Zheng Jie didn't speak again, turned around and whispered a few words to Ruan Qi. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Ruan Qi opened his mouth and asked, "Jiang Baihu, if you recruit a new army and hand it over to you for training, how long will it take to become an army, and how many troops can you train?" ”

"The first force needs a run-in between the two sides." Jiang Beiming pretended to be thinking, "Let's do an experiment first, we mean recruit 1,000 troops first, and all of them will be organized and trained into an army according to the new model." Time, it should be half a year. If there are no problems with the first troops, then it will be fast after that, modular production, just follow the routine. ”

The Vietnamese translator didn't understand the modern word "modular production" that came out of Jiang Beiming's mouth, and after thinking about it again, he decided not to translate it for the king of Qingdu first.

"That is the case, according to Jiang Baihu's wishes, first help this king train 1,000 troops."

"Lord Wang." Sun Tianhao shouted below, "How much silver does the prince plan to pay for the training fee of this army?" ”

Zheng Ji didn't seem to hear Sun Tianhao's words, so he turned his head to Ruan Qi and said, "General Ruan, pass on the banquet, this king wants to invite the Shangguo Qincha." ”

"You're really 'Wang Gu talking about him'." Xu Lang scolded in his heart, "It's really a good idea to put these words here."

The Yazhou carried Zhang Guodong, Xu Tianbin, Wang Qianxiang and others to Jinpu, and picked up Lin Zhaolong and Zhou Lei to Shenglong Mansion, and Jinpu's army was temporarily handed over to Zhao Qi. Because He Chaoyong was wounded in the Battle of Annam, the Military Commission made a switch between him and Wang Qianxiang, and let He Chaoyong go to Qiongzhou Mansion, and Wang Qianxiang was sent to Vietnam. Xu Lang flew the pigeon again and reported to Yulin Bay what had happened in Thang Long Province and the training of a new army in Vietnam. The two committees met to study and decided to send Zhang Guodong to Thang Long Mansion in person to convey the meaning of his family. Xu Tianbin and Ye Zhan's lieutenant training course has now been completed, and all four second lieutenants have been promoted to lieutenants.

Zhang Guodong, Xu Tianbin and others were welcomed into a newly built barracks outside Thang Long Mansion, which was a piece of land that Jiang Beiming and Zheng Jie's asked for as a barracks for the new army.

"Now I announce the order of the Yulin Bay Military Council." After greeting Jiang Beiming and the others, Zhang Guodong said solemnly to the traversers in the house: "Order." The Mixed Battalion stationed in Annam and the New Army in Annam were combined into an independent mixed regiment stationed in Annam. Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Beiming was appointed as the head of the mixed regiment; Lin Zhaolong was the deputy commander of the mixed regiment and the platoon commander of the Annan Marine Platoon, and was promoted to the rank of major; Wang Zhaoxing was the deputy commander of the mixed regiment and the captain of the USS God, and was promoted to the rank of major; Major Xu Lang is the chief of staff of the mixed regiment; Zhou Lei was the commander of the first infantry battalion and was promoted to the rank of major; Wang Qianxiang was the commander of the second infantry battalion and was promoted to the rank of major. ”

As soon as Zhang Guodong finished announcing the order, Lin Zhaolong was the first to shout: "Who gave this order, deputy regiment commander and platoon commander, is there such a thing in military history?" ”

"What are you yelling at, you're good." Xu Lang said with a smile, "A circle of you have all been promoted to school officers, so Beiming and I will be able to regain our feet." ”

"I'm talking about Chairman Zhang." Sun Tianhao also began to join in the fun, "This Annan New Army is the army of Zheng Jie, the king of the Qing capital, you are good, you will be incorporated into a mixed regiment when you come up, you are a co-ordination, not a co-ordination." ”

"Special times, special treatment." Zhang Guodong was also not serious, "Those of you who have been promoted to major will not participate in the training of the military academy first, and you will make up for it when you return to Yulin Bay in the future." ”

"The order is announced, everyone sits, let's have a meeting, and I will inform the family of what it means."

Zhang Guodong beckoned everyone to sit down and continued: "My family is very satisfied with your work in Vietnam, especially the idea of setting up a site in Saigon, which has been unanimously praised by the two committees. What the family means is that I ask you to take advantage of this opportunity to train the new Vietnamese army to investigate the real combat effectiveness of the Vietnamese. In the end, there are only two situations, one is that we control this force, and the other is that we can't control it. At best, if we can take full control of this force, the family hopes that in the future we can transfer this Vietnamese force to Yulin Bay, dilute his sense of nation, and preferably completely assimilate him into our own team. At worst, if we can't control this force, then. Zhang Guodong said that, his tone unconsciously aggravated, "The meaning of the family is to consume him in battle, and it must not be used by Zheng Jie." ”

"Chairman Zhang, let me ask a question." "I don't know much about your military, but if we consume this Vietnamese force, will our expansion plan be affected?" ”

"Hehe, Tianhao, it's up to you to solve this problem." Zhang Guodong said with a smile, "The family has also taken this issue into account." Therefore, while training the new army for Zheng Jie, we also have to recruit our own troops. What is our army in Yulin Bay called to the outside world now? Yulin Bay Militia Group. ”

"The family's intention is also to let us start a militia in Vietnam?" Sun Tianhao asked.

"Don't we already have a pioneer group now?" Zhang Guodong replied, "It doesn't matter what it's called, you think for yourself, but this armed force must be there, and the number of people is not too much, two or three hundred people are about the same, and then expand slowly." ”

After consultations, the crossers in Vietnam re-divided the work. Jiang Beiming, Xu Lang, Sun Tianhao, Cheng Yiyi, Zhou Lei and others stayed in Thang Long Mansion to conduct trade and training of the new army; Lin Zhaolong, Wang Zhaoxing, Wang Qianxiang, and the USS God returned to Jinpu with the mission of building Jinpu into a strong military fortress and a transshipment place for minerals and grain.

Zhang Guodong and the others stayed in Thang Long Mansion for a few more days, and the Yazhou raised its sails again and left Thang Long Mansion. Regarding the arrival of the Yazhou, Zheng Jie didn't ask, which made Jiang Beiming and others very puzzled, whether he really didn't know, or pretended not to know.

A few days later, the God sent a teaching team of more than 100 people to the Thang Long Mansion Barracks, which was ordered by Jiang Beiming himself. The 1,000-strong Vietnamese recruits will be organized into 2 recruit battalions and 100 squads. Zhou Lei served as the commander of the first battalion of recruits, and Jiang Beiming personally served as the commander of the second battalion of recruits. Jiang Beiming gave a second order, teaching all veterans with a rank lower than sergeant in the team to be promoted to sergeant, and these people will be filled into the new army as squad and platoon leaders in the future.

Yang Tao didn't go to Zhou Lei this time, but went directly to Xu Lang and Jiang Beiming through Ye Zhan with a sad face, but the two commanders talked with Yang Tao for most of the day, and the order remained the same, the sergeant major of the first battalion of recruits. When Yang Tao saw Zhou Lei again, the old chief said to him with a smile: "Yang Tao, it seems that you can't jump out of the palm of my hand in your life, and you should be my sergeant major honestly." ”

Jiang Beiming's side was preparing for the new army in an orderly manner, but half a month had passed, and the number of the new army was not as large as the teaching team. Among the recruits sent by Ruan Qi were a large number of veterans from the original army, and Jiang Beiming dismissed all these soldiers. In the end, Jiang Beiming had no choice but to inform Ruan Qi that if this continued, the new army would not be able to be formed. Ruan Qi had to agree to Jiang Beiming's suggestion that the teaching team recruit soldiers on their own.

Within three days of the conscription notice being posted in Thang Long Province, nearly five to six thousand people ran to the barracks outside the city to ask to join the army. Because the treatment of being a soldier is really good, he eats and shelters, sees meat every day, and has a military salary of 1 yuan of silver every month.

The whole teaching team began to get busy, from physical examinations, tests, cultural exams to individual conversations. Of course, the cultural test is basically a formality, and few of the people who came to sign up were literate, but Xu Lang, who was in charge of the cultural assessment, still found a Vietnamese Xiucai, this person is called Le Van Thanh, who is also of mixed Chinese and Vietnamese descent, and his mother is Chinese. Fortunately, there were many people in the teaching team, and after a few days of hard work, more than 900 people were screened out from them, and the new army of Vietnam was finally formed.

The God constantly shuttled between Jinpu and Yulin Bay, bringing a large amount of equipment to the new army, and it was transported to Thang Long Province in Jinpu by ship. Sister-in-law's garment factory was only halfway through when it received the military's first big order to customize 2,000 sets of military uniforms and hats for the new Vietnamese army. The military cap designed by Wang Hua has now been adopted by the Military Commission as the military cap of the entire army, but the cap badge of the Vietnamese New Army does not use the "sun and moon shine together", but uses the lotus flower, the national flower of Vietnam, as the pattern of the cap badge. Zheng Jie, for all this, did not pay a penny, and Yulinwan had to deduct it from the rent of Hongji Coal Mine.

In addition, Chiang hired a number of Chinese overseas Chinese as translators through Mu Sui-tak and Yao Han, and required all Vietnamese recruits to learn simple Chinese within three months.

Ye Zhan was officially appointed as the lieutenant and company commander of the first battalion and one company of the recruits, which was Ye Zhan's own request, and he wanted to keep the number of the first company. At the same time, Ye Zhan selected a squad leader Ding Jun, who also participated in the Battle of Annan, from his old 2nd platoon, to serve as his sergeant major.

100 recruits stood crookedly on the training ground of the first company, Ye Zhan and more than a dozen squad platoon leaders and sergeant majors were giving lectures to these recruits: "When you come here, you are no longer an ordinary person, but a soldier. A soldier must have the appearance of a soldier and the duties of a soldier. I know a lot of you came here to be able to eat meat every day, for a penny a month, but that's okay. A year ago, I was just like you, a rookie egg. ”

Ye Zhan's words caused a snicker from these recruits, Ye Zhan didn't care, and continued: "But you look at me now, I'm not older than you, but I can be your commander, why is that?" It is because I am obedient and listen to the words of the superiors, and I obey and obey the orders of the superiors. In our case, obedience is the most basic requirement, and as long as you absolutely obey the orders of your superiors, you will also be like me, putting on the uniform of an officer and giving orders in front of others; It will be the same as me, and he will receive a military salary of 1 tael of silver every month. ”

On the issue of the ideological education of the Vietnamese recruits, Zhang Guodong held a meeting with Jiang Beiming, Xu Lang, and others before leaving, and especially warned Xu Lang that according to the meaning of Yulin Bay, it is necessary to dilute the national consciousness of the country, let alone talk about freedom and human rights, only emphasize discipline and obedience, and use high pressure and inducement to turn this army into a professional army that can only fight.

After Ye Zhan finished speaking, Ding Jun walked in front of the recruit again: "Everyone has heard what the chief said clearly. Not only do you have to listen clearly, but you also have to remember who gave you meat to eat, who gave you such good clothes to wear, and who gave you the money you can feed your family every month, so that your family will not go hungry or suffer from cold. In the future, no matter what you do or think, you must first think about what the chief said. ”

Jiang Beiming sat in the regiment commander's office in the barracks reviewing documents, and Xu Lang smoked silently on the side.

"If you have nothing to do, go to the recruit dormitory, and ask Sun Tianhao for any shortcomings, don't stay stupid here, you have smoked 3 cigarettes this time."

"Beiming, I don't want to stay in the army anymore. I want to go back to school. ”

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Beiming raised his head from the pile of documents, "Which tendon is wrong with you, why did you suddenly say this." ”

"We were busy with the war a while ago, and these days we have been free, and I think about it a lot." Xu Lang stood up and walked up to Jiang Beiming, and closed the folder in front of Jiang Beiming, "Beiming, have a drink with me." ”
