Lord of the House

(The first one, ask for a red ticket)

On the 25th, Zhao Qinmin returned to Jiangning with newly married Yaner's Lin Jingzhong, Sun Wenpei and his wife, Sun Wenbing and others. Zhao Hu led the prison island soldiers with him; Qin Chengzu arrived in Chongzhou quietly at dusk.

He worked hand in hand with Fu Qinghe to rescue Su Mei and Xiaoman, and rescued thirty robbed boys on Changshan Island. Qingjiangpu met Qin Chengzu and Zhou Pu, and worked together to rescue Cao Ziang and Siniangzi. He returned to Shanglinli and took advantage of the situation in Jiangning. Since then, he has persuaded the forces of the Taihu Water Village, helped the Xisha Island, and rose to fame by going north to King Qin. He supported the troops to advance into Shandong, relieved the danger of the Xihe Association, and returned to the Tuguang Temple in Chongzhou... At this time, Lin Fu can already be said to be a hero.

From Changshan Island Xiaokou to Jiyun Club, to Jiyun Wuwei, to Yudao Wuzu, to Xisha Island Township Camp, to Jiangdong Zuojun... Although it is said that Lin Fu is sitting on the elite of Jiangdong Zuojun, he still Many combat powers are fragmented, lack effective integration, and have not formed a complete and effective system.

At the same time of lack of efficiency, not only is it not conducive to cohesion of combat power, but also makes logistics supply quite confusing.

After solving the fundamental problem of Chongzhou's foothold—Han Zai came alone, and even harbored deep hostility to Wu Meijiu, it was impossible to break the layout of this side in Chongzhou in a short period of time—the most important thing at the moment It is to integrate the Jiangdong Left Army and all affiliated forces to form a simple and effective system to operate.

In addition, an important issue that needs to be urgently resolved is: how to maintain the huge supplies needed by the Jiangdong Left Army?

Qin Chengzu, Fu Qinghe, Cao Ziang, Lin Mengde, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Zhou Pu, Wu Qi, Ning Zechen, Zhao Qingshan, Ao Canghai, Ge Cunxin, Ge Cunxiong, Hu Zhiyong, Hu Zhicheng and other important people gathered in Chongzhou. It is necessary to focus on several core issues that will determine the future development of the Jiangdong Left Army.

************

In addition to the 400 soldiers who stayed in Jinhai under the control of Sun Shangwang and the 200 soldiers who went to Jiangning under the control of Zhao Hu, there are still more than 800 military soldiers in Jiyun and Xisha Island in the five-battalion system of the Jiangdong Left Army. Elites, more than 200 elites from Changshan Island and more than 1,500 elites who were sent to Xisha Island to recuperate in mid-to-late February.

In Chongzhou, the total number of elite soldiers Lin Fu could integrate to serve as the main soldier of the left army was close to 6,000.

Lin Fu finally decided to keep the five battalions in Chongzhou.

The Xunbao Battalion was set up as a cavalry battalion, consisting of 600 cavalry soldiers, 800 horses, and 200 auxiliary soldiers, with Zhou Pu as the battalion commander and stationed in Chongzhou.

During the four battles of King Qin, the generals of Zhongzhou Fengli, headed by Ning Zechen, were the most outstanding and the most heroic in killing the enemy. With Ning Zechen as the battalion commander, stationed in Guanyin Beach.

Chongcheng Infantry Battalion was set up, with 800 soldiers and four outposts, with Zhou Tong as the battalion commander, and stationed in Zilang Mountain in Chongzhou.

The first battalion and the second battalion of the Jinghai Battalion were set up as the standing navy, and the warships were formally finalized. The three categories of Jinhai-class, Jiyun-class, and Loach-class were set as the main sea-going combat ships. Small and medium-sized inland watercraft such as warships, large-winged ships, vehicles and ships are auxiliary warships. Each battalion is composed of one Jinhai-class warship, three Jiyun-class warships, sea loach ships and several auxiliary warships of various types, with 800 soldiers and 400 auxiliary soldiers. The first battalion is commanded by Zhao Qingshan. , Ge Cunxiong is the deputy, stationed at Guanyin Beach; the second battalion Ge Cunxin is the battalion commander, Dai Sun Wenyao is the deputy, stationed at the Nanya Pier of Zilang Mountain.

Zhou Pu, Ning Zechen, Ao Canghai, Zhao Qingshan, and Ge Cunxin were all rewarded for their military exploits and were awarded the title of Yunqiwei, Xiaoqiwei or Yuqiwei. Formal military attaché.

In addition, Lin Fu also secretly set up Changshan Camp on Changshan Island, with Qin Chengzu as the battalion commander and Changshan Island elites as the backbone, selecting elites from Xisha Island to complement the three sentinel formations, and two additional sentinel auxiliary soldiers, which were compiled into Some of the warships continued to operate under the name of Tan Zong, the East Sea Fox on Changshan Island.

In addition to the 4,400 elite soldiers of the 5th battalion, there are more than 4,400 elite soldiers and 1,400 auxiliary soldiers, all recruited from the grass-roots congregation of the Xihe Association and the people of the brave, and nearly 1,500 experienced The veterans who fought hard were discharged from the army and settled in Chongzhou or Xisha Island.

No matter how elite an army is, there will inevitably be a large number of soldiers who are war-weary and war-fearing.

As an excellent general, we must inspire the courageous spirit of the generals, and we must curb war-weariness and fear of war from breeding in the army. Sometimes this is the existence of two sides of one body, and it should not be simply attributed to greed for life and fear of death.

Lin Bie thought about how he resolutely broke away from the secular life in his previous life, but when he said it, he couldn't suppress the boredom that rose from the bottom of his heart.

There are many excellent soldiers, they are not pure killing machines. The war-weariness that grows in their hearts is, in the final analysis, tiredness and spontaneous thinking. Perhaps after a period of time, the martial arts in their bones will become more profound and pure.

The military needs Zhang Chi have a way, but also cut expenses. Lin Fu authorized some generals to return to the local area, and allowed them to join the village camp or participate in local affairs. To achieve the goal of integrating the soldiers into the people.

There are two permanent garrison battalions on Xisha Island, and there are more than 2,000 soldiers and auxiliary soldiers in total. Except for the training work of the People's Courage, there will be no additional village battalions. This arrangement also saves more manpower and materials. Put into production and construction.

In addition, there is a women's battalion, consisting of three hundred healthy women, headed by Sun Wenwan, Sun Jingtang's concubine Zhao Hongyu, Zhao Hongyu; a pro-guard battalion, compiling a sentry horse-step elite, with Ao Canghai as the battalion commander, Chen Enze and Hu Qiaoguan also officially enlisted in the army. Deputy Sentinel - Hu Qiaozhong was obsessed with the Shanghai ship and asked to go to Jinghai No. 1 Water Battalion to become a Deputy Sentinel.

In addition to the generals of the battalions, Lin Fu also appointed Cao Zi'ang as the military envoy, who has the power to supervise the army, and is responsible for checking the morality of the entire army and assisting Lin Fu in handling military affairs; Wu Qi is the general post, responsible for news scouts and other matters ; Fu Qinghe is the chief instructor, responsible for the whole army's governance and training and the training of the villagers and civilians; Sun Jingtang is the general affairs, responsible for assisting Lin Fu to deal with trivial affairs in the army.

So far, Lin Shui has integrated the main combat power at hand into a relatively complete system for unified scheduling, with a total of more than 6,500 main soldiers and auxiliary soldiers.

****************

Since the Jiangdong Zuo Army belongs to the township army system, the money for soldiers and armors and even the camping expenses need to be self-funded. Chongzhou County is designated as the source of salary for the Jiangdong Zuo Army. reward.

To maintain a troop with more than 6,500 main soldiers, more than 6,500 auxiliary soldiers, almost completely self-funded troops and even camping, the requirements for logistical supplies are extremely harsh, not to mention that the Jiangdong Zuo Army has cavalry. Camp, foot camp, water camp, the complexity is increasing geometrically.

Lin Fude was awarded the Jinghai Metropolitan Envoy, commanding the Jiangdong Zuoying Township Army. Although he was restrained, he was no longer a subordinate to the Jiangdong Envoy Division. He had the right to set up the Jinghai Metropolitan Envoy Yamen in Chongzhou and recruit them. Officials and assistants assist military affairs.

Lin Fu appointed Lin Mengde, Hu Zhiyong, Sun Jingxuan and others as the officials and officials in the yamen. Supplies and Xisha Islanders' colony and ordnance building matters.

Cao Zi'ang, Wu Qi, Fu Qinghe, Sun Jingtang and others stayed in Chongzhou with Lin Fu to act as military affairs.

Jiyun Club was controlled by Lin Mengde, and it also secretly controlled Chongzhou civil affairs; Jinhai Jinwei Island was also controlled by Cao Ziang, and secretly controlled Chongzhou personnel and military affairs. military system.

Each has its own department, each performs its own duties, and what happens, can find a specific person in charge, instead of having to pile it up on Lin Fu's desk regardless of priorities, making his head bigger.

Relatively speaking, although managing the army is the top priority, it is an easy thing to do. After all, a preliminary military attache system has been formed, and everything can be traced. Although Lin Mengde had nearly 400,000 taels of silver in his hands, the 400,000 taels of silver were just a drop in the bucket and far from enough for what was to be accomplished.

In addition to the Jinghai No. 1 and No. 2 water camps, Jiyun Society will also set up a formal merchant fleet headed by Sun Wenbing, and integrate all the excess shipping capacity into the merchant fleet, temporarily responsible for the transportation from Jiangning to Chongzhou. After the delivery of the third batch of sea-going ships, we will try to officially open the route to Jinhai from the north. When the third batch of sea-going ships with a total capacity of 10,000 stone is delivered, we will also pay Longjiang Shipyard 30,000 taels for shipbuilding. silver.

Even if the people of Xisha Island do not need to provide additional relief, the relief for work is enough to solve the livelihood of the people, but the construction of farms and fields, the accumulation of fertile fields, the purchase of animal power, the construction of water conservancy facilities, the construction of roads, and the construction of surrounding floors are all possible. Long-term continuous investment is required.

In the next period of time, in addition to increasing investment in Xisha Island and reclaiming wasteland through the formation of collective farms, the most important investment is the construction of various factories.

In the early stage, in order to resettle the refugees, build enclosures and large enclosures, the island only had a large scale to borrow soil and burn bricks. However, in order to support the logistics of the Jiangdong Zuo Army and the people's livelihood on Xisha Island, in addition to borrowing soil and burning bricks, Iron and iron work, ordnance manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, weaving, shipbuilding, etc. are all basic workshop operations that require urgent large-scale investment.

Especially in shipbuilding, in order to fight against the East Sea bandits, fight against the extravagant families, and have the opportunity to fight side by side with Li Zhuo in two or three years, attack Liaodong from the sea, and copy the back roads of the East Captives, the Jiangdong Zuo Army must ensure a strong surface combat capability. . It is impossible to simply repair sea ships and build small and medium warships, all of which depend on the Longjiang Shipyard. In Chongzhou or Xisha Island, a dock and a shipyard must be built immediately.

Not only limited to armour, but also arrows, combat equipment, warships, and farms, the consumption of iron products is a lot - the biggest consumption of the war in the world can be said to be concentrated on iron tools.

The level of iron-making in the world is higher than expected. For example, the iron-making workshop affiliated to the Jiangning Ministry of Industry, produces nearly one million kilograms of wrought iron and poured steel every year.

Lin Fu and Lin Mengde have also roughly estimated that to maintain the armament level of the Jiangdong Left Army from falling~www.wuxiaspot.com~ a minimum of 200,000 kilograms of raw, wrought iron and steel are needed every year, and the level of equipment is similar to The amount of iron used by the army is almost proportional.

Jiangdong Left Army soldiers and armor must be self-financed, and factories such as iron smelting and iron work and various ordnance repairs must also be built with large sums of money; even at this time, it is necessary to establish storage of iron sand, coal, and other materials. In order to avoid the coming of troubled times, the supply of materials will be cut off.

A strong army needs to have excellent generals, and the generals need to have the spirit of martial arts, but it must also be seen that almost any strong army is piled up with silver.

The ancients used to say that "the soldiers are not expensive, but the elites", but it is not that they do not want more elite soldiers to be better, but that the regime with farming civilization as the main body simply cannot support a large team of elite soldiers.

Lin Mengde, Cao Zi'ang, Hu Zhiyong, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang and others have been planning these things these days. There is no shortage of manpower, and even these factories need to be built to accommodate the surplus labor. Two hundred thousand taels of silver came out for preparations.

The Guanyintan Wailou and the dock can be used as a permanent garrison fortress, but in Chongzhou, no matter where the new city will be built in the future, Lin Fu will build a permanent military fortress for the garrison at the foot of Zilang Mountain. use.

Unlike temporary camps, permanent military fortresses have no less defensive requirements than ordinary cities, but they are smaller in scale, and their construction costs are naturally astonishingly high.

Lin Fuzheng entrusted an old worker to do this work, at least 60,000 to 70,000 taels of silver would be enough.

As soon as these items of silver were deducted, Lin Mengde was left with 100,000 cash to supply the Jiangdong Zuo Army. Even if the Jiangdong Zuo Army's armor, warships, and horses do not need to be replenished for the time being, 100,000 taels of silver will be enough for the Jiangdong Zuo Army's daily expenses for half a year.
