Chapter 18 Reorganization and Reward

The capture of the flag boundary marks that the rebel army has defeated the main Qing army in the city and initially controlled Fuzhou City, but this does not mean that Chen Jingyun can raise his pillow and fall asleep, and now he has more important things to deal with, such as the large number of surrendered Qing troops who are squatting outside now, including banner people and patrol battalions, these people can't be dealt with hastily, can't be put directly, and can't keep watching.

"Ma Cheng!" Chen Jingyun habitually tapped his fingers on the table.

Ma Cheng, who also hadn't closed his eyes all night, immediately stood up: "Mark it down!" ”

"Wait for you to go to the surrendered Qing army, persuade those ordinary soldiers, and those who are willing to join the revolution immediately join your department, and those who are unwilling will send one silver dollar to each person to be dismissed." The rebels did not have any extra troops to guard the prisoners, and after collecting their guns, these surrenders would be of little use anyway.

Then he glanced at the officers below, and said to Yu Shaoying, who had just arrived in the gendarmerie battalion: "Brother Yu, the brothers of the gendarmerie battalion worked hard last night, and now the situation is unstable. ”

Yu Shaoying even claimed that it was.

Subsequently, Chen Jingyun arranged for Feng Qin to set up a recruitment office in the downtown area: "Recruitment is very urgent, now my rebel army is less than 2,000, and we urgently need a large number of troops to replenish, so Feng Qin, your task is very heavy!" ”

"My subordinates know!" After a night of scuffle, Feng Qin has already stepped into the ranks of the revolutionary party with one foot, whether he wants to or not, he has to obey Chen Jingyun's orders, and he also hopes to maintain the current situation. Otherwise, if the Fuzhou uprising failed, would the imperial court still listen to him: "I was coerced!" ”

"But don't recruit everything, smokers, old and young, frail, hooligans and ruffians must not want it." Chen Jingyun also knows that most of the people who came to serve as soldiers on the first day, except for those who really can't survive, are hooligans and ruffians, and ordinary people are still trembling and hiding at home! However, we must not start with this, because it is easy to recruit them now, and it will be extremely difficult to reorganize the military discipline and atmosphere of the army in the future.

Hou Chen Jingyun continued: "Now the city of Fuzhou has been cleared of soldiers, but there is still the second battalion of the 37th standard Yuan Fangbu outside the city, and the two battalions of Qin Yunian in Changle not far away, these are all great threats to us, in order to deal with possible battles, I decided to reorganize the existing rebel army!" ”

As soon as Chen Jingyun's words came out, everyone present changed their faces, especially Lin Wenying, Xiao Qibin and Peng Shousong, although the rebel army in the city is now said to be commanded by Chen Jingyun, but among the subordinate departments, only the second battalion is absolutely obedient to Chen Jingyun's command, and the words of other people's troops are easy to say now, but no one can say when they will disobey the order.

However, the current situation is tense, and it is impossible for Chen Jingyun to say a word to confiscate the military power of Lin Wenying, Xiao Qibin, Peng Shousong, Yu Shaoying and others.

"First of all, it's a matter of title, now our rebel army has no official name, and the military and political axe has not had time to be formed, but there is a general name for the outside world! I suggest that the 'Fujian National Army' be used, as well as the town, association, standard, team, and shed are all old names of the former Qing Dynasty, and I suggest that divisions, brigades, regiments, companies, and squads be used instead, and the front and rear left and right teams should also be changed to 1234 companies. After Chen Jingyun finished speaking, Feng Qin immediately distributed the documents marked with detailed contents to the hands of the officers!

After Lin Wenying and others read it, they felt that it was just a change of name, and it did not involve a specific military system, in fact, this issue had been discussed in the two meetings before their uprising, and now it is just being taken out publicly. So everyone nodded their heads and passed.

"With this title, we can also use this title to issue a notice to reassure the people and appease the people!" Chen Jingyun said as he spoke: "Feng Qin, when you do it yourself, you will send it in the name of the Fujian National Army Headquarters!" ”

Chen Jingyun then continued: "Now among the various departments in the city, there is a second battalion, an engineering battalion, an artillery battalion, and Mr. Peng's brother, and there is no need to adjust too much, directly according to the current adjustment of the departments, the second battalion is promoted to the first regiment, and Ma Cheng is the commander; The engineering battalion and Mr. Peng's brother were merged into the second regiment, with Lin Wenying as the regiment commander and Peng Shousong as the deputy regiment commander; The artillery battalion was promoted to an artillery regiment, with Xiao Qibin as the commander; The gendarmerie battalion was promoted to the gendarmerie regiment, Yu Shaoying was the commander, the horse team was promoted to the cavalry battalion, and Huang Anyuan was the battalion commander! The Cadet Corps and our own corps formed a guard battalion together, with Lin Chengkun as the battalion commander and under the direct jurisdiction of the headquarters, and a new third regiment was established, with Li Lianyang as the regiment commander. ”

Chen Jingyun said while watching everyone's reactions, it was obvious that Chen Jingyun's words were satisfied by the vast majority of people present, Lin Wenying, Xiao Qibin, and Yu Shaoying, needless to say, were all unified as the regiment commander, that is, the previous standard, and Huang Anyuan was also promoted from team officer to battalion commander, as for Chen Jingyun's original subordinates, they were all full of joy, without him, they were promoted. It's that Peng Shousong's face is a little weird, although he also became the deputy head of the regiment, but he was merged with Lin Wenying's department, which made him a little unhappy. But at this important moment, he can't put forward any opinions, so he can only complain a few words.

Chen Jingyun looked at the joy of the people below, and he didn't care, because now the armory, the bank of the Daqing Bank branch are in his hands, just now Lin Chengkun came to report and secretly told him, he found about eight million silver dollars from the silver treasury, and at the same time, he has arranged for his own soldiers to raid the banner nobles in the city one by one, I believe that the income will not be less, these money is the basis of his Chen Jingyun's army expansion. As for Peng Shousong, Lin Wenying and others just have an extra title, as long as Chen Jingyun doesn't give them ordnance and military salary, it is impossible to expand the army in a short period of time.

After appointing these senior officers, Chen Jingyun personally appointed a series of middle-level officers of the First Regiment, including deputy regiment commanders, battalion commanders of three battalions, and company commanders of 12 companies. In addition, the second regiment, the artillery regiment and other Chen Jingyun are not easy to interfere, just tell Lin Wenying and Xiao Qibin to report the officers below. The former secretary of the 38th Standard Administration, quartermaster, ordnance and other military assistants were transferred to the headquarters, and Feng Qin was also promoted to chief of the general staff of the headquarters.

This reorganization did not involve very deep content, basically the detailed military system has not been changed, it is just a change of title, and the expansion of various ministries has only given titles and establishments, and Chen Jingyun has grasped the ordnance and military salary very tightly, and has not given half of it. Obviously, after a night of intense fighting, Lin Wenying and the others had not yet realized that Chen Jingyun had begun to restrict their military power.

After everyone was happy, Lin Wenying said: "Commander Chen, now that the Li Jimin Department outside the city is still confronting Yuan Fang's Department, we should urgently go to reinforcements!" ”

Chen Jingyun nodded: "Now the second battalion outside the city is indeed a trouble, Commander Lin, do you have the courage to take a trip!" ”

Hearing Chen Jingyun's command, Lin Wenying immediately stood up: "Humble and orderly!" ”

Hearing Lin Wenying so readily agreed to this order, this somewhat surprised Chen Jingyun, Chen Jingyun's mind was very simple, nothing more than to spend Lin Wenying's second regiment to fight with Yuan Fang, no matter whether he won or lost, Lin Wenying's department would suffer losses, in addition, in the eyes of the alliance in the city, Lin Wenying and Xiao Qibin's influence was too great, and it was a thorn in Chen Jingyun's eyes to put it here, how uncomfortable it was. But after Lin Wenying agreed so easily, it made Chen Jingyun feel a little guilty: Is he too villainous?

Although he felt guilty in his heart, in order to prevent Lin Wenying from absorbing Li Jimin's third battalion and Yuan Fang's second battalion, he still made a first move: "By the way, Li Jimin's department was also promoted to the regiment, well, it is the fourth regiment, and Li Jimin is the commander." "This is another Chen Kui, you take my warrant to persuade Yuan Fang to surrender, and if he is willing to surrender, also give him a regiment."

Chen Kui was the platoon commander of Chen Jingyun's original pro-soldier team, and he served as the deputy battalion commander after the Cadet Corps was changed to a guard battalion, and Chen Jingyun wrote a warrant to him. The warrant is written: If the brother comes to vote, he will be entrusted with the important task of a cooperative. It's not difficult to say this kind of big talk, anyway, Chen Jingyun doesn't care what happens in the future, the important thing is to bring this Yuan Fang over first.

After solving these things, the officers began to retreat, Lin Wenying hurriedly prepared to lead the crowd out of the city, and the other officers were also busy with other military affairs, Chen Jingyun was just about to lie down and rest for a while, but he got a report that he had captured the Fuzhou general Pu Shou who wanted to flee to the embassy, Chen Jingyun had no intention of killing him and did not have the heart to see him, only said: "Lock up first!" ”

After sending the heralds, as soon as they closed their eyes, another guard reported that it was the officers and soldiers at the front who had captured a large number of former Qing officials, including high-ranking civil officials such as the governor and Daotai, as well as high-ranking military attachΓ©s such as Sun Daoren. The other officials, Chen Jingyun, didn't bother to listen, but when he heard that Sun Daoren had also been arrested, he pondered.

Regardless of whether it is public or private, he doesn't want Sun Daoren to be harmed, Sun Daoren is his boss, and he has the grace to promote, if Sun Daoren is killed, then the word 'widow' will have to be worn on his head for a lifetime, and he also married the daughter of Lin Mansion, which is inseparable from Sun Daoren. What's more, Sun Daoren's influence in the Tenth Town is still there, and if he can be persuaded to join the rebels, then there is a great hope of convincing the new troops scattered throughout Fujian, such as Qin Yunian in Changle County.

After thinking about it before and after, he didn't care about resting, and after putting on his coat, he was ready to go out to see Sun Daoren.

I haven't gone out yet, and I heard the guard report again, saying that someone from my house was coming, and I called it in to take a look, only to know that it was Chen Yanghui, the housekeeper in the house.

"Fourth uncle, why are you here in chaos?" Chen Jingyun asked.

Chen Yanghui's face was a little pale, and he obviously didn't sleep well all night: "Everything is fine at home, although there were several waves of small intentions to make trouble last night, but there are soldiers sent by the young master to protect them, and everyone is fine." The old lady heard that there was a disturbance last night, and she was very worried, so she asked me to come out early in the morning to inquire, and after hearing that the young master's headquarters was here, the old slave immediately came over."

After saying this, Chen Yanghui glanced left and right at the guards beside Chen Jingyun and the officers following behind him, and immediately lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, are you really against the imperial court?" ”

Chen Jingyun smiled: "That's right, it's the other way around, you can go back later, close the door tightly, and tell my mother that everything is okay!" ”

Regardless of whether Chen Yanghui was still stunned, he walked directly past him and walked towards the gate, Chen Yanghui came back to his senses after a while, and muttered: "It's the opposite!" It's really the opposite, what can I do! ”――
