Lord of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Qiang named the version [-] matchlock gun made by the Jinhua Yijun the Jinkai Type [-] matchlock gun, and the version [-] is the Jinkai Type [-] matchlock gun.

Zhang Qiang's musketeers, who are currently in the process of changing their outfits, originally had 3000 soldiers, but after two battles against pirates, they have been sent out continuously. At present, there are still 6000 soldiers in his direct troops in Jinhua Mansion.

Zhang Qiang re-trained them for half a month, and eliminated all the skilled infantry at the bottom. Now the lowest rank soldiers in the direct troops are veteran musketeer soldiers, making his direct troops more elite, leaving 4000 people .

The infantry and musketeers that were eliminated were organized into new units. The new units included infantry, archers, crossbowmen, pikemen, cavalry, heavy soldiers, and engineers, and they were organized into the Jinhua Rebel Army Field Brigade.

The main job is to go out to fight and hand it over to the generals under their command.

Field Brigade [-] Brigade and [-] Brigade are Jinhuafu troops.

The [-]rd brigade of the field brigade and the [-]th brigade are Taizhou troops.

Field Brigade [-]th Brigade, [-]th Brigade Committee is in the state capital.

The [-]th Brigade of the Field Brigade was sent to Wenzhou Prefecture, the [-]th Brigade to Xinghua Prefecture, the [-]th Brigade to Ningbo Prefecture, the [-]th Brigade to Shaoxing Prefecture, the [-]th Brigade to Hangzhou Prefecture, the [-]th Brigade to Jianning Prefecture, and the [-]th Brigade to To Quzhou Prefecture, the [-]th Brigade was dispatched to Guangzhou Prefecture.

Of course, there are not so many elite troops, and there are not so many weapons and equipment. At present, there are only three brigades.

[-] to [-] brigades.

It is to draw out the elite soldiers from the left-behind troops of Jinhua Prefecture. If they want to enter these brigades, they must be skilled soldiers. The general soldiers of the Jinhua Rebel Army can only serve as soldiers of the garrison troops, and some skilled soldiers who have been eliminated can only serve as garrison soldiers. The troops serve as squad leaders, some senior soldiers serve as platoon leaders in the garrison, elite soldiers serve as company commanders, and elite soldiers serve as battalion commanders.

This is the adjusted composition of soldiers in the garrison.

In the field brigade, skilled soldiers are just ordinary soldiers, senior soldiers are just squad leaders, elite soldiers are just platoon leaders, elite soldiers are just company commanders, and professional soldiers are battalion commanders. Zhang Qiang specially selects and trains, or trusts, all previous battles Among them, only brave and decorated professional soldiers can serve as Qianhu.

A field brigade consists of four thousand households, plus a cavalry battalion, an artillery battalion, a supply barracks, an engineering battalion, and a brigade guard cavalry battalion.

The four thousand households are the Qianhu Battalion of the Musketeers, the Qianhu Battalion of the Infantry, the Qianhu Battalion of the Spearmen, and the Qianhu Battalion of the Cavalry.

The supply barracks consisted of hundreds of archers and hundreds of infantry.The engineer battalion is composed of infantry and crossbowmen.

The cavalry battalion is composed of a scout Baihu and a Lancer Baihu.

The cavalry battalion directly under the brigade is composed of the general banner of the messenger, the general banner of the sentinel, and the two general banners of the hunting cavalry to form a hundred households, plus a hundred households of the cavalry.

A total of seven thousand eight hundred troops.

It can be said that this organization is quite large, but it can ensure that when facing the Qing army, a field brigade can directly fight the enemy, or even fight against enemies several times its own.

Such a complete and powerful organization reminded Zhang Qiang of the field brigade of the Japanese invaders in later generations, which was similar to the field brigade of later generations. Zhang Qiang didn't know why he used this name and organization by accident.

These field brigades still use the Jin Kai [-] matchlock guns.

Because the Jinhua Rebel Army produced too many matchlock guns. After destroying his biggest customers, the Portuguese and the Dutch, although the sales of his matchlock guns were taken over by the Spaniards who were fighting the Dutch, they would not always be the same every day. Buying his matchlock guns, the Spaniards can also produce matchlock guns, so Zhang Qiang couldn't help but equip the field brigade with those gold-modified [-]-type matchlock guns that are still in the warehouse of the Jinhua Rebel Army.

He thought about it, the most advanced Gold Kai [-] is better equipped with his own guard brigade.

The Golden Reform [-] has just been finalized, and the output is not too much. He doesn't want his future enemies to use the most advanced weapons, so he created a reorganized army, released the arquebus gunners under his direct control, and handed it over to him. His confidants and generals.

In the Guards Brigade, the squad leader is an elite soldier, the company commander is an elite soldier, the battalion commander is a professional soldier, and Qianhu is a professional officer with outstanding contributions. Those in the troops below have already demonstrated his commanding talent and made meritorious deeds Professional soldiers were promoted to professional officers and served as qianhu.

Zhang Qiang's coaching skills are already at full level, he can only train professional soldiers, equivalent to non-commissioned officers, and the officers to be promoted in the later stage can only be promoted from those professional soldiers.

And many of these professional soldiers have served as deputy squad leaders, squad leaders, company commanders, battalion commanders, and thousands of households. He is an officer with one specialty and many abilities, that is, he has experience in cavalry, infantry in blood-to-blood combat, archers, hiding behind and shooting the enemy, and even participated in naval battles. Therefore, Zhang Qiang set up a military officer above the non-commissioned officer. The rank of a career officer was given to these soldiers, and now they are promoted to official officer positions.

Even the soldiers are elite soldiers, this is the real elite troops, and only such troops are worthy of serving as his guards.

The Guards Brigade was composed of six musketeer units equipped with Jinkai [-] matchlock guns, two artillery units equipped with horse-drawn artillery, two cavalry units, and one baggage unit. [-] thousand engineering troops, [-] thousand spearmen troops, [-] thousand crossbowmen troops, [-] thousand household brigade headquarters, one messenger cavalry battalion, one chasse cavalry battalion, and one scout cavalry battalion.

The entire guard brigade consisted of 1000 people.

This, this is not a brigade, this is a division.

However, Zhang Qiang feels that the current large establishment is not easy to command, and these new concepts are not easy for people to accept at once. He plans to slowly instill these things in people of this era.

Chapter 234 Make the world into chaos, and the soldiers leave the city

Wei Wuji and Milin stood still outside the city, but stepped up the speed of shrinking the encirclement of Hangzhou Prefecture, stepped up their efforts to wipe out the Qing army in other counties of Hangzhou Prefecture and the remnants of the Ming army who sympathized with the Qing army.

Although Sunit had several thousand cavalry, tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers, and mobilized 2000 servants of landlords and squires in the city, and 3000 young and strong people in the city to defend the city, he was helpless. His cavalry was useless in defending the city. He didn't dare to fight, because he knew how powerful the Jinhua Rebel Army was, and he had already been defeated by the Jinhua Rebel Army several times.

Therefore, he was very bored, and when he was inspecting the city wall last time, he was shot and killed several powerful tribal generals by the matchlock guns of the Jinhua Rebel Army, which made him dare not even go up the city wall, and was trapped in the city, frowning all day long , lost his temper, how many maids and guards were unlucky, and were killed by sticks or whipped to death by him for no reason.

At the same time, Tian Bin was entertaining several leaders of the Qing army in the green battalion in the city.

Ever since Tian Bin rescued Sunit in spite of himself, Tian Bin was promoted to the chief soldier of the green battalion, which made the other generals of the green battalion very dissatisfied, either cursing behind their backs or playing tricks behind their backs. Against him, Tian Bin set up his own barracks after killing a group of generals, Qianhu, and commanders who opposed him the most. At this time, he wanted to talk to everyone.

The main generals in the green battalion are the other generals of the Hangzhou government and the gentleman. He is a civil servant, a fourth-rank official of the court, and an alternate Taoist priest of the Hangzhou government. .

Don't be a civil servant who temporarily leads the army. This Tian Bin doesn't care much about him. No matter how civil servants are, they can't be compared with these military generals who support their troops. If the world is peaceful, maybe Tian Bin still fears him, but now everyone here is surrounded by the Jinhua Rebels. Surrounded, as a civil servant, he is nothing, only has the right to command the troops in name, but actually exercises the right to supervise. Now the general and the chief are at his command. The price is for sale.

Ordinarily, the green battalion was established in the first year of Shunzhi, that is, in [-], but it was already [-] when it was implemented in the south. The general, after being defeated by the cavalry of the Qing army in Bolobele, surrendered to the Qing army. Sooner or later, he followed the Qing army's buttocks all the way to burn, kill and loot, and slaughtered the people without mercy. It can be said that the Qing army gave orders, and they carried out them in detail , took the opportunity to rob property.

Tian Bin was originally such a person, but he surrendered late, and he was not the Ming army, but a general of Dashun. Dashun was an anti-Ming court of the peasant uprising army Li Zicheng, also known as a rogue.

After he surrendered, he fought with the Jinhua Rebels. He was beaten to death, fled thousands of miles, and hid for several years in the moat mirror occupied by the Portuguese. slaughter and looting.

He didn't like these pioneers and executioners of the Green Camp officers and soldiers who slaughtered the people in the south, but in order to complete his mission, he had to let go of his grudges and deal with them.

The biggest opponents here are Wu Jing, the general of the garrison of the Green Camp, Tang Guoqiang, the governor of the Hangzhou government, Zhang Guoli, the governor of the Jinling government, Sun Li, the governor of the patrol battalion of the Hangzhou government, and the others are the guards of the following counties. Commissioner Qianzong, some low-level officials like the general manager.

The green battalion is set up by the official, the official recruits soldiers, and the soldiers act.

Therefore, there are so many green camps, especially in the early Qing Dynasty, most of the Ming troops who surrendered were old soldiers, very slippery, fighting and fighting, then you have to force them to have no choice, they showed their fierce minions, but if you don’t If you force them, they turn around and run away. Fighting is a dead man's business, so let others do it.

Under the brutal pressure of the Qing army, the combat effectiveness of the current green battalion is still very powerful. Compared with the fallen trees and the lack of fighting spirit of the Ming army, their combat effectiveness is simply against the sky.

In front of such a group of wolves, Tian Bin could only play tricks and win over, so he held a banquet for them.

Everyone ate fish and meat unceremoniously for a long time, Zhang Guoli, who claimed that he was an officer and soldier of Jinling Mansion, stood up, staggered and said: "Master Tian, ​​we know what you mean, and we will say hello to me and the boys under my command in the future." But by order," he said nicely, but he stood up and left, which didn't give Tian Bin a good face at all.

Tian Bin stood up and said loudly: "Master Zhang, Jinhua is now besieged by the rebel army. I invite you here to consider your future whereabouts. I am going to discuss with you. If you leave like this, it means that you will stay here to serve the country with your death." gone?"

Everyone glanced at each other, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Tian Bin's gourd.

Always smiling, relatively young, about 35 or six years old, Wu Jing, a general of the Green Camp Hangzhou Prefecture Garrison Battalion, stood up, cupped his hands with a smile and asked, "Mr. Tian, ​​do you have any good ideas that can make the We get away from this Hangzhou mansion?"

Tang Guoqiang, the Governor of Hangzhou Prefecture, Biao Shen, said: "Yes, Mr. Tian has traveled all the way, and how many Jinhua volunteers have not left him behind. Does it matter that Mr. Tian is there, so that they can let us go?" Tang Guoqiang said. It's a bit bitter, alluding to Tian Bin's collusion with the Ming army and the Jinhua rebel army.

He asked out his heart for everyone, and left a controversy for Tian Bin. If the Manchu generals of the Qing army knew about it, Tian Bin would be in doubt if he wanted to continue serving as the general.

"Hehe, it's not related, but I asked my subordinates to investigate. The city defense of the Jinhua Rebel Army is not without loopholes. Their defense against the east of the city is relatively lax. There is an interval of about two hours in the middle, and there are only three or five in that interval. The patrol team at the branch level, everyone knows that the Jinhua Rebel Army has been unable to attack for a long time, and their main force has gone to various counties to wipe out, so the troops for the siege must not be enough." Tian Bin explained to everyone.

"Isn't there still the Ming army of Lu Jianguo? They haven't left yet. Mr. Tian, ​​don't lie to us, we also have spies outside." Wu Jing said darkly.

Tian Bin glanced at him sideways, and said haughtily: "Can those wastes be put on the table? Even the soldiers I summoned temporarily can fight ten of them one at a time," he said righteously, without mercy.
