Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Huang Qifa is really keeping the clouds open to see the moonlight!He was shocked all over, and immediately showed a look of ecstasy, then tried his best to suppress his emotions, and said to Wu Shigong: "Please give orders, my lord!"

Wu Shigong smiled even wider.It's good to be ambitious, but I'm afraid of people who don't have ambitions!He went on to say: "This time we will establish a new naval division of our Runing Army. Among them, we will establish a marine regiment."

"Last year, I sent Zhang Rubao, the vice-captain of the guard team, with 100 people, and asked them to go to Fujian Haiphong Guerrilla Zheng Guerrilla for training. The purpose was to learn more about the Navy. When he came back, Deputy Captain Zhang would As the commander of the navy and the head of the marine regiment of the navy."

"And I will appoint you as the deputy commander of the Marine Corps. So from now on, you have to put up the airs of the Marine Corps!"

After hearing Wu Shigong's words, Huang Qifa asked in confusion: "My lord, can you tell me what is the Marine Corps?"

Wu Shigong smiled and nodded, and said: "Very good! If you have any questions, you should ask first! The Navy Marine Corps is the navy's army that fights on land. It has three functions: guarding the navy's port and ships, and fighting in the water. The main force of the Zhongtiao Gang's operations will be landed by ship."

"You can tell from this that the Marine Corps not only needs to fully master all combat skills of infantry artillery, but also has to train unique tactical combat skills on the water. Therefore, the requirements for this regiment are very high."

"Also, because you can't wear iron armor when fighting on the water, and it's difficult to transport horses and artillery, so when fighting independently, there are very high requirements for the bravery of the soldiers of the Marine Corps."

"So I would like to remind you first: the Marine Corps has 12 instead of 16 members. It is prepared to use the number of people when the equipment is inferior. We can't wait until Vice-Captain Zhang returns. So you have to choose the right personnel first. Start some basic training first. Those who have reached the age of [-] in the boy camp will be selected for you first, and you can also choose other personnel from our Runing Army.”

"Just to tell you, I value this regiment very much. After Deputy Commander Zhang came back, he was also mainly responsible for the general affairs of the Navy, so the main training of the Marine Corps of the Navy still rests on you."

"You have to focus on the army as before, and I can see everything. Our Runing Army will not bury talents. Let me tell you, there will not be only one marine regiment in the navy in the future. "

Wu Shigong's words made Huang Qifa's blood boil, he seemed to see a golden road.As long as he brings up this marine regiment, Huang Qifa is likely to become a regular in the future.Even after establishing several marine regiments.Huang Qifa's official title will rise even higher.

Huang Qifa immediately knelt down and kowtowed again: "Thank you for your respect! The villain is desperately trying to lead this regiment well. I'm just afraid that the villain's ability is limited and he will miss the adults' business!"

"It's okay! If you use you, you trust you!" Wu Shigong immediately reassured Huang Qifa, "This marine regiment is also a new business, and none of us knew how to do it before. As long as you put your heart and soul into it, there will always be some results You don’t have to be burdened. If you have any problems, come here to ask more, and let everyone in the Runing Army help you solve them together!”

"When our Runing Army was first established, there were not many people who knew how to fight. Isn't there a gathering of famous generals up to now? So as long as you learn more, there are no problems that cannot be solved."

Afterwards, Wu Shigong received Tang Liu again.Can't wait for Zhang Rubao to come back a few months later, so Wu Shigong allocated [-] taels of silver from the inner study, and asked Yang Goudan to arrange a group of craftsmen from the workshop company to go to Xinyang to investigate and select spots first, and establish the first branch of the Runing Army. A mini naval base.

In addition, a ship repair workshop will be built in this naval base.Repair and refit those ships towed back from Huainan.Although these are small boats, they are sufficient for armed transportation on the Huaihe River.

This time Huang Qifa and Tang Liu's superiority did not cause shock to other officers of the Runing Army.Because those people at that time still had a deep-rooted mainland thinking, and they didn't see the important role of the navy at all.

Moreover, Wu Shigong's reuse of Huang Qifa and Tang Liu also set an example for those who surrendered and took refuge in Wu Shigong.After all, the growth of the Runing Army cannot depend entirely on itself.It also needs fresh blood from outside.

The last is the adaptation of the militia.This time, Wu Shigong wants to downgrade the original militia with only 500 people to a battalion.The two battalions will form an independent militia.Not only the militia, but the Runing Army will also introduce the battalion level into its main force.Make the combat of the troops more flexible, and make the officer system more complete.Of course, with battalion-level officers, the number of officers will increase a lot, which is definitely a boon for the officers of the Runing Army.

After recruiting some recruits, the Runing Army will form a total of seven independent militias.Guide, Nanyang, Runan, and Rubei will each have one, and there will be three militia groups stationed here in Runing Fucheng and Runing Army Camp.This will also prevent the main force of the Runing Army from going out this time, and the defense of their hometown is empty, and even the teenagers from the boy battalion are required to go to the battlefield to fill up their numbers.

Of course, improving the command of the militia is also an important purpose of this adaptation.This time in Ningling County, when Yao Liang's militia left the county, the head of the militia in Qianhusuo Fortress was on the same level as Yao Liang, so they could only do nothing about Yao Liang's departure.With a unified command, this situation will never happen again.

However, this large-scale army expansion also incorporated the [-] new troops that Xue Yongli had trained urgently into the Runing Army.If the Runing Army wants to expand its army again in a short period of time, in terms of internal manpower, it may not be able to do what it wants.

The only thing that gave Wu Shigong a headache was Yao Liang's handling.In fact, from a legal point of view, Yao Liang did not do anything wrong. The only mistake was that there was a loophole in the command system of the Runing Army, and Yao Liang blindly followed the command of Yu Zilian, the county magistrate, which eventually led to a catastrophe.

Besides, Yao Liang obeyed the magistrate's order to go to Fucheng to help defend. If he dealt with it too severely, he would offend the official circles of Guide Mansion.Coupled with the fact that Yao Yuanwai, who was the earliest cooperator with Wu Shigong, came to plead for mercy afterwards, Wu Shigong couldn't do this cruelly no matter what.

But if it is not dealt with, there will be dissatisfaction in the Runing army, and the phenomenon of disobedience to command has also set a bad precedent.There is even a need to explain the dilapidation of Ningling County and the more than 500 people who died while guarding the county.

So Wu Shigong made a compromise and asked Yao Liang to retire from active duty to work in the Department of Internal Affairs. The other officers of the militia were also demerited and transferred to other troops.Therefore, Wu Shigong at least did not drive Yao Liang out of the Runing Army system.

However, in peacetime, officials with taints like Yao Liang have no future.Fortunately, it is war and there are many opportunities, so Wu Shigong still left Yao Liang a line, just to see if he can catch it.

This expansion of the army also brought a lot of promotion opportunities to the officers and soldiers of the Runing Army.The soldiers of Wu Shigong's personal army went down to become officers one after another, while the best in the teaching regiment and the army were transferred to the personal army.A large number of soldiers in the army were also transferred to the teaching corps.

In the corner of the school field of the Runing Army camp, Cheng Niu tried his best to write a line of characters on the ground with a bamboo pole, then pointed to the line of characters that looked like chicken claws, and showed off to the surrounding soldiers: "Look! Look! It just so happens that I can write these words, this time my life is lucky! Hahaha——!"

Due to the large number of people transferred to teach the army this time, Cheng Niu was also fortunate to be included in this list, but before the transfer, Cheng Niu had to pass his most troublesome cultural assessment.

Unexpectedly, in the cultural assessment just now, Cheng Niu happened to be able to write all the test questions that Cheng Niu encountered, so now Cheng Niu can't wait to show off to his comrades.

"I didn't expect Da Niupi to really know how to write?" Hu Weitou poked his head over, "It's just that the handwriting is like a human being, it's too ugly!"

"Go! Go!" Cheng Niu angrily drove Hu Zhuotou, "Don't damage the writing on the ground. Loud voice! You are jealous! You won't be able to learn half of my old Cheng in another 100 years. Patience! Hahaha——!"

Hu Shuitou was not angry either, he looked at the line of writing on the ground for a while, then pointed to a word with some uncertainty and asked: "Da Niupi, your word is a bit wrong! How do I remember that there is a vertical line here?"

The character Hu Shuitou pointed to was exactly "Liu". Hearing that Hu Shuitou caught a typo, the soldiers all around came over to watch the excitement.

Cheng Niu also looked at it nervously, and then immediately let go of his mind: "What do you know with your big voice? This character reads 'Liu'. The teacher who taught said that it is Wen Dao Liu. There is a knife next to it. My old Cheng has always been clean with a knife, so why do you have to do it again? It’s as muddy as your big voice? No wonder you’ve been playing with a spatula all your life. Humph!"

Hearing what Cheng Niu said seemed to make sense, the soldiers around were also puzzled, and they were not sure whether what Cheng Niu wrote was correct.Seeing his comrades in arms like this, Cheng Niu became more and more proud.He saw Zhao Gan in the crowd at a glance, pointed at Zhao Gan, and asked: "Ganzi! I just taught you a few words a few days ago, come and see if Brother Cheng writes these words well." ?”

Then Zhao Gan carefully looked at the writing on the ground, then held back his laughter and refused to make a sound.Seeing Zhao Gan's expression, Cheng Niu immediately turned up his face, widened his eyes and asked, "Could it be that I wrote something wrong?" (To be continued...)
