Chapter 78
After three months of training in the Zhili New Army, all the new recruits were transferred to the private army and became official soldiers.
After becoming a formal soldier, the salary will be increased to 4 taels of silver per month according to the promise given to them by Wang Chenhao in advance. In addition, according to Wang Chenhao's "New Army Grooming Management Regulations", soldiers began to wear military uniforms, military caps, military shoes, and carry military ordnance training, that is, training according to the regular army.
The Zhili New Army is newer than the old army in any aspect. Wang Chenhao's request is that no shadow of the old army can be found in the new army. The most important new word is reflected in the appearance of the new army.
Wang Chenhao formulated relevant regulations on the appearance of the new army in Zhili according to the German army uniforms and regulations. The new army uniform styles of the new army's dresses, regular clothes, eaves and eaves, hat badges, collar seals, etc. were introduced. Based on the German army uniform, the colors and styles of the People's Liberation Army's 07 style uniforms were integrated into the colors and styles of the later People's Liberation Army's style uniforms, completely replacing the extremely ugly number clothing system of the old army.
The new army's military cap is a big block, and the hat badge is a fierce dragon head, giving people a strong deterrence and symbolizing power and order. The dragon has a dragon ball in its mouth, and the officer level can be roughly distinguished from the color of the dragon ball. The dragon ball is yellow, which represents the general level, red, green, lieutenant level, and white, which represents soldiers.
The new army collar seal is a whole dragon, and an embroidered dragon ball is at the collar. The grades are also divided into four levels according to the color of the dragon ball. Then, according to the color of the dragon body, the yellow represents the superior, the red represents the intermediate, the green represents the subordinate, and the white represents the levelless. For example, the collar seal is a red dragon and the yellow dragon ball, which means that the person wearing the collar seal is an admiral.
Escapula is divided into soft and hard. Hard eaves are used as regular clothes, and soft eaves are used as combat training uniforms. Escapula is divided into finer differences because eaves must reflect the size of the military rank.
The new military rank regulations formulated by Wang Chenhao are divided into 8th grade and 26 levels.
Marshal, military rank during the war, the highest military rank in the army, five-star golden dragon head eavesdrop (five golden stars plus one golden dragon head logo)
Admiral, Lieutenant General, Major General, Brigadier General (Golden Dragon Head, Yellow Bottom Escapula, Level Number: Stars 4, 3, 2, 1)
Colonel, colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, (silver dragon head, yellow bottom epaulette, the number of grades is stars 4, 3, 2, 1)
Captain, Lieutenant, Second Lieutenant, (Bronze dragon head, blue bottom epaulette, the number of levels is stars 3, 2, 1)
Warrant officer (level one to six, technical and logistics ranks) (Bronze dragon head red bottom epaulette, the number of grades is stars 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
Non-commissioned officer (level one to six) (iron head green bottom epaulette, the number of grades is 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
Private (Iron Dragon Head Green Bottom Escapula, No Star) (One Year of Service)
Private (green bottom epaulette) (three months of training)
The armband pattern is two dragons playing with beads, and the official rank is roughly distinguished according to the color of the beads and the color of the dragon body.
After the military uniforms of the new army were released, the entire new army was completely renewed. For these simple soldiers from peasant backgrounds, this military uniform is much more expensive than their new clothes during the Chinese New Year. It feels very fashionable when worn. It seems that when you walk on the street, you will no longer have to be rolled by foreigners. Even Chinese people will look up to them.
After releasing a new military uniform, the appearance and momentum of the new army suddenly increased several times, but the braid behind the head was very ugly. Wang Chenhao was not without ideas, but he also knew that it was not the time.
The ordnance ordered from Germany had arrived in Tianjin, and Wang Chenhao ordered the company commanders of various recruits and their troops to collect their respective weapons and equipment.
After changing into a new military uniform and receiving brand new weapons and equipment, the entire new army suddenly became murderous.
On June 5, when Li Hongzhang came to inspect Wang Chenhao's work for the fourth time, Wang Chenhao arranged a military parade for him, arranged infantry phalanx, artillery phalanx and cavalry phalanx for a marching display. At that time, Li Hongzhang also brought many Beiyang system officials around him, and many newspaper reporters were also present, and they were all amazed.
More than a dozen domestic newspapers published articles from commentators and praised the Zhili New Army.
As the Beiyang Times wrote: "The new army in Zhili was to practice foreign exercises. Baron Wang Chenhao selected generals and officers, and the rewards and punishments were strictly set, so that the army was ordered in an orderly manner and serious manner. One step was to be at the same time, and one step was to be at the same time, and one step was to be at the same time. The journey was like a rushing wave, standing like a planting tree, and the opportunity to advance and retreat was appropriate, and he was always instructed. He was really a Tiger."
Afterwards, Li Hongzhang praised Wang Chenhao very much. From the beginning, he finally got a clear idea in his heart. He did not misunderstand the secret question. Wang Chenhao is indeed an excellent talent, and he will definitely have a bright future if he is in the future.
Wang Chenhao was happy to receive Li Hongzhang's praise, but he knew that it was not the time to be happy. This military parade was just a show on the surface, and it really depends on the results of the second phase of the training subject.
The second phase of training is the real killer weapon of the new army. The company-level drills will be combined into regiment-battalion-level drills, as well as coordinated combat drills between various arms, etc. As long as the tactics such as synthetic drills and coordinated combat can be successfully completed in the next three months, then this new army will have combat effectiveness.
The goal of the third phase is the brigade synthesis drill, which has been upgraded to the scale of the battle. What is examined is not only the combat effectiveness of the army, but mainly the ability of the commanders. Wang Chenhao was not worried about this at all. He knew that Jiang Guitu, Gong Yuanyou and Duan Qirui were all elites of the Huai Army and the Beiyang Army, and the commanders of the Ziqiang Army were far from that.
The training of the new army is in full swing, and everything goes smoothly. Wang Chenhao continues to train for two hours every day, which is deeply admired by the officers and soldiers. In addition, a series of reward and punishment regulations formulated by Wang Chenhao are strictly implemented, making him more and more leadership charm in the hearts of the new army soldiers, and gradually becomes the soul of this new army.
On this day, Wang Chenhao accompanied the soldiers to the beach for two hours and took a shower in the sea. Suddenly he remembered that he had promised Li Youyi to take her to play in the underwater world.
Recently, the work of the new army has been progressing smoothly and everything has been on the right track. Wang Chenhao has already had a group of people serving him, which has made him, a decision maker much easier.
So, Wang Chenhao decided to go back to his house immediately and take Li Youyi to drive the Jiaolong to sea for a good time.
