After the commanders of the 1st Division, the 2nd Division, the 3rd Division, the 4th Division, the 1st Mixed Brigade, the 2nd Mixed Brigade, the Yulin Praetorian Guard Brigade, the Special Forces Headquarters, and the Artillery Brigade finished awarding the flags, it was not Wang Xiaoshan's turn.

"Tianxiong Praetorian Guard Brigade, Brigade Commander Wang Xiaoshan, rank Colonel." Li Mingyuan read out the last brigade-level commander, and Wang Xiaoshan was still there in a daze.

"Xiaoshan, Shizi has read your name," Li Dawei shook his arm.

"Well, thank you Brother Li for reminding me." Wang Xiaoshan whispered, and then stood up.

"Xiaoshan, you did well this time, so I handed over the newly established Tianxiong Guards to you, I hope you don't insult the word Tianxiong."

Tianxiong was taken from Lu Xiangsheng's army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the number of Tianxiong army was less than 10,000, but he dared to face to face with 50,000 or 60,000 Manchu Tartars, although the Tianxiong army was finally destroyed because the friendly army did not save him, but the prestige of the Tianxiong army was handed down and praised and admired by future generations.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty had no way, and the Chinese should be self-reliant, and in his spare time at night, Li Mingyuan often gathered the officers to explain military theories and national heroic deeds, and Wang Xiaoshan remembered the story of the Tianxiong Army deeply, and Li Mingyuan named the newly established unit after Tianxiong, indicating that he had great expectations for this unit.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoshan vowed to make the Tianxiong Praetorian Guard Brigade live up to its name and live up to the word Tianxiong.

At the end of the meeting, Li Mingyuan left the conference hall first, and then the others began to discuss happily.

"Brother Cai, you are so powerful, you became a captain all of a sudden." Chen Donkey said enviously.

"It's all the support of Chief Sun, and I have thanked Captain Sun here first." After Sun Qisheng reported Cai Jiu's credit for helping the special forces provide intelligence, Li Mingyuan rewarded Cai Jiu according to his merits and promoted Cai Jiu to captain, and at Sun Qisheng's request, Cai Jiu was arranged in the special forces.

"Hehe, Cai Jiu, your position was earned by yourself, I just reported it truthfully, if you want to thank it, thank the prince." Sun Qisheng was promoted to colonel today, and he was in a good mood and said with a smile.

"The care of the prince and the grandson is remembered."

"Work hard in the special brigade, strive to make meritorious contributions as soon as possible, and promote the rank to major."

"Thank you for your encouragement, I will work hard."

"I said Sun Qisheng, as soon as your kid was promoted, he started to put out the official score?"

Sun Qisheng knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice.

opened his mouth and said, "Brother Wu, isn't the little brother happy?" ”

Sun Qisheng had just been promoted, and he learned from Li Mingyuan's encouragement of his subordinates and encouraged Cai Jiu, but he was teased by Wu Feipeng, the captain of the big knife, and said a little embarrassed.

"You kid is also lucky, you have made two merits in succession, and now your military rank is as high as my brother."

"Brother Wu's broadsword team is well-known in our independent army, although I have been promoted to colonel, I don't dare to compare with Brother Wu." Sun Qisheng said modestly.

"Hearing this, Lao Wu feels comfortable, but Lao Wu is not a stingy person, today you are promoted to a big joy, my brother invites you to dinner to celebrate, how about it, don't you appreciate your face?"

"Brother Wu invited me to dinner, how can there be any reason not to agree?" Sun Qisheng said with a smile.

"Captain Wu, since you invite you to dinner, will you bring me and Brother Cai?" Chen Donkey said.

"Of course, the more lively the meal, the better, everyone goes together." Wu Feipeng said angrily.

"Well, I remembered, the prince has to give a lecture to the officers tonight, and you can't get drunk at lunch." Chen Donkey remembered one thing.

"Hey, I'm done, Chen Donkey is already a second lieutenant officer." Wu Feipeng patted his head and said.

"Hehe, hee-hee, it's just the smallest official, and I don't dare to compare with the chiefs." Chen Donkey's face was full of joy and he smiled.

"Haha, you're funny, or you'll be transferred to me, and I'll teach you how to play with a big knife myself."

"Then forget it, I can't stand Captain Wu's training." Chen Donkey's head shook like a rattle, and he didn't mean to agree at all.

It has been less than ten days since Chen Donkey joined the Chinese Independence Army, but in these days, he has also seen Wu Feipeng train his subordinates.

The Broadsword Team of the Battle of Arequipa did not achieve the same first merit as the cavalry regiment and other troops, so after conquering Arequipa City, Wu Feipeng poured out all his grievances about not getting the first merit on the training of the troops.

Every morning as soon as dawn, Wu Feipeng took his soldiers to start training.

Wu Feipeng trained his subordinates without mercy this time, and used the big knife that was not opened to simulate actual combat operations.

In the past ten days, almost every member of the Broadsword Team has been taught a lesson by Wu Feipeng, and two of the ribs of the three unlucky guys have been kicked off.

I have to admit that although Wu Feipeng's training is simple and rude, the effect is very good, and the current members of the Broadsword Team have increased their combat effectiveness by more than one level compared to when they were first established.

"Haha, teasing you, your small body can't withstand the training of the Broadsword team." Wu Feipeng laughed and said.

Wu Feipeng is telling the truth, the members of the big knife team are generally more than 1.8 meters tall, and Chen Donkey's height is less than 1.7 meters, which is indeed a little short.

"Captain Wu, if you want me to say, in the Chinese Independence Army, the most imposing military flag is the military flag of the broadsword team, the two broadswords are crossed together, how to look at how majestic." Wu Feipeng did not let Chen Donkey join the Broadsword team, and Chen Donkey relaxed and flattered and praised the military flag of the Broadsword team.

"Or you kid has vision," Wu Feipeng glanced at him appreciatively, and then said, "Not to mention the military flags of the four divisions, just the two Praetorian Guard Brigades, the military flags of the two mixed brigades, the military flags of the Tiger Guard Brigade are the White Tiger, the Tiger Brigade is the Black Tiger, the Tianxiong Praetorian Guard Brigade is the Green Dragon, and the Yulin Guard Brigade is the Golden Dragon, their military flags are all animal prototypes, which can compare to the majesty of the two big swords of the Broadsword Team." ”

"What Captain Wu said is that it is still the military flag of the Broadsword Team that is the most majestic." ……

Wu Feipeng was chatting here, Wang Xiaoshan and Li Dawei, Wang Xiaoshan and others also got together to talk.

"Xiaoshan, the prince handed over the Tianxiong Praetorian Guard Brigade to you because you value it, do a good job, don't let the prince down." Wang Dashan patted him on the shoulder and said.

"I'm glad that the prince asked me to be the brigade commander, but ......" Before Wang Xiaoshan finished speaking, Wang Dashan understood what he meant.

He said, "The Tianxiong Brigade is nominally the bodyguard of the prince, but it will still be sent out when there is a war. Didn't you see that even the cavalry brigade was organized into the Praetorian Guard? ”

Wang Xiaoshan thought about it, the Yulin Brigade is the only fully staffed unit in the whole army, and the Yulin Cavalry Brigade with a strength of 3,000 people also has a main cavalry regiment with one person and two horses, as the sharp knife unit of the whole army, Li Mingyuan will not idle the cavalry, thinking of this, Wang Xiaoshan was relieved, and said with a smile, "Brother Li won the first merit in the Arequipa Battle, and the younger brother is here to congratulate Brother Li." ”

"Hehe, Brother Xiaoshan is polite, everyone has become a brigade commander, and they are happy together." Li Dawei said with a smile.

"I don't dare to compare with Brother Li, the younger brother is just a strong school, and both Brother Li and the eldest brother are already generals." Wang Xiaoshan said modestly.

The general military rank of the brigade commander is major general, but the military rank system has just been promulgated, Li Mingyuan did not set the military rank of everyone too high, except for Wang Dashan, Li Dawei, Zhou Daniu and other brigade commanders who have made great contributions to the rank of major general, the other deputy division commanders are all colonels, and the artillery brigade commander Luo Dacang only gave him the rank of lieutenant colonel because of his lack of literacy.

"Xiaoshan, your colonel rank is not small, the total number of major generals in the independent army is only seven or eight, and Luo Zhongguo, who is also the brigade commander with you, is a lieutenant colonel. Wang Dashan Road.

"Haha, I also heard about Luo Cannon, it seems that it is because Luo Cannon is illiterate, so the prince pressed his rank down one level, just now I saw Luo Cannon yelling to let Chief of Staff Liu teach him to read?" Li Dawei said with schadenfreude. ……
