Chapter 193: Re-expansion of the Army (Subscription Requested)

Sun Liechen's arrival was definitely a surprise among surprises for Yang Xingguo. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

More than 1,000 former officers and soldiers had just been arranged, and Sun Liechen, who was full of incomprehension, was brought into the headquarters by Yang Xingguo.

Although I don't know if this Sun Liechen came to the Liaodong Army with other purposes.

However, relying on the evaluation of Sun Liechen by later history, Yang Xingguo decisively decided to reuse Sun Liechen.

Historically, although Sun Liechen did not study at a military school, he served as the chief of staff of the Northeast Army for several years. Not only did he manage the Liaodong Army in an orderly manner, but during his tenure, he also established the Northeast Arsenal and the Northeast Military Academy for the Northeast Hardship......

Coupled with Sun Liechen's veritable ability to lead troops, it is not an exaggeration to use the four words of civil and military all-round talent to describe Sun Liechen.

Without consulting with Zhou Zhongju, Yang Xingguo directly decided to form the fifth battalion of the Liaodong Army, with Sun Liechen as the battalion commander.

Of course, the position of this battalion commander was only a transition for Sun Liechen.

In the absence of other talents, as long as there is no accident, this Sun Liechen must be the best candidate for the chief of staff of the Liaodong Army.

As soon as Sun Lichen left the headquarters with a complicated expression of shock and excitement, Zhou Zhongju reminded with a worried face.

"Commander, don't you worry that this Sun Liechen is a pawn of Shengjing's general Zengqi to enter our Liaodong Army......"

"Worried...... Of course I'm worried about ......," Yang Xingguo replied without thinking.

Seeing that Zhou Zhongju was about to continue to say something, Yang Xingguo decisively waved his hand and interrupted.

"It was because I was worried about these problems that I made him the commander of the fifth battalion......"

Speaking of this, Yang Xingguo's face directly showed a smile full of mystery.

He continued to Zhou Zhongju: "Second uncle, you have to believe in my vision...... This Sun Liechen is definitely a talent, and he is also a big fortune, even if the position of chief of staff of the Liaodong Army is given to him, he can be competent......"

Speaking of this, a trace of apology quickly appeared on Yang Xingguo's face, and he continued: "Also, second uncle. Now the Liaodong Army is getting bigger and bigger...... I plan to let you step down from the post of chief of staff after a while, and be in charge of logistics and intelligence of the Liaodong Army......"

Zhou Zhongju replied without thinking: "No problem...... Your second uncle, I'm not a power-hungry person......"

"Besides, I've never led an army. I didn't go to a military school either, so I wasn't fit to be a chief of staff at all......"

"As for intelligence and logistics, I am good at it, and I like it......"

"Also, logistics and intelligence are for the Liaodong Army. are all important. As the Liaodong Army grew in size, there were more and more things in these two aspects...... Commander, you have to choose a henchman as soon as possible to take over logistics or intelligence ......"

"I'm getting older, and even if I'm only in charge of logistics and intelligence, I'm a little overwhelmed......"

The news that the Liaodong Army had formed the fifth battalion and that Sun Liechen was the battalion commander spread throughout Liaozhong in just one day.

For the original old man of the Liaodong Army, Sun Liechen's sudden rise in the Liaodong Army made many people's hearts full of jealousy.

But it's more about curiosity.

I wonder who Sun Liechen is. What kind of ability does he have, as soon as he came to the Liaodong Army, he was entrusted with a heavy task by the commander.

You must know that in their acquaintance, Yang Xingguo has always been a fair person.

Sun Liechen can be so valued by Yang Xingguo, which means that Sun Liechen must have some outstanding ability.

For the more than 1,000 former imperial court officers and soldiers stationed in the headquarters, Sun Liechen served as the battalion commander, and this good news directly made them full of expectations for their future.

Commander Yang Xingguo can reuse Sun Liechen, then he can reuse them, and it also proves that Yang Xingguo's words at the beginning are not false.

In the Liaodong Army, it doesn't matter when you join. What was the status before joining. As long as he becomes the Liaodong Army, Commander Yang Xingguo will treat everyone equally.

I thought of the salary of the Liaodong Army, which was much higher than that of the official army, and thought of the generous pension after the death of the Liaodong Army. More than 1,000 people gradually have expectations for their future.

And so it goes. The reintegration of the troops has been very smooth.

In less than two days, a new main battalion was reorganized by Sun Liechen.

Of course, in order to ensure that there would be no gangs and factions in the Liaodong Army, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers from the imperial court were directly reorganized into seven companies by Yang Xingguo.

Four main battalions, each supplemented by a company.

As for the four additional companies, three of them and one of them were drawn out. It was mixed into the Fifth Combat Battalion of the Liaodong Army.

As for the remaining two integrated companies of officers and soldiers, they were drawn from the four main battalions, and the remaining one company was reorganized into a new battalion, with Zhou Zhongju temporarily serving as the battalion commander......

For this result, Yang Xingguo is very satisfied and very happy.

What Yang Xingguo didn't expect was that the joy here was just the beginning.

As soon as the news spread that more than 1,000 former officers and soldiers had voluntarily left the army and joined the Liaodong Army.

Throughout the Guanwai, countless people of insight who were on the sidelines, including even some bandits, flocked to Liaozhong one after another, demanding to join the Liaodong Army.

In less than 10 days, the new battalion of the headquarters broke through from the original 600 people to an astonishing 2,000 people.

However, before Yang Xingguo had time to be happy, Zhou Zhongju's complaint reached Yang Xingguo's ears.

"Commander, the new battalion has been overnumbered too much, and there is no way to train at all......"

"Also, the weapons and ammunition we gave Zengqi are really worth it, and it has only been a long time since we have recruited so many new soldiers. If this continues, in another ten days, the strength of the newly formed battalion will exceed 3,000 people, and it is possible to ......."

"With such a large scale of new formation, I can't manage and train, and I can't manage ......."

Yang Xingguo thought for a while and replied: "The new battalion of 2,000 people, and they are all recruits, is indeed difficult to manage and train......

Zhou Zhongju said with a look of agreement: "Commander, it's not just these ......"

"The key is that these two thousand recruits are mixed, they have all backgrounds, and no one is convinced, they must be dispersed as soon as possible, otherwise, something will happen sooner or later......"

"Then continue to expand the army......" Yang Xingguo, after a short hesitation, decisively decided.

"The guard company, the reconnaissance company, all expanded into guard battalions, reconnaissance battalions. In this way, two thousand recruits will remove eight hundred......"

"Of course, the recruits who are replenished to the guard company and the reconnaissance company must be well-skilled, well-born, and have no bad deeds......"

"There are 1,200 people left, leaving 200 people to lay the foundation, and the remaining 1,000 people are evenly divided into five combat battalions, so that they can be mixed into the troops, and another combat company will be formed. All the officers accept their orders, they just decide for themselves and report to the command......"

"Also, in the future, as long as the total strength of the newly formed battalion exceeds 1,000 people, it will be divided, and the five combat battalions will be expanded by one company each."

"However, it is important to note that those recruits who have just joined the Liaodong Army must be mixed with the veterans, and they must not be allowed to ...... together" (to be continued. )
