Chapter Eighty-Six: It's All Talents
1,200 people, if this number is placed in some feudal towns, it is the strength of a regiment, but if it is in the troops of some feudal towns, it is only the size of a battalion.
Even in the troops of some feudal towns, more than 1,000 people can be regarded as a brigade.
Nowadays, the establishment of the feudal towns in Dahengli is relatively chaotic, although the overall establishment of the era of the Daheng Dynasty is still maintained, but it is only the title.
Due to the different strengths and tactical needs of each feudal town, the establishment of each feudal town is chaotic.
In addition to these, there is also a very important point that during the war, it is often difficult for the feudal towns to maintain the full strength of the various troops, and many troops are often fighting less and less, but the generals of some troops are relatively strong, so although it may be a regiment, the number of troops under its jurisdiction is often several thousand.
Therefore, in today's Daheng, it is normal for a battalion to have more troops than a regiment, and a regiment to have more troops than a division.
The Luo An Army was relatively regular, and the troops at all levels generally maintained the establishment of the Daheng Dynasty.
Because the predecessor of the Luo An Army was the Third Army of the Southern Navy, and Nanhai Prefecture was still loyal to the Ji Dynasty more than ten years ago, but it was only after Duke Meng died on the battlefield that he openly seceded the territory.
Therefore, the Luo An Army maintained the standard establishment of the Great Heng Dynasty as a whole.
The army has a number of divisions, three brigades and four regiments under the brigade.
Each regiment has about 1,300 troops, and each regiment has two combat battalions, in addition to a new battalion that remains behind to recruit and train new recruits, and this recruit battalion is not on the battlefield.
Each combat battalion was about 600 people, with six companies, and each company had a strength of 100 men.
Generally speaking, a brigade in the Luo'an army is a standard tactical unit, equipped with auxiliary units such as artillery, cavalry, and baggage, and the total strength can often reach more than 6,000 people, with independent combat capabilities, and its commander is generally a young secretary.
As for division-level troops, that is, strategic units, such as the Third Division outside Chongguang City, which is responsible for a single front.
The establishment of the Luo An Army was a more common establishment in the Daheng Dynasty, and although the other feudal towns were different, they were similar.
However, Lin Ziran's Qingshan Patrol Battalion is completely different from their establishment.
Because the Qingshan Patrol Battalion was equipped with Mini rifles, it paid more attention to skirmishers and more attention to the command of grassroots troops than line operations, and Lin Ziran's personal influence, so a musket company of about 140 people was created.
And even the most basic tactical units, even are different, and the others are naturally different.
Therefore, the establishment and even tactics of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion are different from those of the Luo An Army.
This also led to the time of tactical training, in fact, Lin Ziran could not find a ready-made reference, and the training drills in the Luo An army were not very suitable for the Qingshan Patrol Battalion.
Because the training drill of the Luo An army is dedicated to training line combat, even if there are skirmish tactics in it, but it is only for light infantry with smoothbore guns or hunters with old-fashioned front-loading rifled guns.
In desperation, Lin Ziran could only do the same as before, and conduct basic training first.
After tossing the establishment problem, Luo Mazi also found Lin Ziran to report on the recruitment of prisoners of war.
"During this time, the little one didn't dare to have any contempt, and recruited those prisoners of war according to your instructions, and the emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally had a little success recently!"
When Lin Ziran heard this, he immediately asked, "Oh, there are officers who are willing to take refuge in us?" ”
Now what Lin Ziran lacks most is qualified officers, so he has engaged in a crash course for officers, but now he doesn't even have a qualified instructor, so he can only let a group of officer cadets learn by themselves with various tactical books on training and drills, and the effect is similar to nothing.
If an officer is willing to come over, then the problem of the instructor will be solved.
However, after Luo Mazi heard this, he paused slightly, and then showed a trace of embarrassment: "This is not ......"
Then he defended: "Those officers are all stones in the pit, smelly and hard, the little one tried to persuade him several times, but each time it was in vain, according to the small opinion, he still had to stay up for a while!" ”
"Although they were allowed to work some time ago, they were still treated too favorably, and the next step is to break up these officers, and then arrange them into various groups, and arrange them into the groups where the soldiers who are dissatisfied with the officers serve as the team leader!"
"The little ones don't believe it, they have been able to survive!"
Listening to Luo Mazi say a lot, Lin Ziran didn't have the heart to listen, the most valuable of those prisoners of war were those officers, since they couldn't be recruited, then the remaining prisoners of war were naturally useless.
Luo Mazi is also a smart person, and he can see at a glance that although Lin Ziran is listening to him, he actually doesn't know what to think in his heart.
Immediately, the conversation changed, and then said: "Although those officers are not willing to surrender for the time being, the little one has successfully persuaded the two sergeants to surrender!" ”
"Is there a sergeant willing to surrender?" Lin Ziran became interested when he heard this.
Sergeants, in the armies of the feudal towns of the Great Heng Dynasty, although they are still considered soldiers, they are generally senior soldiers, usually holding grass-roots positions, for example, the artillery commanders are generally sergeants.
Although these sergeants are not officers, they have been in the army for many years and have rich experience, and it would be beneficial if they could be recruited.
Soon, Lin Ziran saw the two Guang'an sergeants who were willing to surrender in Luo Mazi's mouth.
One looks like he is in his thirties, the other is slightly younger, but he is also in his twenties, and the mental state of the two is not too good, but their faces are neat, and they are also wearing clean and tidy military uniforms.
After these two people came in one after another, they immediately bowed their hands to greet them: "The little one has seen the adult!" ”
Lin Ziran smiled and nodded: "Come up, hurry up, everyone will be brothers in the future, you're welcome!" ”
At this time, Luo Mazi also took two steps forward to introduce Lin Ziran: "This is Sergeant Zheng Youwei, who has been in the army for 12 years and has experienced countless battles, even in the elite troops of the Guang'an Army, he is also a warrior who can occupy the position of a senior sergeant. ”
After speaking, he pointed to a slightly younger person: "This is a high-definition talent sergeant, who has been in the army for eight years, is a senior and skilled artillery commander, and a five-pound field gun is in his hands, which is a hundred shots!" ”
After hearing Luo Mazi's brief introduction, the smile on Lin Ziran's face became even bigger.
These two people are the talents they urgently need.
Even if they are not officers, they are all senior sergeants who have been in the army for many years, especially one of them is still an artillery commander, no matter what kind of army such two people are placed in, they are people worthy of the attention of the commander.
"It's all talent!" Lin Ziran took two steps forward with a smile: "You don't have to have any worries in the future, I don't dare to say anything else, but you can definitely rest assured in terms of treatment!" ”
"A lot of things, maybe he also told you about Mazi, so I won't repeat Lin someone, just say it later!"
After speaking, a guard came over next to him, and the guard also held a tray in his hand with a collar badge on it.
Lin Ziran directly picked up the collar badge on the tray, and then stepped forward to pin it for them: "In the future, everyone is brothers, and the scale of our patrol battalion is still a little smaller, so I will first wronged the two brothers to be sergeants, but in the future, when the scale of our patrol battalion expands again, not to mention the sergeant, even if it is a doctor!" ”
Lin Ziran knew that the surrender of these two people might be due to temporary submission to reality, but Lin Ziran didn't care.
As long as they work for themselves, that's enough.
As long as his own development is good and the promised future is guaranteed, Lin Ziran doesn't believe that they are not suitable for the scholars here, and they have to run back to the Guang'an Army to be a soldier.
In Daheng, a sergeant is just a soldier.
These two people watched Lin Ziran pinning the sergeant's rank for them, and although they had a lot of ideas in their hearts, they still squeezed out a smile.
