Chapter 0032 - Forming an Army
Xiao Yang's case has been widely implicated, affecting thousands of people, and even most of the officials in the county government system have participated in it.
In line with the principle of not holding the public accountable for the law, Li Weiguo only severely punished the culprit Xiao Yang and his gang of dead party in the end, while the other accomplices were given lenient punishment, or confiscated family property, or fined for property, or punished with a cane to set an example.
As for the original public gate personnel, except for Wu Yong, the warden, and Huang Liang, the warden, the other four wardens, all of them were fined for one year and left on duty.
But Li Weiguo didn't dare to completely believe them, at least after the official document sentencing Xiao Yang and others to death came back and cut off Xiao Yang's head, these people had no leader and dared to use them when they couldn't see hope.
At the same time, there were more than 200 people in the original three classes, and Wu Yong and Huang Liang screened out a group of reliable people to stay in the county government, and all the others were dismissed.
After Li Weiguo visited Wu Yong's injury, he learned that most of the county soldiers were Xiao Yang's people, and asked Li Weiguo to be more careful.
It happened that Xiao San'er, the warden of the barracks, was imprisoned, and the warden of the barracks was vacant, so Li Weiguo appointed Zhang Xiaoliu as the warden of the barracks, and incorporated the soldiers of Chongming County, responsible for guarding the city, arresting thieves, patrolling the city, maintaining law and order, and having military power in his hands, Li Weiguo felt safe.
Chongming County is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, belongs to the customs border defense area, according to the Qing law, the county town should be set up with 50 horsemen, 119 infantry guards, 508 infantry soldiers.
After the First Opium War, the coastal forces were adjusted, and the Chongming County Barracks set up 50 horsemen, 150 infantry guards, 300 infantry soldiers, and 500 river patrol sailors, a total of 1,000 people, with one commander and one water and land battalion officer.
But after Xiao San'er served as a warden in the barracks, he had been secretly eating empty salaries, compressing the officers and soldiers of 1,000 people to only about 200 people, most of whom were born as slaves of the Xiao family, and it was okay to bully the common people, and they had no combat power. This is also the real reason why Zhang Xiaoliu and Huang Liang were able to capture Xiao San'er with a hundred guards, otherwise if Xiao San'er had a thousand troops in his hands, I am afraid that it would be Li Weiguo who would suffer now.
Seeing that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was in turmoil, Li Weiguo knew very well the truth of power coming out of the barrel of a gun, and decided to restore all the soldiers and horses in the military room of Chongming County, and if there were not enough people, he would choose a strong and honest person from among the refugees.
Li Weiguo felt that in the troubled times, 1,000 county soldiers were still too few, anyway, there were more than 100,000 victims in Chongming County, among whom there were many young and strong, and the left and right were all cashed for work, so why not take the opportunity to recruit and form a group training?
Of course, the Qing government still does not allow localities to form regimental exercises without permission, otherwise it will be tantamount to rebellion. Only when the Taiping Army succeeded in breaking through the siege in Yong'an, Wuhan fell, the 100,000 Qing army was destroyed, the Taiping Army was like a broken bamboo, and the Qing government was unable to suppress the bandits, would the localities be allowed to form regiments on their own to practice and protect themselves.
However, Li Weiguo is not afraid, since he knows that this historical moment is coming, he will naturally not wait. Although the Qing government does not allow the formation of regimental training now, there are policies and countermeasures, and Li Weiguo only needs to change it.
Therefore, Li Weiguo ordered Zhang Xiaoliu to recruit another 3,000 young and strong people, so that they could be trained together with 1,000 county soldiers, and implement militarized management of them. If the imperial court asked, it said that the county officials were too few to manage the hundreds of thousands of victims in Chongming County, and in order to prevent civil unrest, they had to set up a disaster relief team, which not only assisted the county government to maintain law and order, but also participated in the post-disaster reconstruction work, and disbanded itself when the disaster situation stabilized.
Of course, it would be best if the imperial court didn't ask.
During natural disasters, recruiting is the easiest thing to do.
The common people of Chongming County heard that the county government had recruited 1,000 soldiers, and they rushed to participate in the registration, and there were tens of thousands of people, Zhang Xiaoliu followed the method given to him by Li Weiguo, and first selected young and strong people, who had no hidden diseases, disabilities, and most importantly, people who did not smoke big cigarettes.
After a simple "physical examination", more than 10,000 people remained, and then these people were asked to run in circles around the county seat, and the 4,000 strong people who persevered in the end were selected.
Among them, the first 3,000 were assigned to the disaster relief security team, and the last 1,000 were assigned to the county soldiers.
Although the victims didn't understand what the disaster relief security team did, who made Li Weiguo have the highest prestige in their hearts, as long as Li Weiguo needed it, these people were willing to participate.
In less than half a day, 1,000 county soldiers and 3,000 "security soldiers" were recruited and taken to the barracks for unified training.
Those who were not selected shook their heads and sighed, but they were not disappointed, because Li Weiguo also gave them job opportunities, and they still used work for relief to form a post-disaster home reconstruction team, regardless of men, women, old and young, as long as they had the strength to work.
In the barracks, Li Weiguo personally compiled the training regulations, including the training regulations and military regulations and discipline of the modern army, of course, not all of the modern people's set is suitable for the Qing Dynasty soldiers, for example, the modern soldiers have good food and medical conditions, so they can train with high intensity and are not afraid of injury. But the Qing Dynasty soldiers are different, their food standards are low, the medical conditions are extremely poor, if according to the high-intensity training of modern soldiers, not only can not keep up with the physical fitness is easy to self-harm, and once injured, it is easy to be fatal or lifelong disability because the medical conditions are too poor or the treatment is not timely.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Weiguo selected some suitable training subjects in a targeted manner and lowered the intensity of training, so as to compile a training program suitable for Qing Dynasty soldiers.
In terms of military regulations and military discipline, Li Weiguo will not copy modern military regulations and military discipline, because military regulations and military discipline are formulated in accordance with the environment of the times and the needs of the development of the times.
Of course, the basic military rules and discipline are eternal and unchanging, and Li Weiguo directly copied the PLA's three major disciplines and eight points of attention.
You must know that the three major disciplines and eight points of attention played a vital role in the Eighth Route Army's victory in the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the victory in the War of Liberation, and Li Weiguo implemented it as a military discipline and discipline, and he believed that in the near future, he would also have a strong army with a good work style and the courage to fight.
After handing over the training regulations and military discipline to Zhang Xiaoliu, Li Weiguo adjusted his 100 guards.
There is a way for a person to ascend to heaven, Li Weiguo is not exempt from vulgarity, and the hundred personal guards who followed him also became veterans at this time, and were appointed officers at all levels, controlled the entire army, acted as instructors, and began recruit training.
In this way, Li Weiguo easily controlled this army of 4,000 people as the capital and guarantee for his start.
The next day, the heads of the four families of Su, Zhou, Zan and Yan came to see Li Weiguo.
Li Weiguo knew that it was time for him to make good on his previous promise.
