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

Because someone led troops to suppress the bandits, the military meeting of the Yibu South Road Rebels was not held until the afternoon.

Not only the battalion-level generals of the third regiment attended the meeting, but some sentry-level generals were also notified and came to attend the meeting.

After the meeting started, Yang Heqing stood up directly with Liu Sheng's military order and said: "Now let's ask the regimental military and political officers to recite the commander's military order!"

After speaking, the general ordered the document to be handed over to Cheng Chan.

The dozens of battalion sentry-level generals who attended the meeting stood up immediately, holding their heads high and chests high, making a fist with their right hand and placing it on their left chest, their faces full of solemnity!

"General Xinghua issued an order on March 7, the 14th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty!

Yang Heqing, the former commander of the third regiment, is hereby appointed as the commander of the third brigade. Zhang Ao, the former deputy commander of the third regiment, is appointed as the brigade deputy of the third brigade. Cheng Song, the former military and political officer of the third regiment, is appointed as the military and political officer of the third brigade. The former general officer of the third regiment is hereby appointed. As the main backbone, establish the third brigade of the standing army..."

This military order is quite long, and the clear and clear voice continues.

But many of the battalion sentry-level generals below couldn't help showing excitement and joy.

Because everyone understands that Weibu is going to expand its army again!

The upper limit of the standing army establishment has been raised from the regiment level to the brigade level, which means that most of them will be promoted, and they can command more troops and horses, and even have the opportunity to lead the army alone in combat!

This also means that they will have more opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future!

After listening carefully, the generals realized that this yellow-headed military order was more than just promoting the third regiment to the third brigade.

The original battalion and regiment level establishments have also changed.

Previously, a standing army battalion had six posts, each with 100 men, for a total of 600 men.

In this organizational reform of the rebel army, the sixth post, which was originally called the "logistics support post", was renamed the "post directly under the battalion headquarters", or "battalion headquarters" for short.

The battalion headquarters has: 30 people from the reconnaissance team, 30 people from the gendarmerie, 30 people from the medical team, and 30 people from the guard team.

There is also a service team of 14 people, including one logistics officer and one logistics clerk, and one confidential officer and one clerk.

There are 13 more people in the flag team.

A total of 147 people.

In addition, because in a relatively fierce battle, if a battalion-level general is seriously injured or even killed, the battalion level and a sentry will lose command personnel at the same time.

Therefore, generals at the battalion, regiment, and brigade levels no longer serve as commanders of the next-level organization.

This change can also train more generals to facilitate the expansion of the Yibu Rebel Army in the future.

Therefore, one battalion and three battalion-level generals in the standing army now total 650 people!

A regiment of the standing army is composed of five battalions: three combat battalions, one baggage battalion, and one battalion directly under the regiment (regiment headquarters).

The organization of the regiment has also been changed.

The regiment headquarters is equipped with: guard posts, artillery posts, reconnaissance posts, gendarme posts, health posts, and service posts.

The first five outposts each have 100 people, and the service outpost has 105 people.

The service post has 2 service teams with a total of 60 people, and a flag team with 39 people, including 1 logistics officer, 6 confidential officer, and clerks.

Therefore, there are a total of 605 people in the regiment headquarters.

Counting three regiment-level generals, the total regiment actually numbered 3208 people!

Each brigade has three regiments, all of which are combat regiments (because each regiment has its own supply camp).

The third regiment is a reinforcement regiment and is also a regiment directly under the brigade (brigade headquarters).

The brigade headquarters has: two combat battalions, one each for a guard battalion, an artillery battalion, a cavalry battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, and a transport battalion.

There is also a half health camp (three posts) and a half military police camp (three posts).

Finally there is a service camp.

The battalion consists of: 100 service posts, 120 flag posts, one logistics officer and adjutant, one confidential officer and adjutant, and 20 clerks, totaling 244 people.

Therefore, the brigade headquarters (reinforcement regiment) actually has 5447 people!

There are a total of 11863 people in the whole brigade! (can be conveniently calculated based on 12000 people)

After Yang Heqing finished reciting the military order document, he said: "Now, I will announce the appointment of the generals of the third brigade by the Generalissimo's Office!"

After previous battles, Yang Heqing and others would report their military exploits to the Military Affairs Hall, so Liu Sheng had some understanding of the performance of the third regiment and the civilian brave battalions in the battle.

Although the military order asked Yang Heqing and others to form the third brigade, in fact the generals at the regimental and battalion levels of the third brigade were directly appointed by Liu Sheng through the Military Affairs Hall.

Only the fourth-level officers of the sentry team can be directly appointed by the brigade headquarters. But you also have to write a relevant report and submit it to the Military Affairs Hall.

The Military Affairs Hall has the right to deny the appointment of an officer in the brigade, but generally speaking, the Military Affairs Hall will not interfere in this to ensure that the brigade generals have certain authority in the army.

Soon, Yang Heqing announced Liu Sheng's appointment of regimental-level generals to the third brigade.

The commander of the first regiment, Zhang Shijie, the regiment deputy Li Lei, and the regiment political officer talked about the runner-up.

The second regiment commander Lin Youhui, regiment deputy Du Feng, and regiment military and political officer Gao Feng.

The third regiment commander Tang Yu, regiment deputy Li Yong, and regiment military and political officer Su Muqiu.

All of them were selected from the former third regiment battalion sentry-level generals with outstanding military exploits or hard work.

Then, Yang Heqing began to read out the appointments of battalion-level generals.

The remaining sentry-level generals of the standing army who attended the meeting will be promoted to battalion-level generals, but there are also a few civilian battalion-level generals who will be directly transferred to the standing army battalion-level generals.

Anyone present or not will receive a formal letter of appointment issued by the Military Affairs Hall afterwards.

As for junior officers at the sentry level, there is no appointment letter. There are only promotion records in the relevant files at the brigade headquarters and the Military Affairs Hall.

The original Third Regiment of the Standing Army only had 3000 people. This time it was expanded to the Third Brigade, which will increase to 11863 people, which means that 8863 people will be absorbed from various civilian camps!

Previously, Yang Heqing was in charge of 20 civilian warrior battalions, and there were only 12000 civilian warriors in total, which means that more than two-thirds of the civilian warriors will be converted into standing armies!

This time, there was much less courage among the people.

Yang Heqing originally only wanted to organize two civilian warrior battalions in Xixian County, but now he has changed his mind and plans to organize at least four!

···

Wan Sanyuan pretended to be a salesman and came to the outside of Xixian City. He was hawking beside the city official road while looking at the rebel barracks a few hundred steps away.

He was not afraid that this behavior would be suspected by the rebels, because at this time there were many vendors hawking along the official road outside the city gate, and there were also many curious people watching the military camp.

The rebels can't drive away all these people.

At this time, a group of civilians drove a donkey cart to buy vegetables from the city. They passed by the official road and chatted happily while walking. The content of the conversation suddenly attracted Wan Sanyuan's attention.

"Brother Ding, the standing army is expanding this time. I heard that we will recruit seven or eight thousand people from our Mingyong Camp. You are also a veteran in the Huotou Army. You will definitely be selected, right?"

"Hey, it's hard to talk about this."

"If Brother Ding is really selected, don't forget to take care of your younger brother."

"With your cleverness, you might even be selected. I won't need to take care of you."

"It would be great if I could really join the standing army. I heard that the standing army's monthly salary of 20 taels is exactly the same..."

When the Mingyong team walked away, Wan Sanyuan couldn't help but pinch his chin and frown in thought.

'The standing army is the elite of the Yibu rebel army, right? Actually want to recruit seven or eight thousand people? This is a major expansion of the army! '
