If you don't know firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Zhu Youlang is now slowly forcing himself to know more fields.

He doesn't necessarily need to be specialized, but he must be knowledgeable.

Only if you are knowledgeable will Zhu Youlang speak everywhere, so as not to be deceived.

At present, what Zhu Youlang pays the most attention to is the procurement of cotton clothes.

Winters in Wuchang are very wet and cold, and it feels very uncomfortable to walk outside.

Zhu Youlang hopes that every soldier will have a set of cotton clothes, so that they can easily survive this cold winter.

He estimated that the Qing army would not attack Wuchang in the short term. The re-battle between the two sides will be after the beginning of spring.

This left the Ming army with precious time to recuperate.

Since the Kui Eastern Crusade, the Ming army has been fighting.

Because it has been maintaining a winning streak, many problems have been covered up under the siege.

These problems are nothing in the case of victory and will not be highlighted.

But once you lose the battle, it will quickly break out and even counterattack.

Zhu Youlang definitely can't wait until there is a problem to solve it, but to take precautions.

It is best to identify problems in advance and solve them.

This involves the part of psychological adjustment.

The soldiers have been living a military life in the barracks for a long time, and their nerves are tense all the time.

Zhu Youlang felt the need to guide him so that the soldiers could relax.

Psychological counseling is a solution, but now Zhu Youlang has no professionals. It can only be put on hold for the time being.

Zhu Youlang felt that a literary and artistic team could be set up, and the literary and artistic team would perform programs to make the soldiers relax.

This training time will not be too long, and the results will be fast.

Best for the current situation.

Moreover, the art team can also play the role of public opinion propaganda and perform some performances among the people.

In their spare time, the art team came to the bustling street market to carry out a series of propaganda performances, and cooperated with the Huangming Daily to let the people of the Han family see the love of the emperor and the tyranny of the Manchu Dynasty.

There is no harm without comparison, and the people will definitely make the right choice.

Zhu Youlang came to Li Dingguo to discuss the matter, and Li Dingguo patted his chest to express his support.

In fact, Li Dingguo didn't know what the literary team was, but when he heard the Son of Heaven say that he could relax the soldiers, he felt that he could give it a try.

Li Dingguo, who has been leading troops all year round, is very aware of the distress of soldiers.

The conditions of the generals were better, but the soldiers were miserable.

If you don't have a way to deal with it and a way to vent, there will be problems.

Li Dingguo's method of dealing with it is very similar to that of other generals, that is, to suppress it with strict military regulations.

But he also knows that this is not a way to go on in the long run, maybe it's okay usually, but when something happens, it's a big deal.

Ying Xiao even mutinied, that was no joke.

Li Dingguo really wanted to see the effect of this literary team.

On the scope of recruitment of members of the art team, Zhu Youlang and Li Dingguo had a heated discussion.

Zhu Youlang believes that the scope can be opened up, and both male and female soldiers can be recruited.

The recruited soldiers belong to the army and live a military life with the soldiers.

Li Dingguo felt that it was inconvenient for female soldiers to be in the barracks.

After all, the army is a place where wars are fought, and even the firefighters are all men.

There is a difference between men and women, and it is easy to cause gossip when dry wood and fire together.

These soldiers are all singles, and there is no guarantee that there will be no problems.

Zhu Youlang thought about it carefully, and it did make sense.

In this era, the concept of male and female defense is still very prevalent.

It is not easy to reverse this notion in a short period of time.

Even if it was the original camp and the western camp, the wives and children would be organized into an old camp separately to avoid soldiers and their families from meeting each other directly. What I am afraid of is that personal feelings interfere with the marching plan.

If left unchecked, the consequences are severe.

Even in Peking Opera, at the beginning, men played female roles in reverse.

But when he thought that the female characters of the literary team were all played by men, Zhu Youlang was a little embarrassed.

We can only change people's stereotypes slowly, and we can't rush things. After all, change is a process.

"Have you heard, the army is going to recruit literary and artistic soldiers."

"What do you mean by a literary soldier?"

"It's singing. Do you understand singing? ”

"Ah, the singer. Isn't that a sling? ”

"That's different, literary and artistic soldiers are recognized by the imperial court."

"Do the literary and artistic soldiers also have to live in the barracks?"

"Of course, literary and artistic soldiers are also soldiers. Have you ever seen a soldier who doesn't live in a barracks? ”

"Do you live with the soldiers or with the firefighters?"

"It's not all together, it's a separate camp, it's called a literary team!"

"The art team... It's a weird name. ”

"Hey, it's always like that. It's good to get used to it. ”

"Since it's a singing, then the treatment of this literary soldier is definitely not good?"

"That's not it, although it's not as good as the soldiers, but the literary and artistic soldiers also have one or two silver a month, which is not less. And it's great to have meat to eat at once, and you don't have to go to the battlefield to fight. ”

"That's right, there must be a lot of conscripts in this literary and artistic army."

"That's for sure, there is such a good thing, but anyone who can sing two sentences and has two voices wants to try it, it's just a head-break."

"Su Jiaban's little student who sings Kunqu opera is not popular, and people have also gone, and I heard that they are also aiming to be able to transfer their nationality."

The actor is a lowly person, and he belongs to the existence of the lower ninth rate. They may earn a lot of money, but they are discriminated against by the world just like prostitutes.

Their descendants are not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations, they are always despised coldly, and they cannot turn over for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, all the servants who earn money want to be able to leave their nationality and change their nationality.

No matter how much money they spend, they are willing. Because it's not just about themselves, it's about their future generations.

This popular student in the Su family class who sings Kunqu opera should belong to this type.

The court and His Majesty opened a door for them, and they naturally had to push it.

Even if the art team didn't recruit them in the end, they worked hard and won't regret it.

Once successful, they will be able to wash away their untouchables and become good citizens. Their children and grandchildren will also be able to study and take the imperial examination, and their lives will have hope.

This was all given to them by the Son of Tomorrow, and it was also something that the Qing court could not give to them.

At this point, they unconditionally supported the Ming army and the Ming Dynasty.

"Isn't it easy to be recruited on his terms?"

"Not necessarily. I heard that the military review is very strict. Not only will you be judged, but your parents and your ancestors will be judged! Even the eighteen generations of ancestors will be picked up for you! ”

"Shhh It's terrifying, isn't it? ”

"Isn't that afraid that some Tartar spies will get involved? After all, this literary soldier also has to stay in the barracks, get along with the soldiers day and night, and if he finds any important military information and goes back to tell the Tartars, won't the Tartars be able to attack in a targeted manner? ”

"That's right, it's always right to seek stability."

"Hehe, I heard that this art troupe not only performs for soldiers, but also performs in the market in their spare time. We've got a good ear. ”
