As for the expansion plan of the soldiers, Wang Zheng naturally also notified it, and the general Huang Yang was in charge of the recruitment of the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion, and Qianzong Shi Gang and Qianzong Deng Heizi were their deputies.

The soldiers were the strength of the entire Wendeng battalion, with a total of 1,536 people at eight posts, and this time Wang Zheng planned to expand the number of soldiers to 5,000.

Wang Zheng divided the entire Dengzhou battalion into 5,000 total troops, but according to the "44 marches" system, the total strength of each 1,000 troops was actually not a thousand people.

One tithes of twelve soldiers, a thousand of the total number of five sentinels, a total of nine hundred and sixty soldiers, five thousand total strength is the expanded Dengzhou battalion soldiers, a total of 4,800 people.

Therefore, minus the original more than 1,000 Wendeng soldiers, the actual number of soldiers to be recruited is more than 3,000 people, and this time Wang Zheng recruited a new cavalry team of 200 people, and he was registered as a soldier, which can be regarded as a collection of 5,000 people.

As for the issue of the command of the total strength of 5,000 troops, Wang Zheng took one team as his own soldiers, and the other four teams were still led by Dong Youyin, Huang Yang, Deng Heizi and Gao Liang.

In addition, the Bird Gun is still an unnaturalized soldier, and this time it will be expanded to a total of 960 troops.

Ren Hu, the sentry officer of the bird gun team, has always been the title of sentry officer in the past, and it is natural that he will be promoted to the rank of thousand general after this expansion.

Ren Hu is an old man in the Wendeng battalion, and now he is about to become the fifth soldier Qianzong, and he is finally about to enter the ranks of senior generals in the Dengzhou battalion.

Speaking of an interesting phenomenon, Wang Zheng did not deliberately agitate, but the Dengzhou camp was still divided into upper, middle and lower classes.

The top is naturally the soldiers, the soldiers are the most essential part of the entire Dengzhou camp, just like the Bayala soldiers in the slave camp, everyone has been in battle for a long time, with the best and latest equipment, Wang Zheng personally led the battle.

The representatives of the soldiers are Dong Youyin, Huang Yang, Deng Heizi, Gao Liang and the soon-to-be-promoted Thousand General Manager of the Bird Gun Team, Ren Hu.

Below is the garrison soldiers stationed in various places, most of them are excellent performance in various places, and a small number of them are recruited and tested more directly, although the combat effectiveness is not bad, but they still need to be polished to take on the big responsibility.

The representatives of them are the general officers of the regular soldiers in various places.

At the bottom were the auxiliary soldiers such as doctors, doctors, scribes, and baggage soldiers, who did not have to go into battle, but they were also indispensable in battle, and ordinary training was the most relaxed.

But then again, even the training of the auxiliary soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion is much stricter than that of most officers and soldiers in other places.

The representatives of the auxiliary troops were Yuan Li, an officer of the baggage team, Ning Hulai of the Ning Medical Workshop, and Xu Kewen, the civilian officer in charge of the Military Affairs Department of the Military Division.

Gao Liang felt that his performance in the competition was not good, and he thought that he would be punished, but who wanted to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and the chief was responsible for the axe and gun teaching of all the soldiers.

Jem felt that this competition had offended many people, but he didn't think about it, but he was a blessing in disguise, and finally got his first official job in the Dengzhou camp.

On the one hand, he was grateful for Wang Zheng's trust, but on the other hand, he didn't want to be idle, feeling that he had a greater presence in Daming than in his own country, and was more likely to be honored, so he devoted himself to the teaching of axes and guns.

Wang Zheng also has his own considerations, Gao Liang is a senior general of the Dengzhou battalion, so that he will not have resistance in charge, and if he wants to complete his death order, he can only ask for advice from Jem, which will also help the relationship between the two to get closer.

As one of the five thousand soldiers, Gao Liang's status in the Dengzhou battalion is undoubted, and if he eases up his relationship with Jem, it can also play a role in promoting Jem's smooth integration.

Speaking of which, the use of this axe gun is a little bit more proficient, and the reason why Jem assisted Gao Liang is also to really test him once, if he performs well, he can rest assured that he can be appointed to other appointments.

In early August, the various units of the Dengzhou battalion stationed in various localities received a military order from the Marshal's Office, and a vigorous recruitment campaign was launched by the Military Parliament Department in various places.

Whether it is the Wendeng Battalion in the past or the Dengzhou Battalion today, whenever the military order to recruit and expand the army is down, it has always been a move to the whole body, and the scale is huge.

The soldiers are selected from the regular soldiers, and the shortage of regular soldiers must be selected from the inspection department of the salt ding, and the salt ding protects the largest number of people, so it is necessary to make up for the manpower from the people and displaced people in various places.

......

In September of the 11th year of Chongzhen, the expansion of the Dengzhou battalion ended in mid-August, according to the statistical results reported by the Military Affairs Department of the Military Division.

The Dengzhou battalion recruited more than 3,000 soldiers in total, including a new horse team of 200 people, and the team officer was a man named Quan Zhuo.

Quan Zhuo's hometown is in Jinzhou, Liaodong, and he has been raising horses for a living for generations, and later he joined the border army to make meritorious contributions and glorify his ancestors, but he entered the wrong team, and the general soldier who led him was called Wu Xiang.

In the battle of the Daling River, Wu Xiang was ordered to take tens of thousands of border troops to aid the Daling River, but was blocked by the Houjin army Azig, when Wu Xiang, the general soldier of Liaodong, immediately "abandoned the army and fled", and tens of thousands of troops were like headless flies, and the corpses that were killed were all over the field, and they were devastated.

Quan Zhuo narrowly escaped with his life, but he was captured by several bands of rogues in the pass, and after seeing the cruelty of the rogues, he thought of defecting to the official army.

After escaping from the hands of the rogue, Quan Zhuo was the first to come to the command of Zuo Liangyu, the world-famous general soldier of the Ping Thief, but found that Zuo Ying was actually an unnamed rogue, and immediately fled again.

The year before last, he came to Dengzhou Mansion in Shandong, and was forced to work as a helper in the salt field of Hot Spring Town for a period of time due to food and clothing.

Fortunately, the treatment of the salt field under Wang Zheng's rule was very good, Quan Zhuo worked for a while, and his outstanding performance was reported by the small leader of the salt ding who was in charge of that area at that time, and he was assigned a dirt house.

Quan Zhuo didn't dare to think that there was such a good thing at that time, in other places, Shangguan was trying his best to oppress the people, Quan Zhuo was even very disappointed in the official army when he was in the left camp, but he didn't think that this side was so unusual, and he suddenly decided to settle down here.

Since he came to Dengzhou Mansion, Quan Zhuo's small life has been quite good, even if it is better than when he was in Liaodong, he eats and drinks enough every day, and with the salary of Yanding, he can eat meat once a month.

Whenever I think of this, it makes Quan Zhuo feel incredible, and his body is also quickly stronger, and it didn't take long to catch up with the expansion of Wendeng Camp, Quan Zhuo was eager to participate in the examination, and there were a lot of people in those days.

But Quan Zhuo was still successfully selected with his excellent skills, became a salt ding under the jurisdiction of the Inspection Division, and was assigned to the Hot Spring Town Bureau.

The people present that day were all excellent salt ding from each branch office, but Quan Zhuo still performed outstandingly, and successfully became one of the two commanders of the inspection department.

Quan Zhuo followed the punishment of a knife, in the Chishan territory to fight the tyrants, kill the thief, as if starting a new life, later Wang Zheng was appointed as the deputy chief soldier of Denglai, moved to Penglai, Quan Zhuo was also recommended to enter the Dengzhou battalion regular soldier sequence, followed the guerrilla general of the punishment knife stationed in Chishan.

This time the big expansion, Quan Zhuo heard that the soldiers were going to expand, and he couldn't sleep for a few nights when he was excited, and he didn't feel tired when he got up and practiced with a knife and gun until the rooster crowed.

In early August, Quan Zhuo was about to take the test with a knife and gun, and when he passed by a courtyard, he heard the familiar sound of horses' hooves and neighing.

After inquiring left and right, Quan Zhuo was pleasantly surprised to find that General Wang Zhengwang had formed a horse team, and the horse team was actually expanding this time.

Quan Zhuo used to be a cavalryman of the border army, and his family has been a horse household for generations, and he hated the Tartar to the core.

Xu Kewen, director of the Military Affairs Department of the Military Affairs Department, wrote in the document sent to the Marshal's Office:

"Quan Zhuo, a native of Jinzhou, Liaodong, the former border army horseman, his face is like a wood, his body is martial arts, and his equestrian skills are outstanding, like a tiger's talent."
