Chapter 32: Training the New Army

Zhang Feng can be described as a double happiness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Originally, 400,000 shares were expected to be issued in three days, but they were all snatched up by everyone in less than two days, and there were still some people who had not bought the shares, clamoring to buy the stocks.

In addition, the appointment document of the regimental training chief soldier was finally official, Zhang Feng had already obtained it, and the document was stamped with a bright red seal, Zhang Feng happily read it several times, and then carefully put it away.

Gao Dianzhu didn't understand a little, a regiment training general soldier, what was the joy of this, handed over the documents to Zhang Feng, saw Zhang Feng read and looked, so happy, Gao Dianzhu thought that Zhang Feng didn't know the gold content of the regimental training general soldier, and couldn't help but remind kindly.

"Boss Zhang, this regiment is the chief soldier, there will be no food and salary from above, and even weapons and armor will not be allocated, but once there is a war and you need to go to the battlefield, you still need to obey the dispatch from above."

The meaning of the high hall pillar is obvious, this is completely a thankless task, not only will it not get any support from above, but it must also obey the dispatch, and if it is not done well, it will be used as cannon fodder. ”

However, Zhang Feng's plans are different from others, Zhang Feng didn't hope that he could give him food, and Zhang Feng didn't need weapons and equipment.

Zhang Feng only needs this title, he pays for it himself, recruits soldiers by himself, and the weapon is a hot weapon, and the armor is naturally not used.

Zhang Feng said: "Lord Gao, thank you this time, this is a little meaning." ”

Gao Dianzhu made a lot of efforts to train the general soldiers in this regiment, and Zhang Feng naturally wanted to thank him, and he shot a thousand taels of silver tickets.

Seeing the denomination of the silver ticket, Gao Dianzhu was very moved, but he still shirked it, and finally reluctantly accepted it, after receiving the silver ticket, Gao Dianzhu was a lot more enthusiastic, and chatted with Zhang Feng for a long time.

………

The more than 100 acres of vacant land next to the Dongfang Textile Factory were also walled, which was Zhang Feng's second factory, the Dongfang Soap Factory.

Not only was the fence erected for the first time, but the foundations of the factories were also excavated and constructed, and the construction style of the entire factory area was basically the same as that of the Oriental Textile Factory. The factory road is straight and wide, the brick structure of the workshop, and the smooth drainage facilities.

If there is cement, the construction of the factory will be more beautiful, at least the road in the factory will be a cement avenue, and the plant can be built larger.

However, at present, Zhang Feng is already quite satisfied, at least this is the largest factory in the Ming Dynasty, the most magnificent factory.

During this period of time, Zhang Feng was very busy, if it weren't for Yang Shenghai, Xu Liangyi, Zhao Zuolin, Wang Chaoyong and others, Zhang Feng would probably be very busy.

In addition to the soap factory under construction, the construction of the barracks is also in full swing, and not far from the barracks, two or three miles away, another large factory is under construction.

This is an arsenal, located in the blacksmith house of the Oriental Textile Factory, the layout of the carpenter's house is too small to keep up with the needs, and the construction of an arsenal is imminent.

Fortunately, Zhang Feng has money in his hands, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in his hands, even if the stall is a little bigger, he can keep up with the funds, but he is very busy.

No, Zhang Feng is checking on the spot with Zhao Zuolin, the site is located to build an arsenal, this land has been bought by Zhang Feng, the land leveling is underway, and construction will start soon.

Zhao Zuolin was the happiest, a few months ago, Zhao Zuolin was just the owner of a blacksmith shop, and now he has been appointed by Zhang Feng as the head of the arsenal.

According to Zhang Feng's plan, this arsenal will have a scale of more than 1,000 people, and can produce two or three hundred muskets per month, in addition to paper shells, grenades, and small artillery.

The small artillery Zhao Zuolin knows, but what a grenade is, Zhao Zuolin doesn't know, but he knows that this must be a great thing.

"Lao Zhao, you watch here, I'll go to Wang Chaoyong to take a look."

Two or three miles away is the huge barracks, standing here you can see the high wall of the barracks, Zhang Feng explained a few words to Zhao Zuolin, and then walked to the barracks in the distance.

The huge training ground is the size of a football field and a half, and there will be several such large training grounds, the first training ground has been completed, and Wang Chaoyong is personally leading the team in daily training.

There are more than 200 members of the security team, except for one or twenty people who go to the Dongfang Textile Factory every day to patrol the factory, and the rest are all trained here.

The training methods were all carried out in accordance with Zhang Feng's requirements, a bit like the training of the army in later generations, there were queue training such as standing upright, taking a break, and walking in unison, as well as physical training, in addition, combat training was also added, and shooting training was added half a month ago.

There are already 30 or 40 flintlock muskets installed in the security team, and they are still being installed at a rate of two or three per day, and it is precisely because the production and manufacturing speed of muskets is too slow that Zhang Feng is ready to build an arsenal.

Wang Chaoyong, who was leading the team to train, saw Zhang Feng coming, and immediately trotted all the way over, standing upright, resting, saluting, standard movements, decent, if he put on a set of military uniforms, he looked like a modern soldier.

"Report to the Chief Soldier, the security team is conducting daily training, please instruct!"

Zhang Feng looked at the neat team with satisfaction, felt everyone's spirit, couldn't help but nod slightly, and said loudly: "Suspend training, I have something to say to you." ”

"Yes! Pause your training! ”

Wang Chaoyong's voice was very loud, and as soon as the words fell, a standard turned back, and then trotted all the way to everyone, commanding the team to stand, more than a hundred security guards, standing in several rows, neatly.

Zhang Feng walked in front of everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone has worked hard, today, I have something to say to you, everyone knows that I am now the chief soldier of the Songjiang Prefecture regiment training, and from today on, everyone is a soldier under me." ”

"That's right! You are a soldier, no longer a security guard, everyone's task in the future is to train, train and then train, form combat effectiveness, in addition, I also plan to recruit, when the recruits are in place, you are veterans, and you will also take on the task of training recruits. ”

"In addition, your treatment will also be thoroughly improved, and many people will be able to get a military salary of five taels of silver or even ten taels of silver per month, of course, this military salary is not taken for nothing, you must give me an effort and obey my orders."

"Swear allegiance to the Commander-in-Chief!"

"Swear allegiance to the Commander-in-Chief!!

Everyone's voices were loud and neat, which shocked Zhang Feng's eardrums a little painful, it can be seen that Wang Chaoyong's usual training is good, and his ideological indoctrination is also good, and he swears allegiance to the general soldier, and Wang Chaoyong can think of it, but Zhang Feng likes it. ”

Zhang Feng pressed his hand down, everyone's voices immediately stopped, and suddenly quieted down, everyone looked at Zhang Feng and stood straight.

Zhang Feng said: "The squad leader will lead everyone to continue training, and the personnel above the squadron leader will come to the conference room with me." ”

The security team has more than 200 people, divided into 12 squads, three squadrons, and three squadron leaders, Zong Dechao, Liu Yiping, Wu Dingkun, and Wang Chaoyong, followed Zhang Feng to the conference room.

Zong Dechao, Liu Yiping, and Wu Dingkun usually perform well, have a little culture, and know some words, so they were appointed as squadron leaders.

Everyone sat down in the conference room, Zhang Feng first deployed the recruitment matter, Zhang Feng was ready to recruit 500 troops, plus the existing more than 200 people, there would be a team of more than 700 people under his hands.

Because the production speed of muskets can't keep up, otherwise, Zhang Feng will recruit 1,000 people, or 2,000 people, so many muskets every month, can only come slowly step by step.

After deploying the recruitment, Zhang Feng threw out another bombshell, only to see Zhang Feng say again: "Although we are only a group training, the management must be standardized, I have already thought about it, and I am also ready to launch the military rank system." ”

Someone immediately asked, "Lord Commander, what is the military rank system?" ”

As a traverser, Zhang Feng naturally has a very good understanding of the modern military rank system, and Zhang Feng adopts the modern military rank system.

General 4 ranks: general, general, lieutenant general, major general;

Rank 4: Colonel, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major;

Lieutenant 3: Captain, Lieutenant, Ensign;

Sergeant 3 rank: sergeant, sergeant, corporal;

Soldier 2: Private and private.

After listening to Zhang Feng's talk about this military rank system, everyone's eyes lit up, the soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers, Wang Chaoyong wants to be a general, and the rest of the squadron leaders are afraid that it will be the same.

Wang Chaoyong couldn't wait to ask, "Boss, what rank am I?" ”

Zhang Feng said: "Wang Chaoyong, you are now a major battalion commander for the time being." ”

"Chief soldier, what kind of officer is the battalion commander?"

Zhang Feng patiently explained the establishment of squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, etc., and of course, Zhang Feng also prepared to draw up an official document to solidify the military rank system and troop establishment.

Zhang Feng wants to train troops, and he still trains the new army, using a modern army structure, and his weapons are no longer cold weapons, but hot weapons, such as flintlock muskets.

The meeting lasted more than an hour, and not only arranged the recruitment of troops, but also explained the military rank system, the establishment of troops, and even made appointments.

Appointed Wang Chaoyong as the major battalion commander, Zong Dechao, Liu Yiping, and Wu Dingkun as the captains and company commanders, as for the platoon commander, squad leader, etc., Zhang Feng handed it over to Wang Chaoyong and others, and Wang Chaoyong and others discussed it, and gave the list to Zhang Feng for a look.

In addition, Zhang Feng also talked about everyone's treatment, naturally, everyone's treatment has been greatly improved, the soldier's monthly salary is 2 taels of silver, the sergeant's salary is 2 taels and 5 yuan, the corporal is 3 taels, the sergeant is 4 taels, and the sergeant is 5 taels per month.

The squad leader is generally a sergeant, 5 taels of silver per month, and the second lieutenant platoon commander can get 10 taels of silver, and the higher the rank, the higher the salary.

As soon as the military rank system was announced, with a promotion channel, coupled with a lot of military salaries, Zhang Feng believed that an excellent army would definitely be built.

Sure enough, as soon as the military rank system was announced, coupled with the fact that the military salary was not low, everyone's enthusiasm for training was high.
