Chapter 484 High salary and incorruptible

For the two non-main teams of Wang Xing and Chen Qice, Lin Xiao also considered.

What Lin Xiao admires most about Wang Xing is that this person is righteous and loyal, although he acts a little recklessly, he leads the troops well and fights bravely.

In addition, judging from his experience of staying alone in a lonely city and fighting with the Tartars for several years, he is still a general who knows the art of war.

Wang Xing's loyalty has been tested, and Lin Xiao believes that as long as Lian Chengbi is not rebelled by the small court, he will not be able to produce a moth.

And Lianchengbi, who is outstanding and very forward-looking, must have seen through everything because he was impressed by the thoughts and actions of Lin Xiao and the captive army, and parted ways with the gangsters under Yongli without hesitation.

During the land reform in Guangdong, he resolutely turned against the wealthy gentry, so that after Yongli returned to Zhaoqing, he sat in Lianchengbi in Guangzhou, although he still regularly supplied grain and rice to him according to Li Tao's wishes, but repeatedly refused to go to the court to face the saints, and was no longer willing to be a foolish and loyal minister.

Of course, no one is perfect, unlike Lian Chengbi, who has an elegant temperament, Wang Xing, who was born in a reckless manner, has obvious old warlord habits, and he has also done such things as indiscriminate killing of innocents and arson and looting in Guangdong before.

But this kind of thing, in this era of no food and no pay, which warlord has not done it?

Lin Xiao believes that after becoming a member of the new soldiers, he is bound by military law and has ideological transformation, and this Wang Xing is a usable material.

Although Wang Xing's troops, although the equipment is very poor, the most advanced weapons are all kinds of old-fashioned birds, and the lack of artillery, its firepower is not even as good as that of Jiao Lian's unit, but this battle-hardened Guangdong army is brave in battle, and its fighting style is quite fierce.

Therefore, Lin Xiao placed great expectations on his ultimate combat effectiveness after reorganization.

Therefore, Lin Xiao planned to expand it into a lightly armed mobile division on the basis of the 5,000 elite cavalry brought to Zhejiang by Wang Xing, and officially give the number of the first cavalry division.

In terms of work style rectification, with Xia Bomin's help, in terms of equipment, after the reorganization is completed, all of them will be distributed with formal rifles and sabers, plus a small number of machine guns, so that it will become a veritable second-class main force.

As for the part of Wang Xing's men and horses who stayed in Guangdong, they will be transferred to the local military region on the spot, and they will be controlled by Lianchengbi, and Gong Tieniu will be responsible for training and management in peacetime.

In Lin Xiao's vision, the number of the Second Cavalry Division was reserved for Jiao Lian.

It's just that, for now, Jiao Lian's department is still a friendly army, and Jiao Lian, the Duke of Xuanguo, has not officially defected to the captive army, and he still needs to wait patiently.

Chen Qice's sailor, Lin Xiao plans to directly reorganize it into the South China Sea Fleet, the "Unicorn", which will be Chen Qice's ship in the future.

For this fleet, which is composed entirely of old-fashioned sailing ships, Lin Xiao naturally did not consider asking them to go on an expedition, and their main task will be the coastal defense and transportation of materials from Temasek to the coast of Guangdong.

The real ocean-going fleet, he wants to leave it to Li Hanzhi or Fang Yuchun.

Later, after the ironclad ships under construction were launched, Lin Xiao prepared to transfer the "Qinzhou" and other large sailing ships to the city, and formally formed the Nanyang Fleet to deal with the Western European colonists......

In addition, in terms of the treatment of military personnel, in consideration of the actual situation, starting from the end of the year, all units within the army have also made upward adjustments to the salaries of officers at all levels.

Originally, Lin Xiao thought that his old brothers were all singles, and they were in the army all day long, and all the expenses for food were borne by the troops, and there was no place or opportunity to spend money, and it didn't matter if they received a salary or not.

However, after the expansion of the troops, the identity and age structure of the personnel suddenly became complicated, so that Lin Xiao had to consider some practical issues and make some compromises.

Represented by Wang Xing, Chen Qice, Mo Yuanwei, Chu Fang, etc., the guys from the old army still have some remnants of the old warlord habits due to the imprint of the times.

Most of them habitually keep a number of pro-soldiers, and some of them have long dragged their families with them, and they have considerable pressure to live.

Lin Xiao knew that he could not expect them not to eat the fireworks of the world, and to demand them completely as proletarian revolutionaries who had nothing.

Even in the main force, the large number of newly promoted battalion and company-level officers, among whom the elderly, will see that they will start families one after another, and they must need sufficient salaries to support their families before they can lead the troops to fight with peace of mind.

Yes, Lin Xiao decided to pay a high salary!

The purpose of this move is very clear: to eradicate corruption in the military at the source with strict military discipline and generous treatment.

Lin Xiao ordered that the whole army should be treated equally, from soldiers to generals, and the military salary would remain unchanged, and each person would be five taels of silver per month.

However, officers at all levels, starting with the platoon commander and continuing to the division commander, implement a system of post allowances: ranging from 5 taels to 25 taels, with the upper limit of 25 taels per month for division-level cadres.

Lin Xiao roughly calculated that at the current prices, senior officers like Yu Cheng, Mo Yuanwei, Chu Fang, and Feng Suqin would have an annual salary of 360 taels plus a salary of 360 taels, which was enough for them to settle their families and raise a small team of personal horses.

As for the generals like Wang Xing and Chen Qice, who are in charge of their own affairs, since the expansion of the number of troops, the allocation of equipment and materials, and other matters are all planned and undertaken by the General Headquarters, they do not need to worry about anything financially, and they are no longer allowed to intercept the small treasury.

In short, in a word, the captive army belongs to the state, and it is not allowed to raise private soldiers.

From top to bottom, officers at all levels must strictly abide by the system of confiscation of war booty, and must not embezzle public property or accumulate wealth for personal gain, so as not to end up repeating the mistakes of the past and degrading military discipline to the point of being out of control.

Finally, in order to reflect the equality of officers and soldiers, Lin Xiao also made unified regulations on the titles of soldiers for officers at all levels.

At the grass-roots level, soldiers are all called their superiors by such positions as "squad leader," "platoon leader," and "company commander," and it is also stipulated that all senior officers such as division and regiment commanders, including Lin Xiao himself, should be addressed as "chief," and that they should no longer use the outdated titles of the old Ming army, such as "lord," "official," and "general."

Li Tao and others naturally understand and are happy to see the above measures come to fruition, and they believe that they should also be followed and implemented at the local level, adopt the policy of carrots and sticks, and manage cadres at all levels in a unified manner......

……

"What do you think?"

Seeing that Lin Xiao was a little stunned, Li Tao pulled his arm and shouted, "Let's go, let's go, let's take a look at your future headquarters." ”

"Uh...... It's a military academy ......."

Lin Xiao came back to his senses and muttered as he walked.

"How?"

Li Tao quipped, "Let me be your staff, you don't plan to set up a nest here?" ”

"That's it, head,"

When Xia Bomin behind him heard this, he also hurriedly echoed, "You don't have a decent general's mansion yet." ”

"Does it matter?" Lin Xiao glanced back at him.

"Of course it's important,"

Li Tao had a straight face, and said, "We are not guerrillas, we don't have a formal command center, we don't put out the signboards, in the eyes of the people, we have no authority, and if we don't have a proper name, how can we give orders?" ”

"Isn't this still you?"

"So, I'm your long history, so I should work in your general's mansion,"

Speaking of this, Li Tao pointed at Xia Bomin, "Originally, we planned to leave the governor's yamen to you, since you don't like to be lively, then choose Gushan." "Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
