Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

143. Rewards and reorganization

"The Department of Ceremonies and the Department of Military Affairs have worked hard these days. After this period of time is over, Gu Te allows the two departments to rest for ten days." The so-called soft and hard, Zheng Kezang used to kill He You to show his toughness, but blindly toughness is also true. It is not advisable, so he rewarded him with Juelu. "I'm afraid the officers and soldiers below can't wait any longer, so let's start."

Xu Mingting, who was recently transferred to be the chief of the Department of Rituals, made a concealed gesture to Lin Heng, whose face was also blue and dark. Lin Heng stood up with a wry smile, raised the long scroll in his hand, and said: "This is for Dong Ning's various ministries participating in the war made bronze medals for the Guihai Battle, and awarded silver and bronze medals to the officers and men of the ministries for disability, defeat of the enemy, decisive death, iron wall, etc. Supervise Buda."

Everyone has a share in the Pratt & Whitney Award, so the big guys don't pay much attention to it, but then the main event begins: "Confer Hong Gongzhu as the Jian Ruper, Zhang Xueyao as the Zhen Ruper, He Gan as the Ding Ruper, Mao Hongyan as the Dang Rubo, each of them will seal up 120 households"

"Change Wang Jingong to Ping Xibo, Jiashi seals 12 households, and Jiading Xibo Wu Shushi seals [-] households." All of the above are spies, and only a small number of people can get them, while more people hope that their names can be recognized. Appears later. "Sun Youlao, Huang Liangbi, Xu Qing, Guo Kai, Yan Gang and more than [-] commanders."

"Wu Qian, Chen Dunwen, Lin Heng, Zheng Yingping and 17 other commanders and colleagues." Lin Heng read with dry mouth, but he was in pain and joy. You must know that among the civil servants, he and the former police chief Zheng Yingping's title is the highest. Of course, this is not because he is the one who drafted the reward list, but because the two of them have some military merits. "Le Minyue, Tang Baoyi, Huang Dongping, Cai Qian, Yu Ping, Hong Lei, Ke Ping, Zheng Bin, and 37 people are the commanders and envoys." Similarly, the names of Cai Qian and Yu Ping can be mentioned before several people participated in politics and councils. Because they are more or less related to the war. "The 170 people above Kuching, Chen Le, and Li Jing are [-] households."

There are even more people who have been rewarded below the deputy thousand households. Among them, 27 people including Lin Kang, Maying, and An Long among the boy scouts received this honor. The sum of Zhenfu was one-tenth of the total number of Zheng Jun who participated in the war, so Lin Heng couldn't read anything.

"The rest of the rewards will be distributed by the towns themselves. Anyone who has any objections can report to the Military Law Department."

Taking advantage of the beheading of He You and the morale of the army gathered by large-scale rewards, Zheng Kezang announced that he would reorganize the existing Zheng army. According to his plan, the reorganization plan would be divided into two parts: the land division and the navy division.

The navy part is relatively simple because the main force is exhausted.Zheng Kezang mixed more than 7000 surviving Zheng Jun sailors and more than [-] surrendered Qing Army sailors and Boy Scout sailors.After the reorganization, the Xinzheng Army Navy has about [-] people and is divided into five teams: Lukang, Penghu, Danshui, Dagou, and Taijiang.

The Lukang team consists of 2000 people, with 500 thousand boats and 500 eight-oared express boats. They are responsible for cruising between Lukang and Tamsui. There are 500 thousand material blessing boats and [-] eight-oar fast sentinel boats, which are in charge of cruising between Penghu and Lukang, and the commander is promoted from Ma Ying; There are eight plywood ships such as No. [-], which are responsible for cruising between Dongning and Bintong Long, and the commander will be taken over by Gong Tian; The ship is still mainly engaged in ocean-going whaling, and the commander is Yan Daoji, the former battalion officer of the Whale Hunting Battalion. The insufficient personnel are transferred from the Lukang, Penghu, and Dagou teams in turn, and some personnel are sent by the Taijiang team to join. The main responsibility of the Taijiang team is still to maintain the fighting spirit of the navy officers and soldiers and sharpen their blood and courage without a major war; Two double-sail boats are formed. As a de facto naval academy, the Taijiang team will be responsible for the basic training of the sailors and military officers of each team in ship handling and needlework, and the command of a single warship and small fleet. For advanced training, the team leader is Tang Shenzhi, the battalion officer of Whale Hunting Battalion B.

Zheng Kezang expects to transfer the responsibilities of the Taijiang team to the Tamsui team in the next two years. While handing over the responsibilities and some ships, the Taijiang team will gradually receive the newly built plywood ships, making them the same long-distance voyage as the Dagou team. fleet.After the Taijiang team completes the change, Zheng Kezang will continue to change the outfits for the Lukang and Penghu teams. In the end, the Zheng Jun Navy will realize the main plywood ship, and only keep the Danshui team as a combination of self-training and practice. fleet.

Since Ming Zheng was unable to put too much power into the mainland before the fresh water team completed the change of equipment, in order to prevent the possible counterattack of the Qing army, the reorganization of the Lu division was also urgent.For this reason, Zheng Kezang first announced that the boy camp would be the young martial arts school, and organized the martial arts school in the model of the boy camp.In the future, Young Martial Arts will provide junior military officers, while Martial Arts will be responsible for the lessons of ordinary soldiers being promoted to military officers and the advanced and intensive teaching tasks for military officers.

The establishment of martial arts allowed Zheng Kezang to transfer a large number of former middle-level generals of the Zheng Army to study or serve as instructors. In addition, Huang Liangbi, Xu Qing and other town generals were transferred to Wentu before. He was originally disobedient to Zheng Kezang The former major commanders of the Zheng Army no longer exist, so Zheng Kezang was able to carry out the next stage of military reform.

On the first day of November in the 37th year of the Yongli calendar, Zheng Kezang formally ordered that all the names of Zheng Jun's original towns be cancelled, and the official positions of town general, general soldier, deputy general, supervisor, supervisor, and assistant general were also vacant.Subsequently, Zheng Kezang improved the system of the boy scouts, and reorganized the six divisions of the left and right Wuwei, the left and right tiger guards, and the left and right brave guards.

The so-called "teacher" is not that Zheng Kezang is fabricating a system based on Fang Ming's memory. You must know that in the "Notes on the Master's Gua of the Book of Changes", "mostly use the name of the army, secondly use the name of the teacher, and seldom use the name of the brigade." One said, there is also an annotation in "Shu" that "in the Spring and Autumn Period, even though there are tens of thousands of people, they are all called teachers". , Five soldiers are brigades, and five brigades are teachers".

Of course, Zheng Kezang's establishment is slightly larger. He governs three regiments with one division, and each regiment governs six sentries.When it comes to "regiment", it is actually the original standard. As early as the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the army at that time used "regiment" as the first-level organization. However, there was no clear standard at that time about how many soldiers and horses a regiment should have. In ancient times, a team of 100 men was used as a team, 300 infantry teams as a regiment, and [-] cavalry teams as a regiment. However, the strength of each regiment in the government army system of the Tang Dynasty was clearly defined as [-] men, and Zheng Kezang’s regiment was relatively close to the Sui system. .As for the "shao", it is the original "battalion". Tang Zhiying usually governs two to three regiments. ".

The new system of internal and external sentries is basically inconvenient. Each sentry has a team of swords and shields, firecrackers and spears with 50 people. In addition, there are directly subordinate soldiers and soldiers. The sentry officer with the rank of lieutenant, the deputy sentry officer with the rank of Lieutenant Zhongxian from the sixth rank, the sentry with the rank of lieutenant from the seventh rank Zhongwu to join the army, and one member from the sentry supervisor with the rank of lieutenant from the Qipin Hujun school. One drummer each, three firemen, so there are 180 people in total.

There are six posts in a regiment, four of which are combat soldiers, and the other two are artillery posts and supply posts.Each artillery post is equipped with three 120-inch guns and six [-]-inch guns. The firepower is several times stronger than that of the original "standard" first-level guns, which only had three [-]-inch guns.In addition to these six sentries, each regiment also has a squad of commanders, the regiment commander with the rank of fourth-rank flying cavalry, the regiment deputy commander with the rank of fourth-rank cloud cavalry, and the regiment commander with the rank of fifth-rank military cavalry. One member, several members of the regiment from the rank of Liupin Chengxin to the rank of Qipin Hujun, one member of the regiment supervisor from the rank of Wupin Zhaoxin and the rank of Liupin Zhongxian, plus There are a total of [-] officers and soldiers in the regiment, such as the guard squad of the regiment flag, and the doctor doctor in the regiment.

In addition to the above three regiments, each division also has a cavalry post directly under it, a three-and-a-half-inch (12-pound) artillery post, a military post, a jumping post equipped with plate armor or wart armor, and a middle base (engineer) In addition, the commander of the division capital with the rank of deputy general of the second rank, the commander of the deputy capital of the division with the rank of captain of the second rank of light car, the commander of the division general with the rank of captain of the third rank of cavalry, and one member of the division chief army with the rank of captain of the third rank of cavalry There are several members of the division who join the army from the rank of fourth-rank flying cavalry to the sixth-rank Chengxin school lieutenant, and several members from the fourth-rank Yunqi lieutenant to the fifth-rank Zhaoxin school lieutenant rank of supervisor and judge officer. Including the first team of the army, the horse exploration team, and the division flag team, the division has a total of 200 people.However, due to the lack of manpower in Ming and Zheng, black soldiers, center bases, and some gunners in each division, regiment, and sentry were all served by black slaves. Therefore, there were 800 Han soldiers in each division and 400 slave troops. .

Before the war, Zheng Jun Lu Division had a total of 5000 people in each guard town, 200 people in the two boy scout towns, and more than 8000 local Xun soldiers.After the Dongning War, the total number of the three fell to [-].Some of the wounded can return to the army, but most of them can only go home to farm, so Zheng Kezang will reorganize the ordinary Qing army who followed Lin Xian and surrendered in Xigang, but this is the case, Zheng Kezang It is still only possible to compile six divisions and [-] garrisoned Xun soldiers first.

In addition to the above-mentioned troops, Zheng Kezang also mobilized 1000 troops to form the Anping Left-behind Division, unified the management of the officers and the two heavy artillery fortresses on North Shanwei Island and their defenses, and expanded the original 80-member guard team of Anping City. When there are 200 people, as for the garrison task of Anping City, after the cancellation of Luanyiwei Town, each division will take turns to garrison it.

As a symbol of Zheng Kezang's full control over the Zheng army, the Department of Joining the Army was renamed the Military Academy, and its status was upgraded to be in parallel with the Political Affairs Hall. Bo Hong Gongzhu was ordered to join the military as the general chapter of Tongqian, and the above three people will assist Zheng Kezang in commanding the military order.

As the sign of the boy scout system mastering the Zheng army, Sun Youlao, He Gan, and Mao Hongyan respectively assumed the command of the three divisions of Zuohuwei, Zuowuwei, and Youyongwei. Kuching, Le Minyue, Chen Le, Tang Baoyi, etc. The associations of the boy scout associations were respectively promoted to the deputy commanders of the three divisions of Youhuwei, Youwuwei, and Zuoyongwei, and the left-behind division of Anping Left-behind Division. Lin Kang, Hong Hui, Anlong, Ye Zhao and other Jiayin period boys The army may be promoted to join the army of each division, join the army commander of each regiment, or become a division supervisor, or some outstanding ones will be promoted to the deputy commander of each regiment and the real power sentry officer. Even some Yimao students have grown into the sentry officers and deputy sentry officers of each sentry.
