Chapter 228: Establishment and Training

The establishment of the newly established infantry army is basically as follows: 10 people have a small banner, and there is a small flag officer, which is divided into two armies, with the small flag officer leading one army and the other army selecting one person as the captain.

The five small flags are a general flag, with a general flag, a flag bearer, and two guards, a total of 54 people.

The three general flags are a team, with one team leader, four guards, one team supervisor, four team guardians, two flag bearers and two drummers, a total of 176 people. The team leader and team supervisor are 100 household titles.

The four teams are a battalion, with one battalion leader, eight guards, one battalion supervisor, eight direct guards, four standard-bearers and four drummers. Each battalion also had a team of 176 baggage soldiers, responsible for material transportation, management of the battalion's equipment, and logistics, so that the number of soldiers in a battalion was 1,006. The battalion and the battalion supervisor are the rank of 1,000 households.

One of the battalions, Ren Siqi, decided to name it Daishan Battalion, the battalion was Jin Yufei, and the battalion supervisor Ren Likun.

The other battalion was named Cen Gang Battalion, the battalion was Ren Xingfan, and the battalion supervisor Cao Changjiang.

The four teams of each battalion are named A, B, C, D. 4 teams. Team A of the Daishan Battalion is Tony, Team B is serving as security, Team C is serving as Sha Qianli, and Team D is serving as Likun.

The first team of the Cen Gang Battalion is Ren Jun, the second team is Chen Mingyang, the third team is Ren Qiuli, and the D team is Duncan, a German.

The selection of the camp is very difficult for Ren Siqi, because he does not have too many talents available.

Only then did two battalions of infantry be established, and if an army of 10,000 was established, it would be impossible to find enough candidates to lead the troops.

Ren Siqi decided to delay the pace of recruitment, and first train the two battalions of infantry, so the plan to recruit displaced people in Shandong again was also suspended, and Ren Siqi put all his mind on training.

This time, the veterans of the original two teams served as officers at all levels of the general banner and the small banner, and then filled them with more than 1,000 young men recruited from Shandong, and the shelves of the infantry of the two battalions were completed.

However, although the shelves are set up, there are not enough weapons, armor, military uniforms, etc., and there is still a long way to go to become a real army.

Weapons, armor, and uniforms are not available in a short period of time. The military uniform is okay, Ren Siqi purchased a large number of fabrics through Liu Defu, and Shafu is gathering the women who know how to tailor on the entire island to rush to make it.

In the past six months or so, the two blacksmith shops on Daishan Island have also rushed to produce many weapons, and now there are more than 1,000 spears on the island, and the production of muskets has come to a standstill, Jin Yufei and Anthony, who were sent to Macao, have not returned, the machine tools have not been purchased, the production of gun barrels cannot be carried out, and the efficiency of manually rolling gun barrels is too low, and the quality is also poor, Ren Siqi is unwilling to use them at all.

By rushing to make it themselves and going out to buy it, the new army had no problem with one spear per person, and it was able to be initially armed. However, Ren Siqi has decided to set up an ordnance department, which will be temporarily put in charge of Sha Fu to be responsible for the procurement of weapons. The scribes of the Daishan Inspection Division have matured, the various affairs of Daishan Island have entered the formalization, and Shafu's burden is now much lighter.

As for the armor, now the whole island adds up to no more than ten pairs, in the past, it was mainly to fight with pirates, and no armor was needed, but in the future, it was necessary to fight against the heavily armed Qing soldiers, and the soldiers without armor protection were only the objects of the opponent's slaughter.

The blacksmiths on the island are too poor to make some farm tools, but they are completely confused about making weapons and armor, so they have to think of recruiting some craftsmen who can make weapons and armor.

There are so many things that need to be done, and the most important thing to do now is to train the recruits of these two battalions first.

The complex classes could not afford to play now, and Ren Siqi decided that the infantry in the future would be dominated by pikemen and musketeers. Spearmen are trained to be of great use.

As for the training of soldiers, the Daishan Army has long had regulations, and officers at all levels are training with recruits.

At the beginning, the training is the queue, which is the most basic and the most difficult, and when the queue is trained, the whole team will be reborn.

The wasteland in the northeastern part of the island has been leveled into a school field, and the recruits are training intensively in the form of a general flag.

Most of the recruits were honest peasants, and many of them couldn't even tell the difference between left and right, and the instructors had no choice but to tie strips of cloth to their right arms, so many of them were full of mistakes.

Each general flag has two guards to assist him in training, and each guard holds a wooden stick more than three feet long in his hand. Many recruits were beaten with tears in their eyes, but they did not dare to speak.

Ci is not in charge of the army, in order to train as soon as possible, Ren Siqi turned a blind eye to this kind of corporal punishment.

The training was very boring and very tiring, many soldiers came down in the morning, tired and unwilling to move, and the more stupid soldiers were beaten with bruises and swells everywhere, but when they saw delicious food, the fatigue of training and the pain of being beaten, everything could be endured.

The Daishan Army implemented a three-meal system, rice porridge and pickles in the morning, rice at noon, plus tofu and vegetables, and each person would be given half a fish. Dinner is steamed porridge.

For these displaced people from Shandong, they spend most of the year eating bran vegetables, and there are not many days a year when they can eat enough. And when I came to Daishan, not only could I eat enough, but also had meat every day. They didn't even dare to think about such a day before, and on such a good day, no matter how hard the training is, it is worth it.

Of course, there are also people who are afraid of hardship, but Ren Siqi has already said that all deserters who are unwilling to train will be kicked out of the army, and the whole family will be driven out of Daishan Island and exiled to the desert island to fend for themselves!

"Let's go! Halt! Turn left, turn right......." Under the instructor's order, more than 20 teams were training intensively.

Ren Siqi led the battalion and other officers to patrol the school grounds.

"Honorable General, you should appoint me as the head of the battalion, not as a staff officer of this Raushzi." Monroe followed behind Ren Siqi dissatisfied, complaining incessantly.

"Mr. Monroe, the battalion is a thousand-household rank, a five-grade military attache with a serious eight classics, only the Ming people can serve as it, have you made up your mind, you want to join the Ming nationality." Ren Siqi said lightly.

"But how can Sabila be the team?" Monroe shouted dissatisfiedly, he hoped to be the camp leader, so that he could command more than a thousand people, but he couldn't forget the five-year contract with Ren Siqi, and he thought that he would be able to return to the Netherlands one day.

"Shabila has decided to join the Ming nationality, he is now a Ming man, so he can naturally be a team leader." Ren Siqi said with a smile. Monroe and other Dutchmen had a wealth of military knowledge, and he was keen to use it for himself.

"Shabila is now a military attache of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not impossible to become a general one day!" Listening to Ren Siqi's words, Monroe's heart fell into contradictions.
