Chapter 298: Defense

After the South and the North were divided, everyone knew that there would be an indissoluble war between the North and the South, but this war did not mean that it could be fought when it was fought. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although the southern provinces have carried out initial integration and have taken the Northern Expedition as a follow-up goal, the combat capability of the army is still a huge problem for the south.

Although the new army in the south eliminated all the unstable elements in the new army and some unqualified sergeants after the initial integration, it eliminated so many people for a while.

The new army in the south still needs a lot of time to recover and strengthen the fighting capacity of the army, compared to the southern provinces.

Wang Bin in the north also did not have the military strength to the south, more than double the territory has been a little scattered under Wang Bin's army, although this time Wang Bin went out of the pass with the military strength of four towns, but after being distributed to the provinces, the army that can move out of the south is just a town.

In this regard, it is imperative to first stabilize the territory in hand, and then gradually integrate the army in their hands, and establish patrol organizations at the local level.

When there is sufficient military strength to free up from the task of pressing the ground, it is time to move south.

In the provisional government of Jingshi, Wang Bin, the supreme governor of the newly established power in the south, was deliberating with his subordinates on a series of issues.

"My lord, now that we have completely mastered the four provinces of Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi and Henan, the formation of this patrol police should also be carried out simultaneously."

In the following, Duan Qirui first put forward the idea of vigorously forming a patrol force, Duan Qirui's view is very simple, the patrol force is simply the supply side of the main force.

When the military strength of the front line is insufficient, the patrol force can be transferred to the front line from the rear, and in any case, the patrol force is not much different from the regular force, that is, it has an additional responsibility for maintaining public order.

"Well, this official has already thought that he really can't rely on these troops under his command to press the ground, Xiling's patrol work is ready to be handed over to Wang Yongjiang, what do you think?"

Wang Yongjiang's actions over the past year Wang Bin has always been very concerned, although Xiong Xiling strongly recommended it at the beginning, but Wang Bin still has to take a look at the specific ability.

After Wang Yongjiang took office, he did not disappoint Wang Bin, first with the help of the army, he formed a patrol police, and then began to clear the land, which made a lot of financial improvements.

After these moves, Wang Bin increasingly thought that Wang Yongjiang was a talented person, so this time the large-scale formation of the patrol force, Wang Bin had the intention of handing over Wang Yongjiang to do.

"My lord, isn't this order a bit too child's play."

In the face of Wang Bin's appointment, Xiong Xiling still said with some caution that it was really a bit incredible to hand over all the patrol matters of the four provinces to Wang Yongjiang.

Facing Xiong Xiling's words, Wang Bin knew that Xiong Xiling was thinking too much, and let Wang Yongjiang do all the patrols in the four provinces alone, how could Wang Bin agree.

"Hehe, Xiling, you are a little worried, this Zhili and Shandong already have a complete patrol system, and they only need to be reformed slightly.

Wang Yongjiang only needs to set up patrol police in Shanxi and Henan, and besides, this official will also send some patrol police from Zhili and Shandong to set up patrol police shelves in these two provinces first. ”

After Wang Bin finished saying this, Wang Yingkai, who was sitting on the side, suddenly touched his beard and said: "Youde, now that we have drawn a clear line in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is really inappropriate to still use the previous military system.

The old man pondered whether he should develop a new military system. ”

Wang Yingkai's idea is very simple, since he fell out with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the military system established by the Manchu Qing Dynasty is really a bit indifferent, it is better to re-establish a military system on his own side.

After listening to Wang Yingkai's words, Wang Bin immediately had an idea, but since this question was raised by Wang Yingkai, it is better to take a look at what Wang Yingkai thinks.

"Uncle Wang, I've been thinking about this, but I don't know if Uncle Wang has any good ideas?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yingkai said happily: "The old man has also thought about this method for a while, and I think it is better to summarize a military system that belongs to us according to the military system of those powers. ”

As soon as Wang Bin heard this, he knew that Wang Yingkai imagined that half of the great powers would make a military system at the division and regiment level, and this idea was the same as what Wang Bin had in mind.

In comparison, the establishment of this division and brigade was more familiar to Wang Bin, and Wang Bin immediately spoke.

"Uncle Wang's idea coincides with mine, we can change the town into a division, the association into a brigade, and the standard into a regiment, and just like that, all the way to the grassroots shed."

As soon as the question of this military system was discussed, the following officers all began to express their opinions.

After some discussions, the issue of this military system was finally settled, and the original town, association, and standard were changed to the establishment of divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads in later generations.

Moreover, Wang Bin originally had no requirements for the number of soldiers in the army under his command, but this time, in order to integrate the establishment of the army, he put forward an accurate requirement for the number of soldiers in each division, requiring the establishment of a division to be maintained at about 15,000 people.

Originally, the number of troops under Wang Bin was probably about 15,000 people in a town, but the number of soldiers was still somewhat exceeded.

Therefore, Wang Bin decided to put all these overtaken soldiers into the patrol police, and in the afternoon, Wang Bin discussed with Duan Qirui and others about the establishment and number of the army under his command.

The original seven towns under his command and the four towns in Zhili Shandong combined, a total of 11 towns in the number of troops, Wang Bin was reorganized into the 1st Division of the Army to the 11th Division of the Army.

The change of the military system also began with the transfer of officers in various divisions, except for the armies of Wang Yingkai and Wang Shizhen, which did not make any large-scale transfers, and the armies of Duan Zhigui and Feng Guozhang made large-scale transfers.

Especially Duan Zhigui, Duan Zhigui's current official position is the governor of Shandong, and there is a division of military strength under his hands, at that time, Wang Bin asked Duan Zhigui to make a choice, whether to be a division commander or a governor.

Duan Zhigui naturally chose to be a governor and gave up control of the army, in Duan Zhigui's opinion, how good the official position of governor is, he can manage a province, and the official position of division commander can only manage more than 10,000 people, Duan Zhigui naturally has to choose the option that is beneficial to him.

After Duan Zhigui made this choice, Wang Bin now has all the army in his hands, and then there is a complete reform. (To be continued.) )
