Jiang Chuan allocated another 200 artillery pieces to Di Qing, including 100 light and heavy mortars.

Another hundred artillery pieces consisted of field guns, long and heavy guns, as well as cavalry guns that accompanied the rapid sorties of the cavalry.

This cavalry cannon has a smaller caliber and less power than the field guns used by the infantry, but it is light in weight and strong mobility, and a horse can be dragged and moved quickly, which is very suitable for accompanying cavalry combat.

Although most of the time the cavalry performed tasks interspersed with outflanking and expulsion missions, there were also times when there were fortifications.

However, the general field artillery was heavier and had a slow marching speed, which did not meet the needs of the cavalry for rapid maneuvering. And this is where the cavalry artillery came into being.

As for Baishan's army to conquer the west, Jiangchuan also added a hundred artillery pieces of various types. Although no trace of foreign troops has been found in the western battlefield, it is necessary to guard against it.

Since the British mercenaries can appear in the Jiangnan battlefield, if there is any French army, the Russian army is not too light.

After all, the theme of this world seems to be war and chaos, very similar to the historical background of the great powers on the earth who fought each other and fought for colonies.

Jiang Chuan still knows too little about the pattern of this world.

Now, in addition to the continent of Zhongzhou, the only things known are the Fusang Kingdom and the English Empire, as well as the Song Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom on the narrow continent south of Zhongzhou.

The two countries and Zhongzhou are separated by a huge mountain range, the Atrium Mountains, which stretch tall.

The Atrium Mountains are as tall as the Himalayas on Earth, and the summit is covered in wind and snow all year round.

Not to mention people, even the tallest goshawk in the air is reluctant to nest here.

Therefore, if you want to cross the Atrium Mountains, this kind of behavior is similar to suicide.

Therefore, the information about the Song and Jin kingdoms is basically fragmentary information obtained through some maritime merchants.

As for other countries on other continents, they are even more ignorant.

It's like playing a game, except for the places that have been explored, all the rest of the place is shrouded in a thick fog of war, and you don't know what monsters are in your previous life.

At present, Jiangchuan has not even unified the Zhongzhou mainland.

According to this situation, Jiangchuan's road to hegemony has just begun.

Therefore, although it seems that Jiangchuan's current strength is very strong, once it is distributed to the entire territory of Zhongzhou, it is very stretched.

In the current situation, there is no way to talk about development.

The prerequisite for development is stability.

The prerequisite for stability is unity.

If you want to be reunified, you must kill both Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. Obviously, it is impossible for both men to surrender on their own initiative. And even if they were willing to surrender, Jiang Chuan would not dare to accept it.

Jiang Chuan's style of these two people is very clear, and it is very common for them to cheat.

So he's either not going to do it, or he's going to do it thoroughly, making these two completely cool.

Therefore, war and chaos will be the theme of the times for quite some time.

Since war is the theme of the times, it is obviously the right thing to continue to expand the army.

After taking the whole into consideration, Jiang Chuan decided to speed up the training progress of the New First Army and at the same time also issued a series of measures to expand and reorganize the army:

First, the 60,000 people who ordered the personal guard battalion and the mountain armor stationed in the capital to begin to change their outfits and reorganize, and to begin to change to firearms units in terms of military structure and weaponry.

The Guards Battalion was upgraded to the Guards Regiment, and the total number of men was expanded from 3,000 to 5,000.

The entire Guards Regiment was composed entirely of soldiers of the Fortress lineage, and was a noticeable reinforcement in terms of numbers.

According to the normal number, this number is actually equivalent to a brigade.

The Guards Regiment had three combat battalions, each of which had a thousand men.

In addition, there is an artillery battalion of 500 people, a guards battalion of 500 people, a logistics battalion of 500 people, and a reconnaissance battalion of 300 people. In addition, there are two hundred medical squadrons.

The establishment of the subordinate units of each battalion is basically the same as that of the New First Army.

The commander of the Guards Regiment was Ji Biao, the deputy captain of the original Guards Battalion, and the rank was awarded to colonel.

The rest of the battalion commanders were awarded the rank of major.

In terms of armament, all the soldiers of the entire Guards Regiment were equipped with pistols and command knives except for officers at all ranks: a spear, a pistol, and a bayonet.

And from top to bottom of the Guards Regiment, everyone has exquisite riding skills, so Egawa equips everyone with war horses.

His goal was to turn the entire Guards Regiment into a rapid reaction force of the era.

After all, in this era when there were no steam engines and no cars, war horses were the fastest vehicles.

In order to meet this goal, the artillery of the Guards Regiment was mainly equipped with fast-moving cavalry guns and light mortars, and a small number of field guns, long and heavy guns, and heavy mortars.

The second is to reorganize the 60,000 Qin troops stationed near the capital of the Shanjia Division, and establish the Beijing Division Garrison Group Army.

The 60,000 men were reorganized into two armies, numbered the 38th Army and the 47th Army respectively.

No one knew why the regent came up with these two names, and when someone asked about Jiang Chuan, he just smiled mysteriously.

The 38th Army and the 47th Army both had an establishment of 30,000 men, each with two divisions under its jurisdiction and the rest of the units directly under the military headquarters.

Shanjia served as the commander of the Beijing Division Garrison Group Army, with the rank of lieutenant general, and also served as the commander of the 38th Army.

The commander of the 47th Army was Liang Chuan, the deputy general of Shanjia, with the rank of major general.

These two armies can be seen from the numbers, and Jiang Chuan's purpose is to build these two troops into ace troops after the reform of the military system.

Jiang Chuan's requirements for these two armies were to be an ace force with both offense and defense, so each army was all infantry except for a cavalry regiment of 3,000 men.

Each corps was equipped with an artillery regiment of 2,000 men, mainly equipped with field artillery, long and heavy artillery and heavy mortars.

Light mortars, on the other hand, were assigned to artillery squadrons under each infantry regiment, which accompanied the infantry in battle.

Only when it is necessary to attack the fortifications or deal with the artillery of the enemy's brigade will the artillery regiment become the protagonist of the battlefield.

And the cavalry regiment was also equipped with a squadron of cavalry guns, armed with twenty cavalry guns.

In addition, each corps has a logistics regiment, a reconnaissance battalion, and a medical brigade.

The reason why these two troops began to be reorganized is because these two troops are in the Beijing Division, and secondly, because these two troops are descendants of Jiang Chuan, and they have no tasks at present.

As for Di Qing's army to conquer the east and Baishan's army to conquer the west, they are currently in the process of attacking, and they are obviously not suitable for reorganization.

If the reorganization is carried out hastily, it will have a very negative impact on the combat effectiveness of the armed forces.

Third, it was ordered that all the recovered state capitals should also reorganize the local armed forces and green forest people in Guishun, and select people from among the prisoners of the Dashun army to be reorganized into local garrisons.
