After the concentration camps were forcibly recruiting those Han people in the northeast, and then batches of young strong men were forcibly recruited by Tan Feng, Tan Feng was also here to think about the next expansion plan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Then, it's winter. The time of winter is the most important time for us, and the most important time for us to strive for the expansion of the army. In winter, it was not suitable for the Manchus to send troops to fight, and we have already blamed the Manchus for the problem that winter is not conducive to warfare. The Manchus will definitely be very embarrassed next, if they want to annihilate us, they can't send troops when we are weakest, they can only transfer troops in winter, and then they are ready to go on the expedition! ”

"Therefore, we must seize this opportunity to take the initiative to expand the army, and change the environment in our northeast, and then meet the upcoming big war."

Tan Feng announced the next tasks, and the next tasks are nothing more than several, expanding the army and changing the social structure of the northeast region. Moreover, it is mainly to expand the army, and change the social structure is also based on supporting the army to fight, turning the entire northeast into a war machine, and striving to win the next Manchu attack.

It is impossible for the Manchus to take the initiative to send a large army to fight in winter, and it is impossible for the Manchus not to understand that winter operations are taboo for soldiers. Therefore, this winter is the most important time for them to expand and train.

"I have appointed Jingwen as the governor of Eastern Mongolia, responsible for recruiting and training the Mongol cavalry of Eastern Mongolia. In the future, the Mongolian cavalry can be called hussars and chasseurs, and as for this new type of cavalry of our Han people, we will call it dragoons! Because of this cavalry charge, the entire battle line resembles a giant dragon. And the dragon is our traditional totem in China, so it is named after the dragoon, which is well deserved. “

"As for the future, the cavalry style of the Mongols will gradually reduce the proportion. Hussars are generally responsible for reconnaissance, as well as various surprise attacks and other tasks, and are not responsible for frontal combat. As for the chasseurs, the duties are similar, but they are mainly based on long-range attacks with bows and crossbows, such as the kite tactics of the Mongolian gangus in the past, which is also one of the responsibilities of the chasers. ”

Tan Feng began to redivide the arms of these cavalry according to the establishment of other cavalry arms, and the Mongols were mainly responsible for those chasers and hussars in the future, but they were mainly ordinary troops, and were not responsible for frontal combat. The real frontal battle was the dragoons, mainly by the Han Chinese, as the main key to determining the victory.

Tan Feng then announced: "Next, we will expand the army by 60,000, including 12,000 cavalry and about 48,000 infantry. The cavalry was divided into four divisions, each of which numbered about 3,000 men. Each infantry division had about 12,000 men. ”

Tan Feng began to ask for the expansion of the army, especially to 60,000, which could be regarded as a preliminary security limit. Because Tan Feng knew that the next Manchu attack would not be so easy to deal with. Because once the Manchu Qing attacked, it would definitely be an attack by hundreds of thousands of troops, not tens of thousands of troops. The Manchu Qing Dynasty has already suffered a loss this time, and they will definitely come over with the posture of Mount Tai pressing the top, and they must have the power to exterminate Tan Feng.

Tan Feng can only ensure security as much as possible by expanding the army. Expand the cavalry to 12,000, that is, three divisions of cavalry, so as to ensure the stability of the future.

"Regarding the establishment of cavalry, our four cavalry divisions, I intend to adopt the method of mixed formation of major cavalry arms. For each of our cavalry divisions, there should be six cavalry regiments. Each cavalry regiment is a unit that fights alone. It can be fought alone or in a group. Among the six cavalry regiments, there are three dragoon regiments dominated by our Han Chinese, two hussar regiments, and one chassar regiment. Hunters are the most difficult to train and have fewer needs, so they have fewer staffing. ”

"Such a cavalry division, that is, the operational standard that can complete a tactical campaign on its own, can bear the needs of a small campaign. With reconnaissance, assault, and full-fledged combat units, they could take on a separate campaign on their own. ”

"As for the selection of commanders of cavalry divisions, five of them are stationed in our northeast and are ready for future operational preparations. As for the last division, it was concurrently held by Wang Jingwen, the governor of Eastern Mongolia, who was temporarily responsible for suppressing the situation in Mongolia and, if necessary, striking at the remnants of those who were still loyal to the Manchus and the Mongol aristocracy! ”

Tan Feng also wants to leave a cavalry division in Eastern Mongolia, even if it seems that Eastern Mongolia has returned to the center now, but he can't relax, because these Eastern Mongolian regions may still secretly still have some forces loyal to the Manchu and Mongolian nobles. Although they are now lurking, it does not mean that they are completely safe, so they must leave a rapid reaction force in Eastern Mongolia to use to suppress the local area. Therefore, this army was also given to Wang Jingwen, the governor of Eastern Mongolia, to suppress the local area.

The remaining five troops can become the main response to the Manchu attack in the future, so that they can not be nervous in the face of the Manchu attack.

"The Northeast is good, and many Han people in this place can ride horses. In this northeast, unlike the interior, it is not easy to recruit cavalry. However, in the Northeast, almost many Han people can ride horses, and their equestrian skills are also good, which provides a foundation for us to establish an invitation. Tan Feng said.

If you are in Han China, it is not easy to find someone who can ride a horse. Agrarian peoples are born with little opportunity to ride horses, but in the Northeast there is an exception. The Northeast is vast and sparsely populated, and the transportation is inconvenient. Coupled with the proximity to Mongolia, many horses pass through various channels such as the Northeast. Even the horse thieves in the Northeast were famous in later generations, and many of these horse thieves were actually Han Chinese. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a high probability that the Han people in the northeast could ride horses, and many of them were descendants of criminals, and many of them were forced to emigrate, and they did not have a high sense of belonging to the Manchu Dynasty.

"On the surface, the Manchus attached great importance to the Northeast, but in fact there was no effective rule in the Northeast. The bureaucratic system in the Northeast was very poor, and the strength of the Manchus was simply not able to rule the grassroots in the Northeast, and the Manchus in the Northeast were almost equivalent to having no ruling foundation. Coupled with the fact that the Han people have a poor sense of belonging, and are good at horseback riding, the folk customs are fierce, and it is really a good place to fight against the Qing Dynasty! Tan Feng thought excitedly.

"Next, let's discuss the technical arms of our infantry. Next, these technical classes are also very important, and they are not so easy to bypass! Even the technical arms are the source of our combat effectiveness in the future. Tan Feng said.
