After careful consideration, Zhao Qiang decided to adopt the army organization method of later generations. After setting this tone, he held a meeting with Hu Wang, Wu Si, Qi Zhuang, Bogen and others, and told them the idea of reorganizing the army.
.Wei Ji and Liu De were the only two people asked to observe.
Now Shouyi City has a population of more than 10,000 and a male population of nearly 5,000. All of them must be reorganized. It will not be possible to temporarily take many people into action like the mixed reorganization before. Therefore, Hu Wang and others agreed to Zhao Qiang's reorganization without thinking.
Reorganization means. In addition, their idea is also very simple. In the past, they only held a general position at most, with no more than 100 soldiers under their command. Now that they have 5,000 troops, it is time for them to get used to the guerrilla and commando skills.
After obtaining the approval of several senior officers, Zhao Qiang proposed the reorganization plan of the division joint system. It was the first time that Hu Wang and others heard about the "division joint system". They were all big-eyed and small-minded, and they did not understand this.
What is a divisional alliance?
Zhao Qiang explained it to them, telling them that a divisional regiment is a name for an army organization. Usually a division has two regiments, and a regiment has two to three brigades, and each brigade has two to three brigades.
There are three teams, and each team has three or four squads, each with nine to ten soldiers.
Hu Wang and the others seemed to understand Hu Wang's explanation. Seeing this, Zhao Qiang told them the proposed reorganization plan.
Under Zhao Qiang's reorganization plan, the First Cavalry Regiment will be established. The Regiment has two cavalry brigades, each with 500 combatants. Regiment Captain Qi Zhuang, Deputy Regiment Captain Wu Fengqiu, First Cavalry Brigade Captain Ma Long, and
Bagan, captain of the Second Cavalry Battalion.
After the establishment of the First Cavalry Regiment, in addition to the Mongolians under Bogen, 250 cavalrymen from Qizhuang and Hu Wang were transferred into the First Cavalry Brigade. In order to express their trust and closeness to Bogen
This means that all the officers and squad officers of the Second Cavalry Brigade will be appointed by Bagan himself.
In addition to the establishment of the 1st Cavalry Regiment, the 1st Infantry Regiment will also be established. The 1st Infantry Regiment consists of two musketry infantry brigades, two pike brigades, a transportation brigade, a cavalry reconnaissance team and an artillery team.
.Liant Captain Hu Wang, deputy captain Zuo Mingnan. Lin Jiafeng of the 1st Fire Gun Infantry Battalion, Zhao Guo, captain of the 2nd Fire Gun Infantry Battalion. Zhang Yi, captain of the 1st Spear Infantry Battalion, Ma of the 2nd Spear Infantry Battalion
Leji. Qian Lin, captain of the transportation brigade, Jiang Gan, captain of the cavalry reconnaissance team, and Wang Qiang, the artillery captain. The infantry brigade is fully equipped with 600 troops, the transportation brigade is 500 people, the reconnaissance team is 200 people, and the artillery team is 150 people. The total strength is
Three thousand two hundred and fifty people.
Due to the unsatisfactory performance of both our own firecrackers and the Russian musketry team in Tu'erling and the battle with the Russian army, Zhao Qiang equipped two brigades with all the firecrackers and assigned them to the infantry regiment, which was coordinated by the spear brigades.
The Spanish phalanx combat method was used to maximize the power of the cannon brigade. A separate cavalry reconnaissance team was established in the infantry regiment because Zhao Qiang learned from Cooper that there was no cavalry reconnaissance before the war to block the battlefield and encountered the enemy on the march.
He was caught off guard and learned a lesson. He asked the cavalry reconnaissance team not only to conduct pre-battle reconnaissance of the enemy, but also to use the maneuvers of the cavalry to make the opponent blind and deaf, and do not know where the opponent is.
After the reorganization, the total strength of the 1st Cavalry Regiment and the 1st Infantry Regiment will be 4,250 people. The remaining 650 people will be reorganized into a security team, responsible for maintaining security in the occupied areas and building post stations.
After listening to Zhao Qiang's reorganization and officer appointment list, Hu Wang, Wu Si and the others finally figured it out. From now on, they would no longer be called battalion officers, but would be called regiment captains and group captains. Because Hu Wang and Qi Zhuang served as joint commanders respectively.
As captain, Wu Si, the previous battalion officer, was not appointed. Hu Wang and Qi Zhuang were a little embarrassed about this, and inquired about Zhao Qiang's arrangements for Wu Si. Zhao Qiang glanced at Wu Si and smiled: "I don't just want to establish
The 1st Cavalry Regiment, the 1st Infantry Regiment, we also have the 2nd, 3rd Cavalry Regiment, and Infantry Regiment. Are you still afraid that the four Wu brothers will have nothing to do... The four Wu brothers will become the new instructors
For the position of captain of the brigade, the officers of the cavalry and infantry regiments will take turns to receive training in the teaching brigade. In the future, all promoted officers must train in the teaching brigade for three months before they can serve in the army."
Teaching brigade is also a new term. Although it sounds like it is just a brigade establishment, the officers Zhao Qiang said can only be sent to the army after training in the teaching brigade. Everyone looked at Wu Si with admiration, because in this way, wouldn't this teaching brigade be the same?
It has become as elite as the Prince Zhongyong and the Second Volunteer Battalion. It should be noted that most of the officers of the Wu Army had stayed in the Zhongyong Battalion and the Volunteer Battalion before being sent to serve in other armies. This teaching brigade is of the nature of a guard.
The captain's influence on the hearts of officers is also extraordinary.
Wu Si didn't really mind what military position he held. As long as he could kill Rakshasa people and go south to fight the Tatars in the future, it would be fine. When Zhao Qiang asked him to serve as the captain of the teaching brigade, he chuckled and accepted the order with clasped fists.
After everyone took orders one by one, Zhao Qiang announced the military title promotion system again.
First of all, all Han soldiers will be awarded the rank of sergeant. Men of all ethnic groups who have made military exploits will be awarded the title of sergeant. Oroqen, Feiyala and Cossacks who have passed the customs with loyalty will be awarded the rank of corporal. The remaining young men of all ethnic groups will be given the title of corporal.
The rank of military sergeant belongs to the auxiliary army. The Mongolians of Bagan's Second Cavalry Brigade are all sergeant rank.
The auxiliary soldiers have no right to share the spoils of war, and their families can only exist as untouchable slaves. The auxiliary soldiers can only be promoted to corporal if they have achieved military merit and their heads will be counted. All corporals will receive land and livestock, and have at least
A family of untouchables is their slave. To be promoted from corporal to sergeant, three enemy heads are required to be promoted, while to be promoted from sergeant to sergeant is five heads. Equivalent to the military merit of the head level is the control of the number of untouchable slaves.
The squad leader is a warrant officer with a small banner, the captain is a second lieutenant with a general banner, the battalion captain is a lieutenant with a rank of 100 households, the captain and deputy commander of the regiment, and the teaching captain is a school officer with a rank of 1000 households. Promotion to the rank of lieutenant is still based on military merit.
For this purpose, the number of enemies killed by his subordinates determines his promotion qualifications. For example, a warrant officer requires at least fifty enemy heads to be promoted to one level. If the number of enemies killed in the current battle cannot be promoted, the accumulation will be calculated next time.
The Wu army was the Guan Ning Army earlier. At that time, the military system of the Ming Dynasty was adopted, and military merit was calculated based on the first rank. After being surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, military merit was still calculated based on the first rank. Therefore, no one had any objections to Zhao Qiang's promotion to military rank.
Not to mention Zhao Qiang's position as the division leader, everyone also understood that it was Zhao Qiang who was appointed as the commander. The current situation was all due to Zhao Qiang alone, so everyone would not have any dissatisfaction with Zhao Qiang in their hearts.
