After being removed from the post of chief of staff by Wei Ze, Zhang Yingchen was depressed. This time, he quarreled with Wei Changrong first, although the quarrel was just one sentence, Wei Changrong's dissatisfaction was already obvious. Wei Ze immediately got rid of Zhang Yingchen's chief of staff, and in Zhang Yingchen's opinion, this was Wei Ze's clear statement of support for Wei Changrong.

It's just that this frustration didn't last long, Wei Ze appointed Zhang Yingchen as the commander of the first division, and the teaching brigade was also in the establishment of the first division. This arrangement can be said to be reused, even when he was the chief of staff, Zhang Yingchen could not be Ke Gongyu's top boss. The Teaching Brigade is a unit under the direct command of Weese.

Moreover, in the subsequent adjustment of the troops, Zhang Yingchen also underwent heavy changes in the structure of the troops. Wei Changrong directly became the director of the Combat Training Department of the General Staff, and Lin Asheng became the director of the Logistics Department of the General Staff. The two directly left the combat unit and became officials.

Then the change became more drastic, and Weeser issued a series of orders. In the final analysis, it is the "three determinations", which are set responsibilities, set establishments, and top responsibilities. With the General Staff as the core, Weeser carried out a comprehensive adjustment of his troops. In particular, with regard to the personnel promotion model, Weeser for the first time clearly defined the personnel exchange system between the front-line commanders and the staff departments of various units.

This made Zhang Yingchen unable to understand, in fact, not only Zhang Yingchen couldn't understand, but also quite a number of military officers didn't understand. Why do you have to give up your military power and go to the general staff if you fight well? The impression formed by the General Staff is that they write and draw every day, and there are many people who are curious about the General Staff, but putting down the barrel of the gun and picking up the barrel of the pen makes the officers of the unit feel extremely awkward.

Moreover, after the establishment of the new General Staff, a large number of newcomers who were originally unknown were promoted. For example, the commander of the Fourth Division Ju Junfeng, Zhang Yingchen didn't even know that there was such a person. After meeting, he remembered that he had met this person before. It's just that at that time, as the chief of staff, Zhang Yingchen had time to talk to unfamiliar guys. This person actually got the joint support of Wei Changrong and Lin Asheng, and became the commander of the Fourth Division.

The other promotion is the shock level. An 18-year-old boy named Chen Zhe became the director of the Technical Department of the General Staff, and the current four directors of the General Staff, Wei Changrong, director of the Combat Training Department, He Chengge, director of the Operations Department, and Lin Asheng, director of the Logistics Department, are all old brothers. But an 18-year-old child can be the same minister as them, and Chen Zhe has no special military exploits, he just scored well in many scientific exams, so he became a minister. Zhang Yingchen couldn't believe it at all.

Incomprehensible things will become facts after birth, and all kinds of new people will continue to emerge for a while. Zhang Yingchen even gave birth to a feeling that things are not human. At this time, it had only been half a year since Wei Ze brought two 25 brothers to attack the Qing army's grain transportation team, and Zhang Yingchen could easily recall the details of such a small group of men and horses trekking hard in Dayao Mountain at that time. At that time, Zhang Yingchen couldn't have imagined that it would only take half a year, and now such a force has completely changed.

This feeling is just Zhang Yingchen's own feeling, and he is also busy enough at this time. The original force of less than 2,000 troops was expanded to 4,000 men, and after each of the four divisions established its own logistics unit, the fourth division, which was a logistics unit, became a standard combat unit. Each division had a thousand troops, which was not a small number. The three hundred core troops at the time of highlighting Yong'an were diluted into the troops of this size, and there was not even a shadow to be seen.

Reorganization, training, batoning, cultural education. A large number of people from the teaching brigade under the command of the First Division were scattered to serve as captains in various units, but with the teaching brigade as the foundation, Zhang Yingchen reluctantly built a whole set of systems. The rest of the troops were busy on all fours.

After a full half a month passed since Wei Ze ordered the establishment of a new system on July 19, this army can be regarded as having a preliminary appearance.

After finishing these things, Zhang Yingchen suddenly remembered something. Weeser's troops have been fighting, training, expanding, and reorganizing, and so many things have finally been done so far. But the Taiping Army has not moved at the headquarters in Daozhou, what is going on? At a regular military meeting on August 5, Zhang Yingchen raised the issue.

At this time, the scale of the expanded military conference was four or five times larger, and the participants included a number of ministers of the General Staff, division commanders and chiefs of staff of various divisions, plus brigade commanders and directors of military schools. Originally, there were meetings of seven or eight people, but at this time there were as many as twenty.

Everyone was also a little puzzled by this question, but Wei Changrong said what everyone was thinking, "We need this time, and Dongwang also gave us this time." Isn't that a good thing? ”

After all, he was a former chief of staff, and he was scolded and complained about a lot, and Zhang Yingchen was more careful. "We won't stay in this state forever, there has to be a move."

Wei Changrong replied: "It's only been half a month, and if you want to train all the troops to the time of fighting Guanyang, it will take two or three months." Look at these new brothers, who eat like hungry ghosts. Counting on them to be able to fight well, it is not enough to have enough food for a few months. ”

When he said this, all the brothers burst into laughter. Everyone followed Wei Ze from Yong'an to fight, and although it was hard along the way, they were always able to eat enough. Many of the brothers ate meat more often in Wei Ze's army than they had eaten before. This can be seen from the complexion, the old brothers have a ruddy complexion, and at a glance they are full of energy. The new brothers looked thin and thin, and during the training, the old brothers were more physically and energetic.

"This is raising soldiers, right?" Hu Chenghe also smiled. His combat department is responsible for the battle, in fact, it is to take over all the responsibilities of the staff when Zhang Yingchen was the chief of staff, and the combat capability of the troops is a very important thing. It is really an important part to be able to raise everyone's body.

Wei Ze didn't want to divert this question, he said: "Master Zhang is right, I'm afraid that there will be a new order from Daozhou in the near future, and we won't be allowed to train like this." Everyone hurry up and prepare now, and some battles can be fought. ”

Wei Ze set the tone, and the troops began to strengthen the training of marching order. Having had the experience of highlighting Yong'an and turning back to catch up after going south to Wuzhou, everyone knew very well the impact of marching ability on troops.

After the meeting was dismissed, everyone went back to arrange the work of their troops. However, at noon, Weeser suddenly ordered the commanders of the various units to assemble. After everyone rushed to the headquarters, Wei Ze said: "According to new information, the Qing army in Guanyang does not know whether they are alive or dead, and they are ready to fight Jianghua and Yongming. ”

These days, Weezer's troops are not just guarding the city to adjust their troops and train new soldiers. The intelligence department is also working at full capacity, and with a large number of local fighters who have joined the army, the intelligence network is running very smoothly. After investigation, Wei Ze and the others already knew that the Qing army in Guanyang was Jiang Zhongyuan's troops. After being defeated by Wei Ze, Jiang Zhongyuan was not discouraged, but reorganized his troops, and approached Guanyang again two days later. At that time, Wei Ze had already left Guanyang with his troops and ran away, and Jiang Zhongyuan easily "recovered Guanyang".

"Didn't that Jiang Zhongyuan accept the lesson of last time? If he wants to be Liu Changqing, let's fulfill him! Ke Gongyu, the commander of the third division, said, "When they came out of Guanyang City, our two divisions resisted Jiang Zhongyuan in the front, and one division walked around the mountain road to Jiang Zhongyuan's back, and the two sides attacked, I don't believe that this guy will not die." ”

After military training and actual combat, everyone doesn't need to think about many basic tactics at all, and they can casually come up with a plan that seems quite feasible.

Hu Chenghe said: "According to intelligence, Zhang Guoliang also came from Quanzhou to join Jiang Zhongyuan this time. The Qing Demon is not just a simple Jiang Zhongyuan army. ”

Wei Ze and they seized Quanzhou, originally Zhang Guoliang's troops who were going to go to Yongzhou and then go south to Daozhou, under the strict order of Qincha Cezanne, went west to "recapture Quanzhou", and after recapturing Quanzhou, Zhang Guoliang did not move, so he stayed to defend Quanzhou. It seems that they are now acting under the orders of Cézanne.

Now that Weeser's troops have just been reorganized, and all the troops have tried, it is impossible for the recruits to go out smoothly according to the beat of the drum for half a mile. Even the most basic military training, such as reporting the number and turning left and right according to orders, was not completed. It is the old army that can fight, and the total number of these two Qing armies is as many as four or five thousand, and if the troops are combined, it is impossible for the old army to eat these two Qing armies in one bite. How should this battle be fought? Thinking of this, everyone fell silent.

Zhang Yingchen couldn't help but say: "Since so many people in the Qing army are staring at us, the number of Qing troops in Daozhou has decreased a lot. Since Daozhou has long said that it will fight Changsha, it is time to take advantage of the Qing army's such a move. If you don't move at this time, when will it be moved? ”

When it was time for him to fight, Zhang Yingchen just mentioned Daozhou. Many brothers looked at Zhang Yingchen with very unfriendly eyes. Zhang Yingchen looked at everyone's eyes and regretted a little in his heart. But this has already been said, and he can't take it back. Zhang Yingchen could only shut his mouth and was silent for the time being.
