Chapter 101: The new establishment of the battalion
"This new general is too ruthless. Master Xue is such a big official, he will be beheaded as soon as he is told..."
"...Why are you complaining about General Zhang? You didn't read the notice. Lord Xue and Wu Shoubei from Chicheng colluded with bandits and murdered General General first..."
"...Then it won't be like being chopped up alive..."
"...Hmph, if you were a military commander, you would be even more ruthless than killing Master Xue alive..."
"...No matter what you say...this person who colluded with the bandits deserves to die..."
People in the streets and alleys of Dushikou Fort were quietly discussing Xue Liangqing's case. The execution scene outside Nanguan Pass was a great shock to them. They had seen many beheadings, and some people would rarely see such a scene alive.
However, although Xue Liangqing was the most severely mutilated alive, it was thanks to Big Monkey's unskilled knife skills that he killed the obese Xue Liangqing in just over 600 cuts.
It is said that from then on, the big monkey often went into the mountains alone to catch some game. After returning, he practiced hard on the knife skills of cutting meat. Not only did he improve his hiding and lurking skills, but his ability to capture and hunt was also greatly improved. It also made the people around him a feast for the eyes!
…………
In the official hall in the back hall of the General's Office in Dushikou Fort, Zhang Cheng was chatting freely with everyone who came from the town. Seeing that everyone here was growing up little by little, he felt extremely happy.
Even Feng Yuanshan, Ma Zhongli and others looked a bit like officials. Although they were not richly dressed, they were neatly dressed and their sitting postures were extremely upright. They were completely different from when Ma Fang was first rescued.
Everyone was very concerned about Zhang Cheng's injuries. They first talked about the attack and Zhang Cheng's injuries before getting to the point and reporting their respective situations.
Needless to say, Lin Fangping, Zhang Cheng has already seen the healthy women's camp. Whether they are guarding the gate or standing guard, or patrolling in the back house, they all line up neatly. They have the appearance of sergeants and can train a group of women.
This shows that Lin Fangping works very hard.
Ma Zhongli used to herd horses on the Xinbao side of Zhencheng, but now he only left a hundred well-bred war horses and a hundred mules and horses there, most of which he drove all the way to the north, and now they are all in Yun
There are two places where cattle are grazed in Zhou and Dushi.
He was originally from a horse household, and most of the people Zhang Cheng rescued that day were old horse households in the horse farm. At this time, he was barely enough in the hands of the herdsmen in the three places, especially the many soldiers on the North Road.
The households originally had the responsibility of raising and herding horses, and in the future these military households could be recruited to supplement them.
The situation of all parties was almost understood. Zhang Cheng pondered for a while and then said: "Feng Yuanshan must step up the reclamation of wasteland, and the construction of canals cannot be delayed. In the future, we can also rush to plant winter wheat. Grain is the most important thing.
I will appoint you as the head of the Farming Section of the Tunnel Administration Department, and you will also be responsible for land reclamation affairs. If you need manpower and resources, you can ask Mr. Yan to solve it."
"Ma Zhongli is appointed as the head of the Animal Husbandry Section of the Tunnel Administration Office. You will be in charge of horse herding, as well as the breeding and grazing of pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese. Tomorrow you will also go to Mr. Yan and ask him to allocate relevant military households to you.
In addition, if you meet a suitable person, you can also report to Master Yan for promotion and appointment."
"Now let's talk about the military side. Lao Wu, please hand over to Chen Zheng. The new army on the Dushi side will be handed over to Chen Zheng's command and named Dushi Infantry Camp. Cui Shijie will be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the battalion."
Zhang Cheng glanced at Wu Zhizhong, Zhang Guangda, Chen Zheng and others with bright eyes, and continued: "The Dushi Infantry Camp here is similar to Zhang Guodong's Chicheng Infantry Camp. They follow the sequence of Department, Division, Bureau, Team, and A.
After compilation, this is customized for the general's subordinate camp.
There are twelve people in one armor, and each armor has one captain; the third armor is a team, with one additional captain, and the whole team has thirty-seven officers and soldiers; the third team is one bureau, with one additional commander and two guards, and the overall situation is
There were one hundred and fourteen officers and men;
Then, the four bureaus are divided into one division, and each division is equipped with one additional commander, four guards, and a total of 461 officers and soldiers in the whole division; then the two divisions are divided into one division, each division is equipped with one commander, four guards, and town guards.
There are two sergeants and four flag bearers and commanding officers, making a total of 933 officers and soldiers in each unit;
My idea is to combine the three divisions into one battalion. Each battalion will have one general officer, one town governor, twenty town sergeants, one mid-level officer, and one hundred and fifty cavalry guards for the mid-level army, including some night guards.
Not accepting sergeants,
There is one chariot commander, ten side chariots, three baggage vehicles, and a total of 130 drivers, bargemen, and gunners. In this way, the whole battalion has a total of 3,103 officers and men."
After saying so many words in one breath, Zhang Cheng was a little tired, so he stopped to drink tea, while Wu Zhizhong, Zhang Guangda and others looked thoughtful.
In particular, Chen Zheng thought over and over in his mind what Zhang Cheng had just said, that he would be able to command more than 3,000 sergeants all at once. He felt deeply that Yali Mountain was huge, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared. He was afraid that he would not be able to bear such a heavy burden.
I'm sorry for Zhang Cheng's love.
Zhang Cheng took a few sips of tea, took a breath, and continued: "Before the end of the year, these two infantry camps must recruit two troops and train them to form combat capabilities. The remaining one can be slowly added later.
Let’s recruit and train again.”
"As for the organization of each soldier, I originally imagined that one division would have four bureaus, two of which would be the Killer Hundreds, and two would be the Guns and Firearms Centuries. Such a division would be able to take care of enemies both far and near. Is there anything you can add to this?
Where?"
There was a hint of worry on Wu Zhizhong's face, and he said to Zhang Cheng: "General, this is a special aid tour. There have been regulations for a long time. The number of reinforcement battalions directly led by the participating generals should be around three thousand. Now our battalion has a quota of three thousand. So,
I'm afraid he wants to recruit three battalions based on the general's wishes.
That’s more than 10,000 horses. Even if the Holy One orders the general to train five thousand more horses, this is still more than many horses. If this matter is discovered by someone who is interested, it may be detrimental to the general!"
Everyone in the hall looked at Zhang Cheng with worried faces. In fact, they also wanted to have more soldiers and horses, but the local capacity on Shangbei Road was limited and could not afford to raise so many soldiers and horses. Even the imperial court would not allow a general.
There are more horses than soldiers.
Zhang Cheng smiled, drank tea leisurely, watched everyone in the hall discuss for a while, and then said: "Zhizhong's worries are not unreasonable. You all must learn from Lao Wu and be able to be independent."
Think about the problem and make up for the omissions."
When Zhang Cheng said this, he paused and then continued: "It is said that one person is short of skills, two people are wise, and three people can easily discuss things.
Now our stall is getting bigger and bigger, and it will get bigger in the future. If we only rely on the strength of one person, we will definitely fall short. In the end, we need to pool our wisdom and work together.
This is what I meant when I established the shogunate. It is just that the shogunate has just been established, and there are still many things that need to be improved. You are my close friends. You should not only do more, but also see more, think more, and think more.
