Jagged Warlord

In one month, Li Mohan's SS recruited [-] new recruits. During this period, Mayor Liu, Jiang Rong and Xie Wukui all wanted to recruit their relatives, but most of them were rejected by Li Mohan.Li Mohan only left behind a young man recommended by Mayor Liu.His name was Liu Shijie, the nephew of Mayor Liu, and he had studied in the Artillery Department of the No. [-] Army Middle School.

The Army High School is a new type of army school established by the Qing government during the Guangxu period. It is part of the system of primary school, middle school, military officer school (not established), and university school.Four army middle schools were set up across the country, under the management of the Ministry of the Army, with a two-year schooling system.After graduation, the students will be divided into infantry, horse, artillery, military, and baggage teams as army enlistees.The Army No. 940 Middle School is located in Jiangsu, with a quota of [-] students, recruiting graduates from each Army Primary School in Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong.

In [-], when the revolutionary situation was developing rapidly and the whole country was shaken, Zhang Renjun, governor of Liangjiang, was worried about the riots of officers and soldiers in the Ninth Town, so Zhang Xun, the leader of the old green camp "braided soldiers", guarded Nanjing, and moved the Ninth Town of the New Army to a distance of [-] miles away from Nanjing. Moling Pass.Classes in the army's middle and primary schools were suspended, and students were ordered to return to their places of origin and not allowed to stay in Nanjing.

So Liu Shijie returned to his hometown, and has been following Mayor Liu ever since.Because mayor liu was raised by his elder brother, and his elder brother left early, so mayor liu has always treated liu shijie as his own son.

Li Mohan asked some basic military knowledge, and he answered them fluently.Let him try to drill a team of recruits, and he does it well.In view of the current shortage of professional military personnel, Li Mohan directly made him an officer.

The Ministry of the Army assigned Li Mohan a regiment with about 500 troops.But Li Mohan actually only recruited about 500 troops.The SS had two battalions. Li Mohan himself served as the commander of the first battalion, and Ma Qian'an served as the commander of the second battalion; He Feng and Liu Shijie served as platoon leaders respectively.

At the same time, in order to further strengthen the control of the SS, Li Mohan also added a ceremony for recruits to take an oath. During the oath, the recruits faced a large portrait of Li Mohan and recited the oath aloud: I swear, I will obey Li Mohan's orders unconditionally, as a brave soldier. Soldiers are always ready to go through fire and water.

Soldiers who have not been trained cannot go to the battlefield, but it is obviously impossible for Li Mohan to train 800 soldiers by himself. The feasible way is to train the officers first, and then the officers will train other soldiers.

In the first stage of training, Li Mohan prepared a classroom and conducted basic training for officers: stand up, sit down, and repeat over and over again.Finally he asked the officers to stand outside the classroom door, and after he gave the signal, the officers ran back to their seats and sat down.For a good job, Li Mohan recorded the time, from the first 1 seconds to the last ten seconds.And all it takes is ten minutes of practice.

Then Li Mohan went one step further.He began to tell the officers some of his thoughts and experiences about combat, such as: bring more ammunition, which is the cheapest personal insurance.Pay attention to your rate of fire during firefights, or you will quickly run out of ammo, which often happens in worst-case scenarios;

Another example is avoiding getting close to strange objects, because it will attract enemy fire.Likewise, do not hide behind prominent bushes, rocks, wall corners, and other prominent landmarks;

Another example is not to walk along the top of hills or ridges, and avoid walking in open areas.

Then Li Mohan asked the officers to discuss, but they must follow strict rules: those who want to speak must stand up, stand at the table, say "report" first, and then speak after being allowed.The speech must be concise and clear.Anyone who is absent-minded and careless when listening to someone's speech or answering has to answer it again, or even repeat it over and over again.

The officers were reserved at first, but then they became more vocal, with unique insights and clear answers.It is no longer just those old faces who ask and answer questions, and the level of both questions and answers has been amazingly improved.

After several days of training like this, when Li Mohan stepped into the classroom, he was greeted by silence.All officers sat upright in their seats, including the veteran Ma Qian'an, although no one asked for it.Their rapt attention and their expressions were full of anticipation, and no one whispered to each other.Li Mohan understood that they were waiting for his arrival.

In the second stage, Li Mohan began to instill in them the concept of "discipline forges strength" and "unity forges strength". Four or ten minutes later, when the lecture was over, Li Mohan made a gesture, raising his right hand flat and straightening his five fingers.

"Soldiers of the SS, starting today, this hand gesture has become the iconic hand gesture of our collective. Whether you are in the barracks or outside the barracks, when you meet each other, you must use this hand gesture to greet each other." Li Mohan said loudly :"do you understand?"

"Understood." The voice of the answer was neat and loud, and Li Mohan's order was well implemented. Whether it was an officer or a soldier, or whether it was in the barracks or outside the barracks, everyone greeted each other with this gesture when they met.

In the third stage, Li Mohan distributed cards to all the officers, three of which had a red cross on them.

Li Mohan told the officers: "Those who have obtained these three cards are entrusted with a special mission: to report those who do not abide by the regulations of our SS, including those who are suspicious of the SS and our companions Xincun."

Afterwards, Li Mohan began to give an impassioned speech, just like when he was training newcomers in Blackwood Company.He started from the Opium War and talked about the burning and killing of the Eight-Power Allied Forces. He was sad for his motherland and his compatriots, and at the same time he was proud of these officers.He also told the officers that they should be proud of their unity, they should be proud of themselves, because the country needs young people like them to throw their heads and blood.

After an impassioned speech, many officers were moved to tears.Immediately afterwards, the wave of whistleblowing came.Li Mohan only appointed three officers to report critics and opponents.In the end, more than [-] people came, and the content of the report was also varied, ranging from doubts about Li Mohan's authority, to outsiders pointing fingers at the SS.

Soon, the unsteady people in the SS were quickly isolated by their peers until they could not bear the pressure and automatically quit or transformed.In the end, all the SS members have worshiped Li Mohan as gods, and every order Li Mohan issued will be carried out without compromise.There was unprecedented solidarity between soldier and soldier, soldier and officer, officer and officer.Ever since, the training efficiency of the SS has increased at an alarming rate.
