After Shen Wansan and Ziren arrived, Shen Yourong was talking to a person in the room with the generals of the firearms battalion. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info look at the dress of this person, he should also be a military general. Ziren didn't know this person, so he hurriedly asked Shen Wansan for advice. Shen Wansan knew a lot about the person who came, and introduced it to Ziren: This person's name is Yang Shaoxun, a former Tunwei from Guangning. He was the battalion officer of the "pacesetter battalion" under Gu Yangqian, the governor of Liaodong, with the rank of guerrilla.

The pacesetter battalion is a type of battalion soldier, which is led by the governor or governor. The battalion is the main force of the towns on the nine sides, and because of the different generals under the li, it is divided into four types: positive, odd, aid, and guerrilla. The tasks are also different.

The regular soldier is the commander of the general army. In addition to guarding the general army, there are also tasks such as responding to the police, setting up the side in autumn, and cooperating with the towns.

The odd soldier corresponds to the deputy chief soldier. The so-called surprise soldier cover means to win by surprise, and there are three main tasks: waiting for help, ambush defense and perennial defense. There are three kinds of deputy commanders, including town guards, sub-guards, and assistant guards, only Shanxi Town has a town guard deputy commander-in-chief, Gansu Town has a sub-guard deputy commander-in-chief, and the others are mostly assistants. Taking Liaodong Town as an example, Zu Chengxun is the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaoyang, Qin Deyi is the deputy commander-in-chief of the West Road of Liaodong Town, and Sun Shoulian is the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong East Road and so ......on.

The reinforcements are under the command of the generals, who are also important generals in the nine sides. The general army is in command of the generals, and the generals are in charge of the garrison. The generals and guerrillas are not subordinate, but their status is slightly higher than that of the guerrillas. The main tasks of the generals and their reinforcements include guarding the main road, cooperating with all roads, cooperating with all troops, supporting other towns, and preventing autumn swings.

The guerrillas were set up to provide reinforcement and were commanded by the guerrillas. The name of guerrilla is to be in the center and gallop in all directions, and there is generally no fixed defense area. The guerrillas were only responsible to the commander-in-chief and governor, and their status was higher than that of the garrison but lower than that of the generals. The guerrillas and the guerrillas under their command have the following five duties: defending their own towns, supporting their own towns, assisting other towns, joining the Beijing Division, and patrolling guards.

Guerrilla Yang Shaoxun and Shen Yourong are Gu Yangqian's right-hand men, and they are quite good on weekdays. Before the expedition, I came specially to discuss important matters.

When Ziren was transferred, he was the chief flag officer of the firearms battalion, but this was only an official position on paper, and there was no such position in the firearms battalion now. This was due to the perfunctory handling of the transfer order by the Nanjing Military Department and the failure to conduct a detailed investigation. Ziren obviously joined the battalion, and he did take up the official position of a guard army.

There is a clear difference between the Ming Dynasty guard army and the battalion soldiers:

The military subordinate guards are under the jurisdiction of the small banner, the general banner, the hundred households, the thousand households, the commander of the guard, the commander of the capital, and the governor's office of the five armies. The military and officials of the guard are hereditary, and only the governors of the five armies and the capital are not hereditary, and they are the current officials, and they are selected by the officials of the hereditary guard and the martial arts. The military and official military registrations of the guards, with their families, live in the same place, and are passed down from generation to generation, basically no longer changing. The station of each guard post is fixed, the number of sergeants is fixed, and there are also regulations on the establishment of generals. In short, under the system of guards, power is decentralized, and soldiers and generals are separated. However, after Jingtai, the power of the military department rose, and the military department was the governor of military affairs, seized the power of the five prefectures, and the officials of the five prefectures were changed to false titles.

The battalion is subordinate to the commander, the captain, the sentinel, the general, the garrison, the commander, the guerrilla, the general, the deputy commander-in-chief, and the general soldier, and is directly under the military department. Soldiers are generally not hereditary, with the exception of those who have been converted from the guard army to the soldier. There is no regulation on the registration of soldiers, the period of military service is not long, and they generally do not serve for life. The battalion soldiers do not follow their families, and they are closer to the modern military system. There is no rank of battalion officers, and some are official products under the system of the guard, with no fixed number and no hereditary. The battalion soldiers and the battalion generals are accustomed to each other, and there is no need to be appointed by the imperial court in wartime, and they are directly led by the general deputy to the expedition. After the relative increase in the power of the general, the soldiers can be recruited by the generals themselves, and the callers have a close relationship with the callees, and even when the main general changes, the soldiers will disperse.

Ziren didn't know his position in the firearms camp for a while, so he walked into the room with Shen Wansan. When everyone saw him walking with Shen Wansan, they thought that he was the leader of Shen Yourong's family, so they didn't care. Ziren listened to the conversation in the room for a while, and had already heard the intention of Yang Shaoxun's trip.

This time, the Mongol tribes invaded on a large scale because of the snowstorm on the steppe a few years ago, and the losses of the tribes were not small. So just after the New Year, they gathered people and horses to come to Liaodong, ready to plunder and go back to make up for the losses.

Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, saw that the enemy was strong and poor, and he was unwilling to engage him. It was just that the forts and passes in Liaodong were strictly ordered to clear the fields, and the troops were waiting to wait and see, wanting to wait for the enemy to retreat.

Governor Gu Yangqian set up the main battle, and then left the garrison of Guangning and came to Liaoyang to gather people from all walks of life. Li Chengliang has been stationed in Liaodong for nearly 20 years, and his protégés have long been all over Liaodong. Seeing that he was unwilling to fight, most of the people from all walks of life in Liaodong dragged their feet. Only Haizhou General Li Ning and Liaodong Deputy General Sun Shoulian each arrived with a battalion of soldiers and horses. Li Ning was still under the repeated urging of Yang Hao, the commander of Liaohai Province, before he led his troops to come. Coupled with the strange battalion under Zu Chengxun stationed in Liaoyang, and the firearms battalion and pacesetter battalion under Gu Yangqian, there are about 12,000 soldiers and horses.

This is based on Qi Jiguang's training statistics in the four towns of Jizhou, Changping, Baoding, and Liaodong during the Longqing period with the title of governor and governor, and his infantry battalion as an example, that is, it was compiled according to the sequence of departments, divisions, bureaus, flags, and teams.

A team of 12 people is set up, and each team has a team leader; The three teams are one flag, each flag has a total of one flag, and the whole flag has 37 officers and soldiers; The three flags are a bureau, each bureau has a total of 100 people, and a total of 112 officers and soldiers; The four bureaus are a division, each division has a total of one general, and a total of 449 officers and soldiers; The two divisions are one department, each with a total of 1,000 people, and a total of 899 officers and soldiers. The three divisions consisted of one battalion, with one general, one Chinese army, one firearms officer, and 2,697 officers and men below the division, totaling 2,700 people.

In addition to the general's subordinates, the number of people in each battalion was about 3,000, and the four battalions together were about 12,000 people. The firearms battalion, which numbered less than 1,000 people, was not counted. Considering that many generals in the Ming Dynasty had the habit of eating empty salaries, this number should be only a small number.

Seeing that most of Li Chengliang's men were reluctant to fight, Yang Shaoxun wanted to take this opportunity to compete for a vanguard. However, his pacesetter battalion was short of firearms, so he came to Shen Yourong, thinking that the two would fight together. He made meritorious contributions in front of the governor, and he was able to be promoted to a knighthood in the future.

A few years ago, he went to Haixi Jurchen Yehe to fight, and Shen Yourong was the first to break the city, plus his previous merits, he should have been able to become the commander of Xuanzhou (from Sanpin). But for some reason, when he was transferred to Liaodong, his name was mistakenly written as Shen Youse, so the military department thought that it was not his original military status, and only rewarded him with 400 taels of silver. Shen Yourong had no choice but to join the military membership of Guangning Zhongwei, and accumulated merit to become a thousand households (Zheng Wupin). In this way, the difference is very far, and there is a lot of injustice in my heart at this time. intended to go on the expedition with Yang Shaoxun, so he urgently called his generals to discuss matters.

Everyone has been in Liaodong for many years and has been repeatedly suppressed by the generals under Li Chengliang. Seeing the opportunity to fight as a pioneer, their fighting spirit increased greatly for a while, and they agreed to fight with Yang Shaoxun. Ziren was very happy to see that there was a battle to fight, so he echoed with everyone.

Seeing this situation, Shen Yourong felt that the morale of the army could fight. hurriedly dragged Yang Shaoxun to the Inspectorate, preparing to ask the governor for help. At the same time, Ziren and Shen Wansan were specially ordered to accompany him.
