Chapter 137 Missing Gun
A 1,000-person battalion of the original Shengjun army was integrated into a battalion directly under the division. This is an enhanced battalion with four companies and battalion commander Feng Guozhang. This battalion is full of Wei Rugui's strong army, and there are many proud soldiers and tough generals. Zhou Charter set them as a battalion directly under the division, which is to put these proud soldiers and tough generals under his own eyes, good **. Zhou Charter knew that these former Shengjuns were still effective. If ** is good, they will become a elite soldier.
In addition, Zhang Jun set up a training department with Hannagan as the training director. Responsible for the military training of the whole army. In addition, Hannagan is also the chief of staff of Zhang Jun.
According to Hannagan's suggestion, Zhang Jun also set up a quartermaster's department. The hawker was born with expensive money and was lucky to serve as the minister of the quartermaster's department. This is a very significant difference between Zhang Jun and other troops of the Qing army.
In the traditional Qing army, there are quartermasters, but there is no special logistics support agency. The logistical support is completely unsystematic, and the grain and ammunition are prepared by each battalion itself. Zhou Charter set up a quartermaster department in Zhangjun and arranged more than 300 old and heavy soldiers to give valuable money, forming a system similar to a "military station". All the food, straw and ammunition of Zhangjun are uniformly distributed by the logistics department. All regiments, battalions, companies and other combat units only need to apply to the logistics department to receive the required materials without raising them themselves. In this way, the efficiency of logistics support has been greatly improved, and the combat effectiveness of each combat unit has also been greatly improved.
Zhou Charter really had prestige and completed a drastic reform in a short time. There was no objection to the officers and soldiers, whether they were Koreans or Qing people.
The officers received the appointment and immediately returned to the army and began to rectify the team. The Zhang army was in full swing, and the officers and soldiers were in high spirits. Soon, all departments were in order.
Zhou Charter sat in the bedroom, wrote a list of meritorious generals and the official positions to be awarded, ready to submit them to the court for approval. The court does not recognize any division commanders, regimental commanders, battalion commanders and company commanders. Among the ranks of military officers in the Qing Dynasty, only the admirals, generals, thousands of households, garrison, thousands of generals, and general officials. The regiments, battalions and company commanders appointed by Zhou Charter are actually Baiding. If they want to obtain the salary and status of the imperial court, they must be recognized by the court. The official taste.
Hannagan originally had the reputation of a second-class general soldier. As a foreign devil, he can't ask the court to give him a first-class military admiral title. Zhou Charter can only ask the court to give him spiritual encouragement, such as wearing a yellow horse coat.
Zhou Charter himself has been awarded the title of the general soldier of the third grade by the imperial court. Luo Mingfang, the deputy division commander of the following officers and deputy division, intends to award the fourth grade commanders. The emperor Naha has a noble status and intends to be awarded the commander of the fourth grade of the four-grade guard. The rest of the regimental commander intends to award the fifth grade of thousands of households, the battalion commander intends to award the sixth grade of the general, and the company commander intends to award the seventh grade of the deputy Push half a step.
In addition, Yao Xi, as the adjutant of Zhou Charter, you have awarded Zheng Liupin Qianzong, and Feng Guozhang is the battalion commander directly under the division. The grade is the same as the regimental commander, and he is also Zhengwupin Qianhu.
Zhou Charter was writing. Suddenly, he heard the noise of footsteps outside the door. Looking up, he saw the regimental officers gathered at the door and were anxious.
"What's wrong with you? Is there anyone who disobeys the consolidation? Zhou Charter asked. Zhang Jun is a hodgepodge. There are all kinds of people, and the consolidation will inevitably touch the interests of some people. If someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, it is also expected by Zhou Charter.
"Teacher," Luo Mingfang said, "The reorganization is also smooth, but the army lacks guns."
Zhang Jun has more than 10,000 people and only has more than 4,000 guns. Among the regiments, only Zhang Xun's third regiment and the second regiment of Nahawu have sufficient weapons. They have divided more than 2,000 guns of Wei Ruguiyi's army, but one-third of them do not have guns. Wu Peifu's first regiment was originally the main regiment, with more than 2,000 people with only 300 guns. Park Yonglie's fourth regiment was composed of North Koreans, and there were only 80 guns in the regiment. The worst thing is that Feng Guozhang's divisional battalion didn't even have a single gun.
When weapons and equipment are overstretched, the officers of each unit make up their minds.
Feng Guozhang's direct battalion was adapted by Sheng Jun. They originally had guns. Their guns were first handed over by Naha Five. Later, Naha Five divided a thousand guns to Zhang Xun according to the order of Zhou Charter. Feng Guozhang was not convinced and found Zhang Xun to ask for a gun. Zhang Xun was already dissatisfied with Feng Guozhang. How could he give up the gun he got to him? The two quarreled endlessly, even to the point of tension.
Wu Peifu saw that Nahawu had got more than 1,000 guns from Shengjun and was extremely jealous. He begged Nahawu to come with 500 guns. Nahawu was an iron rooster, and relying on his identity as the emperor's uncle, he refused it harshly and made Wu Peifu angry.
Park Yonglie also knew that it was reasonable. Instead of looking for Ha Wu and Zhang Xun for guns, he made a military supplies list, with 15,000 rifles, 10,000 bullets, eight wild guns and 500 shells. He rushed to the Minister of Munitions and asked the Military Supply Department to supply them in full according to the number of books. Otherwise, It's about to smash the signboard of the quartermaster's department!
It is the vocation of the quartermaster's office to provide firearms and equipment for the army. Poor money is expensive. He was born in a small business. He just became a quartermaster and thought he was fishing for a fat shortage. Suddenly, he received this big order and suddenly became scared. It was okay for this guy to sell some herbs and fur. If he wanted him to make rifles and cannons, he even touched his soul. No!
Everyone was noisy and ran to Zhou Charter to comment on his grievances.
The room was chaotic, and everyone said their own words. Their faces were red and their necks were thick. Zhou Charter simply closed his eyes and leaned against the chair. After a while, he actually snored.
As soon as Zhou Charter snored, Yao Xi became nervous. Zhou Charter slept for several days and finally woke up. He seemed to be recovering. In fact, his physical condition was very unstable. If he fell asleep again, God knew when he would wake up.
Yao Xi shouted: "Shut up! Shut up! You, you son of a bitch, shut up!"
Naha Wu was scolding Zhang Xun. Suddenly, he heard Yao Xi shouting and was furious: "Damn Yao Xi, I am a relative of the Qing family, and I am the imperial uncle. How dare you talk to me like this!"
Yao Xi has long been not the one who wet his pants. He fought several vicious battles and became an adjutant for Zhou Charter. His temper was long ago, "I don't recognize the emperor's uncle, I just recognize the eldest brother, and I recognize the teacher! Then Hawu, you can be your uncle in front of others. In front of the eldest brother and teacher, you are the son of a bitch!"
Naha Wu is still unconvinced: "Yao Xi, you are a fucking tiger! Of course I recognize the eldest brother! Why are you shouting in front of me?"
"I'm the eldest brother's adjutant!" See more than half of the officials!" Yao Xi is rude.
"You..." Naha Wu still had to argue, but he saw Zhou Charter snoring with his eyes closed. Everyone was still and stood in front of Zhou Charter respectfully.
Obviously, in the eyes of this group of brothers, a royal uncle is no better than last week's adjutant of the charter.
Nahawu no longer dares to make noise.
The crowd calmed down.
Yao Xi hurriedly and carefully came to Zhou Charter and shouted softly, "Brother, brother."
Zhou Charter's snoring stopped abruptly, but his eyes did not open.
Zhou Charter is not asleep, and his brain is running fast.
The gun problem is an extremely serious problem. However, he suddenly realized that there is another problem, which is more serious than firearms. It is directly related to the survival of Zhang Jun and the future of his brothers.
The direct reason for Zhang Jun's serious lack of weapons is that there are too many people. If Zhang Jun is not 10,000, but 4,000 people, everyone has a gun in his hand and earns a fart.
And there are too many people and the team is huge, which is a big taboo of the imperial court!
