"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 247
Zhou Ba successfully got rid of the firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, and no longer has to manage the logistics and play a marginal role.
Chen Ziang also thought of his previous hard work and diligence, and appointed him as the deputy head of the First Banner Regiment, and became Li Lang's deputy.
After all, Zhou Ba is also an old man. Although he was born as a bandit, he was loyal even if he did not leave even in the most difficult time.
Naturally, Chen Ziang would not treat such an old man badly, so he was appointed as the deputy head of the banner.
Chen Ziang also hoped that Zhou Ba could stay by Li Lang's side, learn more, and be able to be alone in the future.
After all, although their Qinghe army has won many battles, but because they are now the thieves in the eyes of the court, except for some peasants and refugees who cannot survive, most scholars dismiss them.
As a result, Chen Ziang and the others have been unable to establish a staff system for a long time. There are many people who charge forward, but there are too few people who can read and write and have an independent view of the overall situation.
Chen Ziang had no choice but to train himself from within. Anyone who could read and write, even those who had only been in a private school for a few days, became the focus of training.
Li Lang is now not only able to be alone, but also studies very hard, so Chen Ziang also hopes that Zhou Ba can make progress with Li Lang.
?Because their army will grow stronger in the future, it is not enough to rely on some big bosses, there must be a large number of generals who understand strategy and strategy.
Of course, this is currently a major shortcoming of their Qinghe army. After all, they were originally organized by a group of common people.
Now, compared with the original appearance of the mob, it has moved a lot towards normalization.
Chen Zi'ang and his officers held an enlarged meeting for a full day, rewarding and promoting a group of people, announcing the plan for reorganizing the army, and at the same time starting the summary meeting of the upper echelons.
On the second day after the meeting, in accordance with the plan for the whole army, officers and soldiers at all levels also formed new troops according to the requirements of the list.
Most of the brothers in the five banner battalions under the First Banner Regiment are soldiers from Gyeonggi Province and Hezhong Province.
And when they joined the army, many of them were recruited in the towns on the march, so when they were incorporated into the army, they were also from the same town or village.
The advantage of this is naturally that it can form combat power in a short period of time. After all, a combat unit is all fellow villagers and they are familiar with each other.
But the disadvantages are also obvious, because it is easy to huddle together to keep warm, forming hills one by one in the army.
This time, Chen Ziang took advantage of the opportunity of reorganizing the army to completely break the original state, and a big reorganization occurred.
Although it will have a certain impact on the troops in a short period of time, weakening the combat effectiveness of the troops.
However, from a long-term perspective, it directly eliminated the mountain-top doctrine in its infancy, avoiding the situation that the tail is too big to drop in time.
Chen Ziang has a high prestige in the army, and officers at all levels have just been promoted to a certain extent, so they all cooperate, so this time the mixed organization has been well implemented.
"I'm not going to the Third Banner Battalion, I'm going to stay here with my fellow countrymen!"
Although most of the soldiers have reported to the new unit as required, there are still some soldiers whose ideological problems have not been resolved and are unwilling to leave their small circle.
After all, people in a small circle are all familiar fellow countrymen, and they can take care of each other.
"I said brother, the Third Banner Battalion and our Fifth Banner Battalion are both in the First Banner Regiment, you can still see them often, why disobey the military order?"
Facing these soldiers who were unwilling to accept the mixed formation, the officers also tried their best to persuade them.
"That's right, they're all brothers, it's the same everywhere."
"I'm not going anywhere anyway, I'm going to stay here!"
Although the saliva of the officers was dry, some stubborn soldiers were unwilling to be separated from their fellow countrymen.
"I told you whether you will go or not. If you don't go, you will be disobeying the military order, but you will be punished with military sticks!"
To put it bluntly, it is just that these soldiers who are unwilling to accept the mixed formation cannot be persuaded. Some officers are also angry and have to threaten them.
"If you don't let me stay with my fellow countrymen, I won't be a soldier!"
After hearing the officer's threat, a prickly head immediately took off his military uniform, angrily said the words of leaving the Qinghe Army.
"We don't do it anymore, let's go home!"
With someone taking the lead, more than 20 soldiers took off their uniforms on their own initiative.
"You want to be deserters?!"
Seeing that these soldiers took off their military uniforms when they disagreed with each other, the officer's expression became ugly.
"We are not deserters, we want to go home." These soldiers justified.
"Put on the clothes for me, otherwise I will be punished as a deserter, but my head will be lost!" The officer threatened viciously.
"Don't scare us, we are not scared!"
These soldiers also crawled out of the dead, and they were full of hostility, and they didn't buy the officer's account at all.
"Come here, tie me up, I will enforce the military law today!"
Seeing his authority being challenged, the officer was also annoyed and decided to make an example of others.
Soldiers like wolves and tigers pounced on them, disarmed all these twenty soldiers, and then knocked them down to the ground.
"Damn it, if you dare to touch us, we will never end with you!"
"Hurry up and let us go! Zhang Baijiang is our fellow countryman!"
Seeing these soldiers who were pinned to the ground and struggling and cursing, the officer also had a gloomy expression.
"Take these deserters and kill them!" The officer was also furious and wanted to show his authority.
Soon, these twenty people were detained not far from their camp and knelt on the ground, and the soldiers in charge of the execution also drew sharp swords.
These brothers didn't expect that their chief really wanted to kill people and gain power. Facing the sharp sword, they panicked.
"Master Baijiang, we were wrong, I was joking just now, don't take it seriously" A timid soldier tried to beg for mercy.
"Now I know it's time to beg for mercy, it's too late!"
This officer was confronted face-to-face just now, challenging his authority, so he was also annoyed, so he showed a sneer, ready to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys!
"Don't beg him! At worst, you'll lose your head and have a scar the size of a bowl! Twenty years later, we'll be a man again!" At this time, some people were still full of dissatisfaction.
"I'll see whether you are stubborn with your mouth or my knife!" The officer waved his hand, ready to order a decisive decision.
"what happened?"
Seeing a circle of people here, Chen Ziang, who was inspecting the work of the whole army, happened to bump into him, and came over with more than a dozen personal guards.
"Luo Hao, a hundred general of the 3,000th regiment of the Fifth Banner Battalion, pays his respects to the general!"
The officer did not expect that General Chen Zi'ang had visited their banner camp, so he hurried over to greet him.
"What's the matter with them?"
Chen Ziang nodded, and asked more than twenty soldiers who were bound and kneeling on the ground.
"General, they disobeyed the military order, refused to accept the reorganization, and even took off their military uniforms to become deserters. I am going to implement the military law and execute these deserters!" The hundred generals replied.
"General, I am wronged. We didn't want to be deserters. It was just angry words. We just didn't want to be separated from our fellow countrymen"
Seeing Chen Ziang's arrival, these ashen-faced soldiers shouted hastily as if they had grasped at straws.
"Did they ever escape from the barracks without permission?" Chen Zi'ang asked the hundred generals.
The hundred generals replied: "That's not true, they just talked about it, and the general's uniform was pulled off."
Chen Ziang nodded, and said, "In this case, they are not deserters, and there is no need to make a decision. Let them live."
"But general, if they are not severely punished and everyone follows the example of disobeying the military order, wouldn't it be a mess?" The hundred generals showed hesitation.
"Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. They will be imprisoned for five days as a warning to others." Chen Ziang thought for a while and ordered.
"General, what kind of punishment is this confinement?"
The general of the hundred was also full of doubts, thinking that Chen Ziang let them go on purpose.
"Confinement is to lock them up alone, and no one is allowed to talk to them, and no one is allowed to visit them" Chen Ziang explained.
"They are all my own brothers. In the future, all brothers who have committed capital crimes must report to me and get my approval. Without my permission, no one is allowed to judge and execute."
