Yu Xinnian said: "There are a total of 1,030 people in the whole battalion. Among them, there were 722 foot soldiers, 117 cavalry, 49 artillerymen, 81 chariot soldiers, and 61 commanders' own soldiers. ”

He flipped the page and continued: "The battalion has a total of 141 three-coin bird guns, 96 Western guns, 70 fast guns, and 44 three-eyed guns. There are two No. 4 Franc machines and 11 gametes. 248 bows and crossbows. 199 horses ......"

Su Chengyu knew that there were nearly 180 horses he brought from Fujian and captured in Qingliu, which means that Yu Xinbu originally had less than 20 horses!

In addition, this fast gun sounded unfamiliar to him, and after careful questioning, he realized that it was an old-fashioned musket, and it was still equipped with front-line combat troops.

"There are 5 cars of all kinds. 107 rattan plates, 119 spears, single knife ......"

Su Chengyu listened patiently, and sighed with emotion in his heart, just with this state of armament, if he encounters the same number, no, even half of the Qing army may be difficult to win.

"Due to the large number of soldiers and the chaotic establishment, I discussed with Mr. Liu Bai and the Zhu family and drafted a reorganized article." Yu Xin handed over another piece of paper, "Please take a look at Your Highness." ”

Su Chengyu glanced at Yu Xin's reorganization plan, which was a common battalion formation habit in the Ming army, and it was not suitable for the new training and combat methods at all.

He took out a pen and paper, calculated according to the number of people reported by Yu Xin just now, and calculated it according to his newly formulated troop establishment plan, and then asked Yu Xin to call all the principal officers to announce the new troop establishment.

"The new army of Longwei will be a completely different new army from the past, and the equipment and tactics will be completely different from the past. In line with the new tactics, the team formation must also be completely new. ”

He glanced at the surprised expressions of the officers and continued: "The whole battalion is divided into three parts: infantry, cavalry, and artillery, supplemented by transportation, picket, engineer, doctor, miscellaneous and other arms.

"The basic establishment unit of all arms is the 'team', which consists of platoon, company, battalion, and regiment, with a total of five levels.

"Infantry: 6 men per team, 1 person in the management team.

"Every 3 teams are a platoon, with a total of 21 people, and there are 1 platoon chief, platoon deputy, and 1 instructor.

"Every 3 platoons are a company, with a total of 72 people, including 1 company commander, 1 company deputy, 1 herald, 2 drummers, and 3 company guards.

"Every 7 companies are a battalion, with a total of 560 people, including 1 battalion commander, 1 battalion deputy, 1 staff officer, 1 quartermaster, 1 drum and bugle officer, 3 heralds, and 10 battalion guards. The total number of officers and soldiers in the first battalion was 578.

"Cavalry: 5 men per team, 1 person in the management team.

"Every 3 teams are a platoon, with a total of 18 people, and there are 1 platoon chief, platoon deputy, and 1 instructor.

"Every 3 platoons are a company, with a total of 63 people, including 1 company commander, 1 company deputy, 1 herald, 2 drummers, and 3 company guards.

"Every 7 companies are a battalion, with a total of 497 people, including 1 battalion commander, 1 battalion deputy, 1 staff officer, 1 quartermaster, 1 drum and bugle officer, 3 heralds, and 10 battalion guards. The total number of officers and soldiers in the first battalion is 515.

"Artillery: 9 people per team, 1 person in the management team.

"Every 3 teams are a platoon, with a total of 30 people, and there are 1 platoon chief, platoon deputy, and 1 instructor.

"Every 3 platoons are a company, with a total of 99 people, including 1 company commander, 1 company deputy, 1 herald, and 3 company guards. The total number of officers and soldiers of the first company is 104. For the time being, the artillery will only go to the artillery company, and then build an artillery battalion when there are more artillery.

"The Longwei New Army is temporarily organized into one infantry battalion and two infantry companies. Two cavalry companies. An artillery battery. A transport platoon. A platoon of sappers. Two pickets. Two medical corps.

Su Chengyu saw that these officers looked like they were listening to the heavens, so he took the manuscript he had written to them, "Go and copy a few copies." He continued, "In addition, in the future, the new army of Longwei will use a new military rank system.

"Officers are divided into four ranks: general, colonel, lieutenant, and sergeant from top to bottom. Each level is divided into upper, middle, and lower levels. Temporarily coexisting with the imperial court rank. ”

He took out another soldier rating standard and handed it to Yu Xin and the others, "As for the non-commissioned soldiers, they are divided into four levels: first-class soldiers, first-class soldiers, second-class soldiers, and third-class soldiers. All non-commissioned officers will be classified into private 1 to 3 according to their physical fitness, combat skills, and professional knowledge. And a senior soldier must have military merit to be promoted.

"You recently conducted an assessment of the whole camp according to this standard. In the future, the salaries of non-commissioned officers of different ranks will no longer be the same. ”

Su Chengyu paused for a moment, allowing these officers to digest what he said, and then continued: "After the non-commissioned officers have completed the rating, you will arrange the specific personnel according to the troop establishment plan I just set. It is necessary to ensure that there is a balance between the superior and inferior soldiers of each company and each platoon. In addition, the original royal palace guards were separately organized into a personal soldier company. ”

Although several officers shouted "obey orders," almost every officer muttered a little in their hearts. In addition to the rating of the soldiers, they also slightly agreed, and most of them felt that this young county king who had never been on the battlefield was just talking on paper.

Su Chengyu didn't expect them to understand the new plan immediately, just follow his orders for now. In the future, after actual combat again and again, they will understand the scientific nature of such a troop formation.

The next day, the rating of the soldiers of the Dragon Guard Battalion was in full swing.

In fact, at breakfast time, some soldiers noticed that a stone tablet more than one person high appeared in the middle of the school field. A literate soldier stepped forward to identify it, and it was engraved with "three disciplines and six attentions".

Of course, this is from Su Chengyu's cottage. He knew very well that the chaotic situation of the present day was similar to the environment of the revolutionaries of those days, and that if they had come up with something that worked, why not just borrow it.

However, he still made a lot of changes to the details, such as changing "pay attention to your attitude of speaking" to "no robbery". Now it is common for soldiers to rob the people, often the people are robbed once, and the Ming army comes to rob again. Instead of asking for an attitude to speak, it is better to solve the fatal problem first. In addition, in order to reduce the difficulty of memorizing propaganda, he also changed the eight points of attention to six.

The soldier continued: "Three disciplines, first, all actions are under command. Second, do not take a meter and a line from the masses. 3. All seizures shall be returned to the public.

"Six attention, first, no robbery. 2. You have to pay for buying things. 3. Compensation for damaged things. Fourth, do not hit and scold people. Fifth, do not damage crops. 6. Do not molest women. ”

After hearing this, the soldiers immediately lost interest. Everyone thinks this kind of thing is a joke! The soldier is so paid, how can he live without robbing the people?

The soldiers did not take this "three disciplines and six attentions" to heart at all. Recently, the food has been very good, and everyone is looking forward to the meal.

In addition, there is a review after the meal, so how can you care about any discipline. According to the officer, the salary will be paid according to the results of the rating. The big-headed soldiers all guessed that this was another trick to deduct their salaries, but they had to prepare seriously and strive for a higher rank.

Wang Keqian: Wang Zhixian has never been so busy in the past. That day, Su Chengyu asked him to assist in setting up a missionary office, and he immediately summoned the Song Jiaoyu of his county, first told him in detail about the detailed rules for the establishment of the missionary office, and then asked him to gather the students to announce the selection of missionary officials in Longnan County.

And he himself took a few people and began to look around the county to see suitable places for missionary offices.

Song Jiaoyu received Wang Zhixian's instructions, but he was very puzzled in his heart, in the past, the new officials were all directly appointed by the ministry, but this mission office actually conducted its own recruitment, and all the positions were determined by the results of examinations and interviews, and he had never heard of such strange things.

Although he felt strange, Wang Zhixian still had to do what he had to do, and as soon as he returned to the school, he asked people to gather the students of the county.

"At the bego of the Cabinet, a mission office was built in Longnan. Lack of reality: one chief propaganda officer, one public opinion officer, four chief writers, and fourteen missionary officers. He saw that there was a lot of discussion below, and continued with a dry cough, "The chief missionary has taught the nine grades," reading this, his eyelids jumped, he has no rank in this teaching, what kind of chief missionary is actually the ninth grade!

He continued: "Both the chief writer and the missionary are prepared with nine products. Seeing that there was another discussion below, he knocked on the table, "This Beijiu Rank is a new grade just added to the imperial court, but below the Nine Grades, it is a real imperial court grade." After saying this, his eyelids jumped again, and for a moment the idea of going to the mission house for a try came to mind.

Among them, the mission is responsible for visiting the villages and teaching the court to the people. The chief writer is responsible for organizing and writing mission manuscripts. Chief Missionary ......"

As soon as the group of students at the bottom heard that it was a high-ranking position, they immediately lost interest. Most of them are talents, and there are even a lot of children, which round will get them for the position of rank?

But after the Song Jiaoyu announced the selection rules, these people started thinking again - according to this rule, they can refer to it if they don't have fame, why don't they try it? At that moment, they each went home, picked up the sage book and reviewed it seriously.
