Chapter Eighty-Three: Forming the Huaxia Army

After dispersing, Wu Zhi said goodbye to Zhang Chun and Zhang Qi, who looked a little embarrassed, and after bidding farewell to An Tao, Lin Xi, Xu Jiang and others, he returned to the front of the palace alone. He also had to slowly get acquainted with the affairs of the front division of the palace, and get familiar with the large and small officials of the front division of the palace.

Back at the front of the palace, Wu Zhi found Liu Quan and asked how many troops the front secretary of the palace had reported to receive salaries, and when he heard Liu Quan answer that there were about 65,000 people, he could only smile bitterly and send Liu Quan away. Yan Sheng and Li Tingyu saw that Wu Zhi's face was unswerving, cloudy and uncertain, and they all slipped away quietly, leaving him alone to sit on the handsome seat of the White Tiger Festival Hall in a daze.

The 30 percent empty pay rate seems to have indeed fattened a group of people, and the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army is worrying! Wu Zhi sat in his seat, silently thinking. It seems that these forbidden troops can't be counted on, and he can only hope for the new army and the forbidden army stationed outside, especially the hundreds of thousands of Northwest Forbidden Army, which is the real main force, and he has to find a way to grasp it in his hands.

Five days later, in the early dynasty, Zhao Xu announced the leadership of the measurement department, and Wu Zhi concurrently served as the measurement secretary, leading everything; Wu Juhou, the left Cao Shilang of the household department, also served as the deputy envoy, specifically responsible for measuring and liquidating tax matters; The other members are drawn from the various treasurers. Wu Juhou is an upright and capable little old man, fifty-eight years old, upright and good. The front division of the palace chose to send forbidden officers and soldiers to accompany him to assist in measuring and liquidating, and he could deal with and arrest at any time in case of trouble, and act cheaply.

This time, Zhao Xu directly bypassed Cai Jing, the head of the household, and left him aside. Cai Jing opposed Wu Zhi three times and twice, and Zhao Xu's impression of him became worse and worse. Cai Jing stood in the crowd, very embarrassed, but helpless, only smiled bitterly, and became more and more jealous of Wu Zhilai in his heart.

Then, Zhao Xu took out Wu Zhi's proposal to form a new army for everyone to discuss, and after Wu Zhi's recital to form a new army was circulated by everyone, no one stood up to stop and oppose it.

The Red Guard Battalion of the New Army showed great might in the great war against Western Xia in the northwest last time, and its achievements were obvious to all, and now if there are still people who come out to oppose it, it may be suspected of its bad intentions. It's just that everyone is still very unfamiliar and curious about the structure and title of the new army, and there are mixed tastes and discussions.

Therefore, the unanimous approval and after discussion decided to follow Wu Zhi's proposal and select 30,000 officers and soldiers under the age of 40 from among the forbidden army to form a new army, which will be named the Huaxia Army. It was decided to organize the Huaxia Army into one corps, three divisions, nine brigades, 27 regiments, 81 battalions, 243 companies, 729 platoons, and 2,187 squads. The Huaxia Army has a military department, with Wu Zhi as the commander and Yan Sheng and Li Tingyu as the deputy commanders. There are three divisions, named the First Division of the Huaxia Army, the Second Division of the Huaxia Army and the Third Division of the Huaxia Army, each division has more than 10,000 people, the commander of the first division (commander of the division) Lin Chong, and the deputy commander of the division (deputy commander of the division) Sun Qi; Wang Jin, commander of the second division, and Li Tingliang, deputy commander of the division, all four were promoted to one level; Feng Kun, commander of the Third Division, and Gan Ziyue, deputy commander of the division, both of whom were previously commanders and deputy commanders of the Japanese army, were also appointed to the first level. The chief and deputy commanders of each brigade, regiment, battalion, company, and platoon shall be drawn up by the military department at the next level and submitted to the imperial court for approval. Moreover, a staff department and a logistics support department were set up under the military department, and Guo Cheng was promoted to chief of staff of the staff department. promoted Zhe Keshi and Wei Zhao to serve as deputy chiefs of staff of the General Staff, and they were six products; A number of staff officers of the General Staff Department were selected from the Northwest Army and from the Eighth Rank. The logistics support department promoted Lang Zhong Zeng Kuan to the post of six products; The deputy ministers were promoted by Zhang Zhen, a member of the household department, and Liang Zhuo, a member of the military department, respectively, from the sixth grade; Other logistics personnel are drawn up by the military department of the Huaxia Army. The Huaxia Army became an independent army and belonged to the front division of the palace, and other forbidden armies were not allowed to interfere. The salary of the Huaxia Army is equivalent to that of the Superior Forbidden Army, and it is paid in full every month.

The camp of the new army of the Huaxia Army was located near the Northeast Water Gate outside the outer city, which was backed by a large piece of low mountain woodland and could be used as a training ground.

At the same time, a firearms bureau was set up, which was under the ordnance supervision system, and craftsmen were widely selected to specialize in the research and development and manufacture of new weapons. The Ordnance Superintendent sent a supervisor surnamed Shen Mingchong to temporarily manage the Firearms Bureau.

Wu Zhi suddenly held four positions and became a hot political star in the DPRK, and he is also very young, and his future is limitless! Everyone has moved their minds, and it is estimated that they will have to be more close and close in the future.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, many people took the initiative to come forward to congratulate him, and Wu Zhi did not refuse to accept all the orders, and bowed his hands one by one, and the number of courtesies was added and impartial.

With the emperor's edict, Wu Zhi came to the front of the palace and found Yan Sheng and Li Tingyu to discuss how to select recruits to form the Huaxia Army.

Yan Sheng and Li Tingyu were very happy to see that they could both participate in the formation of the Huaxia Army and that they were both second-in-command. They have learned the miracle of the Red Guard Battalion, and if they can use the exploits of the Huaxia Army to go further, it will be something they dream of. If they didn't have military merit, it would be more difficult for them to go further in their current position than to ascend to the sky. Therefore, when I heard that Wu Zhi asked the two of them to implement the formation of the Huaxia Army, they were all enthusiastic, and they couldn't wait to pat their chests and make a military order.

Wu Zhi still has more important things to do, that is, to track the trial situation of the paving into the mu, control the direction, and ensure that the paving into the mu cannot die in his hands. Moreover, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the affairs of the army are still done by the soldiers, so he, a layman, should not meddle in the specific affairs of the Huaxia Army. As the supreme leader of the Huaxia Army, he only needs to take a good direction and lead the overall situation. Moreover, the decoration, expansion and renovation of the Hou Mansion also require him to visit and inspect the site from time to time, supervise the progress of the project, and control the quality of the project.

After explaining the selection of recruits and the formation of the Huaxia Army, after the three of them discussed the general implementation plan, Wu Zhishou drafted two instructions and handed them over, letting the two of them set up the team and draw up the candidates for the chief and deputy commanders of the brigade, regiment, battalion, company, and platoon, and then arranged for personnel to select recruits in the various forbidden armies around the capital. After the formation of the Huaxia Army, the training matters of each division must be decided by each division, and the two can participate and supervise, but they must not interfere! Yan Sheng and Li Tingyu didn't care about it after hearing this, and happily agreed, and then floated away with Wu Zhi's warrant and immediately threw themselves into the work of forming the Huaxia Army.

Naturally, Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo and Si Fangguo were specially proposed by Wu Zhi to serve as the regimental position (regimental commander) or deputy regimental position of Huaxia Army Congqipin, Yan Sheng and Li Tingyu both understood and quickly wrote down the names of the three people.

After Wu Zhi waited for the two of them to leave, he had a simple lunch, and then left the front division of the palace, returned home first, and took Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo and Si Fangguo to the Red Guard Battalion, which was independently stationed in the camp of the right wing army of Long Shenwei.

Hearing of Wu Zhi's arrival, Sun Xin, the commander of the right wing army of Long Shenwei, led Zhang Yonghe, Lin Chong, Wang Jin, Sun Qi, Li Tingliang and others to go out to greet him, and the scene was very grand. After Wu Zhi was promoted because of merit, he once mentioned that Sun Xin had meritorious service in assisting in the formation of the Red Guard Battalion, so the vacant position of commander of the right wing fell to Sun Xin's head, and Zhang Yong, the commander of the military capital, became the deputy commander of the right wing.

Everyone respectfully welcomed Wu Zhi into the camp, Wu Zhi was their old boss, so naturally they sat down in the first seat, and everyone sat down in order. Wu Zhi took out the emperor's edict and showed it to everyone, explained his intention, and said that he would take away the Red Guard Camp today.

Sun Xin, Zhang Yong and others were envious when they heard this. No, in the blink of an eye, Lin Chong, Wang Jin, Sun Qi, Li Tingliang and others were promoted to the next level, and Lin Chong and Wang Jin's official positions were equivalent to Zhang Yong's deputy commander of the right wing, and they were six grades; Sun Qi and Li Tingliang were also promoted to commanders of the military capital, from the sixth grade. Lin Chong, Wang Jin and the other four were even more happy. Sun Xin was also happy that his own brother Sun Qi had been promoted to another level.

After meeting and talking for a while, Lin Chong, Wang Jin, Sun Qi, Li Tingliang, Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo, Si Fangguo and others got up and returned to the camp of the Red Guard Camp and began to prepare for the relocation. Sun Xin and Zhang Yong continued to accompany Wu Zhi, drinking tea and chatting, and waited slowly.

More than two hours later, the officers and soldiers of the Red Guard Battalion finished cleaning up, and when Lin Chong, Wang Jin, Sun Qi, Li Tingliang, Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo, Si Fangguo and others gathered the Red Guard Battalion team, Wu Zhi led everyone back to the Tianwu Army camp in front of the palace, and temporarily arranged to be stationed in a corner of the Tianwu Army camp.

All the officers and soldiers of the Red Guard Battalion were also very happy when they saw Wu Zhi, the old boss, and after Wu Zhi was transferred to the Tianwu Army Battalion, they knew that they had a new mission, and they were even more excited. In their minds, Wu Zhi is their god! As long as they can follow Wu Zhi, they will be able to make meritorious contributions.

After the Red Guard camp was settled, Wu Zhi took Lin Chong, Wang Jin, Sun Qi, Li Tingliang, Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo, Si Fangguo and others to get to know the generals of the Tianwu Army one by one. Then he led seven people into the palace from the left gate, came to the front of the palace, introduced Yan Sheng, Li Tingyu and Liu Quan and others to each other, and asked the seven people to report to Yan Sheng and Li Tingyu, and Yan Sheng and Li Tingyu assigned them tasks, clarified their responsibilities, and did a good job in the division of labor.

After deliberations among the people, it was decided to promote all the more than 1,000 officers and men of the Red Guard Battalion to leading posts above the platoon level of the Huaxia Army, and to serve as the chief and deputy commanders of the brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, and platoons in order according to their official ranks.

Hearing that Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo and Si Fangguo were still Wu Zhi's apprentices, Yan Sheng, Li Tingyu and Liu Quan and others couldn't help but be in awe, and paid more and more attention to and attention to these three young men.

By the time the matter was dealt with, the sun was already setting and the sunset was full. Wu Zhi was happy in his heart, so he proposed that he invite him to have a meal, and everyone went to the nearby alum tower to have a meal together, as a sign of the establishment of the Huaxia Army. When everyone heard that Wu Zhi, the marquis, was going to invite them to dinner, and they were going to Alum Tower to eat, their eyes immediately lit up with joy and they were overjoyed.

Alum Building, also called Alum Building, is started by selling alum, and slowly developed into the most famous restaurant in Beijing, among which famous prostitutes gathered, before the Zhuangyuan Building became famous, it has always been the leader of the Beijing restaurant industry, the benchmark in the Beijing restaurant, countless wealthy businessmen, princes and grandsons, literati and all like to come here to play and feast, chant poems, buy drunk, in order to win a smile from the beauty.

Wu Zhi has been in the capital for almost two years, and he has not patronized the alum tower, "the lights are on the alum tower in the middle of the night", and today he also wants to take this opportunity to see it.
