Zuo Mingnan moved, knelt down again, looked into Zhao Qiang's eyes and said in a deep voice: "The last general made three mistakes!" As soon as he knelt down, Qian Lin also knelt down, but he lowered his head and did not dare to Zhao Qiang.
【】
"What three!" Zhao forced the two of them, but did not reach out to help them up.
Zuo Mingnan did not hesitate, and immediately blurted out: "The first reason is that the reconnaissance is unclear, which leads to a strong attack by the subordinates and the loss of troops and generals; the second reason is that the enemy made a mistake, which allowed the Rakshasa reinforcements to enter the city; the third reason is that the generals cannot be restrained, causing the generals to move unexpectedly and be in battle.
Escape shakes the morale of the army. If the army does not arrive in time, the entire army of the general will be annihilated. These three items are all caused by the general's ability. Please ask the commander to remove the post of the thousand households of the general's unit, and the general will never complain!
"
Upon hearing that Zuo Mingnan had dismissed Qianhu, Qian Lin quickly followed suit and said: "As the deputy commander of the regiment, the general should share the responsibility for the defeat with Zuo Qianhu. Please let the commander-in-chief also dismiss the post of Qianhu.
, I am willing to use my sinful body to atone for my sins!"
The attitude of Zuo Qian and the two men made Zhao Qiang nodded slightly, and he was quite satisfied with their attitude. He raised his hands to signal them to get up: "Your troops carried out an siege on the day they arrived at Dujigensk, but because of the Rakshasa artillery
Sharp, the siege of the city was blocked, and more than 300 troops were lost. Logically speaking, if you can effectively conquer the city, in order to avoid excessive casualties of the troops, you should stop the attack, block the Rakshasa army from leaving the city and prevent reinforcements from entering the city, and send people to generals.
I will report the battle situation and wait for my reinforcements to arrive before we discuss it again. But you are trying to show off your talents, attacking again and again, and you have defeated nearly a thousand of my soldiers in vain. In the final analysis, you have the intention to despise the enemy, otherwise how could you take such a bad strategy?
.”
"The commander-in-chief is saying that after successive victories, the generals and others have indeed started to look down on the Rakshasa people."
A hint of pain suddenly appeared on Zuo Mingnan's face. Thinking of the soldiers who died outside Dujigensk, he couldn't help but regret his impulsive recklessness. Qian Lin also regretted it extremely, regretting that if he had stopped Zuo Qianhu, he would not have done it.
The Second Infantry Regiment suffered a disastrous defeat, but it was too late to say anything. Besides, at that time, I also wanted to capture Dujigensk as soon as possible to bring glory to the Second Infantry Regiment and myself. Now that the battle is defeated, can I
Who is to blame?
"The strength of our Guan Ning Army is limited. We only have over 10,000 troops today. If we lose a few brigades like Dujigensik in every battle, is there any place for our Guan Ning Army to have a foothold in this world? Can you all follow us?
Will I rush into the pass and kill Kangxi to avenge the prince?"
Zhao Qiang glanced at the listening generals, sighed and returned to his seat, waving for Zuo Qian and Zuo Qian to sit down, and continued: "My Guan Ning army is not afraid of hard and bloody battles, and must fight them, but how to fight them is difficult."
You have to use your brain, not just relying on blood and bravery. If you can reduce the number of people killed, you must not fill the blood hole at the bottom in vain. Those soldiers, like us, are the offspring of father and mother.
Although most of them are from foreign races, once they become members of our Guan Ning army, they are all our brothers. The general must treat these soldiers as his sons, so that we can keep our Guan Ning army united, and only in this way can we work together to break the gold.
, create a great situation.”
Within a few months, Zhao Qiang's original idea of letting young men of all ethnic groups serve as cannon fodder changed. He began to plan to train these non-Han soldiers, let them integrate into the large group of Guan Ning Army, and then use their military exploits and recognition to
To completely assimilate them, making them forget their origins and only know that they are a member of the Guan Ning Army, instead of constantly remembering that they were once a member of a certain tribe or how they were forcibly kidnapped into the army.
For these soldiers to completely identify with Guan Ning's army, in addition to being inspired by military merit and wealth, they also need to have a kind of faith and culture. Zhao Qiang has always remembered that an army without faith will never become a strong army, so Zhao Qiang must be a strong army.
My own Guan Ning Army has established a belief to let the soldiers know who they are fighting for and what they are fighting for! But assimilation cannot be completed in a day or two, nor can the transformation be successful with one or two methods.
There is still a long road ahead, and it is useless for Zhao Qiang to be anxious. He has to eat his food one bite at a time, and he cannot think of becoming a superman overnight. What he can do now is to make the officers and soldiers work together, even if they cannot break it.
The inherent inferiority and inferiority of the feudal army also required soldiers to trust and love their superiors.
"I can't teach you how to command operations. You are all veterans. In terms of experience, you are no worse than a commander like me. I will never interfere with your command. But there is one thing you must remember. You can win a battle, but you can win a battle."
After this is over, you must know how you were defeated, otherwise I will not be lenient, have you written it down?"
All the generals said in unison: "The last general has recorded it!"
Zhao Qiang added: "After the meeting, you go back and hold a meeting with the officers below. Let them talk more and summarize. Tell them all the problems encountered in the battle, and then find ways to solve them. If they can't solve them, make a summary report.
Master Liu, Master Liu will help you solve the problem together. In short, as long as the suggestions are helpful for our Guan Ning Army to win the war, no matter who said it, they must be adopted and implemented. We must not afford to offend anyone. You know
History is made by ordinary people."
"History is made by ordinary people." The generals don't understand this very well. According to their understanding, they go back and gather all their subordinates together and let everyone give their opinions. Whoever speaks well will report it. I can see that all the generals are paying attention.
Listen, Zhao Qiang nodded with satisfaction. These people under him are all rough men, and only one or two are literate. Therefore, they cannot be expected to have too high awareness. Therefore, this matter cannot be arranged and implemented separately, otherwise these generals will definitely
It was almost time to recite the sutra. Zhao Qiang began to talk about the focus of today, which was the reorganization. This matter was something he thought about for a few days before deciding to implement it immediately, because next year's war against the Qing Dynasty and the Russian army
It’s different. One is a small fight. The Russians only dispatched thousands of musketeers and hundreds of auxiliary troops in the first battle against the sky. However, when fighting against the Qing army, they would face attacks from tens of millions of Qing troops at every turn.
The establishment of the Ning Army must also be improved and the number of soldiers must be expanded to meet the needs of large-scale battles. When the owner of the body was in Wu Sangui Army, he had witnessed tens of thousands of people with Wang Pingfan. When the battle started, dozens of people from the north and the south were involved.
There are so many people here, and there is no effective command system, this battle cannot be fought at all. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the troops and improve the command system during the six-month rest period.
"The Dingyuan battle is over, and the Rakshasa people have been defeated by us, but there are still many battles. After the beginning of spring, our Guan Ning army will go south to fight the Qing army. Therefore, in order to adapt to the war against the Qing Dynasty next year, my commander has considered
After that, it was decided to reorganize the existing wing."
Zhao Qiang bluntly announced that he would start a war with the Qing army after the Spring Festival. This news caused a commotion among the generals. They lowered their heads and discussed in low voices with their left and right. Since they fought in the north, they have not always looked forward to going south to rescue those comrades who were still enslaved by the Tatars.
Now that I have received accurate information from the commander-in-chief, how can I not be excited? Moreover, every reorganization means that the strength of the Guan Ning Army has risen to a higher level. Therefore, as a soldier, I doubt that the generals who are reorganizing the army are the most yearning and enthusiastic.
of.
When Liu De saw the commotion among the officers, he coughed lightly. The generals stopped talking and all sat upright, looking eagerly at Zhao Qiang, waiting to hear the commander's reorganization plan. Wei Ji was also listening with his ears pricked up.
Although he has become an official, the Guan Ning army has become stronger, and he, as a civilian official, is warm and stable.
Zhao Qiang glanced at the generals and said calmly: "In view of the strength of the Qing army, I decided to establish the cavalry division, forward division, guard division and rear guard division of our Guan Ning Army."
"Four divisions!"
As soon as Zhao Qiang finished speaking, the generals shouted again, and they were suddenly expanded into four divisions. They couldn't help but be surprised, but they were also confused about this. Now Guan Ning's army is only organized into one division. Now what is going on?
With the establishment of four divisions, where will the expansion of troops come from?
"The Qing army is different from the Rakshasa people. They are not like the Rakshasa people. They have few soldiers and horses. A battle with a thousand men is considered a big battle. You have all fought against the Qing army. You know both sides in a battle.
It is not unusual to dispatch tens of thousands of people, so for the needs of command and combat, I decided to expand the army to four divisions to meet the needs of the war." From the eyes of his subordinates, Zhao Qiang understood their doubts.
, smiled slightly and turned to ask Wei Ji:
"Wei Ji, how many young men can you spare for the army now?"
Wei Ji didn't expect Zhao Qiang to ask him this question. He was unprepared. He was stunned for a moment and then said hesitantly: "Come back to the commander-in-chief, we don't have many people under our rule. Except for the necessary manpower from various places and the civilian husbands who built the city of Yask, we have low-level jobs."
We can only give the commander-in-chief four thousand more people, and if there are more, the humble position will really be unable to do so."
"Four thousand people?" Zhao Qiang said "hmm" and said, "That's quite a few." He turned to Liu De and said, "Liu De, how many prisoners did we capture in places like Dujigensk and Wudisk?"
Liu De did not hesitate, and replied as soon as he turned his head: "Counting the Buryat Mongols, there are less than a thousand."
"Four thousand plus one thousand, that's five thousand. Well, Guo Fei!"
Zhao Qiang calculated the accounts like a shopkeeper and asked Guo Fei: "How many Han military camps have been built?"
Guo Fei was in charge of the affairs of the Han Army Camp, so he was relatively familiar with the situation. After hearing this, he replied: "A total of five Han Army Camps were built before and after, but two of them have been requisitioned by the Third Infantry Regiment, and now only three are in training.
There is a Han military camp with a strength of 1,800 people."
After hearing Guo Fei's numbers, Zhao Qiang chuckled, clapped his fingers and said: "So there are 6,800 people, plus a few hundred people from Wu Si's teaching team. If we squeeze in from various places, we can't make up to 8,000 people."
question."
After making some mental calculations, Zhao Qiang explained the reorganization method to his subordinates:
"The 1st Cavalry Regiment will be organized into another brigade. Like the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, it is organized into three brigades. In addition, the army captured a lot of horses, so I decided to create a new 3rd Cavalry Regiment, which is also composed of three brigades.
, the three cavalry regiments are combined into our Guanning Cavalry Division."
"The security brigades of Ergun, Dingyuan, and Yask will be expanded into security brigades from now on, and a rear guard division will be established together with the four security brigades of Udisk, Tugursk, Dujigensk, and Shouyi City.
