Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Wang Zhenyu's Ninth Brigade was also positioned for abolishment without hesitation. In fact, Tan Yankai was very dissatisfied with the status quo of Wang Zhenyu's separatist side, but he could only acquiesce due to many reasons.

But acquiescing does not mean acquiescing. Tan Yankai temporarily takes Wang Zhenyu as a lunatic (a person who is not insane dares to stage a mutiny in Changsha, dare to use a brigade to attack a division, the most terrible thing is not a person who is a mess, the most terrible thing is a person who is not a mess but is fine )no way.But it does not mean that he has no small actions. Setting up the guarding of the envoy in Fenghuang was his first action. It is a pity that Wang Zhenyu actually knew Tian Yingzhao, and he easily resolved the possible crisis; so the disarmament was the second action, and Tan Yankai made up his mind. , It is necessary to revoke the number. Even if Wang Zhenyu can maintain the army, I will not give him a penny of military salary.In fact, after the Tiger Brigade left Changsha, Tan Yankai never paid another dime to the Ministry.

These are trivial matters. The most troublesome thing for Wang Zhenyu now is, once the Tiger Brigade's designation is revoked, under what name should his department continue to exist.In addition, there are issues of army expansion and standard preparation. Wang Zhenyu knows that the army is the foundation of everything he has now, so he will never be stingy when it comes to the army.But the money must be spent clearly and in the right place, so he called such an emergency meeting. . .

Before the military meeting, Wang Zhenbang, who had just finished three months of study in the teaching team and returned to the third brother Wang Zhenyu's side as secretary, was very enthusiastically pouring tea for the chief officers attending the meeting.

Wang Zhenyu said jokingly: "This is the best Yuanling Guanzhuang tea. It was honored by the newly elected county magistrate. It turned out to be dedicated to the emperor. But gold is expensive, so everyone, don't drink it for nothing. Drink it for nothing. Come up with an idea!"

Wan Yaohuang, who had just praised the good tea, almost knocked his teacup to the ground without trembling: "I said, everyone, our commander has lived with Hong Jiang for a long time, and the businessman's spirit is getting stronger and stronger. In a word, pick it up! "

"Hahaha..." The people at the scene were immediately overjoyed.

Wang Zhenyu rolled his eyes: "What's wrong with the businessman's anger, without me, the head of the family, picking everyone up, what do you eat and drink? Don't talk nonsense, taste it quickly, and come up with an idea when you're done."

Everyone laughed again. . .

The general structure of the army has always been a big problem that has troubled Wang Zhenyu. This time it coincides with the disarmament, and it is obvious that the department has lost its designation.In fact, if it is used well, it is an opportunity to completely privatize the army; if it is not used well, it will cause great trouble.

Chief of Staff Yang Wangui was the first to speak: "Marshal, my idea is that bad things turn into good things. Don't we want to withdraw our designation? We simply became a whole by ourselves, and the department was reorganized into the Xiangxi garrison. You are the commander-in-chief. The subordinates We can set up as many units as the system requires, such as the first garrison division or the second division, anyway, we have money now, so we can afford it.”

After listening to Chief of Staff Yang's words, everyone thought it made sense and nodded.Just kidding, if we could get a few garrison divisions out, the worst thing here would be a major general.

Wang Zhenyu knocked on the table, suppressing the growing discussion voice: "Does Deputy Brigadier Commander Xu have any opinions?"

After pondering for a while, Xu Yuanquan leaned forward and said, "Actually, it's easy to talk about the organizational system. The key is the actual combat effectiveness of the army. Our army's current firepower configuration and equipment actually don't have a uniform standard. Although the salary is high, However, it is not ahead of other domestic armies in terms of equipment. When fighting, it depends entirely on the quality of individual soldiers. Now that we are industrializing, can we set up military factories. First, we will unify our supply and equipment standards, and then If the firepower is strengthened a little bit, the combat effectiveness will be guaranteed.”

Everyone began to express their opinions one after another. Zhou Lan's opinion was to strengthen the training of leading troops, especially the reconnaissance troops.Wan Yaohuang's opinion is to put all the existing officers into the first phase of the Xiangxi Military Academy, which is about to start. There are two types of crash courses and ordinary courses.

Liu Xing's opinion is that the work of the recruit base should be strengthened and the construction should be accelerated, and there is some confusion between military ranks and ranks, which should be resolved as soon as possible.

Wang Zhenyu listened carefully and earnestly, and took notes one by one.

After everyone expressed their opinions, Wang Zhenyu made a summary: "Everyone's comments are very good. I have gained some inspiration from your opinions. Now I will talk about my thinking."

The officers opened their small notebooks one after another, took out their pens, and prepared to record.

"First, the problem of the formation of the army. My meaning is very clear. As Chief of Staff Yang said, set up the Xiangxi garrison. The specific organizational system is to establish three garrison brigades and four independent regiments. The organizational system of the garrison brigade is two regiments and three The battalion system, the independent regiment is six small regiments with a strengthened company system. The strength of the brigade is tentatively set at 5000, and the strength of the independent regiment is tentatively set at 1200. The total number of field troops is 4000. In addition, the current guard regiment is reorganized It is the Guards Brigade, with a total strength of [-]. As for the officer candidates for the four brigades and four regiments, I will make a decision before the official expansion. This depends on the performance of the military academy.”

"Secondly, for the issue of army weapon configuration standards, we still need to come up with a standard at present. I personally think that the brigade level must have an artillery battalion, and the independent regiment level must have an artillery company. The infantry equipment must pay attention to strengthen protection At the same time, the style and caliber of the rifles should be unified as soon as possible. Not only the equipment, but also the standard of the military uniform and identification marks. I want to hand over this work to Deputy Brigadier Commander Xu.”

"The third is the issue of the link between the guarding mission and the army. The Xiangxi garrison is an armed force under the command of the guarding mission. My thinking is this. There are three departments under the guarding mission, the staff office, the combat department, and the armament department. The General Staff Office is responsible for military equipment and the appointment and dismissal of officers; the Operations Division is mainly responsible for daily training and combat planning; the Armament Department is mainly responsible for military industry and supplies; Do you have any comments? If you have no comments, I mean that Lao Yang will continue to serve as the chief of the staff department, Lao Xu will serve as the chief of the combat department, and Ma Xicheng will serve as the chief of the armaments department."

All the people present here are human beings, and any fool can see that the purpose of Wang Zhenyu's establishment of the three departments is to firmly control the army through the three departments, so as to avoid the phenomenon of small army leaders and small warlords in the army.If you think about it, what is the basis of power? Finance and personnel. Now that these two items have been received from the chief officers of the troops at all levels and received by the staff office, who can form small groups in their own ranks?Even if you want to do it, what can you do with it?

Now that the boss has thought of this step, what else can everyone do besides raising their hands in favor?Could it be that he publicly opposed it and told the boss clearly that he wanted to rebel?

Wang Zhenyu really laughed this time, from the bottom of his heart. . .

Wang Zhenyu then said to Yang Wangui: "In addition to daily work, this staff office also needs to take care of one job. My idea is that the staff office should also be responsible for the security forces. This security team is on some traffic arteries. Set up strongholds to serve as a warning, similar to ancient beacon towers."

Yang Wangui bowed his head and took notes carefully, without expressing his personal opinion.

It was Wan Yaohuang who asked vigilantly: "Marshal, who should we focus on next?"

Wang Zhenyu said in a deep voice: "This is the core of our Xiangxi Group. I won't hide it from you. Liuzhou and Changde are two directions. Everyone should pay more attention to it. Liu Xianshi in Guizhou is actually Cai E's now. People, everyone should pay attention, Cai E is an outstanding man, maybe the Yunnan army will enter our territory in western Hunan that day."

These words are definitely not for nothing. Historically, the forces of the Yunnan Army and the Guizhou Army have entered Xiangxi many times.Whether it was the war to protect the country or protect the law, the last time the war entered Xiangxi was Yuan Zuming, the general of the Guizhou Army, but this time the ending of entering was not very good.Tang Shengzhi's confidant general Zhou Lan set up a Hongmen banquet for Yuan Zuming and took care of it directly.Now that Zhou Lan is under Wang Zhenyu's tent, it is estimated that there is no chance of acting like this again, but in Wang Zhenyu's heart, the territory in western Hunan must never be allowed to touch the Dian army and the Qian army, and this matter cannot be discussed.And if possible, Wang Zhenyu also wants to play Guizhou's idea if his strength allows. Grandma's, and that province is as rich as Guizhou, a huge southwest coal sea, and the country's richest non-ferrous metal mining area.As for the fact that Guizhou and Xinjiang will become impoverished provinces in later generations, it is entirely because of institutional problems. The strange phenomenon of sitting on a golden mountain and begging for food is probably considered a Chinese characteristic. Thanks to the eldest sons of the Republic, there is no one more shameless than you.

But at the moment, with my little strength, I'd better give it a try.All fools know that Cai E's big tiger is quietly accumulating strength and observing the situation across the country.It's better not to provoke him with such a little flesh.

But Changde and Liuzhou are different. Li County Guardian Wang Zhenya is entrenched in Changde area, but his strength is seriously insufficient.Not to mention that there are less than [-] armed forces under his command, what's more serious is that there are various forces in his jurisdiction.In history, Wang Zhenya was able to secure his position in Changde because he was very accurate in standing in line. Although he was a hero of the civilian army like Wang Zhenyu, he did not hesitate to stand on the side of Beiyang whether it was the second revolution or the war to protect the law.Wang Zhenyu can't learn this kind of sloppy kung fu, so he can only bow down.

As for Liuzhou, Wang Zhenyu remembered that there were two big bosses in the old Gui family in history, one was Lu Rongting and the other was Shen Hongying.Since Lu Rongting is the governor of Guangxi, he must dominate Nanning.Shen Hongying should be entrenched in the northern Guangxi area, but according to the information sent back by the secret agents sent by He Jian to Liuzhou, the current boss of the northern Guangxi area or Liuzhou is the chief of the Guangxi Youjiang military government branch and the fifth army of the Guangxi army. Command Liu Guxiang.This person is a hard-core member of the Tongmenghui. He followed Sun Dapao in 1907 and participated in the famous Guangzhou Uprising, but he was too lucky to be buried in Huanghuagang. He and Tan Yankai were in a hurry when the [-] Revolution broke out. Confederation is different.As for Shen Hongying, he was actually a bandit, and he is still making a living under Liu Guxiang.Don't underestimate the profession of banditry. Lu Rongting, the nominal ruler of Guangxi, is also a leader in this industry, and in the Republic of China, there were bandits who became heads of state. It can be seen that there is still a future for this profession.

Wang Zhenyu thought about it carefully, since the current boss is Liu Guxiang, but Shen Hongying is the leader in history.Then there is only one conclusion, black eating black, just don't know when it was eaten?

This damn history textbook, why can't it be detailed, how can a history textbook with only results but no process be a mirror?Taking history as a mirror, I think taking shit as a mirror is almost the same.

But it doesn't matter, Wang Zhenyu is still very satisfied with He Jian's work in the Military Intelligence Department, and believes that with the hard work of these secret agents, his hegemony will eventually be realized.Haha, just thinking about Wang Zhenyu makes me happy.

Chapter 110 Great Development ([-])

"Marshal, our Xiangxi military budget has been released, please have a look." Ma Xicheng politely handed over the account book.

Wang Zhenyu took over the accounts and looked at them carefully. The remuneration of the army was confirmed when he was in Wuhan. The remuneration is as follows: the monthly salary of the brigade officer is 180 yuan, and the compensation for the disabled is 120 yuan; the monthly salary of the regimental officer is 80 yuan, and the pension is 1000 yuan Two hundred yuan; a monthly salary of 50 yuan for a principal position in the camp, and 30 yuan for a pension; a monthly salary of 20 yuan for a joint principal, and 20 yuan for a pension; a monthly salary of 80 yuan for a senior position, and a pension of 15 yuan; 150% of the staff at the same level are dealt with.The recruits are private soldiers, with a monthly salary of eight months, [-] yuan for settling down, and [-] yuan for pensions.First-class soldiers are veterans who have served for one year, with a monthly salary of [-] yuan and a pension of [-] yuan.

But later, a change was made when I was in Nanjing according to the needs, and three subsidies were added:

Military rank allowance: Non-commissioned officers get five yuan a month, lieutenant officers get 20 yuan a month, school officers get 60 yuan a month, and general officers get 100 yuan a month.

Family subsidy: 30 yuan per month for lieutenants, 80 yuan per month for school officials, and [-] yuan per month for general officers.

Subsidy for senior officers: 20 yuan per month for regimental level officers, 30 yuan per month for brigade level officers, 50 yuan per month for divisional level officers, and [-] yuan per month for military level officers.

During wartime, double pay is paid, and the compensation for the disabled is 12 times the monthly salary standard of the official position at the level of the officer. At the same time, the Department of Civil Affairs of the guarding envoy is responsible for compiling the book and paying 1 yuan per month as living expenses.

Those killed in battle will be compensated according to 24 times the monthly salary standard of the officer at the level of the officer. If there are children, the children will enjoy nine years of free education, and ordinary residents will enjoy six years.

According to this standard and the subsequent expansion plan, the number of field troops will reach 4000, and the number of security forces will reach 2000.Among them, the monthly salary of the field troops will reach an astonishing 72 yuan, and the security forces will get 18% of the salary of the field troops, which will also reach 90 yuan.That is to say, excluding equipment and logistics expenses, Wang Zhenyu would spend an astonishing [-] yuan on military pay alone.This is still in peacetime, and the army is really a bottomless pit.

Wang Zhenyu pinched his fingers and calculated. This industrial construction needs a long period, and the construction period of infrastructure such as transportation and model cities is not short.It will be a few years before I really want to create benefits for myself. What I can do now is to use the commercial tax in Xiangxi to maintain it.

It seems that they still have to rely on the bank to print bills to ease their finances. The [-] million I raised now looks scary, but it is really not much to use.

Wang Zhenyu did not express any attitude on this military budget, but suddenly turned his head and said to Wan Yaohuang: "Director Wan, the military academy is divided into non-commissioned officers (mainly training officers below the company, such as platoon leader, deputy platoon leader, chief of staff, etc., from Secondary school graduates and active-duty soldiers are selected through examinations), Infantry Command Department (training officers above the infantry company, and officers below the active-duty company are selected according to combat achievements and recommendations), Artillery Command Department and Staff Department (training professional military staff officers), In addition, set up a strategic research school to train military intelligence agents and intelligence analysts. As for this military academy, I will be the principal and you will be the dean of education. Hurry up and start the first phase first. Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you have a good foundation , it will be easy to handle later.”

Wan Yaohuang got up and said: "Commander, please don't worry, I will do my best to live up to the entrustment of the commander."

Wang Zhenyu pointed to Wan Yaohuang and said, "You guys, it's fine to call me the commander-in-chief now, and I'll give you a humble job. You are all brothers who have followed me all the way. Don't be so cautious. In the future, you will all be in charge of the ruling party. , also need prestige, Yaohuang, especially you, where did the calmness on the ship go?"

Wan Yaohuang blushed, and immediately raised his chest and said, "Yes, Commander, Yaohuang must complete the task."

Wang Zhenyu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You guys!"

Then I looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was given by the German Hans, I don’t know what this foreigner thinks, he actually gave the clock to someone for nothing, fortunately, I don’t shy away from this: “Well, it’s six o’clock, I don’t care Let’s go home and eat, and the meeting is over.”

After speaking, Wang Zhenyu got up and went to look for Ye Ziwen. His wife was still complaining this morning.

Looking at his cousin who was going away, Ma Xicheng shook helplessly, grabbed Wang Zhenbang who was about to pack up his notebook and was about to leave, and said, "Fifth brother, you should inform the kitchen that we brothers will accompany you, and invite everyone to have a meal. . . ”

The construction of the Model Xin'an River began at the end of July, and the first to break ground was the Xiangxi Military Academy.In order to start the project as soon as possible, Wan Yaohuang, who was in charge of the military academy affairs at that time, even turned into a rogue to find Yang Wangui's soft words.For this reason, many years later, the engineering and military system regarded the head of education as an enemy, and it actually became a practice.

With the conclusion of a series of cooperation agreements with Belgian Belgian Bank, German Lihe Matheson, and Luxembourg Albeid, in mid-August, the construction of roads and commercial towns in Jingzhou was completely handed over to the local government and gentry. A labor force composed of 8 captives was transported to Anjiang by water.In order to ensure the progress and quality of the construction, the guarding envoy issued an order.These [-] captives were pardoned for their crimes, and after three years of service, they were repatriated and granted military status according to their performance. During this period, their monthly salary was three yuan.

Although the salary is very low, there is hope anyway, so the phenomenon of running away disappeared. Compared with being captured and executed by the fierce soldiers, working here for three years is really nothing.And even if he could escape, so what?Continue to be a bandit?

Bandits and beggars are the inevitable products of class rule. The more extravagant the ruler is, the larger the number of this class will be. . .
