Fang Xiaoyu continued: "I have no experience in commanding combat troops before, so I hope everyone will cooperate with my work in the future and disband." Fang Xiaoyu didn't say much. Now he only needs to announce that he has become their brigade commander, because
He also needed to mobilize personnel in the Ninth Brigade, squeeze out Dong Chao's cronies, and then rely on his father's former subordinates to firmly control this army. From now on, Fang Xiaoyu regarded the Ninth Brigade as his own team.
The next morning, Fang Xiaoyu went to the staff headquarters to report to Marshal Xia Jun in the name of reporting on his duties, and handed over a list of people requesting transfer. This list was drawn up for him by Feng Shichang and several others. In addition to transferring Dong Chao's cronies,
In addition to the Ninth Brigade, a large number of officers and soldiers who were formerly under Fang Weihong were transferred to the Ninth Brigade. In addition, Fang Xiaoyu proposed that Feng Shichang and other four people be promoted to one level each.
Feng Shichang served as the commander of the first regiment, and Zhang Mingzhong, Sun Zhonglian, and Wei Lihui served as the three battalion commanders of the first regiment. This low-level transfer order did not need to alert the emperor at all, and could be issued only with the approval of the three marshals.
The three marshals all strongly supported Fang Xiaoyu and met his requests one by one, and the order was quickly issued.
Seeing the order issued by Xia Jun personally, Xiahou De could not disobey it, so he had to transfer all the people there according to the order. In just a few days, the ninth brigade became a gathering place for the officers and soldiers of the former 29th army, including the old man Fang Weihong.
With his father's influence, Fang Xiaoyu easily took complete control of this army.
Since he has entered the active army, Fang Xiaoyu can no longer go back to the villa as often as he did in the staff department. Fortunately, things in the villa are on track. Huadongxing, who has been a county guard and prime minister, is here to take charge.
Fang Xiaoyu is also very relieved about the deployment. He only needs to check the accounts and work status during the two days he takes a rest every month. Now he is ready to focus on building the iron army in his mind. Whether this army can be trained well is up to him.
Obtaining military exploits in the future is the most basic guarantee for becoming a lord.
After the position adjustment, the newly appointed second regiment commander Lin Yangchun, battalion commanders Zhang Zhonglin, Qiu Yu'an, and Du Guangting; the third regiment commander Su Zhizhen, battalion commanders Liao Jianchu, Li Delin, and Xue Boling all met with Fang Xiaoyu, plus Feng Shichang and others
The first regiment of four was formed, the first formal officer regiment under Fang Xiaoyu. No one expected how much role these generals, who were still middle and lower-level officers at this time, would play on the world stage in the future.
At this time, the first task given by Fang Xiaoyu was to train troops. This was a more detailed and rigorous training method than the training plan he wrote to Xia Jun. This training method was basically the same as Fang Xiaoyu's training in his second uncle's special forces in his previous life.
The method is the same, except that the amount of physical training to take care of ordinary soldiers has been reduced by half.
After seeing the training methods issued by Fang Xiaoyu, Feng Shichang, who is best at training soldiers, first lit up his eyes and said: "This method is great. It is even better than the training methods issued by the staff in previous years. If you train like this, the elite soldiers will be as good as
Invincible."
Su Zhizhen, who was holding the plan, frowned and said: "Brigadier, is this plan too cruel? It is difficult for the soldiers to persist with the current physical condition." The food of the garrison is not good. Is it nutritious in this world?
To match this statement, if we rely on the existing food and nutritional conditions, the physical strength of the soldiers will indeed not be able to support such training.
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes, relying on the current physical condition of the soldiers is indeed not enough, so we need to improve the food, and I will determine the recipes myself." After speaking, Fang Xiaoyu took out another food catalog for the soldiers. Wei Lihui was a little curious.
He picked up the food catalog and looked at it and said: "Here, how much does this food cost? Our monthly food expenses will probably be spent in less than five days." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Not bad, so
I am going to spend my own money to improve the food for the soldiers."
After hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, several officers looked in disbelief. This had never happened before. There was no reason to lose money to the country for military training. However, everyone immediately thought of Fang Xiaoyu's current wealth and reputation and felt relieved. Mentioning that they could make money, now they can
No one dares to compare with Fang Xiaoyu, he is not short of money.
The breakfast the next day didn't change much. After all, there weren't many varieties of breakfast, and it wasn't easy to eat too much. At most, it was just rice porridge, steamed buns and pickles. But at noon, the soldiers of the Ninth Brigade who were about to eat were shocked to find that their
The food is no longer brown rice and pickle soup, but white flour steamed buns and pork stew.
Although everyone's meal was rationed, they were able to eat enough, and there was fruit after the meal. This huge change caused an uproar among the soldiers. In the surprise of the soldiers, Fang Xiaoyu announced the latest training plan.
The shock effect of the lunch was still there, and the soldiers' minds were still a little confused, and they did not realize the cruelty of the training plan at all.
Fang Xiaoyu's appointment as brigadier general was naturally approved very easily. He broke the record again and became the youngest general in the history of the Lanfang Empire. In the next month, Fang Xiaoyu completely delegated power to the three regiment commanders, allowing them to
They each lead their troops to train. Since there is a training plan, they won't go too far.
Fang Xiaoyu was in charge of logistics. In order to increase nutrition for the soldiers, Fang Xiaoyu increased the food standards of the Ninth Brigade twenty times, and specially hired chefs trained by himself to cook for them, which made them unable to even have a full meal.
, the soldiers who had always lived in poverty simply thought they were in heaven.
The training during the day was indeed tough, but what made the officers and soldiers scratch their heads the most was the cultural class required by Fang Xiaoyu. After dinner every night, all officers and soldiers had to take cultural classes. For this reason, Fang Xiaoyu found some scholars from the capital, and also from Lin Feng
They found some of the orphans who had better academic performance in cultural classes and came to teach the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Brigade.
In order to increase the soldiers' interest in learning, Fang Xiaoyu stipulated that each soldier should learn at least ten words a day. On the second day after completing the task, he would add a chicken drumstick to his lunch, and half of the lunch if he did not finish the task. Anyway, the animal husbandry of Lanting Villa has been initially established, and food production
It’s also very productive and doesn’t cost much.
Stimulated by the delicious food, these soldiers were very motivated to study. As for the officers, Fang Xiaoyu personally gave them tactical theory classes in the evening. Although these officers were all from the army and did not know much about Chinese characters, once they became officers, they
They also learned some culture. After all, officers still need to write in many places, such as writing leave notes when going out, writing duty records when on duty, writing plans for field training, and writing camp reports when camping at night. Without culture, it is really impossible.
Although they are literate, these officers have not attended military schools. They have learned their tactical experience on their own. Not only do they have no system, but they also have many mistakes and omissions. They are simply unable to adapt to today's increasingly fast-changing war model. Fang Xiaoyu has a small style.
The systematic military knowledge that has been researched is still presentable when taught.
Most of the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Brigade came from Fang Weihong's army. Fang Xiaoyu took out the cultural textbooks he wrote personally on the ship for them to try. The textbooks added a lot of personality worship content, which definitely had the effect of brainwashing.
It can guarantee Fang Xiaoyu's absolute authority in the army, and every soldier knows that the brigade commander pays for them out of his own pocket every day, so Fang Xiaoyu's recognition level also rises sharply.
The unprecedented improvement in the cohesion of the Ninth Brigade has made the officers of other brigades envious, and the soldiers below are also very envious. Of course, what they envy is the food of the soldiers of the Ninth Brigade. Some officers also require their soldiers to be trained like the soldiers of the Ninth Brigade.
, but the soldiers did not dare.
What they said is quite realistic. The soldiers of the Ninth Brigade have an egg, a glass of milk, enough white flour, steamed buns and rice every day, a big meal of fish and meat, and snacks on their days off. The chefs are on the same level as the best McDonald's fast food restaurants.
Yes, if we can also eat such good food, it would be no problem to double the training intensity. Most of the officers who were so robbed chose to remain silent. Just kidding, if the food standard is the same as that of the Ninth Brigade, I am afraid that the empire will allocate less money every year.
The military expenditure is not enough for food.
The only one who felt proud was the commander of the Third Division. He told everyone he met how great Fang Xiaoyu was and how powerful he had trained the Ninth Brigade. In order to express his satisfaction with Fang Xiaoyu, he even reported to the staff and asked for
Notify the entire army of the Ninth Brigade as a model unit. Of course, after the third division commander submitted the proposal, the three marshals did not dare to pass it. This was mainly because of lack of money. If the Ninth Brigade was promoted as a model unit, other units would ask for food
What to do if the conditions were raised to the level of the Ninth Brigade? Marshal Xia Jun could only smile bitterly at Fang Xiaoyu's blatant efforts to win people's hearts and engage in military training. This kid was so eye-catching wherever he went.
