Chapter 109 The adopted son

(Daw, this updated chapter is going to go to the Internet cafe, tossing people!)

The number of soldiers has more than doubled. Originally, the number of the four platoons has now reached more than 100. Although it is comparable to the number of companies in the modern army, it is still far from the number of companies in the early modern army. After thinking about it, Xiao Tianjian finally decided to upgrade the four platoons to four companies. Without complication, each company is directly named after one, two, three, and each company can continue to make up for expansion in the future. Xing Tianjun also officially began to compile these soldiers with the company as a unit and the opponent.

Just because of the limited number of troops now, the company's staffing can only be temporarily short-staffed. Each company is temporarily under the jurisdiction of 100 people, plus the guards of fire soldiers and officers. Each company is temporarily staffed to 110 people. One company temporarily has two platoons, which are also directly called one platoon and two platoons. When there is a chance to replenish their manpower in the future. It has been expanded into a standard company of 250 people. Among the four companies, three are still the long gunner company. The A company is the knife player company led by Yan Chongxi. Among them, Huang Shengqiang's original fire pistol is also included in Yan Chongxi's company. Who has only more than 30 useful fire pistols and bird guns at present! If he wants to get more musketeers, he doesn't have the ability at the time! As for the small amount of three-eyed guns seized, Xiao Tianjian disdained to use it at all. His javelin is more powerful than the three-eyed guns. He can't specifically occupy human hands to use it, so the three-eyed guns were all destroyed by him and used to create three-eyed thorns.

The other three companies are the second company led by Zhao Erlu, the third company led by Feng Gouzi, and the Ding company led by Li Shuanzhu, all of which are still the company of spearmen. What the war pursues is the output of their own firepower to the enemy and transmit the casualties to the place. At present, the best situation is that Xiao Tianjian can give his Xing Tianjun as much equipment as possible. Prepare some muskets so that they can form a dense fire suppression on the battlefield, but unfortunately, Xiao Tianjian has not been able to obtain the ability to equip his soldiers with a large number of muskets so far.

Therefore, before the musket has become the main long-range weapon of his Xingtian Army, the javelin can't be completely abandoned for the time being. At present, the javelin is not weak in power to deal with ordinary enemies. Therefore, as an important part of firepower output, the javelin still cannot be banned, so one of the platoons in each company It is also equipped with javels, which can provide them with emergency medium and short-range fire suppression, so as to reduce their dependence on bows and arrows, so that Xing Tianjun can quickly have a certain degree of medium and short-range firepower output.

As for the remaining 50 people in the soldiers, Xiao Tianjian handed over to Shi Ran's squadron to serve as scouts. All of them were equipped with war horses and formed a small-scale cavalry team. When they went to battle, in addition to being used as scouts, they had initially had a certain ability to attack cavalry.

It's a pity that most of the cavalry under Shi Ran's men are from farmers and can ride horses. However, the experience of fighting on horseback is very lacking, so Xiao Tianjian did not expect them to have strong combat effectiveness in a short time now, but at least they can be used as scouts. The cavalry is more expensive than the infantry, and the war horse consumes many times more food than an infantryman. In addition, the war horse is not much, so he can only do this temporarily.

As for the archers, after this battle, Xiao Tianjian got a lot of bows and arrows, but after selecting them, after eliminating those inferior bows and some soft bows and hunting bows, there is not much left, but all the remaining more than 30 bows belong to the steps of military equipment. The quality of the bow is quite good. It is a hard bow of more than nine buckets, which is very rare in the market. Its value even exceeds the value of the musket, so it makes Yan Chongxi very greedy.

Originally, Xiao Tianjian still wanted to completely eliminate the bow in the army, but this time he had to adopt his opinions. After all, his muskets were still too small, and he could not get more muskets in a short time, so the weapon of bow could not be completely abandoned for the time being. These 30 bows were finally defeated by Yan Chongxi and Shi Ranyao. I went and selected some new veterans who can shoot arrows and gave them equipment, which can still play a certain role when necessary.

After this reorganization is completed, the new barracks are useless. There are only a dozen soldiers who were originally transferred to the new barracks as temporary instructors. They have to go back to the barracks to work.

But Xiao Tianjian immediately rejected their request: "Liu Bao! The new barracks can't be separated! You will also be the instructor of the new barracks in the future! You go to the people outside the mountain now to recruit new soldiers for me, as well as the men of the poles who have just been cast, are also integrated into the new barracks, and it's up to you!

In the future, anyone who enters the war barracks must now accept your basic training in the new barracks. Only after they are qualified can they be integrated into the barracks! What you do is very important. Don't feel useless!

To put it bluntly, you are the hematopoietic machines of the barracks. You can't slack off a little! As for the combat skills, you don't have to worry about it. As long as you train the new recruits well, you will have a share of the combat skills! Doing this well is very important to our Xing Tianjun! Don't be careless!"

Liu Bao originally thought that he could return to the barracks this time. At least this time he could be a platoon leader. His instructors could at least work as a squad leader or something, but he didn't expect that Xiao Tianjian would not let them go back and still let them be responsible for training the new soldiers. He was a little reluctant, but he did not dare. Don't say it. Thinking about Xiao Tianjian's words, he thinks it makes sense. If the soldiers need to be replenished in the army in the future, if you casually add people who have not been trained, it is bound to seriously reduce the combat effectiveness of the army, and it will cause trouble. This new barracks is really useful.

Although I do this, I can't do it like the soldiers. It's a little uncomfortable to fight on the front line! But Xiao Tianjian also said that as long as he has combat achievements, there will be a share of them. What else is he unwilling to do?

So Liu Bao immediately replied loudly, "Yes! I understand the palm plate! The little one must try his best to do it well!"

After Liu Bao got the order, he just turned around and left. Before Xiao Tianjian had time to do other things, he saw a teenager running to his side and clenched his fist on his chest, and gave him a standard military salute in the Xingtian Army.

"Oh? Yao Ben! Why don't you stay in the stockade and come to me? The expression on Xiao Tianjian's face immediately softened a lot. He smiled and lowered his head and asked the teenager.

"Pie back to the plate! Although Yaoben is young, he doesn't want to go on like this for nothing. I'm waiting for a few little brothers to recommend me to come to you today. I want to beg him to join us into the army! I hope you can agree!" It was not someone else who came, but Liu Yaoben who chatted with Lv Rongxuan that night.

Lv Rongxuan promised that Liu Yao would help him lobby Xiao Tianjian and ask Xiao Tianjian to accept Liu Yaoben as his adopted son. In the past two days, Lv Rongxuan has found Xiao Tianjian in private and told Xiao Tianjian about this matter once in private.

Xiao Tianjian liked Liu Yaoben very much, but he did not refuse, so he agreed by the way, because he also knew that Liu Yaoben's father was also one of his old subordinates. The last time he attacked Fan Jiabao, he was unfortunately killed in front of the battle, making Liu Yaoben an orphan, so he had the responsibility to take care of this. The little guy didn't refuse, so he agreed.
