After taking on the task of forming the Ganyang City Xiang Army Guard, Sun Hao originally planned to use the brave generals and soldiers under his command as the backbone to build a Xiang Army Guard with a strength of four brigades.
In this way, the entire Xiangjun Guard can be completely controlled by Sun Hao.
However, Sun Hao thought too much. Soon, Prince Yong'an Chen Su sent him a deputy governor, four generals, four deputy generals, sixteen colonels, sixteen deputy colonels, eighty team leaders and eighty deputy team leaders.
These middle and high-level officers of the Ganyang City Guard were all drawn from the three towns of the imperial guards, and basically all of them were promoted above their level.
For example, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Geng Jing was originally a captain of the seventh rank in the Xingwu Town of the Imperial Guards. Now he has been promoted three levels and became the deputy commander-in-chief of the fifth rank in the Xiang Army.
Many of the captains and deputy captains who were transferred to the Ganyang City Guard were previously only sergeants or deputy sergeants in the imperial guards.
As a result, in the entire Ganyang City Guard, the only things left for Sun Hao to decide were the appointment of low-level officers such as the team leader, deputy team leader, squad leader, and deputy squad leader.
Although Sun Hao felt a little aggrieved, he could only accept it. After all, he could not defeat the powerful. Sun Hao did not think he had the qualifications to bargain with Prince Yong'an.
Finally, Sun Hao discussed with Qin Qiong and others and decided to select some elite soldiers from his command to serve as the team leader and deputy team leader of the Ganyang City Guard.
According to Prince Yong'an's idea, the Ganyang City Guards will be like the Imperial Guards and the Ganyang Army, with each brigade under the command of three infantry battalions and one cavalry battalion. Therefore, among the 400 team leaders and 400 deputy team leaders of the Ganyang City Guards, a quarter will be cavalry team leaders and cavalry deputy team leaders.
Based on this ratio, Sun Hao selected 300 Wei Wuzu centurions, 300 Qin Ruishi centurions, 100 Xuanjiaqi centurions and 100 Beiweiqi centurions, and incorporated them into the Ganyang city guards.
As for the 2,000 squad leaders and 2,000 deputy squad leaders of the Ganyang City Guard, they will be selected from the recruits after consultation between Sun Hao and Deputy Governor Geng Jing.
In the Ganyang City Guards, there are 400 team leaders and 400 deputy team leaders who are his own people, so Sun Hao, the commander-in-chief, will at least not be sidelined.
On the morning of September 20th, 387th year of the Daliang calendar, Yong'an King Chen Su led the Daliang Imperial Guards of Guangwu Town, Xingwu Town, Yingwu Town, and the left and right guards of the Ganyang Army, and left Ganyang City in a mighty force, preparing to go straight to Quan'an City, the county seat of Suide County in Pizhou, to solve the problem of Huaide Protectorate.
At this time, the Ganyang City Guards had just started recruiting soldiers in the city, so of course they had no way of going to Quan'an City with them.
Before the army set out, Sun Zhe specially held a banquet at home for Sun Hao to meet his current wife Cui Xiumei and his two adopted sons Cui Xiaojin and Cui Xiaojun.
Now Sun Hao's identity is extraordinary. At least in terms of the rank of military officer, he is the same as Sun Zhe.
So in this family dinner, Cui Xiumei, Cui Xiaojin and Cui Xiaojun were very enthusiastic towards Sun Hao, even to the point that Sun Hao felt a little embarrassed.
Sun Zhe also expressed his gratitude to Sun Hao at the banquet. With Sun Hao's introduction, Lu Biao brought 181 Liang clan gladiators to worship Sun Zhe as their lord.
Not counting Lu Biao, the "level 100" warrior, among the 181 Liang clan gladiators, there were three "level 90" warriors, Du Yi, Jiang Tao, and Guo Zhan, and twenty-two "level 80" warriors.
The remaining 156 Liang clan gladiators were all "level 70" warriors.
If Prince Yong'an can deal with the Huaide Army this time, there is a high probability that Sun Zhe will be promoted to the Grand Commander of the Huaide Protectorate. Having so many brave generals and soldiers defecting at this time will be a great help to Sun Zhe.
In fact, when Lu Biao learned that Sun Hao had become the commander-in-chief of the Ganyang City Guards, he wanted to join Sun Hao. However, after Sun Hao had a detailed discussion with Lu Biao, Lu Biao still took 181 Liang gladiators to join Sun Zhe.
After Prince Yong'an led his army away, Sun Zhe recruited new soldiers for the Ganyang City Guards while also making some adjustments to the top management of the Sanshui Society.
After King Yong'an cleansed out hundreds of gangs in Ganyang City, the Sanshui Gang, as one of the only seven remaining gangs, was allocated a lot of new territories.
And under the intentional arrangement of King Yong'an, the Sanshui Association received a much larger share than the other six gangs. Now, all 36 districts in Ganyang City have Sanshui Association's territory.
Since Sun Hao is now the commander-in-chief of the Ganyang City Guard, it is definitely inappropriate for him to continue to serve as the leader of the Sanshui Society.
So Sun Hao promoted Tang Jun, the leader of the East Six Square Hall, to be the new leader of the Sanshui Society, and promoted Zhang Hu, the leader of the South Three Square Hall, to be the deputy leader of the Sanshui Society.
Sun Hao selected thirty-six people from the Red Sticks and Double Flower Red Sticks of the Sanshui Association to serve as the hall masters of the Sanshui Association.
In view of the current distribution of the Sanshui Society's territory, Sun Hao set up a Sanshui Society branch in every district of Ganyang City.
The Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan, as well as the five "level 90" generals Gao Heng, Gao Tai, Gao Yong, Shi Biao, and Li Mao, were transferred back to Sun Hao's side.
Sun Hao transferred the ten of them from the Sanshui Club mainly because they themselves were not willing to join the gang and would rather follow Sun Hao to fight on the battlefield.
As for whether Sanshui Club will be out of Sun Hao's control in the future, Sun Hao is actually not worried at all.
During the recruitment process of the Ganyang City Army Guard, Sun Hao would go to the recruitment site every day to intercept some new recruits with higher combat power and recruit them as his own soldiers.
In mid-October, when the Ganyang City Guards finished recruiting soldiers, Sun Hao intercepted more than 600 new recruits from the recruitment site, causing more complaints from the generals transferred from the Imperial Guards.
After all, the best soldiers were recruited by Sun Hao as his family soldiers.
Among the newly recruited family soldiers, Sun Hao first picked out 255 soldiers with good riding skills and combat power of at least 65 points, and incorporated them into the Four Cavalry Groups of Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning.
In addition, Sun Hao also incorporated Gao Heng, Gao Tai, Gao Yong, Shi Biao and Li Mao into the Four Cavalry Group, so that the Whirlwind Cavalry, Frost Rain Cavalry, Thunder Cavalry and Lightning Cavalry all had three "level 90" generals as commanders, and the total number of cavalry was expanded to 80.
The leaders of the Whirlwind Riders are Chen Quan, Chen Rong, and Gao Heng.
The commanders of the Frost and Rain Cavalry are Yuan Di, Yuan Ying, and Gao Tai.
The commanders of the Thunder Cavalry were Peng Rui, Shi Biao and Li Mao.
The leaders of the Lightning Cavalry were Bao Qing, Bao Li, and Gao Yong.
The remaining 300-odd new soldiers were organized by Sun Hao into a light cavalry unit, named the Green Wolf Cavalry, led by Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Hu Yanzhuo and Dong Ping, the Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan.
The Red Tiger Soldiers, Black Tiger Soldiers and White Tiger Soldiers under Sun Hao are still led by Xu Yong, Otosha, Harip and Pazi respectively.
Sun Hao had never clearly assigned anyone to lead the multiple armies summoned from the "lottery system", and they were all led by Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and others.
