Nanyang Mansion City.

The nobility of these empires. With a large amount of resources in their hands, the rebels' requisition of grain has seriously threatened their interests, and the antagonism is serious. Moreover, the nursing homes and house slaves in their hands are also a potential safety hazard.

For these nobles, those who dare to resist, the elite battalion soldiers are dispatched to suppress it, and the rebel army who is willing to cooperate will not embarrass them, after all, they have a monopoly on knowledge and the right to speak, Yang Qi has the intention to overthrow the empire, and he must get their support.

After the food was requisitioned, the methods of the rebels remained the same as before. Recruit a variety of blacksmiths, carpenters, and other craftsmen.

There are splashers and thieves who dare to take advantage of the chaos to burn, and without Yang Qi's orders, Jiang Feng has already ordered the Black Flag to cooperate with the generals to arrest and clean up a large number of them.

When the situation in the city finally eased, Yang Qi, who gradually freed up time, began to expand his army non-stop - this is the first priority of the rebel army at present!

After the review of Li Wu and Zhou Ping, the soldiers who had performed well before were collectively awarded. Taking advantage of the high morale of the army, Yang Qi took the original elite battalion as the basis and expanded it into a guard regiment, with 5,500 people in one guard.

As the most powerful full-fledged guard regiment at this stage, Yang Qi equipped all of them with leather armor and iron swords, and their monthly salaries were also the best.

The commander of the first guard general of this elite battalion finally fell to Zhou Ping's head.

The result of this appointment is not surprising to anyone.

Everyone knows that in the previous battles, whenever there was a task, Zhou Ping took the lead, rushed to the front line, and broke through Nanyang Fucheng. Yang Qi has clear rewards and punishments, Zhou Ping has made great achievements, and he is loyal, and this most elite combat force is naturally controlled by him.

On the basis of Li Wu's 1,000 elite troops, the other guard drew from the new barracks and training camps to enrich its troops with strong young men who had been on the battlefield and had been stained with blood.

After the reorganization was completed as quickly as possible, the two newly formed guard regiments were quickly put into rigorous training.

Laboriously got the two guard regiments, and it was Zhang Wuwu's turn to expand the army, for the new generals, Yang Qi paid special attention to them, and did not mess up his headquarters, on this basis, he formed a battalion of troops, and appointed him as the general of the thousand-person household battalion, Lei Chuan continued to serve as Zhang Wuwu's army to join the army.

The standard of conscription is relatively low, and with the fact that the rebels have more than 200,000 people in the empire, it is relatively easy to fill this gap. Combined with the young adults in the recruit camp who performed quite well, these alone made up four or five hundred people. The rest of the people have basically made up enough numbers through the recruitment of the rebels in Nanyang City in the past few days.

After the completion of this expansion, Chen Wu's main force will form two guard regiments, two independent thousand-man battalions, and one thousand-man cavalry battalion.

The army of 14,000 people is expanding at an astonishing rate, which also means that the combat effectiveness has dropped sharply, and strict training and cultivation are required to form combat effectiveness.

In the Battle of Longling Mountain and the duel of thousands of people on the outskirts of Si County, a large number of armor weapons were captured, and with his own private creation, Yang Qi could basically equip half of the troops with iron swords, and only half of the new soldiers could be equipped with armor.

The remaining soldiers also have paper armor and spears as weapons, and as long as there is a certain amount of time to train and precipitate, the strength of the rebel army will once again usher in a qualitative leap.

For the foreseeable period of time in the future, with the exception of the county seat, such an army can almost go sideways in Ansan County.

Yang Qi duly announced the appointment of the two guard regiments. Zhou Ping, who performed well after joining the rebel army, was unsurprisingly appointed as the guard general of the First Guard Regiment of the Volunteer Battalion. As for the appointment of the second guard regiment, it is naturally Li Wu.

These two people, one of them showed amazing ability in training, and they were extremely good in both combat and command in the first battle of Sixian; The other is a brave man in his own right. The two of them led the two guard regiments, and the rebel army basically recognized them. After the two took office that day, they also held back their enthusiasm and formulated a new training plan, striving to improve the combat effectiveness of their subordinates as much as possible in the shortest possible time.

This kind of benign internal competition is undoubtedly the atmosphere that Yang Qi is happy to see.

Compared to the smooth expansion of the infantry army, the expansion of the cavalry is much more difficult.

Before attacking Nanyang Fucheng, the cavalry of the rebel army was short of both men and horses. Up to now, there is no shortage of war horses for the time being, and there are more than 1,000 horses captured by Zhang Wufu plus Nanyang Mansion City, but there is still a shortage of qualified riders. It is not impossible for Nanyang City to be able to ride and shoot, but they are often the children of those rich families, and ordinary people simply cannot afford the cost of training. And it is almost impossible for these people to really join his rebel army.

After a few days of recruitment, more people were recruited grooms......

For horse breeding or riding, they may be qualified, but there is no way to count on combat power.

Yang Qi had no choice but to train in person for the time being. For now
