The operational summaries of the units were quickly summarized at the headquarters. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Overall, everyone is reviewing, and the most mistakes are "panic", and a few people say that they are a little "afraid of death" when they first go to the battlefield. As for the commanders at all levels, on the contrary, there were more problems, such as the problem of heavy machine guns, and the use of the five battalions was appropriate, but the use of other battalions was obviously inconsistent with the original intention of the campaign, resulting in the weakening of the training effect of the entire army.

As for the initial battle plan to protect the horses, Xu Lie also reviewed it at the meeting above the company commander, saying that he had some wishful thinking, and if the enemy army continued to attack quickly, there might be a hole in the pilot battlefield.

For example, Tang Zhan, the commander of the second battalion, said that after he entered the battlefield, he felt that if he insisted on leaving the live horses, more problems would inevitably arise, but he didn't even point it out, so he was also at fault. In the end, each battalion commander said that he was at fault.

"Since you know that there is a mistake and you don't bring it up, then you will be deducted for one month and a warning will be recorded in the file!" Xu Lie looked at these sycophants and killed the killer mercilessly.

……

If we say that the summing up of the battlefield is in the stage of establishing rules, and the troops have won another great victory, everyone is in a happy mood, and it is relatively easy to sum up the summing up and be able to implement it.

Well, the next thing is troublesome.

Because I caught Zhang Rumei, the governor of Shandong! From the beginning of the battle plan, Xu Lie had the idea of capturing Zhang Rumei, of course, with the powerful firepower and assault ability of the Mengshan Army, Zhang Rumei would inevitably be captured unless he did not enter the Pig Waist Valley.

But the question is, what to do after catching Zhang Rumei?

From later generations to understand Zhang Rumei, the public information is extremely limited, and even the date of birth and death is unknown, which shows that the influence of Zhang Rumei, who is in a high position, is really limited.

The actual situation is that Zhang Rumei served as the governor of Shandong from 1897 to 1899, and was nearly 60 years old.

It should be said that Zhang Rumei's opinion is objective, but how to make the decision is a matter for the imperial court.

The current problem was lost to Xu Lie, and Zhang Rumei had not yet started to deal with the affairs of the boxers, so she became Xu Lie's prisoner. To tell the truth, no matter who led the team to attack, Xu Lie would encourage the troops to capture prisoners, and would not deliberately chase away or anything, of course, killing in battle is another matter.

The significance of capturing the captives is to convert some of them as much as possible, because Xu Lie especially needs talents. However, Zhang Rumei is difficult to transform, because Yuan Yong and Zhang Rumei actually knew each other as a jinshi, and after Zhang Rumei was caught, Yuan Yong stepped forward to meet Zhang Rumei.

Zhang Rumei's difficulty in transforming was because of his disappointment with the court, and then he had to die for the court. Xu Lie arrested him, and even if he was released, his reputation would be stinky. In this era, for people who have lived for almost sixty years, and are in a high position as governors, Shenma's political ideas have also been implemented, that is to say, after experiencing the years of the sea, life has been thoroughly understood, and there is no special idea. Unlike Yuan Yong, who is in his early forties, he still has a lot of good life.

"If he really wants to die, let him die. But I guess as long as you don't persuade him to surrender, he won't die. Therefore, set him a small courtyard, let one of his original attendants serve him, and arrange some servants for him to raise him. If you have time, you can also go to him to chat and chat, such a person, I can't see it now, maybe he can help you in the future. ”

Indecisiveness in internal affairs asks about reform, this is the idea that Yang came up with in reform. As a result, Xu Lie tried, Zhang Rumei really kept silent, it turned out that he was really afraid that Xu Lie would mobilize him, then he really had to die for the Qing court. Of course, as long as you don't surrender to Xu Lie, even if you survive like this, it's better than dead.

Of course, Zhang Rumei's matter, the reason why it is handled like this, Xu Lie really doesn't want to use his brain, you use punishment or family to threaten a sixty-year-old man, no matter what, it is a stain in history, and a person must always have a bottom line when doing things, Xu Lie's career is an upright career, so it is better to take upright means as much as possible. If your means slip into the darkness, then this person is hopeless.

Then again, this is for your own compatriots, and if you are facing an aggressor, there are only three words: kill without mercy!

In addition to Zhang Rumei, Zhu Yi and some middle and senior officials were also unwilling to surrender, Xu Lie did not use means, but asked his family to buy it with money, of course, this money is not cheap, Zhu Yi is a second-grade official, the price is 10,000 taels of silver, middle and senior commanders, unlike the Shenma garrison, the guerrilla general needs at least 5,000 taels of silver.

When these people go back, they can't actually be officials anymore, but they have a solid family background and can pay for it; As for helping Meng Shanjun do things, from a personal point of view, it may be fine, but what about the family? The family is in Jinan, did Meng Shanjun go to Jinan to pick up his family?

Yes, the Mengshan army will not go to Jinan to pick up their families, because at the moment Xu Lie has no plans to capture Jinan.

As for the grassroots officers and soldiers, as long as they have no vices and are willing to join the Mengshan Army, Xu Lie immediately rushed them to the Baoqishan Training Base and handed them over to Wang Changjiang to sort out. Of course, at the same time, dozens of squad leaders and deputy squad leaders who performed very well in this operation were also dispatched, and they will take up the positions of platoon commander and deputy platoon commander in the next re-expansion of the Mengshan Army.

When all this is arranged, the whole month of June has ended, and it is summer, although Mengshan is cool in the morning and evening, it is also very hot at noon.

The weather is very hot, and the iron-clad troops must go through the training of the three dogs and the training of the three nines, including the captured Qing army, the total strength of the Mengshan army has reached about 10,000 people.

Therefore, the soldiers were still training, and Xu Lie began to cooperate with middle and senior officers, preparing to vigorously expand the army.

Xu Lie's plan was to expand the whole army into a division, that is, a town of Yuan Shikai's Beiyang New Army. The division is directly subordinate to the guard battalion, reconnaissance battalion, and artillery battalion, and the division is organized into three regiments, and each regiment has three battalions directly under the mountain artillery company, reconnaissance company, and guard company.

In his initial thoughts, Xu Lie was not prepared to set up a reconnaissance company in a combat unit, and Xu Lie believed that in a mature unit, any combat unit could take on the heavy task of battlefield reconnaissance.

However, Xu Lie also thought that as the elite troops of the regiment, the guard company and the reconnaissance company can also change the combat situation at critical moments, and in addition, the new formation of the troops, to deal with complex situations, the military commander has direct and useful forces in his hands, and can often make a more active and rapid response.
