The night was thick, and the moonlight was hazy, as if through a layer of mist, and the cold moonlight was sprinkled. Even if the wind is howling, it can't blow people's joy.

After midnight is the New Year, and the observance is the most common!

The twenty-ninth day of the lunar month is the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, commonly known as "Little Chinese New Year's Eve", on this day, people visit back and forth called "other years", and burn incense outdoors, called "Tianxiang", or gather in groups, waiting for the end of the year.

The streets and alleys are lit up with lights, and people are laughing and jubilant. Especially to welcome the arrival of Chinese New Year's Eve, colorful salutes bloom in the night sky, in a thousand forms, some like silver snakes dancing wildly, some like peacocks opening the screen, and some like blooming flowers. They decorate the night sky with dazzling beauty.

Chaojiazhuang is illuminated by tens of millions of lanterns and is a city that never sleeps. Even as it approached midnight, the streets were more lively than not. The drama on the stage was even more exciting, and the cheers of counting the time continued.

In the brilliant fireworks that soared into the sky, the sound was drowned out, and Chinese New Year's Eve came. The elder or shopkeeper lights the brazier, a blazing flame that ignites the most exciting climax of the night. The night is shrouded in bright firelight, transforming into an auspicious and moving picture.

Chao Gai stood on the high platform of the attic, looking at the huge Chaojiazhuang shrouded in joy. Compared with last year, it is more lively, and it is inevitable to give birth to a sense of pride. He turned to look at the ladies who were fiddling with the dishes and chopsticks or holding the dumplings, and smiled. Even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you without being shocked, you have to carry it on your shoulders.

"Husband, don't stand stupidly, come and help!"

"It's coming, it smells so good! I'll see who has the best craft. ”

……

Chinese New Year's Eve!

The afterglow of last night's carnival is still there, and the flow of people has gradually increased since early in the morning. The people of the nearby villages, the wealthy families, seem to gather from all directions. The city is crowded with people, enjoying the lanterns, watching the big plays, and tasting the food......

Singers take out housekeeping skills, restaurants, restaurant dumplings, dumplings in the pot, hold lantern riddles, and juju games to come up with new prizes.

Chao Gai is also busy, rationalizing the arrangement. At noon, a banquet was held in the house to entertain Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye's family. In the evening, I spent time with my family and had free time.

The main thing is that he has to go to Liangshan for a banquet at night!

Overnight, in the barracks, a new notice was posted on the notice board at the street entrance, attracting soldiers and ordinary people to watch and discuss curiously.

"There has been a lot of change in the establishment of our army."

"But what's not it, division, brigade, what is this?"

"You didn't read the notes above, the new name of the army is quite convenient and easy to remember."

There are more and more crowds around the billboards, some people don't understand, some people don't understand, and some people are thoughtful and familiar with each other.

It's just that the notice board is a detailed military establishment.

Due to the large size of the army, it was adjusted for the convenience of management.

Imperial Decree: Five people and one army, with a military commander.

Two teams are a class, and a squad leader (even general) is set up

Five classes are a team with a team leader.

The two teams are one capital, and the capital is set up.

The five capitals are one battalion, and the battalion commander (commander) is set up.

The five battalions are a brigade with a brigade commander (Du Yuhou).

The 5th Brigade is a division with a division commander (commander)

The five divisions are a corps with a corps commander.

In addition to the change in the establishment, there is also a special note that officers at all levels have their own responsibilities, and squad leaders and captains take the lead in training soldiers. Battalion and brigade-level backbone officers organize large-scale actual combat, long-distance training, and so on.

The army is organized on a battalion basis. Battalion headquarters, brigades and divisions were set up, and brigade headquarters and division headquarters were also set up for officers to deliberate.

Deputy commander, clear position of brigade commander, several battalions under his command fixed, with the first, second... The 5th battalion is divided. In general, there will be no transfers. The division commander will not interfere in the brigade without necessity. The authority of the support battalion and brigade-level officers is also detached from the overall command of trivial matters.

Logistics, medical care, and reconnaissance are equipped to battalion-level units, and cooking classes are set up at the capital level. All these arms are coordinated within the various armies and adjusted step by step.

The battalion commander began to be a stalwart officer and a key object of protection. The battalion headquarters is designed to be a battalion directly subordinate team of 50 people, which is under the direct command of the battalion headquarters, and the battalion-level officers are equipped with two guards.

The brigade headquarters has set up a brigade of 300 people, and the military chief officer is equipped with a guard squad.

The division headquarters set up a battalion directly under it, equipped with a guard team.

The highest regiment is a brigade with guard battalions.

The establishment of each department directly under the department will be adjusted by the base camp according to the assessment of combat strength, that is to say, it will be changed and compressed from within each army, and there will be no expansion of one army and one soldier.

The guard unit is composed of swordsmanship masters and elite veterans trained by Sun Sheng, the dragon prince of Zhuyun, all of whom are the elite of the elite, with a thousand people in a legion.

The main purpose is to protect military commanders at all levels.

The other is that there are black snake guards who are in charge of supervision, or surveillance. Chao Gai is not narrow-minded, always guarding against others. It is really the size of the army that is getting bigger and bigger, and it is necessary to strengthen its control. Standing at his height, he realized that some things had to be done.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Pi forced Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty to abdicate and give way to Xian, three pushes and three concessions. finally sat on the throne and said, "I know about Shunyu"! Isn't that nonsense? The army is eyeing each other, and if they don't abdicate, they will die.

At present, the army has been reformed and the establishment of direct personnel and guard units has been added.

Chao Gai didn't intend to do this, believing in his own vision and the officers he trained, as well as the commanders of the various armies. However, Wu insisted on suggesting with them. Even Wen Huanzhang, who was far away on Jeju Island, was summoned back and mentioned it vaguely.

The three armies of the army, which are isolated overseas, are fully equipped with water, foot, and horse, and the army has insufficient supervision by law enforcement teams, so it is necessary to understand every move of the army at all times.

Chao Gai also knew this necessity, so he appropriated the later generation. It was only at this time that he suddenly became alert, as soon as our army had abnormal behavior, Yan'an quickly knew about it, and immediately sent people to arrest and defeat the reactionaries, why did they react so quickly? It has to be food for thought.

The world is as black as a crow, but it is not so noble.

Of course, whether it is the supreme military commander who does not interfere too much, or the establishment of a direct establishment and a guard unit is a kind of innovation in the army.

The new establishment was both unfamiliar and natural, as if it should be like this, which made the soldiers curious and discussed, and some even directly changed the name of the commander. More and more people find it catchy, easy to remember, and simple.

The brave veterans set their sights on the guards. The above selection requirements and standards are clear, and it is a huge temptation to go through layers of selection and then receive training in the base camp.

As long as you are selected, the odds of being promoted to an officer are greatly increased. More and more people are gearing up, and there is little rejection of changes in the army.

The commanders of the various armies were relieved to receive the written notice in their hands and adjust the plan. The problems of how to place the deputy commanders and which battalions to lead are easily solved. Responsibilities at all levels are clear to avoid confusion in team command.

As for the establishment of direct subordinates, the commanders of the various armies are very much in favor of it.

Guards, guard troops. There was no rebound that Chao Gai was worried about, and the commander already had a pro-soldier team, and some more masters couldn't ask for it. Brigade, battalion officers were elated. One is to feel Chao Gai's concern, and the other is to follow the bodyguards around him at all times, which is a matter of saving face.

Officers below the battalion commander secretly gritted their teeth, were promoted through military merit, and had guards.

The change of the army was finalized after consulting with several military advisors. The main purpose is to get rid of those messy military positions and strive to be simple and easy to remember.

The establishment of the armed forces has been set down, from low to high, and it is divided into eight levels, including corps, squads, teams, capitals, battalions, brigades, divisions, and armies.

At present, only corps, future corps, and group armies are not considered for the time being. As for the General Staff, the construction of the theater command cannot be rushed. We can only wait until the time is ripe to gradually implement the changes to avoid overdoing it.

As the saying goes, the meal should be eaten in one bite, and the road should be walked step by step.

According to the actual situation, the Chao family army system is approaching perfection.

And this adjustment is crucial, and the adaptation must be completed within three months. This is Chao Gai's repeated orders, and there is a big move before the arrival of midsummer.

The new year is of great significance to Chaojiazhuang, and there is a clear strategic deployment plan. Therefore, Chao Gai had already selected several teams of outstanding personal guard officers to go to several Dazhai to assist and replace the commander who was sitting in the town to return.

Except for Jeju Island, several people in Goryeo can't get out!

Following Mr. Jin Jian's Li Zhu, Tang Bin, Jing Mu and Hao Siwen were the first to return. Then Erlongshan Dazhai did not block Mu Hong, Xiao blocked Mu Chun, Maotou Star Kong Ming, and Candle Mars Kong Liang.

Dengyun Mountain Xiaozhai out of the forest Zou Yuan, the unicorn dragon Zou Run. The team of uncles and nephews returned in the middle of the night, and they all brought back a few truckloads of kudzu and wild fruits to slow down.

Drinking Machuan Dazhai Zhang Fei Du Po, cold-faced crazy gun guard crane, black tiger table mao three people came back in the sky, except for more affairs over there. He drove more than 100 horses and hundreds of fat cattle and sheep back.

Two copycat brothers, who came back for the New Year and brought back things.

King Kong Song Wan in the clouds is the happiest, but it is also rare to be atmospheric. The kudzu root and wild fruits were finely packaged, sent to the homes of the leaders, and led the cattle and sheep to pay New Year's greetings. After that, the cattle and sheep are sold or sent to the back kitchen to decide whether they want to do it.

This move made the upright black whirlwind Li Kui yelling iron rooster bloom. Splitting the mountain, the wrestlers, and other reckless men coaxed, and laughter shrouded the family compound.

……

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Chaofu is on holiday, but it is even more lively.

Guards and servants either celebrate the New Year at home or celebrate collectively.

Chao Gai also warmly entertained Zong Ze, Uncle Zhang's family, and at night the family had a reunion dinner or went to the city to enjoy the lanterns, all of which were voluntary.

This is also a humane consideration, even if you are enthusiastic, you can't compare to the warmth of your own home. Instructed the house to supply materials in place, the back kitchen is open, and there can be no slack.

Li Qingzhao, Li Shishi, and Li Qingwan really can't be tossed, although they really want to join in the fun. Chao Gai kept a straight face and disagreed.

In fact, Master Li and Sister Li Qingzhao don't know that the mountain roads are rugged at night and are not suitable for travel. I just want to see Chao Gai angry and concerned. Hearing about the various interests of the cold winter, it is natural that he will not be unreasonable.

Chao Gai invited Mrs. He, Mother Li's mother as a companion, and instructed the healthy woman and the tiger maiden. After these trivial matters were settled, the three ladies were carried with them. With Li Zhu, Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, and Guo Sheng, Yu Tai and others to escort him. With the invited team, they boarded the boat on the pier and quietly went to Liangshan.
