    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1131

    Chen Ziang had the idea of ??forming a separate cavalry unit very early on, but due to the influence of horses, soldiers, economic strength, etc., it was always difficult to achieve his wish.

    After all, to form a powerful cavalry unit, only the cavalry equipment, horses and logistical supplies are a huge expense.

    However, the foundation of the Qinghe Army is relatively shallow, and it started from Jiangbei Province, which lacks war horses.

    Therefore, the cavalry has always been a weakness for the Qinghe Army, which also prevented them from launching long-range assaults on the enemy on a large scale. The main force in combat is mainly infantry.

    Now with the expansion of the area controlled by the Qinghe Army, economic capabilities and soldiers are no longer a problem.

    Facing the vast territory and the increasingly severe external situation, forming a cavalry unit with high mobility has become a top priority.

    Because a strong and powerful cavalry unit has an absolute advantage over infantry, whether it is long-range assault or long-range support capabilities.

    Therefore, when Chen Zi'ang proposed to form a cavalry regiment, he also received strong support from Li Qiye, chief of military affairs.

    "We now have the strength to form three to five new cavalry banner regiments, but in order to ensure sufficient combat effectiveness, I suggest that the existing cavalry troops be directly assigned to the new cavalry regiment." Li Qiye also proposed himself  Views.

    Chen Ziang has a different idea: "The existing sixth, ninth, thirteenth cavalry and guard cavalry flag regiments are assigned to each legion to fight. I think it is not appropriate to deploy too much."

    Because now each cavalry banner regiment is attached to each legion to fight, if they are assigned separately, it will inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of each legion, and make each legion lack the ability to attack and chase.

    At present, the Qinghe Army still uses the infantry regiment as the main combat force, and the attached cavalry flag regiment is their important component force.

    Once the cavalry is taken away, although their newly formed cavalry corps can quickly form combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of the infantry corps will be greatly weakened.

    "We can't be too hasty. We can first transfer two banner battalions from each cavalry banner regiment to the new cavalry regiment. As for the shortage, they can recruit recruits on the spot."

    Chen Ziang and the others had to take into account the combat effectiveness of the infantry corps on the one hand, and the combat effectiveness of the newly formed troops on the other, so Chen Ziang thought of a compromise plan.

    "Who do you think is better to be the commander of the cavalry?"

    After confirming the deployment of soldiers for the new cavalry regiment, Chen Zi'ang began to seek candidates for the regiment commander.

    As the chief of military affairs, Li Qiye is also well aware of the various regiments, banner regiments, and banner battalion-level officers of the Qinghe Army.

    "Your Highness, I have four candidates here."

    Li Qiye also knew Chen Ziang's temperament, that is, he didn't have so many twists and turns, so after a little thought, he also talked about his own thoughts.

    "The first is Lei Ming, the commander of the Seventh Field Army. He was born in the cavalry. He has commanded the cavalry for a long time, and he already has command experience at the regiment level. Therefore, it is more appropriate to transfer him as the commander of the cavalry."

    Chen Ziang said: "He is more suitable, but he is now the commander of the Seventh Field Army and is leading the army to fight against the remnants of the Wolf Cavalry. Changing generals just before the battle is not conducive to the Seventh Field Army."

    The Field Seventh Army is a newly formed army, and it was formed by the rebels in Nanchuan, Western and other provinces. They were all brought out by Lei Ming.

    If Lei Ming is replaced now, and a new legion commander is appointed, it will definitely affect the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Army in the field.

    "The second candidate is General Lu, the deputy commander of the Second Field Army. He has led the Ninth Banner Cavalry Regiment for a long time. He also has outstanding military exploits and has sufficient qualifications and prestige."

    Fatty Lu was the first old man to follow Chen Ziang, because he was stationed in Jiangbei Province with the Second Army for a long time, and missed the battles with the Southern Army, rebels and other forces in Jiangnan Province, Dongjiang Province and other places, so he didn't have so much credit  , one level behind Lei Ming and others.

    "Who are the other two people?" Chen Ziang continued to ask.

    "The third candidate is Feng Yang, who is currently the head of the 20th Banner of the Heavy Cavalry. He has led the cavalry in the Northern Army for a long time and has rich combat experience."

    "Once Feng Yang is appointed as the newly formed cavalry corps, it can also have a certain influence on the Northern Army and attract more Northern Army to join us."

    "It's just that he is a member of our army.He is still superficial, and if he is promoted by leaps and bounds, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some people.  "Li Qiye also expressed his worries.

    After all, the direct promotion from the head of the banner to the rank of the deputy head of the army will make the veteran deputy head of the Qinghe army have opinions.

    The Qinghe Army is no longer the pure rebel army it was at the beginning, but has become a huge military group.

    In this huge military group, there are not only the original rebel troops, but also various troops such as the Northern Army, Southern Army, and Imperial Guards who were cast over.

    Although these troops are now reorganized into the Qinghe Army by the Qinghe Army, there are more people and different backgrounds. This requires consideration of internal balance.

    "The fourth candidate is Guo Wei, the deputy head of the First Field Army and the head of the Sixth Banner Cavalry. He has outstanding military exploits and is also loyal to His Highness. Behind him is the Guo family."

    "Once Guo Wei is appointed as the head of the army, it will not only allow the scattered Guo children to assist us, but also calm the hearts of those aristocratic families so that they can actively serve His Highness."

    After hearing some analysis from Chief of Military Affairs Li Qiye, Lin Dong also felt a little dizzy.

    Because the candidates proposed by Li Qiye have shortcomings and advantages, and each of them is of high position and weight.

    But now with their strength, they can only form a cavalry regiment, so there is only one position, so this is indeed a test for Chen Ziang on how to employ people.

    "Let Fatty Lu be the commander of the cavalry army. He has made a lot of contributions and is loyal enough. He has led the cavalry for a long time and has good experience."

    After comprehensive consideration, Chen Zina finally chose to let the old man Fatty Lu be the commander of the cavalry.

    After all, Fatty Lu has served as the deputy head of the army for a long time. It is indeed depressing to see that each of the brothers is alone, but he is still working as a deputy under Li Lang's command and cannot see his future.

    Moreover, Chen Ziang didn't want to treat his old brother badly. Fatty Lu, Lin Yu and others followed him in fierce battles with hundreds of thousands of enemies, and they crawled out of the dead, and they were considered dead several times.

    It is a pity that Lin Yu, a brave brother, fell in the fierce battle, otherwise, he would be the leader of the cavalry this time.

    "Guo Wei, Feng Yang is the deputy commander of the First Cavalry Corps."

    After confirming Fatty Lu as the commander of the First Cavalry Corps, Chen Ziang immediately confirmed the candidate for the deputy commander.

    Although Guo Wei and Feng Yang could not serve as regimental commanders, being able to serve as deputy commanders of the cavalry regiment was considered a great respect for them.

    You must know that the old brother who followed Chen Ziang at the beginning is now the highest-ranking army commander.

    "Peng Dashun, Guo Xin and others can serve as the heads of the newly formed cavalry banners."

    In order to set a benchmark for the soldiers of the northern army inside the rebel camp, Chen Ziang also decided to reuse Peng Dashun and others who defected here this time.

    Chen Ziang asked Peng Dashun and the others to serve as the head of the cavalry banner, and he also wanted to show an attitude, that is, as long as he sincerely surrendered to the Qinghe Army, he would dare to reuse it boldly.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
