At present, Yun's rail road construction plan has come to an end, and there is no need to maintain such a large road construction team for the time being.

The total number of Yun's road-building team has exceeded 50,000, of which more than 34,000 are prisoners of the Guangming Army, more than 6,000 are young men recruited by the Yun Clan in the three places under his rule, and 10,000 are prisoners of the army of the five great families of Laihe and Erzhou.

It is precisely because of such a large army of road builders that the construction of railway roads in Zezhou can be completed at an accelerated pace.

Every year there are teenagers. People can be selected from among them to become recruits of the Yun army, but the recruitment standards of the Yun army are slightly higher, and after a few years, the total strength of the Yun army has not increased too much, so Yun Yi put his thoughts on these prisoners of the Guangming Army.

In the Great Li Empire, the Illuminati Sect has completely disappeared, and the Holy Son of the Illuminati Sect, Yuan Chang, or the Illuminati (second) sect leader, entered the Kucang Mountains with the remnants of the Illuminati Sect, and it is expected that he has left the Dali Empire and gone to other places in the land of Shenzhou to continue to fight for their ideals.

What's more, Yuan Xin, the saint of the Bright Sect, is still Yun Yi's woman, and this saying has been spread among the prisoners of the Bright Army under Yun Yi's instructions.

In this way, it is not impossible to let the original light sergeant serve Yunyi.

After the completion of the railway road construction plan in Zezhou, according to the previous agreement, these prisoners of the Guangming Army can leave the road construction team at will, and the Yun family listed several options for them:

The first one, go home to farm, they are all from Zezhou, their home is in Zezhou, most of their families are still there, and it is indispensable to go home and farm.

The second is to continue to stay in the road repair team and become a road repair worker, with a monthly salary of 15 silver, bonuses and gifts during the New Year, and his family can be compensated if he is injured or even dies due to work.

The third, as a worker in the factory opened by the Yun family, has a monthly salary ranging from 12 to 15 silver, and the treatment is basically the same as that of road construction workers.

The fourth, join the army, join the Yun army, the monthly salary of the city defense sergeant is fifteen silver, the monthly salary of the Yun family sergeant is twenty silver, the promotion of officers, the monthly salary will be more, and the various benefits are higher than that of the workers, with the record of the Yun army, in Zezhou, there are countless people who want to join the army, but the recruitment standard of the Yun army is slightly higher, and it is not that if you want to join the army, you can join the Yun army, and more than eighty percent of these original Guangming army captives meet the recruitment standards of the Yun army.

In addition, it needs to be explained that the road construction team has always been semi-militarized, not to mention these prisoners of the Bright Army, that is, the young men recruited by the 6,000 Yun Clan, and equipped with weapons, they can quickly transform into an army.

In view of the four choices, in the end, seven adults chose to join the army, one adult chose to stay in the road repair team, and the rest chose to go home to farm and go to the factory opened by the Yun family as a worker, but no one chose it, because the factory opened by the Yun family was either in Yunhua County or Yingzhou, and these people's homes did not have Yunhua County, let alone Yingzhou, and it was better to stay in the road repair team if they went to the factory as workers.

Seven adults, or 24,000 people, chose to join the army, of which nearly 20,000 joined the Yunjia army, and the remaining 4,000 joined the city defense army.

With the addition of these former Guangming soldiers, the total strength of the Yun army increased dramatically, and by the winter of the fourth year of Tiancheng, the total strength of the Yun army had reached more than 94,000 people, including more than 28,000 people in the city defense army and more than 66,000 people in the Yun family army.

The city defense army, equipped only with cold weapons, is an army stationed in various cities in the three places, each city has a minimum of 100 people, and more than 1,000 people, and must cooperate with the government to maintain local law and order when necessary.

Yun Yi, the commander of the Yun army, has jurisdiction over the city defense army and the Yun family army, and is called the general above.

Yun Kui, the left (deputy) general of the city defense army, sits in Yunhua County.

Yun Qing, the right (deputy) general of the city defense army, sits in Zezhou City.

The Yunjia Army, the main combat unit, is mainly composed of firearms, supplemented by cold weapons, and has been expanded to four infantry divisions, two cavalry divisions, and one heavy artillery brigade. (More than 13,500 men in an infantry division, more than 5,000 cavalry in a cavalry division, and more than 2,000 heavy artillery brigades)

Shi Mincai, the left (deputy) general of the Yunjia Army and the commander (general) of the 1st Infantry Division, guarded Helin County.

Lin Zhe, the right (deputy) general of the Yunjia Army and the commander (general) of the Second Infantry Division, guarded Luwei County.

Yun Zhuo, commander (general) of the 3rd Infantry Division, guarding Chasm County.

Yunjing, commander (general) of the 4th Infantry Division, guarding Huicheon-gun. (The only general in the Yun army who is not in the innate realm)

Yun Hao, commander (general) of the 1st Cavalry Division, stationed in the area of Zezhou City.

Chang Jichun, commander (general) of the Second Cavalry Division, is still training in Yingzhou due to the long training time of the cavalry troops.

Wang Tao, commander of the Heavy Artillery Brigade, was stationed in Yunhua County. (Due to traffic constraints, the heavy artillery brigade did not continue to expand)

At present, all sequences of the Yunjia Army have been replaced with the latest types of firearms, and the Lianzhu gun and the runner gun have been installed, but these two new weapons are mainly equipped with cavalry troops, increasing the firepower of cavalry troops, so that the cavalry troops can no longer only be used as an auxiliary to infantry troops, but can have independent combat troops.

In cavalry units, an average of 10 men are equipped with a Lianzhu gun, which is used as a long-range attack; On average, one bazooka is equipped for every 50 people, which is used as a medium-range attack; Each person is equipped with one or two Wheel Guns and two to four grenades for medium and close range attacks; Each person is equipped with a cavalry sword, which can be used as a melee fight.

In addition, the cavalry unit also has an artillery unit, which carries several two-inch guns, which can be used to hit the enemy's city gates from a long distance.

In addition to not daring to impact the infantry division of the Yunjia Army, the rest can fight against it, and the cavalry troops are more mobile, suitable for long-distance raids, even if they encounter a very large number of enemy troops, they can quickly withdraw, you must know that there are few large-scale cavalry units in the territory of the Dali Empire, and only the cavalry troops of the Baode Wang clan and the Yunhua Yun clan exceed 10,000 cavalry.

The cavalry units in the Yunjia army have changed very much, and the infantry units have changed relatively little, for the infantry troops, the standard infantry guns are enough, the infantry guns are as high as 300 zhang of range, and they are shot in three stages, I am afraid that these 300 zhang is a distance that no enemy can pass, and a large number of equipment Lianzhu guns will not improve the combat effectiveness of the infantry troops too much.

The revolver is mainly a gun for officers above the rank of commander in the infantry unit, and the revolver shoots at a relatively close distance, and even the bow and arrow cannot be compared, so it is impossible to become a cavalry unit with a manpower, and only the officer is equipped.

The Yun army's strength has skyrocketed from more than 52,000 people three years ago to more than 94,000 now, and while holding Zezhou, it also has enough strength to open up new territory. 18310
