The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 645
Doing this is also to prevent problems before they happen. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty prevented the generals from rebelling, and Huang Han also wanted to prevent the generals with many troops in their hands from becoming dissatisfied.

Therefore, no matter how many powers and positions there are, four thousand people in the direct line is the limit. During the battle, Huang Han appointed the chief general of one party through the Zongzan Painting Department.

After the main general receives the soldier talisman, he can lead several battalions to form a front army, and the soldiers of other battalions will obey orders and obey commands.

The components of a battalion are basically a thousand cavalry, a thousand infantry, and a thousand soldiers with the largest number, which are scouts, messengers, dog soldiers, personal soldiers, artillery, engineers, medical soldiers, propaganda teams, etc. Wait to mix and match.

Each "Red Banner Army" battalion has at least two Qianzong Guards as auxiliary soldiers and supplementary soldiers. These guards are equivalent to trainees and are the best candidates for regularization.

If you fight on the inside line, you can recruit young and middle-aged men on the spot as labor labor with the army. With people who do odd jobs, then the guards can start from tedious tasks such as feeding horses, walking horses, carrying supplies, fetching water for cooking, and steaming cakes. Wait for relief from work.

More than half of the two guards with a total of more than [-] people use self-generating guns, and they don't need to launch an attack when they participate in the battle. Sticking to the camp can definitely play the role of a regular soldier.

Due to the insufficient number of soldiers in Dongjiang Town, Denglai, and Tianjin, and because the "Red Banner Army" has strict requirements for the selection of regular soldiers, the proportion that meets the requirements of regular soldiers is insufficient.

Now the army can only form 25 main battalions with 12 soldiers, and the navy and marines can form five full infantry battalions with [-] people, which means that there are [-] people who can fight on land.

When the cavalry needs to be concentrated in wartime, only a small number of scouts are left in the battalion, and even the general's personal soldiers are recruited.

This arrangement still strengthens the collective and downplays the individual, highlighting that the general's personal guard is not private.

The number of regular soldiers is not enough and the requirements cannot be lowered. In the future, the selection conditions for the "Red Banner Army" will only become higher and higher, and the situation of filling up the number will never be allowed to happen.

Strengthening the construction of the reserve service is the only way to prevent fishing in the dry lake. The role of the guard army as a supplementary and auxiliary army cannot be ignored. Now the guard army has nearly [-] people in training.

At the same time, the training of Xiangyong is also in full swing. In the winter, there is nothing to do, and the young and middle-aged cannot be idle. The "Red Banner Army" manages the food and provides five buckets of food for a month, and organizes a large number of strong men to train with ash pole spears.

Knowing how to understand the trumpets and drums, and how to fight in formations, the village braves picked up white wax pole spears, and their fighting power when facing the scourge of bandits in their hometown should not be underestimated.

It only took Huang Han half a month to complete the transformation of all the garrison troops in Tianjin Guard, weeding out old and weak soldiers, and selecting soldiers from the guard army who had participated in training for two or three years to become regular soldiers of the "Red Banner Army".

Tianjin Guards will be stationed in two battalions in the future. The main generals will be Yang Hanwei and Zheng Xuewu. Finally, it must be able to pull out and hit loudly.

Ji Town's defense line needs to be solid, who can reassure Huang Han the most?Father Huang Yizhou did his part.

Huang Han transferred Huang Yizhou to lead two battalions to garrison Santun Camp, one battalion to garrison Shanhaiguan, and three battalions to garrison Da'ankou, Gubeikou, Longjingguan, Xifengkou, Dushikou and other Great Wall passes.

The leaders of the six battalions are Liu Fenyong, Shang Keyi, Li Weiluan, Yang Jian, Huang Feng, and Yang Guobing.

The current Shanhaiguan can fully confirm that it is solid, because there is Ningyuan confronting Jiannu in the front, Santunying, Huxue City, Funingwei, Yongping Mansion as the rear, and the Tianjin Wei garrison next, there will be no enemy. Opportunity to attack Shanhaiguan.

Besides, there was a camp of the Longwu Navy in the water city of Shanhaiguan, and under normal circumstances there was a constant flow of warships and merchant ships. Huang Han had to personally lead the guards to work in the former Liaodong Economic Strategy Yamen to perform his duties as a general who conquered captives.

Therefore, it is enough to station a battalion in Guancheng, and the leader is Huang Feng, one of the trustworthy brothers from Jiulitai Village. He is Huang Yizhou's apprentice and nephew of the family.

He has already received a letter from Shizhu, knowing that Qin Yuyi will lead some female soldiers home in a few days, Huang Han will expand the female soldiers into a battalion when Huang Han personally leads the troops to the front line, and Qin Yuyi will be in charge of Shanhaiguan.

The defense line of Jizhen, including Shanhaiguan, was completely entrusted to his father, Huang Yizhou. The six battalions were fully equipped with [-] men, and the guard army now had more than [-] men in training.

In the future, five guards will be trained, the number of which will not be less than 10. With the strength of more than [-] main soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, and the Great Wall to rely on, [-] horses will make them fail. return.

Denglai has regained its vitality, and there are also two battalions stationed there. The generals Yang Guoen and Gao Zhongyi immediately restored two Denglai guards and trained more than [-] guards to serve them.

Jinzhou's defense line must ensure the strength of the third battalion. Song Pengfei has been here for many years and can't move at this time. In addition to his part-time job as the commander of the first battalion, there are two battalion officers, Liu Sihai and Yang Gu.

There are four battalions to guard Ningyuan's defense line no matter what, the battalion of Hanzi, Yang Danian, Yuan Siming, and Wang Zhicheng must do their part, and of course the leader is Hanzi.

Seventeen army battalions have been removed from the defense, and now there are only eight battalions that can attack on the move, plus five battalions of marines, there are only thirteen battalions of 5 troops.

Jiannu had no navy. The Longwu Navy took over the islands of Dongjiang Town and merged the water camp of Dongjiang Town. The main task was to send the navy and marines to train the islanders of Dongjiang Town to become the guard army. They transported a lot of food and reorganized , Recruited thousands of sailors.

The mobile Eighth Battalion Army is now training near Shanhaiguan and Jizhen. The main generals are Huang Long, Mao Chenglu, Sang Yu, Zhang Yang, Wang Zhanpeng, Zheng Xuewei, Fang Liandong, and Wang Gensheng. Xiao Le, Pi Xiaohu, Zeng Xiangxiang, Yu Fei.

Jiannu selected all Niulu Ba Yala to form Gebush Xianchaoha, which was the predecessor of the Qing Vanguard Battalion. Huang Han also adopted the method of mobilizing cavalry officers to form the Guard Battalion. After the news was released, all the battalions became a sensation. , Every non-commissioned officer and grassroots officer actively signed up for selection.

The non-commissioned officers of the "Red Banner Army" have their own characteristics. Basically, they are the lowest-level officers like small flag officers in the battalion. Even if they are infantry small flag officers, they also have horses as standard equipment.

Of course, with a war horse, you will practice hard riding and fighting, so not only many cold-weapon warriors and warriors sign up, but too many first-level shooters are also actively fighting for it.

Selected non-commissioned officers do not need to conduct skill competitions, because the "Red Banner Army" has formed a system. Non-commissioned officers are assessed three times a year.

There is nothing to say about the combat skills of the non-commissioned officers, and political considerations are put first. The method recommended by the town governor was used for selection. It took only three days, and the personal guard formed by five hundred and 560 non-commissioned officers was born.
