Chapter 48: The Revival Army

Too many people are against it, and a bad one can cause a mutiny. However, Wang Bo had his own good strategy, and immediately sacrificed a big killing weapon, after scattering the team, everyone's daily training will be ranked, and the top will be rewarded with different amounts of silver, but the bottom of the ranking will be punished, and he will tell the whole army about this decision, and let everyone make a decision.

In fact, the soldiers of today are the simplest, if it were not for the famine and war, who would be willing to join the army. Of course, those idle scoundrels in the market voluntarily enlisted in the army for a few military salaries, but these cunning and slippery people are not the material for war, and they also affect the atmosphere in the army, and if they really want to recruit into the army, they can only be beaten and killed, and the war will be defeated.

Liu Xiao and the others gritted their teeth with hatred for this, their eyes breathed fire, this move they were simply helpless, they couldn't break the move, this was clearly relying on money, so as to gain the support of the officers and soldiers below!

Wang Boxin said: "Are you richer than me?" Lao Tzu took money and stoned you feudal relics to death. They were all bullied by outsiders to their homes, and they only thought about their own interests. You are selfish and always want to take the interests into your own hands, so I will be selfless and divide all the interests, everyone is really good, I see who is willing to support you. ”

As soon as the soldiers heard that they had good training, they would take the money, and naturally they all agreed.

Three days ago, Wang Bo got the rosters of each army and battalion and began to make a plan, to scatter and disrupt all the soldiers of each army and battalion, so that he could fish in troubled waters.

He immediately took out the plan that had been prepared for a long time, and after a series of changes, the original thirteen battalions were all disrupted, and this was only the first step in his plan.

In the second step, the soldiers of the whole army after the chaos will be organized according to the army of the 21st century, 6,500 people are divided into five regiments, below the regiment is a battalion, company, platoon, and squad.

Not long after, Pu Shisheng finally came to the small station, and there were more than 500 people with him, all of whom he recruited on the order of Wang Bo, including honest rural boys and literate scholars.

Wang Bo was overjoyed, these people will be his first troops, and based on this, then more troops will be established in the future.

Coincidentally, this day is July 1st, Wang Bo is even more overjoyed, this is too unexpected, since this is the case, then this day will be set as the Army Day in the future!

The title of the army is called the Revival Army, reviving China, realizing national rejuvenation, supporting the backbone of the people, and rebuilding the heroic style of the Han and Tang Dynasties!

Subsequently, Lisa's father, the senior of the German foreign firm, hired retired German officers according to Wang Bo's request, and the Mauser rifles and cannons he ordered were also sent to the camp, and other production machines were also shipped to the capital, which he transferred a part of the patent and spent a lot of money to buy.

The army training schedule was carried out in an orderly manner, and several conservatives Liu Xiao were isolated from the military academy for re-education, and the troops on hand were completely emptied, and they were only a small part of the generals, and they could no longer make any waves.

Although those who know the times, such as Chen Shangde and others, also need to enter the military academy for re-education, the scope of their activities is not too restrictive.

These people can't play any tricks at all, because Wang Bo can see through their minds. He used his position as the principal of the Fuxing Military Academy to call each cadet of the military academy into the office one by one to talk in detail, and used supernatural perception to find out what these people were thinking, who lied to him and who was sincere to him, so all the thoughts were presented in front of him without reservation.

From there, he took the opportunity to win over a group of people, and hit a group, with money, weapons, and talents, these 6,500 soldiers were at his disposal.

Time passed, and half a year passed in a blink of an eye.

Now both the army and business are going well.

To tell the truth, as far as his half-baked knowledge level is concerned, the military and business are half-understood, and some even don't understand it at all, but it doesn't matter, China is a vast land with a large population, and he doesn't understand that there are people outside who understand!

He only needs to firmly grasp the financial power, military power, and personnel power, and let other details be managed by talents in various fields, as long as he knows how to use people.

There is still a month to go before the Spring Festival is approaching, and on this day, Wang Bo discussed the Spring Festival arrangements with his key members in the conference room.

Now that his unit already has a regiment, although Li Hongzhang only allowed him to recruit one battalion on his own, that is, a maximum of 800 personal soldiers, there are many excuses for expanding the recruitment, that is, that the superfluous people are the long-term husbands who accompany the army to help transport supplies, and if there are any more opinions, then it is simply a militia to build a militia and prepare for the cause of reclamation and garrisoning of the small station.

"Wei Yuanqiang, how are the battalion officers and commanders you trained now?"

"Those guys are trained to be like dogs every day, and they don't move in any way." Wei Yuanqiang said loudly.

This guy is now the commander of Wang Bo's guard company, in addition to training Liu Xiao and others, he was also ordered by Wang Bo to go to the military academy to read and write, so that he, a soldier who didn't even know what books were, had a splitting headache, but he had to go, dared not to go, locked up the small black room, deducted money, and demoted.

He was originally a poor and poor people, and finally followed a promising boss, with more than 100 people under his hands, and his salary has also increased several times, and Liu Xiao and others have offended him to the end, except for hugging Wang Bo's thigh and becoming a diehard, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the army in the future, so he will do whatever he is told, how dare he disobey the slightest.

Wang Bo nodded and said: "Now that half a year has passed since the training, the soldiers of each regiment and battalion are almost the same, and they can't afford to make any waves, so let them relax a little during this time." In two days, it will be the month of Layue, and Li Zhongtang said that he would come to check on the training of the army, and these people will definitely report to the dark when the time comes......"

After thinking about it, he said again: "Shi Sheng, how is it over there?" ”

Pu Shisheng said: "There are currently 500 cadets in the Fuxing Military Academy, and according to your orders, all the 76 cadets who are currently in contact with us have secretly joined our Fuxing Army, and the others have not yet been contacted. ”

Wang Bo said: "This period of time will be suspended for a while, and we will talk about it after Li Zhongtang's inspection." Now the situation outside is getting worse and worse, some time ago the war with France was completely defeated, whether it was a land battle or a naval battle, Zhang Shusheng and Pan Dingxin's troops of the Huai Army were defeated in Guangxi, and the two were also dismissed. ”

"The Nanyang Naval Division was wiped out by the whole army, I heard that Liu Mingchuan, the commander of the original inscription army, was serving as the governor of the Lifting Bay, and led the troops to draw with the French army in the Tamsui area, but the Lifting Bay Strait was blocked by the French army, and the hardships can be imagined."

Although it was suppressed by Yuan Shikai and the army, the situation there was becoming more and more serious, and the forces of England, Germany, the United States, and the Japanese were involved, especially the ambitions of the Japanese were getting bigger and bigger, and there would be a war with our China the next day. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the great powers of various countries are pressing on China step by step, the situation is about to erupt, time is running out, the army must seize the time to train, and all regiments and battalions will train as usual during the Spring Festival, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Adjournment!"

Wang Bo pays attention to current affairs every day, because he knows the next historical development, the sense of urgency in his heart is getting heavier and heavier, but his current strength is too weak, and Li Hongzhang is staring at it from above, and he wants to develop everywhere is restricted, and he knows that there is no way to develop near the capital, so he has to leave here and establish his own base.

However, he has no excuse, he still has to help Li Hongzhang train 6,500 new troops now, how can he leave?

Soon, the first day of the lunar month arrived.

Li Hongzhang came to the barracks with his Huai civil and military officials, and Wang Bo had already lined up at the gate of the barracks with the generals to wait.

Before Wang Bo could speak, Liu Xiao and the others had already knelt on the ground and cried: "My lord, Wang Bo has eliminated dissidents, pretended to be public and private, dedicated to prestige, and is fearless, please take down this person immediately, otherwise my Huaijun will definitely be destroyed in his hands!" ”

Li Hongzhang glanced at Wang Bo and said, "What's going on?" Take your time! ”

Liu Xiao and others added fuel to the fire and said how Wang Bo isolated and tortured them, how he used money to win over people's hearts, and even made the strength of various armies and battalions chaotic, not only changing the military establishment without permission, but also setting up private military schools to form groups and forming parties, establishing private forces, and so on.

Li Hongzhang looked at Wang Bo and asked, "Wang Bo, do you have any explanation for this matter?" ”

Wang Bolang said: "I don't want to say much about these slanders, as the so-called facts speak louder than words." I would like to ask Lord Nakado to take a closer look at the barracks, I have already formulated a series of military exercise projects, and everything will be clear at a glance. Right? Is it wrong? Please be aware of it! ”

Li Hongzhang nodded and said, "You guys get up first, and I'll talk about it after I see it." ”

Wang Bo worked out several exercises for Li Hongzhang's inspection, first a military parade on the school ground, then a gun drill, and finally a three-day offensive and defensive battle between the two regiments, and then he explained the benefits of the new establishment of the army.

Li Hongzhang watched and listened at the same time, nodding his head incessantly throughout the whole process, looking very satisfied.

But Liu Xiao and the others were all crying and sad, they have been being re-educated in a closed manner for the past half a year, and they can't get in touch with the officers and soldiers below at all, and they can't imagine that in just half a year, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers has been several times better than before them! This makes everyone can't believe what they see!

The generals who came with him were also shocked, and when they saw it, they fought back and exclaimed: "If it was such a strong army against France at that time, maybe Zhang Shusheng and Pan Dingxin's troops would not have been defeated so badly!" ”

Wang Bo poured cold water on his head, saying that these soldiers had just received new-style military training not long ago, and that their combat effectiveness had not yet been formed, and that according to the current situation, it would take at least three years to precipitate, and all kinds of actual combat would have to be carried out, and it would be best to send them out to suppress bandits in order to train troops in actual combat.

Otherwise, this army will be a paper tiger, and when it is really sent to the battlefield to fight foreign troops, even if the logistics are guaranteed, it will be broken at the first poke, and the battle will be lost. (To be continued.) )
