As for the 72 mountain artillery pieces of a division, Xu Lie was speechless when he saw it, in the face of such super firepower, not to mention the armies of Nie Shicheng, Yuan Shikai and others, even if it was the great powers, it was impossible to get the slightest benefit.

In Xu Lie's feelings, the troops directly under the Mengshan Army Headquarters can now be set at the brigade level, and after that, when there is an establishment at the army level, the troops directly under the army can also use the brigade level.

The three brigades directly under the command are the artillery brigade, the teaching brigade, and the guard brigade. The original reconnaissance regiment was expanded and reorganized into a teaching brigade, and the headquarters will no longer have a reconnaissance unit thereafter.

The artillery brigade, with a total number of 4,500 people, has 2 artillery regiments, each of which has 36 105 howitzers. Yes, the artillery brigade is no longer armed with 75-mm mountain guns, but with 105-mm howitzers.

This caliber howitzer, Yang Reform just found the M2 105 mm howitzer produced by Mississippi in the seventies of the twentieth century for an African country, this howitzer was born in 1940, and by the seventies of the 20th century, it was already very backward.

The teaching brigade and the guard brigade can be exactly the same, respectively, a brigade headquarters of 120 people, plus two standard regiments, each with a number of 7304.

The difference lies in the internal structure and equipment.

The teaching brigade is completely in accordance with the standard configuration of field troops, and all regimental heavy artillery is available; The Guards Brigade abolished the 75-mm mountain artillery and the 105 mortar heavy artillery, and even if it was a heavy machine gun, each regiment had a heavy machine gun company, which was mainly used to protect the fortress of the chief and was used for defensive operations, not offensive operations.

In terms of function, the teaching brigade is not only a sharp knife and a model for the whole army, but also a cradle for training military cadres. The function of the guard brigade is relatively simple, that is, to ensure the safety of the headquarters and the main leaders.

According to the above series of preparations, the Mengshan Army will have about 8,400 people in the combat unit series alone. Obviously, the Mengshan army does not have so many people including prisoners at present.

However, Xu Lie had a way, he first set up the shelves of each unit, and each division first set up 1-2 intact field battalions, each battalion had 839 people, which was absolutely no problem. Then, it was up to these people to "expand their territory" and quickly occupy the surrounding areas.

This surrounding area refers to the area west of Mengyin Qingtuo Gorge, the area south of Laiwuyang River, the whole territory of Yiyuan, Yishui, Yinan and Juxian in the east, and until the Rizhao Port of the original time and space.

Since the absolute main force of the Qing army was defeated by the Mengshan army, Xu Lie's action to expand the territory was very smooth, and most of the counties and counties symbolically resisted a few shots, and then opened the city gate to welcome the Mengshan army.

The total time spent on the military occupation of these areas was only one week.

It was indeed an "occupation", because the resistance of several county towns was too weak. In a county town, there is a green battalion, with a few hundred people at most and a hundred and ten people at the least, who still has the courage to resist in the face of the Mengshan army, which has taken down the 100,000 army of the imperial court in just one week.

However, as the saying goes, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to sit on the country. If he had only occupied these places, Xu Lie would have occupied the above places a long time ago, not until now.

The reason why he waited for about half a year was because Xu Lie lacked administrative talents, and some of Mengyin's practices at that time also needed to be observed and summarized.

In the original time and space, even the Dragon Kingdom had relatively mature experience in how to govern society. Xu Lie can now obtain the intellectual support of the original time and space at any time, so naturally he can't set up a grass platform team at the beginning, let alone make serious mistakes when governing the place.

It turned out that there was only one county, Mengyin, because Xu Lie was in Mengyin at any time, and many things were also discussed, and local governance was not so important; However, the governance of the place from the previous Mengyin line, suddenly expanded to Laiwu, Xintai, Yiyuan, Yishui, Yinan, Juxian, Mengyin seven counties, and then in the original way, it is definitely not possible. And these seven counties also made the population that Xu Lie previously governed expand from 200,000 to 1.5 million at once.

Therefore, before Xu Lie decided to occupy these places, he had to prepare his own government system, or something called a civil system.

In this era, the imperial court still adopted a six-ministry system in terms of civil governance, including the Ministry of Divine Horse Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials.

In fact, the full name of this prime minister's yamen is "Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen", which is called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to put it bluntly, and the "Foreign Affairs Committee" is at most called the "Foreign Affairs Committee".

When it comes to local governance, it can be roughly divided into three major parts.

One is construction, and Shenma industry, commerce, mining, transportation, cities, etc., can all be attributed to this piece;

One is people's livelihood, Shenma education, health, culture, sports, people's livelihood, household registration, public security, etc., which can be attributed to this piece;

The other is finance and taxation, because the premise and foundation of the first two pieces of this piece are particularly important. Specifically, the so-called finance and taxation are earned by construction and spent by the people's livelihood, but finance and taxation are different from construction and people's livelihood.

There is another part of government affairs, which is composed of supervision, procuratorate, court and other systems, this piece, Xu Lie has not thought about how to set it up yet, but it is very likely to be independent of the government affairs system.

As a result, in the setting of Xu Lie's county-level policies, the position of the chief executive was set up as one political and two deputies, and at the same time, a secretary general was set up, who occasionally acted as the county magistrate, and had the functions of coordination and convening.

At present, the seven counties occupied by Xu Lie also need to be unified administratively, and Xu Lie gained experience from the original time and space, and directly named it "Yimeng District".

The director of the special zone was Yang Shu, the former magistrate of Mengyin County, and in this position, Xu Lie also asked Yuan Yong, the earliest county governor of Mengyin, but Yuan Yong still decided to continue his chief of staff and was unwilling to transfer to government affairs.

Of the previous 7 magistrates, three of them resolutely refused to join Xu Lie's Yimeng District, and three of them agreed shyly, only one of them was very active, this person's name is He Wen, who was also born in Jinshi, is it possible that this guy is only 37 years old, so Xu Lie promoted him to the position of deputy director of the Special Administrative Region in one fell swoop; Another deputy director, Li Xi, was a well-known educator in Yimeng and a former prefect-level official, so it seems that it is just right to be invited to manage the people's livelihood in Yimeng District.

In fact, in the late Qing Dynasty, there were not many officials who were unwilling to do so, they generally had the title of Jinshi, the culture was not said, the ability, of course, had to be seen separately, some people were really limited in ability, and the other part was a victim of the officialdom struggle, and this kind of people who were not suitable for the old officialdom were precisely the backbone of the new officialdom.
