Chapter 141: Discussion of Army Expansion

The Xiangyi army drove a large number of cattle, as well as one hundred and ten light and serious wounded, all the way was not happy, walked for ten days, finally returned to Taiyuan on the tenth day of August, successive victories, Taiyuan prefect and Hedong envoys could not say nothing, set up a triumphal arch, played a victory song to enter the army into the city, the people who watched were crowded, like a festival, the local chamber of commerce, the gentry from all walks of life also raised money and property to work in the barracks, it was really lively for a few days. update

After Zhao Ta came back, he said that he was ill and handed over all the affairs to He Qufei to deal with. This is good, everyone understands as soon as they hear it, this is about to be a holiday, and the prince wants us to bleed! Come on, all the states, governments, armies, and counties are sending large bags to the house, eating, using, flowers, and of course, medicinal materials are indispensable, and soon the warehouse is piled up.

"Lord Wang, look at it again, how can our Tenglong Camp have one less star than the Flying Tiger Battalion, it must be a miscalculation!" Gao Chong blushed and said, a merit evaluation meeting is being held in the camp of the Xiangyi army on the edge of the city.

"High commander, don't talk nonsense, why can't our Flying Tiger Battalion have one more star than you, you have three heads and six arms, or do you eat more than us?" Zhao Zhong's good temper is gone, and he sneered.

"You two don't fight, blush or blush!" Zhao Ren said with a bluffed face.

"Commander, this is about the honor of our battalion, you can give us less reward, this star must be added to us!" Gao Pet said with a stalk around his neck.

"It's okay if you don't give me a reward, and you can't give him this star!" Zhao Zhong did not show weakness, and slapped the table and shouted.

"Wang joins the army, your statistics are not wrong, right?" Zhao Ta asked Shen Songyue, who was sitting on the side.

"Lord Wang, after repeated inspections and verification, there is no mistake!" Wang Jin got up and replied.

"High commander, do you have anything to say, everything is there, and you can't fight for merit like this!" Zhao Zhong took care of it and said with a smile.

"Zhao Yi, pull Gao Zhong and Zhao Zhong out of the Lu and fight the ten army sticks by themselves!" Zhao Ta said suddenly.

"Yes!" Zhao Yi immediately got up, pulled the two of them and walked out.

"Lord Wang, what are you doing, why are you beating me?" Gao Zhong quit, and Zhao Zhong didn't leave.

"One is bold and presumptuous, and the other is arrogant, shouldn't he be beaten?" Zhao Ta said with a calm face.

"The king... Lord Wang, the two of them just argued for a few words, the high commander didn't seem to be taking the lead, and Zhao Zhong only said a few cool words, so he didn't violate military discipline, right? Zhao Yi also let go when he heard this. update

"Don't they count?" Zhao Ta looked at everyone and asked, everyone nodded, "Then remove their chairs, stand and reflect, even if they don't violate military rules, there are signs of this, let them remember for a long time!" ”

"Lord Wang, this... This one does! Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but when he saw the fierce gaze of the prince, he still asked the two of them to stand up and removed the chairs.

"You two still feel resentful, this credit is cut with a knife and a shot, you have the ability to go to the battlefield to cut, and you can fight for a fart on the table!" Zhao Ta nodded at the two of them and said, "Do you see a star on the banner of the battalion under the tyrant, but who in the whole army dares to say that their battalion has no merit, and it is not harder than any of you to send food and grass, ammunition, and escort the wounded, but did you hear what they said?" This is the realm, learn a little! ”

"Lord Wang, I am willing to give a part of the bounty of our battalion to the baggage battalion!" Gao Zhong drooped his head and raised his eyelids.

"Lord Wang, I am willing too!" Zhao Zhong also hurriedly said.

"Hmph, this attitude is almost the same, you have to remember, we are a whole, no one can do without anyone, there is no Flying Tiger Battalion to block the Xia Army, hold on for two days, it is your turn to take a knife to cut, on the other hand, without reinforcements from the Tenglong Battalion, can you Flying Tiger Battalion last another day, think about it!" Zhao Ta snorted coldly and said. …,

"You two sit down, the prince has already sent his reward to the baggage camp!" Zhao Ren pulled them to sit down and said.

"The new recruits are coming in another month, this is the second expansion of our Xiangyi army in a year, including me, officers at all levels lack experience in the command and training of large troops, this expansion is a severe test for us, and this will be a battle that will decide the fate of our Xiangyi army!" Zhao Ta said solemnly, "So we must do a good job in the whole training work, Zhao Ren, you immediately set out to work out a detailed training plan, and the commanders of the other battalions and all the heads of the other battalions must write down their own experience in leading the troops, and hand it over to Wang Senjun three days later, and he will organize and compile it into a book, which will be used as our learning materials, and at the same time set up a teaching team and organize training, everyone here must be fully mentally prepared!" ”

Seeing that the prince said solemnly, everyone also became serious, and Zhao Ta went on to talk about his preliminary idea, this expansion will recruit 15,000 people, plus the original 3,000 people, the total number will reach about 18,000 people. This number was carefully calculated by Zhao Ta, and it is generally said that Han Xin has more troops, but he has to take into account his own economic affordability and weapon production capacity.

According to the military system at this time, the unit was organized into an army, with four generals under its jurisdiction, each with 3,200 men, organized into four commanders plus a baggage battalion and a directly subordinate team composed of a personal guard team, a law enforcement team, a machine gun team, and a scout team. The units directly under the military headquarters have a total of 3,500 personnel in the first pro-military battalion, one scout battalion, two machine gun battalions, one engineer battalion, and one baggage battalion, as well as six commanders and staff members accompanying the army in managing grain and grass, fighting in armor, recruiting troops, and training, and a training camp of 1,000 people will be set up to stay behind.

The formation of the general will be expanded according to the existing four commands, that is, one will be expanded into one command, and one command will be expanded into a general, the original officers will be promoted to one level, and the junior officers will be selected from among the non-commissioned officers who have been awarded this time and from among the non-commissioned officers with outstanding combat performance.

After the prince finished talking about his plan, the people sitting in the hall were all officers above the military capital of Xiangyi, and everyone used to love to talk about it after the prince finished speaking, but this time it became silent, and they were all shocked by this plan to expand the army. Except for a few people like Gao Chong and Xiao Yu, they were all from Beifu in the personal guard training camp of Xiangyi Beifu, and at that time, there were only about fifty people with the prince, but in five or six years, it had swelled into a large army of 18,000 people, and this drastic change made them hard to believe for a while.

"Why don't you say anything, is it a fart, or is it peeing?" Zhao Ta looked at everyone present and said with a smile, although he had also thought of having a large army, he didn't expect it to come so quickly, let alone these people.

"Lord Wang, if I am asked to bring a conductor, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for a while!" Xu Biao, the head of the first battalion of Jiadu, said curtly.

"Hehe, it turns out that Xu Dadu, the famous thorn head of the guard training camp, also has a time when he is timid!" Xu Biao, this kid, used to change the law to compete with the prince, but every time he was cleaned up, he was not convinced, thinking about the re-fight of the law, and he became very famous at that time.

"Lord Wang, I am now in charge of more than 100 people, just obey the order to rush and kill, and now suddenly let me take care of more than 500 people, worry about their eating, drinking, Lazar and sleep, and also arrange troops, I'm afraid this will not be good!" Xu Biao knew that it would be no good for the prince to smile at this time, and said timidly.

"Xu Biao obeys orders!" Zhao Ta nodded at him and shouted.

"The subordinates are here!" Xu Biao immediately got up and stood upright, holding his chest up, but he secretly complained in his heart, his premonition was true, so many people have more mouths, this is going to be cleaned up again, he understands very well, whether it is his own little capital, or the commander Zhao Ren and them, in front of the prince in this life, he can't straighten his waist, and he has already been cleaned up and obeyed, if he gets angry, anyone will tremble. …,

"Tell me what you've learned since the Beifu training camp?" Zhao Ta walked behind Xu Biao and patted him on the shoulder and asked.

"Tell the captain, my subordinates have learned to ride horses, shoot, fight, and also know words, learn to write reports, collect intelligence, survey the terrain, and..."

"And what?" Zhao Tan asked sharply.

"As well as infantry and cavalry offensive and defensive tactics, the use of formation queues, infantry and cavalry coordination, infantry and artillery coordination, as well as learning "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Wujing General Essentials" in Jiangwutang, and reading "Liutao", "Three Strategies", "Li Jing's Dialogue" and so on!" Xu Biao replied honestly that since he entered the training camp, he has not only begun to continuously study basic military knowledge, but also entered the martial arts hall for the first time to listen to the discussion of the army, and even after entering the northwest to fight, he has not interrupted his study.

"Hmph, I let you learn 'the way to seek peace and security, govern a strong army, and win the battlefield', so let you lead a capital to come forward and fight with others?" Zhao Ta asked in an unkind tone.

"Lord Wang, I was wrong, I must be a good commander, and then a good general, and..." Xu Biao held his head high, and said loudly with his chest folded.

"What's more, then you will be *** prince!" Zhao Ta was amused by this living treasure and scolded with a smile.

"Then where do I dare, I am the one who protects the prince, if anyone dares to go against the prince, I will lead someone to cut them down first!" Xu Biao said with a smile, his words made everyone laugh, but he also said what everyone wanted.

"Okay, don't be poor anymore, everyone is clear about things, the most important thing at the moment is to set up a junior sergeant training class, this task will be handed over to Xu Biao, you will be the captain, and the three hundred backbone people below the commander will be selected and handed over to you within three days of each commander, for a period of one month, if you want money, you will find Zhao Ren to deploy, and if you pass the training, you will be the commander, and if the training is not good, you will go to the fire army to cook!" Zhao Ta patted Xu Biao and said.

"Yes, my subordinates have orders!" Xu Biao said with a bitter face, this is really bad luck!

"Zhao Zhi, I'll eat dinner in your baggage camp today, prepare some good wine and food and send it to the wounded soldiers, the account will be on me, let's dismiss!" Zhao Ta waved his hand, left his seat and went out the door, letting out a few light coughs.

Everyone got up to send off the prince, but seeing the tired expression of the prince, the slightly heavy steps, there was a trace of worry in his eyes, he was only seventeen years old, but he took on such a heavy burden, I was really worried that one day his immature shoulders would be crushed.
