On October 3, the 49th year of Yongchang, Lin Ziran appeared in the barracks as usual to review the newly formed Eighth Infantry Battalion.

Although the autumn and winter seasons in Nanhai Prefecture are not cold, Lin Ziran still put on a thin coat.

When the Eighth Infantry Battalion marched by, Lin Ziran raised his hand and saluted.

After the review, Lin Ziran said to Wu Guanlin beside him: "Old Wu, this time has been hard! ”

Wu Guanlin said: "Humble duties are the kung fu of moving your mouth, and the real hard work is still those grassroots officers who train the troops every day!" ”

"Speaking of which, the lowly position is not as many times as you come to the training ground!"

Wu Guanlin said this is not bad, Lin Ziran came to the training ground almost every day to watch in person, and sometimes he would personally go down to the field to accompany the training, on the one hand, to let those officers below do their best not to engage in cheating, and on the other hand, it was also to let these troops establish personal loyalty to him during the training period.

During the period, Lin Ziran did all the trivial matters such as salary and even military uniforms.

Sometimes in order to pay the salaries of the soldiers of an infantry battalion, Lin Ziran can work all day to ensure that the salary that every recruit receives for the first time is paid by him Lin Ziran himself.

Although this seems to be very deliberate, the effect is not bad, at least all the soldiers of the supplementary brigade, especially those ordinary soldiers, know that it is Lin Ziran who pays them salaries, feeds them, and warms them, and not anyone else.

Especially not their company commanders, battalion commanders.

This is very important.

In many feudal towns, the troops were soldiers, and the allegiance system was that soldiers were loyal to junior officers, junior officers were loyal to middle and senior officers, and middle and senior officers were loyal to the feudal town.

In Lin Ziran's opinion, this has huge drawbacks, and it can even be said to be the root cause of the melee in Daheng Domain.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Lin Ziran ensured that the soldiers' allegiance was to him Lin Ziran, not their battalion commander, regiment commander and the like.

In order to ensure this, Lin Ziran has taken a lot of measures.

And these measures still seem to have a relatively good effect.

In other feudal towns, it is very easy to change a company commander or battalion commander, but it is very difficult to change positions such as regiment commander and brigade commander.

But here in Lin Ziran, any officer position will be changed when he says that he will be transferred, and no one will say a word, and he will not be able to resist.

This initially ensured the loyalty of the troops.

As the size of the force grows, so does the importance.

After all, it is difficult for Lin Ziran to directly command all the troops as before, and there will inevitably be a situation where a certain unit will fight outside independently.

However, to avoid this situation completely, other measures are important, and the commander of the army is equally important.

"According to our training plan, the 8th Infantry Battalion will be incorporated into the 1st Infantry Battalion, so that the 1st Infantry Battalion will have three infantry battalions: the 1st Infantry Battalion, the 6th Infantry Battalion and the 8th Infantry Battalion." Wu Guanlin said to the other unit on the field that was training: "The Ninth Infantry Battalion is still being trained, but the soldiers have already arrived. ”

Lin Ziran looked over and saw that the recruits of the 9th Infantry Battalion were training in formation!

Next to the 9th Infantry Battalion were the recruits of the 2nd Baggage Battalion for training.

Today's Sanyang Town Barracks is a huge training ground, where many troops that have become an army or are being trained are being trained.

Looking at the sweat of the many soldiers in the training ground, Lin Ziran sighed and said: "Thinking back to a year ago, there were only a few hundred of us, and there are tens of thousands of people, it's not easy!" ”

Luo Mazi also stepped forward: "Who said it wasn't, if it weren't for the wisdom of adults, how could we develop so fast!" ”

Wu Guanlin, who was on the side, also said: "Expanding the army by 10,000 people in just one year, which is very easy for a very feudal town, but if you build an army of 10,000 people from scratch, it is extremely difficult. ”

"And it can also be fully loaded, the troops are well-trained, and the morale is high!"

"If I hadn't been personally involved, I wouldn't have believed it was true."

"And all of this is because of you, you can make it!"

Wu Guanlin's praise made Lin Ziran a little unaccustomed, Luo Mazi's praise was a routine operation, and Lin Ziran was used to it.

But this Wu Guanlin, although he was very respectful to Lin Ziran before, he still maintained the arrogance of a top student of the Military Academy, and you asked him to pull down his face and brag Lin Ziran brainlessly, which was impossible before.

But today, Wu Guanlin is also impressed!

After all, I know the greatness of Lin Ziran only after experiencing it myself!

Expand the army, anyone can do this.

However, it is not easy to bring up tens of thousands of people in just one year, and it is still a regular army unit that has been trained, fully manned, and fully equipped with heavy artillery.

Naturally, he didn't know that Lin Ziran had received the most formal imperial education since he was a child, and he already knew many imperial governance concepts such as the power of the gun, the encirclement of the city by the countryside, the release of military power with a glass of wine, and the balance of factions.

When he grows up, all kinds of governance concepts can already come with his mouth open, and he needs an emperor's throne for him to practice......

After all, he was once one of the countless successors!

This alone makes the advantage of Chinese youth in crossing beyond the reach of people in other regions, because people in many places, whether they are students or adults, learn and come into contact with things that are different from those of Chinese people.

If there are such two people, one of them is a young man who graduated from a second-rate university in China, and the other is a young man who graduated from a third-rate public university in the United States.

Both of these people are ambitious, want to do great things, and possess the characteristics of many good leaders who are not afraid of difficulties, are not afraid of death, and have high charisma.

When they are thrown into ancient times, then the young people of China will most likely embark on the road of rebellion, and no matter how bad they are, they will seek power and the like, in short, it is dry heaven and dry air!

As for whether it will work out or not, that's another story!

And when young Americans arrive in ancient times, there is a high probability that they will take to the streets to protest against a certain illegal act, and finally be directly slapped to death by an unknown little minion, because he has been talking about politics since he was a child, but no one has ever taught him what politics is!

Politics is one of the dirtiest and bloodiest words in the world, but there are very few ordinary people in the West who know this!

The differences between the educational models and cultures of the two places are very evident in the unique cultural fields of the two sides.

The three views and behavior patterns of the protagonists in these cultural works are the best embodiment of the different cultures of the two sides.

Of course, this apparent difference is usually only seen by ordinary people on both sides.

And those elites who went to private schools and received elite education from a young age are not in the scope of discussion, because no matter what the country's elites, they are all carved out of the same mold, and there is almost no difference.

Lin Ziran is an ordinary person, just an ordinary person who has received imperial education since childhood.

He did a lot of these things out of instinct and common sense that he knew.

And it is these instincts and common sense that make him so different in Wu Guanlin's eyes.

In fact, even if it wasn't Lin Ziran, if he was replaced by an old reader of a random starting point historical text, and only said theoretical words, he could convince Wu Guanlin and become a qualified emperor in this world.
