After Sun Yingyuan led the cavalry battalion back to Fengyang, Zhu Cihong summoned all the generals above the general of the Yongwei battalion in the Fengtian Hall of the imperial city and held a major military meeting.

In the main hall, a burst of laughter came, and all the generals surrounded Sun Yingyuan and other cavalry generals, listening to them tell the story of the pursuit of the Liukou that day.

Huang Degong said enviously: "Old Sun, this time it's cheaper for you, and you, Li Shaoyou, you kid has made great contributions again!" ”

"It's all commanded by General Sun!" Li Shaoyou touched his head and laughed twice.

Gu Wei of the Ministry of Military Justice who was standing alone on the side of the main hall suddenly shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" ”

Everyone immediately dispersed, and with the sound of a nail leaf on their bodies, everyone had already lined up and solemnly saluted Zhu Cihong: "The last general will meet His Highness!" ”

Zhu Cihong stood at the top of the hall, raised his hand and said, "Xing!" ”

Amid the sound of armor, the generals stood up straight, waiting for the crown prince to speak.

Zhu Cihong was very satisfied with the performance of the generals, since the establishment of the Ministry of Military Justice, these generals have become more and more regular, he smiled and nodded at everyone in the hall, and sat on the dragon seat with a smile, the previous dragon seat had long been burned by thieves, which was rebuilt by Zhu Dadian in accordance with the prince's regulations.

As Zhu Cihong sat down, Sun Yingyuan was the first to come out and report to everyone about the first battle of the Liukou.

Zhu Cihong listened very carefully and said: "General Sun has fought well, all the meritorious soldiers and soldiers who have made mistakes must be verified one by one, and the rewards and punishments must be fair!" ”

All the generals shouted in unison: "Your Highness is wise! ”

Zhu Cihong said again: "This time to the south, the palace intends to expand the army, and at the same time wants to make adjustments to the Yongwei battalion, I don't know what the generals think?" ”

As soon as Zhu Cihong's words fell, Wu Zhong and Qiu Zhizhong beside him held a large stack of documents and handed them out to the generals.

Zhu Cihong continued: "The above is the reform charter of the Yongwei Battalion drawn up by the palace, and the new establishment, troop configuration and number of people are explained, everyone take a look!" ”

The generals took the document and looked at it carefully, only to see that the establishment of the troops was densely written on it:

The Yongwei Battalion was renamed the Tianwu Army, with the team as the basic unit, with a total of ten people in a team, and one captain and one deputy captain.

The three teams are one sentry, the commander is the chief of the sentry, one director and one deputy, and there are five food teams, a total of 37 people.

Three sentinels are one hundred, and the chief is one hundred; There is one principal and one deputy, and there are 10 members of the night team and five medical teams, making a total of 128 people.

Three hundred are a battalion, and the commander is the battalion commander; There are one principal and one deputy, and several sergeants from the Judge Advocate General's Department, totaling 400 people.

Three battalions are a regiment, and the commander is the regimental commander; In addition, there is an artillery brigade, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the regiment and does not collect at night, and the regiment has a general escort team, totaling more than 1,300 people.

Three regiments are a brigade, and the commander is the brigade commander; In addition, there is a cavalry regiment directly under the brigade with 1,000 people, and the brigade directly under the brigade has a total of 5,000 people.

The Tianwu Army consists of 15,000 men in three brigades, 300 people in Longxiang Yebu under one army, 1,000 people in the heavy artillery regiment directly under one army, and 3,000 people in the reinforced cavalry regiment directly under one army.

Each team is responsible for investigating intelligence, conveying military orders, and storing documents; Zanhua is responsible for the counselor military aircraft, giving advice to the generals, and is the staff officer of later generations, and the praise painting is temporarily served by the regiment commanders below the brigades.

The food team will not only be responsible for cooking, but also responsible for escorting the grain and grass of the various posts, so that the logistics capacity of the whole army will be greatly enhanced.

There is no number in the Tianwu Army, and the whole army is uniformly numbered, such as the Royal First Brigade, the Royal Second Brigade, the Royal Third Brigade, the Royal Heavy Artillery Regiment, and the Royal Cavalry Regiment......

Zhu Cihong's purpose in doing this was to prevent the soldiers from feeling like private troops, only knowing that there were generals, not the imperial court, and he didn't want to see the matter of soldiers surrounding Tianmen for a second time.

If you have to have a number and a boss's faith, it is Tianwu Army, that is himself, the crown prince, the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Cihong will not give all the army to Huang Degong to command alone, he knows very well that no matter how loyal a courtier is, when the power in his hands reaches a certain level, his mood will also change, most of the powerful ministers in history are like this, and even more so in the late Ming Dynasty.

The way to control lies in balance, which is very important, so every time Zhu Cihong sends troops, he will let Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan take turns to lead the troops, and will not let one of them dominate and be difficult to control.

In Zhu Cihong's plan, the Tianwu Army will continue to expand, and divisions will be set up above the brigade level, and a huge logistical baggage force will be set up in addition to the combat units, so as to facilitate long-distance battles in the future.

Zhu Cihong swept to the crowd: "The commanders at all levels are equally divided into the main and deputy, the main rank is dead, the deputy level is on top, the deputy level is dead, and the commander of the first combat unit at the lower level continues to be on top!" ”

Everyone nodded one after another, the new establishment is indeed much better than the previous one, the Tianwu Army can not only use Bai as a combat unit, but also a regiment as a combat unit, the larger the combat unit, the more complete the troops.

Huang Degong was a little puzzled and said, "Your Highness, is the number of the Yongwei Battalion going to be cancelled?" ”

The generals have a deep affection for the Yongwei Battalion, and the reputation of the Yongwei Battalion is what they have made all the way, and it will be difficult for them to accept it if the number is removed.

Zhu Cihong said without thinking: "The name of the Yongwei Battalion is played by everyone together, and the palace will naturally not give it up, the palace plans to change the name of the East Palace Guard Battalion to the Yongwei Battalion, and select the veterans who are good at fighting in the original Yongwei Battalion to join, what do you think?" ”

Sun Yingyuan bowed down and said: "Your Highness is the backbone of our family, and the veterans of the Yongwei Battalion can protect Your Highness, which is naturally the best arrangement!" ”

Huang Degong felt that it was also reasonable, and said randomly: "The last general also agrees!" ”

All the generals said in unison: "The last general agrees!" ”

"Since everyone agrees, let's appoint the commanders of each brigade of the Tianwu Army!" Zhu Cihong nodded and handed the appointment letter in his hand to Gu Wei, the minister of the Ministry of Military Justice beside him.

Gu Wei bowed down and took the letter of appointment, opened it to everyone, and said in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has decreed!" ”

A nail leaf roared, and the generals looked serious, and they knelt down on one knee to receive the order.

Gu Weilang said: "Order! Huang Degong is the commander of the Royal First Brigade of the Tianwu Army, Sun Yingyuan is the commander of the Royal Second Brigade, Zhou Yuji is the commander of the Royal Third Brigade, Yang Qili is the commander of the Royal Heavy Artillery Regiment, Wan Junjie is the commander of the Royal Heavy Artillery Regiment, and Li Shaoyou is the commander of the Royal Cavalry Regiment! ”

"The Last General's Order!" Several people led the order in unison.

Zhu Cihong nodded, and said loudly: "The purpose of the Tianwu Army: to inherit the way of heaven, to conform to the hearts of the people, to level the world, and to clarify the universe!" Love the people, strict military regulations, serve the country loyally, and take the lead bravely! Don't be afraid of death, don't be greedy for money, order and prohibit, life and death are of the same heart! ”

"Life and death are of the same heart!" The blood of the generals boiled when they listened, and they shouted in unison, and at the same time they were faintly excited in their hearts, the crown prince is going to lead the Tianwu Army to pacify the world!

Zhu Cihong looked at the energetic generals, and his heart was also agitated, now that the troop establishment has been solved, the next step is to start solving the problem of the source of troops, Huaixi has always sent strong troops, and Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang took Huaixi 24 generals from Fengyang to fight the world.
