Zhang Qiang's guard regiment is a new establishment, which used to be a pro-guard unit with a battalion-level establishment of more than 800 people, but later changed to 1,500 people, with some subsidiary units added.

A 100-household engineer company uses strong pack horses for material support, and there are more than 500 horses in a 100-household 200 people.

A herald scout battalion, equipped with sabers, bows and arrows, short muskets, and one man and two horses, carrying a small flag only heralds on their backs, so that all parties and units can be identified.

The herald barracks of 500 people are an important department for Zhang Qiang to control and accept the news of the armies and cabinets and localities, so they are all relatively elite, maybe they can't fight, but when it comes to escaping, lurking, sneaking, talking about people, talking nonsense, abducting and deceiving, everything will be done, all of them are clever and literate veterans selected from various armies.

A spear battalion, which is a magic weapon for charging into battle and fighting against the enemy's cold-weapon cavalry, is equipped with refined equipment, basically a full armor, from head to toe is an iron pimple, and the spear is also a steel spear, rushing up, no one can stop it.

Of course, there were two special cavalry battalions, the dragoon battalion, equipped with brand-new flintlock muskets, musketeers when dismounted and cavalrymen on horseback, with steel scimitars and new flintlock pistols hanging from their waists.

The cavalry battalion is equipped with crossbows and bows, short firearms, sabers, shields, and swords and shields in close combat when dismounted, and general cavalry in charge when mounted on horses.

As a result of this change, the number of guards regiments will be much larger.

The four battalions totaled 2,800 men, plus an engineer company, 3,000 men, plus a baggage company, a pack horse baggage company, and a dozen or dozens of attendants, bringing the total number to more than 3,300 men.

The establishment is oversized.

Sometimes Zhang Qiang felt that he should give up the command of the Guards and take this guard regiment specifically.

At the heart of these forces were the chasseur and dragoon battalions.

Zhang Qiang's coaching skills have not been put down, and all the elite soldiers who have been added to the guard regiment have been trained by him personally, and he is loyal to himself.

Zhang Qiang did not bring the Guards Brigade because the Guards Brigade had to do a good job of defending or taking over the work of seven or eight brigades of the field brigade stationed on the bank of the Yangtze River, plus tens of thousands of garrison troops and several cavalry brigades.

The Huaxia Army has embarked on the right path, there is Zhou Congee in internal affairs, and Wei Wuji leads the troops on the front line, Zhang Qiang can leave safely during this period, without worrying and being caught off guard by the enemy, even if the enemy goes to war, Wei Wuji and Zhou Congee, as well as a cadre of the cabinet can discuss the transfer of troops, except for Zhang Qiang's guard brigade, they can't be transferred, other field brigades, Wei Wuji can be mobilized, and the local garrison troops and militia cabinets can also be mobilized, so as to ensure the accessibility of troops and government orders.

When he arrived at Tingzhou Mansion, Zhang Qiang saw Lin Chengcheng, who was already a little rich at this moment, and was no longer the leader of the peasant rebel army who was sleeping in the open air, panicking all day long, worried about being chased by officers and soldiers.

As a military governor of a prisoner camp and a forced labor battalion directly under the Ministry of War, although he had to deal with the audit of the household department, the evaluation of officials in the Ministry of Officials, the review of his behavior by the Ministry of Rites, the supervision of the Ministry of Supervision, the investigation and monitoring of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the need to obey the orders of the Prime Minister, he still did a good job.

Even under such pressure, he still did a good job, cooperated with the center and local of the Huaxia Army, did a lot of work, and made great contributions to the Huaxia Army.

It can be seen that Lin Chengcheng doesn't care about such strict supervision at all, because he is equivalent to a prison director, and his power is still very large, and he has jurisdiction over all the prisoners of war in the entire Huaxia Army, and the number has been mentioned earlier about five or six hundred thousand.

As long as he doesn't make mistakes in the big festival, Huaxia Jun still allows him to be greedy, not as greedy as Zhu Dadian.

Tingzhou Mansion has no traces of war, has become a prosperous city, with a population of about 300,000 people, the end of the war, the fleeing people have returned one after another, plus from the Qing army where continue to receive the people of the Ming Dynasty, soldiers, Tingzhou Mansion has been revitalized.

The post road has been cultivated here from Jinhua Mansion, and has run through the north and south, east and west, Nanchang and Jiujiang in Jiangxi in the north, and Quanzhou Mansion and other places in the south.

There were not many prisoners in the Tingzhou Mansion, because they were all distributed, mainly important prisoners in the hard labor camp, where a garrison regiment, plus a cavalry regiment, and a militia brigade were stationed, enough to deal with tens of thousands of prisoners.

After staying in Tingzhou Mansion for half a day, the guard regiment went south again, but it reached the periphery of Xiangshan in two days.

Su Guansheng first took his delegation back to Zhaoqing Mansion to restore Longwu.

What was taken away was the materials that Zhang Qiang supported him, a cavalry battalion and a militia battalion escorted the supplies, on the territory of the Huaxia Army, this is already a very safe thing, and there will definitely be no problems.

"The Fourth Fleet Staff General Ruan Shu visited the Grand Governor," arrived at Xiangshan, Zhang Qiang saw that Xiangshan had become a ruin, and the traces of the battle were like yesterday, and the officer of the Fourth Fleet, Ruan Shu, came to him and explained the battle process to him.

Xiangshan was not the focus of the Portuguese garrison, only some common Western fortifications, pillboxes, breastworks, moats, and the walls of the county town were blown down.

In the face of the heavy artillery on the fleet, a small county town could not withstand such a large fire blow.

A group of people from Xiangshan, most of whom were Ming people, were escorted out, the people of the navy were on the boats, the men of the marines were on guard near the county seat, and the militia from Quanzhou and Zhangzhou were cleaning up the wreckage and cleaning up the battlefield.

Looking at the sea, the island across the sea has also been occupied, there are people from the navy team and soldiers of the Marine Corps on guard, and the militia troops have landed on the island and escorted the people above, most of these people are not good citizens, they are all rebelling against the Chinese army, they themselves may be pirate families, or they may be immigrants from Japan, these people are going to be sent to the hard labor camp.

Lin Yangcheng also sent people to take them in, and these people will be sent to the inland, the most dangerous places, to work to death, and then emigrate from the interior, of course, those displaced people and refugees, plus those veterans who have retired from the army's naval divisions, to form new villages and communities of residents here, or maybe the Mongols who were captured from the northern steppes have been reformed and sent here to live together to form a new Han group.

Look at the other side of the river, where the battle is still going on, the artillery fire is in the sky, the shouts of killing, the screams are bursting, and the fighting still does not stop.

Zhang Qiang said to Ruan: "Let You Haibo move more than a dozen large villages living by the river from the hinterland, and staggered resettlement with them, but don't disrupt them, let the people here completely become our good citizens, without permission, if you see anyone who is not our Chinese army and Han people, all of them will be arrested and sent to justice, and those who should be imprisoned will be imprisoned, and those who should be sent to prisoner camps will be sent to prisoner camps, and before a new order is issued, they will all be carried out according to this method." ”

"Yes, Grand Governor," Ruan Shu gave a military salute.

"Arrange more militia to guard the shore, so that the enemy does not have the opportunity to land and raid us from here, and your fleet must also patrol the coast day and night, and do not let the enemy's ships pass through your defense area."

"Understood." Ruan said.

"Well, I have ordered you to form the 21st Field Brigade, and the backbone of the troops will be drawn from the two teams of your fleet.

Officer, take half of it from your team, and the other half, I will leave you a hundred soldiers of my personal guard, and as for the source of soldiers, I will draw and supplement from the militia that performed well this time, and if it is not enough, go to You Haibo and He Jin, and let them draw elite supplements from the garrison force, and you will temporarily take charge of this field brigade and station it here to guard against the enemy.

The field brigade is a B-level field brigade, with a full strength of 7,800 people, you are in charge, but you can't be too low, I will promote you to deputy general. In the future, someone will manage this field brigade, you will still be the adjutant general, and the other party will be the staff general. ”

"Governor Xie," Ruan Shu was very happy to hear that he had been promoted.

Xiangshan had been recovered and swept away by the Huaxia Army, and Zhang Qiang went to Guangzhou Mansion with the guard regiment.
