Daming Military Empire

Chapter 261

The reorganization of defenders from all over the country into regular legions did not happen overnight. At this moment, apart from the Beijing-Liaoning and Jingdong railways in Ming Dynasty, other places are still at the stage where transportation is basically relying on walking. If they are allowed to gather in the capital, I am afraid that some defenders will celebrate the New Year They were all going to pass on the road, Zhu Cijiong thought about it, and decided to gather in Xiangyang City, which is basically in the center of the current territory of the Ming Dynasty. It saves most of the time for people from all walks of life to travel.

The formation of the regular army is established, and the next step is the reserve army. This reserve army is mainly used to supplement the battle damage, which is the intermediate link between the guards and the regular army. Before the Chongzheng Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty mainly used cold weapons. The Wei Tiao people can almost go into battle after a little practice, but not now. If they don’t know how to shoot, they will have to train for at least a few months. A reserve regiment.

With the reserve army, you can first call up the guards and train the basic operations of muskets and artillery. Once casualties occur in the regular army, you can immediately replenish the battle damage. Moreover, when the imperial court needs a large number of people, you can directly pull the reserve army over. That's enough, it's very convenient, such as disaster relief, such as the excavation of canals in the northwest this time.

As for the main generals of the reserve corps, Zhu Cijiong also thought about it, namely Hong Chengchou, Zuo Liangyu and Wu Sangui. These three people are famous generals in history. clear!
Zhu Cijiong originally wanted to suppress them so that they would never stand up again, but these people have real materials, and now the capital of Houjin has been driven to the Mongolian grassland by him, and the dynasty was proclaimed emperor and the Qing dynasty was established. It can only be disgusting to him, these three people have no chance to show their soft bones, and they have not made any mistakes, so it seems a bit unreasonable to leave them alone.

Especially this Wu Sangui, he was born in a family of generals in western Liaoning, his father was Wu Xiang, the former general of Jinzhou, and his uncle is Zu Dashou, the current commander of the First Army of Dongying. According to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, he should be promoted to the general Soldiers, the problem is that this guy is not only from a good background, but also has real skills. He almost won the championship in the martial arts in the second year of Chongzheng, and he performed very well in a series of battles in Liaodong. If such a general with outstanding talents is not promoted, I am afraid that the generals of the entire Liaodong line will have opinions.

It's all right now, let's directly promote him to be the chief general of the legion, and he has been promoted to the top, everyone should have nothing to say!
But the general of this legion is just a show, and he can't directly participate in the battle. Zhu Cijiong didn't plan to equip them with this equipment. Type flintlock guns and one hundred [-]-type howitzers are enough, and they are all second-hand products eliminated by the first-class army!

These three people have basically been like this in this life. The reserve army does not need to participate in the battle. If they do not participate in the battle, they will not be able to obtain military merit.

The formation of the army was probably determined in this way. The Ming army now has 160 regular regiments and three reserve regiments, with a total of [-] million troops.

Among the first-class regiments are:

The First Corps of the Imperial Guard Commanded by Qin Liangyu;

The Tianxiong Army commanded by Lu Xiangsheng;
Guanning Army under the command of Cao Wenzhao;
Second class regiments are:
The Qin army commanded by Sun Chuanting;

The Liaodong Army commanded by Mangui;

The Dongjiang Army commanded by Mao Wenlong;
The third class regiments are:
The Second Legion of the Praetorian Guard under the command of Skefa;
The First Army Corps of the Frontier Guard Commanded by Cao Wenzhao;

The Second Army of the Frontier Defense Army under the command of Ma Xianglin;
The First Army of the Expeditionary Army under the command of Hou Shilu;

The Second Army of the Expeditionary Army under Commander Qin Yiming;
The Dingliao Army commanded by Qin Gongming;
The Wuwei Army under the command of Li Mingfu;
Reserve regiments are:
The Shaanxi Reserve Corps under the command of Hong Chengchou;

The Shanxi Reserve Corps commanded by Zuo Liangyu;

The Henan Reserve Corps under the command of Wu Sangui;

Zhu Cijiong has also made unified regulations on the equipment of legions at all levels. The specific configuration is:

250 first-class cavalry, [-] artillery, [-] infantry, [-] each of the [-]-type howitzers, [-]-type howitzers, [-]-type howitzers, and [-]-type howitzers. One round rifle, five grenades, and each artilleryman is equipped with a revolver and two grenades.

The second-class regiment has [-] cavalry, [-] artillery, and [-] infantry, equipped with [-] [-]-type howitzers, [-]-type howitzers, and [-]-type howitzers. Each cavalry is equipped with a revolver rifle and five grenades. Each infantryman is equipped with a Type [-] flintlock and five grenades, and each artilleryman is equipped with a revolver and two grenades.

The third-class regiment has [-] artillerymen and [-] infantry, with [-] Type [-] howitzers and [-] Type [-] howitzers each. Each infantryman is equipped with a Type [-] flintlock gun and five grenades. One pistol, two grenades.

Zhu Cijiong also made unified regulations on military ranks and military positions. For convenience and trouble, he shamelessly embezzled the military rank system of later generations, and only added the grades of the Ming Dynasty.

The generals of the legion are collectively referred to as the commander of the legion. The military ranks are all generals, and the epaulets are two bars and three flowers. , the commander of the third-class army is the second-rank three-star general, and the reserve army commander is the second-rank one-star general;
Each legion is divided into two armies, each with 5 horses, and the generals are collectively referred to as army commanders, with the rank of lieutenant general, three grades, two stripes and two flowers on the epaulettes;
Each army is divided into five divisions, each division has 1 horses, and the generals are collectively referred to as division commanders.
Each division is divided into two regiments, each regiment has 5000 troops, the chief is called the regiment leader, the rank of colonel, the fifth grade, and two bars and three stars on the epaulettes;
Each regiment is divided into five battalions, each battalion has 1000 troops, the chief is called the battalion commander, the rank of lieutenant colonel, the sixth rank, two bars and two stars on the epaulettes;

Each battalion is divided into five companies, each company has 200 people and horses, the chief is called the company commander, the rank of major, the seventh rank, two bars and one star on the epaulettes;
Each company is divided into two platoons, each platoon has 100 people, the chief is the platoon leader, the rank of captain, from the seventh rank, and the epaulettes are three stars;
Each platoon is divided into five squads, and each squad has twenty.
Each squad is divided into four corps, with five members in each corps, the chief is the corps leader, the rank of second lieutenant, from the ninth rank, and the epaulets are one bar and one star;
Zhu Cijiong believes that after the reorganization of Ming's army, it can definitely be called a land-hegemony existence. As long as it does not go to war with several powerful countries at the same time, on land, Ming is basically invincible!
