The three Zhang Ying commanders who led the riots were all killed by Han Gon's troops in the melee. The arrival of Han Gun's troops reversed the situation, and Wang Laixing's troops counterattacked, and together they drove the soldiers of Zhangying back to Zhangying Dazhai in the east, and blocked several gates.

In Zhang Yingzhong, the supporters of the riot were not all, and now that the main instigators of the riot had moved their heads, looking at the three blood-colored heads carried by Zhao Ying with a long pole outside the village, the moderates in the camp regained the upper hand. Han Gon adhered to Zhao Dangshi's instructions, and constantly sent people into the camp to lobby, and under coercion and inducement, Zhang Ying finally gave up the idea of fighting again, and turned to open the door to sue for peace.

There were more than 1,500 people who were taken to Baocheng by Zhang Miaoshou, and there were still 4,500 people left in Chenggu, including many old and weak women and children. Based on prudent considerations, Han Gon and Wang Laixing did not let themselves go, but first disarmed all Ding Zhuang in the camp, and then regardless of their labor, they rushed step by step, supervising these four or five thousand people all the way to Baocheng. and Zhang Miao's hands and the Zhao battalion and the horse battalion that guarded them all entered Baocheng, and it was three days later. However, two days ago, the reorganization of Zhao Ying had already begun.

In terms of structure and scale alone, this reorganization is more than anything in the past. The main participants are not only Zhao Ying's group of old people, but also new appendages such as Chang Zeyu and Hui Dengxiang. War needs to be planned before it is moved, and this is especially true of internal affairs, which are more important than war. It wasn't until Han Gon and Wang Laixing took Zhang Miao's men and men to Baocheng that the two-day reorganization and discussion came to fruition.

The first result of the reorganization was the determination of the military system that Zhao Ying might pursue unchanged for a long time to come

After repeated discussions, Zhao Dangshi "learned from the strengths of others" and decided on a plan with long-term stability: The highest level of the establishment is the "army," and there are a number of "battalions" under its jurisdiction. Each battalion has a number of "divisions" under its jurisdiction. Each division is the same as at the beginning, with a full force of 500 people and five "teams" under its jurisdiction. Each team has 100 people, divided into five "lines". There are twenty people in each row, divided into four "teams". Wu is the smallest military unit of the Zhao battalion, consisting of five people.

The six levels of army, battalion, division, team, line, and army constitute the main body of the military system of Zhao Ying.

Zhao Dangshi thought about the position of the commander of the army for a long time, and also referred to many military positions in previous dynasties, and finally planned to call it "chief soldier". Although Zhao Ying is still a rogue, it is nondescript to use this rank of official and soldier, but then again, taking a secluded ancient military position, I am afraid that many generals and soldiers have no concept in their hearts. Although the word "general soldier" is rude, the cost of understanding is also the smallest, and generals at all levels know at a glance that this is the highest position of an army.

Xu Hui began to show strong resistance to this, but Chang Zeyu gave the example of the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when it was in the Yuan Dynasty, but the rebels in the world, most of the military officers used Yuan military positions to facilitate management, including Zhu Yuanzhang, who later succeeded in founding the country. Even now, many of the military positions of the Ming army can be traced back to their origins, all of which come from the Mengyuan Dynasty. Moreover, there are many examples of rogues taking official and military positions for their own use. By analogy, Zhao Ying's behavior is not surprising.

Zhao Ying is now "unjustifiable", but the meaning of everyone's desperate efforts so far is not to break the shackles and overthrow the tyrannical government? If you don't give yourself a correct and long-term definition in your heart, and you always think that you are a coward and are willing to fall, then what's the point of continuing to develop?

Xu Hui was dumbfounded by Chang Zeyu's words, and looked a little unhappy, but he didn't insist after all. On the contrary to him, Hou Dagui and the others were excited. I want to work hard for most of my life, and I don't want to be able to get a "chief soldier" one day, whether it is an official or a thief, there are hundreds of soldiers under my hands. This alone is much stronger than the countless Guang Gong generals in the Ming Court who live on empty salaries.

In addition to the general army, the first army also has "joining the army" as an auxiliary. Joining the army has no real power, but only gives advice and guidance to the general army in military affairs, which is not difficult to understand for the generals of Zhao Ying, who have been accustomed to the clerks on their side.

Under the army, there is the first level of the battalion. The main position is the same as before, called "General Qian", and General Qian also imitates the general soldier around him, supplemented by "staff officers". The subordinate division is called "Bai Zong" as before, and the next team, line, and team are respectively called "captain", "president", and "captain".

The above is the military establishment of the Zhao Ying field troops. In addition, Zhao Ying also set up six most important posts in view of other specific affairs that were becoming increasingly important: the commander of the Parenting Department, the commander of the Special Service Department, the inspector, the instructor, the money and grain envoy, and the internal affairs envoy, collectively referred to as the "six envoys."

The Commander of the Parenting Division and the Commander of the Special Service Division are both positions that have been refined from the original night non-collection. Generally speaking, the Secret Service Department is Zhao Dangshi's personal guard, which is responsible for guarding the commander, while the Secret Service Department is an organization that separates special functions such as investigation, surveillance, infiltration, and even assassination.

The main responsibility of the inspectors is to formulate military discipline and to picket all kinds of dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty, and sentencing and conviction are also within the scope of their authority.

The instructor is responsible for leading many "coaches", these people are martial arts masters selected from the battalion, and there are various schools, and they are responsible for giving guidance and correction to officers and soldiers in combat skills during training.

As his name suggests, he is in charge of the supply of grain and straw and the expenditure of money and property.

The duties of the internal affairs envoy are very extensive, not only in charge of the military register, but also in charge of armor and ordnance and many other miscellaneous matters, and the management of military personnel is also in the scope of his duties. At the same time, Zhao Dangshi also stuffed departments such as "firearms supervision" here, although for now, the number of people involved in the development and production of firearms is very small, and there is no result, but it does not affect Zhao Dangshi's "long-term consideration".

As for Zhao Dangshi himself, "Chuang General" can only be regarded as a nickname, and it is due to the formal title of Zhao Ying's system, which is "Metropolitan Governor". The name of "Dadu Governor" has a long history, but Zhao Dangshi chose it mainly from the Ming army. The Ming court set up the post of governor, but it was not often used, and it was just used for it.

Since the system is coarse, it is imperative to adjust the personnel in the future. Prior to this, Zhao Dangshi first made a detailed count of all the soldiers and horses under Zhao's camp according to the detailed books submitted by various departments and the battle losses a few days ago.

As far as the headquarters of the Zhao battalion is concerned, after the battle with Zu Dabi, after removing the redundant soldiers who died on the spot and those who have died one after another in the past few days, and it is determined that the injuries can no longer support the battle, the three divisions of the front battalion, the front division Guo Hu has about 300 people left in the head, the rear division Bai Wang has less than 200 people, and the central division Li Yanyi has roughly maintained 1,000 people. The entire former battalion was reduced by more than half.

The two departments of Bai Jiaolong and Wu Mingfeng in the front and rear of the middle camp are also worth half of them, about 1,000 people. Zuo Battalion Qin Jinxiao did not return from the foreign war, regardless of it. Hao Shaoqi of the right battalion barely counted 2,000 people, and Wang Laixing of the rear battalion was about the same number. Han Gon in the horse army camp is not an incorruptible and untrustworthy department, and there are less than a thousand horse troops.

So according to statistics, the headquarters of Zhao Ying in Baocheng only has 6,500 infantry troops and 1,000 horse troops. Moreover, most of the troops are incomplete and difficult to fight again, so the matter of replenishment cannot be delayed any longer.

Looking at the three departments of Hui, Xiong, and Zhang, Hui Dengxiang has less than 500 people, Xiong Wanjian's department has been eliminated, and there are 3,000 people who can be used, and Zhang Miao's hand does not care about those old and young women and children, and is strictly selected, and there are also 3,000 soldiers who can fight. Therefore, through the cooperation or compulsory cooperation of these three people, the re-establishment of the Zhao battalion was based on the descendants of the troops and the three people who supplemented them.

From the biggest point of view, the Zhao camp is divided into two armies, one is called the "old army" and the other is the "first army".

As the name suggests, the old army is the core of Zhao Ying, and it is the foundation. The one who has this prestige and ability to serve as the chief soldier of the old army is none other than Hou Dagui. The first army is the main force of Zhao Ying's field battle, and there is no suspense about the person who is the chief soldier, and Xu Hui is also.

When the two armies joined the army, it was better to talk about the army first, and it was directly determined that Yan Licheng would be established. This scholar, who came out of the Shizhou Wei clan with Liu Xiaohong, has a completely different personality from Liu and is very able to deal with people. Before, he assisted Hou Dagui, and after a period of getting along, he successfully dispelled Hou Dagui's dislike for scholars and won Hou Dagui's trust. And judging from his ordinary words and deeds and contributions to military affairs, he is still quite reliable. Zhao Dangshi thought that there was no problem with transferring him to Xu Hui's side.

On the contrary, it was the joining of the old army, and Zhao Dangshi thought about it for a long time and was undecided. Hou Dagui and Xu Hui's tempers, one is like fire, the other is like ice. Hou Dagui, as long as you can be accepted by him, it will be like blending into his flame, and you will get great trust and freedom; But Xu Hui is different, he is a very assertive commander, many times, he has the final say in the affairs of the army, and if others have objections, they are likely to be strongly disgusted by him. Earlier, around Xu Hui was Shuiqiu Tan, and this person was also a scholar from Shi Zhouwei and Liu and Yan. But this Shuiqiu is good at books and arithmetic, but he is not good at words and deeds, and he is not familiar with military affairs, so Xu Hui just treats him as a pen and a pen, and there has never been a difference of opinion and argument between the two, so they have always been peaceful. Transferring Yan Licheng to cooperate with Xu Hui is very important, and it is also the sleek way of dealing with people and things.

But as soon as Yan Licheng left, who to assist Hou Dagui became a big problem. The position of joining the army is very important, Zhao Dangshi will not easily put people on the table, his original intention is to choose one of Chang Zeyu, Qin Qigong, and Mu Gongchun. However, through Chang Zeyu's words and deeds, Zhao Dangshi can clearly feel that his ambition does not lie in the side of a general, in other words, he is willing to sacrifice the rest of the martial arts camp in exchange for joining the Zhao camp, hoping to win a place next to Zhao Dangshi. And with his ability and insight, it is really overkill to send him down, and there are still many places where Zhao Dangshi can use him in the future, and he must stay by his side. Originally, Mu Gongchun was very suitable, he was good at making strange plans, but his vision was not high, and he was just right in the combat troops at the tactical level, but this person had a bad temper and was quite arrogant, and he was tied to the impatient Hou Dagui, what consequences can be imagined. So after thinking about it, Qin Qigong, who is tolerant and generous, calm and capable, is the first choice. With him by his side, Hou Dagui can not only be restrained, but also be guided. It's just that the person concerned is not there at this time, and Zhao Dangshi is afraid that Qin Qigong will not be able to accept such an arrangement, so he has temporarily made a plan and is ready to wait for Qin Qigong to confirm it.

The old army has four battalions, which are divided into front, left, right, and rear according to the rule, with 2,000 people in each battalion. The thousand generals are Bai Jiaolong, Wu Mingfeng, Xiong Wanjian and Zhang Miaoshou, and the staff officers of the corresponding four battalions are Hui Dengxiang, Liu Yongjin, Bai Wang, and Li Yanyi. Hui, Xiong, and Zhang's previous positions are there, and it is difficult to convince people if they don't arrange a high position, but for these three people, Zhao Dangshi has always adhered to the means of "Mingzun and secret control". Especially Hui Dengxiang, his reputation in the early years was too famous, Zhao Dangshi couldn't help but take precautions, and he didn't even dare to give him a thousand presidents, but put him next to Bai Jiaolong to monitor. Xiong Wanjian and Zhang Miaoshou are nominally Qianzong, but the real power is in the hands of Bai Wang and Li Yanyi, the staff officers around them. Zhao Dangshi didn't say anything about this, and they all knew it - from the moment they announced their allegiance to Zhao Dangshi, they could no longer control their fate, and it was their best and only choice to protect themselves and keep their mouths shut. One more thing to mention, Zhang Miaoshou's rear battalion, as always, is basically in charge of logistics, and the work of the inspectors, internal affairs envoys, and money and grain envoys is also closely related to his rear battalion.

The army first attacked the three battalions, divided into front, left and right, of which 3,000 people in the front camp and 2,000 people in each of the left and right battalions. The thousand generals are Guo Ruke, Qin Jinxiao and Hao Shaoqi, and the corresponding soldiers are Song Houzhen, Guo Mingtao and Yang Zhaofeng. Guo Ruke is Guo Hutou's real name, he has gone through bloody battles in the past few months, and has made countless meritorious achievements, Zhao Dangshi has been quite sure of his loyalty and ability, and other generals in the battalion have also recognized him very much. Even Hao Shaoqi, who has always been unconvinced, will say: "Tiger head, this thousand president, should be deserved." He was seriously injured in the battle a few days ago, but fortunately, he, Bai Wang, and Bai Jiaolong were not injured as critically, and after all-out rescue, he was already in a rapid recovery, only Zhou Wenhe, who was hit by the horse head-on, broke a few bones, and there was blood in his abdomen, and he was still unconscious.

Since Guo Hutou has been promoted to a high position, he naturally thinks more. He had only choked on the smoke and had fallen unconscious, so he woke up the fastest. After hearing that he had become the president of Qian, he very solemnly asked someone to tell Zhao Dangshi, saying that he had thought about it for a long time and decided to give up the nickname of "Guo Hutou" in the future, and from then on, he would use his real name "Guo Ruke" on any occasion to show formality. Of course, when Zhao Dangshi and the old people met, the word "tiger head" can still be said. Zhao Dangshi heard this, and his request was correct.

Qin Jinxiao did not return, and temporarily assigned his troops to the first army. It is worth mentioning that there is a lack of talents in the battalion, and Zhao Dangshi originally thought that he would not put a staff officer around Qin Jinxiao. But after Han Gon returned from Chenggu, he introduced two people to Zhao Dangshi, one Lu Xingyun and the other Guo Mingtao. These two are extremely difficult to gnaw hard bones, and they have survived to this day, and they are finally willing to lower their heads and serve Zhao Ying.
