    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1040

    Chen Zi'ang decided to form the Qinghe Army's Fourth Field Army, and let Wang Cheng be the commander of the army.

    The Fourth Field Army has five banner regiments, which also maintain a strength of 100,000 troops.

    In order to allow this newly formed army to have a certain combat effectiveness instead of putting on airs, Chen Ziang also decided to draw the main banner group to merge.

    After some deliberation, Chen Ziang decided to transfer Wang Hu's Second Field Banner Regiment, and Dong Hao's Field Fifth Banner Regiment as the backbone of the new Fourth Army.

    Wang Hu's Second Field Banner Regiment and Dong Hao's Field Fifth Banner Regiment originally belonged to Liu Yidao's First Army Corps.

    Because of the relationship between the spring offensive and the strategic northward movement of the Qinghe Army, the two banner regiments were transferred to the north to join the battle.

    These two banner regiments are the top-ranked units of the Qinghe Army. If you look back at history, they can be traced back to the beginning of the establishment of the Qinghe Army, and they can be regarded as meritorious troops.

    With these two banner regiments with strong combat effectiveness as the backbone troops, this allows the new Fourth Army to have the same combat effectiveness as the old army.

    In addition to transferring the Second Banner Regiment and the Fifth Banner Regiment to the newly formed Fourth Army Regiment, Chen Ziang also transferred Wang Mingyang's recruits from the Sixteenth Banner Regiment, Tang Ping's newly formed Seventeenth Banner Regiment, and Zhou Ting's newly formed No. 1 Banner Regiment.  Eighteen Flags.

    Two of the three banner leaders have just been transferred from the independent banner regiment of Luyang Province. They have made great achievements in the enemy's rear and have rich combat experience.

    The new 16th, 17th and 18th Banner Regiments were established on the basis of the surrender of the Southern Army, and a large number of officers from the Qinghe Army were added. Through continuous integration, they have become part of the Qinghe Army  .

    Although the combat effectiveness of these three flag regiments is not as good as the old main flag regiments like the second and fifth, they still performed brilliantly in the spring offensive.

    Two main banner regiments and three newly organized banner regiments formed the newly formed Fourth Army of the Qinghe Army.

    In addition to appointing Wang Cheng, a veteran, as the army commander, Chen Ziang also appointed Wang Hu and Dong Hao as deputy army commanders, implementing a configuration of one officer and two officers.

    Wang Cheng, a veteran, was just a general of the Southern Army who was forced to surrender to the Qinghe Army.

    It is precisely because he made the right choice after surrendering and established merits that he has grown old, won the appreciation of Chen Ziang, and was constantly promoted.

    Facing Chen Ziang's appointment of himself as the commander of the new Fourth Army, Wang Cheng was also very grateful.

    He didn't expect that he could command an army of 100,000 when he was in his sixties. He didn't even dare to think about it before.

    Wang Cheng once wanted to decline. After all, there were too many strong generals in the Qinghe Army who were capable of recruiting and fighting. He was worried that his former general would not be able to convince the crowd.

    However, Chen Ziang gave him full support, insisted on letting him be, and expressed full trust in him.

    Now the Qinghe army is full of young and energetic generals, even Li Lang, who is in charge of his own business, is only in his thirties.

    The Qinghe Army needs some seasoned and prudent generals, and Wang Cheng's record is obvious to all, so Chen Zi'ang let him join.

    A scholar died for his confidant, Chen Ziang trusted him so much, Wang Cheng was grateful, and vowed to follow Chen Ziang to the death.

    Wang Hu can also be regarded as Chen Ziang's old brother. When Chen Ziang was still a soldier, Wang Hu was Chen Ziang's immediate boss.

    And now that Chen Ziang has become the commander-in-chief of the Qinghe Army, he naturally didn't treat this old brother badly.

    Although Wang Hu's ability to march and fight was poor, he was extremely loyal to Chen Ziang, and he was also resolute in carrying out Chen Ziang's orders.

    Therefore, although his military ability is not good, he is not good at attacking or defending in marching and fighting, but his victory lies in his steadfastness and loyalty, so Chen Ziang promoted him again and again.

    Wang Hu also knew that his abilities were limited, and being the head of the Second Banner already made him feel that he had reached his peak.

    Now he has been promoted to be the deputy commander of the new Fourth Army Corps. Wang Hu also knows that his ability is limited, so he actively asks to take charge of logistics and other related affairs.

    Chen Ziang naturally agreed to Wang Hu's request to be in charge of logistics, military merit appraisal, military discipline and other related matters.

    Dong Hao, who also served as the deputy army commander, was in charge of the army and assisted the army commander Wang Cheng in commanding the battle.

    After all, Dong Hao is younger, and he is an officer trained by the War College. He has rich military theory and combat experience. He is also a key officer of the Qinghe Army that Chen Ziang pays attention to training.

    In addition to adjusting and forming a new Fourth Army on the front line, Chen Ziang also decided to formHis own guard regiment.

    Previously, the Eighth Banner Regiment of the Guards under the command of Li Changqing was regarded as Chen Ziang's direct troops, and had been stationed in Yunxi Mansion for a long time.

    After Li Changqing led a part of the army northward into Yunshan Province and merged with the local rebel army to form the 14th Rebel Army, the strength of Chen Zi'ang's Eighth Banner Regiment was weakened.

    Chen Ziang is now the commander-in-chief of the Qinghe Army. He has four field armies under his command: the first, second, third and fourth field armies.

    With the expansion of the territory controlled by their Qinghe Army, it is impossible for these field armies to operate under his nose in the future, and they may go to fight thousands of miles away.

    Although Chen Zi'ang has placed a lot of people from the Intelligence Investigation Institute in each legion, no one can guarantee whether these troops will always be loyal.

    And if he doesn't have a force in his hands that can deter the legions, it will be quite dangerous.

    Therefore, when Chen Ziang formed Wang Cheng's new Fourth Army, he also started to form his own guard army.

    This guard corps will completely obey their own orders, and they will exist as a deterrent force.

    For this reason, Chen Zi'ang transferred Tan Feng's 13th Banner Regiment of Cavalry and the 19th Banner Regiment of Infantry into his Guard Banner Regiment.

    Including the Eighth Banner Regiment of the Guards who stayed in Yunxi Mansion, the Guards had three field banner regiments.

    The strength of the three banner regiments is too small for Chen Ziang, because the regular field troops have five banner regiments, and his three banner regiments cannot form a deterrent effect.

    Therefore, he merged 20 of the 35 second-line banner battalions that followed him to Luyang Province this time into his Guards Banner Regiment.

    These twenty public security banner battalions were converted into guard banner battalions, and on the basis of the guard banner battalions, the twenty-second, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six and other five guards were formed.  A guard flag regiment.

    With the addition of the original three Guards Banner Regiments, the strength of the Guards Corps directly under Chen Ziang will be as high as eight banner regiments with 160,000 troops.

    In the future, the Guards Corps will not only be able to fight alone, but also counter the rebellion when there is a problem with the Field Corps.

    And this army will exist as Chen Ziang's direct troops, and no one has the right to mobilize it except him, Chen Ziang. This is his hole card just in case.

    The other 15 security banner battalions exist as supplementary soldiers for the field troops, and they can be replenished to the field troops at any time.

    Following Chen Zi'ang's adjustment of the frontline organization, there are now three regiments of the Qinghe Army in Luyang Province.

    These include Li Lang's Second Field Army, Wang Cheng's Fourth Field Army, and the Guards Army directly under him.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
