The order for the establishment of the five new guard divisions was also soon issued by Nanjing, and the army led by the Red Lady and Cao Bianjiao was also carried out while the fighting was temporarily suspended.

At the time of the reorganization, Cao Yue also pushed out the establishment of the Guards that had been planned long ago, and formed a Guards Army with three Guards divisions, with more than 60,000 people in each army, a total of five Guards. Except for the change in the establishment, the positions of the generals will not be adjusted for the time being. Although Cao Yue wanted to implement the kind of official positions such as army commander and division commander in later generations, in order to avoid confusion, he decided to temporarily adopt the official position system that has been used in the Ming Dynasty to this day.

The highest military commander of the Guards is the general soldier, and the chief officer of the Guards Division is the staff general.

The general army of the First Guards Army is concurrently served by Cao Bianjiao, with jurisdiction over the first, third, and fourth guards divisions, and the generals are Cao Jie, Zhao Liang, and Cao Neng; The general commander of the Second Guards Army is Huang Degong, with jurisdiction over the Fifth, Sixth, and Eleventh Guards Divisions, and the staff members are Zhao Zhen, Wu Ju, and Li Sheng; The general army of the Third Guards Army is the Red Lady, with jurisdiction over the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth Guards Divisions, and the generals are Cao San, Li Qing, and Li Hu, and the general of the Fourth Guards Army is temporarily vacant, with the second, tenth, and fifteenth Guards Divisions under its jurisdiction, responsible for the defense of Nanjing, and the generals are Zhao Tai, Cao San, and Zhang Shiqing respectively; The general army of the Fifth Guards Army was temporarily concurrently served by Yuan Jixian, the squire of the military department, and had jurisdiction over the sixth, seventh, and eighth guard divisions, and the generals were Wu Xin, Cao Qian, and Chang Yansong.

Now, except for the second, seventh to tenth five guard divisions that are not in Shandong, the rest of the men and horses are in Liaocheng and Linqing. The 2nd and 10th Guards Divisions are now in Nanjing, and the 7th, 8th, and 9th Guards Divisions rushed to the front line in Hubei when Zuo Liangyu was in turmoil.

Cao Yue of the Second Guards was handed over to Huang Degong as commander, in order to take this opportunity to collect Huang Degong for his own use. This is a famous fierce general in history, and this person has the best performance among the four towns in Jiangbei. Cao Yue wanted to reuse him.

Huang Degong was entrusted with the post of chief soldier, which surprised Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo and was also very stimulated. They strongly hoped that they could be treated equally, and even be satisfied with any rank in the army, but Cao Yue refused. Cao Yue just told them that now that they are the governors of the five armies, they should do this thing first, and Huang De is also the chief soldier, and he has always performed well before, and this time he led the army to fight. He also made war exploits. If their performance satisfies the imperial court and the Metropolitan Governor's Office in the future, they may also have the opportunity to serve as the commander-in-chief and continue to lead the army to fight.

Cao Yue's words, there is still a vacancy in the general guard army, and Cao Yue also said that the new army that is being trained in Nanjing will also be reorganized into the Guards, which makes Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo see hope, and they repeatedly expressed it to Cao Yue. They will change their past mistakes and be new people, so that the court will be satisfied and Cao Yue will be reassured.

The Red Lady was appointed as the chief soldier of the Third Guards. This is very unexpected, after all, the red lady is from a rogue and a woman, but Cao Yue's appointment. In the end, no one objected. Most people know that now the red lady has committed to Cao Yue, only one name and Cao Yue's official announcement is missing. And the red lady has made good achievements. No one will stand up against Cao Yue's appointment.

The female generation holds this important position, and the red lady is not the first person, before the imperial court has issued an edict, appointing another woman, the famous heroine Qin Liangyu, as the chief soldier.

Cao Bianjiao and the main generals in the Red Women's Army were also appointed as generals and continued to lead the army.

Cao Yue's arrangement made Cao Bianjiao and the Red Lady quite satisfied, and the Red Lady was even quite surprised, she was moved by Cao Yue's kindness to her, and reciprocated in terms of feelings. On the night when Cao Yue revealed the news to her, she was excited, and Haosheng served Cao Yue several times, and even Cao Yue had asked before, but some of the actions she was unwilling to agree to under her shyness were also completed with Cao Yue.

The imperial court also quickly replied to Cao Yue's proposal and agreed to Cao Yue's arrangement, and the Metropolitan Governor's Office and the Ministry of War also officially followed, once again carried out military reform, established the Guards, and entrusted many high-ranking generals to the general military positions.

In Shandong, there are still some rebellious soldiers, Cao Yue ordered the Fifth Guards Division to be responsible for eliminating these rebellious troops, several main Guards Divisions are responsible for frontal defense, and the rest of the men and horses are reorganized and trained.

The people of the Red Lady and Cao Bianjiao are not very suitable for the tactics adopted by Cao Yue now, and they must be familiar with and accept them, so that they can exert their greatest combat effectiveness. Training between wars is certainly better than training on the school ground, and the training effect can also be tested in the following actual combat.

The Red Lady has always been a hot-tempered woman, and now in addition to showing a woman's gentleness to Cao Yue, she still looks like a tigress to others.

In order to save face for Cao Yue and convince other generals, the red lady was personally responsible for training, and the requirements were very strict, and laziness was never allowed. Women are much more ruthless than men when they are serious, and they pity the tens of thousands of sergeants under her command, and the intensity of training they carry out every day is higher than that of several other guard divisions.

And the strict requirements of the Red Lady have also had a demonstration effect, and several other guards who have just been adapted are also unwilling to lag behind, and the training intensity is also on par, and the training effect is not worse than that of the Red Lady, a woman, otherwise it will be a loss of face for men.

This kind of training, the effect is still quite good, plus these are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and their military quality is far from being comparable to that of newly recruited recruits, and they are not the first firearms, and the training results are very surprising.

At least Cao Yue didn't expect that these newly adapted guards would train so hard, and the effect would be so good.

Seeing that the training results of the newly formed Guards Division were so outstanding, Cao Yue said happily when discussing the training results with Cao Bianjiao, Hongniangzi and others, as well as the war situation, if the current training situation is followed, when the next big war starts, the combat effectiveness of these newly formed Guards Divisions is likely to surpass that of several other Guards Divisions.

Of course, the red lady will not lose face in front of Cao Yue, she proudly said that the performance of the people and horses she brought on the battlefield will definitely be better than that of the brother troops, and she will make Cao Yue reap the surprise. Cao Yue believed that what the Red Lady said was not a big word, and he also looked forward to the start of the next big war, and all the centaurs would be able to put themselves on the battlefield as soon as possible.

However, the situation soon changed again, and Dolgon, perhaps sensing that the Ming army's slow northward advance had a special purpose, and they were unwilling to allow the progress of the war to be controlled by the Ming army, and took the initiative to attack Cao Yue when he did not intend to start another major battle.
