It is far from enough to establish a reserve army from the perspective of the system, because the current reserve army is just an empty shelf and lacks everything.

Under Gao Yigong's arguments, Li Zicheng nodded and gave Gao Yigong 150 sabers, 60 spears, and 13 pairs of armor.

The army is not rich, the expansion of military strength is accompanied by the shortage of various materials, and the army itself has no production capacity, almost all rely on capture, since the jump into Henan, it has not fought with the Ming army, naturally not to talk about capture, plus the wear and tear on the road lost, these things are very short.

The purpose of the reserve army at the beginning of its establishment was to be cannon fodder troops, and Li Zicheng naturally would not be willing to take out a small amount of equipment to arm them.

Gao Yigong looked at these weapons and armor that were not many in number and of worrying quality, and he was also annoyed, and complained to Li Yan: "This idea of a weapon, don't say that it is 1,200 people, even 200 people can't practice it!" ”

Li Yan was also speechless, picked up a rusty Yanling knife from the ground, and waved it twice in the air......

However, he was in charge of the rear battalion, and he knew the current situation of the army, so he could only pat Gao Yigong's shoulder and say: "Now our army is short of everything, don't say it's us, even if it's the old eighth team of the front battalion, we can only endure it for the time being, not to mention that at least the armor is still in the past." ”

Li Zicheng gave Gao Yigong thirteen sets of cotton armor, although it was also worn, but it was a genuine full set of border army cotton armor, and the iron pieces inlaid in it were neatly arranged, and it was a useful thing at a glance.

"At the beginning, Nurhachi started with thirteen sets of armor, how can we be worse than the old slaves?" Li Yan opened his mouth to comfort Gao Yigong, who looked aggrieved.

Nurhachi's name, Gao Yigong still knows it, after all, Salhu was a ruthless character in Liaodong, and Rao was in the border area of Shaanxi, and they had also heard of the name.

Seeing Li Yan say this, Gao Yigong cheered up a little, turned his head to look at Li Yan and asked, "Then what should we do next?" ”

"If you have armor and weapons, you will naturally have to select soldiers and generals" Li Yan thought about it and said, in fact, compared to armor and weapons, the selection of soldiers and generals is the most important, if the soldiers are selected, the weapons can almost be beaten, if the choice is not good, no matter how good the weapons are, they will be crushed, the Ming army is a typical example.

"Then, I'm going to recruit soldiers, how about you go to the point?" Gao Yigong thought about it and said, Li Yan's vision is good, let him choose the right general, and Gao Yigong has a high military value, and he has a lot of connections in the back camp, and he is good friends with Li Jin, so it is most suitable for him to select troops.

"Okay." Li Yan also has this intention, the generals of the army are very cautious, and this has a bearing on the organization, command, and implementation of an army, so he naturally has to choose people who can be used.

"Oh, by the way, let's throw this person into the reserve army first" Gao Yigong suddenly remembered something, and said.

"Who?"

"Hao Yongzhong, come in!" Gao Yigong shouted at the outside of the military tent.

A man with a big waist and a round waist, like a fierce flying in a picture book, walked in, wearing armor, a long knife hanging from his waist, and a few hideous scars on his face.

"This is my personal soldier, Hao Yongzhong, who served as a standard-bearer in the rear camp before, and ascended first in every battle, how brave he is, this time I wasted a lot of effort to come from Li Guan's team, and how about being a pioneer officer in the army first?" Gao Yigong introduced to Li Yan.

"I, Hao Yongzhong, I've seen the management team, I've seen the Guanjun," Hao Yongzhong said loudly.

"Hao Yongzhong." Li Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, Hao Yongzhong is still somewhat famous in history, he also has another name called "Hao Shaoqi", in the early stage of the mobile battle in the camp until Jianshun, his reputation was not obvious, until the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and the loyal battalion was established, his deeds did not come out.

In the process of resisting the Qing Dynasty in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Hao Shaoqi was a strong general, but this person's behavior was very problematic, not to mention the poor military discipline, and there was once a stain of betrayal of the loyal battalion.

However, no matter what, this person who can leave his name in history must not be an idle person, and now that it is the time to employ people, Li Yan will definitely not abandon it because of some "stains" in his history.

So Li Yan nodded and said, "This person is very powerful, he can be used, Hao Yongzhong, what do you want?" ”

"Just want a fight! Even if I am a captain, I admit it! Hao Yongzhong thought about it and said, after staying in the back camp for a long time without fighting, it is quite uncomfortable, as a martial artist, war is an exam, and a martial artist without war will be ridiculed like a student who does not take the college entrance examination.

"Isn't it condescending to be a captain? Let's be a sentry chief, if you make a meritorious career and then be promoted, how about it? With a wave of his hand, Li Yan promised the position of sentry chief.

The sentry commander here is always different from the permanent outpost of the Chuang army, because of the long-term joint operation and mobile operations, Li Zicheng's army establishment is very chaotic, the old eighth team has its own set of establishment, but the other army establishments are mixed, and the current Chuang army does not have such idle effort to integrate the military system.

Not to mention anything else, there are no less than twenty establishments and titles in their army, and the chaos and disorder in the middle of it are simply outrageous.

And Li Yan naturally didn't bother to adopt the establishment of the old Eighth Team, now there are 1,200 people, and there is no need for such a large and complicated establishment, plus the reserve army is originally a reserve team, so there is no need to put such a large establishment.

Therefore, Li Yan simply split the 1,200 people into six posts, each post has one sentry commander and 200 people, and four team officers under the sentry, each team has jurisdiction over 50 people, and the team is ten people long, and ten people are five people long.

Therefore, Hao Yongzhong, the sentry commander, is enough to manage 200 people, of course, it is still 200 people on paper, and it can only be implemented when Gao Yigong recruits the soldiers.

"Subordinates take orders!" This is an unexpected joy, I didn't expect Li Yan to value himself so much, which made Hao Yongzhong, who was still a little apprehensive, overjoyed, and immediately hugged his fists and responded.

"Zhang Hong is not bad" Li Yan suddenly remembered that Zhang Hong, who had been following him during this time, could read and write, had a good impression of himself, and could not be a master with a little polishing.

"What? You're a sour showman, and you're still paying attention to King Chuang? Gao Yigong teased Li Yan: "If Zhang Hong follows King Chuang, the future is unlimited, and if he follows our rabble, won't he ruin the future of others?" I think that Zhang Hong is also unwilling. ”

"How do you know if you don't try?" Li Yan opened his mouth and asked: "I understand this person, he is a talent, if he can use it, he must be a right-hand man." ”

"Zhong, I'll help you ask, but my ugly words are ahead, even if he Zhang Hong is willing, he has to nod his head, so you don't have too much hope" Gao Yigong thought about it and said, since Li Yan strongly recommended it, then he still went to help Li Yan ask for it, as for whether it will be successful, it is another matter.

"Lao Gao, you have been in the back camp for a long time, are there any people who can be used in the back camp? Is it really okay to be cheeky and go to the Li Guan team to ask for some? Li Yan saw that Gao Yi's function was so large, and he immediately opened his mouth to encourage him.

Gao Yigong also had this intention when he heard this, touched his chin and thought about it carefully, and said before he spoke: "Huang Jun, the pro-soldier of the Li management team, has some ability, and he also has a little friendship with me, and then there is it, it is Li Laiheng, the righteous son of the Li management team, that kid is very capable, although he is not very old, but he is quite good at kung fu immediately, even if Zhao Zilong is alive, it is nothing more than that." ”

Li Yan didn't know who Huang Jun was, but Li Laiheng knew it, as the third person in charge of the camp, Li Laiheng's body could be described as tragic.

When he was ordered to defeat the army, he was ordered to be in danger, and when Li Jin died of illness, Gao Yigong died in battle, the Southern Ming Dynasty was in decline, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was powerful, he was ordered to resist the Qing Dynasty with his subordinates.

This resistance is nearly 20 years, he led the Kuidong Thirteen Families, many times defeated the Qing army's encirclement and suppression, in the mountains to compose the backbone of the Han people, even the Ming Dynasty literati who hated the camp had to sigh: "The world is surrendered but not surrendered." ”

Of course, as a role like an adopted son who suddenly took over, Li Laiheng did not have so much time to exercise his military ability and not so much time to exercise his management level, which also led to his always inferior to Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong at the same time, but one thing that should not be ignored is that Li Laiheng is fighting in the face of adversity, and he must have extraordinary military talent.

Even in the face of Li Guoying's encirclement and suppression in the end, Li Laiheng fought to the death, and the Qing army suffered heavy casualties, so that there was such a fearful word as "going up to Maolu Mountain again", and Li Laiheng finally set himself on fire with his family, which can be regarded as loyalty, filial piety and righteousness.

With such a character, it is impossible for Li Yan not to be moved, just kidding, if Li Laiheng can really be included in the account and trained well, what level of general can he raise in the future, that is, Li Yan is young and too late to start, otherwise he will have to recognize Li Laiheng as a righteous son.

"Look, can these two come over?" Li Yan asked tentatively about Gao Yigong.

"What are you kidding?" Gao Yigong glared at Li Yan and said: "These are the treasures of the Li management team, if I go to him to ask for it, if I don't get beaten out of the military stick, it will be regarded as the face of the Li management team!" ”

"It's not good to say that" Li Yan shook his head and explained to Gao Yigong: "We are not in the front camp now, and we are also the people in the back camp, to put it bluntly, we are still the generals under Li Guan's team, aren't these people equivalent to being in the back camp even if they are for us?" ”

"Besides, staying in the back camp and not being able to fight, isn't it in vain that you miss the future of these people? We have a war (cannon fodder brigade), don't Li Guan team want to exercise? Li Yan instigated.

Gao Yigong almost wanted to roll his eyes, there was a fight? This is really shameless, is it a war or cannon fodder, don't you have a little pressure in your heart? He couldn't understand that Li Jin was pumping his head too much, so he would throw these people to the reserve army to be cannon fodder.

However, he couldn't stand Li Yan's thick skin, and under the death of begging for nothing, Gao Yigong could only go to Li Jin to ask for someone.

It is also Li Jin's bad luck, in the whole army, he is the most honest, if he is as irritable as Liu Zongmin, he will not dare to ask for someone if he gives Gao Yigong ten courages, but he is a well-known honest man in the army, he does not fight or grab, he is tolerant to his subordinates, generous to his colleagues, if he reads a few more classics, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a saint.

It's a pity that such a character is the character that is destined to be woolen, Li Yan also recognized this, and was ready to spread his fists and feet to kill Li Jin's wool, honest man, isn't it just to bully?

Sending away the anxious Gao Yigong, Li Yan hit Wang Jinbao again.

Wang Jinbao is considered his cronies, and he is good when he is young, he has a strong understanding and learns things quickly, just like a blank piece of paper, let Li Yan paint on it at will, it has only been a few months, Wang Jinbao has been very different, not only has his temperament changed, but he has a feeling of a young general with a Yanling knife on his shoulder.

It's a pity that he is too young, and he can't use it now, so Li Yan called Wang Jinbao over and said to him: "You are still young, I can't use you this time, what do you think?" ”

"There are no subordinates!" Wang Jinbao clenched his fists and said, of course, it was difficult to hide the disappointment in his eyes, although he was disappointed, he was not an unreasonable person.

"It's good if you don't have it, there's an errand for you to do." Li Yan said.

"What errand?"

"Go to the front camp to investigate, if there is a character with strong ability but not much reused, report back to me immediately after you find out." Li Yan gave the order.

"Yes!"
