Li Xizhu did not expect that he would be the first person appointed by Zhao Tai.

He quickly stepped onto the stage and received his official uniform, badge and seal.

Many generals in the audience immediately started talking. Li Xizhu was a newcomer with no military exploits, so he was appointed first. Not only did he steal their limelight, but he also became the battalion commander, which made many people feel uncomfortable.

After Qiu Yue returned nearly a hundred officers, Zhao Tai conducted a reorganization of his subordinate troops.

Now after reorganization, a battalion commander will most likely lead three thousand households, and he is considered a senior officer in Zhongyi Town.

Zhao Tai brought a flag, handed it to Li Xizhu, and said with a smile: "I said that as many troops as you bring over, you will be given an official position. Now I have appointed you as the commander of the Huaiyuan Camp. You must train the soldiers and strive to be the first."

Make meritorious service."

After Li Xizhu was recruited by Zhao Tai, he had no status. Now that Zhao Tai appointed him as the battalion commander, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely die for the commander-in-chief in my humble position."

The newly joined soldiers in the audience were a little excited when they saw that Li Xizhu was the first to be awarded the title and his position was not low.

Zhao Tai glanced around, observed the reaction of the audience, and nodded with satisfaction.

Now is the entrepreneurial stage, and Zhao Tai needs talents to join him, so he first rewarded Li Xizhu and entrusted him with a high position, with the purpose of attracting talents.

At this time, Zhao Tai called again: "Chen Zhong, come forward."

"The humble duty is here!" Chen Zhong clasped his fists in salute and strode onto the high platform.

Zhao Tai waved his hand and his subordinates brought the tray, "You have done well in training the army and performed well in the Battle of Xuzhou. Now I have appointed you to be the commander of the Wuning Army. I hope you will continue your efforts and make more achievements."

This time there were more than 30,000 people in Zhongyi Town, organized into three armies.

Each army has more than 10,000 people and governs three battalions. The military control is roughly equivalent to the ordinary general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

"Thank you, Marshal!" Chen Zhong said loudly.

Now there are only three armies in Zhongyi Town: Wuning, Yanhai, and Xuanwu. Chen Zhong was appointed as the commander of the first army. He is definitely a high-level official in Zhongyi Town and one of the military giants.

This made Chen Zhong feel comfortable and felt that it was right to stay. All the officers of the Southern Song Dynasty were also very happy to see him become the commander.

This shows that Zhao Tai trusts them very much and does not neglect them just because they are sent from the south.

Not long ago, Qiu Yue recalled the officers from the Southern Song Dynasty. Those who chose to stay lost their establishment in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In order not to admit regret to them, Zhao Tai not only provided adequate military pay, but also made Chen Zhong, the leader of the Southern Department, the commander, so that the officers who chose to stay felt that they had a better future in Zhongyi Town.

Zhao Tai continued to shout: "Wanyan Chengde, come to the stage. I have appointed you to command the Tiger Cavalry Battalion of the Xuanwu Army. I will hand over all my best cavalry to you."

The Xuanwu Army is an army directly under Zhao Tai. It has three battalions, Panshi, Shesheng, and Huqi. Among them, Panshi is mainly heavy infantry, Shesheng is mainly composed of divine arm archers, and Huqi is cavalry.

Not only does this army have a larger number of personnel than the other two armies, but its army is also the elite of the entire army.

The two armies of Wuning and Yanhai have six battalions, all of which are ordinary battalions.

The Xuanwu Army is an elite battalion, and the Panshi Battalion has 3,000 heavy armored infantry, which is the main force in the defense and formation of the entire army.

The Shengsheng camp has many distant weapons such as divine arm bows, ballistas, and trebuchets, as well as new firearms such as thunderbolts and rockets.

All members of the Tiger Cavalry Battalion are cavalry, and the backbone of them are Tiefutu and Guaizima who were injured in the Jin Kingdom during the Battle of Xuzhou.

The Jin Army's cavalry suffered heavy losses in that battle. After the war, Zhao Tai took the opportunity to recruit them and made them the main force of the Tiger Cavalry Battalion.

After the war, the Jin Dynasty court asked Zhao Tai for Tiefu Tu and Guaizi Horse. Zhao Tai reported that both men and horses were completely lost, and only a part of them were handed over, and the rest were collected.

Wanyan Chengde and Wanyan Chenghu looked at each other. Wanyan Chengde moved forward and said, "I humbly accept my order."

General Zhao Tai handed the flag to him and said sincerely: "I will hand over the Tiger Cavalry Camp to you. From now on, the cavalry in Zhongyi Town will depend on you."

Wanyan Chengde knelt down and saluted, "You must live up to the commander's expectations in your humble position."

Zhao Tai nodded with satisfaction, then made the appointment, "Sun Li comes forward."

The old brothers in the audience saw that the new recruits, those from the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Jurchens had all been appointed. When they were anxious, they heard Zhao Tai's call and immediately pushed Sun Li, "Old Sun, it's your turn."

Sun Li quickly strode onto the stage, cupped his fists and said, "Commander!"

Zhao Tai said in a deep voice: "You are an old brother who follows me. Now I appoint you as the commander of Yan Haijun's Xiaosheng Battalion, and temporarily take over the command of Yan Hai Hai!"

Sun Li was an old man who followed Zhao Tai. After hearing these words, he perked up and was inexplicably moved, "It's a humble position, thank you Marshal for your cultivation!"

Sun Li is actually self-aware. He knows that these old brothers are actually not very capable. He can be a battalion commander, which is already an exceptional promotion, let alone returning the power to rule the Yan Navy.

This is entirely because Zhao Tai gave him such a position out of consideration for his old brother.

Next, Zhao Tai announced several appointments. Liu Dun, Xu Erzhu, Chang Yu, Tang Liang, Wang Xiu, Zhu Chaoyi and others were all appointed as commanders.

Overall, this appointment is fair.

Of the three armies, Zhao Tai led the Xuanwu Army, Chen Zhong took command of the Wuning Army, and Sun Liquan took command of the Yanhai Army.

There are nine battalions under command, with the newcomer occupying one position, the southern department occupying two positions, the Jurchen department occupying one position, and the veteran department occupying five positions.

The new arrivals were directly given to the commander, and the Jurchens were also given a position. The Southern Department did not have an advantage in the battalion command position, but it had a control.

Although it was not possible for everyone to say nothing, Zhao Taiji took care of every aspect.

…

Time flashed to April. After the military and political system was established in Zhongyi Town, all aspects gradually began to operate normally.

At this time, the refugees who fled into Zhongyi Town, except for a very small number who believed Zhao Tai's lies and thought that the Southern Song Dynasty was a paradise and that they could receive welfare and have no worries about food and clothing since then, tried every means to escape to the Southern Song Dynasty. Most of the refugees were

Zhao Tai was placed in various health centers.

It was normal for so many refugees to go to the Southern Song Dynasty. The newly appointed Jianghuai envoy did not say anything about this and continued to give food to Zhao Tai as agreed.

At this time, after the refugees were resettled, Zhao Tai had more than 30,000 regular soldiers and 50,000 to 60,000 garrison soldiers under his command.

During the Tang Dynasty, Wei Bo, a powerful vassal in the Central Plains, had an army of 90,000, which could compete with the central government of the Tang Dynasty. However, Zhao Tai now has nearly 100,000 troops, and the time to seize Shandong is slowly ripe.

On the school field, the reorganized three armies are practicing hard.

The cavalry is riding in the wilderness, charging up high slopes, crossing trenches, and shooting scarecrows, while the infantry is practicing, a kind of phalanx with spears outside and divine arm archers inside.

Now Zhao Tai's troops are still mainly infantry, and when infantry fights, they are most afraid of encountering cavalry on the plains.

Unfortunately, there are few rivers in the north, and eastern Henan and Hebei are large plains. Zhao Tai must consider the situation when the infantry meets the cavalry.
