Chapter 48 Restructuring the Rebel Army
The fleet passed through the "Changbaidang" and finally arrived at the Taihu Volunteer Village on Shengui Island!
Although with Xia Wanchun's strong cooperation, Qian Mo has now taken over the leadership of the Taihu Rebel Army.

But Qian Mo knew in his heart that the cohesion of his team was not enough, and his own prestige was not enough.He still needs to quickly find a target to attack, to play the prestige of the Taihu Rebels, and to show everyone's trust in him.

To be honest, this is actually not the best time to attack.Right now, the Qing army must gather heavy troops in the Suzhou area to deal with the changing situation in Chongming. According to Qian Mo's thinking, at this time, it must be developing with its head covered and accumulating strength.After Jin Shenghuan raised his troops in Jiangxi next year, he will wait for the opportunity to move, taking advantage of the emptiness of the Qing army, and taking the opportunity to lay down a piece of land.

The so-called "workers must first sharpen their tools if they want to be good at their work", the most important thing right now is to figure out their "family background", reintegrate the rebel army, and improve their combat effectiveness and cohesion.

Although today's Qian Buer is the treasurer of the Taihu Rebel Army, he is in charge of the rebel army's financial power.However, several generations of their family have worked for the Qian family in Jiashan, and they are also distant relatives.

So both Qian Buer and his two sons, Qian An and Qian Ning, used to call Qian Mo "Second Young Master" when no one was around.

Now that Qian's father has passed away, Qian Mo is even more of a patriarch in their hearts.

Seeing Qian Mo, Qian Buer said happily: "Second young master, it's great that you can come back, but it's a pity that the master is no longer here."

In Qian Mo's heart, Qian Buer is not only a capable housekeeper, but also an elder who cares about him.Qian An and Qian Ning are his playmates who grew up with him, and their family is also his confidant team.

Qian Mo hurriedly said: "Uncle Qian, there is no need to be too polite. Now that you are the treasurer of our rebel army, Qian Mo still needs your full support in the future!"

Qian Buer said with trepidation: "Second young master is serious, Qian Buer should do his best!"

"My Taihu Rebels have enough money and food right now, with 7500 shi left and 55 taels of silver."

Qian Mo said: "Silver is still sufficient, but we need to find a way to store more food."

At this time, Xia Wanchun said: "My Taihu Rebel Army now has three battalions with a thousand soldiers and horses, including 600 people in the Jingnan Battalion, the main force, 200 people in the Taihu Battalion of the Navy Army, and 200 people in the Firearms Shenji Battalion."

Qian Mo said: "The people who came back with me this time are all the elites of all battles, a total of 239 people. I think we should organize a separate Chongming camp. Lu Shanhai will be the chief general of the Chongming camp, and Hong Fugui will be the deputy general."

"I don't know how the rebel army's military reserves are now?"

Qian Buer said: "Before Yang Wenqi sent a large amount of military resources to our Taihu rebel army. At present, the rebel army has a total of 30 sets of iron armor and 553 sets of cotton armor, all of which are in the Jingnan camp."

"Shenji Battalion currently has 103 bird guns, 4 tiger guns, a thousand-jin Fran machine gun, 50 barrels of gunpowder, 5000 bullets, and 100 shells. There are many knives, guns, bows and arrows in stock, enough to rearm 500 people .”

"Now there are some craftsmen of all kinds in the cottage. They can make some knives and guns. Bows and arrows are not a problem, but there is not much iron and coal, so they can't make armors. In addition, there are more than 10 firearms craftsmen who can repair firearms and make 5 bird guns every month. 6 shots.

After understanding the situation, Qian Mo said: "It seems that the armed forces of the rebel army are much better than I imagined, but the world will change next year, and our rebel army will grow rapidly. These military resources are still far from enough. I will also bring Come back with 30 blunderbusses and assign them to the Shenji Battalion, they are all powerful troops in the army, they are proficient in bows and arrows, and can use bows."

Afterwards, Qian Mo said: "It's late at night, Uncle Qian should go to bed earlier, you and Qian An may not see each other for a long time."

Then he asked Xia Wanchun again: "How is my little sister, she should be giving birth soon, right?"

Xia Wanchun said: "Zhuan'er also misses brother Mo, and has been asking about your whereabouts. She will give birth in a few days."

Qian Mo said: "Then I'll go and see my little sister. Don't tell my little sister about the father's death, so as not to affect the child in her womb."

Xia Wanchun nodded and said, "Brother Mo is still thoughtful."

It has been almost 2 months since I traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and Qian Mo is still very curious about this little girl.

In history, the Qian family in Jiashan can also be called "full of loyalty". Qian's father and Xia Wanchun died heroically in Nanjing. After hearing the news, Qian's mother Xu threw herself into the river after bidding farewell to relatives and friends; her brother Qian Xi also participated in the anti-Qing Dynasty. , unfortunately died of illness the year before.

Only the disappointed Qian Mo and his younger sister Qian Qinzhuan escaped into Buddhism, sticking to their status as adherents of the previous dynasty.

Pushing open the door, Qian Qinzhuan had already fallen asleep. Although she was pregnant with Liujia, she was slightly bloated at this time.

It can be seen that Qian Qinzhuan is also a beauty.Different from Gu Xin'er's freshness and refinement, Qian Qinzhuan's brows have a trace of ladylike dignity.

Xia Wanchun quietly helped Qian Qinzhuan up, and said, "Zhuan'er, do you see who is here?"

Qian Qinzhuan said excitedly: "Second brother, you are finally back, that's great!"

"Why didn't you see your father?"

Qian Mo could only say embarrassingly: "My lord father went to Fujian to deliver a letter to His Highness Jian Guo, so don't worry about it, little sister!"

"My little sister is about to give birth, but what's wrong?"

Qian Qinzhuan said: "I used to worry about you all the time, and the doctor said I was a little weak. But now that you've all returned safely, I don't have any doubts anymore."

Qian Mo said to Xia Wanchun: "Xiao Yin, this is your fault. Although the country's affairs are difficult, you should spend more time with my little sister."

Xia Wanchun shook Qian Qinzhuan's hand with some embarrassment and said, "It was all for her husband before, so wait for Zhuan'er."

Qian Qinzhuan said shyly, "No, Zhuan'er is satisfied now."

Qian Mo, who suddenly ate a wave of "dog food", suddenly felt that he was too much of a hindrance here, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

I only heard Qian Qinzhuan asking: "Second brother, when will you bring me a sister-in-law back?"

Qian Mo replied solemnly: "Manchuria is not destroyed, why is the family?"

Qian Qinzhuan smiled and said, "I've heard a lot about my second brother's love affairs. The story of you breaking through three levels in Piaoxiang Pavilion and meeting Gu Xin'er, the courtesan of the Qinhuai River, is probably known by everyone in Jiangnan, right?"

Seeing being exposed by the younger sister, Qian Mo had no choice but to say in embarrassment: "Xin'er is a good girl, I intend to hire her as a concubine formally, you don't think she's humble, do you?"

Qian Qinzhuan laughed and said, "Second Brother, you don't need to despise him, as long as your father agrees with you to take a concubine!"

Qian Mo had no choice but to say embarrassingly: "I agree, my lord father has already agreed!"

Qian Mo asked Xia Wanchun again: "Xiao Yin, have you ever thought of the baby's name?"

Qian Mo immediately changed the subject.

Xia Wanchun said: "I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, and I haven't named it yet."

Qian Mo said: "Boy, it must be a boy. My father can't come back, and my elder brother is gone."

"As the saying goes, 'an elder brother is like a father', I, the second elder brother, should give my nephew a name."

"How about calling it 'Polu'?"

Xia Wanchun said: "Xia Polu, what a name!"

Qian Mo didn't want to stay here to eat "dog food" anymore, so he immediately asked the two to rest earlier, and he resigned first!
However, Qian Qinzhuan's words reminded Qian Mo that there is no need to worry about Hong Chengchou now, and he should take Gu Xiner to his side as soon as possible.

To be honest, Qian Mo really misses Gu Xin'er.

The next day, everyone gathered at the cottage on Shengui Island.

Not only the battalions of the original Taihu Rebel Army, but also the leaders of several groups who were originally attached to the Taihu Rebel Army.

At this time the cottage has been packed to the brim.

Xia Wanchun said: "First of all, let everyone know about the military situation!"

"Three days ago, the 3W taels of silver transported by the Manchu Qing Dynasty to Beijing encountered a storm in the Yangtze River waterway, and all of them were submerged in the Yangtze River. Most of the 500 elite troops of the Jiangning Governor Zhou Boda's department were killed in the Yangtze River. The rest of the troops have followed Mr. Qian Mo and joined our Taihu Rebel Army anyway!"

"Yang Wenqi, the former Wusong general of the Qing army, and Tu Guobao, the Chongming general, have led their troops back to the Ming anyway. Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi stationed in Zhoushan, has led tens of thousands of Ming troops and thousands of warships to join forces with Yang Tu's second troops in Chongming. "

Hearing the news, everyone in the cottage was shocked.

"It's a pity that the 500W taels of silver are gone like this!"

"That's great, God bless me, Da Ming, Chen Bing Chongming, the master of tens of thousands of kings, is going to counterattack!"

"Isn't this Qian Mo a big traitor who took refuge in Hong Chengchou? Why did he lead his army to join the rebel army again?"

At this time Xia Wanchun signaled everyone to be quiet.

Said: "Before, Mr. Qian Mo and I were trapped in Nanjing, and our lives were at stake."

"Mr. Qian Mo cleverly set up a 'world situation' just now in order to save me from a predicament. It is a trick to surrender by relying on Hong Chengchou to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and the donation of 500 taels of silver is more for the purpose of fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty."

"Now that Mr. Qian Mo has escaped safely, he is naturally the leader of my Taihu Rebel Army. I invite Mr. Qian Mo!"

At this time, Qian Mo appeared on the stage and said: "I know that everyone is very curious about me. Many of you here know me Qian Mo, and many people have heard of me."

"My Qian family in Jiashan is a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, and I have been favored by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. My father and brother died because of fighting against the Qing Dynasty. Many of the rebels present are the children of my Qian family. I, Qian Mo, are inseparable from the Manchu Tartars. Vengeance!"

"Presumably everyone has heard of the previous 'Tianxia Bureau'. Although my Ming Dynasty is not as powerful as the Puppet Qing Dynasty, my Ming Dynasty occupies the orthodoxy of the world. Like the 'Tianxia Bureau', it will eventually come back and rule the world!"

"Qian Mo planned for a long time and won 500W taels of silver. He originally wanted to use the name of donating the silver to seek the truth of the silver. However, due to the impermanence of heaven and sudden changes, the silver taels disappeared in the Yangtze River."

"Fortunately, God blesses my Ming Dynasty. Today, Yang Wenqi and the Tu Guobao Second Commander-in-Chief have come one after another, and they have to wait for Zhang Mingzhen's tens of thousands of troops to come to Chongming to guard the Yangtze River. The situation in the south of the Yangtze River is very promising."

"The Manchurian Tartars' implementation of the 'hair-shaving order' in an attempt to destroy the foundation of our country will surely cause Han people all over the world to revolt. If Qian Mo's prediction is correct, this Yang Wenqi, the national treasure of Tu, is just the beginning anyway, and within a few months, there will definitely be more There are many generals of the Qing army fighting against the Qing anyway, and our Taihu Rebel Army will have a lot to do."

"Qian Mo's previous 'ethnic integration' theory is against his will, but it is not completely nonsense. Our Han nationality has grown stronger through continuous integration and absorption of surrounding ethnic groups. Manchuria must be like Khitan. The fusion of cultures has disappeared in the long river of history!"

"When the country is in peril, I, the son of the Han family, should join the rebel army and serve the country by killing captives!"

Don't you see that the army at the end of the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is tied to the captive, please have a long tassel!

Don't you see Ban Dingyuan, Jueyu Qingqi urges Zhanyun!

The man should be in serious danger. How can he let the Confucian crown miss this life?
The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feathers are fighting for nothing.

Abandon my old pen, and use my wartime jin!
One call for more than [-] rebels, singing war songs and joining the army.

Qi joins the army, cleans up the dust, and swears to sweep the Tartars regardless of himself!

At this time, everyone's emotions were also ignited by Qian Mo,

shouted:
"Qi Congjun, clean up the dust, and swear to sweep the Tartars regardless of their own lives!"

"Qi Congjun, clean up the dust, and swear to sweep the Tartars regardless of their own lives!"

"Qi Congjun, clean up the dust, and swear to sweep the Tartars regardless of their own lives!"

At this time, Qian Mo motioned for everyone to be quiet!
The following is the announcement of the restructuring measures of the Taihu Rebel Army:

Article [-]: From now on, the sergeants of each battalion of the Taihu Volunteer Army will enjoy the treatment of the regular army of the Ming Dynasty and will be paid monthly.

First class soldier: 2 taels of silver per month

Second-class soldier: 1 tael of silver per month

Auxiliary soldiers: 5 silver per month

The detailed rules for the assessment of arms will be announced later.

Article 50: Sergeants will be rewarded for meritorious service, and [-] taels of silver will be paid for those killed in battle.

Article [-]: Appointment and staffing adjustment of officials of the Taihu Volunteer Army

Qian Mo is the governor of the Taihu Rebel Army, and he is in charge of all affairs of the Taihu Rebel Army.

Xia Wanchun was the military division of the Taihu Rebel Army and was in charge of planning.

Gu Yanwu is the military division of the Taihu Rebel Army and is responsible for external liaison.

Weng Zhiheng was the commander-in-chief of the Taihu Rebel Army, controlling each camp of the rebel army.

Zhang Xiaofan, the leader of the Jingnan Battalion, has a staff of 600 people, forming the Zhanbing Battalion.

Wu Qi, the leader of the Taihu Battalion, has 300 people and is a navy.

The leader of the Shenji camp, Huang Yu, has 300 people and is the firearms camp.

The chief general of the Chongming camp, Lu Shanhai, and his deputy, Hong Fugui, had a staff of 400 people and formed the Zhanbing Battalion.

Qian An, the head of the law enforcement battalion, has 100 staff members, who are the military discipline supervisors and the cottage is safe.

Qian Ning is the commander of the intelligence department and is responsible for inquiring about intelligence.

Qian Buer is the treasury of the rebel army, in charge of the money, food and materials of the rebel army.

The vacancy in the establishment of each battalion was reorganized among the family members of the Taihu Rebel Army.

After the announcement of this series of reforms, the willingness of the families of the original rebels to join the rebel army was unprecedentedly high.

Even those who did not directly join the rebel leader's subordinates were eager to try and sign up to join the rebel army!
Afterwards, Qian Mo summoned Weng Zhiheng and the battalion leaders to hold a military meeting.

Qian Mo said: "You must be very interested in the division of ranks between A and B soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, right?"

"This level is not divided by individuals, but by battalions."

"In principle, the opportunities of each battalion are equal, and the ranks of A and B of each battalion are determined according to the size of their combat achievements."

"The law enforcement battalion does not need to go to the frontline battlefield for the time being, and temporarily receives the salary of a second-class soldier."

The other battalions will be paid according to the salary of second-class soldiers. In future battles, the ranks of A and B will be determined according to your combat performance.

However, considering that this is the first division, we can give everyone three days to prepare. After three days, each battalion will have a competition, and the battalion that won the first place will be promoted to the first-class battalion this month.
