Vol 3 Chapter 81: Army reorganization

   On the other side, since the decision to reorganize the army, Li Jing has been busy.

   First, Yang Song saw off the fleet that was going north to explore the sea route, and then rushed to the Apocalypse City non-stop.

   After meeting Huo Qubing in Apocalypse City, he rushed to Shanhaiguan immediately.

   Under the light car, Li Jing, Huo Qubing, and Zhou Wu ran for more than three days for 700 kilometers, and arrived at Shanhaiguan at noon on the fourth day.

   This is also a war horse bred by Xia Guo. If it is an ordinary horse, it will take three or four days to train for two hundred kilometers a day.

   That afternoon, Li Jing took Huo Qubing and Liu Qi to read Yang Song's emperor's order to Di Qing, Lu Su, Zhang Wei, and Yu Shu.

   Let Zhang Wei go back to serve as the director of the Lower Guards Bureau of the Military Department, and Yu Shu as the director of the Military Affairs Bureau. After the reorganization, he can take the remaining soldiers back to take office.

"General Zhang, I should be called Director Zhang. Congratulations, I will become a great minister next to the Lord when I go back this time. Unlike me, I have to guard the border for the country in this deserted and remote place." Di Qing faced Zhang. Wei clasped his fists and congratulated again and again.

   Zhang Wei clasped his fists and replied: "General Di, don't be joking. The next time I go, I will really be far away from the battlefield, alas~."

   Zhang Wei said finally, he sighed, as if he still had some nostalgia for the battlefield.

   "Everyone, gather the army tomorrow morning and start to reorganize it." Li Jing interrupted a few people's chat, but he was busy, there are still a lot of things in Apocalypse City waiting for him to go back.

   "Yes, General!" everyone clasped their fists in unison and said.

  Although Zhang Wei and Di Qing are both generals, they are only major generals, while Li Jing is a lieutenant general. Although they are superiors from heaven, they dare not have any disrespectful thoughts.

   Early the next morning, all the soldiers from the infantry brigade and guard brigade assembled in the pass. The walls of the pass were guarded by some auxiliary militiamen.

   The first thing that needs to be selected is the soldiers of the Janissaries. The gap is a battalion. The original guards are all converted into Jinyiwei, and the Janissaries, Yang Song and Li Jing, are preparing to form a heavy battalion.

The    heavy equipment battalion consists of a heavy equipment group, a heavy cavalry group, a heavy equipment group, a range attack group and a light cavalry group, with a total of 1,100 people.

   Although such a heavy equipment battalion can't make a long-distance attack, it is more than enough to guard the Apocalypse City, and it can also play a strong support effect as a strategic support reserve.

   After a random selection process between Li Jing and the three generals present, the most elite 1,100 soldiers were selected, and Zhou Wu took them aside for instruction.

Zhou Wu followed Li Jing to Shanhaiguan, but received an order from Yang Song. Yang Song ordered Zhou Wu to not return to Tianqi City immediately after receiving the Imperial Guards, but stationed in Shanhaiguan and waited for the supplementary force to be in place. Later, let him return to Apocalypse City.

   This order from Yang Song to Zhou Wu was suggested by Li Jing. Li Jing’s original words were: “Shanhaiguan lacks such a talented team. If the enemy comes here at this time, it will be unpredictable.”

   Although neither Chen Ping’s intelligence nor Shanhaiguan’s scouts found any signs of the enemy’s incursion, I’m not afraid to shoot for ten thousand.

   Then, the regular infantry brigade was organized again. Li Jing, Di Qing, and Lu Su selected more than 3,000 soldiers from the remaining 5,500 soldiers to form a regular infantry brigade.

However, the reorganized infantry brigade is a bit different from the original organization. The original infantry brigade had a heavy equipment battalion, but after the selection of the Imperial Guard, the remaining heavy infantry and heavy cavalry were not enough to reorganize into a heavy equipment battalion. .

Therefore, the formation of the infantry brigade became two conventional battalions plus an artillery formation, a light cavalry formation, and a distant attack formation. Moreover, an artillery brigade in the second conventional battalion did not have sufficient siege artillery. It can only be replaced by a long-range attack team.

   Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the infantry brigade after the reorganization has declined. This is one of the reasons why Li Jing suggested that the Imperial Guard should be stationed here.

   All the cavalry among the remaining two thousand soldiers are under Huo Qubing's command. The remaining cavalry is not many, only about 700, all of which are returned to Huo Qubing's subordinates and become two light cavalry formations.

The last more than 1,200 lightly armed infantry, Li Jing allocated a battalion of soldiers under the name of the city guards belonging to the Guards Bureau, and the remaining nearly 100 soldiers Li Jing prepared to take back to the city of Apocalypse, they will become conscripts. Instructors and officers of the army.

   At this point, nearly seven thousand soldiers have been "divided up". Each unit will be exhausted in Shanhaiguan for a period of time to drill. The officers will be familiar with the soldiers under them, and the soldiers will have to re-familiarize themselves with their superiors.

   The three major generals are also familiar with their new subordinates. Except for a few original subordinates, the rest were all formed after the disruption.

  Ren Xian was originally a captain of the light cavalry unit of the infantry brigade. Now he has become the captain of the light cavalry of the Imperial Guard. The vacancy of Ren Xian was filled by Zhu Cheng.

   Zhu Cheng was originally a squadron captain of the light cavalry formation during the guard battalion period. In the war to take back the caravan, he added the progressive brigade, and now he has been promoted to a light cavalry captain of the infantry brigade.

Qi Jun was originally the commander of the light cavalry battalion of the guard battalion. After the expansion of the guard brigade, he became the battalion commander of the light cavalry battalion of the guard brigade. Now after reorganization, he became a battalion commander of the cavalry battalion of the cavalry brigade, but There was only one light cavalry formation at this time.

   Yan served as the commander of the original guard battalion forward battalion, then was promoted to the battalion commander of the guard brigade forward battalion, and now became the battalion commander of the second regular battalion of the infantry brigade.

   Liu Yanzheng was originally the commander of the melee battalion of the guard battalion. During the expansion, he was also promoted to the battalion commander of the melee battalion of the guard brigade. At this moment, he followed Zhang Wei and became the only battalion commander of the city guard.

   The other officers are roughly the same. After the reorganization, there are many who have fewer subordinates. Fortunately, no one is a "polished commander."

   Even some establishments are not full. This is because the vacancies of the more than 300 sacrificed martyrs have not been supplemented.

The original plan was to directly select outstanding people from the militia to supplement the army, but the combat literacy of the militia is far from enough. This is also one of the original intentions of Li Jing's proposal to implement the conscript system~www.novelmtl.com~ So now the enemy has no time to take care of it. During the vacant period, in line with the principle of bettering the shortage and not indiscriminately, we can only wait for the outstanding soldiers among the conscripts before adding them.

   If it were not for the fact that the enemy had no offensive capability, Yang Song would not agree to such a big change in the army.

  Because of this, under the pressure of foreign enemies, all soldiers and soldiers in the army quickly reorganized with very efficient action.

   Another reason for Yang Song to agree to the reorganization is Li Jing’s words: “The army is not a private soldier of a certain general. In order to prevent the emergence of gangs and gang forces in the army, a reasonable flow of soldiers and officers is necessary.”

   Li Jing’s words reminded Yang Song of the phrase "iron-struck battalion and running water". It is not only used to describe the alternation of new and old soldiers, but also a system implemented to prevent this from happening.

   That's why Yang Song was at this juncture and determined to perfect the military system. He didn't want a general who wanted to rebel against him in the future.

   After the reorganization of the whole army, it is inevitable that the army will experience a decline in combat effectiveness, but the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain. As long as the combat effectiveness is trained, these outstanding generals, officers, and fighters will quickly make up for it.

   With the expansion of Xia's army, it is very possible that such a situation may still occur in the future. Now it is good to adapt in advance and sum up the experience.
