The expansion of the armed forces is a very cumbersome matter, involving all aspects, such as the statistics of troop strength, the promotion of officers at the grassroots level, and the selection of soldiers...... The most important thing is the balance of interests, and with Zhu Jiajun's consistent vigorous and resolute actions, it took more than half a month to complete the preliminary completion.

After the reorganization, the total number of troops in the army was 14,000.

Among them, the original 5,800 people of the Zhujia army, 2,000 people of the official army of Dongping Prefecture, 800 people of Erlongshan, 2,500 people were selected from the Chen Shou prisoner camp, and more than 3,000 of the prisoners in the battle of Argaliyang were willing to join the Zhujia army.

The armies of the hills were scattered and reunited!

Lu Zhishen They don't care, Guan Sheng knows that he is going to be the chief general of the first army, and he is also content, what is not good; And Hu Yanzhuo's original department is a captive, how can this identity have the right to speak?

In order to pull people's heads, Hu Yanzhuo put a lot of effort into it, and he, Han Tao, and Peng Xi tried their best to encourage the captives to join the Zhujia army.

However, unlike the officers and soldiers of Dongping Mansion in their hometowns, there is a great obstacle in their hearts to let these officers and soldiers who came from afar surrender to the "anti-thieves", more than 7,000 prisoners, and in the end, less than half of them followed him, which is already considered to be his prestige in the army!

Of course, Hu Yanzhuo also has his own selfishness, in the long run, he has no foundation in the Zhu family army, and if a group of old subordinates support him, his status can be improved.

Right now, he wants to fight for the position of the main general of the four main forces!

Now that the Zhujia Army has expanded its army, in addition to the pro-guard army and the water division, four main armies have also been set up, and many people have moved their minds, including Hu Yanzhuo.

After fighting with Zhu Jiajun, he spent more than half a month in Zhujiazhuang, and he had already seen the strong strength and vigor of Zhu Jiajun.

Different from the ignorance and ignorance of ordinary anti-thieves, it is a mess, and the Zhujia army has clear rewards and punishments, and the law is orderly, and it is more well-trained than the imperial forbidden army. He chatted with Zhu Long a few times and found that he had a grand pattern and far-reaching vision, which can be described as a great talent and a hero.

He had some hope in his heart, maybe he could surpass his ancestors and become the founding hero.

So Hu Yanzhuo sent someone to bring his family and joined the Zhu family army wholeheartedly.

Since he was determined to follow Zhu Long all the way to the black, he naturally attached great importance to his position in the Zhu family army and was full of desire for the position of the main general.

However, when the selection of the main generals of the four main forces was announced, he was quite disappointed!

The four main forces are Qinglong, Baihu, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu, with four battalions per army, two thousand people, and one of the cavalry battalions.

Guan Sheng, the chief general of the Qinglong Army, Xu Ning, deputy generals, Hao Siwen, Yang Xiong, and Liu Tang are partial generals;

Lin Chong, the chief general of the White Tiger Army, Lu Fang, deputy generals, Li Yun, Deng Fei, and Cao Zheng;

Luan Tingyu, the chief general of the Vermilion Bird Army, Yang Zhi, the deputy general, and the partial generals Xie Zhen and Xie Bao;

The main general of the Xuanwu Army, Lu Zhishen, the deputy general Wu Song, and the partial generals Ou Peng and Ma Lin.

The main general of the water division has the least suspense, it is still Zhu Biao, deputy generals Hua Rong and Li Jun, and partial generals Ruan Er, Ruan Qi, Zhang Shun and Zou Yuan.

There are no Qin Ming and Sun Li on the list, which surprises many people, they are the captains of the five main battalions, and they have always performed well.

The defeat of the two of them made Hu Yanzhuo and these people speechless, who dared to be more qualified than Qin Ming?

This list was decided by Zhu Long after careful consideration.

Not only does he have to balance factions, but he also has to choose between decentralization and checks and balances.

There are many generals who have a relationship with each other, such as Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen are sworn brothers, Lin Chong and Xu Ning are old acquaintances, and they are Cao Zheng's master, there was still unhappiness between him and Yang Zhi, and Lu Zhishen and Wu Song and Yang Zhi are on the same mountain......

Generals with gaps can't be put together, so as not to hinder each other, such as Lin Chong and Yang Zhi.

And those generals who have a good relationship with each other, there is definitely no problem in cooperating in the war, which is conducive to the army giving full play to its combat effectiveness, but it also increases a certain risk, which is a threat to Zhu Longlai.

Zhu Long, who had just started the great cause of rebellion, had no choice, he had to do everything possible to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and as for the potential risks, he could only bear them.

Of course, he also has his own arrangements, this expansion, promoted a large number of grassroots officers, Zhu Long in the team leader, the head of the capital, the battalion captain these positions, installed many Zhujiazhuang old Zhuang guests, control the middle and lower levels of the army.

When the list was drawn up, he knew that Qin Ming and Sun Li would be disappointed and even dissatisfied, which was human nature.

Especially Qin Ming, as the first general to take refuge in Zhujiazhuang, he helped Zhulong through the most difficult period, and made a lot of contributions to Zhujiazhuang, and he was not missing in any battle!

This time he ambushed Hu Yanzhuo, it was he and Lu Zhishen who shook the heavy cavalry of the official army head-on, and played the role of a mainstay!

Now he has taken away his position as the main general, nothing else, he can't get over his old Qin's face!

Zhu Long couldn't chill the heart of this veteran general, he came up with an idea - he planned to introduce a military rank system!

Of course, now it's the Great Song Dynasty, and you can't use some bizarre terms to sensationalize the public, so that your own people and outsiders don't understand what it means, then it's not interesting!

So the rank of military attache is paddled", so that although everyone has different positions, the grades can be the same.

This is not an uncommon thing, in fact, the Great Song Dynasty has long implemented such a system, and the identity of each official is composed of "Jilu officials" and "ministry officials".

The "Jilu Officer" represents his rank, like the rank of a military attaché, which is used to determine the official's status, salary, and other benefits.

"Minister" represents the work content of the official, such as the prefect, and the full name is "Quanzhifu Affairs", which is of a temporary nature.

Take Gao Yu Gao Taiwei as an example, "Taiwei" represents his level, Zhengyipin, very powerful!

And the "commander of the palace in front of the palace" is the "minister", which is his job position.

Therefore, what is the military rank system, the advanced nature and superiority do not exist, and the ancients are ahead of the old! Zhu Long is relieved to use it boldly, and he doesn't have to worry about someone being surprised, just ask the ancients not to laugh at him for being uneducated!

In order not to be laughed at and uneducated, after careful consideration, he adopted a total of nine ranks, such as ensign, lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, and general, which corresponded to nine to one grade.

Although these are all military rank nouns in later generations, captains, colonels, and generals have existed since ancient times, such as captains and captains, even in the Great Song Dynasty, they don't sound awkward at all, and they are still very suitable for the times.

According to Zhu Long's idea, in principle, the squad is not evaluated for military ranks, the deputy team is a second lieutenant, the team is a lieutenant, the head is a captain, the battalion lieutenant is a major, the lieutenant is a lieutenant colonel, and the latter ones are not needed for the time being!

Of course, this is only a normal situation, and if this is the case, then there is no need for the rank system to exist.

The reason why the military rank system is needed is because of the mismatch between status and position.

At present, the highest military rank that can be conferred is lieutenant colonel, and the people to be conferred are Zhu Biao, Zhu Hu, Luan Tingyu, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Guan Sheng, Lu Zhishen, Sun Li, and other eight people.

Hu Yanzhuo, Wu Song, Yang Zhi, Hua Rong, Xu Ning and others and the former lieutenant generals of each battalion can be awarded majors.

Before Zhu Long officially announced the candidates for each army, he first released the news to the outside world to see everyone's reaction, he knew that someone would definitely come to him to react to his opinions, but he didn't expect that the first person to come to him was Zhu Hu.
