Yang Chendong is indeed going to recruit troops, not only that, but he will also establish a new cavalry division, after capturing so many war horses at once, he feels that the time is ripe, what army is strongest in the grassland area next, naturally cavalry, of course, he must cooperate to establish a strong cavalry force.

The commander of the cavalry division is tentatively appointed by Wu Shenglai, and Chen Bo is the political commissar. The cavalry regiment chasing the wind should also be expanded, but it is not suitable to set up a cavalry division for the time being, so let's call the cavalry reinforcement regiment first, and the subordinate strength is equivalent to two cavalry regiments, which is considered to be below the division and above the regiment.

In fact, such a unit can also be called a brigade, but Yang Chendong didn't want to be so troublesome, so he simply got a cavalry reinforcement regiment.

The big tune has been set, and the next step is recruitment. Because of the previous three-day public trial meeting, and in addition to this period of time, the Five-Star Army had already become one with the people at that time, and the relationship was extremely good, so there would naturally be no problems with conscription. On the contrary, because there are too many applicants, it is not possible to adopt the method of merit-based admission.

Compared with other armies that need to catch strong men everywhere and promise great benefits to barely make up enough troops, this craze for taking the initiative to sign up for the army must have made those people know and will be envious.

This is the use of examples, and this is the role of words and deeds. When you truly see the people as a human being and give them the respect and dignity they deserve, you will find that their lovely side will be revealed, and they will really think about you and be willing to give everything to you.

Of course, this also has a certain relationship with the generosity of the five-star army. Compared with the previous Jurchen cavalry and Mongolian cavalry recruitment, the monthly salary was only two taels of silver and five catties of meat, even if the Mongolian army later deliberately improved this treatment to five taels of silver a month and twenty catties of meat, the five-star army directly offered the treatment of ten taels of silver, and once it was proved that their combat ability reached the first level, it would be increased to fifteen taels per month.

That's a five-fold increase in January. The treatment is good, and you can be respected, and the five-star army has just sought justice for everyone, so that once the craze for signing up for the army appears, it will be very lively. Of the 7,000 cavalry captured, 6,500 were willing to join the Five-Star Army and become one of them, and 7,500 of the 8,000 strong men in Narcissus Town signed up to join the army. That is to say, as long as Yang Chendong is willing to accept it all, the number of soldiers will soon increase to 14,000, and if 400 people are counted as a battalion, it is equivalent to an additional 35 battalions.

It would be very nice to change to another army or force. But in Yang Chendong's eyes, he didn't mean to accept it all, he wanted elite soldiers who could fight, not just an ordinary army force.

Luo Po's 2nd Leng Feng Regiment remained in Laos and Vietnam and was preparing to expand into the 2nd Leng Feng Division. Based on this foundation, Yang Chendong made preparations for the expansion of the Wusheng Third Regiment into a cavalry division, with three regiments under its jurisdiction, each regiment expanded from the original four battalions to five battalions, and the fifth battalion was a reserve battalion. In this way, the number of people in a regiment is 1,600 people. The three regiments plus a battalion directly under the division had 400 men, and the total number was about 5,200.

In addition to the cavalry division, a cavalry reinforcement regiment should be established, and Chasing Feng and Lu Zhuo will share the duties of commander of the second regiment. Even if it is a reinforced regiment, the establishment of a reinforced regiment will naturally be strengthened, and one battalion will be counted as six companies, and three battalions will have 1,800 men, plus two companies directly under the regiment, and the number of a reinforced regiment will be 2,000. Two reinforcements are four thousand.

The original six auxiliary battalions were organized into an independent regiment, with a total of 2,400 men. For the time being, it was led by Yang Chendong himself, and Hu Mang served as the head of the regiment. If you calculate it like this, a cavalry division has 5,200 men, two cavalry reinforced regiments have a total of 4,000 men, and an auxiliary force has 2,400 people, totaling about 11,600 people.

To meet this condition, 6,600 men needed to be conscripted. Of the 14,000 people who signed up to join the army, he accepted only 6,600 recruits. It means that there are more people who have to brush down half. When the news came out, the young and middle-aged adults in Narcissus Town were stunned at first, and then they all worked hard to perform well and strive to join the five-star army.

Although the Five-Star Army is different from other armies, it is even necessary to refuse in the face of someone signing up for the army, but doesn't this just show their strength? An army that wants everyone may seem to be outnumbered, but I am afraid that when it really starts a war, it will not look so strong and powerful. On the contrary, the five-star army that strives for perfection is the real representative of strength, you must know that not everyone is like them, who dare to face young adults to become soldiers and choose to say no.

The order was given by Yang Chendong, naturally no one would object, and then there was a conscription assessment competition, and the examiners set up the questions, which were equestrian assessment, equestrian battles, and power contests on land, etc.

Everyone wants to have a good performance, after all, being able to join the five-star army is not only an opportunity to prove themselves, but also a coveted monthly military salary. There is also face, and there are also things in the inside, so everyone naturally wants to fight for the head.

......

Sacha River City.

The Sacha River stationed next to the Songhua River is just a small city, but because of its special geographical location, there is still a thousand households in the Northern Ming Dynasty, and Wei Qianhu's surname is Ye Mingla, which is a standard Jurchen tribe, or belongs to the Jurchen lineage.

At this time, Yela was in his own Thousand Households Mansion to meet Hui Libu who had escaped from Narcissus Town. Everyone is a Jurchen, and they are all born in the Jurchen line, so they are naturally in contact with each other. Even during the New Year's holiday, Huili would come to the Sacha River to give gifts on the orders of General Bert. Only this time, he came alone, and he didn't even ride a horse.

Yela was very curious about the sudden arrival of Hui Libu, such a dejected appearance. But when he heard about the shocking changes in Narcissus Town from the other party's mouth, Yela's eyebrows couldn't help frowning together, and I don't know how long it took before he asked in a very serious tone: "You said that the Five Star Army stole the two thousand war horses of the Jianzhou Left Guard, is this true?" I know you want to go back to Narcissus to take revenge, but please remember that there are some things that you can't say nonsense, they will lose your head, and they will affect our Jurchen people in the army. ”

"General Ye, I can vouch for this with my head, the matter of the Jianzhou Left Guard was done by the Five-Star Army, and this matter is no secret in the entire Narcissus Town." Holding his head up, he didn't have the slightest intention of retreating, and he didn't pat his chest to make a guarantee.

stared back very seriously, but the other party's eyes were still firm. Finally, Ye La let out a long breath, "Okay, if what you say is true, then this time it is equivalent to making a great contribution to Beiming, and General Ben will report this matter immediately, once the five-star army is eliminated, the territory of Narcissus Town will be yours." ”

"Thank you, General." With a happy face and a little excited, he still didn't forget to make his due promise at this moment, "Please rest assured, once I master Narcissus Town, the previous rules will not change, and everything will depend on the general's help." ”

The so-called rules naturally refer to the filial piety of the New Year's holidays. But at this moment, Yela didn't care about this, he was thinking about how to use this matter to improve his position in the Nuergandusi region, how to expand his power.

The Jurchens, especially the Jurchens, are naturally good at fighting, which the generals of the Northern Ming Dynasty have seen, so now more and more Jurchens have been exceptionally promoted, some have become hundreds of households, and some have become deputy thousand households, such as Yela has directly become a thousand households.

It seems that he has a bright future and prospect when he is in the position of a thousand households, but only he knows how difficult it is to really squeeze into the pile of people with the highest power with the identity of a born Jurchen. If you want to do this, you must not only have the support of nobles, but also have enough amazing military achievements. And the appearance of the Five-Star Army seems to have given him a chance, if he can, maybe he can use this to help him achieve the role of seeking a high position.

No wonder Yela would think so, in the history of more than 100 years, Nurhachi, who was born in the family of Jianzhou Left Guard Commander and Envoy, was mistakenly killed by his grandfather by the Ming Dynasty, and started the road of founding the country and becoming Khan after his grandfather. And this person's ancestor once served as a high-ranking official in the Ming army.

To say that Yela's idea is correct, it's a pity that this time it's just a mercenary or a mercenary led by Yang Chendong himself, which will doom him to do nothing. Of course, he didn't know this now, and after getting the inaccurate information about Huili, he immediately notified the nearby guards of this information, especially the Jianzhou Left Guard, who sent scouts to inform him as soon as possible.

Not only that, Yela also contacted Liu Dai, the deputy of Taining Wei, who was closer to him, this person is also a member of the Jurchen tribe, and he wants to unite this person to go to Narcissus Town, if there is a chance, he will take down the five-star army in one fell swoop, and if there is no chance, he will join the army of Jianzhou Zuowei to flank the five-star army together, in short, this time he will definitely make a contribution.

As a scout rode out of the city, the southwest region of Nuer Gandusi began to become lively, and a large net covering and targeting the Five-Star Army was also slowly unfolding.

Some people say that Nu'er Gandu Si is a recruitment agency sent by the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and the task of this institution is to appease the Jurchen tribe, whether there is this capital division or not does not affect the Ming Dynasty's feudal rule over various guards, and even in the eyes of some people, Nu'er Gandu Division is just an administrative region, and it is not even an institution.
