"Didn't I say that if there is a shortage of coal, we will send barges to transport it?" Ma Qianzhu said impatiently at the meeting, "With a carrying capacity of 1,500 tons, even if it is brought back from Vietnam, it will be enough to burn for several months, right?
"
"It's easy for you to say, Vietnam also has a court."
"Let's go to Li Dynasty later."
"Being like a monkey and getting a crown -" Xi Yazhou expressed contempt for this, "I'd rather send an expeditionary force to destroy it."
"Don't say that, the monkey is still quite ruthless at this time. It's a bit tiring for us to do it with a small number of people." Yu Eshui said, "For places where stable political institutions have been established, we can't do what the Europeans did in black Africa.
So messing around, the only choice is to trade with them."
"That must be unequal trade -" Xi Yazhou suddenly became full of nationalistic passion, "where there are cannons, there is trade."
"Okay, okay, let's not go too far," Ma Qianxu interrupted Xi Yazhou's lyricism, "Now let me talk about the army."
After the traversers won the first counter-encirclement and suppression campaign and then annihilated the Gou family, they opened up a situation in Lingao and won a peaceful construction period. However, they should clearly realize that as the days for them to land are getting longer and longer,
The actions are getting bigger and bigger, and the eyes of all parties will eventually pay attention to the time-travelers. Whether it is pirates or the Ming Dynasty, it is expected that they will take action against the time-travelers in the near future. Therefore, he requested the committee and all time-travelers:
Establish a new army as soon as possible and form a complete training-combat system.
From a mid- to long-term perspective, the backbone of the time-travelers' combat force must be a new type of army dominated by the aboriginal people of this time and space. Whether it is called a "new army" or an "indigenous army", its core idea is the same. The time-travelers are in
The human resources are extremely weak, and even if they serve as administrative officials and technical personnel, they are insufficient, let alone serve as soldiers to fight in the war.
The existing army with the time travelers as its main force must be disbanded and reorganized into a new army. Currently, the number of personnel who have served for a long time in the military group has exceeded 10% of the total number of time travellers. These people who have mastered modern technology and ideas are
Responsible for a large number of patrols, vigilance and small-scale operations, this is a serious waste of human resources.
It is expected that the newly formed army - Ma Qianzhu proposed to call it the "New Army" instead of the "indigenous army" to distinguish it from the lower-level army in the future - the soldiers and non-commissioned officers are all Ming Dynasty people.
With the expansion of the army, the future officer corps will also be dominated by people from the Ming Dynasty.
The soldiers of the new army will mainly come from farmers and the old army, especially ordinary military households under the garrison system. They will serve as the main non-commissioned officers after training. The officers of the new army will mainly be time travelers in the early stage, and they will gradually be supplemented by military academy students, so they should
Establish a rebel military school as soon as possible. The initial students of the military school will be mainly local children and educated soldiers. In the early stage, the military school can consider co-organizing the school with the administrative officer school and technician school. If this condition is not available, the training team can also be considered to train officers.
become.
The New Army implements a commander-in-chief system, but soldier committees are organized at all levels. The soldier committee has the right to object to the officer's orders other than combat. If the chief officer insists on his opinion, he should obey it. However, the soldier committee has the power to submit orders to the superior chief officer and even the travelers.
The military department appealed. Soldiers' commissars may not be executed, even on the line of fire, before review by the military department. Abuse of soldiers will be severely punished.
The New Army implements a professional soldier system. Both officers and soldiers enjoy employee benefits, preferential housing and private land, and free use of new varieties of crops. In fact, the source of manpower for the New Army is the manpower saved by new crops.
"This, I would like to express my opinion." He Ming said, "I don't know the situation of the Ming army. But the army has not fought for a long time and often has many bad habits. In 1979, when we fought in Vietnam, the army also had many problems. The Ming Dynasty army
Is the quality of soldiers in a typical old-style army good enough, and won’t it attract a lot of soldiers?”
"You were born in the People's Liberation Army," Zhang Bolin interjected, "Have you forgotten the invincible political work? The liberation fighters back then were not all from the old army like gmd, they were also transformed."
"Can you do political work?" He Ming expressed doubts about Zhang Bolin's words.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it." Zhang Bolin was full of confidence.
Ma Qianzhu said: "What He Ming said makes sense. We don't have much time and we don't have much time to change their minds. We need to do more screening of the personnel of the old army."
"We sent our own people to serve as grassroots officers and made a good start. Once the three major disciplines and eight points of attention are tightened, the atmosphere will naturally be corrected." Xi Yazhou recalled the process of training militiamen in Yanchang Village, "... chief officer
If you act upright and set an example in everything, the little bosses below will not dare to mess around. As the old saying goes? One good thing suppresses a hundred evil things."
"I'm afraid it's unreliable to recruit soldiers from military households." Yu Eshui said, "Military households in the late Ming Dynasty were not much different from ordinary people. They were basically tenants of officers, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled."
"But do they suffer so much and have deep hatred?" Ma Qianxu said, "As far as Lingao is concerned, military households suffer much more than ordinary people. The ordinary people here who work as tenant farmers and long-term workers have a much easier life than they do."
"Recruit soldiers from the Li people. They are all in the mountains and can form mountain infantry." Wei Aiwen began to promote his idea of Li people troops - recently he often went to Li area for trade and had established a certain relationship with the locals.
Basics, for this reason he consumed a lot of the lighter he brought privately.
"It is better to recruit Miao people than to recruit Li people." Yu Eshui reminded, "The Li people have deep ethnic conflicts with the Han people here. We can only resolve them slowly and cannot easily arm them. We have good guys in our hands.
You will be more courageous. If anything happens to this Li armed force, we will be like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror."
The Miao people in Hainan were left behind when the Miao army from Guangxi who came to Hainan with the Ming army to fight during the Li people's uprising was disbanded. Because they arrived too late, they could only settle in the mountains, mostly for the Li people's cave owners and the Han people.
The landowners worked as long-term workers or tenants, and some simply made a living by hunting. Life was more difficult than that of the Li people. In the history of Hainan, the relationship between the Miao people and the Han people was relatively good.
“Are there any Miao people here?”
"Yes, yes," Wei Aiwen said quickly, "The master of Zhudong in Nandong said that there is a Miao village not far from their place. There are about a hundred families. If necessary, we can go there once and explore the way."
"We can consider recruiting Li and Miao people." Ma Qianxu thought for a while, and it was still manageable to recruit only a few dozen people to form a reconnaissance team.
"Next, let me talk about the issue of military control." Ma Qianzhu continued.
The army is a tool for time-travelers, and the tool cannot backfire on its owner. Therefore, the current independent operation method of the military department must be changed. Once the new army is established, a new military system must be put on the agenda. And when the new army exceeds 500 people and there are more people than time-travelers,
, the new army must also be controlled in an effective way. Therefore, he made the following suggestions.
At the beginning of the establishment of the new army, the original members of the military team should be preserved as trainers and monitors of the new army. The establishment of the new army requires officers, so the scale was halved and retained at 20 people as the internal guard force, with modern equipment.
weapons, and another 30 people joined the New Army as officers and established a training camp.
Once the system of the New Army is completed, the mission of the armed forces directly controlled by the Ministry of Military Affairs will end. Except for the internal security forces, all others will be included in the New Army's sequence. All military operations thereafter will be carried out by the New Army.
The new army mainly uses weapons and cold weapons from the 19th century. In the early stage, it was decided to use front-loading rifled rifles and spears with Mini bullets. The ratio of spears and spears was tentatively set at 1:1. The size of the first batch of new troops was 500 people.
A battalion is equipped with an artillery company equipped with 9 smoothbore cannons. If new weapons are needed in battle, an application can be made to the committee and the internal defense forces will issue them.
The General Staff will be established under the Military Commission, with two systems: the Army and the Navy. The General Staff has the authority to command the Navy and Army. However, the General Staff has no authority to command the Internal Guard. The Military Commission is responsible for the training of the Internal Guard.
Supplies, but without jurisdiction and command, are directly controlled by the Executive Committee.
The military cannot be used in internal conflicts. The main tasks of the internal security forces are to maintain order, protect government agencies and store important supplies. They are also responsible for the control of modern weapons.
An independent military intelligence department was established under the General Staff Headquarters to be responsible for military intelligence collection and investigation activities.
Military logistics will not be established as an independent department for the time being. The Executive Committee will entrust various professional departments to supply it, and the specific allocation will be controlled by the Planning Commission.
The militia program that has been implemented in Damei Village and Yanchang Village must continue to be implemented, not only in these two villages, but also in Bairen Commune. In the early days, a basic militia system was adopted, with one from every three cadres being sent down to each village.
Carry out rotation training for the main militia. The militia's weapons are currently mainly captured cold weapons, old-style muskets, rifles and standard 6-pound smoothbore cannons (used for village defense). Once they have a certain industrial capacity, they can be given to the main militia.
Equipped with a Mini Rifle.
The Crossing Group has no formal maritime combat force, only fishing boats used for patrols - limited by fuel and accessories, the use of these modern fishing boats must be controlled as much as possible. In view of the fact that pirates in this era are the most powerful combat force in the southeast region, and currently
It seems difficult to cooperate with it. A naval base should be built in Bopu in the short term to complete the fortress transformation. The army should support the construction of naval fortress artillery and station a defense force at the naval base. The navy should establish a fort at the Lingaojiao seaport to protect the port and
Dock construction.
Zhang Bolin blinked when he heard this, meaning what are you trying to do? Why don't you humble yourself and come to me to ask for a cannon?
After the establishment of the Navy, the original fishery production group was abolished and merged into the Navy. Fishery production is still one of the main tasks of the Navy at this stage. Therefore, the Navy is under the dual leadership of the General Staff and the Committee of Agriculture, and the Bobu Fish Processing Plant continues to be under the Committee of Agriculture.
All Navy personnel are recruited and trained by the Army, which will then be formed into an independent system.
In order to unify maritime power in the early stage and avoid multi-headed management, a system of "everything floating on the sea belongs to the navy" is implemented. Whether it is a ship brought from another time and space or a ship seized and purchased locally, regardless of its current use, all
