Since the reign of the Revolutionary Army, it has been repeatedly supplemented. The backbone, firm in mind, brave and fearless; the supplementary are mostly simple and kind peasant children, as well as selected surrendered soldiers and generals.

The expansion of the Revolutionary Army has its own unique approach. In order to better allow the new recruits to grow and to firmly control the troops, the method of leading the new is always implemented. To be more precise, it should be a supplement. There are no new recruits in the established system, but the old troops are constantly injecting fresh blood, expanding to a certain level and then splitting them in an organized manner.

With veterans, the new recruits can grasp the experience of veterans as quickly as possible; with veterans, the new recruits will have a backbone in the battle formation. After one or two actual combat, the new recruits will quickly mature and even enter the ranks of veterans, and begin to teach the real new recruits by example.

After this form of expansion, the combat effectiveness of the army will definitely decline in the early stage, but the skeleton still exists, and the degree of decline can be controlled within a certain range. This expansion is an opportunity for veterans to improve. Most squad leaders and platoon leaders are veterans. If you advance, learn more, and read more, you can apply to study with the military academy and move towards the intermediate level.

Even if you are a veteran and have not been promoted, the military pay and benefits will be different. At least, the military pay and pensions increase according to the service time and military merits, and the resettlement benefits after retirement also increase greatly according to year and contributions.

Yes, although it is called the Revolutionary Army, it is taking the path of regular army building. After all, revolution is everyone's business, for the sake of the country's strength, the nation's rise, the life is rich and peaceful; after all, the future of the Revolutionary Army is a national army that maintains domestic stability and resists foreign aggression; after all, every soldier cannot be expected to be passionate and selfless revolutionaries. As long as they have simple and legitimate requirements, it will not go against the goals that must be achieved after the revolution.

The "Revolutionary Military Disability Pension Law", "Soldiers' Family Preference Law", "Military Service Law", etc. have begun to be implemented within the Revolutionary Army. They are just waiting for the base to be built and the time is ripe, so they will be made public to the world in the name of the "Southwest Revolutionary Military Government". The government is the curtain of formal confrontation, occupying moral orthodoxy, and launching a legitimate war with the Qing court.

The "Southwest Revolutionary Military Government" is about to promulgate not only laws and regulations on soldiers, but also a series of other legal provisions and notices, which are related to the interests of people of all classes of the country and the interests of foreigners. The purpose is to minimize resistance, reduce panic, enhance understanding, and reduce the motivation and reasons for interference from the great powers.

A regime that is not just an armed force, but ambition to the world must have a solid base, a policy and purpose with appeal and temptation. Only then can production be restored, developed, attracted people in the occupied areas, and then obtain a steady stream of taxes and soldiers from the expanding occupied areas.

Therefore, this time the uprising in Guangxi, the revival will not be satisfied with an uprising or a riot recognized by the outside world. Instead, we must gradually reveal our chariots and horses and start to compete with the Qing court for the high points of morality and orthodoxy. With extensive cooperation and struggle are inevitable, "not plunder, not extort, not harm the people. We do not force the people to recruit legitimate private property, do not trade fairly, protect industry and commerce, and protect the lives and property of foreigners...", and various policies were widely promoted through newspaper media with the continuous victory of the Revolutionary Army.

That's right, this is not a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom or Boxer-style riots and rebellion, but an organized, led, orderly, and wise revolutionary struggle against the rule of the Qing court.

"Speaking of this, robbing the rich and helping the poor is easy to resonate with the people at the bottom. Because hating wealth and officials is a common sentiment in China. But this does not meet our long-term goals and is easily labeled as bandits and thugs."

"The grace to the people should be gradual, not in one step. The marginal effect of gratitude, what? You don't understand? Then use the old saying to explain it. To promote mien, fight against mien. Under the current circumstances, as long as the Qing court's heavy taxes are reduced, the people will be grateful and leave the rest for the future."

"Although the sparrow is small, it is complete. First, put up the airs of this revolutionary military government. Government officials are both working and learning, and they also increase their practical experience."

"To persist for a long time and continue to grow, the key is to form an operating system that can be basically self-sufficient. Note that I am talking about basic, that is, the headquarters will do its best to support it. But you must also do your best to open up various channels to provide for supply. Fighting with war is a method, and seizure may be the most direct; production and manufacturing, such as reloading bullets, homemade grenades, and even black gunpowder, must be taken very seriously. You must be mentally prepared for hard work and the spiritual will to persist in the face of various blockades."

"Fighting is inevitable, but it is optional. We must try our best to carry out valuable battles, which are conducive to material seizure, team growth, expansion and stable occupation. This aspect is required to be flexibly mastered. After all, the battlefield situation changes rapidly, and you are the most intuitive to understand. The most important thing is to be cautious, not aggressive, not impulsive, and not fight unsure."

"It is safe to break down a decisive battle into several battles, and accumulate small victories into big victories. If a battle fails and the main force is still there, it is easy to adjust to make another battle. In other words, don't expect a shocking battle to decide the outcome, nor will you collapse because of a setback. Leave some room, leave some elastic space, and don't make a gamble of desperate bets."

"The responsibility is heavy! With your order, it is related to the life and death of many people. Those people also have parents, wives and children. With one mistake, they ruined many families and added many widows. Regret, there is a useless thing. Can people survive if they die? You, and all the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army, are the backbones cultivated by our Revival Association for hard work, and are elites. The revolution must sacrifice, but this is inevitable, but it is not a meaningless sacrifice. Death must die to the right place, and the most dazzling light must be shining."

…………………

The meeting lasted for a long time, and all officials from all over the world attended, including questions and answers. More of them were Chen Wenqiang's earnest warnings and reminders, explaining the precautions and routes.

Although the Guangdong New Army defeated Long Jiguang, occupied Zhennanguan City, and confronted the Revolutionary Army. However, the plan to defeat the New Army had been formulated and contacted Qiongzhou was completed. The large-scale counterattack was about to begin. Chen Wenqiang was leaving.

A month has passed, and it has exceeded the expected time. What did Chen Wenqiang leave for the Revolutionary Army? It is the policy and policy that the General Staff of Qiongzhou has repeatedly discussed and studied. It is the precise selection and employment of personnel, the establishment of the three major detachments, the prototype of the construction of the base area, the bottom line, and the principle of surrender and rebel. It is the standard for not taking the ordinary plunder and killing of civilians in war...

He is a hero, fights the battlefield in a decisive battle, commands like a god, and does not stop the enemy. Well, such a dream is getting farther and farther away from Chen Wenqiang. I am afraid it is also an unrealistic dream. Famous generals, the experience accumulated by bones, the coldness and courage trained in countless deaths, and the blood and tempering. Although he has commanded several battles, it is far from enough. Moreover, his goal is not this, and he also believes that he is not that material.

Although Chen Wenqiang had to leave and still had a lot of concerns about the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army, he also had optimistic expectations. This is a new force, with simple interpersonal relationships and not so complicated. The army dominated by young people is always full of vitality and desire to make achievements. With the continuous expansion, the strengthening of equipment, the influx of military officers in military academy, the improvement of ideological theory, tactical concepts and vision, this army will be a torrent of iron army full of hope and bright future.

Fairness is the biggest feature of the revolutionary army. Many officers were promoted by courage and military achievements. They were not old and had no background. They were completely made by themselves. The more they were like this, the more they would arouse the enthusiasm of others and be full of desire for battle. Chen Wenqiang was relieved by such a vigorous and upward mental state.

Therefore, no matter whether you are enthusiastic about revolution or eat food and pay, as long as you work hard and fulfill your duties as a soldier, you will always benefit you. Of course, punishments for violations of discipline, lack of war, fear of death, etc. are unprecedentedly strict. Both kindness and power are important. Clear rewards and punishments have always been the characteristics of a strong army.

Moreover, another advantage that can make the revolutionary army a strong army is the Guangxi soldiers. Since the Song Dynasty led 50,000 indigenous soldiers in Lingnan more than two thousand years ago, the Guangxi soldiers have always been a symbol of the strong combat effectiveness of the Guangxi army. The tradition of producing elite soldiers in a place has remained unchanged for thousands of years and is the only one that China has!

At the same time, Guangxi is also the most rebellious area. Faced with the harsh treatment and exploitation of the imperial court, the people of Guangxi often launched resistance movements such as "resisting donations and reducing grain". This undoubtedly provided favorable conditions for the expansion and growth of the revolutionary army.

Wearing straw sandals, good at climbing mountains, swimming, able to endure hardships and have a brave personality. In Chen Wenqiang's eyes, this is definitely the best choice for a good soldier.

"If you can train 30,000 to 50,000 elite troops, the revolution will be about to succeed." Chen Wenqiang sighed quite emotionally. In the night, on the fort, he looked at Zhennan Guanguan City in the distance, "There is a long way to go, but we have already had a good start, right?"

"Yes, a good start." Ge Zhichu repeated, paused for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "After defeating the Guangdong New Army, there is no longer a Qing army in Guangxi. The patrols from all over the country are patched up and the mobs are not worth worrying."

"Ants can eat elephants, and we must also consider the Qing army transferred from other provinces." Chen Wenqiang said cautiously: "However, the army is complicated and the hearts of the people are different. If they fight well, wouldn't they become the transportation team of the Revolutionary Army?" As he said that, he laughed, "There is no gun or cannon, the Qing court made it for us; there is no food or clothing, and the Qing army will come forward. Haha, it's very easy."

"The Qing court is incompetent, the Qing army has low combat power, and the revolutionary army really needs to seize materials from them. This is also a favorable condition for long-term persistence and development and growth!" Ge Zhichu laughed twice and said, "The headquarters' support has been done with the best efforts, and with the Qing army's blockade in the future, it will become more and more difficult, right?"

"It's great that you can have such a consideration." Chen Wenqiang nodded in admiration and said in a deep thought: "This is the main reason why I want to leave you a huge amount of money. Although it can't be spent for the time being, there may be a chance in the future. In fact, whether it is ammunition, food, military pay, etc., it will eventually be attributed to money. The headquarters will find ways to circulate the banknotes of Zhongqiao Bank in Guangxi and Yunnan to facilitate your financial operation."

"Zhongqiao Bank?" Ge Zhichu wanted to speak but stopped, but finally did not ask.

Chen Wenqiang glanced at him and didn't want to explain it too much. If it was all gold and silver, he could not afford it. The time is not yet ripe for money to replace silver. Moreover, there are too many secrets involved in this, which is not something Ge Zhichu should have known.

"This Zhao Sheng has a firm revolutionary will and military ability." Chen Wenqiang changed the topic and reminded earnestly: "There is a good way to train troops, and he can set up a tough camp and fight to death. But that's it, the staff team should pay more attention, especially you, the chief of staff, and you should guide more. After all, the revolutionary army is not suitable for fighting hard against the enemy."

"I understand." Ge Zhichu hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Why didn't the headquarters transfer Comrade Zhao Sheng away and went to the military academy to study for a while?"

"Because he is the new military standard." Chen Wenqiang briefly explained: "He will shock the Qing court anyway, and will cause distrust of the new army. Well, this is a very complicated issue. As long as you do your duty and Wu Shuai's remote control command, the Revolutionary Army will not make mistakes. As for me, I will have a long talk with Zhao Sheng to let him understand the key points of the Revolutionary Army's future combat."

Ge Zhichu nodded, and he was confident in these things. After all, although Zhao Sheng would be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Revolutionary Army, he could not be self-centered according to the division of powers of the Revolutionary Army. First, it was the constraint of the staff team, and secondly, it was because of the radio station that the reporting and approval of military operations became a reality.

"It's started." Chen Wenqiang pursed his lips slightly and looked at the sudden fire that suddenly popped up in Zhennan Guanxi Pass.

The fire became louder and brighter, and the sound of gunfire and explosions came faintly, and the internal and external attack on the Guangdong New Army began.

The fortress is most easily breached from the inside. With Zhao Sheng and Dai Qing and other lurking personnel, defeating the Guangdong New Army became a relatively simple thing.

Guan Dai Qingyou led his confidants to open the city in the middle of the night and led the revolutionary army to the various garrison camps in the city. The battle was carried out rapidly but not fiercely. The new army, which was completely unprepared, was in chaos under the sudden and violent attack. Coupled with the orders and persuasion of surrender by Zhao Sheng and other commanders, they quickly gave up their resistance. Only Guan Hu Zhaoqiong urged his subordinates to fight desperately and ended with death.
