Chapter 169: Establishment and Control

Taking advantage of the high morale of the reward just issued, Ren Siqi decided to reorganize the establishment. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info now there are nearly 500 people under Ren Siqi on Daishan Island, including dozens of crew members who have followed the original, 100 village soldiers mainly composed of Daishan people, more than 200 Ming immigrants recruited from Nagasaki, Japan, and more than 50 Japanese wandering samurai, which can be said to be complex and numerous.

In the Ming Dynasty, the inspection department was mostly located in the traffic hub, far away from the city, responsible for interrogating pedestrians and arresting fugitives. Of course, one of the major functions of the Patrol Division on the island is to apprehend pirates. In the Zhoushan archipelago, there are many pirates, which is why the Daishan Inspection Division was able to rebuild.

The establishment of the inspection department is usually an inspector, from the ninth grade, who is a petty official who has just entered the stream. In addition, there will be two scribes, and dozens to hundreds of archers. Now the number of people under Ren Siqi far exceeds the number of people that a patrol department should have.

After careful thinking and discussion with Mao Shibai and others, Ren Siqi decided to divide his subordinates into two parts. The first is the sailor, which is mainly composed of nine large ships, whose responsibility is to patrol the sea near Daishan, combat piracy, and conduct ocean-going trade. The second is the land division, which is mainly composed of 100 township soldiers led by Jin Yufei, whose responsibility is to defend Daishan and cooperate with the naval army to fight pirates.

There are a total of nine ships in the naval division, each of which is determined, and the largest Dutch ship, the "Princess", has the largest number of people because of the large number of guns on it, with a total of 60 people, as Ren Siqi's new flagship. The "Flying Fish" originally had six guns, but six more were transferred from the "Princess", and now there are 12 cannons and 48 people. The other three-masted ships have a fixed crew of 36 people per ship. In this way, the establishment of nine large ships alone amounted to 300 people.

Each large ship has a pipe belt, the general leader of the whole ship, and the chief of fire, treasurer and other positions, all the crew is divided into five levels: trainee crew, ordinary crew, deputy supervisor, supervisor, and general manager, the situation is the same as before. In addition to the "Princess", which was directly led by Ren Siqi, Mao Shibai was appointed as the "Flying Fish" pipe band, Sima Nan was the "Fuchun" pipe band, and the other ships had experienced veteran crew members as the pipe band.

In terms of the army, the original 100 township soldiers Jin Yufei and Monroe were well trained, using the formation of the Spanish pike phalanx, and the soldiers were divided into two types: pikemen and musketeers. Ren Siqi plans to expand on the original basis and expand to 300 people.

Ren Siqi is now the inspector of the Daishan Inspection Division, and theoretically is already the highest governor of Daishan Island, although he does not have the power to govern the villages, but he has the power to recruit and dispatch civil servants. In fact, according to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the Inspection Department were not real soldiers, but were called archers. In ancient times, in addition to paying the imperial grain and national taxes, the people also had to serve various types of conscription, and serving in the inspection department was one of them. Naturally, there is no salary to be paid for servitude, but now Ren Siqi pays each of his subordinates a salary, and does not treat them as civilian servants, but treats them the same as his own subordinate crews. It is believed that under this kind of treatment, the people of all villages in Daishan will be happy to serve, and there is no problem in expanding the army to 300 people.

As for the establishment of the army, after discussing with Monroe Jin Yufei, Ren Siqi decided to adopt the following organization: 12 people have a small flag, and the commander is called a small flag; 4 small flags are a general flag, the chief is called the general flag, and there is a herald, a total of 50 people; 3. The general flag is a team, the commander is called the team, and there are other heralds, cooks, etc., a total of about 160 people.

Due to the limited number of archers, Ren Siqi decided to form two teams of archers first, one team with Jin Yufei as the team leader, and the other team with the Dutchman Monroe as the team leader. Ren Baoquan, Tony, Shabila, Ren Likun and others served as the general flag.

Of course, now the number is less than two teams of archers, and it is necessary to levy civilian service from the villages of Daishan Island, Ren Siqi is not in a hurry, now he only needs to put up the shelf of the army, and slowly expand it in the future.

Then there is the problem of control of the army, in the late Ming Dynasty, the establishment of the imperial army was very chaotic, and the combat effectiveness of the army was extremely poor. An army of 10,000 people often has real combat effectiveness only a few hundred personal soldiers of the main general, and the army in the late Ming Dynasty has a very bad place, that is, the soldiers are generals, and the imperial court's control of the army is very poor, which caused many warlords in the late Ming Dynasty, such as Wu Sangui and other Guanning iron cavalry, and then there are four towns in the south and north of the Ming River. If the Lord has a different heart, the whole army will rebel.

Of course, Ren Siqi will not allow this to happen in his own army in the future, and the army he has worked so hard to build must be completely controlled by himself. Therefore, Ren Siqi decided to learn from the people's army of later generations and set up a dual chief officer in one army. For example, in a team, in addition to setting up the post of team supervisor, Ren Siqi decided to set up a post of team supervisor, that is, supervising the army, which is equivalent to the political commissar of later generations, and the team supervisor and the team supervisor are equal in size. Combat training is the responsibility of the team, and the discipline of life is supervised by the team. In this way, if the two people check and balance each other, they will not be able to have different intentions, and Ren Siqi can also ensure the control of the army.

Ren Siqi appointed Anthony as the supervisor of the first team, and took control of the first team together with Jin Yufei. Ren Xingfan was appointed as the team supervisor of the second team, and he took control of the second team together with Dutchman Monroe.

In addition, Ren Siqi set up a post of pacification in each team and was in charge of military discipline and military law. Cao Changjiang was appointed as the chief commander and in charge of the entire army military law.

Since the army has adopted dual commanders, so does the navy. For each boat, in addition to the pipe belt, Ren Siqi appointed a separate ship supervisor. The pipe belt is responsible for the operation of the ship, and the ship supervisor is responsible for life and supervision of the pipe belt.

This whole set of systems is extremely complicated, and Ren Siqi took the literate Ren Xingfan, Song Liben and others for many days to make this whole set of written regulations. Then the order was announced.

As the order was announced, each of the chiefs took up their respective duties. Ren Siqi only announced the appointment of the main positions of each ship and each team, and the specific positions such as the helmsman of each ship need to be appointed by the chief officers themselves.

At this moment, the entire Gaoting Town was in a hurry, Mao Shibai and other ship managers and ship supervisors hurriedly looked for suitable candidates for various positions on their ships, and all crew members also secretly thought about the positions they could do and find their own relationships.

It took ten days for the ships to be reorganized, and everyone found their place.

It took a few more days for the roster of each team and boat to be completed. Looking at the thick roster in front of him, Ren Siqi breathed a sigh of relief, with these rosters, Ren Siqi felt that he had completely controlled all his subordinates. (To be continued.) )
