Dongting Lake, located between Changsha County, Wuling County, and Jiangxia County, is Liu Biao's power to the west and north, Sun Jian's strength to the south, and Liu Xuan's strength to the east. However, around a small island in the 800-mile Dongting Lake, there were warships docked one after another, including warships, warships, building ships, and other warships, and there were more than 40 warships, large and small.

The northern, western, and eastern sides of the island are high and steep, with only the southern side being low.

The only way to get to the island is from the south.

The Jinfan Navy led by Gan Ning is stationed here, and the island is within a radius of 100 miles, all of which are the territory of the Jinfan Navy.

After nearly a year, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin have trained the navy army to be more powerful. Although the number of soldiers is still more than 5,000 soldiers, the number has not increased, but these naval soldiers are elite soldiers trained by Gan Ning and Zhou Tai personally, not only good at fighting on land, but also athletes on the water, quite powerful.

On an island, an open area.

A huge camp rises from the ground, and the camp has two big characters written on it.

On the arrow tower of the camp, there is a big black flag, the cold wind blows, and the big flag flutters in the air and hunts. This big flag is the banner that Wang Can awarded to Ganning Jinfan Army. After Gan Ning carried the banner back to the camp, he planted it on the arrow tower to show Wang Can's attention to the navy.

In the hall, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin sat opposite each other.

After Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin joined, the matter in the army was not decided by Gan Ning alone, but by the three of them.

Zhou Tai sat cross-legged and said in a deep voice: "Lao Gan, not long ago, Sun Jian sent an envoy to the island, wanting to recruit our sailors. If you send an envoy next time, just throw Sun Jian's envoy in Dading and cook it, see if he dares to send someone? Hmph, his army can't beat us, so he thinks about surrendering, how can there be such a good thing. ”

When Gan Ning heard this, he shook his head and said, "No, we still have to continue to be false and snake-tailed." You can't spoil the lord's big things because of impulse. Besides, with Liu Biao in the north to contain Sun Jian, he did not dare to use troops on a large scale. We stationed troops in Dongting Lake, continued to train troops, built warships, and strengthened our strength. ”

Jiang Qin thought for a while and said, "General, it's already winter, and there is not enough food on the island, do you want to send someone back to Yizhou to bring some grain from Yizhou?" Otherwise, there is no food on the island, and ships need to be sent out to plunder. There are too many soldiers in our army, and it is no longer useful to raid some small places, unless we attack large cities, we can ensure that food and grass are continuous. ”

Gan Ning thought for a while and said: "Yizhou is flourishing under the governance of the lord, and has hoarded countless grains, we will send three big warships back to Yizhou to transport some grain back." ”

In the winter of last year, Wang Can attacked Liu Yan, and there were only three big warships under Gan Ning's command.

But after a year, there were already five large warships, ten medium-sized warships, and 30 small warships. Compared to last year, the number of warships has almost doubled. This has to be said to be a very powerful number for the water army under Gan Ning's command, which shows that Gan Ning and others have worked hard.

"Report!"

Just as the three of them were discussing things, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall.

A soldier ran in quickly, and after entering the hall, the soldier slammed down on one knee and said with a fist: "General, the Yizhou envoy has arrived and is waiting outside the camp." ”

When Gan Ning heard this, he hurriedly got up.

He glanced at each other with Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, led people out of the camp, and welcomed the envoys of Yizhou into the hall.

The two sides exchanged politeness, and the envoy from Yizhou handled the task of the trip. The Yizhou envoy took out a letter and handed it to Gan Ning, and gave Gan Ning three seals, namely Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin. After completing the task, the Yizhou envoy refused Gan Ning's retention, left the island directly, and returned to Yizhou with his entourage.

Gan Ning sent someone to send the envoy away, and only then did he open the envelope and carefully read the contents of the letter.

"Whew! Call! ”

He looked at the contents of the letter, a look of joy on his face, and his breathing became rapid.

Gan Ning clenched his fists, slammed his fist on the desk, and shouted: "Good, good, great." He grinned, and happily handed the envelope in his hand to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin for the two to watch. He reached out and took out the seal that belonged to him, and carefully examined it, with a cheerful expression on his face.

After reading the contents of the letter, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin stood up and arched their hands: "Congratulations to the general!" ”

After Gan Ning heard this, he smiled and quipped: "Do you continue to call the general?" ”

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the teacher!" ”

In Wang Can's letter, Gan Ning's official position has been changed from general to division commander, with the rank of colonel, commanding the Yizhou Naval Army, and becoming the justifiable commander of the naval army in Wang Can's army.

As for Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, they both have the official rank of brigade commander, and their military ranks are both majors, and their positions are lower than those of Gan Ning.

According to the normal establishment, the 5,000 naval army under Gan Ning still needs to be equipped with a chief of staff and a political commissar before it can be considered complete. However, when the navy was first established, Wang Can did not have so many talents under his command, so Gan Ning directly commanded the navy. This situation can only be implemented in a short period of time, and it will definitely change in the future.

After Gan Ning was appointed, he was extremely excited.

The reason for this is that, on the one hand, he was appointed as a colonel and commander of the navy, and on the other hand, there are two division commanders under Wang Can, except for him, the commander of the navy, only Zhao Yun is the division commander. In other words, the other generals in Yizhou all have lower official positions than him, which is why Gan Ning is most excited.

After being happy, Gan Ning said again; "When the navy was first established, it was still far from the goal set by the lord, especially the number of the navy, which could only reach the establishment of a brigade, and it was too far from a division."

In the letter, Wang Can told Gan Ning about all the preparations.

After the reform of the military system, there is an approximate limit on the number of soldiers at each level in the army, such as 20 to 30 for a platoon, 100 for a company, 300 for a battalion, 1,000 for a regiment, 3,000 to 5,000 for a brigade, and 10,000 to 15,000 for a division......

For each rank, the number of soldiers is allowed to deviate to a certain extent according to the actual situation of each rank. However, Gan Ning led a division, but there were only 5,000 soldiers, which was indeed too few.

When Jiang Qin heard this, he shook his head and said: "Division commander, the food that can be supplied in the granary allows the soldiers under our command to only keep about 5,000 people, although the warships can continue to increase, but the soldiers cannot continue to increase, once the number of people exceeds the bottom line of bearing, they cannot stay on the island, they can only send troops to attack the city, in order to develop more soldiers." ”

Zhou Tai served as the brigade commander, and he was very happy in his heart. He clenched his fists and waved his hand, saying, "Let's take a city, and then we can continue to develop." ”

When Gan Ning heard this, he shook his head and said, "No, if you send troops directly, it will be too showy." Although we have the strength and the ability to storm the city, now is not the time to send troops, we must wait for the main army to leave Jingzhou, which is the time for us to be reckless. Since it is impossible to increase the number of soldiers, the number of soldiers is suppressed to about 5,000, but the soldiers must continue to train, so that 5,000 soldiers can become the elite of the elite with one as ten. ”

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin nodded, their faces excited and full of energy. Last year, they were still nine **, but now they have become a general, which is incredible.

……

When Gan Ning's appointment was issued, the appointments of all the generals under Wang Can were also conveyed through Cheng Yu.

Zhao Yun was the first to receive the appointment and became the only colonel and division commander in Yizhou.

Immediately after Zhao Yun's appointment was issued, the appointments of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were also conveyed, and the two became lieutenant colonels and brigade commanders, although Pei Yuanshao had a lot of complaints about this, but he could only accept it, because the army was a place where strength was respected, and if the ability was not strong and the martial arts were not high, they could only be suppressed.

With the ability of the two of them, being able to serve as a lieutenant colonel brigade commander is already Wang Can's special care.

When Yan Yan received the appointment, he was training soldiers.

His official rank was not low, he was appointed brigade commander of a major.

In this regard, Yan Yan was very happy, because he had not been obedient to Wang Can for a long time, and he had become a brigade commander, which was already very favorable. However, when Yan Yan learned of Huang Zhong's appointment, he had a lot of complaints in his heart, because Huang Zhong was appointed as a lieutenant colonel and brigade commander, which was half a cut higher than his grade.

For this reason, Yan Yan fought with Huang Zhong, but was defeated by Huang Zhong, and his heart was a little more comfortable.

Among the people who followed Wang Can, the lowest official position was Lu Meng.

He was appointed captain battalion commander, a very low rank, but Lu Meng was not angry.

Because up to now, Lu Meng has not been crowned, a captain battalion commander who is less than sixteen years old, everyone understands that Lu Meng has a bright future in the future, no one dares to despise Lu Meng, and Lu Meng is still Wang Can's disciple.

Gao Shunyuan was in Hanzhong, and he was appointed relatively late, and he was appointed as a colonel and brigade commander.

It can be said that Gao Shun's official position is second only to Zhao Yun under Wang Can, although Gao Shun's official position is only a brigade commander, but his military rank is not low, and he is on an equal footing with Zhao Yun, both of whom are colonels. After the appointment of all important generals is issued, the junior officers are recommended by the senior officers, and there is no need for Cheng Yu to personally verify with Wang Can before the appointment is issued.

When the official positions of important military generals under Wang Can's command changed, Wang Can's personal guard Dian Wei also changed and became the head of the garrison regiment with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

After Dian Wei, Wang Yue's identity also changed and he became the director of the Intelligence Bureau.

However, Wang Can did not copy the director and minister, because it was too troublesome and complicated. He directly hung Wang Yue with the rank of lieutenant colonel, giving Wang Yue enough face. Not only that, but the nine disciples under Wang Yue's sect have also become captains, and they are only one step away from becoming majors.

The last appointment was the appointment of the craftsman's workshop.

Although Mo Yan, Ma Jun, and Pu Yuan are no longer in the establishment, Wang Can also stuffed Mo Yan and others into the army establishment, let Mo Yan hang the title of lieutenant colonel, and let Ma Jun and Pu Yuan hang the title of major, which can be described as a moment of honor and very preferential treatment, such a military rank is enough to prove the importance of the craftsman's workshop.

Since then, Wang Can has completed reforms.

Whether it is the establishment of generals in the army, or the guards who protect Wang Can's safety, or the hero building responsible for investigating intelligence, or the craftsman workshop responsible for forging weapons, all of them have a new look and new positions. Although some official positions are not compatible, the purpose that Wang Can wants to achieve has been accomplished.

The military system under Wang Can is clearer and more reasonable. However, due to the beginning of the change of the military system, many personnel cannot be fully equipped, and enough time is needed for development.
