Chapter 889: New Expansion (2)
After deciding on the adjustment plan for the seven standing forces, Masahiro began to consider the needs of the expansion of the four standing naval forces. At present, the first standing naval army has 1,200 standing personnel, and the remaining three standing naval forces have 800 personnel each, making a total of 3,600 personnel.
Originally, these standing units of the navy did not stipulate the specific types of troops in a squadron, but after experiencing several water battles, Masara felt that it was better to specify the comparison of various arms of the navy, and at the same time take advantage of this time to let them carry out good training between the arms, so that the combat effectiveness of the navy troops will be greatly improved. However, because Masara was not very good at water warfare, he also found Li Huamei, Murakami Takeyoshi, Guna Tong and other major generals of the navy to discuss.
After some deliberations, Masahiro decided to retain the 1,200 members of the Standing Detachment of the First Naval Army, while the size of the remaining three Standing Detachments of the Navy's Fleet was increased to 1,200 men, so that the expanded Naval Army would have 4,800 standing troops.
In addition, Masashi also made a specific division of the arms of each standing naval army, including 400 pikemen, 400 archers, 350 grenadiers (also shield soldiers), and 50 iron artillerymen. The main role of the grenadier is to throw cannons at the enemy ship, at present, with the equipment level of the Luo family's warship, the grenadier can only be thrown by hand, the Luo family weapon workshop will start to study the throwing weapons that can be installed on the ship in the next few days, in addition, these grenadiers also have a wooden shield or rattan card in their hands, which is used to provide cover for themselves and other soldiers to avoid being hit by enemy long-range weapons.
As for the last iron artillery, it was naturally to increase the attack power of the Luo family's warships in water battles. Originally, Masahiro planned to deploy a larger iron artillery team for each naval army. However, with the current production capacity and logistical support capacity of the Roche Iron Cannon Workshop (mainly the support of gunpowder and bullets). Then take into account the configuration needs of other teams. It can only reach the current configuration of 50 people per team. But such a scale is already second to none in the Warring States Navy at this time.
In view of the situation of the cavalry, Masato also found the main cavalry generals such as Isono Yuanchang, Takasaka Masanobu, and Akaxue Mitsukiyoshi to discuss, and the final expansion plan was:
The original Luo family's first standing cavalry team was upgraded from 400 to 500. The number of horses was also raised from four hundred to five hundred; The second standing cavalry team was increased from the original 100 standing reserves and 100 war horses to 500 standing reserves and 500 war horses, so that the Luo family had two standing cavalry teams of 500 standing reserves and 500 war horses each, a total of 1,000 people.
The standing cavalry team was determined, followed by the standing iron artillery team, at present, the Luo family only has a standing iron artillery team of 400 people, in order to further adapt to the needs of the Luo family's multi-front operations in the future, Zhengliang decided to add a new standing iron artillery team and a large barrel team this time. The new Standing Iron Artillery Team was named the Second Standing Iron Artillery Team, and the standing quota was also 400 people. As for the newly added big team, the quota is 100 people. They will be responsible for the operation of the only five large cylinders currently in the Roche warehouse.
In terms of the standing samurai team, there was originally a quota of 400 people. He was promoted to 600 by Masahiro, and at the same time, the samurai team was divided into 200 spear warriors, 200 bow and arrow warriors, and 200 iron cannon warriors.
As Masayo's personal guard, the Cloak Crowd still maintains a quota of 100 people, and it is divided into a spear cloak crowd of 50 people and a katana cloak crowd of 50 people, and all the cloak crowds need to be proficient in horseback riding skills first, so the cloak crowd is a war horse in hand.
In addition to the above-mentioned adjustments, the number of standing detectives has been increased from the original 250 to 300, and Zhengliang has a more detailed division of labor, they will be divided into two parts, and some of them will be dispersed to the various teams of the Luo family and the Jucheng in turn, responsible for the daily investigation between the teams, the Jucheng and Zhengliang, and the daily investigation between the various teams. The remaining part will follow Masahiro's side at all times, and be responsible for reconnaissance and surveillance protection around Masaliang.
Similar to the standing detective, as the standing herald of the Luo family, the number of standing heralds was also increased from the original 100 to 200, and then it was divided into two parts, one followed by Zhengliang's side, and was responsible for Zhengliang's residence and the daily transmission of orders and contacts with all parts of the territory; The rest of the part is assigned to each team in turn, responsible for the contact with the lord or the contact between the teams. Under normal circumstances, without the permission of Masatoshi, the various teams are not allowed to bypass these heralds to communicate with each other. Similar to the scouts, in order to avoid the bribes of the heralds, these heralds will be rotated from time to time.
The above is the adjustment made by Masaliang for the Luo family's standing preparation, as for the remaining Black Hawk Ninja Army, it is not that Masara is unwilling to increase the quota of one hundred and fifty Black Hawk Ninja Army, the problem is that these Black Hawk Ninja are all cultivated from the Black Hawk Ninja Village of the Luo family. And it is not easy to cultivate a qualified ninja, judging from the current population and training situation of the Black Hawk Ninja Village, it is already very good to be able to keep this ninja team of one hundred and fifty people unchanged. These Black Hawk ninjas are also divided into two parts, one is to stay in the mountain forest nest near Hizen Kunishi Mt. Mountain Castle, and while being responsible for the safety of the lair, they accept tasks such as monitoring the territory stability, retainer surveillance, intelligence spying and other tasks; The remaining part is to follow Zhengliang at all times and be responsible for Zhengliang's safety protection.
Finally,There's also a quota of fifty people for the Red Ghost Ji Fan Team under the direct jurisdiction of Masaara's concubine Mei Ji.,In Masa's view,,This team is completely Mei Ji's nonsense.,Although this time in the riot pacification of Chikuzen Country、Bunzen Country and other places,This team played a certain role.,But Masara just included this team in the standing sequence.,To ensure its legitimacy (without the permission of Masara and the Military Division's Pavilion,No matter who you are, you must abide by the laws of the territory.,You can't have more than fifteen armed forces), But the supply of this team is still in charge of the Luo family, which is controlled by Zhengliang's wives. Of course, in such a situation, this team has also become the escort of several wives of Zhengliang. (To be continued......)
