Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 153

After listening to Cheng Nuo's introduction, Zai Tao couldn't help but gasped, feeling that the temperature in the room dropped a lot in an instant.

"The dean wants to form a new army? In the current years, this is not a wise move. Besides, it is still in the power center of Sijiu City. The slightest disturbance will attract the attention of the public. If you are not careful, you may be killed." It's a disaster, you have to think twice."

"It is said that the most authentic twist in Tianjin is on the [-]th Street. Mr. Zai can try it first." Cheng Nuo handed over a piece of twist and said with a smile: "As for what you are worried about, it seems to me that it is not a problem at all. We It is janitors to be formed, not a new army."

Li Laosan also chimed in and said: "That's right, our husband has said it many times outside, just want to find a group of people to form the janitors of our Academy of Sciences, to guard the nursing home to protect the safety of these gentlemen, no It's going to be like being one of those army ruffians."

After receiving the twist, Zai Tao hesitated again and again, still puzzled, and said: "Then why should we follow the pattern of the army, just find three or five strong ones, it's not a problem to deal with ordinary thieves, why bother?" If you want to find these young people with weak bones, you have to make up for them."

Cheng Nuo had a mysterious smile on his face: "These days, the identities of bandit soldiers can be exchanged at any time, and the current situation is treacherous, maybe someday these converted soldiers will break in, and then the literati in the Academy of Sciences will , teach them how to defend themselves, bullets have no eyes."

Zai Tao suddenly became speechless: "This...it seems not impossible. Yesterday there was an army of braids, and today there may be a red-clothed army. It is hard to say whether there will be anything else tomorrow. Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts, regardless of love and hatred .”

Cheng Nuo took a snack by himself, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly: "The ancients said that it is better to prepare for the rain, and not to dig a well when you are thirsty. Right now, we have a staff of [-] people in the school work team. The scale of the new branch will continue to expand until the safety of our hospital does not need to be worried at all."

At this time, Zai Tao was nervous and excited, his palms were sweating non-stop, and he temporarily put aside the twist he was holding, secretly thinking about the possibility of the varsity team.

As the Minister of Imperial Guards back then, under Yuan Datou's coercion and lure, he had to hand over the command of the Imperial Guards. The Empress Dowager Longyu was furious, thinking that he had completely embarrassed the Manchu imperial family.

Later, facing Yuan Shikai's forced palace, the Empress Dowager Longyu asked Zai Tao at the imperial meeting: "You are in charge of the army, you know how our soldiers are."

The Empress Dowager Longyu asked him how his soldiers were doing, and she wanted to know from him what chances he had of winning if he chose to fight.But to everyone's disappointment, Zai Tao knelt on the ground and uttered a word without confidence: "The slave has trained in the army, but has never fought a war, so I don't know."

Because of this sentence, the elders and children of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were completely discouraged, and they had to issue an abdication edict in the name of Emperor Xuantong, officially announcing the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

So far, this incident has become a hurdle that Zai Tao will never get over.

So after facing Cheng Nuo's invitation, Zai Tao's excitement was far greater than his fear of the unknown.

"Dean Cheng, I mean if, if one day our varsity team suddenly changes its status and starts to become real soldiers, then we should adopt the German system or the Japanese system. We'd better start from the point of determination. Start preparations to prevent the sudden change of the military system in the future and affect the combat effectiveness."

Cheng Nuo laughed and said, "I wonder what the difference is between the two?"

It’s not a problem to hold twists all the time, Zai Tao simply put things aside: “These two are fundamentally different, for example, the German army is divided into four arms: infantry, artillery, cavalry, and engineering, each of which is an independent battalion. "

Cheng Nuo waved his hands and said with a smile: "We are only a varsity team in name now. To put it bluntly, it is used for defense. When we come up, we will set up a cavalry. What do outsiders think? Tell me."

"The dean said the same thing. Those who know are from our hospital, and those who don't know think we are rebels." After saying this, Zai Tao made himself laugh: "Talk about the team system, step by step The team is divided into left and right wings, and the wings are full of 4 battalions, with 4 teams in each battalion, 3 sentries in each team, 6 sheds in each sentry, and 12 soldiers in each shed.

Among them are commanders, gang commanders, leaders, sentry officials, sentry chiefs, supervisors, chiefs and deputy leaders, soldiers, guards, buglers, cooks, long husbands, etc., in addition to copywriters, committee members, doctors, and scholars ..."

After finishing the sentence, Cheng Nuo was almost dizzy. He really didn't expect that there were so many ways in it. He immediately wanted to directly transfer the military system of our army in the future, but after thinking about it, there was so much time in between. fully applicable.

Besides, the main trainer is still Zai Tao. If you want to implement the new system, you have to start with him. It will take a while to get used to it. It is better to use the old system first, and then gradually reform the system.

Putting this idea aside for the time being, Cheng Nuo asked curiously, "In that case, how many people are there in the whole camp?"

Zai Tao calculated carefully and gave an accurate figure: "If there are people in all formations, then the whole battalion will have a total of 1554 officers and soldiers."

Cheng Nuo was stunned. There are so many people, even if you add up all the people in the Academy of Sciences and multiply it several times, you can't reach this number.

Think about it carefully, what he wants is elite soldiers, not a large-scale integrated army, and there is no need to follow this model at all.

"The number of people is a bit too much. We don't need so many people. Let's talk about the daily system first." Cheng Nuo smiled.

When mentioning the Japanese system, the expression on Zai Tao’s face instantly became strange: “Actually, I’m not very familiar with the Japanese system. They all use the Beiyang Standing Army, the army, town, association, standard, battalion, team, platoon, and shed. To compile the sequence, the chief of the army is called the president, and there are about 1600 people in a battalion."

Cheng Nuo immediately understood why he looked at Zai Tao strangely. It turned out that it was the troops under Yuan Datou's command, no wonder he hesitated.

But having said that, he was called the president by his subordinates at that time, and it seems reasonable to want to be the president later.

Shaking his head, Cheng Nuo said seriously: "Let's use the moral system you are familiar with as the basic blueprint for the time being. We'll talk about it later when there are new changes. But having said that, we really only have a hundred people right now, which is far from the battalion system you mentioned. Let’s focus on elite soldiers first.”

Although a little discouraged for the time being, it's better than nothing, Zai Tao said firmly with his eyes: "Okay, expensive and fine are not expensive, and the scale of a hundred people is just right. If there are too many, I may not be able to adapt to it with my skills that have been neglected for many years now." .Since you can entrust me with such an important matter, Dean, I will definitely give you a perfect answer later."

Cheng Nuo said with satisfaction, "Very well, if you have a head in charge, things will be much easier to handle later. But you should also pay attention while training soldiers, try to pick out some more potential seedlings, and leave them to me." Keep it up, it will be of great use in the future."

Zai Tao wondered, "I don't know what the selection criteria are?"

Cheng Nuo explained: "Of course, the ones with better physical fitness and more active brains are the best soldiers among the best soldiers. As for the uses, you will naturally understand later."

Zai Tao nodded: "This is no problem, I will pay more attention to it later."

Cheng Nuo joked, pointing at the mahua on the table that the other party hadn't eaten, "Mr. Lai Zai has eaten too many high-end snacks, and I don't care about such small things, but that's okay, now is the day to select school workers. You, the person in charge, can go to Tianjin and pick the ones you like."

Zai Tao excitedly said: "Is it really up to me?"

Cheng Nuo said indifferently: "Of course, but the selection criteria have been set, and you can just pay attention to the rest."

As he spoke, he took out the standard documents he had prepared and handed them over.

Zai Tao couldn't wait to take it, and after just a glance, he recognized that it was improved from the standards of the Beiyang New Army, and he hesitated: "President, is our standard a bit high, I'm a little worried."

Cheng Nuo shook his head: "Rules are dead, people are alive, but we can't be too far behind, let alone we select a hundred people from so many victims, how can we do it without setting a high standard?"

When it comes to controlling people, Cheng Nuo has always been suspicious of people, and he is not suspicious of employing people.

It is because he believes in Zai Tao's talents that he dares to delegate power to him, but this is not delegating power without thinking. There must be a standard program, and none of them should be missing.

It's easy to say anything within the rules, but if it's outside the rules, then it's another Cheng Nuo who welcomes this person.

Immediately after the two discussed the selection criteria, Zai Tao said goodbye in a hurry and went straight to the disaster-stricken area in Tianjin.

Looking at the back of his friend going away, Li Laosan couldn't help being a little envious: "When will I be able to have today, my subordinates can manage dozens or hundreds of people, how majestic they are when they go out, and they can speak tough in front of children and mothers." some."

Cheng Nuo tidied up the box of mahua and pushed it in front of Li Laosan: "The old brand tastes good, take the rest back and feed the four children. These days, you have been running around Tianjin with us. I guess I'm pretty tired."

Li Laosan blushed and pushed the gift box back: "It is their blessing to be able to study with my husband. There is nothing that can't be tired. Besides, the baby's mother changes tricks all day long to make delicious food for them." Yes, there was no such condition in the past, isn't it all given by the husband, I can't accept this thing."

Cheng Nuo's face was intentional: "There is no blessing or no blessing. In our Academy of Sciences, no matter adults or children, as long as they pay, they will definitely reap them. Regardless of the young age of the four children, sometimes Treat them like adults, compared to hard work, this twist is nothing!"

"Sir, this is really inappropriate. If they want to eat, I will buy them directly..." Li Laosan still wanted to refuse.

Unexpectedly, this set of rhetoric did not impress Cheng Nuo: "You buy what you buy, and I buy what I buy. The two cannot be confused. Didn't you just say that you also want to control dozens of people? First, control the four little guys. Let's talk about it submissively.

I have something to do here, I will go to the editorial room in the front yard first, and when I come back and see Twist, I will turn my face and deny anyone. "

After saying this, Cheng Nuo got up and left the residence in the backyard, heading for the front yard.

Li Laosan was the only one left in the room, and he was a little worried looking at these twists, but since the husband had spoken, it was better to follow suit.

Gritting her teeth, she cleaned up all the gift boxes on the table, took them back to her room, and planned to distribute them to the four children, but she didn't expect that there was only Nidan in the room.

"Father, what are you holding here?" Ni Dan ran over bouncingly, shaking her croissant braid.

"This one, sir asked me to bring you some fried dough twist. It was specially brought back from Tianjin. He only ate one piece himself, and the rest is for you." Putting down the gift box, Li Laosan patted his daughter kindly. head of,
"Really! It's just that last time we were all greedy and insisted on buying a piece of twist for each of us. Last time I didn't taste the taste, so I was coaxed away by my brother." Ni Dan happily Bring your head closer.

After all, he was a child, so he was a little anxious, so he went up to help Li Laosan open the gift box.

Hearing his daughter's "complaint", Li Laosan's face suddenly changed: "What are you talking about, the dim sum was coaxed away by your brother again? Your brother has to use the sole of his shoe to smash his ass."

Realizing that she had said something wrong, Nidan stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and said to herself, brother, I'm sorry, why did you keep coaxing me.

But after all, it's her own brother, so she still tried her best to round up the words: "No, it's just that mine tastes bad, and my brother's tastes better. Later, we will eat it differently."

"Hmph, can I not know your brother? As soon as he sticks his ass, I know what shit I'm going to do, and I'll settle the score with him when I come back." Li Laosan said coldly, opened the gift box again, and said, "Your mother last time What about the pears you bought, look for them for me, I’ll wash a few and bring them to Mr.

Ni Dan happily ate the mahua with her mouth full: "It's still next to the kitchen water tank. My mother didn't say anything. No one dares to eat it. It's still there."

"Then let me tell you that mahua can be eaten, and you start to eat it. You only have your mother in your eyes, and you don't have your father." Li Laosan said with a dark face.

"Hey, I know dad loves me the most, so he won't care about these small things." Seeing that the situation was not good, Nidan quickly acted like a baby to his dad.

"Okay, okay, eat slowly, remember to save some for the other three, don't eat alone." Li Laosan's expression eased a lot, and he waved his hands and prepared to leave.

When he came to the kitchen, he picked out a few pears with the best appearance, washed them, put them on a plate, and brought them to Cheng Nuo's residence.

Put down the things in the middle, and tidy up again inside and out.

Originally, I wanted to go out after pushing the door, but I turned back and took out all the bedding on the bed, and took it to the sun to dry.

After everything was packed, it had been more than half an hour to go back.

When he returned to his room, he found that Nidan was still there, but there was not much twist left, so he immediately became angry.

"Didn't I tell you, don't eat alone, tell me how many are left here, can they share?"

Seeing that the old man was about to lose his temper, Nidan quickly explained: "I didn't eat alone, I just ate one."

Li Laosan asked: "What about the rest?"

"Here's the rest." While speaking, Nidan hurriedly opened a few oil-paper packages, and said aggrievedly, "One piece for my brother, one piece for Wen Cong, and one piece for Wen Hui."

Li Laosan's eyes instantly softened a lot: "What about yours?"

"Here, here." Pointing to the remaining gift box of twist, Nidan said softly: "I share with my parents."

Hearing this, Li Laosan's heart was about to melt at that time, and he hugged his daughter into his arms: "Silly girl, just take care of yourself, parents don't like this, don't chew it so hard. "

Nidan opened her eyes wide like a pair of brass bells, and said unconvinced: "Nonsense, last time I saw you pick up our leftover bones, and secretly gnawed on it."

Seeing his daughter dismantling it, Li Laosan blushed with embarrassment, and said forcefully: "Nonsense, I must have read it wrong. I just picked and rewarded the pair of weasels. That's stealing."

"Really, don't lie to me." Nidan hesitated.

"Of course it's true. When did I lie to you, dad? It's not all for your own good. Mr. said that you can only grow up if you gnaw your bones. I asked your mother to buy it for you, but it's a pity. Your dad and I Still don't like to eat." Li Laosan said cheekily.

"Okay, then I'll trust you for the time being, but I've divided the twist between the two of you, this time I have to eat it, and I have to watch you eat it." The child's emotions go up and down quickly, Nidan said with a smile.

Li Laosan had no choice but to eat mahua again in front of his daughter. He hugged his daughter and said with emotion: "Twist is delicious, but don't tell your mother sad things. She can't help and will Can't sleep."

Looking at the vicissitudes of the old father, Ni Dan seemed to understand.
