Chapter 162 One Hundred Thousand Elite Soldiers! The Five Military Departments(1/2)

After looking through the booklet, Zhu Aona couldn't help but feel happy.

Preliminary statistics at the time of the surrender showed that there were 320,000 Daxi troops who surrendered this time.

Among them, more than 6,000 elite soldiers from the old camp suffered a drop in Peking University's revenue.

In the ordinary sense, there are more than 40,000 elite soldiers.

There are more than 60,000 soldiers who dare to fight, and more than 30,000 motley soldiers.

Because the camp roar mainly occurred in the camps of miscellaneous soldiers and the camps of soldiers who dared to fight, the soldiers at these two levels were killed and injured last night, and the largest number were missing.

Otherwise, the Beida camp under Zhang Xianzhong's personal command should have numbered 180,000 people.

Liu Wenxiu's Nanda camp originally had more than 120,000 troops.

Last night, only a few campsites had camp roars, so today we have surrendered more than 20,000 elite soldiers, 70,000 soldiers who dare to fight, and more than 10,000 rabble-rousers.

Li Dingguo's Dongda camp originally had more than 130,000 troops.

There were camp roars in some campsites last night.

Today we have surrendered more than 20,000 elite soldiers, more than 50,000 soldiers who dare to fight, and more than 10,000 rabble-rousers.

As for Sun Kewang's Western Camp, there were originally 150,000 people.

But in the roar of the camp last night, because Sun Kewang led tens of thousands of elite soldiers and fled, the number of soldiers surrendered today was the least.

There are only more than 3,000 elite soldiers, more than 30,000 soldiers who dare to fight, and more than 5,000 motley soldiers.

According to the information revealed by several generals who returned from the Western Camp, Sun Kewang should have only taken away 20,000 to 30,000 elite soldiers last night.

Therefore, there were casualties and injuries in the Western Camp last night, and more than half of the soldiers were missing!

Seeing such a discrepancy in data, Zhu Yuyao couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

These soldiers were originally supposed to be hers.

Even if they can't all be recruited as soldiers and sent to farm and work, it would still be good.

According to Lady Red's on-the-spot inspection of the West Camp, more than 30,000 people were killed or injured in the camp roar, and the remaining 40,000 people probably fled elsewhere.

Most of these people will become bandits, seriously endangering the safety of people in counties and towns below Chengdu.

After sighing with dissatisfaction, Zhu Aona turned the page and saw the total statistics of soldiers at each level.

This time, a total of more than 120,000 elite troops were collected and surrendered, including more than 10,000 cavalry, nearly 20,000 elite soldiers, and 90,000 ordinary elite soldiers.

Those who dared to fight surrendered a total of 240,000 soldiers.

There are only about 60,000 motley soldiers left.

Altogether, it is the figure she saw at the beginning - 320,000 people.

At this time, the red lady below said: "These data were compiled by the generals of each camp when they surrendered. There may be some errors and omissions, and some wounded soldiers will die in the next few days.

In addition, when we surrendered, we did not test the physical fitness and combat capabilities of each soldier one by one. In the future, we will definitely eliminate a group of unqualified soldiers during reorganization.

As a result, the number of elite soldiers we can finally obtain and those who dare to fight will probably shrink a lot."

"I understand." Zhu Yulao nodded after hearing this, and then said: "Tomorrow, the Imperial Palace will come up with a rough outline of the reorganization, and then we will start with Chief Red as the main force, Chief Ma as the supplement, and Chief Liu as the supplement.

Reorganize these surrendered troops."

Hearing this, the red lady didn't say anything.

Liu Linchang, who had been listening, couldn't help but ask: "Jian Guo, is this too fast?

After all, there were 320,000 of them, and they surrendered just now.

If we accidentally cause military chaos, I'm afraid it will endanger the security of Chengdu."

Zhu Yasuo smiled slightly and said: "Assistant Liu, don't worry. I have ordered Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu to return to their homes. I will ask them to assist in the reorganization tomorrow. There will be no trouble."

"This..." Liu Linchang didn't know what to say.

Normally, it is impossible for Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu to return home so quickly. Letting them go out tomorrow to assist in reorganization will only make things more dangerous.

But after all, Zhu Yurao was "favoured by God", and things related to her cannot be treated with common sense.

Liu Linchang remained silent, but the red lady couldn't help but wonder: "Why did the supervisor change their surnames?"

Zhu Aao smiled and said: "Their surname was not Zhang originally, but they changed their surname to Zhang after they were adopted by Zhang Xianzhong. Tomorrow, I will let them change their surname back to their original surname."

···

The next day.

After breakfast, Zhu Ailao first summoned Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi and proposed that they change their surnames back to their original names.

After an afternoon and night, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu finally digested the information Zhu Aao instilled.

The two selectively told Ainengqi part of the story, and subdued Ainengqi, asking him to follow and be loyal to Zhu Ainao.

Changing back to their original surname was something they had done in history. At this time, they also had this idea in their hearts, so as soon as Zhu Yucao proposed it, the three of them agreed.

Later, Li Yan, Hong Niangzi, Ma Ke, and Liu Zhenfan came to Chengyun Hall.

After the four of them saluted, Zhu Aona took out a stack of brochures and asked Fei Zhen'e to distribute them. Even Li Dingguo and the other two had their share.

"This is the "Second Army Reorganization Outline" that I discussed with my consort. If you think there is anything wrong, you can make suggestions.

Once the supplements are complete, we will use this ‘outline’ to come up with a corresponding reorganization plan.”

After hearing what Zhu Aao said, Li Yan and the other four immediately started looking through the booklet.

However, Li Dingguo and the other three were a little surprised, wondering where a prince-in-law had appeared, who could actually consult with the princess on state affairs.

But the three of them didn't think much and quickly started flipping through the booklets in their hands.

After reading this simple "outline of reorganization", Li Yan and the other four people put forward some of their own views and opinions in the hall.

After supplementation and improvement, a reasonable and feasible reorganization plan was negotiated based on the "Outline" and their respective military experiences.

Finally, I asked Li Dingguo and the other three for their opinions, and they all said that there was basically no problem, so the reorganization plan was finalized.

···

According to the "outline" and "plan", this reorganization not only targeted the 320,000 surrendered Western Army, but also included Chengdu's original nearly 80,000 troops.

In order to cooperate with this major reorganization of the army, the Military Affairs Office under the Supervisory Government has added a Recruitment Department and a Military Training Department.

The Recruitment Department specializes in recruiting and selecting soldiers from all over the country.

The Military Training Department has three major battalions under its jurisdiction, namely the intensive training camp, the general training camp, and the refresher camp.

The training camp is specifically responsible for training new recruits recruited by the Recruiting Department.

The training camp is specifically responsible for the training of surrendered soldiers and old soldiers of the previous Ming Dynasty.

The training camp is a place for mid-level and low-level officers to further their studies.

If soldiers want to be promoted to low-level generals, they will also come here for further training first, or supplementary training afterwards.

In the vision of Hao Guangming and Zhu Yurao, the training camp is the prototype of the military academy. It will be independent from the Military Training Department in the future, and Zhu Yurao will personally serve as the principal.

During this major reorganization, soldiers who are qualified and willing to continue serving as soldiers will be sent to the training camp for reorganization and short-term training.

Middle and low-level generals (general officers of Qianzong and below) will also be sent to training camps.

Starting from the guerrilla level, the soldiers and generals under each general will be deployed by the Military Affairs Department.

In addition, the reorganized army will prohibit the appearance of servants, but the general can select a certain number of elite soldiers from the army as personal soldiers.

This will further eliminate the situation where soldiers become generals.

Finally, through this reorganization, the ranks of ordinary soldiers will be officially divided among the recruited soldiers, and they will be divided from bottom to top into auxiliary soldiers, regular soldiers, and strong soldiers.

After the above systems are determined, the structure and reorganization of the army can be carried out.

According to the guidance of the "Second Army Reorganization Outline", the army under the jurisdiction of the Supervisory Government will be divided into five major systems: the Royal Forest Army, the Imperial Guard, the Border Defense Army, the Garrison Army, and the Industrial and Tunnel Army.

Among them, the Royal Forest Army was Zhu Yurao's personal army. Its purpose was to protect Zhu Yurao and was directly commanded by Zhu Yurao.

The army is tentatively scheduled to have four battalions, and the specific plan is as follows -

The Suzaku Battalion is composed entirely of female soldiers, with a rated strength of 500.

The valiant cavalry camp is composed of fine cavalry, with a rated cavalry of 2,000 and auxiliary troops of 2,000.

The Huben Battalion is composed of elite soldiers who are tall enough and strong enough, equipped with the best armor and cold weapons. It is rated at 3,000 regular soldiers and 3,000 auxiliary soldiers.

The Shenji Battalion is composed of musketeers and artillery, with five thousand regular soldiers and five thousand auxiliary soldiers.

It is worth mentioning that because several people who participated in the discussion about the reorganization of the army have watched the war videos and films of later generations and knew that the Musketeers were the future development trend, they not only did not raise objections to the formation of the Shenji Battalion, but also supported it.

The above, with 10,500 regular soldiers and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, is the full configuration of the Royal Forest Army after this reorganization.

The Imperial Guard is an army directly under the supervision of the Imperial Palace (the Imperial Court/Central Government).

This time, soldiers from three towns will be reorganized.

The battalion system established by Zhu Yuluo, Li Yan and others through the first reorganization on the way to Sichuan remains unchanged, with units, teams, sentries, generals and battalions in order.

The town was established this time and is a level higher than the camp.
