The animal world of the head of the village

Chapter 494
In November 1860, Huang Xiaohu ordered Jia Lin to continue to return to Shanghai to garrison, and the imperial army trained by Ji Wu was responsible for stationing Shanghai, including the port and fleet.

After all the Musketeers were mobilized back to the Daliang Town barracks, Huang Xiaohu began to strictly control the arsenal, and directly asked Luo Hongfan to follow up in person.

The barracks in Daliang Town can already accommodate 7 soldiers, this time Huang Xiaohu mobilized all the Musketeers of the Shenlong Society, and the number has reached [-].

Control the firearms and ammunition, and then actually control the military power of the Musketeers, so that Huang Xiaohu will not worry about the rebellion of the other generals.After all, the fighting power of these musketeers is astonishing. Under the power of powerful firearms, the rest of the army cannot stop them at all.

Fu Shanxiang went to Tianjin to be stationed, and Huang Xiaohu equipped her with [-] elite soldiers.

Next, Zhang Chaojue went to Beijing. Because of Beijing City University, Huang Xiaohu equipped him with [-] defenders, but these defenders were ordinary recruits.

Next, Tianjin and Beijing began to implement a new recruitment policy, so [-] recruits were quickly recruited, and then Huang Xiaohu began to change defenses against the Hangzhou defenders.

After a month of training, the recruits immediately switched defenses with the Hangzhou garrison. Huang Xiaohu explained to Gu Quan that well-trained elite soldiers were needed to fight in the three eastern provinces.

At this time, there is no real threat from Hangzhou, especially since the emperor of the Qing Dynasty is dead, so the Qing army has basically begun to collapse.

Most of the Qing army occupied the mountain as their king, and they only wanted to defend their own territory. They had no time to fight against the Shenlonghui, because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was still eyeing the Qing army's territory at this time.

After Huang Xiaohu gathered the Musketeers in the Daliang Barracks, he immediately conducted intensive training for them for two months, and also set up a supervisory position in the army. They can perform their duties normally and cannot do anything that violates military orders.

The selection of the supervising army was done with great pains by Huang Xiaohu, and all of them were selected from the personal soldiers who followed Huang Xiaohu and the current imperial army in the Tianwang Mansion. They received Huang Xiaohu's personal teaching, and then held a meeting with the generals above the regiment level to introduce them to each team. .

The supervising army does not need to report to the army chief, nor has the right to interfere with the decision of the army chief, but they have the right to report to Huang Xiaohu every move of the army, and the army chief has no right to dispose of the supervising army.

Although doing so was tantamount to putting eyeliner in each army, Huang Xiaohu also clearly and directly explained to the generals above the regiment level, asking them to continue to serve the Dragon Society without paying attention to anything else.

In addition to setting up the post of supervisor, Luo Hongfan also discussed with Huang Xiaohu about the establishment of the supervisor.

Luo Hongfan said to Huang Xiaohu: "My lord, there is an old saying: Generals are outside, and military orders are not obeyed. Now that the Dragon Society has a huge power and sufficient troops, the lord chairman has no way to supervise him personally, so he can set up a supervising army at any time." Understand the situation of the army, but the army supervisor cannot be controlled, which is why the post of army supervisor is important."

Huang Xiaohu said: "I also know the current situation. In fact, I already feel a little uncomfortable about setting up the supervising army. After all, those generals who were born and died now need to be monitored by the supervising army. It seems that I am suspicious of them. .”

However, Luo Hongfan said: "Master Chairman, there is no need to filter. The so-called guard against others is indispensable. Today is not the same as in the past. If Lord Chairman cannot strictly control the army, there may be rebellion or mutiny in the future. The past is a lesson, so do this." It’s all indisputable.”

Huang Xiaohu said: "On weekdays, there is no need to set up a warlord, but it is really necessary for actual marching and fighting. Lord Luo, do you have any advice on the candidates for the warlord?"

Luo Hongfan said: "It's not a good opinion, but Luo has some ideas about the candidates."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Then please listen to Mr. Luo."

Luo Hongfan said: "The supervisory army is all composed of the forbidden army and the chairman's personal soldiers, so the overseer should be the chairman's confidant general. For example, Jia Lin can be the overseer. If Wei Zhijun sends troops to Jiangxi, then Jia Lin Lin can then become the military governor and go with Wei Zhijun."

Huang Xiaohu said: "There are not many confidant generals, and Jia Lin already has an important duty to station in Shanghai, how can he be dispatched at will?"

Luo Hongfan said: "Mr. President, Luo is just making a metaphor. Is it true that the President has so few confidant generals?"

Huang Xiaohu thought for a while, and said: "Actually, some regiment leaders can be promoted to become military governors. There are still many generals who fought with me before, but their positions are not high. It seems that now is the time to promote these people."

Luo Hongfan said: "That's right, Luo also meant the same thing. The generals who follow the chairman to fight everywhere can actually be promoted in an extraordinary way now, because now is a great time to win people's hearts, and the chairman must not miss it."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Promote them to be military governors?"

Luo Hongfan said: "In fact, the chairman can set up a team similar to the Royal Forest Army. The forbidden army is to protect the palace of the king of heaven and protect the relatives and family members of the chairman. Then this team is specially used by the chairman to supervise and control other troops."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Well, this method seems to be good. Tianjing City really needs such a team. Otherwise, the imperial army alone will not be enough to deal with emergencies."

Then Huang Xiaohu began to plan to set up a team called the Shenlong Battalion, all of which would be composed of veterans who had followed Huang Xiaohu in more than five battles.

The establishment of the Shenlong Battalion was to safeguard Huang Xiaohu's rights and ensure his safety, absolutely not allowing Huang Xiaohu's majesty to be compromised.

The Shenlong Battalion consists of about 2 people and is directly stationed in Tianjing.

Huang Xiaohu directly transferred the defenders in Tianjing City out of the city, so the Shenlong Battalion was equivalent to the Imperial Forest Army in Tianjing City, all of which were deployed and commanded by Huang Xiaohu himself.

In addition, Huang Xiaohu also ordered that the troops returning to Tianjing in the future were not allowed to enter the city and could only be stationed outside Tianjing city.In this way, accidents in Tianjing City can be prevented.

At the same time, Huang Xiaohu also strictly controlled the allocation of military generals for each officer, and required officials with positions similar to Luo Hongfan, military generals would not allow more than 200 people.

Luo Hongfan is already a high-ranking official appointed by Huang Xiaohu, so restricting Luo Hongfan's personal soldiers is equivalent to setting an example for all officials and generals, and it will soon let everyone understand how to deal with it.

Huang Xiaohu also controlled firearms, requiring that, except for the Musketeers and the Shanghai Defenders, all other teams were not allowed to be equipped with firearms and cannons, and even the generals were not allowed.

While controlling firearms, Huang Xiaohu also divided the ranks of all officers and generals.Different regulations for different levels have been set up, detailing the responsibilities of generals at each level and the materials that can be equipped, and even the number of houses and guards is strictly limited.

The reason why Huang Xiaohu began to implement this kind of stricter management now was because Huang Xiaohu was already preparing to attack the three eastern provinces, and now was the time to use troops, so Huang Xiaohu was not worried about those generals daring to do anything out of line.

Of course, there are generals who commit crimes against the wind. After all, there will always be some people in this world who don't know what to do, so Huang Xiaohu naturally wants to make an example. He will never condone such arrogance, let alone allow these generals who dare to disobey his orders to exist.

Two months later, Huang Xiaohu ordered an attack on the three eastern provinces.

Ji Wu personally led the [-] Musketeers and the [-] Artillery Battalion. They set off directly from the Daliang Town Barracks. After arriving in Beijing, they headed for Shanhaiguan.

Huang Xiaohu's request for Ji Wu was to eliminate the vital forces of the Qing army, not to destroy the city, not to harass the common people, and after the city was captured, there was no need to garrison it, all he needed to do was notify Huang Xiaohu.

Huang Xiaohu's plan was to wait until Ji Wu captured a city, and immediately send relevant defenders and officials to take over that city.

In addition, Shanghai has notified Huang Xiaohu that the armored battleships ordered and a large number of firearms and cannons will be completed in half a year, and they will definitely be delivered to Shanghai Yangshan Port within a year.

Anyway, Huang Xiaohu also had time, so he waited for the good news from Ji Wu, and then waited for the iron-clad battleship and advanced firearms and cannons to arrive at Yangshan Port.

Three months later, Ji Wu had conquered Liaodong and replenished his troops once.

Half a year later, Ji Wu captured the three northeastern provinces and was preparing to return to Tianjing City.

All the officials arranged by Luo Hongfan went to the three eastern provinces to take over the cities captured by Ji Wu, and Huang Xiaohu was also personally responsible for deploying soldiers to garrison those cities.

After Ji Wu returned to Tianjing, Huang Xiaohu already knew that the Shenlong Society basically occupied half of China, and it could be said that its power was in full swing, and no one could stop it anymore.

At this time, the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fought fiercely with Zeng Guofan's Hunan army and other Qing troops in Jiangxi and Anhui. Both sides even wanted to win over the Dragon Club, but Huang Xiaohu directly rejected them all.

Suddenly one day, Shi Dakai sent an envoy to Tianjing, asking to discuss with Huang Xiaohu.

Huang Xiaohu didn't want to pay attention to them at first, but he learned that Shi Dakai's younger sister also came to Tianjing in person, so he had to hold a banquet for them in person.

During the dinner, one of Shi Dakai's confidants, General Zhao, said: "The chairman has already captured half of the Qing Dynasty, so he must be going to the Central Plains next?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "I haven't thought about this yet, but it will be a matter of time before we enter the Central Plains. I wonder how you will deal with our Dragon Society army in the future?"

General Zhao said: "In the past, under King Yi's command, I had the chance to meet the chairman a few times. Of course, Zhao knew that the chairman was extremely brave, like a general descending from heaven. But isn't the chairman going to give the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom a way out?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Actually, I have always admired King Yi, but he has done a lot of things that are sorry to me, so I don't want to make fun of myself, and King Yi himself will definitely not condescend to the Dragon Society. Let’s wait until later to talk about the future.”

Shi Ximei interjected: "Master, the little girl came to Tianjing with the envoy on a special trip, and the purpose was just to meet the President. Ximei knew that the elder brother had indeed done some things to be sorry for the President, but she would Can't adults forgive my elder brother for the sake of my younger sister?"

Seeing Shi Ximei's teary eyes, Huang Xiaohu couldn't bear it, so he could only persuade her: "Actually, it's not impossible at all, as long as King Yi Shi Dakai can come to Tianjing to plead guilty in person, and show his loyalty to me, maybe I can consider saving his life."

General Zhao said angrily: "How can King Yi be insulted like this? Chairman, don't bully people too much! The so-called soldiers can be killed but not humiliated. Since the chairman has made up his mind, the only thing he wants to see is the battlefield in the future!"
