The day after the defeat of the Qing army at Nanxi, the news had spread throughout Yunnan Province.

The Governor's Mansion of Kunming, Yunnan, at this time, Xiliang, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, who was the official of the feudal territory, was furious in the governor's palace.

"Damn's Yang Zhenhong, one day, only one day of fighting and then defeated like this, Bendu's 5,000 new army was wiped out by this damn stupid pig, doesn't he know how much Bendu spent to train a new army of more than 10,000 people in this town? And the food and salary that have just been raised are handed over to that group of rebels, and you are all stupid pigs, just everyone who can share the worries of this governor......" Xiliang stood on the high hall and scolded, along with a group of courtiers from various yamen in Kunming City

The g-ordered officer scolded together.

The officials in charge of the various yamen below were all angry and did not dare to speak out, and they were quite aggrieved in their hearts, why are you scolding us for defeating the general who is in charge?

But they all know that their boss is extremely angry now, and naturally no one dares to explain anything.

Xiliang scolded for a while, coughed again and again, immediately picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's it, the matter has come to this, and the governor has nothing to do, and he ordered the new army battalion to transfer 2,000 new troops to reinforce Wenshan Prefecture, and also ordered the Ordo General Army to transfer another 5,000 Eight Banner soldiers from the Yellow Flag camp in northern Yunnan, and also reinforce Wenshan Prefecture, and return it to the command of General Yang Zhenhong." ”

Xiliang took a sip of tea, and then said angrily: "Tell Yang Zhenhong, don't think about attacking the estuary first, give me to defend Wenshan Prefecture, and lose Wenshan Prefecture, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu comes, this governor will also put him to death to Ling Chi." ”

Lin Qiping, the governor of Yunnan, replied with some uneasiness: "My lord, in this way, there are not many available soldiers around Kunming City, in case of an accident in Kunming City, how can you ensure your safety, my lord?" Also, the food and salary for the troops to be sent again really can't be raised, and the lower officials think that it is more prudent to strengthen the forces to garrison Kunming City. ”

As the governor of Yunnan, Lin Qiping felt bitter, when he sent troops, he needed food, and the last time he sent troops, he offended all the rich businessmen in Kunming, big and small, and asked him to raise food and salary at this moment, he thought that it was better to die, and he really couldn't take this errand anymore.

Xiliang suddenly said angrily with some impatience: "You know a fart, Wenshan Prefecture is currently the top priority, if Wenshan Prefecture is lost, the rebels will be able to drive straight in, and the soldiers will come to the city of Kunming, repeating the mistakes made at the beginning of the year, and even if the rebels win again, they will be in the court."

g will also directly issue a decree of accountability, and the governor's position cannot be kept, do you think you can still be better? As for the food and salary for the troops, I will let the governor of Guizhou raise it, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Lin Qiping breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and sighed again and again in his heart, Fortunately, fortunately, he mourned for the brother of the governor of Guizhou, you have worked hard.

Xiliang looked at Lin Qiping's instantly relaxed appearance and knew what he thought, and ignored him, and continued: "This governor will also immediately go to the imperial court to ask for tribal reinforcements and food, but it may take a while, the current top priority is to hold Wenshan Prefecture, I heard that the weapons and equipment of this group of traitors are extremely powerful, comparable to foreigners, and this governor will also go to the imperial court to find out the situation." ”

At the same time, the staff of the Bakou Revolutionary Rebel Army.

Huang Zhongting is presiding over a meeting on the reorganization of the troops, and last night's meeting only summed up the battle, and Huang Zhongting has not yet figured out how to expand the number of troops at this time as the number of troops increases rapidly.

At this moment, after a night of deep thought, Huang Zhongting had a plan, so he organized a meeting for the reorganization of the troops with two panda eyes early in the morning.

There is no way, it is not only good to have more subordinates, but the disadvantage is that there are more places to worry about, pain and happiness are not only women can experience, and now Huang Zhongting also understands it.

In the conference room, Huang Zhongting saw that all the important officers had arrived, and Xu Guichuan, who was stationed in Nanxi, was also recalled, Huang Zhongting said directly in a deep voice: "The army changed its banner to the Yunnan Protector Army, established the first division of the Protector Army, and temporarily organized three regiments, the numbers of the three regiments are 101 regiment, 102 regiment and 103 regiment respectively, each regiment has jurisdiction over three conventional battalions, a reconnaissance company, an engineer company, a machine gun platoon and a cooking squad, a total of 1,030 people in addition to officers at all levels, and a total of 3,090 people in the three regiments. ”

Huang Zhongting looked at the officers under his command and knew what they were thinking.

Huang Zhongting continued: "In addition, the first division has a guard company, a reconnaissance company, a baggage battalion and an artillery battalion directly under its jurisdiction, and the baggage battalion is configured according to the full strength of the conventional battalion, and the artillery battalion will incorporate all the Krupp mountain guns and those rifled guns of our army, tentatively with a full strength of 200 people, and a total of 650 people directly under the division level except for officers. ”

So far, there are 360 people directly under the jurisdiction of the First Division of the National Protector Army, and 3,090 people in the three full regiments, with a total of 3,740 people.

The officers below still didn't wait for the point, they were all a little moved by Huang Zhongting's adaptation, they all wanted many important positions, the point, big brother, what is our position? Hurry up.

Huang Zhongting continued to emphasize that all the original units except for the original guard company were disrupted, including the new barracks and the Qing army of the uprising, and the original squad and platoon commanders were all promoted to one level. The General Staff Department is responsible for coordinating all divisions of troops.

The new battalion has recruited nearly 3,000 people, plus nearly 800 people from the previous three battalions, and nearly 500 Qing troops who have rebelled, and the total strength has exceeded 4,000.

There will inevitably be follow-up actions in this Qing army's defeat, which may be more severe than this time, and Huang Zhongting is also a little anxious in his heart, so there is this large-scale expansion.

At this moment, the officers below couldn't sit still, what kind of trouble? Don't know what we care about? Even Cai Ye was a little looking forward to it, although it was a little awkward to look at Huang Zhongting, who looked very young and sat on the main seat above, but he had been here for a long time, and he had heard some news, knowing that after the failure of the Hekou Uprising, it was this young man on the main throne who turned the situation around, and it was also under his command that there was this national protector army whose combat power was comparable to that of the Western foreign army, and he felt that the little awkwardness in his heart was nothing.

After Huang Zhongting finished speaking, he coughed twice, and then said in a more serious voice: "I order." ”

The people below who were originally a little impatient immediately straightened up.

"Huang Zhongyuan, commander of the first division of the Yunnan National Protector Army, and Cai Yi, deputy division commander; Tang Jiyao, head of the 101st regiment, and Li Shaoyang, deputy head of the regiment; Xu Guichuan, head of the 102nd regiment, and Li Desheng, deputy head of the regiment; Liao Zhongyi, head of the 103rd regiment, and Li Kan, deputy head of the regiment. Huang Zhongting appointed several divisional and regiment-level officers and deputy officers in one go.

The people below are some happy and some sigh, such as Gu Haiqiang and Chen Guosheng, who have not been named yet, thinking that they have not been reused, and they are a little lost.

Huang Zhongting paused slightly, and then said: "The chief of staff of the staff is concurrently served by Cai Yi, and Gu Haiqiang is appointed as the deputy chief of staff, and he is also the commander of the guard company of the staff department, responsible for the new barracks, the recruitment office and other matters; Chen Guosheng was appointed deputy chief of staff to preside over the daily work of the general staff. ”

At this point, all the officers have been reappointed, and all of them are considered to have been promoted, and everyone is happy.

After the meeting was dismissed, in accordance with Huang Zhongting's order, all units of the First Division of the Yunnan National Protector Army also began to divide troops in an orderly manner.
