Chapter 49

For the competition proposed by Qian Mo, all the battalion leaders showed great interest.

At this time, Wu Qi and Huang Yu raised questions, saying: "The division of labor is different for each battalion. The Taihu battalion is mainly for water warfare, and the Shenji battalion is for firearms. How can the competition be considered fair?"

Naturally, Qian Mo had already considered this.

Because each battalion has a different division of labor, this competition is divided into four items:
The first item: queue training, each battalion will be assigned a certain proportion of recruits, and after 3 days in the cottage school, each battalion will practice in formation, and we will rank according to the uniformity and the state of the soldiers!
The second item: Target shooting competition. Each battalion sends 20 soldiers to participate, but there are at least 20 recruits among the 5.You can choose firecrackers or bows and arrows. The distance is 50 steps. The ranking is based on the number of bulls-eyes hit. If the number of hits is the same, the battalion with the most recruits wins!
The third item: capture the flag by boat. Each battalion sends 10 soldiers with good water skills to set off at the same time in a small boat to capture the flag for the safety of distant targets. The ranking is based on the order of reaching the flag capture point. Weapons can only be used for rowing wooden boats. oars to attack the ships of other battalions.

The fourth item: For the battle formation competition, each battalion sends 50 people, at least 10 recruits, with wooden long sticks and shields as weapons.The final ranking is determined by the outcome.

每一项No.1赢得4个积分,No.23个积分,第3名2个积分,第4名1个积分。

The battalion with the highest points will be promoted to the first-class battalion, and the soldiers of this battalion will receive 2 taels of silver every month.

For the queue training, Qian Mo, Xia Wanchun, and Weng Zhiheng were the most judges and gave the final ranking.Three days later, the martial arts competition will start, and it will be divided into two days. The first three competitions will be carried out on the first day, and the last one will be completed on the second day.

In addition, each battalion eliminated some old, weak or disabled soldiers in the battalion to replenish new recruits. The eliminated soldiers could be incorporated into the law enforcement battalion. Although these people may be weaker in combat effectiveness, they have been with the rebel army for a long time and are still trustworthy. Suitable for law enforcement work.

Finally Qian Mo asked: "Do the camp owners have any objections?"

Several chief generals said in unison: "We have no objection!"

The ranks and salaries of the generals and officers of each battalion of my Taihu Rebel Army are announced below.

Each battalion has one chief general and one deputy general, one hundred households for every hundred people, and one chief for every ten people.

Second-class battalion: 3 taels of silver per month for very long

10 taels of silver per month for one hundred households

Vice general 30 taels of silver per month

50 taels of silver per month

The first-class battalion will double the monthly salary.

Originally, Qian Mo wanted to announce the monthly salaries of the general soldiers and military divisions, but Weng Zhiheng, Xia Wanchun and others insisted on not accepting it, so they had to give up temporarily.

Now the family members and craftsmen in each battalion are all rationed by the rebels, so their daily work is free.

After all, Qian Mo doesn't have a stable income yet, so he can only take care of them for the time being.

However, craftsmen can give certain rewards according to the number of qualified weapons produced, especially bird guns. For a qualified bird gun, a reward of 2 taels of silver can be given.

In order to avoid eating "big pot rice", too many people fish in troubled waters, let money be given to subordinate craftsmen and women to set work indicators.

Those who overachieve with quality and quantity will be rewarded.

Some people who are not second-hand with money are also given a certain amount of money every month.

Qian Mo asked Qian Buer: "Uncle Qian, does that Liu Yichen understand accounts and business?"

Qian Buer said: "Liu Yichen, he should have managed some industries before, and he is very familiar with accounts and operations."

"After the reorganization of our rebel army, the salary of the sergeants plus the subsidies of some other officials and craftsmen, I estimate that there will be an increase of at least [-] taels of silver every month. Now our rebel army has no fixed source of income, and the second young master has to save money. Some flowers."

Qian Mo said: "The issue of income needs to be discussed in the long term. Qian Mo has his own way to get the money. Uncle Qian, please rest assured."

Qian Mo said to Qian Ning: "Go and call Liu Yichen for me."

Qian Mo said to Xia Wanchun: "Nowadays the world is about to change drastically, and my rebel army still has to build its own intelligence system. I plan to arrange for Qian Ning to go to Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Yangzhou, Nanchang and other places to rely on restaurants, tea stalls and other industries. , Expanding the intelligence network can also increase the income of the rebel army."

"In terms of intelligence work, I hope Xiaoyin can help you, and let Qian Ning report directly to you."

Xia Wanchun has been fighting the Qing Dynasty for several years, so he naturally understands the importance of intelligence. Many failures of the rebel army are actually due to the leakage of intelligence and the lag of information, especially in this era of underdeveloped transportation. Many things that happened a year ago may be have no idea.

So he said: "Brother Mo, don't worry, Xiao Yin will definitely pay attention to intelligence work."

At this moment, Qian Ning led Liu Yichen in.

Liu Yichen said with a playful smile: "Xiaosheng Liu Yichen pays a visit to Governor Qian."

Although Qian Mo, the "Governor of the Rebel Army of Taihu Lake", was self-proclaimed by him, but at this time, Qian Mo sounds very useful.

This Liu Yichen is good at observing words and demeanor, and flattering, he is a good material for intelligence.

Qian Mo said: "If Liu Yichen asked you to run a big restaurant in Suzhou City, would you be able to make a profit?"

Liu Yichen said: "Although Xiaosheng has never run a restaurant before, as long as the location of the restaurant is good and the dishes are unique, it will not be difficult for Xiaosheng to make a profit."

Qian Mo said: "I think you are good at observing words and demeanor, so it's a shame to ask you to be a shopkeeper of a restaurant. I want you to use the restaurant to collect and disseminate information. Of course, my rebel army also needs money now, and you must also give me profits in the restaurant. "

"Nanjing Huang Sanpang's Zuixianlou is half of mine. His Zuixianlou's signboard and 'Jinlingchun Fine Wine' are available for you to use. In addition, I have a lot of special recipes here, which Qian An will give to you later. When it comes to you, ask the treasurer for the silver needed to open the restaurant."

Qian Mo said to Qian Ning again: "Suzhou's Zuixianlou is a pilot project, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Fujing, Guangzhou, these places will open Zuixianlou, slowly spread the intelligence network for me .You can look for it in the cottage now, and you can be of any religion, but it must be reliable."

"Nanjing directly sends two reliable people to Huang Sanpang's place, and there is no need to open a restaurant. In the future, the intelligence must be sorted out in time, and you report to Xiaoyin. The rebel army is short of money, and you have to manage these intelligence points well. , to earn silver taels for the rebels.”

"Let's do a pilot in Suzhou first, and other industries can also be developed. Recently, more spies will be sent out, so make sure to give me a clear picture of the surrounding situation!"

After Qian Ning and Liu Yichen resigned, Qian Mo and He Weng Zhiheng and Xia Wanchun discussed the combat strength of the Taihu Rebel Army.

Qian Mo said: "I also have great admiration for Uncle Jingnan Huang Degong. Zongbing Weng is a mighty general under Uncle Jingnan's command. How do you evaluate the current strength of the Taihu Rebel Army?"

Weng Zhiheng said: "The Jingnan Battalion has some veterans under my command as the core. Many of them were former thugs, and they have been trained carefully for a month. The equipment is also good. Although they are not as good as the elite of the Qing army, they still have a battle. power."

"Huang Yu from the Shenji Battalion is quite familiar with firearm tactics, and he has trained his subordinates to perform three-stage shooting for some time, but there are many new recruits in his camp, so it is unknown how he will perform in actual combat."

"Most of the brothers in the Taihu Camp are fishermen. Although they are good at water, they haven't had formal training after all. Weng and Wu Qi also trained them this month, but their combat effectiveness is still relatively weak."

Qian Mo asked, "What are the chances of winning if my Taihu rebel army confronts the Qing army's ordinary green battalion head-on?"

Weng Zhiheng said: "The morale of my Taihu volunteer army is high. If we face the ordinary green battalion of the Qing army, we will have the strength to fight. The outcome is uncertain?"

Qian Mo said: "It's only been a month since Xiaoyin returned to Taihu Lake. The Taihu Rebels have achieved today's situation, thanks to the hard work of both of you."

"I set up a monthly salary system and a grade system for A and B soldiers to better mobilize the morale of the rebel army. After all, fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty is a long-term undertaking. Brothers also need to live, and it is impossible to rely on only one spirit to support them forever. "

"Through this competition between the battalions, let them see the gap between each other, so that they can conduct more targeted training. I believe they can improve their combat power in the short term."

The recruitment of recruits went smoothly, and the adjustment of the personnel of each battalion and the task of replenishing recruits were completed in less than half a day.

With the support of the salary, the number of applicants this time far exceeds the number of recruits, and there is also room for selection, which greatly improves the quality of recruits this time.

The incidental effect is that God Turtle Island is now overcrowded, the abandoned cottage on Feiying Island has also been reused, and the newly established Chongming Battalion is directly stationed on Feiying Island.

During these 3 days, the chief generals of each battalion also tried their best to train the recruits. After all, recruits must be recruited for every event, and the integration of recruits is also very important.

Wu Qi and Huang Yu even pulled Weng Zhiheng and Xia Wanchun to know their training.

3 days passed quickly.

The first queue training has started.

Taihu Battalion and Shenji Battalion first appeared on the stage. After 3 days of training, their uniformity was not bad.

However, the Taihu camp had a variety of dresses and weapons. In addition to knives and guns, there were many people holding harpoons, which felt a bit messy.

As for the Shenji Camp, even though they were dressed differently, most of them held the same firecrackers, and the "three-stage strike" training was also considered uniform, which won a lot of applause!
The Chongming Battalion, which appeared later, made everyone's eyes shine. After all, more than half of them were originally the powerful troops under Zhou Boda's command, and their movements were even more uniform. Moreover, although the newly added soldiers were not uniformly dressed, they were made according to the colors of their clothes. Distinguish, and put recruits of similar colors together, and they look extraordinarily energetic.

The Jingnan Battalion, which appeared last, had the upper hand in terms of equipment. Except for the iron armor in the front row, the rest were almost all wearing cotton armor.It can be said that he is not angry and prestige, and a sense of murderousness arises spontaneously. Of course, his own training is also quite in place.

Results of the first round: 4 points for the Jingnan Camp, 3 points for the Chongming Camp, 2 points for the Shenji Camp, and 1 point for the Taihu Camp.

After watching the drill, Qian Mo ordered Qian Buer to purchase cloth and cotton to make uniform uniforms and combat boots for the rebels.

Soon a wooden target was placed on the open space of the cottage, and a red circle the size of a large pie was painted in the center of the target.

Except for the Shenji Battalion, the other three battalions chose bows and arrows.

In fact, the distance of 50 steps is still a challenge for novices.

The Taihu camp challenged first, Wu Qi took the lead, and Zhang hit the bull's-eye to get off to a good start.However, the performance of the Taihu Camp was not good after that, and a total of 6 people hit the bull's-eye.

The Chongming Battalion is here, and the distance of 50 steps is not too difficult for them, a powerful force in the army. The top 15 veterans all hit the bull's-eye.Three of the last five recruits were actually hit.

In the Jingnan Battalion, all 15 veterans hit the bull's-eye, but only two of the new recruits hit the bull's-eye, lagging behind the Chongming Battalion.

The Shenji Battalion, which was the last to appear on the stage, unexpectedly sent 5 new recruits to appear first, and all 5 of them were hit.

Everyone also had to lament that firearms are indeed easier to learn than bows and arrows, and a master archer can't practice without years of skill.

But a talented gunner can become a "smart gunner" after only a few days of practice.

On the contrary, it was a veteran who missed the bull's-eye due to the lack of range due to the aging of the firecracker.

With Huang Yu's steady hit on the bull's-eye, Shenjiying "unexpectedly" won this round.

After two rounds of competition, Shenji Camp, Jingnan Camp, and Chongming Camp got 6 points at the same time, while Taihu Camp came last with only 2 points.

This made Wu Qi, the leader of the Taihu camp, quite embarrassed.

Although the Taihu Battalion has basically lost hope of winning the championship, the next round of boats and boats to capture the flag is their strong point, and they must be ashamed.

The starting point is at the pier under the cottage, and the flag is located in the reeds about 500 meters away, which is not too far away.

With the sound of gunshots, four small boats started to set off.

Wu Qi and the others were fishermen, and they left the other 3 battalions far behind not long after they set off.

This is what everyone expected, and it didn't take long to take down the flag.

Just when everyone felt that this project was lacking in highlights, an unexpected scene happened.

The boat of the Jingnan Battalion, which was originally ranked second, suddenly shook violently, some people fell into the water, and then capsized directly.

Then the other 2 ships did the same thing and capsized directly.

In the end, after discussing with Qian Mo and several people, it was decided that in this round, the other 3 battalions would have no points because they failed to complete the task of capturing the flag.

So after the end of the first three rounds, the 4th Battalion actually accumulated 6 points.

Wu Qi, who felt his face flushed, also hurriedly apologized to the other battalion leaders. After all, his game was a bit invincible, and it also caused a lot of complaints from the other battalion soldiers.

The project on the first day was indeed very exciting, everyone's enthusiasm was very high, and the result greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

Even Qian Mo himself was unexpected. He didn't expect that the Taihu Camp and Shenji Camp, which were thought to be relatively weak, would perform so well.

But that's fine too, after all the battalions face-to-face in the last round, and everyone speaks on their own strengths.
