Time flies, and months have passed in the blink of an eye. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoCompared with before the opening of the town, Qiongzhou Mansion has undergone a lot of changes.

The three groups of immigrants arrived in Lingao, with a total number of nearly 40,000, of whom more than half were young and strong - after all, most of those who could survive the hunger were young and vigorous - unlike the local aborigines and Li people, these immigrants from Shandong were more able to endure hardships than the Han people in Qiongzhou, and their sense of obedience was much stronger than that of the Li people. Under the organization of Qionghai Town, the immigrants reclaimed tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and the first batch of reclaimed fields has reached the harvest season.

On the one hand, grain output and consumption have initially reached a balance and entered the right track of a virtuous circle. On the other hand, the young and strong people who were forcibly included in the military cantonment system gradually adapted to the method of "training by farming", and batch after batch of tunding received the most basic military training and had the conditions for being transferred to the regular army without production, and the time was ripe for the expansion of the army in Qionghai Town.

The expansion of the army is a major event, Chongzhen seven years of wax month, before the New Year, the first large-scale meeting after the Qiongzhou battalion was upgraded to Qionghai Town was held in the South Park Chamber, the first thing was to discuss the issue of army expansion.

Xia Nan said to everyone: "The young and strong immigrants are a good source of soldiers, and after the screening and training at this stage of Tunding, the number of recruits in the first batch of recruits who can be incorporated into the regular army is nearly 10,000. I have decided to temporarily expand the Qiong Navy and Army into two regiments, and then expand them on this basis in the future as the needs of the war and the replenishment of troop sources are carried out. Huang Hansheng was the commander of the first regiment, and Wei Lianheng was the commander of the second regiment, and each regiment was rated at a full strength of 5,000 people. ”

Everyone was beaming with joy and honor. In the blink of an eye, the Qiong Navy expanded from a mere 2,000 army to 10,000, and will continue to expand in the future, and has truly become a force that can influence the general trend of the world. As for the selection of the chief officer of the army, it is not surprising that Huang Hansheng is the descendant of the lineage, and Wei Lianheng is a successful example of the transformation of the old-style officer, both of whom have proved their strength in large and small battles, and it is not surprising that they will become the commander of the army above 10,000 people under one person.

Xia Nan continued: "The army has expanded, the strength has gone up, and the strength cannot be reduced. I decided to turn the former temporary officer training course into a permanent military academy for the training of middle- and lower-ranking officers, and divided it into an army branch and a navy branch, the former continuing to be set up in the Ma Yuan barracks, and the latter being set up in Bofu. I personally served as the chief president of the military academy, and Huang Hansheng and William served as vice presidents, who were in charge of the army branch and the navy branch respectively. ”

Everyone looked at Huang Hansheng and William enviously. Xia Nan couldn't have too much time to ask about the military academy, so Huang Hansheng and William became the actual "talkers" of the military academy. Literati have a teacher to participate in the imperial examination, and the ministers of the DPRK and China preside over a session of the examination, and the middle ministers are their protégés, which is a kind of political resource; now after the establishment of military academies, they can take up the post of principal, and they can also obtain similar network resources as the literati imperial examinations, and then the officers at all levels in the army are their protégés, and their influence in the army can be imagined.

Sima De was a little worried, in this way, would the influence of the two of them on the army be too great? In particular, Huang Hansheng is a confidant of the general, and if he concurrently serves as the vice principal of the military academy again, his protégés will be all over all battalions and companies in the future.

However, his worries are a little redundant, the ancients still knew about the separation of powers and checks and balances, how could Xia Nan, who had served as the CEO of the company, not know this? Although Huang Hansheng's loyalty is unquestionable, a reasonable system is always more reliable than human nature.

He cleared his throat and continued: "When the forest is big, there will be any birds, and there are many people in the army, so it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be mixed. In the past, the Qiongzhou battalion was able to win successive battles, except for firearms, mainly relying on strict military discipline. In order to ensure discipline and combat effectiveness after the expansion of the army, the army should also set up a military justice department, which will be specially responsible for maintaining military discipline and punishing those who violate discipline, and will also be responsible for examining and reporting military merits. Wei Lianheng, the head of the Military Judge Advocate General's Department, is concurrently appointed by Wei Lianheng, the head of the Second Regiment, but there is also a deputy director who is responsible for day-to-day management. ”

Everyone understands that Huang Hansheng is concurrently serving as the vice president of the military academy as the military chief, and Wei Lianheng is concurrently serving as the director of the Department of Military Justice in the same capacity, this is the most obvious check and balance!

Sima De carefully tasted it, a future protégé is all over the army and has great influence, and the other is responsible for the evaluation of military merits and the punishment of violations of military discipline, and the power is not small, so that they can restrain each other, and will not let one side dominate, and this natural antagonistic relationship will not appear The phenomenon of two parties holding together - for the superior, it is not a good thing for his subordinates to form a small group - he admires it in his heart, this lord made his career from selling illicit salt, but he knows the art of blackness and power scheming more than many high-ranking officials who have been immersed in officialdom for half his life, and it seems that he is a genius from heaven, destined to ascend to that supreme position. Of course, he didn't know that no one in the world was born to know that this lord was not a salt seller, but a business boss from later generations.

While savoring the personnel arrangements of the lord, the topic turned to Sima De himself. Xia Nan looked at Sima De and said: "The march and battle must not only rely on the soldiers to fight bravely in the front, but also rely on the strategy of the rear. I decided to upgrade the temporary staff meeting to the Military Aircraft Staff Office, with Mr. Sima as the chief of staff, who was responsible for assisting me in analyzing the military situation, formulating operational plans, and dispatching troops. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and it was another heavyweight personnel arrangement, this Shenma Military Aircraft Staff Office, unaware of it, sounded very awesome.

Sima De suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked cautiously: "May I ask the general, does the authority of this military aircraft staff office and the two regiment commanders of Huang and Wei overlap, and how to divide them?" ”

"There is no overlap, you are responsible for the overall situation, they are responsible for the front-line combat command, in other words, where you point, where they fight! Of course, major military arrangements must be personally agreed to by me. ”

Sima De's heart blossomed, isn't this the realm he has pursued all his life? Strategize and kill the enemy thousands of miles away.

Xia Nan seemed to have made sufficient preparations, and immediately threw out the next appointment again: "The logistics support of an army is the basis for winning a war, and after the expansion of the army, the small and refined logistics supply method for hundreds and thousands of people in the past is no longer suitable, but we cannot rely on robbery to ensure military supplies like a Tartar, so we must establish a strong logistics support mechanism." I decided to set up a quartermaster bureau in the army, which would be responsible for the production and supply of weapons, ammunition, and equipment, as well as the wartime support supply, with Mr. Sun in charge. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Sima De and Sun Yuanhua, this is another way to check and balance each other, one of the two big think tanks is in charge of command, and the other is in charge of military supplies, and neither can overpower the other.
