After reading Tan Lun's letter, Li Xu laughed.

Because the letter said two things, the first thing was that this time the attack on Ning County County was huge and the conditions for expanding the army were already in place.

Tan Lun suggested that the existing army be expanded to 40,000 at once, including 5,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, and the artillery and baggage battalions account for another 5,000 places.

The remaining 10,000 places were all summoned to the peasants, and two thousand were selected from them to train them into militias.

Li Xu naturally had no objection. He wanted to be more violent, so that many things would be much more calm when doing them.

The second thing Tan Lun suggested that the previous decision be cancelled and the impersonation of the Wei army was changed, so that it would be easier to attract the attention of the Qin court and better mobilize the Qin army.

Tan Lun also said that he had sent someone to spread the news of defeating the Qin Imperial Guard, and deliberately released the news that he was intending to join forces with Gao Huzi to fight against Qin. It is believed that Gao Huzi would send someone to contact him soon.

Li Xu didn't expect Tan Lun to think of the same place as him. He was happy and naturally had no objection.

Finally, Tan Lun also offered Li Xu a plan. If this plan is successful, it will not only greatly weaken the Qin State's military strength, but Li Xu will also take the opportunity to become a rookie and powerful figure in the Qin State's army, and legitimately control the counties in North Guanzhong.

After careful consideration, Li Xu thought it was very feasible.

I quickly wrote a reply to Tan Lun and sent someone to send it out.

Li Xu returned to the study and ordered the guards to guard the door, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

After everything was explained, Li Xu clicked on the system panel and began the work of expanding the army.

According to Tan Lun's suggestion, Li Xu expanded the cavalry to five thousand, including one thousand lancers and four thousand light cavalry.

Among the 30,000 infantrymen, musketeers expanded from one battalion to four battalions, with a total of 6,000 people.

The heavy armored infantry has also expanded to a total of 1,500 battalions, and will become a heavy armored infantry battalion alone in the future.

The Fuji Shield soldiers were also expanded to 1,500, and they will be organized into a single assault infantry battalion in the future.

Grenadiers have expanded to 1,500 people and will be organized into a single grenadier battalion in the future.

The crossbow soldiers also expanded to 1,500 people and formed a single crossbow soldiers battalion.

What remains are still infantry battalions composed of spearmen and archers in a one-to-one ratio.

Finally, the artillery expanded to 150 artillery groups, including eighty eagle cannons, sixty long heavy cannons, and ten divine fire flying crows.

After filling up the 40,000 soldiers, all the remaining places were used to summon farmers, and the ratio of men to women was seven to three, with men accounting for the majority, which was also to prepare for the expansion of the militia team and the expansion of the baggage battalion in the future.

After dealing with all this on the system, Li Xu suddenly felt that the organization of these troops he was using now was a bit out of place.

As the army grows, the establishment of battalions as the basic unit in the past will be inconvenient in actual command and combat.

When I read novels in the past, the protagonists who traveled back to the ancient times often formed an army according to the modern military system. Some people would find it awkward to read it, and it was a poisonous point to criticize the author.

In fact, according to Li Xu's understanding, the military organization is constantly changing based on various factors such as war situations, weapons and social development.

In the Age of Hot Weapons, armies of various countries generally adopted the platoons of military division brigades and battalions, because this organization is more suitable for the war needs of the Age of Hot Weapons, making it easier to command and combat.

If we reach the age of hot weapons and form an army with various military systems in the age of cold weapons, it will not only be awkward to call it, but also cause many problems.

The military system is constantly changing, and it is based on adapting to the war situation and battlefield needs, rather than just doing what you want.

Of course, if this modern military system was developed in the era of cold weapons, it would indeed be very inconsistent.

In addition to this, many people also think that the squads of the military advisors and brigades and battalions seem to be modern words, but in fact, these words have appeared long ago in ancient times.

For example, the division and brigade appeared in the military system when it was in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The division was larger than the brigade, and the generals who commanded the first division were called division commanders.

The head of the brigade is called the brigade coach.

Li Xu's army is destined to be dominated by muskets and cannons in the future. It is obviously inappropriate to use the military system of the cold weapon era, and it will feel awkward to command it himself.

Therefore, after considering it, he planned to reorganize the army after the expansion is completed and adopt a new military system to better adapt to current needs.

When he thought of it, he sat down. Li Xu found paper and pen to write and draw on the table, and soon outlined the new military organization and command system.

According to Li Xu's design, the army of 40,000 people will be organized into a legion.

Of course I am the commander of the legion, that is, the commander.

The legion had a general staff department, and Tan Lun was naturally the chief of staff, equipped with several staff officers, commanders and a 500-man reconnaissance battalion.

Next, six thousand musketeers were formed into a muskete division, with two muskete regiments under them, each of which was three thousand men, that is, two battalions.

The organization of 1,500 people per battalion remains unchanged for the time being.

Five thousand cavalry are organized into a cavalry division, divided into two cavalry regiments, each with two thousand five hundred men. Each regiment includes a lancer battalion composed of five hundred men.

In addition, a heavy armored infantry battalion of 1,500 people, a Vine-Shield Barracks of 1,500 people, a Grenadier Battalion of 1,500 people, and a crossbow barracks of 1,500 people, a total of 6,000 people, was formed into a heavy assault division.

The artillery casino was changed to an artillery regiment and was organized into three hundred artillery pieces.

The missing artillery will be filled later.

The remaining 18,000 light infantry were organized into two light infantry divisions, each with nine thousand men, divided into two regiments, with three battalions each.

The Light Cavalry Division is a conventional infantry composed of spearmen and archers.

In addition to the above-mentioned soldiers, Li Xu also plans to form a logistics division of 6,000 people and a militia regiment of 3,000 people.

Although the logistics division and militia regiment cannot be fully charged, it will be much more convenient to put on the shelves first and then replenish them later.

After the organization changes, the titles of officers from each branch will also change.

The division is the division commander, the regiment is the regiment commander, and the battalion commander is the battalion commander. The previous titles of the brigade captain, squadron leader and squad leader must also be changed accordingly, and they will be replaced by the familiar company squad leader.

The sergeant commander was also replaced by the deputy squad leader.

Li Xu currently does not use this brigade level because he feels unnecessary.

His military command system is very flat. When Li Xu, the commander-in-chief, was not around, his daily training and operations were temporarily under the responsibility of Chief of Staff Tan Lun.

The commanders of each division and the commanders of the artillery regiments and militia regiments reported directly to Tan Lun.

The following will be responsible for reporting at the level and level.

Although this framework still needs to be added, for example, from regiment level to division level units, Li Xu did not have it but did not have it.

Li Xu also thought about it, but it is not too late to put on the shelf first and replenish it later.
Chapter completed!
