Chapter 66: Long Wu Army

Back at the camp of the Longwu Army, Wu Wenruo, the commander of the baggage company, found Wang Jundao with a list and excitedly reported: "Commander, we have completely distributed this time, and we have obtained a total of more than 160,000 taels of gold, more than 5 million taels of silver, as well as jewelry and jade worth 100,000 taels of gold, as well as antique calligraphy and paintings of inestimable value, in addition, there are silk, cloth, salt, pig iron, etc. worth 50,000 taels of gold, as well as food for 10,000 people for half a year!" ”

Looking at the data on the list and listening to Wu Wenruo's report, Wang Jundao exclaimed: "It seems that we really made a lot of money this time, but I didn't expect us to make so much money in one night, by the way, what happened to those people we hired to do transportation?" ”

Wu Wenruo replied: "Commander, I have done what you have told, because Tianjin City is occupied by foreigners, this morning they took their families out, under the high salary given by the commander, most of them are willing to follow us, I have temporarily arranged them into the baggage camp according to your requirements, the baggage camp now has more than 2,900 people, a total of more than 4,200 horse-drawn horses of various types, more than 2,200 cars of each **, and the family of the dart bureau I also organized them into the logistics team, Now Luo Shiguan is under management, and in the future, according to what you said, the commander will train them into logistics troops for propaganda, organization, clothing, shoemaking, ordnance repair, etc. ”

"Good!" Wang Jundao praised loudly, and then asked, "By the way, how many guns and ammunition did we get in total?" ”

When Wu Wenruo heard this, his eyebrows fluttered and he said: "We have obtained a total of 300,000 kilograms of black gunpowder, 150,000 kilograms of maroon cake medicine, 30,000 kilograms of cotton medicine, more than 40 artillery pieces of various types, more than 15,000 shells, and more than 22,000 imitation long and short foreign guns, the bullets have not yet been counted, and the preliminary estimate will not be less than two or three million. And the commander, you promised them a high salary, and almost all of them were willing to follow you, and many of them also wanted to build a machine factory for them to work in the future. ”

Tang Jian, who had been stunned, finally couldn't help but speak: "There are so many weapons, the Qing soldiers are unwilling to issue them to the Boxer soldiers when the Boxers enter Tianjin to defend the city, even if most of the Boxer soldiers have never shot a gun, but as long as they take the gun and experience a battle, then everything will be fine, if they send the gun to the Boxer, I am afraid that Tianjin will not be so easy to lose, alas!" ”

"Qing Zhengaxe has always been uneasy about the Boxers, don't forget, a few months ago, the Qing soldiers were vigorously exterminating the Boxers." Wang Jundao said. He will not be unfamiliar with the famous Beiyang Machinery Bureau in history, that is, the Tianjin Machinery Bureau, because before the Beiyang Naval Division experienced the Yellow Sea Naval Battle, the Beiyang Machinery Bureau was the weapon supply factory of the Beiyang Naval Division, and after the destruction of the Beiyang Naval Division, it became the weapon supply factory of the Wuwei Front Army and the Wuwei Left Army.

"That's right." Tang Jian nodded.

"It's just cheaper for us." Wang Jundao suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart, and then asked Wu Wenruo: "How many Boxers have we collected in total?" ”

Wu Wenruo said: "With the remnants of Zhang Decheng's more than 3,000 'No. 1 regiments in the world', we have gathered more than 9,000 Boxer soldiers in Tianjin!" In addition, there were more than 1,000 wounded Boxer soldiers, all of whom were only slightly injured, and as long as they were wounded, they could become fighters again. ”

"Great!" Wang Jundao was completely excited. Now that he has guns and people, he only needs a month of military training, and these Boxer soldiers who came out of the rain of bullets can be transformed into more than 20,000 real iron-blooded soldiers, which he didn't even expect when he rushed from Yanjing to Tianjin, at that time he thought that it would be good to gather a few thousand people at most.

In the middle of the sound, Wang Jundao suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to Wu Wenruo: "Wenruo, you go and call Yue Fengxian, Murong Ke, Nie Yuanzheng, Leng Feng, Luo Shiguan, as well as Pang Wei, Lin Hei'er, Cao Futian, Li Cunyi, Zhang Decheng, Wang Chengde, etc., I will hold an emergency meeting." ”

"Yes!" After Wu Wenruo answered the order, he hurried away.

The content of the meeting was not much, that is, to organize all the Boxer soldiers and form the Longwu Army.

Tang Jian, Yue Fengxian, Murong Ke, Nie Yuanzheng, Leng Feng, and Luo Shiguan naturally had no objections.

Pang Wei, Lin Hei'er, Cao Futian, and Li Cunyi have seen Wang Jundao's ability, means, talent, and martial arts, and they have already been subjugated by Wang Jundao, so they are naturally obedient.

As for the leaders of the Boxers such as Zhang Decheng and Wang Chengde, who had just joined, through the descriptions of Pang Wai and Lin Heier, they were also full of admiration for Wang Jundao, and they were able to form the Boxers together to fight against the foreigners, and they naturally did not reject too much, and readily agreed.

In the end, the Longwu Army was successfully established, and Wang Jundao personally served as the commander of the army and the chief of staff, under the jurisdiction of five combat infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment, which were the first regiment, the second regiment, the third regiment, the fourth regiment, the fifth regiment and the cavalry regiment of the Longwu Army.

Wang Jundao was honest and benevolent, and appointed Zhang De as the head of the first regiment, and the deputy commander was Wang Chengde, and their original subordinates added up to more than 4,500 people, and Wang Jundao made up 5,000 people for them, and at the same time, Wang Jundao appointed Chu Feng, the platoon commander of the first platoon of the guidance company, as the chief of staff of the first regiment.

The commander of the second regiment was Tang Jian, the chief of staff Lin Zhengnan, and the whole regiment had more than 5,000 people.

The commander of the third regiment was Nie Yuanzheng, and the chief of staff was Xiao Changcheng, with more than 5,000 people in the regiment.

Pang Wei, the commander of the Fourth Regiment, Chen Yuanshan of the Guidance Company as the deputy commander, and Zhou Shangwu, the second platoon commander of the Guidance Company, as the chief of staff, were more than 5,000 people in the regiment.

Cao Futian, commander of the Fifth Regiment, Li Jing of the Guidance Company as deputy commander, and Liu Hucheng, platoon commander of the third platoon of the Guidance Company, as chief of staff, totaled more than 5,000 people.

Yue Fengxian, the commander of the cavalry regiment, Murong Ke, the deputy commander of the regiment, and Yue Fengxian as the chief of staff, the whole regiment has more than 2,000 cavalry, divided into two cavalry battalions, the commander of the first battalion is naturally Yue Fengxian, and the commander of the second battalion is Murong Ke.

Wushu Troupe, head Li Cunyi, deputy head Hao Enguang. Because Li Cunyi is fifty-three years old, and he is not suitable for leading troops to fight, Wang Jundao took out more than 500 martial arts masters among the soldiers of the original Boxer Regiment, and handed them all over to him, plus 500 people in his headquarters, a total of more than 1,000 people, and gave the name of the martial arts troupe, Li Cunyi is the head of the martial arts troupe, the reason why the martial arts regiment was established, as the name suggests, is to make the martial arts troupe become the martial arts instructor and military training instructor of the Long Wujun in the future, and Li Cunyi is naturally the chief martial arts instructor of the Long Wu Army.

In the special operations battalion, the battalion commander Leng Feng drew the elite of various abilities in the whole army and expanded it to 300 people.

The commander of the guidance battalion was Wang Jundao, with 10 people from the original guidance battalion as the backbone, and selected 300 people from the army who understood culture to join the battalion, and trained it into a guidance battalion that was proficient in both politics and military affairs.

The regiment commander is Wu Wenruo, deputy head Cheng Xu, and there are more than 5,000 people in the regiment, most of whom are from the dart bureau and transportation personnel in Tianjin, and there are many people who have escaped from Tianjin.

Logistics Department, Director Luo Shiguan, Deputy Director Lin Heier, under the jurisdiction of the Battalion Bureau, Political Work Bureau, Food and Salary Bureau, Detective Bureau, Ordnance Industry Bureau, Personnel Bureau, Propaganda Bureau, Cultural Bureau, Military Medical Bureau, Health Bureau, Cultural and Industrial Bureau, Military Uniform Bureau, etc., Camp Bureau, Political Work Bureau, Detective Bureau, Ordnance Bureau, Personnel Bureau, Propaganda Bureau, etc. are coordinated by Luo Shiguan, and the Military Medical Bureau, Health Bureau, Cultural and Industrial Bureau, Military Uniform Bureau, Food and Salary Bureau, Cultural Bureau, etc. are fully responsible for Lin Heier, most of them were ordinary people who fled from Tianjin, and after Wang Jundao gave his salary, they became part of the logistics staff.

Since the total number of soldiers and civilians in the Longwu Army has reached tens of thousands of people, this camp can no longer meet the needs of life, Wang Jundao plans to march to a place suitable for the army to live after the successful reorganization of the Longwu Army, preferably a good place for development by the mountains and rivers.

Wang Jundao chose a good place, Jixian County, the northernmost part of Tianjin!

Jixian County has fertile land, rich gold ore reserves, Qianxi County and Zunhua County in the east contain huge gold mines, iron ores and coal mines, and in the southeast of Qianxi County, there are Qian'an County, which is China's four major iron ore ore gathering places, and in the southwest of Qian'an County, there are Kailuan Coal Mine, which is now the largest coal mine supply place in Zhili area, with an annual output of more than one million tons of coal mines.

As long as you occupy Jixian County, then you can have whatever you want!

And the terrain around Jixian County is favorable, Jixian County is north of Cuiping Mountain at the southern foot of Yanshan, east of Cuiping Lake, south is a fertile plain, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, as long as you gain a firm foothold there, rely on Yanshan, and then slowly develop to the south, annex the Beijing-Tianjin region, and then form a north-south pincer with the Tiger Ben Army in Shandong, and the Zhili region and North China are at your fingertips.
