The 1st Cavalry Regiment has less than 600 men, and its Mongolian brigade in Bagan lost an entire brigade. The Malone Division of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment has three brigades. When fighting Russian reinforcements in Dujigensk, Malone's troops were not damaged.
There are too many manpower, which can be said to be full, so the two regiments together have 2,100 people. Now that the third cavalry regiment is newly established, it will be necessary to recruit another 1,500 cavalry out of thin air, and then
The 1st Cavalry Regiment will be supplemented into three brigades. In this calculation, the newly formed cavalry division will have 4,500 men and 4,500 horses each.
In terms of war horses, since more than 700 horses of the Buryat Mongols and more than 300 horses of the Cossacks in the city were captured in Dujigensk, there is no need to worry about the shortage of horses. However, these soldiers, especially those who are good at riding,
However, there is a huge gap in sergeants. This is what Zhao Qiang planned. In addition to using all the Buryats who can ride horses, he will also select a group of brave warriors from each army to use the six months of rest.
Periodic equestrian training does not require them to become a qualified cavalry immediately, but also requires them to become a qualified mounted infantry. In addition to charging, the advantage of the cavalry is mobility. Zhao Qiang's requirement for the cavalry was to maneuver quickly and use speed to
Defeat the enemy, drag down the enemy.
Expanding and focusing on the construction of cavalry is a top priority that must be carried out together with the construction of firearms troops. Both are indispensable. Before they can produce post-production smoothbore firearms, the Guanning Army must not rely solely on guns with low firing rates and low power.
Front-mounted firecrackers troops are like you can't put eggs in a basket. Moreover, the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners of the Qing Army are mostly cavalry. They simply use infantry firecrackers phalanx to fight the enemy. Facing the overwhelming cavalry offensive, the infantry phalanx
The odds of winning are only 50-50, and the risks are extremely high. Therefore, Zhao Qiang must have a strong cavalry in hand, so that he can eliminate potential dangers in time, contain the enemy, deter the enemy, protect his own infantry, and ultimately ensure the battle.
Victory. The establishment of a cavalry division is only the first step. In the future, Zhao Qiang plans to form more than ten cavalry divisions. Only in this way can he cope with the war against the Qing Dynasty, the war against Russia, and the war against Mongolia.
Soldiers are also divided into grades. Infantry and cavalry are naturally incomparable, especially cavalry generals and infantry generals. Comparing infantry and cavalry is like having fame and not having fame. The two are not the same.
It was just a different name, so as soon as the establishment of the cavalry division came out, everyone became jealous. He Manchuan, Guo Fei and others turned away in their hearts. What He thought was that he was now a member of the Third Infantry Regiment.
However, it would be better if he could be transferred to the Qianhu of the cavalry regiment. Guo Fei was thinking that although the commander had told him that the future development of the sergeant would have many benefits, it would not be as satisfying as commanding the cavalry to charge.
, so I thought about how to ask the commander-in-chief to entrust him with the errands of a cavalry regiment, and leave the sergeant's affairs to others. I don't know a lot of Chinese characters, so it is more suitable for me to lead troops in war.
Qi Zhuang, Wu Fengqiu, and Bagan are the only generals of the cavalry regiment here, so they are not worried that they will suddenly change from cavalry to infantry, but they are thinking about the newly formed cavalry division commander.
Who will it fall into? Wu Fengqiu and Ba Gen didn't dare to think about the position of division leader. Looking at everyone here, except for Qi Zhuang who is qualified, everyone else is a bit immature. Qi Zhuang himself also feels that
I'm afraid that the commander-in-chief will let himself take on the heavy burden of the cavalry division, but before the answer is revealed, he is still a little drumming, and it is impossible not to have ups and downs in his heart. Grifsky brought a translator over, and every time the commander-in-chief said something, the translator
They all whispered to him, but unlike everyone else, he was very calm and had a completely objective attitude, because he knew that this cavalry division had nothing to do with him, even though he was a cavalryman.
Grifsky's abacus had been made long ago. He and his men would only serve Guan Ning's army for three years. At the end of the three years, they would return to their hometown with rewards and stolen wealth, so for military positions,
He doesn't care about high or low. What he cares about is when the next battle will be and what good things his opponent has for him to plunder.
All the generals were thinking about the cavalry division, but no one thought about the rearguard division, because just from the name, they felt that the rearguard division really didn't have much to do, and it was formed by some security brigades. In this way,
It will definitely not be the rearguard division's turn to charge into the battle. It cannot kill the enemy in formation, so how can it earn military merits? Therefore, the generals are indifferent to the rearguard division, and they all believe that the rearguard division is probably the main force in cleaning the battlefield and transporting baggage.
, if the rearguard division is left alone, it would be very interesting even if it were given to a division commander.
Zuo Mingnan and Qian Lin didn't dare to think about anything. They just thought that the commander-in-chief would allow them to lead a team. Whether it was a cavalry division, a rearguard division, or a forward division, it didn't matter which division it was.
, as long as you can still lead your troops to kill the enemy, especially the Tatars, even if you take another hundred military sticks, it's worth it.
"After the establishment of the Cavalry Division, the division commander was Lord Wanhu. The former First Infantry Regiment Qianhu Qi Zhuang was promoted to the post of Wanhu in the Cavalry Division. The subordinate First Cavalry Regiment was captained by Deputy Qianhu Wu Fengqiu.
Taking over, the position of Qianhu in the Second Cavalry Regiment will still be held by Ma Long, and the newly formed Third Cavalry Regiment will be headed by..."
As everyone expected, Qi Zhuang did take over as the commander of the cavalry division. First, Qianhu, the second cavalry regiment, has a candidate. In terms of qualifications and titles, there is nothing to say about the two Wu and Ma sitting in this position, but this is the second cavalry regiment.
Qianhu of the Three Cavalry Regiment made everyone worried, especially when Zhao Qiang stopped talking here, as if he was trying to show off, which suddenly made He Manchuan and Guo Fei's minds arouse, and their eyes widened.
Being the boss, I just want to hear the commander call my name.
Zhao Qiang glanced at He and Guo, who were looking forward to it, but fixed his gaze on Ba Gen, who was silent, and said happily: "The position of Qianhu in the Third Cavalry Regiment will be taken over by Bagen Baihu.
All the Buryat Mongolian soldiers captured by the army were taken over by the 3rd Cavalry Regiment."
Bagan was a little surprised by this appointment. According to the prior agreement between him and Zhao Qiang, his cooperation with Guan Ningjun was conditional. When Guan Ningjun could fulfill the agreement with him, he would leave Guan Ningjun.
He returned to his hometown, so like Grifsky, he didn't care about what position he held in Guan Ning Army, so he was startled for a moment before he stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Thank you, Marshal!" He meant it.
Thank you, thank Zhao Qiang for handing over those Buryats to him. With them, he will be more confident when contacting the Mongolian tribes to fight against the Qing Dynasty in the future. More than 200 of the 500 tribesmen who followed him died.
Jigensik even broke up a team to protect the infantry, but Bagan was heartbroken about the casualties of his tribe, but with these hundreds of Buryat Mongolians, Bagan was still ambitious and believed that his big thing would be successful.
Of course Zhao Qiang knew the reason why Bagan thanked him, so he smiled at him, motioned for him to sit down, and continued to say to his subordinates: "The appointment of officers for the hundred households of the cavalry division will be promulgated after my commander-in-chief discusses with Qi Wanhu.
Officers below the household level will be appointed and removed by Qi Wanhu himself, and I will not interfere."
He Manchuan and Guo Fei were greatly disappointed with Zhao Qiang's appointment. He Manchuan was fine, but Guo Fei was very depressed. With his relationship with Zhao Qiang, the division commander did not dare to think about it, but how could he become a regiment of thousands of households?
Unexpectedly, the three regiments of thousands of households had arranged for others, and they had nothing to do. They were sitting there feeling depressed. Zhao Qiang just ignored him.
After announcing the formation plan of the cavalry division and the appointment of senior generals, the generals knew that the rearguard division would be discussed next. He Manchuan was the first to quietly shrink back, lest he would be named to the rearguard division.
Seeing him like this, Guo Fei was also excited. No matter how interesting the sergeant is, it is better to stay in the rearguard division. He also secretly moved his chair back. The little moves of the two could not be hidden from Zhao Qiang, and he was very happy.
Let's not talk about the two of them, because the arrangement of the rearguard division has nothing to do with them.
After repeated consideration, Zhao Qiang finally made up his mind and used the two of them to shout loudly: "Zuo Mingnan, Qian Lin, follow the order!"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Mingnan and Qian Lin hurriedly stood up and answered the order: "The general is here!" They were uneasy, wondering what the commander was calling them for again. Could it be this rearguard division?
Zhao Qiang encouraged Zuo Qian and the two of them, and said slowly: "Zuo Mingnan is appointed to the post of Wanhu in the rear guard division, and belongs to the Udisk Security Brigade, Tugursk Security Brigade, Dujigensk, and Ergu
The Nancheng Security Brigade is the First Infantry Regiment, and Qian Lin is in charge of the 1,000 households of the Regiment. The Shouyi City Security Brigade was originally managed by Wu Si, but now it is also free to cooperate with the security brigades of Dingyuan, Yask, and Gulihe cities.
Together they were formed into the Second Infantry Regiment, and the commander of the regiment was taken over by Li Guangcai, a former member of the Second Infantry Regiment."
Li Guangcai led a Han army brigade, which performed well when encircling and annihilating the Russian reinforcements in Dujigensk, so he also left an impression on Li Guangcai and Zhao Qiang. Another person who left an impression on Zhao Qiang was Pei Dagang, who was punished for his crimes.
He served in the Death Soldier Battalion, was the first to break into Dujigensk, fought bravely, and his previous record made Zhao Qiang change his view on him. However, he still cannot be reused again, and he must continue to observe.
We will wait for a while, so Zhao Qiang later asked Zuo Mingnan to let Pei Dagang serve as a squad leader under the First Infantry Regiment, and then gradually promote him based on his subsequent performance. As for the officers who made mistakes such as Zhang Cheng from the original brigade,
Then they will all be downgraded by two levels, and they will observe the effects together with Pei Dagang. Another Lahu who escaped from the battle with Pei Dagang was hit by the defenders' gunfire when the city was breached, and died of excessive blood loss. His body was cremated and shared with the fallen soldiers.
His ashes were sent to the Han tomb in Shouyi City for burial, which was regarded as giving him a status, and his relatives were also treated as military martyrs. When treating the officers and soldiers of all ethnic groups who died for Guan Ning's army, Zhao Qiang thoroughly fulfilled the principle of treating all people equally.
According to the principle, no matter what ethnic group they belong to during life, they will be buried in Han tombs after death and receive incense offerings every year. It makes the dead feel at ease and allows the living to respect and yearn for it. It is also a powerful tool to implement national assimilation.
Zhao Qiang's appointment surprised both Zuo Mingnan and Qian Lin. They looked at Zhao Qiang in disbelief, their cheeks bulging back and forth. They were both happy and surprised, especially Zuo Mingnan's eye circles turned red.
Tears were streaming down his face. He never dreamed that the commander-in-chief would give him such an important task. No matter how bad the rearguard division was, it was still a division. When he was defeated, his general was not punished but was promoted to the rank of ten thousand households in the division. This is
Zuo Mingnan was filled with emotion. There was a huge gap between commanding a division and commanding a squad. It was also really exciting, and it was inevitable to lose control.
Zhao Qiang was also under pressure to hand over the rearguard division to Zuo Mingnan. Not to mention other things, just saying that Zuo commanded the Second Infantry Regiment and suffered such a huge defeat, he could not be given an important task no matter what.
There is really no one who can stand alone. Zuo Qian and Zhao Qiang were close to each other in Songshan Castle, and Qian Lin lived and ate with him in Yongling. They knew each other very well and knew Qian Lin's personality well.
, Zhao Qiang believes in him very much. Although he knows that he is not a general, he is better than loyalty. At present, there are only seven or eight old brothers left in the same room with him in the army. He should not be abandoned due to emotion and reason. And Zuo Qiang
However, Mingnan was the first to work with him along with Hu Wang. He was brave in combat and had some commanding ability. The defeat of Dujigensk could not be entirely attributed to him, so after careful consideration, Zhao Qiang still handed over the rearguard division.
Give Zuo Mingnan. As he said, give Zuo a chance. There is no general who is always victorious. Once you suffer a loss, it lasts for a long time. Zuo Mingnan, who has experienced the defeat of Dujigensk, must have more experience than those generals who have always won battles.
, it is easier to adapt to the cruel war, and maybe Zuo Mingnan will become a better general after experiencing the lessons of the defeat.
Qi Zhuang, Wu Fengqiu, and He Manchuan were not dissatisfied with Zhao Qiang's appointment. They looked at Zuo Qian and Zuo Qian kindly, and Wu Fengqiu kept nodding to Zuo Mingnan to cheer him up.
"Don't trust those you employ, and don't trust those you doubt. This is the principle of my conduct. Although you two have suffered a defeat, it doesn't matter. As long as you can lead the rearguard division well in the future, win more battles, and prevent my commander from regretting his treatment of you."
His re-appointment is." Zhao Qiang didn't want to say too much. It's useless to say too much at this time. Sometimes one sentence or thing doesn't need to be repeated too much, as long as the other party can understand it.
"Commander, don't worry, the general will definitely live up to the commander's trust!" Zuo Mingnan and Qian Lin looked at each other. They were more determined. A man who knows his best will die for his confidant. Their lives were saved by Zhao Qiang. It is the same today.
Thanks to Zhao Qiang, he is now given an important task. If he doesn't dedicate himself to it, how can he be content with himself?
"The avant-garde division was expanded by Hu Wang's 1st Infantry Regiment of the Eastward Detachment. Regarding the expansion of the avant-garde division and the appointment and dismissal of officers, this commander will send a letter to discuss with Hu Qianhu, and no agreement will be made here."
"The Guards Division was expanded by the 3rd Infantry Regiment and my commander's Guards and Cossack Brigades, and all three existing Han military battalions were added to the Guards Division."
Zhao Qiang then announced the establishment of the Vanguard Division and the Guards Division as well as the appointment and removal of officers. The Vanguard Division was expanded by Hu Wang's First Infantry Regiment, so Zhao Qiang needed to communicate with Hu Wangxin about matters related to the Vanguard Division before it could be finalized.
Zhao Qiang, the division commander of the Guards Division, asked He Manchuan to take over. He originally planned to take over the job himself, but after weighing the pros and cons, he gave up the idea and appointed He Manchuan to take over instead. The establishment of the Guards Division is different from that of the Guards Division.
, the Guards Division is organized into two regiments, but the Guards Division is organized into four regiments and three brigades, and they are all fire fighters.
The original 3rd Infantry Regiment had two brigades of firecrackers. Wu Sishou in Shouyi City also had 400 firecrackers. In addition to the 1,300 firecrackers captured by the Russian army from Dujigensk, Zhao Qiangshou now had a total of 400 firecrackers.
2,900 muskets. Four regiments and three brigades. Based on 600 soldiers per brigades, one regiment has 1,800 men, and the entire Guards Division has 7,200 men. 2
Thousands and nine hundred fire cannons can only assemble one and a half regiments, and the remaining two and a half regiments will face the dilemma of having no weapons. However, Zhao Qiang believes that when Duncan comes back, he will definitely equip the remaining one and a half regiments with the equipment they need.
Fireguns, and the envoys sent to Nerchinsk to deliver the message are coming back soon. Zhao Qiang believes that they will definitely bring him the results he wants. Once the Russians sit down to negotiate with him, he will be sure to obtain the fireguns from the Russians.
support.
In addition to the vanguard division, the newly formed cavalry division has 4,500 troops, the rear guard division has 4,800 troops, and the guards division has 5,400 troops, totaling 17,000 combat troops. The current cavalry division
The regiment has only 2,100 men, with a vacancy of 2,400 men. The Guards Division has four garrison brigades and four security brigades, with 3,200 soldiers and a vacancy of 1,600 men. The Guards Division has the original
The 3rd Infantry Regiment has four brigades of 2,400 men, a Cossack battalion of 900 men, and a Guards of 200 men, with a total of 3,500 soldiers and a vacancy of 3,700 men. The three divisions have a total vacancy of 7,770 men.
One hundred people. This shortfall is basically equivalent to the civilian husbands and prisoners provided by Mincao and the 8,000 soldiers that the three newly formed Han army battalions and teaching brigade can provide, so the replenishment and deployment of various ministries can be implemented quickly.
