Zhang Liang went out to do something, and Zhang Qiang picked up the information that Tian Bin came back.

"The lord is above, Tian Bin reported to you in the enemy camp that the Qing army Hong Chengchou has mobilized more than 50,000 Xiangyong from the nearby military formation, more than 60,000 soldiers from the reorganized green battalion, 50,000 soldiers from the Han army banner, and more than 30,000 Qingzhuang from Houjin Qiding, more than 20,000 Han people in the Mongolian agglomeration area, 50,000 Mongolian herdsmen, 20,000 Manchurian elite infantry, 50,000 Manchurian elite cavalry, a total of 320,000 troops gathered in Yangzhou Mansion to train day and night."

Seeing this, Zhang Qiang was startled, this Qing army is really a lot of people, and it has actually mobilized so many troops, if you add the Qing army that was defeated in the past 100,000 people, this is once again nearly 500,000 troops.

However, it is not a threat now, because in the face of Yangzhou Mansion and the bank of the Yangtze River, Zhang Qiang has fully mobilized five brigades, two cavalry brigades, and more than 100,000 militiamen who have been continuously drawn from Wenzhou Prefecture, Chuzhou Prefecture, Ningbo Prefecture, Shaoxing Prefecture, Jinhua Mansion and other prefectures6 to fill the newly defeated territory of the Chinese Army from Jinhua Mansion to the south bank of the Yangtze River, stabilize the defense, and search for the Qing Army's meticulous work and bandits, soldiers and bandits, as well as local tyrants and squires in those places whose hearts are inclined to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and carry out public security operations.

Garrison troops were also transferred from various state capitals, and each state capital transferred ninety percent of the strength of a garrison battalion, leaving the backbone and deputies to take over the defense, and recruiting wounded and retired soldiers, new recruits, and militia with outstanding performance to supplement the new garrison battalions to replace the elite garrison soldiers who were taken away to defend the garrison battalions of the prefecture cities and the county towns that were transferred.

As a matter of fact, the current garrison battalion has been adjusted, and the garrison of Fucheng is the rank of a staff general, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and the garrison battalion led by it has been expanded to the establishment of a garrison regiment, with more than 1,500 people in a regiment, and more than 1,700 troops in addition to the general's personal soldiers.

The garrison business of the larger county town has been promoted to the rank of garrison officer, with the rank of major, and the strength of the garrison battalion has reached 1,200 people, plus its own personal soldiers has reached about 1,200 people.

In the small county town, the garrison is still a thousand-household official position, with the rank of captain, and the garrison battalion has more than 600 troops, plus nearly 800 troops in the personal army.

Even if the militia is removed, it can still control the local law and order in the core green zone, which has been stabilized, and exterminate the strength of some enemy troops with thousands of men who have broken through.

The garrison of the Huaxia Army is not what everyone generally guesses, the strength of 1,800 people garrisoned at the regimental level in a prefecture needs to be distributed to various places, and then there are hundreds of people left in the city, not like this, but there are so many troops stationed in the city, and other important places must be thousands of troops stationed, the passes and trails below, important official offices, towns and towns because they all have militia stationed, messenger rights, so the general clearing, the garrisoned troops do not need to be allocated to the below, the real garrison troops, Although these forces are under the management of the generals of the government, they do not divide the forces from the generals.

That is to say, it looks like a garrison regiment on paper, but in fact there is no less than half a brigade, or a brigade of 7,500 troops.

Because the Ming Dynasty is not only the territory of the three provinces occupied by the Huaxia Army, Zhang Qiang really hid all the troops below, otherwise there are always so many troops that can be replenished and mobilized in every war, and the gap of the eighteen regular armies that have been formed can be filled at any time, because in wartime, a hundred households in various places, or even a thousand households can be transferred into the army at any time to supplement the losses.

And the defense of that place does not create a force vacuum after the withdrawal of troops, so that those troublemakers with bad intentions can take advantage of it.

The local militia was transferred, and the local garrison was transferred, and the garrison was transferred and the militia was on the defensive.

Both were transferred, and there were other places to replenish the militia and come over to fill the void in the army.

This time, a total of seven prefectures, including Ningbo, Taizhou, Jinhua, Jianning, Chuzhou, Shaoxing, and Quzhou, were dispatched to Jinlingfu, Huizhou, Ningguofu, Raozhoufu, Jiujiang, Nanchang, Ji'an, Guangxin, Yuanzhou, Guangzhou, Ganzhou, Shaozhou, Raozhou, Huizhou, and other border prefectures to lead the militia to defend the localities.

Leave such things as fighting wars to the regular troops.

The advantage of this is that the army has become stronger, and the local armament has not become a vacuum, although the strength has decreased somewhat, but one thing is that the military and bandit expenses are large.

The expenditures are large, the newly opened up territory needs to be restored, population construction is needed, it needs to be filled, more money is needed to do this, and more money is needed for military salaries.

Some of the newly captured state capitals have seized gold, silver, and materials, while others need subsidies from several state capitals in the core area.

Several state capitals in the core area are the provincial capitals of Zhejiang, plus the prefectures of Fujian near the border of Fujian that have been occupied for several years, such as Jianning Mansion, Fuzhou Mansion for a short time, and although it has experienced war, but because it is the former capital of Longwu and Nanming, the economy is not bad, not only can it come up with some money and materials to subsidize other places, but also maintain its own stable operation.

Seeing such intelligence, Zhang Qiang felt that he should organize two more field brigades.

Bai Wenxuan led the newly formed 18th Field Brigade, and Zhang Qiang also had two relatively large guards brigades here, adding one brigade, and after the battle was completed, the field brigade was expanded by more than 1,000 people, making the strength of each field brigade reach 8,500 people, which is equivalent to increasing the strength of the field brigade by 20,000 at once.

The troop now has more than 175,000 troops, and with the addition of two field brigades, the strength of the troops will reach 200,000.

At present, with the addition of the garrison force equivalent to the reserve, the strength of the army is not inferior to that of the Qing army.

However, because of the changes in the general situation, such as the situation where various forces have changed from a two-pattern Qing army camp and the Ming anti-Qing and Ming camp to a scattered situation of princes, then Zhang Qiang had to place heavy troops in other directions to defend everywhere.

The relationship between Lu and the Huaxia Army changed from good to a potential threat, and the two sides were not harmonious, and Tang Dianfeng led two field brigades to face the enemy's hundreds of thousands of troops, hanging alone, where did they need to strengthen their strength, Zhang Qiang transferred the 11th Field Brigade back, three field brigades, plus a detachment of troops stationed, maybe the attack was insufficient, but the defense was at least not bad.

There are five detachments on the coast, and with the change of the situation, the detachments are stationed in a very scattered place, although the naval division also has 6 squadrons to attack the islands on the sea, and the naval squadrons that jump on the ships to fight, but the strength is also slightly insufficient, because the sea frontier is too long.

It was necessary to guard against the Lu State coming from the sea to attack the back of the Huaxia army, so the field brigade troops had to be stationed on the sea to guard against the enemy.

With such a deployment, the fleet is not enough, and it is necessary to build a new fleet, and the new fleet will defend Jinling Mansion, facing the Qing Army Naval Division directly on the shore and the Chongming Island Lu National Naval Division on the flank.

Because Jinling Mansion is the ancient capital of several dynasties, it is of great political significance, so in addition to Wei Wuji sitting in the town, there are three field brigades, surrounded, a garrison regiment mobilized in the past to garrison, and a cavalry brigade stationed in the city.

The other two field brigades were stationed in Huizhou Mansion and Raozhou Prefecture, and there were two field brigades, one stationed on the front line of Jiujiang, one stationed in the rear of Nanchang, one cavalry brigade stationed in Nanchang on standby at any time, and one stationed in Huizhou Mansion to support at any time, so that along the Yangtze River there were seven field brigades and three cavalry brigades.

On He Jin's side, two more were stationed in Guangzhou Mansion, and two newly formed cavalry brigades were stationed in Yuanzhou Mansion.

Help Xuanyuan Longfei's 5th Field Brigade defend against the enemy.

Of the two newly built field brigades, Zhang Qiang prepared one to be placed in Ganzhou Mansion and the other in Nanchang, so that he ran to Jinhua Mansion garrisoned by the Second Guards Brigade, and the troops that could fight in Zhang Qiang's hands were left Xiao Fei's third and occupied the 1st Brigade of the Guards Brigade in his hands.

Zhang Qiang touched his forehead in distress and continued to look down at the letter.

"Lord, 320,000 troops are not counting the 10,000 Khalkha Mongolian cavalry that Haoge will bring 10,000 Khalkha Mongolian cavalry, 5,000 Mongolian cavalry of Horqin, 5,000 Manchurian cavalry of the Qing army, and 20,000 real Qing army foot soldiers, that is the brave and abnormal Haizhou Jurchen between the white mountains and black waters, so calculated, a proper 500,000 troops."

"Nima, what can I do like this? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, but the big deal is that I will also organize the garrison into soldiers and go up to the top. Zhang Qiang complained depressedly, and then began to scold again.

Because the letter reads: "I heard that the Qing army will crusade against the Huaxia army, and I already know that these people in Yangzhou and other places where our army treats landlords, gentry, scholars, and literati policies, connect in series, feast Hong Chengchou every day, contribute money and efforts, and donate tens of millions of military funds to the Qing army, hoping that the Qing army can eliminate our army as soon as possible and recapture the Ming homeland occupied by our army." ”

Can such a thing not be scolded?

Because the so-called policy of shaving the head and making it easy to obey in the Qing Dynasty has reached its peak this year, it is clear that the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty in Yanjing issued a proclamation to resolutely implement and vigorously promote, in such a situation, these people are not rebelling against the Qing army, but helping the Qing army to fight the Huaxia army, how to say that the Huaxia army is also a Han army, they don't help it, but such a clear banner to help the Qing army, but also donate family property, which is unacceptable.

After the anger was over, Zhang Qiang continued to look down, this is Tian Bin's specific description of the 300,000 newly formed Qing army.

"According to the information that has been investigated, our army, that is, the first town of the new army of the Qing army led by the minister, has an establishment of 11,000 people, which is exactly the same as the strength of the 1st Guards Brigade of our army, if you add the enemy's main general, that is, the minister's general, the 2,000 troops of the family, that is, the 2,000 troops of the family, that is, the large establishment of 13,000 people, and the strength is not inferior to the Guards Brigade of our army."

Zhang Qiang snorted disdainfully, "If you learn from me, those who learn from me will die." ”
