Xu Shichang continued: "The Tiger Ben Guard is your own army, and it has gone through many battles, from Tai'an to Yanjing, from Yanjing to Tianjin, from Tianjin to Shandong, and finally from Shandong back to Yanjing, all the way led by you, and has been winning battles, and there is naturally no problem with your loyalty."

Therefore, you should let the Tiger Guards exchange the troops stationed in various places, that is, use the Tiger Guards to exchange the guards with the armies in various places, transfer the troops from all over the country to Yanjing, and then you personally command the army to train, with your ability and skill, you can naturally easily subdue these complicated soldiers from all over the country and all walks of life, and you can also re-establish your position in the hearts of officers at all levels.

At the same time, you can let middle and high-ranking officers enter your military school to receive your teaching, and when the army has completed thorough training, and the military quality of officers at all levels has been greatly improved, and there is no problem in loyalty, you can safely release them out to fight in all directions. ”

Wang Jundao smiled and said, "Why do you think I spared no expense to take away the people from the west of Nanyuan to Taihang Mountain?" And completely extend the area of Nanyuan into the Taihang Mountain? ”

Xu Shichang was shocked in his heart, and immediately understood: "Do you want the troops from all over the country to train in Nanyuan?" ”

Wang Jundao nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I can tell you privately now, I have long wanted to reorganize the Dragon and Tiger Army, the composition of the Dragon and Tiger Army is too complicated, the Dragon and Tiger Army, the Tiger Army, and the Tiger Army, in the long run, even if no one betrays, it will be divided into factions, which is not convenient for leadership and command, and the officers and soldiers are uneven, they need training, they need the most arduous training, this training is not only the training of the soldiers, but also the training of the officers, only when the training of officers and soldiers is completed, the Dragon and Tiger Army can be regarded as a real army, But to do all this, not now. ”

Xu Shichang subconsciously asked, "When was that?" ”

Wang Jundao said with a smile: "I have to wait for at least three months, when the Dragon and Tiger Army scattered in various places recruits and horses meet my requirements, when the new and old soldiers in various places complete the mixed formation, and when the armies in various places complete three months of basic training...... If you think about it, it's winter now, and it's the best time to train the soldiers' perseverance and physical fitness, and only the soldiers who have persevered through this winter are eligible to enter my Dragon and Tiger Army, otherwise they can only go home, where they come from, where they go back, and when the new army completes the most basic military training, they can be transferred to Yanjing for my modern military training. ”

Xu Shichang said uneasily: "Then what if someone rebels in the past three months?" ”

Wang Jundao said with a smile: "You can rest assured, these three months are primary military training, the subject of training is military formation, formation, physical fitness, perseverance, courage, in addition to cold weapons, I will not issue them too many guns, let alone ammunition, soldiers want to train firearms, can only hold wooden guns hanging bricks, stones or guns without bullets." And for grain and grass, I will only give enough according to the head, and I will not give much.

Think about it, without sufficient weapons, without surplus grain and grass, in the big winter, who would dare to rebel? And you should know very well that what I practice is the separation of military, administrative, and financial, and there is no military, and there is no financial supply and administrative support, and who can rebel?

Besides, the supreme commanders everywhere will not betray me, although my Wang Jundao is not talented, but I still have this bit of self-confidence, as for junior and intermediate officers, even if they betray, what waves can they stir? ”

In fact, in terms of money and grain, Wang Jundao did not lack at all, mastered the treasury and government of the Great Qing Dynasty, controlled the wealth of the Manchu royal family, and copied the homes of countless Manchu princes and noble ministers.

Wang Jundao lacks weapons, although with the weapons in the arsenal of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Eight-Nation Alliance, and Yuan Shikai that he has now captured, he can equip 1230,000 more people, but the new weapons of the 'Piercing Heaven' series produced by the arsenals in various places can be equipped with 20,000 or 30,000 people, and if he wants to really carry out modern military training, if he wants to make the army's combat effectiveness much higher than that of other countries, then he needs to equip all the weapons of the 'Piercing Heaven' series into the army.

Today, Yanjing's No. 0 Arsenal, Tai'an's No. 1 Arsenal, and Jixian's No. 2 Arsenal are all on the right track, and several branches have been expanded, and the No. 3 Arsenal in Jinan and the No. 4 Arsenal in Tianjin are also about to be reorganized.

Although due to the limitations of steel, machine tools, equipment, technicians, workers, and other resources, except for the slightly larger output of the No. 1 Arsenal in Tai'an Steel City, the rest of the arsenals produce very small amounts of new weapons, but the joint processing and production of each arsenal can barely produce more than 10,000 people's weapons and equipment and ammunition supply in a month.

With the passage of time, this data will become larger and larger, and in three months, with the establishment of his own iron and steel and other industries, Wang Jundao believes that his arsenal should have no problem producing 100,000 new weapons and equipment.

When the time comes, all the Dragon and Tiger Army will be summoned to Nanyuan for training, and the captured weapons can be used first, and then the new weapons will be fully equipped with the troops after a few more months of training.

After listening to Wang Jundao's words, Xu Shichang sighed and said, "It turns out that you have already had a countermeasure, alas, I suddenly found that it is very tiring to follow a master who is too shrewd." ”

Wang Jundao laughed and said: "You are my father-in-law, how dare I be your master?" ”

As soon as the words were spoken, the two had no scruples, and talked about a lot of things, including military, politics, astronomy, geography, cultivation, etc., through a lot of knowledge beyond this era, Wang Jundao made Xu Shichang admire him even more.

After having dinner with Xu Shichang in the Yangxin Palace, Wang Jundao asked, "Does my father-in-law plan to serve in the Military Aircraft Department, or go to the cabinet or the prime minister's yamen?" ”

For today's Military Aircraft Department, the Cabinet and the Prime Minister's Yamen, due to this period of time, with Cui Jingluo's care, Xu Shichang has a deep understanding, he thought for a while, and then said: "The Cabinet now has Cui Jingluo as the chief cabinet minister, as well as Wei Zhongcheng, Meng Xingliang and others, these people are rare talents, with them to deal with the cabinet, I will only be the icing on the cake, not to play a big role, and the Prime Minister's Yamen is now controlled by the cabinet, nominally a separate department, but in fact it has been subordinate to the cabinet, I think it will soon become part of the cabinet, so the affairs of the Prime Minister's Yamen are also less, and Tang Shaoyi is in charge, which is enough, and Xu Yongyi, the chief minister of the Military Aircraft Department, is old and must lack energy, and the Military Aircraft Department is more important to you, so I want to go to the Military Aircraft Department. ”

Wang Jundao thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said: "The Military Aircraft Department is vacant of the second Minister of Military Aircraft, and my father-in-law will be appointed as the second Minister of Military Aircraft." ”

Xu Shichang never thought that Wang Jundao would suddenly let himself serve as the second minister of military aircraft, and the current military aircraft department is not the former military aircraft department, although it participates in military affairs, but it only belongs to the emperor's staff body, and the current military aircraft department can be in charge of the country's military aircraft affairs, and the second minister of military aircraft is equivalent to the second-in-command of the military aircraft department.

Of course, the Military Aircraft Department is under the jurisdiction of the military aircraft affairs of the provinces other than Zhili Province, Henan Province, and Shandong Province, that is, the military affairs of the regions outside the Dragon and Tiger Army, Wang Jundao knows very well that once he announces the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Military Aircraft Department will exist in name only.

After Wang Jundao led his troops to Tianjin, the headquarters was temporarily exercised by Yang Poyu to exercise the right to manage it, of course, and the final decision, like the cabinet, would be handed over to the hands of Mingyue.

Now that Wang Jundao has returned to Yanjing, he decided to merge the Tiger Army Headquarters in Shandong with the Dragon and Tiger Army Headquarters in Yanjing, so when Xu Shichang became the second Minister of Military Aircraft, Wang Jundao also began to reorganize the Dragon and Tiger Army Headquarters.

The headquarters has four departments, namely the General Staff Department, the Equipment Department, the Logistics Department, and the Military Weapons Department.

The General Staff Department is responsible for organizing and leading the military construction of the Dragon and Tiger Army, organizing and directing the military operations of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and has operational departments, intelligence, communications, military training, military affairs, military law, mobilization, equipment, confidentiality, surveying and mapping, foreign affairs, management, and various arms of the armed forces.

The armament department is responsible for organizing and leading the armament work of the whole army, and has departments such as the planning of the armament of the whole army, the replacement of weapons of all services and arms, the ordering of army equipment, and the support of general equipment.

The logistics department is responsible for organizing and leading the logistics work of the whole army, and has departments such as finance, military quartermasters, propaganda, medical care, public health, discipline inspection, military transportation, oil supplies, and infrastructure barracks.

The Military Armed Forces Department is responsible for the teaching of martial arts and is in charge of the construction and training of militia groups formed in various localities, with Li Shuwen as the minister, Li Cunyi as the deputy minister, and Sun Lutang, Cheng Tinghua, Shang Yunxiang, Gong Baotian, Yin Fu and others all holding important positions in the Military Armed Forces Department.

In order to restore the martial spirit of the people, after the establishment of the military and military department, Wang Jundao decisively ordered the militia to be renamed the military regiment.

Subsequently, Wang Jundao proposed to reorganize the military martial arts, and try to make the military martial arts integrate the strengths of each family, and it is simple and practical, and the power is amazing, so that the military martial arts will be popularized into the army in the future.

At the same time, Wang Jundao personally named the traditional Chinese martial arts as the national arts, and only killed the enemy, not performed the art of defending the country, and also selected the four great arts.

The four great arts are Xingyi, Baji, Taiji, Bagua, these four great arts not only include boxing, but also include the corresponding knife skills, swordsmanship, spear skills, etc., the four great arts will all be open in the army, all the internal and external cultivation methods are open to the soldiers, as long as you want to learn, after learning the military martial arts, you can choose freely, but it is forbidden to spread the national arts to other countries.

In addition to the four departments, the headquarters also has the Military Science Research Institute, the Military Weapons Research Institute, the Huaxia Military School, and the Luowang Organization, which are directly under Wang Jundao and only responsible to Wang Jundao; Wang Jundao is the president of the Military Science Research Institute; Xu Jianyin, the president of the Military Weapons Research Institute is Xu Jianyin, and the president of the Huaxia Military School is Wang Jundao.

As for the Luowang organization, although it is named in the headquarters, all the information has not been disclosed in the headquarters, and the Luowang organization is only under the orders of Wang Jundao, and the direct leader is Li Jinghua, and the specific situation of the Luowang organization is only known to Wang Jundao and Li Jinghua.

Of course, Wang Jundao's old housekeeper Qiren Chen Shijun also knew that the Luowang Organization was too dangerous, and he was not at ease with the Luowang Organization, fearing that Li Jinghua would get out of control and endanger Wang Jundao in the future, so he personally served as the director of the Luowang Organization and supervised the entire Luowang Organization.

All members of the Luowang organization, whether they joined before or newly joined for agent training, must be trained and tested by Chen Shijun, and only when they meet the standards can they go out to perform tasks, otherwise they will either quit or continue training until they reach the standard, if there is disobedience, of course, there is only one ending.

In three days, Wang Jundao completed the reorganization of the headquarters of the Dragon and Tiger Army.

After the reorganization of the headquarters, Wang Jundao immediately sent the news to all parts of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and at the same time ordered all departments of the Dragon and Tiger Army.

The 2nd Cavalry Division in Henan was ordered to go north to Beijing, and only the 2nd and 5th Divisions of the Huben Army were left in Henan.

Yue Fengxian, who was stationed on the front line of Shanhaiguan, was ordered to lead the First Cavalry Division into Beijing, and only the Second Division of the Longwu Army was left on the Shanhaiguan defense line.

At the same time, it was ordered that the total number of recruits, Qing soldiers, and veterans recruited by each division stationed in the locality should not exceed 30,000. (To be continued.) )
