Chapter 25 Reorganization of the Army
Qin Yu began to reorganize the army after establishing the navy and air force, and now Qin Yu has 120,000 troops, and they are distributed in various places in the four provinces, including the original army and the Qing army that was later absorbed, so it must be reorganized, otherwise sooner or later there will be turmoil.
Qin Yu convened the main force of the army to discuss, and finally decided to adopt the three-three system of later generations to arrange, but there were many changes. After discussion, it was decided that:
At present, three headquarters have been temporarily organized, namely the army headquarters, the air force headquarters, and the navy headquarters, with a total of 10 corps, seven for the army, two for the navy, and one for the air force, each with five divisions under its jurisdiction.
There are about 10 people in the class
Platoon of about 30 people (jurisdiction over three classes)
About 100 people in the company (three platoons + company headquarters + cooking class)
The battalion has about 500 people (three infantry companies + machine gun companies + artillery companies)
The regiment has about 2,500 people (under the jurisdiction of three infantry battalions + artillery battalions + directly under the regiment)
The brigade has about 4,500 people (under the jurisdiction of four infantry battalions + tank battalion + 3 artillery battalions + 3 support battalions + directly under the brigade)
Division 10,000-12,000 people (under the jurisdiction of 2 infantry regiments + artillery regiment + armored regiment + air defense regiment + division directly under the division)
The navy is divided into five units: surface ship units, submarine units, naval aviation units, naval coastal defense units, and marine corps, and the military uniforms are mainly white and black.
The army is divided into infantry, artillery, anti-aircraft guns, communications troops, armored troops, engineering troops and other services.
The Air Force is divided into Air Force Aviation, Ground Air Defense Forces, Airborne Forces and other military branches, and the military uniforms are mainly dark blue.
Due to Qin Yu's current insufficient conditions, he did not establish too many arms, and had to wait for later development to expand the classification of arms and streamline the army.
After Qin Yu's reorganization, the number of troops reached more than 500,000, and now Qin Yu only has 120,000 troops, so Qin Yu decided to recruit a large number of troops in East China until it was full, in addition to this, Qin Yu also had to separate the intelligence department, and the intelligence department was directly controlled by Qin Yu. Qin Yu is preparing to recruit militia for future expansion, probably recruiting 300,000 militiamen, and training hundreds of thousands of policemen.
In order to simplify the complicated military positions of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Qin Yu directly copied the military ranks of later generations and set them as 6 ranks and 18 levels: marshal, general, general, lieutenant general, and major general; Colonels, Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels, Majors; captain, lieutenant, ensign; sergeant, sergeant, corporal; Private of the upper ranks, private privates, and privates, these ranks will be used in the army, navy and air force.
After a series of discussions, the general manager determined that Qin Yu's military rank was marshal, Jiang Fangzhen was general, and Chen Fu was all winners, and a series of military ranks would be given corresponding military ranks according to the military duke, the navy's Sa Bingzhen was a major general, and the navy and the air force had not yet fought, so the navy temporarily transitioned to a corresponding position according to the original Qing military position before the change of banner, and the military rank had to wait until after meritorious service.
Qin Yu also announced that after the soldiers are discharged, the government will help them find employment, and the families of the sacrificed soldiers will be guaranteed by the government and respected by the society, and each compensation of more than ten acres of fertile land and pay a huge fee to his family, all the consumption of his family members will be discounted by seven, but there is a limit, and the cost of the discount will be paid by the government; In the end, the disabled soldiers will receive more than five acres of land and a huge fee; The monthly salary will be paid on time, and it is forbidden for the superior officer to deduct the soldier's salary for any improper reason, and it will be found that no matter how big the military position, he will be directly deprived of the right to serve as a soldier permanently; All officers are not allowed to specialize, and they will eat the same food as soldiers; The salary uses a progressive system, the larger the military rank, the greater the salary, the corresponding military rank corresponds to the corresponding military rank, and so on.
Qin Yu began to announce the decision after finishing this, and indicated that the government would build a huge monument in the center of Nanjing to commemorate the sacrificed soldiers, and the name of each sacrificed soldier would be permanently engraved into the monument for future generations to admire; A martyr's cemetery will also be established on the outskirts of Nanjing, where the soldiers who died will be laid to rest, and every year the Qingming government and army will come to pay respects to the soldiers who have done their best for the country and the nation.
The announcement of the monument and the martyrs' cemetery caused a huge storm among the soldiers and the people, and the soldiers were in tears, no one ever thought about these soldiers, the soldiers died and they were just a piece of loess, no one would know except their families, but now it will not be, the government actually gave these sacrificed soldiers a huge honor, and the current soldiers can be said to be absolute support for the East China government, and some also shouted Long live Qin Yu. The people are divided into two factions, one row is supportive, and feels that soldiers should be treated like this; One faction is dominated by those talents and masters, thinking that they should re-write the text, which is the beginning of the military and the dilapidation, so they are very unhappy, in fact, they are all poisoned by the idea of what kind of agricultural and industrial ranking, and they look down on the soldiers in their hearts.
Qin Yucai didn't care what they said, he decided to do it. The four provinces began to recruit a large number of young people, and a large number of young people defected to the army, and it was full in less than ten days, and it was still very strict, otherwise it would be full in one day, and then the militia and the police also began to recruit people, and the four provinces were talking about this conscription everywhere.
The most important thing is that Qin Yu gives a very high salary, and the treatment is good, and I heard that there is rice and meat to eat at every meal, so more people will apply.
Qin Yu's great conscription frightened the Wuhan Revolutionary Army and Yuan Shikai in Beijing also hurriedly began to conscript, for fear that Qin Yu would come to destroy himself after the conscription, and the overseers of the provinces also began to conscript, making the whole of China smell of gunpowder stronger than the Balkan Peninsula.
After the conscription, Qin Yu began to transfer a large number of troops to the protective line, and the Wuhan Revolutionary Army and Yuan Shikai also frantically transferred troops to the protective line to confront Qin Yu's soldiers.
Qin Yu trained a large number of recruits for two months and then let them go to the bandits and bandits in the four provinces to practice, and began to exterminate bandits and bandits in an all-round way.
In these two months, Sun Dacang successfully returned to Wuhan, and then contacted the revolutionary army to establish the Republic of China, but only Liangguang, Fujian, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Yunnan, Shaanxi, and Sichuan recognized the existence of the Republic of China, and Yan Xishan in Shanxi was between the Wuhan government and the Qing government.
The rest of the Northeast, Inner and Outer Mongolia and Xinjiang, Gansu, Rehe, Fengtian, Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Tibet, and Qinghai were under the control of the Qing government, and it can also be said that they were under the control of the Beiyang Army.
The current China can be said to be a three-legged stand, of course, except for Shanxi, the Qing government is arguing with the Wuhan government about who is the master of China, and Qin Yu is watching these two strange people snickering on the side. The Qing government clamored every day for Yuan Shikai to send troops to exterminate the Wuhan government and the East China government, but Yuan Shikai was always looking for a reason not to send troops, while tightening his control and power, and at the same time digging up the old capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty with insufficient military spending.
