Chapter 208: Changes in People's Hearts
Shi Jingyuan, the chief of the Operations Section of the General Staff Office, he is an old officer, he is almost fifty years old, his early service career was in the Southern Navy, and later after the defeat and death of Duke Lingmeng of Nanhai Prefecture, the Southern Navy was split, and he became a member of the Luo'an Army with Cheng Lingfeng, the commander of the army, and started a family in Luo'an County.
It's just that it was affected by the independence incident of the Guang'an Army four years ago, and then he retired as a young doctor.
After retiring, he lived in Lianguan County, and at the end of last year, Lin Ziran was looking for people everywhere, and he contacted him, and finally accepted the invitation in January.
Of course, people didn't come to take refuge at the beginning because they were optimistic about Lin Ziran, but purely because they were attracted by Lin Ziran's monthly salary of more than 100 yuan.
As a retired officer with no background, although he has some savings but has a wife, this child has a bit of a lot, and they are all small and have a lot of expenses, he has tried to do business but it is not successful.
In order to support his family, he agreed to Lin Ziran to be the instructor of the Suiying Academy at that time, and took a temporary post in the staff office.
But soon, as the strength under Lin Ziran's hands became bigger and bigger, he also regained his ambitions.
Ambitious, capable, and experienced, he soon became the chief of the Operations Section of the General Staff.
Speaking carefully, most of the other professional officers who took refuge in Lin Ziran also had this psychological process, at first they just wanted to mix up some money to protect other reasons, but it was always an expedient measure, and no one thought about messing with Lin Ziran for too long at the beginning.
Wu Guanlin and Xu Zhongshu are typical examples.
But then they all slowly changed their views, especially in the last two months, the rapid expansion of the Supplementary Brigade and the civil strife in Roan County made them see an opportunity for the Supplementary Brigade to go further.
Even if the final supplementary brigade cannot unify Luo'an County, as long as the current scale is maintained, it will not be a problem to entrench one side.
That's enough for a lot of people.
Shi Jingyuan's words can be regarded as a group of professional officers who came over relatively early, and they have relatively deep military qualifications, and they are diligent and diligent, and the most important thing is that they have the ability and rich experience.
It is not surprising that such a person is valued by Lin Ziran.
Lin Ziran planned to let him go to the southbound detachment to be a chief of staff first, and partner with Scar.
This path is actually the same as Xu Zhongshu's, first let him be a chief of staff in the army, but he is actually responsible for combat matters, and when the time is right, he will be promoted to be a battalion commander or something.
There is also the battalion commander of the 7th Infantry Battalion, he is going to promote Deng Liangan, the deputy commander of the 2nd Infantry Battalion, this person is a descendant of Lin Ziran, a native of Qingshan Town, very young and only 21 years old.
He has long been a key training object, and has served as a platoon commander, deputy company commander, company commander, and deputy battalion commander.
The ability to command operations is considered to be in the middle of the rules, and I dare not say that it is too good, but it is okay.
You must know that this person has only been in the army for more than half a year, and he only received three months of study in the camp academy at the beginning, and he can learn so many things in such a short period of time, and he can command the troops in a proper manner, which is already quite eye-catching.
Many young officers who have studied in military academies for three years are not necessarily as good as those who came from half-baked backgrounds.
This time, he was transferred to the 7th Infantry Battalion as a battalion commander.
After getting the commanders of the two newly formed infantry battalions, the rest will be easier to handle.
The position of company commander of the Third Dragoon Company seems to be only a company commander, but it is very important, and Lin Ziran has a total of three cavalry companies under his hands.
After some detailed consideration, Lin Ziran chose Liang Chenglei, the deputy company commander of the second dragoon company, who was also a student of the first phase of the camp academy and a descendant of the Eight Classics.
In fact, the company commanders of the three cavalry companies are all descendants, two old bandits were born, and one was born in the camp school.
The Second Artillery Battalion is also simple, Lin Ziran has already determined the candidate, but this candidate is not his henchman.
Because there were no suitable artillery officers available under his command.
After all, artillery is a serious and technical branch of the army, and the requirements for artillery officers are higher than those for cavalry officers.
can be an artillery battalion commander in an intermediate artillery officer, to be honest, Lin Ziran has no one under him, and even high-definition talents are unqualified, this person is just an older artilleryman, and his artillery skills are good, but it is very reluctant to only be able to fight artillery.
But it doesn't matter if there is no one under your hands, you can also poach people.
Now under his command, even the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment that he raises, they have seven or eight artillery officers from the professional class.
The leader of them was naturally Kong Deyi, but several other artillery officers were also above the passing line.
How can I say it, no matter how bad these artillery officers from the professional class are, they are much better than these half-baked half-hangers under Lin Ziran, as long as they command the operation according to the script, they will not be there.
After thinking about it, Lin Ziran prepared to transfer Yu Jin, the company commander of the Second Artillery Company, from the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment to take up his post.
According to his understanding, this person is not Kong Deyi's henchman, and belongs to the kind of lonely person in the heavy artillery regiment.
Moreover, after transferring this person away, he can also take the opportunity to arrange his own people in the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment and weaken the influence of Kong De and the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment.
Lin Ziran had already regarded the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment as his own unit, but Kong Deyi was too strong in this army.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Ziran planned to divide the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment and take the opportunity to get a few of his henchmen in.
After Lin Ziran made a decision, he quickly issued a proper order to the above-mentioned individuals.
Everyone's reaction to the appointment is different.
After Xu Zhongshu, who was still in Lianguan County, received the order to let him go to serve as the commander of the First Infantry Battalion, the expression on his face was very rich, and even had a feeling of bitterness.
Xu Zhongshu knows his identity very well, a general of Guang'an Toucheng, it is not easy to gain Lin Ziran's trust with such an identity, which is known from his position arrangement, he has always served in the General Staff Office, and he is still a very embarrassing deputy director.
In the first few months, in fact, Xu Zhongshu didn't care much, he just wanted to get rid of the status of a prisoner of war first, and as for the future, he would talk about it later.
But with the rapid changes in the situation in the last two months and in the county, especially the rapid expansion of the Replenishment Brigade, he knew he had to change the status quo.
With the speed of development of the supplementary brigade, he will also be able to make contributions to the supplementary brigade, not to mention the battalion commander in the future, even if it is the regiment commander, the brigade commander is also very possible.
