Zhao Jin laughed again, he didn't expect to think too much, this gift is not a bad thing, the foreigner Louis and the two firearms craftsmen who were arrested, after all, there is a layer apart, if there is a Han craftsman, it would be the best.

However, Zhao Jin also has doubts, how far can Han craftsmen know how to know how to make firearms, will it be similar to the master who invented the gun carriage and gun carriage in his own house? Although it is also very valuable, it does not help much in the direction he needs, Zhao Jin immediately reacted to another thing, and asked, "You said that this person's surname is Zhu?" ”

This surname Zhu is a national surname in Daming, many of them are first-class clans, this Daming clan and Xuzhou really can't go all the way, Xu Housheng nodded with a smile and said: "The surname is Zhu, called Zhu Xingshu, he is really from the clan, he said that he was from the side of the King of Chu, but after a long time, he has not been knighted, and he can also go out of the city to make a living, big brother, you can rest assured, this person gritted his teeth when he mentioned everything in Daming, and hated it to the bones." ”

As the Daming clan hates Daming so much, and as a clan, he has actually been to Nanyang and knows how to manufacture firearms, this Zhu Xingshu is really interesting, Zhao Jin couldn't help laughing, Xu Housheng said jokingly: "This person is really interesting, brother-in-law, do you want to meet him?" ”

"When things are done, the expansion and restructuring will start soon, you settle them first, and if you don't meet, you won't delay them in studying firearms, I still have the old saying, spend money to save plans, but in firearms, spend what should be spent." Zhao Jin said with a smile.

After spending the Mid-Autumn Festival in August at home, Zhao Jin asked his parents to stay here in Hejiazhuang to see his granddaughter and grandson, and then take care of Mu Shulan, who had already shown his belly, he was going to live in the council hall during this time, because this expansion and restructuring is a first-class event, and there can be no mistakes, omissions and delays, and for the current Zhao Ziying, there is no time to calmly expand and change, but to finish these in operation, and not to make a mess, which is really heavy.

The first thing to do is to upgrade the Jiading regiment to the Jiading brigade, and the regiment is being promoted to the brigade, and there is no objection to this name after it is proposed, because this brigade is also used in the ancient words and ancient words of the army, so that everyone is more surprised that this upgrade is not carried out by the teams together, but starts with Chen Sheng's first regiment, Chen Sheng's Jiading brigade has four regiments under it, the brigade is directly under the jurisdiction of the first regiment, the first regiment spear family Ding 1,000, the fire gun family Ding 400, the flag bearer 3 people, the drummer 3 people, the trumpeter 2 people, the 234th regiment, each regiment spear family Ding 800, There are 100 gunners or archers, two standard-bearers, two drummers, and one trumpeter.

Equipped with firearms, spears, bows and arrows, and artillery, this is the standard of the Zhao battalion, and there are some differences between each regiment in the armor, the first regiment has all the armor, and the remaining three regiments do each regiment three companies with full armor, and the helmets are all equipped.

Then it was attached to the first brigade with a company of artillery, six three-pounder guns, and two companies of horseback riding with a total of 200 horsemen, which were all under the direct jurisdiction of the brigade, and were commanded and matched during the battle.

The first brigade has brigade chief, regimental principal and regimental deputy, company positive, company deputy, team positive, team deputy, the first regiment only has the regimental deputy, the regiment is concurrently served by the brigade, the two regiments practice the heavy dà team is under the jurisdiction of the local Yunshan line in peacetime, and the brigade is under the command in wartime.

The best regimental training companies will be broken up and directly fill the vacancies of the first regiment, and the rest of the companies will be combined to become the second, third, and fourth regiments.

The regimental chiefs, regimental deputies, company principals and team leaders of the three new family regiments are all served by the pro-guard team and the three regiments with outstanding and meritorious service at all levels, while the company deputy and the deputy team are demoted by half a grade from the original regimental training company.

In this expansion, in addition to the horse team and internal guards, those who are over 30 years old, and those who are over 26 years old, can no longer serve as family members or team training, but must be transferred to the sequence of patrolmen.

The 1st Regiment of the 1st Brigade was stationed in the area of the Surabaya River near the canal in the southeast of Jining City, 40 li away from Jining City and 60 li away from Ziyang, the capital of Yanzhou, the 2nd Regiment was stationed in a manor somewhere between Juye and Yuncheng, the 3rd Regiment was somewhere between Chengwu, Dingtao, and Juye counties, the 4th Regiment was on the bank of the Beisha River between Teng County and Zou County, the two baggage regimental training brigades were together with the 1st Regiment, and the horsemen and artillery companies were also in the same camp with the 1st Regiment.

The order for Chen Sheng's first regiment to be promoted to the first brigade was the first to be given, and the whole of Xuzhou began to be busy with this matter, and the regimental training was promoted to the family member was the easiest thing, and the selected companies went to the designated place to assemble, and then there was a Yunshan line to transport equipment and supplies.

Even the Cai family's fleet on the Yellow River stopped all shipping business at this time, but was on standby at the ferry to transport the various units of the 1st Brigade that had been grouped across the river to the north.

The number of fast horse messengers sent by Yunshan to various places increased greatly, and Geng Mancang on the side of Yutou Town began to be extremely busy, and such a large team went to Shandong, and it was necessary to prepare sufficient rations and forage.

In addition to the allocation of materials from various places in Yunshan Xing, the people in charge of all aspects of the Zhao Zi Battalion were very busy, and they sent orders to various places one after another to prepare barracks and various needs for the newly formed First Brigade.

No matter how busy it is, the defense responsibility of the first regiment where Chen Sheng is now called the first brigade is still there, and the Shandong side needs a sufficient force to defend it, so the formation process of the first brigade has not delayed anything, and the personnel and materials needed have been continuously gathered, organized into various regiments and companies, and then pulled north.

The process of marshalling and preparation itself is already shocking, so thousands of families, to prepare armor, grain and grass, barracks, to drive to Shandong need carriages, horses and boats, need to be picked up along the way, if it is the Ming government and local government to handle this matter, the fastest will take a few months, slow a year is also possible, and from top to bottom everyone will reach out to deduct, the local will be bitter, the newly formed soldiers and horses will also harass the people, and even commit crimes.

But the Zhao Ziying is so simple and fast, almost flat ground generation, the order is issued, less than half a month, the team has been assembled, and now the Yellow River has been crossed, it is said that the leading horse team has entered Shandong.

With such a strong organization and mobilization, and such an astonishing efficiency, anyone who knows a little about it will be shocked by this speed, and if you see the march and momentum of this first brigade with your own eyes, you will be even more shocked, this is not at all like a battalion that has just been formed, but like a strong army that has been fighting for several years or even ten years.

However, there are only a few people who can see these, these years are noble and lowly, heavy on literature and light on martial arts, even in the martial Xuzhou, there are not many people who can understand, and those who understand are often already in the Zhao Zi camp.

What really shocked everyone was the order itself, this one brigade was nearly 5,000 soldiers, plus the baggage team, it was nearly a few thousand, and this was still the family of the Zhao Zi battalion, not the kind of infantry soldiers of the official army, not to mention the six artillery, 200 horseback soldiers, nearly 1,000 firearms, hundreds of archers, if you count the armor equipment, it is even more amazing, almost half of the whole body iron armor.

Just the numbers on the paper are already shocking, the officers and soldiers of the general army and the deputy generals, a few of the guards and soldiers around them can wear full-body iron armor, and those who have horses are good to say, and the infantry guards without horses can have half-body armor to say that the main general is generous, and this first brigade is more than 2,000 people with such equipment!

Chen Sheng's subordinates are directly in charge of nearly 7,000 people, in the Ming military town system, if it is not for the border generals of the nine sides, as the general soldier, it is only about 4,000 to 6,000, and most of these soldiers are full, and they also hold weapons, and they can also go into battle to kill, but they can only put a position to fight a downwind battle, and the real bloody battle depends on the main general and the personal guards around the generals at all levels, and the people of Xuzhou know that Zhao Ziying pays attention to everyone can fight, that family can be stubborn, brave and strong, and the regimental training is not much worse, This Chen Sheng not only has more soldiers and horses than the total army of the Ming Dynasty, but also far more than the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Forming such a large group, and then putting it in Shandong, now the number of troops in Shandong Province is probably only this number, and it is also scattered in various prefectures and counties, what does Zhao Ziying want to do? Is this going to be a rebellion? But if there is to be a rebellion, it should not be so silent, the entire Xuzhou and the territory they control should be mobilized, not so logical, as simple as appointing and dismissing an official in the imperial court.

In the past, what promotions were in the Zhao Ziying, and the people who were close to the Zhao Ziying knew about it, and they would go to the family to congratulate them, this time Chen Sheng was promoted to Luzheng, this name everyone seems to understand whether they understand it or not, but the expansion of the strength of the subordinates tells everyone what kind of promotion is Cheng dù, it is said that the Chen family in Xuzhou City should be in the city, and the people who congratulate and give gifts should have broken through the threshold, but in fact, there are very few people who go to the door, and the people who come to the door are also told that the old lady went to Hejiazhuang and did not see the guests for the time being.

Chen Sheng is about to lead the team north, father and son are about to separate, it is not strange that the father wants to go over to see this, but no one expected Chen Wu to sigh all the way, after seeing Chen Sheng, tears flowed, Chen Wu, who was originally quite rough and happy, grabbed Chen Sheng's hand and couldn't speak, so he looked at it for a long time before he spoke: "Son, let's not follow the Zhao family, let's go to Jiangnan to live a peaceful life, okay?" ”
