And the current Cao Cao is still the capable minister who rules the world, and he is absolutely loyal to the Han family: he is not the hero of the troubled times in later generations. Cao Cao is now in Yanmen Pass, and Cao Cao is nominally here to support him, but Long Yao knows that Cao Cao is the eyeliner sent by Spirit Emperor Liu Hong, and secretly monitors his every move. Cao Cao was very valued and trusted by the Spirit Emperor because of the five-color stick.

The reason why Long Yao had to recruit so many soldiers was because Long Yao knew that when Nurhachi came to attack again, he might dispatch more troops than the last time Qiangqu was dispatched, and the combat power would be stronger. When the time comes, it will be a big uphill battle.

This time, Long Yao not only had to repel Nurhachi's attack, but also to recover and conquer the five counties of Shangjun, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and Shuofang, although these five counties are sparsely populated and may have a total population of about 100,000, but these five counties cover a large area, and the land is very fertile, which is very suitable for farming.

Long Yao still remembered clearly that the system had balanced Kangxi, Yongzhou, and Qianlong, the three politically capable cattle people, to Nurhachi, and if they were given enough time to develop, Long Yao estimated that even if he sent out 200,000 troops, he would not be able to recover the five counties occupied by foreign races. So this time, even if Long Yao exhausted all the troops, he would have to recover these five counties. Only after recovering these five counties and fully controlling the state can they use the million-population summoning card that the system awarded to Long Yao.

……

Just when Long Yao was busy with the expansion of the army, Long Hao, who was far away in Nanchang, Yuzhang County, Yangzhou, was also gathering his subordinates for ceremonies.

In the ceremonial hall of the Nanchang Thorn History Mansion, Long Hao sat on the main seat, the first one sitting in the left column was Yuzhang County Cheng Guan Zhong, and the next sitting was Fan Zeng of Yuzhang Army, Shi Yiyin, Yuzhang Changshi, and Fan Jian, the chief of Yuzhang.

The first sitting in the right column is Xu Da, the lieutenant of Yuzhang County, and the following are sitting: Qi Jiguang, Jiang Song, Li Cunxiao, Gan Ning, Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, Li Keyong, Li Siyuan, Li Cunxuan, Li Cunxian, Shi Jingsi, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Xu Sheng, Xu Ning, Zhao Fan, Zhang Jiucheng, Zhang Xingzu, Luo Yi, Luo Cheng, Li Sizhao, Li Cunxin, Li Cunjin, Li Siben, Li Sien, Li Cunzhang, Li Cunxian, Kang Junli, Li Jun, Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Tong Wei, Tong Meng.

I have to say that there are really a lot of middle-level generals under Long Hao's command, and the high-level generals are barely okay; The literati side is really miserable, there are only four civil servants in total......

After everyone finished discussing government affairs, Long Hao opened his mouth and said to Xu Da: "General Tiande, how is the situation of our army's strength now. ”

Xu Da heard Long Hao's question, so he hurriedly replied respectfully: "Returning to the lord, now my Yuzhang army is divided into two parts. First, the county garrison, with a total of 25,000 people, including 5,000 in Nanchang County and 1,000 in the remaining 20 counties;

Second, there are three types of troops that can be mobilized at any time. They are infantry units, with a total of 10,000 men; There are a total of 11,000 sailors in the navy division, including 3,000 Qijia troops, 800 Jinfan troops, and 7,200 ordinary sailors; Cavalry troops, a total of 3,000 Flying Tiger troops. In addition, with the addition of the 1,000 personal guards led by General Jiang Song, the lord's personal guard general, and the special force Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, the total strength of the total army is 50,018 troops. ”

"Well, yes, Tiande did a good job, but you all know my ambitions, so these troops are far from enough, now I will replan the positions of the generals, and arrange the soldiers and horses of the generals to command, of course, only a part of the existing soldiers and horses, and the remaining insufficient soldiers and horses will be recruited by the generals themselves in Yuzhang County." After listening to Xu Da's words, Long Hao said again.

"First: In addition to the water division troops and the personal guard troops of Ben Taishou, the remaining cavalry troops, infantry troops, county garrisons and other soldiers and horses are all controlled and controlled by Captain Xu Da.

Second: Yanyun's eighteen cavalry was assigned to General Jiang Song and became the personal guard of Ben Taishou.

Third: The cavalry unit of our army - 3000 Flying Tiger Army was commanded by General Li Cunxiao.

Fourth: All the sailors of our army are controlled and dispatched by Qi Jiguang, the governor of the navy, and the 3,000 Qi family army and the 800 Jinfan army are merged, and after the merger, the most elite 3,000 people are selected to form a new elite army of the navy, which is named the Sea Dragon Army, which is led by Gan Ning, the deputy governor of the navy. The ordinary naval division was expanded to 10,000 people, and ten generals, including Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Li Jun, Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Tong Wei and Tong Meng, each commanded a 1,000-man naval division, and the total strength of the naval division was tentatively set at 13,000 people.

Fifth: Our army's infantry unit: First of all, select 3,000 of the most elite soldiers from all the infantry to form an elite unit - the Golden Gun Battalion, and the size of the Golden Gun Battalion is 3,000 people. The Golden Gun Battalion was led by General Xu Ning and General Xu Sheng as the deputy general.

Secondly, the infantry unit was expanded to 30,000 men, and these 30,000 men were divided into six large battalions, each with a capacity of 5,000 men.

The first battalion appointed General Chang Yuchun as the main general, and appointed two generals Li Sizhao and Zhao Fan as deputy generals;

The second battalion appointed General Li Cunshen as the main general, and appointed two generals, Zhang Jiucheng and Zhang Xingzu, as deputy generals;

The third battalion appointed General Lan Yu as the main general, and appointed two generals, Luo Yi and Luo Cheng, as deputy generals;

The Fourth Battalion appointed General Li Keyong as the main general, and appointed four generals Li Cunxin, Li Cunjin, Li Siben, and Li Sien as deputy generals;

The Fifth Battalion appointed General Li Siyuan as the main general, and appointed Li Cunzhang, Li Cunxian, and Shi Jingsi as adjutant generals;

The Sixth Battalion appointed General Li Cunqiao as the chief general, and appointed two generals, Kang Junli and Chang Mao, as deputy generals.

After this expansion, all the troops of Yuzhang County add up to 50,000 troops that can be mobilized at any time, and 25,000 troops are stationed in each county, making a total of 75,000 troops. After the generals went down, they recruited all the troops I commanded, intensified their training, and the days of peace were short. ”

"No." After Long Hao's order was issued, all the generals under Long Hao's command agreed loudly together.

"Okay, that's it for today's meeting, you guys go down and go about your own business first." Long Hao said lightly.

"No, the last general (subordinate) will retire." After everyone clasped their fists and saluted, they retreated together.

After everyone retreated, Long Yao went to the courtyard where Ye Qingmei lived.

"Xiao Hao, why do you have time to come to my sister's place today." Ye Qingmei said happily when she saw Long Hao coming.

"Sister Mei, I just discussed with the generals under my command and prepared to expand the army. But I'm short of money right now, hehe. Long Hao smiled at Ye Qingmei.

"I have a way, the richest people in the world are the lowest businessmen in society, Shinong Industry and Commerce, although the social class of businessmen is the lowest, but they are also the richest group of people. Brother Hao, you can win them over and improve their status appropriately, I believe they will definitely be willing to contribute to help you. Ye Qingmei thought for a while and said.
