Chapter 211 Comprehensive Army Expansion

In February of the fifth year, Zhu Dadian was appointed governor of Shandong, and Kong Youde was in the capital. History turned a small turn at this node, and several counties in Shandong were in ruins, and Denglai was well preserved. In the same month, the internal supervisor Wu went to Dengzhou and brought the decree.

The imperial edict is as follows. I heard that the five talents born are born, and they must be abandoned. This is called abandoning them. The integrity of serving the king lies in the fact that he is a man of his own, and he is loyal to his ministers, and he is determined to be in vain. He drives the country, is righteous, brave, loyal and strong, and saves the ancestors from going to trouble, and is loyal and kind. The commander-in-chief, Chen Xie, the general of the Dengzhou camp in Denglai Town, has a total of nine levels of learning, and is talented and virtuous. He is worried about the sincerity of the king, and he must do everything he wants. He can do everything he knows. He can be awarded the assistant general of the rear army of the Nanjing Governor's Office, the general of the Denglai Town, the general of the cavalry, and the guardian of the honor. He is given five imperial horses, a hundred horses in the Taipu Temple, and a hundred silver whip. He is given three generations of co-official officials, and a son and a hundred households of Jinyiwei. The officers and soldiers of the troops were promoted to one level, and the meritorious generals were responsible for the Ministry of War to report their merits and rewards.

As a result, Chen Xie's new positions are as follows: rank official: Assistant General of the Later Army of the Nanjing Governor's Office. Official: General of Denglai Town. Serial official: General of the Cavalry. Xun: Supervisor. (Note: So complicated. I would like to thank the readers "Wang Sun Wuyang". The imperial edicts and official positions in the article are all from this king's hands.)

Chen Xie, the new general of Denglai, was ordered by the governor Sun Yuanhua to send a battalion of infantry to station in Laizhou. The guerrilla general Zhang Biao led his troops to station in Changyi to rectify the local area and restore public order. Half a month later, a large number of "ownerless" lands were included in the military camp and handed over to Liaodong refugees to cultivate.

The impact caused by Kong Youde gradually subsided. After repeated weakening, the Dongjiang Town Army soldiers in Denglai were controlled by the guerrilla general Geng Zhongming. The problem of handling 100,000 Liaodong refugees in Denglai fell on Sun Yuanhua again.

Sun Yuanhua, who was already used to finding a rich man in difficulties, was sure that his butt could sit steadily, and immediately sent someone to invite Chen Xie.

In the backyard of Chen's family in Zhangjiazhuang, two pregnant women were erect and commanding their subordinates in their respective yards. They must not lose their territory carelessly. A land-for-share transaction began after the New Year. Yuzhu, who lost the supervision and management rights of each factory, began to get involved in the land management rights. Yu Xun fought back and finally demarcated their respective territory under the leadership of Mr. Chen.

The land management in Huangxian, Dengzhou, was under the responsibility of Yu Xun, and was part-time supervisor of the backyard. The land management in Changyi, Qishan, and the front yard supervisor were managed by Yuzhu. The hospital was managed by Hongguo. The reserved factories, mines, and Changsheng were under the responsibility of commercial matters. Liu Qing was in charge of the general. The military had basically not changed much. The only change was that the group of ghosts led by Xi Laojing were now employed by Chen Xie.

After a period of employment, the status of these monsters was greatly improved. Their training navy and artillery teams improved rapidly. As a result, the status rose. Xilaojing, Lu Weiluo, and Franyalanda, the three of them unexpectedly appeared at the spring military meeting of Dengzhouying, and Xilaojing also gave a work report.

"Dear General, dear colleagues. After a period of rectification, the Dengzhou Navy has basically completed the rectification. There are currently 133 ships, 200-stock (60 tons) and 8 ships. 150, 100-stock ships, 36 ships of this level. The rest are small boats, and the near-shore patrols are still acceptable, so you can go to sea without considering it."

After the report of the Western Laojing, Chen Xie took a look at Lu Weiluo. This red-haired and green-eyed ghost was said to have married a big-footed woman who fled from Liaodong as her daughter-in-law, which is quite a bit rooted in China.

"Dear General, colleagues. The work of Qishan Station is generally smooth. According to the instructions of the General, at this stage, it is mainly to train some skilled craftsmen and create some larger ships in a small amount. To achieve this work goal, Qishan Station has added three new docks and built four large ships of 500 materials. Due to some objective reasons, these ships will probably not be officially delivered to the Navy until June this year."

"Can you tell me some objective reasons?" Chen Xie, who had been listening to the report quietly, suddenly asked.

"Wood is mainly a problem with wood. You know, the wood used to make ships is special and requires a long-term treatment. The secondary reason is the proficiency of some young craftsmen. It is expected that after this batch of ships is launched, a team of mature craftsmen with about 500 people can be cultivated. Here, I suggest that, General, increase the manpower for the shipyard." Lu Weiluo is one of the senior technical talents with the strongest navigation ability and knowledgeable about shipbuilding in this batch of ​​bang.

"Tell me your reasons!" Chen Xie said calmly, "According to Western calculation units, a 500-foot ship is equivalent to between 150-160 tons. I think such a ship is not particularly important for a powerful navy construction. We can even build it more carefully, even if it is slower, it is not a problem. The key is to accumulate experience, so that a large number of new people who are not very skilled in technology can be used. Even if something goes wrong, it doesn't matter, as long as they can master shipbuilding technology. Otherwise, with the existing craftsmen, even if we get the drawings and get some European craftsmen in the future, it will take a very long time to build a large ship of more than 500 tons. One year or even longer. I think this conflicts with the plan of Your Excellency General."

Papa, Chen Xie applauded, and the officers present applauded, and Lu Wei was slightly excited and blushed and bowed frequently.

"Very good, Lu Weiluo, go back and write a detailed plan and hand it over to the Staff Office. Although I agree with your ability, work is work and you must have a detailed plan. If you don't know how to write the plan, you can ask the Staff Office to guide you."

"Thank you for your advice, General." Lu Weiliu sat down, Chen Xie glanced at Franaranda who was a little nervous and smiled: "Don't be nervous, Franaranda, I believe you can bring me good news."

Franaranda, who is only 1.7 meters tall, is a relatively short person in the venue, and her voice trembles after standing up.

"It's like that. After a period of contact, I found that the overall quality of the current artillery in the Dengzhou Army is not low. At least 300 people can master the skills that a qualified artillery should master." Hearing this, Chen Xie's face looked a little ugly. Artillery is actually one of his biggest weaknesses. The artillery of the Ming Dynasty is actually similar, and the question of whether to fight accurately has never been very important. According to Chen Xie's own data, there are indeed only about 300 people at present, and he has basically mastered the aiming technology of artillery.

"The current system of our army has solved this problem well. It does not require every artillery to master all skills. One or several more accurate gunners are commanded by commanding other artillery operations. This experience is worth promoting. Here, I would like to make a suggestion that the existing artillery team is too large. The organization of 12 artillery pieces. For field troops, the pressure on transportation and logistics is too great. The organization should be reduced appropriately. I think the six artillery pieces are more suitable for organization. I think the organization is more suitable for organization.

.A artillery team of this size, accompanied by an infantry battalion, should be more reasonable first. While reducing the accompanying field artillery, we can set up a special artillery battalion. Such artillery battalion commanders can use dense artillery more effectively, and can carry out intensive artillery strikes at a certain part of the battlefield at any time to destroy the enemy's fighting spirit. Finally, I emphasize that our army's artillery has a problem of small caliber, and we should appropriately consider larger caliber artillery on the front line."

At this time, Chen Xie turned his head to the recorder beside him and said, "Focus on recording, the demand for large-caliber artillery."

His eyes fell on General Wang Qinian. After standing up, General Wang Shen made a full-thrust speech: "The most urgent task at the moment is to expand the army. The entire Dengzhou camp has only six camps, and there is still a big gap from normal organization. Geng Zhongming's Dongjiang Army can just treat them as if they do not exist and give up some coarse grains every month."

"No, no, Wang Qinian, you think the problem is too superficial, sit down."

General Chen stood up, pressed his hands on the table, and looked at a group of subordinates and said, "From today on, the treatment of the Dongjiang Army will be compared with the treatment of our army, except for equipment. Each soldier will pay 12 taels of silver per year, one piece of cloth, and four pairs of shoes. All of these things will be collected from the Laizhou Military Control Office and distributed according to the head. Each person will give a small notebook to record the collection. No matter which officer the Dongjiang Army is, there is no right to take the treatment of the soldiers on behalf of the soldiers. I say this, do you know what to do?" After that, Chen Xie turned his head to look at Su Haochen, the staff officer in charge of logistics.

Su Haochen, the chief staff member who was born in Dengzhou, was the only one who was famous among the officers under Chen Xie, who was a scholar. At first, he only taught in the school and received a meager salary. Later, his family was in trouble and took the initiative to join the arms of the army. His current position is Praise, which sounds like a staff member, but actually influenced the designation of the Dengzhou military combat plan, as well as the supervision of the distribution and procurement of all military supplies. Chen Xie attached great importance to it, and Chen Xie always trained him as the chief of staff.

"I understand that I can send a logistics team to Laizhou in a targeted manner and be responsible for this part of the work."

Chen Xie nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll announce it below!"

Swipe and stand up neatly. Chen Xie looked at a group of young faces and knew in his heart that they were his greatest source of confidence. "The expansion of Dengzhou Camp is imperative. Within one month, the recruitment of six camps must be completed, and within half a year, the training must be qualified. Wang Qinian is fully responsible for this matter. If something goes wrong, I will cause trouble for you."

"I understand!" Wang Qinian raised his chest high and his voice was loud.

"Weng Zhengqing was transferred from his original position and promoted to the artillery battalion garrison, and Franaranda was promoted to the deputy garrison. The organizational reorganization of each artillery team and the new artillery battalion will be handed over to the two."

"Lu Weiluo, from today on, you will be the director of Qishan Shipyard. Xilaojing, from today on, you will be the guard of Dengzhou Navy."

Dududu, knocking on the door interrupted Chen Xie's speech. Chen Xie's tyrant Yan Xiaosheng came in. Chen Xie looked over unhappily. Yan Xiaosheng quickly stepped forward and whispered: "The Governor sent a messenger, please go to Dengzhou immediately."

Chen Xie nodded and continued, "Let's leave the meeting, let's get here today." After saying that, Chen Xie left first, and before getting on the carriage, he said to Yan Xiaosheng who opened the door: "Remember, when I hold a military meeting in the future, don't go in and interrupt unless it's a major matter."

Yan Xiaosheng stood straight and said loudly: "I understand." Chen Xie got on the car. Two horses pulled four-wheeled carriages and slowly set off on the road. A team of black-clad knights rushed onto the road in front of him, divided into two teams, one team in front and one team behind, protecting Chen Xie's carriage to roll towards Dengzhou. The sound of horse hooves in Tata Tower was solemn, shattering the calmness of the early spring field. (To be continued...)
