Chapter 34 Establishment of sub-battalions

Rao has vomited many times, as long as he sees the bloody head, Liu Sanshui still feels nauseous.

He could never forget the look in the eyes of the death row inmate when he was dying......

The death row inmate Liu Sanshui killed was about the same age as him, but slightly stronger.

When Liu Sanshui's waist knife penetrated the chest of the death row inmate, that desperate and unwilling look made his heart palpitate for a while.

Perhaps this death row inmate had a lot of blood on his hands, but he was still as cowardly as a giant rat when he himself faced death.

Maybe that's the fragility of life.

In the end, the head was cut off with the help of Wang Fugui, so Liu Sanshui accepted his favor again.

Fortunately, Liu Sanshui finally passed the examination and became an official member of the Shence Army.

After that, he had the opportunity to return the favor.

Zhao Xin is generally satisfied with the performance of the trainees. Of the 10,000 people, 8,000 were beheaded on death row, and 2,000 were eliminated and dismissed, which is already a very good ratio.

Everyone who cut off the head of a death row prisoner became a member of the Son of Heaven's army, and the most important task next was to organize these 8,000 people into the barracks.

According to the emperor's wishes, the Shence Army was organized into four battalions, namely Xuanwu, Shenwu, Xiaoguo, and Tianqi.

His Majesty the Emperor intends to emulate the Qi family army to build a divine army, so the army also draws on a lot of Qi family army's ideas.

The smallest combat unit in the Shence Army is the first unit, which consists of a commander and four ordinary soldiers. In addition to the ten members of the two teams, there is also a captain and a firefighter who is responsible for cooking. There is a sentry above the team, and a sentry governs four teams, and there is a sentry commander in the team. In addition, His Majesty the Emperor also made a slight improvement, adding a propaganda soldier to each outpost, mainly responsible for the political and ideological work of the soldiers.

The post above the post is the bureau, with a hundred generals and a hundred commanders.

Above the bureau is the division, with a general commander and a command of 500 troops.

The division is above the department, with a thousand generals and a thousand soldiers.

Above the department is the battalion, and the battalion is set up in general, which is equivalent to the battalion commander in the border army.

It's just that the battalions of the border army can be divided into regular barracks, odd barracks, reinforcement barracks, and guerrilla barracks.

Among them, the main barracks are under the command of the general army, the odd barracks are under the command of the deputy generals, the reinforcement battalions are under the command of the staff generals, and the guerrilla battalions are under the control of the guerrillas, and the number of people varies.

When it came to the Shence Army, the four barracks under its jurisdiction were all the same number, and 2,000 people were approved. The battalion commanders of each battalion are also equal, and there is no such thing as who is superior to the other.

After Zhao Xin dealt with the recruitment of the Shence Army, he went to the palace to report to Zhu Cihong.

Knowing that 8,000 out of 10,000 people had passed the assessment, Zhu Cihong was still very pleased.

It seems that this Zhao Xin is not only loyal, but also very capable.

It was not in vain that Zhu Cihong asked Zhao Xin to temporarily serve as the commander of the Shence Army and command the four battalions.

Of course, Zhu Cihong also knew that Zhao Xin was the commander of Jinyiwei and the commander of the Shence Army at the same time, so that his energy might not be enough, and it was not in line with the checks and balances of the imperial power, but the Shence Army was the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and the commander was very crucial, and Zhao Xin could only be used before selecting an absolutely trustworthy henchman.

Maybe Qin Gongming is a good candidate, but now that he is stationed in Dezhou, Shandong, and Donglu is eyeing Shandong, Zhu Cihong can't directly transfer him back.

In order to cultivate the sense of honor of the soldiers of the Shence Army, Zhu Cihong also established a military rank system following the example of later generations.

It's just that the specific military rank is determined by combining the martial arts rank and martial arts rank of the Ming Dynasty.

The highest rank of an officer is the Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses, referred to as the Generalissimo, and only one Son of Heaven is awarded.

The generalissimo is the marshal, and it is a product.

The marshal was under the hussar general, from a product.

The hussar general is the general of Fengguo, and he is the second grade.

General Fengguo is an auxiliary general, from the second grade.

The auxiliary general is the general of Dingguo, and he is the third product.

The general of Dingguo is the general of Zhenguo, from the third product.

General Zhenguo is General Zhaowu, who is the fourth product.

General Zhaowu was under the captain of the light car, from the fourth grade.

The captain of the light car is the captain of the upper ride, and he is the fifth grade.

The upper riding captain is the lower riding captain, from the fifth grade.

Xiao Cavalry Captain is a flying cavalry lieutenant, and he is a six-pin.

The flying cavalry lieutenant is the cloud cavalry lieutenant, from the sixth grade.

The cloud cavalry lieutenant is a martial cavalry lieutenant, and he is the seventh grade.

The captain of the military cavalry is the captain of Chengxin, from the seventh grade.

The military rank system will be implemented in the Shence Army first, and then in the whole army when the time is ripe in the future.

At the moment, the most important thing is to improve the combat effectiveness of the Shence Army, and this is achieved through a lot of training.

Zhu Cihong decided to basically follow Qi Jiguang's training method.

Qi Jiguang's sharpest formation is the Mandarin Duck Formation.

The Mandarin Duck Formation emphasizes the coordination of multiple arms and hot and cold weapons.

In this way, when engaging the enemy's army, your own army can use complementary weapons to gain an advantage.

In order to adapt to the future showdown with Dongyu, Zhu Cihong made certain modifications to it. First of all, the four battalions of the Shence Army were divided into two infantry battalions, a cavalry battalion and an artillery battalion.

The Xuanwu and Shenwu battalions are infantry battalions. Xiaoguo is an artillery battalion, and Tianqi is an artillery battalion.

In the case of cavalry battalions, the most basic combat unit is a squad rather than a platoon. A squad of 12 people. There is a captain, a flag gun, a waist knife, a pair of double inserts, and a flag; There are two bird guns, served by the captain, each equipped with a bird gun and a saber; There are four pikemen, each equipped with a spear; There are two boring and palladium hands, each equipped with a boring palladium rod and 30 rockets; A fireman, equipped with a wooden stick and a knife to dispel the head, in addition to being responsible for cooking, he also takes care of harvesting the head during the war.

The infantry battalion is divided into killer and gunner. Whether it's the killer team or the gunners, it's a team of twelve.

Among them, the killer team has a captain, equipped with a flag gun, a waist knife, a double insertion, and a flag; Set up two rattan players, each holding a rattan card, with a waist knife; Set up two wolf whives, each with two wolf stalks; There are four pikemen, each with a spear and a double insertion; There are two boring and palladium hands, each with a boring palladium rod and 30 rockets; There is also a fireman.

Among them, the gunner team has a captain, equipped with a flag gun, a waist knife, a double insertion, and a flag; There are 10 bird guns, each holding an arquebus and a waist knife; There is also a fireman.

The artillery battalion is more special, because the artillery battalion usually fights under the cover of the cavalry battalion and the infantry battalion, and will not directly face the impact of the enemy, so the armament is relatively simple. Among them, there is a captain, equipped with a flag gun, a waist knife, a pair of double inserts, and a flag; There are two boring and palladium hands, each with a boring palladium rod and 30 rockets; There are eight gunners, who are responsible for the firing of the Franc machine gun and the Tiger squat gun; There is also a fireman.

Among the four battalions, the easiest to train is the infantry battalion, because it requires fewer firearms, and it is basically a mandarin duck formation cold weapon formation change exercise.

The cavalry battalion was second. Because soldiers have to adapt to cavalry combat, the training cycle is longer than that of an infantry battalion.

The most difficult to train is the artillery battalion.

Despite the fact that its class is relatively single, it takes a lot of time to train a qualified gunner.

For this reason, Zhu Cihong did not hesitate to send all the Portuguese mercenary artillerymen in Nanjing to serve as instructors in the Shence Army to teach the recruits of the Xiaoguo Artillery Battalion artillery shooting techniques.
