Chapter 113 Cavalry Brigade
Author: Use your soul to aim
After chatting with Boren, Zhang Zongxian summoned the officers to discuss the treatment and equipment of the newly recruited cavalry, and how to train these cavalry.
In the end, it was decided to give the newly recruited cavalry a monthly salary of two taels of silver, and other treatment was the same as that of the original soldiers. In addition to two flintlocks, one long and one short, the equipment also included lances and sabers. The armor was brave.
Iron helmet, cloth face armor and lobster arm armor
This cavalry is used to conquer the grassland, so in training, it is necessary to train both line infantry subjects and cavalry combat subjects. The training content will be improved based on the results of actual combat.
In terms of cavalry establishment, the largest unit is the brigade. A brigade is divided into three combat regiments and a teaching regiment. The teaching regiment is responsible for training new recruits and replenishing soldiers for the combat regiment.
The combat regiment consists of three cavalry battalions and an artillery company equipped with five-pound cannons. One artillery company is equipped with six five-pound cannons. The brigade also has a direct artillery battalion equipped with twelve ten-pound cannons and a supply battalion.
A cavalry battalion has 350 people, and a cavalry regiment has 1,200 people. The entire cavalry brigade will have more than 5,000 people at full strength.
Zhang Zongxian's order to Boren was to train a full cavalry brigade before autumn, and to equip it with more officers.
After the academy's enrollment ends, some of the outer disciples will transfer to the military academy. Most of them will be assigned to the cavalry brigade after short-term training.
Soldiers can be Tatars, but officers must graduate from military academies. If you want to be an officer, you must go to a military academies for further studies.
After determining the cavalry establishment, Zhang Zongxian clarified the treatment of the newly added battalion commanders, regiment commanders, and brigade commanders.
The salary of the deputy battalion commander is 25 taels per month
The salary of a battalion commander is 30 taels per month
Regiment staff officer's treatment is equivalent to that of company commander
The regimental chief of staff is treated as the battalion commander
The salary of the deputy leader is 35 taels per month
The leader's salary is 40 taels per month
The brigade staff officer's treatment is equivalent to that of a battalion commander
The brigade chief of staff is treated as the regimental commander
The salary of deputy brigade commander is 45 taels per month
The salary of a brigade commander is 50 taels per month
In the future, cadres in the platoon and above will also be rewarded with Taiping shares.
After completing the establishment of the cavalry brigade, Zhang Zongxian told Boren that if there was any provocation from the border troops, no matter how old the officer was, they would fight back resolutely. Don't be afraid of causing trouble. If anything happens, he will be responsible for it.
After coming out of Qingshuiying, Zhang Zongxian began his return journey. He passed by Shenmu County on the way and checked whether the magistrate of Shenmu County was seriously fighting the drought. After seeing the waterwheel that had been erected, Zhang Zongxian left with peace of mind.
After returning to the institution, Zhang Zongxian did not come to take a rest, so Xiaoxue took him to the cultivation room, opened the light-blocking curtains, and saw that the cultivation soil was covered with mushrooms.
Thanks to the farming channel and agricultural experts, Zhang Zongxian excitedly picked up Xiaoxue and spun him around. Now with the supplement of mushrooms, he could at least save some food.
Then people from the Agricultural College were asked to take over, and special funds were allocated to the Agricultural College to expand the bacteria shed and promote it throughout the state.
After the Agricultural College expands its training, we will launch a sales campaign so that nearby people can come and take a look.
After returning to the administration and resting for a day, Zhang Zongxian went to the Yellow River to inspect the production of waterwheels. At this time, no less than twenty waterwheels had been erected by the Yellow River, constantly lifting the water from the Yellow River into the canals.
Canals transport water to fields.
After checking the water truck, we continued westward along the canal. All the people's land along the way had been watered. Even on the original land, it was much easier for the people to carry water than before.
Until he walked to a village and saw two groups of people gathering together as if they were about to fight. Zhang Zongxian immediately sent someone to see what was going on.
The people who checked soon reported that two villages were fighting for water. At this time, the leaders of the two villages were also negotiating.
Zhang Zongxian asked people to first call Li Zheng from the two villages for questioning. It turned out that the water canal ran from Wangjia Village first. At this time, the land in Wangjia Village had been watered, and it was time for Liujia Village to water it. However, the two villages were feuding, and they had a dispute before.
Fighting over water and fighting in groups.
Now the Wangjia Village passed their village through the canal, so they blocked the canal to prevent the people of Liujia Village from using water. Seeing that the temperature was getting higher and higher, the seedlings would dry up if they were not watered. The people of Liujia Village gathered their young people and came to grab them.
water.
After understanding the cause of the matter, Zhang Zongxian asked the government servant to go directly to the place where the two villages were confronting each other. He shouted to the people in the two villages:
"Master Zhizhou said, how can we only focus on personal vendettas during the severe drought? You and I should disperse as soon as possible, and the people in Wangjia Village must not block the water canals in the future, otherwise the government will not be lenient."
The people do not fight against the officials. When the people in the government said this, the people in Liujia Village began to cheer, while the people in Wangjia Village lowered their heads and remained silent. At this time, several young people from Wangjia Village shouted unconvinced:
"This canal was built by our Wangjia Village, and the people in Liujia Village have to pay for it."
After saying this, the people of Wangjia Village immediately agreed. The people of Liujia Village cursed the people of Wangjia Village for being shameless. The two villages became more and more excited as they scolded each other. Without Li Zheng's intervention, a fight was about to begin.
At this time, Zhang Zongxian took out a firecracker and fired it into the sky. It immediately shocked everyone present.
"Do you still care about the law of the king when gathering people to fight? You have to charge money for the canal built in Wangjia Village, right? The water tanker that pumps water is built by the government. Do I want to collect money from you?"
At this time, someone else from Wangjia Village said:
"Then Liujiacun killed people from our village, so we can't just let it go."
People from Liujia Village also said:
"Your Wangjia Village has also killed people from our village, so we can't just let it go."
As he said this, the two villages began to yell at each other again.
Zhang Zongxian fired another shot into the sky to stop the scolding between the two villages.
"Since someone has been killed, I have to take care of it. If you kill someone, you have to pay with your life. How many people have been killed in your two villages, you have to hand over as many murderers as you want. It doesn't matter if you don't hand them over. If you don't hand them over, you are harboring the murderer."
,
Then you two villages will all be used as military households. There is no need to fight here, go fight the Tatars on the side wall."
In an instant, no one dared to speak anymore. They were really classified as military households. Then all children and grandchildren would have to become military households. They would not be able to escape the status. Military households were much worse off than ordinary people. Not only did they have to pay for food, but they also had to bring their own equipment.
Go to war.
I really can’t shed tears until I see the coffin. However, direct conflicts between villages are common in this village. We have to find a way, otherwise there will still be fights after the government officials leave today.
Thinking of the village BA from his previous life, he immediately came up with a solution.
Zhang Zongxian called the village elders and clan elders from the two villages and announced that if there was any fighting in the future, both of their villages would be turned into military households.
In addition, regarding the conflict between the two villages, Zhang Zongxian asked the two villages to hold a Cuju competition under the witness of the government.
The losing party must apologize to the other party and compensate the other party for fifty shi of food. If he is not convinced, then the competition continues until one party is convinced.
The people from the two villages discussed each other and agreed to hold a Cuju competition. Zhang Zongxian asked the two families to go back first and hold the competition on the Dragon Boat Festival. The government would prepare the venue by then.
Solving the conflict between the two villages also opened up Zhang Zongxian's thinking. It is better to make this matter a rule. In the future, if there are conflicts in each village that the government cannot mediate, let them play games to vent their dissatisfaction.
