"Chief of General Staff Xu, ladies and gentlemen. Xu Tianbin's tone was a little heavy, "To be honest, when personal interests and national interests are put together, I don't know how to choose."www.biquge.info Deng Zhaohui is my youngest child, we have known each other for six years in our last life, and we have spent four years together in this life. If I am told to give up my revenge, I'm sorry, I can't do it. But I feel that Tao Min's words are sincere, if he really no longer helps Huang Taiji and really wants to reform Korea and the Manchu Qing, then it will be good for the whole country and nation. In this case, if we still choose to oppose Tao Min instead of cooperating, we may miss out on many opportunities. That's what I mean when I say listen to what they say and watch what they do. ”

"Tian Bin, I understand what you mean." Zhou Lei, who was sitting next to him, patted Xu Tianbin, "But I don't agree with you." Tao Min was able to lie dormant for four years, which shows that Tao Min is a very brainy person. I feel that even if Tao Min is really worried about how to deal with the Western colonial era in the future, his original intention will not change. Destroying Yulin Bay and destroying the Ming Dynasty must be his first goal. ”

"I agree with Zhou Lei's opinion." He Chaoyong said, "In Tao Min's heart, Huang Taiji is nothing, and the Manchu regime is nothing, and what he thinks about is how to preserve and develop the Manchu nation." Of course, I can't simply evaluate the right or wrong of Tao Min's idea, but I think Tao Min will definitely take the destruction of the Ming Dynasty as his first choice. This is because he knows too well the development of history, and he knows that even if we can coexist peacefully with him, even if we agree to his request and agree to the Manchu migration to Korea, he will definitely be worried about the problem of the Manchu assimilation, because this problem is indeed a historical trend. ”

The atmosphere was gradually stirred up, and Zeng Guangxian continued: "Let me say something about my personal opinion, I think you all think about the problem too complicated. Yes, we do have to face the colonial era of the West, but let's not forget that the colonial era was built on the strength of ships and guns, and on the basis of the industrial revolution. And now history has changed, the ship's guns and the scientific and technological revolution have been transferred to our side, our technology, our guns are the most advanced in this era. On this trip to Taiwan, I also carefully paid attention to the armaments and warships of the Dutch and Spaniards, who were a whole era behind us. If our East China Sea Pearl is successfully transformed, then the sea supremacy of the entire Southeast Asia and even the Indian and Pacific Oceans will be in our hands. Only we colonize them, they can't colonize us. ”

"Guangxian, don't expect a ship to make much of a difference." Xu Lang shook his head, "The colonial era and the industrial revolution were built on the basis of ideas and national traditions. We have a 400-year-old lead in technology, but this is only the lead of our own people, not the lead of the Ming Dynasty. We are still carrying out a scientific and technological blockade on the Ming Dynasty government, and the thousands of years of tradition of the Chinese nation doom us to lack the pioneering spirit. Needless to say the entire Ming Dynasty, just look at how many of our own people in Yulin Bay are interested in Vietnam, Singapore, Australia, and the Americas, and how many still hold the idea of getting by, hoping to live a life of three wives and four concubines and cages and birds in Yulin Bay. ”

Xu Lang smiled when he said this: "Of course, including myself, I admit that I also want to carry cage birds." ”

The topic is a bit far, but no one has commented on Jiang Beiming's approach, Wang Zhaoxing couldn't help it: "Beiming, don't have any ideas, I'm not right about people." You must have known my letter to the Military Council, and I propose that you be removed from your post as Supreme Commander. In the matter of Tao Min, you are indeed a woman's kindness. ”

"I know." Jiang Beiming said, "I did violate the resolution of the Crossing Conference on the physical elimination of Tao Min, and I accept all the arrangements of the Crossing Conference and the Military Commission. ”

"Regarding Beiming's dismissal, the two committees have already made a resolution." Zhang Guodong said, "The position of the supreme commander of Beiming was appointed by the Crossing Assembly, so procedurally speaking, it can only be removed by the Crossing Assembly. So the committee decided to refer the matter to the General Assembly for a final decision. But I still want to ask for your opinion first, we don't need to distinguish between members of the Military Commission and non-members, all of you here are high-ranking generals of the Yulin Army, and we will vote first, which can be regarded as an opinion of the military. If you do not agree with the recall, please raise your hand. ”

Zhang Guodong's words clearly sent a signal, because he first asked for a raise of hands that disagreed with the recall. In addition to Jiang Beiming, a total of 13 people attended the meeting, and 11 raised their hands.

"I'll inform the committee of the outcome." Zhang Guodong raised his hand without asking for agreement, "As for the question of how to deal with Tao Min, let's leave it to the crossing conference to make a decision." Next, let's make an arrangement for next year's military work, and I want to make some personnel adjustments, and let's come up with a plan and submit it to the cross-cutting conference for voting. ”

Wang Zhaoxing didn't say anything anymore, and Wang Hua asked: "Chairman Zhang, isn't the current personnel arrangement very good, everyone is familiar with their work, why do you need to make adjustments?" ”

"Lao Wang, you are a full man, you don't know that a hungry man is hungry." Zhang Guodong said with a smile, "Those of us who are in Yulin Bay are nothing, but some of those expatriates have been out for more than a year, and you don't want them to go home and live longer." ”

"You are like Tian Bin, Chao Yong, and Qianxiang." Zhang Guodong pointed around, "I haven't gotten married yet, and it's not easy to live outside." ”

"Thank you, Chairman Zhang, for your concern." Zhou Lei smiled first, "I'm not married either, I finally had a Li Muqing, and let Liu Jun take the lead." ”

"Hahahaha." Everyone burst into laughter.

After consultations, the Military Commission came up with a rough plan to be submitted to the Congress for approval.

He Chaoyong was transferred back to Yulin Bay to help Han Wantao reorganize the independent division, and in view of the conscription situation in various places, the Military Commission made new adjustments to the establishment of the independent division and expanded the establishment of the independent division:

There are 12 people in a squad of infantry, 36 people in a platoon, 108 people in a company, and 130 people in the company headquarters plus the guard squad and the cooking squad. The first battalion has 3 infantry companies with 390 people, 36 people from the baggage platoon, 36 people from the guard platoon, and a total of 500 people from the battalion headquarters and medical team. The regiment had 1,500 people in three infantry battalions, 130 people in the guard communications company, and 25 people in the regimental headquarters, a total of 1,655 people. Four infantry regiments 6620 people. The cavalry regiment has 3 battalions and 1,500 people. The artillery regiment has 2 battalions with 850 men and is equipped with 54 6-pounder guns. The five regiments directly under the Fusiliers, armed with flintlock pistols, were still 1,000 people, and the entire independent division was full of 10,000 people.

In view of the fact that the independent division would reach 10,000 people, Zhang Guodong proposed that Jiang Beiming and Han Wantao be promoted to the rank of major general, while Xu Lang, Wang Zhaoxing, and Li Fuqiang should be promoted to brigadier generals, and Wang Qianxiang, He Chaoyong, Xu Tianbin, and Leng Tianbing should be promoted to colonels. Xu Lang also proposed that Ye Zhan be promoted to lieutenant colonel so that he could serve as the commander of the independent division. Han Wantao also proposed that Andreas be promoted to lieutenant colonel and head of the cavalry regiment of the independent division.
