In the evening of the same day, in front of all the officers above the platoon level of the former Haw Par Army, Wei Zheng officially introduced Zhou Shuyuan, a rookie military division of the Haw Par Army, to everyone.

Subsequently, a meeting on the expansion of the Haw Par Army was held under the chairmanship of Wei Zheng.

Wang Feng, who was in charge of recruiting more than 2,000 young and strong soldiers, first reported: "General, so far, there are a total of 1,256 people who have taken the initiative to sign up for the Haw Par Army and passed the series of assessments you proposed..."

"Among them, there are 659 former officers and soldiers, 321 ordinary military households in the guard, and 276 ordinary people..."

"As long as the expansion of our Haw Par Army is completed, and at the latest a week of recovery training, those officers and men from the former official army can initially form combat effectiveness..."

Zhao Yun followed up with a report: "Among the remaining 1,300 people, 115 people took the initiative to join the weapons factory as apprentices, and the remaining 1,200 people all chose to serve my Haw Par Army for free for five years. In addition, of the five Xiucai that you asked me to focus on persuading, General, three Xiucai are willing to join my Haw Par Army..."

Wei Zheng nodded, and said with a satisfied face: "So many people have taken the initiative to ask to join our Tiger and Leopard Army, it seems that our decision to improve the treatment and status of soldiers is right......

Then, he opened his mouth to the subordinates in front of him and ordered, "Since Mr. Zhou Shuyuan and Mr. Zhou have served as the military advisor of my Tiger and Leopard Army, then Mr. Zhou cannot be idle. Brother Wang, you will immediately hand over the more than 100 craftsmen who took the initiative to join our Haw Par Army and the remaining more than 1,000 young people to Mr. Zhou for processing. ”

At the same time, the armory factory and the construction of the city wall at Mushroom Valley were all handed over to the military management. From now on, we, the officers, have specialized in military training for the troops. ”

"Yes, general......" Under the gaze of Wei Zheng's sharp eyes, more than a dozen subordinates replied in unison.

Wei Zheng nodded, and ordered Zhou Shuyuan, who was sitting in the first place: "Strategist, from now on, all the logistics affairs of our Haw Par Army will be handed over to you, and the three talents who are willing to participate in our Haw Par Army will also be handed over to you, and assist you in managing the logistics affairs of the Haw Par Army, how to distribute it is your business......

"Please rest assured, since I, Zhou Shuyuan, have joined the Haw Par Army, I will definitely do my best to do my best for the Haw Par Army. I used to manage the tax revenue of a county in the county office, and I managed all the logistics of the Haw Par Army, and there was absolutely no problem. ”

Wei Zheng shook his head in surprise and said, "Military Division, managing logistics belongs to managing logistics." However, don't forget who you really are, the Haw Par Army, the one who gave me advice. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng's eyes lit up, and he asked Zhou Shuyuan in front of him: "Military advisor, you are from a high background, and you have served in the imperial court, and your understanding of the official army and the Tartar is definitely far superior to ours. Do you think that our Haw Par Army can expand its army in order to hold on to its existing territory and allow it to survive in this troubled world. ”

As a newcomer who has just joined the Tiger and Leopard Army, Zhou Shuyuan doesn't want to be pushed to the front so quickly, and he also holds such a high official position as a military advisor.

Therefore, as soon as Wei Zheng's order to let him manage logistics was issued, he was in a hurry to agree, wanting to temporarily hide in the background of the Haw Par Army and get the approval of the Haw Par Army little by little. However, Wei Zheng, who was sitting in the first place, saw through his purpose at a glance and had to walk out of the front desk.

After a wry smile on his face, Zhou Shuyuan replied with a cautious face......

"General, with my understanding of the officers and the Tartars, if our Haw Par Army wants to survive in the gap between the officers and the Tartars, we must meet the following conditions."

"First, the troops must have a mobile force that can maneuver quickly, which is what we call cavalry."

"Although in the eyes of many, with more and more firearms equipping troops, cavalry has played a much less important role in the field. However, we have to admit that in several field battles between the officers and the Tartar cavalry, the firearms units of the officers did not block the attacking Tartar cavalry. ”

"As long as the Tartar cavalry breaks through the interception fire net shot by the officers and soldiers, and rushes in front of the phalanx of the officers and infantry. The Tartar cavalry, with its superior speed and powerful assault ability, could inflict a devastating blow on the infantry phalanx in a short period of time. ”

"Therefore, although the role of cavalry on the battlefield is getting smaller and smaller, cavalry is an indispensable branch of the army, and if we want to develop and grow, we must have our own cavalry troops."

Wei Zheng, who knows history, knows that before the invention of the heavy machine gun and the equipment of the troops, the cavalry has not been replaced by various countries, and even in the next few hundred years, the development of cavalry has been continuously increased.

Since the cavalry can still survive for hundreds of years in history, and it is getting stronger and stronger, then it has a reason to exist.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Shuyuan finished speaking, Wei Zheng said with a look of approval: "I agree with our Tiger and Leopard Army to form a cavalry battalion. Otherwise, so many war horses that we have captured from the Tartars will be in vain. ”

After speaking, he continued to say to Zhou Shuyuan in front of him: "Strategist, you continue to ......"

Zhou Shuyuan nodded and said, "In addition to cavalry, we must also form firearms troops. Because, the firearms unit is the only unit that we can restrain the Tartar archers and carry out long-range attacks on the Tartars. ”

"Cavalry units harass and surprise the enemy on the battlefield, and firearms units carry out long-range strikes against the enemy on the battlefield. The next step is the troops that fight the enemy at close range. ”

"I know our Tiger and Leopard Army, and this close-range fighting force is our Tiger and Leopard Army's pikemen."

After Zhou Shuyuan finished his introduction, a bold plan for the expansion of the Tiger and Leopard Army was immediately formed in Wei Zheng's mind.

When more than a dozen subordinates focused their eyes on him at the same time, Wei Zheng decisively ordered: "My idea is that after the expansion of the Tiger and Par Army is completed, it will have a cavalry battalion, a musket battalion, a spear battalion, an artillery battalion, and a logistics baggage team, with a total strength of 1,350 people. ”

"The commander of the cavalry battalion was promoted by Captain Zhao Yunzhao, and twenty commanders suitable for cavalry combat were transferred from the original pikemen team to join the cavalry battalion and serve as temporary officers at all levels. The shortage of soldiers and generals was selected from 1,200 and young and strong, with a total strength of 310 people, one man and two horses. ”

"I personally served as the commander of the musket battalion, and twenty pikemen from the original pikemen were transferred to the musket battalion as temporary commanders, directing the troops to conduct training... When the musket battalion was formed, the total strength was also 310 men. ”

"The commander of the spear battalion was promoted by Captain Wang Fengwang, and the remaining officers and men of the original spear battalion served as officers at all levels of the spear battalion, and the other vacancies will be selected from more than 1,200 recruits. After the formation of the pikemen, the total strength was also 310 men. ”

"The commander of the artillery operation battalion is also temporarily concurrently held by me, and it is expanded from the original artillery platoon, with a total of one Huzun artillery team and two medium-sized Franco machine gun teams, with a total strength of 210 people, equipped with all the artillery we captured from Santun Fort."

"The logistics baggage team was expanded from the original baggage, the former chief was promoted to the deputy captain, and the captain of the baggage team was temporarily concurrently served by Zhao Yun. The remaining personnel of more than 1,200 recruits were all incorporated into the baggage team, and the total strength of the baggage team was uncertain......."

"In addition, each of the above battalions has an additional firehead corps and a platoon of baggage transports, which are under the direct jurisdiction of the battalion commanders. In other words, from now on, each battalion of our Haw Par Army will set up separate rooms for dining. ”

After a series of orders were issued, Wei Zheng directly continued to order in a categorical tone: "Our army expansion plan has been decided for the time being, and if there is any change in the future, we will discuss it....I will give you two days, and after two days, more than 200 recruits in one day must be distributed, and each battalion must also be formed." ”

The expansion of the Haw Par Army, and it is several times the expansion of the army at one time, which directly means that the person sitting here can at least be promoted to vice captain, or even captain. Therefore, after Wei Zheng's army expansion order was issued, everyone had a heartfelt smile on their faces and loudly assured Wei Zheng.

"Please rest assured, the general is guaranteed to complete the mission..."
