Chapter 35: Entrustment
After discussing the tactics to be adopted in the future for a while, the topic returned to the moment. Chen Jiang brought it up again, and begged again: "My lord, this time Anren, let me also take the 2nd battalion with me." I promise that I will never do a loss-making business. ”
"2 battalion? What's the use of letting you go with 2 battalions? Besides, how many troops do you have in the 2nd Battalion? Chen Yuan shook his head and said.
"Your Excellency, you don't know. On the Yongping Copper Mine side, there are nearly 700 people in the mine protection team, in addition to more than 100 people transferred to the 1st battalion, there are more than 600 people, which is more than enough to be organized into a battalion. If necessary, recruit more people and reorganize them into two battalions. Chen Jiang said proudly.
"Forget about Anren, let's talk about it depending on the situation. You don't have to be anxious. Chen Yuan glanced at Chen Jiang and Chen Lin, "Together with this battle, Xinzhou's side will soon encounter Meng Yuan's soldiers." In the future, there will be a war to fight. ”
"What about the reorganization?" Chen Jiang asked suspiciously.
"The war is approaching, and it is necessary to complete the reorganization of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th battalions as soon as possible and prepare for war. In order to facilitate the preparation for war in the future, the regimental headquarters of the Tartar Security Corps should also be established. Master, please announce the appointment of the headquarters of the Security Corps. Chen Yuandao.
"Yes." Wang Fuzi took out a piece of paper from his body and unfolded it, and said: "It is hereby decided that the patrol security regiment will be officially renamed the Tartar Expellation Security Regiment, referred to as the security regiment, and there will be several combat battalions under it. Chen Yuan served as the head of the regiment, Chen Shan served as the deputy head of the security regiment, Chen Lin served as the deputy head of the security regiment, and the commander of the 2nd battalion, and Chen Lin served as the commander of the 3rd battalion.
The security regiment has set up a regimental headquarters to lead the work of the whole regiment. The regimental headquarters temporarily set up a training office, a military justice office, a service office, a mission and education office, an intelligence department, and a guard company. Zhao Zhong served as the director of the training department, and Jiao Hong served as the director of the military justice department and the captain of the military justice team; Shi Ming served as the director of the logistics department, in charge of the logistics work of the whole regiment; Wang Gang served as the director of the Mission and Education Department, and the deputy director of the regiment logistics department, and Wang Lin served as the deputy director of the Mission and Education Department; Chen Yong served as the head of the Intelligence Division of the Security Corps; Zheng Daniu is the commander of the regimental guard company. The reading is over. ”
"Yes." The people who read it out in the hall stood together one by one.
"Sit down and talk." Chen Yuan waved his hand, "This time, the division is mainly based on the 1st battalion, and the regimental headquarters is still in the estuary to guide the follow-up reorganization and drills. After the 1st Battalion was released, the rest of the Hekou Battalion, together with the newly recruited township soldiers, formed the 4th Battalion, with Wang Fuzi temporarily leading the battalion commander and Shi Ming as the deputy battalion commander. The appointment of the retired is to be discussed. The 2nd Battalion is still stationed in Yongping, and the 3rd Battalion is stationed in Zixi, continuing to reorganize and exercise, waiting for follow-up orders. ”
"My lord, I don't know how many villagers will be recruited again?" Wang Fuzi asked.
"The matter of recruiting township soldiers is handed over to the county government, and we are responsible for receiving and selecting, reorganizing, and training the conscripted township soldiers. As for the number, 2,000 should be appropriate, but it should not be less than 1,000. ”
"My lord, that's not right. Now, after the 1st Battalion has set out for the battle, there are still more than 800 soldiers in our three places, and even if another 1,000 are recruited, there are nearly 2,000 men, far exceeding the 1,500 men needed to reorganize the three battalions. When Master Wang heard this, he calculated.
After the three battalions were fully equipped, the remaining village soldiers were formed as supplementary battalions to continue training or engage in the construction of mountain camps. Depending on the situation, it will be reorganized into an army or supplemented with the main battalion. ”
"Well, that's a good idea. This person still has to recruit more, and the war is together, and casualties are inevitable. If our unit escapes into the mountains and forests, this personnel replenishment will also be a problem. Master Wang nodded.
"I'll leave the contact with the Yamen to the master." Chen Yuan commanded.
"Okay, with a guy like the master going to deal with the county government, we can't afford to lose." Chen Shan agreed. ‘
"Hehe, rest assured. The old man went and definitely moved out some of the bezoar dog treasures in the county government. Master Wang smiled proudly.
Chen Yuan nodded and continued: "After Anren, all battalions in my lead mountain must be ready for battle, and all workshops and personnel must also be prepared to retreat. The estuary, Yongping, family, materials, and industries must be evacuated to the mountains in an orderly manner. It is necessary to make all kinds of preparations and make all kinds of plans in the deeper mountains and forests, so as to make a retreat in the event of disadvantage. ”
Hearing what Chen Yuan said, everyone's expressions became solemn.
"My lord, didn't you say that this cottage is our fundamental place, how can we abandon it at will? My brothers and I will defend the cottage to the death, and never let the Tartars invade the cottage for a single step. Chen Lin got up and said solemnly.
"Yes, my lord, the Tartars want to enter our cottage unless we are all dead." Chen Jiang also took the case and shouted.
"Haha, don't worry." Wang Fuzi smiled: "The old man thinks what the adults said is very reasonable. In the future, our army will be only a few thousand people at best, and it is far from being the opponent of Meng Yuan. No matter how steep this cottage is, there will be a day when it will be breached, so we must be prepared. In my opinion, it is necessary to build more small villages in the hidden places of the mountains to store food and supplies. As adults say, people save when they lose land, and people and people survive. As long as we are here, this cottage will still be ours sooner or later. ”
Chen Shan, Zhao Zhong and the others all nodded, this Xinzhou City, Yongping County, and Hekou adults are all willing to give up, and what is there to give up in a small cottage.
"Of course, we can't let the Tartars get better. They came to attack the estuary and the cottage, so we could naturally find an opportunity to annihilate some of him, and let them exchange their lives for pieces of dead land. When they are almost dead, they will not be able to hold on to any more places. Master Wang said with a smile.
"Yes, I can't help but make the Tartars feel better. Supplies and personnel need to be evacuated to farther and steeper mountains as soon as possible, so that the Tartars can get an empty village. Of course, it is this empty village, we can't easily give it to Meng Yuan, we have to strengthen the defense facilities, stand on the defense, and retreat after killing and injuring a large number of enemy troops. In the mountains and forests, we set traps. If Meng Yuan dared to enter the mountain, he let him be buried in the mountain. Chen Shan also nodded.
"Haha, Brother Shan's method is good." Chen Lin said with a smile.
"I think it's better for us to use the cottage as bait, lure the Tartars to attack, and then come to a fire attack and burn the Tartars to death in the cottage. As long as they are hit hard, they will not dare to enter the mountains easily to deal with us. Master Wang's eyes rolled and he smiled.
"You have to figure it out for yourselves. I only ask for one thing, I can't do a loss-making business. If we lose the estuary, we still have a cottage, and if we lose the cottage, we can still escape into the mountains. Even if we can't stay in the mountains, we can still go to Fujian Road, as long as we are here, there is hope. Chen Shan, Master Wang, the family will be handed over to you. Chen Yuan waved his hand.
"Don't worry, my lord, with Chen Shan in one day, I will definitely not let Meng Yuan copy our belongings." Chen Shan cautiously promised.
"Lord Meng believes in it, Wang Gang is just dead." Master Wang also got up and arched his hand.
"Well, I'll leave everything to you in Lead Mountain." Chen Yuan stood up and bowed.
