Chapter 127: Expansion of Armaments

The old lady dragged her son and talked for a long time before letting them out; Qin Qiong naturally wants to accompany his wife and son at his own residence; After Cheng Yanjin said goodbye to his mother, he wanted to sneak forward. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wang Erya grabbed his left hand and said, "Brother Cheng, you haven't taught me a new song for a long time, and we're tired of singing a few songs after repeated times in our art camp; You've got to make up a song for us! ”

Dongfang Yumei also did not show weakness, grabbed Cheng Yanjin's right hand and said: "Brother Cheng, the training of our women's camp is on the right track, you have to inspect and guide, you are the consultant of our women's camp?" ”

Sun Sixin sneered in the back and didn't speak, Cheng Yanjin is now one head and two big, and he doesn't feel good about who he refuses; In other words, it's still Miss Sun San, you see that people are not jealous, and they don't make any requests.

As soon as I thought of this, I heard Sun Sixin say: "Brother Cheng, did you make up the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" You're so well written; But you haven't updated it in a long time; That's not good, and it will make the reader sad. Don't wander around, update now! ”

Dongfang Yumei and Wang Erya finally reached a consensus, nodded together, and looked at Cheng Yanjin with resentment. Lao Cheng raised his hands and said in surrender: "Okay, okay, then I'll say one more paragraph, hey, where did we talk last time?" ”

Liangshan's council hall was full of talents, and on the left was a team of literati headed by Du Ruhui, Ling Jing, Sheng Yanping, Cheng Taigong and others, and craftsmen such as Cui Jing, Qi Wuxinggang, and Gong Lu also sat in their ranks.

The team on the right is even larger, led by Zhang Ding and Zhang Zhongjian, the head of the navy, Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao, and Li Jing, Li Yaoshi, Sheng Yanshi, Jiang Song, Liang Shitai, Liang Menglong, Shang Huaizhu, Jin Cheng, Niu Gai and others; Zhang Chuchen, Dongfang Yumei, Hu Li, Wang Erya, and the second lady of black and white also attended the meeting.

Cheng Yanjin sat in the middle and glanced around and said with a smile: "Haha, except for Kan Ling and the majestic sea outside, as well as Lu Xingxing and Lu Mingyue; Everybody's here! I was thrilled to see so many heroes come together! This shows that the prosperity of our Liangshan is just around the corner! The crowd laughed.

Cheng Yanjin continued: "Originally, this Liangshan was created just to have a place to live in troubled times; It is rare to have many brothers to participate in the righteous act, so that we Liangshan development and growth.

Now that the world is in turmoil, Zhang Xutuo has the right to randomly depose officials in the southwest of Qin, and we will usher in the opportunity to go out; What do people say we should do? ”

"Listen to the eldest brother, what does the eldest brother say?" Liang Shitai shouted first, and although Du Ruhui and the others did not speak, they all nodded slightly in agreement.

Cheng Biting Jin slapped the table and said: "Okay, the geese have left a voice, and the people have left a name; Since everyone is not willing to be bland; Let's have a good career. If we want to go out, we must have a strong army to escort us!

Looking at our opponents around us, let's just say that Meng Haigong, who has been defeated by us several times, has 20,000 or 30,000 horses; The other rebels, let's get together, it's an army of 100,000, and if we have fewer troops, we will suffer a lot! I decided that the first bullet for us to go out of Liangshan was to expand the army.

We now have four regular army regiments in Liangshan, about 5,000 men; Together with the 1,000 men of the trap regiment, the total number of combatants was 6,000. ”

Before his words fell, Dongfang Yumei raised Bai Shengsheng's small hand and said, "Protest!" You discriminate against women! What about 400 people in our women's camp? ”

Cheng Biting Jin laughed: "Yes, yes, I misremembered, right!" With the addition of the Niangzi Battalion, our combat force has 6,400 people. ”

Dongfang Yumei smiled and sat down satisfied; Wang Erya rubbed the corners of her clothes vigorously and gritted her teeth.

Cheng Yanjin continued: "Let's talk about the navy, our navy is currently dominated by warships captured by Goguryeo, and the personnel are mainly the surrounding fishermen plus the people brought back from Dengzhou, and there are also two regiments of about 2,500 people. Of course, the eldest brother has already sent a letter to the Zhang family in Yangzhou, asking them to send craftsmen and sailors to Liangshan, and it is expected that the strength of the naval army will be doubled by then.

We seem to have a lot of them, but when we get to the places, we are a little stretched. So I decided to upgrade the army. Each regiment was upgraded to a brigade, with a quota of 5,000 men per brigade; Now the personnel must be insufficient, but fortunately, Second Brother Qin has brought us back 5,000 men and horses, and I will divide them equally among the regiments, but the remaining insufficient part can only be found by the brigade commanders.

The number of people in the trapping regiment remained unchanged, but the official positions of each person were transferred according to the brigade. The medical camp and the art camp were expanded into medical groups and art troupes; Please take the trouble of training the two regiments.

Oh, and because the Niangzi battalion has just become an army, it is not suitable to expand again, and the original establishment is still maintained; Later, when it matures, it will be expanded. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Erya snorted at Dongfang Yumei as if demonstrating, and Dongfang Yumei became dejected and stopped talking.

Cheng Yanjin continued: "The two regiments of the navy army, Tabai and Polang, when the people from Yangzhou arrived, were also upgraded to Tabai Brigade and Polang Brigade; The organizational structure is not fixed for the time being. ”

"Good!" Everyone was a little excited when they heard this, and they all thought about how to recruit troops and expand their strength.

Cheng Yanjin said: "Our water and land armies have been upgraded; reached the level of division; I appointed Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao as the commander-in-chief of the army, commanding a total of 20,000 people in the four brigades of wind, forest, fire and mountain, plus the trapping regiment, medical regiment and art troupe, a total of 3,600 people, and 400 people in the Niangzi battalion; A total of 24000. ”

"Yes!" Everyone gave up their hands to obey the order, and Qin Qiong also stood up and saluted everyone.

Cheng Yanjin continued: "I appointed Zhang Ding as the head of the navy, and he was in charge of the two brigades of the navy with a total of 10,000 people; Please Liang Menglong, Lu Xingxing, Lu Mingyue and Wang Ying to assist! ”

"Yes!" Ling Menglong and Wang Ying, who were at home, agreed in unison, and then returned to their seats.

"I intend to set up a war planning department; Responsible for the planning and formulation of combat plans and the mobilization of troops and materials, the status of this department is completely equivalent to that of a division and the status of the land and water armies. Pharmacist Li Jing and Li are in charge, and Ling Jing is the deputy; If you need someone, please add it as soon as possible. Li Jing and Ling Jing stood up and bowed in agreement.

Lao Cheng continued: "The war costs a lot together, can our family support the needs of the war; It's up to Mr. Du and Cheng Taigong. ”

Du Ruhui said: "Report to the general manager, we have recruited tens of thousands of displaced people during this period of time, these people have been cultivating in various places, because there is no war, there are enough livestock, and the grain is harvested, and we have hoarded a lot of grain; And you are fighting outside and eating the food and salary of the Sui Dynasty, but you are desperately carrying things to your home, and it doesn't matter if you fight so many battles. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Cheng Taigong also said: "Chief Qiyu, Brigade Commander Kan Ling occupied Yangxin's salt farm, and a large amount of salt was sent over; We have shipped several ships of salt, tea and spirits to Taiyuan.

Except for the spirits, all these things were given to the second prince to exchange for war horses, and the other things were in short supply, and a lot of silver taels and grain were exchanged for us; The Steward doesn't have to worry about money and food at all. ”

"Good!" Cheng Yanjin clapped his hands and said: "Money and grain are the foundation of development!" The more the merrier, I estimate that food prices will soar in a few years; There are two people who bother to buy a lot of food! ”

"Yes! We got it! In the future, we will buy as much grain as we can with the money from the sale of goods. ”

Cheng Yanjin couldn't stop nodding when he heard this; He looked at Qi Wuxinggang and Gong Ludao, the two leaders of the craftsman camp: "Two masters, are you still used to living in Liangshan when you first arrived?" What are the requirements? ”

Qi Wuxing just stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Boss, there is nothing to say, I also tested the blast furnace steelmaking, and sure enough, the firepower is stronger, and the training has reached the level of the original hundred refining without folding it back and forth." If you add to that our fold-up build; Hehe, each one is a magic weapon! ”

Cheng Biting Jin was overjoyed: "Okay! Master Qi Wu, I will gather all the good blacksmiths in the Dong'a area and hand them over to you to manage; Strive to bring our Liangshan's equipment to a new level. ”

Qi Wuxing's eyes widened: "How can you say that you are fighting?" Yes, it must be taken to a new level! The crowd burst into laughter.
