Chapter 189

"The admiral of the Yangtze River Navy leads the fifth battalion, and has jurisdiction over the Yuezhou Town Navy Commander, the Hanyang Town Navy Commander, the Guazhou Town Navy Commander, the Hukou Town Navy Commander, and the Langshui Town Navy Commander

There are five general soldiers including the general soldier, and each of the five general soldiers is responsible for the four battalions of Zhenbiao."

At the Chongming Pier, Zhu Yihai came up with the long-planned plan to split up the Zhoushan Navy. Zhou Hezhi was granted the title of Pinglupp and the admiral of the Yangtze River Navy, and was organized into twenty-five battalions with five generals. Each battalion had 500 people.

The actual number of the entire army is 12,500. If 4,500 auxiliary troops are added, the total strength will be 17,000.

But this time Huang Binqing led his troops to the north, and except for those who stayed in Zhoushan and moved to Ningbo, he brought less than 20,000 people.

If this were given to Zhou Hezhi seventeen thousand, he would become a mere admiral.

Without waiting for Huang Binqing to object, Zhu Yihai announced the establishment plan for the admiral of the Zhejiang Navy. The admiral also has five generals, five battalions, and four battalions each for the five generals. They have jurisdiction over Fushan, Wusong, Jinshan, and Haining.

, Chief of the Navy of Hangzhou Five Towns.

From the defense zone settings of the Yangtze River Navy and Zhejiang Navy, it can be seen that the Yangtze River Navy is actually responsible for the front line of the Yangtze River, from Huguang to Jiangxi, from Anhui to Chongming, and the defense of the Changli River.

As for the Zhejiang Navy, in fact, its jurisdiction only covers Susong and western Zhejiang from the Yangtze River Estuary to Hangzhou Bay.

However, the front line of the Yangtze River is basically still occupied by the Qing army. Therefore, Zhu Yihai's towns are actually only assigned with establishment positions. They cannot actually garrison them. For the time being, they can only garrison Langshan. Therefore, the 25th Battalion is only a preliminary

It only has a fully-established state, but in fact it is currently half-established, with three admiral battalions, two standard battalions for each of the other five generals, and no other co-organized guerrilla battalions.

The same goes for Huang Binqing's Zhejiang Navy, which has temporarily organized thirteen battalions with 8,500 men.

However, in the name of integrating the navy and improving combat effectiveness, Zhu Yihai reorganized the Yuying Navy and the Yangtze and Zhejiang Navy, eliminating some of the old and weak of the Zhoushan Navy.

The Zhoushan Navy and the Yuying Navy were reorganized to form four naval units: the Yangtze River Navy, the Zhejiang Navy, the Yuying Navy's inland river division, and the Yuying Navy's overseas navy.

Four naval fleets, each with 6,500 soldiers, a total of 72 battalions, three admirals, and 20 general soldiers.

After the integration of the first pass, the Zhoushan Navy had nearly 20,000 troops. One-third of them were eliminated first, and the rest were dispersed into four naval divisions. Huang Binqing only commanded one of the Zhejiang-direct naval divisions, and then commanded thirteen battalions and five

Zhu Yihai had to send two general soldiers there, and he even had to send deputy admirals to discuss joining the army. Three deputy generals were sent there, and three deputy generals under him also had to be sent there.

More than half of the company's soldiers are no longer the old troops.

This is no longer mixing sand, but a direct change of blood.

Huang Binqing was shaking with anger, but Zhu Yihai said that this was a unified battle force, updating and adding new warships, equipment, and elite troops to the Zhejiang Navy.

He also said that in the future, the soldiers' pay, money and food for the thirteen battalions of the Zhejiang Navy will be distributed according to the standards of the Yuying Navy, and will be distributed by the Yuying Food Station, and Huang Binqing does not need to worry about it.

There are a total of 8,840 auxiliary soldiers of the Zhejiang Navy. One battalion needs 3,000 taels of silver per month, and the entire army needs 40,000 taels of silver per month. Even if they are temporarily paid half the salary, it will cost 20,000 taels of silver per month.

, that’s 240,000 taels a year, not counting warship acquisition, maintenance, armor equipment, artillery ammunition consumption, etc.

Zhu Yihai had everything covered, which was a good thing, but Huang Binqing was not happy at all.

As long as it is reorganized, he will completely lose control of the navy. Even if Zhu Yihai does not move his three bidding battalions, there will be less than 2,000 people in the bidding battalion. What can these people accomplish?

What's more, Zhu Yihai will definitely still move to raise the bid for the third battalion.

Huang Binqing regretted this method of cutting flesh one after another.

But Zhou Hezhi, the deputy general, now completely turned to Zhu Yihai. Zhu Yihai said that he would establish a separate Yangtze River Navy. He immediately accepted the order and said that he would reorganize with the Yuying Navy. He had no objection.

Half of our own people went first, and with these few troops left, it was too late to regret it now.

At this time, he finally understood that when he accepted the edict and led his troops to leave Zhoushan, he had actually completely fallen into Zhu Yihai's trap and had no power to fight back.

Reluctance, anger and other emotions flashed through his heart, but in the end he could only accept the reality and let Zhu Yihai be at his mercy.

At first, I ignored how high Zhu Yihai was, but now I can't reach him anymore.

Do you regret it, definitely.

Who would have thought that King Yiyang, who had the support of all his ministers, was defeated so quickly, and King Lu, who was just raising the flag alone in Taizhou, could become famous so quickly.

He could only say that he had made a mistake, just as he had taken a fancy to King Fu and ran to support him.

The only thing he feels some comfort about now is that he sent his daughter to the prison harem before, and finally there is still a little foothold.

After receiving the decree, Zhou Hezhi immediately requested that the headquarters be stationed in Hong Kong and immediately began to undergo reorganization.

Seeing his impatience, Huang Binqing finally began to regret that he should not have gone around recruiting these pirates. After all, they were all thieves.

But the situation was over, and when Zhu Yihai looked over, he had no choice but to call his troops into Hong Kong to accept reorganization.

The atmosphere at the pier was harmonious for a while.

Zhu Yihai held Huang Binqing in his left hand and Zhou Hezhi in his right hand, and they returned to Chongming City together.

The banquet catches the wind.

Nearly 20,000 horses and horses from Zhoushan also arrived at the port one after another, and Yu Dafu also came to reward them with money, food, wine and meat.

Each person was rewarded with two taels of silver, meat and wine.

At the same time, after the reorganization was announced, all soldiers from Zhoushan who were hired were given five taels of Anjia silver and three additional months of pay. When the edict was issued, cheers rang out from the dock.

Immediately after Yu Dafu, he announced a number of appointments, such as promotion and promotion of soldiers in Zhoushan. In short, they were well-paid. Especially in the reorganization of the navy, there were now four admirals and four deputy admirals, and they were consulted to join the army.

, Duan Supervisor Army, four each, then twenty general soldiers, twenty deputy general soldiers, guerrillas, capital divisions, garrison, etc. are also newly added in large numbers.

This means that many officers will be promoted this time, even by more than one level.

For many soldiers from Zhoushan, why are they fighting?

Some of them were young men who were forced to do nothing, some were hungry people in troubled times who had no choice but to join the army to make a living, and some were pirates who were recruited for peace. Only a few joined the army with the true ideal of saving the world and serving the country.

Getting promoted and making a fortune is a very simple idea, and it is also the idea of ​​most people.

Now that there are rewards and promotions, who wouldn't want to do that?

Everyone immediately thought of the goodness of the Prison State and shouted long live the Prison State.

Even though some people may be eliminated, it was announced that they would receive severance pay and two months' salary supplement. These people who were laid off were originally old and weak, and they are very satisfied to be able to go home or be resettled in Chongming and other places.

Only Yu Dafu felt a little bit hurt, and he was throwing away a lot of money.

One soldier is worth about 10 taels of silver, and 20,000 soldiers are worth 200,000 taels. In addition to the rewards for the officers, it becomes more than 200,000 taels of silver.

He murmured to himself, "One Tu Guobao and Li Yuchun are not enough. I have to remind the supervisor to save some money."

On the other side, Xu Shiqi and Shen Chenquan were admonishing Zhu Yihai, believing that Huang Binqing's department could not be trusted. Now that the Yuying navy and Huang's department were combined, this was a hidden danger and would instead harm the navy's combat effectiveness.

However, Zhu Yihai had long wanted to annex Huang Binqing. If Huang Binqing acted like a warlord with him, he would act like a warlord against him and directly annex his people.

Now Zhu Yihai's navy has indeed become more complex. There are Zhang Mingzhen's Shipu Naval Battalion brought from Zhejiang, Wang Zhiren's Zhejiang Ding Haihai Battalion, and even Wu Kai's Haimen Battalion, as well as some volunteers and sailors added in western Zhejiang. , as well as Taihu's righteous masters and even water thieves. After that, they accepted many Huang Fei, Wu Zhikui's navy, and then Shen Tingyang, Jing Benche's, and Fujian's Zheng family.

It's simply a hodgepodge. After repeated reorganizations, the Navy already has a lot of people.

If the reorganization is completed this time, there will be 26,000 troops divided into four fleets. However, Zhu Yihai still believes that the navy can be regarded as a rare and useful weapon in the current confrontation with the Qing army, so it must be strengthened and developed. .

Fortunately, every time the army is expanded, the troops are broken up and used instead of simply being retained in the form of organic units. Constant integration and elimination, especially the careful use of officers, make the navy still relatively reliable today. of.

This time, Huang Binqing's 20,000 troops were to be swallowed up, but after layers of integration, only about 10,000 men would be left in the navy, and one-third of them would be converted into auxiliary troops in the water camp.

In the future, some Huang Binqing soldiers may be slowly transferred to land camps. After constant replacement, Huang Binqing's troops will account for less and less in the navy.

And Zhu Yihai deliberately set up a Yangtze River Navy in addition to the Zhejiang Navy, which further divided Huang Binqing's right to speak.

"Next, we will have to rely more on the strength of the navy in the south of the Yangtze River to compete with the Tatars. The four naval armies only have 20,000 people, which is not much. Most of the other land camps and cavalry in the Northern Expedition will go south to eastern Zhejiang. Or go west to Anhui, Jiangxi or even Huguang and other places, and what is left behind will also be transferred to mountainous areas, Taihu and other places for development."

The navy has a great advantage in Jiangnan, especially against the Qing army, which currently lacks a navy.

"What if Huang Binqing refuses to cooperate with the reorganization? Zhou Hezhi is a pirate, so is he reliable?" they raised doubts.

"Let's take it step by step. Isn't it going very smoothly now? If Huang Binqing really insists on toasting and forfeiting wine, we are not afraid. The Tatars are not afraid, but are they afraid of Huang Binqing who has already been put on the chopping board? As for that Zhou Hezhi is a pirate, so this is nothing."

He even wants to hire thieves, but is he still afraid of pirates?

At the reception banquet, Huang Binqing drank to drown his sorrows and got himself very drunk.

Finally, his daughter Huang Ji came to pick him up to rest. After drinking several large glasses of sobering tea, Huang Binqing fell asleep and when he woke up, his daughter was still watching over him.

A rare heart-to-heart talk between father and daughter.

A conversation with his daughter gave Huang Binqing a better understanding of Lu Jianguo.

"Is Your Highness really the master of ZTE?"

"Your Highness will definitely be able to revive it."

Huang Binqing was silent. In times of trouble, all the generals thought about was how to preserve their strength. Only with soldiers would they have status. But now, Lu Jianguo actually has stronger authority than Chongzhen. This was something that could not be believed before, but this time

The meeting forced him to admit it.

Facing a strong and powerful supervisor like Lu Jianguo, he had only two choices, surrender or rebel.

The daughter's words reminded her father that he no longer had the ability to resist. Since he had already surrendered, he might as well just serve with peace of mind and restore the ZTE in the future without losing his position as a hero.

"Tell my father the good news. My daughter is pregnant. The doctor said it may be a son."

Huang Binqing was stunned, and then immediately realized that Lu Jianguo had no children, so wouldn't this be the eldest son of the Jianguo? His nephew might become the eldest son, prince, or even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future?

"My daughter begs her father to protect us."

Huang Binqing was silent for a moment, feeling complicated.
