However, for these rebels, in today's troubled times, in addition to the whole training and drills of eating, sleeping, sleeping, eating, and eating, there are also days of entertainment and pastime, which are destined to be only a short moment.

Half a month after the defeat of Xunzhou Prefecture, under the escort of a small group of high-held cavalry, a messenger from Guangfu suddenly arrived in Xunzhou, and also brought an official letter of order from the general; It can be regarded as the characterization of the war that occurred along the way, as well as the post-event recognition and remedial measures.

It was a scroll of silk written on the green forging, read aloud by the gray-haired old rebel messenger in front of the assembled leader; Although he got stuck and mispronounced the words several times in fits and starts, Zhou Huai'an finally figured out most of the meanings.

Zhou Huai'an is also the first time until the year name of the rebel army, and now it is the end of September of the third year of Wang Ba; This is also the era name of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty when Wang Xianzhi died in the Yangtze River after Wang Xianzhi died in battle, and Huang Chao established himself as the general of the Rushing Heaven on the edge of the Yangtze River.

The few hundred and ten words on the notice are mainly posthumously recognized by the Fufeng Battalion and its subordinates as the defense soldiers of Longchuan Town, and more than 3,500 soldiers were allowed to have food and clothing; Wang Pan dropped out on the spot as a general to lead the town defense officer (town general), and the rest were all dropouts, and he was ordered to recruit athletes on the spot and use them to prepare for local thieves; The increase in the number of troops should be required to carry heavy loads, and then they will be allocated along with the supplementary contingent from Canton.

This is like the icing on the cake, and even the current Fury Wind Camp has further expanded the name and rank of the centaurs. Although it is the traditional Yanbian army, city, town, and garrison, and even the small envoys with regimental training and guarding and capture are not comparable, the scope of their duties can be much expanded compared with the original battalion commanders.

But what is surprising is that in addition to Wang Pan in the routine dropout, Zhou Huai'an was additionally named; It is said that he has made meritorious contributions to "detecting traitors and preventing thieves" and "recovering the machine", and the additional rank awarded is from Guiyang (County) Lieutenant under the eighth grade, and he is rewarded with 50 and 5,000 dollars; In addition, another important member of the Raging Wind Battalion, Ding Hui, will soon return to the camp as the deputy commander of the town of Guoyi.

At the banquet table for the messengers, this is an old rebel with gray hair, but still in good spirits, and there are still many relics of the Northland rebels, and he is full of praise and mouth full of oil in the hard dishes made of meat on the table; From this, I also heard a lot of useful information from his mouth.

For example, the upper echelons and power structure of the rebel army in Guangfu seem to have changed, and in addition to the existing three wings under the Great General's Palace, preparations have begun to restore the configuration of the front wing and the left wing, which have been extinct for a long time; In addition, several new envoys and positions were added, such as the Yingtian Division, the Duzhi Division, the Salt and Iron Official, and the Hejin Official, so as to better govern the local area and collect money and grain;

In addition, the main force of the rebel army fought quite fiercely in the west of Guangfu, although it recaptured many prefectures and counties, but also lost a lot of men and horses; Especially for those local regiments, village soldiers, and mountain barbarians who are in turmoil, the rebel armies from all walks of life are very overwhelmed and exhausted;

Although the officers and troops on the front line of Wuling in the north still did not launch a large-scale offensive, the small-scale infiltration and harassment in private were continuous, which made the several rebel troops stationed in Shaozhou and Meizhou a little tight.

Therefore, the changes and riots that have now taken place in these states in the east, except for those places that are still under control, and the two small reinforcements from Mei and Shao, have no room for the time being to send more men to support;

Therefore, in this part of the eastern states near the coast, it can only rely on the furious wind camp that has been intervened to support, deal with and think of solutions on its own; And the minimum requirement is to maintain the current situation, so that it does not become too corrupt.

Therefore, in terms of the specific supply of money, food and equipment, it is easier for the Cantonese side to speak; As long as they can contain most of the enemy's strength, they can basically give priority to raising all kinds of needs until the newly trained men and horses of the military government come in handy.

Moreover, according to his tone, in the next step, after the local peace is re-settled, the military government will send people to come over to carry out some errands of land inspection and household enclosure, and then organize those old and weak in the rebel army to carry out the matter of tuning land and cultivating land together with the displaced people who have been recruited. This is also one of the fuses and inducements for the intensification of the contradictions between the rebel army and the local local tyrants. After all, as many local vested interests, they do not necessarily refine the changes and touches from the outside world.

This situation was not too surprising for Zhou Huai'an, or he had already been mentally prepared, because according to the information he could contact and collect, the rebel army had always been habitually mobile before this, and had never stayed in one place and occupied it for a long time; Therefore, even if the Guangzhou Governor's Office, one of the five pipes of Lingnan, was laid down all the way to the south, in fact, the control over the local area was relatively limited;

Especially in the Lingdong Prefecture, which is a little further away from Guangzhou, it is basically in a rather extensive occupation and governance; It was only assigned to a few corresponding rebel troops, and let them occupy and station in different places to meet the needs of collecting money and grain and recruiting manpower, and then supply Guangzhou according to a certain share after initial self-sufficiency.

However, in the process of moving south, the rebel army mainly only destroyed and swept away the officials and troops stationed in the cities and the existence of the official government on the surface, but it did not touch or change the local tyrants and large families distributed in the vast countryside and towns, and even there were a lot of remnants in the cities;

On the contrary, because the government that originally suppressed and restrained them no longer exists, and in the blank jade disorder where these local forces were able to rule by the regime, they justifiably began to recruit troops and prepare equipment in the name of preparing troops and horses, and even annexing and attacking each other to expand their strength and territory, just like the example of Zhaojiazhai and several other Tutuan armies;

In this Lingnan land, it has always been famous for the barbaric miasma of exiled political prisoners; There are many poor mountains and bad waters, and the people are fierce, coupled with the miscellaneous places of the Tu and Han people, and there are disputes from time to time, almost every village has experience in fighting weapons and weapons. Therefore, once they get a counteroffensive from the outside side of the official and military side, they become all kinds of potential echoes and riot-making forces. In the current situation, it is clear that the time has come for the rebels to pay the corresponding price.

Although this military proclamation, including the miscellaneous subordinate envoys, only gave 3,500 troops, it did not mean that the number of men and horses, which had grown to more than 6,000, would be reduced; In fact, the posts of these various departments of the rebel army have fluctuated and fluctuated in the course of daily profits and losses, as well as additions and decreases. Moreover, according to the environment and conditions of their respective residences, as well as the personal control style and style of the commanders, it is also a tacit norm for some rebels to have long-term shortages or overstaffing.

Therefore, under Zhou Huai'an's timely advice in the short discussion afterwards, these centaurs are also expected to be divided into two categories to be disposed of.

The first category is the 3,500 soldiers in the main quota, also known as the front team; It is also the main combat force that gives priority to the concentration of equipment and equipment, with at least half of the armor rate of all kinds being put on, guns, swords, shields, axes and hammers are basically complete, as well as special horse teams, archery teams, and equipment teams. In addition to the food and clothing for the mouth, there was also a small fixed pay. The number is not much, and it is currently tentatively scheduled to be issued every month and a half month, but it is very important symbolic in terms of institutionalization and regularization. In addition, they have a share of their individual gains and team spoils during wartime.

The second category is to classify all the remaining manpower as garrisons, also known as garrisons; The armaments used to garrison the rear cities and levy local materials, guard the grain platforms, key points, strongholds, and escort and transport are much inferior in terms of the level of soldiers, equipment, and supplies; Basically, there is no armor or only a small armor rate, and most of the lightly armed garrisons are equipped with bows and arrows and shields. In peacetime, these garrison soldiers can also be used as labor to engage in some military operations and miscellaneous matters. They do not receive fixed money and only give the most basic food and clothing, and daily necessities, but the gains and shares when participating in the war are compared with the front team.

"Monk, what you think about is thoughtful."

Wang Pan couldn't help but admire

"What do you think and what do you want to say? ,There's nothing to say.,It's settled.。。 ”

"With these more than 3,000 troops, we will build two more sub-battalions, just the front and back, the left and right middle five roads."

Then he said to the leader of a lieutenant and above

"The middle battalion is still the same (1,000 people), and it's better to take another 1,000 garrisons"

"The soldiers of the left and right battalions (seven hundred) remain unchanged, so they will add eight hundred garrisons each."

"The front battalion is temporarily composed of 500 soldiers, and you can take care of Zhou (Ang) tumor for the time being."

"Prepare more swords, armor, mules, horses, and portable rations, and you will open roads and clear roads for most of them in the future."

"Among them, the 600 soldiers (soldiers) of the rear battalion should be kept for the monks."

"The following team should be arranged by manpower, and it is up to you to arrange it yourself."

"I'm afraid it's not right."

Zhou Huai'an hurriedly refused, why did he point to his head unexpectedly.

"What's wrong, you deserve it."

Wang Pan couldn't help but glare, but he glanced around the left and right

"If there is no monk's ability and this action, where would the camp be where it is today."

"I'm also counting on you to lead the new soldiers in the team to put a little thought into the training."

Then he turned to the other leaders,

"You are also a general truth, you can't just beat people's ideas without expressing them."

"If you should be out, you will be out, and if you should be given, you will be given something."

"They are all their own brothers, and they can't lose their kindness and righteousness."

Thank you for your concern, I will continue to work hard
