Jiang Xifeng, who was in charge of the General Staff Department, had never understood what Gonggong Wei was talking about, so before he got Gonggong Wei's plan for the establishment of divisions and regiments, a group of staff personnel, including Jiang Xifeng, were at a loss for understanding the so-called plan for the formation of first-class divisions and regiments.

After Gonggong Wei sent away a group of fathers and villagers, he closed his doors.

Although this is an army establishment plan made by the Japanese people in later generations, it has to be said that the names of the army formations such as divisions and brigades are still very classical militaristic and are a kind of cultural and custom inheritance of Chinese civilization.

To some extent, it makes sense that the Wa Kingdom and Vietnam are called Little China.

As the name suggests, the Taiwan Garrison Division is definitely a division stationed in Taiwan, an army used to encircle and suppress local resistance against natives, pirates, and possibly foreign forces, and to establish law and order in Taiwan, to form political power, and to maintain order.

In view of the low combat effectiveness of Taiwan's indigenous people and the lack of strength of pirates and foreign forces, the main task of the division is only to basically occupy it, so Gonggong Wei set the establishment of a second-class division for the Taiwan garrison division.

The reorganization plan is as follows: The Taiwan Garrison Division has jurisdiction over three brigades and regiments, and each brigade has jurisdiction over two infantry wings, that is, three brigades and regiments have a total of six infantry wings. In addition, the division and regiment headquarters directly govern an engineer wing, a cavalry wing, and a baggage wing, plus the non-combatants of the division headquarters and the three brigades and regimental headquarters, with a total of 18,000 officers and men.

The division headquarters was stationed, and the father-in-law was placed in Taipei County. The 1st Brigade is stationed in Hualien County; The 2nd Brigade is stationed in Tainan County; The 3rd Brigade is stationed in Hsinchu County.

In the future, it is necessary for all brigades and regiments to actively discuss and develop, establish cities with Han immigrants and Taiwanese aborigines who have returned to obedience, and establish the existence of political power in each county.

Gonggong Wei originally wanted to report to Wanli after taking Taiwan and request the establishment of a province in Taiwan, but considering that this move would easily make the imperial court pick the fruit and send irrelevant personnel to seize the fruits of the victory of the imperial army, which would play an unfavorable role in the future trend of the Ming Imperial Army, so Gonggong Wei was not ready to report to Taiwan for the establishment of a province for the time being.

It is proposed to reveal the secret in Wanli, please designate Taiwan as the residence of the Admiral's Maritime Yamen, and the food place of the Ming Imperial Army. The counties on the island are tentatively designated by the guard system, collectively referred to as the command post of the Ming Emperor's pro-army Taiwan, and are under the direct management of the admiral maritime eunuchs. Each county under the responsibility of each brigade is a thousand households. In this way, the hand of the imperial court can not reach Taiwan, and the political significance of the occupation of Taiwan can also be diluted.

After all, his father-in-law Wei is a eunuch, and the imperial army is just the army of the Son of Heaven, which is not recognized by the court.

In the Ming Dynasty, bypassing the imperial court will be efficient.

Of course, this reorganization plan is only literal, because Wei Gonggong can only allocate 3,000 people to the Taiwan garrison division at the moment, and the rest of the officers and soldiers need to be expanded by each brigade and regiment on its own.

Of the 3,000 people actually subordinated, in addition to the 1,200 soldiers from Suning, the rest were transferred to Liaodong to surrender 300 people, 800 soldiers from the Southern Capital Xungui family and the three major battalions, 500 people from Liyang Iron Mine miners, and 200 soldiers from the original Wusongshui Battalion.

This military allocation can ensure that Suning's children account for the majority, so that people such as the ninth grandfather, the seventh uncle and grandfather, and their own brother-in-law will come to scold their mother again, saying that the old Wei family has made wedding dresses for outsiders.

In terms of weapons, my father-in-law did not pick the door at all, and ordered to transfer 500 newly made flintlock pistols from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, 500 firecrackers, 100 large poles, 40 tiger squat cannons, and the rest of the swords, spears, arrows and shields, which were given priority.

After Jiang Xifeng got this plan for the reorganization of Taiwan's garrison division, he didn't say much. If the Ming Imperial Army was built by Father-in-law Wei and belonged to the father-in-law and private soldiers, then this Taiwan garrison division is more like Father-in-law Wei's family.

"The establishment of this office, the staff department here as soon as possible, should be transferred, should be given, after the formation of the division will be temporarily stationed in Sitang Town, the money and food will be returned to our family to say hello to the logistics department."

"Yes, father-in-law."

Jiang Xifeng nodded, how dare he say no, his father-in-law's arrangement, but he still couldn't help but have something to say about the candidate of Guo Dafeng, the division commander.

"Father-in-law, this Wei Dafeng has never been in the army before, this is suddenly given a high position as the head of the division, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to take on the big responsibility, if it is bad for his father-in-law's business"

"It's okay,"

The father-in-law chuckled, "No one will lead the soldiers when they go out of the womb, so if you don't understand, you can learn." Besides, Guo Dafeng has also been in the imperial army for so long, we can trust him."

Speaking of this, the conversation changed, but he said: "However, your staff department should keep an eye on it, and there should also be a chief of staff at the division and regiment level, and the staff department should select some capable personnel to enrich it, and assist the generals at all levels." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Xifeng was immediately relieved, his staff department has now expanded by two or three hundred people, and many young people have been trained by him according to Gonggong Wei's staff manual, and they are just released to exercise.

"You can take a look at the establishment of the first-class division." Gonggong Wei handed another reorganization plan on the desk to Jiang Xifeng.

Jiang Xifeng took it and looked at it, and found that the establishment of this first-class division had more things than that of the second-class division, and some things had changed.

Specifically, the first-class division has jurisdiction over only two brigades and regiments, but each brigade has jurisdiction over three infantry wings, and there is one more artillery wing than the second-class division, and together with the non-combatants of the divisional headquarters and brigade headquarters, the entire division has 28,000 officers and soldiers, which is 10,000 more than the second-class division.

Moreover, unlike the second-class division in which only each brigade has one firearms brigade, the total number of firearms in the whole division is only one infantry wing, but the entire first-class division is all firecracked equipment, and in the words of Wei Gonggong in the past, it is a real hot-weapon army.

"If you follow this structure, you need at least 20,000 guns, father-in-law, there are not so many in our army." Jiang Xifeng is in charge of the staff department, and he doesn't know how many weapons and equipment there are in the army.

"The matter of the firecracker, our family will find a way, how many of the existing in the army will be transferred out, and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau will also rush to work, and our family will have to ask for personal favors."

Gonggong Wei had already thought about this in his heart, most of the original firearms in the army were obtained from the Fusi of Nanzhen, and he also received more than 1,000 rods from the Wusongshui battalion, and more than 1,000 rods were captured in the retaliatory operation against Dinghaiwei, and more than 10,000 rods were "donated" by the reactionary nobles and the three major battalions in Nandu, and then there was a batch of firearms captured in Liaodong, which was produced by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and the total number was 20,000 rods.

However, there are forty percent of them that cannot be used, and most of these unusable firearms are disposable products, mainly from the three major battalions in the southern capital, so the actual equipment can be a little more than 10,000 rods, and the number of gaps is obviously very large.

The main operation method of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is to recycle the unusable fire gun into the furnace and remake it into a flintlock gun. This process is very complex, and although mass production can be achieved, the output is not large. Therefore, Gonggong Wei had to find another way to meet the needs of this first-class division.

"Let's find a way to deal with weapons, let's do this finalization."

Gonggong Wei pinched the big gold chain around his neck, "This first-class division will be called the Ming Royal Guards Division in the future, and the division headquarters will be set in Edo." ”

"Edo?"

Jiang Xifeng was stunned, where is this place.

"The goal of the Guards Division is to occupy there." Gonggong Wei turned his head to look in the far northeast, "That's where the imperial army wants to conquer." ”

Red flags are planted on Mt. Fuji and hymns are sung in the Pacific Ocean.
