Zhou Lichun broke away from the Tiandihui rebel army, and left the Tiandihui rebel army alone with more than 1,000 elites, as for Xu Yao continued to flee south with the Tiandihui rebel army, but he was chased by Yiliang with the Qing army behind his buttocks, and Yiliang made it clear that he wanted to take the initiative to annihilate this Tiandihui rebel army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although these rebels seem to have an absolute advantage in numbers, in fact they are absolutely inferior in battle. The rebel army of the Heaven and Earth Society was being chased, and people kept fleeing, and deserters appeared almost every day.

However, this has nothing to do with Zhou Lichun, Zhou Lichun lay on a stretcher, and after more than ten days of turbulence, he returned to the Shanghai concession. Of course, this is also because the Manchu officials in the Shanghai area have not yet had time to take over, and do not dare to stop the troops of more than 1,000 people. In addition, there were some foreigners who went to pick them up, so they didn't dare to come.

"Father-in-law?" Chen Dingtian asked.

Chen Dingtian saw that Zhou Lichun's right leg had been completely crushed and fractured, and with the medical conditions of this era, he would be completely disabled and unable to recover. In this way, Chen Dingtian also felt that this Zhou Lichun was a little pitiful, as a person who had fought all his life in the rivers and lakes, he was actually disabled, which was a great blow.

"Virtuous son-in-law, I regret not listening to you, so I ended up today!" Zhou Lichun said with a wry smile.

Zhou Xiuying also hurriedly replied: "Husband, we were driven out, Xu Yao rebelled and seized the position of the chief helmsman, but fortunately, I remember your words, I left the musket team, the law enforcement team and the infantry regiment behind, which can be regarded as preserving our essence." ”

"Great, the essence has been preserved, and that can be regarded as the hope for the future can be saved!" Chen Dingtian said.

"Virtuous son-in-law, is there any hope for the future?" Zhou Lichun hurriedly asked.

"Yes, and!" Chen Dingtian said.

Chen Dingtian saw that Zhou Lichun was disabled, and he knew that Zhou Lichun had experienced such a big lesson this time, so it could be said that he would wake up completely. There is no problem in accepting Chen Dingtian's opinion this time, but what Chen Dingtian wants to do now is to help Zhou Xiuying reorganize this Tiandihui rebel army, especially to regularize this Tiandihui rebel army, so that the Tiandihui rebel army can get rid of the past habits of the rivers and lakes and not be affected by the past style of the rivers and lakes.

"Father-in-law, Xiuying, in fact, I have been preparing for a long time. Long before you went on the expedition, I had the British bring back our cadets who were studying the army in England. Although we didn't really finish our studies, we did learn a rough idea. Then I went to the battlefield to find out, and I also got the support of the Germans, who were willing to give us 5,000 rifles. These rifles are rifles with long range and high accuracy, as you should all know. ”

"Even if you brought back the musket team and the law enforcement infantry regiment, it can be regarded as laying the foundation for the future reorganization of the army." Chen Dingtian said.

Chen Dingtian then hurriedly took Zhou Lichun and Zhou Xiuying to check the students who had returned from the UK, as well as the rifles that had just been sent, these were very important things. Zhou Lichun saw that Chen Dingtian was actually prepared, which made Zhou Lichun immediately a little dissatisfied.

"Son-in-law, since you already knew that we were going to fail, why didn't you say it earlier?" Zhou Lichun asked.

"Father-in-law, could you listen at that time?" Chen Dingtian asked rhetorically.

Zhou Xiuying also helped Chen Dingtian and said: "Dad, you couldn't listen to anyone at that time, you were very ...... Extraordinary...... Stubborn as a mule. ”

Zhou Lichun was speechless, as if he was like this at the time, but it was too late to say anything now. It's completely late, and it's useless to say anything.

However, Zhou Lichun knew that at this time, he could consider solving the reorganization of the Tiandihui rebel army, especially this one, which must be reorganized as soon as possible, so that they can recover their combat effectiveness as soon as possible, or even higher combat effectiveness.

"Father-in-law, we must reorganize, and this Heaven and Earth Society rebel army must be reorganized." Chen Dingtian said.

Zhou Lichun nodded and said, "I agree, leave everything to the virtuous son-in-law!" ”

Chen Dingtian continued: "Father-in-law, look at your situation, you should not go to the battlefield. How about leaving everything to so-young? You will also take care of your days and live a good life. ”

Zhou Lichun looked at his disabled right leg, sighed and said, "I will hand it over to Xiuying in the future, I don't have a son in my life, so I can only count on you." If I could live to see the expulsion of the Tartars, then I would be blind to death! ”

Zhou Lichun knew that there was no way to give the inheritance to Zhou Xiuying, even if he took a concubine, but now one of his concubines is not pregnant. Even those concubines were still in the Heaven and Earth Society rebel army at that time, and it is not clear what the situation is now. What's more, Zhou Lichun can't give birth to a son now, and it will take at least ten years to give birth to a son. Zhou Lichun no longer has the time to teach his son, so he can only hand over the inheritance to his daughter.

There is no way to do this, but fortunately, my daughter is also good, and there is a powerful son-in-law to help, which is not impossible. Now that I think about it, my son-in-law was right, and if I had followed my son-in-law's advice at that time, it might have been better.

Chen Dingtian took out an establishment chart, which was carried out by Chen Dingtian according to the current needs, especially the current situation of the Tiandihui rebel army, and he and those other foreign staff officers worked together to compile the army establishment plan. Such a plan is to regularize the rebel army of this Heaven and Earth Society, so that it can be effectively organized.

"Father-in-law, I intend to temporarily divide this 1,200 men into two battalions of infantry regiments. While one of the battalions was responsible for fighting with muskets, the other continued to use cold weapons for the time being. Chen Dingtian said.

Zhou Lichun asked: "Why don't you use all firearms?" ”

"Well, we can't train so much in a short period of time. Only a few hundred people can be concentrated on training. Although we have a lot of rifles, we don't have that much time, we just have to get into the army as soon as possible. And my plan for the future is that we use a war of movement, and we are not well armed. Although we currently have a lot of weapons, they are all purchased from foreigners, and they are definitely insufficient. It is better for us to adopt sports warfare, and the method of sports warfare can be a good way to exploit our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. Chen Dingtian replied.

After Zhou Lichun intercepted the "original" work "Sports Warfare" that Chen Dingtian intercepted everywhere from the articles of the founding ancestor of New China, he was immediately shocked by the thinking of this sports warfare. In particular, Zhou Lichun quickly realized that this sports battle was actually very suitable for this situation. Zhou Lichun also had experience of fighting with the Qing army before, and in terms of positional warfare, those Heaven and Earth would rebel against Jin, who was definitely not the opponent of the Qing army.

However, this movement war greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, and the heavy weapons of the Qing army, such as red-coated cannons and the like, could not play a role at all. Although those Heaven and Earth Society rebel armies were relatively backward and scarce in weaponry, they also had their own advantages. That is, it is light, the baggage is very small, and the marching speed is fast.

Of course, coupled with the terrain of Suxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, it is easy to find suitable terrain here to ambush the Qing army. As long as it is necessary, it is completely possible to separate and disconnect the enemy's various units in the course of the movement, so as to concentrate the forces relatively and form an absolute superiority in the local forces, and eat them step by step.

This kind of mobile warfare consists in striking at the enemy's living forces, reducing the number of enemy soldiers by annihilating or capturing them.

"Father-in-law, this is a plan I made for the situation of the Heaven and Earth Society's rebel army. The plan is a war of movement, the annihilation of the enemy in motion. The main thing is to destroy the enemy, not to occupy the city. Although the Qing army is more elite than the Tiandihui rebel army, we can make good use of mobile warfare to divide the enemy's different forces, and then form a local superiority in strength, which will help us to annihilate them. ”

"Once the enemy's superiority in weapons and relative numbers cannot be brought into play, then the victory will be ours."

Zhou Lichun was fine after seeing it, because he was originally a gangster, but in fact, gangster fights are also a bit "similar" to sports warfare. Of course, this is just a similarity in thinking, and the specific process is definitely different. In the process of running, they use their familiarity with the street situation, familiarity with Zhou Wei's block, and use the street advantage to ambush everywhere, so that they can often hit the enemy by surprise.

However, this sports war is also somewhat "similar", but it is just to enlarge the scale of this gangster fight, and change the weapons from some knives to firearms and regular army weapons. Although the specific command methods and combat methods are different, Zhou Lichun understands the way of thinking.

"Hey, if I had listened to you earlier, how could I be today?" Zhou Lichun smiled bitterly again.

Chen Dingtian knows very well that this sports war is an important magic weapon to reverse his disadvantage, and it can often play a miraculous effect when he is at a disadvantage. Use movement warfare when your side is at a disadvantage, run more and avoid the enemy's weapon advantage. Avoid direct face-to-face battles with the enemy, and take advantage of your familiarity with the terrain and your ability to run to disconnect the enemy. When the enemy is tired of running and the various units are disjointed, they can take the opportunity to turn around and form a certain local superiority in strength, strike hard at the enemy, and eat part of them.

As long as it is repeated a few times, the main focus is on killing and injuring the enemy's living forces, not on occupying territory. If most of the enemy's living force is annihilated, then the enemy's city can be eaten at any time. This is also the truth that people are lost in the land, and both people and the land are lost. If there is no one, then even if you have a territory, you will have no one to guard it, after all, the territory still needs to be guarded, not the computer automatically guards the city.

"Okay, okay, in that case, it's better for you to come here. I don't care anymore, you and Xiuying will be in charge! Zhou Lichun said.

Zhou Lichun knew that he couldn't take care of things, so he could only live a stable life here and take care of his life. The rest of the matter was also handed over to Chen Dingtian and Zhou Xiuying, and let them take charge of this matter.

Chen Dingtian began to divide into two battalions according to the establishment of those Westerners combined with the current Tiandihui rebel army. The first battalion used firearms and the second battalion used cold weapons. The first battalion of 500 men fought with firearms, and many people were drawn from those officer cadets to serve as officers in this first battalion. The second battalion used cold weapons and was responsible for pursuing the enemy and covering firearms units. And in the event of an ambush, you can do some civil work.

"Establish a guard reconnaissance company, which will be formed as part of the original law enforcement team. The original law enforcement team was split, with one part forming a guard reconnaissance company and the other part forming the Military Law Section with a military police platoon. ”

"As for the other regular armies, we have also adopted Western methods, but they can be translated in conjunction with our Chinese traditions. Among them, combined with our current situation in China, we can adopt the formation method of the town's association standard camp flood drainage shed from high to low. ”

The town is equivalent to the division, the name of the town comes from the general army, and the area responsible for the general army in the Ming and Qing dynasties is called the town. And the association comes from the deputy general, and the deputy general is called the association. The standard originated from the Qing Dynasty commander's personal army, and generally several battalions would call it the standard of a certain official. The battalion does not need to be changed, because a battalion in the Qing Dynasty is about 500 people, while the infantry battalion in the West is about 500 people, so there is no need to change the name. As for the Xun is Lian, there were more than 100 to 200 people in a Xun in the Qing Dynasty, which was probably a company. The rows below are carried out according to the respective subordinate structures, one row is a row of soldiers, and one row is the soldiers sleeping in one shed.

Chen Dingtian followed this method of formation in order to combine it with the actual situation in the locality. Westerners can't copy things directly, but at present, it is the Qing Dynasty, and those divisions and brigades are actually too unfamiliar with these Qing Dynasty people. The division and brigade came from the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, and the regiment came from the Tang Dynasty, so they were too unfamiliar with these ancient people, especially these people with a relatively low level of education.

Therefore, simply combine the name of the Qing Dynasty's army establishment, and then imitate the practice of Ali's Beiyang Army to a certain extent, and use China's current establishment to change the name, so that the Qing Dynasty people can accept it more easily.

These names are familiar, and they are also beneficial for expanding the army in the future, and they are also of great benefit to the rapid formation of this army.

"Using the familiar name of the Qing army, it can be of great help when we pull people from those prisoners of the Qing army to join in the future, so that they can familiarize themselves with the team as soon as possible, and they don't need to re-understand and learn directly, which will be of great help to us." Chen Dingtian said.
