Chapter 867: Northern Expedition

Once the plan is decided, it is necessary to have a committee or working group responsible for the work of reorganizing the army.

Jia Liu is so busy, how can he be free.

He is a man who also pays attention to efficiency, so after soliciting the opinions of some personnel on a small scale, he drew up a list of the principal members of the army rectification work committee that evening.

Since it is an army reorganization, the members of the committee must be mainly army generals.

Soon, the list was drawn up.

In principle, only generals above the general army (command) can be elected to the committee.

Therefore, the main members include Zu Yingyuan, the governor of Huguang, Baoning, the governor of Shaanxi, Gansu, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the new first town, Bao Guozhong, the commander of the new second town, and Chang Bingzhong, the commander of the new three towns, as well as Ruilin, the chief soldier of the Hubei army, the minister of the management of the army, Baozhu, the chief soldier of the three towns of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion, the chief soldier of the three towns of the Huguang Green Battalion, and the ministers of the escort army, Shi Ertai and Kang Guoli.

The position of director is held by Asiha, and the position of deputy director is played by Fan Wei temporarily.

The members of the committee have an office, which is responsible for all the day-to-day work of the army's reorganization, and is concurrently held by the Minister of Internal Affairs in charge.

The office also has two deputy directors in charge of daily work, one in charge of personnel and the other in charge of finance.

The personnel part is in charge of Sun Chengyun, director of the Xingyuan Organization;

The financial part is in charge of Li An'an, the chief accountant of the bank.

The work report of the committee is to be submitted in two copies, one to His Majesty the Emperor and the other to the Governor of Xiangyangbo, that is, to the Prime Minister's Office.

After the completion of the work of reorganizing the army, the committee was immediately dissolved, and all the seconded personnel returned to their units, not occupying the establishment of the imperial court, and the necessary expenses were temporarily allocated by the Finance Department of the Executive Yuan, and they were reimbursed by ticket after the establishment of the Household Department.

The main reason why all the generals above the general army level were stuffed into the committee was that Jia Liu considered that the work of reorganizing the army in all dynasties was a very professional, very cumbersome, and easy errand to offend people, so in order to prevent the various hills from having conflicting opinions and demolishing each other in the process of reorganizing the army, and ignoring the interests of the imperial court for the sake of personal interests, he simply stuffed the main responsible persons of each hill into this committee.

In this way, whether it is fighting, arguing, or fighting, it is up to them.

But whoever dares to take his opinion out of the committee, his majesty the emperor will have to ask the internal affairs committee to invite him to tea.

The factions are quite obvious.

But this is something that no Emperor Taizu can solve.

Jia Liu is no exception.

After having dinner with Azu and the others, Jia Liu left Asiha and Fan Wei alone, and let Zhu Zhu also stay.

Have a closed-door meeting.

After throwing a cigarette to Lao A, Jia Liu got straight to the point: "Lao A, do you know why I asked you to take on the work of the whole army this time?" ”

"Minions,"

Lao Ah stretched out his hand to take the cigarette, and instinctively stood up to reply.

"Sit, sit down and talk, this is me talking to you behind closed doors, don't kneel and stand still."

Jia Liu raised his hand and stuffed the cigarette into his mouth, calmly accepting Lao A's ignition service.

Fan Wei and Zhu Zhu looked at each other, and they both showed disdain.

Because Lao Ah, this sycophant is too much.

The latter whispered in his heart: Asiha showed that he was an incompetent waste, but he was actually an old fox, otherwise how could he go up and down, and now he has successfully jumped on the five-star luxury cruise ship of his own young master, and is about to become a great hero of the new dynasty.

Therefore, under the corrosion of Lao A's spare no effort, will the young master who is not firm enough in his own family become corrupt and degenerate and lose his ideals and beliefs?

The bolt pillar is as deep as if the artificial intelligence had an independent consciousness.

"The emperor handed over such a heavy task to the minions, how could the minions not know the emperor's intentions!"

After lighting a cigarette for His Majesty the Emperor, Lao Ah bowed back and sat down carefully, of course, only half of his buttocks.

Jia Liu was satisfied, and spit out a smoke ring: "Let's talk about it." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lao Ah straightened his mind and said: "The slave thinks that the emperor will hand over such a heavy task to the slave, not because the slave has any great skills, how much he has contributed to the country, or how many practical things he has done for the people, but because the slave is honest, loyal to the emperor, and hard work... Of course, the most important thing is that the slaves are Manchurians. ”

Jia Liu nodded and motioned for Lao Ah to continue.

"This reorganization of the army is of great significance to our Qing Dynasty and to the emperor, not only can effectively strengthen the emperor's command of all troops, but also make the orders of all troops clear and obey from top to bottom...

At the same time, the whole army can also make the Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers under the command of the emperor well integrated, improve cohesion and combat effectiveness...

As for the minions, they are the ones who helped His Majesty fuse the Eight Banners and the Green Camp soldiers together, and the reason is that the minions are authentic and old!

The emperor can rest assured that the servants will resolutely implement the guiding principles of the Qihan family, and will never favor the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners in the process of reorganizing the army, let alone discriminate against the officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion..."

"Yes, you can think of this, it is not in vain that I am heavy on you, and I will give you such an important burden."

Asha's clear understanding of his role positioning makes Jia Liu no longer have to emphasize it with him.

I can't help but think that if the whole army work is done well, the later military rank work can also be done by Lao Agan.

In this way, the army of the Qing Dynasty can completely say goodbye to the past, and the glory belonging to the Eight Banners will be completely swept into the coffin of history.

Since Lao A knew everything about his work, Jia Liu didn't talk nonsense, and then gave a few instructions.

That is, in addition to taking into account factors such as the actual strength, combat effectiveness, and weaponry of each unit, it is also necessary to consider the historical situation of each unit when reorganizing each unit.

For example, the core of the Huguang Green Battalion, the former Sichuan Green Battalion, Jinchuan Town, the core of the Second Town of the New Army, the former Sichuan Green Battalion, Chengdu Town, as well as the Rehe Cavalry Unit, which was reorganized from the Beijing Division's horse infantry, and the Solun Battalion, their own personal guards, all made important contributions in history, so we should pay attention to the use of these ace troops during the reorganization and try to keep them as organized as possible, so as to play a greater role in the future of the Qing Dynasty.

In addition, in addition to looking at the past history, the appointment of senior generals such as commanders, staff officers, and commanders of various armies should also comprehensively consider the value of loyalty and contribution, not to ensure that all appointments are 100% objective, but also to ensure that the majority of people are satisfied.

When it comes to posts and grades in the work of reorganizing the army, we must also follow the principle of corresponding posts and grades.

Don't have a high position and a low position, and don't have a low position and a high match.

In addition, it is necessary to make detailed plans in advance for the allocation of money, food, and materials, and for the change of guard of the troops, so that the troops must not be left in a hurry.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Lao Ah nodded while carefully recording the emperor's instructions with a pen.

Jia Liu looked more and more satisfied, and then looked at Fan Wei and Zhu Zhu, who were holding the tea bowl with Erlang's legs, and the more he looked at it, the more he didn't like it.

Hang Erlang, no shape.

Sitting or not sitting, which looks like a court official, looks more like a foam monkey and crown.

Due to Lao A's presence, it was inconvenient to have a seizure, so he put down Erlang's leg and told Lao A that after the work of the whole army was completed, he might have to go on a northern expedition.

Strive to recover the Beijing Division before the end of the summer.

The main forces of the Northern Expedition were the First Army and the Second Army, so in the area of officers and experienced veterans, it was necessary to appropriately tilt towards the First and Second Armies.

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door by a guard, and the bolt pillar received a letter from the crack in the door, and when he saw the sender, he did not dare to open it, so he hurriedly handed the letter to the young master.

It is a handwritten letter from the old man of Wuchang.

The father-in-law will send a delegation to escort his daughter and grandson to Xiangyang and consult with his son-in-law on the current situation.

The head of the delegation was Chen Huizu, the puppet governor of Huguang.
