Shi San and Qiu Wei were concerned about following the commander of the road to conquer. Hou Xiaoming was most concerned about whether Huo Bao followed him and was sure that Huo Bao would lead his troops himself, so he would have nothing to say.

Li Yuan was thinking too much and was very concerned about the 100,000 new recruits recruited from Taiping Prefecture, Jinling Prefecture, and Zhenjiang Prefecture.

The recruitment was based on the household registration booklets in various places, and the lower age limit was 16 years old.

Now three months have passed, and this group of new recruits have also been trained.

Before, there was a gap between the child soldiers and several other marshals.

After several expansions of the army, the gap has been much smaller, and the number of child soldiers has exceeded 10,000.

The few other marshals had 20,000 people, and the more were 30,000 or 40,000.

But if these 100,000 new soldiers are divided, the other troops will be doubled, and the child soldiers will still have 10,000 people, which will appear thin. In the future, they will only be partial troops and will be difficult to become the main force.

Now it is a chaotic time, and among the Chuzhou army, military achievements are the most important.

If it weren't for this, Deng Jian's status would not have surpassed that of the Mazhaizhu, Du Laoba and others, becoming the second member of the Chuzhou Army.

If the child soldier does not want to fall too far into other teams, he should expand his army, otherwise he will not be able to become the main force, so how can he achieve military merits?

"Master Bao, the new soldiers in the camp have been trained almost the same. Can they be used as Quyang..." Li Yuan thought for a while and couldn't help asking.

Quyang incident?

At the end of April last year, Deng Jian led more than 20,000 soldiers from Quyang to Baishan and assigned more than 20,000 people, and drew 1,000 soldiers who had just become a sixteen or seven-year-old soldier and took them to Huo Bao's name.

This group of Quyang soldiers is now the backbone of the child soldiers.

When Li Yuan spoke, everyone calmed down.

The total number of child soldiers is more than 10,000, but now there are five divisions, three divisions of combat soldiers, the General Staff and Logistics Department.

The three units of war soldiers combined, and there were ten thousand people.

Hou Xiaoming is now holding five thousand deputy generals, but his army has only four thousand soldiers, which is the largest among the three.

Qiu Wei and Shi San were the "deputy deputy general", but the men under his command were 3,000.

Even if the army is not expanded, only 5,000 people are left before the three troops are fully engraved.

As a general, I will never dislike the number of soldiers.

Not only Shi San was excited, but Qiu Wei also looked forward to it. Now his subordinates are still 3,000 people left by Tang Guang.

In addition to combat soldiers, there are also large vacant logistics soldiers. Now there are more than a thousand logistics soldiers, which is even further away from combat soldiers and logistics soldiers.

It was Li Yuan's general staff. Two groups of general staff were born, and the only ones that could be used were the first group of hundreds of people selected from the camp.

Huo Bao looked at everyone and said, "This morning, the generals' military congress agreed to set up the units for each department, and the child soldiers were assigned to 20,000, three combat soldiers, three thousand logistics soldiers, one thousand civilians under the staff, five hundred supervisory teams and law enforcement teams, and one thousand personal soldiers..."

"Custom-programmed?"

Li Yuan was not happy and worried: "Then I won't add anyone in the future?"

He was not disgusted with the small number of staff, but was shocked by the "decision" of "decision".

You should know that the Chuzhou Army has been expanding rapidly since Heimen Mountain formed an army.

At first, there were three villages in Mangtou Village, Mangshou Village and Qingshe Village on the mountain, and the total number of combat soldiers and errand soldiers was more than 2,000.

When everyone went down the mountain, Deng Jian led Quyang's troops to surrender, and the Chuzhou army suddenly expanded to more than 20,000 people.

Then he captured Chuzhou and Binjiang, and the total force exceeded 30,000.

Since then, the Chuzhou Army has been established.

Even after the "Chuzhou Incident" was released, Tu San was expelled and thousands of soldiers were given out, but it was not hurt.

After conquering the battles, they attacked Hezhou, entered Luzhou, crossed the river to fight Taiping and Jinling, and then went to Zhenjiang to fight against Yangzhou. With the victory of one state and one prefecture, the officers and soldiers were constantly recruited, and the troops of each unit increased many times. The least were soldiers with a small number of 20,000, while the most were soldiers with 30,000 or 40,000.

After this, the only heir to the Chuzhou Army was determined, and the only heir to Huo Bao, but to several marshals.

Will the generals not allow the expansion of troops in the future?

Will such obvious restrictions on military power arouse dissatisfaction among the generals?

Zhu Qiang said happily: "We are now 12,000 or more, and there are 7,000 more at once, but it's a lot!"

He is now in charge of the logistics department, with auxiliary soldiers, commanders and errand soldiers under his command. He used to have more than 1,000 people, but now he has a full rank, which is 3,000 people. Although he cannot compare with the number of soldiers in the three divisions, he is not small, which is very satisfying.

Both the battalion commander of the personal barracks and the captain of the law enforcement team are Zhu Gang. Now Zhu Gang is still in Lingshui Gold Mine, and the battalion commander of the personal barracks is vacant. The captain of the law enforcement team will be temporarily replaced by Zhu Qiang.

He had a reputation before, but there were not enough soldiers, and Zhu Gang's position was somewhat marginalized among the child soldiers.

There were many vacant soldiers on both sides before, but now they are reorganized and filled up, and there are still 1,500 people, so they will be more confident in the future.

With Liang Zhuang's example in front, Zhu Qiang didn't want his brother to fall into that situation.

It is true that all the young people are growing up. If Zhu Gang is always marginalized and has no real power, he will either be replaced or destroy everyone.

Now Song Qianzhi is in charge of the supervision team. Seeing Li Yuan's expression, he also thought about it.

Where there are people, there will be disputes.

Not to mention elsewhere, there are factions among the child soldiers from the beginning, and the Chuzhou Army is no exception.

The Song family had been on the supervision list before, not only because the Song clans themselves were not cautious, but also because others were planning to do so.

However, Song Lin's status is here, he was the first gentry family to join the White Shirt Army, and he has an old age with Master Lin, so he can't be replaced by others just if he wants to.

The Chuzhou military generals have become independent since the beginning, and there are fewer intrigues, but Huo Wu's control over these men has also become much weaker.

With the "definite editor", even if there are some complaints for the time being, it is not a bad thing in the long run.

But this idea was obviously not from Taiwei Huo.

If Taiwei Huo had such a defensive heart, he would not have given up his military power at the beginning.

Is it Mr. Lin?

If several marshals were dissatisfied with venting their anger, would they vent their anger into the entire civil service system? Is it a confrontation between civil and military personnel?

Like Li Yuan and Song Qianzhi, there are only a few people who think more, and most of them are Zhu Qiang's thinking.

It was about to go to war, and there were more than 7,000 people, so I was happy.

Qiu Wei, led by Zhu Qiang, Shi San and others, took Huo Bao's warrant and went to Jinling camp to pick people.

Only then did Huo Bao get to talk to the brothers An Changsheng, Li Yu, and Jia.

An Changsheng was originally a military clan, and Huo Bao had no worries, but Li Yu and the Jia brothers were different.

"How is it? It's been two months, how can I get used to it?"

Li Yu looked at the Jia brothers and did not speak first.

He was not old, but his personality was slightly sleek. He knew that he was born into a merchant family and could not compare with An Changsheng's confidence, nor with the Jia brothers.

Jia Daihua said with shame: "I dragged everyone down. It's not easy for soldiers to train. It used to be a 'paper talk'..."

Jia Daishan smiled and said, "The first ten-day exam, my brother got two. If it weren't for the literary exam, it would be three, haha!"

Jia Daihua's face was flushed, and he was helpless when he held his heartless brother.

Li Yu hurriedly said: "When the second ten-day exam is over, Brother Jia will win the score..."

Jia Daishan nodded and said, "Yes, my brother is very careful. Not only do he get the score, but he only takes the last ten-day exam in the first lunar month. He also starts practicing archery in the middle and lower levels. He also starts practicing long swords..."

Huo Bao took a closer look at Jia Daihua.

Compared with the weak boy last year, Jia Daihua's body looked a little stronger, and there was a bit of perseverance between his eyebrows and eyes.

Although he was not old and was only fifteen years old, he was a child at thirteen. The reason why he did not become a thirteen-year-old scholar was not because he had insufficient homework, but because there was no examination in the hospital two years ago.

By last year, the white-shirted soldiers in various places rebelled, the Jiangnan Academy examination was also stopped, and the road to the imperial examination in Jia Daihua was over.

Now that literature has turned into martial arts, it is not beyond Huo Bao's expectations that he can protect this troubled times.

His son Jia Yan has been transformed into martial arts. Now he is not as good as his younger brother Jia Yuan, who has always been good at martial arts, but the difference is not too big.
