The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 205 Military Deployment

The capture of Xi'an City also means that the whole Shaanxi is basically solved. Because there are not many troops in other places except Shaanxi. You only need to let a regiment's troops wander around other cities to scare those defeated soldiers away. There is no need for Liu Xia to worry about the next thing.

So on April 1, Liu Xia returned to Luoyang. As soon as he arrived in Luoyang, Shang Chuang sent a letter to Liu Xia. Naturally, this letter was written by Zhang Yang a few days ago to let Shang Chuang go to Liu Xia. Liu Xia tore the letter. After reading it, he laughed twice and then said, "Go and give an order to Liu Dazhuang and let him take the extra A thousand war horses are given to Zhang Yang. By the way, where is Zhang Yang now?

Standing in the garden, Shang Chuang smiled and said, "General, Xiaoyang has arrived at Tongguan at this time." Liu Xia nodded and said, "How many new soldiers are there in the new barracks now?" Shang Chuang opened his mouth directly and said, "The general now has 20,000 new recruits in the new regiment. In addition to 2,500 people that Jiang Xin is going to leave, and 3,000 people taken by Zhang Yang, there are more than 14,000 left. After that, 2,000 prisoners were escorted back for the first time, excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled. The subsequent 6,000 prisoners removed the old, weak, sick and the remaining 4,500 people. A total of 6,000 people."

Liu Xia nodded with satisfaction and asked again, "Can the previous more than 14,000 people use it now?" Shang Chuang immediately said, "General, more than 10,000 people have been trained and can be used at any time!" Liu Xia said with satisfaction, "Okay! Let's go to the study!" Then Liu Xia led the business to the study. At the same time, Liu Xia also asked his relatives to inform Chen Liu and others to come.

It didn't take long for Liu Xia to see that everyone had arrived. Liu Xia said, "I have an idea. This idea was inadvertently came up because of the need of the war." Chen Liu continued to take out his broken fan and fan it, and said, "Is the general talking about the garrison?" After hearing this, Liu Xia nodded slightly and said, "It is exactly this matter. The city we occupied before was guarded by the combat troops, but once it comes to the time of war, these combat troops will be transferred to the battlefield, so there will be no one to guard the city, and the armed personnel in the whole city will only have the search for investigation. There are not many people in the first place. Their responsibility is to be responsible for the public security in the city, but they are not competent to defend the tower and kill the pole to arm the enemy.

"Does the general have an idea?" Chen Liudao.

Liu Xia smiled and said, "Yes, it's the garrison just mentioned. The general envisioned setting up a garrison regiment in each house, and then using the garrison regiment to guard the local city. These garrison regiments do not need to participate in the battle, and they will not enter the battlefield unless they have to. There are many benefits to establishing a garrison. It can not only be equivalent to the training of the reserve army, but also make some old and weak old soldiers retreat and give them a way to live.

"I don't know what the general has planned?"

Liu Xia thought for a moment and said, "First, screen each brigade, screen out some old and weak troops, and then select some weaker troops from the new regiment to form a local garrison. Of course, if these soldiers have outstanding ability, they can also enter the combat corps.

"The local garrison is only responsible for the garrison tasks of local cities, and if necessary, assists in local investigation to fight crime. Luoyang has organized a garrison regiment. At present, Jiang Xin is in charge, and the regiment headquarters is stationed outside Luoyang City. Establish a Luoyang garrison camp. However, the task of defending the city in Luoyang City is the responsibility of the Guard Brigade, and the other cities are the responsibility of the garrison brigade. The two passes of Hu Prison Pass and Tong Pass are all in charge of the Guard Brigade. The Xiong Division Brigade is no longer guarding Tongguan, and at the same time, Hu Ben Brigade is no longer guarding Tiger Pass. All three regiments of the Xiongshi Brigade entered Shaanxi, allowing Liu Dazhuang to calm down Shaanxi as soon as possible. Kaifeng set up a garrison regiment and a garrison barracks in Xiangfu. Set up a garrison regiment in Ruzhou Prefecture and a garrison barracks in Xuzhou. Set up a garrison regiment in Guidefu and a garrison barracks in Shangqiu. Let the Wolf Xiao Brigade in Ruzhou enter the Runing Mansion and sweep the pole of the Runing Mansion for a peace in the Runing Mansion. At the same time, it is closely guarded against Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi.

"Let the Hu Prison Pass enter the Fengqiu north of the Yellow River, Weihui Mansion, Huaiqing Mansion and other places, focusing on preventing the Qing army and cracking down on the local landlord poles at the same time, laying the foundation for future government jurisdiction. The leopard cavalry brigade was stationed in Guidefu, Fengyangfu and other places to guard against the Nanming army. The New Corps was disbanded and two new barracks were set up in Luoyang and Xi'an. Responsible for the task of recruiting new recruits. The new barracks is under the management of the Logistics Department. In the future, Wang En will be responsible for the recruitment of troops in the new barracks, and Chen Liu, the military department, will be responsible for the where the new recruits go. After Liu Xia said, the businessman suddenly looked at Liu Xia with eager eyes. After all, the new regiment has been relegated to a new barracks, so what can he do?

Liu Xia did not look at the business, but still just said, "Five 5,000 people will be allocated to establish the Iron Eagle Guard, which is under the jurisdiction of four ordinary infantry battalions, two musket battalions, one archer battalion, one artillery battalion, and one guard force. Among them, the artillery battalion is responsible for the logistics and personnel of the artillery regiment. Sweep Gansu and other places to the west, and wipe out the enemies in Qinghai, Tibet and Hamiwei if necessary! Niu Chao was appointed as the commander of Tieyingwei, and the military rank was promoted to Yangwei School. Shang Chuang was appointed as the deputy commander, and the military rank remained unchanged for the time being. Hearing this, Shang Chuang suddenly became happy. Although his military rank had not changed, his position had been promoted a lot, and he was promoted from the head of the new regiment to the deputy commander of the combat corps, which was enough to make him excited. When he was in the new regiment, Shang Chuang even thought that even if he was a deputy commander in the combat regiment, he would not be the commander of the new regiment.

"It's a general, and my subordinates will definitely live up to expectations!"

Liu Xia nodded with satisfaction and continued, "The main officers of Tieyingwei are the students in the military school and some people in the Guard Corps to be transferred. The specific matters are decided by the Military Department. For the time being, it was decided to appoint Chen Liu, Meng Yu, Wang En, Liu Dazhuang and Wang Shitou as the riding school, which is one level higher than Yangwei School. As for others, it remains unchanged for the time being. Li Ke was appointed as the deputy commander of the Xiong Division Brigade and the head of the Lion Regiment, and was promoted to the level of Yangyong School. Shou Biao served as the captain of the Guard and was awarded the Yangwu School. Shouhu continues to serve as the deputy commander of the Investigative Department of the Guards Brigade, and his military rank remains unchanged. This Shou Biao is the brother of Shou Hu. Previously, Shou Biao was the deputy head of the Qinwei Brigade. Shouhu did not show displeasure. After all, this official position is still in the hands of his family. Liu Xia said, "Shouhu, you have too many positions, and you should be under great pressure. Therefore, let your brother be the captain of the guard for the time being. Liu Xia's move was to tell Shouhu that she didn't trust him. Isn't he still using your brother?

Shouhu got up and said, "I dare not. I will definitely do my job well!"

"Well" Liu Xia nodded and said, "As for the appointment of the garrison legion, the personnel will be uniformly dispatched by the Military Department, and then report it to me, and the general will approve it in person." Liu Xia looked at Chen Liu and said to Chen Liu. Chen Liu nodded slowly and answered.

Nowadays, Liu Xia's army is the Hu Ben Brigade to the north. The main task of the Hu Ben Brigade is to guard against the Qing army. If necessary, it can attack the Qing army. The Hu Ben Brigade is Liu Xia's most elite army, which is just right to fight against the Qing army. To the east is the weakest leopard cavalry brigade at present. Although the leopard cavalry brigade is relatively weak, it is very powerful compared with the army of Nanming. In the south is the Wolf Roar Brigade. The task of the Wolf Roar Brigade is to prevent Wu Sangui from being happy. At present, Liu Xia has no time to deal with Wu Sangui, so at this time, he can only guard against Wu Sangui from secretly coming to rob.

At present, Liu Xia's total strength is nearly 60,000. There are Qinwei Brigade, First Brigade (Hu Ben Brigade), Second Brigade (Xiong Division Brigade), Third Brigade (Wolf Xiao Brigade), Fourth Brigade (Leopard Riding Brigade), Yingyang Guard, Iron Eagle Guard, Zhangyang 3,000 Guards (no name yet), Luoyang New Barracks, Xi'an New Barracks, Luoyang Garrison Corps Battalion, Kaifeng Garrison Corps Battalion, and Guide Garrison Battalion. Ruzhou garrison battalion. The total number of the five full brigades is 40,000, with a total strength of 700 Yingyangwei and Iron Yingwei with a total strength of 5,000. Zhang Yang's army is 3,000 people, and the number of Luoyang New Barracks and Xi'an New Barracks is not fixed. The remaining four garrison regiments were 10,000. A total of 55,700 people, nearly 60,000.
