"The Imperial Guards can be directly expanded into a brigade." Yang Song said directly: "Gu Guan Zhou Wu is also useful in recent years. Being a major general and brigade commander is still enough to be promoted."

"Yes, I'll obey the order!" Seeing that Yang Song had made a decision, the two of them accepted the order in unison and said yes.

In fact, Yang Song had this change, which was related to the number of adapted troops. There were more troops outside, so his direct troops could not be too few, which was not conducive to the rule of the army by his monarch!

Liu Ji and Li Jing were just thinking about all the things in this, so they simply agreed to Yang Song's change to the plan.

"The Jinyiwei expanded to a battalion, and the Imperial Guards expanded to a brigade." Li Jing immediately changed his plan.

Liu Ji thought about it: "Because the King's direct Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guard have a special status, I suggest that the Jinyiwei be organized into a heavy brigade, a melee brigade, a long-distance brigade, a light cavalry brigade, and an artillery brigade. This organization can ensure that every brigade outside has Jinyiwei to be stationed."

Yang Song smiled satisfied with Liu Ji's suggestion and said, "Bowen's suggestion is good. In this way, no matter what kind of troops are stationed outside, the Jinyiwei can send people to act as a military police."

"I am ashamed." Liu Ji bowed: "Compared with the previous plan, I am just a matter of repairing the problem of the dead."

"Jing Junshu said this to Liu Junshi." Li Jing immediately reacted and then expressed his suggestions: "I suggest that the brigade of the Imperial Guards be organized into a heavy brigade, which can allow the Imperial Guards to play a final role when acting as a strategic reserve."

"Well, then what is the organization of this heavy brigade?" Yang Song asked.

After discussing for a while with Liu Ji, Li Jing and Liu Ji replied: "The heavy-armed brigade and the conventional brigade are roughly the same, and they also have a brigade headquarters of 300 people, but the five battalions under their jurisdiction are one of the heavy-armed brigades, one of the heavy cavalry battalions, one of the conventional brigades, one of the far-distance camps, and one of the artillery battalions."

"The artillery of the heavy-armed brigade also has 60 field artillery and 30 siege artillery." Liu Ji continued to add: "The difference from the conventional brigade is that there is one more heavy-armed battalion and one more heavy cavalry battalion, and there are two less regular battalions."

After listening to the instructions of the two, Yang Song thought about it carefully and found that compared with the original infantry brigade, there were fewer heavy cavalry and heavy infantry in the same unit, which made it more convenient for a large number of organizational establishments.

"Although the heavy infantry and heavy cavalry are large in the Heavy Brigade, they usually guard the Tianqi City, and can exert their powerful combat power after going to the battlefield, which can kill two birds with one stone." Liu Ji said as he also touched his beard with satisfaction with the design of this organization.

"Since that's the case, then make the preparations as Bowen and the pharmacist said." Yang Song thought for a while, and had no other opinions on this, so he agreed to the two of them.

"In this way, the number of troops in our country has reached 40,000 and 500." Li Jingxin calculated and gave a specific number.

"No, no, no~!" Yang Song shook his head at the number. In the puzzled eyes of the two, he smiled mysteriously and said, "It should be 42,000 people."

Liu Ji and Li Jing frowned at the number proposed by Yang Song and repeatedly calculated it in their hearts several times. For the additional 1,500 people, they were confused about the military strength of a battalion.

Yang Song looked at the puzzled gazes of the two, laughed and said, "There is another camp called the 'Shenji Camp'! It is an army that Gu is preparing to form."

"Shenji Camp?" the two of them asked in the same voice: "What kind of army is this?" "What kind of army is this?"

"Don't worry, when the Shenji Camp is established, you will know that now let Gu buy a close call first." Although Yang Song has a clear idea of ​​what the newly formed "Shenji Camp" is now, he is not sure about the specifics.

"Pharmacist, you can take this plan back first and change it as you said today." Yang Song returned the note on the table that he had not looked at for a few times to Li Jing.

Li Jing took the note with respect and lowered his head and said, "Yes, I will make a good change."

"As for the establishment of Shenji Camp, you only need to write the name and number of people of the 'Shenji Camp'." Yang Song ordered Li Jing: "In addition, prepare 1,500 soldiers who have been through the battlefield for a long time for the Gu."

"Yes, Master!" Li Jing took the note, nodded to Yang Song's request, and then asked, "I wonder if Master has any other requests for these 1,500 soldiers?"

"Yeah~!" Yang Song supported his chin, pondered for a moment, and replied: "Prepare a brigade of cavalry, a brigade of artillery, and the other three brigades are powerful crossbow soldiers."

"Yes, I obey the order!" After Li Jing knew Yang Song's specific request, he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to make any mistakes, and he was biased.

"I'm going to leave!" After everything was resolved and Yang Song had nothing to give, the two of them retreated in unison.

That night, Li Jing came to the monarch's mansion again. He handed over the revised plan to Yang Song for review. Yang Song looked carefully and saw that there was no problem, he stamped the monarch's seal.

The plan to stamp the monarch's seal represents the formal implementation, and the reorganization and expansion of the army have officially begun.

Of course, the degree of adaptation this time is greater than the last time. Although the number of people has increased by more than one, with the experience of the last time, Li Jing's execution this time is easier.

Not long after, Li Jing brought the 1,500 people Yang Song needed to a newly built military camp designated by Yang Song outside Tianqi City.

"Zhuang Wei, how many muskets are made in the arsenal?" Yang Song asked Zhuang Wei, the director of the Equipment Bureau, who is now in charge of the equipment bureau. This Zhuang Wei is also one of the five thousand talents.

Zhuang Wei clasped his fists at Yang Song and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty! Since the drilling lathe driven by the steam engine, the production speed of muskets has been greatly improved. To this day, there have been nearly two thousand smoothbore flintlock muskets installed in front."

"Two thousand? This number is pretty good." Yang Song thought to himself. It took half a year from the birth of a steam engine to the production of qualified lathes, and it has only been less than half a year from the production of lathes to now. It is already very good to have the current results.

You should know that it is not possible to produce finished products immediately after owning machinery and equipment. After assembling the steam engine and lathe, it still needs to be repeatedly debugged to achieve stable efficiency, and the production process must be developed and produced according to the design drawings.

With the manufacturing process, trial production is still necessary. The produced products cannot be used directly and need to be processed.

For example, if you use a drilling lathe to drill the barrel of a musket, do you need to heat the steel rod before drilling it, or do you directly perform cold processing? What should you do to avoid loss of accuracy?

The problems can not be solved overnight. Even if the barrel has been drilled and qualified, the burr removal, appearance details processing, tail sealing and medicine door...

Finally, after establishing a complete set of production lines to produce muskets, it has only happened in the past two months.
Chapter completed!
