One thousand, two hundred people. If this number is placed in some feudal towns, it will be the strength of a regiment. However, if it is placed in the troops of some feudal towns, it will only be the size of a battalion.
Even among the troops in some feudal towns, these more than a thousand people can be regarded as a brigade.
Nowadays, the organization of the vassal towns in Dahengli is relatively chaotic. Although the organization and names of the Daheng Dynasty are still maintained on the whole, they only maintain the names.
Due to their own strengths and different tactical needs, each vassal town has a messy organization.
In addition to these, another very important point is that during wartime, it is often difficult for the vassal towns to maintain the full strength of each unit. Many units tend to be reduced in number as the war progresses. However, some units have relatively strong generals, so although they may be
A regiment often has thousands of troops under its control.
Therefore, in today's Daheng, it is normal for a battalion to have more troops than a regiment, and for a regiment to have more troops than a division.
Luo An's army is relatively regular, and the troops at all levels have generally maintained the establishment of the Great Heng Dynasty.
Because Luo An's army was formerly the Third Army of the South China Sea, and Nanhai Prefecture was ostensibly loyal to the Ji Dynasty more than ten years ago, but it was only after Duke Meng died on the battlefield that it was openly separatist.
Therefore, Luo An's army maintained the standard establishment of the Great Heng Dynasty as a whole.
The army has several divisions, three brigades under the divisions, and four regiments under the brigades.
Each regiment has approximately more than 1,300 troops. Each regiment has two combat battalions. In addition, there is a recruit battalion that stays behind to recruit and train new soldiers. This recruit battalion does not go to the battlefield.
Each combat battalion has approximately more than 600 people and consists of six companies, each with a strength of 100 people.
Generally speaking, a brigade within Luo An's army is a standard tactical unit, equipped with artillery, cavalry, baggage and other auxiliary units. The total force can often reach more than 6,000 people and has independent combat capabilities. Its commander is usually a Shaoqing.
As for division-level troops, they are strategic units. For example, the Third Division outside Chongguang City is like this, responsible for a single front.
The organization of Luo An's army was a relatively common one in the Daheng Dynasty. Although the organizations in other vassal towns were different, they were mostly the same.
However, Lin Ziran's Qingshan patrol camp was completely different from their establishment.
Because the Qingshan Patrol Battalion is equipped with Mini rifles, it pays more attention to skirmish line combat than line combat, and pays more attention to the command of grassroots troops. Coupled with Lin Ziran's personal influence, it produced about 140 musketeers.
Come on.
As for the company and even the most basic tactical units, the company is different, and the others are naturally different.
Therefore, the organization and even tactics of Qingshan Patrol Battalion are different from Luo An's Army.
This also led to the fact that Lin Ziran could not find any ready-made reference when conducting tactical training. The training instructions within the Luo An Army were not very applicable to the Qingshan Patrol Camp.
Because Luoan's army training drills were specifically designed to train line combat, even if there were skirmishing tactics, they were only for light infantry using smoothbore muskets or for hunters using old-fashioned front-loading rifled guns.
In desperation, Lin Ziran could only do basic training as before.
After struggling with the staffing issue, Luo Mazi also went to Lin Ziran to report on the recruitment of prisoners of war.
"During this period, I don't dare to have any slights. I have followed your instructions to recruit those prisoners of war. The emperor has paid off, and I have finally achieved some results recently!"
When Lin Ziran heard this, he immediately asked: "Oh, is there an officer willing to join us?"
Nowadays, what Lin Ziran lacks most is qualified officers, so he has organized a crash course for officers. But now there is not even a qualified instructor. He can only let a group of officer cadets study by themselves with training manuals and various tactical books. Then
The effect is almost the same as nothing.
If an officer is willing to join us, the instructor problem will be solved.
However, when Luo Mazi heard this, he paused slightly, and then showed a hint of embarrassment: "That's not true..."
Then he defended: "Those officers are like stones in the pit, smelly and hard. I tried to persuade them several times, but every time they came back without success. According to my opinion, I still have to fight for a while longer!"
"Although I let them work some time ago, I still treated them too favorably. The next step is to break up these officers and arrange them into various groups, and arrange them into groups headed by soldiers who are dissatisfied with the officers.
!”
"The younger ones can't believe it. They can endure it all the time!"
After Luo Mazi said a lot, Lin Ziran had no intention of listening. The most valuable among the prisoners of war were the officers. Since they could not be surrendered, the remaining prisoners of war would naturally be of little use.
Luo Mazi was also a smart man, and he could tell at a glance that although Lin Ziran seemed to be listening to him, he actually didn't know what to think about in his heart.
He immediately changed his subject and said: "Although those officers are not yet willing to surrender, the younger one has successfully persuaded two sergeants to surrender!"
"Is there any sergeant willing to surrender?" Lin Ziran became interested after hearing this.
Sergeants, in the armies of various vassal towns in the Daheng Dynasty, although they are still considered soldiers, they are generally senior soldiers and usually hold grassroots positions. For example, the gunners of artillery are generally sergeants.
Although these sergeants are not officers, they have been in the army for many years and have rich experience. If they can be recruited, there will be many benefits.
Soon, Lin Ziran met the two Guang'an sergeants Luo Mazi said were willing to surrender.
One looks to be in his thirties, and the other is slightly younger, but still in his twenties. Neither of them is in a good mental state, but they have neat faces and are wearing clean military uniforms.
After these two people came in one after another, they immediately bowed their hands and said, "Young man, I have met you!"
Lin Ziran smiled and nodded: "Get up, get up, we will all be brothers from now on, you're welcome!"
At this time, Luo Mazi also took two steps forward and introduced Lin Ziran: "This is Sergeant Zheng Youwei. He has been in the army for twelve years and has experienced countless battles. Even in the elite troops of the Guang'an Army, he can occupy a senior position.
A warrior in the sergeant position.”
After finishing speaking, he pointed to a slightly younger man and said: "This is a highly talented sergeant. He has been in the army for eight years and is a senior and highly skilled gunner. A five-pound field gun in his hands is a perfect shot!"
After hearing Luo Mazi's brief introduction, the smile on Lin Ziran's face became even brighter.
These two people are talents that we urgently need.
Even if they are not officers, they are senior sergeants who have been in the army for many years, especially one of them is a gunner. No matter which army they are placed in, these two people are worthy of the commander's attention.
"They are all talents!" Lin Ziran took two steps forward with a smile: "You two don't have to worry about anything in the future. I, Lin, don't dare to say anything else, but you can definitely rest assured about the treatment!"
"Maybe Mazi has told you a lot of things, so I won't repeat it to Mr. Lin, I will only talk about it in the future!"
After saying that, a guard walked over next to him. The guard was holding a tray with a collar badge on it.
Lin Ziran directly picked up the collar badges on the tray, and then stepped forward to pin them on: "From now on, we will all be brothers. Our patrol camp is still a bit small now, so I first resigned my two brothers to become sergeants, but
In the future, when the scale of our patrol camp expands, not only sergeants, but also doctors will be fine!"
Lin Ziran knew that the surrender of these two people might be due to a temporary surrender to reality, but Lin Ziran didn't care.
As long as they work for themselves, that's enough.
As long as he develops well and the promised future is guaranteed, Lin Ziran does not believe that they left the scholar-bureaucrats here improperly and insists on running back to the Guang'an Army to become some kind of soldier.
In Daheng, sergeants are just soldiers.
The two people watched Lin Ziran put on the sergeant and sergeant's collar badges for them. Although they had many thoughts in their minds, they still managed to smile.
