After Li Ming returned to Shenyang, he did not return to Liaoyang, but continued to stay in the Military Commission. At present, the work of the Military Commission is relatively large, because of the invasion of the eight European countries, the company's original plan to go south can only be hastily implemented.

As a result, the strength of the Far Eastern Military Commission became overstretched, so the Military Commission began a new round of military expansion. The first is the recruitment of recruits for eight overseas brigades, six independent daring brigades, and four garrison brigades.

The source of recruits for the eight overseas brigades is mainly the original Dongjiang Town soldiers and ruffians, plus the Liao people who used to be the Ming army, and the thousands of Guanning iron cavalry that Zu Dashou brought with the surrendered Tartars.

However, there are more than 30,000 people in the eight brigades, which also makes the Military Commission spend a lot of time. But this situation was soon changed, the Ming army of the Guanning Army stationed in Ningjin, heard that the Far East was going to recruit troops, and many soldiers and ruffians secretly escaped the Daling River, and even many of them brought their families, and they wanted to join the Far East Army.

The Guan Ning army, from the commander Wu Xiang to the ordinary soldiers, all knew that the Far East was strong, anyway, these soldiers had already thought about it, once one day the Far East came to fight, they would directly kneel and surrender.

But what they envy the most is the treatment of the Far Eastern Army, as long as they are soldiers in the Far East, they will be paid enough money every month, from food to clothing. And if you look at what people eat, it is said that you can eat meat every day.

Although the salary of the Guanning Army is good in the Ming Army, compared with the Far Eastern Army, it is simply heaven and earth. In the Ming army, except for the officials, ordinary sergeants and low-level generals are also hard, and no one should laugh at anyone.

The Far Eastern Army also often did business with the Guanning Army, sending ruffians from overseas corps to publicize the ordinary generals of the Guanning Army. The ruffians of these overseas corps and the Guanning Army belong to the same Liaodong people, and they are also considered Liao troops, and they have a common language.

They used to shake this time. The was so loud that Guan Ningjun and the turtles were stupid. Looking at the armor and equipment on people's bodies, don't mention how envious they are.

Therefore, in the past two years, the Ning Army often ran over from Ningjin, but at that time, the Far Eastern Army did not expand its army. After the news of the large-scale expansion of the Far East reached Ningjin, the low-level generals of the Guanning Army were immediately excited. They secretly crossed the Daling River in groups of three or five. Went to defect to the Far Eastern Army.

Gao Jianguo and Li Ming, who were worried about the source of soldiers in the overseas brigade, were also very excited when they heard the news. The overseas corps is a force stationed overseas in the Far East, which is different from field divisions and garrison brigades, because it mainly faces foreign natives, so it must have a certain fierce temperament.

In addition, they are all veterans who have seen battles with the Tartars, and after basic training in the Far East, their discipline and military appearance have been strengthened, and their equipment has been strengthened, so that their combat effectiveness has increased exponentially. So the Ming army in Liaodong was ruffian. It is the most suitable source of troops for overseas corps.

Gao Jianguo immediately ordered the garrison area of the Daling River to send a large number of barges on the river deck to cruise to the west bank of the Daling River, and as long as he found the Guanning army defecting to the Far East, he would take them over.

The news of a large number of deserters in the Guanning Army also spread to Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui and his son. The two of them were furious, and in less than two months, Guan Ningjun actually escaped with thousands of people.

They had no choice but to strengthen their garrison. The troops were ordered to strictly investigate the deserters, and the generals who tried to escape were caught and killed on the spot. Even so. Still did not stop the momentum of the Ming army's escape.

In fact, the good treatment of the Far Eastern Army is only one of the reasons that attracted them to defect, and the Far East is too strong, and these soldiers of the Ming Army are like a mirror in their hearts, and the Far East will fight sooner or later, rather than surrender at that time. It's better to go to the company now, maybe you can have a future.

With the defection of a large number of Guanning troops, the Far Eastern Military Commission's eight overseas Lushun were formed. They took a boat to the training center in Jeju Island, where they will undergo five months of basic training.

The Far Eastern Military Commission has three training centers, located on Jeju Island, Shenyang and Vladivostok. Jeju Island is a recruit training center for the Admiralty and the Overseas Corps. Shenyang is a training center for recruits for field divisions and garrison brigades. Vladivostok is the training center of the major military academies of the Military Commission, the non-commissioned officer training school, the technical arms and the Ministry of the Air Force.

Recruits from the eight overseas brigades newly formed by the Overseas Corps. When they entered the training center on Jeju Island, a large number of grassroots cadres and non-commissioned officers of overseas brigades had been training for several months at the Vladivostok Non-commissioned Officer Training School and the Army Command School.

These people are all excellent backbones of the overseas corps. Among them were Wang Bo, Zhang Tiezhui, Zhao Si and others, who were awarded the rank of second lieutenant or lieutenant after completing their training, and served as company-level commanders in the grassroots units in the expanded overseas corps.

Don't look at the difference between the company level and the platoon level is only one level, but the actual meaning is very different. Because of the large shortage of grassroots cadres in various units of the Far Eastern Army, except for the elite field divisions, the platoon-level cadres of the rest of the units are all non-commissioned officers. Their becoming company-level cadres of the Far Eastern Army means that they have entered the ranks of grassroots cadres of the Far Eastern Military Commission, and their future prospects are limitless.

After completing their basic training, the eight newly trained overseas brigades will be separated from the original eight overseas brigades and reorganized. Half of the new veterans of each overseas brigade will be stationed in Luzon, the islands of the South Seas, Ceylon, the southern coast of India, Jeju Island, Tanegashima Island, and Ryukyu.

The Admiralty's task of training recruits this year is also quite arduous, with 4,000 pirates under Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang, 3,000 under Song Shiping in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and 3,000 selected from among immigrants, and 2,000 Chinese sailors from overseas, for a total of 12,000 people.

At present, the Admiralty has a small number of ships, and can only choose recruits from among the pirates, because they drift on the sea all year round and the training cycle is relatively short. And they have all experienced battles, and can quickly adapt to future naval battles.

Like the Army, the Admiralty has also removed a large number of grassroots cadres and non-commissioned officers from various ships and went to the Admiralty's Ship Command College and the Navy Non-commissioned Officer School, which are short-term crash courses with only one year of study.

Among them are He Wu and Liu Shouyou, as well as a large number of outstanding officers and men of various ships of the Navy, who will also become grassroots cadres of the Navy Department of the Military Commission after graduation. The naval forces will also be reorganized on a large scale, so that the old can lead the new ones with the new, and strive to build up combat effectiveness at an early date.

The field division was also expanded accordingly, with the addition of one brigade of combat units. And the artillery regiment was expanded into an artillery brigade with two artillery regiments. The engineer battalion was also expanded into a regimental unit. Other combat logistics support units have also been expanded accordingly.

The four new garrison brigades will be selected from among the Shanxi and Shaanxi refugees, and will be replaced with the garrison brigades in Vladivostok and Sakhalin in the future. The establishment has not increased, and the establishment is still six garrison battalions and one machine gun battalion. (To be continued......)
