Section 67 Armament Warfare (1)
The reorganization of the army is always very sensitive, because it means the readjustment of power, the natural pleasure of strengthening power, and the inevitable opposition of losing power.
But this thing has to be done.
You have to find the right key to unlock the lock, and Wang Fuqian is this key.
The core of Zhou Lang's reorganization is the 3,000 recruits under Wang Fuqian, and the core of these 3,000 recruits is the local soldiers of the 300 left battalion who followed Colin at the earliest.
Wang Fuqian himself also belonged to one of the first batch of 300 soldiers, and he silently lurked until the period of the Cleansing Heaven and Earth Society, and he was trusted by Colin and became a Chinese officer, and it was with his advice and help that Colin began to officially appoint Chinese grassroots officers, and then recruited 3,000 recruits, all of these 300 people became grassroots officers.
The skills of these three hundred people are undoubted, the training received under Colin is quite strict and formal, the only flaw is that he has been following Colin, so that Zhou Lang can not feel at ease, he is always worried that there will be a small group in the army, before heaven and earth will be able to overhead Colin, similar small groups may not be able to overhead Zhou Lang.
Or to break up the small group before it has formed a cohesive force, he cannot accept the second center of power.
And this person who has the potential to become the second center of power is Wang Fuqian.
Killing Wang Fuqian like killing Colin is a bit of a waste, this person is a talent, if he encounters someone who has the ability to threaten him, he will get rid of it, then Zhou Lang feels that such a career will definitely not be big, just like Liu Bei killed Zhuge Liang because Zhuge Liang was too smart.
The reason why the second power is dangerous is because the second power may conflict with the first power, which is not transferred by human will, because since it has become the center of power, it will be restricted and influenced by the periphery of power, just like Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe, it may not be his own wish, and it is possible for his subordinates to set him up.
In the future, once Wang Fuqian becomes a climate, even if he doesn't want to compete with Zhou Lang for power, his subordinates will instigate him and persecute him.
The good thing is that this second power center is not yet stable, and as long as Wang Fuqian is willing to cooperate, Zhou Lang can completely eradicate this hidden danger now, so he directly talks to Wang Fuqian.
"I didn't know Mr. before, I really missed the talent, is Mr. willing to help me?"
After meeting from Guangzhou, Zhou Lang never talked to Wang Fuqian, and regarded Wang Fuqian as his ordinary subordinate, Wang Fuqian was also very low-key and obedient, but Zhou Lang knew that this person had considerable control over the army, at least stronger than Zhao Wen. It's just that it's not enough to make his soldiers die for him, and his 3,000 men haven't come to life yet.
This kind of smart person doesn't need to be broken directly.
Wang Fuqian immediately realized, showed sincere fear, and immediately knelt on the ground!
"Rong Dashuai is promoted, and the three lives of the humble are lucky, dare not obey his fate?"
Zhou Lang immediately helped him up and continued:
"Since the day of the army, although there have been many hard battles, fortunately, the sky has mercy, and the soldiers have used their lives, and there is a place of current size. There is only one regret, there are many reckless people in the army, although they are loyal and brave, but they are illiterate. Good at charging into battle, clumsy at strategizing. Ben Shuai has been thinking hard for a long time, and there should be a division in the army! ”
There are military positions in the rebel army of the Heaven and Earth Society, which has a lot of rivers and lakes and folk colors, probably because of the military knowledge of the Heaven and Earth Society, and most of them are to the level of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Unlike the civil officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they would recruit a group of think tanks to build their own shogunate, which was the case with Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, and Li Hongzhang even came from Zeng Guofan's shogunate.
Zhou Lang wanted to set up a military division, of course, not because the army was illiterate, but because he wanted to settle Wang Fuqian in a position.
"This marshal has traveled all over the army, only Mr. you are suitable, I don't know if Mr. is willing to give in?"
Wang Fuqian was very crisp and knelt down directly again.
"The handsome man raises love, how dare he disobey his humble position, he must be smeared with his liver and brain, and he will die with all his might. However, I am afraid of missing major events in the future, so please give me more advice! ”
This was said clearly, Wang Fuqian said that he was not only willing to be a civilian military officer, but also asked Zhou Lang for advice, to put it bluntly, he only made ideas, and Zhou Lang had to make a decision, making it clear that he was not greedy for power.
This result was also expected by Zhou Lang, if Wang Fuqian was a hero, he would not let Wang Fuqian come back from Guangzhou alive.
Now that there is a showdown with Wang Fuqian, then it is time to move Wang Fuqian's men.
"Nowadays, there are good and bad things in the army, both those who have been in battle for a long time, and those who have just served in the army. I have a strategy, please refer to the military for details. ”
Then Zhou Lang came up with the idea of disrupting soldiers and officers.
With Wang Fuqian's cleverness, of course he understood what Zhou Lang meant, and he praised Zhou Lang for being thoughtful.
After that, things are simple, with Wang Fuqian's cooperation, there can be no big opposition. Zhou Lang was very cautious again, and according to the experience of the last time, he first divided the officers for training, then numbered the soldiers, and then assigned them immediately.
Unlike last time, this time Zhou Lang must consider the issue of combat effectiveness. Last time, his subordinates were all recruits, and they only needed to consider the hidden dangers of small groups, but now it is easy to take 800 people to Guangzhou for a trip, so that all the soldiers have gone to the front line and accumulated combat experience.
Therefore, Zhou Lang retained the 500 main force and took out 300 people to mix with these 3,000 people, and the way of mixing was not completely disrupted, but to retain the most basic structure, and mix it in the form of squads and squads.
At the same time, the system was thoroughly improved. The whole army is composed of 10 people in a team, with a team leader. 100 people are a group, and a general manager is set up. Three hundred people are a battalion, and one thousand people are set up. Thousands of people are a brigade, and there is a staff general. After Wang Fuqian's 3,000 recruits were completely reorganized, they were divided into 300 teams, and every nine teams were mixed into a group with Zhou Lang's team.
After such digital construction, each regiment has a number, and now there are a total of 380 regiments under Zhou Lang. The basic positions of the 300 officers under Wang Fuqian have not changed, and it was the captain who was in charge of 10 people in the past, which accounted for the vast majority of the 300 people, and the regiment commander who used to be in charge of 100 people is now the regiment commander. But the officers at the level of General Qian, all of them were Zhou Lang's subordinates, and the four generals were Zhao Wen, Ma Dalei, Hong Jiuzhi and Chen Xiaoshou. The artillery was formed into a separate army, still led by Chen Zhizhi, and in order to improve the status of the artillery, although the number is currently small, Chen Zhizhi was still appointed as a general.
