"Hehe, I finally have a battalion of soldiers, although they are all new soldiers, but that's fine, at least there are no bad habits of those old soldiers, and this battalion is newly established, and the company commanders and platoon commanders in it are all members of our comrades' association, if this battalion is trained well, we will have a capital to live in this troubled world!"

Chang Ruiqing knocked on the table, and gave his brothers a picture of the future.

This time Chang Ruiqing and their errand was arranged by Xu Shuzheng, who was feared by everyone, and the efficiency was naturally surprisingly high, the commander of the 13th Division, Li Jincai, was also a general of the Anhui Department, and he was originally the commander of the Gong Guard, and this time he could be the commander of the Eight Classics, and Xu Shuzheng's support was naturally indispensable, so he didn't embarrass the dozen Baoding students arranged by Xu Shuzheng, and he didn't ask for bribes after meeting (he also knew that they had no money), but he simply trained a few words, and then sent to the Nanyuan military camp to take office. After all, this model battalion does not occupy the original establishment of the 13th Division, but is a separate battalion head set up outside the twelve battalion heads of the two brigades and four regiments......

Speaking of deducting military salaries, it is basically a common problem of various armies in China at present. Since the rise of the army training at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the army has almost become a "joint-stock system", the imperial court or the central government has a share, and those warlord leaders who control tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops also have a share, and the officers who directly lead the troops below, such as the current division commanders and brigade commanders, also have their own shares in the army, and even the battalion commander like Chang Ruiqing, who is in charge of hundreds of soldiers, also has a small share, which can almost be regarded as an entry-level warlord! Since the army has implemented the joint-stock system, of course, the shareholders of all sizes want to pay dividends, and this "dividend" is not only to cut off the territory and scrape the land, but also to eat the empty amount and deduct the military salary!

According to the bureaucrats in the Beiyang system at that time, the military salaries and food expenses issued by the War Department were directly handed over to the commanders of each division or mixed brigade, and then distributed by them. Except for a few exceptions, it is impossible for the regiment commanders and battalion commanders below to get ten percent of the military salary from the superiors. Chang Ruiqing is naturally no exception, but his model battalion is directly under the headquarters of the 13th Division, so there are fewer links to the brigade and regiment levels, so he can still get eighty percent of the military salary.

Looking at the establishment table, the model battalion should theoretically have four companies and 12 platoons, including the battalion headquarters, there should be 556 officers and soldiers and more than a dozen men and women, but at present, this model battalion is not yet full of members, and it still owes the establishment of the fourth company, in fact, it is only according to the standard of 439 officers and soldiers to pay eighty percent of the military salary and food expenses, and they can probably receive about 3,600 yuan per month, and they can also settle a double salary at the end of the year. However, not all of them were found in the ocean, half of which were banknotes issued by the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications. In addition, the army's military rations and uniforms are also uniformly distributed above, and the standard is 24 taels (16 taels) of rice per day for each big soldier, and two clothes a year.

As for the weapons and equipment, they are neatly configured according to the standards, the guns are all produced by the Gongxian Arsenal, the condition is very new and the quality is good, but the machine rifle bullets are very strictly controlled, according to the system, the division headquarters directly sends people to send them before each target, and the bullet casings must be handed over after the target, there seems to be not much space, but the bullets of the barge guns issued to the officers are very manageable, probably to facilitate the officers to "suppress" the soldiers, right?

"If you want to bring the soldiers well, you can't do without a money word, and everyone knows what kind of rules other battalions are, so I won't say more. But we can't do that in our model battalion, and if we do the same, it will be impossible to bring out an elite army that is mighty in the world! Without elite soldiers, everyone will have no future at all! ”

Speaking of this, Chang Ruiqing glanced at the people in the room with a solemn gaze, and accentuated his tone: "Now the above is eighty percent of the salary, each soldier should have four yuan and eight cents per month, and I will personally send it to every soldier!" Moreover, there is not a single vacancy in the three companies and nine platoons, and when the time comes, I will talk to each soldier individually one by one. I also hope that you will also talk to each of your soldiers often, remember what their names are, where they are, whether they have parents or brothers in the family, and know if there are any difficulties in their family, and if so, give them a little help...... Although they are all small favors, they can really buy people's hearts! Maybe at the critical moment, people will be willing to do it. However, grace is grace, discipline in the team cannot be relaxed, and training cannot be relaxed in the slightest. ”

"In addition, we also have to take care of the secretary of the team, I recommend Yan Zihao to be the secretary of the model battalion, what do you think?" Saying that, Chang Ruiqing raised his hand and pointed at Yan Hao, a little man from Hunan. He graduated from the third phase of the Baoding Heavy Duties Department, and he was also assigned a second lieutenant platoon commander before, but Chang Ruiqing planned to let him go back to his own post.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, but Yan Hao's face seemed to have some disappointed expressions, Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly and said to Yan Hao: "The secretary is the chief steward of the whole battalion, and this errand is much more important than the platoon commander...... Whether our soldiers can be brought well or not, you, the secretary general, are the key! As he spoke, he lowered his voice a little: "In other battalions, this secretary is definitely a fat shortage, and he can't do it at all if he is not a henchman of the battalion commander, but in our model battalion, the secretary is a chore!" I demand that all the accounts of the battalion secretary and the company secretary must be made public! Every month's expenses for rice and noodles and food expenses must be clearly announced, subject to everyone's supervision, and not a single copper plate can be bad! If there is a balance of food expenses, it will also be distributed to the soldiers according to the head, Zihao, do you understand? ”

Yan Hao snapped upright, patted his chest and said, "Big brother, don't worry!" My Yan Hao's eyes are not so small that I can't afford to pay for my brothers' meals! ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled and nodded. At present, there is probably no quartermaster in all the armies in the country who does not make money, and three yuan of vegetable gold per month can really eat the soldiers' mouths, and I don't know if there is one and a half yuan on average? However, he can still rest assured that this errand is handed over to Yan Hao, this kid is still very decent, and if the supervision is stricter, there should be no big problem.

"Then there is the deputy positions in the model battalion are now empty, I want to arrange some more students to come in, our Baoding students are all excellent officers who have been rigorously trained for many years, and in this world, each one is very precious." Speaking of this, Chang Ruiqing looked at Bai Chongxi and Wu Shi again, and said with a smile: "Deputy battalion commander, who of you will do it?" However, when you become the deputy battalion commander, you have to let the company commander out. ”

Hearing this, Bai Chongxi hurriedly lowered his head and remained silent, where is the deputy battalion commander as powerful as the company commander? Wu Shi saw that Bai Chongxi didn't want to do it, so he smiled: "Then I'll do it." ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled and arched his hand at Wu Shi: "Then from now on, our brothers will help each other and strive to bring out this model camp." Then he thought for a while, and then said: "My company commander naturally can't serve concurrently anymore, so there will be two more vacancies for company commanders, I want Zi Zi and Youlin to fill it, what do you think?" ”

Although Wang Junhao and Zhao Zhen are Chang Ruiqing's second generals, they are also graduates of the third phase of Baoding's infantry department, and they are naturally qualified to be the company commander. In the midst of this relaxed conversation, the relationship between Chang Ruiqing and his ordinary Baoding classmates has quietly changed from classmates to superiors and subordinates, and the financial and military power of this newly baked model battalion has also been firmly grasped by him, and the first step to become a reactionary warlord can be regarded as an official step!
