After the chief officers of the 1st Division, 2nd Division, 3rd Division, 4th Division, 1st Mixed Brigade, 2nd Mixed Brigade, Habayashi Guards Brigade, Special Forces Headquarters, Artillery Brigade and other units have handed over flags, there has been no turn yet.
Arrive at Wang Xiaoshan.
"Tianxiong Guards Brigade, brigade commander Wang Xiaoshan, military rank colonel." Li Mingyuan read out the last brigade-level commander, Wang Xiaoshan was still there in a daze.
"Xiaoshan, the prince has read your name," Li Dawei shook his arm.
"Uh, thank you, Brother Li, for reminding me." Wang Xiaoshan whispered, and then stood up.
"Xiaoshan, you performed well this time, so I hand over the newly established Tianxiong Guards to you. I hope you will not insult the word Tianxiong."
Tianxiong was taken from the Tianxiong Army of Lu Xiangsheng in the late Ming Dynasty. The Tianxiong Army had less than 10,000 people, but it dared to fight head-to-head with 50,000 to 60,000 Manchu Tatars. Although the Tianxiong Army was eventually defeated because the friendly forces refused to save them,
The army was destroyed, but the reputation of the Tianxiong army was passed down and was praised and respected by future generations.
The Manchus were innocent and the Chinese should strive for self-improvement. In his free time at night, Li Mingyuan often gathered officers to explain military theories and national heroic deeds. The story of the Tianxiong Army was deeply remembered by Wang Xiaoshan. Li Mingyuan named the newly established army after Tianxiong to show that he
Great expectations are placed on this unit.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoshan immediately vowed to make the Tianxiong Imperial Guard Brigade live up to its name and live up to the name Tianxiong.
At the end of the meeting, Li Mingyuan left the conference hall first, and then others started talking happily.
"Brother Cai, you are so awesome. You became a captain all of a sudden." Chen Luer said enviously.
"It's all thanks to Commander Sun's support. I would like to thank Captain Sun for this humble position." After Sun Qisheng reported Cai Jiu's contribution to providing intelligence to the special forces, Li Mingyuan rewarded Cai Jiu according to his merits and promoted Cai Jiu to captain, and at Sun Qisheng's request
Next, Cai Jiu was assigned to the special forces.
"Haha, Cai Jiu, you earned your position by yourself. I just reported it truthfully. If you want to thank me, just thank the crown prince." Sun Qisheng was promoted to colonel today. He was in a good mood and said with a smile.
"The care and consideration of the Crown Prince and Chief Sun will be borne in mind."
"Work hard in the Special Forces Brigade, strive to make early contributions, and be promoted to major."
"Thank you for your encouragement, sir. I will work hard in my humble position."
"I'm talking about Sun Qisheng, you just got promoted and you started to show off your official pedigree?"
Sun Qisheng knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice.
He said, "Brother Wu, isn't I happy?"
Sun Qisheng had just been promoted. He imitated Li Mingyuan's encouragement of his subordinates and encouraged Cai Jiu. As a result, he was teased by Wu Feipeng, the captain of the sword, and said a little embarrassed.
"You're lucky too. You've made two meritorious deeds in succession, and now your military rank is as high as my brother's."
"Brother Wu's sword team is very famous in our independent army. Even though I have been promoted to colonel, I dare not compete with Brother Wu." Sun Qisheng said modestly.
"This makes Old Wu feel comfortable. However, Old Wu is not a stingy person. You are very happy to be promoted today. I will treat you to a meal to celebrate. How about a favor?"
"Brother Wu invited me to dinner, how could I not agree?" Sun Qisheng said with a smile.
"Captain Wu, since you're inviting us to dinner, why don't you take me and Brother Cai with you?" Chen Luer said.
"Of course the more lively the meal, the better. Let's go together." Wu Feipeng said angrily.
"Well, I remembered that the Crown Prince will give a lecture to the officers tonight, so don't get drunk during lunch." Chen Luer remembered something.
"Oops, I'm done, Chen Luer is already a second lieutenant officer." Wu Feipeng patted his head and said.
"Hehe, I'm just the youngest official. I don't dare to compete with the senior officials." Chen Luer's face was filled with joy and he said with a smile.
"Haha, you are an interesting kid. Otherwise, you will be transferred to me and I will personally teach you how to use a machete."
"Then forget it, I can't stand Captain Wu's training." Chen Luer shook his head like a rattle, showing no intention of agreeing.
It had been less than ten days since Chen Luer joined the Chinese Independence Army, but during these days, he had also seen Wu Feipeng training his men.
In the Battle of Arequipa, the swordsman team did not achieve the same first success as the cavalry regiment and other units. Therefore, after conquering the city of Arequipa, Wu Feipeng vented all his resentment for not receiving the first success on troop training.
Every morning at dawn, Wu Feipeng leads his soldiers to start training.
Wu Feipeng trained his men mercilessly this time, using unopened swords to simulate actual combat.
In nearly ten days, almost every member of the Big Sword Team was taught a lesson by Wu Feipeng, and three unlucky guys had two of their ribs broken by kicks.
What I have to admit is that although Wu Feipeng's training is simple and crude, it is very effective. The combat effectiveness of the current members of the Broadsword Team has increased by more than one level compared to when it was first established.
"Haha, I'm kidding you. Your small body can't stand the training of the Swordsman Team." Wu Feipeng laughed and said.
Wu Feipeng was telling the truth. The members of the Broadsword Team are generally over 1.8 meters tall. With Chen Luer's height of less than 1.7 meters, he is indeed a bit short.
"Captain Wu, let me tell you, among the Chinese Independence Army, the most powerful military flag is that of the Broadsword Team. The two swords crossed together look so majestic." Wu Feipeng refused to let Chen Luer join the Broadsword Team.
Donkey'er relaxed and praised him with flattering praise and raised the flag of the Broadsword Team.
"You are still discerning," Wu Feipeng glanced at him appreciatively, and continued, "Not to mention the military flags of the four divisions, but just the military flags of the two Guards brigades and the two mixed brigades. The military flag of the Tiger Guard Brigade is a white tiger.
The Tiger Guards Brigade is a black tiger, the Tianxiong Guards Brigade is a green dragon, and the Yulin Guards Brigade is a golden dragon. Their military flags are all animal prototypes, which are not as majestic as the two broadswords of the Broadsword Team."
"What Captain Wu said is that the flag of the Broadsword Team is the most majestic."...
Wu Feipeng was chatting happily, Wang Xiaoshan, Li Dawei, Wang Xiaoshan and others also gathered together to talk.
"Xiaoshan, the Crown Prince entrusts the Tianxiong Imperial Guard Brigade to you because he values you. Do your best and don't let the Crown Prince down." Wang Dashan patted his shoulder and said.
"I'm very happy that the prince asked me to be the brigade commander, but..." Before Wang Xiaoshan could finish his words, Wang Dashan understood what he meant.
He said, "The Tianxiong Brigade is nominally the Crown Prince's bodyguard, but it will still be sent out during wars. Didn't you see that even the Cavalry Brigade was organized into the Imperial Guard?"
Wang Xiaoshan then thought about it. The Yulin Brigade is the only fully-equipped unit in the army. The Yulin Cavalry Brigade, which consists of 3,000 people, also has a main cavalry regiment with one person and two horses. As the sharp knife force of the entire army, Li Mingyuan will not use the cavalry.
After idle time, Wang Xiaoshan felt relieved when he thought of this, and said with a smile, "Brother Li won his first victory in the Battle of Arequipa. I am here to congratulate Brother Li."
"Haha, brother Xiaoshan is so polite. We all became brigade commanders. We are all happy together." Li Dawei said with a smile.
"I don't dare to compare with Brother Li. My younger brother is just a strong school, while Brother Li and the eldest brother are already generals." Wang Xiaoshan said modestly.
The general military rank of a brigade commander is major general, but the military rank system has just been promulgated, and Li Mingyuan has not set the military ranks too high. Except for Wang Dashan, Li Dawei, Zhou Daniu and other brigade commanders who have made great achievements, the rank is major general, and the other deputy division commanders are colonels.
, and because the artillery brigade commander Luo Dapao was illiterate, Li Mingyuan only awarded him the rank of lieutenant colonel.
"Xiao Shan, your rank of colonel is quite high. There are only seven or eight major generals in the Independent Army in total. Luo Zhongguo, who is also the brigade commander with you, has the rank of lieutenant colonel. You have to be patient. There will be more opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future.
"Wang Dashan said.
"Haha, I have also heard about Luo Dapao. It seems that because Luo Dapao is illiterate, the prince lowered his military rank by one level. Just now I saw Luo Dapao hurriedly asking Chief of Staff Liu to teach him.
