Chapter 69 Reorganized
After sending off the guerrilla generals, Li Xingzhi ordered Qian Anning to choose a place to bury more than 300 soldiers who died in battle, and at the same time prepared wine and food to reward the three armies, and the military horses returning to the mountains were ordered to rest and recuperate first.
The soldiers could sleep, but Li Xingzhi and the leaders of the cottage couldn't, so they all gathered in the Juyi Hall to discuss how to reorganize the Li Jiashan rebel army.
Now, if the Li Jiashan Righteous Army were to include all the displaced people, the young and the Han army, it would reach 2,300 people.
How to reorganize? Li Xingzhi also had a draft, and according to his plan, on the basis of the original, the Gangfeng Battalion and the Rapid Fire Battalion were broken up and expanded.
The Mandarin Duck Corps was expanded into two infantry teams, each with 40 pieces, and the firearms corps was also expanded into two infantry units, each with 400 people, and each of these four infantry corps had a chief and deputy officer.
The Steel Front Battalion and the Flame Battalion will respectively command an infantry team of mandarin duck soldiers and firearms soldiers, which means that these two battalions will be transformed from the previous single arm into a mixed infantry and artillery brigade.
In addition, Li Xingzhi also prepared to organize a cavalry team of 400 people, because the original Li Jiashan Righteous Army did not have a few who could ride horses, so Li Xingzhi considered transferring 200 new Han troops and 200 young men to mix, and the Han army taught them the art of riding and fighting one-on-one.
This will not only enable the young men to master the skills of cavalry as soon as possible, but also divide and manage the newly attached Han army.
In Li Xingzhi's view, the Gangfeng Battalion, the Rapid Fire Battalion, and the Cavalry Brigade will be the main combat forces of the Li Jiashan Righteous Army at present.
The remaining more than 200 soldiers were all assigned to the camp for earthquake prisoners, and their main task was to spy on and protect the old and weak women and children in the back camp, and at the same time undertake various matters such as law enforcement in the cottage.
The leaders agreed with Li Xingzhi's suggestion, after all, expanding the army means expanding power, and they would look at Li Xingzhi with hot eyes one by one, wanting to know who Li Xingzhi intended to be in charge of these two battle camps.
Li Xingzhi didn't know what they were thinking, but the composition of Li Jiashan's righteous army was too complicated, there were ruffians and hooligans, tenants and young people, there were officials and soldiers, the surrendered Han army, and the rich gentry's nursing home, and Zhou Xiang had to be considered in all aspects.
Therefore, Li Xingzhi immediately spoke: "The two battalions of Gangfeng Battalion and Flame Battalion do not have battalion officers at present, and they are temporarily under the direct jurisdiction of the lord of this village, and Wang Zhong and Li Rui are respectively appointed as the battalion deputies of Gangfeng Battalion and Swift Fire Battalion. ”
Wang Zhong and Li Rui were overjoyed, although they were only battalion deputies, Li Xingzhi had a lot of affairs, and the two of them were actually the battalion officers of these two battalions, and Li Xingzhi made the two of them directly subordinate to him, so he must regard himself as his confidant.
After arranging Wang Zhong and Li Rui, Li Xingzhi said with a smile: "The cavalry brigade is a sharp weapon for breaking the formation in the field and attacking and destroying the enemy. ”
Zhang Shaoqian and Lang Shaozhen were used to command the cavalry, one is that both of them are from the army, and they are the best candidates to command the cavalry, and the other is that one of the two was originally an official army, and the other was a Han army flag, which happened to contain each other to prevent a family from becoming dominant.
Zhang Shaoqian and Lang Shaozhen knew that Li Xingzhi's arrangement was also the proper meaning of the question, so they immediately went out to receive the order.
Li Xingzhi of the Zhenying Battalion was handed over to Yang Biao, Chen Wu served as the deputy of the battalion, and Qian Anning's rear battalion was also handed over to Yang Biao to command.
Yang Biao was very dissatisfied with Li Xingzhi's arrangement, and together with all of you, why did Lao Tzu only have more than 200 soldiers, and he still had to protect the old and weak women and children in the back camp.
Li Xingzhi smiled and reassured: "Brother Yang, don't worry, the back camp is really the root place of my Li Jiashan, I am waiting for the family to be in the back camp, and I need the henchmen to coordinate the scheduling, Brother Yang's responsibility is heavier than the war camp, if Brother Yang wants to lead the troops, after we have a stable rear, we will definitely expand the army, and then the owner of this village will expand the Zhenyu camp to 5,000 soldiers, which is good." ”
Yang Biao stopped talking, Li Xingzhi said this, what else could he say, so he had to laugh and say: "Brother Li, so Yang has the power and controls the back camp!" It's just the 5,000 soldiers you promised, but you must not forget it. ”
After the commanders of each battalion discussed the matter, Li Xingzhi discussed with everyone the candidates for the officers and deputies of each team.
These officers and lieutenants not only have to fight on the front line, but also play the role of connecting the upper and lower levels, so the leaders and soldiers who have performed well in several battles are elected by the leaders.
After discussion, the officer of the Mandarin Duck Soldier A team is Li Mingda, and the deputy of the team is Zhang Erniu, one of these two is from the official army, brave and good at fighting, Zhang Erniu is Gaoyang's gangster background, when he broke Leijiabao and Liu Lizhuang, he had cut down several nursing homes, and he was also a brave person.
Ma Sanbiaozi, the officer of the Mandarin Duck Soldier B team, and Jin Hai, the deputy of the team, are also clever and transparent, and they have made great contributions to the cottage.
The officers of the two firearms infantry teams were carefully selected by leaders such as Li Rui and Zhang Shaoqian, namely Ma Liu, Yang Fei, Tao Wu and Niu Dali, who were all more skilled in the use of firearms.
Li Xingzhi did not allow it, the reason is that there are few people in his pocket, and Ma Sande is also a relatively good talent among them.
After reorganizing the battalions and appointing the commanders of each battalion and team, Li Xingzhi said quietly: "Your so-called name is not right, and you don't go along with your words, and if you don't go well, then you can't do anything, since we have reorganized the battalions, then we have to set up a new battalion head, otherwise some will call the leader, and some will call the village owner, isn't it a mess?" The owner of this village intends to reorganize our righteous army into the Jingbei Army and establish the Jingbei General's Mansion, and the owner of the village will lead this Jingbei general by himself, how about it? ”
Li Xingzhi wants to set up the Jingbei General's Mansion, everyone will naturally have no opinion, anyway, you are the owner of the village, you have the final say, to put it mildly, you are not a big deal even if you are the king, Li Zicheng They also call themselves kings and generals? It's not a big deal.
After reformulating the establishment of the rebel army in the cottage and the military commanders of each battalion, Li Xingzhi ordered the whole army to resume training tomorrow, just waiting for Huang Wenchang to send supplies and equipment to Lijiashan.
Like Li Jiashan, the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Jingshi is also in chaos at the moment.
When the eastern captives entered Kou Gyeonggi, there were continuous reports of defeat in various places, and the food and salary of the army of King Qin had to be raised in various places, and many things were piled up together, and several cabinet auxiliary ministers were busy and anxious.
"Smack!"
Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, threw the newspaper in his hand in front of the case, and said hatefully: "Liu Chao, the chief soldier of Zhending, stopped his troops, feared the enemy and avoided the battle, and sat back and watched the Dongyu invade Zhaozhou, which is really a crime that deserves death." ”
Yang Sichang got up and picked up the song on the ground and said: "Shoufu and the anger of the thunder, the Dongyu enters Kou Jinggi, Liu Chao still needs to protect the Zhending Mansion City, and the merits of the generals are still to wait for the Dongyu to retreat before making plans." ”
Liu Yuliang said dejectedly: "What Elder Yang Ge said is extremely true, if it is dealt with suddenly, this pavilion may also provoke a mutiny. ”
The second assistant Xue Guo looked at Liu Yuliang and Yang Sichang, who were singing and harmonizing, disdainful in his heart, and casually opened a question book on the desk, and when he raised his eyes, it was actually the report of Sun Chengzong, the former cabinet assistant.
Sun Chengzong is seventy-six this year, and he is in Gaoyang for a long time, what can he do to play the court, Xue Guoguan was curious, so he opened the question.
"Five thousand ...... 500 ,...... The puppet king Abatai fled ...... in disarray. ”
