Chapter 354 ascends to the sky in one step

Half a month later, time has come to the fifth year of Yongli, mid-May.

Xia Bomin's Fourth Regiment's main force in Chaozhou and Huizhou has entered the final stage of land reform.

His main main battalion, the 1st Battalion, the 3rd Battalion, and the Baggage Battalion had already deployed troops on the Fujian-Guangdong border, and the eastward offensive was ready to be attacked.

After re-sorting out his thoughts and arranging the garrisons in various parts of Guangdong, Lin Xiao decided to go to Hong Kong in the near future, where Master Qu Shiyun had been waiting for a long time.

Xia Bomin left an independent battalion stationed in each of the two provinces in eastern Guangdong, and while maintaining local law and order, he also took into account logistical support work, and cooperated with the baggage companies of each battalion on the front line to continuously deliver food, ammunition, and materials to the front.

The civil affairs of the prefectures and counties are in charge of the personnel of the mission office who are dispatched by Lianchengbi, who are mainly responsible for the work of disaster relief and grain release and spring ploughing in agricultural classes.

With the efforts of Lian Chengbi and the personnel of the Mission Office under his command, the land reform in the provinces of western Guangdong was basically completed, and the local garrison was dominated by the Lao Ming army under Wang Xing.

However, Wang Xing was reluctant to stay behind.

He is a general, and it is his life creed that his husband dominates the wind and clouds and spills blood on the battlefield, so he is naturally unwilling to stay in the rear and do nothing.

Moreover, at present, more than 10,000 people under his command have completed rotation training, and even if Wang Xing can obey orders, the soldiers under his command, who have not changed their costumes but have been stimulated by formal training, are all holding back their strength, shouting and asking to go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

Are you kidding!

Just half a month ago, didn't the commander-in-chief swear that he would take us to kill the Western bandits!

Lin Xiao couldn't help it, Wang Xing was not his descendant after all, and if he didn't let him go on the expedition, he would inevitably be suspected of suppressing him.

After discussing with Lian Chengbi, Lin Xiao decided that Wang Xing's department would be divided into two, and a large army of about 7,000 people would stay in Guangdong and be scattered in various provinces.

The 5,000 elite cavalry selected from it was personally led by Wang Xing and immediately left Chaozhou in the east, followed closely behind Xia Bomin, and participated in the Eastern Expedition Campaign.

In this way, Xia Bomin's elite of the second battalion must leave some people behind, so Lin Xiao thought of Gong Tieniu.

Whether it is Zhang Chenfeng or Duan Zhenghong, after their recruits complete their training, they must be promoted at any time, and in such a large territory as the nine prefectures and one state in Guangdong Province (except for Qiongzhou), except for the coastal Hong Kong Island base, there is almost no trace of the captive army in the inland provinces.

The world is unpredictable, why do you have to keep a main company as a rapid reaction mobile force, right?

Even if we do not consider the influence of the small court in Guangxi, there are still many mountain bandits in the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong and Shanwei, and even the remnants of some Tartars have been defeated, and many of them have gone into the mountains to occupy the mountains as kings, and from time to time they will come out to burn, kill and loot to harm one party.

The burden of suppressing bandits and dealing with unexpected affairs fell on the young Gong Tieniu.

Lin Xiao decided to appoint Gong Tieniu as the temporary envoy of Guangdong (the internal position is the acting head of the Guangzhou Garrison Regiment) to assist Lord Lianchengbi in guarding Guangdong and maintaining the locality.

In this way, in the eyes of others, Gong Tieniu's kid hit the shit luck, it's a step to the sky!

You must know that although the official rank of the Ming Dynasty is only from the fifth rank, he is the most powerful military member in the garrison, except for the commander and the commander of the guard.

What's more, on Gong Tieniu, there is no guard commander at all, let alone a commander, he will directly follow Lin Xiao's instructions, and he is completely a feudal official!

Even within the captive army, Lin Xiao's move can be regarded as a combination of Gong Tieniu's blue eyes, and he has been promoted to four levels in a row.

Although Xia Bomin's fourth regiment is about to be upgraded to a division-level unit, if nothing else, the company commander Gong Tieniu can also be successfully promoted to battalion commander, but after all, this is still two levels away from the regiment commander.

You must know that even Lin Xiao's elder brothers, Zhang Chenfeng, Duan Zhenghong, Li Hanzhi and others, have just been promoted to the head of the regiment.

Not to mention, the new head of the garrison is the sole leader, and the 7,000 people left behind under Wang Xing are all under his control.

In fact, this is what Lin Xiao wants.

In the battle of Guangzhou, Gong Tieniu made great contributions and was fully affirmed and trusted by Lin Xiao, which was his honor and greater responsibility.

To put it bluntly, Lin Xiao's move pointed out the direction for those officers and soldiers from poor backgrounds.

As long as you have the ability and courage, as long as you dare to fight, as long as you make a contribution, you can be reused, and it is not difficult to climb from a small soldier to the position of a general.

Obviously, it is enough to have an example.

The role played by Gong Tieniu is equivalent to allowing more officers and men to gain confidence and more capable officers and soldiers willing to dedicate their youth to the army.

From the perspective of talent training, Gong Tieniu's exemplary role is stronger than anything else.

Of course, it's not just Gong Tieniu who is the benchmark.

In the captive army, around him, Yu Cheng, Wang Dong, Hu Zixing, Fu Xinrui, Zu Boyuan, Dong Chengping, Ni Zhisheng, Gong Zhiming and others were all about to be promoted from soldiers and grassroots officers to battalion and regimental officers through self-struggle.

It can be said that this is also a vital part of Lin Xiao's thinking on army building.

Only by establishing a good atmosphere in the army and allowing every capable officer and soldier to get the opportunity to give full play to it, instead of relying on family background and nepotism to get promoted, will naturally more aspiring young people join the army to serve the country, and will naturally be able to recruit more talented people for the army and build an invincible and invincible army that will always win the army.

In fact, except for the comrades-in-arms who crossed over together, among the indigenous officers at all levels who were reused by Lin Xiao, few of them were famous and noble.

In a sense, Gong Tieniu is just one of the more prominent young generals trained by Lin Xiao, and there are many generals similar to him around Gong Tieniu, these people are not only his comrades on the battlefield, but also his competitors in the rear.

If you want to get ahead in the army, if you want to become a senior commander, you need not only to be brave, but also to excel in all aspects.

The reason is very simple, in every army, there will only be one commander, and only the best one will have the opportunity to stand on the highest stage of his own.

Of course, Gong Tieniu himself didn't think about these problems at all, but he knew that the commander-in-chief trusted him and he had to do his best.

……

On May 12, Lin Xiao came to the Chengdong campus again to inspect.

This time, he was going to take three troops with him, except for Zhang Chenfeng's cavalry regiment, which was not in a hurry, and most of the youth battalion and Duan Zhenghong's machine gun company, he was going to take them to the front line in Fujian.

And Duan Zhenghong's engineer battalion, Lin Xiao planned to take it to Hong Kong, where Li Hanzhi was in urgent need of craftsmen.

When they arrive in Hong Kong, they will continue to train while working.

Since there is no need for firearms training for the time being, Wang Xing's thousands of men have already completed their training and have already left for the east a few days ago.

Therefore, the campus of Nuoda suddenly seemed empty.

Zhang Chenfeng's cavalry regiment was divided into several groups, some were practicing cavalry queues in the school yard, some were practicing slashing, some were practicing shooting, and some went outside to continue practicing difficult field riding......

Wang Dong's youth battalion has also completed the assessment of all subjects and is undergoing regular training after becoming an army, mainly some exercises on coordinated offensive tactics.

(Today's question: In the Lotus Xiang Pavilion, Ling'er and Lin Xiao The people next to them ordered a singer and sang a song composed by whom?) What is the title of the song? ）

I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together! I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
