The scale of 3670 guards, Wuyi's army expanded greatly

(Thanks to the monthly ticket for ‘Lazy People 2006’, thanks to the evaluation ticket for ‘huangbiaoo’, brother Chen Qixiong for his consistent support, and thanks to all brothers who support me. Thanks

I had a headache today, and my pillow pain was sore. There are only six thousand words in this chapter, so please forgive me.)

Lin Yuan and others stayed in Xishenwei for three days, eating delicacies every day. How could they have lived such a life? They were all a little happy, but they had to leave after all, and after three days, they all left. Before leaving, Lian Zining gave each of them a gift and conveyed a signal of kindness to Lin Xiongqi through Lin Yuan.

There was also a memorial from Lian Zining when they set out.

Since he has been appointed as General Songhuajiang, and with such a large territory, what Lian Zining has to worry about is naturally different from before.

He is now the General of Songhua River. The fertile fields on the four grounds south of Songhua River are all his territory. Naturally, he cannot watch it so decay here. This situation must be solved. It is naturally impossible for Lian Zining to bear such a huge project by himself. The court cannot send troops, right? Okay, if you don’t let you send troops, you can pay money and people!

These things are naturally endless in a memorial. In fact, Lian Zining's memorial was just a memorial to invite the border general to enter Beijing. He is now a general of the border. According to the regulations of the state, he did not enter Beijing privately by the imperial edict, and he would be treated as a rebellion. Once the emperor approved the memorial, Lian Zining planned to go to Beijing immediately to operate the matter.

On September 1st, General Xishenwei was held in Beppu.

At the end of August, after a few autumn rains, the weather became more and more cool. As we entered the northeast of September, it made people feel like late autumn in the inner city.

The fallen leaves are falling, the grass is dry, and wild animals cannot be hidden in the bushes and grass nests.

As we watched, in a few days, we would enter the long winter in the Northeast.

The first meeting after the Wuyi Army expanded its army was also held as scheduled.

All officers with a deputy family of over 1,000 households will attend the meeting.

Liu Liangchen, an officer with a deputy of over a thousand households on Lian Zining, was still in the capital and was sent by Lian Zining to carry out various operations in the capital. This time, Lian Zining's memorial was able to be delivered to the capital. He went to the night and stayed at night and delivered the memorial in time, which was considered an indispensable contribution. However, Lian Zining is far away from the capital and has no one to operate the center, so it is not convenient after all, so he left Liu Liangchen there.

In addition to him, the other three major custodians, five thousand households, and fifteen deputy thousand households were listed. In addition to the commander Chen Dakang, the former Shenwu Right Guard, there were three thousand households, three deputy thousand households, and among the Beijing Guards, there were three thousand households and five deputy thousand households.

There were not so few senior officers, but the others were all killed in that fierce defense battle.

The officers sat down in sequence according to the level. Lian Zining's position was north and south, and there was a five-story stone platform below. At this time, the seats above were still empty.

The officers of the Shenwu Right Guard and the Jinggu were not in any way resistant to the incorporation into the Wuyi Army. For them, joining the Wuyi Army, a prosperous group, will undoubtedly be of great benefit to their promotion and future development. Take Chen Dakang for example. There are thousands of guards in the Ming Dynasty, and you, a mere commander, are considered an eggplant? However, in this battle of Xishenwei, his name was already the Shangda Zhongting, and he also added the title of the second-rank governor. After working like this for a few years, the Ministry of War will be evaluated. If you can get a high score, and then operate it, you can move forward.

And if you stay in the small place of Zhending Mansion, you are afraid that you will be slaughtering and waiting to die in this life.

The other officers can understand this clearly. To put it bluntly, they can only rely on a big tree to enjoy the cool air. If anyone tells them, the people who have gone out of the Wuyi Army, they will have to give a thumbs up! Follow Lian Zining, the booming star of the Ming Dynasty, and follow Wuyi Army, and get promoted and make a fortune!

Even the sequence of seats during meetings, they feel that they are used to it - isn't it like this many times before the meetings? It doesn't even require a psychological transformation process.

They are already used to doing things under Lian Zining's command.

Lian Zining turned from behind and went to the Shitai, and Eri Nona followed him in an endless step.

The officers stood up and fists together: "I have met the adults!"

Lian Zining smiled and pressed his hands down: "Sit down!"

He sat down, and Erinona stood in her seat with a sword in her arms, staring at the hall without blinking.

Lian Zining stood high above the head seat and slowly glanced at everyone in front of him. Now all the senior generals of the Wuyi Army have gathered here.

He cleared his throat, focused everyone's eyes on himself, and said slowly: "We have held meetings many times before, but this time it has special significance. This is the first meeting after our Wuyi Army expanded its army! Lao Chen and Sun Ji, you used to work under our official account, but that was the temporary commander. Now, you are all members of our Wuyi Army!"

"Before the Xishenwei battle, everyone worked sincerely and had no grudges. So I won't say much about nonsense about not having disputes, being humble to each other, and being in sacred friendship!"

Lian Zining smiled slightly: "Let's just talk about the serious matter!"

"This time we've attracted everyone, there are three major issues to discuss."

Everyone listened attentively, Lian Zining continued: "The first thing is to discuss the situation around us."

"Now, I have been savored by General Songhua River." Lian Zining smiled bitterly: "But this General Songhua River is a bit unworthy of its name! General Songhua River has such a large territory, which is a radius of thousands of miles. Now the only one in our hands is less than fifty miles around Xishenwei, less than the size of a county town! The ground of Xishenwei was occupied by the chaos, but the ground of Mushan was occupied by Jurchen rebels, and the land of Hulin, Han tyrants formed a village to defend themselves. To be honest, the emperor has already assigned a dead mission to me. Within a year, the ground of Songhua River must be cleaned up. So you all, after you go back, you are thinking about how to clarify this chaotic situation! Then everyone will write me a note and hand it over! Let me see if you have done your best!"

After saying this, many officers showed bitterness on their faces, but Lian Zining ignored this. If you want to be an officer of the Wuyi Army, you can't just be brave and good at fighting, and you have to use your brain!

"The second thing is the recent arrangement. I have submitted a memorandum. I have asked to go to Beijing to deal with some things. I may have to set out within a month. During this time when I left, you should train your soldiers well and just occupy our Xishenwei territory firmly, so as not to cause trouble. Do you understand?"

The officers said in unison: "I understand!"

"The third thing is also the most important thing right now."

"That's an adaptation!" Everyone was shocked when talking about this topic, and their backs were straightened up. They listened with great care. Some people were even more nervous and didn't know what their subordinates would deal with it. Will they swallow our troops and give us a free job? These are all issues that need to be considered.

"You should have seen that the old soldiers of our Wuyi Army have muskets, cannons, spears and halberds. The soldiers are divided into several types of troops, with extremely clear division of labor. What should be done will never be confused, and they are definitely different from other Daming Weishu."

Chen Dakang smiled and said, "You are right. The old soldiers of Wuyi Army are so well-known, and they have powerful weapons such as muskets and cannons. The combat power they exerted. When they first saw the price, they were so scared that they almost dropped their chin! They were also envious! They thought to themselves that if the soldiers under our command had such elite soldiers, it would be comfortable!"

What he said caused a burst of laughter, and many officers who originally belonged to the Shenwu Right Guard and Jingwei sequence also agreed.

Lian Zining laughed: "Old Chen, what you said is really good. This is what I think in my heart! Since I have joined the Wuyi Army, they are all brothers under my command. Treat them equally. Your original soldiers will also re-divided their troops, spearmen, halberds, musketeers, artillerymen, and see which one is more suitable and then pass them."

He looked at everyone and continued, "I have counted it before. Now we have more than 14,000 soldiers left. The original Wuyi Army belongs to 6,000, the original Wuyi Army belongs to 1,66, and the original Jingwei Guard belongs to nearly 7,000. Now you should also know the organization of our Wuyi Army. One thousand households owned thirteen hundred households, plus the personal soldiers of each thousand households, there must be about 1,800 people. One thousand households, one thousand households, and three thousand households, one thousand households, and three thousand households.

The four men commanded four armies, namely muskets, artillery, spears, and halberds. After the last battle, the facts proved that such a fighting method was very effective. Therefore, the officer also planned to continue to implement this military organization. However, the number of artillery 100 households increased to two, one of the Fran Machine Cannon Households and one of the Tiger Squat Cannon Households. In addition, the officer will appropriately reduce the scale of the number of deputy 1,000 households, so that the force of each 1,700 households will be kept at about 1,700 people."

"I have decided that all the soldiers of the Wuyi Army, Shenwu Right Guard and Jingwei will be broken up in small flags and mixed into eight thousand houses. Each thousand house is still a thirteen hundred houses. The entire adaptation process must ensure that each general flag has at least two small flags of the original Wuyi Army's veteran soldiers, and each hundred houses has more than forty old soldiers in the Central Plains Wuyi Army. In this way, these experienced veteran soldiers can fully play a driving role and greatly enhance the overall combat effectiveness."

"The court gave us ten guards, and now we can't fill it, so I decided to temporarily form two guards, each with more than 6,800 people."

Lian Zining raised his face, pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and said solemnly: "The officer's appointment is read out below! Everyone stands up!"

All the officers stood up suddenly, their bodies straight, but their hearts were full of enthusiasm and expectation. They didn't know where they could get to sit this time.

"In order to streamline the organization and improve efficiency, there is no commander or commander, nor is there a commander or a magistrate. There is no position such as experience, ambassador of the Cang, and all logistics, military discipline, weapons supply and other matters are all managed by the four major magistrates of the Wuyi Army."

Such a setting firmly pinched the lifelines of the thousand-household offices and the logistics supply of each guard, which can concentrate all power in Lian Zining's hands, while ensuring that the commander's decisions are not restricted.

"The commander of the first guard of Wuyi Army, Xiong Tingbi!"

"The commander of the Second Guard of Wuyi Army, Chen Dakang!"

"The first thousand households of the first guard of the Wuyi Army, thousands of households, Dong Ce! The deputy thousand households..."

"The first guard of the Wuyi Army has 2,000 households, thousands of households, Sun Ji, and thousands of households..."

"The third thousand households of the first guard of the Wuyi Army, thousands of households, Du Binglin, and the deputy thousand households..."

"The fourth thousand households of the first guard of the Wuyi Army, thousands of households, Zhang Zitao, and the deputy thousand households..."

...

"The first thousand households of the second guard of Wuyi Army, thousands of households, Zhang E, and the deputy thousand households..."

"The second thousand households of the second guard of Wuyi Army, thousands of households, Yang Zhou, and thousands of households..."

"The third thousand households of the second guard of Wuyi Army, thousands of households, Fan Huaiyi, and thousands of households..."

"The fourth thousand households of the second guard of Wuyi Army, thousands of households, Zhao Wenyao, and the deputy thousand households..."

Soon, the appointments of the two commanders, eight thousand households and twenty-four deputy thousand households were read out, and the result was that everyone was happy. Xiong Tingbi was promoted to the commander of the first guard, and everyone had no objection. After all, Xiong Tingbi was quite calm and experienced in the entire Xishen Guard defense battle, and everyone here believed that he was not as good as others. It was not surprising that Chen Dakang was the commander of the second guard. After all, he was the commander of the guard before and made great contributions. He could not be downgraded, right?

The other officers were basically still in their original positions and rarely changed. They were either from thousands of households or thousands of households before, and from the deputy thousand households before. Moreover, Lian Zining did treat them equally. He did not give them a free position just because the officers of the Shenwu Right Guard and the Jing Guard were merged, but actually gave them the power to command the army.

In addition to Sun Ji, Zhang E, Zhang Zitao, other Dong Ce, Du Binglin, Yang Zhou, Fan Huaiyi, and Zhao Wenyao were all Qianhu and deputy Qianhu officers of the Wuyi Army. They performed well in this war and were promoted here. Xiong Tingbi had people from the former Jingwei and Shenwu Right Guard, and Chen Dakang had officers from the former Wuyi Army. This formed a pattern of having you and me and I have you, which could enable Lian Zining to control the overall situation of the Wuyi Army to the greatest extent.

Lian Zining said again: "That's how to calculate, after the army is reorganized, there will be a thousand people left. These people are ready to set up a thousand-household artillery office, which belongs to the personal guard camp. The thousand-household artillery office is tentatively set, and you can take on the big pillar first!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Yang Husheng!"

Yang Husheng quickly stood up and his feet together: "It's manifested!"

Lian Zining smiled at Yang Husheng and said, "You have brought the reinforcements to Fuyu Guard this time and have made great contributions. The remaining cavalrymen in the Beijing Guard have almost 400 or 500, and they are all under your command, so that your cavalry office deserves its name. You, the deputy thousand households, will be promoted to you by one level, just be a thousand households! In addition, you recommend two deputy thousand households to come up to help!"

Yang Husheng was overjoyed and quickly said, "As for the order, I will thank you for the promotion!"

Lian Zining laughed: "This is what you deserve."

He turned his eyes to Shi Dazhu sitting on the side, Wang Dachun and Xie Deqing, and sighed: "You guys, and Liu Liangchen, who are now in the capital, have no soldiers, but their contributions are worthy! I will not treat you badly. You four major politeers, and I will give you a note to the court, and no matter how you have to earn a fourth-rank future for you!"

The fourth rank of the official, this is the level of the deputy commander of the guard commander. It is already a thousand households with a fifth rank, second only to the two third-rank guard commanders. The three of them were naturally very happy and thanked them one after another.

After that, I said some gossip, and the first meeting after Wu Yi's army expanded was over.

Starting from September 2, the work of breaking up and reorganizing the Wuyi Army, Shenwu Right Guard and Jinggu’s soldiers with small flags was officially begun.

The expansion of the army is different from the simple number reorganization. This is a very troublesome and protracted process. The reorganization work lasted for more than half a month before it was initially completed.

The reason why it is initially completed is that the new organization and new framework have been built, but the combat effectiveness has not yet been formed.

The fundamental reason why combat effectiveness has not been formed is that there are no weapons.

There are eight thousand households, each thousand households, three hundred households, two hundred households, two hundred iron cannons, seven hundred spears, and two hundred halberds, which means a total of two thousand six hundred and eighty-eight flintlock guns, six thousand two hundred and seventy-two spears, two five-foot-three-inch long spears, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-two Swiss halberds, and hundreds of tiger squat cannons and Folang machine cannons.

And the weapons in the Wuyi Army are still the remaining possessions before, and the gap in each weapon is very large.

These things cannot be produced outside the pass. Not to mention the spears and Swiss halberds, which require quite high casting skills, even the flintlock rifles, tiger squat cannons, and the firearms that the military bureaus are producing every day have now been discontinued - the reason is very simple, there is no raw material.

The development outside the pass is quite backward, and basically the focus is only on agriculture. Commerce is slowly starting, but there is basically no mining and metal smelting industry, although the metal mineral resources here can be said to be one of the richest places in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Especially the northernmost line of the border where Xishenwei is located, there is not even an iron ore copper mine. The iron and copper materials brought by Gonzalez and others have been used up. It is hard for a skilled woman to cook without rice, so she can only make a fuss.

Lian Zining felt helpless about this, because according to his memory, Xishenwei, a node located at the intersection of the Songhua River and the Ussuri River, had a great name in later generations - Khabarovsk, an important city in the Far East of the Soviet Union.

And here, the area around 100 miles nearby, with Khabarovsk as neutral, is the richest and most beautiful place in the entire Far East in later generations.

There are countless mineral resources, including coal, iron, copper, manganese, tin, gold and diamonds, and oil. The proven iron ore reserves in the Far East are 4.4 billion tons, accounting for 40% here. More than 10,000 tons of gold are buried underground. There are 350 sand gold mines and mountain gold mines distributed in this small area. The annual output of more than 10 tons of gold is now nearly 300,000 taels.

This is also the most important tin concentrate mineral source in the Soviet Union. Its output accounts for 35% of the total output in Russia. The copper mining volume is also considerable. There are more than 50 copper ores with reserves of more than 20 million tons. Moreover, the ores here are polymetallic. In addition to the main ore, the ores also contain copper, zinc, lead, bismuth, silver, cadmium, gold, indium and other non-ferrous metals and rare metals. The proportion of mineral waste stones for mining is extremely low. The tin extraction rate is 70-90%, and the copper extraction rate is 75%. There is also manganese required for steelmaking, and the reserves are huge, reaching 6.4 million tons.
