The regimental control system of the third regiment is temporarily led by Jiao Lian, and the regimental control system of the fourth regiment is directly led by Wu Jisi, the deputy commander of the fourth regiment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In addition to the four field regiments in the land division of the guards, the commanders of the remaining two Miyagi guard battalions were Lu Shiren, a new army talent who had made great contributions in the Qingyuan rescue operation, and Jesse, the former Chinese leader of the Portuguese mercenaries. Zhu Youlang specially allocated some good seedlings to Jesse's escort battalion to learn the mercenaries' advanced artillery firing techniques.

In addition to the four regiments of the land division, two independent battalions, 14,000 soldiers and horses, there are two sailor regiments in the guard army, a total of more than 5,500 people, most of them are carefully selected from Yu Long's more than 10,000 old departments, in Yu Long's sailors are the most powerful sailors from Tando boat people, those sailors used to be boat people, eat by the sea, take the boat as their home, almost never go ashore for the rest of their lives, eat and live on the boat, although the body odor is heavy, but in view of this reason they can be completely accustomed to the bumps on the water, Even if you encounter strong winds and waves, you can be at ease, and you will not faint or vomit. These Tando boat people, if well trained, will become excellent sailors.

And the most beneficial point for Zhu Youlang is that the identity of the Tanhu, the Tanhu are all untouchables in the Ming Dynasty, belonging to the untouchables, and the descendants will never be able to be scientifically examined, and the social status is extremely low, far inferior to the ordinary good people, so when he knew that there were many sailors from the Tanhu boat people in the sailors' army, Zhu Youlang waved his pen and hooked them all out of the cheap nationality and changed them to good names, and the treatment of the whole army was the same as that of the guards and pro-army army army battalions, and the descendants could join the army in scientific examinations, and they were no longer looked down upon, they wept bitterly, were grateful, and thanked the emperor one after another. In this way, Zhu Youlang did not spend a penny or a knight, and he collected the military heart of the sailor battalion, and in the future, if Yu Long wanted to rebel, it would depend on whether those subordinates from Tanhu would agree.

In addition to the old Yulong division that was incorporated into the water division troops, there were also some prisoners of the Qing army who were proficient in water warfare, plus some of the soldiers of the Beijing Navy Division who were originally there.

Because the number of people is not enough to set up a military town, so temporarily the two regiments are side by side, Zhao Yi General Yu Long is the head of the naval division unit, directly leading the first regiment, and his deputy Gao Lixun directly leads the second regiment, and the two naval divisions have a total of more than 600 large and small warships (mainly small sampan boats), and more than 100 large and small artillery pieces (mainly small tiger squat guns), and the strength is not bad.

To sum up, the total strength of the two divisions of the guards and the army is about 20,000, and the current field strength of the land division is roughly higher than that of the local warlord troops of the Ming army and the ordinary green battalion soldiers of the Qing army, and is lower than that of Li Chengdong's descendant headquarters, and the traitor army of Wu Sangui and the headquarters of King Sanshun, and the strength gap between the Eight Banners of Manchuria is even greater. If they slowly decay within a few years, it's hard to say.

Zhu Youlang felt that only by objectively recognizing the contrast between the strength of the enemy and ourselves could we pursue the advantages and avoid the disadvantages and formulate the most reasonable strategic plan.

In addition to the guards and pro-army directly under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, there are about 20,000 patrol battalions in the control areas of Guangxi and Guangdong, and the composition of the patrol battalion sergeants is relatively complex, including the prisoners of the green battalion of the Qing army who surrendered to Cheng, and the volunteers who were successively incorporated from all over the country and those who were eliminated and homeless because of their physical fitness or conduct when they screened the guards and pro-army (mainly Yu Long's old department), as well as the remnants of the guards such as Guangxi Elephant Guard, Nandanwei, Fengyiwei and Guilin Guard, and some of the Tusi wolf soldiers who were called to guard all parts of Guangxi, with a total number of about 2,000 to 3,000.

These Tusi wolf soldiers are all parts of the Tusi in various places, belonging to the guest army for the Ming Dynasty, they are generally more sincere, and have always been known for not being afraid of strong enemies, brave and good at fighting, but the military discipline is too poor, the composition is complex, embarrassing and useful, in addition to the two or three thousand Tusi wolf soldiers in the patrol battalion have some combat power, the others are basically five scum, not to mention the main force of the Qing army, it is difficult to say whether they can defend the city.

At present, the focus is on guarding the pro-army, so the patrol battalion temporarily uses the old set of battalion system, which directly belongs to the governor's office of the five armies, obeys the dispatch of the military department, and the duty is to suppress bandits and people, guard the place, maintain public order, etc., if necessary, some people can be transferred to fight with the guards and pro-army, cannon fodder also has the use of cannon fodder, which is easily lacking, and can be used to attack the city, clear the enemy's peripheral fortifications, fill trenches, pull out piles, etc., and can also arrange suspicious soldiers, attract enemy firepower, consume their physical strength and equipment, etc., Let the patrol battalion soldiers do these things, which is just right, but if you let the guards do it, it will really kill chickens with a knife, and it is really not cost-effective.

One afternoon in mid-May, the Ming Dynasty was in the military camp in the east of Zhaoqing.

Zhu Youlang changed into a martial arts suit today, this is one of the fourteen kinds of emperor's clothing, such as when the emperor talks about martial arts, expeditions, hunting and military parades, its crown is covered with jade, the upper body is wrapped in a purple and brown corset, the lower part is tied with a white clothes, the feet are black leather shoes, the waist is tied with a jewel belt, and there is an antique and colorful Longquan sword hanging on the side, standing on the high platform of the martial arts arena, Zhu Youlang is already handsome, and with this military uniform, it looks more and more heroic.

The martial arts arena is surrounded by colorful flags, under the high platform, tens of thousands of guards are dressed in bright red mandarin duck battle jackets, neatly arranged in the form of a square team, the breeze blows, the flag hunts, and the colorful flag flutters.

Zhu Youlang said to Jiao Lian, Wu Jisi and the military department Shangshu who were the main and deputy commanders standing beside him, and Zhai Shiyun, the first assistant of the cabinet: "In the past few days, I have worked hard to sort out the guards and patrol battalions. ”
