Within one month, Du Shihui received letters from Feng Linge, Sun Liechen, Wu Junsheng and Ma Longtan, asking them to send people to collect local bandits and horse thieves, and in the letters, only Ma Longtan said that he could join the garrison, and the other three said that they could join the mercenaries.

Du Shihui also successively sent three senior staff officers to lead one regiment of the Xia Empire's Praetorian Guards to collect the bandits in Fengtian, Jilin and Heilongjiang, and sent the deputy commander of the cavalry division to lead one cavalry regiment to collect the horse thieves in Tongliao.

The officer who led the team to Tsing Makan was a senior staff officer of the Governor's Office of the Peninsula Special Administrative Region, named Li Fucai.

Du Lisan suggested sending his uncle Du Mulin to Liaozhong County with Feng Linge to meet Li Fucai.

Feng Linge knew that he had not yet announced the incorporation of Du Lisan's troops, and now it was inconvenient for Du Lisan to come forward, so he agreed to Du Lisan's suggestion.

In Liaozhong County, Li Fucai first learned about the situation of the bandits from Feng Linge and Du Mulin, and worked out a preliminary reorganization plan.

After introducing each other, Li Fucai first said: "Feng Tongdao, I will soon congratulate you on your promotion to Brigade Commander Feng or General Feng." ”

"Haha, then you still need a lot of support from Staff Officer Li, and you can only do it after completing the task, now the matter has not been completed, and there is no way to give an account to General Du, not yet."

"Be sure to treat yourself then!"

"Please by all means, even for a week!"

"Okay, I made a note of it, this is what you said, you have to invite for a week, Du Xiucai is a witness, and we will go together at that time! Let's only order the expensive ones and eat up all his private money! ”

Du Xiucai is an honest man, seeing that Li Fucai is so kind and casual, he immediately has a good impression of these soldiers, and is full of expectations for the reorganization, and hurriedly says: "I must go!" ”

"Later, don't talk too much, now I'll tell General Du's reorganization plan first, and the two of you will think about it again."

"Speak!"

"The first is that one-third of all the cottages' floating wealth is left for the cottages to dispose of by themselves, and two-thirds are confiscated as the initial cost of forming two mercenary brigades and the cost of resettlement of eliminated personnel. How do you two feel? ”

Feng Linge and Du Mulin had no opinion on this article, originally they thought that they would hand over all the property of the cottage, but they didn't expect that the Xia Empire didn't take a fancy to these things at all, but used the money on them in different ways, I believe that Du Lisan and the big bosses of the cottage everywhere will also accept such conditions, and immediately agreed.

"Well, the second point is that we must eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled, those who are unwilling to continue to serve in the army, and those who are not suitable for joining the army, and these people must ensure that they will not do evil and harm society in the future; The arrangement for these people is willing to farm, and each person can arrange 20 acres of cooked land or 30 acres of wasteland in Fengtian, and distribute grain, enough for them to eat until this autumn, and will also distribute grain seeds and farm tools, and organize people to help build houses and other work; For those who are unwilling to farm, they can be given 50 taels of silver per person, and they will be able to fend for themselves in the future; Of course, if you are afraid that there are too many enemies in the local area, you can also choose to live on the territory of the Xia Empire. What do you think? ”

After thinking for a while, Du Mulin said: "Staff Officer Li, the conditions for agricultural personnel can be said to be very generous, but people who want to engage in business or self-employment are only paid 50 taels of silver, is it less?" ”

Li Fucai said: "Du Xiucai, this is because the government does not want them to be self-employed, but wants to all go to farming. If you want to engage in other professions, you can wait for your life to be stable before you go to business and other things, even if you fail to do business, at least you still have dozens of acres of land to live, so as not to embark on the road of beard again. This is for their personal sake. ”

Feng Linge and Du Xiucai felt that Li Fucai's words were reasonable, so they agreed to this condition.

"The third condition is that all soldiers must be trained, and those who are not trained will still be arranged to work in agriculture at that time; For officers, they are divided into junior officers and senior officers, below the pipe band, that is, we say that the battalion commander below is the junior officer, and the battalion commander and above are the senior officers, respectively, to the higher military academy and the military academy for training, and then after passing the training, they will take up a post in the army, which will be fine-tuned according to the academic performance. ”

Du Mulin asked worriedly: "At that time, the government won't find an excuse to cancel everyone's official positions, right?" ”

"Du Xiucai, you are too worried, a senior officer is still a senior officer, but the original plan was to be the regiment commander, and he may serve as the deputy regiment commander or battalion commander, and the plan to be the battalion commander may serve as the regiment commander.

Hearing Li Fucai say this, Feng Linge and Du Xiucai were also relieved.

"The official position is limited, and there are many people who need to be arranged, so this time, according to General Du's opinion, the establishment of two brigades has been increased, and the officers of each brigade are: 1 brigade commander, 1 deputy brigade commander, 1 brigade chief of staff; Below are the 3 infantry regiment commanders, 3 deputy regiment commanders and 3 regimental staff officers; Deputy Brigade Commander, Brigade Chief of Staff and Regiment Commander with the rank of Colonel, Deputy Regiment Commander and Regiment Staff Officer with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel; Below are 12 infantry battalion commanders, 1 baggage battalion commander, 1 cavalry battalion commander, 1 artillery battalion commander, if there is no suitable artillery battalion commander, it will be transferred from outside, and the battalion commander is a major; As for the deputy battalion commander and battalion commissar, they have the rank of captain and belong to junior officers. The rest are company commanders, platoon commanders and squad leaders, and the number of officers at the lower level is 4 to 5 times the number of officers at the upper level, so there are enough posts to arrange the four beams and eight pillars in the cottages. ”

Everyone had no opinion, Feng Linge and Du Mulin first went back to Qingmakan to report the specific reorganization plan with Du Lisan and other big bosses of the cottage, and Li Fucai also sent a middle-level staff officer to go back with them, and then explain what Feng and Du Xiucai did not understand.

In the cottage, Du Lisan led the four beams and eight pillars and the big bosses of the cottage to listen to Du Xiucai's explanation and asked: "If the trained officers are really not suitable, and the generals are pulled out of the camel, will it affect the combat effectiveness of the troops?" ”

The middle-level staff officer in charge of the explanation said: "Of course, it will affect the combat effectiveness, and this matter will be discussed with the brigade commander, Chief of Staff Lu, and others at that time, or promote talented people from within, this is the most ideal plan, if it really doesn't work, it will be withdrawn, and let the deputy regiment commander or deputy brigade commander and others act as agents for a period of time, and if it doesn't work, they can only transfer officers from other mercenary forces." After all, it affects combat effectiveness and is not beneficial to anyone. Therefore, when recommending officers this time, everyone should be based on ability, not personal feelings, otherwise it will really kill people at that time. ”

Everyone felt that the Xia Empire had considered it very comprehensively, and all agreed to accept the adaptation according to this plan.

First of all, the old, weak, sick and disabled and those who were unwilling to join the army were eliminated, and all of them chose to live in the leased land, that is, in the peninsula special administrative region, and Du Shihui arranged for them to live around Gaizhou, and arranged for the bandits eliminated from Jilin and Heilongjiang in Wafangdian, Dalian, Dandong and other places.

After screening, it was found that there were still 55,000 remaining bandits, and Du Shihui sent a telegram back, saying: Train first, and then select some to join the garrison.

Du Lisan and the rest of the big bosses can also accept soldiers and some officers to garrison the army, as long as the government can make reasonable arrangements and not abandon them, they can accept it.

In this way, Fengtian and Jilin formed 4 mercenary brigades, and Heilongjiang formed a mercenary brigade.

The horse thieves and bandits in Tongliao and the surrounding areas were also recruited, and two cavalry brigades of 6,000 men and one infantry regiment of 3,000 men were prepared to be formed. However, due to the relatively good physical fitness of the horse thieves, the number of eliminated people was too small, and the horse thieves in Rehe and other places also came to accept the reorganization after hearing the news, so that the number greatly exceeded the original estimate, so Sun Liechen had to let Sun Liechen incorporate all the qualified cavalry, and then increase the establishment of 1 cavalry brigade, and the remaining cavalry could only be arranged in the cavalry battalions of other mercenaries.

The increase in the number of cavalry was also for the convenience of troops entering Outer Mongolia or fighting against Russia in the future, but Russia had a strong cavalry force, and only cavalry could be used to restrain the cavalry of the Russian Empire.

So far, Du Shihui has completely absorbed the bandits and horse thieves in the northeast, and there are only a few bandits and horse thieves who do not accept the integration.

Xu Shichang sighed, there is still a strong army to do things, the bandits in the northeast have been rampant for hundreds of years, and the government has been unsuccessful in clearing so many times, but he didn't expect that the Xia Empire was just intimidating, and he was obediently recruited.
