Chapter 104: Expansion Plan

Then we began to discuss the composition of the departments of the Government Council and the other personnel structure.

Song Yu never thought that being a king would be so tiring.

These simple things were discussed for two days before they were basically over.

The policy for the founding of the nation has been basically established, and the next step is for each department to perform its own duties in accordance with the results of the discussions.

However, on the side of the Donghai people, Song Yu has not moved for the time being, and the discussion of government affairs has ended, and only then has he begun to discuss the military's affairs.

"There are not enough troops now, we need more soldiers!" When Song Yu was discussing the composition of the military department, he opened his mouth and said.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, plus the surrendered soldiers of the East China Sea, the current Tang State has 10,000 soldiers, do you still want to expand the army.

"Yes, expand the army. The current number of troops is still too small. There has been no announcement on the arrangement of the people of the East China Sea at present, but once this plan is really implemented, the resistance encountered can be imagined. With the number of troops we have now, we have to send people to watch over them, and the remaining people are not enough to defend such a large territory. Song Yu said.

"How many more troops should be expanded?" As far as the military personnel are concerned, the more the better.

Since Song Yu has opened his mouth, let's recruit troops.

"Zhang Yun, your troops will recruit another 4,500 people from the territory of the Tang Kingdom. Then it was divided into three regiments, Bai Zhong and Zhang Dakui were respectively the commanders, and there was a regiment commander to be determined. You recruit first. Remember, don't bring in people you shouldn't have brought in. Song Yu looked at Zhang Yun and said.

Song Yu's eyes looked at Zhang Yun like an eagle, and he was terrified when he saw it, and his eyes were so terrifying, as if he was going to eat him.

However, he immediately understood what Song Yu meant, and after taking a deep breath, he nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry, king, I promise I won't let those with ulterior motives into the army." Zhang Yun assured.

Song Yu chuckled softly, "Hmm." Let's talk about a few of you. ”

Song Yu has four regiment commanders, Qin Shou, Niu Shoupeng, Wu Feitian, and Zhong Yunlong.

After a great battle, and with the addition of new recruits, each regiment is now at full strength.

But Song Yu thought about it, this was not enough.

"How many people still want to join the army?" Jiang Chen looked at Zhong Yunlong on the side, the recruitment of troops, Zhong Yunlong was basically in charge before.

"Commander, our army is completely crushing the East China Sea. Especially now that Wu Cheng has mastered Juyuan City, the other soldiers who joined the army have equally shared this capture, which is also a lot of wealth. Now many young people want to join the army! Zhong Yunlong said with a chuckle.

Song Yu thought about it for a while, the most important thing at the moment is the military strength, and at present, young men account for the vast majority of the new West Asian people in the Tang Kingdom.

"Each of you has been promoted to brigade commander, and Qin Shou is a brigade. Niu Shoupeng 2nd Brigade. Zhong Yunlong Third Brigade. Wu Feitian Fourth Brigade. Each brigade is full of 5,000 men according to the establishment I proposed earlier! Song Yu thought for a while with red eyes.

"Wu Feitian is stationed in Juyuan City, Niu Shoupeng is stationed in Xihongcheng, and Nanlu City is defended by Zhang Yun and Niu Shoupeng. Qin Shou, you are responsible for taking care of those East China Sea people, and Zhang Yun is responsible for assisting. Zhong Yunlong is stationed in the Demon Capital. Song Yu then chuckled and said.

Xihongcheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult to face the army of the East China Sea people, so Niu Shoupeng and Zhang Yun can assist in defense, and the remaining Nanlu City, after the central peninsula became the Tang State established by Song Yu, the Southeast China Sea territory in the southwest, if you want to connect with the East China Sea, you have to bypass the territory of New West Asia.

Moreover, the area around Nanlu City belongs to the hinterland of the Tang Kingdom, as long as Xihongcheng and Juyuan City are fine, the East China Sea in the northeast has no way to help them.

When the Tang State was established, there were only four brigades of troops in the whole country, plus more than 4,000 troops of Zhang Yun.

Not much, actually.

It's just that the current population of the Tang Kingdom is also small.

After Song Yu finished speaking, several people frowned.

"Commander, isn't it a bit too much to recruit so many soldiers at once...... Qin Shou said.

"Not much." Song Yu said firmly.

"We have to defend the entire Tang Kingdom next, and more than 20,000 troops is not much. Moreover, we also have to defend against the attack of the East China Sea people, and there are still alliance meetings going on in the East China Sea, and there may be some countries that will help the East China Sea deal with us at that time. Now it is not a question of whether we have so many soldiers, we must have so many soldiers for security reasons. Song Yu said.

Qin Shougang wanted to say that the combat effectiveness of those countries was simply incomparable to their troops, and suddenly thought of the huge number of armies of various countries.

Their combat effectiveness is indeed the five scum of war, but the number is huge.

"But the king, what about our weapons and ammunition?" Qin Shou asked suspiciously.

He had followed Song Yu for a long time and knew that the weapons Song Yu bought were worth a lot.

It is extremely difficult to recruit more than 10,000 soldiers at once, and to train so many peasant names and ordinary people to become like some veterans now.

Tactical training or something, to improve their marksmanship, they need a lot of bullets.

Not to mention, there are so many more soldiers, where did they get so many weapons?

"It's okay, I'll figure out the weapons and ammunition, you just need to be responsible for recruiting these soldiers." Jiang Chen said with a frown. "These newly recruited soldiers, this time you will train yourself. I hope to see some results in two months! ”

Two months is not enough time for these soldiers to become a qualified elite, but now Song Yu doesn't need much for these soldiers, and the training is still very simple. Two months is enough.

The rest can be taught slowly.

And let them train by themselves, I also want to see what they have learned about troop training for so long, and how to train their own troops.

You can't always let Long Yi help them train the troops, they will have to do the right thing in the future.

And when the time comes, the way to test the results of the training is also very simple, and there are still a lot of garbage troops in the East China Sea, so when the time comes, just pull them out for training.

Song Yu said that this was the point, and several people no longer rejected Song Yu's recruitment plan.

Thinking about it, it's still a little excited, how many of them, each of them is going to lead five thousand troops? And also a powerful elite.

"Don't worry, Commander, I'll train this group of guys to be a howling wolf pack!" Niu Shoupeng patted his chest and shouted.

He's a fierce man, the more troops the better, he crushes everything with strong soldiers, and he doesn't want to know anything else.

"Wolves?" Song Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"After two months, the results of the battle will be tested, and the best soldiers will be selected from each brigade, and I will let Ryuichi personally select them. Which brigade was picked out the most, and when the time comes for the weapons to be purchased, I will equip it first. Song Yu chuckled softly.

Hearing Niu Shoupeng's words, Jiang Chen suddenly thought of the wolf warrior.

A pack of howling wolves that can tear all enemies apart.

Song Yu planned to train those best soldiers to the point that they were not under Long Yi and them, and then equip them with weapons such as flower machine guns.

Assemble the Wolf Warrior!
