Logically speaking, with Lu Su's intelligence and character, he would not be so excited. It's just that the effect of this channel is too great! It makes him a little bit out of control.

As long as you occupy this passage, you have the right time and place, and you have the initiative. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat!

From now on, there is no need to worry about the safety of the rear area of ​​the territory for a period of time.

But discovering the passage is not a matter of a day or two, so we can only wait patiently.

After Lu Su waited for Yang Song to finish talking about this matter, and seeing that the lord had nothing else to do, he stepped forward and said.

"Lord, I wonder if there is a military rank system in the territory?"

"The military rank system? Is it the military hierarchy divided into sergeants, second lieutenants, colonels, and lieutenant generals?" Yang Song asked curiously.

Lu Su affirmed: "Yes."

"That's not true. Before you came, the territory only had an army of a thousand people. It's useless to have this!" Yang Song explained.

"That's true." Lu Su thought for a while and decided that it would be better to say it directly, and said: "Actually, there are military ranks in the infantry brigade. If the territory does not have them, do you think it should be cancelled?"

"Oh? Really, tell me." Lu Su successfully aroused his curiosity.

Lu Su calmed down, as if he was organizing his words, and said: "Subordinates, let's talk from high to low." After seeing the lord nodding, he continued.

"Brigadier Di has the rank of major general. There are four levels of general rank: major general, lieutenant general, senior general and senior general."

After Lu Su introduced the general's rank, he smiled and said: "So it is not an exaggeration to call Brigadier Di a general, hehe! His subordinates have to be one level lower and be given the rank of colonel."

Di Qing, who was standing aside, saw Yang Song looking at him, so he rubbed his head in embarrassment and said: "Whether a general is a general or not is entirely decided by the lord, so don't make fun of me, Staff Officer Lu!"

Yang Song turned around and smiled, and said to Lu Su: "Haha, keep talking, Colonel Lu!" Does this count as acknowledgment of the military rank system?

"I obey!" Lu Su ignored the lord's teasing and continued to explain: "Below the general is the captain, also called the school level. There are three levels, namely major, lieutenant colonel and colonel. These three levels are mid-level officers.

"

"Below the captain are the captains, also called captains. There are also three levels, namely second lieutenant, lieutenant and captain. These three levels belong to lower-level officers." Lu Su continued after mentioning the ranks of military officers in one breath.

"Below the officers, there are non-commissioned officers. Non-commissioned officers are not officers, but professional professional soldiers. Non-commissioned officers are divided into six levels, namely corporal, sergeant, staff sergeant, third-level sergeant major, second-level sergeant major, and first-level sergeant major!"

"Below the non-commissioned officers are soldiers. Soldiers also have military ranks, divided into three levels: private, soldier, and soldier. In fact, if I insist on saying that, there should be four levels of soldiers, that is, there is also a level of recruits, but soldiers only need to go through three months of recruitment.

After training, you become a private, so there is no such level in military ranks."

Lu Su didn't give in and just said what he always wanted to say in one go.

"Yes, yes! Yes, the army in the territory will implement this military rank system in the future. I thought about it, and there are advantages to implementing it earlier. At least the framework is set up, and the army will implement the military rank system sooner or later. If it is implemented now

Just confer military ranks on another thousand people, it won't take much trouble!" Yang Song was very happy after hearing this and decided immediately.

But the actual granting of military ranks to another thousand people still needs to be discussed. At least there must be a regular infantry brigade. It is impossible that all the cavalry will be under the control of Zhou Wu and the infantry will be under the control of Zhang Wei. Only

A complete combination like an infantry brigade is like an army!

Yang Song thought about it carefully and asked: "How many troops are there in a regular infantry battalion?" He couldn't remember it so clearly or in detail.

"Back to the lord, a regular infantry battalion has a total of 1,100 people! It includes a regular infantry formation, a long-distance attack formation, an artillery battalion, a siege battalion, and a light cavalry battalion. The whole battalion has twenty-seven doors.

Field artillery, eighteen siege artillery pieces. The light cavalry brigade totals one hundred and eight men!"

Regarding the formation of the infantry brigade, Lu Suna was really clear-minded and replied directly without even thinking about it.

"Tell me more carefully!" Yang Song thought for a while and asked Lu Su to explain in more detail.

"Yes!" Lu Su replied: "There are nine brigades in the whole battalion. The regular army formation is divided into a close combat brigade, a heavy equipment brigade, and a long-range attack brigade. The long-range attack formation is composed of three long-range attack brigades.

The brigade, including the other three separate brigade, is organized into a regular infantry battalion."

"Each brigade has 108 people, but after counting the two military formations, each military formation has 350 people. In addition to the fifty-man battalion, the entire battalion is counted.

The total number of officers and soldiers, including the battalion commander, is exactly 1,100."

After thinking about what else he needed to add, Lu Su said: "By the way, the melee brigade in the conventional formation is divided into three squadrons: a sword and shield squadron, a spear squadron, and a heavy infantry squadron. All of them

The battalion has four long-distance attack groups, each of which has two strong crossbow squadrons and one company crossbow squadron."

"Each squadron has thirty-six people, and each squad has twelve people!" Lu Su thought of the military rank system and said: "The battalion commander generally has the rank of lieutenant colonel, with a major Sima as an assistant."

"The commander of the formation is a captain, with a lieutenant as his deputy. The captain has the rank of lieutenant, the squadron leader has the rank of second lieutenant, and the squad leader has the rank of non-commissioned officer." Lu Su introduced it in detail now.

"Okay, I got it, thank you for your hard work! I didn't expect that a simple infantry battalion has so many skills, thank you for remembering it!" Yang Song praised Lu Su.

"It's nothing, it's just a subordinate's duty." Lu Su said modestly.

"Zijing, do you think another thousand people are suitable to be organized into a regular infantry battalion?" Yang Song still valued Lu Su, a wise man, so he asked for his opinion and wanted to hear his opinion.

"Lord, I know that among these thousand people there are 300 cavalry, 300 archers, and the remaining 400 spearmen. Is that correct?" Lu Su wanted to obtain information before giving an opinion.

"Yes, three hundred cavalry are under the control of Zhou Wu, and seven hundred infantry are under the control of Zhang Wei. Therefore, I appoint Zhou Wu as the commander of the cavalry and Zhang Wei as the commander of the infantry. But now it seems that this simple organization is very problematic!"

Yang Song replied affirmatively.

"Then, please forgive me for overstepping your bounds." Yang Song did not expect that Lu Su would apologize before giving advice, and replied with a little curiosity: "It's okay, Zijing, just say it!"

"Thank you, lord!" Lu Su thanked Yang Song for his generosity and said directly: "My subordinates suggest that these thousand people be organized into an infantry battalion. In addition, I learned that the lord only has ten guards, and I boldly suggest that you expand your army."

The Guards amount to three hundred men!"
Chapter completed!
