At this time, Lin Ziran's henchmen put aside all their worries, and they all supported recruitment.

Soon, the recruits section under the Brigade Supervision and Training Office began to recruit soldiers everywhere, and almost every village in the five northern counties of Lianguan was recruited in order to recruit soldiers.

In the name of the regular army, a settling-in allowance of 10 Hengyuan will be paid when joining the army, and after joining the army, there will be food, drink, clothing, and military salary, which is not small for many poor children, and the recruitment of new soldiers is much smoother than before.

However, according to the prediction of the recruitment section, after this recruitment, the soldiers will basically be able to be recruited, and the rest will either have poor conditions or people who are unwilling to serve as soldiers and eat food.

That is to say, after completing the expansion of the army with 5,000 recruits this time, if you want to continue recruiting troops in the future, I am afraid you will have to go to other regions to recruit soldiers.

Along with the recruitment of soldiers, Lin Ziran also launched the enrollment of a new phase of the Suiying Academy.

Lin Ziran's camp school has been running for more than half a year, and it has been three phases of enrollment before, although there are only dozens of students in the first phase, but the enrollment in each subsequent phase has exceeded 100 people.

In the case of social recruitment, young people with a secondary school degree or higher are recruited, and in the military, those who have performed well and have been promoted to the rank of officer.

These two large groups of people will receive a three-month intensive training for officers, and the instructors who will give lectures are professional officers such as Wu Guanlin and Xu Zhongshu, in addition to recruiting several retired officers from the outside world for various reasons, and the content of the courses they study is actually very basic.

Even after three months of training, strictly speaking, they still do not have enough ability to command the troops, even if there is only one platoon.

However, the Supplementary Brigade was created from the ground up and lacked a large number of officers, whether senior or mid-ranking or junior.

In the early days, Lin Ziran dared to use even bandit and peasant officers, let alone these officers who had received three months of simple training.

After all, it is difficult for Lin Ziran to dig up a large number of officers with regular military academy education from the outside world on a large scale, and after such a long time, he can be regarded as a middle-level professional officer, and Lin Ziran only dug up Wu Guanlin, in addition to recruiting several low-level officers.

Moreover, this Wu Guanlin still came when there was nowhere else to go, and several other people also withdrew from the military for various reasons, as for those who wanted to really mix well and competent, Lin Ziran did not recruit anyone else.

After all, in these years, there have been frequent wars, and officers who have received a complete military education and have outstanding ability are all very popular talents, no matter where they are placed.

Some small feudal towns simply cannot recruit such talents.

Lin Ziran's supplementary brigade is actually not weak, but the time for his rise is too short, in Lianguan County, he is estimated to be a little well-known, but when it is enlarged to the entire Luo'an County, many people don't know who he Lin Ziran is.

He has no reputation, so he naturally has no advantage when recruiting people.

Large-scale solicitation is not possible, so you can only cultivate it yourself.

In the early stage, Lin Ziran did not expect any genius to appear, as long as he could simply train a group of low-level officers who could follow the step-by-step order, it was enough, as for the middle-level officers, they could only be selected from the low-level officers by adopting the method of survival of the fittest.

And several battalion commanders and the company commanders of several cavalry companies are different, all of them are henchmen, and at present, Scar, a hardcore henchman, was appointed by Lin Ziran as the company commander of the First Cavalry Company.

Don't look at the first cavalry company, there are only more than 150 cavalry, but they are already the only light cavalry that Lin Ziran can get up, which has always been relatively regular, and they are very important both on the battlefield and in other aspects.

For example, when he lost a battle and wanted to flee one day, Lin Ziran counted on escaping with this cavalry.

There are also the first infantry battalion and the second infantry battalion, these two infantry battalions are also one of the few two infantry units under Lin Ziran that can conduct regular operations, and Lin Ziran has been serving as the commander of the first infantry battalion for a long time, but now Lin Ziran has let Wu Dajiang serve as the commander of the first infantry battalion, and the commander of the second infantry battalion is Lu Sanzhen, who is also the first batch of peasant officers like Wu Dajiang.

The third infantry battalion is still being trained, and the current official battalion commander is vacant, but Zhao Laoqi, the former captain of Lin Ziran's personal army, is serving as the commander.

Looking at this name, I only know that this person is a bandit, he has always been Lin Ziran's personal soldier before, and later served as the captain of the pro-soldier team, this person actually had no sense of existence in the entire supplementary brigade before, but the person who can serve as Lin Ziran's personal guard for a long time is naturally Lin Ziran's henchman.

Zhao Laoqi actually doesn't have much talent as an officer, he used to be the captain of the pro-army team, but now he is transferred to the third infantry battalion as the battalion commander, in fact, he is more used to control the third infantry battalion, anyway, there are other officers and staff officers to do it.

Lin Ziran only needed to make him the commander of the 3rd Infantry Battalion to avoid the battalion from branding other officers during its formation.

And the Fourth Infantry Battalion, which is still in the plan, now only exists in the paper plan, the battalion commander is still vacant, Lin Ziran is ready to choose one from the graduates of the first crash course who are more outstanding and honest, several candidates are in his inspection, as for who the last one, it is still unknown.

The company commanders of the First Artillery Company and the Second Artillery Company were all from the first batch of bandit artillery, and their abilities may not be good, but their qualifications are relatively deep, and they can rest assured in terms of loyalty. The company commander of the Third Artillery Company is a high-definition talent, and this person is also the battalion commander of the follow-up artillery battalion set by Lin Ziran.

After a while, when the Fourth Artillery Company begins to be organized, he will combine the existing three artillery companies into the First Artillery Battalion, and if nothing else, Gao Gao will be the battalion commander of this artillery battalion.

Among the commanders of these troops, there is no Luo Mazi.

Because Lin Ziran really didn't think that Luo Mazi could be the commander in charge of the troops, if he was allowed to lead the troops to fight, he would dare to run away every minute.

Therefore, the most suitable position for him is to stay by Lin Ziran's side, and he has nothing to do with bad ideas or anything.

So now he is the director of the supervision and training department, not to mention, he is still not lazy in the supervision department.

The structure of the 3rd Division's supplementary brigade is still very imperfect, and many institutions are lacking, and there is also a shortage of officers.

But even in this case, Lin Ziran is still recruiting and expanding the army.

"Don't wait for me!" This is Lin Ziran's true feeling.

It's only been a long time, and there has been such a change in Luo'an County, and the ghost knows what will happen in the future.

He must be prepared in advance, and he must ensure his own interests and safety, no matter what happens outside.

Five thousand troops, barely enough!

When the Cheng family or the Jian family or someone else wants to move him, they have to consider the consequences.
