In order to increase the strength of this mixed brigade of the Guards Division, Lin Mailan also specially gave them most of the 1858 Linde rear-loading rifles in the Guards Division system, making this mixed brigade the second unit to use the 1858 Linde rear-loading rifles on a large scale in addition to the Sixth Army.

As for the candidate for the brigade commander of the mixed brigade of the Guards Division, Lin Mailan himself was also thinking about whether to go in person, and there were many people in the field army staring, but Lin Zhe bypassed the others and directly appointed an inaccessible Lin Wei as the brigade commander, and also promoted him to major general of the army.

This makes many people envious and jealous of Lin Wei, the new major general, and at the same time very curious, damn it, this person came out of there, why haven't I heard much about it before!

However, when I inquired in detail, they all closed their mouths, why?

Because they found out that this Lin Wei and Lin Zhe have the same great-grandfather, that is to say, this Lin Linwei is a member of the Lin family.

Lin Zhe's Lin family has a thin bloodline, Lin Zhe himself is a single lineage of two generations, Lin Zhe has no brothers, and the only cousin who can be regarded as a cousin is Lin Lan, who is separated by two generations, and these two have the same great-grandfather.

In addition to Lin Lan, there are many other distant relatives, Lin Zhe's grandfather's area is three brothers, except for the thin bloodline of Changfang, the others are quite luxuriant, as for the longer ones, there are more, strictly speaking, the people in the Lin family village in this Yuyao old family are all his Lin Zhe's distant relatives, in the past, when Lin Zhe did not join the army, there were many relatives in the Lin family business house Lin work.

However, outside three generations, no one will say that they are Lin Zhe's relatives, they can only say that they have the same ancestor and the same surname.

After Lin Zhe established the Yu Sheng Army. When he entered politics with the army, many clansmen began to take refuge in him at that time, especially in the past two or three years, and even more people have taken refuge in him.

However, there are not many people who come to join him in the army, many of them enter the political circles, or go to the palace office to work, especially the royal industry.

It is estimated that there are only a dozen or so in the army. And Lin Wei is the one who really has military talent and can get up and enter Lin Zhe's field of vision in just two or three years.

Although Lin Zhe and Lin Wei's kinship is no longer far away, they can barely be regarded as distant cousins, and more importantly, Lin Zhe currently needs a person with royal status to control part of the power in the military, especially in the Guards division system.

At this time, Lin Wei appeared, and showed acceptable military talent, and he was not able to climb to the position of colonel in the army under Lin Zhe's deliberate support in the past two or three years. It shows that he is not incompetent.

Although he was only a student in the first phase of the Suiying Academy, and his qualifications were worse than that of the predecessors in the first and second phases, he was a student in the third phase of the Suiying Academy who graduated in 1855, which was much better than the fourth, fifth, and sixth phases in the later periods.

It was not easy for a talent to emerge in his own family that seemed to be cultivable, and Lin Zhe naturally would not abandon it.

Lin Zhe is not a person who likes nepotism, not to mention that he does not have any feelings with the so-called family members in this time and space. He used these clansmen. In particular, a few clan relatives should be withdrawn to be cultivated and reused later. Or for the sake of loyalty.

Unlike ordinary ministers and generals, their glory and wealth were certainly rewarded to them by Lin Zhe, but the reason why Lin Zhe rewarded them with glory and wealth was to rely on his own efforts and talents, and today in 1858, the civil officials who can enter the cabinet and become Xinjiang ministers or the senior generals who can lead an army and a division in the military to fight. Their status did not fall from the sky.

Outsiders may have seen Shi Qingxuan's illustrious power in today's Chinese Empire, but few people go back to think that he followed Lin Zhe to join the army when Lin Zhe first founded the Yongying in Yuyao County, and was one of the earliest company commanders under Lin Zhe, and when Lin Zhe raised the flag in 1856. He planned relevant plans with Lin Chengfei and Xu Yanqing, and personally pushed Lin Zhe to the throne of the emperor.

In addition to these dragon skills, he is also a talented general, not to mention winning battles and the like, but he has no precedent, and even Lin Zhe can't give him too many hints, he has trained the Sixth Army, and at the same time, he has also tested many tactics suitable for rear-loading rifle combat, scattering formations, leaping forward and charging and other tactics are all things he has figured out.

The infantry tactics taught in the Army Military Academy today, especially the tactical strategies related to rear-loading rifles, were all written by Shi Qingxuan when he was training the Sixth Army.

With opportunities, hard work, and his own talents, these have laid the foundation for Shi Qingxuan's glory and wealth today, the first person in the Chinese army, and the first marquis of the empire.

To put it bluntly, the glory and wealth of others are certainly given by Lin Zhe, but more factors are earned by themselves.

But the so-called royal family is different, even if they work hard, but others will think that they rely on the convenience of blood.

For example, Lin Lan, who works in the palace affairs department, he is not bad in the palace affairs department, and he can even be said to be outstanding, and his own talent is not bad, but outsiders still have a lot of criticism of his viscount title.

Today's Lin Wei is the same, even if he has only used it for less than three years today, without the help of Lin Zhe or his imperial status, he has been promoted from a newly graduated second lieutenant rookie to a colonel, which is enough to surpass many of his peers and even predecessors.

He is talented, if he is not talented, Lin Zhe will not even look at him, let alone put him on the training list.

But even if he was talented, when outsiders learned that he had been appointed the first commander of the Guards Mixed Brigade, promoted to major general, and awarded the title of baron, almost everyone would simply ignore his efforts and talent in the past two or three years, and focus only on one specific aspect of his status, that is, he was an imperial prince.

Whether he wants it or not, in the eyes of outsiders, he is the royal family, he is a person who receives special preferential treatment, and those who receive special preferential treatment are always easy to arouse the envy of others. In the same way, his status and special appointment would make the other generals of the military think that he was the eye of the emperor sent to the army to monitor them. As a result, those ordinary generals will maintain a certain boundary with him, and will exclude him from the mainstream of the military.

In the end, whether he wants it or not, he will rely more and more on the identity of 'imperial prince', and finally completely fall to the royal family, well, in exchange or to Lin Zhe.

And a high-ranking general who can only rely on the royal family and cannot get the help of his colleagues in the army is Lin Zhe's ideal commander of the Guards Division.

There are many ways to employ people, and the more effective one is to first let the surrounding environment reject him, make him desperate for the outside world, and then save him, so that he has nothing to rely on except you.

And as an emperor, as a ruler, he can do nothing, but he can't not use people, and Lin Zhe's ways of employing people are varied, but the most is to promise a lot of profits, you want a high-ranking official, I can give it to you, if you want to be famous through the ages, I can also give it to you, if you want to do some good things for the country and the people, I can also give it to you, even if you want to die, I can also provide you with a beam.

Benefits have different meanings for different people, but for Lin Zhe, it is very simple, it is nothing more than satisfying some of their **, no matter what type of ** these ** are, good or bad.

Profiteering, desire!

Of course, in many cases, it is useless to rely on the lure of interests alone, and occasionally you have to knock and knock, which is the so-called grace and power!

For some of the few more important people, they have to play a small trick and create some specific environment to achieve their own goals.

For this Lin Wei, Lin Zhe used some small means, if he wanted to train ordinary generals, he would let Lin Wei be gradually promoted step by step, frequent transfers, and all departments went through it, so that he could accumulate enough experience and qualifications, and finally be promoted smoothly at every step of the promotion, until finally he naturally grew into a senior general or even a big man in the military.

However, for Lin Wei, Lin Zhe used the method of pulling out seedlings to help him, Lin Wei was just a student of the third phase, so he became a major general of the army? How can you make many of the seniors in the first phase embarrassed, and you haven't fought a few battles, which has earned a noble badge, what do you think of the many generals above the rank of major general in the military, although they are not as good as those generals who are in the limelight, but one by one they have risen by virtue of their military achievements, we have not yet won the title of nobleman, why did you Lin Wei get the title of baron?

Then people will naturally put on Lin Wei's identity, not to mention 100% of the follow-up development, but Lin Zhe estimates that he will not deviate too much from his expectations, even if it deviates slightly, it is a big deal to turn it back to its original position.

Lin Wei wanted to do it or not, he had to follow the path Lin Zhe arranged for him!

Arrange Lin Wei to be the brigade commander of the Guards Mixed Brigade, this is just a small daily routine of Lin Zhe and many subordinates intrigue every day, after Lin Zhe was appointed, he met Lin Wei according to the usual practice, and after having lunch with him, he just let go of this matter.

Lin Wei was left alone to face the almost complete stranger Guards Mixed Brigade and a group of military colleagues who looked at him with suspicion, envy, and extreme waiting.

Not to mention Lin Wei, when Lin Zhe mobilized many troops into southern Anhui, the Military Training Department also proposed that as some troops fell into southern Anhui, since the Ninth and Nineteenth Auxiliary Defense Divisions could be used as the main force, they could not always use the same set as the original auxiliary defense division, and the missing officers would have to be filled.

And the vacancies of many officers need to be filled, whether to let the military academy expand the scale of winter enrollment! (To be continued......)
