Yang Xiaolei and Gu Jincheng and a group of children of the health institute who had finished the assessment were waiting nervously, waiting for the results of the distribution of their whereabouts.

"I heard that there are seven divisions in the Governor's Palace, and all the armies in Jiangbei are under the management of these seven divisions. Brother Gu, are you going to go to the Governor's Mansion as a staff officer, or do you want to go down and lead the troops? With your position as a general of the Zhengwupin Martial Arts Festival, there should be no problem if you lead troops to be a sentry. ”

Yang Xiaolei said to Gu Jincheng with a smile.

"It's up to us to decide where to go." Gu Jincheng said lightly.

"Hey, tell me what's tight! Anyway, if I had to choose, I would like to go to the Enemy Intelligence Division, go deep into the enemy's intelligence, and wait for the opportunity to kill the enemy's general, what an exciting thing it would be! Yang Xiaolei said with longing.

"I want to go to the army, and it is the pleasure to lead the troops to fight on the battlefield." Gu Jincheng said lightly.

"Have you heard, it is said that there is turmoil in the salt area along the coast, maybe we have to slow down the matter of joining the company!" Peng Tent came over and said mysteriously.

"We're all in this barracks, how did you hear that?" Gu Jincheng glanced at him in surprise.

"Hey, it's not easy, haven't you noticed, there are ships delivering grain and vegetables from Yangzhou every day, as long as you talk to the person who delivers the grain, you will know everything." Peng Hao said with a smile.

"I think it's appropriate for you to go to the Enemy Intelligence Division to do things!" Gu Jincheng glanced at Peng Yi and shook his head.

Sure enough, Peng Jiao's prediction was very accurate, and in the afternoon, Qian Fenglin, the chief of the staff department in charge of the assessment, announced that one more assessment would be added to the original two assessment contents, and everyone would be appointed to the post of temporary acting general to lead a team of 100 recruits, and then set off with the army to assess them in the actual march and battle for a period of two months, and then decide their positions according to the assessment results.

"In other words, we were all hired by the Pingnan Army?" A disciple of the guard tasted the taste in Gu Jincheng's words and asked first.

"Yes, through the first two assessments, you are all hired by our Pingnan Army, but the specific position, whether to be assigned to each battalion or to the shogunate's divisions, has to be decided according to the results of the last assessment.

Each of you leads a team of 100 people, and you are responsible for a series of things such as marching and camping, and I will arrange special personnel to record the performance of the position, and after two months, I will decide where you are assigned according to your performance.

So, you can use these two months as an internship! ”

Qian Fenglin said with a smile.

"That's it!" Everyone was relieved. This means that everyone has joined the Pingnan Army, as for the level of their positions in the army in the future, whether they can be reused by Pingnan Hou and his old man, it all depends on the performance of these two months.

In the following time, the recruit battalion began to reorganize the recruits, in fact, there was a plan for a long time, and the basic units of the recruits had already been organized, and now it was decided to set up each battalion.

According to the plan of the General Staff Department, the recruits of the Pingnan Army were organized into ten recruit battalions, each with 3,000 people, and the commander of the battalion was called the battalion. The battalion has two posts on the left and right, the commander of the post is the general of the post, the number of each post is more than 1,200 people, and there are five hundred people under the post, the commander of the team is called the general, and each team is divided into two general flags on the left and right, and each general flag is divided into five small flags.

And this batch of hired guards was temporarily in the recruit camp for two months. Of course, none of them had participated in the training of the new barracks, and they were not familiar with the establishment of the Pingnan Army, so they would each be equipped with an assistant.

The officers in the recruit camp were all drawn from veterans of the Pingnan Army, and Xiao Bing, Wang Meng, Li Daozi and others all became battalion leaders.

However, considering that the Pingnan Army needed to maintain a certain combat effectiveness, the original Pingnan Army did not make a big move except for the transfer of a group of experienced officers.

Instead, it was reorganized into the Pingnan Houbiao Battalion, which had a cavalry battalion, two infantry battalions, a training battalion, a sailor battalion, and a newly established artillery battalion, totaling more than 9,000 people. Yu Feng is the cavalry battalion, Jin Xin and Li Yi are the infantry battalion, Lu Tai is the sailor battalion, Li Daniu is the artillery battalion, and Wu Ping is the teaching battalion.

In the future, all officers who were to be promoted from among the ordinary soldiers had to enter the training camp to learn the rules, and the previous batch of degraded officers, such as Li Chengdong and Guo Hu, had already been assigned to serve in the shogunate and the new barracks after passing the test.

The reason why the Pingnan Army was able to organize 10 battalions of recruits in a short period of time and to be able to complete the ranks of officers at all levels was because of this group of reformed and surrendered officers.

Now the scale of the training battalion is very small, with only more than 200 people, so Chen Yue appointed Wu Ping as the deputy chief of the staff department to assist Qian Fenglin in his work.

As soon as Yang Xiaolei, Gu Jincheng and others entered the Pingnan Army, they felt that this army was different, unlike other Ming armies, the generals had great power and great arbitrariness and autonomy. Here, there are many rules, and the power of the generals is greatly restricted.

In general, the 100-man team is always the highest officer, but in fact, there are also pacification officers, logistics officers, ordnance officers, and so on in the 100-man team. The military discipline rewards and punishments in the team are all the responsibility of the magistrate, and the general can always make suggestions but has no decision. The logistics officer is responsible for the supply of military salaries, and the governor supervises it, and the money and food are not the general hand, and the ordnance officer is responsible for the distribution and maintenance of the weapons and firearms in the team.

Each officer performs his own duties, and the division of labor is very detailed, unlike in the general Ming army, where the army chief officer takes care of everything and asks everything.

According to the system of the Pingnan Army, this is always very good, because there is no need to ask about trivial things, but the power is too small. The mere fact that military salaries cannot be passed makes it impossible to embezzle military salaries for personal gain.

This is still the case for a hundred-man team, and it is the same for the general outpost and even the battalion.

In addition to being shocked, all the new generals thought about it, the military system of the Heinan Army was like this, which eliminated the possibility of favoritism by the main generals, and the distribution of military salaries and the supply of soldiers were all taken care of by the shogunate, and the soldiers were no longer vassals of the officers. I don't want to be like other armies, there are soldiers, here, all the soldiers are from Pingnanhou.

With such a military system, as the main general, you only need to think about how to fight, and you don't care about other messy things, so the combat effectiveness is bound to be much higher than that of other Ming armies. And to join the Pingnan army, follow such an army, hold the two Huai, exterminate the thieves, and expel the Manchu Tartars Everything is possible. In the future, it is no longer a dream to soar!

I must perform well, strive to beat my colleagues, and enter the eyes of the old man Pingnanhou, so that I can be promoted and reused as soon as possible, which is probably the common mind of most of the new presidents.

On the third day of being recruited into the army, before these generals were fully familiar with the rules of the Pingnan Army, an order came down from Yangzhou, and Pingnan Hou ordered the new 10th battalion to rush to the coastal salt area to suppress the rebellion in the salt area.
