Chapter 262 Xinping 2

Time froze and half a month passed. When the hostile rebels in the city were pacified, it took three days to rush to surrender the last five or six hundred Gaozi soldiers entrenched in Huaisheng Temple in the West City of Waiguo, and forced civil strife to kill more than a dozen deadly leaders, and came out to surrender.

Then, it was searching and cleaning up like sieves and filters, and the garbage time for the scattered soldiers and scattered everywhere in the city after the defeat; and the aftermath of this incident continued to ripple, and gradually spread from Canton to other places.

Many prefectures and counties began to experience varying degrees of chaos and turmoil, as well as the left-behind departments appointed officials to escape and the remnants of troops in garrison. They even left the garrison and ran to the place, and then robbed them arbitrarily and became bandits.

Therefore, after quelling the rebellion, Zhou Huaian suddenly found that the available troops under his command had become too short of strength again; and this was mainly the blame for the rebels who were ordered to besiege the rebels in Guangzhou; there were large gaps in their original jurisdiction and defense areas, and Zhou Huaian continued to be asked to divide his troops into front-drive to take over and maintain order, otherwise the situation that the rebels finally created and stabilized after conquering Lingnan will begin to collapse again.

Therefore, he could only give priority to stabilizing the more than a dozen states in the Lingdong Pearl River Basin with relatively abundant output; as for the original Huguan, Guiguan would not care about it for a while, and could only let it go for a while.

Despite this, he still had to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall to make up various movements, and was exhausted to arrange people to deal with various situations; if he persisted frequently, it was even harder and more tormenting than facing the enemy's battle, and it tested people's abilities;

Nowadays, the Sanjiang Army under Zhou Huaian is also relatively complex, and basically consists of three major pieces, including old rebels from the north, old officials from the Guanjian and Tutuo who were transformed from the support of the rebels, and soldiers recruited locally in Lingnan. Now, after the expedition to Annan, the Youth and Tutuo who came to the Guangwu prefectures to vote.

The proportion of old brothers of the rebel army who followed Huang Chao's army south has actually been diluted and reduced to a level that it is difficult to fundamentally deflect the overall situation. Although it still occupies a considerable degree of middle and lower-level leaders, it is actually divided into the old camps from Henan and the differences between soldiers from Shannan, Jiangxi, Liangzhe and Fujian that are supplemented along the way.

In addition, the rebel soldiers who have persisted over time and subtly indoctrinated and promoted (brainwashing) have a subtle existence.

Among the local soldiers in Lingnan, they were divided into refugees recruited locally in Lingdong, Xun, local children of Chao, and poor people in Guangzhou who were supplemented nearby. As for Guanjian and Tutu, there were also differences between Fujian soldiers, Guilin and garrison soldiers, and a group of Annan Defense Forces were also added.

They mixed mixed ginseng and used sufficiently glorious and righteous principles and beliefs, and clear goals to constrain and run in; then used strict military discipline and training as exercise rules to unify their thoughts and habitually forge collective ownership and recognition.

As long as a period of time is spent, most people get used to a common rule and system; it is basically difficult to have internal conflicts among most traditional rebels, where a person can pull away a large number of people with just a shout, or secretly incite a wave of fellow villagers to cause trouble.

Of course, this is also a disguised constraint and checks and balances for the superiors; at least there must be bottom lines and principles that cannot be easily broken, and it is impossible to act casually like traditional rebel generals who often use personal authority and will as a transfer, and they need enough wrists and mind to guide and manipulate.

Chai Ping, who was still the most essentially the first deputy, once again played the role of a firefighting team; and led a three thousand mobile horses that had been easily pieced together to transport mules and horses and supplemented by cavalry and barracks to extinguish the riots and abnormal movements in these places. At the same time, he also used his qualifications as the leader of the rebel army, Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao, to recruit and recruit other rebel soldiers who remained in those places.

As the main focus of the governance, Wang Pan, the Sanjiang patrolman who had recovered from his injuries and could get up and move around easily after more than half a year, was also invited to stay in Guangzhou and continue to partner with Zhou Huaian. As the candidate who was left behind in Chaoyang to guard the family business, he was injured in this incident. After all, there were many early-stage industries and other livelihoods in the rebel army.

As for Zhou Huaian's other important subordinate, Lao Guan, he was transferred to Shaoguan to guard and face the official army from Jiangxi. Although compared with the monster beast fighting houses with strong towns in the north, the power of Fangzhen south of the Yangtze River is much weaker, and the northern rebel army led by Huang Chao is in a state of upside down; but it does not mean that you can rest assured and not give people the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Compared with the bloated and difficult-to-repay court, many outstanding and handsome storms or temporary figures emerged in the late Tang Dynasty. For example, the founders of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were all grassroots or grassroots. He did not want to be a stepping stone for a person who was inexplicably accused of the situation during the weak transition period after he quelled the chaos.

Therefore, under the influence of this mentality of preventing the gradual and weak, Zhou Huaian spared no effort;

Others, Su Wuming, Wu Xingchen, Sun Liumao, Lu Fang, Ge Cunzhou, Huo Cun, Luo Nian, Qu Chengyu, and even Wang Tianming, Lin Ming, Zhang Biao, and even Zhong Yi and Zhao Yingong, who were known as the commander-in-chief, and others who were deputy chiefs or other generals, all had corresponding tasks. In the end, even Xiao Qi, who was in charge of the Youth Inquiry Team, Mi Bao, who led the apprentice team, and Yuan Jing, who served as the assistant clerk, were all sent out to take charge of a pool of affairs.

So in the short term in the huge Guangzhou city, only two or three kittens were familiar to him. At least at this stage, he was more concerned about the probability of his subordinates making mistakes. He was more concerned about whether he could seize this empty window period and quickly integrate and sort out the new internal and local order. As various people were assigned, the need for expanding the army was once again placed in front of him.

Fortunately, after defeating the main force of the Guangzhou Left-behind Department, Meng Qi, he still obtained some foundations and industries left by the other party. For example, there were a lot of weapons seized in the city; in addition, he also took over several large and small arsenals directly under the Left-behind Commander. Although most of the armored weapons had been moved away by the rebels north one after another, there were still tens of thousands of old materials such as swords, spears, bows and cards left.

Then with the new order sent back, most of the garrisons in Chaoxunmei, which were initially formed as the basic plan, were pulled over to make up the numbers. In the end, relying on the basic plan of the new and old 10th battalion war soldiers and the 47th Regiment garrisons; there were also the wounded and sick people collected in the local rescue camps, and the soldiers in the city under Lin Yan's name; plus the tens of thousands of waiting guards brought back by Annan and thousands of Long March garrison soldiers gathered by the local government, the Tumen athletes barely raised nearly 50,000 posts to suppress the situation.

Of course, most of them are light infantrymen without armor and little helmets; compared with losing those people in the chaos, I don’t know if they lost their hands during the war. As the price of demolishing the east wall and filling the west wall, except for Jiaoling Pass in Meizhou and Shaoguan in Shaozhou, it can be said that the local area of ​​Chaoxun Meishao Prefectures in Lingdong has become extremely empty; and outside the county town, the patrol team composed of semi-final young and strong local trunks can only be maintained by local garrisons.

Fortunately, the local grassroots forces were cleaned up before, and the nearby five states in Fujian were making a pot of porridge, but there was no time to take care of them, but there were refugees who kept investing; otherwise, they would be all kinds of local geniuses who endured humiliation and waited for opportunities, and the situation was due to the situation of joining the official army inside and outside.

According to Zhou Huaian's expectations and plans, the survival of the fittest will be further formed on the basis of this number in the future and will be reorganized into about 30 camps. Ten of them are the old camps of the fourth regiment as mobile forces and main forces, and they still use the five-party sequence as the number; the remaining twenty are the new camps of the 23rd regiments that are not satisfied with the organization, and are divided into the prefectures and cities and key strongholds in Lingdong.

Next is the 70th and 80th Regiments, which are relatively simple in military equipment, and the garrisons of the 70th and 80th Regiments were stationed in various secondary county and towns in accordance with the examples of Chaoxun Prefectures, and were stationed in various secondary county and towns in the road nodes as signs of suppressing and deterring the remaining local resistance, maintaining basic public security order and protecting the garrison forces in nearby garrisons.

But this requires a large number of low-level leaders (middle-level officers) and basic veterans (non-commissioned officers) to fill the period, otherwise it will be a one-time military template that basically cannot withstand failure in a wave of streams; the selection and training of the army alone can no longer meet the needs.

Therefore, as the external engine system and resistance have disappeared, Zhou Huaian found that he could actually consider establishing a more long-term and stable military talent training mechanism.

Of course, military academy cannot be easily made out of nothing or made into a leap; as for the current simple conditions, there are already facilities and environments for the lecture hall, so he can expand the corresponding venue with less investment, starting with the simplest three to May brief training class;

First, we found someone to compile the collected ancient military tactics and battle examples, and excerpted some easy-to-understand content as basic textbooks; then let members of the apprentice team who have a certain writing foundation preach and read;

Students are mainly selected from the army, young and have good learning ability, or old students with ambition and ideals. There is no need to be too many. At the beginning, they can just try a hundred or eighty people; then they discover shortcomings and omissions in the exploration of crossing the river, and then slowly divide classes and subjects, gradually expand the scale and refine the content of the teaching.

All the in-service generals and officials can also take time to take part-time teaching, briefly talk about various experiences after their birth and death; or discuss and think about a specific goal and matter in groups.

Although Zhou Huaian, who is the mastermind behind the scenes, does not have so much specific time to attend classes, he can also regularly collect and summarize their questions and answer questions, and continue to play the role of being a powerful and omniscient person who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable.

In addition, by clearing and encircling the riots in Guangzhou, nearly 20,000 prisoners were finally obtained. However, many of them were just fugitives, or were fugitives with suspicious origins, fugitives and bandit backgrounds.

There were also controversy and disagreement within the Sanjiang Army regarding the handling of these captured former friendly forces. Some people advocated the inclusion and absorption of these forces on the spot to supplement themselves, just like the rebel troops who invaded each other due to conflicts and rifts in the past.

Some people also suggested that a certain proportion be used to cut the knots and kill a large number of them, and then exiled the rest to remote areas such as Annan, which was invisible. Some people also suggested that after all, they were all former comrades of the rebel army. After clearing out some of the culprits and accomplices, they drove all the others to the north to the ridge, and they would still die... so many things are different.

So much so that he had a long dispute and turned into a harsh personal attack, which eventually led to the problem and put it in front of Zhou Huaian. So after weighing the pros and cons, he finally made a decision and tone:

It is impossible to directly recruit so many people. It will not only seriously affect and impact the purity and stability of the Sanjiang Army; it will also cause those newly joined who are not firm enough to have the luck of making mistakes, suspicious laws and not blame the public, or the disappointment of questioning the direction of struggle;

Therefore, we must not waste this vital force in vain, but we must also make them pay the price for what they do and force them to atone for the rest of their lives. Fortunately, when Sanjiang Army treated the prisoners of the official army before, we had already formed a certain amount of mature experience in handling and transformation.

First, we encourage mutual exposing and reporting in private, and punish those who have revealed their crimes one by one outside the city gate to comfort the people who died in the city and their families. Of course, the main purpose is to clear out the influential leaders, and to remove them from their influence and traces in the old rebel army.

The remaining ordinary prisoners were sent to the newly opened military farms in various places for supervision and labor. After all, they were mostly ready-made laborers transformed by farmers. After receiving supervision and transformation for a period of time, they were organized and guided to complain about the bad habits and accumulated traits in the rebel army and the unreasonable other party, and then, according to their performance, some of them were lenient and examples, and gradually absorbed them back into the rebel army system.

Then after this decision was released for some reason, it caused several riots and riots in the temporary prison where the prisoners were detained. At one point, they broke through the fence and fled into the city. But in the end, they still slashed thousands of heads one after another before calming down and calming down.
