The practice ground in the backyard Li Mao, Qingmo, and Mo Qi can all be used, Li Mao's disapproval aroused the fighting spirit of the little guy, he trotted all the way over, and said unconvinced: "Don't believe it, this person is familiar with military books, has a lot of research on the art of war, is deep and resolute, decisive in killing, and is definitely a talent who goes out and out of the general. ”

Li Mao walked like the wind, and when he heard this, he asked rhetorically: "Has he led the soldiers?" ”

Qingmo asked rhetorically: "How does Officer Confucius lead the troops?" ”

Li Mao said again: "How is his martial arts, can he ride a horse, has he ever been in the army, or has he governed a place?" ”

Qingmo said: "Zhuge Kongming's lupine scarf, it is said that he can't ride a horse, the general who commands the army of 100,000 will have nothing to do with whether he can ride a horse, as for the martial arts, it doesn't matter, since ancient times, there are many generals who don't know martial arts." Also, can't you be a general if you haven't been in the army? If you say that, you don't deserve to be a general. ”

Li Mao suddenly stood on his feet, looked Qingmo up and down, and sneered: "How many benefits did you accept from him and be a lobbyist for him?" Qingmo patted his thigh and said, "Heaven and earth conscience, if I accept him as your son." ”

Li Mao was stunned for a moment, Qingmo is a little guy with a smooth tone, sometimes he is very unreliable, but he has always been clear in the face of great rights and wrongs, and he spares no effort to recommend Zheng Xiaozhang to himself, which is somewhat interesting.

Qingmo was very uncomfortable by Li Mao, his face was red for a while, and he didn't know where to put his hands. Xiaoru on the side saw it, and hurriedly relieved the siege: "There is water splashed on the ground in the backyard, and it is freezing, so you should be careful to slip." ”

"Hire Zheng Xiaozhang as a staff officer of the Military Academy, you go to revise the letter of appointment, with ringgit, I want to see what kind of person this master who can lead the army of 100,000 and sweep the world, comparable to Zhuge Kongming, is." After Li Mao finished speaking, he pushed open the door of the backyard.

"In the future, he will become famous, don't forget my recommendation." Qingmo's face was full of smiles, and her heart was full of joy.

Zhu Zhenyuan and Zhang Dingfang successively led their headquarters to Yunzhou, Yunzhou is the capital of Ziqing, the place where the Jiedu envoys are stationed in the festival, there are no less than 50,000 troops stationed outside the city, and the 3,000 Qing navy was dismantled into six parts after arriving in Yunzhou, and was stationed in six subordinate counties below Yunzhou.

After the division of troops, there were still 1,000 people left in the garrison of Gushan Town, including 200 people from the city defense battalion and 120 people from the Yuhou army brought by Li Yingtan from Caozhou, and only 680 people belonged to the Qing Navy Headquarters. Originally, the Qing Navy and the military town of Gushan Town were united, the military envoy and the town envoy, under the front, rear, left, right, middle five battalions, now the Qing Navy headquarters and the reason moved to Yunzhou, Gushan Town is only a foreign town under the name of the Qing Navy, the establishment has been greatly compressed, the military government marching Sima to Gushan Town approved the establishment of a battalion and two capitals plus city defense, Yuhou two teams.

The Ziqing Jiedu Embassy only controls the total strength of each army and the establishment at the battalion level, and the establishment of the battalion level and the appointment of generals below the battalion level are in principle determined by the commanders of each army and submitted for approval. Unless it is very unreasonable, the Jiedu Embassy generally does not interfere. In view of the special history of the Qing Navy, Li Shigu gave the new commander Li Mao a privilege: the establishment of the battalion level and the list of commanders and dismissals were also drawn up by Li Mao and submitted to the military government for approval.

Li Mao planned to divide the Qing Navy into four battalions and one team, with Li Yu as the commander of the left battalion, Chen Wanchun as the commander of the right battalion, Xia Chun as the commander of the city defense battalion, and Li Yingtan as the commander of the Yu Hou army (team), and he himself concurrently served as the commander of the Chinese military battalion. As for how to configure the internal configuration of each battalion, it is Li Mao's scope of power.

Among the four battalions, the Chinese military battalion retains the establishment of ten teams, with 50 people in each team; The left and right battalions each retain two teams, each with 50 men per team; The city defense battalion has 20 teams, each with 10 people; Yu Houjun has ten teams, each with twelve people.

Gushan Town lacked horses, and built a horse army in the Hualong era, and then cut it into a team due to the lack of horses, Li Mao cut down this team of horse army, and the horses were all deployed to the capture army. The Catcher Army is the same as the Yuhou Army, it is said to be an army, but in fact there is only one team size, and each battalion was originally equipped with a Catcher Army, but because the establishment of the left and right battalions has been greatly compressed, now only the middle army battalion has a Catcher Army.

When Zhu Zhenyuan left, he gave Li Mao two big gifts, one was to leave the thirty-eight sets of shark skin armor that had accumulated over the years to Li Mao, and the other was to leave all the backbone of the capturing army to Li Mao. His reason was that the capture army would lose its usefulness after arriving in Yunzhou, and these elites of the army who had survived a hundred battles would bid farewell to the battlefield and wait for death in the wine shops and brothels in the rear, which was undoubtedly an extremely cruel thing for them.

Li Mao tripled the size of the Capture Army based on the capture general Huang Renfan and thirty backbones, and Li Mao only kept twelve of the thirty-eight sets of precious shark skin armor for his own soldiers, and the rest were all allocated to the Life Capture Army.

With the fall of the "skull face", the last naval army of the Qing Navy has also become history, Gushan Town is east of the grass lake, in the wet season grass lake is hundreds of square kilometers, even if the dry season belongs to the grass lake lake has more than a dozen square kilometers, in addition to the grass lake as the center, connected to more than a dozen rivers, most of these rivers can be navigable all year round, with these rivers composed of waterways extending in all directions, covering Cao, Yan, Pu, Yun four states, such a vast area is not controlled by the water army, Li Mao thought it was very inappropriate, It is urgent to rebuild the Qing Navy and naval forces.

The pirate den to build a naval army, the most important thing is talent, but without the approval of Yunzhou, Li Mao did not dare to spread the stall too big at first, the naval army is temporarily attached to the Chinese military camp, the establishment is only one team, the "skeleton face" has four warships, only used to maintain the order of the waterway in the east of the city, Li Mao allocated funds to build ten new warships, in addition to maintaining the order of the water surface in the east of the city, but also to crack down on water bandits and robbers who threaten the safety of the waterway, and assist Ma Bujun to control the entire area around Caohu.

After experiencing the cruelty of the mutiny, Li Mao had enough motivation to form a team of pro-soldiers who were completely obedient to his orders, the soldiers were mainly the Yuhou team of the original city defense battalion and some of the backbone of the Simian Street Detective Department, in the selection of the main general, Li Mao initially planned to appoint Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan suggested that Li Mao reuse Qingmo, and use Qingmo's ability to be the leader of the pro-soldier team, Li Mao was relieved, Li Mao was not at ease with his slightly frivolous and impetuous character, after careful consideration, Li Mao decided to make an exception to promote Mo Qi's supernatural power as the leader of the pro-soldier team, and appointed Qingmo as the inspector of the military academy.

Generally speaking, the deputy envoys, marching horses, and judges are the upper assistants, followed by the chief secretary, staff officers, and support envoys, and the promotion officials and inspectors are the lower ranks. The inspector is the last position in the shogunate, but it is much higher than the subordinate positions such as the military officer, the Confucian official, and the important person, and his duties are very complicated, and there is often no fixed position. Qingmo is also very satisfied with this appointment, although he is majestic as the leader of the pro-soldier team, he is not free, which will make him unbearable.

Li Mao accepted Qingmo's recommendation, and officially appointed Zheng Xiaozhang as the staff officer of the Military Academy, and hired Hu Nanxiang as an important member of the Military Academy, taking charge of the books, literature and ink, etc., and also managing the small treasury of the Military Academy.

Shengma and Dong are the main generals of the Chinese Army, and Li Yu, the commander of the left battalion, Chen Wanchun, the commander of the right battalion, and Zhang Qi, the chief general of the Chinese Infantry Army, are called the four major generals of the Military Academy, and the four people are ranked as the first general on the left, the second general on the right, the third general on the left, and the fourth general on the right. Xia Chun is the envoy of the city bureau and the general of the city defense battalion, ranking the fifth general from the left, transferring Chen Lan to the construction general, ranking the sixth general from the right, Zhang Shuan, the general of the Chinese army, ranking the seventh general from the left, Huang Renfan, the general of the Chinese army, ranking the eighth general from the right, the commander of the Chinese army, the veteran general Xue is the ninth general from the left, and the coach of the sabre card is ranked as the tenth general from the right.

The above ten people are all called generals, and the rest of the deputy generals and sub-generals have twenty people each. In terms of military system, the rank of the town commander is equal to the battalion commander under the army, Li Mao has the rank of deputy envoy of the Qing Navy, which is half a level higher than the general battalion commander, and although the battalion commander to which the town army belongs is also called the commander-in-chief, the rank of this commander-in-chief is one level lower than that of the battalion commander of the Qing Navy.

Li Yu and Chen Wanchun were the main generals of the battalion in the Hualong era, and they are still the main generals of the battalion, but their rank is one level lower.

So far, Li Mao has concurrently served as the commander of Gushan Town and the chief general of the Chinese military camp as the deputy envoy of the Qing Navy, and Li Yu and Chen Wanchun have concurrently served as the commander of the left and right battalions of Gushan Town as the Marquis of the Qing Navy. Li Mao also hired Zhang Qi and Zheng Hedong as deputy envoys, Clerk Cheng as the marching Sima, Xiao Chengli as the judge, and Li Yingtan as the Marquis of Duyu. Xiao Chengli also served as a judge and an envoy to the military court. After Zhou Hong, the former judge of the Qing Dynasty Navy Supervision Academy, was promoted to the post of military supervisor, he was stationed in Gushan Town, and another branch was set up to supervise the army in Yunzhou.
