Chapter 5 Teaching Camp

Speaking of this, Zhu Jiabao already has a logarithm in his heart. At the dinner table that night, Zhu Jiabao, who thought that Bole had met Maxima, was very generous and waved his hand to allocate the two patrol battalions in Wuhu and the only one in the province to Hu Rui. (According to the establishment of the new army at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the local government's financial resources were limited and unable to organize and train a town, the mixed association came into being.) Generally, it includes one battalion of the First Infantry Association (under the jurisdiction of 2 standards) (one infantry brigade under 2 regiments), an artillery team, and a horse team (cavalry); One team (one company) of baggage and one engineer each allocated the centigold from five counties, including Dangtu and Wuhu, as military expenses. At the same time, he also promised to wait until the situation in Anqing stabilized, and immediately after the above-mentioned imperial court set Hu Rui's official position, and at the same time asked for an additional patrol battalion according to the standard of two patrol battalions in each county, and the two additional patrol battalions in Anqing, Wuhu, Dangtu and other six places were also handed over to Hu Rui to take charge of the training, and Hu Rui was busy thanking him. On paper, the picture is still quite large, at least on the paper, Hu Rui suddenly has a 14 patrol battalion in his hand (one battalion of horse artillery in Wuhu) plus a mixed association, nearly 23 battalions and more than 10,000 horses. Zhu Jiabao, who was very excited that night, put down the shelf of the lord of the mansion, and pulled Hu Rui to drink cup after cup with great interest, until midnight when he was helped into the inner room by the domestic servant.

As a rare doer in the late Qing Dynasty, Zhu Jiabao's efficiency was not ordinarily high, and the situation in Anqing gradually stabilized in early December, although the army was like a comb, and the market was in a depression, but the situation was still relaxed. Without waiting to catch his breath, Zhu Jiabao, who had just been implicated in the suppression of the New Army's uprising and was widely criticized for wrongful killings, immediately wrote to the imperial court to request the reorganization of the new army, and at the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity of the rebellion of the new army's artillery corps, he requested that the patrol battalion be increased on the grounds that the new army was unusable, and that each county should be added by one or two according to the financial situation of each county. Surprisingly, Zhu Jiabao did not ask for the reconstruction of the burned surveying and mapping school this time, on the grounds that the martial arts hall was a thief, and then the pen changed and recommended a young man named Hu Rui who had returned from studying in Germany to serve as the coordinator of the New Army Association to establish a teaching standard for the reconstruction of the New Army, and at the same time prevent the infiltration of the chaotic party. As soon as he went up, the imperial court immediately approved the request for the addition of patrol battalions and the rebuilding of the new army, after all, the current situation is unstable, and the new army must be used both for defense and use, and about the creation of the teaching battalion and the civil and military officers of the Hu Rui Manchu Dynasty do not know which one it is. Zhu Jiabao, who was far away in Wuhu, saw that there was no news for a long time, and he immediately guessed where the roots were, and then he wrote again to make a brief description of Hu Rui and his people, and between the lines he portrayed Hu Rui as a young and promising, who studied hard in the United States since he was a child, and resolutely returned to China in order to fulfill his filial piety regardless of the retention of the German side after his studies...... Wait, since ancient times, filial piety has come first, in the eyes of the Manchu magnates, those chaotic parties who keep making trouble are all ungrateful and shameless guys, taking the silver given by the court and their parents to stay abroad, and when they come back, they will eat inside and outside and make trouble to rebel, which is really shameless. Since ancient times, loyal ministers have produced filial sons, how can such a filial child be a chaotic party? ! So there was no too much difficulty, but the teaching label was replaced by a big stroke of the teaching camp! Hu Ruijing's jaw didn't close all the way back from Zhu Jiabao, to paraphrase the current sentence, it was too sudden, and people were overwhelmed for a moment. "14 patrol battalions, a mixed brigade and a teaching battalion, God!!" Hu Rui finally relieved himself, and in his heart, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl. This means that soon he will not be a bare-bones commander, if Jihua goes well, then before the outbreak of the Xinhai Uprising, he has at least more than 10,000 horses in his hands, although this capital cannot be compared with the six towns of Beiyang, at least it is more than enough for self-preservation, and he also knows the future historical trend. The result was completely beyond his expectations. According to the establishment of the new army at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the establishment of a town (one division) in Anhui was actually subject to financial and other factors, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was actually organized and trained into a mixed association. With the instructions of the imperial court, Zhu Jiabao immediately took resolute action, first transferred more than 300 people from the army middle school, and at the same time screened and screened more than 100 people from the remaining officers of the 34th Mixed Association and students from the surveying and mapping school, and gathered more than 400 people and sent them to Wuhu. When Hu Rui was tired of looking for teachers and busy with venues, Zhu Jiabao quietly "deducted" the Anqing Manufacturing Bureau from the hands of the political secretary on the grounds of poor management, handed it over to Hu Rui according to the agreement, and required that at least the province's ordnance self-sufficiency could be achieved within two years, which really made Hu Rui's mouth smile together. Hurriedly sold the mixed arms in his hand, except for the batch of Mauser pistols, to the Jiangxi New Army, and made a lot of money. I sent the capital to my family in Shanghai, and all the rest of the money was invested in the teaching camp. I personally went to Shanghai, used all the doors of the family in Germany, gritted my teeth and hired retired German officers to teach at a high price, in order to prevent the behavior of confusion, I specially added an interview link (similar to the current job fair), all the people were selected one by one in person, and 12 were selected from more than 30 people in Zuihou. The German instructors returned with a large purchase of 600 Mauser guns, 6 Maxim 1908, 4 1904 75mm howitzers, and a batch of the latest pointed singles. These arms were all prepared for the Wuhu teaching team, and it can be said that from the very beginning, the starting point of the teaching team was to keep up with the German Army, the first army in Europe. At present, the 34 Mixed Association exists in name only, and after the turmoil, less than half of the original 4,000-strong Mixed Association has only half of the stragglers left, and the establishment is still in existence, but there are no people, especially the extreme lack of officers, and it will not be able to form combat effectiveness for a while and a half. The recruitment of patrol battalions has not yet begun, and the 14 patrol battalions are still on paper, and only the two patrol battalions in Wuhu can make do with it. Hu Rui simply threw the thirty-four mixed into the association for the time being, anyway, it would be okay for a while and a half, and it was not a fat person who couldn't eat it in one bite. All the thoughts were laid on the body of the training camp, and the training camp and the two patrol battalions in Wuhu were put together and trained together. Classrooms and dormitories have also been strengthened and built on the basis of the patrol barracks. It was now the end of 1908, and time was running out, and he had to pull up a team of his own in less than 3 years......
