Parallel to the government are the courts and the Control Yuan.
The structure of the courts has not changed much, but the Qing laws and regulations are still used in most trials. As commercial activities in Jiangbei became more and more frequent, commercial disputes became more complex, and it was difficult to find a basis for these disputes in the Qing laws and regulations.
Huai Haijun currently does not have a legislative body, and Dong Shuheng is not planning to establish such an institution. He still adheres to the following points of practicality, efficiency, and integrity in setting up Huai Haijun's institutions.
Recently, he has had many foreign codes translated. Among them, the "French Civil Code" promulgated by Napoleon caught his eye the most. People say that Napoleon's greatest achievement was not the military, but the promulgation of a "Civil Code". This is indeed the case.
The legislative concept of this code is very advanced, no wonder people are still using it a hundred years later.
Dong Shuheng also studied law specifically. Later generations of Chinese law basically inherited the civil law system of Germany and Japan. Little did he know that France was the originator of the civil law system.
Dong Shuheng believes that China will still follow the route of the civil law system in the future. A common law system like the United Kingdom, which is dominated by case law, will make it more difficult to train legal talents and is not in line with China's current national conditions.
In the civil law system, if you want to train a legal talent, you only need to study the code and understand the spirit of legislation. In the common law system, if you want to train legal talents, you must have a long period of legal training, or practice so that the person can learn from complex jurisprudence.
It is like studying Chinese metaphysics to realize the secret of judgment.
In order to solve this problem, St. John's University, which was jointly established by Dong Shuheng and John Cena, will set up a special political and law school to train talents from the civil law system and prepare for the establishment of a complete legal system in the future.
Of course, distant water cannot quench near thirst, and law students don’t even know where they are now.
Regarding the current problem, Dong Shuheng's solution is to "plagiarize". Which legal provisions in the Napoleonic Code can easily solve our current problems, then copy them down. If a code is too long, then split it and add the "Law of Obligations"
, "Contract Law", "Property Rights Law", etc. were copied separately and promulgated and implemented in the form of Huaihai Navy Decree.
In terms of procedural law, a "Procedural Law" should be compiled based on the actual situation of Huaihai Navy. It does not distinguish between civil and criminal lawsuits. A simple one is more practical.
In this way, the court can be "opened".
Wu Ting supports Dong Shuheng's arrangement. He is a veteran criminal master and understands the thinking of the Chinese people very well. Chinese people are still used to judging cases based on laws and regulations, and ordinary people also think that judges should judge cases in accordance with the law. What do you think?
If you decide a case based on your own understanding of the spirit of the law, the people will definitely not accept it.
Dong Shuheng requires all judges in the court system to receive training in turn. Since the French Civil Code is to be copied, enlightenment books that introduce modern legal thought such as Montesquieu's "The Spirit of the Laws" must be read and studied.
of.
Most of the judges under him are former criminal masters. He does not seek to completely change them, but at least allows them to passively learn some new legal ideas. Only when the legal talents he trained himself enter the court system can they truly learn from the fundamentals.
to change the current legal situation.
…
The Supervisory Yuan is parallel to the courts and the government. Its duty is to supervise internal personnel and deal with disciplinary and illegal activities.
Dong Shuheng trusted Li Hu as a person. The internal rectification carried out by the Supervisory Yuan some time ago has indeed established the prestige of the Supervisory Yuan, because in every case the Supervisory Yuan has made irrefutable evidence.
In order to improve the functions of the Supervisory Yuan, Dong Shuheng asked the Supervisory Yuan to set up supervision offices in every important department in the future. They will be directly under the vertical management of the Supervisory Yuan.
In order to prevent people in the supervision office from colluding with those stationed in the unit, Dong Shuheng stipulated that people in the supervision office should not serve in one place for more than two years.
The position of supervisory committee is established at the mid-battalion level or above in the army. The supervisory committee is responsible for supervising military discipline, reporting military merit awards, and is not allowed to interfere with military command at any time. However, it has the power to report issues to the chief military officer.
In this way, the Supervisory Yuan has established a comprehensive network covering all aspects of the Huaihai Navy's political and military systems.
In the morning, the work of the government and the two courts was arranged. In the afternoon, Dong Shuheng held a separate meeting to discuss the reorganization of the army. Because many places involved secrets, everyone in the government, courts, and Supervisory Yuan, except for senior officials, adjourned the meeting to rest.
The meeting entered the most important part - the army's rectification group and expansion.
The meeting began with a commendation session. Dong Shuheng awarded collective awards to the troops that had outstanding performance in the Yangzhou Campaign.
Afterwards, Dong Shuheng gave a speech, affirming the construction of the Huaihai Navy's troops.
Finally, Dong Shuheng read out the reorganization and reorganization plan in the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy.
The General Staff is established under the Commander-in-Chief.
Liu Qingnan served as deputy commander-in-chief, Yan Shikun served as chief of general staff, the original military staff room was merged into the general staff, Peng Yulin and retired Prussian colonel Hans served as deputy chief of staff, and several Prussian officers with strong professional capabilities joined the staff
department.
Dong Shuheng felt that Prussia, as the birthplace of the modern staff system, was inseparable from the rigorous style of its officers. Therefore, he spared no effort to introduce Prussian officers, hoping to use them to influence his officers.
The General Staff Headquarters is responsible for the analysis of combat intelligence and the formulation of combat plans. During wartime, it is responsible for dispatching combat staff to the front lines.
…
General Logistics Department.
Han Yun, the former director of the Procurement Department of Huaihai Company, will serve as the director. He will be in charge of the material procurement, reserves and supply of Huaihai Navy, Navy and Army. The arsenal, ammunition chief and Gaoyou Military Shipyard will be assigned to the General Logistics Department. This department is prone to corruption, Dong Shuheng
I feel I need to leave it to someone I trust.
General Training Department and Militia Headquarters.
The former Minister of the Armed Forces, Ma Zongwu, serves as the Minister and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Militia. The Training Department is responsible for the recruitment and training of new recruits, and the daily training management of the militia. It also manages the military status of all soldiers, promotion rewards and punishments...
The Huaihai Navy Army Field Force has been expanded to three divisions. Except for some special arms, Dong Shuheng does not plan to set up brigade-level units. In the future, the Huaihai Navy will conduct operations in divisional units. Corps-level units are not currently needed, and the Huaihai Navy
There aren't that many troops yet.
The field force consists of four divisions and one column.
Instructor.
It was expanded on the basis of the original teaching group.
Division Commander: Liu Qingnan (I strongly requested to stay in the frontline troops and was unwilling to work in the staff department. However, Dong Shuheng still let him serve as deputy commander-in-chief of the army.)
Under jurisdiction:
Artillery Regiment: 1,200 people (16 75mm cannons, 25 50mm howitzers, and 30 60mm mortars.)
Three infantry regiments: 6,000 men
Cavalry battalion: 500 people
Guard camp: 500 people
Engineer battalion 500 people
Special operations battalion 500 people
There are also some professional personnel accompanying the army.
…
The instructor will be stationed at Pukou with some people from the original Jiangbei Camp to establish a new Jiangbei Camp, which will be the main force marching into Jiangning or Anhui in the future.
The original 101st Regiment was expanded into the First Division, with basically the same organization as the instructor division, and the division commander Wang Congzhi. The First Division will move to Xuzhou. Xuzhou is the gateway to Jiangsu and a transportation hub, and has always been a battleground for military strategists.
As he grew stronger, Dong Shuheng now felt that the Qing government's tolerance of him was about to reach a critical point. He might take action against him at some point, so he wanted to first place a heavy army in Xuzhou, and then go up the canal.
If you go straight to the capital and retreat, you can defend the Huaihai Navy's gateway.
The original 102nd Regiment was expanded into the Second Division and was stationed in Changzhou and Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. It blocked the Taiping Army from the east and could attack the Taiping Army's Tianjing base camp from the east at critical times.
Cai Shusen's Army Department in Shandong joined Lin Wei's Department to form the Third Division. Cai Shusen now formed a new army under Guizhong Bank, which already had three regiments of troops. Lin Wei's cavalry regiment was also full.
Now Lin Wei has been recruited according to the report sent to the Qing court by Guizhong Bank, and has been given the title of Yizhou guerrilla. This is just convenient for his cavalry regiment to move in the southern Shandong area.
Cai Shusen and Lin Wei's Department are now mainly responsible for exterminating the bandits and thieves in Shandong. On the one hand, they can gain a firm foothold in Shandong, and on the other hand, it can facilitate Gui Zhong Bank's meritorious service and promotion.
At the same time, using bandit suppression, Cai Shusen and Lin Wei confiscated a large amount of land from the bully landlords. These people had colluded with the bandits, and there was no evidence left for him to create any evidence. The land would be transferred to the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau and turned into Huai Haijun's farm.
In this way, Huai Haijun used the farm to penetrate Shandong step by step.
The troops in Lu Feiyan's hands are quite special. They are still called the Taihang Column. The reason why they are called so is to not limit their formation. As long as Lu Feiyan's conditions in Taihang allow, she can theoretically continue to expand her troops.
The garrison units in various places are still organized into regiments, but defense areas will be re-divided as needed, and the density of garrison units in the surrounding counties will be relatively higher. In addition, garrison units will be established at any time as needed, such as the garrison regiment in Shanghai.
During this expansion of the main force, some of the original garrison officers were withdrawn from the main force. Talents were then selected from military academy graduates and reassigned to the garrison. These new officers will be tempered and gain experience in the garrison.
.
Dong Shuheng believed that the best officers should be trained in the front-line field troops. The garrison troops were considered second-line troops and had relatively lighter combat tasks.
For the navy, Dong Shuheng serves as the commander-in-chief and Liu Dahai serves as the deputy commander-in-chief. After this appointment, Liu Dahai will transfer officers from the navy and recruit sailors from the coastal militia to prepare for the establishment of the Nanyang Navy.
Peng Yulin concurrently serves as the commander of the Yangtze River Navy as deputy chief of staff.
Zhang Qiang still serves as the commander of the Canal Navy, but in the future the scope of activities of the Canal Navy will be transferred to the canal section in Shandong.
Ma Liankui served as the commander of the Taihu Navy and built a naval base on Taihu Xishan Island. This base will station a regiment of the Marine Corps and radiate to the coastal areas of Taihu Lake.
Finally, two military schools were established, and the original Army Academy was expanded into the Gaoyou Army Officers School at its original site.
In addition, a naval officer school was established in Haizhou. Before the fallout with Britain and France, naval instructors were hired from Britain and France to cultivate professional naval officers.
Dong Shuheng doesn't think there is anything wrong with learning from his enemies. Even if the teacher is bad in nature, as long as his knowledge is true, it is worth learning, because knowledge itself is not divided into good and evil.
Through this expansion, the Huai Navy Army Field Force will reach nearly 40,000 people, not including the Taihang Column. The Navy will have three inland water divisions and one ocean water division.
In fact, Dong Shuheng also knew that such a rapid expansion of the army would affect the combat effectiveness of the army, and the capabilities of the officers would not be able to keep up.
Therefore, he required even division-level officers to attend military academies regularly. Of course, senior officers must learn more and broader knowledge.
Dong Shuheng believes that a good senior military officer must not only understand military affairs but also understand strategy and politics.
When he has free time, he will also give strategy classes and international situation classes to senior officers. Officers also have to study international politics, history, and study classic war cases at home and abroad.
