Chapter 317

"According to Yu Eshui: A good Mongolian horse is one thousand guan. The inferior one is [-] guan. A mule is [-] guan." Wu De said with a smile, "Tell me about it. Just now These horses, how much your ranch is worth."

"It's so powerful!" Whether it was Wu Nanhai, Yang Baogui or Nick, they were shocked when they heard this quotation.

"So—" Wu De said, "The thing about the ranch should at least wait until the bandit suppression operation is over. In addition, we are also preparing to take over Dongchun Village. After everything is settled, it will not be too late for you to build the ranch. At least it will be safer."

"What kind of place is this?" After D-Day, people like Nick basically lived between Bopu and Lingao, completely ignorant of these places.

"A small village at the foot of Mt. Viya." Wu De knew where Mt. Viya was, and they probably didn't know. After coming down, it can be used as a stronghold to protect traffic."

"When did you start suppressing the bandits?"

"It's a secret," Wu De smiled. "Actually, I can't hide it from you in the South China Sea. You will know it when you prepare the military rations. Now the mud legs are still training. It will take another month or two."

The yellow bear was holding a thin cane in his hand, and was yelling at his subordinates: "Turn left! Turn right! Turn back! You idiots!..." As he spoke, he kicked on the ground again. A recruit's ass who turned in the wrong direction.The unlucky guy immediately rolled in the mud, stood up quickly, and looked aggrieved, because no one could understand what he said-- Huang Xiong's Mandarin was very "Ming Dynasty characteristics", yes For the locals in Lingao, it is like a foreign language.

There is no time to teach Mandarin anymore, so Xi Yazhou simply adopted the method of "learning while training", allowing recruits to learn to accept orders in Mandarin during training.Maybe it's more profound to learn.

After the military review of the Political Consultative Conference, the soldiers of the teaching battalion ushered in the awarding ceremony. According to their performance and ability level in the army, most of them were awarded the rank of corporal, and a few became sergeants.A few of the best were selected for officer training.The original indigenous squad leaders were all promoted to officers this time.Huang Xiong became a second lieutenant during this promotion.

The injured and disabled personnel in previous battles received severance pay and retired, and were assigned to work in different departments according to their remaining labor capacity. Those with limited mobility went to various departments and factories as janitors.

A very small number of soldiers in the teaching battalion were not immediately promoted to sergeants, nor did they participate in officer training—they participated in a short-term training course held by the Political Security Administration in Bairen City.Training and brainwashing for political defense missions were carried out.

Those selected for the training are all politically devoted to the time-traveling group. After participating in the training, they are still incorporated into the army with the rank of sergeant. Each battalion has ten such sergeants, called the "ten-man regiment". Consolidate the troops, prevent fleeing, defecting to the enemy, and preventing spies from entering the army.This system has been secretly developed in the teaching camp era.The identities of these people are kept secret, and even Xi Yazhou does not know which people are members of the "group of ten".

Sergeants first, and then gradually expand to ordinary soldiers. According to the plan of the Political Security Administration: In the future, a "ten-man regiment" system will be established in each company, so that each squad has a "political fighter" to form Form a staggered system of checks and balances with officers, sergeants, and soldiers committees to tightly control the army.

A large number of recruits then began to build their own barracks under the command of the sergeants.They belonged to the subordinates of these newly promoted sergeants according to the establishment and began training.According to the problems in various aspects of the first training camp, the Military Commission revised the entire training program and combat manual.Further highlight queue, shooting and field work training.Especially the formation training, which will be presided over by Lin Shenhe to conduct a special training on the change of infantry formation in the 19th century.

In addition to the original infantry training battalion, the Army is expected to organize a standard six-company infantry battalion.

A special forces teaching team was set up: one company for communications, one company for engineers, and one company for luggage, and a team of carrier pigeons—compared with hot-tempered horses, carrier pigeons breed faster.

炮兵教导队增编了一个陆军野战炮兵连。在炮兵工作领导小组的建议下，陆军野战炮兵统一了装备，只装备三种基本的火炮：12磅M1857式加农炮、M1841式12磅山地榴弹炮和M1841式24磅榴弹炮。野战炮兵编制下的各种杂式火炮全部回炉。

The General Staff carefully divided the troops into various control areas of the crossing group for training.The maximum size of each place does not exceed one battalion.From Ma Qianju's point of view, in a place like Lingao, it is almost enough to operate with the infantry battalion as the basic unit.Lin Shenhe also held the same view. In his training and combat plan, he clearly stated that the basic unit of the infantry is the battalion, and the basic unit of the cavalry, artillery, engineers, and heavy troops is the company.Groups are only used as synthetic units.

The Navy's sailors have also expanded by one company.Originally the Admiralty was intended to be expanded into a Naval Battalion, but the Navy's ship sailors and fort artillery took up most of the recruits allocated to the Navy.In addition, the Military Commission also made it very clear that the navy does not need to expand its land-based combat power for the time being, and it should concentrate on developing ship forces.

After Huang Xiong became a second lieutenant, he was promoted to platoon leader.Although Huang Xiong didn't know much about the military system in the 20th century, he could easily understand that he had returned from the ranks of "soldiers" to the ranks of "officials".This lowest-ranking "Second Lieutenant" is probably an officer like Chief Qian and Chief Ba in the Ming army.

However, the officers of the Australians are obviously not as nourished as the officers of the Ming Dynasty-this is not about money, but about domineering. Originally, when he was a thousand generals, he was almost the same as the Tu Emperor. The soldiers under him, Basically with the officer's servant.But here in Australia, as a sergeant or an officer, he has the right to manage his soldiers strictly in accordance with military regulations and disciplines, but things like abusing soldiers and asking soldiers for property for no reason are absolutely not allowed here.Each company has a soldier's committee, and often the company will go down to preach the rights of soldiers.Once a soldier "complains" or "complains" according to the new style, the soldiers' committee will send someone to conduct a secret investigation and report the results to the "head".The fate is self-evident - Huang Xiong knew that a sergeant had been promoted and asked his recruits to buy meat and wine to congratulate him. After being discovered by the Soldiers Committee and reported to him, his salary was deducted for three months and he was demoted to the first class soldier.

Tian Liang was also promoted. His performance was average, so he was only promoted to corporal and became the squad leader of a new recruit squad. He led nine recruit brothers to drill every day.His Mandarin is not standard, and he will speak his native dialect when he is in a hurry.But Tian Liang was very happy to be able to put a cloth plate on his bare shoulders and sew three yellow bars on his shoulders. Now he is no longer an ordinary soldier, and he can be considered a "sergeant" in size.Military pay was also increased.He has always wanted to go to Guo Fu and let her see what he looks like now.But the Bairen General Hospital where she works is not allowed to come in and out casually, and the training tasks of the troops are extremely busy - in addition to training, they have to spare two days a week to participate in labor, and the troops are assigned to various construction sites by company to work.The work, the training, and the cultural and political studies every night make people exhausted, and there is basically no time to think about other things.

Although every day besides training is working, rumors of a war have already spread among the officers.Sensitive people across the world have already known the next goal from the propaganda of climate change-suppressing bandits.

Since a month ago, the training content of the troops has changed, allowing the troops to fight in small groups in the mountains, to train the combat capabilities of the mountains, and to strengthen long-distance precision shooting.In addition to the change of training content, the more obvious sign is that in the weekly political study, victims of bandits from all over the county began to appear. This group of people, old or young, wept on the stage, Crying to the soldiers all kinds of terrible things about being killed by bandits.Because most of the recruits are from Lingao, they have personally experienced the bandit aggression.Under the ingenious guidance of the "political fighters", many recruits also jumped onto the stage to lament the disaster of banditry, and the atmosphere was quickly mobilized.

So, I don't know who started it, and crooked "war letters" and "determination letters" began to appear on the blackboard newspapers of each company.

"Immediately publish a series of reports on local banditry in the Lingao Times." Ding Ding received a call from the Propaganda Department in the editorial department.

"Okay," Ding Ding quickly picked up the pencil, "What's the point of the report?"

"There are four points to note: [-]. It is clearly stated that the local banditry is a historical factor and has nothing to do with the current county magistrate; [-]. It is implied that the long-term banditry is related to some local gentry and subordinate staff; [-]. The focus is on the impact of banditry on the local The impact on people's livelihood; Fourth, it is not allowed to express or imply what attitude the Traveling Group will take towards the bandits."

"Understood." Ding Ding thought for a while, and scribbled a few ideas on the notebook.

"But I don't have any information, I need to find an interviewee..."

"Tomorrow, you can go to the intelligence committee to collect the materials. From now on, you will go to collect them once a week." The phone reminded, "We will arrange the interview, and call when the time comes."

"Got it." Ding Ding wrote like flying, writing non-stop.

"The proof before publishing must be submitted to the Propaganda Department for review. You must also participate at that time."

"I'll come."

"Except for the archived newspapers, the distribution of these newspapers must be arranged to ensure that most of them are distributed to the local people." The phone hung up.

"Is this going to suppress bandits!" Ding Ding said to himself.He didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly found someone to bring Zhou Dongtian to discuss the typesetting. As for compiling the manuscript, he naturally asked Du Wen to help - she has a unique combination and fabrication ability in using historical materials and materials.

He Ming, dressed in a neat first-year-style gray army uniform, walked into the combat conference room of the General Staff with a step of 80 centimeters.Everyone in the conference room stood up and saluted with a "swipe".

He Ming returned the gift. Although he was only in his early fifties, his hair was gray and shaved very short.Looks very energetic.

He didn't have any polite words: "Comrades, now hold the first work meeting on bandit suppression." After finishing speaking, he had to "swipe" to open the map curtain behind him. Covered with a wipeable transparent sheet.A lot of marks have been painted over with red and blue pens.

"Now, please inform the intelligence committee to report the Lingao bandits."

Luo Duo stood up and opened a thick folder in his hand.

"Comrades, the pamphlet in front of you is the comprehensive investigation report of our Social Work Department on the bandits in Lingao."

Immediately below there was the sound of leaflets being flipped through.

"...According to the comprehensive information from our various departments, the situation of bandits in Lingao is like this—"

The banditry in Lingao is very serious.In ancient society, the government had very weak control over the localities.There are often bandit activities in slightly remote places.Even during the so-called prosperous Kangxi and Qianlong years, there were a large number of bandit cottages in the Miaofeng Mountain area, which was only a hundred miles away from the capital.Lingao is located in the border area, and the population has been sparsely populated for a long time. Both the government and the local gentry have limited power to maintain social order.This makes banditry extremely rampant.

Luo Duo said: "According to our investigation, there are 50 gangs with more than 38 people who have been active for a long time in the county; seven gangs with more than 100 people, not including many household bandits who usually farm land and do bandits."

The number caused a commotion in the crowd.To know the actual population of Lingao, according to the estimates of the civil affairs department, it is about 8 to [-] people.There are so many bandits in a county with less than [-] people!

Due to the geographical environment, the activities of bandits here have the characteristics of collusion with pirates.Every time a pirate lands, there are bandits' connections, and the bandits' dens often become pirates' dens.And once the bandits are most urgently suppressed by the government or the militia, they will use pirate ships to go to sea to escape.It made it very difficult to suppress the bandits.It is not that the previous county magistrates have thought of ways, but their effects are very limited.Extensive formation of regiments and training of village bravery can only achieve limited local self-protection effects.

Travelers want to carry out social surveys in Lingao and carry out reforms in civil affairs and agriculture. Without a stable social order, it is impossible.It is unimaginable that every task force of the traversers has to arrange a large number of armed forces to escort them when they go to the countryside.The various infrastructures that will be built later cannot be built with gun towers along the line for soldiers to stand guard.
