Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 53 Military Reorganization

Compared with the reorganization of the Tiannan Army, it will be much more troublesome. Although Wufeng intends to reorganize the Tiannan Army composed of as many as three legions for his own use, he had to give up after inspecting the three incomplete legions that had successively arrived in Nanfeng and Perth City with Liang Chongxin. The original plan. The total strength of the three legions is less than 230,000, and many divisions are short of personnel. The number is not enough to explain the problem, but judging from the existing morale, training status and mental state of these troops, the three legions Among them, there are not many that can be called a qualified army. Except for two divisions in the Tiannan First Army Corps that can barely be seen, the performance of the other two legions is even more disappointing for Wufeng. Let Wufeng make up his mind to disarm.

The five divisions of Tiannan First Army Corps were reorganized and compressed into two divisions, while the second and third army regiments were reorganized into one division each, and the remaining 140,000 people were selected as five regiments to guard the five prefectures. Except for the use of troops, the remaining soldiers were sent back to their hometowns with severance pay. After the reorganization and selection, all the officers above the regiment level of the four divisions were sent to the Northwest Military Academy for a one-year training at the first time, and a large number of Northwest Military Academy officers who had come from the Northwest in accordance with Wufeng's order Trainees were also added to the newly formed four divisions after reorganization to quickly increase combat effectiveness and allow the four divisions to start training as soon as possible.

On June 28th in the Gregorian calendar in the mainland, the four divisions that completed the initial reorganization were named by Wufeng as the Tanghe Empire's Western Frontier Protectorate in the Indian Kingdom. Li Wufeng's order was jointly issued by the Military Affairs Department of the Western Frontier Protectorate and the Joint Military Staff Meeting, appointing Hu Yanqiu, the commander of the Western Region United Army, to concurrently serve as the head of the army dispatched to the Kingdom of India, and She Nei to serve as the deputy head of the army and the chief of staff of the army. Indian Kingdom. At the same time, it was also announced that the commander of the Second Quick Response Division of the Schöne Tengger Corps would be dismissed, and Gao Ang, the deputy commander of the Fifth Division of the Nanjie Locke Corps, would take over.

As early as the end of May, the Anyuan Taiping Army completely collapsed under the attack of the Northwest Army from the east and west. , there is no suspense in this battle, more than 20,000 of the most loyal Taiping believers all died in battle, and Liang Chongxin and Fielding also instructed the commanding troops of both sides not to accommodate the diehard members of the Taiping Army. It will eradicate future troubles.

However, the Taiping Army stationed in Kuimen Valley in the west was very cooperative. Under the introduction of Anyuan's surrender to the Taiping Army, the Kuimenyu defenders readily accepted the terms of surrender. It calmed down, and among them, the continuous flow of food into Anyuan played a vital role in stabilizing people's hearts. Under the condition of sufficient food guarantee, the riots of refugees and hungry people were quickly quelled, and the Northwest Army also showed a strong image of iron fist, requiring refugees to return to their respective places of residence within a week, otherwise they will all be treated as peace. Teach the rioters to be dealt with, and send them to the depths of the Tengger Grassland.

But after all, Anyuan is the place where the Taiping Sect has the deepest influence. In order to prevent the Taiping Sect’s repeated attitude and mood swings, a few days after accepting the Taiping Army’s surrender, the middle and high-level officers of the Northwest Army unanimously agreed to let all surrender to the Taiping Army Immediately set off to Qingyang in the northwest, guided by the second division of Nanjie Locke.

The Taiping Army who surrendered in the First Battle of Pinglu and the more than 20,000 Taiping Army who surrendered after the fall of Qinghe have also arrived in Qingyang in batches for reorganization. The number of Taiping troops waiting to be reorganized near Qingyang has exceeded 70,000, and they were then reorganized into two divisions. Among the remaining personnel, except for a few who have been inspected by the internal affairs department and are indeed repentant and have the opportunity to return home to work in agriculture, the other 20,000 Many people have all migrated to the Volcanic Settlement in Central North Luzon for land reclamation, and they have clearly informed that if they need to return home, they must wait until the situation in the Central Plains is stable. The intermarriage of the residents of the Ridge nationality, and the local conquest of those who settle in the volcano will also be given preferential policies and certain material rewards to encourage them.

It is also very intentional to arrange more than 20,000 Taiping soldiers in the volcano Jiwufeng located between Weito and Shuangdui. Due to the transfer of a large number of troops, the army in the entire Northern Luzon has dropped to only three In the two prefectures of Northern Luzon, the Andeans have an absolute advantage. Even the Coopers and Pulics far outnumber the Tangs. Although Wufeng is not worried that these two ethnic groups will compete with The Andeans colluded, but Frederick never gave up his sovereignty over Northern Luzon. Wufeng has always been very afraid of this powerful enemy. He hopes to use more stable measures to make preliminary preparations. The Huoshanji area is sparsely populated, but the location is extremely important, and the land is fertile. Whether it is growing food or cash crops, it is very important. It is suitable, and it is a unique move to let the Taiping Army with a certain military foundation descend to reclaim the wasteland here. Once the Luzon people really move north, these tens of thousands of paramilitary troops can be urgently recruited at any time to form a reserve army. And after a period of time, the ideological inclinations of these Taiping soldiers can gradually fade. Of course, this still requires necessary guidance and enlightenment.

Although the division formed by the Taiping Army has not yet been named, Wufeng's original intention was to deploy these two divisions into the territory of the Indian Kingdom as dispatched troops according to Cui Wenxiu's plan. However, in view of the rapid situation in Tiannan Wufeng has temporarily shelved the arrangements for these two divisions, hoping to wait until the situation in the south calms down before making a decision. The attachment of the Tiannan Army has brought more choices for Wufeng, and the entire Tiannan and Burma, especially Burma, also need a reorganized army to garrison, although judging from the current situation, there are still many people around this area. There is not much security threat, but considering the situation in the Sanjiang area in the east and its own strategy in the south in the future, after careful consideration, Wufeng made a suggestion to the Joint Chiefs of Military Affairs of the Western Xinjiang Governor's Office, suggesting that the two reorganized The Taiping Army division group and the Burmese Army that also needed to be reorganized formed the Southwest Army.

In view of the fact that the Burmese Army was almost exhausted after several months of bitter fighting with the original Tiannan Army, and the battle between the Tiannan First Army and the Burmese Army was very fierce. Xie Changyang, who is the acting head of the First Army, will All the grievances in Kansai were vented on the Burmese army. Although Wenna led the Burmese army to resist tenaciously, the huge difference in strength still made it difficult for Wenna’s Burmese army. After several **** battles, the Burmese army suffered heavy losses. The four multi-division regiments were reduced to two division regiments. In addition, Tiannan adopted a strict blockade policy on the Burmese land, which caused serious logistics problems for the Burmese army, and the situation was extremely difficult. In the end, the Burmese army, which had always been high in morale, also began to desert in large numbers. More than half of the soldiers in the regiment either died in battle or fled. If it were not for the timely southward movement of the Northwest Army, it would be difficult for the Burmese army with less than one division and lack of food and weapons to last for more than half a month. The original words of Fengfu Jin after seeing Wufeng show how miserable the current situation of the Burmese army is.

What surprised Wufeng was that his proposal to appoint Wen Na as the commander of the newly formed Southwest Army Corps was collectively rejected by the Military Staff Joint Conference. In his eyes, a soldier who can betray his master at any time is shameful. Although the situation was special at the time, as a soldier, Wenna first attached himself to the King of Burma, and after Lang Yongquan controlled Burma, he joined the Lang family, and then turned back to the Lang family. He also took refuge in the Northwest. This repeated style really makes it hard to believe his character and conduct.

Facing the strong opposition from his subordinates, Wufeng had to make a compromise in order not to intensify the conflicts among his subordinates after repeatedly explaining to no avail~IndoMTL.com~ At Ling Tianfang's proposal, the head of the Southwest Legion was transferred from the Northwest Mu Lige, the commander of the third division of the army, and Wenna served as the deputy commander of the Southwest Army. In addition to the two divisions of the Taiping army who were divided into the first and second divisions, one division of the Burmese army was awarded After supplementing, it became the third division of the Southwest Army. Wen Na's eldest son, Wen Te, served as the division commander, and the leader personally went to Nanfeng to express his allegiance to Wufeng, the Mao, Shahe, Gaoyue and some of the people in Tiannan. The Tiannan recruits formed the fourth division of the Southwest Army Corps, and there is still a fifth division that is missing and will not be formed for the time being.

Two slender figures were cast on the city wall by the afterglow of the setting sun. It was already 9 o'clock in the evening, but the sky was still bright, and the golden clouds seemed to become brighter. This is the weather called Huoshaoyun by the locals It is a spectacle, the surging clouds are illuminated golden by the sunlight, like a golden-armored giant from the heavens, reclining on the west horizon, and the moon has already revealed its face at this time, which is a leisurely and comfortable southern scenery.

This is probably the southernmost tip of his territory, Wufeng thought silently, less than a hundred miles to the south is the border, crossing the border, is the Principality of Sulawesi among the countries of the Indochina Peninsula Alliance , a small inland principality with only more than 200,000 people. Looking far away from Wufeng, the slightly undulating hills look a little blurry in the sky, and the dark green depths are all virgin forests that have never been developed. The road from Burma to the Principality of Sulawesi is just a difficult road. car trail.

The middle-aged man who followed Wufeng was naturally Wen Na, the Burmese tiger who accompanied Wufeng on inspection. At this time, he felt a little uneasy. Ever since he swore allegiance to Wufeng, although the new Li The adults are very polite and affectionate towards him, but the sensitive Wen Na can still see their distrust from the eyes of other generals in the military.
