Chapter 76： Return to Suzhou

The next day, Wu Changqing held a meeting to carry out some military reorganization.

Those troops that lost their troops and lost their generals need to be supplemented, and those recruited and surrendered also need to be organized.

Qian Sule and Xiong Rulin were the ones who lost the most in the Changzhou War. They assumed the responsibility of lure the enemy from the beginning, and they had the worst weapons in the later siege.

After two battles, their 8,000 troops were reduced to 6,000. In order to restore the strength of their army, Wu Changqing added four thousand soldiers and horses to them.

However, this supplement is not to give them a group of soldiers and low-level officers, but to let Wang Dafu bring four thousand soldiers and horses directly into the Qian Su Le Club.

In this way, on the surface, Qian Sule's soldiers and horses have increased, and his strength has become stronger.

But in fact, Wang Dafu's four thousand soldiers and horses would follow Qian Sule's command. But if Qian Sule had any other ideas, he would never command Wang Dafu.

Because Wang Dafu was born as a soldier of Wu Changqing, a direct line of the direct line.

In this way, Wu Changqing weakened Qian Sule's power in disguised form, and left Qian Sule with nothing to say.

Qian Sule knew that Wu Changqing's thoughts were the same. After all, their military salary, food, and personnel supplements are now in the hands of Wu Changqing, unlike other generals who can collect taxes and make money by themselves to recruit troops.

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

At the same time, Liu Han's Third Division expanded from 6,500 to 10,000, and became the third division of the Wu Army, with Liu Hansan as the commander.

The subordinate Xue Guiren's troops were also assigned to him, and Xue Guiren became a regimental commander in the Third Division, and he was regarded as a middle and high-level commander.

Xue Guiren is not particularly satisfied with this position, but it is acceptable. For the defeated general, this fate is already pretty good.

The First Division under Wu Changqing's direct leadership was also expanded, adding 5,000 men, most of which were cold weapons units.

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

Of course, this is only the number in the plan. In fact, only about 40,000 people have completed the reorganization. There are still some people who need to be selected and trained before they can be incorporated into the army and form combat capabilities.

Fifty thousand is only the first phase of the army 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, you can basically attack Nanjing while defending your territory.

Or, with an army of 100,000, you can have a decisive battle with the Eight Banners, the main force of the Qing army. As long as the main force of the Qing army going south is defeated, the Wu army south of the Yangtze River will be able to run wild.

After all, the current Manchu force is actually not very much.

The core Manchu Eight Banners and Mongolia Eight Banners have a total strength of just over 200,000, while the Han Eight Banners are about 100,000. In addition to these, there are also green camps across the country, that is, troops like Liu Liangzuo and Li Chengdong, with about 400,000.

At first glance, it seems that the troops are quite large, but when these troops are spread across the country, they are far from enough.

Nowadays, there is still Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi regime in Sichuan to the west, with 300,000 troops, and He Tengjiao's 200,000 troops in Jiangxi, Hunan.

The Qing army had just occupied the north and needed to be divided and stationed to maintain its rule, and there were still some soldiers and horses in the northeast hometown.

Counting this down, the Manchu can actually use very few troops, and it would be a waste to send a hundred thousand troops to attack Wu Changqing at a time.

In fact, every time Wu Changqing saw the history of Manchu Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, he felt a little weird. The total strength of the Manchus when they entered the customs was a little over 120,000. With this little bit of people stunned Daming was wiped out.

I am afraid that Dorgon himself did not dare to think about this kind of thing when he entered the customs, but this is how it happened in reality.

The reason is that too many Han generals surrendered. They all seemed to have been surrendered without a fight.

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

Whenever he thinks of these examples, Wu Changqing knows that the army must be changed. Leading generals are never allowed to recruit and expand their army and collect taxes privately, 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 frequently move their positions. 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 highest commander cannot command the same army for a long time, they will not be able to thoroughly control those soldiers and low-level generals.

After reorganizing the army, the second and third divisions stayed in Changzhou. Wu Changqing returned to Suzhou with the first division of the main force. He was always by his side for this most critical unit.

As long as this force is still in hand, Liu Hansan and Qian Sule both defected to him, and there is still a chance of a comeback.

But if this flintlock unit were gone, he would have to stamp his feet distressedly.

When they arrived in Suzhou, people who had been informed had already left the city to greet and watch the triumphant division.

Now Wu Jun has become the pride of Suzhou people. This invincible team with victorious battles has made Suzhou people proud.

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

Moreover, there are many Suzhou people in this army, and they account for a large proportion.

Knowing that the people were onlookers, Wu Changqing ordered the Cold Weapon Unit to detour back to the barracks, while the flintlock unit went around in front of the people. It was a military parade.

Naturally, the military parade cannot go like a normal march. You must maintain a good formation and get out of the momentum, that is, you must take a positive step like normal training.

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

Followed by a square, marching army.

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

Where did the ancient people have seen this kind of formation? This kind of formation had a great visual impact on people, and it made people feel excited and could not help but admire it.

"This is the Wu Jun we are invincible, even walking is so mighty and majestic."

"With such military appearance, it is no wonder that every battle wins."

Some wealthy businessmen have already taken up good positions, and Wu Jun's momentum can be seen clearly.

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

"The teacher's ability to train soldiers is the most powerful. It would be nice if the school could offer a military course."

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

"I heard that Feng Xianzhong has completed elementary physics by himself, and I am afraid that he will be given a heavy responsibility next time."

The voices of these students are full of envy, but that is all an opportunity to become an official.

The 4th Brigade returned to the barracks after a short half-circle around the city, and Wu Changqing also returned home.

The little lady and Zihe are both in the yard, and they seem to have been waiting for quite a while.

A smile appeared on Chen Yuyan's face when Wu Changqing entered the door. I don't know if it was because of being too happy, tears still loomed in the corner of his eyes.

"Why, do you miss me?"

Wu Changqing hugged him, and the other servants turned their heads when they saw it, pretending they hadn't seen it.

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

Chen Yuyan was angry and anxious. It was enough to do some humiliating and intimate actions in front of Zihe. She still looks like this in front of so many people, so how can she see people in the future and how to maintain her prestige in front of them.

Wu Changqing smiled and put it down.

"Go boil some water and bathe me."

Wu Changqing confessed to Zihe, Xiaobie wins newlyweds. Wu Changqing has been hungry and thirsty for a long time in the army camp with a large group of men.
