Chapter 689: Promoted to Rank

According to the new troop allocation, Wei Gonggong's control over the mobile detachment is unprecedentedly large.

Not to mention that the mobile detachment is mainly based on the former Guangdong naval division, that is, Wei Gonggong's own two battalions of soldiers are incorporated into it, so that his old man can have the power to say everything about the mobile detachment and point to where to fight.

The trick of adding an official to a knight, and Gonggong Wei also played it heartily, and the letter of appointment was issued without money. Within half a day, as many as 47 letters of appointment to the Navy were sent out by his old man's hard work.

From the general army to the general general, everything is included.

Each letter of appointment was handed over to the appointee by Father-in-law Wei himself, and it was always accompanied by the cordial voice of Father-in-law Wei's high hopes: "Work hard, our family will not treat you badly, we can give you a promotion and a fortune, and our family can also give you a wife." ”

The honest and simple words made the officers moved, and they had a heroic psychology of "the soldier dies for his confidant".

It's just that the letter of appointment is there, but the official seal and official uniform are not.

In this regard, Wei Gonggong's explanation is that the navy was founded, the emperor attached great importance to it, and the princes of the inner court also attached importance to it.

Everyone does not doubt him, and they are grateful to Dai De one by one, and they are willing to die for Father-in-law Wei and the Son of Heaven.

In the process of reorganization, the officers and men of Guangdong nationality headed by Wang Dali undoubtedly benefited the most, followed by the Yangzhou and Songjiang soldiers, and of course, his old man's own lineage, the Wei family, also benefited greatly in this process.

On the whole, Gonggong Wei treated everyone equally, and did not look at Huizhou officers such as Cheng Qing of the capital division differently. On the contrary, reuse is also given.

Moreover, Gonggong Wei is well aware of the basic principle that laymen cannot lead insiders, so in the appointment of the navy, one of the basic principles adhered to is that the capable are on the top, not the pro-one.

As a result, the highest official position of Wei Gonggong's own descendants in the mobile detachment was only guerrilla, and they did not participate in naval operations, but only undertook close combat and land combat. When it came to the specific matters of sailing at sea and naval warfare, he actively listened to the opinions of the officers and men of the navy, rather than making his own decisions.

For Du Si Cheng Qing, Father-in-law Wei also has arrangements.

He moved the staff system of later generations to the Royal Navy, and personally set up the Royal Admiralty Maritime Eunuch Royal Navy, which was called the "Headquarters" to the outside world.

This "headquarters" is the same as the nature of the "soldiers", the former is the title of the Duke of Wei in the Navy Office, and the latter is the title of the secretary of the military department.

From this title alone, you can see the wolf ambition of Gonggong Wei, and at a young age, he raised himself to the same status as the secretary of the Ministry of War.

It didn't take long for the navy to call Wei Gonggong "Ministry Gong".

This is also the third title of the inner court after the governor and the factory, which is of great significance.

In Wei's reorganization plan, the Admiralty Department had three divisions, one was the General Staff Department, the second was the Logistics Department, and the third was the Liaison Department.

The General Staff Department is mainly responsible for providing maritime intelligence, planning naval operations, deploying troops, and dispatching ships. It is basically equivalent to the staff of later generations.

The Logistics Division is responsible for the Royal Navy's supply of food, ordnance procurement, maintenance, base port construction and ship repair.

The Liaison Division is responsible for the liaison of the Royal Navy Headquarters with the Imperial Court, the Inner Court, the Coastal Governor, and the local officials and guards.

Jiang Xifeng, a garrison of the Yuanshui Battalion and a native of Leizhou, Guangdong, was appointed by Wei Gonggong as the chief of staff, with the rank of guerrilla.

This Jiang Xifeng is a bit interesting, this person was a talent before joining the army, because he couldn't get into the army to raise talents. As a result, after joining the army, it was prosperous, and the head of the dry work was the way.

In the Battle of Luliang, Jiang Xifeng led three large ships with General Deng Zilong to take the lead in the battle, and after Chen Zilong unfortunately died in battle, it was Jiang Xifeng who temporarily commanded his ship. After the war, he was promoted to Wusong garrison.

Gonggong Wei noticed this Jiang Xifeng when he was "touching the point", and when he found that this person knew better than Wang Dali, and he could make the affairs of the camp in a clear manner, he decided to use him as his chief of maritime staff.

In the logistics department, Wei Gonggong decisively appointed Cheng Qing, the capital secretary, and added the rank of deputy general. In this part of logistics, there is a lot of oil and water, and Wei's move is undoubtedly a gesture of goodwill to Cheng Qing.

In the liaison department, Gonggong Wei appointed Xu Dayou, who was the first to "surrender" to Gonggong Wei, plus the rank of garrison.

In this way, the third division of the Navy Headquarters, an officer from Huizhou, that is, a cronie of Jiang's cronies in the camp, accounted for two of them, and they were rewarded, which shows that Gonggong Wei has good intentions and can also appease the group of Huizhou generals.

Staying in the detachment, Gonggong Wei also attaches great importance to it.

Although it is called a left-behind detachment, it sounds like a piece to be seen, but its importance is no less than that of a mobile detachment.

At present, and even for a long time, the important base of Wusongkou must not be taken back by the Nanzhi side, so there must be someone who can take charge of it alone to guard for Gonggong Wei.

This person must not have anything to do with the Nanzhi side, and must be able to withstand any pressure from the Nanzhi side to ensure that Wusongkou is under the management of the navy, so this candidate can only be selected from the Houying Banner Army.

Gonggong Wei finally chose Cao Wenyao, one of the two camp officials, to take on this important task, and his deputy was Zheng Duo.

Cao Wenyao was originally from the forbidden army, and participated in the Tengxian Zhukong and Wuxi incidents, so his loyalty is beyond doubt. Zheng Duo is a cronie brought out by Wei Gonggong, if you believe it again, which one can you trust.

So, with a wave of his hand, Cao Wenyao's letter of appointment was added to the rank of general, and Zheng Duo was a guerrilla rank. The following officials are all appointed.

After writing the letter of appointment, two soldiers rushed out of the camp and rushed to Suzhou.

After the initial adjustment of personnel on Wei's side, the next focus was on the supply of money and grain and military preparations.

According to the actual investigation, Wei Gonggong deeply felt that the current naval combat is still indispensable for near-ship combat and landing operations. He listened to Wang Dali and others' specific descriptions of the Luliang naval battle, and judged from the mouths of these officers who participated in the war that the current naval battle was still a battle with mixed cold and hot weapons, rather than a pure firearm firearm battle. In the Battle of Luliang, the Ming Army's naval divisions engaged in large-scale hand-to-hand combat with Japanese warships.

Therefore, in the mobile detachment, the Wei family, the descendant of Gonggong Wei, still plays the role of a marine. The core strength of this Marine Corps is to reduce the Japanese.

In terms of the loyalty and combat effectiveness of the descendants, Gonggong Wei did not have much to worry about. What he is worried about now is whether the soldiers in his hometown will be able to adapt to fighting at sea.

A bunch of landlubbers suddenly got on the boat, and the wind and waves were not comparable to the canal. Even his father-in-law Wei himself didn't dare to say that his stomach would not be upset after getting on the boat and going to sea.
