The re-reorganization of the Huaihuang Army brought together nearly 20,000 horses from a scattered state, and this action was extremely great. For Ling Yun, integrating Huaihuang's soldiers and horses as soon as possible is of great benefit to him to strengthen his control over the army and control Huaihuang. Especially after the Battle of Momoyama, Ling Yun also discovered many weaknesses of the Huaihuang Army. For example, there are too few soldiers who can fight, although he only brought 5,000 men and horses to fight last time, but in fact, it is already all the soldiers who can fight in Huaihuang. That is, they encountered the careless Momoyama Army, and they held the secret trump card of the Longbow Battalion, and unexpectedly, the other party fell into their big trap, and did not discover the secret of the Longbow Battalion of the Huaihuang Army at all, so they also crashed headlong into this death zone on the bank of the river, and finally suffered unimaginable blows and casualties, and were directly defeated.

But at that time, although the longbowmen of the Huaihuang Army were powerful, they were also the end of the strong oars, and the archers ran out of strength after continuous shooting, and the bows and arrows were almost exhausted. If the enemy is not so careless, does not rely on the favorable terrain, or even if the enemy is a little more tenacious, they will not be able to fight.

In response to these, Ling Yun reorganized the people again, and the first one was to expand the longbowmen who had made great contributions this time and showed their might. It turned out that there were a total of 1,006 crossbowmen, and Ling Yun got almost 4,006 longbowmen this time, plus more than 2,000 crossbowmen, and the crossbowmen reached a huge establishment of more than 6,000 people. The next time there is a battle, the longbowmen will be able to exert more power and the battle will last longer.

In addition, Lingyun also expanded the cavalry unit, a cavalry battalion and a cavalry reconnaissance regiment directly under it, almost more than 2,000 horses.

There is one more significant change. It was Lingyun who separated the soldiers from the auxiliaries, although there was still a baggage battalion and an engineer regiment in the Huaihuang Army this time, but they were separated from the soldiers. In the establishment of battalions, regiments, and regiments at all levels, only pure combat personnel remain, and although auxiliary troops are established, they are directly subordinate to the military headquarters. The new establishment of the Engineer Regiment was also a major change, and the Engineer Battalion was responsible for the manufacture of various military equipment. He was even responsible for opening roads and bridges, setting up camps, and solving these tasks for the soldiers. Let them concentrate on the fight. The baggage battalion was used to escort equipment, food and grass, and even to cook and treat the wounded. In short, the division of labor is clear, and each does its job.

Of course, this adaptation also brings a change. That is the change of battalion and regimental officials at all levels of the new Huaihuang Army. Originally, the highest was also a battalion. But originally a battalion had a maximum of 1,000 men, but now a battalion of cavalry is nearly 1,080, and a battalion of infantry is nearly 3,000. Originally, there were fifteen battalions, but now the battalions have been greatly reduced, and the officers of each battalion have more soldiers and horses.

For these new battalion commander positions, many are staring.

There are four infantry battalions and one cavalry battalion, and the real main force is only these five battalions, and the baggage battalion belongs to the logistics troops. Nobody is looking at it.

The original fifteen battalion captains now have to compete for the positions of these five battalion commanders. The competition is fierce. Especially in the cavalry battalion, there were originally eight hussars joining the army, but now there is only one position of cavalry battalion general.

The reorganization of the new battalion was very rapid, and on the basis of the original six elite battalions, namely, the three battalions of the pro-army and the three battalions of the outer battalion, it was enough to add all nine battalions, namely, the eight battalions of the soldiers from the outer towns and the longbow battalion.

The new army is stuffed up quickly, but it is not so easy to really bring them up. First of all, from top to bottom, these officer positions at all levels have made Ling Yun scratch his head recently. The positions of senior battalion and regimental officers have been greatly reduced compared with the previous ones, and many officers have to be demoted, and it is a troublesome matter for anyone to be demoted, and no one will be happy if they are demoted. However, there were too many monks and too little porridge, and two-thirds of the former senior officers had to be demoted.

Another trouble is that there are too few junior officers. In order to maintain combat effectiveness in such an expansion, it is extremely important for middle- and lower-level officers, especially some low-level officers at the gang level to take the lead. In the current new military system, there are only three people in a group, and there are only three people in one army, and there is one army commander for three people. It belongs to the situation of one belt and two, there are more than 10,000 soldiers in the whole army, and there are nearly 4,000 army commanders, and it is impossible for Ling Yun to send all the veterans to be army commanders, so how can the troops still have combat effectiveness. What's more, there are more than 1,000 gang commanders in the whole army.

Ling Yun also had to sigh, no wonder they all said that soldiers are not easy to train, it is indeed not easy to practice.

"Let Shan Xiongxin be the cavalry battalion general, and Qin Shubao be the deputy battalion general." Ling Yun rubbed his head and looked at the list of original camp owners in front of him, "As for the four step camps, I think I will choose Wang Bodang, Dou Jiande, Gao Jia and Wang Bao. "These four infantry battalion generals, Ling Yun is also well-intentioned, the four of them are from Henan and Hebei, and the four different forces of the Gao family and the Tiger Alliance in the past can be regarded as balancing all parties.

"Let Zhang Jin be called the captain of the reconnaissance regiment, Huang Junhan commands the heavy battalion, and Su Yong commands the engineer regiment."

When choosing the commanders of each battalion, Ling Yun deliberately ignored Yang Guang's subordinates from Huainan.

After the list of battalion officers was announced, it did not cause any noise. It can be said that this list took care of all the forces under Ling Yun, but only suppressed the Yangzhou faction, so everyone acquiesced to this result. Although Sima Dejiao was very dissatisfied in his heart, he also knew that now that Yi Feng had won two big battles in a row, and his strength was expanding extremely fast, he was loudly opposed, and it was estimated that Yi Feng would not pay attention to him, after all, he had more than 300 men and horses in his hands, and now they were all scattered by Yi Feng in his army of more than 10,000. And Yi Feng held a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, and all kinds of gifts were sent to him every once in a while, and he was happy to open one eye and be idle. Anyway, sooner or later, he has to return to King Jin, and he really doesn't plan to stay here for the rest of his life. Besides, in his opinion, the so-called Huaihuang Army, even if it won two battles, it was just a group fight between cottages, no matter how many people and horses were placed, compared with the real elite soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion, it was still nothing.

After receiving their appointments, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, and other new battalion officers immediately began to organize their own battalion and regimental departments one by one.

But soon, the four infantry battalion generals Wang Bodang, Gao Jia, Dou Jiande and Wang Bao quarreled, and then quarreled all the way to Ling Yun.

In fact, the reason for their quarrel is very simple, to fight for longbowmen.

Four new infantry battalions. In addition to the commanders at all levels and the soldiers directly under them, each battalion had fifty teams of men, of which twenty were longbowmen. Ten teams of crossbowmen, ten teams of spearmen, and ten teams of sword players. Five hundred spearmen and five hundred sword players are easy to find, even five hundred crossbowmen are easy to find, but a thousand longbowmen are not so easy to find. In the last battle, everyone saw the power of the longbowmen, the super long range and range, and the extremely fast rate of fire. It can make the enemy collapse without getting close to shoot the opponent directly. But they can also see it, especially Wang Bodang, who has been the owner of the Longbow Camp, is very clear. The sharpness of the longbow battalion rests on the longbow for three points, and the sevens for the longbowmen.

The Huaihuang army had enough longbows to equip the battalions, but there were not enough good longbowmen to distribute to the battalions. It turned out that there were 1,600 longbowmen, and a battalion was divided into 400. The remaining battalions were at least six hundred. Originally, if everyone shared it equally. Although it is less, it is fair after all, and the rest will be figured out by themselves. As a result, Wang Bodang relied on himself to be the camp master of the longbow battalion, and took advantage of this relationship to secretly promise a lot of benefits to his old subordinates, and then let those longbow men compete to take the initiative to go to Wang Bodang's camp, and now the other three battalion owners refused. Originally, there was a shortage of longbowmen, and you still had to score more. So what do we do. In the face of the reproaches of the other three camp owners, Wang Bodang still insisted that everyone voluntarily chose his battalion. But how can Dou Jiande, Wang Bao and Gao Jia get along so well, especially Wang Bao is an old horse thief who is the first in the eighteen horses of Yanyun, relying on Lingyun's henchmen and ironcore, he does not give Wang Uncle any face, Gao Jia is also unkind, Dou Jiande is relatively smart, he has been standing next to him and pretending to talk about reason, but in fact, he has been teasing Wang Bao and Gao Jia. Naturally, this result could not be discussed, and in the end, he had to come to arbitration in front of Ling Yun.

In the face of such a problem, he also has a headache. Longbowmen are indeed extremely demanding, longbows are easy to make, and longbowmen are hard to find.

Longbowmen all have to be more than 1.75 meters tall, not to mention, they also have long hands, at least one stone or more hard bow, and you can't open a bow alone, you have to be able to shoot more than seven arrows in at least a minute. Otherwise, the longbow's long-range and ultra-fast rate of fire would not be able to be brought into play. But such conditions are not low.

"Or, go to the 20,000 prisoners of war and choose some suitable ones, there are so many prisoners of war, there is always a suitable one, right?" Dou Jiande knew that he couldn't compete with the other three, so he began to hit the idea on the prisoners of war, but there was really no way. The 1,000 and 6 longbowmen can only be regarded as semi-skilled longbowmen, and the remaining soldiers who are pulled out are not qualified at all, and they have been selected for a long time, and none of them are qualified, such soldiers are born insufficient, even if they practice, they can't get any results from practice, so it's better to change them as soon as possible.

Ling Yun shook his head: "Those prisoners of war can't be used for the time being!" ”

This is a red line, and the current expansion has made the troops a little scattered and difficult to control. If those bandit prisoners of war were to be organized into the army, wouldn't it be even more chaotic. In the Lingyun plan, these bandits must first be brainwashed for three months, teaching them all kinds of rules of Huaihuang Town, and during these three months, they are actually equivalent to a closed prison life, the purpose is to polish the bandits' anger on their bodies, sharpen their edges and corners, and also find out their identity and background. After three months, the same cannot be released. They had to be sent to build walls, build cities, and build houses, a process that would take at least half a year. Then it will be sent to open mountains and build roads for mining, at least for a year. Then look at the table xiàn and arrange other jobs for them, or be selected for the army. If the table is not good, continue mining. Twenty thousand bandits, Ling Yun didn't feel at ease and just let them out.

"One thousand and six longbowmen, divided equally among the four battalions, four hundred each." Ling Yun arbitrated impartially, "The remaining longbowmen are vacant, you can recruit and select each other, and whoever has the ability will recruit them." Of course, I also give you a condition, the cavalry has a monthly cavalry allowance, and I also give the longbowmen a monthly longbow allowance, as long as you are admitted to the longbow team, you will be given a monthly allowance for the troops, with this condition, you must be able to attract excellent archers to the assessment. In addition, you can also train yourself, as long as the physical condition is suitable, it doesn't matter if you don't know archery for the time being, you can teach, you have to carry forward the spirit of not waiting and not relying on, there are no longbowmen, and you can train a group of longbowmen by yourself. ”

After settling this dispute, several battalion owners raised another question, there were too few soldiers at the bottom.

"This question has also bothered me for a long time." Ling Yun nodded, and finally he knocked on the table and said, "I now have a preliminary idea, and I plan to train a group of clan leaders at a speed. ”

"How can this be cultivated?" Several people were a little puzzled, the captain of the gang has always been not an officer, but only a soldier. In the armies of various dynasties, basically only those who have become the head of the team can be regarded as officers of the ranks, and the rest are not in the stream, not even in the stream. But in fact, the role of Commander Wu in the army is huge, and these people are the core foundation of an army. But under normal circumstances, these captains are basically just promoting those experienced veterans, but now the Huaihuang Army is most lacking in this kind of veterans.

Ling Yun picked up a letter from the table and handed it to a few people, "I'll calculate it, below the head of the team and the deputy head of the team, I plan to establish a ten-level soldier." ”

"Troop rank?"

"It is equivalent to the loose rank of military attaché, but it is only given to non-qualified soldiers below the head of the team to reward the soldiers for their bravery."

This military qualification is basically equivalent to the military rank of soldiers and non-commissioned officers in later generations, in fact, this ten-level military seniority, he is basically a kind of soldier's rank in the Southern Song Dynasty.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a need to recruit more soldiers due to the urgency of the form. However, after recruiting soldiers in the Song Dynasty, they often had to tattoo characters on their faces or arms, which led to many people not wanting to be recruited at all. To solve the situation, a special kind of soldier appeared at that time, and that was utility. These effects are equivalent to volunteer soldiers, they voluntarily enlist in the army, so the court does not tattoo their faces, and because they are volunteer soldiers, and many people are still civilian soldiers, so the status of these people in the army is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and they are higher than ordinary soldiers in terms of military pay and various rewards. There are ten levels of these utilities, so Ling Yun took these utility levels as the ranks and non-commissioned officer ranks of the soldiers of the Huaihuang Army.

"One senior, two seniors, three seniors, four seniors, five times to listen to the call, six to wait for the call, seven to listen to the messenger, eight to listen to the messenger, nine to prepare for the call, ten to prepare to call!" Dou Jiande pinched the paper and read it carefully. "This is for Sergeant Wupin? Rank? (To be continued......)
