I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The next day, Wu Changqing held a meeting to make some military reorganizations.

Those troops who lost their troops and lost their generals need to be replenished, and those troops who have been recruited also need to be prepared.

In this battle of Changzhou, Qian Sule and Xiong Rulin were the ones who suffered the most losses. From the beginning, they assumed the responsibility of lure the enemy, and their weapons were the worst when they attacked the city later.

After two battles, their 8,000 men were reduced to 6,000. In order to restore the strength of their troops, Wu Changqing added 4,000 troops to them.

It's just that this supplement is not for a group of soldiers and low-level officers, but for Wang Dafu to bring 4,000 soldiers and horses directly into the Qian Su Club.

In this way, it seems that Qian Sule's troops have increased and his strength has become stronger.

But in fact, Wang Dafu's 4,000 soldiers and horses usually obey Qian Sule's command. But if Qian Sule had any other ideas, he would definitely not command Wang Dafu.

Because Wang Dafu was born in Wu Changqing's personal soldier, the direct descendant of the direct line.

In this way, Wu Changqing weakened Qian Sule's power in disguise, and left Qian Sule speechless.

Qian Sule knew what Wu Changqing was thinking. After all, now their military salaries, food, and personnel supplements are all in Wu Changqing's hands, unlike other generals who can collect taxes and make money to recruit troops and buy horses.

After the reorganization, Qian Sule became the second division of the Wu Army, with three regiments under its jurisdiction, and Qian Sule served as the division commander.

At the same time, Liu Han's three divisions were expanded from the original 6,500 to 10,000, becoming the third division of the Wu Army, with Liu Hansan serving as the division commander.

He also assigned Xue Guiren's troops to him, and Xue Guiren also became a regiment commander in the third division, and he could be regarded as a mid-level and high-level commander.

Xue Guiren was not particularly satisfied with this position, but it was acceptable. The defeated general, it is not bad to have this end.

The first division directly led by Wu Changqing was also expanded, adding 5,000 people, most of which were cold weapon troops.

After the reorganization, Wu Changqing's army expanded to 50,000.

Of course, this is only the number in the plan. In fact, only about 40,000 people have been reorganized. Some people need to be selected and trained before they can be incorporated into the army and form combat power.

50,000 people are only the first phase of the military expansion plan. After digesting these recruits, Wu Changqing will start the second phase of the plan, and the second phase will expand the army to 100,000.

With an army of 100,000 people, you can basically attack Nanjing while defending your own territory.

Or, with an army of 100,000, you can have a decisive battle with the Qing army's main force, the Eight Banners. As long as the main force of the Qing army going south is defeated, the Wu army can run rampant in the south of the Yangtze River.

After all, there are not many Manchu troops now.

The core Manchu Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners have a total strength of a little over 200,000, while the Han Chinese Eight Banners are about 100,000. In addition to these, there are green battalions all over the country, that is, troops like Liu Liangzuo and Li Chengdong, about 400,000.

At first glance, it seems that there are quite a lot of troops, but if these troops are scattered on the territory of the whole country, it is far from enough.

Today, there is still Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi regime in the west of Sichuan, with an army of 300,000, and He Tengjiao's army of 200,000 in Jiangxi, Hunan.

The Qing army had just occupied the north and needed to divide its troops to maintain its rule, and there were still some troops left in the northeast home.

In this way, the Manchu Qing could actually use a small number of troops, and it would be a bloodbath to send an army of 100,000 troops to attack Wu Changqing at a time.

In fact, whenever Wu Changqing saw the history of the Qing Dynasty eradicating the Ming Dynasty, he felt a little incredible. When the Manchus entered the customs, the total force was a little over 120,000. With this little bit of people, Daming was wiped out.

Dorgon didn't even dare to think about this kind of thing when he entered the customs, but this is what happened in reality.

The reason is that too many Han generals surrendered, and they all surrendered without a fight, as if they had been subjugated.

Wu Sangui surrendered with more than 50,000 people, Zuo Menggeng, son of Zuo Liangyu, and 200,000 men surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with 10,000 men without fighting a battle, Liu Liangzuo surrendered with 100,000 troops, tens of thousands of Huang Degong's men surrendered, Li Chengdong led Tens of thousands of subordinates surrendered...

Whenever he thinks of these examples, Wu Changqing knows that the army must be reformed, and the generals who lead the troops will never be allowed to recruit troops to expand the army and collect taxes without permission, and they are not allowed to turn those soldiers into their own private soldiers.

This is actually very easy to do, as long as they move their positions frequently, for example, Liu Hansan will be the commander of the third division this year, and he will change with Li Shaobin next year.

As long as the supreme commander cannot command the same army for a long time, they cannot have complete control over those soldiers and lower-ranking generals.

After reorganizing the army, the 2nd and 3rd divisions stayed in Changzhou. Wu Changqing returned to Suzhou with the first division of the main force. This most crucial unit was always with him.

As long as this troop is still in hand, Liu Hansan and Qian Sule will betray him and there is still a chance for a comeback.

But if the flintlock troop was gone, he would have to stamp his feet in distress.

When they arrived in Suzhou, the people who had already received the news went out of the city to meet and watch the Triumph Division.

Now Wu Jun has become the pride of Suzhou people. This invincible teacher with a hundred victories has made Suzhou people proud.

Of course, the fact that this army originated in Jiading was naturally ignored by the people of Suzhou. Anyway, now Wu Changqing is always stationed in Suzhou, so this army is the army of Suzhou people.

Moreover, in this army, Suzhou people

A lot, a small percentage.

Knowing that there were people watching, Wu Changqing ordered the cold weapon troops to detour back to the barracks, while the flintlock troops went for a walk in front of the people, which was considered a military parade.

Naturally, the military parade cannot walk like a normal march. It is necessary to maintain a good formation and get out of the momentum, that is, to walk as normal as usual in training.

Wu Changqing rode a tall horse and walked in front, welcoming the cheers of the people.

Followed by the army formed a square, walking on the right foot.

Uniform steps, uniform movements, and even expressions are uniform, unsmiling.

Where have the ancients ever seen this kind of battle, this kind of battle has a great visual impact on people, and it makes people feel emotional when they see it, and they can't help but admire it.

"This is our invincible Wu Jun, even walking is so mighty and majestic."

"With such a military appearance, it is no wonder that every battle will be won."

Some wealthy businessmen have already occupied a good position, and the momentum of Wu Jun can be seen at a glance.

Also occupying a good position are some students in the university hall, and they are also people with identities.

"Teacher's ability to train troops is the most powerful. It would be great if there was a military department in the school."

"This invincible teacher relies on those flintlock guns. I heard that Guan Mengfei has developed a process to increase the speed of gun barrel manufacturing. I am afraid that this time I will be praised by the teacher."

"I heard that Feng Xianzhong has already finished elementary physics by himself, and I am afraid that he will be given an important task in the future."

The tone of these students is full of envy, that is an opportunity to become an official.

The Fourth Brigade returned to the barracks after a short half-circle in the city, and Wu Changqing also returned home.

The little lady and Zihe were both in the yard, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Wu Changqing entering the door, a smile appeared on Chen Yuyan's face. I don't know if it was because I was too happy, there were still tears in the corners of my eyes.

"What, do you miss me?"

Wu Changqing hugged the other one, and the other maids and servants quickly turned their heads when they saw it, pretending they didn't see it.

"Hate, let me down, there are so many people."

Chen Yuyan was angry and anxious, and it was enough to do some humiliating and intimate actions in front of Zi He. She still acted like this in front of so many servants, so how could she meet people in the future, and how to maintain her dignity in front of servants.

Wu Changqing smiled and put it down.

"Go and boil some water to bathe me."

Wu Changqing explained to Zi He, "Little Bie is better than a newlywed. Wu Changqing has been with a large group of men in the military camp these days, and he has long been hungry and thirsty.
