Red Alert 1895

Chapter 612: Various means

During the mass recruitment process in Shandong and Zhili, some people were not idle, and they were all recruiting according to their own means. @@, and these people also have their own network of relationships. For example, some military officers also went to the soldiers of the Manchu green camp.

"You green battalion soldiers, are you interested in fighting foreign devils with Mr. Wang?" an officer asked.

Immediately, some green battalion soldiers lazily said: "My lord, do you Mr. Wang think about us? We green battalion soldiers are probably a bunch of **** in your eyes, don't you value them?"

"Who said? Although you are green battalion soldiers, although you have less training, you still have a basic sense of discipline. Moreover, we are still willing to accept you. You have all been soldiers at any rate, as long as you are willing and there is nothing wrong with you." Hobbies, then we are willing to accept you to come to serve as soldiers. When you come to us, you must abide by military laws and various disciplines. We can give you ten yuan a month as a military salary, which is equivalent to five taels in the past. Silver. Are you willing to serve as our soldiers? We can guarantee that you will be hired first under the same conditions."

The green camp soldiers were quite moved when they heard this, because they actually received only one tael of silver every month, and if they could get five taels of silver now, that would be good. Therefore, the military salary alone is enough to attract them.

The Taiwanese army also hopes to recruit some people from these green battalion soldiers, and then join their new army. Because as the saying goes, there are three catties of nails in a rotten ship. Although these green battalions are unbearable, there are many reasons for this. There are reasons for weapons, military system, tactics and thinking, corruption and so on. This is a multifaceted reason. It's not that these soldiers are bad. If you treat them as ordinary soldiers and put them back into the furnace for training, it will still be helpful. The low combat effectiveness of the green battalion is actually because of the perennial peace, which makes their combat effectiveness weak. This is an inevitable phenomenon. If there is no war all year round, the degradation of the army's combat effectiveness is inevitable. Even the squadrons of later generations are actually in the process of decay, and their combat effectiveness will gradually decline. This has been the practice of all dynasties. The long-term peace has caused the decline of the army, and it cannot be blamed on a certain soldier or even a certain official. Later generations of China have also experienced this process, perennial peace, and insufficient investment in the military economy. The decline of military power has also experienced many times.

However, later generations have another advantage over this era, that is, the level of technology has improved, and the decline in combat effectiveness is not as serious as in ancient times. However, in the long-term peace, the decline of the army's combat effectiveness is inevitable, and no ideology or doctrine can stop this process. However, as long as they can be returned to the furnace for transformation, these people can continue to be rescued after they join the new army. Back then, the troops of the Democratic Party entered the army of our party. Didn't they all become stronger one by one? Even, most of the People's Liberation Army in the later period of our party were captured from the enemy or took refuge for various reasons. This is especially true for Yiye's troops. Therefore, the collective is the greatest basis for influencing individuals. If a bad soldier joins a good army collective, he can become a good soldier. A good soldier will go bad if he joins a bad army. So these green camps are not scary, and Wang Guorui is not worried that they cannot be used. The key is to smash their corrupt collective. Just let them reintegrate into this new group.

And these people, although they participated in the decadent green camp, at any rate the green camp was also a professional army of the Qing Dynasty. A professional full-time army has great advantages over an army composed of ordinary peasants. No matter how little training they have, they have been trained. Especially the sense of discipline. It is even more incomparable to those ordinary farmers who have just put down their hoes. The cost of correcting these green camps is much lower than training a farmer from scratch. During the War of Liberation, our party actually liked the soldiers from the Democratic Party very much, because they had received military training, and once they came here with a little training, they could be used. If you train from a farmer to an army, not only the economic cost, but also the time cost are not low. Therefore, in terms of cost, it is the best way to "poach the wall" directly from the opponent. This method is also innumerable in the commercial struggles of later generations. It is the same reason to train a talent with hard work and be poached in the end.

"However, will those of us from the green camp be looked down upon by your lord Wang? At that time, after we have made meritorious service, will we be able to enjoy the same rewards as others? Especially promotion, those of us from the green camp People, will they be discriminated against?" A younger-looking person asked.

"That's a good question. You can rest assured about this question. We won't discriminate against you soldiers from the green camp. You may not know that the first batch of troops in Taiwan were also from the green camp. Our Lord Wang A large part of the first batch of troops were green battalion troops brought by Mr. Hu Wei. Even Hu Wei, our chief of staff, was once the chief executive of Taiwan’s green battalion. So, you say that we will discriminate against people from the green battalion Is it? You people, who joined our army, are also our brothers. And we people are also a big group, and we will safeguard your interests!"

Hearing that many members of the Taiwanese army are also from the green battalion, this made them completely relieved. Because since everyone can do this, then I have nothing to worry about. The same background can make them unite naturally, so that they can all hug each other for warmth and form a huge faction.

On the other side, other recruiters were saying similar things to the people from the Cao Gang.

"Brothers of the Cao Gang, you are all from the branch of our Tiandihui. Miss Zheng Hong, the chief rudder of our Tiandihui, who is now Mrs. Wang's wife, is also a lieutenant general of our Taiwan army. Yes. And now we are going to expand our army in a large amount, so our Madam Zheng came here specially to hope that you can actively join our Taiwan army. You are all troubled Tiandihui people, and you are all from Tiandihui, so there is nothing wrong with joining us together questionable."

At this time, those officers from the Taiwan Tiandihui also began to recruit people in Caobang. These water gangs are actually the people in charge of water transportation in the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and they are the earliest transport personnel. The Cao Gang is actually the Qing Gang, and both the Qing Gang and Hongmen were born in the Tiandihui. The Taiwan Tiandihui is nominally the head of all the Tiandihui, but in fact it has already split up, and those Hongmen Tiandihui in the mainland don't care about the Tiandihui in Taiwan at all. But now it does not prevent Zheng Hong's subordinates from using this opportunity to get close to them.

"Next, you can join our army. We will definitely have many people to help you. You don't have to worry about your future."

"Okay, my lord, we are willing to join the army!"

Wang Guorui received a report from Li Zhanfeng, the director of the attendant office, in the headquarters in the capital.

"Master Wang, according to the information reported by the Investigation Office of the Basic Construction Bureau of our attendant's office, all major factions in the army are also aggressively expanding their manpower. The green battalion led by Hu Wei mobilized everyone to join in those green battalions of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the past, and mobilized the green battalion The soldiers joined the army and formed gangs. And Li Yuanhong of the marine division was not idle, and he was recruiting people from the new imperial army everywhere. As for the end..." Li Zhanfeng hesitated suddenly.

"Are you saying that Hong'er is not idle either?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Yes, Mrs. Zheng also asks people to recruit people from the Youth Gang in Shandong. Obviously, she doesn't want to let this opportunity go." Li Zhanfeng said.

Wang Guorui sighed and said, "It seems that the mountain-top doctrine is not small!"

At present, Taiwan's military actually has a lot of chauvinism. Don't think that there is no politics in the military. Whenever three people come together, politics is born. Back then, Wang Guorui's army also inherited many hilltops from the beginning~lightnovelpub.net~ especially the original green battalion, headed by Hu Wei. Zheng Hong is the leader of Tiandihui, and Li Yuanhong is the leader of the new army. The navy is a school of its own, but the navy is the "purest".

In fact, strictly speaking, the Taiwanese army and the Manchu Qing army are in the same line, and all kinds of hilltops have also been inherited. Although Wang Guorui could control the grassroots level of the army through the Red Police soldiers, the most senior of these Red Police soldiers were only battalion-level officers, and they were not influential at all to this army of hundreds of thousands. Wang Guorui could only keep the army from rebelling on a large scale, but he couldn't stop the big hills among the officers from taking the opportunity to "support the soldiers and self-respect" to gain benefits. Not to mention that Wang Guorui's army has this problem. Didn't our party's revolutionary army back then also have a lot of hills, and it still exists until the 21st century. This military expansion can be said to be an important channel for a major faction to increase its power. If recruiting from within Taiwan, the background of the soldiers inside Taiwan is not so complicated. The soldiers inside Taiwan are all workers, neither the Green Camp nor the Hongmen Tiandihui, nor the new army of the imperial court. So they have uncomplicated backgrounds and no natural factions.

But this time recruiting troops on the mainland, the major factions took advantage of the opportunity to vigorously develop their manpower. The green battalion of the mainland army, the new army, and the canals in Shandong have a large number of gangs. These are all opportunities for the major mountains to expand their manpower.

"It seems that the top of the mountain is going to be cut." Wang Guorui thought. (to be continued.) u
