Chapter 103: The Formation of the Guards Division (I)
The venue of the People's Building is solemn and solemn.
"Father-in-law has arrived!"
Accompanied by the shouts of Qi Xiangfang of the East Factory, but seeing the "horn" of hundreds of emperors' pro-army generals, everyone took off their hats and put them on their left hands, saluting to the slowly coming Duke Wei, and finally raised their right arms upwards and shouted in unison: "Loyalty!" ”
This is a military salute, and it is also the favorite military salute of Father-in-law Wei, which is privately called a combination of classical beauty and modern beauty.
"Loyalty!"
The father-in-law came to the stage, and after glancing at the generals, he gently dismissed his right hand, and the generals sat down with a "boom". The father-in-law nodded slightly and sat down slowly.
After Gonggong Wei took his seat, Jiang Xifeng, who was in charge of the operation of the Imperial Army Headquarters and the General Staff Department, stepped forward, bowed to Gonggong Wei first, and then turned straight to face the generals, and said in a loud voice: "Xuan Gonggong's order!" ”
"Horn!"
Hundreds of generals stood up again in unison, all with their waists straight.
"According to the order of the Emperor Ming Qin's Admiral Maritime Eunuch and the Jiangnan Town Guard, the Ming Emperor's personal army will be reorganized and formed into a guard division from now on. The division has two brigades, each of which has three infantry wings. In addition, the division and regimental headquarters have jurisdiction over the first engineer wing, the first cavalry wing, the first baggage wing, and the first artillery wing, and the number of officers and men of the division and regiment is set at 28,000. Since the reorganization order, the whole level of the imperial army has been organized and implemented in accordance with the reorganization plan of the General Staff Department of the headquarters, and there must be no mistakes. ”
After reading it, Jiang Xifeng closed the Chinese document and turned to the side.
Although everyone present had heard the news that the Guards Division was going to be formed, most people still didn't know what this Guards Division was. The only thing I know is that my father-in-law just formed the Taiwan Garrison Division a few days ago, but that division has only transferred 3,000 people from the army at present, and it is a second-class establishment. At present, the establishment of this guards division is as high as 28,000 people, and it is not said that the generals will recruit troops themselves, which makes the hearts of many generals jump violently.
This jump is not scared, but excited.
Twenty-eight thousand!
Even if the division and regimental headquarters, brigade headquarters and baggage and other non-combatants are removed, the combatants of a first-class division and regiment are as high as more than 20,000, which is definitely a first-class elite in the current Jiubian, and it can even be built on this basis alone. Looking at the southeast region again, in addition to the three major battalions in the southern capital, which other soldiers and horses have such a scale. And what is the level of the three major battalions in Nandu, and the generals present, including Li Shaoji, Xu Biao and other three battalion generals, are all seen as a joke.
A 28,000-strong first-class division plus an 18,000-strong second-class division in preparation, doesn't it mean that our Ming Imperial Army has become the first army in the inner court?!
The generals were overjoyed in their hearts, the soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of the inner court were mainly based on the Tengxiang Four Guards and the Warrior Battalion under the Imperial Horse Supervisor, but the four guards and the warrior battalion were only more than 10,000 soldiers, and now Wei Gonggong was so generous to build a legion of tens of thousands of people, so does it mean that in the future, the Imperial Army will be able to replace the Imperial Horse Supervisor and become the real Son of Heaven's own soldiers!
When it comes to their own future, many generals can't help but discuss with the people around them because of their excitement and excitement, and more people are concerned about the appointment of the commander of the division and brigade.
"Silence!"
Qi Xiangfang, who maintained the Discipline Inspection Commission of the East Factory, shouted, and the generals were immediately silent when they heard the words.
"Let's talk a few words," Gonggong Wei raised his hand, "The formation of the Guards Division was compiled by our family's repeated statements to His Majesty. In the future, the Guards Division will be the main force of our Emperor's pro-army and the vanguard of our Emperor's pro-army to open up overseas. I think you already know that a few days ago, our family ordered the establishment of the Taiwan Garrison Division, and you should know the meaning of this Taiwan Garrison Division, which is to guard Taiwan's division. This Guards Division also has a town guard. This town guard is Japan, that is, Fuso Toei. ”
Japan?
Except for Jiang Xifeng and a few other people, who knew that their father-in-law intended to invade Japan, they were all stunned.
"More than 10 years ago, Japan's Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent tens of thousands of troops to attack our Emperor Ming vassal Korea, His Majesty sent troops to attack for the safety of the vassals, for several years, our Emperor Ming soldiers desperately sacrificed, and the Japanese army to resist, its purpose is not only to defend the independent survival of vassal Korea, but also to break Japan's aggressive ambitions, to maintain our Emperor Ming vassal tribute system. Many of you were involved in that war, and some of you were members of the Japanese army at that time, so we don't need to say much about the cruelty of the war. ”
Speaking of this, Gonggong Wei paused for a moment, and said in an accentuated tone: "In this battle, our officers and soldiers have suffered great sacrifices, and our country's strength has also suffered great losses. The so-called people don't offend me, I don't offend people; If anyone sins against me, I will offend. Although our emperor is a peace-loving nation, he will take revenge on the enemy of aggression! Japan is a great threat to our dynasty, so our family was ordered by His Majesty to form an imperial army in the south, which is to give Japan itself an actual punishment!
And the Guards Division is the vanguard of punishing Japan! We hereby announce that our Ming Imperial Army will declare war on Japan in the near future, for the glory of the empire, for the survival and security of the empire, we have no choice! We must resort to force to eradicate all the threats posed by Japan to our Emperor in order to establish an imperial paradise! ”
"Let's announce it!"
With the announcement of Father-in-law Wei, Cao Wenyao, Zheng Duo, and Wu Fuming walked out of the crowd one by one. Cao Wenyao was the commander of the Guards Division; Zheng Duo is the commander of the 1st Brigade and Wu Fuming is the commander of the 2nd Brigade.
Subsequently, Jiang Xifeng announced the appointment of the generals of the wing and brigade.
The candidates for wing commanders were: Ichiro Sanada as the commander of the First Infantry Wing, Chen Guangrui as the commander of the Second Infantry Wing, Wang Dahai as the commander of the Third Infantry Wing, Koji Yamamoto as the commander of the Fourth Infantry Wing, Ding Xiaogong as the commander of the Fifth Infantry Wing, and Li Yanzhao as the commander of the Sixth Infantry Wing.
The six infantry wing commanders, Sanada Ichiro and Yamamoto Koji were born in the former Japanese Wai, Chen Guangrui and Wang Dahai were born in the former Flying Tiger Army, and Ding Xiaogong was born in the former Gaoyou Guard, and he has been with Wei Gonggong as a personal guard. Li Yanzhao was in charge of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau before, but he was bent on going to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.
In addition, Lee Shau-kee was appointed as the commander of the artillery wing, Zhao Ming was the commander of the cavalry wing, Anguosi was the commander of the engineer wing, and Kugi Mihara was the commander of the baggage wing.
Li Zhaoji is the former deputy general of the Shenji Battalion in Nandu, Zhao Ming is the former Suning prodigal son, and Anguosi and One-eyed Long Jiumu Mihara are both from the Second Army of the former Japanese army.
In the first-level appointment of the captain, Xu Biao, Wu Sansi, Xu Guang, and Xu Xing, who were born in the three major battalions of the Southern Capital and the generals of the Xungui family, were all appointed.
In the end, Gonggong Wei announced that Wu Fuming was appointed as the head of the Military Law Division of the Guards Division, and this person and the division commander Cao Wenyao were both camp officers sent by Wang Yongshou, the right guard of Wuxiang.
