Chapter 413: New Battalion System

Since Wang Dou handled the affairs of the shogunate, there have been many people who have asked to see and visit Wang Dou, and who doesn't want to have a relationship with the famous Loyal and Brave Bolla. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info// Net update fast //

However, at this time, Wang Dou was busy with the establishment of the new camp system, and people who were waiting for him could not see him.

In Wang Dou's plan, the Jingbian Army, the whole battalion is called the Zhongyong Battalion, and there are forward Suzaku Battalion, left guard Qinglong Battalion, right guard White Tiger Battalion, and rear guard Xuanwu Battalion. There is also the Chinese army, which has battalions under its jurisdiction, such as guard battalions, artillery battalions, cavalry battalions, sentry battalions, and baggage battalions.

These barracks, except for the artillery barracks, sentry battalions, and guard battalions, may not have many people, and the rest are all real battalions. The special baggage battalion is even larger, with a total of 5,000 men and a battalion of more than 4,000 people.

In this way, after the battalion is formulated, its own military strength will exceed 20,000 people, and not only will many generals be promoted and appointed, but also many new recruits will need to be supplemented and trained.

Now Wang Dou's every move has affected the hearts of countless people on the East Road, especially after Wang Dou became the chief soldier, all parties paid more attention to his subordinates. Therefore, as soon as the news was revealed, there was strong concern from all sides, and the tun households in the tunbao on the east road cheered even more, and the general expanded the army, and everyone had the opportunity to join the army.

Even the original generals of the East Road were all moved, and with Wang Dou's fame spreading far and wide, the Jingbian Army won a hundred battles, and all the generals were eager to join this group and share the results together.

The generals of the Jingbian Army are concerned about what positions they will get when the generals expand their staff.

Due to the military discipline of the Shunxiang army, the generals and above in the army moved their families to Yongning, so the generals of Yongning City gathered. After a few days of reunion with their families, they gathered together. What they are concerned about is what kind of job they will get when the army is expanded.

The merits of the Department of Suppression and the Department of Staff are still being checked and recorded as proof of appointment for future promotions. The reward from the Ministry of War has not yet come down. However, the generals did not take the decision of the military department seriously, and in the Jingbian Army, what kind of position they could hold was the most important thing.

Regarding the candidates for the generals of each battalion, everyone guessed that the commander of the artillery battalion must be Zhao Xuan, the commander of the cavalry battalion must be Li Guangheng, the commander of the sentry battalion must be Wen Daxing, and the commander of the baggage battalion must be Sun Sanjie. Who will be the commander of the rest of the battalions?

According to the merits of this battle, Wen Fangliang and Gao Shiyin are very likely to be the main generals of any battalion. Xie Yike, the chief general of the Chinese army's guard, shouted to go to the front line. However, the general is not a person of cronyism, and according to the merits of the first department, the generals of the four battalions before and after cannot have his share.

Count the generals and officers in the Jingbian Army, according to the seniority of all the people. Han Chao, Zhong Xiancai, Zhong Tiaoyang, Yang Guodong and other first-class generals are all capable candidates for the commanders of the first battalion. It is very likely that there will be a battalion general, but it is not the last step. Who knows?

……

In the midst of enthusiastic discussion and speculation, on April 26, the 14th year of Chongzhen. Before the holiday sergeant returned, Wang Dou summoned all the members of the shogunate, as well as all the first-class and second-class generals of the Jingbian Army, to discuss matters in the general's palace.

According to the solar calendar, it is May at this time, the sun is fierce, the weather is hot, and the lobby of the General's Mansion today is even more noisy and the atmosphere is warm.

The shogunate and the generals of the army gathered together, and everyone talked softly or loudly, and their voices were louder than the other, especially the loud voices of Gao Shiyin and Shen Shiqi, and their voices could be heard from afar.

The people in the hall were obviously divided into two groups, the shogunate and the generals, and there were some subtle differences, but each of them was inseparable from the topic of the day, and asked each other what topics the shogun had summoned them to discuss.

Han Chao and Zhong Tiaoyang also came, and Zhong Xiancai got together with them, and the three of them talked softly, arguing about something from time to time.

Yang Guodong, the former general under Lu Xiangsheng, obviously has a topic with Zhao Xuan, and the two get together and whisper. As for the rest of the generals, they gathered into several groups, among which Wen Fangliang giggled and gaged, obviously comfortable with this kind of scene. …,

Chi Dacheng is still the same, sitting alone in a daze. Suddenly, he shouted, "Silence! ”

Everyone was startled, the general came, and immediately took their places, all of them sat quietly, and after a while, they heard footsteps coming from a distance, and everyone looked at Chi Dacheng: "This is Chi peeling, good ears." ”

In the sound of boots, Wang Dou was dressed in a python robe, and turned out from behind the screen with a bright look, followed by Xie Yike and Feng Dachang, Xie Yike wanted to roar, but when he saw that the hall was quiet, everyone obediently looked like a student in the school, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Everyone saluted and shouted: "See the general." ”

Wang Dou smiled and waved his hand: "Get up, your own brother, you don't have to be polite." ”

Waving his hand to let everyone sit down, he sat on the main seat covered with tiger skins, and then everyone sat down, Feng Dachang also sat on the right side of Wang Dou, and Xie Yike stood beside Wang Dou.

Wang Dou looked at everyone in the hall and said with a smile: "It seems that the big guy, his wife and children are almost warm, and they can do business." ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and the general's words were funny.

Wang Dou asked the attendants to serve tea to everyone and announced that he had entered the topic, but he did not announce the candidates for the generals of each battalion, but first discussed the Jingbian military camp system, the banners of each battalion, and the combat uniforms of each army.

These topics are also very important, and everyone concentrates and listens to Feng Dachang take out a copy of the book and preach.

The Jingbian Army has set up the forward Vermilion Bird Battalion, the Left Guard Qinglong Battalion, the Right Guard White Tiger Battalion, the Rear Guard Xuanwu Battalion, and the Chinese Army, which consists of the Guard Battalion, the Artillery Battalion, the Cavalry Battalion, the Sentry Battalion, and the Baggage Battalion, all of which are always titled Loyal and Brave Battalions. The abbreviation in the camp is the front battalion, the left battalion, the right battalion, the rear battalion, and the middle battalion.

The establishment of each battalion is based on the fifth class as a team, with 50 soldiers.

The four teams were one general, two spear teams and two musket teams, and there were a total of 200 soldiers including the general headquarters.

The four generals are one, and including the thousand general headquarters, there are a total of 800 soldiers in one thousand.

The four divisions are one battalion, and excluding the battalion headquarters, the battalion has a total of 3,200 soldiers.

Battalion Operations ......

Each team is appointed as the deputy of the team by a captain, and the team does not have a flag. Identify with waist cards and armor, and the team officer has a guard.

Each general headquarters is set up, and there is a general officer, a middle officer, a quartermaster, a clerk, a pacification officer, a consolation officer, a praise painting, a flag bearer, and a golden drummer. In addition, there are five chief guards and drummer guards and heralds. There were five doctors, five people were not accepted at night, and two sergeants were appeased.

Each department has a thousand general headquarters, one chief officer, one lieutenant officer, one quartermaster, one secretary, one pacification officer, and two golden drummers. Another: 10 chief guards and drummer guards and heralds, 10 doctors, and 10 night guards. Ten sergeants were pacified.

Each battalion has a battalion headquarters, an internal battalion general, a middle officer, a quartermaster, a clerk, a pacification officer, and a consolation officer. Five for the praise painting, the flag bearer, and the golden drummer. In addition, there were 20 battalion guards and drummer guards and heralds, 20 doctors, 50 night guards, and 20 sergeants.

In addition, each has ten carriages with two horses and baggage. There are five cooking cars, drivers, firemen, and transport teams in each battalion.

This is customized for all camps.

The generals in the hall let out a buzzing noise. Gao Shiyin couldn't help but shout: "Good guy, such a battalion of people." I'm afraid that there are three, four, or five hundred, and they really send it. ”

Chi Dacheng shouted at him: "Silence! ”

Gao Shiyin was taken aback. Chi Peeling is cold and ruthless, if he participates in the impeachment, he is afraid that he will be beaten in front of the army, so he hurriedly sat down obediently.

Wang Dou smiled and said, "If you have any views on the camp system, everyone can talk about it." ”

He got up and paced around the hall, and looked at the big locust tree outside the window. Everyone in the hall exchanged views with each other, and this battalion system was not much different from the previous establishment of the Shunxiang Army. …,

If there is a difference, it is that most of the foreign armies are three divisions and one battalion, but the current Jingbian Army is four divisions and one battalion, and the number of people is much higher. However, for the generals, the more leaders the better, which is a good thing, and there are more than 3,000 people in a battalion, which is also within the control of each person's ability. Only the battalions, departments, and general departments have increased and do not collect at night, which is more difficult to do.

At that moment, everyone said: "We have no objections. ”

Wang Dou turned around and said: "Okay, the battalion system is decided like this, and a copy of this document will be kept, and then handed over to the General Staff Department for archiving." ”

He sat back in his seat and announced the next topic, but it was the flags of the battalions.

Several guards came in and unfurled several flags, ranging from the general flag to the general flag.

Everyone saw that these flags were all recognition flags, and the word king was written on them.

The total recognition of the flag, three feet long, the oblique angle has a side, the pole is one foot high, with a tassel number belt, five feet long.

Qianzong recognized the flag, four feet long, the bevel angle has a side, the pole is one foot three feet high, and the number of tassels is one, seven feet long.

The battalion general recognized the flag, six feet long, with a beveled angle, and the pole was with a tasseled pheasant tail, one foot and five feet high. One belt, eight feet five inches long.

Everyone groaned, at this time, most of the Ming army banners were like this, but everyone always felt that something was missing, and they could not highlight the momentum and courage of the Jingbian army.

Wen Fangliang said: "General, the last general thinks that our army has the Green Dragon and the White Tiger Battalion, do you want this to be reflected on the military flag?" ”

Gao Shiyin shouted: "Yes, for example, in the forward battalion, there should be a big Vermilion Bird on the flag." ”

Everyone in the hall is smiling, Gao Shiyin is very likely to be the commander of any battalion, with his bravery, it is very likely to be the general of the forward Vermilion Bird Battalion, so he can't wait, he has to fight for his battalion flag.

Seeing that everyone in the hall had objections, Wang Dou smiled and clapped his hands again, and a few more guards came in from outside the hall, unfurling many flags.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they were also the flags of the general, the thousand, and the battalion general, but these flags gave people a feeling of passion and enthusiasm.

Each flag is a square flag, the flag color is red, in each flag, there is a green dragon on the left, there is a white tiger on the right, there is a red bird in front, there is a Xuanwu in the back, the place where the name of each general should be embroidered in the middle, but it is replaced by the golden waves of the sun and the moon. This is true of the general, the thousand, and the battalion general's flag, but the size of the flag is different.

Each flag, the general flag is also a foot high, tasseled, no belt.

Thousands of flags, the pole is one foot high and three feet high, the tassel head, and there is no trumpet belt.

The battalion general flag, the pole is one foot and five feet high, the tasseled head is beaded and the pheasant tail, and there is no trumpet belt.

Moreover, in the flags of each battalion, if the forward battalion, the corresponding Vermilion Bird pattern in the flag is slightly larger, and the silk edge of the flag is also blood red, which means that this is the Forward Vermilion Bird Battalion. If the left camp, the corresponding green dragon pattern in the flag is larger, and the silk edge of the flag is also dark cyan, which means that this is the left guard green dragon camp.

The right camp has a white silk edge, the back camp has a black silk edge, and the middle camp has a golden yellow silk edge. One by one, separate the battalions in the front, rear, left, right, and center.

Looking at the flags, everyone was overjoyed, and the flags in the foreign army mostly used beveled pennants. They used the eastern, southern, western, northern, and central orders of the military formation, but they didn't expect that they would have such momentum in recognizing the flag at home.

Gao Shiyin howled: "That's it, the momentum of my Jingbian Army must be like this!" ”

However, he shouted: "General, why don't you embroider the surname of the general on the flag?" Replace that moon and sun? ”

Wang Dou said: "The reason why our Jingbian Army won all battles was because the soldiers of the whole army fought bravely. Therefore, what should be highlighted is a kind of military soul and a whole. No matter which flag in the army you see, you will think of it first. It's our army, not someone! ”

Everyone pondered, the general did this is also new, lowering the personal color, highlighting the whole army and honor.

However, now the Jingbian army fights according to military law. Compared with foreign armies, the role of generals is much lower, so it is good to form a distinct style. When others look at it, they feel like they stand out from the crowd. Invisibly, this invincible army was greatly promoted. …,

And the great general does. It seems to have a deep meaning......

When everyone passed, the banners of each battalion were confirmed.

Finally, there's the armor of the soldiers.

In fact, the pikemen fighters in the Jingbian Army are now. The iron armor he was wearing, including the infantry armor of the Song Dynasty, and the armor of the Han general, was heavy, and it was incompatible with the mainstream armor of the Ming army, so it was time to change.

Wang Dou clapped his hands, and some guards in the palace walked in with armor, Wang Dou said: "I asked the Logistics Department to create some samples, and everyone came to evaluate whether it was suitable." ”

He personally made a model, first wearing the armor of an ordinary sergeant, but it was the armor of a soldier of the middle battalion.

Wang Dou first wore boots, a kind of long felt boots, and then took the armor, which is a long body armor with a dark red color, lined with small nail pieces, and a supple inner edge, and densely covered with copper nails. Because the armor is one, it is very quick and easy to wear, just like putting on an outer garment.

The armor is the placket, buckled with a copper buckle, and the general Ming army is a cloth knot buckle, and the copper buckle is buckled, which is more powerful and heroic.

Then there is the arm hand, also known as the arm binding style, which is a kind of arm armor, which is different from the shawl before the Ming Dynasty, much like the sleeve of later generations.

At this time, Wang Dou's arms and hands were made of green cotton cloth, cotton flowers, etc., and the nail leaves were decorated with nail leaves, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, and the nail leaves at the elbows were thinner, making the whole hand flex and rise flexibly. There is a buckle on the arm and hand, which can be connected to the shoulder armor, and there is a copper buckle on the inside of the forearm, and the arm and hand of the buckle are good.

With both arms and hands in hand, Wang Dou put on a folded scarf, which belongs to the inner hat, and finally put on a hat and helmet, and tied a belt around his waist, so that the armor was worn.

A sergeant with fast movements, the duel can be dressed in fifteen seconds or twenty seconds, but it is a little troublesome to put on his arms and hands, but no matter how slow the action is, there is no problem to complete it in one minute.

The full armor is not heavy, about thirty catties, and it is especially dressed quickly, which is the progress of the Ming army in armor. At that time, the soldiers of the Beijing camp and the elite cavalry of the border army were all dressed like this, but there was a slight difference, because the armies wore cloud-winged helmets, but the Jingbian army wore one-color hats and helmets, which was a characteristic of Wang Doubu.

When Wang Dou wore his arms, the generals helped with all hands and feet, and everyone watched and praised at this time.

Wang Dou's armor has a square collar, shoulders, collar, placket, and hem, all with golden velvet. Because this is a first-class military armor, along the collar to the shoulder, there is a slip of red velvet, and at the shoulder, each picks up a small pompom, which increases the thickness and three-dimensional sense of the shoulder.

Everyone was excited, this armor was indeed convenient, the protection was good, and it was heroic, and it looked very powerful. Shen Shiqi was even more flattering: "Although it is just the armor of the small army, it is handsome and mighty when worn on the general, I really don't have to say it." ”

Everyone laughed, and Wang Dou even pointed at Shen Shiqi and scolded with a smile: "You kid, I found that you are getting better and better at sycophancy." ”

Wang Dou was wearing the armor of a mid-camp warrior at this time, so he wrapped it in Phnom Penh. If the back camp, collar, shoulders, placket, hem everywhere, then wrap black edge, right camp wrap white edge. And so on, like the flag, the characteristics of each battalion are also highlighted.

Wang Dou felt good, posed, and asked everyone, "How?" ”

Everyone also feels good, this armor is convenient, mighty, and has a good protective effect, and it can be implemented in the army.

So it was decided that the soldiers of the second class, also crimson with long body armor, arms and hands. It's just that the collar is round, and there is no red velvet and pompoms on the shoulders.

The night of the sentry camp is not closed, and he wears short armor and does not use his arms and hands. The standout feature is that it is fast and lightweight.

This is the armor worn by the first-class army and the second-class army of each battalion, and Wang Dou also demonstrated the armor of the officers of each battalion.

The officers of the general and above wore short armor and legged skirts, all of which were in the style of Ming armor, with fine and fine scale armor on the outside, and purple cloth for the arms and hands. The exposed nail leaves are also shiny. When Wang Dou put on his arms and hands and tied the belt, the armor was ready, which was better than the armor of ordinary soldiers. Slightly more troublesome. …,

The main thing is to wear a leg skirt, which needs to be hung on the shoulders with front and back shoulder straps, and there are also a few buttons behind the waist, and the rest of the armor, arms and hands, which are no different from those worn by soldiers.

This kind of officer armor. The leg skirt, a large red mandarin duck jacket is exposed at the hem, and it is matched with shiny nail leaves when walking. Quite a dazzling spirit.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Gao Shiyin smiled from ear to ear. Keep exclaiming: "Good, good." In this way, the officers of the Jingbian Army must have the appearance of officers. ”

Wen Fangliang showed a thoughtful expression: "In this way, the enemy will know at a glance where our generals are, and they are afraid that they will be hit by a major attack." ”

Gao Shiyin disagreed: "There are gains and losses, being an official, there is always danger, and if you are afraid of death, don't be promoted." ”

Everyone is arguing, and on the whole, they think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and the generals in the army can dress up like this.

……

Wang Dou took off his armor, looked around at everyone, and laughed loudly: "My Jingbian Army, as the first strong army of the Ming Dynasty, needs to have the demeanor and momentum of the first army in the world, so in addition to the uniforms of each army, it also needs to have a dress, so that it can match the status and status!" ”

He clapped his hands, and a group of guards from the palace walked in, and everyone was stunned and lit up, this is the general's dress that the general said?

The Ming Dynasty is not without ceremonial dresses, among the civil and military officials, everyone has court clothes, sacrificial clothes, official clothes, regular clothes, gift clothes and other sets of clothing, but this refers to officers, civil officials and other officials, ordinary soldiers, how can there be these? On weekdays, he wears a mandarin duck jacket, with different colors on the outside and inside.

What is heterochromia? It's a color on the inside, a color on the outside, and if the outside is dirty, turn out the inside layer and wear it. If the inside is dirty, turn it back in. Dirty is a little dirty, absolutely water-saving. Of course, this is not possible in the Shunxiang army, but apart from armor, the sergeants have no other clothing in peacetime.

At this time, these guards were all dressed in tight-fitting robes on the right side, with a drag style, felt boots, a three-mountain hat, a waist knife pinned to their waists, and a knife hanging behind them, which was quite like the costume of a brocade guard.

Among them, the distinction between the first-class army, the second-class army, and the officers is clearly visible. The sergeants of the first and second classes are dressed in cotton and linen cloth, the first class is more cotton, and the officers are in brocade clothes, and the battalions are distinguished by different edging colors.

Looking at these dresses, everyone seems to see the chivalrous demeanor of the ancient times, atmospheric, gorgeous, capable, sharp, and with some cruel beauty, coupled with the waist knife as a ceremonial knife, the heroic spirit is compelling, everyone in the hall feels like this.

Qi Tianliang stepped forward and said: "Look at this clothes, they are all dressed like officials, in the land of my east road, the army is already noble, and if you wear this clothes again, those young men don't want to join the army." ”

Wang Dou nodded and said: "A soldier, you have to look like a soldier, without a good costume, how to show the heroism of a soldier?" Our Jingbian Army is different, and it needs to have a different style. There is a uniform, and there is also a need for a dress! ”

The generals smiled happily, without the slightest disagreement, the generals were willing to make everyone more energetic, what did they have to say? Therefore, the money, food, and rice they pay are not something they have to worry about.

Zhao Xuan rarely muttered: "This dress is very much like a brocade guard, will anyone gossip?" ”

Immediately, a large group of people refuted him, although the Ming brocade guards wore more drags and wore three-mountain hats, but now the officials and people wear more draggers, three-mountain hats, and even more streets and alleys, what do they wear like this? Besides, who cares about the gossip behind his back, and there are fewer people gossiping on the East Road? As long as you don't say it to your face.

Gao Shiyin even shouted: "Xiao Xuan'er, if you don't want a general's dress, give me all the shares of your battalion, I want it!" ”

Zhao Xuan hurriedly said: "Who said I don't want it?" I didn't say that. ”

It caused the crowd to laugh again. …,

In the end, Wang Dou also set the clothes and armor of the guards of each tunbao, they wore red hats, and wore long armor of green cotton cloth, the armor was not lined with armor leaves, and there were no copper nails outside. They also had no arms and hands, no straps, a belt around their waists, and shoulder scarves.

They also don't have formal dresses, reserves, and naturally can't be compared with the regular army, but Tunding has a long body armor, which is much better than before when there were only mandarin duck battle jackets.

After the Jingbian military camp system, banners, and military uniforms were decided, everyone in the hall was overjoyed, their eyebrows fluttered, and they all felt that their own army was different and very imposing, and it really had the demeanor of the strongest army in the world.

In the midst of everyone's discussion, Wang Dou looked at Qi Tianliang, the ambassador of the Logistics Department: "Old Qi, I need 20,000 sets of new clothes and armor for the Jingbian Army, when will you be able to do it in the Logistics Department?" ”

Qi Tianliang hurriedly said: "General, this armor is available, if it is only easy to modify, launch the clothing factory under his rule, as well as all the merchants, within two months, it can be prepared." However, if it is a dress, it needs to be tailored to each person, and it will take a little longer. ”

Wang Dou said: "Okay, prepare the battle armor first." ”

He came to the crowd, looked at the familiar people, looked at their admiring eyes, he thought deeply, and said slowly: "Everyone, from today onwards, our Jingbian Army will officially be established into an army. I remember last year when I was conquering the thieves, I swore that I would bring peace to the world and make the land of China a paradise. ”

Everyone in the hall bowed down together and shouted in unison: "I am willing to die for the general!" ”

"I am willing to die for the general!"

"I am willing to die for the general!"

In the roar of everyone, Wang Dou stood with his hands in his hands, and his momentum was high.
