In the Juyi Hall, a banquet was served.
Everyone was laughing, but they didn't rush to pick up their wine glasses. They were all waiting for Sun Lei to speak.
"Brothers, now our Liangshan has reached a considerable scale, with 330,000 soldiers. It's time for each battalion to expand!"
Sun Lei looked at everyone while holding a wine glass.
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent and looked at Sun Lei with burning eyes. They could all feel that the next words were very important to them.
"The main battle camp troops will be increased to 2,000 people."
Sun Lei saw everyone looking over and said with a smile.
The earliest Liangshan Bo army was composed of a battalion of 500 men, equipped with one general and one or two deputy generals. At that time, Liangshan had just been established, and everyone had almost no experience in leading troops, and the soldiers were also newly recruited soldiers.
Later, everyone gained more combat experience, and the number of soldiers in one battalion was expanded to 1,000, and now Sun Lei decided to expand this number to 2,000.
On the one hand, there are too many soldiers and horses, and on the other hand, a battalion of one thousand men can no longer support the next battle. In the era of cold weapons, the number of people is still very important. Many times, a battalion of one thousand men will be constrained by the number of people fighting alone.
"Two thousand people!"
Some of the people congratulated each other with joy, while others were thoughtful. Many people had already guessed Sun Lei's purpose of expanding the army again, and each battalion would bear greater responsibilities in the coming war.
"Every brother should know that our next target in Liangshan is Yanyun. This will be the biggest battle since the establishment of Liangshan, the battle to destroy Liao! By then, all brothers will be the vanguard to destroy Liao."
Sun Lei looked at everyone and explained that not everyone can understand. Without explanation, many people will not be able to react until something happens.
"I see!"
Deng Fei laughed excitedly. He was one of those who didn't react.
"In addition, the original manpower of each battalion has also changed! The eight battalions of Mabu have been designated as the main battle battalion, and the manpower has been expanded to 2,000."
"The first battalion of the horse army Yangwei battalion deputy general Lu Fang was promoted to the left guard army and commanded a thousand troops!"
"The first battalion of the Horse Army Yangwei Battalion Deputy General Guo Sheng was promoted to the right guard and commanded a thousand troops!"
"Ou Peng, the deputy general of the Golden Knife Battalion of the Second Battalion of the Horse Army, was promoted to the rear guard and commanded a thousand troops!"
"Hao Siwen, deputy general of the 3rd Battalion of the Horse Army's Zhongyi Battalion, was promoted to the rank of former guard, commanding a thousand men and horses!"
"Lei Jiong and Ji Ji, deputy generals of the Yueqi Battalion of the Fourth Battalion of the Horse Army, have been promoted to front-line generals, each leading a thousand rangers!"
"Jiao Ting, the deputy general of Jianglong Camp, the first battalion of the infantry, was promoted to the rank of general of the central army and commanded a thousand soldiers and horses!"
"Deng Fei, deputy general of the Golden Spear Battalion of the 4th Infantry Battalion, was promoted to the rank of General of the Central Army, commanding a thousand troops!"
Sun Lei looked at everyone and continued to announce that this time he promoted all the deputy generals of the original eighth battalion. Although they were only deputy generals, everyone joined the central army, and each led a thousand troops.
Among them, the deputy general of Wu Song's third battalion, Fuhuying, had already been transferred away. Shi Xiu had already led the army alone, and Fan Rui had also gone to Shenji Camp. As for Li Kui's third infantry battalion, which was trapped in the camp, the four-person combination of Li Kui, Bao Xu, Li Gun, and Xiang Chong could not be separated.
Everyone who was promoted looked surprised. They were naturally willing to be the generals of the Chinese Army. Who was the Chinese Army? That's Sun Lei. Being able to stay by Sun Lei's side is an honor.
"The five naval battalions of Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Fei Bao and Zhang Shun have been expanded to 2,000 men."
"Wang Dingliu, deputy general of the first battalion of the navy, was promoted to chief general and established the sixth battalion of the navy, leading a thousand men."
"Ni Yun, the deputy general of the second battalion of the navy, was promoted to the chief general and established the seventh battalion of the navy, leading a thousand men."
"Bu Qing, the deputy general of the fourth battalion of the navy, was promoted to the chief general and established the eighth battalion of the navy, leading a thousand men!
"Di Cheng, the deputy general of the fourth battalion of the navy, was promoted to the chief general and established the ninth battalion of the navy, leading a thousand men."
"The tenth battalion of the navy was established, led by Hu Yanqing, with a thousand men."
"The Navy set up an overseas pioneer battalion, with Li Jun as the leader and Tong Wei, Tong Meng, and Zhang Heng as deputy generals, leading two thousand people."
Sun Lei looked at the navy again and said, the navy was the auxiliary in several battles, which made the navy's military merit the least among the three armies in Liangshan.
However, the navy currently has limited ships and requires training to operate the ships, so the new battalions still have a thousand men.
Ruan Xiaoer and others thought that nothing happened to the navy this time, but they didn't expect that Sun Lei still remembered the navy, and they were so excited that they didn't know what to say.
"Overseas Pioneer Camp!"
Xiao Jiasui and Wen Huanzhang heard some unusual information. Just the word "overseas" contained too many things.
"Du Bo, the fifth battalion of the cavalry army, was promoted to the main battle battalion and commanded two thousand troops."
"Wang Jin, the sixth battalion of the cavalry army, was promoted to the main battle battalion and commanded two thousand troops."
"Hua Rong, the seventh battalion of the cavalry army, was promoted to the main battle battalion and commanded two thousand troops."

"Yuan Lang, the 10th Battalion of the Horse Army, was promoted to the main battle battalion and commanded 2,000 troops."
"Zhang Qing, the 11th Battalion of the Horse Army, was promoted to the main battle battalion and commanded 2,000 troops."
"Qin Ming, the twelfth battalion of the horse army was promoted to the main battle camp and commanded two thousand troops."
"Yue Fei, leads the Thirteenth Battalion of the Horse Army, the same as the main battle camp, commanding two thousand troops."
…
"Li Yan, the fifth battalion of the infantry, was promoted to the main battle battalion and commanded two thousand troops."
"Fengtai, the sixth battalion of the infantry, was promoted to the main battle battalion and commanded two thousand swordsmen."
"Ma Xi, the seventh battalion of the infantry, was promoted to the main battle battalion and commanded two thousand swordsmen."
"Teng Kan, the eighth infantry battalion, was promoted to the main battle battalion and commanded two thousand troops!"
"Shi Jin, the ninth infantry battalion, was promoted to the main battle battalion and commanded two thousand troops!"
"Shi Xiu, the tenth infantry battalion, was promoted to the main battle battalion and commanded two thousand troops."
"Ma Jin, the former deputy general of the seventh battalion of the infantry, was promoted to the rank of general of the central army and commanded a thousand short swordsmen!"
"Teng Shu, the former deputy general of the eighth battalion of the infantry, was promoted to the rank of general of the central army and commanded a thousand swordsmen!"
"Chen Da and Yang Chun, former deputy generals of the ninth battalion of the infantry, were promoted to generals of the central army, each commanding a thousand troops and horses!"
"Gong Wang, Ding Desun, Xuanzan, Han Tao, Peng Qi, Wei Dingguo, Shan Yangui, Huang Xin, Jie Zhen, Jie Bao, Wureuan, and Wrunun are all deputy generals of the Chinese Army."
"Qiao Daoqing led the Shenji Battalion. The Shenji Battalion was promoted to the main battle camp and led two thousand people, with Fan Rui as his commander."
"Ling Zhen leads the artillery battalion, two thousand people!"
"The other female barracks are managed by Pang Qiuxia and Qiongying!"
…
Sun Lei didn't wait for everyone's reaction and continued to announce new changes. In fact, it meant the expansion of troops and the promotion of deputy generals. Since a big war was going to be fought, it should look like a regular army.
The successive personnel changes have made everyone extremely happy. Whether it is an increase in troops or promotion in positions, this is an affirmation of their efforts.
"In addition, we now have six military advisors in Liangshan, Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang, Xu Guanzhong, Li Zhu, Gongsun Sheng, and Zhu Wu! During the war, they are above all the armies!"
Sun Lei watched as several military advisors introduced him. As for Shi Qian, Ma Ling, Ma Lin, and Le He, he was not planning to join the army. He had to control the intelligence himself.
