Chapter 282: The Fifth Adaptation of the Jinzhou Army
The remaining 1,200 people each took 500 and charged it to the two left and right battalions of the infantry. In this way, plus those more than 500 captive soldiers and more than 100 Changping veterans, the two battalions of the left and right infantry were barely able to stand up.
Wang Tiande's 360 men were also incorporated into the left battalion of the infantry. As a result, the strength of the two battalions of infantry once again reached 2,000. Since the battalion officer of the left battalion, Shao Wu, moved troops to Jinzhou, the battalion officer was temporarily replaced by General Song Qing.
During the dynasty, Li Dashan still served as the battalion officer of Youying.
Qi Sanbao had 500 men in Shahe anyway. After the battle at Xiaoguantun, only 240 men were left. During the reorganization of Shahe, his 500 men were reorganized into a logistics supply camp. This time, his troops were still the supply camp, and the rest were
The 200 old and weak Sichuan soldiers were also transferred to him.
Cao Bianjiao's wolf cavalry army has not been expanded because the current manpower gap is too large and there are too few sergeants skilled in equestrian skills. Most of the original Changping soldiers who could serve as wolf cavalry troops were killed in battle, leaving more than a hundred people to serve as the wolf cavalry army.
Team Sentinel, so Shi Dayong currently does not have the soldiers to expand the Wolf Cavalry.
Jiang Wanli's Qingqi was basically wiped out after the battle at Xiaoguantun, and there was no need to form one anymore. However, Shi Dayong organized another 50-man reconnaissance team. The candidate for the team officer turned out to be Peng Dachui, who was a horse thief. In addition to his 18 horse thieves,
Brother, the other 32 people were recruited by Shi Dayong from his own soldiers and the original Qingqi battalion.[
When marching outside, the reconnaissance cavalry is like the eyes and ears. How can a person lose his eyes? If he loses his eyes, his eyes will be black, and the enemy will not know if he touches them.
Regarding the appointment of the scout cavalry officer, Peng Dachui immediately accepted the order. It can be seen that he and his gang of horse thieves have become more and more accustomed to the Jinzhou Army.
Just like when Shahe was reorganized, the left battalion of the infantry was all equipped with firearms, but this time it was different. Shi Dayong brought in all the captured soldiers and Wang Qi's subordinates, as well as those who were qualified in gunfire training among the thousands of Sichuan soldiers.
In other words, the Infantry Zuoying was already proficient in the use of firecrackers compared to Shahe.
The right battalion of the infantry uses cold weapons, mainly spears, axes and shields, which are mainly used in conjunction with the left battalion of the infantry during war.
As for the candidates for the battalion officers of the personal barracks, Shi Dayong appointed Jiang Wanli. The camp was divided into four teams, each with 200 people. The team officers were Guo Cheng, the battalion officer of the Chongqing Battalion, Li Gu, a veteran of Songshan Battalion, and Chengdu Battalion.
One of them was Wang Fei, the battalion officer, and the other was Lin Junyi, a young man from Changping who did not want money when he swore to fight in Jinzhou to aid the Daling River.
Shi Dayong admires the young man Lin Junyi very much. In all previous battles, this young man has always been at the forefront. Although he is a little immature, in some aspects he appears to be experienced and incompatible with his actual age. Therefore, he is considering four teams.
During the official selection process, Shi Dayong selected him.
Except for the personal barracks, the appointments of officers of each battalion were delegated to battalion officers by Shi Dayong. Except for the left battalion of the infantry, which temporarily promoted General Song Qing to take over because of Shao Wu's absence, and Shi Dayong intervened a little, the right battalion of the infantry and the baggage
The officers of the battalion appointed him without any interference.
Shi Dayong put a lot of effort into the weapons configuration of the eight hundred Sichuan soldiers in the Guards Camp. The weapons he assigned to the Guocheng team were the new rebel firearms seized from Shahe, while the weapons assigned to Li Gu's team were from Beijing.
The battalion obtained fire blunderbuss made by the Ministry of Industry. Wang Fei's soldiers were equipped with ten eagle blunderbuss (large pole blunderbuss) and 160 fire blunderbuss used by the original Jinzhou Army. Lin Junyi's soldiers were all equipped with long swords.
Cotton armor is provided by the infantry barracks and the infantry right battalion. The infantry left battalion has no armor except for the officers. The baggage battalion does not bear the main battle most of the time, so it is not equipped with armor. The wolf cavalry army has their own heavy armor, so naturally
No need either.
There are still many weapons that have not been used. There are still more than 600 spears and 800 muskets that have not been used. In addition, the four cannons that were surrendered for display have not been used. These ordnance supplies are all provided by the baggage.
The battalion is responsible.
The Jinzhou Army now has a total of more than 700 war horses. In addition to more than 200 horses for wolf cavalry and reconnaissance cavalry, Shi Dayong has assigned horses to the officers of each battalion. In addition, there are dozens of Lin Junyi's soldiers who can ride horses.
Shi Dayong also equipped them with horses to protect themselves.
This reorganization is the fifth time that Shi Dayong has reorganized his men. The first time was in Songshan, when the Wuyong Second Battalion was organized, and was finally crippled outside Dalinghe City. The second reorganization was in Jinzhou.
During the reinforcements, the main purpose of that time was to reorganize 3,000 Changping disciples who had defected to themselves. Then they went to the battlefield without even training. Although they were not disabled, the main Songshan Army suffered heavy losses. The third time was in
During the Jinzhou Defense War, he reorganized his direct troops and the rest of the Ming army in the city. When the Jin army attacked the city, all battalions suffered heavy losses. Many Songshan veterans died in battle at the top of Jinzhou City. The fourth time was
The recent Shahe reorganization was the only time that Shi Dayong reorganized his troops without any casualties. Unfortunately, the subsequent Xiaoguantun battle once again caused the Jinzhou Army to suffer heavy losses.
This is the fifth reorganization, and with each reorganization, there are fewer and fewer familiar faces. It is impossible to say that Shi Dayong does not feel sad.
However, the war still has to be fought, and this road still has to go on. Either the world will be peaceful and the barbarians will surrender, or the army will be destroyed and people will be destroyed. It is impossible to convert the two. They are either right or wrong.
Black is white. In Shi Dayong's dictionary, there is no such thing as a golden mean, let alone a curve. What he wants is a result.
All reorganizations were carried out by Shi Dayong according to the time and convenience. The military system was only for the convenience of command and did not follow the military system of the Liao Army. The same was true for the appointment and dismissal of officers. It can be said that Shi Dayong himself created all the reorganizations.
It's just a straw opera, but it won't make it to the stage.
After four days of busy work, each battalion was basically reorganized and the officers were appointed one by one.
The proportion of officers is interesting. Officers from the old Songshan camp accounted for less than 30%, while officers from Changping soldiers accounted for 40%, surpassing the Songshan old army for the first time. Officers from the Sichuan army also accounted for 20%, leaving 10%.
Cheng Ze was a rebel from Yuan Chen sometimes.
In a series of personnel appointments and removals, Zhao Xueqi's name was truly known to the entire army for the first time. He was appointed by Shi Dayong as the counselor's secretary.
Generally speaking, in the military, there are either counselors or clerks. What kind of official is this counselor Zhongshu? [
Counselor Zhongshu is not an official, but it can also be said to be an official. Shi Dayong's definition of this position is that in addition to helping him organize documents and regulations, he is also responsible for recording rewards and punishments for the entire army's drills.
The function of the former is not surprising to everyone. Guo Cheng previously served as a clerk in Deng Zhi's army, which was equivalent to the general's staff. What the latter is Zhongshu, the generals really can't figure it out. Some people say whether this is Zhao Zhongshu.
Some of our general's military advisors also say that Zhao Zhongshu is a military discipline officer similar to the governor of the Guard.
There are many things to say, but one thing is very clear, that is, after Zhao Xueqi received this appointment, especially after he had the power to reward and punish the entire army's officers and soldiers for their training results, he suddenly became a hotshot figure in the Jinzhou Army.
It's a bit incredible that a scholar who came here became a big shot, a big shot that can make soldiers fear him.
The key to this is that Shi Dayong has set a new rule, that is, every day, each battalion must conduct a training assessment for the day, and then carry out certain rewards and punishments based on the assessment. For example, if the soldiers are loading, firing and hitting the target accurately, such as fire blunderbuss shooting.
Then you can get a piece of bread as a reward. If you are very good, you can eat an extra bowl of white rice at night. If you are unqualified, your ration will be appropriately deducted. Even those who have been good for many consecutive days can
Get a piece of meat.
With disasters everywhere these days, it is a big deal to have enough food to eat, and soldiers and horses like the Jinzhou Army who can provide three meals a day can be said to be rare in the world.
When a soldier fights, he or she is risking his life to fill his stomach. Therefore, whether he is a captured soldier or a Sichuan soldier, he is very sensitive to this military regulation. This sensitivity is not to exclude resistance and then lead to mutiny, but to
is to become active.
Training is the bounden duty of a soldier. If you train your soldiers well, you can save your life on the battlefield in the future. It’s better now. In addition to saving your life, you can also eat better and be fuller. Why not do it?
Woolen cloth.
On the day when the new military regulations were handed down, all the camps in Pingdugou became lively. The soldiers drilled extra hard. Everyone wanted to become a qualified and outstanding person. After all, who had just had enough food for a few days, who wants to be hungry again in the blink of an eye?
.
The ones who performed the hardest were the captive soldiers. After the eleventh killing, they were frightened by Shi Dayong and suffered a lot. They trained the same every day, but only received half of their rations. At night, their stomachs were full.
They were so hungry that their stomachs ached and ache, which was very uncomfortable. When they saw people eating bread and white rice to their fullness, the eyes of these captive soldiers turned green. They regretted that they should not have done so that day.
There were so many people running away. I thought they would starve to death like this in the army from now on, but who knew that the general was kind and gave them a chance to have enough to eat, so how could any of them practice without working hard?
The new formations and military regulations greatly stimulated Jinzhou, and the effect was very gratifying. Every night, Shi Dayong would listen to the reports of the generals in his tent. Whenever he heard that the soldiers were quick in their movements and drilled diligently,
When everyone in the queue was reporting, he would happily nod in approval.
However, the happiest person in the entire Jinzhou Army is Zhao Xueqi, because he has too much power. Although he is puzzled as to why he was appointed as Counselor Zhongshu, Zhao Xueqi's ability to adapt to the role is indeed very strong, and he enjoys it very much.
The soldiers looked at him, enjoying the titles of "Master Zhao, Master Zhao" from the soldiers.
The pen in his hand seems to have the power of life and death. With a big stroke of the pen, some people can be happy, while others are as sad as if their parents are dead. I beg my grandfather and grandma to show mercy and deduct less food rations. Then
The feeling of being superior made Zhao Xueqi experience for the first time what it was like to have power in his hands.
But he didn't know that every day when he was showing off in front of the soldiers, there were always a pair of cold eyes staring at him.
