The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Huachuying small canteen.

As a place to provide meals for the camp managers and their families, the food is naturally better than that in the large canteen, which is considered a benefit for the management staff.

However, because all kinds of materials are still scarce, most of the stewards have not long stood out from the working people, and many still need to take the lead in work, so they are still simple.

The small canteen does not have any exquisite food, but mainly eats more meat and eats more rice.

And the canteen is just a temporary wooden shed, not a permanent building.

Li Changwen was sitting on a wooden table in the northeast corner, drinking fish porridge, fried turkey with potatoes, and pickled dried radishes.

While eating, he told Liu Sheng about his strategy.

He thought this was very rude, and it was indeed what Liu Sheng requested, saying it would save time.

Li Changwen rarely had such good food, and he was very happy eating at this time.

He has even secretly decided to pick up his daughter to enjoy the happiness together later.

“I heard that the rebels had previously raided all the villages and forts within twenty miles around, and every village was dissatisfied.

In this case, why don't the leaders learn from the Ming government and recruit local warriors from these villages?

Most of the rural warriors have family members and tribesmen in the village, making it easy for the rebels to control them. At the same time, they not only have a certain fighting capacity, but also can serve as food transporters.

As long as each village sends people to help the rebels transport food, it is equivalent to further submitting to the rebels.

If the general is willing to spend some more money and grain as rewards to pay to the rural warriors who transport the food, it will not only eliminate the people's resistance to recruiting rural warriors, but also win the hearts of the people. "

After hearing this, Liu Sheng nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Sir, you are a great talent. What you said is indeed a brilliant plan that can be achieved in one fell swoop!"

Li Changwen said: "This plan is not easy to implement. The leader still needs to find a capable subordinate to carry it out."

"Don't worry, sir, I already have a suitable candidate in mind."

···

After breakfast.

Liu Sheng asked Zhang Guying and his two sentry commanders, as well as the former captain and captain of the fishing and hunting team, to be called to the small school ground in front of the guard camp for a meeting.

Zhang Guying originally only led a standing army.

More than ten days ago, Liu Sheng mobilized almost all the soldiers and horses from North America in order to deal with the attack by the government troops.

In order to make up for the lack of military strength in North America, the remaining guards were asked to select 200 male civilian warriors from the Huachu Camp and the Hebian Camp according to his previous standards for selecting new recruits for the standing army, and gave them to Zhang Guying for training together.

Therefore, Zhang Guying's two original captains were promoted to new captains of the standing army.

In addition, Zhang Ao, He Lianyue and their four standing army captains were also brought over from Liujiazhai by Liu Sheng.

After Zhang Ao was rescued by Liu Sheng in Minggang, he was the commander of the archers who followed him in the name of surrender. His family was in North America. He was loyal and capable. During the military training in August, he was appointed as the sentinel commander by Liu Sheng.

Helianyue was a slave who was rescued from the Tongshan Iron Mine. He was very skilled and brave, so he was promoted to the post of commander in August.

After everyone arrived, Liu Sheng said straight to the point: "The main purpose of convening everyone today is to announce the expansion of the army.

I have already told Lady Hong about this matter, and the first and second battalions of the standing army have been formed in Queshan County.

Therefore, today is mainly to announce how to form several other battalions of the standing army, as well as the related appointment of general officers. "

After hearing these words, the expressions of the rebel generals in the small school field changed. Most of them were excited and happy.

It is conceivable that most of them will be promoted after the army is expanded.

At the same time, the expansion of the army also means that the strength of the rebel army is further enhanced and the future will be better.

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Liu Sheng first explained the battalion-level organization after the expansion of the standing army.

Then he said seriously: "Now I announce the appointment of the chief and deputy generals of the third to sixth battalions of the standing army!

I hereby order the Red Lady to be the commander of the third battalion, and Zhang Guying to be the battalion deputy.

Yang Heqing served as the commander of the fourth battalion, and Hu Dongliu served as the battalion deputy.

Shen Zhaoxian was appointed as the battalion commander of the fifth battalion, and Huang Gan was appointed as the battalion deputy.

Liu Changhe served as the commander of the sixth battalion, and Zhang Ao served as the battalion deputy. "

After reading out the appointment order, Liu Sheng glanced at the generals before continuing: "Shen Zhaoxian and Liu Changhe can each select two hundred soldiers from the fishing and hunting regiments as the fifth and sixth battalions, and they will be stationed at Huazuo Camp for the time being. , Hexi Camp, responsible for corresponding security work.

In a few days, I will recruit some new soldiers. After training, I will fill the vacancies for you.

In addition, you can each nominate ten generals who are above the captains of the fishing and hunting regiments, and I will appoint new captains and captains from them. "

"Yes!" Shen Zhaoxian and Liu Changhe responded with fists clasped together.

"Hu Dongliu!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Today, the guards at Liujiazhai will select new recruits from the young refugees staying outside.

You went over to train with the guards, and strive to train four sentry recruits within ten days, and take them to the Tongshan Iron Mine to complete the third battalion. "

"As ordered!"

Liu Sheng looked at Zhang Guying again.

He could tell that Zhang Guying looked a little strange after the appointment was announced.

It was probably because Lady Hong, Yang Heqing, and Wen You, who had become sworn friends, all became commanders of the first battalion, but he was only a battalion deputy, which made him unhappy.

Although he understood this, Liu Sheng was not prepared to do anything.

Employers are always close and distant.

He is more familiar with Yang Heqing and Wen You, which will naturally allow them to make more contributions and be promoted earlier.

As for Zhang Guying's unhappiness, he didn't care.

If Zhang Guying can work hard and make contributions after leaving, he will not be stingy with promotions.

But if Zhang Guying was resentful and made mistakes, he would not show mercy.

"Zhang Guying, go back and bring over the veterans from the riverside camp. I will take you to Dashui Pingzhai to find the red lady and report there later."

"Yes!"

Later, Liu Sheng announced that the pro-army would be renamed the pro-guards, and all members would be called pro-guards.

And then announced the establishment of Huben Camp, Shengjie Camp, and Xiaoqi Camp.

Huben Battalion is led by Wang Laowu as the battalion commander, and Li Niu (the chief of the Minggang Archers) as the battalion deputy.

Shengjie Battalion has Shi Jincai as the battalion commander and He Lianyue as the battalion deputy.

The Xiaoqi Battalion is temporarily commanded by Yang Kuiwu, and Mao Chengguo is temporarily appointed deputy battalion deputy.

The two of them will actually each lead a sentry cavalry, and both will be stationed at the foot of Tianmu Mountain, because during the next period of time, the rebels will need cavalry more in Runing Mansion.

As for the members of the Guards, in addition to the original 180 men, the missing members will be selected from the standing army and civilian warriors.

At present, the three battalions of the Guards can only put up a show, and the recruitment and training of soldiers must be put to the end.

Because the Guards usually do not have such heavy garrison tasks, they only need to guard Liujiazhai and the space gate of Huachu Camp.

Then follow Liu Sheng and act as a bodyguard...

After the meeting, Liu Sheng began to transfer people again.

The main purpose was to send Zhang Guying, Hu Dongliu and other generals and a standing army to Liujiazhai.

Li Changwen was also sent away by Liu Shengshun.

Then, Liu Sheng took Wang Laowu and other personal guards as well as Hu Dongliu and Zhang Guying to personally supervise the selection of nearly 2,000 young refugees from Liujiazhai.
