266 Female soldiers
When Zhang Mingwei came to the women's camp, he naturally had an idea to resettle these women.
On the makeshift platform, looking at the frightened faces below, Zhang Mingwei said to them: "Now that you are free, if you have a place to go, you can report it, and the government will arrange for you to go where you want to go." ”
His words were passed on by his subordinates to the outside for the women who were very concerned outside.
However, these women who were robbed by thieves are basically ruined and killed, so where can they go? Besides, even if there is a relative or friend who can take refuge, but after being plundered by the thieves, his innocence has been tarnished, and he has gone to the place, it is estimated that life will be very sad.
Therefore, after Zhang Mingwei finished speaking, although he didn't listen to the responses of the women below, he could basically see what their answers were by looking at their faces.
This situation is not surprising at all. Zhang Mingwei thought in his heart, so he spoke again: "If there is no place to go, then I plan to select some of them to be soldiers, and the rest will take the lead in pairing with the soldiers of Juntun to live a stable life." Of course, all of this is your own volition. ”
Hearing his words, everyone who heard it was shocked by his words. Even those soldiers who passed the word thought that they had heard it wrong, so they all turned their heads to look at Xingguo Gong, thinking in their hearts, choose female soldiers?
In Chinese history, there were indeed female soldiers. However, most of the so-called female soldiers are actually just personal guards for female generals. Fighting on the battlefield has always been a man's business, and women go away.
For a while, many people were a little misunderstood, and thought that Xingguo Gong was going to choose a personal female soldier, but how many people could he want?
Besides, isn't there already a group of female soldiers around Guogong? Don't they all stand in the identity of the national prince, do they still think that there are not enough women?
At this time, many women actually came to a conclusion that these men are all virtuous!
Looking at their appearance, Zhang Mingwei knew that they had misunderstood, so he said with a smile: "I guess you don't know yet, let me introduce you, Princess Kunxing!" ”
As he spoke, he pointed to Zhu Yujiao beside him, dressed in a military uniform, and if he didn't know, he would really think that Zhu Yujiao was his personal guard.
When they heard that the young female general turned out to be Princess Kunxing, everyone was surprised.
That's a princess, a golden branch and jade leaf, why did she come to the army?
Zhang Mingwei didn't need them to figure out the cause and effect, but continued: "I'm going to select two thousand female soldiers and put them under the command of Princess Kunxing!" ”
As soon as these words came out, even Zhu Yujiao herself was stunned.
Zhang Mingwei hadn't talked to her beforehand, and when she suddenly said that she was going to lead 2,000 female soldiers, she was excited.
has been with Zhang Mingwei for a few days, and under the teaching of Zhou Liu, for the battlefield battle, especially the female general Qin Liangyu as an example, to be honest, Zhu Yujiao also wants to become a famous general on the battlefield, like Qin Liangyu and Mu Guiying.
However, she also thought of a question, even if it was Qin Liangyu, it was not a female soldier, Mr. wanted to give himself two thousand female soldiers, what does this mean?
That's what she thought, and so did the women down there. One by one, they are powerless, and they want to go to the battlefield, which is too strong for a strong man! Thinking about going to the battlefield to fight with those male soldiers, they all lost their faces.
"Sir, can I choose for myself?" When Zhu Yujiao heard this, she immediately asked, "Sister Zhou has taught me, I will definitely be able to pick out good female soldiers."
Zhang Mingwei listened, turned his head to look at her, and then at Zhou Liu behind her, and finally shook his head and said, "Wait until I'm done!" ”
Then he turned back and said to the women below who did not dare to speak, but many of them had frightened expressions: "If you are a soldier, you will be paid according to the salary of the cavalry. Of these, 1,500 were health soldiers and 500 were literary and artistic soldiers. ”
Hearing this, all the women were puzzled, what does it mean, what is a sanitary soldier, and what is a literary soldier? Although they were really looking forward to paying the cavalry, they didn't know what they were going to do!
But Zhu Yujiao understood a little meaning. The health soldier should be the kind she used to take female soldiers to care for the wounded, and she had actually heard from her husband before. But what is a literary soldier?
Of course, Zhang Mingwei knew that they would be confused, after all, this was something that had never happened before. Therefore, he explained: "The health soldier is actually the branch of the army that takes care of the wounded soldiers. This includes treating injuries, dressing wounds, and helping injured soldiers recover. Regarding the knowledge of Langzhong, there will be someone to teach you how to do it! ”
Speaking of this, he pointed at Zhu Yujiao and said, "In fact, the female soldiers under the princess are already doing this. Let me tell you, the most respected branch of the army today is not the cavalry, nor my personal guards, but these sanitary soldiers! ”
Hearing this, the women below turned their heads to look at the female soldiers behind Zhang Mingwei, as well as Princess Kunxing. The health soldiers, to put it bluntly, are taking care of people. You don't have to go to war, and you can still be respected. Realizing this, they immediately remembered that they had the same salary as the cavalry, and suddenly, in the eyes of many people, hope and desire were immediately ignited.
They have nowhere to go, and if they can get such a job, it will be the best!
Zhang Mingwei only paused slightly, and then explained to them: "As for literary and artistic soldiers, they are soldiers who sing songs and songs to boost morale. ”
When they heard this, most of the women didn't want to hear it, and they wanted to become health soldiers. This thing of singing, first say no, and they don't believe it, singing songs to those generals can still boost morale? Some people even wonder if this literary soldier changed his tactful way of saying it, and finally let them do the same kind of thing?
Even Zhu Yujiao listened to it, and her face was puzzled. However, she has been by Zhang Mingwei's side for a long time and knows that Zhang Mingwei is not that kind of person, so she doesn't speak, and is ready to listen and talk.
"You should have all heard the songs sung in unison by the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, right?" Zhang Mingwei continued to talk to them, and snorted a few times: "The wind is roaring, and the horse is howling to protect the whole Daming." ”
The simple lyrics were sung at once, and then he asked aloud, "Isn't it simple?" Literary and artistic soldiers should sing this kind of similar song to the officers and men of the whole army. I have also prepared two other songs, which you will sing to the whole army when the time comes. ”
"The first one is the three disciplines and eight points of attention, which is to tell all the soldiers that now everyone is an official of the imperial court, and the military discipline is strict, and the people must not be disturbed." Of course, Zhang Mingwei will not copy the lyrics of later generations, and the content that does not conform to the current situation of this era has been adapted.
The reason why I mention this matter now is because after the reorganization of Luo Rucai's subordinates, the main force of the imperial court officials and army has actually become more artificial to recruit An. At this time, military discipline should be attached great importance and emphasized.
The best way to emphasize military discipline is actually to learn from later generations, and make up songs about what should not be done and what should be done, so that all officers and men in the army can remember it.
This point, in fact, is not exclusive to later generations, Qi Jiguang has done this.
Zhang Mingwei continued to say loudly: "The second song is called unity is strength, and it is also very simple, you will learn it, and let everyone know that only when everyone unites can we end this troubled era, create a peaceful and prosperous world, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."
Needless to say, this unity is strength is also adapted. It is necessary to let the soldiers who were originally thieves know, and also let those local officials and gentry and the people of those places know that if you want to return to Taiping, you must not only rely on the emperor and the regular army of the imperial court to work hard, but you must work together at the grassroots level of society to make Taiping return to the world as soon as possible!
The army that Zhang Mingwei wants, in addition to them for the glory of their ancestors, also wants them to know that what they are doing is something meaningful and worthy of their efforts, whether it is for themselves, as well as their descendants, relatives and friends!
Why fight! This is an indispensable part of the military spirit!
After talking about it, Zhang Mingwei even sang it in public.
In this day and age, singing may be an inferior thing. However, now these women see that they can sing it in public with the dignity of the country. Not only that, but these lyrics are all high-spirited and interesting.
Suddenly, the eyes of these women lit up, especially those from official families.
After Zhang Mingwei finished singing, he said: "I just gave two examples, in the future, I still need literary and artistic soldiers to think and create, the purpose is to boost the morale of the army, so that the soldiers are loyal to the country and fearless." You can dig up the deeds of those loyal and brave soldiers, and you can sing about them, or you can turn the experience of being poisoned by thieves into an easy-to-understand opera, so that this kind of tragedy will not be repeated."
In one breath, Zhang Mingwei gave a lot of examples, which opened up the cognition of these women at once. It turns out that there are so many things to do as a female soldier, and these things are so important!
At this moment, many people realized that they were still very useful, no worse than those men!
Seeing that it was almost over, Zhang Mingwei didn't say anything more, turned his head to Zhu Yujiao and said: "You said that you want to choose by yourself, then you can choose, 1,500 health soldiers, 500 literary and artistic soldiers, what exactly do you do, I have already said, just choose according to this purpose." ”
Zhu Yujiao nodded excitedly when she heard this, and then she suddenly approached Zhang Mingwei's ear and asked in a low voice, "Sir, will there be such female soldiers in the future?" ”
"Of course!" Zhang Mingwei nodded when he heard this, and then saw that Zhu Yujiao seemed to be even more excited.
At this time, I don't know why, Zhang Mingwei's mind suddenly flashed the figure of the Soviet health worker in the Great Patriotic War, who braved the rain of bullets to rescue the wounded on the battlefield.
