Feng Yunshan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Brother Outline, thank you for the reminder!" Yun Shan didn't expect that such a thing would happen. I have been thinking about www.biquge.info matter of the Heaven and Earth Society recently, how to solve it. Do you have any good suggestions? ”

At this moment, the two of them all put down the identities of the Holy King and their subordinates, as if they had returned to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom when the incident had just started, Feng Yunshan was alone, and went to the river to find Luo Xuan, and persuaded him to lead his troops to defect to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Luo Xuan fell into deep thought for a while before he said: "According to Luo, now two-thirds of the army of my holy kingdom is the congregation of heaven and earth, this is already an unchangeable thing, and the current plan is to continue to expand the new army, select poor children from the people under the rule of the holy country, and dilute the proportion of the captive army in the congregation of heaven and earth; The second is to focus on cleaning up the leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society like Qiu Changdao, and we must ensure that these commanders of the captured military divisions must be completely loyal to the Holy King and the Holy Kingdom, and there can be no more traitors like Qiu Changdao. ”

Feng Yunshan's proposal made some sense, but he was thinking more at the moment.

The problem of the Heaven and Earth Society, he has been dragging it out, in fact, he should have started to deal with it a long time ago, but all along, whether it was the former Holy Army or the current Capture Army, the Heaven and Earth Congregation occupied the main force, and it was not them who occupied the main generals, but the old brothers in Guangxi who followed him. Therefore, it is conceivable that as the original congregation of heaven and earth, there must have been some dissatisfaction, and after they joined the holy army, they were still under the hands of the original leader, and they did not break up the organization, which caused the army to be armies, and it was easy to form independent kingdoms and independent small groups.

After Qiu Changdao's rebellion, Feng Yunshan carefully analyzed the reasons for his rebellion. On the surface, it was Qiu Changdao who failed, and he was afraid that he would hold him responsible, coupled with the promise of a high-ranking official from the Manchu government, so he defected. However, from the root analysis, it is because of the lack of fundamental supervision, the lack of unified ideological understanding, and the lack of faith.

When Feng Yunshan established this military system, in addition to the division commander, the first commander, he was also equipped with a division executive committee, but now, because of the lack of manpower, this division executive committee and the division deputy executive committee are either the division commander concurrently, or the regiment commander below has been promoted to a part-time position, as for the deputy division commander and chief of staff, most of them are also concurrently held by the regiment commander, so it violates the original intention of this establishment, especially this soul figure who can supervise the officers and men of the entire division and unify the thinking of the officers and men of the whole division--- the division executive committee, all dereliction of duty. This is what we are doing.

Fortunately, through Qiu Changdao's incident, it was discovered early.

In addition, a small number of soldiers who escaped from the 4th Division revealed that a cadre of Qiu Changdao had long instigated Qiu Changdao to betray the Holy Country, but no one reported or informed. Feng Yunshan knew that this was the lack of a supervision system in the army.

He guessed that Qiu Changdao led the rebellion this time, and there should also be this factor. Blame yourself, overconfident, too much belief that those who were originally from gangs, and when it comes to future generations, they are a gang of gangsters, and they didn't give them much benefit, no wonder they instigated Qiu Changdao to rebel.

In this way, it is also necessary to establish a set of institutions to supervise the officers and generals of the captive army, and for these big leaders who were originally the leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society, it is even more necessary to treat them with caution and closely monitor them without them noticing.

In addition, similar to this B4th Division, the congregation of heaven and earth in one place still has to be scattered and disrupted.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan nodded and said to Luo Xuan: "What Brother Outline said is very reasonable. Now the territory of our holy kingdom has more than doubled, and the number of soldiers and soldiers captured is still on the basis of the original occupation of southern Hunan and Liangguang. It is true that there are some shortcomings, but once the army is expanded, not only will the combat strength of the army be reduced, but also the financial burden of the Holy Kingdom will be heavier. Therefore, it is still necessary to be cautious and do what you can. ”

"As for cleaning up the generals who were born as the leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society in the captive army, this is very tricky. If it doesn't work out, it will cause the disgust of a group of good brothers who are finally in the Holy Country, and affect the large-scale turmoil in their army. I'll think about that. Feng Yunshan sighed cautiously: "It's not easy." ”

Luo Xuan said: "Holy King, let's start with Luo and make an example for the army!" Up and down the Holy Kingdom, who doesn't know, my Luo Outline was originally from the Heaven and Earth Society, and there are a group of brothers under him. Just starting with Luo, I don't believe it, who can have anything to say. As for how to clean it up, Luo Mou is a rough man, but he can't think of it, anyway, the Holy King, you command, Luo Mou resolutely obeyed. ”

Luo Xuan's words made Feng Yunshan extremely moved, this is the old brother who followed him at the beginning. He could only nod, clasping Luo Gang's hand tightly and shaking it.

That night, the two of them were in the back garden of the Holy King's Mansion, drunk, and there was a bit of laughter and hatred in it, and the two of them seemed to have returned to the time when they were in the Taiping League Camp in Bauhinia Mountain.

The next day, Feng Yunshan asked Wang Minyun to draft an edict of the Holy King, stipulating that every year, regardless of the first and second grades, the commanders of all divisions and brigades must go to the Shengwang Palace, report to the Holy King and the General Staff at the end of the year, and conduct an ideological training.

At the same time, it was announced that Luo Xuan, commander of the 5th Division A, He Lu, commander of the 1st Division, Huang Dingfeng, commander of the 2nd Division, He Zhigou, commander of the 6th Division, Jiang Tianyi, commander of the 7th Division, and brigade commanders Wang Dacai, Huang Zhonghuan, Chen Shuitai, Zheng Yuanbo, Zhang Bashan, Li Shibao, and Chen Yihe would be mobilized to report back to Guangzhou.

At the same time, the General Staff Headquarters issued an order to disperse and redistribute some regiments and battalions in the divisions and brigades, which were mainly composed of the congregation of heaven and earth, and to randomly transfer the regiment and battalion commanders. Of course, these transfers avoided the first-class divisions that were out on the march as much as possible.

At the same time, Feng Yunshan personally issued another Sacred King's Decree, stipulating that all captives should implement a system of unpaid compulsory military service combined with a system of paid voluntary military service.

The Holy King's Decree stipulates that the newly conscripted captive army is a compulsory soldier and is not paid, but at the time of enlistment, his family enjoys a one-time subsidy of three taels of silver, and the original preferential policies such as halving the field tax and sharing one more person per mu of land are still the same, but they must serve in the captive army for four years, which is an obligation. After four years, according to the selection and selection of prisoners in the army, those who pass the test can continue to serve in the army, which is for the sake of volunteering.

And this volunteer soldier, according to the rank and level, can enjoy the corresponding remuneration paid by the Holy State, and this remuneration is not low, generally become a volunteer, at least a non-commissioned officer, a corporal, a soldier's salary of one or two silver per month, however, according to Feng Yunshan's plan, all paid with the copper coins issued by the Holy Kingdom itself, a total of 1,400 copper coins. At the rank of major general, you can already get twenty taels of silver per month.

For this salary, although it is not a lot, compared with the Taiping Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there is no salary at all, which is a big improvement. Compared with the green battalion soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, the most basic soldiers, although the green battalion soldiers ostensibly cost one or two or two dollars a month, they can only get half or even one-third of their salaries because they are often deducted.
