"Congratulations, my lord!" Li Donghan's subordinates congratulated him from the 98th Battalion headquarters.
It wasn't just the commanders of the three battalions. There were also Jiang Fangzhen, Yang Hongyu, and the twelve squad officers of the three battalions. Other than Jiang Fangzhen, who was new, the rest were Li Donghan's confidants.
They either had a very deep relationship, or Li Donghan appreciated them and promoted them. The kindness of knowing them was not to be trifled with.
Everyone had a smile on their faces. Li Donghan had been promoted, and the position of 49 assistants was about to be in his hands.
This also meant that their positions could be promoted again! It all depended on Li Donghan's arrangements!
"Cheng Yun, you will be the leader of the 1st Battalion at 97 lots. Hongyu will be in charge of the 1st Battalion at 98 lots!”Li Donghan said to Chen Chengyun and Yang Hongyu.
Shen Chengyun's expression didn't change much. He had only been transferred to a different position, but his actual official position hadn't changed!
Yang Hongyu, on the other hand, smiled happily. His original position was Li Donghan's adjutant and captain of his personal guards. Although he was also a prominent figure, he could not be compared to the 1st Battalion, let alone the most elite 1st Battalion! Li Donghan had held this position in the past.
"Yes, sir! My lord!" The two of them saluted and said!
Li Donghan nodded lightly. Yang Hongyu was his cousin, capable and trustworthy. Li Donghan had long wanted to mention him.
In the past, it was only because he did not have enough qualifications. He had only been here for 98 lots for more than a year. Moreover, 98 lots had already been filled, so he could only suppress him.
Now that he had the chance, it was naturally different!
As for Chen Chengyun, it wasn't that Li Donghan didn't trust him, but some things had to be prevented before they happened. When a person controlled an army for a long time, it would become a force to be reckoned with.
It could even develop to the point where Li Donghan could not do anything. Wasn't he an example? Therefore, Li Donghan wanted to nip this matter in the bud.
Changing the positions of his subordinates frequently and letting them control other armies would naturally eliminate the influence of the original army.
Although this would inevitably cause losses to the combat power of the troops, Li Donghan would rather suffer some losses than let his men have the chance to betray him.
It wasn't that Li Donghan had to burn the bridge after crossing it, but that he had to take precautions against such things. Someone would betray you only because you gave him the opportunity to betray you!
At the same time, Zhang Zhenpeng, the commander of the 2nd Battalion, was also transferred to the 97th lot and became the commander of the 3rd Battalion. The original commander of the 2nd Battalion was Wu Qiang.
Wu Qiang, like Chen Ligang, was from the old army and was very capable. He was also Li Donghan's confidant.
As for the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 97th Battalion, it was Chen Jianghe, the left team officer of the 3rd Battalion of the 98th Battalion. He was only 22 years old and was not from a proper military academy, nor was he from the old army.
Instead, it was a student who had been studying at the Capital Academy, whose family had suddenly changed and had decided to join the army.
Because she was a student, she quickly caught Li Donghan's attention. Coupled with her ability, she was able to sit in her current position.
As for the two battalions of the artillery standard, Li Donghan handed it over to Cheng Ziyi and Ma Zheng. Cheng Ziyi graduated from the artillery department of the Tianjin Military Academy, while Ma Zheng was originally an artillery soldier in the old army. Previously, he was also a 98-mark team officer!
Just like that, the positions of the six battalions were confirmed. The first battalion of the 97th lot was led by Shen Chengyun, the second battalion was led by Chen Jianghe, and the third battalion was led by Zhang Zhenpeng!
The 1st Battalion of the 98th Battalion was led by Yang Hongyu, the 2nd Battalion was led by Wu Qiang, and the 3rd Battalion was led by Chen Ligang!
Artillery standard one battalion in charge of Cheng Ziyi, two battalions in charge of Ma Zheng!
As for the other two positions, it wasn't up to Li Donghan to decide. After all, he was just a standard leader now and didn't have that much power.
Even if Li Donghan became the commander of the 49th Association, it was not something he could decide. It must have been in Fengshan's hands. The commander belonged entirely to the high-ranking officers, and it was impossible for Li Donghan to make his own arrangements.
However, even if Fengshan arranged for others to take on these three roles, Li Donghan did not care at all. A high official position did not mean that his words were effective.
The low-ranking officers were all Li Donghan's men. The entire 49th Association was under Li Donghan's control. The others coming here would not change anything!
After deciding on the eight belts, the remaining ones were the team officers and the tent heads. This was a huge gap. The 4th platoon officer position in Section 98 had been transferred away. Section 97 and the artillery section were completely empty shells.
With so many vacancies, Li Donghan had to personally handle them. The lower the rank of officer, the more Li Donghan would be able to control the army. He would not borrow manpower.
Fortunately, he had personally created the 98 lots. He could even call out the names of most of the soldiers and quickly drew up a list.
Some of the original platoon leaders (platoon leaders) were promoted to team officers (company commanders). Of course, some of the original team officers were also transferred during this process!
Just like that, the three target skeletons were basically completed. The rest was to recruit soldiers, which was left to Jiang Fangzhen.
The 98th mark was a special recruitment office. After unified training, they were assigned to the various battalions. This was set up by Li Donghan in order to remove the recruitment rights of the generals under him.
The scale of the recruitment was simply too large. After the recruitment, they could only be immediately assigned to the various battalions for individual training.
Such a large-scale transfer of generals would cause 98 units to be severely injured, but Li Donghan could only carry it out ruthlessly.
After all, there was still quite a bit of risk if they only relied on the 98 bids. There were still a few months before the Wuchang Uprising.
Ninety-eight units could almost recover their combat power, and ninety-seven units could also form an army. This level was completely worth Li Donghan's determination to transfer ninety-eight units of strength.
Li Donghan did believe in the so-called quality rather than quantity. However, that was only when there was a large-scale force as the foundation. There was strength in numbers. Sometimes, this was what was needed!
But apart from the 98 bids, Li Donghan had no other power in his hands. He was not willing to take this risk!
After all, once the Guangzhou Uprising was successful, Li Donghan would also need to expand his army on a large scale. If he acted early, he could reduce the damage to the army later!
A mixed association was far from enough for the entire eastern Guangdong.
Li Donghan's ambition was not limited to this!
After everyone had left, Li Donghan called Chen Chengyun and the other people who had been transferred over to talk to them.
After all, he had seen his subordinates, who were of lower rank than him, suddenly rise up and be on equal footing with him, while his position had not been promoted!
Even though they didn't seem to care, it was inevitable that they would feel uncomfortable in their hearts. It was just that they would completely obey Li Donghan's orders!
Li Donghan would not ignore their feelings either. He even hinted to them that he would give them priority when they were promoted next time.
He wanted to appease them. In short, as a qualified officer, he had to consider many things about his subordinates!
