Chapter 231: Do you have to take so many little brothers out?
I was shocked when I landed today, and the book friends 23820689 subscribed to almost 2,000 gold coins in more than a day, and there are many wind zizi, sword qi like frost, book friends 68691375, cherry red, and forget about the rivers and lakes, thank you for your great support!
Facing Wang Ze's inquiry, the slightly younger Qu Liulang did not answer but looked at Sun Xing beside him, as the eldest brother Sun Xing, who was ten years older than Qu Liulang, was higher than Qu Liulang in terms of age and combat performance, so his prestige in the navy was also higher.
Seeing that Qu Liulang, Du Sheng, and Gu Bin were all looking at the generals of the navy, Sun Xing said without hesitation: "Don't worry, the little marquis, our navy doesn't have any opinions, all listen to the little marquis, as long as there are warships that can ensure the safety of our sea in the East China Sea!" ”
The other generals listened to Sun Xing's words and secretly scolded: "Old slippery, to ensure the safety of several major shipping routes on the islands of the East China Sea, at least nearly 100 warships must be added to the current number of warships in the naval station. ”
However, what the two said is also true, at present, the dependence of the counties in the East China Sea on the Central Plains is still very large, and the number of sea ships traveling between the East China Sea and Sanqi, and even Nanchen is increasing, and the merchant ships on these routes will continue to increase with the development of the East China Sea in the future.
Although a large number of pirates in this sea area in the past have been expelled and wiped out by Wang Ze's navy and the Nanchen navy in the past few years, there are always places that cannot be taken care of when the sea is so big, if someone takes the opportunity to attack their own ships, it will not be a loss of one or two points, and the batch of migrant ships that were attacked in Jiaozhou Port before is a lesson.
As soon as the words began, they couldn't stop, and the big guys began to argue according to the three main camps of the water army, the infantry army and the cavalry army, and each branch of the army had its own arguments, especially in the infantry army, there were Jiang Chuan infantry army divisions, Zhang Hang, Cao An and others' blue wolf battalion headquarters, as well as the ironclad army and crossbow arrow battalion all had their own ideas.
Others, some of them participated in the war many times, although there was no regular army but actually used as a regular army, Cao An had 5,000 Kuyi soldiers, and Meng Xian had thousands of Beji Savage soldiers.
These armies were unparalleled in their chaotic formation, but they had played a significant role in a series of wars against the Japanese state, and if they were not given an explanation, it was likely to arouse the resentment of these laid out soldiers, which would have led to a series of conflicts.
Seeing the generals arguing below, Wang Ze, who had already returned to the main seat, looked down with a smile, and when everyone was arguing, he smiled and coughed, adding another fire: "Don't panic and quarrel, let me tell you first that the total number of troops to be retained this time can only be within 100,000 people, this number includes the navy, let's measure it in your heart first!" ”
Wang Ze's words almost stabbed the hornet's nest, although the number of troops in the East China Sea is not 200,000, but also more than 150,000, this time it is more than one-third of the number, you must know that the number of infantry troops alone is now more than 100,000.
The faces of the infantry generals led by Jiang Chuan changed suddenly, in order to maintain the safety of the East China Sea, the number of sailors would not have decreased, and the total number of local cavalry in the East China Sea was less than 20,000, no matter how it was cut, it would not be too much, so the largest number of cuts in this way must be the infantry army.
Seeing the faces of the infantry soldiers change greatly, Wang Ze comforted: "Everyone knows that our East China Sea is now in ruins, and it is the time when a large number of people are needed to develop it, and someone must build such a large territory, and it is impossible to expect slaves to do everything!" ”
Speaking of this, Wang Ze simply stood up and said to the generals, "But don't worry, this time we will not engage in forced discharge, but according to the wishes of each soldier, as long as any soldier is unwilling to leave the team and does not meet the conditions for discharge, we will keep him in the army!" ”
Seeing the generals' soothing faces, Wang Ze said again: "I also keep in mind the merits of the armies over the years, and we must be worthy of any army that has made great contributions!" ”
With Wang Ze's guarantee, after some debate, everyone finally reached a consensus, and the reorganization of the army officially began on the first day of March, but the first step was not to rectify which army, but to start with the establishment of Wang Ze's central protection army.
The proposal to form a central guard army directly under Wang Ze was not put forward by the generals, but by the civilian officials headed by Yang Ku, Xiao Jing, and Lu Wen.
In the eyes of these civil officials, Wang Ze, as the de facto leader of the state power, did not have a decent guard, and the only personal guard was less than 200 people, which made Yang Wei, who was familiar with history books, look down on it.
For the lord of a country, if there is no direct arm, it is likely to be overthrown by generals and ministers in the future, although at the beginning the leader can rely on his personal charm to determine his influence, but with the expansion of the army, the monarch without direct armies will be overthrown sooner or later.
When this opinion was put forward, the military generals who realized it later discovered this big problem, so the military generals selected the most elite soldiers under their command at a speed that made the civilian officials jaw-dropping, so that Wang Ze could choose at will, and the speed was incomparable. Baixiao
Wang Ze also learned a lesson from the suggestions of the civilian officials, after all, he didn't have much experience before, but now he knows the importance of his direct armed forces, and has the strong support of all the generals, so Wang Ze's Central Protector Army officially began to be formed.
The Central Guard Army is the general name of Wang Ze's personal guards, including the four infantry armies of the Central Guard, the Avant-garde, the Left Guard, and the Right Guard, in addition to the Guards composed of the Iron Armor Army and the Blue Wolf Battalion soldiers, the White Wolf Battalion Light Cavalry is the mainstay, and the Yulin Guard of the Heavy Armored Cavalry is mixed with the whole army, and there are six guards in the whole army.
Each of the seven guards is unified into 3,000 people, and the entire Central Protector Army should have a total of 18,000 people, but because of the needs of disarmament now, Wang Ze has only established a little more than half of the Central Guard, a total of just over 10,000 people, and the remaining numbers will be slowly made up in a few years.
When the Central Protector Army was formed, whether it was the infantry army, the cavalry, or the Blue Wolf Battalion or the Ironclad Army, the generals of each army all sent people to Wang Ze's Central Escort Army as desperately as they could, almost begging grandpa to tell grandma and begging Wang Ze to accept the soldiers in his battalion.
This led to Wang Ze's Zhonghu Army almost becoming a large army that encompassed all arms, and Wang Ze, the general of the Zhonghu Army, was also after thinking twice, and appointed the stable and generous Shen Sanshui as the commander of the Zhongwei Army, and when the Zhonghu Army fought as a whole, he would command the entire Zhonghu Army under Wang Ze's order, and the deputy lieutenant was Fang Jiyan, who was born in Leling, as the captain of Yilu.
Fang Lei, who had a tenacious will to fight, became the chief general of the vanguard of the Central Guard Army and was appointed as the commander of Zhaowu, Kuai Yue, who was born in Gaoyang County, Qizhou, was appointed as the deputy general Yilu Lieutenant, and Zhao Yong, who was originally the captain of Wang Ze's personal guard, was unexpectedly appointed as the commander of the Zhaowu Commander of the Left Guard, directly crossing five or six ranks.
At first, many people doubted Zhao Yong's ability, this so-called captain of the guard was just a chief at first, and later became the captain of the guard, and there were only one or two hundred people under him, can he serve as such a captain with thousands of people.
In the face of everyone's suspicion, Zhao Yong gave Wang Ze a long face, although he and Guo Erlang, who were deputy generals, were a little busy at first, but after spending the first few days, the two quickly entered the state and managed a hodgepodge of teams in an orderly manner, which made some generals who were originally waiting to see jokes drop their jaws.
Puyang Yiwu, the chief general of the right guard army Zhaowu Duwei, is Puyang Xun's nephew, although there is nepotism, people have real skills, although they have not participated in the army for a long time, but they have made a lot of contributions in the infantry army, this time Wang Ze wanted to promote more young generals, so he was fancied.
As the deputy general of Puyang Yiwu, Huan Taiyu is worth mentioning, this person is also one of the militia leaders who assisted the blacksmiths of the Yidu Arsenal to defend the city, and came to the East China Sea after the retreat of the Yidu Arsenal.
After coming to the East China Sea, he entered Jiang Chuan's army as a captain of the army under the command of nearly 1,000 people, and had an outstanding record in the battle of attacking the Japanese State in the back, and was also favored by Wang Ze.
In addition to these four guards, because the main soldiers of the Su Guard Army are all soldiers from the Blue Wolf Battalion, and some of them are soldiers from the Kuyi and Beji Wild People, so its captain is Sima Hui, a native of Jeju, who was a captain under Chu Honghang of the former Blue Wolf Battalion, and the deputy general is Huo Manzi, a native of Changguang County, who was born in the Iron Armored Army.
As for Wang Ze's only Yulinwei composed of cavalry, the captain was served by the young Zhu Bofu, and Cheng Hu was the deputy of Zhu Bofu, serving as the captain of Yulu to lead all the heavy cavalry in Yulinwei, and Yulinwei had two types of cavalry with extraordinary combat effectiveness.
As the only naval army to enter the Central Protector Army, it can be said that this position is envied by all the naval generals, because they know that their little marquis has always been idle, and they will definitely have to move around in the future.
In this way, as the only sailor who follows the little marquis to move around, he can still fight pirates when he has nothing to do, bully the weak, not this is called presiding over justice, even if he can't beat the other party when he encounters a strong hand, he can also call the brothers of other sailors to shoulder to shoulder.
Ahem, that's wrong, it's called calling for friendly forces to help in the battle!
Therefore, every general of the navy wants to get this position, but who can enter must be decided by the little marquis.
In order to show fairness, Wang Ze passed a series of open competitions, and finally Gu Bin, who had followed Wang Ze for the longest time, was appointed as the captain of the Zhonghu Army, and Yang Feihu, who was originally from the Southern Liang Water Army, also passed the competition and finally entered Wang Ze's core leadership and served as a deputy general.
In this way, after the formation of the entire Central Guard Army, the three main divisions of the Central Guard Army, the Yulin Guard, and the Central Guard Army and the Navy Army will all have a temporary establishment of 2,000 people, and the other four departments will have a temporary establishment of 1,500 people, and the entire army will be temporarily established to 12,000 people.
After the formation of the Central Guard Army was completed, Shen Sanshui, who was the commander of the Central Guard Army, was entrusted by all the soldiers to invite Wang Ze to review, looking at all the soldiers of the Central Guard Army who had finished the formation, and the boss of more than 10,000 people, Wang Ze secretly thought to himself: Do you have to take such a group of little brothers to go out every time you go out in the future?
