Chapter 118: Flag-Presenting
PS: See the exclusive story behind "Han'er is not a slave", listen to your more suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the starting point Chinese network public account (WeChat add friends - add public account - enter qdread), tell me quietly! A group of officers waited eagerly for Zhou Shixiang to say the candidates for a hundred households, but Zhou Shixiang did not say it immediately, but suddenly raised his hand and signaled the guards in the audience to bring up the several battle flags that were made last night.
There are a total of five battle flags, all of which are black characters on a red background, and are divided into five flags: "Zhenyu", "Xiongwei", "Tiger Jie", "Trap" and "Guard". The flag is square in shape, but there are wavy banners on all four sides, and the flagpole is made of large wood, which is unusually strong. There is a sharp spearhead on the pole, and it is paired with red cherry blossoms, which looks really magnificent.
After the five flags were unfurled, most of the people in the audience were stunned, and they didn't know what was written on the flags that the thousands of households asked people to take out.
In the astonishment and speculation of everyone, Zhou Shixiang turned around and took the battle flag embroidered with "Zhenjiao", his eyes fell on the face of Ge Zheng, who was confused, and shouted: "Ge Zheng! ”
Ge Zheng was excited, and blurted out: "The end will be!" ”
"This thousand households ordered you to capture hundreds of households for my Taiping Army, and come to the stage to receive the flag!"
"Hundreds of households in the camp? Yes? The last general commands! ”
Ge Zheng didn't expect that he was the first hundred households appointed by Zhou Shixiang, so he was excited, and happily walked out of the crowd, walked quickly onto the high platform in the envious eyes of others, and took over the battle flag of the Zhenying Camp from Zhou Shixiang.
Looking at Ge Zheng, who was excited, Zhou Shixiang said eight characters again, but it was "The flag is in the people, and the flag is dead." ”
"The flag is in the people, the flag is dead!"
In just eight words, Ge Zheng was extremely solemn, and waved the battle flag in his hand towards the air, and the sound of the "Huhu" flag was majestic.
"Shao Jiugong!"
"The last will be the last general!"
"This thousand households ordered you to camp a hundred households for the majesty. Take the stage and receive the flag! ”
"The last general will take the order, Lord Xie Qianhu!"
The second person called by Zhou Shixiang was not an old brother from Daqiao Mountain, but Shao Jiugong, a general of Luo Ding. I heard Zhou Shixiang call his name. Shao Jiugong's heart was relieved, and he looked at Jiang He and Ge Yi. With a slight nervousness and uneasiness, he stepped onto the high platform.
After receiving the majestic battle flag, Shao Jiugong also subconsciously said the eight characters "The flag is in the people, the flag is dead", and then learned from Ge Zheng's appearance to put the battle flag in his hand under the shaking number in the air, and stood quietly aside.
"Qin Zhisheng!"
"The last general!"
"This thousand households ordered you to camp hundreds of households for Hujie, and take the flag on stage!"
"The last general will take the order, Lord Xie Qianhu!"
As the eldest of the old brothers from Daqiao Mountain, Qin Zhisheng looked down on being an official or not. On that day, he refused the appointment of the general banner in Luoding, but now he went to the high stage with a little pride after hearing Zhou Shixiang's name.
"Tie Yi!"
"The last general!"
"This thousand households ordered you to be trapped in the camp and hundreds of households, and come to the stage to take the flag!"
"The last general will take the order, Lord Xie Qianhu!"
Tie Yi is the fourth candidate to be called to the top of the 100 households, Zhou Shixiang just said that the Taiping Army is divided into five battalions from now on, four battalions of soldiers, and one battalion of personal guards, the first three battalions are divided into Zhenjiao, Xiongwei, and Hujie, but the fourth battalion is called "trapped".
As the name suggests, the word "trapped" is to fight bravely in the battlefield and capture the enemy's position. Tie Yi's subordinates are all miners, good at gunpowder, and good at blasting. The word "trapped" is most suitable for them.
The Zhenyu Battalion, the Xiongwei Battalion, the Hujie Battalion, and the Hundred Households of the Trap Camp were all released, and the candidates for the four hundred households did not exceed the expectations of the officers and veterans under the stage, nor did they disagree, but at this moment, everyone was concerned about the candidates for the last battalion, that is, the hundred households of the Guards Battalion.
At present, there are many candidates who can serve as the hundred households of the guard camp, and there are at least three or four old brothers from Daqiao Mountain who can be qualified, such as Ge Zheng's brother Ge Yi and the bald Jiang He. Among the recruits recruited by Luo Ding, there are also a few outstanding ones who can serve, such as the previous flag soldier Song Erniu.
The Guards Battalion is the personal guard of the commander of the first battalion just by hearing the name. Regardless of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the general's personal soldiers are always the best in the whole battalion. He is also the most majestic soldier, and the commander of the personal guard is the henchman of the general's henchmen. Therefore, everyone speculated in their hearts about who could be the hundred households of this guard battalion.
didn't let everyone wait long, Zhou Shixiang pointed out what he thought was the best candidate for the 100 households of the guard camp.
"Jiang He!"
"Whew!"
The bald Jiang He exhaled a long breath and almost roared in agreement: "The end will be!" ”
"Ben Qianhu ordered you to be a hundred households in the guard camp, and you are willing to protect Ben Qianhu or so!"
"The last general is willing to go to the soup for the Lord of a Thousand Households!"
"Okay, come to the stage and take the flag!"
"The last general will take the order, Lord Xie Qianhu!"
When he came to the stage, Jiang He's waist was straighter than anyone else, and he was even more proud when he looked at everyone's eyes, so much so that Ge Zheng on the stage glared at him.
"The flag is in the people, the flag is dead!"
After taking over the Guards Battle Flag, Jiang He shook it harder than Ge Zheng and Shao Jiugong, lest the soldiers in the distance under the stage not see that it was him Jiang Hedang's Guards Battalion.
"The appointment of five battalions and one hundred households has been announced, and the establishment of each battalion is hereby announced. From now on, 20 soldiers will be a team, and the captain will be appointed by Xiaoqi; 5 Wu is a team, and the team is being appointed by the general flag; The five teams are a battalion, and the battalion is being run by 100 households. ”
"In addition to the commander, each corps shall have a deputy commander, and the deputy commander shall be appointed by the sergeant; In addition to the team leader, each team has a deputy team leader, and the deputy team is appointed by the small flag; In addition to the battalion leader, each battalion has two deputy battalion leaders, and the deputy battalion is being appointed by 100 households. ”
"The soldiers in the battalion are all battalion soldiers, and those who cut three levels can be appointed as sergeants, and those who cut six levels can be appointed as small flags, and the above ranks are promoted to several multiples of the first rank."
"Each battalion selects another 20 soldiers as a battalion to be responsible for the food of the whole battalion. The commander of the gang is short of small flags. ”
"All the archers are concentrated in one battalion of the guards, and one or two separate regiments are formed depending on the number of people, and they will be expanded in the future."
"All those who can ride horses are also concentrated in the first battalion of the guards, and this thousand households have other appointments."
"The existing knives, spears, swords, axes and weapons in the whole battalion were all counted, and the firearms, arrows, and cotton armor were also counted."
"Now the five battalions and 100 households will immediately adjust the personnel of their departments, and the recruits and prisoners will be expanded separately, and the battalions must not compete."
Under the assignment of Zhou Shixiang, the new five battalions and 100 households immediately went to adjust the personnel of each battalion, although Zhou Shixiang emphasized that each battalion should not fight, but Ge Zheng and Shao Jiugong still robbed the soldiers openly and secretly when they went down. In particular, veterans who have participated in several battles are the objects of contention among the battalions. As soon as the Xiongwei battalion made a small flag, the Hujie battalion over there promised a general flag. In order to snatch those with outstanding skills, Ge Zheng and Jiang He almost fought. Trouble to Zhou Shixiang. After a scolding, Zhou Shixiang personally presided over the distribution of veterans, and it was generally distributed to each battalion, and no one took advantage of it and no one suffered.
There are a total of 100 households in the 5th battalion, and Zhou Shixiang finally determined the candidates for the 100 households after reading the list again and again. These ten people are Peng Dazhu, Ge Yi, Song Erniu, Zheng Tiezhu, Zheng Daniu, Lin Zhengxing, Wang Youxi, Zhang Erjiang, Wu Mazi and Li Fuguo.
Except for Li Fu, four of the remaining nine people are old brothers from Daqiao Mountain. They were all the general banners and small banners before, and the other four people participated in the Taiping Camp after Luo Ding, among which Song Erniu, Zheng Tiezhu, and Zheng Daniu all became the general banner.
Lin Zhengsheng had never even been a small flag before, and his performance in the Battle of Deqing was average, but in the first battle of Xinxing, he cut down four green battalion soldiers, and then he was even more brave in the first battle of Sihui, and he killed several battalion soldiers in a row. When attacking Gaoyao City, he was the first to rush into the city, and after the war, Zhou Shixiang attached great importance to him, and decided to set him one when considering ten candidates for a hundred households.
Wang Youxi's name is very festive. The person is also festive, he is not from Daqiao Mountain, nor is he a recruit in Luo Ding. is from the Green Battalion, and he is a soldier under Shao Jiugong.
The Jiangxi soldiers who had no back road on their backs were outstanding in a series of battles after participating in the Taiping Camp, and this Wang Youxi was one of the representative figures, and there were probably more than a dozen of them so far. With the promotion of the first rank alone, it would not be his turn to try the position of 100 households, but in order to appease and commend the Jiangxi soldiers, Zhou Shixiang made a break with the exception of Wang Youxi to try 100 households, and he served in Shao Jiugong's majestic battalion.
Li Fuguo's appointment as a test hundred households was entirely out of the need to win over. This co-optation is not because he is afraid that Li Fuguo will turn against the water, Zhou Shixiang believes that Li Fuguo will not have the courage to turn against the water. Because he was similar to Shao Jiugong's gang, there was no way out in the Qing Dynasty. This wooing is not so much a solicitation. It is better to point to his original name as a thousand generals to shock the green camp captives in Gaoyao City, so that they can feel at ease and no longer worry that the Taiping army will kill them.
With Shao Jiugong's precedent, the Taiping Army will inevitably accept more Green Battalion generals in the future, and it is particularly important to place them well and completely convert them into members of the Taiping Army. To convert one more Han soldier who served the Qing court was to revive the Han people. The Han people in the world can't be killed, but the Manchurians can. Without the help of the Han people, Zhou Shixiang had reason to believe that the Manchurians would be wiped out one day.
The list of general flags and small flags of each battalion was quickly reported by 500 households, and most of them were promoted by previous small flags and veterans, and the other half were some recruits with outstanding performance.
Liao Ruixiang, an old prisoner in Deqing Prison, was sent to the back camp by Zhou Shixiang after being a staff member of Zhou Qianhu for a few days, after all, the old man Liao is old, and the front camp is relying on two legs to break into Zhaoqing, relying on fast marching, and relying on daring to fight and kill, so that although Zhou Shixiang urgently needs knowledge and help by his side, he can't help but let Old Man Liao go to the back camp, because this old man can't keep up with the actions of the front camp at all, and staying with him will only hurt him.
Without the assistance of Master Liao, all the official documents of the whole army need to be busy with Zhou Shixiang alone, which makes his head big and headache, after listening to Ge Zheng and they said that there are a few young people who can read and write among the recruits to be recruited, Zhou Shixiang immediately asked Ge Zheng to bring people over, and asked these young people to help deal with official documents every day in the guard camp.
After all the soldiers of each battalion were adjusted, the first battalion had a total of 500 soldiers, 20 soldiers, 520 battalion members, and 35 officers above the small flag.
