After returning to the camp with the silver cart, it was handed over to the Logistics Division to be responsible for storage. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ren Siqi immediately convened everyone to discuss the matter.

Up to now, the scale of the Daishan Army's forces has been huge. Taking the army as an example, there are two armies, the navy has three sub-fleets, and the army is divided into two towns and ten battalions.

In this reinforcement of Yangzhou, none of the three commanders of the navy, Mao Shibai, Olier, and Sima Nan, were there. Sima Nan was to trade with the fleet in Luzon, Oliel was in charge of defending Daishan Island, and Mao 18 was in Chongming to train the new army and build Chongming as a new base. Yangzhou's 5,000 naval army was temporarily led by Xue Yu, the deputy commander.

All the generals of the infantry army are in Yangzhou, and the battalion level is not qualified to participate in the meeting, and only the generals of the two towns and towns, Jin Yufei and Ren Xingfan, are eligible to participate in the meeting.

In addition, the meeting was also attended by the directors of the General Military Shogunate, Li Yanzhi, director of the General Staff Department, Cao Changjiang, director of the Logistics Department, Song Liben, director of the Suppression Department, and Monroe Dutch, director of the Equipment Department.

In the Battle of Tongling, Zuo Liangyu's army of 50,000 was defeated, and the imperial court rewarded Ren Siqi as the general soldier of Ningbo Sujubo, and all the generals under him were also promoted. Although everyone's position remains the same, their official rank has been promoted by one or two levels. For example, Jin Yufei and Ren Xingfan were both promoted from 1,000 households to guerrilla generals, and the chief supervisors of each battalion were also promoted to 1,000 households.

The civilian officers of the General Staff Department were also promoted by one rank, and Li Yanzhi and other directors of the department were promoted from the sixth level of staff to the fifth level.

Two town generals, a deputy commander of the navy, four directors of the shogunate, plus Antony, the director of the Enemy Intelligence Division, and Shen Tingyang, who was specially invited to participate, together with Ren Siqi, a total of ten people participated in the meeting.

Through the Battle of Tongling and Ren Siqi's initiative to lead troops to reinforce Yangzhou, Shen Tingyang saw the strong military strength of the Daishan Army, and also admired Ren Siqi's spirit of not fearing strong enemies, and had a sense of identity with the Daishan Army.

After the killing of the ambassador of the Yangzhou Mansion Treasury that had just happened, the Daishan Army had a grudge against Yangzhou's civilian system. In order to hold Yangzhou, it is far from enough to rely on more than 20,000 troops in the city, and it is necessary to mobilize the people of the whole city to participate in the defense of the city. But if you want to mobilize the people, you have to organize them, and you can only organize them through the government.

But after this incident, Ren Siqi has completely distrusted the government of Yangzhou, and in fact, the government of Yangzhou cannot be counted on at all, otherwise Yangzhou would not have fallen so quickly in history.

Since you can't count on it, you can't count on it, the Daishan Army has its own unique administrative system, and it has a perfect system of various departments of the shogunate, so it can completely put aside the government and organize the people on its own.

After the relocation of the people from the Jiaozhou Peninsula and the development of Daishan in the past year, the system of Daishan's administrative, military and political system has been very perfect, and it is far superior to the government of Yangzhou in terms of administrative ability and efficiency.

At the beginning of the meeting, everyone at the meeting reported to Ren Siqi on the things they were responsible for.

In the great battle just now, the Daishan Army suffered more than 1,500 casualties, which can be described as a nerve-wracking injury. The bodies of more than 600 deceased people have been cremated and turned into ashes and transported back to Daishan in the future. More than 900 of the wounded have been properly resettled, and after a period of recuperation, more than half of these 900 people will return to the ranks. This is the responsibility of the Field Administration and Logistics Division.

In this battle, a large amount of booty was captured, including nearly 2,000 pairs of armor, cotton armor, chain mail, 2,500 strong bows and crossbows, and countless other spears, maces, and sabers. These are all under the supervision of the Equipment Division. The director of the division, Monroe, has already begun to overhaul the armor, and hired 100 craftsmen from Yangzhou to repair the armor, and after repairing it, it will be distributed to the troops, which will definitely greatly improve the defense of the Daishan army.

In addition, in view of the 2,500 crossbows seized, Li Yanzhi has proposed to form an archer unit. However, in order to form a new army, it is necessary to recruit new soldiers, but archers are different, and if you want to shoot, you have to train for two years. However, since such crossbows and bows were captured, they naturally could not be left idle, so Ren Siqi decided to follow Li Yanzhi's proposal and set about forming an archer unit. Mao Liu, the old brother of the original "Fuchun", was appointed as the battalion leader, and a bow battalion was formed first. As for the source of soldiers, they can be recruited from the people of Yangzhou.

The Department of Suppression and Pacification has already recorded and checked the merits of the meritorious personnel of this great war, and determined the list of rewards for non-commissioned officers, which is also a complicated matter.

Anthony, director of the Enemy Intelligence Division, reported on the enemy situation that the sentinels were probing, relying on the water network near Yangzhou that extended in all directions, the sentinels of the Enemy Intelligence Department disguised themselves as civilians and haunted Yangzhou in small boats.

In addition, dozens of small groups of Eight Banners were scattered in the wilderness, attacking various villages, killing people and setting fires, and looting property, grain and grass. Yangzhou City is surrounded by beacon fires, and mourning is everywhere.

After consulting with everyone, Ren Siqi first ordered the Enemy Intelligence Department to continue to investigate the enemy's situation. In addition to sending sentries outside the city, Ren Siqi specially told Anthony to send people to keep an eye on the movements inside the city, and many times the city gates were often opened from the inside. The Qing army outside the city certainly needs to be kept an eye on, and the other Ming troops inside the city cannot be ignored. With the solidity of Yangzhou's city, as long as it is not a combination of inside and outside, it is difficult for the Qing soldiers to capture it. As for the other Ming troops in the city, Ren Siqi was not at ease.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, and any victory requires a lot of intelligence to cooperate.

In addition, the most important thing for the Daishan army to do at present is to recruit a large number of militia to assist in defending the city.

At the luncheon in the morning, Ren Siqi presented Shi Kefa with a strategy to defend the city, and Shi Kefa reportedly immediately ordered it to be executed. But as soon as it was carried out, it encountered a setback, and only 10,000 taels of silver were raised in half a day's work. In such a big Yangzhou, countless wealthy businessmen only raised this amount of money, how could they recruit the people. As soon as Ren Siqi heard about it, he knew that relying on the government organization, he would not be able to organize enough people to defend the city when Yangzhou fell.

Historically, although Yangzhou had insufficient troops, it did not organize the people to defend the city at all, and it was captured by the Qing soldiers in just a few days. Jiangyin, which is much smaller and poorer than Yangzhou, has no army in the city at all, and relies on organizing the people to defend the city, and withstands the onslaught of the Qing army on the 81st. The incompetence of the Yangzhou government can be seen!

Shen Tingyang volunteered that he was in charge of the work of recruiting the people, and Ren Siqi agreed after thinking about it. Shen Tingyang had just joined the Daishan Army system, and he was not assigned clear responsibilities, so it was just a good time to examine his talents. However, Shen Tingyang had just joined the Daishan Army and was not familiar with the Daishan Army system, so Ren Siqi asked Li Yanzhi and others to assist him as much as possible.

Shen Tingyang served as a household minister in the Chongzhen Dynasty and was responsible for transporting military rations to Liaodong by sea. After the Beijing division was captured and the Qing troops entered the customs, Nanjing thought that Wu Sangui had borrowed troops to suppress bandits to drive the Shun army out of the Beijing division. Shen Tingyang personally recruited more than 30,000 children from his hometown and escorted hundreds of thousands of loads of grain and grass along the canal north, but the fleet was intercepted by Liu Zeqing when passing through Huai'an, and the grain soldiers were all detained.

Although it is ridiculous to send food soldiers to Wu Sangui, Shen Tingyang was able to organize the recruitment of 30,000 hometown soldiers, which shows that he himself is very talented.

As soon as the military affairs were assigned, the carriage of the Daishan Army immediately started with all its might, preparing for the upcoming complicated war! (To be continued.) )
