Chapter 276: Becoming an Army (I)


When Gao Yao presented the flag, Zhou Shixiang appointed a total of 16 officers with more than 100 households, and now only 9 people remain.

The dead officers included 100 households Ge Zheng, 100 households Lin Zhengxing, Peng Dazhu, Wu Mazi, Zheng Daniu, Zhang Erjiang, a total of 6 people, and another 100 households Li Fuguo was beheaded by Zhou Shixiang for disturbing the morale of the army.

Among the seven people who died, Ge Zheng and Peng Dazhu were old brothers from Daqiao Mountain, Wu Mazi was the Jiangxi battalion soldiers who surrendered in Luoding, Zheng Daniu and Lin Zhengsheng were poor people in Luoding, Zhang Erjiang was the battalion soldiers who were captured in the Battle of Deqing, and Li Fuguo was the commander of the garrison green battalion who surrendered to Gao.

The remaining 9 people are Shao Jiugong, one hundred households in the Xiongwei Camp, and Wang Youxi, one hundred households; Ge Yi, the younger brother of Ge Zheng, tried 100 households in the original Zhenying camp, and tried 100 households Song Erniu; Trap 100 households Tie Yi in the camp, try 100 households Zheng Tiezhu; Jiang He, one hundred households in the Guards Battalion, and Qin Zhisheng, one hundred households in the Hujie Battalion, and Zhao Sihai, one hundred households who were originally in charge of the public treasury army.

At the time of the reorganization of Gaoyao, Zhou Shixiang decided on a five-battalion military system, with a total of 500 soldiers in each battalion, 20 soldiers, the whole battalion, and 35 officers above the small banner.

The total number of troops in the five battalions is 2,600. and with 20 soldiers as a team, the commander of the army is appointed by the small banner; 5 Wu is a team, and the team is being appointed by the general flag; The five teams are a battalion, and the battalion is being run by 100 households.

In addition to the commander, each corps shall have a deputy commander, and the deputy commander shall be appointed by the sergeant; In addition to the team leader, each team has a deputy team leader, and the deputy team is appointed by the small flag; In addition to the battalion leader, each battalion has two deputy battalion leaders, and the deputy battalion is being appointed by 100 households.

The soldiers in the battalion are all battalion soldiers, and those who cut three levels can be appointed as sergeants, and those who cut six levels can be appointed as small flags, and the above official ranks can be promoted to several multiples of the first rank.

All the military systems set by Gao Yao to give the flag were made based on the actual situation of the soldiers at that time, and now the Taiping army has been expanded to 12,000 people, this kind of establishment is obviously no longer suitable, and it is impossible to let one hundred households lead a team of two or three thousand people.

Therefore, Zhou Shixiang must implement all matters related to the formation of the Taiping Army as soon as possible in order to deal with the more fierce war in the future.

In addition to the 9 senior officers at the time of the reorganization of Gaoyao, there were also more than 10 trial 100 households who were promoted from the general banner after the Xinhui War, and most of them were soldiers from the green battalion and poor people who joined the Taiping Army after Luo Ding.

Niu Gensheng is a bit eye-catching in this gang of people, he was the leader of the Han army under Shang Kexi's domain, surrendered after the destruction of Xinhui City, and was forced to lead the banner soldiers who surrendered together as the gunners of the Taiping Army.

Later, because of his outstanding performance in the Qing army's siege warfare, Zhou Shixiang was promoted to the chief flag officer, and at the time of the decisive battle, Niu Gensheng's department used the Qing army's east and west forts to kill and injure a large number of Qing troops, and made great contributions to the Taiping army's breakthrough of the Qing army's defense line.

After the war, Niu Gensheng was promoted by Zhou Shixiang again to the artillery battalion test hundred households, responsible for cooperating with Qi Hao to manage the artillery battalion, and was mainly responsible for the daily training of the artillery battalion.

As a person who surrendered from the Han Army, in the face of so many senior officers of the Taiping Army, Niu Gensheng couldn't sit still, and moved his butt from time to time, as if there were nails on the chair.

His move made Qi Hao on the side a little funny, raised his hand to hold him, whispered a few words to him, and after hearing this, Niu Gensheng smiled a little embarrassedly, no longer cautious just now, and finally sat up straight.

"We are now considered to be strong soldiers, we have also taken the territory of Xiangshan, and the Qing demon is also afraid that we dare not come over, so the brothers should have been promoted to make a fortune.

The general soldier is a thousand households, you come to do it, the deputy general, the general or something, and the brothers also catch one by one, so that it is not in vain that our brothers will follow Xiucai with their heads on the same day, and you will not go down the mountain."

Since Ge Zheng's death, Ge Yi has become the representative of the remaining brothers in Daqiao Mountain, and Zhao Sihai, who is on par with his qualifications, has not had too many military exploits because he has been serving as the hundred households of the public treasury army, and he had the idea of surrendering when guarding Guifeng Mountain that day, so although Zhou Shixiang now let him take over the position of the injured Jiang and the hundred households of the guard battalion, he is more and more cautious, or low-key, so his influence is not as good as Ge Yi.

Qin Zhisheng's qualifications are much stronger than Ge Yi's bandit background, he worked with Hu Quan in Li Chengdong's army, and Ge Wu and Ge Liu were just he and Hu Quan who joined forces to suppress and pull in the gang, so he spoke on behalf of the remaining brothers of Daqiao Mountain better than Ge Yi.

However, this person is kind-hearted, and he is more low-key than Zhao Sihai, so it is up to Ge Yi to express his position.

"When Qianhu led us down the mountain last year, he said that he would take our brothers to become big officials and make a fortune, and now we finally have a situation, and we don't dare to be any deputy generals or generals after becoming the army, so let's give a guerrilla cadre assembly."

Jiang Fan, who was born in Daqiao Mountain, was a fisherman fishing on the Pearl River on the edge of Guangzhou, and after the Qing army occupied Guangzhou, his parents and brothers were killed, and he escaped because of his good water nature.

After running out, he didn't dare to stay in Guangzhou anymore, so he ran around in nearby prefectures and counties, and then threw himself into Hu Quan's village for his livelihood, and then followed Hu Boss and Zhou Shixiang down the mountain to attack Luoding City.

After more than half a year, it can be regarded as a sacrifice to follow Zhou Shi, and he has made a lot of contributions, and after the death of Lin Zhengsheng and Li Fuguo, he was raised from the general flag to try the shortage of 100 households.

Jiang Fan and Ge Yi are very close on weekdays, because they are both drunkards, and there is not much difference in age, and they are both open-minded and bold by nature, so they are very good.

Ge Yi stood up to express his position, and he naturally followed.

With the two of them shouting like this, everyone in the hall naturally shouted, which roughly meant that they should have formed an army a long time ago, and the brothers should have been promoted a long time ago.

Promoting officials and making a fortune is a promise that Zhou Shiji made to a group of brothers in Daqiao Mountain, and it is also a temptation, there is no way, he can't use any righteousness to encourage the bandits to go down the mountain with him to do "revolution", so he can only use the most realistic official fortune to incite them.

Since Luo Ding set up the camp, the people of Daqiao Mountain can be said to be for the Taiping Army, but also for him Zhou Shixiang blood and sweat, after the death of Ge Zheng and Peng Dazhu, now there are only 6 remaining Daqiao Mountain brothers, every time I think of this, Zhou Shixiang is very grateful, especially the requirements made to him when Ge Zheng died, but also let him remember his commitment to that day.

Since the promise has been made, it must be fulfilled, otherwise it is a deception, even if he has completely controlled the Taiping Army now, Zhou Shixiang will not make a broken promise.

He's going to keep his promise.

"Brother Hu and Brother Jiang's words are the purpose of my summons today, my two registered Chaozhou soldiers appointed by the governor of Guangzhou are going to officially form our Taiping Army, and at the same time, they are also promoting the brothers, and the promotion is also to make everyone rich.

However, let's talk about the army first, and let's talk about the wealth next. ”oshow7 t1706231537:
