I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Before Wu Changqing arrived, many officers did not take their seats.

Several people gathered around each other and communicated with each other.

Many people had smiles on their faces, because if nothing else happened, they would all be promoted.

"Lao Li, I heard that a military-level institution will be established this time?"

Liu Hansan asked.

In the previous military establishment, the highest-ranking officer was the division commander, but now that the number of troops is increasing, the establishment of higher-level institutions has become inevitable.

Otherwise, there will be wars in the future, and it is easy to appear that they are not under each other.

Everyone is a division commander, and who listens to whom is a question. Only by setting up a commander can we better coordinate the overall situation.

"It should be."

Li Shaobin didn't know either, this kind of big event has always been Wu Changqing's word, and they only have a little power to make suggestions at most.

"I don't know how the military-level organization will be organized, but don't put all the flintlock troops into a single army. This will reduce the overall combat effectiveness of the army. The matching of military services is very important."

Liu Hansan said.

What he was most worried about was that Wu Changqing organized all the flintlock troops into one army. In that case, he would most likely not be the commander of that army.

If you are just a commander of a cold weapon army, even if you have an army of tens of thousands of people in your hands, it will be boring.

"You don't have to worry about this. The general has more experience in the formation of the army than you."

Li Shaobin saw Liu Hansan's thoughtfulness and couldn't help but complain.

On the other side, Zhang Yingyuan said to Lu Guangzu: "Master Lu, I heard that your family members have been taken to Nanjing. Now you can restore your name and get promoted and rich with peace of mind."

"I don't dare to ask for promotion for this little credit. I'm content to keep my current position as head of the regiment."

Lu Guangzu said.

Compared with some other generals, he was more fortunate and secretly rescued his family back to Nanjing.

"If we say that among our group of generals, it may be that Master Dong and Master Xue are the best. This time, I am afraid that the position of a main division commander will not be able to escape."

The officers who surrendered in the later period formed a circle. They were all surrendering generals, and they had a common language with each other.

Of course, another important reason is that it is more difficult for them to squeeze into the circle of the old school. It's embarrassing to have to squeeze in and be ignored.

At present, the officers in the Wu army are divided into several factions, of which the most powerful is naturally the veteran faction, headed by the three kings Li and Liu, who have absolute power.

Other Dai Zhijun, Wu Yi and others also occupy important positions.

In addition to the patriarchal faction, there are the surrender faction, the neonatal faction, the Manchu faction, and those without factions.

There are a lot of people from the surrender faction, and some people have very large official positions, such as Dong Tianbao.

The freshmen were officers who came out of military classes, and they were also called academics. This group of people is characterized by youth and high military literacy.

However, because of their low starting point, their current official positions are generally not high, but they have great potential.

Among them, Chief of Staff Tao Dongcheng, Chief of Staff An Fugui, and Chief of Artillery Corps Yan Yizhou are the representatives.

The Manchu faction is very small, only three or four. However, because of their particularity, it is difficult to integrate into other circles, so just a few people also formed a circle.

Among them, the leader is naturally Man Dahai, who made the Qing court grit his teeth, and now he is quite powerful in the Wu army.

Those without factions are Xiong Rulin, Qian Sule and others.

For the sake of their future, they have absolutely nothing to do with Zhu Yihai.

Originally, their starting point was very high, but because of their previous status, their current development is not ideal.

"The general is here."

A reminder came from outside the door, and everyone immediately stopped chatting and stood beside their respective positions.

Afterwards, Wu Changqing entered the hall and sat in the chief position. Said: "Everyone is fortunate, sit down."

Then everyone sat down and waited for Wu Changqing's lecture.

"This battle in Jiangxi, you all performed very well..."

Wu Changqing came to a necessary scene, and then talked about the military adaptation that everyone cares about most.

"At present, the garrison will remain unchanged for the time being. The main force is 150,000 people. My plan is to divide it into three armies..."

The main force of 150,000 troops, of which the flintlock troops have reached as many as 30,000.

There are also 30,000 cavalry troops, 20,000 arquebusier troops, and 20,000 sword and shield troops.

Fifteen thousand sailors, ten thousand archers, five thousand grenadiers, five thousand artillerymen, and ten thousand death squads. Other miscellaneous special arms about 5,000 people.

Wu Changqing divided these people into three armies, plus five separate divisions.

Among them, the First Army consisted of 15,000 flintlock troopers, 10,000 swordsmen, and some grenadiers, totaling 30,000. The commander was Li Shaobin.

The arms of the Second Army were exactly the same as those of the First Army, and the commander was Liu Hansan.

On the surface, it seemed that his status was finally on an equal footing with Li Shaobin. However, in terms of the degree of intimacy between the two in Wu Changqing's heart, Li Shaobin was still a little higher.

The Third Army is composed of 20,000 arquebus troops, plus other auxiliary arms, with a total strength of 30,000. The commander is Wang Dayong.

The strength of the third army is obviously weaker than the other two armies. This is not because Wang Dayong is not favored, but because the army needs to be organized in this way.

A single branch of arms cannot be organized into an army, nor

Can divide a certain army too scattered.

Wang Dayong's ability is relatively average, and he is hard-working, so Wu Changqing arranged for him to be the commander.

If Liu Hansan was asked to do it, the other party would definitely feel resentment. And letting Li Shaobin do it is a bit of a waste of talent.

In short, Wu Changqing still respects Wang Dayong, who is very obedient. Although the power is a little smaller, the treatment in other aspects is not lower than the other two.

In terms of status, he is not inferior to Liu Hansan. There are things that Liu Hansan is not used to seeing on weekdays.

The total strength of the three armies is 90,000, and then there are various independent divisions.

The 30,000 cavalry was divided into two divisions, commanded by Dong Tianbao and Man Dahai.

The 15,000-strong navy formed a division by itself, and the division commander was Wu Yi.

Five thousand artillerymen formed an artillery division, commanded by Zhang Xuanyi.

10,000 archers formed a bow division, and the division commander was Xue Guiren.

Wu Changqing divided the military power into more dispersal, and did not concentrate the flintlock troops into one army.

He will not give a certain subordinate too much power. Now they are the commander of the army. Even if someone betrays and rebels, it is only the strength of an army.

Although it will hurt the muscles and bones, it will not shake the foundation.

If the flintlock guns were concentrated in one army, Wu Changqing would not be at ease no matter who was the army commander. Once its commander rebels, it will be doomed.

The 30,000 flintlock troops were already 80% of his combat power.

People's hearts are separated, even the loyal Li Shaobin, Wu Changqing can't see through his brain.
