In the Yate barracks of Beiguan Military Fort, army adjutant Otto and Angus had just knocked on the door and entered. Art motioned for the two to sit down, then beckoned the guards to pour two cool beers.

Art picked up several freshly bound books from the table, and divided them into several books, which were made of the valley's homemade papyrus, which was very light and thin compared to those made of parchment, but because the "paper-making technology" was still in a state of secrecy, it was hardly used to the outside world on weekdays.

"Odo, Sergeant Major, I bought this set of 'A Brief Description of the Art of War' from a seminary library in Lombardy at a high price, and it took Father Robert and Clerk Bob and the three officers of the Chinese army to translate it into the common language, and I am studying the original Latin version, and you two will take this translation to study. In addition, there are several sets of books on the art of war, and the clerks of the Chinese army's command camp are working hard to translate them into the common language, and you can take them and study them when the time comes. ”

"You are all people who have been in battle for a long time, and after you go down, you will put forward suggestions for revision based on your years of combat experience, and we will discuss them together when the time comes. After the publication was finalized, these books were used as teaching materials for the Military Academy. ”

Otto and Angus got up to take the book, and gently opened the velope title page to look at the paper inside.

"My lord, is this the homemade papyrus of our valley? It's much thinner than those sheepskin cowhides. Otto touched the smooth pages of the book and sighed, he did not expect that the bark and weeds that spread all over the road could be made into expensive paper.

Angus paid more attention to the content of the book itself, "My lord, with this set of books on the art of war, it is much easier for us to teach officers, and after a few cursory glances, there are almost everything from recruitment and training to marching and fighting, it is a treasure!" ”

Yate raised his hand, "You will read this set of books on the art of war later, and I called you over to discuss the next reorganization and expansion of the army." Our recruit training is about to be completed in these two days, and I'm going to ......"

“...... I heard that the legion is about to be reorganized and expanded, do you think we can still mix a flag captain? ”

In the wasteland training ground outside the dense forest of the Beiguan Military Fort, free prisoners Hans and Bury, who are still being trained as recruits, have just completed their personal combat skills assessment, wearing short brown and burqas cut from the legion soldiers, holding wooden sticks and shields for training competitions, and hiding in the shade of trees on the southern edge of the training ground with coarse sweat on their faces, sharing the gossip they heard by the way.

After a bloody battle with the Swabians in the eastern part of Jonah Province, the Prisoners' Corps was disbanded, and Hansbury, like most of the surviving prisoners, chose to follow the Welsh Corps south, because it was still impossible for the prisoners to survive in peacetime, let alone in the autumn of war, even if they regained their freedom, they could only do some things such as stealing chickens and dogs or blocking the road, robbing and killing, and it was better to eat military rations as soldiers.

What's more, they witnessed first-hand the high salaries and generous treatment of the soldiers of the Welsh Legion.

After following the Wells legion south, they repaired for more than half a month, during which time they, the free prisoners, were placed in a military fortress called "Boulder Town" in the north of the place, which was full of wasteland and could not escape if they wanted to.

During this period, a few bad guys who couldn't hold back tried to launch a "riot" to grab money and food and escape, but they were killed by the garrison in the military village just after the incident, and several bad guys were beheaded and burned on the spot.

Since then, the two hundred and forty-six free prisoners have been quiet, waiting to be placed in a steady manner.

It was not long after that "riot" that a "veteran" who claimed to be a recruit came to the garrison camp in Boulder Town, took all the free prisoners to this Beiguan military fort, and began the arduous "recruit training".

Hans and Bury had been on the Deadpool team, had seen the worst battles, and had made great military achievements, for which they were rewarded with post-war military awards.

However, until now, the two of them were not even soldiers of the Welsh Legion, and their status was only lower than that of the most ordinary soldiers, and their status was similar to that of the miscellaneous soldiers in the army.

Hans removed the sac from his waist full of beer, which was always bulging thanks to a special fermentation process used in the valley's own beers.

Huh~ Hans opened the wine sac and released some gas, and then poured a large sip into his mouth, and a cool feeling fell from his throat to his stomach and then permeated his body.

"Comfortable~It's so comfortable~" Hans couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy the coolness of the beer.

Burry, on the side, could only watch Hans, and then picked up the water bladder with water in his waist and tasted it - it was bland and tasteless.

Burry spat it out and threw the water bladder to the ground.

Hans glanced at Burry, and put away the wine bag and hung it back on his waist, "What? Is the military reward squandered like this? That's a full two hundred pfennigs! How do you spend so fast? ”

"It's not those mongrels of the baggage team, they asked me to gamble on beans, and I lost it all after only a few rounds~"

"You pig brain! Can you bet on those old foxes on the baggage team? Besides, in the past few days, you have memorized the laws of the legion, and it is strictly forbidden to gamble indiscriminately in the army, do you want to be beaten by the army? ”

Burry touched his buttocks, "That's fine!" We all played a few games in the tavern during the rest of the day, and we didn't break military law. By the way, do you have any news about what I just said? ”

"What's the matter?"

"You dog's head, it's a matter of the reorganization and expansion of the legion, is it possible for us to be the flag captain? I've heard that the Flag Captain is paid one hundred and twenty pfennigs a month! Burry said as he looked at the wine bag around Hans's waist and swallowed.

Hans laughed, took the wine bag from his waist and threw it to Burry, "No hope! ”

Bury couldn't wait to open the wine bag and take a sip, choking and coughing violently twice, "Why?" When we were in the 2nd Infantry Regiment, we were the squadron leader and flag captain, and now we have been reorganized and expanded~"

Yesterday I went to visit Commander Rig, and Captain Rig said that all officers above the flag captain level of the Wells Regiment must be officers trained in the officer academy, and even if we pass the recruit training and be promoted to the most soldiers, we can serve as squad leaders, and the squadron leader dare not say that we will definitely be able to become a squadron leader.

"Huh? Wouldn't I be able to be a flag captain for the rest of my life? I can't read~"

"It's not that there is no chance, I heard Captain Rig say that the officer academy also recruits illiterate outstanding soldiers and low-ranking officers, as long as the performance is good enough, there is also a chance."

"Forget it, I'm still an ordinary soldier for the rest of my life, I don't want to go to that stone house and squat on a wooden bench to suffer~" Bury muttered and took another sip of the wine bag.

"Hehe, you'd like to leave me some, do you know how expensive this beer is? Hey hey bastard, leave me some ......"

The two scuffled into a fight to grab the wine bag......

"Hans, Bury! What are you two bastards doing? Fast! It's time for the recruit battle formation assessment! A Chinese soldier in light clothes, holding birch bark in his right hand and charcoal stick in his left, walked up to the shade of the tree and scolded the two recruits.

Hansbury turned his head and saw that it was the Chinese military officer who was responsible for recording the results of the recruit assessment, and immediately did not dare to frolic anymore, so he quickly got up and sorted out his armor, picked up his weapon, and ran towards the recruit team......

On the evening of 10 May, the scorching heat of the day gradually faded as the sun set, and the soldiers, who had been tortured all day, had already finished their dinner, sitting at the door of the camp and drinking beer in the evening breeze, enjoying the rare coolness.

However, it was still hot in the stone house of the Beiguan military fort, and more than 20 officers sat in the stone house, and in the middle of the long wooden table on the first step of the stone house sat Yat, Odo, Angus and Kazak, which was a major military meeting of the Welsh regiment, so the civil administration did not send personnel to attend, and there were several officials of the Chinese army commanding the camp behind the stone house to attend the meeting, and the clerk Bob was also among them.

The Wells Regiment has not yet been reorganized, and the ranks and positions of officers at all levels have not yet been determined, not to mention officers above the company level, and the squadron leader and flag captain officers sitting in the stone house at this time will also be promoted in the next reorganization and expansion.

The military council was presided over by the red-haired Kazak, who had recently been promoted to adjutant of the regiment, and he had been sitting down to listen to Odo Angus and them, and this was the first time he had presided over such an important military council, so he was a little nervous.

“...... That~Next, Lord Angus will introduce us to the formation of the Wells Legion.~. Everyone listens carefully, and after listening, you can make suggestions. Good! Kazak bowed slightly to Angus.

Angus nodded, and picked up a piece of birch bark on the long table, "Everyone, under the personal planning of my lordship, I have discussed with Lord Odo, Lord Kazak and several officers a plan for the reorganization and expansion of the Welsh Legion, which is only a plan for the establishment of field soldiers, and the establishment of border garrisons, county soldiers, patrol teams, garrison corps and other armies will remain unchanged for the time being. ”

"The Wells Legion has six levels of establishment, namely squads, squadrons, flag teams, companies, sub-regiments, and regiments, and these six levels basically follow the traditional establishment of the legion infantry."

"Level 1, squad. Five people are a small team, with one squad leader and four soldiers.

2nd level, squadron. The three squadrons are one squadron, including two combat squadrons and one directly subordinate squadron; The squadron has a squadron leader, a deputy squadron leader and a squad leader directly under the squadron, and 14 soldiers, a total of 16 people.

Level 3, Flag Team. Three squadrons are one flag squadron, including two combat squadrons and one squadron directly under them; The flag team has a flag captain, a deputy flag captain and a squadron leader directly under the squadron, and the flag captain is equipped with two personal guards; Fifty-one people in total.

Fourth level, company. The three flag teams are a company, including two combat flag teams and a direct flag team, and the company has a company leader, a deputy company leader and a direct flag captain, and the company leader is equipped with six personal guards; A total of 160 people.

The fifth level, infantry detachments. The three companies are an infantry sub-regiment, including two combat companies and one directly subordinate company, and the sub-regiment has a sub-regiment commander, a sub-regimental adjutant and a direct company commander, and the sub-regiment commander is equipped with 15 personal guards, totaling 496 people.

Sixth Rank, Welsh Legion. It has jurisdiction over two infantry regiments, namely the 1st Wells Regiment and the 2nd Wells Regiment, and the 2nd Regiment, which claims the Southern Xinjiang Garrison Corps.

The regimental command camp directly governs the 60 cavalry team, the 100-man bow and crossbow team, the 60-man heavy infantry team, the 30-man military law and supervision team, the 20-person command camp guard, the 80-person baggage team, and the military medical team set up separately from the baggage team. Of course, we certainly can't do it all right now, but we have to put the framework up first.

In addition, each flag corps is composed of one military law sergeant and one ideological and political officer stationed in the Chinese army's command camp, one military law chief and one ideological and political manager in the company, one adjutant and one ideological and political adjutant in the sub-regiment, and one military judge and one ideological and political officer in the Wells regiment. Military law and ideological and political subordinates are subject to the dual command of the military commander at the same level and the direct subordinate commander at the higher level, and the promotion and commendation of all soldiers and officers must be signed by the military law and ideological and political subordinates at the same level to be effective. ”

"Okay, let's think about it for a while, and you can raise an objection......"
