Chapter 12 Expansion of the Army
Ding Youcai saw that his young master was so happy, and hurriedly took the letter from Ziren's hand and read it, but just halfway through it, Youcai suddenly screamed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Young master, what are you happy about! This official position has been demoted. We gave him so many silver winter melons for nothing, and this deal can be a big loss. ”
According to what was written in the letter, a few days ago, Ren made too much noise in Liaoyang City, which attracted the attention of all parties. Hao Jie couldn't help but be honest, and temporarily demoted Ziren from the commander of the battalion to the commander, and the post of Dongning Wei Zhenfu was also relieved, but he still continued to guard Changning Fort. Seeing that the young master's official position was demoted, Ding Youcai was anxious on the spot.
Who knew that Ding Youcai's words and deeds were already within his expectations, and Ziren said dissatisfiedly after listening to it: "Youcai, why are you still so anxious, read the letter and then make a conclusion." ”
Hearing what Ziren said, Ding Youcai hurriedly read the letter, and then understood why the young master was so happy.
It turned out that Hao Jie added 300 foot soldiers and 100 horsemen to the fort on the grounds that there were many Mongol slaves in Changning Fort, and Ziren recruited them by himself. In terms of food and salary, it was allocated by Liaodong Town, and he enjoyed the treatment of battalion soldiers. He also mentioned in the letter that the pacesetter battalion under Hao Jie's account will be formed soon, and a good position will be left for Ziren at that time. At the same time, he repeatedly instructed Ziren to seize the time to recruit troops and conduct drills, and to reinstate good officers who have made military achievements as soon as possible.
In this way, it seems that although Ziren's official position has been reduced, the strength of his subordinates has increased greatly, and he does not have to pay for his own soldiers, so the advantage is not small.
Seeing such good news, Youcai began to make a small calculation in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he said with a smile on his face: "Young master, you have added so many people to your command, should you promote some generals, what do you think of me." After that, he also made a look of holding his head up.
Ziren had long seen that Ding Youcai was not the material for leading the troops to fight, but Youcai was very loyal to himself, and he couldn't bear to say it directly, so he sighed and said slowly: "Youcai, the Li family gave me a few shops, and the young master can rest assured that others can't take care of it, I wanted you to take care of it." ”
At this time, Ziren paused for a moment and shook his head, and continued: "Since you are dedicated to joining the army, young master, I am not strong. In this way, you and I, the master and servant, will fight together on the battlefield and make contributions. It's just that the sword has no eyes on this battlefield, and it is far from being as comfortable as the days when I was a shopkeeper in the store. ”
"Young master, there are many doorways in the mall. Can you rest assured that it will be handed over to others? I'll do the heavy lifting. When Ding Youcai heard that there was a shopkeeper, he instantly dispelled the idea of being an official, and replied with a righteous face.
"Don't say so much nice things, I can't see your little abacus?" Ziren glanced at Ding Youcai with a smile and continued: "Help me call all the generals above the general flag in the fort, and it is better to tell everyone about the happy event of army expansion as soon as possible." ”
Seeing that Ziren saw through his little tricks, he felt a little embarrassed, and immediately rushed to do it, and called everyone over in a short time.
Everyone heard that the Inspector was going to the fort to increase troops again, and he was going to drop Ziren into the pacesetter camp. Knowing that his adults would definitely soar in the future, he immediately started talking about it in full swing. Ding Bi and Wang Mingqiang have been following Ziren for a long time, and they know that Ziren will not treat him badly this time when expanding the army, and they are the most energetic.
Seeing that everyone's morale was high, Ziren couldn't help but be overjoyed, and took this opportunity to announce the personnel transfer after the expansion. Ziren roughly referred to Qi Shaobao's Qi family army in terms of troop allocation, but in order to facilitate the defense of the four sides, it was expanded into the four-four system.
The cavalry was expanded to 100 men, divided into two banners, light and heavy, and the duties of equipment remained largely unchanged. Each team is divided into two teams, with five people in each team, plus the total number of soldiers in the team, a total of 12 people. Each flag is composed of four teams, A, B, C, D, plus one flag and one escort, for a total of 50 people per flag.
The light cavalry flag is always held by Ma Shinan. Tong Dali was very hard because of his performance in the battle, and he killed three of his fellow clansmen by himself. In order to show his appreciation, Ziren made him the captain of Team A and Ma Shinan's deputy at the same time.
The heavy riding flag is always held by Wang Ming, and now the horse farm is on the right track, and Wang Xuedao can handle it alone. Ziren transferred Tang Yaoshun out as the captain of Team A and served as Wang Mingqiang's deputy.
The infantry team was organized into a sentry, led by Zhou Daqi, with two guards, one soldier, and two tiger squat cannons, each with three gunners, a total of ten people.
There are four flags under each post, and the configuration below the flag is the same as that of the cavalry, with a total of 200 foot soldiers. The total number of outposts was 210.
There is also a flag of the car battalion, which is always led by Ding Bi and accompanied by one guard. There are four teams, each team is equipped with two wheelbarrows, a total of eight chariots, and 16 three-eyed guns. Each team had the same strength as the foot soldiers and horsemen, totaling fifty men.
In addition, there is also a team of baggage soldiers, led by Cui Desheng, the number of which is temporarily uncertain, and will be recruited according to the distance of the expedition.
At present, Ziren's hands are short of bird guns and artillery, and these two teams will not make changes for the time being. After the materials are ready, it will be expanded.
Wang Xuedao, Han Shiyong, and Li Laoliu were in charge of defending the rear and were not assigned to the army for the time being.
Ding Shoutie and Ding Youcai, one is responsible for making firearms and armor, and the other is to help Ziren manage money and food.
Ding Bi, Wang Mingqiang, Ma Shinan, and Zhou Daqi were all soldiers, and they were awarded the rank of 100 battalion soldiers. Due to the shortage of men in the fort at present, Ziren asked a few people to select the flag commander, captain, and captain under his command first, and the rest of the personnel will be replenished after recruitment.
After this arrangement, everyone expressed their satisfaction with Ziren's arrangement.
Thinking of expanding the troops and horses as soon as possible, Ziren sent people to post a notice in Liaoyang City, and recruit soldiers outside the Qingqing Gate in the west of Liaoyang City at noon tomorrow.
After the bloodbath of Tong's family a few days ago, Ziren was worried that the people in the city and the rest of the army were afraid of him. It was written on the notice that all men who came to apply for the recruitment as long as they were between the ages of 16 and 30, regardless of whether they were hired or not, would be rewarded with a bucket of rice. These grains were all stolen from the Tong family, and Ziren didn't need to pay for it himself.
For the poor military households, the grain harvested last autumn has almost been eaten, and this year's grain has just been planted, and it is the time when the pot cannot be opened. This bucket of rice weighs fifteen catties now, which is enough for the family to eat several meals, and I am not afraid that they will not come.
Later, Ziren selected more than 100 strong men from the fort, wearing bright armor and bright armor, and brought all the wheelbarrows to strengthen the momentum. This Tong Yangzhen's whereabouts are unknown after he escaped, and this move is also in case the Tong family takes the opportunity to make trouble.
Worried that Hai Dongqing would sneak attack his own person a few days ago, he sneaked into the fort again. Ziren asked Ding Bi and Wang to stay in the fort to prevent accidents.
The next day, after Ziren was ready, he rushed to Liaoyang with his men and horses.
(There will be a one-day meeting tomorrow, and the next chapter will be updated around 2 o'clock on Saturday)
