"This king left you, you must be clear in your heart!" Feng Yunshan said directly: "In the future, the Holy Army, oh, no, from now on, it will be called the Chinese Capture Army!" In the future, the main specific commander of the captive army will not be this king, but the general staff that is about to be established! And you will become the backbone of the General Staff! ā
Seeing everyone's happy faces, Feng Yunshan continued: "The General Staff is directly responsible to this king!" The person in charge of the General Staff is called the Chief of the General Staff, and there is one chief and two deputies. The General Staff Headquarters consists of five major departments: the Operations Department, the Training Department, the Intelligence Department, the Logistics Department, and the Military Science Department. ā
"Brother Outline, and Brother Lin, if you two want to command the army, you won't enter the General Staff! However, this time, the General Staff has been newly established, and there is not enough manpower, and it is necessary to compile the "Regulations for the Establishment of the Chinese Capture Army" as soon as possible. Feng Yunshan directly assigned the task.
Luo Xuan and Lin Fengxiang's faces were gloomy, they were not able to enter such an important general staff as the Holy King said, although they were not dissatisfied with Feng Yunshan, but they were inevitably unhappy in their hearts.
Seeing this, Feng Yunshan explained: "Brother Outline, Brother Lin, although the General Staff is important, after all, it is only a counselor's plan, and you have to command the soldiers to carry out the specific operation." Moreover, if you want to enter the General Staff, you must first at least be able to read and write, otherwise, how can you understand the battle plan? And after entering the General Staff, you can't lead the soldiers. If you want to enter the General Staff, first of all, you must be able to know more than 1,000 Chinese characters within three months. ā
Hearing this, Luo Xuan and Lin Fengxiang hurriedly shook their heads and cleared their minds. Kidding, they barely knew their own names, and getting them to re-literate was no different from letting them embroider. Moreover, if they enter the general staff, they can't lead the troops, and neither of them can accept this, but they can still obediently lead the troops to fight.
Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Feng Yunshan smiled secretly and continued: "In the future, the commanders of the captives army and the General Staff Headquarters and other institutions will be called a certain commander. Since none of you are familiar with the situation of the General Staff, for the time being, this king will also serve as the chief of the General Staff! Lu Shunde and Zuo Zongtang served as deputy chiefs of general staff; The head of the operations department is concurrently served by Lu Shunde; Tan Shaoguang served as the director of the training department, and Cui Datong served as the deputy director of the training department; The director of the intelligence department is concurrently served by Zuo Zongtang; Xu Xiangguang was temporarily appointed deputy director of the Logistics Division, and Xu Shou was appointed deputy director of the Military Science Division. ā
"The duties of the Operations Division are to be responsible for the overall strategy and tactics of the captured army, to formulate operational plans and mobilization plans, and to help combat units implement, direct and coordinate the combat operations of various armies."
"The duties of the training department are to be responsible for the training and selection of officers and the training of soldiers, as well as the organization and improvement of joint operations in different armies."
"The responsibility of the intelligence department is to collect and provide all information conducive to operations, including information on the enemy, battlefield environment, weather, weapons and equipment, and other factors, and to provide intelligence support for the operations department and combat units."
"The main responsibilities of the logistics department are to be responsible for the logistical needs of the officers and men of the captured army, such as food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and to formulate the mode of transportation for the marching troops of the combat army, to provide plans for the service of the engineering troops, camps, and to build positions, and to help contact the support troops to arrive as soon as possible.
"The main responsibility of the Military Science Department is to develop and produce advanced weapons and equipment, and to provide advanced surveying, statistics, topographic mapping and other assistance. At this stage, it is to recruit and collect all kinds of craftsmen, as well as foreign scientists, to develop new weapons and equipment. ā
In one breath, he expressed his vision for the five major divisions of the General Staff, and Feng Yunshan basically covered the military general staff system of Prussia and China in later generations.
At first, Zuo Zongtang only thought that this general staff was just a new term invented by the Holy King, modeled after an institution set up by the Manchu Military Aircraft Department. At most, recruit a few staff members to help the military counsellor.
As Feng Yunshan said more and more, the more he spoke, the more smoothly he spoke, a strict and systematic military command structure appeared in front of Zuo Zongtang's eyes! The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a great military creation.
Once completed, this general staff will certainly become a key organ for commanding the captive army, and will not only become a school for training military elites and specializing in the study of war experience, but also a sharp weapon for waging war efficiently and using all means to achieve victory.
After talking about the functions and personnel appointments of the General Staff, Feng Yunshan immediately said some of his ideas for the reorganization of the military system, and asked Zuo Zongtang and others to sort them out and compile them into the "Regulations for the Establishment of the Chinese Capture Army".
ā¦ā¦
Two days later, Feng Yunshan first announced the reorganization of the Holy Religion, changing the original Holy Religion of God worship to the Chinese Revival Association.
Feng Yunshan appointed himself president and was the supreme leader, and appointed Luo Xuan as vice president. It has an executive committee, which is the right organization of the China Revival Association.
The number of members of the executive committee is not fixed, and all of them are appointed by Feng Yunshan and are responsible to Feng Yunshan.
Under the Executive Committee, nine subordinate institutions were temporarily established, including the Ministry of General Affairs, the Ministry of Propaganda, the Ministry of Investigation, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Security, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Craftsmen.
In Feng Yunshan's conception, the General Affairs Department was the center of all kinds of administrative affairs of the entire China Revival Association, and provided himself with the support of a think tank and staff, somewhat similar to a certain general office in later generations, which took the lead in all kinds of affairs.
The Propaganda Department is responsible for carrying out all kinds of propaganda activities inside and outside the China Renaissance Association, especially to the general public.
The Investigation Department is to grasp the internal investigation and discipline of the China Renaissance Association, as well as various investigations and handling of the people, the military, and businessmen in the jurisdiction, which is somewhat similar to the Discipline Inspection Commission in later generations.
The responsibilities of the Ministry of Finance are relatively clear, and the revenue and expenditure are equivalent to the total holy treasury in the original holy religion.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is responsible for internal management, the formation and development of the congregation, is similar to the Organization Department of later generations.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for foreign relations, diplomacy and commerce. It is a comprehensive institution of diplomacy, commerce, united front and external liaison.
the Ministry of Security is responsible for Feng Yunshan's protection; the protection of the people under the jurisdiction of the China Revival Association; Arrest and arrest of all kinds of criminals and spies, as well as sabotage and assassination activities against the enemy.
The Ministry of Education and Reformation is responsible for educating the brothers and the people under the jurisdiction of the China Rejuvenation Association, and developing education and medical care.
The Ministry of Artisans is responsible for all construction in the occupied areas, the development of housing, transportation, water conservancy, mines, and other facilities.
All members of the Holy Church will automatically become members of the China Revival Association.
Originally, Feng Yunshan only wanted to reorganize and reform the Holy Army, but as he discussed with his subordinates and his own thinking, he found that without adapting the Holy Sect, it would be impossible to reorganize the Holy Army established on the basis of the Holy Sect.
The impact of the changes in the Holy Religion was too great, but Feng Yunshan had already realized that with the Taiping army further conquering the city of Nanjing and establishing a solid local government in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, according to the temperament of Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, sooner or later, as in the original history, some civil policies of anger and resentment would be implemented, especially the prohibition of the people from having private property, the surrender of everything to the holy treasury, and the extermination of all other religions and the burning of all other books, which led to a great loss of popular support.
Therefore, Feng Yunshan decided to reorganize the Holy Sect and draw a line with Hong Yang and others, who had completely ruined the reputation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Anyway, the reason has already been found, and heaven and earth will "force" themselves to do this! As long as you give yourself some time to develop, you don't have to be with Hong Yang at all.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Yunshan announced that the original title of "Taiping Holy Army" and all relevant establishments and positions of the Holy Army would be abolished, and the "Chinese Capture Army" would be established.
Feng Yunshan made some slight modifications to the military system of the Chinese Capture Army on the basis of adopting the three-three military system of the later Prussian and Beiyang warlords.
Subsequently, Feng Yunshan issued the "Regulations for the Establishment of the Chinese Capture Army".
The "Charter" first laid down the military system of the captive army.
The most basic level of the army is organized into squads, and the largest establishment is the army.
From bottom to top, they are squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, brigades, divisions, and corps.
The "Constitution" stipulates that the Chinese Capture Army is under the sole command of the China Revival Association, and its president, Feng Yunshan, is the supreme commander.
In order to strengthen the guidance of the China Rejuvenation Association in the army of retainers, the organized units at and above the level must set up branches, and the formed units at the next higher level must appoint members to serve as full-time instructors to assist the commander-in-chief in doing a good job in the military construction of the army.
At the company and battalion levels, there are instructors at the corresponding level, and at the regimental level and above, there are executive members of the China Rejuvenation Association, referred to as executive committees, who are in charge of the internal affairs of the China Rejuvenation Association within their own units, and are responsible for the promotion and promotion of officers and men in their own units.
Squad: 10 soldiers, plus the principal and deputy squad leaders, a total of 12 people.
Platoon: Three squads are a platoon, plus the principal and deputy platoon commanders, a total of 38 people.
Company: Three platoons are a company, and each company has a company headquarters, including company commanders, instructors, deputy company commanders, division chiefs, heralds, medical personnel, clerks, etc., and each combat company is also equipped with a cooking logistics squad of 8 people, with a total of 130 people.
Battalion: Three companies are a battalion, and each battalion has a battalion headquarters, including a battalion commander, instructor, deputy battalion commander, herald and clerk, as well as a battalion guard squad of 5 people, a total of 400 people.
Regiment: Three battalions are a regiment, each regiment has a regimental headquarters, including the regiment commander, the regimental executive committee, the deputy regiment commander, the regimental deputy executive committee, the regimental chief of staff, and several heralds and clerks, as well as 38 guard platoons, 30 reconnaissance platoons, and 20 medical squads directly under the regimental headquarters, a total of 1,300 people.
This is the formation of a standard infantry regiment. In addition, according to the weaponry and combat needs, the artillery regiment, engineer regiment, and baggage regiment for special combat missions will be established, and the personnel will be determined according to specific needs.
Brigade: Brigade is divided into two types: Class A Brigade and Class B Brigade, with Class A Brigade containing four regiments and Class B Brigade containing three regiments.
The brigade headquarters consists of brigade commanders, brigade executive committees, deputy brigade commanders, brigade deputy executive committees, brigade chief of staff, deputy chiefs of staff, and so on, and a staff department is set up in the brigade-level establishment, which is divided into an operational group, an intelligence group, a training group, and a quartermaster group.
The brigade headquarters also has a guard company, a reconnaissance company, a herald platoon, a medical squad, and a cooking logistics squad.
The first-class brigade is about 5,700~6,000 people. 4,500 people in the second brigade.
In addition, the establishment of mixed brigades has also been reserved, and after there are a large number of field artillery pieces in the Chinese army in the future, artillery regiments, demolition companies, and engineer regiments will be added to the first-class brigades, and the mixed brigades will reach the scale of 8,500~10,000 people.
