"The infantry battalion currently has 100 soldiers, the gun battalion has 100 men, the arrow team has the smallest number, only 60 men, and the supply battalion has 150 seven men, and the total strength is 310 seven men!"

"In addition to the old brothers, there are 390 Oroqen people and 810 strong men from various ethnic groups. If we calculate, our available troops are [-] or three. 【】There are too many people, and the team is bound to move. Each battalion The establishment must also be changed, and the most important thing to call everyone today is to reorganize the existing troops."

"What kind of reform is President Qian going to make?"

Hu Wang, Wu Si and others have no objection to the reorganization of the team. With the territory and manpower, of course there is nothing wrong with readjusting.They are eager to have several opportunities to reorganize the team in the future, because reorganization means more and more available troops and stronger strength.

When Qi Zhuang came, he also pulled Wuer Leng over, and was taken aback when he heard that Zhao Qiang included his clansmen, but he was not dissatisfied, and only lifted his body slightly.

"Don't worry, let's first hear from Wei Ji what good things we got from the Raksha people."

Zhao Qiang signaled Wu Si to sit down, glanced at Wei Ji who was standing next to Hu Wang, and said with a smile, "Tell the battalion officers to make them happy too."

Ever since Wei Ji was notified to go to the meeting room for discussion, he was very happy in his heart, but when he came in, he behaved very cautiously, he didn't even dare to sit in the seat set there.I was afraid that I might mishandle it, and let Zhao Qiang and the battalion officers do something bad to me.

"Mr. Qian, several battalion officers!"

Wei Ji took a step forward cautiously, raised his hand and saluted everyone: "There are quite a lot of Raksha people's things in the castle, and the young one brought a dozen or so people to count them all night, and I only figured them out this morning. Report to Qian Zong and several battalion officers to know." After speaking, he opened the account book in his hand and read softly: "There are 380 shi of rice noodles, more than 100 shi of miscellaneous grains, 66 horses, more than 600 large animals such as cattle and sheep, and other new ones. There are 190 Luocha firearms, enough gunpowder, and [-] sabers in addition to that."

After reading this, Wei Ji glanced at Zhao Qiang with some excitement, and continued: "There are countless ginseng medicinal materials, more than 700 pieces of various furs, more than 1000 taels of gold, 6000 taels of silver, and more than a hundred pieces of utensils made of gold and silver. , I can’t estimate it in a short time. I have made a small calculation, if these things are converted into grain, it can be enough for us to eat for more than ten years.”

Wu Si stuck out his tongue: "Good guy, I didn't expect such a small castle to hide so many things."

Hu Wang smiled and said: "It's nothing unusual. The Raksha people are a group of robbers. They have robbed and slaughtered so many tribes for so many years. Can they have less things in their hands? This is still a small stronghold, and it would be even worse if it was a bigger city gone."

Qi Zhuang laughed and said, "If we have a strong army and strong horses, we can rob the Rakshasa people one by one, wouldn't we be rich like an enemy?"

"Hehe, it's not..."

Zhao Qiang coughed lightly, calmed everyone down, and said, "Right now, food and weapons are the lifeblood of our survival. Gold and silver are useless. I plan to use these gold and silver to buy horses and food from various tribes, and recruit some soldiers. Come, expand our strength."

Hu Wang nodded when he heard the words: "Mr. Qian is very considerate. It is best to use these gold and silver to recruit soldiers, otherwise the brothers will be dazzled."

Wu Si also deeply agrees: "Gold and silver things are the most depressing, and Qian Zong can arrange it like this, it's the best."

Qi Zhuang and Guo Fei also readily agreed to Zhao Qiang's arrangement.Seeing that they agreed with his arrangement, Zhao Qiang was a little relieved. After hearing the figures reported by Wei Ji at that time, he was also a little surprised, so he worried that Wu Si and Qi Zhuang would have the idea of ​​dividing the gold and silver. Now, he was too worried Yes, these people still have some knowledge.

After unifying everyone's opinions, Zhao Qiang began to talk about the plan he had thought up for expanding the army and allocating personnel to each battalion.

According to Zhao Qiang's vision, the existing troops were reorganized into four battalions, namely the gun battalion, cavalry battalion, guard battalion, and supply battalion.The officers of each battalion were restored to the original military system of the Guanning Army. The battalion officer was a hundred households, the team leader was the general banner, and the corporal leader was a small banner. His Qianzong was also renamed Qianhu.There are 300 soldiers in each battalion, that is, there are two general banners under one hundred households, ten small banners under the general banner, and 15 soldiers in each small banner.

Wu Si will continue to be in charge of the hundred households of the gun camp, Lin Jiafeng and Zhao Guo will be in charge of the two general banners, and the outstanding performers of the original defense team will be in charge of the small banners.Thanks to the Russian musketeers and their stockpiles of musketeers, the battalion was at full strength with men and weapons.The original step battalion and the arrow team were all included in the gun battalion, and those who were insufficient were transferred from the supply battalion.

The hundred households of the cavalry battalion are headed by Qi Zhuang, and the two general banners are headed by Ma Long and Wu Fengqiu. In addition to Wu Jun who knows how to ride, some soldiers are selected from the Oroqen people and strong men of various ethnic groups. go in.

Hu Wang was in charge of guarding the [-] households of the battalion, Zuo Mingnan and Qian Lin were in charge of the two general banners, and the soldiers were from Oroqen and strong men of various ethnic groups.

Guo Fei served as the battalion officer of the supply camp. Since there were only more than 30 young men left for Guo Fei to command, the candidates for the general banner were undecided. Only three small banners were appointed, and they planned to add them in the future.

Because there are hundreds of women of various ethnic groups in the castle, and there is also a piece of family members of the Wu army in the north, Zhao Qiang asked Wei Ji to be the civil affairs officer, and he was selected as an assistant among these people, and was responsible for the management of these people.

Wei Ji was ecstatic to receive this appointment, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times, saying that he would live up to Qianhu's expectations.Zhao Qiang was not used to others kneeling down at every turn, but seeing Wei Ji insisted on doing so, he kowtowed three times, then helped him up with his own hands, and said a few words to make him work hard.

After Wei Ji got up, he gave Zhao Qiang a suggestion, that is to name this Raksha people's fortress, Zhao Qiang thought about it, and named the fortress "Shouyi City".

Wu Sangui's army was originally the Guanning Army of the Ming Dynasty, so Hu Wang and Wu Si had no objection to restoring the military system of the Guanning Army, but Guo Fei asked why he didn't directly mention the military name of the Great Zhou Army. The explanation given is that the current strength is still relatively weak, and the main enemy is the Raksha people. When the territory grows in the future, when the army is strong and strong and ready to go south to deal with the Qing army, then the banner of the Great Zhou will be displayed. Tens of thousands of Wu Jun's young and strong people were moved and responded enthusiastically.

Guo Fei also just said casually, seeing what Zhao Qiang said, he immediately agreed, and everyone reorganized according to Zhao Qiang's distribution.

When Wei Ji was about to leave, Zhao Qiang called him and told him to gather those Rakshasa women as soon as possible, so that they could no longer live in their original residence, and dictated the military prostitute system to him.After Wei Ji heard it, he understood it, and happily went down to execute it.

After everyone left, Zhao Qiang walked up to Wu Erlen who was in a daze, and said softly: "The patriarch has never heard the saying that it is a blessing in disguise."

Ur said in a dazed voice, "What does Lord Qianhu mean?"

Zhao Qiang forcibly assigned his clansmen to his newly built camp without his consent, which made Wu Erleng very dissatisfied, but he was a knife and I was a fish. Facing the powerful Zhao Qiang, Wuerleng had no way to come out to oppose this matter .Hearing that the five battalion leaders couldn't even get a general flag, they couldn't help feeling even more disappointed, secretly thinking about how to tell the clansmen about this matter.

"I promised the patriarch that after taking the fort, I will give your people a big thank you."

Zhao Qiang sat down beside Wu Erleng slowly, and tapped his index finger: "What Zhao said is true, so I decided to give the patriarch 100 taels of gold and 300 taels of silver. In addition, I will give you [-] taels of grain and [-] taels of cattle and sheep." Heads, ginseng and medicinal materials are also given, I wonder if the patriarch is satisfied."

Leaving aside cattle, sheep, food, and medicinal materials, 100 taels of gold and 300 taels of silver alone are a considerable amount of wealth. Wuer was stunned to think that Zhao Qiang would be so generous. Standing up, he said excitedly, "Thank you, Lord Qianhu."

"Hey, this is what you deserve, why thank me."

The smile on Zhao Qiang's face remained the same, he was very satisfied with Wu'er's stunned reaction, man, as long as he knows what he likes, it's not difficult to deal with.

The conversation changed, but he said: "However, the patriarch has also arrived. Right now, I have a new fifth battalion, but there are not enough troops. I said that I am recruiting troops, but we are all Han Chinese. We are not familiar with the place here, and we don't know how to deal with it. So the matter of recruiting troops and horses is still very difficult. If the Raksha people make a big counterattack, and I have enough troops to deal with it, the consequences are really unimaginable, alas."

If the Raksha people really came to attack, and Zhao Qiang and the others couldn't defend, what would happen to the Oroqen people who participated in the massacre of the Raksha people? Wu Erling naturally understood, his face changed, and he lost his voice: "What should I do? ?”

Zhao Qiang glanced slowly at Wu Er, and said in a deep voice: "There is no way, right now I have a big fortune to give to the patriarch, I don't know if the patriarch has the guts to do it!"

Wu Ersi said without hesitation: "Master Qianhu, please tell me! But if the subordinates can do it, they must do it for Qianhu!"

"I heard that there are many Oroqen people scattered outside the customs. Yafaha Oroqen alone has eight Zuolings. In addition, there are many Oroqen people who have been incorporated into the Eight Banners. The total number should be tens of thousands. So I would like to invite The patriarch can go to the various tribes and persuade the leaders for me to let them bring their families north to my Shouyi City. If they are not willing to send their families to vote, the patriarch can also persuade their young and strong men with gold and silver, or hire them. Or buy, no matter what means, as long as you can recruit people for me."

"This"

Wuer didn't expect that Zhao Qiang would ask him to persuade other leaders of the Oroqen people, and subconsciously shook his head: "This is absolutely impossible. All the leaders are under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. Let them go to Beitou. It is extremely difficult to do. If the subordinates go, they may be tied up and sent to the official by them."

"The patriarch should be worried. You are here too. The Raksha people are totally vulnerable. Let them come to make a fortune. You just need to tell them the truth and promise a lot of money. These people will definitely come."

Zhao Qiang didn't care whether Wu'er Leng was in danger or not, and said with some temptation: "Every time the patriarch brings an Oroqen man, I will pay the patriarch two taels of silver, and if he brings ten people, he will get an extra tael of gold. If you vote, you will be rewarded with ten taels of gold, one hundred taels of silver, fifty heads of cattle and sheep, thirty shi of grain, and ten Rakshasa women. Of course, the patriarch does not want Rakshasa women, and the patriarchs of the women of all ethnic groups can choose by themselves."

"Master Qianhu's words are serious!"

Hearing Zhao Qiang's great reward, Uer Leng's heart was moved. He had lived for a long time, but he had never seen so much wealth, cattle and sheep, women, gold, and silver. Wu Er Leng's heart was beating endlessly. As long as you are brave enough, those clansmen may not fail to vote.

"Of course it is!"

Seeing Zhao Qiang's resolute look, Wu'er hesitated for a few seconds, gritted his teeth and said, "This subordinate is willing to serve Qianhu, and tomorrow I will go south to recruit people for Lord Qianhu!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Qiang was overjoyed when he heard the words, he didn't care about gold and silver wealth, and he didn't care about women's food. What he cared about was soldiers and horses. With soldiers and horses, those things could be snatched from Russia at any time.

"Then I will wait for the patriarch's good news!"
