Chapter 380: Lobbyist and Rank
"Report! Tainan Lord Liu's telegram——"
"Tainan Zhang Zhongtang telegram——"
"Report! Telegram from Lord Zuo of Fuzhou——"
"Report! Zhang Zhongtang sent another telegram——"
……
One telegram after another was sent to the military aircraft and into the Forbidden City. However, it did not alleviate the cold and silent atmosphere of the military aircraft department in the slightest, and the military aircraft division in September was extremely difficult, and several military aircraft Zhang Kyoto wanted to resign from this place called "small military aircraft." How can this be the scene of the treasure land of feng shui in the past?
Every big guy's face can be scraped three or two taels of frost, and he can't finish scraping it once a day!
However, Zhang Shoudai's reputation for 'being loyal to his duties' and loyal to the Qing Dynasty also began throughout September.
And because of Liu Xian's sudden change, Fujian suddenly became nervous. However, Liu Xian did not really rebel before he raised the flag, Zuo Zongtang sent a handwritten letter to Liu Xian three times, and Li Hongzhang in Tianjin also sent someone to send a letter twice, neither of them wanted to see the scene when China fell into war again. He was even more reluctant to start a full-scale war with the Qin army under Liu Xian. Therefore, according to the news from Beijing Station, the Military Aircraft Department has given Zuo Zongtang an order, but the transfer of the Chu army and the transfer of the shipmaster and sailor division have only changed slightly, and the main force remains the same, let alone made any targeted arrangements.
Of course, the same is true of Taiwan, Hainan, Guangxi, and Lianzhou under the command of Qin Jun. Only the embattled Hanzhong has entered a clear state of alert, but the shelf regiment is still a shelf.
"Zhang Zhentai, Liu Hou reversed the general trend with small forces, and it was really self-defeating. Zhentai is a famous general of the country, and he made great achievements in the battle of the Western Expedition that year. Famous all over the world, for me to be a hero of the Qing Dynasty. The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces reminds you of your exploits. Why don't you put things right. Persuade Liu Hou to think twice before acting? Nowadays, the Qing Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and the treasury is sufficient. Xianghuai and Chu have many guards and five armies, many soldiers and generals, and can fight well. There are also Eight Banners New Army and Han Army training in various places, which are ten times that of Liu Houye. Hanzhong, where the town is located, is surrounded on all sides, and if you really want to go all the way to the black, the war will first be subverted by Qingdang, and it is not the work of the wise to insist on doing it. ”
"As long as Zhentai is willing to give orders from the imperial court, he strongly persuades Liu Hou. The post of governor of Shaanxi. It has to be the town. ”
The court lobbyist in front of Zhang Zhongkui in Hanzhong is already the fifth. Zhang Zhongkui still smiled coldly and served tea to the guests. If it weren't for Liu Xian not wanting him to tear his face with the Manchu Qing now, Zhang Zhongkui would already want to make an example.
The same lobbyists also haunted Li Ying's Hanzhong prefect's yamen, and haunted in Hainan Qi Dalin, Liuzhou Zhou Jun, Qinzhou, Lianzhou, and even Hongji City. The target is not only the leading generals of the Qin army, but also some middle-level generals who hold military power.
……
In Yanxi Hall, when the Empress Dowager Cixi listened to Prince Gong's report to Taiwan. His expression is not as angry as he was at the beginning. Zhang Shoudai is still making his last efforts, the telegram says so, but who can believe it?
Fuzhou General Qi Yuan has secretly reported that the shipmaster and sailor have transferred the families of thirteen trainees of the Qin army. All of them are gone. What does this mean? Liu Xian has long been anti-minded.
She didn't have the anger she had when she screamed. The eight words 'those who are not of my race will have different hearts' are engraved in her heart.
"Sue Zhang Shoushan, as long as he can lead the troops to really stand on the side of the imperial court. Mourn the family and protect the future of the Admiral! ”
Xie Jigui and Li Shien continued to woo. As long as they are willing to do it anyway, the mourning family will not lose them a lot. ”
Back to the dormitory. The Empress Dowager Cixi recruited a person, a person sent by the Xi'an general Ronglu.
"Wow!" The visitor responded excitedly. In my heart, I admired the wisdom of my master. Last year, he began to have a relationship with people in Hanzhong, and sure enough, he let the master find a living head.
Hanzhong Mansion City. A military conference of the Qin army system is being held. As the head of the political system, Li Ying was doing it.
The Qin army system only came with battalion-level officers, and these people all nominally carried the name of the city defense battalion.
Before the meeting began, Li Ying nodded with a smile to his old subordinate, the only one with a foothold in the army. Zhang Shoushan, garrison of the Huayang Battalion, deputy commander of the third battalion of the second integrated brigade of the Qin Army.
"Our lordship has already laid the foundation for a fight with the imperial court. In the near future, Hanzhong may be in the midst of war. I am holding this meeting today not for the sake of military arrangements, but to emphasize one point, to emphasize the issue of discipline that our Qin army has always put special emphasis on. This is the foundation of our Qin army's seizure of the world. Don't be disgusted with my mother-in-law, always talk about discipline when you have something to do, because you can't talk about it. There are always people who are violating discipline, intentionally or unintentionally. Now I stress once again that military discipline cannot be violated, and no matter who makes mistakes, including Zhang Zhongkui, they will be punished. In war, it is inevitable to kill people, but it is the enemy who kills. If anyone dares to show a knife on the heads of the common people, I will say it in front, and whoever dares to kill without permission, I will first take his military position. Then the military discipline trial, I will make him pay for his life......"
"Then there is the need to pay attention to the voices of the various places. Look at what those landlords and gentry are planning. They have made a lot of money with us over the years, and they should be people in the same boat, and when they want to jump off the boat when they are desperate, they will give them a meal to eat first.
This matter is led by Master Li, when to do it, and who to target, they all obey orders! ”
Zhang Zhongkui didn't think that his generals dared to betray. Not to mention that the generals of the various armies of the Qin army will be transferred by Liu Xian once in a year or two, and there are no troops that completely belong to them. The master of the army was Liu Xian alone from beginning to end. Let's talk about the momentum and strength of the Qin army, based on the situation in Hanzhong, the army is at least 100,000 horses, and it is not easy to sweep the world under the leadership of Liu Xian?
No one is stupid. The Qin army was a new method of warfare, which was established by standing on the corpse of the old-fashioned method of warfare. It was finally established after no less than 20 large, medium, and small exercises. Every general of the Qin army knew his own combat effectiveness. The Hunan Huai Chuduo and the Janissary Fifth Army may not be inferior to the Qin army in terms of guns and artillery, but in terms of tactics and strategy, the two sides are not of the same grade at all.
Everyone was listening carefully to Zhang Zhongkui's speech. Zhang Shoushan is no exception!
The connection between Hanzhong and Guangxi telegraph lines was only opened in May this year. Zhang Zhongkui's speech here must be what Liu Xian meant. In fifteen years, he led a small group of 200 people to practice, step by step to today's behemoth with more than 100,000 soldiers, and drove how many people became rich at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then there was the entire Hanzhong, the base camp of the Qin army, and how many bereaved families of the Qin army in the past years, regularly and guaranteed the amount of money that belonged to their own families, and the resulting cohesion made the entire Qin army regard Liu Xian as a god. Moreover, Liu Xian also led them to recover the Great Northwest, defeated the Russian Lao Maozi, saved the subject country Vietnam, defeated the French, saved the subject country Ryukyu, and directly destroyed the Japanese capital!
The honor of a soldier is even more rare and will not fade. This thing will be remembered more than money.
Therefore, after Liu Xian's 'anti-righteousness' was exposed, the Qin army quickly counted the original hidden forces, and the result was that the total number of secret troops exceeded 65,000, and less than 1,000 hesitated, and only more than 300 people had already decided to withdraw from the Qin army.
This amount is much less than Liu Xian himself estimated.
"There's another thing I want to tell you about." Zhang Zhongkui picked up a document clip in his hand, opened it and cleared his throat, "Now convey the order of the headquarters——"
"Boom!" With a neat standing voice, everyone, including Li Ying, straightened up and stood up.
"From today onwards, our army will implement a military rank system!"
Recruits in the new barracks are privates, transferred to private class after enlistment, and transferred to private first class after one year of enlistment. Those who have a meritorious service table are counted separately.
The squad leader is a non-commissioned officer, according to the year of service, divided into three classes: corporal, sergeant, and sergeant, and then the sergeant major, the sergeant major can serve for a long time, and it is divided into five grades, and the fifth sergeant major is equivalent to the colonel in the army.
The squad leader is awarded the rank of second lieutenant, the squadron leader is awarded the rank of captain, and the deputy rank is lieutenant.
The captain of the brigade is awarded the rank of major, the battalion commander is awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel, and the regiment commander is awarded the rank of colonel.
The brigade commander was awarded the rank of major general. In the future, there will also be division-level formations and front-level formations.
Above the rank of major general, there will be lieutenant generals, generals and generals, and then the rank of marshal.
"Now the highest rank in our army is major general, and the lieutenant general, general, general, and even marshal, your lordship is waiting for us to make meritorious contributions. Meritorious service is awarded, and promotion is also promotion to military rank.
The General Headquarters also sent a telegram stating that in the future, if anyone has distinguished himself in the war, he will first be organized at the division level. The number of the first division of our Qin army, I, Zhang Zhongkui, are going to be decided.
Guangxi, Hainan, Taiwan, Vietnam, can their shape be as bad as our Hanzhong? The worse this form is, the more opportunities there are for fighting evil battles and making great contributions. Therefore, this first division must be our Hanzhong. ”
Zhang Zhongkui's words made everyone present extremely excited. The name of the 'First Division', no matter how the army changes its tricks, this first name is always the most attractive. It's like the Qin army's 'strongest army in the world'.
"Everyone!" After Zhang Zhongkui, Li Ying then stood up, "Our Qin army came out of Hanzhong. So for us colleagues in Hanzhong, the number of this first division is important or not? ”
"Do you still remember how the Guangxi soldiers buried our Hanzhong over the years? How did you say Vietnam and Japan in front of us? They say let's eat the old book and gnaw the old book. I haven't fought for a few years, and my body has forgotten how to fight! ”
"Can we let this name fall on our heads? This Hanzhong is the source of the Qin army. If Hanzhong is corrupted, will the Qin army still be the Qin army? ”
Li Ying's words are somewhat inappropriate from the perspective of the overall situation. But over the years, he has long been tied to the left-behind troops in Hanzhong. In the future, even if he enters the court, the people who can give him help will not be Fan Debang, Zhou Jun, Xiang Fa, Liu Zhuo, Qi Dalin, but only Zhang Zhongkui!
"This first division is the 'first division in the world' in the future. We've got our hands on it! (To be continued......) R1292
