Chapter 75: Zhang Family Invitation

If the number of new army soldiers recruited by the province and region is close to the "Association" in the Beiyang New Army customization, you can submit a request to the training department to form a cooperation, and at the same time set up a certain number of artillery and cavalry affiliated units to form a hybrid cooperation.

Because the Mixed Association is not "customized", the Mixed Association has no number and only regional names. For example, Guangxi has only built a Mixed Association, so it is called "Guangxi Army Mixed Association", which is the official name. However, in a popular case, sometimes in order to distinguish between the new army and the old army, it is called "Guangxi New Army Mixed Association", which is strictly wrong.

If the number of mixed associations is more than one, the training department may grant numbers, such as "Sichuan temporary army 33rd Mixed Association" and "Henan temporary army 29th Mixed Association".

Finally, if the amount of troops in a town is sufficient, it will be reported to the Military Training Department (later changed to the Army Department) for review. If approved, it will be granted a "temporary" number. After training for a period of time, the Military Training Department will send senior officials to form a scheduling regiment to review. After passing the scheduling, it will be reported to the Ministry to form an army, and will be granted a formal number, official defense, and official positions. The words "temporary" are removed and the new army will be officially become.

Therefore, the number of the newly established army is composed of the garrison area plus the number. The number is not repeated. For example, "Zhili Army Fourth Town", it is not a local army in Zhili, but a "Fourth Town of the Army, stationed in Zhili". However, until the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, there were only four towns in Kinki, two towns in Zhili (i.e. the six towns in Beiyang New Army), one town in Hubei, and one town in southeast China, and other eight towns passed the review and officially formed an army, and the rest of the towns still had the "temporary" numbers.

Although the 24 towns are currently in the temporary arrangement, the officials have too many vacancy. Even if they can pass the review, they may not be able to obtain the official number approval 100%. Unless they perform extremely well in the review and satisfy the officials reviewed by the Training Department, they can fill the disadvantage of insufficient vacancy.

The reason why the twenty-four towns failed to pass the proofreading in history is this factor.

Ni Duan couldn't help asking, "Zhenzhi, what does it mean to say that?"

Wu Shaoting smiled and said, "I'm telling you that Fuqi is very important for whether the Twenty-Four Towns can shine during the spring inspection. Since Zhao Biaotong does not approve the training of the army, I'll just go to the general."

Ni Duan suddenly realized, nodded with conscience, and said, "So that's how it is."

Wu Shaoting curled his smile and said in a low voice with a serious expression: "Brother Ni, the reason why I want to conduct this military training is not just for my personal influence in the twenty-four towns. You must understand that I have always hoped that our twenty-four towns can get the official number as soon as possible, because then Fuqi will definitely add and promote officers to fill the empty space in the command level in the army. By that time, we can allow more revolutionary patriots to infiltrate the officer level of the twenty-four towns."

His words were actually just a pretext for being high-sounding.

For Wu Shaoting, the primary reason is that he can master the twenty-four towns as soon as possible.

But Ni Duan didn't know this. In his heart, Wu Shaoting was a sincere revolutionary patriot. After hearing Wu Shaoting's words, he said with great emotion: "Zhenzhi is indeed far-sighted."

The next day, Wu Shaoting came directly to the Army Yamen and handed over the text of the revised military training plan to the general secretary Wang Changling, who was handed over to Fuqi on his behalf.

Another day later, Fuqi personally came to the Army Yamen and found Wu Shaoting to discuss the details of the military training plan.

Wu Shaoting had already been well prepared, and Fuqi had already seen it when he had trained the back of the Shanziying camp, so he gave detailed answers to all the questions.

Simply put, military training is divided into two aspects, namely "reorganizing military affairs" and "enhanced training". The former is the starting point since the new army is idle all day and the military discipline is loose; the latter emphasizes the purpose of dealing with the review of the military training office next year.

After hearing that this training plan could improve the military quality of soldiers in the town and be more capable in stance, which would be of great help to the school review after the beginning of next spring, Fuqi immediately agreed. He knew that the new army soldiers were very leisurely all day long, and the old army was carrying out the defense in Guangzhou City. The new army was bored in the barracks most of the time, and gradually breeding various gambling behaviors. Instead of being desolate like this, it would be better to train the army again.

Wu Shaoting took the opportunity to suggest to Fuqi that since the Shanzi Camp leader Li Mingshan has been removed from his post, he might as well arrange the back post of the Shanzi Camp to the new army. These old soldiers trained by himself can also become a model of this military training.

However, Fuqi did not agree to this request. Shanzi Camp belongs to the fire camp and he does not have the right to interfere with the military power of the Governor's Office. The reason why Li Mingshan was able to be removed from his post last time was that Li Mingshan caused a big disaster himself.

Wu Shaoting had to stop persevering. The reason why he did this was that he actually felt that he had feelings for the back whistle. It would be best if he could train these local soldiers into his own personal guard in the future.

In the afternoon of the same day, Fu Qi announced that Wu Shaoting was the acting chief instructor of the 24 towns, who was fully responsible for preparing for military training. However, for the sake of convenience, he decided to let Wu Shaoting practice in the first standard first. If the effect is significant, then promote it to the second standard, the attached cavalry standard and the artillery standard.

Once this news came out, all the soldiers in the twenty-four towns were in an uproar.

The first thing the new soldiers talked about was that Wu Shaoting had returned from Germany less than half a year and had already jumped from an old military sentry officer to a second-class staff officer. Now he has served as the head coach of the whole town. What kind of force is behind this? In addition, many soldiers also felt very dissatisfied. They had already undergone military training last year, so why are they coming to military training now? These people all think that Wu Shaoting deliberately made such a difficult time in order to get promoted.

For a time, the town was very negative, especially the first target of pilot project.

When Wu Shaoting faced such a storm, he just smiled because when he was holding a training camp at the back of the troop, the local soldiers at the back of the troop had the same mentality. Although he could use his power to use the salary to intensify these soldiers at the back of the troop. But this is not the case now. The number of first bidders is large, and the military salary is not something he can decide.

However, he had already come up with another way to stimulate the morale of the new army soldiers and change the impression of those soldiers with dissatisfaction.

In the past few days, Wu Shaoting convened eight training officers of the first bid and held several meetings and formulated a detailed training plan.

These plans are generally implemented according to his training back-and-forth thinking, and training is tentatively scheduled to officially start on October 10. On October 1, he decided to gather the entire army of the First Ballot to hold a pre-training oath-taking meeting. At this oath-taking meeting, he would greatly improve the views of the First Ballot soldiers on his own and let the First Ballot soldiers know the necessity of this training.

On the morning of the end of September, a car suddenly came to the western suburbs military camp.

This car is very eye-catching, and many people have seen it before, and they immediately recognized it as the cabriolet from Zhang Zhi's family.

However, the person who came by the car today was not Zhang Zhi himself, nor Zhang Zhi's quirky daughter Zhang Xiaoya, but just a butler of the Zhang family. The butler of the Zhang family inquired in the military camp, and finally came to the officer's dormitory and found Wu Shaoting, who was on vacation today.

The Zhang family housekeeper enthusiastically told Wu Shaoting that the eldest lady of the Zhang family wanted to invite her to the city to see her next door this afternoon.

When Wu Shaoting asked why Miss Zhang family invited him to the Zhang family, the Zhang family housekeeper was unaware of it and just smiled and asked Wu Shaoting to make sure to go to the appointment.

After seeing off the Zhang family housekeeper, Wu Shaoting was a little puzzled. He seemed to have not had any contact with the Zhang family for more than a month. What was Zhang Xiaoya's thing to do to find him? He sighed secretly, thinking in his heart that the rich man of the Zhang family could not be offended. Moreover, he had a good impression of Zhang Xiaoya. Although this little girl was not old, she was fortunate to be born in a comprador family. She was deeply influenced by Western learning since she was a child. Instead, she did not have the kind of pedantic tyranny of feudal women. It was really commendable.
