Chapter 13 Reorganization
From a commander of 50 people to a commander of more than 500 soldiers, the number of subordinates has increased tenfold, and Zhang Luo, as the commander, has made all kinds of psychological preparations.
In any era, the more perfect the system and discipline, the less troublesome the troops will have. The key to formulating systems and disciplines lies in the purpose of the system. Now that Taiping Dao is facing strong pressure, Zhang Luo is more at ease. Any organization, as long as there is consensus and external pressure, can have a strong motivation.
For example, the brothers of the newly assigned county soldiers under Zhang Luo, the highest-ranking commander is only the team leader. Among them, the most appealing one is a chief named Guan Hai, who is twenty-five or sixteen years old and a native of Donglai County, Qingzhou. The figure is as majestic as an iron tower, and he is 1.95 meters tall.
Zhang Luo arranged everyone to stay, and then met with the five hundred county soldiers and brothers. At this meeting, Guan Hai said with tears in his eyes: "Zhang Junhou, I all know that after being captured, I participated in the rebellion and was arrested, and that was to be executed by Ling Chi." Those brothers who left also felt that they couldn't hold on here, so they fled back quickly while no one knew that they had joined the Taiping Road. But we are all famous, and even if we run back, we can only hide! In that case, it's better to make a situation! ”
Naturally, these words did not have the pride of changing the world and the feelings of taking saving the people as their own responsibility. Zhang Luo didn't think there was anything wrong with Guan Hai's words. It cannot be considered in the minds of future generations, and the current uprising in Taiping Dao cannot reach that height ideologically in any way, and it is not easy for the rebels to devote themselves to a war that tries to change their fate with a firm attitude.
Zhang Luo talked with the brothers of the county soldiers and confirmed that these brothers basically had the same thoughts as Guan Hai. They have despaired of their lives and hope to rise up to overthrow this oppressive and hopeless world. And the Taiping Dao proclaimed to everyone that "opening the world of peace" can indeed meet the spiritual needs of the brothers. Taiping Dao at least outlines one very clear thing, that is, the complete elimination of the Great Han. This alone has expanded the originally very limited horizons of these people, at least they know that they have joined a team that "fights the world". If they can "conquer the world" and overthrow the former oppressors, these participants can become part of the rulers.
Of course, Zhang Luo would not preach to these brothers about some ideas of later generations, but he did not hide his personal interests or look down on these brothers who dared to participate in the rebellion. It's just because, even if they say it, they don't understand it, and it's impossible to understand it correctly.
"Brothers, since everyone is fighting together, I naturally believe everyone. At lunchtime, I said that since everyone didn't leave, since everyone stayed in Guangzong City. What does it have to do with those brothers who say goodbye to each other? Scolding the brothers who didn't leave, isn't this forcing everyone to go! Zhang Luo also said sincerely, and the brothers below were relieved when they saw that his attitude was so firm.
Seeing that the mood of the troops was finally stabilized, Zhang Luo continued: "Brothers, don't worry, those who leave have nothing to do with everyone. Rest well, everyone, and we'll send troops in a few days! ”
After appeasing the new subordinates directly under him, Zhang Luo still had to contact the troops that Zhang Liang handed over to him. This tun is full of editors, and the tun chief's name is Xu He, who is a native of Jinan, Qingzhou.
Xu He knew that Zhang Liang valued Zhang Luo, and he respected Zhang Luo very much during the conversation. Zhang Luo naturally couldn't put up the shelf of the chief, he agreed with Xu He to meet with another Tun's brother the next day.
Since Zhang Luo was promoted, Zhang Luo was also given a single room in the camp. Zhang Luo used this place as his office, and he called his five old brothers, Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang, Bian Xi, Du Yuan, and Liao Chun, into a meeting. Zhou Cang usually didn't say a word, but after seeing Zhang Luo, he recommended himself, "Junhou, I want to be a tun commander!" ”
"Yuanfu! You know what I'm thinking? Zhang Luo asked.
Zhou Cang has studied in a private school for a year, and he is considered a cultural person under Zhang Luo, so he has a table. Pei, Du, and Liao have all studied in private schools for a period of time, and Bian Xi has studied the most in private schools for two and a half years.
"But I don't know!" Zhou Cang replied bluntly.
Zhang Luo said unceremoniously: "Look at your little bit of interest!" It's nice to be a tun chief! ”
Zhou Cang felt like he had been slapped on the head, and he smiled a little embarrassedly: "If I am directly a military candidate, this is not suitable." I'm anxious because I have a lot of food, and the tun chief can get more supplies. Much longer than sh! ”
Seeing Zhou Cang say this, Zhang Luo was a little embarrassed, he had been thinking about the official position for a long time. I'm afraid that he still dares to promise official positions to the old brothers below, such as promising a few positions of army commander and even chief.
didn't mention such things, Zhang slightly lowered his voice a little, "I called everyone here, but I want to talk to my brothers." I have made up my mind that this official position is separated from the salary, and that everyone's position is only related to the salary they are allocated. How to arrange it specifically, but we have our own set. ”
"Why?" The five old brothers didn't expect Zhang Luo to do this, and they didn't understand the current establishment of Taiping Dao, they only knew that it was an imitation of the Han army, not to mention the establishment that Zhang Luo hoped for.
Zhang Luo faced the core strength of his own troops, and said calmly: "Everyone is their own people, so I will also explain it to my brothers." If we change the establishment from above, it will be a capital crime. So for the top, we naturally can't change the law like this. Call it however you want. But we can't do that if we fight our own wars. Therefore, our own brothers must not talk nonsense to the outside world. You remember this for me. ”
"This is natural!" Bian Xi took the lead and said. Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang and others were Zhang Luo's old subordinates, but they just nodded.
"I think the key to fighting a war is to build four systems. General Staff, Training Team, Officers' Group, Logistics Office. Although there are only fifty of our old brothers, the more than 500 new brothers have to be gradually incorporated into our team. Instead of letting them get together on their own......" Zhang Luo began to explain his vision to his core staff.
Zhang Luo actually wanted to adopt the three-three system in later generations. Three people are a tactical group, alternately covering, flexibly interspersed, and rapidly assaulting. Dividing a tiit into three combat groups, that was the original idea. However, after three months of fighting, it turned out to be too fucked up. Cold weapon warfare and hot weapon warfare are not the same thing at all.
In the right terrain, a machine gunner or in order to suppress hundreds of enemy troops could not advance half a step. Even one soldier can harvest the lives of two thousand enemies in a day.
But in the era of cold weapons, such a thing does not exist. The crossbowman can fire two pots of arrows when he has enough stamina, and if he exceeds two pots of arrows, the crossbowman will have no stamina. Moreover, just a few archers could not form a dense barrage in later generations to suppress the enemy's attack.
At this time, it is a tragedy to adopt the three-three system to counterattack. In ancient times, since the Shang Dynasty and the Shiwu system, no matter how the name has changed, the successive dynasties have basically adopted the 25 system.
In the era of cold weapon warfare that lasted for more than 2,000 years, could it be said that there was not a single military genius who changed the Shiwu system? The answer is yes, not because China has no geniuses, but because the Shiwu system founded by Shang Ying has been tested in actual combat for more than 2,000 years.
However, the chain of command can be used as a reference to improve, and the face of ancient famous generals can at least be defeated from here.
From the second day, Zhang Luo got in touch with the new brothers and began to implement the work he had arranged.
All the brothers conducted a drill first, and they were better at discerning the direction, and the legs and feet were fast, so they were naturally assigned to the subordinates who led Bian Xi in the marching army. The marching army is the reconnaissance unit of Zhang Liu's department, which is the eyes and ears of the whole army, and is responsible for communication and contact.
Those whose physical fitness is not bad, but whose combat ability is weak, are temporarily assigned to the troops in charge of Liao Chun. He let go of the reorganization of his subordinates, and the core combat unit of the whole army consisted of more than 270 people.
The combat units were armed with only two weapons, bows and spears, and only marching knapsacks and weapons were carried when marching. You don't have to carry a lot of baggage like last time.
Pei Yuanshao served as the first tuntun chief, Zhou Cang served as the second tun chief, Guan Hai served as the third tun chief, Sima Ju served as the fourth tun chief, and Wang Zhen served as the fifth tun chief.
