Chapter 2 The Tiger and Wolf Nirvana Became an Army

Section 3 The Eight Major Guerrillas of the Hanwei Army

When Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Wen Poyu and other eight people heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and said secretly: "Finally talking about the establishment issue, it's been a long wait!" Then, everyone was so excited that their faces flushed, and they looked very excited, and they all looked at Liu Yunwei.

The expressions of several people naturally couldn't escape Liu Yunwei's eyes, and Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "It seems that everyone can't wait, okay, I won't sell it, and I'll get straight to the point." A few days ago, I had already written to the Ministry of War and promoted Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, Gao Hongguang, Wang Dangdang, and Huang Fuming to guerrilla generals, and Wang Bo, Jiang Wentian, Liu Jinhui, Lan Yuan, and Li Mingzhi were also promoted to the rank of general manager, and I believe that the Ministry of War will soon approve their return. Therefore, the reorganization of our Hanwei Army will also be based on this, and the whole army will be divided into eight guerrilla battalions that can fight independently, plus the general town standard battalion directly under me, a total of nine combat battalions! Each battalion is subordinate to a thousand battalions of different arms, and will also be equipped with several auxiliary battalions composed of guards to be used as a supplement to the troops. ”

After hearing Liu Yunwei's idea, Lu Ying and the other eight people, as well as Yuan Mingxuan, Sun Yuanhua, and Chen Zitong, were all secretly shocked: "The little general's appetite is really big!" ”

According to Liu Yunwei's concept, after the reorganization of the Hanwei Army is completed in the future, any guerrilla battalion pulled out, counting all the subordinate troops, it will be enough to fight a battle, and they will all be able to take charge on their own! Where does Liu Yunwei want to build the Hanwei Army into a battalion like the Qi Family's Army? This is clearly the model of the Yuejia army to carry out the reorganization, Liu Yunwei clearly wants to imitate the Yuejia army's lone Northern Expedition Jin people, in the future when the Northern Expedition builds slaves, the Hanwei army can sweep Liaodong with its own strength!

It's no wonder everyone was stunned!

Liu Yunwei continued: "Since our Hanwei army annihilated Zhao Zhenren's troops, the officers and soldiers of all the departments have been damaged, and there has been no replenishment of troops. Now, our Hanwei Army has a total of 38,552 soldiers, and I have brought back from Sichuan 3,000 personal guards composed of the children of the Liu family and the soldiers of the Sichuan Army, plus 180,000 prisoners, and the strength in our hands will reach an unprecedented 221,552 people in this reorganization! ”

Hearing this, not to mention Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, Wang Dangdang and others, even Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Yuan Mingxuan, Sun Yuanhua and others, who have always been calm, are short of breath and sweating on their foreheads! If these horses can be trained, then the strength of the Han Wei army will reach a very terrifying situation, in that case, why worry about the construction of slaves!

"But don't be too excited, these more than 220,000 people are just a total number, before Master Chen, they have carefully screened, and all the prisoners who are weak, disabled, and military oil and ruffians have been eliminated, and all of them have been transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and turned into military households." Liu Yunwei saw that everyone's minds were a little hot, so he poured a basin of cold water at the right time.

Everyone was a little disappointed when they heard this, and Zhao Kaishan hurriedly asked, "Big brother, how many people are left?" ”

Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "A total of more than 21,000 people have been eliminated, and we still have about 200,000 troops that can be reorganized. ”

"It's fine! OK! The clan that exterminates the Tartars should be enough. Zhao Kaishan said with a worried face. Everyone felt very funny when they saw Zhao Kaishan's expression, and they immediately burst into laughter.

Liu Yunwei also smiled, and then motioned for everyone to be quiet, and continued: "Now I will talk about the specific establishment:

"The establishment of each infantry battalion is as follows:

Five people are a team, and there is a team chief, and there are six people in a team;

The three teams are a team, with a team leader, and a team of 19 people;

The three teams are one flag, with a total of one flag, and a total of 58 people in one flag;

The three flags are a game, with a total of 100 people, and a total of 175 people in a game;

The three bureaus are a division, with a total of 526 people;

The three divisions are one department, with a total of one thousand, and a total of 1,578 people;

Each thousand general will also be accompanied by a personal guard composed of a hundred soldiers, and fifty night guards; Therefore, a thousand battalions had a total strength of 1,728 men.

Each of your guerrilla generals commands three infantry battalions, one of which is armed with firearms and two are melee battalions. As for the formation of the cavalry battalion and the infantry battalion, I will not say more.

In addition, I plan to have an artillery battalion for each guerrilla battalion, but the gunners needed for each artillery are not considered for now, after all, the number of artillery guns that each artillery battalion will be equipped with is uncertain. Therefore, what can be determined now is the number and establishment of escort officers and men attached to each artillery battalion. I decided that the guards of the artillery battalion would continue to follow the example of the infantry battalion, and the strength of the same force would be 1,728 men, with one division equipped with bird guns and the remaining two divisions equipped with melee weapons. In this way, it can be guaranteed that each artillery battalion will be able to fight alone without the protection of a large army, and at least there will be a certain amount of self-protection!

Finally, I will also equip each guerrilla battalion with a baggage battalion, which will remain the same as the infantry battalion, with 1,728 men.

In addition to these combat battalions, I consider providing each of your guerrilla generals with a division of soldiers, a division of soldiers, and a total of 180 craftsmen and healers responsible for repairing equipment.

In this way, you eight guerrilla generals will have a heavy army, and each of you will have a force of 11,420 men. This kind of strength is already more than the vast majority of guerrilla generals and even garrisons, and it can already be compared to the general army, and I think you will all have to go sideways in the future. ”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Then, Liu Yunwei looked at Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, Gao Hongguang, Wang Gandang, and Huang Fuming with a smile, and saw that everyone was shocked and surprised, and couldn't help but smile and said, "What? Is there too much of a force allotted to you? Are you worried that you won't be able to rule it? ”

"Nope! No! ”

"How so?"

"Big brother, don't get me wrong!"

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly opened their mouths to explain, like a group of children who were worried that the candy in their hands would be snatched.

Yuan Mingxuan and Sun Yuanhua burst out laughing when they saw this. After that, Yuan Mingxuan asked, "Little General, what about the troops directly under you?" ”

Liu Yunwei said: "My own direct troops, in addition to the Longxiang Iron Cavalry, will also have three thousand infantry battalions, the same one firearms battalion, two melee battalions, as well as an artillery battalion and a baggage battalion. There will also be two hundred and sixty craftsmen and healers. ”

Chen Zitong hurriedly got up and saluted, and said, "Thank you for the promotion!" ”

Liu Yunwei smiled and waved his hand, and continued: "As for the Longxiang Iron Cavalry, I am going to reorganize the three thousand Erlang I brought from Sichuan, and together with the previous soldiers, reorganize the five thousand Iron Cavalry. With the rest of the troops, there should be 13,900 troops under my command. ”

Sun Yuanhua pinched his fingers on the side and calculated, and said: "According to the little general's plan, if the reorganization is completed, our Hanwei Army will be divided into eight guerrilla battalions and one pacesetter battalion, with a total of 105,260 soldiers!" The army is extremely strong, but how to solve this food and salary problem? How long can the money and food in our army last? ”

At this time, Liu Yunwei looked at Chen Zitong with a smile, and saw Chen Zitong say with a smile on his face: "In this anti-corruption campaign, in addition to the more than 4 million taels of money and grain handed over to the imperial court, there are still 3.8 million taels of silver left in the army, as well as 300,000 stone grains!" ”

"What!" When everyone heard this, they all let out an exclamation.

Liu Yunwei said: "I asked Master Chen to keep it secret, after all, there are a lot of difficulties in front of our Han Wei army, and it is really difficult to move an inch without money and food, so I secretly left some." ”

Then, Liu Yunwei said to Sun Yuanhua: "With these food and salary guarantees, even if the affairs such as reorganizing soldiers, building weapons, and carrying out tuntian are carried out at the same time, I will be able to support it until this time next year!" ”

Sun Yuanhua still frowned and said, "Then what will happen in the future?" What if we run out of money and food next year? You know, the imperial court won't give us money and food until three years later! ”

Liu Yunwei may be confident, and said indifferently at this time: "Wait until next year, Juntun and Mintun will be able to harvest, and after the 100,000 displaced people achieve self-sufficiency, we can save a lot of money and food; The grain harvested by the military cantonment can be used to supplement other expenses. As for the remaining difference, let's talk about it then, there is still a year to think of countermeasures! ”

Sun Yuanhua still wanted to distinguish one or the other, but was interrupted by Liu Yunwei, only to hear Liu Yunwei say: "The remaining 100,000 captives will all be converted into guards, and they will immediately prepare to start the military cantonment, and the grain obtained will be divided into thirty or seven, and the soldiers will be left with thirty percent of self-sufficiency and military salaries, and the remaining seventy percent will be handed over to the general military office; In addition, during the off-season, these 100,000 soldiers will undergo drills and be reorganized into 57,000 general battalions according to the establishment of infantry battalions, including 17 firearms battalions and 40 melee battalions, which will be used as reserve troops. In the future, if a guerrilla battalion goes on an expedition, a part of these reserve forces will be drawn from the army according to the situation. ”

Lu Ying exclaimed: "In this way, we have 200,000 troops in hand!" ”

Liu Yunwei nodded and said, "That's right! 200,000 troops! Then, Liu Yunwei stood up abruptly and said loudly: "Gentlemen, our Hanwei Army is about to experience a great change in Nirvana, and the day when the Hanwei Army is reborn will be the time when we will send troops to the Northern Expedition!" The Han family has 200,000 people, who dares to stop it in the world! ”
