In the 33rd year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of February in the 18th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, after a winter of rectification, Zhu Jin, who consciously recovered his vitality slightly, sent out to help suppress Chen Liang of Zuozhen and Zhu Tiangui of Louchuan Zuozhen to go north to recapture Dinghai. biquge.info The Qing army found that the Zheng army's naval division was making a comeback, so they mobilized more than 100 warships to meet the battle, but Chen Liang and Zhu Tiangui were both sailors, and they were by no means comparable to Xiao Chen, so although the two troops were incomplete, they still beat the Qing army to the head, but fortunately, the wind was strong for a while, and the Qing army was able to take the opportunity to escape into the Wuhu Gate. Seeing that the Qing army avoided the Neijiang River, Zhu Tiangui and others did not dare to pursue lightly, and followed the army to Haitan to moor
Although the Sailor won a valuable victory, it did not mean that all problems had been solved for the Ming and Zheng sides. At the beginning of March, Liu Guoxuan asked Zhu Jin to suspend the monthly salary of civil and military officials for half a year, so as to give the armies a generous gift and restore the fighting spirit of the armies.
However, new blows followed, and Yang Xian, the right commander, finally died of illness in Qiongzhou due to old age and exhaustion. When the news reached Siming, Zhu Jinzhu personally mourned, but before he could send the minister to take over, Geng Jingzhong led the army to the west again, and captured Gaozhou, Dianbai and other cities in one fell swoop, and the defender Zu Zeqing was only spared. Geng Jingzhong took advantage of the victory to pursue, and Chen Qing of Yiwei Town had just arrived in Qiongzhou at this time, and he was unable to organize northern aid at all, so Leizhou also fell into the hands of Geng Jingzhong.
However, Geng Jingzhong was taken by the power of the Zheng army's sailors, and did not dare to cross the sea lightly, so Qiongzhou was lucky, but the news of the Qing army's strength reached Qiongzhou, and the people were panicked, and some of the gentry openly resisted the Ming Zheng regime's grain levy, Chen Qing and Zheng Xingying, etc., were helpless against this, so the situation in Qiongzhou deteriorated, and it was no longer able to provide enough food and materials for Siming.
In this regard, Zhu Jin, who was having a headache for the huge expenses of reorganizing the army, had no choice but to sacrifice the magic weapon of the levy again, and forced the people of Siming, Haicheng, and Kinmen to lose two buckets of military rations a month for expenses.
The only good news for Zhu Jin is that Zheng Kezhang officially married Chen Xianqiao at the end of March of this year under Dong Guotai's arrangement, and what made him even happier was that Zheng Kezang's concubines Tong Chunniang and Fang Yuniang had become pregnant
"Your Majesty, given the condition of the road for the Lord, I don't think it's the matter with the use of the four-pounder cannon in your mischief." The chief artillery instructor was Frenchman, Yi Shilao, and in his strange Hokkien dialect, he presented his practical experience to Zheng Kezhang and the circle of military attachés around him. "But the four-pounder cannon is too much, and it can be cut in battle with the ticket level, but if the battle is expanded to the real one, it is necessary to set up a separate artillery team with six-pounder guns and twelve pounder guns."
Zheng Kezhang touched the beard that he had grown up after marriage—although he was a little unaccustomed to it, it still made him look more majestic—and then looked at He Gan, who nodded at him, agreeing with Yi Shilao's opinion, so Zheng Kezhang made a decision: "In this case, the establishment of the first town of the Boy Scouts has been decided." ”
Zheng Kezhang made a final decision, and others naturally did not dare to question it more, so the establishment of the first town of the Boy Scouts was officially written.
According to this establishment, the first town of the Boy Scouts will temporarily administer two battalions and one team. Among them, Kunlun is marked with three battalions and one team, which is a pure cold weapon unit composed of black slaves, the first standard of the boy battalion is composed of two spear battalions, a sword and shield battalion, an artillery team equipped with three two-inch long cannons and a baggage team, and the remaining battalion is equipped with six three-inch cannons and three three-and-a-half-inch heavy cannons, while the other battalion is a baggage battalion, and the remaining one team is a light horse scout.
"The town control system is tentatively set as the commander of the three products, the deputy commander of the town is the commander of the three products, the superintendent is the commander of the five products, and the Rong Zheng Sima is the six products of the experience officer. In addition, each town re-established four staff officers, awarded from the six-pin Zhongxian lieutenant to the five-pin Wuyi general, each standard also set up two staff officers, one of which was awarded from the six-pin Zhongxian lieutenant (note: the Ming Dynasty Wusan rank, the same below, the former was initially awarded, the latter was promoted) or Zhongwu lieutenant, and the other was awarded the six-pin Zhaoxin lieutenant or Chengxin lieutenant. Zheng Kezhang said as he paid attention to the expressions of the people in front of him with the rest of his eyes. Sun Youlao was awarded the deputy control of the first town, and He Qian was transferred to the Kunlun standard standard, and each was awarded the lieutenant (honorable officer) of the light car. ”
Sun Youlao was originally from the third grade, although this promotion is in line with the name, but He Qian does not seem to have suffered a loss, although the standard system is still only the fourth grade, but he received the honor of the captain from the third grade light car given by Zheng Kezang, which should mean that he will soon be promoted to the first rank, so although he lost the control of the Boy Scout A battalion, but it can be regarded as stepping through the barrier between the three and four grades, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"Yu Ping served as the first standard commander of the boy battalion, Chen Lesheng was the first town supervisor, Kuching awarded General Wu Yi as the chief staff officer of the first town, and the deputy battalion officer of the water battalion transferred to Tainong." The four people who were named also followed the example of Sun Youlao and He Qian, knelt down on one leg in front of Zheng Kezang. "Chen Tang was promoted to the first town of Rong Zheng Sima, and the supervisors of the two standards were succeeded by Gu Kai and Zhao Huang." These three people are also instructors of the boy boy camp, so they naturally know the rules. "He Fa, Gao Min, Gu Le, Chen Tong, Sun Yu, Huang Tao, Xi Daping." Seven more instructors knelt behind their predecessors in turn. "Promoted to battalion officer." When these battalion officers kowtowed and retreated, Zheng Kezang's eyes fell on the French. "Yi Shilao, you are willing to become a Ming officer."
Yi Shilao was originally not even a non-commissioned officer in France, but now he can have the opportunity to become a battalion officer, naturally he is willing to do it, but he still has a little cunning: "Shop, of course I am willing, but I am not late for this five-grade battalion width, which is similar to what military money in the French Kingdom Army?" ”
Military money? Zheng Kezhang was almost not amused by him, but when Yi Shilao's question was raised, he always had to give an answer, so he thought about it. In his design, the Boy Scouts should have about 700 people in 1 standard, and 1 town should command 3~4 standards and a number of directly subordinate battalions, supporting 3,000 people, which is roughly equivalent to the brigade in the Napoleonic era, and the brigade commander in the Napoleonic era was usually a brigadier general. If you want to calculate it in this way, the third rank is a brigadier general, the second rank is a major general, the second rank is a lieutenant general, the first rank is a general, and the first rank is a marshal, which is also very suitable, but the reverse presumption is problematic. From the third rank is a colonel, the fourth rank is a lieutenant colonel, from the fourth rank is a major, and the fifth rank is only a captain. Although judging from the number of troops, the battalion of the Scouts was actually a later company, but this time, the sixth rank can only be regarded as a warrant officer, and the seventh and eighth grades are not even considered sergeants, which is really too different from the actual situation in China today.
"It should be the equivalent of a major." Zheng Kezhang thought about it, and finally decided to raise the corresponding military rank by one level, of course, this is not a kind of benign deception. "That's right, it's equivalent to a major in the French ** team."
"Oh!" Yi Shilao's eyes lit up. "I am also a famous officer, a middle-level officer, a middle-level officer in China, I must sue my children and grandchildren, their grandfather, who used to be a major in Eastern China!"
Zheng Kezhang finally couldn't help it, but fortunately he still had the ability to control himself, so he hurriedly pinched his thigh with his hand, and used the sudden pain to divert his attention, so as not to listen to it anymore, and couldn't help laughing out loud to sweep away the original solemn atmosphere.
"Stand down," Zheng Kezang, who couldn't hold back his laughter, rebuked Yi Shilao with a stiff face, and then he reported eight more names. "Qiu Tang, Feng Gao, Feng Hui, Ma Yiyuan, Tu Qing, Cao Yi, Yin Long, Bao Shifen." These people did not serve in the Boy Scout Camp from the beginning, but were the remaining officials in the towns that had been abolished, and Zheng Kezang's selection of them to serve as the Boy Scouts was also based on the idea of expanding the foundation of the Tong War, and preparing for a possible struggle with Feng Xifan in the future. "You have never served in the boy boy camp, and this time you can be appointed as the deputy battalion officer, you need to learn how to command the army from your peers, and you must not be arrogant because you are an old soldier."
"No!" The eight men responded in unison, and the momentum was quite large, at least the floating dust on the roof was shaken down a lot.
"Let's go down and do something." Zheng Kezhang waved them back, and then shouted the remaining and promoted young staff officers, team leaders, squad leaders, and even stormtroopers into Xuanma one by one, and when they were assigned, the sun was already shaking.
However, Zheng Kezang, who had just been married, did not return to Anping immediately, but Sun Youlao, He Qian and Yu Ping called in: "The first standard has just been expanded and needs to be retrained, so there is a problem with the deterrence of the northern society." ”
"Please rest assured, the town in Zhuluo County will be handed over to his subordinates." He Qian naturally had no objections, on the contrary, he also needed to use the martial arts of the Pingding Society to establish his position in the Kunlun standard. "If these clubs dare to make any changes, they must burn the Dragon Tail Society again."
Zheng Kezhang was satisfied with He Qian's murderous words, this was an era of national integration that was later portrayed by shameless literati as singing and dancing, if the Pingpu people could not be sinicized, then they could only wait for Taiwan to be enslaved by the Manchurians: "Okay, very good, if you can ensure the peace of the north, Yu will definitely ask for credit from his father for He Biaotong." ”
"The first standard is to speed up the pace of training and training, and to resume routine patrols before September." After taking care of He Qian, Zheng Kezhang instructed Yu Ping again. "The situation of Siming and Haicheng is unknown, maybe the situation is urgent, and even the boy camp will go to the battlefield." Yu Ping also went from the boy boy camp to the old man of the boy scout, so he naturally understood Zheng Kezang's inner anxiety, so he also made a guarantee, and then Zheng Kezhang locked his eyes on Sun Youlao. "Lord Sun, you will draw up a general strategy with the staff and military aircraft, and when the first standard training is completed in September, you will have to compare the Kunlun standard with the first standard to see which unit is more capable of fighting!"
Sun Youlao was a little dizzy, the military flag deduction in this era is still a blank in the world, so he doesn't know what Zheng Kezang's so-called comparison is, of course, he will not mistake it for a competition in personal ability, so he asked in an uncertain tone: "What does Shisun mean to make a game between Kunlun Standard and the First Standard?" ”
"That's right, do it," Zheng Kezhang pointed. "All kinds of situations can be, or marching encounters, or one side defending the other side attacking, or fortification, all kinds of things, as long as the battlefield can be encountered, you and the staff officer can be set up to do one, but you don't need real guns."
"Subordinate, subordinate understood"
