Chapter 180 The rebels have upgraded again!Invest early

Because someone led troops to suppress the bandits, the military meeting of the Yibu South Road Rebels was not held until the afternoon.

Not only the battalion-level generals of the third regiment attended the meeting, but some sentry-level generals were also notified and came to attend the meeting.

After the meeting started, Yang Heqing stood up directly with Liu Sheng's military order and said: "Now let's ask the regimental military and political officers to recite the commander's military order!"

After speaking, the general ordered the document to be handed over to Cheng Chan.

The dozens of battalion sentry-level generals who attended the meeting stood up immediately, holding their heads high and chests high, making a fist with their right hand and placing it on their left chest, their faces full of solemnity!

"General Xinghua issued an order on March 14, the [-]th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty!

Yang Heqing, the former commander of the third regiment, is hereby appointed as the commander of the third brigade. Zhang Ao, the former deputy commander of the third regiment, is appointed as the brigade deputy of the third brigade. Cheng Song, the former military and political officer of the third regiment, is appointed as the military and political officer of the third brigade. The former general officer of the third regiment is hereby appointed. As the main backbone, establish the third brigade of the standing army..."

This military order is quite long, and the clear and clear voice continues.

But many of the battalion sentry-level generals below couldn't help showing excitement and joy.

Because everyone understands that Weibu is going to expand its army again!

The upper limit of the standing army establishment has been raised from the regiment level to the brigade level, which means that most of them will be promoted, and they can command more troops and horses, and even have the opportunity to lead the army alone in combat!

This also means that they will have more opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future!
After listening carefully, the generals realized that this yellow-headed military order was more than just promoting the third regiment to the third brigade.

The original battalion and regiment level establishments have also changed.

Previously, a standing army battalion had six posts, each with 100 men, for a total of 600 men.

In this organizational reform of the rebel army, the sixth post, which was originally called the "logistics support post", was renamed the "post directly under the battalion headquarters", or "battalion headquarters" for short.

The battalion headquarters has: 30 people from the reconnaissance team, 30 people from the gendarmerie, 30 people from the medical team, and 30 people from the guard team.

There is also a service team of 14 people, including one logistics officer and one logistics clerk, and one confidential officer and one clerk.

There are 13 more people in the flag team.

A total of 147 people.

In addition, because in a relatively fierce battle, if a battalion-level general is seriously injured or even killed, the battalion level and a sentry will lose command personnel at the same time.

Therefore, generals at the battalion, regiment, and brigade levels no longer serve as commanders of the next-level organization.

This change can also train more generals to facilitate the expansion of the Yibu Rebel Army in the future.

Therefore, one battalion and three battalion-level generals in the standing army now total 650 people!
A regiment of the standing army is composed of five battalions: three combat battalions, one baggage battalion, and one battalion directly under the regiment (regiment headquarters).

The organization of the regiment has also been changed.

The regiment headquarters is equipped with: guard posts, artillery posts, reconnaissance posts, gendarme posts, health posts, and service posts.

The first five outposts each have 100 people, and the service outpost has 105 people.

The service post has 2 service teams with a total of 60 people, and a flag team with 39 people, including 1 logistics officer, 6 confidential officer, and [-] clerks.

Therefore, there are a total of 605 people in the regiment headquarters.

Counting three regiment-level generals, the total regiment actually numbered 3208 people!
Each brigade has three regiments, all of which are combat regiments (because each regiment has its own supply camp).

The third regiment is a reinforcement regiment and is also a regiment directly under the brigade (brigade headquarters).

The brigade headquarters has: two combat battalions, one each for a guard battalion, an artillery battalion, a cavalry battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, and a transport battalion.

There is also a half health camp (three posts) and a half military police camp (three posts).

Finally there is a service camp.

The battalion consists of: 100 service posts, 120 flag posts, one logistics officer and adjutant, one confidential officer and adjutant, and 20 clerks, totaling 244 people.

Therefore, the brigade headquarters (reinforcement regiment) actually has 5447 people!
There are a total of 11863 people in the whole brigade! (can be conveniently calculated based on 12000 people)
After Yang Heqing finished reciting the military order document, he said: "Now, I will announce the appointment of the generals of the third brigade by the Generalissimo's Office!"

After previous battles, Yang Heqing and others would report their military exploits to the Military Affairs Hall, so Liu Sheng had some understanding of the performance of the third regiment and the civilian brave battalions in the battle.

Although the military order asked Yang Heqing and others to form the third brigade, in fact, the generals at the regimental and battalion levels of the third brigade were directly appointed by Liu Sheng through the Military Affairs Hall.

Only the fourth-level officers of the sentry team can be directly appointed by the brigade headquarters.But you also have to write a relevant report and submit it to the Military Affairs Hall.

The Military Affairs Hall has the right to deny the appointment of an officer in the brigade, but generally speaking, the Military Affairs Hall will not interfere in this to ensure that the brigade generals have certain authority in the army.

Soon, Yang Heqing announced Liu Sheng's appointment of regimental-level generals to the third brigade.

The commander of the first regiment, Zhang Shijie, the regiment deputy Li Lei, and the regiment political officer talked about the runner-up.

The second regiment commander Lin Youhui, regiment deputy Du Feng, and regiment military and political officer Gao Feng.

The third regiment commander Tang Yu, regiment deputy Li Yong, and regiment military and political officer Su Muqiu.

All of them were selected from the former third regiment battalion sentry-level generals with outstanding military exploits or hard work.

Then, Yang Heqing began to read out the appointments of battalion-level generals.

The remaining sentry-level generals of the standing army who attended the meeting will be promoted to battalion-level generals, but there are also a few civilian battalion-level generals who will be directly transferred to the standing army battalion-level generals.

Anyone present or not will receive a formal letter of appointment issued by the Military Affairs Hall afterwards.

As for junior officers at the sentry level, there is no appointment letter. There are only promotion records in the relevant files at the brigade headquarters and the Military Affairs Hall.

The original Third Regiment of the Standing Army only had 3000 people. This time it was expanded to the Third Brigade, which will increase to 11863 people, which means that 8863 people will be absorbed from various civilian camps!
Previously, Yang Heqing was in charge of 20 civilian warrior battalions, with a total of only 12000 civilian warriors, which means that more than two-thirds of the civilian warriors will be converted into standing armies!

This time, there was much less courage among the people.

Yang Heqing originally only wanted to organize two civilian warrior battalions in Xixian County, but now he has changed his mind and plans to organize at least four!

···
Wan Sanyuan pretended to be a salesman and came to the outside of Xixian City. He was hawking beside the city official road while looking at the rebel barracks a few hundred steps away.

He was not afraid that this behavior would be suspected by the rebels, because at this time there were many vendors hawking along the official road outside the city gate, and there were also many curious people watching the military camp.

The rebels can't drive away all these people.At this time, a group of civilians drove a donkey cart to buy vegetables from the city. They passed by the official road and chatted happily while walking. The content of the conversation suddenly attracted Wan Sanyuan's attention.

"Brother Ding, the standing army is expanding this time. I heard that we will recruit 8000 people from our Mingyong Battalion. You are also a veteran in the Huotou Army. You will definitely be selected, right?"

"Hey, it's hard to talk about this."

"If Brother Ding is really selected, don't forget to take care of your younger brother."

"With your cleverness, you might even be selected. I won't need to take care of you."

"It would be great if I could really join the standing army. I heard that the standing army's monthly salary of [-] taels is exactly the same..."

When the Mingyong team walked away, Wan Sanyuan couldn't help but pinch his chin and frown in thought.

'The standing army is the elite of the Yibu rebel army, right?Actually want to recruit 8000 to [-] people?This is a major expansion of the army! '

After coming back to his senses, Wan Sanyuan saw another rebel army posting something on the notice wall outside the city.

He listened with open ears for a while and then learned that the rebel army was recruiting more people.

Why is it called "additional fundraising"?
Because the rebel army only recruited two battalions of civilian warriors before and no more were recruited. I heard that many young men who volunteered for service were not selected.

But listening to this notice, it is obvious that they are preparing to recruit more people.

After hearing the general idea, Wan Sanyuan walked aside with a load of goods, his expression uncertain.

But it was in my heart that I was weighing and struggling over and over again.

Not many people in Xixian County know his real name Wan Sanyuan, but when it comes to his pseudonym "Wan Chaodeng", he is a household name in Xixian County.

Because he is one of the top three big bandits in Xi County in the past two years!

Before the Yibu rebels came, he had more than a thousand people under his command. Although he did not dare to attack the county town, he could attack some small villages. It was not a comfortable life.

As a result, when the Yibu rebels arrived, they not only captured the county seat of Xixian County, but also swept across the countryside!

Regardless of whether they are local bandits or gentry and landlords who form strongholds to protect themselves, as long as they do not submit to the Wei tribe, they will all be wiped out!
Wan Sanyuan didn't want to lose the comfortable life of being the boss, so he took the team and hid in a remote valley to see the wind direction.

It would be best to wait for the official army to defeat the Yibu rebels and withdraw, and then he can lead his team out to mess around.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a few days, many of his men escaped, and now there are less than a thousand people - half of them are old, weak, women and children!

Wan Sanyuan felt that he couldn't hide like this, so he took a risk and went to the county town in person to inquire about the news.

He used to be a salesman and had been to Xixian County many times. He was not afraid of his identity being discovered.

Unexpectedly, before entering the city, I would hear two such "important" news.

His face changed for a while, and then he glanced at the group of rebels walking by with their heads held high, and Wan Sanyuan finally made a decision.

'Looking at the appearance of this Yibu rebel army, it is likely that it will become a big thing. Now it has greatly expanded its army. If I lead the team to surrender and join in, I can be more or less a small officer.

If I'm still hiding in that valley, I'm afraid that before my men run away, someone will inform me and let the rebels come to suppress me. '

Thinking of this, Wan Sanyuan hurried back and led his team to join the army!

···
This time the rebel army was upgraded and expanded, Liu Sheng gave the first batch of six brigades to the standing army.

The first brigade commander Peng Youyi, brigade deputy Hu Dongliu, and brigade political officer An Jun were expanded with the original first and sixth regiments as the backbone.

The second brigade commander Wen You, brigade deputy Liu Erhe, and brigade political officer Wang Dalu were expanded with one battalion of the original second regiment and one battalion of the fourth regiment as the backbone.

The fourth brigade is commanded by Hong Niangzi, brigade deputy Zhang Guying, and brigade political officer Sun Qifai. It is expanded with the original two battalions of the fourth regiment and the two battalions of the second regiment as the backbone.

The fifth brigade was commanded by Mao Chengguo, brigade deputy Shi Jincai, and brigade political officer Wei Junjie, and was expanded with a battalion from the original eighth and seventh regiments as the backbone.

The Sixth Brigade was commanded by He Lianyue, Brigade Deputy Shen Zhaoxian, and Brigade Political Officer Wang Wei, and was expanded with the original Fifth Regiment as the backbone.

At the same time, the former Guards battalions were officially renamed "Guards" and also expanded.

The Huben Guards were expanded to a regiment, with Wang Xinwu (renamed Wang Laowu) as the regiment commander, Li Niu as the regiment deputy, and Li Guofan as the military and political officer.

The Shengjie Guard was expanded to a regiment, with Huang Jie as the regiment commander, He Baijing as the regiment deputy, and Liu Yushu as the military and political officer.

The Qiaoqi Guards were expanded to three battalions, with Shen Wandeng, Yang Kuiwu, and Li Dingguo serving as battalion commanders respectively.

Xunfengwei was expanded to a regiment, with Ma Jinshui as the regiment commander, Duan Lei, the former military and political officer of the Xiaoqi Battalion, transferred to the deputy regiment, and Ye Xinmin as the military and political officer.

By this calculation, excluding the Xunfengwei who specialize in military intelligence work, there will be 8366 members of the Guards!
If you include the Xunfengwei, there are 11574 people, which is not much different from the number of a standing army brigade.

The Guards may not seem to have many people, but the soldiers are all elite and brave soldiers selected from the standing army. Equipped with the best equipment of the Yi tribe, they have extremely strong combat effectiveness.

For example, the Huben Guards are divided into heavy armor battalions, musket battalions, artillery battalions, heavy transport battalions, and direct battalions (regiment headquarters).

Among them, the heavy armor battalions are all brave men. The minimum height is 1.7 meters and the minimum weight is 150 kilograms. They are all tall and strong men at this time!
When he goes into battle, he wears three layers of armor, from the inside to the outside, including chain mail, cloth armor, and zha armor. Plus an iron helmet with a face plate, it is the heavy arrow of the Qing army, and it is estimated that it can be shot within twenty steps. , choose the right angle to get hurt.

The weapons are shields and maces, which can break the enemy's heavy armor!
The musket battalion is equipped with fine cotton armor and flintlock guns. It has good defense against ordinary bows and arrows at a distance of forty or fifty steps, and it also has a certain defense against bird cannons at a distance of a hundred steps.

Soldiers in the artillery battalion are equipped with fine cloth armor and steel knives, and can fight with cold weapons at critical moments.

The baggage camp is equipped with fine cloth armor, shield cards, and steel knives, which can be used as knife players.

The battalion directly under the Huben Guards is not equipped with artillery posts and reconnaissance posts, but is replaced with two guard posts!

There are three guard posts in total, and Liu Sheng is prepared to equip them all with shields, fine cloth armor, steel knives and a single-shot short gun!
Liu Sheng believes that this equipment can be used to charge even when facing the enemy's heavily armored infantry!
Facing ordinary infantry, it is even more crushing!

　　[Talking about the chronology of the Wei tribe in the following text] We have not yet established a country and proclaimed ourselves emperor, so we will definitely still use the title of Great Next Year.After all, when a new dynasty is established in the future, the two or three hundred years of rule of the previous Ming Dynasty must be recognized, so that the territorial heritage can be legitimately inherited - this was the case in all ancient dynasties.
