Chapter Ninety-Six: Organizing the Army

Luo Rongguang stood on the top of the North Fort, looking at the blazing bonfires on the beach not far away, the team, under the bonfire, the young but heroic faces, and the big eyes couldn't help but be a little wet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He felt that he couldn't understand this He Changying more and more.

However, the blood and power contained in the song in his ears made his heart tremble.

Luo Rongguang looked around, and almost all the soldiers of the North Third Fort ran out tonight, standing on a high place, looking at it, and learning to sing in a low voice.

"That's it, that's it, tomorrow when I go to Zhongtang, I will only impeach you for ignoring the etiquette of the court and asking for money from the merchants, but you will be humiliated, you scold Ye Zhichao and say that Pyongyang will be defeated, I will not say it."

Luo Rongguang thought in his heart, this He Changying seemed to be completely different from the officials of the Qing Dynasty, it was simply out of place, but he was so popular.

What a demon.

"Demons come out of troubled times!"

This sentence suddenly popped out of Luo Rongguang's head, and he quickly shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Luo Rongguang felt a little tired, sighed inexplicably, and walked off the fort in a depressed manner.

On the road at the foot of the mountain, not far from the beach, two tall horse-drawn carriages were parked in the dark.

More than a dozen black shadows were scattered on the side of the road, and several of them carried long sticks on their backs, all of which were Mauser imported from the West and grabbed them.

"Master, it's not too early; It's windy and the nights are cool, and the young lady is not used to the air of Jinmen, and her throat has been bad for several days. ”

Seeing the old man standing on the side of the road, looking at the bonfire on the beach from afar, and listening to the singing of the waves coming over like waves, the old servant Zhang Zhong couldn't help but remind.

"Daddy, it's not cold here, and breathing the fresh air of the sea, I don't feel as stuffy as before; Ahem-. ”

Inside one of the delicate two-horse carriages, a woman's slightly hoarse sweet voice came, followed by a series of uncontrollable coughs.

"You, if you insist on coming out, I said that if you come out, you won't see Shijie, a bastard boy, tonight."

Zhang Bishi complained lovingly to his daughter in the carriage, hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go." ”

"Daddy, but I still want to hear it, it's so good; No, it's not nice, no, I didn't mean it that way, ahem-"

There was another string of coughs in the carriage: "It's not just good, after listening to this song, I suddenly feel that as a Chinese, it is really a very proud thing, and we don't seem to be much worse than those Westerners." ”

"-- The sun is rising, the sun is shining, and the great motherland is growing; Our bright flag guides the way forward. Our life is improving every day, and our future is bright. The five-star red flag fluttered in the wind, and the victory song was so loud; ――”

With the refreshing sea breeze, the singing came clearly from afar, and it was endless.

"Yes, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, this is the land of our ancestors!"

The corners of Zhang Bishi's eyes were moist, and at this time he felt that he seemed to have touched a trace of He Changying's heart.

It is not for personal pleasure, for greed, for silver.

but for the defense of this country, this nation, and the silver.

This country is not only the emperor's Lafayette's, but also the nobles and princes' ministers, but also his He Changying's.

Of course, it's also your Zhang Bishi's!

That's why he dared to open his mouth and asked for a million, so he dared to be so calm.

"Yes, people use silver to buy equipment, this is to fight for the country and the family, I am so stingy that I can't bear this bit of silver outside my body! But on the ground of the Qing Dynasty, isn't this country the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and isn't it the royal land under the whole world? ”

Zhang Bishi has been thinking about it for a long time, since he jumped out of the big sauce vat of China when he was young and saw the outside world, his views on many things have changed a lot.

Especially because he went to the French Republic several times for business, and heard the great deeds of the French people who sent the French Emperor Louis XVI to the guillotine, which made him full of contempt for these silverfish-like imperial relatives of the Great Qing Kingdom in the depths of his heart.

Zhang Bishi said fiercely: "Master He, I will believe you once; I hope you don't let us overseas survivors be disappointed again! ”

"Zhang Zhong, take 200,000 taels of silver tickets and send them to He Shoubei; You don't have to give him face, tell him that one million is not nothing, first fight a battle and let the overseas Chinese in Nanyang see, he He Changying is a hero, or a soft egg who can only talk big! ”

"Huh?"

There was a soft cry from the carriage, and I don't know whether I was surprised that my father gave this unknown He Shoubei so much silver, or I was surprised that my father, who had always been gentle and kind, was so rude and fierce at this time.

The next morning, before the sun rose, the entire beach new army temporary camp was running at full speed amid the song of 'unity is strength'.

He Changying directly disrupted the Martial Arts Academy, the Sailor Academy, and the Bowen Academy.

Moreover, it directly abandoned the three-level structure of the old-style battalion, sentry, and shed of the Beiyang Army, and adopted the four-level structure of the Western army, battalion, company, platoon, and squad.

In this way, it can effectively avoid the chaotic situation of more than 100 people at a sentry, but only two sentry officers and commanders, commanding more than a dozen squads.

In Ho Changying's vision, a series of future battles from Pyongyang to the banks of the Yalu River would mainly be dominated by guerrilla warfare in motion, supplemented by lightning annihilation of small groups of Japanese troops.

Therefore, all the equipment of the new army is to choose light weapons suitable for long-distance raids and mountain combat.

As for the military branches, He Changying decided to focus on infantry, and then set up a cavalry company of nearly 100 people, and directly armed the horse team of the Armed Forces Academy with Zhang Bishi's silver.

The remaining nearly 700 cadets from the three academies formed two infantry reinforced companies with four platoons and four squads of 12 people, an ordinary infantry company, a battalion belonging to a special reconnaissance platoon, a battalion belonging to a jungle sniper platoon, and one battalion belonging to a guard unit.

Half of the 36 cadets of the medical hall were assigned to four companies as front-line field doctors, and the rest of the cadets were formed into battalion headquarters and military hospitals.

More than half of the 28 cadets of the Telegraph School were sent to the company platoons as correspondents.

The remaining 7 people were led by Liu Xueren, and He Changying took out the money to let Liu Xueren find a way to buy off the logistics office of the Telegraph School, and borrowed an old wired transmitter from the warehouse of the Telegraph School, preparing for them to start experimenting with wireless transmission technology.

In this way, the shelf of the cadet new army is temporarily and simply erected:

He Changying, commander of the new army battalion, Wu Weiyang, deputy battalion commander, and Shen Zhaoao, battalion staff officer.

Lin Yunyu, commander of the first reinforced company, and Lu Shuncheng, deputy company commander.

The second reinforced company commander Hao Tiansheng and deputy company commander Chen Shijie.

Li Zhenhua, commander of the third company, and Huo Guotao, deputy company commander.

Wu Weiyang, deputy battalion commander, is also the commander of the cavalry company, and Duan Xiongbo, the former head of the engineering department, is the deputy commander of the cavalry company.

The battalion belongs to Xiong Kaiyu, the commander of the special reconnaissance platoon, and Liu Mingyang, the deputy platoon commander

The battalion belongs to the rifle sniper platoon platoon leader Fang Dahai, deputy platoon commander Chen Zhihui.

Lu Tiejiao was assigned by Wu Yuren to be responsible for Wu Weiyang's safety, and He Changying simply asked him to be the captain of the battalion guard team and Lu Zhaomei to be the deputy captain.

In He Changying's vision, in the future, each company will also be equipped with operational staff officers and instructors.

However, except for Wu Weiyang, who studied at the German Military Academy, the rest of the new army does not even understand what the specific duties of the staff officers are, and the instructors are even more distant things.

Therefore, it can only be cultivated slowly in future battles.
