Of course, Yang Zhenguang said this, but everyone present could not understand the reason for it.

The name Tuanying was not something that Yang Zhen came up with on his own, but it appeared again and again in the Ming Dynasty's military system in Beijing, and then was revoked again and again.

Among the generals present, many are veteran generals in the army, and they are more or less aware of the regiment and camp system that has existed for a long time.

However, the regiment camp mentioned by Yang Zhen is obviously different from the so-called regiment camp of the 10 regiment camps of the Jingtai period and the 12 regiment camps of the Chenghua period.

It should be said that except for the same name, the Tuanying mentioned by Yang Zhen is almost completely different from the previous Tuanying. At least Yang Zhen hopes to use this name to transform it into what he wants.

"There are three battalions under this newly established Songshan Regiment Camp. One is the Songshan City Guard Camp, which is divided into five sentries in the front, rear, left, right and middle, with a strength of 1,500 people.

"In addition to the three sentry troops originally led by General Xia Chengde and Xia Chengde, Dunn and Yu Keji, you two will each lead one sentry and join them."

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen found Dunn and Yu Keji among the general officers present, and then said to them: "Deng En will be promoted to garrison from now on and continue to command the artillery unit of the post. Yu Keji will be promoted to garrison."

Commander Qian, from now on, the sentry troops under our command will be changed to grenadiers. At the same time, Fan Chenggong will be the garrison commander of Songshan City!"

When Dunn, Yu Keji, and Fan Chenggong heard what Yang Zhen said, they immediately came out and knelt on the ground to accept the appointment.

The teams originally led by Dunn and Yu Keji were all auxiliary troops of the advance battalion reserve. When the Songshan defense battle ended in October and the main force crossed the sea to fight on the Liaodong Peninsula, they were ordered to stay in Songshan City.

Now, Yang Zhen has organized the men and horses they led into regular soldiers, and both of them have been promoted and appointed. Of course, they have nothing to say.

As for Fan Chenggong, he was Xia Chengde's general and Xia Chengde's brother-in-law. Now that Xia Chengde was the general training soldier of the Songshan Regiment, it was reasonable to promote him to the commander of the city defense camp.

Only Xia Chengde himself was a little confused. For a while, he couldn't figure out whether there was any problem in this.

However, he had just been appointed as the chief military officer of the Songshan regiment. At the same time, Yang Zhen asked him to take unified command of the newly established Songshan regiment camp and asked his brother-in-law to serve as the commander of the city guard camp. He could only nod in agreement.

"After Anqing, Li Ma and Hu Tuge, come forward and obey the order!"

After Yang Zhen talked about the defense of Songshan City, he immediately named these three people. The three of them had been summoned by Yang Zhen before and were promoted respectively. At this time, when they heard Yang Zhen's roll call at the scene, they immediately stepped forward and knelt down.

Take orders.

"Your three troops will be jointly organized into the Songshan Patrol Battalion from now on. The battalion will also be organized into five sentries, two sentry cavalry sentries, and three sentry grenadier sentries. Li Ma will lead one sentry cavalry sentry to be stationed in the ditch between the Big and Small Hongluo Mountains. Anqing

Later, Hutuge led the remaining three sentry grenadiers and one sentry cavalry to garrison the Rufenggang Camp. The entire patrol camp was made with Anqing Hou as the capital!"

When Yang Zhen met with these people before, he had already asked them to expand their own forces. Although he did not explain their next arrangements in such detail, he basically had this idea.

At that moment, after these three people determined that they would continue to stay near Songshan, they had no other ideas and kowtowed on the spot.

"As for the remaining camp head, it's called Songshan Transport Camp. Yang Zhan'ao, Guo Zengfu, Wang Ju, Song Enzi, you guys come forward and listen to the order!"

As soon as Yang Zhen finished speaking, the five people whose names were called walked out of the crowd gathered in the lobby and knelt on the ground.

Next, Yang Zhen assigned tasks to them respectively.

First, Yang Zhan'ao was ordered to formally organize the reserve musketeers left behind in Songshan City into two regular musketeers;

Second, Guo Zengfu was ordered to select people from the troops left behind at Zhimao Bay and the allocated prisoners to form a naval outpost;

Third, Wang Ju, Wang Shoutang's second son, was ordered to form a mixed sentry of musketeers and grenadiers to take charge of the mining and metallurgical factories in Dahongluoshan.

Fourth, Song Enzi, the veteran leader who was recommended by Pan Wenmao to take charge of the Songshan Ammunition Factory, was ordered to reorganize the remaining personnel into a post and promote him to Chief Qian, responsible for making nitrate, dispensing, loading and other ammunition production.

In order to allow them to stay at ease and continue to focus on the production and manufacturing of ammunition, Yang Zhen had to make their role more important:

"After I led the others to move to Lushun, Jinzhou, you stayed here to form the Songshan Troop Battalion, and Yang Zhan'ao was promoted to the Commander-in-Chief of the Troop Camp. The tasks you shoulder are no easier than those of the city defense camp and the patrol camp.

"Whether this Governor can gain a foothold in Lushun, Jinzhou, within this year and a half, all depends on whether your ammunition production in Songshan City can supply it!"

After Yang Zhen said these words, all the generals and commanders present immediately knew what they were going to do in the future, and they started talking about it for a while.

The named generals, colonels, officers, and officers were all assigned to different battalion heads under the Songshan Regiment Camp, but they were all designated to stay in Songshan.

At this time, those general officers and officers who were not named also understood that since they were not incorporated into the Songshan regiment camp, they would naturally follow Yang Zhen to move to the defense.

All the generals present had their own thoughts for a moment, but no one paid much attention to the regimental camp method proposed by Yang Zhenxin.

Because this so-called regiment camp, after all, is nothing more than a general commander who oversees the city garrison camp stationed in the city, the patrol camp stationed outside the city, and the baggage camp responsible for the production and transportation of military supplies.

And this commander-in-chief is the newly appointed Songshan regiment training chief officer Xia Chengde.

"Songshan Regiment Camp consists of three battalions and fifteen sentries. Each performs its own duties and responsibilities during peacetime. During wartime, the Songshan Regiment Training Officer is responsible for unified dispatch and command."

After Yang Zhen assigned various left-behind tasks, he finally said to the generals present: "There are fifteen posts, and the salary is a total of 4,500 people. Of course it is not too much, but it is not too little.

.These troops may be lacking in aggressiveness, but their defense should not be a big problem.

"Moreover, the land covered with gold and sea seems far away from Songshan City, but in fact, it is only separated by a sea. If we look at the real distance between the two places, the nearest place is less than 200 miles.

"If Songjin is in danger, it will only take three or two days for the governor to lead his army to come to the rescue from the other side. If the problem cannot be solved, you can send people across the sea to see me at any time."

After Yang Zhen said these words, he looked at the faces of the generals and officers who had been ordered to stay behind. Seeing that no one had any objections, he nodded and said:

"The rainy season has passed, and the weather is getting warmer. It is expected that in a few days, the coastal sea ice will gradually melt. By then, it will be the day when the governor will cross the sea and move to the defense.

"Everyone who has been ordered to stay behind should reorganize the team as soon as possible and build a regiment camp. The remaining ones who have not been ordered to stay behind should follow the instructions of the Associate Camp Affairs Office, pack up their troops as soon as possible, and be ready to set off at any time!"

When Yang Zhen said this, all the generals in the hall, whether they were kneeling, sitting or standing, all took the order in unison and said loudly:

"I will obey the orders of the Governor!"

After the generals received the order, Yang Zhen told them to go back and prepare. Soon, everyone dispersed. Only Yang Chaojin, the supervisor of the army, was still sitting on the Grand Master's chair beside Yang Zhen, his face solemn and motionless.

"Brother, after the sea is opened to navigation, are you going to cross the sea with me and move to southern Liaoning, or are you going to stay in Songshan City temporarily?"

Although today's discussion is not the final mobilization of defense, Yang Zhen has said what needs to be said, and the arrangements that need to be made are almost complete.

The next step is to wait for the weather to get warmer, the ice conditions to ease, and for Yuan Jin, Qiu Zhenhai, and Yu Liangtai to return with their fleet.

Therefore, it is time for Yang Zhen to confirm Yang Chaojin's attitude.

"To be honest, Qing Han, please tell me that the previous visitor from the capital, in addition to conveying the decree, also brought me some news, saying that the imperial court seems to be planning to remove the internal ministers and supervisors of the army!"

"Remove the internal ministers and supervisors? Is there such a proposal?"

Yang Chaojin's words moved Yang Zhen's heart.

Yang Zhen knew that Emperor Chongzhen always had disputes with the ministers in the court and the local governors and governors on the issue of whether to send internal ministers to supervise the army.

During the seventeen years that Emperor Chongzhen was emperor, he sent troops at one time and withdrew at another, over and over again.

Could it be that this time, I allowed myself to catch up?

Yang Zhen today is different from before.

He no longer needed a minister to oversee the army to help him gain the trust of Emperor Chongzhen.

At the same time, he doesn't need a minister to oversee the army to help him avoid Gao Qiqian, the deceptive thing of Ji Liao's commander-in-chief.

Therefore, at this time, he had basically the same idea as the soldiers of the imperial court and the governors from all over the world. He did not want to have a eunuch around him as a military minister or a supervisory officer to constrain him.

Although the Yang Chaojin in front of me has a good relationship with him, after he took office, he made a three-part agreement with him and did not interfere much in the military command, nor in the appointment and dismissal of officers and soldiers in various departments in Songshan. He is considered to be a good one among the ministers who oversee the army.

However, for Yang Zhen, he still didn't want to see a military supervisor following him.

For example, this time, when he took the initiative to ask Yang Chaojin for his opinion, he actually had a preference in his heart.

He hoped that Yang Chaojin would continue to stay in Songshan City instead of following him to Liaonan and Lushunkou.

But he couldn't say this clearly, so he could only make indirect inquiries, and then try to persuade him according to circumstances, trying to let him stay in Songshan first.

For Yang Zhen, when it comes to dealing with Zu Dashou and the Manchu Tatars, this Yang Chaojin is more worthy of his trust than the current generals left behind in Songshan.

Allowing Yang Chaojin to stay in Songshan City will not only reduce one person to monitor him, but also increase one person to monitor the Songshan generals.

However, what Yang Zhen didn't expect was that there was actually a proposal in the imperial court to abolish all the ministers who had overseen the army. He felt mixed in his heart.

But when Yang Chaojin heard Yang Zhen's surprised question, he first sighed, and then said: "The emperor has been subject to court discussions for a long time. Now there are many court discussions, and everyone says that the internal ministers supervising the army are harmful, so the internal ministers supervising the army should be abolished."

This matter is probably a foregone conclusion."

"Then, why don't you, brother, stay in Songshan City for the time being to observe the situation and then decide what to do? The emperor's decree previously urged me to lead the army to the east. I may not be able to stay in Songshan for a long time!"
