Among the regiments and camps under Yang Zhen, in addition to the musketeers, grenadiers and artillery regiments directly under the Eastern Expeditionary Army, there are already four regiments and camps outside the department.

They are the Songshan Regiment Camp stationed in the Songshan area in western Liaoning, the Jinzhou Regiment Camp stationed in and around Jinzhou City, the Fuzhou Regiment Camp stationed in the Fuzhou City area, and the Zhuanghe Regiment Camp stationed in the Zhuanghebao line.

The several regiments and battalions directly under the Eastern Expedition Army have a relatively simple composition. The musketeers, grenadiers and gunners are organized separately according to the different types of arms, in order to give full play to their concentrated power.

The composition of the regiments and camps outside the department is more complicated. They include cavalry, infantry, and naval forces. In addition, they are also equipped with musketeers, grenadiers, and artillery. They have all types of arms and all battalion heads.

have.

Yang Zhen set up such a regiment camp below Jinhai Town in order to allow them to guard the road or take charge of their own operations when stationed outside.

Now, the place where Zhenjiang Fort is located is in such a situation.

If this place is left to be guarded by Zu Keyong and others from Jinhai East Road, the troops on Jinhai East Road will obviously not be strong enough for defense, and at the same time, the territory of Jinhai East Road will be too large.

The distance between Zhuanghe Fort, Xiuyan Fort and Zhuanghe Fort is still a bit too big.

Although there is a vague situation of mutual horns, but in terms of the military composition of Jinhae East Road, such so-called mutual horns are not necessary.

Because on the surface they look like horns to each other, but in reality they are easily defeated by the Qing army.

Therefore, here in Zhenjiang Fort, Yang Zhen finally decided to organize a separate regiment and battalion under the unified command of Qiu Zhenhai.

As for the name Anton Tuanying, it has a little bit of Yang Zhen's "selfishness".

Because there is already a Zhenjiang City with a long history in the southern Zhili area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, this Zhenjiang City along the Yajiang River always makes Yang Zhen feel nondescript, and he has a sense of time and space being confused.

The name Anton comes from the Anton Protectorate, which has been the name of this place since at least the Tang Dynasty.

When Yang Zhen mentioned Anton, he would naturally think of the Yajiang Estuary area and the areas on both sides of the Yajiang River.

Moreover, the name Anton also has a very good meaning. In addition to destroying the Donglu and stabilizing Liaodong, it also means stabilizing the east of the Yajiang River and stabilizing the entire Haidong.

Now that this name is being reused, it should be said that it will be extremely beneficial to Jinhai Town’s future battles against the captives, as well as the longer-term plan to restore the four counties of Han Dynasty.

"Everyone, the setting up of regiments and camps has become the practice of our Jinhai Town and the advance army for the Eastern Expedition. The position of Zhenjiang Fort is very important. Since there is a separate general army, a separate regiment and camp should be set up.

"And the Anton regiment is responsible for the city defense of Zhenjiang Fort and the land and sea defense on both sides of the Yajiang River and its surrounding areas. Of course, in the future, when our army counterattacks the Qing captives' rear, you will also be the vanguard!"

"I understand the humble position!"

When Qiu Zhenhai heard this, he stood up again with a solemn expression, bowed to Yang Zhen, clasped his fists, and responded.

Yang Zhen waved his hand and asked him to sit down, and then continued: "Since it is responsible for the attack and defense of the sea and land, the Anton regiment camp must have land divisions and naval divisions. The governor first talked about the water division of the Anton regiment camp.

division!"

As soon as Yang Zhen mentioned the navy, the naval generals present, such as Yu Liangtai, Lin Qingye, and of course Qiu Zhenhai, immediately raised their ears and listened carefully to what Yang Zhen said.

"The naval battalion of the Anton regiment camp was transferred from the former Jinhai South Road Naval Battalion led by Qiu Zhenhai. It will be stationed on Weihua Island in the summer and Dongjiang Island in the winter!"

"I understand the humble position!"

Qiu Zhenhai is also very satisfied with Yang Zhen's arrangement. For him, as the new chief military officer stationed at Zhenjiang Fort, if he does not have a direct lineage of his own that can advance, retreat, and defend, then it is certain that

Nope.

Especially for a water and land strategic location like Zhenjiang Fort, it is even more crucial to have a naval battalion that is completely at your command.

Therefore, Qiu Zhenhai immediately agreed with Yang Zhen's arrangement from the bottom of his heart.

After hearing Qiu Zhenhai's answer, Yang Zhen looked at him, gave him a calm gesture, and then continued:

"As for the Mainland Division, I had previously ordered the resettlement of the fourth prison camp - where is Shi Mingxiong?!"

"The slave is here, oh no, the humble position is here, the general is here."

Yang Zhen suddenly talked about Prison Camp, and suddenly called Shi Mingxiong's name, which made Shi Mingxiong, who was in a trance, tremble, and even spoke a little confused.

"Haha, General Shi Shen, don't panic. Here in Jinhai Town, under the command of me, Yang Zhen, although the officers and men have different positions, there is no distinction between masters and slaves. We are all soldiers.

Zhongpaoze, we are brothers, please remember not to call yourself a slave again in the future!"

"Slave understands, oh no, I humbly obey orders!"

People like Shi Mingxiong have been with Qinglu for a long time, and they have always called themselves slaves and slaves. Although they have joined Yang Zhenjun for several days, they still can't change the old habits they have developed over the years.

Yang Zhen had just reminded him not to always call himself a slave, but in the blink of an eye he said it again naturally.

His reaction made Yang Zhen shake his head and laugh, and everyone else present also laughed.

Fortunately, Shi Mingxiong is the kind of person who knows people well. After joining Yang Zhenjun, he became very familiar with many people in just a few days. Now that everyone is laughing at him, he is not annoyed, but scratches his shaved head.

The bare head giggled along with it.

"Shi Mingxiong, from now on, your prison camp will be officially under the jurisdiction of the Anton regiment camp. Do you have any questions?"

"There is no doubt. I will obey the orders of the Governor. There is no doubt!"

Shi Mingxiong, who had just arrived, finally spoke coherently and correctly in front of Yang Zhen.

In fact, after surrendering and joining Yang Zhen's army, Shi Mingxiong did not dare to think that he could still serve as a staff general.

After all, when he launched the mutiny with Geng Zhongming and his gang in Dengzhou City, he was just a guerrilla.

Since then, he has followed Geng Zhongming as a traitor and a Tatar, and has committed countless criminal activities. Now, Yang Zhen not only did not beat him to the end, but also made him a general, which is higher than before the mutiny.

At level one, he is already very satisfied.

At first, when Yang Zhen asked him to form a prison camp, he was still puzzled. He was a little worried about whether Yang Zhen was depriving him of his military power. However, in the past few days, he confirmed that this was not the case.

First of all, the soldiers and horses belonging to him were not scattered and organized into other teams, but were kept intact.

Secondly, Yang Zhen allowed him to select two hundred young people from the dynasty, and gathered 600 people to form two full sentries, with a total of six teams and sixty men and horses.

Furthermore, the affairs in the prison camp were completely under his control, and even all the prisoners of the Qing Dynasty inside, the Han troops under the former Zhenghuang Banner, and the newly formed North Koreans Niu Luqingzhuangsheng under the former Xianglan banner were all decided by him.

Although the prison camp has done a lot of hard work and dirty work since its establishment, these tasks were not done by him at all, but by the real Tatars, two Tatars and the new dynasty people who were under supervision.

The prisoners of Niulu did it.

If they do a good job, they will be rewarded with a full meal; if they do not do well or if they do it slowly, they will be rewarded with a whip, or they will be killed on the spot.

Shi Mingxiong, who originally had no idea what a prison camp was, became interested in this matter within just a few days. Not only did he no longer feel disgusted, he actually found it endlessly enjoyable.

In these days, of course Yang Zhen also received reports and observed him. Since he was not opposed to it and was quite interested in it, Yang Zhen was also willing to ask him to manage the prison camp.

As the saying goes, evil people will be punished by evil people. Shi Mingxiong was willing to "abuse" the prisoners of the Qing Dynasty and use them in the prison camp. It was a good use of his talents and resources.

"Very good, since you have no objection, let's arrange it like this - although your prison camp is under the command of the Anton regiment camp and is under the dispatch and command of the Guiqiu general, your station is on Yuncong Island.

"When the Governor returns to Lushunkou in the future, he plans to move the Lushun Iron and Steel Works smelting plant to Yuncong Island to build a branch. Iron ore can be mined from Tieshan and Anzhou to smelt steel nearby! The labor of the smelting plant and the labor of the mining field

, you will be responsible for everything when the time comes!"

"this--"

"What, you want to regret it?"

"I don't dare to do it in my humble position. It's just that I don't know much about mining and smelting in my humble position. I'm afraid that I might miss the governor's important mission."

"It doesn't matter. Mining, iron smelting, including sulfur production, will be handled by the commissioners assigned by our own iron and steel works. You just need to ensure the use of manpower in the prison camp!"

When Yang Zhen said this, Shi Mingxiong suddenly understood.

It turned out that he was not asked to switch to mining and smelting iron, but that he was asked to supervise the coolies in the prison camp and to mine and smelt iron according to the requirements of that ironworks.

"I understand, I understand, I obey my orders!"

Shi Mingxiong immediately agreed to Yang Zhen's order.

In fact, he had no room for bargaining.

"Song Guofu?"

"The humble position is here!"

"Since you led your troops to surrender, the reason why I haven't made a clear statement to your troops is that I have been waiting for today."

"This, I understand!"

It was quite natural for Song Guofu to change his name from slave to humble position.

In fact, these days, he has roughly understood Yang Zhen's thoughts from Qiu Zhenhai, Yang Shen, Jin Yukui and others.

Of course Yang Shen himself was very happy to see Yang Zhen incorporate Song Guofu's heavy artillery and gunners into his artillery regiment.

Therefore, Song Guofu asked Jin Yukui to find Yang Shen to intercede, hoping that in the next step, he could use his troops to be integrated into the artillery regiment camp of the Eastern Conquest Army directly under Yang Zhen. Yang Shen naturally expressed his warm welcome to this.

The First Artillery Regiment Battalion of the Eastern Expedition Army led by Yang Shen was initially formed with only two battalions on the left and right. The four posts in the left battalion were the soaring artillery battalion, and the two posts in the right battalion were the heavy artillery battalion. They were mainly composed of Yang Shen and Liu Zhongjin.

command.

After Jin Yukui surrendered under the Wengcheng of Zhenjiangmen, his gunners and artillery were integrated into the Yang Shen Artillery Regiment and became the Second Heavy Artillery Battalion. Jin Yukui also became the staff general of the Second Heavy Artillery Battalion.

After Song Guofu led his troops to surrender this time, if his artillerymen and the heavy artillery carried by him can also be integrated into it, then Yang Shen's artillery regiment will be strengthened again.

After all, no one can have too many ready-made heavy artillery, and skilled gunners are even rarer soldiers.
