Currently, the county town has a total of five thousand troops.
That's right, when Chen Mo was here, the county's forces were five thousand strong (Divine Brave Guard + Divine Martial Guard + Reserves).
Chen Mo took two thousand with him on his campaign, leaving three thousand behind.
During Chen Mo's absence, an additional two thousand were gradually recruited.
In fact, this expansion of two thousand troops was somewhat passive. Around two hundred were remnants of the Qingzhou Army brought by Li Yunzhang from Gaozhou. Subsequently, about four hundred more Qingzhou troops joined.
Later, due to Qingtian County being allocated to Chen Mo for defense purposes, Geng Songfu ordered the recruitment of twelve hundred more soldiers.
Among these five thousand, two thousand are Divine Brave Guards, one thousand are Divine Martial Guards, and the remaining two thousand are reserves.
The Qingzhou Army, who joined later, were absorbed into the Divine Brave Guard.
