The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 189 Military Academy Officially Opened

In February of the fifth year of the reign of Emperor Jingli, Song Yingkui, Ding Yumei, and Li Guoqian were cooking hot pot with luncheon meat made in the military factory in the main hotel of Yungu City in Taoyang Town.

Picking up a piece of luncheon meat, he was determined to eat it, and after eating it, Song Yingkui couldn't help but complain silently: I asked you to make it taste bad, but there is no need to make it so tasteless, right?
Adhering to the instructions of the Lord of the City to cook the lunch meat in an unpalatable way, Guo Kaifeng and others really lived up to their expectations.We have made something that makes people feel a little nauseous when smelling it.

They are also geniuses and actually thought of adding ghee to luncheon meat.Coupled with the unpalatable wheat bran and fat suet, it really smells bad and tastes bad.

In order to set an example and take the lead, Song Yingkui reluctantly asked people from the City Lord's Mansion to buy this thing, saying that he wanted to share joys and sorrows with the people and overcome the difficulties together.

Since the taste is so outrageous, I thought it might be better to cook it into a hot pot and mix it with other ingredients.As a result, the taste did not get better, but the quantity was much larger.

After finishing the hot pot, Song Yingkui said to Li Guoqian: "Your Machinery Research Institute will focus next on developing hydraulic machine tools and the bicycle I just designed. These two things are very important. The sooner they are successfully developed, the better." Okay. As for the machine tool, the biggest difficulty lies in the precision of manufacturing each workpiece, and the adjustment and improvement after the actual production will take time. As for the bicycle, the most difficult thing is how to realize the standardized production of the chain and the axle wheel In terms of durability. You must do a good job of coordination and communication, and discuss with me in a timely manner if you encounter problems."

"Don't worry, sir, I will make careful arrangements." Due to work reasons, Li Guoqian and Song Yingkui have interacted more frequently, and she is not very reserved now.

"Brother Kui, I want to do something for you, can you send me an errand too?" Ding Yumei couldn't help but feel disgusted when she saw Song Yingkui and Li Guoqian acting a little intimately at the dinner table, and started to work.

Originally, due to Li Guoqian's incident, Ding Yumei's status was expected to increase, but as a result, her own belly failed and she gave birth to a baby girl last year.As a result, the attitude of the young and old of the Song family towards her changed again, and the matter of becoming the first wife had to be put on hold for the time being.The old man of the Song family said: Wait until the baby is born.

Worried that Song Yingkui and Li Guoqian would get too close and that Li Guoqian would snatch her son, Ding Yumei was now wary of Li Guoqian.She believed that Li Guoqian's greatest advantage was doing errands for her men. In order not to lose the opportunity, she also had to have something to do.

"Let's do this. After that, you contact the female dependents in the army. You can form a clothing factory and help the military garment factory make military uniforms. Firstly, you will have something to do, and secondly, you can provide money to the military dependents. A way to bring in money will increase the income of every family in our army." Ding Yumei was illiterate and couldn't share any important tasks, but when people asked, Song Yingkui couldn't favor one thing over another.In order to get a bowl of water, she finally had to come up with the idea of ​​letting her take the military family members to make clothes.In the Yungu Army, most of the soldiers' families are at home, but recently many high-ranking military officials have brought their children to live in Taoyang Town.For example, Yang Shunan relocated his second wife to Taoyang Town.This old boy is also a great guy. At such an old age, his wife is still pregnant with a child.

As the environment stabilizes, it is expected that more military relatives will gather in Taoyang Town.This group of people is idle, and letting Ding Yumei take them to make military uniforms can be regarded as a serious job to solve employment and increase family income.

Thinking that military dependents would gather in Taoyang Town, Song Yingkui felt that it was necessary to issue a relevant policy.Can't all the family members of the soldiers in the army gather here in the end?Where has Taoyang City become?

"The generals are called here today to discuss two things. One is that now that the war has stabilized, general training must be restarted. General Yungu has formally established a general school, and officers of squad leader and above must take turns to attend the general school. The school started a three-month enrollment period. The positions of everyone above the squad leader were changed to temporary positions. Only after completing the assessment in March and receiving the general school graduation certificate can the positions be changed from temporary positions to full-time positions. Anyone in the military can No exceptions!
In addition, the General School Hall has also launched the recruitment of reserve officers. After you return, you will recommend soldiers who have performed meritorious service in the war to enroll. After passing the three-month assessment, they will be awarded the rank of reserve officers. In the future, if there are vacancies or the army expands, they will be selected from the reserve officers. Optional.The first phase of enrollment is 50 people. You will be recommended first, and then the city lord's office will organize the review and verification.In addition to being selected from the army, the General School Hall directly recruits thirty reserve officers from the common people. Those directly recruited must be literate and physically fit.

The second thing is the placement of military family members. Military officials above the deputy squadron level can bring their family members with the army, while military family members below the deputy squadron level stay in their hometowns and are not allowed to come to the army at will to disturb the morale of the military.In order to take care of the soldiers whose family members are unable to accompany the army, when there is no war, the soldiers can take one month's leave every year to go home and visit relatives. If the war interferes, the compensatory leave will be arranged after the war is over.

The family members accompanying the army will be concentrated in Taoyang, Yungu, and Shiping. The city lord's mansion will build houses for the officers and family members to accommodate them.In principle, the dependent area is only for military generals and their wives and children to live. If there are other special circumstances, they must be reported to the city lord's palace in advance and considered as appropriate.Generals who have family members accompanying the army can live in the dependent area as long as their work in the army is not affected.However, you must not delay your military service by returning to your dependent area to take care of your family. In principle, those who are leading troops or have war missions cannot leave their military service and go home. This must be done during vacation or outside of working hours.The specific regulations for these two matters will be discussed by Vice General Yang. "

Song Yingkui has always been dissatisfied with the regularization of the Yungu Army. In his opinion, the low quality of generals is a huge hidden danger.Previously, short-term training was also organized, but it is difficult to say whether it was effective.

There should be no war this year or in the short term, and the size of the army has also increased. We need to spare our energy to put this matter in order.In terms of the number of troops he leads, a squad leader is about the same as a squad leader in later generations of the army. Logically speaking, there is no need to go to a military school for discipline.However, the Yungu Army is small, and if the squad leader is not regarded as a formal officer, there will not be many officers who need discipline.Now that there is an opportunity, integrate them into the discipline system to prepare for future army expansion.

At this point, it is a bit out of date to be content with just being a small warlord. We have to prepare for a broader future.Song Yingkui did not intend to become a powerful force in the world in one fell swoop, but at this time his ambition had grown, and it was necessary to lay a solid foundation for the future.
