Prince Gong is an old fox, he will not offend people, especially a powerful person like Zeng Guofan, who holds military power, he has to deal with it more carefully, so the so-called reprimand and punishment of Zeng Guofan, zuihou is just a formality, hastily.

After this incident, Zeng Guofan and others began to reorganize the old army, and re-recruited new soldiers to enrich the original structure and train the newly expanded personnel, in order to reorganize its drum and be ashamed.

This period of time is also the calmest period on the front line, both sides are healing their wounds, recuperating, recuperating, and waiting for the next big war to come.

At the same time, Huang Xu's rectification of the Taiping Army was also being carried out in an orderly manner.

Huang Xu first reformed the original military command system, abolished the military institutions such as the Central Army, the Right Army, and the Left Army, and re-established a new command system, called the Joint Operations Command, which replaced the original command mode by the Joint Operations Command and unified command the coordinated operations of all arms of the armed forces.

Under the Joint Operations Command, there are new military institutions such as ordinary infantry, hoplites, light cavalry, heavy cavalry, independent archers, firearms battalions (which control the use of muskets and artillery throughout the army), engineer battalions, intelligence services, logistics support brigades, and special operations detachments.

Such a setup is for a more reasonable allocation of resources, unified deployment, and coordinated operations.

This new institutional setting is indeed refreshing, but some incongruous voices inevitably appeared, which shows that any reform will encounter resistance, and to make the public accept a new thing, it is not an easy thing, fortunately, Shi Dakai and other high-level military officials are unreservedly on Huang Xu's side, and actively cooperate with Huang Xu to reform the army, thereby reducing resistance, so that Huang Xu's every step of reform can be implemented, to be implemented smoothly.

Through such reforms, the original bloated institutional setup has disappeared, the new institutional setup has tended to be more rationalized, the army has become more convenient to command, and such an army is more like an army fighting in a team.

In the process of this rectification, Huang Xu was most proud of the fact that he personally set up two new military institutions, the Intelligence Department and the Special Operations Detachment, these two new institutions can be said to be beyond the products of this era, all their combat theories and military equipment are specially tailored by Huang Xu according to the advanced concepts of later generations, according to Huang Xu's vision of them, they can definitely be called the epoch-making sword of Damocles, and with these two swords in hand, and then fight against the Qing army in the future, Unexpected effects will be obtained.

After the establishment of these two agencies, Huang Xu offered to personally serve as the head of these two agencies, the director of the intelligence department and the captain of the special operations team.

After Shi Dakai saw a lot of Huang Xu's strange behavior, he didn't take Huang Xu's so-called intelligence department and special team seriously, so he readily agreed, and the others had no opinion, because they wouldn't understand the mystery at all.

After all the military institutions were set up, the whole army carried out preliminary simulation training and operations, unexpectedly, the effect is surprisingly good, many military generals have said that it is much more convenient to command now, and the understanding of the army is clearer, and the soldiers at the bottom can also feel the benefits of this change, they can now know the combat intentions of the upper level as quickly as possible, and correctly comprehend the combat orders conveyed above, and today's Taiping Army looks more like a clenched fist, Guarantee that zuihou is waving a liliang.

It was only at this time that everyone really understood the purpose of Huang Xu's military innovation.

Under such a premise, the first joint meeting of the Joint Operations Command in the true sense of the word was held.

Present at the meeting were: Shi Dakai, Guo Potian, Li Xiucheng, Lv Qingtian, Huang Xu, Zhao Xiaofeng and other members of the joint command.

"Ha, ha, brother, it's really good that you got this so-called Joint Operations Command, it's very interesting." As soon as Guo Potian saw Huang Xu, he patted him on the back affectionately and shouted at him with a smile.

"Big brother, do you think it's still useful?" Huang Xu also smiled.

"Medium, it's ten, ha..."Guo Potian stretched out his thumb and said.

"Ha, ha..."Huang Xu also said loudly.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet, today our newly established Joint Operations Command held its first plenary meeting, the main purpose of which is to analyze and summarize the problems that have arisen in the army's training and simulated operations some time ago, so as to work out the next step of training and prepare for the upcoming operation against the Qing Dynasty. Shi Dakai's opening remarks made clear the main topics of today's meeting.

So, everyone commented on this new chain of command and the newly established military structure, and in short, in the final analysis, it was full of praise.

"Huang Xu, you can also talk about it." Seeing that everyone was talking about it, Shi Dakai smiled and said to Huang Xu, who had not said anything.

"Yes, my lord, let me say a few words, everyone, the purpose of our military reform this time is to build a more efficient, more team-oriented army, judging from the preliminary information, the overall effect is good, but there is still 108,000 miles away from the real Dacheng." Huang Xu's words are tantamount to pouring cold water on everyone.

"Then, brother, can you tell me what you mean by Dacheng?" Shi Dakai asked with interest.

"Haode, Lord Wang, the so-called Dacheng, that is, a high degree of coordination, for example, before launching a military attack, what intelligence needs to be collected by our intelligence department, when attacking, how can our independent archer brigade and firearms battalion play the greatest role to cover our infantry operations, and how should our logistics support brigade ensure that supplies are effectively delivered to the combat units in the front, etc., these are not independent units, this is a whole, only to achieve the same paceFor example, maybe with just one look, I can know what to do next." Huang Xu gave a detailed explanation.

Can this be done? After listening to Huang Xu's words, everyone present had such a question in their hearts.

"Brother, can this be done?" Shi Dakai said the question in his heart.

"Lord, yes." Huang Xu is definitely authentic.

"How?" Shi Da Kai rushed to the road.

He knew very well in his heart the weight of what Huang Xu said, if an army could do what Huang Xu said, then this army could be invincible.

"Lord Wang, this matter is not urgent, this needs to be achieved through countless times of training and the accumulation of countless actual combat experience, so what we can do at present is to keep training and retrain according to the requirements of the training syllabus, and only when the usual training is in place, then when we really fight, we can make fewer mistakes and pay less costs, so as to get different returns." HUANG Xudao.

"Very good, very good, very reasonable, everyone, the horse master has pointed out a clear way for us, we can't slack off, the so-called training for war, we must take advantage of this pre-war training opportunity, and practice our skills solidly, only in this way can we really achieve what we want on the battlefield." Shi Dakai said excitedly.

"Yes, Lord Wang." The boss instructed everyone to follow orders.

By the way, speaking of which, I would like to briefly introduce the composition of this joint operations command and what are the main responsible generals of each branch of the armed forces.

Generally speaking, the Joint Operations Command is composed of generals and adjutant generals of all branches of the armed forces and the command center of the former Taiping Army.

Shi Dakai is the supreme commander of the Joint Operations Command as a matter of course.

Guo Potian is in charge of the newly reorganized ordinary infantry, hoplites, light cavalry, and hoplites, which is the most powerful single branch, and the deputy general, Lu Qingtian.

Li Xiucheng was in charge of the newly formed independent brigade of archers, the firearms battalion, and the duties were equally important, and the adjutant general, Yang Yiqing

The engineer battalion was headed by Yu Yilong as the general and Duan Yihu as the deputy general.

The logistics support brigade is led by Zhu Yidian and Fu Zhongxin is the deputy captain.

Huang Xu commanded the intelligence department and the special operations team, and Yao Dahong, Tian Xiaoer, Liu Yuhua, and Dongfang Bufu all served as deputy positions in these two agencies.

Zhao Xiaofeng and Wang Xiaoyong are the staff officers of the combat command.

This kind of staffing basically includes the most cutting-edge talents of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at this time, which is the strongest allocation. (To be continued.)
