Chapter 183 Wehrmacht
While everyone agreed, they looked at Hu Lin dryly, how could they not understand that they cared about something else. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info everything you have to do is cooperate with you, but then what they think, how do you do it.
How could Hu Lin not understand, took the tea and moistened his throat, swept the eyes of everyone, and turned his head to look at Li Hongzhang. "Lord Li, the newly trained new army of the imperial court is not successful, it seems that there is no feeling for the foreigners, and there are many people who run away, and it is only a few battalions led by Nie Shicheng of your Huai Army."
"Heh, don't you make fun of my old man, don't you actually want to say that your Pingshan Army is powerful, and other officers and soldiers are useless."
Li Hongzhang didn't look very happy on his face, this is obviously praising people, or hitting people. Li Hongzhang is an old man, and he immediately found a way to fight back against Hu Lin.
When he was fighting back, he also looked at Liu Kunyi, meaning something.
Liu Kun, who was originally playing haha on the side, waited for Hu Lin to talk to Li Hongzhang first, but it seemed to be on himself, and Li Hongzhang directly transferred the meaning of Hu Lin's words to the Hunan army under his control.
His purpose is not to participate, not to be exposed, and he has no strong strength, and being turned down by Li Hongzhang like this is really about himself.
Liu Kun lowered his face, "Master Li, let's talk to General Hu Lin well, just listen to the old man on the side, don't keep changing the topic." ”
"Haha, don't mind, Mr. Liu, what about me, boy, I'm talking about the green camp of the imperial court, and our departments still have strengths if they have shortcomings. Lord Li, in your opinion, how to reorganize the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, the foreigners just now, the smell of gunpowder is still there. ”
When Hu Lin saw Liu Kunyi's reaction, he knew that he was a neutral person, so he didn't pull him in, for fear that it would not be easy to joke. The purpose of the re-entry is to understand the meaning of Li Hongzhang in terms of the army.
After all, he has the biggest impression, and he is scheming, and he can get some direction from him, which can also be used as a reference.
Needless to say, Li Tie, the military minister of Pingshan, and others who were sitting there, are new soldiers. Although Hu Lin used modern resources to pull out seedlings and control the powerful Pingshan Army, in terms of the overall situation, no one in the Pingshan Army could compare to Li Hongzhang.
This is also why Hu Lin did not let the generals of the Pingshan Army say more, at this time, more flank forces are needed to effectively control more troops and offset the balance of forces of other camps.
Li Hongzhang didn't play anymore, but fiddled with the teacup and pondered, and Liu Kunyi on the side was also thinking. Maybe it's about how to make a decision and consider what is good for you.
The two giants present have their own hearts, but the Qing court is not the Qing court in the previous situation, with Hu Lin inserted like this, they can't stand on their own, otherwise with the strength of the Pingshan army, they will soon be able to give him as a gift to the people of the world.
"My Huai army is good, but it was broken up more powerfully, the old man intends to reorganize the Huai army, but I don't know how Lord Hu accepts the old man's wishes. The old man understands that this army will not be controlled by the old man, and the command is still in your hands. ”
Li Hongzhang still has some attachment to his hard work and wants to help it up. Hu Lin naturally knew, but he just nodded to indicate that he knew, and it was undeniable.
Chen Fenglou, the commander of the Ming Army, who also commanded part of the Huai Army, heard Li Hongzhang's direct mention of the construction of the Huai Army, his eyes lit up, and he stared at Hu Lin deadly, and the other people in Li Hongzhang's family were also like this.
Liu Kunyi on the side also looked at Hu Lin's reaction with a sideways face, if there was a Huai army, then part of the Hunan army under his control would not be excluded. Although through Li Hongzhang, he will cooperate with Hu Lin in the future.
Strictly speaking, it is a group dominated by Hu Lin, but the stronger the power in the hands, the better, no one is willing to give away the power in their hands directly, and the group of new components must have their own right to speak.
Hu Lin did not reply to Li Hongzhang, wanting to hear what Liu Kunyi meant. "Master Liu, what do you think?"
"Haha, the old man is old, but he doesn't have any opinions. However, the strength of our Hunan army is not as good as that of the Huai army, if possible, please ask the Hulin people to take care of one or two, so as to leave some capital for the sons and daughters to live in peace. ”
Although Liu Kunyi did not clearly say how to subsidize the Hunan army, the meaning is already very clear, if the Huai army is supported, then his Hunan army cannot be excluded, and it also shows that the strength of the Hunan army is not as good as the Huai army, and he wants to tilt more resources.
These two armies were the main ones present, and the officials present also controlled part of the imperial army. However, these small numbers of officers and soldiers are not very eye-catching.
Not only is there no comparison with the Pingshan Army in terms of numbers, but they are even more incomparable in quality, but they do occupy a part of the imperial army.
This is also one of the factors that Cixi was afraid of Hu Lin, but very decisively accepted Hu Lin's conditions, who let her know that Li Hongzhang fell to Hu Lin, so that most of the people in the court followed Hu Lin, even if it was a tough confrontation, it would not end well.
It's just that she still doesn't understand, Cixi can't understand how Hu Lin persuaded Li Hongzhang, but she also guesses that Li Hongzhang was thoroughly understood by Hu Lin. On the basis of knowing Hu Lin's strength, the shock of being as shocked as herself is indispensable, and it seems inevitable to compromise and stand in line.
There are also some of Zhang Zhidong's Hunan troops in Huguang, but he didn't come in time, so it is not his opinion for the time being. Zuo Zhongtang's Chu army is in the Zhejiang area, and he doesn't care about him for the time being, as well as other armies and eight banners of the imperial court, which are even more useless.
What Hu Lin wanted was a new army, not a new army that Li Hongzhang had organized and trained after the First Sino-Japanese War, but an army of the same quality as the Pingshan Army, so that it could play the role of an army.
"The two adults are here, and there are some other adults who are not, so I will discuss it with the two adults first. My intention is to create a real new army, not a new army that can be seen in the past. It is true that training with foreigners can achieve results, but there is still a big gap with our Pingshan Army, and you adults also know this. ”
Hu Lin said, looking at the officials under the hall, and there was a burst of agreement. Just kidding, your Pingshan army has beaten the foreigners away, who dares to say that your Pingshan army is poor.
Even if the weapons are a little special, this army of tens of thousands of people has still seen it, and the momentum is not comparable to the new army of the imperial court.
After getting an affirmative expression, continue. "This time, the new army was reorganized and trained, including the Pingshan Army and the Huai Army and the Hunan Army of the two adults, and then the imperial army to which other adults belonged, and qualified officers and soldiers were selected to form an independent system. In the name of the Imperial Defense Army, all the newly transferred and recruited ones were mixed together to form five armies, and the Xiapingshan Army, the Huai Army and the Hunan Army were established first, and the other two establishments were discussed later. The special divisions of the Pingshan Army were formed into an independent army and were subordinate to the first level. ”
After roughly speaking, Hu Lin looked at Li Hongzhang and Liu Kunyi, and looked at the reactions of the two, Hu Lin didn't want to annex them directly, but he also had to have a fusion, so that he could play the final subordination.
At the same time, they retained their system, and I believe the two of them also understand the truth. They also have control over a portion of the Wehrmacht's military strength. But this is mainly controlled by Hu Lin.
The two of them squinted at Hu Lin, their minds thinking as fast as they could. Hu Lin said earlier that the quality of the Pingshan Army is superior, so the training method must not be left or right with the Pingshan Army, although Hu Lin did not say how to distribute the treatment of each department here, which is equivalent to directly saying that the treatment and equipment are also the same?
After all, after the disruption, the soldiers of the Pingshan Army existed in every unit, and their officers and soldiers were also in every unit of the so-called Wehrmacht.
Li Hongzhang knew this matter best, and when he compromised Hu Lin at the beginning, he was guaranteed that he would treat everyone equally, so that the establishment of the Huai Army was preserved, and the remnants of the Huai Army could be developed, and Li Hongzhang's influence also increased dramatically after that.
