Chapter 20 The Han Banner
The money is there, the food is there, and there is no shortage of weapons, now Liu Chen's most lacking is people, people who can become warriors, from the third day after the defeat of the Dongying people, Liu Chen while Meng Tian, Meng Yi and others according to his designated training, training those new more than 1,000 soldiers, while letting people visit everywhere and recruit troops everywhere!
The Chengshan Army originally had more than 900 soldiers, but after the First World War, nearly 300 people were lost, and then nearly 200 people under Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and more than 1,000 new slaves joined, and the soldiers of the Chengshan Army suddenly reached 2,000 people.

Of course, Liu Chen did not forget the reserve team formed by the teenagers of the Chengshan Army, and Liu Chen promised them that they could participate in daily training, and once they were eighteen years old, they could join the army if they wished.
Because the army is in a state of training for the time being, and it is going to be expanded, so Liu Chen has not yet reorganized the army, or only the previous five squadrons, of course, it is not static, at least one more cavalry squadron, led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he is ready to wait for the army to reach a certain level, and then reorganize the army.
The Chengshan army defeated more than 3,000 Dongying people in one fell swoop, this battle did not take three days, and it had already been spread within a radius of 200 miles from the Chengshan military village, and many hot-blooded young people rushed to the Chengshan army to join the army, they already had the intention of killing the enemy, but there had been no strong people who could integrate such a force before, and now the Chengshan army showed its strength, and those young and middle-aged people also began to act.
In just half a month, the Chengshan Army has recruited more than 3,000 people, and the Chengshan Army has also reached the scale of an integrated battalion in the Eastern Dragon Empire.
However, even if Liu Chen stopped, there was still a steady stream of people coming, and there were many people who came with their families and mouths, and there were not a few people who moved their families, they felt that the Chengshan army was very strong, enough to protect them from being bullied by the Dongying people, so the range of Chengshan Military Port has gathered more than 30,000 people.
Seeing this, Liu Chen also had a headache, it was okay to fight, in terms of managing the population, Liu Chen admitted that he was a little worse, so he thought of a person, over there was Xu Mu and Old Man Xu, but Liu Chen also knew that it was not a long-term solution to let Old Man Xu go out, so he urgently needed a talent who could manage civil affairs and logistics, but before, he needed to reorganize the army.
In a large tent that is enough to accommodate twenty or thirty people, Liu Chen is the first, on the left hand side Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Li Xin, Luan Bu, Chen Ying, Ding Fu sit in turn, on the right hand, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xiahou Ying, Sima Xin, Liu Qi also sit in turn, Xiahou Ying, Sima Xin, Liu Qi all came from behind, Liu Chen first knew that there were these celebrities in the ancient country of China in the previous life, and second, he knew that these three people were indeed good, so they participated in this meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I asked you to come here this time because our Chengshan Army already has relatively sufficient manpower, and I need to reorganize the army, I don't know if you have any suggestions?" Liu Chen spoke first.
"General, all types of armies mainly include light and heavy infantry, cavalry, crossbowmen, and sailors, why don't you reorganize them based on these five types of troops?" Meng Tian first clenched his fists and got up and said, since the defeat of Dongyingren, no one has called Lord Liu Chen, but called him a general.
Liu Chen nodded after hearing this, motioned for Meng Tian to sit down, and then asked, "Meng Tian's point of view, do you have any objections?" ”
Everyone present glanced at each other, and they all shook their heads, saying that there was no objection from TEDA, because what Meng Tian said was not wrong, and now the main branches of the army are all there.
Seeing everyone's reaction in his eyes, Liu Chen also smiled slightly and said, "Since everyone has no opinion, then I will start assigning tasks to you." ”
The ten people immediately got up and clenched their fists, and said to Liu Chen: "Please show the general!" ”
Liu Chen was also unambiguous, and said directly: "I intend to divide the army into seven brigades, Li Xin is the commander of the first brigade, and the heavy infantry brigade, due to limited resources, I will only give you five hundred people!" ”
"Yes!" Li Xin responded.
"Meng Tian and Meng Yi, you two are the commanders of the second and third brigades, each leading a thousand soldiers, and I will give you a complete formation, which is for the light infantry brigade!" Liu Chen continued to speak.
"Command!" Meng Tian and Meng Yi said directly.
"Ding Fu, as the commander of the fourth brigade, Xiahou Ying as the deputy commander, give you eight hundred crossbowmen to form a crossbowmen brigade!"
"Command!" Ding Fu and Xiahou Ying spoke together.
"Chen Ying, Sima Xin, the two of you are the chief and deputy commanders of the Fifth Brigade, and I will give you 1,200 sergeants to form a Navy Brigade!" Liu Chen continued to speak.
Chen Ying and Sima Xin were also unambiguous, and directly hugged their fists to receive their lives.
"Liu Qi!" Liu Chen glanced at this young man who was one year younger than himself, and said with a smile on his face: "I ordered you to be the commander of the sixth brigade, but I will only give you a hundred people, the task of your brigade is more special, over there is to be the eyes of our entire army, you must become excellent marquis, secret agents, and have the belief to dare to sacrifice, Liu Qi, you tell me, are you sure to lead this sixth brigade!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Qi showed a determined look in his eyes, looked at Liu Chen without dodging and said, "Within a month, the entire Weihai County will be under the supervision of the general!" Liu Qi directly said his next goal.
Liu Chen's eyes lit up, then he nodded, looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and said: "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two of you are the chief and deputy commanders of the Seventh Brigade and the cavalry brigade of our army, but the war horses are limited, only more than three hundred people, you should not be too few!" ”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, both of them found the smile in each other's eyes, and at the same time bowed to Liu Chen and said, "My two brothers will definitely not let the general down!" ”
At this time, Liu Chen set his eyes on the last person who did not name him, and said: "Luan Bu, select a hundred soldiers, form a squadron of pro-soldiers, and you will be the commander!" ”
"Subordinates obey!" Luan Bu said loudly, although it is only a capital commander, but Meng Tian, Guan Yu and others dare not underestimate Luan Bu, after all, becoming Liu Chen's personal army captain is Liu Chen's great trust in him, to a certain extent, Luan Bu's status as a capital commander is even greater than their capital system!
"The new reorganization is like this, our army is now limited to 5,000 people, and when the resources are more in the future, we are considering expanding, what we have to do now is to pay close attention to training, there are 5,000 people, we are at least a relatively powerful force in Weihai County!" Liu Chen asked everyone to sit down, and then said.
"General, there is a proposal from my subordinates, our army already has 5,000 people, it is a battalion formation, we should have our own battalion flag, after all, the word Chengshan is just a place name, why don't the general choose another name for our army, and then set up a flag?" Guan Yu suddenly spoke.
When several other people heard this, they were also shocked, and looked at Liu Chen at the same time, yes, it could be named after Chengshan Army before, that was because there were few people, but now there are gradually more people, and a place name as the number of a comprehensive army is a bit petty.
Liu Chen looked at everyone's eyes, groaned slightly, and then spoke: "No matter where we come from, we all have one characteristic, that is, we are all Han people, and we use Chinese characters as the flag, what do you think?" ”
