Chapter 234 The whole army and Li Hongzhang's borrowing of troops
In the next ten days, Yang Hao was busy dealing with the aftermath of the war. Although with the help of Cai Qu and other landowners, it is very smooth to solve all kinds of problems in the county, and it is more troublesome when it comes to the boundaries of Haizhou, Qingzhou, and Laizhou.
Haizhou, in particular, is simply another province. There was no direct relationship with the Yang family before, and if you want to say joint and several liability, the Yang family wants to deny them.
However, Yang Hao does not intend to do that kind of thing, the so-called crisis crisis, the danger of seemingly troublesome often contains the opportunity to forge ahead. The surrounding states and counties, after all, are still somewhat influenced by the Yang family, and most of the people in this county know about them.
Therefore, after the public sacrifice, he immediately ordered people to announce to the Quartet that the loss of houses and property caused by the war could come to the Yang family to discuss compensation. All in all, if the house burns down, either give you money or build a new one.
It's a bit of nonsense to say how much valuable things have been lost. They are not rich landlords, they are basically poor ordinary people who can't eat a bowl of rice, and all their belongings don't add up to a few taels of silver.
There are many people who plan to take the opportunity to open their mouths and gather crowds to extort some benefits or something. In this regard, Yang also has a word in advance - if you are good at talking, give money, give a house, and give a job. If you want to engage in crooked and evil ways, you will be severely punished!
This may seem overbearing, but it is very effective. Most of the wealthy merchants and squires in the surrounding counties have indirect business dealings with the Yang family, and they are also hoping to get the project support of Yanhua Commercial Bank and build a factory to make a lot of money. Just looking at the little interests in front of you and fighting with the Yang family? That's a broken head.
What is surprising is that Zhang Peilun is also abnormal. Be proactive in helping. With him from the three grades of serious court officials. The world's most famous leader of the clear stream. Li Hongzhang's son-in-law and other nobles with multiple identities, no one dares not to give face wherever he goes. Even the Qing army banner camp that had already arrived in Yishui did not dare to run over and stab. Yizhou Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion even sent people to ask for warmth and help, and properly settled the matter.
A few days later, Yang Hao simply freed his hands, which made him a little incomprehensible.
The old fritter Qiu Baoren pointed out the key points: "Master Zhang has just been reinstated." It is precisely to make meritorious achievements and stabilize his official position, and God has given him such a good opportunity to give full play to his strengths, as long as he handles various affairs properly, he will definitely be able to win praise from the whole court. At that time, it will be okay to transfer to one party or enter the house. ”
"I'm cāo, I've been doing it for a long time just to be an official!"
Yang Hao understands it, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, people are just to brush up on their political achievements and show their sense of existence. Make an official voice and accumulate advanced merit points. It has nothing to do with whether or not to help him. Even if after a while, his Yang family rebelled. From beginning to end, what Master Zhang did was just to appease the refugees and calm down the incident, and maybe it could be rendered as "winning the hearts of the people for the imperial court and preventing the Yang family from plotting against him", and made great contributions.
There are two mouths of official characters, not to mention a pen of Qingliu, which can be described as white by black, and can be created out of nothing, which is even more beneficial than the immortal void creation.
He was completely speechless for this kind of person. But I have to admire, this official is not ordinary!
He simply threw the matter to Zhang Peilun and tossed it casually, anyway, it was his own people who paid the money to negotiate compensation, and it was impossible for him to be fooled by the surname Zhang.
Looking back, Yang Hao concentrated on preparing for many military affairs.
Here in the shipyard, without Zhang Peilun's restraint and trouble, the speed of progress immediately accelerated. After nearly a month of training, the more than 100 workers transferred from Lushun, Dagu, Jiangnan and even Fujian basically learned simple welding techniques. Subsequently, some of them were transferred to another workshop, and in the name of "training", together with Yang's shipbuilders, worked overtime to complete the sectional manufacturing of four thousand-ton gunboats.
Derived from the gunboat designed by Liu Fatzi, the structure and segmentation take care of the average level of welders as much as possible. In this world, the various parts and components purchased from the ship plate cut directly from the number jù of the first ship are processed here according to the gourd drawing scoop.
They have only taken a little progress compared with the contemporary riveted shipbuilding technology, that is, the road of sectional construction-pre-outfitting-pre-painting, rather than the sectional construction, regional outfitting, regional painting, and even the integration of brightness, outfitting and coating like modern shipbuilding.
Although the speed of this work will be much slower, it greatly ensures that there will not be too many problems under the general conditions of the current level of shipbuilders.
With the addition of such a large group of skilled workers, the speed of the construction of the four gunboats increased again.
However, the refit work of the two Beiyang warships was carried out by a group of newly trained apprentices, starting from groping for the dismantling of the superstructure and cutting the deck, and slowly and steadily, step by step.
Those things are naturally in charge of Yang Haiwei and Jiao Hai. Yang Hao himself gathered all the troops and determined the structure of the first regimental establishment through selection.
In accordance with the principle of the three-three system, the squad, platoon, company, and battalion from the bottom to the top are all composed of three units. In addition, they are equipped with fire squads, platoons, companies, and artillery battalions with heavy weapons.
The squad of the smallest unit remained ten people, with a two-person light machine gun crew, PKM using a bipod. Two four-person combat teams, led by the chief and deputy squad leaders. The soldiers were all armed with Mosinagan carbines (Type 53 rifles), as well as 4-6 Type 67 wooden-handled grenades. The squad leader generally had a Bobosha submachine gun, and a brother of the 54 pistol, the Yugoslav M57 pistol with a 9-round magazine. This is also a defensive weapon for the Heavy.
The deputy squad leader can choose between a submachine gun or a Nagant rifle capable of firing grenades.
In this way, the bullet caliber required for all light and heavy firepower is unified into 7.62x54r and 7.62x25. The power is completely sufficient in this era, and the key is the weapon derived from the Maozi bloodline, which is stupid and coarse black to produce and easy to maintain. For example, the Bobosha submachine gun, the barrel is simply a Mosina dry cut in half. It is also simple and convenient to use, and it is most suitable for the current army that has just changed from illiterate to job.
The fire squad was armed with two PKS heavy machine guns using tripods. and two 40 bazooka / RPG7 rockets.
The firepower platoon was reinforced with two 12.7mm heavy machine guns. However, at the current level of logistics. More strict means more trouble. Therefore, when going out to fight. It still depends on the needs of the battle, or it will be replaced by PKS for the time being. Anyway, these days, there are no armored units or anything like that, and a large group of new machine gunners, given them 12.7mm bullets, he can't shoot farther.
In addition, the fire platoon had two groups of four 60mm mortars, as well as two 82 recoilless guns.
One platoon, six guns. Six rocket launchers, nine grenades, and a large number of grenades carried by individual soldiers, this firepower was a perversion for the army of the late nineteenth century!
The firepower company is even more powerful, with three platoons of nine 82mm mortars, plus four heavy machine guns, which can already cover targets within a radius of five kilometers under light loading, and the ammunition delivery capacity has far exceeded the strength of the Japanese brigade by several times.
Artillery battalion. It's simply a company of six 100mm mortars, and a company of six 75 mountain guns/field guns. plus a company of nine 105mm recoilless guns, plus a number of transport vehicles. In addition, there was a company of large-caliber heavy machine guns.
And this is still standard equipment, depending on the combat mission, it can be flexibly updated to two 75 artillery batteries, or even strengthened to a powerful formation with a 105mm camel-borne howitzer!
With such a rigorous and thorough combat unit structure, coupled with the various configurations of the regimental headquarters, the number of officers required is 280, and the total number of personnel in the whole regiment has reached an astonishing 3,000!
Basically, this firepower structure is enough to support several years without worrying about falling behind. Even until World War II was enough -- of course, military innovation is the most uncertain. As long as one person shows amazing strength, the rest of the countries will soon follow, at most, the equipment production technology is not good, artillery density and machine guns, but it will definitely soar in advance because of Yang's stock.
Regiment-level units are exceptionally critical organizational nodes, and even if they are expanded into divisions and armies in the future, it will still depend on each regiment to complete the combat deployment in the end.
In order to make up for this group, Yang Hao was very worried.
There is no need to worry about weapons, the arsenal at the Masan base can now produce all kinds of weapons and ammunition needed today. Basically, in the case of preliminary processing of various parts in this world in advance, this is the last step of boring the barrel rifling, plus assembly.
The point is the officers, at least 280 officers, and that's not just a random person who can be competent. The first group of people in the first company now basically play the role of the commander of the platoon company; The civilian and staff personnel are from young revolutionary and progressive scholars, and they are still studying.
At the level of battalion commander and company commander, it is really difficult to find those who are qualified.
Even with the personal training of the Yang family's father and son, there is only Liu Yong available now, and he was appointed to lead a battalion of veterans. Yang Hao himself is also the commander of the second battalion, and as for the third battalion, it is reserved for Shi Jianfei, who is still preparing for a big battle with Ma Yukun. And Shi Jianfei's main position is the chief of staff of the regiment.
The commander of the artillery battalion put Zhu Maolin, the former commander of the firepower company, in charge, and whether he can pass or not depends on his performance.
On the contrary, the basic soldiers do not need to worry about their prima. All of them have gone through at least two months of modern military training, the 1,000 backbone people have been baptized in at least three battles, and the recruits have now seen bloody battles, and they can stand the test in all aspects. Pulling it out is definitely a powerful force that should not be underestimated.
After the reorganization of the whole regiment was completed, the newly appointed officers at all levels immediately plunged into intense combined training, and there were many things that needed to be straightened out by combining the old with the new.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of venues, the training camp at the Mashan base, the training ground at the shipyard and the naval dock, and the engineering site at Qingdao are all enough for them to play.
It's just that Yang Hao didn't get much time to complete the integration. Only ten days later, an urgent telegram was sent - Li Hongzhang planned to ask Yang Hao to borrow troops! (To be continued......)
