The generals from Matsuyama did not have an artillery background, and they did not know much about how to use artillery, and there were two artillerymen among the generals, but Dayong had no intention of handing over the artillery battalion to the generals. He liked Shao Wu, an old subordinate who followed him in Songshan, but Shao Wu was ordered to return to Jinzhou to transfer troops, so after Dayong thought about it again, he still used Song Qing as the temporary candidate for the battalion officer.

The candidates for the five thousand households also selected three officers from Songshan, namely Dong Zhong, the former general of Songshan, Wu Guoqing, the former Songshan Wei Zuoqian Fort, and Yang Fu, the former Songshan Wei signing officer. The other two were entrusted to Gao Huai and Shen Yi, who were in charge of the artillery of the New Army. In addition, Dayong also assigned more than a dozen instructors to the newly established artillery battalion, which were Portuguese officers who were captured by the rebels after the destruction of Dengzhou.

In order to make the new army of firearms and firearms form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Sun Yuanhua not only purchased artillery arquebuses from Macao at a large amount of money, but also hired a group of instructors and craftsmen. When the city of Dengzhou was broken, the Portuguese officer chief teacher Xi Teixeira 61 Correa and 11 of his men died in the battle for the Ming Dynasty, and Fisk and 15 others served the rebels. After Li Zhongfu and Geng Zhongming killed Mao Chenglu and surrendered, Fisk and others became prisoners of the Jinzhou army. For these aliens who came all the way to the East to make a fortune, Dayong did not attach much importance to them, and neither killed them nor released them. Originally, I wanted to wait for the imperial court to send someone to take over Dengzhou and hand them over to the imperial court, but now there is an opportunity for them to give full play to their strengths.

The use of arquebuses is no longer necessary for these foreign teachers to teach, and the use of artillery still needs their strength. Like Sun Yuanhua, Dayong also paid these Portuguese officers a lot of money and silver, and like those young people in Tuntian, Dayong also clearly told these Portuguese officers that they could leave as long as they had served in the Jinzhou Army for three years, and there would be a gift for the passage at that time. Fix and the others were very satisfied with this condition, they had not settled in the country, and if they had a way, they would not risk dying on the sea and come all the way to the East to seek wealth. After being captured by the rebels, they did a lot of things for the rebels in order to save their lives, and they also did a lot of murder and looting, thinking that they could take advantage of the situation to make a fortune, but they didn't want the rebels to be defeated by the Ming Dynasty so quickly, and they also became prisoners. Thinking of what they had done before, Fix and the others had no idea of survival. Instead of curing them of their crimes, the remnant-faced general who didn't want to think of the Ming Dynasty continued to hire them with a lot of money, which made the Portuguese feel grateful, and they said that they would definitely serve the Ming and the general with all their hearts.

After Fix and the others were grateful, Dayong turned his head and instructed Guo Yi: "At the end of the three-year period, chop up these white miscellaneous pieces and feed them to the dogs." ”

There were originally more than 100 artisans from Macao, but unfortunately after the rebels entered the city, they showed no mercy to these like-looking compatriots, except for three interpreters and seven craftsmen who had been staying with the Portuguese officers, everyone else was killed. After the artillery battalion was established, Dayong also retained these craftsmen for the maintenance of firearms in the future, and found some craftsmen among the prisoners, and found a site in Shuicheng after gathering 100 people as the location of the Jinzhou Army's weapons maintenance bureau. However, now this maintenance bureau is still an empty shelf, there are not many weapons for them to repair, and there is a lack of raw materials and tools, and Dayong is not too proficient in this area, so he wants to wait for Ma Zhong of Jinzhou to come over and then sort out the affairs of the maintenance bureau, and strive to develop this maintenance bureau into an arsenal of the Jinzhou army. Now, let's keep these people for the time being, and give them some small things to do with the construction and maintenance of farm tools.

There are two new battalions of new firearms, each with 4,000 people, and the soldiers are equipped with a new arquebus, a waist knife, and a cotton armor. The two new firearms battalions are still named after the left firearms battalion and the right firearms battalion, and the battalion officers are Jiang Wanli of the left battalion and Li Dashan of the right battalion respectively. Of the 8,000 households, four were elected Jinzhou officers, and the remaining four were served by generals Li Zhongfu, Zheng Tai, Xiang Chong, and Du Dao. The appointment of the hundred households and the general flag officers is also basically half to half. This arrangement is to win over these generals to serve the Jinzhou army with peace of mind, after all, many of their original subordinates are in these reorganizations, and if one of them is not used, it will inevitably cause the worries of these surrenderers. Moreover, Dayong believes that these generals and those soldiers are not really unbearable wastes, and their ability to make such a big disturbance in the north and frighten the officers and soldiers to flee from afar proves their combat effectiveness. The reason for the failure was only because they encountered the stronger Jinzhou Army, and as long as they were reformed and integrated into the Jinzhou Army, these people would still be able to display a strong combat effectiveness that should not be underestimated.

Let a sheep lead a group of wolves, it must be unsightly, but let a wolf lead a group of sheep, it is impressive, and the Jinzhou army is not a wolf, but a group of wolves, these generals are not a group of sheep, they are wolves that have fought with Dongyu. As long as they arouse their wolf nature, they are still a pack of wolves that make opponents fearful.

The baggage battalion was also expanded, with 1,000 soldiers and 4,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 5,000 households. The whole battalion is equipped with 300 auxiliary wagons, and for the time being, the task of the baggage battalion is basically to transport grain and grass, and there is no need to go into war. The weapon configuration is a new arquebus and a waist knife for the soldiers, and the auxiliary soldiers only wear an old firecracker, and do not have another weapon.

The above four battalions, 5,000 artillery battalions, 8,000 infantry battalions, 5,000 baggage battalions, a total of 18,000 people, plus Cao Bianjiao's wolf cavalry, the five armies have a total of 20,500 people.

Dayong's pro-military battalion did not move, it was still 800 people, and the four battalion officers Guo Cheng, Li Gu, Wang Fei, and Lin Junyi were all in the rank of a thousand households, and they were still directly led by Dayong. The reason why he did not expand his own pro-soldier camp was because Dayong did not want to use all his resources to build his own pro-soldiers like other generals of the Ming Dynasty, ignoring other soldiers, so that most of the soldiers in the army could only be reduced to auxiliaries. In this way, it is difficult for the army to be united on the battlefield, and once the pro-army team is defeated, the victory or defeat will be decided. Dayong is obviously dissatisfied with such a battlefield model, he hopes that his soldiers are all the same elite, and they can all work the battlefield in the same way, instead of being reduced to the role of waving the flag and shouting.

Guo Yi was not sent to serve in the battalion by Dayong, and Dayong continued to keep him by his side to command 50 personal guards, which was arranged because Dayong felt that Guo Yi was too small. Counting the virtual age, Guo Yi is actually only 16 years old, and Dayong still wants to stay by his side for a few more years before being released. Guo Yi did not complain about such an arrangement, he went to serve Dayong's brother Dazhi when he was 11 years old, and after Dazhi died, he went to Dayong's side, and subconsciously regarded Dayong's brother as his brother. After witnessing Dazhi's tragic death, Guo Yi didn't want to see Dayong die in battle, so he thought about staying by Dayong's side, and in case of danger in the future, he might be able to block a fatal arrow for Dayong.

After this reorganization and expansion, the whole army has nearly 21,500 soldiers, and there are 2.6 million stone of grain in Dengzhou at present, and one stone of grain is about 120 catties. Coupled with the fact that Tuntian is ongoing, the shortage of food that Dayong has been worried about does not have to worry about at all unless there is any major change.

The reorganization took seven days, and during this time, Dayong never left Shuicheng for a single step, and it was not until the reorganization was completed that he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go to Qian Dagang's Dengzhou Water Division to have a look. Song Guanglan, who didn't want to be in the city, sent someone to hurriedly run to tell him that Jingshi was coming.

Is Jingshi here? The Divine Decree has arrived? Dayong was shocked, Gao Qiqian should not have arrived in Beijing yet, and Beijing didn't send someone to Dengzhou so quickly, could something have happened?

Thinking of his hard work for Dengzhou and the Jinzhou army these days, Dayong couldn't help but be excited, he was very afraid that the imperial court had sent someone to receive Dengzhou, and he was also afraid that the imperial court would order him to return to Jinzhou after knowing his actions, so that his hard work would be wasted.

The generals also knew that there were people in the capital, and they all ran to Dayong's military tent for a while, and they were all very nervous, Dayong appeased them a few words, gave Cao Bianjiao and Jiang Wanli a look, and quietly rode back to the city with his own guards.

Before arriving at the city gate, I saw that Wang Hui and Song Cheng and other officials were already waiting there, and when they saw the figure of Dayong, they ran over like they saw their father and mother.

Dayong himself didn't know what the people from Lu Dao Jingzhong were doing, and he was worried, but he still appeased the demoted officials, so that they didn't have to worry and went to their own errands, everything was his responsibility, Shi Dayong was not a trustworthy person. That being said, which of the demoted officials can be at ease, and they can still comfort themselves if things don't come to the end, and now that things are coming, how can they still comfort themselves and say that there is nothing to do. And it was a team of soldiers of Jinyi Guard who escorted people from Beijing, which made them even more afraid. In the Ming generation, most of the officials were arrested by the people of Jinyiwei, and now it is Jinyiwei who comes to Dengzhou, although Jinyiwei and Dongchang have been abolished after today's son ascended the throne, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the tiger that sheds its hair also bites, and they are guilty of treason that is worse than the crime of treason, can you not be afraid!

After a few more words of reassurance, seeing that the officials were still panicked, Dayong ignored them and went into the city with his whip. After entering the city, he went straight to the governor's yamen, and the people sent by Song Guanglan reported that Lord Song had arranged all the people from the capital in the governor's yamen.
