In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Li Shiyuan attacked the city and plundered the land in Qingzhou, making a lot of noise, it is said that he has captured more than ten prefectures and counties, looking at his appetite, he plans to occupy the entire Qingzhou Mansion and then attack Jinan.

However, Li Ding did not follow Li Shiyuan to Qingzhou, but remained in the Daishan army. It's not that Li Shiyuan doesn't want his son to follow him, or that Ren Siqi won't let him go, but that Li Ding is unwilling to leave the Daishan Army, and he doesn't know what he thinks.

Compared with Li Shiyuan, Ren Siqi can be said to be very quiet. defeated thousands of Qing soldiers and captured Wang Aoyong, so that the prestige of the Daishan army in Jiaozhou increased dramatically, but Ren Siqi neither took advantage of the situation to attack the city and seize the land, nor did he do anything else, but honestly stayed in Jiaozhou to train troops.

This war has benefited the Daishan army a lot, since the formation of the army, the Daishan army has not experienced a serious land battle, after this war exposed many shortcomings.

Ren Siqi summoned Sha Qianli, Chen Mingyang, Ren Likun and other generals, and discussed day and night how to improve the strength of the Daishan Army.

The issue of the troops' equipment was the most frequently raised. At present, the equipment of the Daishan Army is too rudimentary, and it is not even as good as the Green Battalion soldiers who surrendered to the Manchus. The green battalion soldiers of the bad people basically have a mandarin duck battle jacket per person, which can guard against the shooting of ordinary bows and arrows, and the generals and family members are also equipped with iron armor.

As for the Daishan Army, most of them wore single-cloth military uniforms, and there were no mandarin duck battle jackets, let alone armor. In the whole army, there are not ten pieces of armor in total, and only one for generals above the captain level, but they are all shelved, and no one wears armor during battle.

A set of armor is thirty or forty pounds, and it is a hot weather, so they are very uncomfortable wearing it on their bodies, and they don't want to wear it.

As a result, when they fired across the river from the Qing soldiers, nearly 100 soldiers were killed and wounded, including five or six small flags and two general flags.

After deliberation and discussion, Ren Siqi decided to put the improvement of the defense capability of the whole army on the agenda.

Recruit all the carpenters and blacksmiths in Jiaozhou to make armor, shields and other armor for the Daishan army. Draw a thousand people from the newly recruited recruits as sword and shield soldiers, and specialize in shield defense.

The production process of armor is too complicated, and it takes at least more than a month to make a piece of armor, so Ren Siqi ordered to make a shield with all his strength first, and be sure to make a thousand pairs in a short time.

In the battle half a month ago, a large amount of materials were captured by the Qing soldiers, including 35 pairs of armor, thousands of shields, spears and swords, and a large amount of food, cloth, banners, and war drums, which could arm at least an army of thousands of people.

The formation training of the recruits had just ended, and Ren Siqi immediately ordered the weapons to be distributed, so a team of 3,000 recruits was formed. Together with the original 2,000 veterans, Ren Siqi has an army of 5,000 people in his hands.

But when there are more troops, things become extremely complicated, logistical supplies, training, baggage, marching, and so on. For the new army of the Daishan Army, it is a new course.

Fortunately, there is still Huang Fengwu, who is familiar with "The Actual Record of Military Training" and "The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", she knows a lot about how to do this, but she didn't have the opportunity to practice before.

And although Ren Siqi doesn't know much about leading soldiers, he has the knowledge of later generations in his head.

After discussing with Huang Fengwu, Ren Siqi decided to open a guerrilla general shogunate to assist him in managing the army.

The shogunate had four divisions: staff, logistics, equipment, and pacification, and the staff department was in charge of operations, training, enemy situation, and military affairs. The Logistics Department is in charge of barracks, baggage transportation, material procurement, food and property, etc. The Equipment Department is in charge of the production, purchase, storage, and distribution of weapons throughout the army. The Department of Suppression and Pacification is in charge of military discipline in the whole army, responsible for punishing officers and soldiers who violate discipline, and responsible for the registration and verification of combat exploits on the battlefield.

Every dispatch of troops to fight is a complex project involving many levels, and having such a complete set of institutions is of great significance to the management of the army in the future.

As for the candidates for the heads of the four divisions, the chief of staff needs to make suggestions to the chief generals, check and fill in the gaps, and need people who are familiar with military affairs and have a strategy. In the current Daishan Army, Huang Fengwu is also qualified for this position. But Huang Fengwu is a female streamer after all, and she does not belong to the Daishan military system, which is quite unjustifiable.

At present, Ren Siqi is willing to serve as the director of the Logistics Department by Cao Changjiang, but Cao Changjiang's character is very good, but his knowledge is too shallow. Ren Siqi decided that he would first serve as the director, and then match him with some capable subordinates.

The position of the Equipment Department may seem unimportant, but it is actually very important to the future of the Daishan Army. If an army wants to become stronger, the first thing it needs is the complete weapon, muskets, artillery, armor and shields, and various war equipment, which are the equipment that the Daishan Army will focus on making in the future. The position of director requires a technical officer. At present, only the Dutchman Monroe knows how to make guns in the Daishan Army, and Ren Siqi decided to hand over the equipment department to Monroe. After all, Monroe is a Dutchman, and he is not suitable to be a senior general who directly leads the troops, and it is also suitable to manage equipment.

As for the Suppression Division, the current suppression officer of the Daishan Army is Song Liben, so he will continue to serve as it.

During the discussion with Huang Fengwu and others, Ren Siqi's future guerrilla general shogunate gradually took shape in his heart. Ren Siqi is busy with various affairs during the day, and writes down the ideas in his heart at night.

Time passed like this, and in a blink of an eye, it was mid-July, and the fleet returning to Daishan had been gone for a month, so it should be back soon!

Nearly 4,000 soldiers have been recruited, and their families are nearly 4,000. In addition, there are hundreds of various craftsmen, medical craftsmen, and dozens of scholars and their families. There were even many gentry who asked Ren Siqi to take the Daishan army's ships to Jiangnan. Not all of the gentry were willing to live under foreign rule, and if the Daishan army left, Jiaozhou would soon fall into the hands of the Manchus again. For some gentry with integrity, although they left their homeland in Jiangnan, it was better than living under foreign rule.

The rumors that the Manchus forced the people to shave their heads in Beijing have spread all over Shandong, and the hair and skin of the body come from their parents, how can they be easily shaved? The service of the Han people is handed down by the ancestors, if you obey the orders of the Manchus, wouldn't it be abandoning China and becoming barbarians? This is unacceptable to many readers.

Therefore, many gentry came to visit Ren Siqi, thinking that they could take the Daishan army's warship to Jiangnan.

Of course, they didn't want to take refuge in Daishan, and Ren Siqi, a small guerrilla general, was not in their eyes. Their purpose is to settle in Jiangnan, Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Ren Siqi didn't want to pay attention to the demands of these people, because the sailboats of the Daishan Army were already very nervous about loading soldiers and immigrants. Thinking about it later, it was better for these people to move to Jiangnan than to take refuge in the Qing Dynasty. So he agreed, but it was not for nothing, and each passenger asked for a hundred taels of silver. (To be continued.) )
