Chapter 315

In the official hall in the back hall of the general's office, Wu Zhizhong and others looked thoughtful after listening to Zhang Cheng's words.

Zhang Cheng continued: "Wu Zhizhong's worries just now are extremely correct. However, this general has been favored by the Holy Majesty when he came to Beijing this time.
Both His Majesty and Yang Ge's Ministry once said that they wanted me to train more new troops, not to stick to the number of [-], but to use [-] as the benchmark.

Therefore, this general has to form a two-step battalion, a cavalry battalion, and a chariot and supply battalion. The four battalions have 3000 soldiers, plus the Chinese army directly led by the general, a total of [-] people. Inside.

Now, when the rogues reappear, they cannot protect the place without a strong army in their hands. Before the end of the year, the two infantry battalions must recruit at least two warriors, the cavalry battalion must have a thousand sharp men, and the chariot battalion must also take shape. , so that we can advance and retreat with evidence and with ease. "

Zhang Cheng's eyes were piercing, and he was extremely determined. Everyone was still thinking about what he said just now, but he said again: "I will form a cavalry battalion under my command.
There is a heavy cavalry department with a tentative number of three hundred. Each soldier has three horses, one of which is a war horse, the second is a riding horse, which is an auxiliary war horse, and the third is a pack horse. It must be equipped, and it is dedicated to the task of confronting and trapping the enemy;
There is also a Ranger Department, the number of which is tentatively set at about [-]. Each soldier has two horses, both of which are war horses. Armor and military equipment can be chosen at will, and equipped according to each person's habits. Exploring the road, attacking the enemy's flanks and harassing the enemy in wartime, cutting off the responsibility of their food roads;
There is also a division of Tuqi, the number of which is tentatively set at about [-]. Each person has a horse and wears light armor such as leather armor. In addition to riding skills, the sergeants in the department must also be proficient in firearms. Although they are called Tuqi, they are actually light cavalry In times of war, it can quickly rush into a certain place to reinforce various places, and it can also be responsible for chasing and annihilating the enemy when the powerful enemy retreats.

In addition, the cavalry battalion will add another military unit with 500 personnel, five heavy carts, ten chariots, and [-] horses, mules and horses each to protect the cavalry battalion. Give priority to supplementing the vacancies of various cavalry units. "

Zhang Cheng's eyes stopped on Zhang Guangda, and everyone also looked at him, which made him a little uncomfortable. Although he pretended to be calm, he looked a little embarrassed.

Zhang Cheng continued: "The cavalry battalion will be handed over to Guangda to act as the battalion general. The heavy cavalry in the battalion will be led by the former rear sentry, the general king Tieren. General Tong Shoushan was brought under the leadership, and the cavalry camp was led by the former right sentry deputy general Zuo Qinghe;

The Zhenfu officer and the Zhenfu sergeant were dispatched by the general's Chinese army, and the Chinese army officer and the Chinese army guard were selected by Zhang Guangda, the general of the battalion, but they had to report to the Chinese army's preparation file, and the same was true for the two infantry battalions of Chen Zheng and Zhang Guodong. "

Zhang Cheng stopped to take a few more sips of tea, and Lin Fangping hurried over to refill him with tea. Under the attention of everyone, Zhang Cheng said again: "Next is the car camp, and Wei Zhice will be the commander of the car camp." Officer, there are three supply departments in the car camp, and each department will be equipped with 100 heavy vehicles and [-] soldiers;

There are also two chariot divisions, each equipped with 300 side tank chariots, some light artillery and large guns, and [-] soldiers and gunners. "

Zhang Cheng continued: "Each of our army's heavy carts can carry as much as twelve stones and five buckets of grain, rice, beans, fried chess, etc., which can feed an army for three to five days.

Each heavy truck weighs more than 2000 catties, and is pulled forward by eight healthy mules. Each truck is equipped with one or two portable Francois machine guns, and ten sergeants, including the commander, barge, gunner.

The side-carriage chariot is slightly smaller than the luggage chariot. The whole chariot weighs nearly [-] catties and is one foot and five feet long. It can be pulled forward by two healthy mules. Each chariot is equipped with two portable Buddha doors. Wolf machine guns, loaded with guns, ammunition packs, lead bullets, etc.;

Each chariot is equipped with 20 sergeants, which are divided into two Zhengqi teams. The ten soldiers in the regular team are the commander, bargeman, and gunner; vehicle safety. "

There was a burst of discussion among the people in the official hall. The scale of this wagon battalion is indeed the most important in the entire army. Not to mention the four or five hundred vehicles and chariots, this sergeant alone has 6000 troops, which is equivalent to two infantry battalions. The number of soldiers has increased!

Zhang Cheng waited for everyone to discuss for a while, and then said: "In this way, when our army goes to battle, each soldier brings three days of emergency rations, and the car can even carry more than ten days' rations for our army officers and soldiers. Embarrassment when Qin Wang appeared.

Wei Zhice, at least one chariot and one chariot will be built before the end of the year. I will order the craftsman camp in Yunzhou to make every effort to manufacture chariots and chariots. If the guns are not enough, they can be replaced by other things, and the chariot , The carriage must be built by itself.

What's more, the recruiting standards for soldiers and chariot soldiers should not be lowered. Although they are called military soldiers to the outside world, they should still be used as combat soldiers in wartime, and training should not be neglected! "

Zhang Cheng didn't stop, and continued to say: "In the cavalry battalion, infantry battalion, and chariot battalion, the divisions, bureaus, teams, and first and deputy military positions of the various ministries are selected by the generals of each battalion in conjunction with the chief executives of the various ministries. Just check it out with the military.”

"Next is my general's Chinese army. Wu Zhizhong will serve as the general of the Chinese army, He Biao will serve as the general governor of the Chinese army, and he will be in charge of the entire army. Wang Yuanjing will serve as the counselor of the Chinese army. are under his control,

The current priority of the Chinese army is to recruit soldiers. The reason why the general did not assign the guards and fortresses to report is that he wanted to select strong and strong people as the generals. At present, recruitment is still the main task.

However, Zhizhong, don't just recruit in the places on Shangbei Road, you can expand the scope to the entire North Road, and even send people to recruit in the East Road. "

"General, if you act like this, I'm afraid that Lord He of the military constitution will not pass through it, and the East Road Bingbeidao and Vice President Zhang who is in Yongning will not agree. I'm afraid it will cause trouble for the general in the end."

Zhang Cheng smiled lightly, and said: "It's okay, when I came to Beijing this time, Your Majesty and Yang Ge's Ministry both said that the recruitment and training of soldiers is the most important thing. There are many places for the imperial court to use troops when there are resurgent bandits.
If it is really difficult to recruit soldiers in one place on the North Road, you can go to the guards in the entire North Road to recruit soldiers, and even the East Road is where we recruit soldiers. It is estimated that in the next few days the text of the Ministry of War will be sent to various places. You just need to Do things boldly. "

Scanning all the people in the hall, Zhang Cheng raised his voice and said, "This general's attack in Chang'an Ridge is still very thrilling to think about. Although the Chinese army will not form various ministries, divisions, and bureaus for the time being, the general's relatives The military guards need to be strengthened."

Everyone has no opinion on this, everyone nodded frequently, Zhang Cheng's safety is related to the future of everyone in this official hall, it is their life's honor and disgrace, how can they not pay attention to it?
