I want to be emperor

Chapter 97 The Six Battalions and Two Outposts Plan
Since Luo Zhixue announced the establishment of the First Infantry Battalion, the Second Infantry Battalion, and the Third Infantry Battalion, many people in the Baoxiang Battalion have been staring at the positions brought by the expansion of the army.

Although Baoxiangying is just a group of rebels, there are also official positions within the rebels, and the status is divided into high and low.

Everyone wants to be the one with a higher status.

However, senior positions are also limited, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone's wishes.

This time, Luo Zhixue set up three new infantry battalions. According to Luo Zhixue's regulations, there would be three battalion commanders and three deputy battalion commanders.

At the new round of military meeting held in Songjiazhuang, Luo Zhixue announced the candidates for three battalion commanders and three deputy battalion commanders.

"Huang Dingquan is the commander of the First Infantry Battalion."

"Wang Dazhuang is the deputy battalion commander of the First Infantry Battalion."

"Lin Dongsheng will serve as the battalion commander of the Second Infantry Battalion."

"Huang Chengyong will serve as the deputy commander of the Second Infantry Battalion."

"Xu He will serve as the commander of the [-]rd Infantry Battalion."

"Li Duo will serve as the deputy commander of the [-]rd Infantry Battalion."

After listening to Luo Zhixue's announcement of the three battalion commanders and three deputy battalion commanders, everyone did not show much surprise. In fact, before the official announcement, Luo Zhixue had already had private conversations with the generals. Luo Zhixue, the former sentinel-level general, talked with each other about whether he was successfully promoted or not for the time being.

After Luo Zhixue's words fell, Huang Dingquan came out at the first time: "The general loves you, and Quan can't repay you. You can only repay him with death."

Lin Dongsheng stood up and said, "I am willing to die for the great general!"

The old farmer Xu He also came out and said: "I am willing to die for the general."

At the same time, the three deputy battalion commanders Wang Dazhuang, Huang Chengyong, and Li Duo also came out and shouted: "I am willing to die for the general."

With a smile on his face, Luo Zhixue looked at the six people who knelt down and saluted one after another. After standing up, he took two steps forward to help the six people up one after another: "They are all my brothers, what are you polite about? Get up, get up quickly."

Immediately afterwards, he looked around the crowd and said:

"Just like Luo said back then, I, Luo, have no other skills, but I will try my best to bring everyone to eat and live. If there is a chance, I will take everyone to enjoy the glory and wealth, Now we have just started, the conditions are still a bit difficult, and it is a bit early to talk about prosperity and wealth, but I believe we will have opportunities in the future."

Wang Dazhuang, who was supported by Luo Zhixue, looked at the three Gao Sheng Battalion Commanders in front of him, who seemed to be temporarily overpowering him, but there was no disappointment on his face, because he knew that this situation would only last for a couple of days at most. It's only a month.

Before the meeting, he had already been summoned by Luo Zhixue.

At that time, Luo Zhixue stated that this time the new three infantry battalion commanders did not have his share, because the new three battalion commanders would be appointed from among those who knew how to command musketeers, so that they could get familiar with and control them as soon as possible. new tactics.

According to this condition, Huang Dingquan, the former commander of the fifth sentinel, undoubtedly became the commander of the first battalion of the main infantry battalion, because the fifth sentinel was the first to use muskets.

Similarly, the second batch recently accepted the first post of the musket, and its post commander Lin Dongsheng also took advantage of the opportunity to become the battalion commander of the second infantry battalion.

At the same time, Xu He, who had just started accepting muskets recently and formed a small number of musketeers, became the commander of the [-]rd Infantry Battalion.

The reason why these three people became battalion commanders was purely because they had musketeers under their command and had experience in commanding musketeers in combat.

The remaining three people have no such experience.

When Luo Zhixue summoned Wang Dazhuang yesterday, he stated that he would be the deputy battalion commander of the [-]st Infantry Battalion and concurrently the head of the [-]st Musketeer Post of the [-]st Infantry Battalion, so that he could learn how to lead musketeers to fight.

After a short period of study, when the Fourth Infantry Battalion was established, he was the commander of the Fourth Infantry Battalion.

In this regard, Wang Dazhuang knew that Luo Zhixue was not lying to himself, but really intended to do so.

After all, there are more than 2000 recruits in the recruit camp of the Baoxiang Camp. At the same time, there are thousands of active soldiers in the Baoxiang Camp, which adds up to more than 3000 people.

Even if the existing three infantry battalions are fully staffed, counting the cavalry, artillery and supplies, it will only take a little over 2000 people to survive, and the remaining more than 1000 people are enough to organize two more battalions.

Luo Zhixue's plan to train six infantry battalions, two artillery posts, two cavalry posts, and two supply posts within two months had already been announced before.

Behind this there are three infantry battalions.

As for the positions of the battalion commanders of the first three infantry battalions, if nothing else happens, there is a high probability that they will be the three deputy battalion commanders, Wang Dazhuang, Huang Chengyong, and Li Duo.

After the battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders of the three infantry battalions were arranged, Luo Zhixue did not stop the meeting, and at the same time arranged several other personnel appointments.

Zhao Hongshu was mainly appointed as the deputy chief of the first cavalry post.

Appoint Ma Dapao as the head of the second cavalry sentry.

Ding Chuwu was appointed as the deputy head of the second cavalry post.

It sounds strange that Luo Zhixue personally arranges the position of chief or even deputy chief of the cavalry post, but considering the great tactical value of the cavalry and its important tactical position in the Baoxiang camp, it is not surprising.

Just like Xiazi Wang now, he is only the head of the first cavalry post, but how dare Lin Dongsheng and his battalion commanders beat Xiazi Wang?
Not talking about status, but talking about the actual value of the troops led, the value of a few hundred infantrymen is far from being comparable to more than 100 elite cavalry.

Similarly, the captain of the cavalry post has a higher status than the captain of the infantry post.

The value of thirty cavalry is more than one hundred infantry anyway, regardless of whether the hundred infantry are spearmen or musketeers.

Considering the particularity of the cavalry unit, Luo Zhixue would directly intervene in the appointment at the deputy post commander level, and this time the newly appointed Zhao Hongshu and the other three also had the same characteristic, that is, they were Luo Zhixue just like Ernst and Young. The first batch of soldiers.

In the early days, he was also arranged by Luo Zhixue to take up such a low-level position as Shichang.

However, during the Battle of Songshan, in order to concentrate the cavalry force, Luo Zhixue took them all back to serve in the cavalry post, including An Yongduo.

Later, Luo Zhixue saw that Er Yongduo was more flexible in his mind, and was diligent and studious, and even read and read differently from those scholars, so he almost transferred Er Yongduo to the staff office as the director, and the other three continued to serve in the cavalry post.

Before the promotion, Ma Dapao was already the deputy chief of the cavalry post, Zhao Hongshu was the captain of the second team, and Ding Chuwu was the fourth captain.

And the earliest deputy head of the cavalry post, An Yongduo, had long since resigned from the post of deputy head of the cavalry post, and specialized in serving as the chief of the staff department.

After all, these people were one of Luo Zhixue's first four soldiers. Whether they wanted to or not, they were all labeled as Luo Zhixue's henchmen, so Luo Zhixue didn't mind mentioning them when he had the chance.

After chatting with them a few days ago, Luo Zhixue was quite satisfied with Ma Dapao, who has already served as the deputy head of the cavalry post. He spoke pragmatically and asked him what he would do if he served as the second cavalry post. He just answered honestly. Conduct hard training.

This time, Luo Zhixue appointed Ma Dapao as the second cavalry sentry chief, and the other two were assigned as deputy chiefs.

The cavalry post will also be officially divided into two, evolving into the first cavalry post and the second cavalry post.

This is also part of this reorganization plan. After all, this reorganization plan also has an unofficial name, namely the Six Battalions and Two Outposts Plan.

What is the Six Battalions and Two Outposts Plan?Specifically, six infantry battalions were formed within three months, with two artillery posts and two cavalry posts serving as the main combat troops of the Baoxiang Battalion.

Based on this, the cavalry post was divided into two.

Before the cavalry post was reorganized into two posts, the actual size of the cavalry had exceeded the original rated establishment. At the earliest time, the cavalry post had only three teams, but later they accepted prisoners of war and trained cavalry by themselves.

Before officially leaving the mountain, the cavalry post already had four cavalry teams.

After the battle of Songjiazhuang and Chuangpotian, the fifth team was formed using the captured war horses and recruited prisoner-of-war cavalry.

In this way, the cavalry sentry has five cavalry teams, far exceeding the establishment of three cavalry teams and one sentry in the Baoxiang Camp.

Taking advantage of the reorganization, Luo Zhixue officially split the cavalry post and set up the second cavalry post.

In addition, the position of Wang Xiazi, the former cavalry sentry chief, has also been adjusted, not to assume the position of a higher-level cavalry battalion commander.

Now there are only about a hundred cavalry in the Baoxiang camp, and it is not enough to set up a cavalry battalion.

Because there are not enough cavalry, naturally there is no larger establishment, don't expect battalion commanders, Wang Xiazi can only serve as the head of the first cavalry post after the split.

But in addition to the head of the first cavalry sentry, Luo Zhixue gave Wang Xiazi the position of the newly established cavalry director. This cavalry director is not under the jurisdiction of the three major military divisions, but independently and directly under the management of Luo Zhixue.

The main authority of the cavalry director is to build and develop the cavalry.

And the first thing Wang Xiazi did after he became the cavalry director was to set up a cavalry artillery team, equipped with two hundred-jin cannons.

But in Wang Xiazi's plan, the two hundred catties of artillery were just transitional. He had discussed it with Luo Zhixue before, and he also got Luo Zhixue's support.

After the second artillery post is full, the third batch of [-]-jin long guns will be given priority to two cavalry units, so that the cavalry units can form a cavalry field artillery team in the true sense.

Blind Wang has long wanted to set up a cavalry artillery team!
Although Wang Xiazi was born in cavalry and shooting, he has always been very interested in artillery, and he has long thought about getting some artillery in the cavalry.

In Wang Xiazi's words: "Whether these thieves or officers and soldiers meet us cavalry, they all like to be cowards, and they will bring out a bunch of infantry!"

"When my six-hundred-jin long cannon arrives, if that bastard dares to form an infantry formation against my cavalry, I'll just pull out the long cannon and attack his mother!"

After several times of entanglement and delaying the battle of the enemy's main infantry, Wang Xiazi was deeply dissatisfied with the fact that the enemy infantry formed an formation to protect themselves against the cavalry, but his own cavalry was helpless and deeply dissatisfied with this dense infantry formation.

After seeing the huge combat effectiveness of the [-]-jin artillery bombarding the dense infantry array, I have long been thinking about how to get some artillery for the cavalry.

In the past, artillery, regardless of size, was under the jurisdiction of the artillery post, and it was difficult for him to start. However, with the establishment of the infantry battalion, it was clearly stipulated that the infantry battalion would also be equipped with three light artillery as infantry support artillery.

Wang Xiazi naturally raised the official schedule for the construction of the cavalry artillery team!
