Chapter 10 The Capital of Revolution
"Haha, there is finally a battalion of soldiers. Although they are all new recruits, that's fine. At least there is no bad habits of the masters and soldiers. Moreover, this battalion is newly established, and the company commanders and platoon leaders are all from our Comrades Association. If this battalion soldiers are well trained, we will have the capital to settle down in this chaotic world!"
Chang Ruiqing knocked on the table, and painted the good situation in the future for his brothers.
This time, Chang Ruiqing and his team were arranged by Xu Shuzheng, who was afraid of everyone, and their efficiency was naturally surprisingly high. Li Jincai, the commander of the 13th Division, was also a general of the Anhui Division. He was originally the commander of the Guards. This time, he could become a serious division commander, so he did not make any sense to make things difficult for the more than ten Baoding students arranged by Xu Shuzheng. After meeting him, he did not ask for bribes (I also know they had no money). He just gave a few words to the Nanyuan Military Camp to take office. After all, this model battalion did not occupy the original organization of the 13th Division, and it was another camp outside the twelve battalions of the Fourth Regiment of the Second Brigade. For this Master Li Jincai, it was considered a waste of time that he had more troops, and the military pay he could deduct was naturally more...
Speaking of deducting military pay, it is basically a common problem for all Chinese troops to send troops. Since the rise of the army in the late Qing Dynasty, the army has almost become a "shareholding system". The court or the central government has one, and those warlord leaders who control tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops also have one. The officers who lead troops directly below, such as the current division commander and brigade commander, also have their own shares in the army. Even battalion commanders like Chang Ruiqing who manage hundreds of soldiers, have one small share, which can almost be considered an entry-level warlord! Since this army has implemented a shareholding system, shareholders of all sizes of shareholders of all sizes of course have one dividend, and this "dividend" is not only about separating the territory and shave the land, but also eating the empty amount and deducting the military pay!
According to the bureaucrats in the Beiyang system at that time, the military pay and food expenses paid by the Army Department were directly handed over to the commanders of each division or mixed brigade brigade commanders, and then distributed by them. Except for a few exceptions, the commanders and battalion commanders below could not get 100% of the military pay from Shangguan. Chang Ruiqing was naturally no exception, but his model battalion was directly under the 13th Division, so the deducted links were less than the brigade and two levels of the regiment, so he could still get 80% of the military pay. As for how Chang Ruiqing allocated this money, the above was not very concerned.
Looking at the staffing table, the model battalion should have 12 platoons of the fourth company, including the battalion headquarters, which should have 556 officers and soldiers and more than a dozen mates and servants. However, the model battalion is not full at present and still owes the fourth company to the establishment. In fact, it only pays 80% of the military pay and food expenses according to the standard of 439 officers and soldiers, and can receive about 3,600 yuan per month, and can pay double pay once at the end of the year. However, not all of them found that the ocean was, half of which were banknotes issued by the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications. In addition, the military rations and uniforms of the army were also distributed uniformly, with the standard being 24 taels of rice per day (16 taels of system) of rice per day and two clothes a year.
As for weapons and equipment, they are neatly configured according to the standard. The firearms are produced by Gongxian Arsenal. The quality is very new and the quality is good. The machine rifle bullets are strictly controlled. According to the system, the division headquarters directly sent people to send them over before each target shooting. After shooting the target, the shell shell must be handed over. There seems to be no loopholes. However, the bullets distributed to the officers are very well-managed, probably to facilitate the officers to "suppress" soldiers?
"If you want to lead the soldiers well, you naturally need to have the word "money". Everyone knows what other camp rules are, and I won't say much. But we can't do that in our model camp. If we do that, it's impossible to bring out an elite soldier that is terrifying the world! Without elite soldiers, everyone will have no future!"
Speaking of this, Chang Ruiqing glanced at the people in the room with a serious look, and his tone increased: "Now what is given above is 80% of the salary. Each soldier should have 480 cents a month. I will personally send it to every soldier! Moreover, there is no vacancy in the three-way and nine-row row. At that time, I will talk to each soldier one by one. I also hope that you can often talk to every soldier under your command, remember what their name is, where they are, whether they have parents or brothers at home, and whether they have difficulties in their family. If so, just help them... Although they are all small favors, they can really buy people's hearts! Maybe they will be willing to work hard at the critical moment. However, if they are mercy, the discipline in the team cannot be relaxed, and the training cannot be relaxed at all."
"In addition, we must also take charge of the officers in the team. I recommend Yan Zihao as the head of the model battalion. What do you think?" As he said that, Chang Ruiqing raised his hand and pointed to the little man from Hunan. He graduated from the third phase of the baggage department of Baoding. He had arranged a second lieutenant platoon leader before, but Chang Ruiqing planned to let him do his job.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, but Yan Hao's face seemed to have a disappointed expression, Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly and said to Yan Hao: "The Chief of the Division is the main steward of the entire battalion. This errand is much more important than the platoon leader... Can our soldiers be taken well? You, the Chief of the Division, is the key!" As he said that, he let his voice down a little: "In other battalion heads, this Chief of the Division, is definitely a fat man, and it is not a confidant of the battalion commander, but in our model battalion, the Chief of the Division is a chore! I require that all accounts of the Battalion and the Central Office must be made public! The monthly rice, flour and food expenses must be clearly announced and accepted by everyone's supervision. No copper coins can be missed! If there is a surplus of food expenses, it must be distributed to the soldiers according to the head. Zihao, do you understand?"
Yan Hao stood at attention and patted his chest and said, "Brother, don't worry! My Yan Hao's eyes are not too small to let go of the money for the brothers' meals!"
Chang Ruiqing smiled and nodded. At present, there are probably no military officers in all the military forces in the country who don’t make money. Three dollars a month of food can really be eaten into the mouths of soldiers. I wonder if there is one and a half yuan per day? However, he can still feel at ease with this errand to hand over to Yan Hao. This kid is still very decent. If the supervision is strict, there should be no big problem.
"There is the deputy positions in the Model Battalion are now empty. I want to arrange some classmates to come in. Our students in Baoding are excellent officers who have been strictly trained for many years. In this world, each one is very precious." Speaking of this, Chang Ruiqing looked at Bai Chongxi and Wu Shi again and said with a smile: "Who are you here to do the deputy battalion commander? But if you become the deputy battalion commander, you have to give up the company commander."
Hearing this, Bai Chongxi hurriedly lowered his head and said nothing. Where did the deputy battalion commander have the power of the company commander? Seeing that Bai Chongxi didn't want to do it, Wu Shi laughed and said, "Then let me do it."
Chang Ruiqing smiled and bowed to Wu Shi: "Then from now on, we will help each other and try to bring this model battalion out as soon as possible." Then he thought for a moment and said, "Of course my first company commander can't serve as a part-time position anymore. This will give two more vacancies for the company commander. I want Zijiang and Youlin to make up for it. What do you think?"
Although Wang Junhao and Zhao Zhen were Chang Ruiqing's second generals, they were also graduates of the third-level intra-school degree in Baoding. As the company commander, he was naturally qualified. The people in this room were both classmates and comrades, and of course they could not hide their face and object. This proposal was naturally passed without any suspense. In this relaxed conversation, the relationship between Chang Ruiqing and his ordinary classmates in Baoding had quietly changed from a classmate to a superior and subordinate. The financial and military power of this newly released model battalion was also firmly grasped by him. The first step to becoming a reactionary warlord was considered to be a formal step!
