Chapter 327: Reorganization and Continued Expansion of the Army (II)

(New books for collections, recommended votes, please, please!) Your attention is the motivation for my writing, thank you! )

A series of shocks, all the soldiers in Guangzhou were conquered, even those who were once the elite of Guangdong, some of them have seen the power of the Mawei Army's artillery fire, and now they really have no temper at all, on the contrary, they are about to become the Mawei Army, with such sharp weapons and feel faint expectations.

Before Geng Jingzhong's order arrived in Guangzhou, the Mawei Army insisted on exercising for a short time, and these soldiers did not let them idle. Reducing the training intensity of the Mawei Army soldiers by more than half and allowing these soldiers to start training as well, Jiang Dehong, the commander of the Second Division, was also relatively smart, thinking that Geng Jingzhong might not send all of them to mine, and besides, there were not so many mines in Fujian that could continue to place prisoners and soldiers. Their Mawei Navy can reorganize a large number of pirates, so it is logical to reorganize these soldiers in this extraordinary period.

Facts have proved that his idea is right, what he has done here will definitely reach Geng Jingzhong's ears in the future, so that Geng Jingzhong, the Metropolitan Governor, will not praise him for his long-term vision? It will definitely be able to leave an excellent impression in the heart of the Metropolitan Governor Geng Jingzhong. As soon as the order from Mawei arrived, Jiang Dehong officially began the reorganization work. Zeng Yangxing had already boarded the ship with most of the artillery divisions and the infantry of the Marine Army, and he was now the supreme commander who remained in Guangzhou, and he was fully responsible for the affairs of Guangzhou.

According to Geng Jingzhong's order, Jiang Dehong immediately issued an order for the reorganization of the army. However, there are three main points that must be implemented in the entire reorganization work, the first of which is the first point. The Mawei army is different from the original army of King Pingnan. Generals in the army are never allowed to have private soldiers. Therefore, all units must be reorganized by the Mawei Army. The second is that when the new army is reorganized, these soldiers will not matter what official positions they held in the army, but in the process of reorganization, they will be hired according to their qualifications, and those who are capable will be promoted, those who are mediocre will be let go, and those who are mediocre will be demoted, and they will all rely on their own ability and will never be biased.

The third is the most important. Soldiers regard obedience to orders as their duty, and this is something that the Mawei Army has long put forward and implemented, and the soldiers are reorganized into the Mawei Army, so it is necessary to respect the military discipline of the Mawei Army, and those who violate discipline must be engaged in military law, and there is absolutely no protection or protection. With these three at once, the subordinate units instantly became the reserve army of the Mawei Army, and they were about to undergo more formal training, and then re-test, and finally those who met the standard could become full-fledged soldiers. If he fails to meet the standard a few times, he can only be sent home with a little severance pay!

The soldiers, especially the officers in the former army, couldn't help but be surprised when they received the notice, and these policies of the Mawei Army were quite harsh for them. It is tantamount to depriving them of all their troops, and they are completely equal to ordinary soldiers. It's certain that someone will make trouble, and it's understandable to vent their frustrations. But Jiang Dehong didn't have time to talk nonsense with these people, and whoever jumped out was deprived of a position in the army and sent him home directly. In this way, the soldiers suddenly all quieted down,

The Mawei Army did not blindly suppress this matter by force, and also sent many staff officers to explain to these Guangzhou soldiers. Since their Mawei Army came into the army, it can be said that it is invincible and invincible, and the reason is that the whole army is united and cooperative, well-trained, strict military discipline, and clear rewards and punishments. Therefore, no matter who wants to become a qualified horsetail warrior, these are the most basic conditions.

Several heavily guarded places in Guangdong are also undergoing reorganization and training, and the four cities on the border between Guangdong and Guangxi have also been taken over by the new army of the Mawei Army, which has been reorganized from the escort force, while the others have begun to concentrate on reorganization and training. After the first round of initial selection, only 18,000 of the 23,000 people in the Guangdong army remained, and a full 5,000 people were eliminated. These people can all meet the words old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are completely unqualified in the physical fitness test, which is too far behind.

The eighteen thousand left behind are all veterans, and the rules in the army do not need to be taught in detail. However, the system of the Mawei Army is very different from the original system, many details are more stringent, and the training intensity is also large, which makes these "recruits" who have just been trained complain!

In addition to these hardships, they also have happy things. The standard meal of the sergeants of the Mawei Army was meat every day, which they could not have imagined. Although there is only a supply of two and a half halves of meat a day, they are also surprised. There is also a dry meal every day, and the food is enough, which subverts their cognition. Is there an army in the world that is so well treated? According to the old Mawei Army sergeant, after becoming a qualified official member of the Mawei Army, there is still a salary of two or five cents per month, which is paid regularly every three months, and there is no such thing as deducting military salaries. In addition, there are preferential treatment policies for military dependents, etc., all of which should be learned slowly by gathering the soldiers of the whole battalion in addition to training.

What are they soldiers for? It's not just that you can eat enough and get some money to feed the whole family. Look at the treatment of the Ponytail Army, and then compare yourself, it is simply like the difference between a beggar and a rich man. Look at the military uniforms on other people's bodies, compare them with your own, how many years have you not issued a new military uniform? It's been like this for so many years, and I haven't even seen a new coat again. Now that they have the opportunity to eat meat every day, and they can also let their families eat meat with them, they are all red-eyed, and their spirits have obviously doubled several times.

The two flowers bloom and each has a branch, and the reorganization and training work in Guangdong is in full swing, and the recruitment of the new army in Fujian is also going quite smoothly. The recruitment of troops in Fujian is also very smooth in all prefectures and counties. Each town has set up a special recruitment point, and the first stage is to accept these young and strong applicants, of course, literacy is preferred, and school graduates are preferred.

A total of 200 recruiting stations have been set up in Fujian's eight prefectures and 40 counties, and the task of each recruiting station is to recruit 150 people, so that the total number is just 30,000. Most of the recruiting stations are set up in Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou along the coast, and these three provinces occupy half of the share, but who makes these three places the most populous, because several plains in Fujian are in these three provinces, so the total number of the five inland provinces is about the same as that of these three provinces.

Geng Jingzhong also inspected the basic recruitment station in Fuzhou, but the popularity of the scene still greatly exceeded his expectations. There were only 150 people in each recruiting station, but the number of people who signed up was more than 1,000, and no one in the young men listened to the old saying that "a good man is not a soldier, but he is not a nail", and even the elders of the family were very much in favor of them coming to apply. The conditions of the Mawei Army are good, and the combat power is strong, not to mention anything else, as evidenced by the fact that there has been no bandit in Fujian in recent years. The pirates at sea were also wiped out, and the coastal inhabitants lived in peace and contentment, a precedent for centuries. The most important thing is the changes that Geng Jingzhong has brought to Fujian over the years, and their lives are much better than before!

Now in Fujian, becoming a soldier of the Mawei Army has also become the most important thing for the children of Fujian to do, not only for those treatments, but for more opportunities to get ahead in the Mawei Army. The policy of promotion based on military merits implemented by the Mawei Army is the best proof that there has never been a trace of injustice in these years, and many ordinary sergeants have been promoted to squad leaders, squadron leaders, brigade captains, and even battalion commanders by virtue of their military merits! The military rank is rising, and of course, the salary is also rising.

became an officer, and it was a flat-headed family that had never produced an official in eight lifetimes, so you can imagine what kind of shock and excitement it was. And this qiē was seen by the neighbors, how could they not be jealous. China, in the final analysis, is still an official. In the standard system, the people have a natural sense of fear when they see the officials, and now their children can also have this opportunity, so how can they give up lightly!

The preferential treatment policy for military dependents of the Mawei Army also reflected his greatest power at this time, and the families of the most ordinary sergeants could enjoy a nine-percent discount on the market price in the store pù under the former Jingnan Palace, and the higher the official position, the greater the discount. I don't think I think I buy a little something, but if I buy more, the difference will come out. And the sergeant's family has to eat food all year round, and it is a lot of money in a year, and it is already a great discount to save one percent! What's more, if it is a soldier who has made meritorious contributions, the Mawei Army will not only award the Medal of Honor, but also have a commendation pennant in the family, and the whole family will be glorious!

All these factors are combined, and the popularity of the recruiting station is understandable. This is just when the registration is already so lively, and when it comes to the day of the real assessment, I am afraid that it will detonate the whole city! This is not the first time that the Mawei Army has carried out the recruitment process, and even so, the staff is still busy.

Among all these young men who were recruited, the most advantageous ones were those who served as soldiers in the Mawei Army. The families of the officers and men of the Mawei Army have special feelings for the Mawei Army, and every time the officers and men of the Mawei Army take a vacation, they will also ask their children to strengthen their exercise at home, although it is not in accordance with the standards in the army, but it is also a strict requirement. The officers and men in the army all knew that their Mawei Army would have to recruit soldiers sooner or later, but they couldn't control the specific time. But as long as it is recruitment, the Mawei Army has always implemented the best of the best, and you will only be accepted if you can meet the standards of the Mawei Army, otherwise you will not be discussed.

These military families, or the brothers, nephews, and nephews of close relatives in the village, have also developed a good physique in the training accumulated for several years, and it is basically not a problem to meet the selection standards of the Mawei Army. And this time they really waited for the recruitment, and as soon as they passed, they basically grabbed more than half of the 30,000 shares. (To be continued......)
