Regarding the placement of officers in the Jiangning battalion, Fan Jingwen has not spoken, but when it was really time to report to the imperial court, he put forward his own opinion, the Jiangning battalion competition has ended, and it is about to be declared to the imperial court.

The setting of the Ming Dynasty guard, fixed for hundreds of years, everyone is used to it, Wei under the jurisdiction of five thousand households, thousands of households under the jurisdiction of five hundred households, one hundred households under the jurisdiction of two general flags, under the jurisdiction of five small flags, small flags are the most basic combat units, the number of people is fixed, a guard of 5,600 people, each thousand households 1120 people, each hundred households 112 people, each general flag 56 people, each small flag 10 people.

The unit higher than the guard is the capital division, and the one who commands the army of the Ming Dynasty is the military department and the capital of the five armies.

If there is a large-scale war, the emperor and the court personally order the generals, form a large-scale army, at this time, the title has changed, there are marshals, supervisors, general soldiers, deputy general soldiers, generals, deputy generals and other official positions, these military official positions, are temporary, no rank, after the war, the army of the guard disbanded, back to their respective stations.

From the beginning of the Wanli period, in order to facilitate the deployment of the army and the command of operations, the official positions of the chief soldier and the deputy chief soldier were slowly fixed, and he was appointed as the chief soldier by the imperial court, which was actually the commander of the guard army of a province.

Fan Jingwen's suggestion required the Jiangning battalion to be set up in accordance with the military positions stipulated by the imperial court.

The title of Jiangning Battalion is given by the emperor and cannot be changed, and its treatment is equivalent to Wei, Fan Jingwen is still the commander of Wei, Su Tiancheng is also the commander of the army, and Sun Chuanting is also the commander of Wei. The battalions under the jurisdiction below are uniformly set up in accordance with the 1,000 households, 100 households, general flags, and small flags, but there can be breakthroughs in the number of people, including the organizational system.

For example, there is a battalion of the Xiaoqi battalion, and one person is set up for one thousand households. There are two people in the deputy thousand households, five people in the hundred households, ten people in the deputy hundred households, ten people in the general flag, twenty people in the deputy general flag, and fifty people in the small flag. There are 2,000 soldiers under the jurisdiction of each thousand households, 400 soldiers under the jurisdiction of each hundred households, 200 soldiers under the jurisdiction of each general office, and 40 soldiers under the jurisdiction of each small banner.

As for the pro-soldier battalion, scout battalion and law enforcement battalion. In terms of officer settings, it can be appropriately reduced.

In this way, the number of posts of officers is fixed, and the rest, such as commanding the officer, pacifying the guard, experience, governor, officer, ambassador, deputy envoy, etc., must be set up in accordance with the requirements and can be concurrently.

Su Tiancheng did not object to such an opinion.

He knew very well that the Jiangning battalion was essentially the army of the imperial court. If it is unique, it will definitely be fiercely attacked by the imperial court. Some people may even say that you have rebelled, but in fact, according to the setting of the imperial court, the number of officers, relatively small, can also reduce the pressure on expenditure.

It's easy to put it on, too. 1,000 households are equivalent to the battalion commander, 100 households are equivalent to the company commander, the general flag is equivalent to the deputy company commander, and the small flag is equivalent to the squad leader. The Jiangning camp will not cause much volatility.

Regarding the setting of officers, except for the general flag and small flag, which can be appointed by the Jiangning battalion itself and reported to the military department for the record, the rest of the officers must all be appointed by the imperial court, and even the titles are also clearly stated.

After the end of the competition, the Jiangning battalion returned to calm, and many officers and men also knew that many officers were in place, and the arrival of officers this time was very important for the Jiangning battalion.

The Jiangning battalion has a pro-soldier battalion, a scout battalion, two cavalry battalions, two forward battalions, two Jianrui battalions, two infantry battalions, a Shenji battalion, and a law enforcement battalion, with a total strength of 20,000 troops, of which the Xiaocai battalion, the forward battalion, the Jianrui battalion, the infantry battalion, and the Shenji battalion are all 2,000 people, the pro-soldier battalion is 1,000 people, and the law enforcement battalion is 200 people.

According to the previous plan, the Jiangning battalion will recruit 10,000 more sergeants, and when the time comes, the infantry battalion will increase to five, the Jianrui battalion to three, and the Shenji battalion to two.

Fan Jingwen didn't care about the specific candidate, but Su Tiancheng had to worry about it personally.

After careful discussion with Sun Chuanting, he clarified all the candidates for the thousand households.

Sun Yuankun of the 1,000 households of the pro-military battalion, Liu Tiehan of the 1,000 households of the scout battalion, Liu Shiliang of the 1st battalion of the Xiaocai Battalion, Di Huaixiang of the 1,000 households of the 2nd battalion, Luo Chang of the 1,000 households of the 1st Battalion of the Forward Battalion, Qin Rui of the 2nd Battalion, Ma Huabiao, commander of the 1st Battalion of the Jianrui Battalion, Lu Taibing, commander of the 2nd Battalion, Sun Sizong, commander of the 1st Battalion of the Infantry Battalion, Lu Taibo, commander of the 2nd Battalion, Sun Chuanting, commander of the Shenji Battalion, and Sun Siming, commander of the Law Enforcement Battalion.

Such an arrangement, Su Tiancheng has repeatedly considered.

The big competition stands out, only Di Huaixiang and Qin Rui, the rest of the winners, can serve as a hundred households, a general flag or a small flag, but can not serve as a thousand households, this is the rules of the big competition, can not be destroyed, Sun Siming, Sun Sizong, Lu Taibing and Lu Taibo and others, all are scholars, after this period of tempering, they grow up quickly, they have insight, knowledge, there is no big problem in leading troops to fight, among the army, reading people are very rare, good men are not soldiers, let alone scholars.

As for the Shenji Battalion, it has been paid more and more attention.

In the future campaign, the role of the Shenji Battalion should not be underestimated, so the position of this thousand households must be particularly cautious, strictly speaking, Sun Chuanting is aware of the role of the Shenji Battalion.

Su Tiancheng knew that if he could maximize the role of the Shenji Battalion, he could even conquer the world.

However, the shortcomings of the Shenji Battalion are also obvious, in two aspects, one is that the weapons are in urgent need of improvement, and the other is that the silver is burned.

Su Tiancheng can't take out so much silver for the time being, as for improving weapons, he is not an expert, he doesn't understand the theory of ordnance, rather than pondering it himself, it is better to go with the flow.

Of course, he has always kept in mind one person, that is, Bi Maokang, Bi Maokang is an expert in firearms, Bi Maokang is a Jinshi in the Wanli period, when Chongzhen was eight years old, he invented the self-generated firebolt, improved the ignition device of the firebolt, and replaced the firerope fire with flint fire, which is a revolutionary breakthrough in the history of weapons, and it is Bi Maokang's great contribution.

To put it simply, Bi Maokang's contribution is to transform the original dragon head with a fire rope into a dragon head with a flint, pull the trigger, press the dragon head down, rub against the flint to ignite, and fire the firebolt is launched. Such a change overcame the shortcomings of the arquebus affected by the weather, and it could be fired at any time, and the accuracy of shooting was much higher, and the effective time of shooting was also in the hands of the musketeers, which greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the musketeers.

Su Tiancheng's idea is very simple, let it be, wait for Bi Maokang to study it, and then start to equip the Jiangning camp on a large scale, don't interfere now, there is no need for the Jiangning camp to take out these silver.

On April 20, the decree of the imperial court finally came down.

The Jiangning battalion was particularly solemn, and everyone knew that this time, the imperial court was going to appoint a large number of officers.

Fan Jingwen made the announcement on his behalf.

Su Tiancheng and others were all standing in front of the playground.

At the end of the day, Fan Jingwen began to read the holy decree.

Looking at the solemn and excited expressions of all the soldiers, as well as the joy of the appointed officers, Su Tiancheng was a little gloomy, he didn't know why he had such an idea for Lu Dao, establishing a regularized army was his pursuit, but after working hard and busy, it seemed that he was benefited by the imperial court in the end.

It should be said that all the soldiers in the Jiangning camp still have the idea of honoring their ancestors in their hearts, and in their subconscious, they still identify with the imperial court, which is not surprising.

The reading of the decree took half an hour.

Di Huaixiang and Qin Rui stood in front of Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng looked at them and spoke slowly.

"Di Qianhu, Qin Qianhu, first of all, congratulations to you, in the big competition, you performed well and were recognized, but what I said today is different."

After the two hugged their fists, they knelt on one knee and gave Su Tiancheng a military salute.

Su Tiancheng did not refuse, and after the two of them got up, he spoke again.

"You all have their own strengths, Di Huaixiang has brains, Qin Rui is brave, since you have led two thousand soldiers, the responsibilities are different, in the battle in the coming day, you must maximize your ability, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, you need to respond flexibly, avoid sacrifice to the greatest extent, and maximize the victory, this is your duty in the future."

"You need a period of time to adapt, but it won't be very long, the Jiangning battalion has a heavy responsibility, and there will be many expeditions in the future, so in the next time, you have to work harder, and you need to think all the time, I look forward to you establishing meritorious deeds."

Di Huaixiang and Qin Rui were both very excited.

They knew that if it was according to the general practice, they were not qualified to be promoted, let alone a thousand households who were directly promoted to the fifth grade, which was almost impossible, but they could do it in the Jiangning camp, this is a place where strength is important, and their ability can also be displayed, of course, they also have to fight with the enemy to truly show their own ability.

"I don't like to say more, it's always been about the effect of things, you don't need to express your stance in front of me, say less and do more, on weekdays, you ask Lord Sun and the rest of the thousand households for advice, and use the fastest speed to improve your ability again."

Watching Di Huaixiang and Qin Rui leave, Su Tiancheng thought again, the establishment of the Jiangning battalion has been perfected, and there is not much difference from the two major battalions in Nanjing, next, how will the emperor and the military department treat the Jiangning battalion, how to dispatch the Jiangning battalion, according to the reputation of the Jiangning battalion, it is impossible to stay in Jiangning County for a long time, sooner or later they will have to go out to fight. After several months of training, as well as this big competition, the Jiangning battalion should also be pulled out, but where exactly will it show its ability, this is very important, and the matter of attacking on all fronts has never been done for the Jiangning battalion.
