Lin Ziran was naturally very clear about everyone's expectations, so he did not delay. After everyone arrived, he informed him of Lin Ziran's knighthood from the Quanxu Department and the order from the Third Division Headquarters.
Lin Ziran then continued: "According to the rules of our Luo'an County, our Qingshan Patrol Camp can be regarded as a militia recognized by the superiors."
There are also different types of militia groups. In many places, there are powerful people. Villages can recruit dozens of strong men to protect their homes. They can also call themselves militia groups under various names. Even some big business houses and even large factories have their own armed guards, and they have some kind of militia group.
name.
At the same time, local government offices in counties and towns will also organize young and strong local militia groups such as guards, defense teams, and patrol battalions to train.
Although these are all local militia groups, the former are not officially recognized by the government. The latter will be officially recognized and given official titles tomorrow, and there will also be active-duty scholar-bureaucrats serving as military officers.
"From now on, our Qingshan Patrol Camp can be considered to have an official designation, and all regulations must be followed according to the rules!" Lin Ziran said slowly: "The designations of each company and platoon have been decided before, so there is no need to do so.
, but the appointment and dismissal of positions and the corresponding military titles must still be carried out according to the rules and then reported to the county bureau!"
After speaking, Lin Ziran looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he continued to talk one by one.
"Lao Zhen, you will be the commander of the second musketeer company. You will lead the sergeant first, and then you will be promoted after you have made meritorious service!"
"Scar, you continue to be in charge of the 4th Chasseur Company. You are also a sergeant."
"Ojiang, help me manage the third musketeer company, sergeant sergeant!"
Among them, Lao Zhen was a subordinate mentioned by Lin Ziran, whose full name was Lu Sanzhen. He joined the army at the same time as Wu Dajiang, and like Wu Dajiang, he was an honest and friendly person, the kind who could move a step forward with a kick.
He is a little older, in his thirties, but he is in good physical condition and is willing to endure hardships. The most important thing is that he obeys orders, very well.
During one training session, Lin Ziran specially made a mud stall, sprinkled disgusting things like feces and urine on it, and then ordered the soldiers to pass by in formation. The others would more or less float or even dodge.
But this Lao Zhen was the only one who didn't blink an eyebrow, soaked his feet in shit, and soaked his feet in urine, and walked slowly through without any confusion.
Even after passing, Lao Zhen was vomiting!
But this matters more to Lin Ziran. No matter who he is, a subordinate who resolutely obeys orders is a good subordinate!
Therefore, Lu Sanzhen has always been Lin Ziran's training target. He served as the platoon leader before, and then helped train the second musketry company. Now he has been officially promoted to the commander of the second musketry company.
In addition to these three confidants who served as company commanders, the other dozen platoon commanders were also formally appointed and awarded military titles one by one. Basically, the infantry platoon, the baggage platoon were awarded the sergeant title, the cavalry platoon and the artillery platoon were awarded the sergeant title.
It is awarded to the sergeant as a knight.
In this re-appointment, Lin Ziran transferred Wu Dajiang from the First Musket Company and transferred him to the newly established Third Musket Company as the company commander, but the First Musket Company did not arrange any more people.
Because this was the first muskete company that he was prepared to personally command, which was the first to form an army and also had the most combat effectiveness.
After being re-appointed and conferring military titles, everyone is happy. Hello, hello, hello, hello to everyone.
Even Luo Mazi was very happy because he was the only sergeant among them all. In his opinion, this sergeant-junior was worthy of his status as the number one loser.
Lin Ziran assigned Luo Mazi many positions. He was a battalion officer, and was also Lin Ziran's adjutant and guard officer.
Although he seemed to hold many positions and was highly valued, it can be seen from Lin Ziran's failure to let Luo Mazi serve as the chief officer of any company. Lin Ziran really had no intention of letting Luo Mazi go to the battlefield.
This man, like Ding Quankun, is not suitable for fighting.
Scar, on the other hand, is much better. Although he is rude and has a bad temper, he is able to control the more than a hundred bandit-born hunters in the hunting company. He has always dared to fight and fight hard. Lin Ziran
His top thug.
For such people, it is natural to reuse them.
After the appointments and conferrals were completed, Lin Ziran said: "Okay, I've finished talking about the happy things, now let's talk about the troublesome things!"
"Many brothers must know that the 3rd Division headquarters is in trouble. There are not enough troops to escort the baggage, so please come and let us help escort an extra distance, so I will wait for Sergeant Hao's transportation in a few days.
After the team arrives, I will lead the troops north to escort the supplies!"
"It's a long way to go north this time. We can't go back and forth on the same day like before. In addition, we will go deep into Guang'an. Therefore, I decided to bring more people. By then, the first musketry company and the second musketry company, as well as the artillery platoon and the cavalry platoon
They all went north with me, while the 4th Chasseur Company and the 3rd Musketeer Company stayed behind in their hometowns!"
After saying that, he turned to Scar and Wu Dajiang and said: "Scar, Old Wu, the responsibility of guarding my hometown will be left to you. While there is still time in the next few days, you should hurry up and familiarize yourself with defense."
The Jaeger Company is stationed in the oil refining area, and the Third Musketeer Company is stationed in Qingshan Town. This is Lin Ziran's established plan. Even if there are not enough troops to go north, he is not willing to transfer all the troops.
It is enough to take away two main musket companies plus the artillery platoon and cavalry platoon. After all, the transportation team that Hao Ren is in charge of has its own escort team of fifty or sixty people, and the two to three hundred civilians who are transporting are also
They are young men who have undergone short-term temporary training. When necessary, they can shoot them and then carry out defensive operations.
Adding the two together, there is no problem in dealing with the Guang'an Army, which usually consists of several hundred people.
Scar and Wu Dajiang both came out of the queue directly, and then said one after another: Take orders!
After preliminary arrangements, Lin Ziran directly pulled the troops preparing to escort the supplies northward outside the city, conducted adaptive marching training, and launched targeted defensive operations.
When encountering an enemy attack on a baggage train, the best way is to rely on a large number of four-wheeled carriages transporting supplies to form a vehicle formation and then defend on the spot, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Therefore, it is very important to practice defensive operations.
After two days of such urgent training, Hao Ren once again led the transport team to arrive at Qingshan Town on time.
After arriving in Qingshan Town, Lin Ziran found that Hao Ren was not in a good mood.
When eating in the evening, Hao Ren sighed: "I didn't expect that I would have to go to the front line in the end!"
Lin Ziran didn't know why. This was just escorting supplies. For patrol battalions like them, it was considered to be on the front line, but for Hao Ren and the regular army's baggage troops under his command, it was nothing.
Seeing Lin Ziran's confusion, Hao Ren explained: "I have received military orders. After this transportation mission, I have to take dozens of my brothers to the front line of Chongguang City!"
This was beyond Lin Ziran's surprise, and he immediately tried to ask: "The situation in Chongguang City is not very good?"
