In the main hall of the front hall of the General's Office in Chicheng Castle, there are all the officials and military officers under Yong Ning Bo's command. Those who can sit here and participate in the discussion today can be said to be Yong Ning Bo's confidants and core people.
Zhang Cheng was still wearing slightly gorgeous regular clothes, and did not change into his official uniform and python robe. After all, he was just discussing matters with his close associates, and there was not so much talk and elaboration.
Today's atmosphere is as easy-going and warm as ever. It is not as solemn and solemn as when Wang Pu and Li Fuming participated in the meeting a few days ago. This is the normal state of Zhang Cheng and his subordinates' civil and military affairs.
However, although this kind of discussion is easy-going and warm, the high level of dignity cannot be ignored. After all, this is also related to Zhang Cheng's personal prestige.
The leader is still Yongningbo Zhang Cheng, who is sitting alone behind the big case. His two adopted sons Zhang Chengfang and Zhang Mingyuance are standing behind him. There are no other guards except a few old soldiers serving tea.
At the bottom, the civil and military officials were seated on two sides. Between each two of them there was a small table with some pastries, dried fruits, tea, etc. placed on it.
Wang Yuanjing, the former military staff officer, handed a piece of paper to Zhang Chengfang, who passed it to Zhang Cheng on the major case. Zhang Cheng picked it up and only glanced at it briefly. It was all content that had been discussed in previous meetings.
These include candidates for the expansion of the sixth battalion, as well as Yongningbo Zhang Cheng's proposal to set up a four-level and thirteen-level ranking system in the army, etc.
After he put the document back on the case, he turned to Wang Yuan and nodded, saying: "Let me read the personnel arrangements of each battalion to the generals first."
Wang Yuanjing briefly sorted out the cases in front of him, and then began to introduce to everyone the personnel placement plan for the newly expanded sixth battalion.
…………
First of all, there are Wu Zhizhong, the chief general of "Weiyuan Camp", deputy generals Lin Fangping and Xu Jinyong, the town governor is He Biao, the commander-in-chief of the Yongyi Army, and the middle officer is Zhang Jintai.
The two cavalry departments in the camp have different names respectively. One is "Yulin Cavalry", and the commander-in-chief Qian is Li Changsheng; the second is "Tiger Guard Cavalry", and the commander-in-chief Qian is the Mongolian general Su Laohu.
.
According to the provisions of the "Cavalry Regulations" formulated by Zhang Cheng, the cavalry is composed of five people. The second corps is called a team, and there is a captain on the outside, totaling eleven people;
Total of thirty-four people.
Then use the third team as the sentry, with one sentry officer outside, totaling 103 people; the fifth sentry as the division, with one general guard outside, totaling 516 people; finally, use the two divisions as one unit, with the outside
There is one member in charge of the army, plus eight guards and soldiers, for a total of one thousand and forty cavalry.
The Yulin Cavalry and the Tiger Guard Cavalry are the core combat forces under Yongningbo Zhang Cheng. The elite cavalry in their units are carefully selected from each battalion of the Xuanfu Army, and then they are replenished to full strength, while the other battalions have
The same cannot be said for cavalry.
In Zhang Cheng's imagination, the Yulin Cavalry were elite soldiers, equivalent to the military police of later generations. When they traveled in groups, they were also responsible for inspecting military appearance and discipline and correcting violations of military regulations.
However, Yu Linqi has no judicial power in the Yongyi Army. They can only conduct on-site inspections and corrections. If there is a need to convict the behavior, it can only be handed over to the Suijun Subduing Division for conviction and disposal.
The Tiger Guard Cavalry does not assume the responsibility of picketing and correcting. Together with the Yulin Cavalry, they serve as the main assault force of the Weiyuan Battalion, but the Tiger Guard Cavalry focuses more on guarding and sentinel detection.
The commander-in-chief of the First Division of the Yulin Cavalry Department is Chang Zhengxiong, and the commander-in-chief of the Second Division is Zuo Qinghe; the commander-in-chief of the First Division of the Tiger Guard Battalion is Temuer, the former sentry under Su Huhu, and the commander-in-chief of the Second Division is Zuo Qinghe.
Huang Baozhong, the former leader of Yang Guozhu's servant team.
Zhang Cheng took a fancy to the excellent combat prowess of Huang Baozhong and his group of servants, so he naturally wanted to keep them by his side. Not only that, but most of the cavalry from the original Xuanfu Zhenbiao Battalion led by Guo Yingxian were also selected by him to join the Yulin Cavalry and the
The Tiger Guard is riding.
In addition, the Qian General of Weiyuan Battalion's infantry on the left was Yan Kuan, the nephew of Yan Qingrong, the commander of the Kaiping Guards, and the Qian of the right infantry was Du Youwei, the bandit "Tiao Jian Hu" whom Zhang Cheng had recruited to surrender in Henan Province.
There are also two artillery carriages. The Qian commanders are the commanders of the original carriage camp, Yu Shangke and Fan Qijin. In addition to sixty side-chariots, each division will also be equipped with two newly made large artillery carriages.
Ten vehicles.
There are also three baggage trains, Qian, who are also the commanders of the original carriage camp, Liu Shouyue, Hou Shixin, and Ding Yukui. Each of them has one hundred and twenty heavy baggage trains weighing more than two thousand kilograms.
The medical department set up with the camp is headed by Shi Jianneng, and the head of the veterinary department is Liu Huicheng. These two departments are indispensable departments for the army. When the army is marching or the two armies are confronting each other, one is a man and the other is a horse.
Only by providing good care and timely treatment of the injured can we do our best to reduce battle damage.
The head of the Battalion Affairs Department was originally supposed to be Lin Fangping, but as the deputy general of the Weiyuan Battalion, he was already busy with many affairs, so Liu Minshen was appointed as the chief on his behalf. The same was true for the Military Affairs Department, where the chief was Wu Zhizhong, but Wang Yuanjing was appointed as his deputy.
Take office.
In fact, Zhang Cheng wanted to give Liu Minshen some experience so as to observe his abilities. However, Liu Minshen did not have prestige in the Xuanfu army and could not directly serve as the head of the Military Affairs Department, so he made such an operation.
As for Wang Yuanjing, he has always had great prestige in the Yongyi Army. Many officers were his students and learned to read and write under him. They listened to his explanations of classic battles of past dynasties and learned lessons and experiences from them. Therefore, he was purely a companion.
Tied!
…………
Next is the personnel arrangement for the Tengshe Camp. The leader will be Wei Zhice, the guerrilla general from the original Che camp, the deputy will be Jin Yong, the former leader of the Yongwei camp, and Tang Xiancheng, the commander of the Xuanfu Zhenbiao Youying camp.
Jin Yong took up the post of deputy general because the Yongwei Camp he originally commanded had been merged into the Tengshe Camp, and the same was true for Tang Xiancheng. He was originally a general under Yang Guozhu, but now he has no backing and foundation and has been merged into the Tengshe Camp.
Soaring Snake Camp may be the best place to stay.
Qin Dazhong from the former car camp continued to serve as the town governor, and the middle officer was served by Yu Deshui, the general manager of the B Bureau of the Division A on the left side of the Yongwei camp.
The front cavalry commander in the camp was Qiu Yingquan, the former military sentry commander in the Yongwei camp, and the rear cavalry commander Ji Donglai was Tang Xiancheng's right battalion Qian Commander.
The two cavalry headquarters of the Tengshe Camp have an establishment of 1,040 people. However, they are not fully staffed for the time being and can only be replenished slowly in the future.
The Qianzong of the left infantry department is the old Qianzong of the left Yongwei battalion Zheng Youjin, and the Qianzong of the right infantry is also the old Qianzong of the former Yongwei battalion Gao Chengshan.
Others include Li Youcai, the commander of the artillery carriage, and the three convoy commanders are He Hongli, Huo Yuanshan, and Bian Jinzong. They were all promoted to the post of commander from the original carriage camp.
The guerrilla general Wei Zhice had been commanding the chariot camp before. However, this time because each battalion was expanded and equipped with artillery carriages and carriages, most of the former military commanders of the chariot camp were sent to each battalion as deputy generals to strengthen the strength of each battalion.
Riding, infantry, and artillery are drilled together.
Therefore, he could only select and select a group of people at the level of the original commander of the carriage camp to be promoted to the rank of commander of artillery carriages and carriages in Tengshe Camp. This was also the case in Weiyuan Camp.
…………
The Suzaku Camp was expanded based on the cavalry camp that represented the strongest combat power of the original Xuanfu Army, so it naturally attracted much attention.
The battalion was led by guerrilla general Zhang Guangda, with Xiang Jinbao from the Qianhu of the Car Battalion and Wang Tierenwei from the Qianhu of the Cavalry Battalion as deputy generals. The town governor was replaced by Liu Jingzhu from the Dushi Infantry Battalion.
Gu Zhide, the lieutenant officer of the Zhuque Battalion, was originally the captain of the second outpost team of the Cavalry Division under the cavalry battalion. This time, he was promoted to the battalion officer by Zhang Guangda.
Zhang Guangda was no longer the concurrent commander of the heavy cavalry department in the camp. Instead, Hu Dayou, the former commander of the heavy cavalry department, was promoted to the post of commander-in-chief of the heavy cavalry department.
However, because heavy cavalry is time-consuming from selection to training, and its equipment is also valuable, and war horses are more difficult to find, so the heavy cavalry subordinates only have five sentry heavy cavalry, and their tentative number is only 516.
The number of people is only equivalent to the strength of a division of Yulin Cavalry in Weiyuan Camp.
The original Mongolian Cavalry Department of the Cavalry Battalion is no longer separate, but is mixed into the Ranger Department. The former Mongolian Cavalry Department Qian Commander Mo Rigen serves as the new Ranger Department Qian Commander, under the jurisdiction of five sentry rangers.
There were five hundred and sixteen mounted warriors.
The Qingqi Department promoted Ma Sanzhuang, the former Qian Commander Wang Tieren, as the deputy general of the Qinglong Battalion, to the post of Qing Cavalry Department Chief Qian, under the jurisdiction of two divisions with a total of 1,040 cavalrymen.
.
In addition, Wang Sanhu, the former commander-in-chief of the chariot division of the Chariot Division, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the chariot division, while the commander of the chariot division was temporarily replaced by Yang Qing, the sentry officer of the Ranger Division of the former cavalry battalion.
Zhang Guangda's cavalry battalion originally had 500 carriage troops, but now they are all integrated into the carriage department. Therefore, the battalion's carriage department not only has heavy carriages, but also many war horses, mules and auxiliary soldiers.
.
…………
The commander of Qinglong Battalion is Zhang Guodong, the deputy general is Du Chungang, the former commander of the carriage camp, Kuang Yongzhong, the guerrilla of the Xuanfu Ranger Battalion, and the town governor is Fang Zhihai of the former cavalry battalion.
Although Kuang Yongzhong was not a direct subordinate of the former commander-in-chief Yang Guozhu, he and his troops were very capable. After the life-and-death battle in Liaodong, Kuang Yongzhong naturally admired Zhang Cheng very much.
What's more, Zhang Cheng is now at the height of his power. He has backers both inside and outside the palace. He is very favored by the emperor and his soldiers, and he is also very powerful in the Xuanfu. Isn't this the support he needs?
For this reason, Kuang Yongzhong expressed to Zhang Cheng many times his determination to follow Yong Ningbo and make achievements. Therefore, during this expansion, Zhang Cheng integrated him and more than 2,000 soldiers under his command into Qinglong Camp.
The Central Military Officer of the Qinglong Camp was former Qian Commander Liu Changliang, and his replacement, General Zhang Guodong, was directly in charge of the cavalry, artillery, and carriage divisions of the Chinese Army.
Among them, the cavalry division has 516 knights; the artillery division has 20 side chariots, five large artillery carriages, and ten heavy baggage carriages, equipped with coachmen, bargemen, gunners, etc.
In addition to thirty heavy baggage vehicles, the Chariot Division will also be equipped with vehicles and equipment such as wheelbarrows, stretcher trucks, command vehicles, watchtowers, siege trampolines, etc., as well as a certain number of craftsmen who will accompany the army and be responsible for maintaining the vehicles.
and temporary fabrication of the necessary equipment.
There are five infantry thousand headquarters in Qinglong Battalion. The front thousand general, Han Rongkui, was originally the thousand general of Kuang Yongzhong Ranger Battalion; the rear thousand general, Qian Mushi, was the former Yongning camp thousand general; the middle thousand general, Huang Daguang, was the old thousand of Chicheng camp.
General Manager; Chen Shi, the Qian General Manager of the Left Department, was promoted to be the former General Manager of the Left Department; Kong Shouchang, the Qian General Manager of the Right Department, was also the old Qian General Manager of the Kuang Yongzhong Ranger Camp.
…………
The chief general of the White Tiger Camp is the guerrilla general Chen Zheng, the deputy generals are Yu Jin, the former Qianhu of the Cheying Camp, and Mingyu, the former Qianzongtian of the Dushi Camp. The town governor is replaced by Xia Shuncheng, the former Chicheng Camp.
The officer in the camp was Huang An, an old commander who had participated in the Battle of Julu. He was also the acting commander-in-chief, Chen Zheng, who was directly in charge of the three divisions of cavalry, artillery, and carriages of the Chinese army. The equipment of each division was no different from that of the Qinglong camp.
The five Qianqian headquarters in Baihu Camp are also fully equipped. The front Qianzong is Laoqian General Manager Song Shanquan; the rear Qianzong is newly promoted Duan Qingzhong to take over Tian Mingyu's position; the middle Qianzong is Lao Qianqian Zhou Zhouping
; The Qianzong on the left is Lei Kejun from Yongning Camp; the Qianzong on the right Pan Chengji is a subordinate of He Zhenxiong from Zhenbiao Zuoying.
…………
Finally, there is the Xuanwu Battalion. The commander of this battalion is the guerrilla general Li Jiyu. The deputy generals are Liu Shizun, the former guard of Chang'an Mountain, and Qian Zonggou Changsheng, the commander on the right side of the chariot. The town governor is Liu Shizong, the former commander of Kaiping Guards.
Determined to take charge.
The reason why Zhang Cheng arranged this was not only to use Liu Shizun and Gou Changsheng to contain Li Jiyu, but also to enable Li Jiyu's troops to be truly integrated with the Xuanfu army as soon as possible and become the real main force of the battalion.
You must know that the main force of the Xuanwu Camp is still the original Dengfeng Camp with more than 2,000 troops, but most of them are former bandits. Although they have received training in Yongning for a period of time, they are still far from the standards of a real battalion.
gap.
Liu Shizun came from a military family, and his military attainments were quite extraordinary. What was even more rare was that he was cautious and measured in his dealings. Having him assist Li Jiyu also made Zhang Cheng feel more at ease.
Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Shizun is not Zhang Cheng's old friend when he was Qin Wang. This arrangement eliminates the suspicion of spying on Li Jiyu and seems to be the most appropriate.
Then there is the former Chariot Department Chief Qian Yu Jin, whose understanding and mastery of vehicle-artillery coordination and infantry-artillery coordination are deeper than those of Li Jiyu and others. He is responsible for training Xuanwu Camp soldiers to use firearms and practice infantry.
Artillery cooperates in combat.
The lieutenant general of the Xuanwu Camp was still Zhou Ruli, the former lieutenant of the Dengfeng Camp, who also took over the cavalry, artillery, and carriage divisions under the direct control of Li Jiyu.
However, Xuanwu Camp currently only has four infantry thousand headquarters, namely the front Qianzong Shen Jingbang; the rear Qianzong Ji Zhiying; the left Qianzong Hou Xu Guo is the former deputy Qianhu of Chang'anling brought by Liu Shizun; the right Qianzong
Niu Gengtian was transferred from the former cavalry battalion’s ranger unit officer.
…………
In this way, the military positions of the newly expanded Sixth Battalion with a thousand generals and above were basically determined. After listening to Wang Yuanjing's announcement, the officials and generals present had no objections.
In fact, Zhang Cheng also put a lot of effort into this personnel appointment. Although he did not solicit opinions one by one, he also found several key people and had some private exchanges before finally finalizing it.
The most important thing is whether the camp leaders have any opinions. After all, these people will fight side by side with them in the future, and mutual trust and cooperation are crucial.
Seeing that no one had any special opinions, the personnel arrangements for each battalion's commander-in-chief and above were finally established, and the remaining military positions, including generals and subordinates, were left to the chief generals and deputy generals of each battalion to discuss and determine, and finally a list was formed and submitted to the Yongningbo shogunate.
Just register and file.
Then began the discussion about the rank system proposed by Zhang Cheng. This is the focus of today's military discussion!
