When the sky was slightly bright, Liu Gensheng and Shuai Hong finally led their subordinates to return to Zhenlong with large boxes and small boxes.
"Big Brother Liu, the handsome brother is back, hard, hard, how's it going, what's the harvest?"
Just walked to the gate of the temporary headquarters, I didn't expect to run into the adjutant general Huang Fu who walked out of it, in fact, in order to solve the problem of food and salary, Zheng Shiliang chose to follow Yue Weihua's suggestion, and last night, a total of three teams were dispatched, one is the team directly under the deputy general Huang Fu, and the other is the team directly under Zheng Shiliang, these two guys are both born in Huizhou, and there are some forces in the family, it is not difficult to recruit a descendant army, and this kind of task can only be sent to send trustworthy troops, As for Liu Gensheng and Shuai Hong, they were also fortunate to carry out this task last night, it was because of Yue Weihua.
Looking at Huang Fu's blushing face, Liu Gensheng guessed that Huang Fu should have a good harvest, but no matter how good it is, it will definitely not be able to compare with them, the wealth of the Chen family is ranked first in Huizhou Mansion, the only problem is that it is true that the Chen family is not easy to take, when he thinks that so many golden bumps have to be handed over to Zheng Shiliang, Liu Gensheng has that taste in his heart, not to mention how greasy it is, he is so greasy that he doesn't want to take care of Huang Fu.
"It's okay, Vice General Huang, how did you get over there?" Shuai Hong saw that Liu Gensheng was reluctant to speak, so he hurriedly added a sentence.
"Oh?" Huang Fu was stunned for a moment and said, "So, you took down the Chen family?" ā
"Shh Shuai Hong hurriedly whispered: "Vice General Huang, what is the Chen family, not the Chen family, this matter may not be able to be talked about, if it spreads, the reputation of our revolutionary rebel army will be ruined." ā
"Eh, look at my big mouth, the handsome brother reminded me right." Huang Fu patted his forehead, and then said, "Let's go, let's talk inside." ā
After Huang Fu finished speaking, he actually took the lead and returned to the courtyard, and then walked straight inside, obviously, this guy also wanted to hear how Shuai Hong and their harvest were, of course, as a deputy general, Huang Fu has this qualification and right.
"Handsome brother, Big Brother Liu, they are all back safely, hard work, just come back, how is it, is everything going well?"
Zheng Shiliang is in a good mood at the moment, because he and Huang Fu's descendants have successfully completed the task, and the harvest is not bad, which can be regarded as a preliminary alleviation of the food and salary problem, so even if Shuai Hong and Liu Gensheng do not have any gains here, Zheng Shiliang doesn't care, as long as the people are fine.
"Commander Zheng, please take a look."
Shuai Hong took out a list from his arms, which recorded the seizure in detail, Zheng Shiliang originally had no expectations, but since he successfully won the Chen family, then the harvest should not be small, however, although Zheng Shiliang's expectations increased, but when he saw this list, he couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and looked at Shuai Hong and Liu Gensheng with some shock.
"Two of you."
Zheng Shiliang was very emotional, worth hundreds of thousands, each of which was listed in detail, it was obvious that Shuai Hong and Liu Gensheng did not hide their secrets, because if they wanted to hide their secrets, then they didn't need to come back at all, with so much money, it was not difficult to recruit a rebel army by themselves.
"Commander, show me."
Huang Fu couldn't wait to take the list from Zheng Shiliang's hands, and he was stunned after seeing it, and his eyes were a little complicated when he looked at Shuai Hong and Liu Gensheng, it should be said that people have selfish intentions, even if Huang Fu personally led the team to loot another rich family last night, but he also hid fifty percent of the harvest, Zheng Shiliang's subordinates also hid a lot, after all, this is private work, and being able to give half of the credit is good, even if it is good, but Shuai Hong's list is too valuable, if they also hide half of it, Zheng Shiliang and Huang Fu don't believe itAfter all, it is impossible for the Chen family to have so much money.
"Commander Zheng, Vice General Huang, money is something outside the body, you can't bring it in life, you can't take it in death, only if you use him on the blade, can you play its due effect, otherwise, it's just some vulgar things." Shuai Hong said lightly, Liu Gensheng grinned when he heard this, vulgar things, without this vulgar thing, everyone has to drink the northwest wind.
"Haha, that's right."
"That's a good point."
"Come, come, sit down."
ā¦ā¦
The four of them sat there while drinking tea, and they talked about their actions last night, although Zheng Shiliang was not directly involved, but his cronies also talked to him in detail, so they can also say it vividly, of course, the most meaningful chat, of course, it is still Shuai Hong's way, Shuai Hong climbed over the city wall several meters high, attacked and killed the doorman without the slightest sound, and finally easily opened the city gate and introduced the main force, which is a deed worth boasting about, but when he heard Shuai Hong shouting slogans and winning the Chen family's guards against the water, it was even more praised.
"Brother Shuai, it's really a hero, it's rare to be wise and brave, and it's a blessing that the rebel army can be joined by Brother Shuai."
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's just the right time."
Zheng Shiliang did not hesitate to praise him, firstly, Shuai Hong's performance was indeed worthy, and secondly, because of Shuai Hong's true identity, but Huang Fu on the side heard a little cloudy, after all, he didn't know Shuai Hong's identity, he felt that Zheng Shiliang had snubbed Liu Gensheng a little, but when he observed Liu Gensheng, he found that this guy was not unhappy at all, but Liu Gensheng's eyes were full of respect when he looked at Shuai Hong, which made Huang Fu puzzled.
After a few more people praised each other, Zheng Shiliang suddenly changed his words and said: "Now that the rebel army is growing stronger and stronger, but the team seems to be more and more scattered, I am afraid it is not a way to go on like this, so I want to reorganize the troops in Zhenlong, I don't know what you think?" ā
As Yue Weihua said, the situation on Dongying's side will inevitably be confirmed within a few days, in this case, I chose to take a short rest in Zhenlong, first, to wait and see the news, and secondly, I want to use this limited time to reorganize the rebel army, besides, now that the problem of money and food has been solved, Zheng Shiliang also has some confidence, of course, whether the reorganization can be successfully carried out is still unknown, after all, this is related to the self-interests of the party members.
"Reorganization, indeed, is a step that must be taken sooner or later." Deputy General Huang Fu paused, and added: "But now I will mention the reorganization, is it a bit early in time, if I can fight a few more tough battles, and then mention the reorganization, I think the effect should be better." ā
After fighting a few tough battles, firstly, it can enhance everyone's sense of belonging to the rebel army, and after everyone fights side by side, the relationship will be more harmonious, secondly, the time will drag on longer, and it can also let everyone understand more about the meaning of the revolution through missionary education, and thirdly, after a few hard battles, the power of the party will inevitably be greatly weakened, and even a few more gang leaders will be killed, and more free men will be added, so that the reorganization effect will naturally be better.
"I can't wait, now we have no shortage of money and food, weapons and equipment have been replenished a lot, and more weapons and equipment can be purchased at any time, so I think we should not drag it out, but should do it drastically." Zheng Shiliang said bluntly.
"However, those gang leaders, I'm afraid they won't hand over their rights easily." Huang Fu sighed.
Huang Fu's words also made Zheng Shiliang a little helpless, the Hui Party is a double-sided blade, the Hui Party was of great help to the rebel army in the early days of the uprising, and once it grows stronger, the Hui Party may become a cancer of the revolution.
"Handsome brother, I don't know what you think?"
Zheng Shiliang suddenly looked at Shuai Hong and asked, which surprised Huang Fu who was sitting on the side again, and he glanced at Liu Gensheng and Shuai Hong, and found that these two seemed to take it for granted, which made Huang Fu feel that his head was not enough, what was the situation?
"Commander, in fact, I don't think the problem of our revolutionary rebel army will be as serious as you think." Shuai Hong said bluntly.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Commander, according to my estimates, the real members of our rebel army are estimated to account for more than half, less than two-thirds, right?" Shuai Hong asked rhetorically.
"There are about 1,800 members of the Hui Party, and about 1,500 free people, but many of these free people, after joining our rebel army, have been absorbed by various Hui parties, of course, most of them should have formed some small groups with each other, and most of these small groups also have their own leaders." Zheng Shiliang said helplessly.
Shuai Hong nodded, similar to what he expected, but in his heart, he was also very skeptical about Zheng Shiliang's ability to command the army, this is only more than 3,000 people, and it is still a case of consecutive victories, this Zheng Shiliang has not established enough prestige, he is really a little speechless, after thinking about it, he feels that he should not talk to death, after all, he does not know much about the party and the people in the south, so he said: "There must be difficulties, but I think it is better to reorganize as soon as possible, Even the establishment of a formal military establishment in name only is far better than the current state of disorder. ā
"That's right"
"Makes sense."
Shuai Hong said this, even Huang Fu nodded in agreement, no matter what, the framework should indeed be put up, even if it is nominal, at least when we meet, there is no need to open and close your mouth to a certain big guy, and shouting a few more official positions may also increase everyone's sense of belonging.
"Big Brother Liu, what do you think?"
Zheng Shiliang suddenly asked Liu Gensheng, who was sitting here and hadn't spoken, after all, isn't this guy a real leader of the party.
"I also support the reorganization as soon as possible, in fact, now that we have money, as long as the commander makes the salary more generous, and when the reorganization is made, the leaders of the party will also try to seal some suitable military positions, of course, their subordinates, for the time being, do not touch them, but you can combine several small party and congress party, after a long time, if you fight a few more battles, the influence of the party will naturally slowly decrease." Liu Gensheng said.
"Well, in that case, I will immediately notify the leaders of the various associations, as well as the spokesmen of those small groups, to come to the meeting, and the reorganization will begin today."
ā¦ā¦
In fact, as Shuai Hong said, the reorganization is far less difficult than Zheng Shiliang thought, since the Hui Party will join the revolutionary party in the early stage of the uprising, then in addition to money and fame, they also have a deeper level of pursuit, such as glorifying the ancestors, worshipping the marquis and so on.
Of course, this level of pursuit, they usually hide it very deeply, and only after the rebel army has achieved successive victories and let them see that the future is promising, they will trigger these ideas, in addition to this, the reorganization has another temptation for them, that is, to have a legitimate official position.
In China, the people have always been full of expectations for being officials, thinking that it is the glory of the ancestors, and after the reorganization, the rebel army will also be given official positions, although Zheng Shiliang chose the Western-style military system, but those members of the party, especially the leaders, will also use these official positions to compare with the positions of the Qing army.
For example, if the leader of a certain party asks you how big an official the company commander is, how many grades, and then you tell him that the company commander is equivalent to the regular military academy of the Qing army, which is an official of the fifth grade, and he is two grades higher than the county commander, and the leader of the party will definitely laugh and shout that he is glorifying his ancestors, and he will even wake up laughing when he sleeps at night, which is vanity.
Of course, the leaders of the party are all people who have been on the rivers and lakes for many years, and they will accept the official position, and they will still laugh at it if they give some benefits, but if they really want to beat the idea of their brothers, it will be difficult, so as long as this point is avoided, the reorganization will not be too difficult, as Shuai Hong said, even if it is a nominal reorganization, it must be done as soon as possible.
Of course, in order to be a little fair, the high ground of military positions, in addition to people like Shuai Hong, Liu Gensheng and other people who have indeed made great contributions, the awarding of other military positions mainly depends on the number of brothers under their hands, generally there are about 200 people under the hands of the party leader, will be awarded the position of deputy battalion commander, part-time part of the company commander, as for the scale of about 100 people, most of them are given to the company commander, and some small points are awarded the position of deputy company commander, platoon commander and so on.
As for the position of battalion commander, most of the people did not insist on fighting, after all, the largest number of people belonged to the descendants of Zheng Shiliang and Huang Fu, and the other groups had only two or three people at most, with more than two hundred people, and the three associations did not have much performance on the battlefield, and when it came to speaking, they were far less important than Liu Gensheng.
In the end, more than 3,300 rebel troops were reorganized into five battalions, a guard company directly under the headquarters, and an artillery company, of which Zheng Shiliang was the commander, his subordinate Zheng Shize was the commander of the first battalion, Huang Fu was the deputy commander, and his subordinate Huang Xing was the commander of the second battalion, and the commander of the third battalion was Tan Wei, the leader of the party who performed quite well in the previous battles, the commander of the fourth battalion was Liu Gensheng, and the position of the commander of the fifth battalion was given to Shuai Hong, a northern man.
After all, there are only more than 20 people under Shuai Hong, even if he has made great contributions to Zhenlong Town, but most people think that the credit for winning Zhenlong should be mainly credited to Liu Gensheng, as for raising military salaries to take down Chenjiazhai, it is impossible to announce it to the public, so everyone has a lot of opinions on Shuai Hong as the battalion commander.
However, in the end, he was forcibly appointed by Zheng Shiliang, after all, not to mention Shuai Hong's true identity, Shuai Hong's personal ability alone is more qualified than others, of course, whether he can really control the five battalions, it depends on Shuai Hong himself, fortunately, in order to take care of Shuai Hong, Zheng Shiliang will be assigned to the five battalions, most of the soldiers have chosen free people.
"Commander Shuai, transfer your subordinates Li Gen and Zhang Jiahe to the artillery company." After the meeting, Zheng Shiliang found Shuai Hong and went straight to the point.
"Commander, there are only three or two people under my hands, and you will go directly to the two of you when you open your mouth, will it be too ruthless?" Shuai Hong said with a wry smile, the control of the five battalions, he mainly has to rely on Li Gen and the four soldiers from the Black Dragon Army, if he really gets rid of the two, it will be even more difficult to control the five battalions.
"Okay, then let's have one, Li Gen, Zhang Jia and you choose one, and then let him come to me to report."
"Okay."
Shuai Hong is helpless, in fact, Zheng Shiliang is even more helpless, the fifth battalion gave you, and you have to add an artillery company, if you can't really find someone who can open artillery, do you think I am willing, the brand of the Black Dragon Army is so heavy, who knows what it will develop into in the future.
However, this is also a can't be done, you can only take one step at a time.
