Chapter 42 Establishment of the official system

Zeng Guofan received an edict from Xianfeng, and the edict said: Zeng Guofan, the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was originally from Xiangxiang, heard of his great talent, and he must be familiar with the local people in Hunan.

Zeng Guofan took the edict and found Luo Zenan, Liu Rong, Wang Zhu, Li Xubin and others who were close to him.

Li Xubin said excitedly after reading the handbook: "Now it's okay, we can handle the group training justifiably." ”

Luo Zenan read the edict carefully, experienced it for a moment, shook his head and said: "The emperor still opposes the establishment of local armed forces that are not under the control of the imperial court, and the squires donate money for the regimental training, so they can not obey the orders of the government and be controlled by the squire. ”

Zeng Guofan confidently said: "The Hong bandits lost under the city of Changsha and wandered to Hubei, I heard that they were collecting ships in Jingzhou and planning to go west into Sichuan. ”

Wang Zhu (zhen) said with a smile: "I think at that time, the emperor will also turn a blind eye and recognize the Hunan army." ”

Zeng Guofan looked at Luo Zenan, Wang Ju, and Li Xubin respectively and said: "After a few people go back, they will bring some of the villagers to Changsha, and I plan to train three battalions with a total of 1,000 people. ”

Several people kept nodding, Luo Zenan was highly respected, he was the teacher of several people, and the camp management belt was expected by everyone.

If there was a disturbance among the hungry people, Wang Ju invited the people from his hometown to use military methods to reorganize and train them a little, and pretended to be officers and soldiers to bluff and deceive the hungry people.

Not to mention, Li Xubin personally recruited 200 villagers, taught them the art of joint attack, and cooperated with Jiang Zhongyuan to suppress Li Yuan's uprising.

Jingzhou, the garrison of the Taiping Army

Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing sat opposite each other, looking at the letters on the table, with a look of jealousy.

Yang Xiuqing gritted his teeth and said: "I have long seen that Li Yunzhong's kid is ambitious, and giving Changsha to us is harboring evil intentions, he is asking us to drag the Qing demon so that we can take the opportunity to go north, but I didn't expect that now he will enter Nanjing." ”

Hong Xiuquan's mind was full of the beauties and treasures of Nanjing City, and he said enviously: "He can enjoy happiness, if it were me, I would have to soak in the palace all day to enjoy happiness."

Yang Xiuqing shook his head and said: "Now that Hubei has been deployed with heavy troops, Henan heard that there are tens of thousands of Qing demon horses, and we have to take a boat to the west to fight Sichuan." ”

"These things, Xiuqing, you can decide for yourself." Hong Xiuquan Road.

……

Since Li Yunzhong captured Nanjing, he has been busy organizing and training the army, and the wise saying in his heart: power comes out of the barrel of a gun. Li Yunzhong will never allow others to have a higher influence in the army than him. After dividing the organization, Li Yunzhong convened the first military meeting in Nanjing and appointed the commander of the unit.

Li Yunzhong saw that everyone had arrived, sent the compilation form in his hand and said without being verbose: "Now our Han army has a total of 58,000 people, divided into 6 armies, and I will announce the commanders of each army and division."

The First Army was the Praetorian Guard, defending Nanjing (Li Yunzhong changed Jiangning to Nanjing), and was organized into the 1st and 2nd Divisions. The army commander was succeeded by Su Sanniang, the commander of the 1st Division Li Xiucheng, and the commander of the 2nd Division Li Chunfa. There were three regiments in each division, with a total of 6,000 men.

The commander of the Second Army, Luo Xuan, has the 3rd and 4th Divisions, the commander of the 3rd Division, Li Shixian, and the commander of the 4th Division, Huang San. It was mainly to defend the Qing army in Jiangbei and stationed in Yangzhou.

Zeng Shuiyuan, commander of the Third Army, was under the command of the 5th and 6th Divisions, He Lu, the commander of the 5th Division, and Zhou Guotai, the commander of the 6th Division. After the reorganization of the Third Army was completed, it attacked Jiangxi.

Hong Xuanjiao, commander of the Fourth Army, has the 7th Division, the 8th Division, Yang Changmei, the commander of the 7th Division, and Xiao Yunmei, the commander of the 8th Division. Two divisions of the Fourth Army took turns defending the palace, with two regiments of two regiments in each division totaling 2,000 men.

Ling 18, commander of the Fifth Army, under the command of the 9th Division and the 10th Division, Chen Chengying, commander of the 9th Division, and Lin Shaozhang, commander of the 10th Division, attacked in the direction of southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang after the reorganization was completed.

Li Desheng, commander of the Seventh Army, was under the command of the 13th and 14th Divisions, Liu Cai, the commander of the 13th Division, and Lin Qirong, the commander of the 14th Division, and the Seventh Army defended Anhui.

The Sixth Army is a naval division, the commander Tang Zhengcai, 10,000 sailors, divided into two brigades and ten battalions, the brigade commanders are Wang Gang and Wang Xin.

Except for the First Army and the Fourth Army, the other armies had 8,000 men per corps, two regiments per division, and 2,000 men per regiment.

That's how the compilation is, is there still a problem. ”

Jiao Liang saw that there was no name on it, and he was depressed, so he planned to wait for Li Yunzhong to finish speaking and ask him, but he saw that several sworn brothers of Li Yunzhong on the opposite side were smiling, and his heart moved, and sure enough, there was no name on it, and his heart was full of ups and downs, and he had all tastes, it seemed that he still did not dissolve into the inner circle of His Royal Highness the King of Han, it must be Li Yunzhong who promised them greater benefits, and I was treated the same as them, but I didn't notify myself in advance.

Zhou Guoyu said: "Your Highness, I still haven't figured out these army commanders and division commanders above, how big an official am I as a division commander?" ”

Li Yunzhong said with a smile: "Division commander, the rank of brigadier general, the rank of army commander and major general." ”

Zhou Guoyu muttered, "What brigadier general? Major general? I don't understand. ”

Li Yunzhong saw that it was not only Zhou Guoyu who was questioning, but everyone present did not understand the meaning of the brigadier general and the major general, and secretly thought: It is not a good thing to be too advanced. Then he asked, "What do you think?" ”

Zuo Zongtang said: "Since the establishment of the nine-grade system in the Wei and Jin dynasties, all dynasties and generations have followed this system, why don't we use it?" ”

Meng Sheng retorted: "When our Han Dynasty was first established, it can't have the same place as the Qing Dynasty, and the system, official name, and army should be changed, so as to show that the weather of our Han Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty is different." ”

Zuo Zongtang was stunned, he couldn't understand the meaning of Meng Sheng, isn't this nonsense, and saw that many people nodded in agreement, considering that he was a new refuge and it was not appropriate to argue with him, so he calmly stopped speaking.

Li Yunzhong also disagreed with Meng Sheng's words, and said: "This seems extreme, I think this nine-product system is very good, easy to understand, or created by our Han people, and can be used." ”

He Lu also wanted to know that Lu Dao was the majority of officials, and when he saw that King Han agreed to the nine-grade system, he immediately asked, "How many grades is the division commander?" ”

Jiao Liang looked at Zhou Guoyu and He Lu with a headache, it was so embarrassing, the other military-level commanders didn't speak, just the two division commanders came out three times and twice, and they still questioned His Highness! Does this make His Highness think that he ordered it? Thinking of this, Jiao Liang immediately shouted to He Lu: "Shut up, what an official you are, His Royal Highness the King of Han will announce it later, what are you anxious about!"

Li Yunzhong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Jiao Dudu doesn't have to be like this, this is human nature, this division commander is a fourth grade, as big as the prefect." ”

Zhou Guoyu exclaimed: "Then I am the prefect, Ha Luha, I am glorious to my ancestors, woo...... Woo...... Daddy, I'm the prefect. ”

As he spoke, he began to cry.

He Lu scolded with a smile: "It's not just a prefect, look at you like that." ”

It doesn't matter what kind of happiness you are glad to become.
