Chapter 616: I Can't Laugh

After inspecting the officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion Daimyo, Jia Liu set off from the Daimyo's Mansion to Tianjin.

He did not make any personnel transfers to the Daimyo Town, and replaced the main officers with his own people, because he found that the overall combat effectiveness of the Zhili Green Battalion was relatively low, and the quality of the soldiers was also very poor.

Therefore, instead of wasting energy on the adjustment and reorganization of the Zhili Green Battalion, it is better to start from scratch to organize and train the new army.

It is planned to train the new army in two places, one in Tianjin and the other in Baoding.

In this way, the east and west sides strangled the Jingshi.

At the same time, he opened a military academy in Baoding, began a formalized military academy education, and became addicted to the principal.

He has all the inscriptions ready, just waiting for the ribbon cutting to open.

Jin Feng sent happiness, and the boss made a fortune.

With a gun in his hand, the wealth is rolling in.

Of course, this is also respect for history, and Baoding, the capital of Zhili Province, was originally the birthplace of China's modern army.

It is initially planned to train the new army in three towns in Tianjin, with 6,000 people in each town;

In Baoding, two towns trained new troops, and each town also had 6,000 people.

In fact, it means that one town is one brigade.

With a total of 30,000 new troops in the five towns, plus more than 10,000 protectors, you can control the direct force of the two armies at once.

Compared with building roads, engaging in trade, and engaging in industry, the cost of training the new army is actually the least.

At present, the fixed salary of the green battalion soldiers is only about 10 taels a year, so even if they are doubled in order to improve the morale of the recruits, and add supporting weapons, military clothing, food supplements, etc., a soldier will only use about 40 taels a year.

30,000 people is 1,200,000 taels.

This expense, he Jia Liu can fully afford it.

The question is under what name to train the new army.

Lao Fu agreed that Jia Liu, the governor of Zhili, could build an army to protect merchants during the Beiyang trade period, but that was the formation of the naval division, not the army.

Therefore, Jia Liuda organized and trained 30,000 troops with great fanfare, and the old rich man in Beijing was blind to let him do this.

Therefore, it must be famous.

The other is how to place the more than 30,000 battalions and flag soldiers in Zhili.

It is obviously impossible to dismiss all of them, and it seems that it is not a long-term strategy to continue to raise, and they are worried about this matter all the way, until they enter the territory of Tianjin, and suddenly pat their heads and scold themselves for not being a lake.

The big head of ready-made experience is there, and it is directly moved.

That is, a part of the elite of the green battalion will be selected to be added to the new army, the remaining part will be reorganized into local police, and the other part will be changed into auxiliary services such as engineering road troops.

As long as the treatment of soldiers is improved and the senior officers are given a better way out and future, there is no need to worry about these green flags making the Governor Tajia rebel.

The general idea is that Jia Liu gave a general explanation to Li An'an, Ding Qing and others who accompanied him, and asked them to draw up a specific charter in the next few days.

In the name of the new army's training, he looked back and carefully pondered whether it was a sheep's head to sell dog meat, or a civil uprising in Zhili.

The main reason for going to Tianjin was to get the full support and cooperation of Xu Ji, the governor of Tianjin.

The governor of Tianjin was nominally under the control of the governor of Zhili, but in fact there was no clear subordinate relationship between the two to restrain each other, because the governor was a feudal territory, and the governor was also a feudal territory, and both also had the power to be directly responsible to the emperor (imperial court).

Before Yongzheng, there was no governor in Zhili, but there were governors in Zhili, Xuanfu, Tianjin, Baoding, and Shuntian.

Until Yongzheng set up a governor, retained the governor of Tianjin, and abolished the governors in addition.

Therefore, Jia Liu couldn't use the governor's authority to force Xu Ji, the governor, to cooperate, so he could only lure him on the road and make the cake together through the way of equal interests.

It's like sharing a cake on the banks of the Grand Canal.

On the way, I inspected the river by the way, and I was also a layman, that is, I pretended to take people to walk around the river embankment and listen to the constructive opinions of local officials on the river.

There is no way, who let him, the governor of Zhili, also serve as the governor of Beihe River.

In the seventh year of Yongzheng, in order to further strengthen the management of the canal, the Qing court divided the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal into three river governors, namely the governor of the Jiangnan River (also known as the governor of the Nanhe), to manage the affairs of the Huang, Huai and canal in Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, and was stationed in Qingjiangpu;

The Governor of Shandong River in Henan, also known as the Governor of Hedong River or the Governor of East River, manages the affairs of the Yellow River and the Canal in Shandong and Henan Provinces, and is stationed in Jining;

The Governor of the Beihe River manages the affairs of the rivers and canals of the Haihe River system, and the Governor of the River is also the Governor of Zhili.

Jia Liu's predecessor, Zhou Yuanli, had previously been transferred from the Governor of Nanhe.

Although the Yamen of the Governor of Beihe River was merged with the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, there was a branch of the Yamen in Tianjin, whose members were mainly water conservancy experts of this era, which was equivalent to the water conservancy committee.

After listening to the reports of local officials and water conservancy experts, Jia Liu symbolically gave some instructions on how to control the river, and then continued his journey to Tianjin.

During his stay in Qingxian County on the way, he deliberately changed into civilian clothes and paid a private visit.

The security guards in charge of security brought dozens of guards to change into civilian clothes and protect them secretly.

After walking around the county, the people's livelihood economy is better, because after all, it is along the canal economic belt, and the people's livelihood level is higher than that in other regions.

didn't meet any scoundrels who bullied people, and the ruffians bullied men and women, which made Jia Liu a little disappointed, because the story of the "Daqing Daily" about the Governor's breaking of the eucalyptus has recently been stopped because of the lack of material.

According to the Inspectorate, in order to cooperate with the construction project of the Governor's Qingtian image, the Yamen side is intensively inspecting the whole province, hoping to find out some eucalyptus for the Governor's personal examination.

Back at Xingyuan, just as he was about to rest, the bolt returned.

It looked like he was a few pounds heavier than when he went, which made Jia Liu realize the seriousness of the problem, and couldn't help but ask, "Have you taken a bribe?" ”

Zhu Zhu hurriedly said no, the conscience of heaven and earth, not a penny will be confiscated.

"Accepted the arrangement?"

"Nope."

"Got a souvenir?"

"Not either."

"Huh?"

Jia Liu's brows suddenly furrowed slightly, "Impossible, how can Wang Fu, a kid who is such a good person, not win over and corrupt you?" ”

Zhu Zhu looked uneven: "Young master, don't think of us as good as you?" ”

"Isn't it?"

Jia Liu's face was happy, not to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and asked the bolt pillar to carefully explain the situation in Huguang.

Listen from time to time, look at the map from time to time.

Zhu Zhu said that Wang Fu planned to let Chongqing Town be used as a pilot project to surrender to Chongqing Town first, and then let Chengdu Town surrender to it, so as to set off a wave of Qing army's surrender and raise the anti-Qing struggle to a new level.

"This is Zu Yingyuan's plan, if the young master wants to see it, they will start to prepare."

Jia Liu took a closer look, and Zu Dashou's great-grandson actually wanted to make Chongqing Town rebel at a critical time during the "key attack" of Fengsheng's forehead, and put Fengsheng's forehead to death.

This fucking is really an ancestral craft, just like the end of the Ming Dynasty.

"If Feng Shengyi dies, who can preside over the Huguang War? Will it get worse? ”

Jia Liuti couldn't write the word "agree" for a long time, he was not worried that Wang Fu and Zu Yingyuan would not be able to kill Feng Sheng, but he was worried that Feng Sheng's death would cause worse consequences than Chen Huizu's defection to the enemy.

Seeing this, the bolt reminded him: "Young master, if you don't take Fengsheng's name as a vote, you may not trust our past people." ”

"That's right, but the price is too great, Feng Sheng's amount is a loyal minister of our Qing Dynasty, although his talent is second only to me, but he is younger than me, so he sacrificed, I can't laugh a little."

Jia Liuwei sighed, and finally approved the word "agree" on Zu Yingyuan's request report, and the Huguang Communist Party of China implemented it.

When he looked up again, he had a kind smile on his face: "Zhusang, you tell me honestly, how much benefit did you get from this time?" You have to be honest, I only need half of it. If you don't confess honestly, you will confiscate it. ”
