Chapter 62: Collectively known as the Hua Department, reorganize the army

Yang Minghe was an immigrant recruited by Liu Sheng from Xingji. During the more than ten days that Liu Sheng was away, he was promoted to deputy by Liu Dachuan because of his outstanding performance and made several good suggestions for the camp.

After Liu Sheng came back, he had a talk with this man and felt that Yang Minghe was outstanding among his subordinates in terms of knowledge and talent. It was the right time to recruit people, so he promoted him to general manager.

At this time, after listening to Yang Minghe's suggestion, he also felt that it made sense.

He thought for a while and said: "Then let's all call them 'Hua Bu', and I will be the leader of Hua Bu.

Of course, in order not to attract the attention of the Ming Dynasty officials, the Ming Dynasty still called Liujiazhai to the outside world, making the Ming Dynasty officials think that we were just grass bandits in the mountains.

When the uprising officially breaks out in the future and Tianmu Mountain is raised, the banner with the word "Hua" will be raised again. "

Yang Minghe saw that Liu Sheng had a special liking for the word "Hua" and knew that if Liu Sheng founded the country in the future, he would probably follow the example of Yuan and Ming Dynasty and call it "Dahua".

So he flattered me and said, "The leader is wise."

Wang Kesheng, the only scholar on the side, took a deep look at Yang Minghe and thought to himself: This man has certain talents and knowledge, and he is also good at flattering others. It seems that he will be an important competitor of mine in the future.I have to make more achievements to make the leader value me more.

Liu Sheng didn't know that the two scholars in the general manager had already developed a sense of competition, and then talked about reorganizing the army.

"I plan to divide the army into four parts. The first part will be the leader's pro-army, and some of the elite members of the current rebel army will be selected as the backbone. Then, personnel will be selected from young and strong men who are interested in joining the army. The number of soldiers is tentatively set at 120.

The second part is the standing army, which uses the existing rebels as the backbone and selects personnel from young people who intend to join the army to supplement it to 400 people.

The third part is the fishing and hunting group, which will be expanded into a brigade with the current hunting team and fishing team as the backbone. The hunting brigade is tentatively designated as 100 people, and the fishing brigade is tentatively designated as 200 people.

The fourth part is the Mingyong Regiment. All men up to the age of 40, who are not included in the first three parts, and who are not craftsmen, are all Mingyong.

Min Yong is not responsible for combat missions in normal times, but in non-rainy or snowy weather, he is required to train for one hour every morning.

Although young women aged 40 and above do not belong to the Civil War Corps, they still need to train for half an hour every morning unless there are special circumstances.

This is probably how the army will be organized after reorganization. Do you have any opinions? "

During the last question, Liu Sheng looked at Red Lady and several other former rebel leaders.

Yang Heqing shook his head and said, "I have no objection."

Zhang Guying and Wen You also expressed no objection.

The red lady frowned slightly and said, "Where is the female hero team? Should we just disband?"

Liu Sheng really ignored the problem, thought for a while and said: "Let the female elite team be renamed the female training team. The number of soldiers is tentatively set at fifty, and it will still be under your jurisdiction. But when filling the vacancies, the principle of voluntariness must be guaranteed.

In terms of tasks, one is to supervise the morning training and evening classes for young women, and the other is to supervise the security work of the two camps in North America and Liujiazhai. "

After listening, the red lady couldn't help but ask: "I know the morning training, but what is the evening class?"

Liu Shengdao: "When both sides stabilize, I plan to build a school for children under the age of 16 to enroll.

At the same time, night schools were established in the military and civilians, so that everyone could spend part of their night time reading and learning arithmetic. "

Hearing this, not to mention the Red Lady, Yang Heqing and others, even the two scholars Wang Kesheng and Yang Minghe were shocked.

After coming back to her senses, the red lady couldn't help but ask: "Do you want everyone to be literate?"

"Yes."

"How is this possible?" Yang Minghe couldn't help but murmured, and then quickly stood up and clasped his fists: "Forgive me, leader, but what I mean is that this matter is too difficult, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve results."

Liu Sheng motioned for him to sit down and said: "Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing to do so. We don't have too many people now, and we are under semi-military control. This matter is actually relatively easy to handle."

You don’t have to think too much. I will take care of the school and night school matters myself when other things are sorted out. "

After hearing this, a few people didn't raise any objections even though they still didn't think Liu Sheng could get the job done.

Liu Sheng continued: "Let's go on to talk about the specific organization of the army. The Civil War Corps is still organized according to the current organization, that is, five people per team, ten people per ten, five ten per team, and four teams per group.

The commander also serves as the first corps commander of his subordinates, the captain also serves as the first commander of his subordinates, and so on.The fishing and hunting group has the same organization as the civilian brave group, but it is temporarily divided into one hunting brigade and two fishing brigade.

In the establishment of the standing army, the two levels of Shiwu and Wu remained unchanged, and later changed to a system of three and three.Three teams constitute one team, and three teams constitute one sentry. Each sentry is equipped with an additional team of soldiers, under the direct jurisdiction of the sentry officer.

In this way, the standing army can be tentatively divided into four sentries: Hong Niangzi, Yang Heqing, Zhang Guying, Wen You, and each of you leads one sentry.

After completing the training here, Hong Niangzi was stationed at Dashui Pingzhai, Yang Heqing was stationed at Xizumaling, Wenyou was stationed at Zushiding, and Zhang Guying was stationed at Riverside Camp.

In addition, I personally serve as the commander of the standing army, and the red lady serves as the deputy commander. Together, they are responsible for the selection and training of the soldiers of the standing army.

As for the leader's personal army, I am fully responsible for its formation, training, and command.Are you guys okay? "

Everyone knew that military power was the core of the leader Liu Sheng's power, and they had no intention of competing with Liu Sheng for power, so they all said together: "No problem."

Liu Sheng smiled and said: "The general arrangements for land reclamation and army reorganization have been decided. Next, we will first select the soldiers needed by the pro-army, standing army, and fishing and hunting groups, and then discuss the arrangements for land reclamation. Specific issues···"

For the next five days, Liu Sheng spent most of his time on soldier selection and army training.

He first selected 10 people with the best horsemanship skills from the rebel elite to form the second cavalry of the pro-army army.

Then 30 rebel infantrymen who were outstanding in all aspects were selected, 40 more were selected from the young refugees, 27 were selected from the 10 archers of Zhang Ao and Li Niu, plus the original 20 armored soldiers The soldiers formed a personal army of 20 cavalry and 100 infantry.

The pro-army army will also have the functions of a teaching group and an officer training group, so it is designated as a two-tenth team with a total of six captains.

The cavalry captain is Wang Laowu, and the five infantry captains are Peng Youyi, Liu Erhe, Zheng Erli, Huang Gan, and Zhang Ao.

As for the standing army, Liu Sheng selected more than 100 young and strong men to add to the army, and then took the red lady and four other people to conduct basic formation and weapon use training for the 400 infantry.

Because Liu Sheng has not yet made muskets, the standing army still uses swords, bows, arrows, and spears as weapons for the time being.

As for the fishing and hunting group, after Liu Sheng appointed Shen Zhaoxian as the hunting brigade captain and Liu Changhe and Hu Dongliu as the first and second fishing brigade captains respectively, he handed over the personnel selection and training to the three of them.

But he also set the selection criteria for the three people, which was to give priority to those with hunting and fishing experience.

Although the selection and training of soldiers were important, Liu Sheng did not leave the matter of reclamation and farming aside.

Under Liu Sheng's instructions, Guo Sanhai took more than 1000 young people to the river every day to cut trees, reclaim wasteland, and build riverside camps.

In Huachu Camp (formerly Camp No. [-]), with the addition of several thousand people, the speed of logging, reclamation, and land reclamation has greatly increased, with dozens of acres of land being reclaimed every day.

However, Liu Sheng's most concerned about the settlement affairs is not how many acres of land are added every day, but the cultivation of seedlings...
"Master, please see, these sweet potato seedlings were cultivated by us according to the method you taught. Look at the branches and leaves, they are ready to be cut and transplanted into the fields."

In front of a sweet potato seedling field, veteran farmer He Guiyou nervously explained the situation to Liu Sheng.

Sweet potato seedling cultivation was a task Liu Sheng entrusted to He Guiyou when the fields were first cultivated in Huachuying.

At the beginning, he compared the sweet potato planting technical information of later generations and explained the seedling raising, planting and other planting procedures to He Guiyou and other veteran farmers several times, until He Guiyou and others expressed their understanding.

As for sweet potato seeds, they are one of the materials he has hoarded for the end of the world. They are all high-quality seed potatoes selected in future generations.

However, farming is something that relies more on experience. Therefore, even if he has the information in hand, Liu Sheng cannot guarantee that the sweet potato seedlings will be successful this time.

At this time, after listening to He Guiyou's words, he walked into the field to check.

When he found that the potato seedlings had grown to [-] to [-] centimeters, each plant had six to eight leaves, which were the same as the description in the information, Liu Sheng smiled and nodded and said, "You can cut the seedlings and transplant them."

Seeing that Liu Sheng was satisfied, He Guiyou breathed a sigh of relief, and then opened his mouth to speak again.

Liu Sheng saw this and asked, "Uncle He has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

He Guiyou no longer hesitated and said boldly: "Chief, we have never grown these sweet potatoes before. Can we really produce a thousand catties per acre?"

This was actually not the first time He Guiyou asked this. He knew that asking this might annoy Liu Sheng, so he hesitated before.

But as an old farmer, he was really doubtful about this matter, even though he had already completed the cultivation of sweet potato seedlings by himself.
