For leading soldiers, Liu Jun now has some experience. Just as Qi Jiguang said, a new contingent must first be clearly established and officers selected.

This new team now has more than 600 people, and even if the reserve team of more than 200 people is removed, it is still a team of more than 300 people, of which 60% are recruits.

Originally, the best way to train such a team with a mixture of old and new soldiers is to send veterans to lead the team among the recruits, and use the old to lead the new. However, Liu Jun does not intend to do this, or does not intend to do so entirely. He has his own ideas, and before recruiting, he has his own plans.

Lu Jinxi let Liu Jun sit in the county regiment to practice the general practice, but he didn't put half a person in. The entire county group practice, in fact, to put it bluntly, is just a change of banner for the Nine-headed Birds. Everything here is decided by Liu Jun, and everyone here is also Liu Jun's people.

Li Chunjiang is gone, and the Li family members brought by Li Chunjiang are also gone.

Liu Jun swept through the team and shouted loudly, "Standing here, there are not only the original members of the Nine-headed Bird team, but also the people who were Taiping Township before, as well as the displaced people from all over the country who settled in Macheng. And from this day forward, all of you have only one identity, and that is the Hydra. Looking at the clothes on your bodies, looking at the nine-headed bird logo on your chest, remember, it is a nine-headed bird, and from now on, you are all members of the nine-headed bird. The nine-headed bird tattooed on the chest of the garment is all our brothers. ”

"Nine-headed bird, brother!" Liu Jun drank heavily.

More than 600 hot-blooded young people shouted in unison, "Nine-headed bird, brother!" ”

Liu Jun stretched out his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"Today, not only will we wear clothes embroidered with nine-headed birds, but we will also have nine-headed birds tattooed on our bodies." Liu Jun waved his hand, and several people came over with a box.

It was a tattoo artist, Liu Jun called them over, and he came to tattoo everyone.

Liu Jun sat directly in front of the man, the first tattoo.

Liu Jun chose the location of the tattoo on the tiger's mouth on his right hand and his left arm, and the tattoos were also a nine-headed bird with wings. The team members all watched this scene with some surprise, watching the tattoo artist tattoo the nine-headed bird on Liu Jun's hand and arm after taking off his shirt.

Tattoos have been used in the military since ancient times, and the first ones were tattooed on the faces of prisoners of the guilty army, so that they could not change their identity and escape the crime. Even back even further, tattoos were actually the mark of a slave, and the slave owner tattooed an exclusive sign on the slave's body to declare the ownership of the property.

By the time of the five dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, the warlords were fighting, and those jiedu envoys used to tattoo their soldiers' faces and tattoo their military names on their faces. This habit continued until the Song Dynasty, but later the soldiers objected to the resistance to the tattoos, and later gradually tattooed on the hands, and even finally abolished the tattoos.

After the Song Dynasty, the army generally no longer tattooed, but the common people liked tattoos, and later, especially those rangers and scoundrels, became the people who liked tattoos the most.

The tattoos on the body at this time represent fierceness and bravery.

Liu Jun suddenly wanted to tattoo the nine-headed bird group today, and everyone was surprised. It can be seen that when Liu Jun first started to tattoo, everyone didn't think that this tattoo was very insulting, but felt a sense of excitement.

Nine-headed bird, brother!

Tattooed with this mark, it is the person who is the nine-headed bird, and from then on everyone is a brother.

Liu Jun did not force the team members to get tattoos, and the team members could get tattoos voluntarily or not, but no one did not get tattoos.

All team members lined up to get tattoos, but Liu Jun also stipulated that only official team members could tattoo a nine-headed bird on their right hand and on their left arm. The reserve team members can only tattoo a nine-headed bird on their left arm, and they cannot tattoo a tiger's mouth on their right hand, and it is forbidden to tattoo it privately.

Nine-headed bird tattoo, Liu Jun turned him into a symbol, a brother's symbol. There are two nine-headed birds tattooed on the body, that is a real brother, and only one tattoo is not a real brother, it is only a preparation.

It hurts to have a needle in the body, but everyone is very excited, brother, we are brothers from now on!

The new Hydra, starting with tattoos.

The brothers behind the tattoo were reluctant to get dressed, revealing their sturdy arms, and kept raising their right hands and shaking their left arms as if showing off. Two cyan nine-headed birds spread their wings and are ready to fly!

The new Hydra was officially established.

Liu Jun divided the team into two parts, with two full-fledged members of the nine-headed bird and a reserve member with only one bird.

The regular team members were divided into three bureaus, a cavalry bureau, an infantry bureau, and an artillery fire bureau. The reservists were organized into two infantry bureaus.

Three flags in one game, three teams in one flag.

A team of twelve, one team leader, ten soldiers, and one fireman. Three teams and one flag, thirty-six people plus one flag, one flag and thirty-seven people. Three flags and one bureau, one hundred and three flags plus one hundred and eight soldiers, a total of 112 officers and soldiers.

Both the cavalry and infantry bureaus were organized in this way, with 112 men in each bureau and 224 men in two bureaus. The Artillery Bureau has a cannon flag, a gun flag and a rocket flag.

In addition, there is also a Chinese military flag, a night team and a personal soldier team, another flag team, and a medical team with a total of 49 officers and men.

All the official team members plus Liu Jun are a total of 386 people.

There is a round of cavalry, infantry, and artillery, and a flag of the Chinese army.

The reservists were relatively simple, with two infantry bureaus of 112 men each, each with three infantry flags. A total of 224 infantry teams with two bureaus, six banners, and eighteen infantry teams have been established.

The entire Nine-headed Bird officially and the reserve team combined, a total of six hundred and nine people, with two hundred and sixty-three war horses, and the night and the personal soldiers and cavalry bureau are equipped with two horses.

In terms of weaponry, they are basically the same as before.

However, the newly established infantry bureau, the configuration of each infantry team is slightly different,

Liu Jun organized a killer team and two bird teams for each flag under the infantry bureau, and each killer team was mainly equipped with cold weapons, and the brave young people with good martial arts and strong strength were selected.

The killer team always has one fireman, two Teng players, two hook gunners, two palladium boring players, and four pikemen. The team is equipped with flag guns, waist knives and bows and arrows, and the firefighters are equipped with iron-tipped flat shoulders and waist knives. Two of the rattan players are Wu Chang.

The Bird Gun Team is mainly long-range, consisting of a team with a total of one firefighter and ten Bird Gunners to form a combat team. Each bird gun is equipped with a bird gun and a waist knife. The general rule of the team is a flag gun and a bird gun, and the fire soldiers are equipped with an iron-tipped flat shoulder and a waist knife.

The configuration of the infantry team is much simpler, with two bird teams and one killer team configuration for each flag. The entire infantry bureau has six bird teams plus three killer teams.

In this setup of the Infantry Bureau, the Killers are the most courageous fighters, they are armed with cold weapons and are mainly charged to break the formation, while the Bird Guns are all long-range and provide more firepower.

Of course, the most elite of the Hydra is the Cavalry Bureau, which is a fast mobile unit equipped with a large number of firearms, capable of pursuit, flanking, outflanking, flanking and other tasks.

Liu Jun's troop formation was completely designed with the nine-headed bird's independent combat capability, and he did not expect other troops to assist him every time he did a war. What I want is for the nine-headed bird to fight independently and win the battle.

The troops are well organized, and Liu Jun is familiar with the selected officers.

In the official three bureaus and one middle school military flag, there are three hundred and ten flags, and there are thirty-one team generals.

Liu Jun directly promoted his twelve righteous brothers to the positions of Bai Zong and Qi Zong.

Unlike before, Liu Jun's Nine-Headed Bird Team belonged to the squire's armed and private team. And now, the nine-headed bird is a serious soldier and horse in the imperial court establishment, although it is only a local regiment training arm, but it is also an official army.

Liu Jun's practice is equivalent to the total practice, which was originally a positive seven products. But the grade was lowered by two levels, from the eighth grade.

Now the hundred generals under his command belong to the eight-rank officials in the border army, and now the hundred in the local regimental training given by the imperial court is always the ninth grade, and the general flag is given the nine-rank position.

In a word, the 13 Taibao, which were rampant in Xiwan back then, are now all mixed with official bodies all of a sudden.

Liu Jun, the nine-headed bird group practice general, from the eighth grade. Zhang Shan, Wang Qian, Cai Yuan, the three bureaus are all nine products. And the other nine brothers who served as the general manager of the banner all got the position of the ninth grade.

The first-level team presidents again, such as Zhang Donggou, are not in the stream, and they are not good enough.

Liu Jun personally selected the officers of the division and flag levels, and as for the appointment of officers at the team and army levels, he gave them to the following. Officers at the team level shall be appointed by the general directors of each department, and the commanders of each army shall be appointed by the general officers of each banner.

When the team was being trained, although Liu Jun did not mix the new and old players together, he mixed the players from Taiping Township and the players from the shack area.

Although people from the same place will definitely be able to get acquainted with it sooner, he doesn't want his team to come up with a Taiping Township gang, a shack gang.

After completing the reorganization and the appointment of officers at all levels, Liu Jun ordered all soldiers to begin a month-long intensive training.

When the old players heard the training camp, they couldn't help but smack their tongues, but the new players were still ignorant.

"With a night off today, everyone can go outside and relax after dinner, but from tomorrow morning, we will start a month-long closed training." Liu Jun didn't give the new players much time to relax.

His heart was full of urgency, not only because of the Fifth Battalion across the mountain, but because he knew that there was not much time left for him.

The team was disbanded, and Liu Jun went directly to the firearms workshop built in the east corner of Yachengli. This is just established, Zhao Shun is the chief craftsman of this workshop, Liu Jun is full of expectations for him, hoping to rely on him to establish his own firearms workshop, not just a tinkering firearms workshop, but a workshop that can create advanced firearms.

He even hoped that the workshop could be built to a certain scale as soon as possible to meet the equipment and consumption of the nine-headed bird.

Walking into the workshop, this new workshop that has just been cleaned up from the utility room, and I can't smell the smell of a fire whistle at all.

"See Mr. Lian." When a group of craftsmen saw Liu Jun coming in, they hurriedly saluted.

Liu Jun waved his hand, "You don't have to be so polite. Saying that, he walked up to Zhao Shun, "How is it?" ”

Zhao Shunzheng stared at a few drawings, saw Liu Jun asking, and said busily, "As long as the materials arrive, we can start building fire guns at any time, but I don't know which one Mr. Lian plans to build first?" ”

Which kind to make?

Liu Jun's favorite thing now is the Lu Mi gun and the electric gun, a kind of long-range shot, a kind of wind and rain weather, and six sub-guns, using the rear loading of the gun, with a strong continuous fire speed, Liu Jun is really swaying from side to side for a while, it is difficult to decide.
