Chapter 656: Righteous People Treat Themselves First
After the lively Shangyuan Festival, the various yamen also opened the yamen to go to work, Zhao Yu presided over the first court meeting after the year, which is equivalent to the group meeting after the modern year, and there is no practical significance, and then everyone went to do what to do step by step. As the Northern Army penetrated deep into the hinterland www.biquge.info of Liangguang, he was worried that the Yuan army would 'lure the enemy into depth' and outflank him from behind, and with the extension of the battle line, the strength of the troops was also insufficient, so he urged them not to continue to attack northward, but to gather their troops and gradually retreat.
Recently, Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie sent back the news that they had begun to assemble the scattered troops on both sides of the Nanliu River, and the people who were willing to go to Qiong with the army had boarded a ship to Lianzhou, and some people had already gone on their own, so they hoped that the imperial court would send a boat to respond. Now the privy envoy Zhang Shijie is not there, nominally Liu Shiyong is presiding over the work, but in fact Zhao Yu is in charge.
So Zhao Yu ordered the navy to rebuild the floating city in the strait to monitor the strait and rescue the ships that came to defect. At the same time, the navy was ordered to deploy troops on Weizhou Island and Eggzhou Island and Xuwen to meet the transport ships returning from Lianzhou to protect the safety of the waterway. Although the Yuan Water Army has been annihilated now, after all, now that the trade winds have risen, it is the time when the merchant ships come, and it is also the time when the Haikou are the most active, they don't care if you are a merchant ship or a civilian ship defecting to Qiongzhou, as long as there is oil and water, they will attack.
At the same time, Zhao Yu informed the household department and ordered them to do a good job of acceptance and resettlement work, so as to ensure that the new people had houses to live in, food to eat, and land to plant. Craftsmen with skills can also be placed in the capital and various workshops; Scholars with official status and meritorious service should be registered in the official department and assigned to various departments according to their talents and needs, and those who wish to join the army should be given priority.
As for the military reform plan, he should be strict and said that he would have to consider and improve it by himself, so he failed to let the Zhongshu Province review it as promised, and Zhao Yu also knew that this matter was very important, and it was by no means possible to pass the review and implement it in a short period of time, so he was in a hurry, and he thought that if he could complete the military reform work within the year, he would have to recite Amitabha. But the construction of the new army has begun as scheduled, and his energy has begun to lean towards this side.
At present, the recruits have entered the camp one after another, and the selected teachers and teachers have also been in place, and a total of 100 people have been left after Zhao Yu's inspection and screening. He planned to teach five courses, including step-by-step, cavalry, artillery, engineering, and baggage, with the content and teaching methods of teaching referring to modern methods, with military tactics, weapons, surveying and mapping, fortification, and exemplary orders as the main courses, and at the same time adding auxiliary courses such as arithmetic, basic physics, history of wars, geography, and military documents.
After the recruits enter the camp, Zhao plans to conduct a six-month period of basic training, first of all, to train in common subjects such as physical fitness, queues, rules and regulations, and basic operation of weapons, and then to divide classes according to training results and personal volunteers, and conduct professional training separately. Of course, basic training can not be relaxed, and physical fitness is the basis of all tactical actions in ancient times and modern times, and a necessary quality of a soldier.
Now Zhao Yu temporarily organized the recruits into three brigades, one battalion into four squadrons, each squadron into four detachments, and each detachment into four squadrons. At present, each brigade is managed on the basis of a brigade, and training and learning are carried out in squadrons; at present, military instructors and cultural instructors are concurrently serving as captains and marquis, squadron leaders and detachment leaders are former grassroots officers in the guard battalions, and squad leaders are experienced veterans selected from among the recruits.
According to Zhao Yu's plan, this year's 1,500 people are only the first phase, and the second phase of new troops will be recruited next year. After the completion of the first phase of training, these trainees will be expanded into a basic brigade, and after the second phase is completed, the second expansion will be carried out, and the imperial front guard army will be organized into three brigades of basic demonstration divisions. In addition to the normal recruitment of cadets in the third phase, a one-year rotation training has been conducted for the junior officers of various departments who are ready to be refitted, and then they will be assigned to various armies for refitting together with the cadets who graduated in the same period.
After gaining experience, they will set up general school classes to train middle and high-ranking officers and learn the tactical command and use of hot weapons. At the same time, the armies began to train in accordance with the new regulations and regulations to lay the foundation for the rearmament, and strive to complete the refitting of ten infantry divisions, two or more cavalry divisions, and three barreled artillery brigades within five years; The navy, on the other hand, will be organized into three marine divisions and one artillery brigade while completing the refitting of some of the new warships.
Of course, Zhao Yu wanted to build a more powerful army, and it would be best to have a hundred or eight hundred thousand, but he had to consider the bearing capacity of Qiongzhou, the financial resources and the number of people in the Xing Dynasty, and the production capacity of firearms. However, even so, there are 200,000 regular troops in Qiongzhou, and according to the normal 5 percent feeding capacity, the population of Qiongzhou needs 4 million people.
As far as Zhao Yu knows, by the 21 st century, Hainan's population will peak at just over 3 million, so it is impossible to reach the normal level of military and civilian use. Therefore, he had to spend these five years not only training an elite army, but also trying to earn more money to support them and the officials of the court. And to solve the financial problems, in addition to smuggling, robbery, counterfeit currency...... The best way, of course, is to fight out and land on the other side, where there are tens of millions of people and inexhaustible wealth......
For such a hopeful seed army, Zhao Yu thought about it again and again, and finally realized the 'pain' of Jiang Gong back then, and it was more reassuring and rewarding to be the 'principal' by himself. So he concurrently served as the chief instructor of the new army, but the brigade headquarters was set up according to the school, he took Lin Zhiwu as the marquis of Yu, and was also ready to transfer Chen Renweng as the director of education, Qin Liang, the head of the money and grain room of the General Division, as the chief of general affairs, Ni Liang as the training director, and Zhuang Gongcong as the copywriter of the general office.
As the door is about to open, Zhao Hao, as the chief instructor, is of course responsible for conducting preliminary training for the selected instructors, so that they can understand their responsibilities and obligations and new teaching methods, and be familiar with the teaching materials and training content. And he also found that the queue movements he had learned for two months during military training were finally used, and the movements that he had been trained by his father for many years since he was a child were also the most standard.
"Keep your legs straight, don't bend them!" A group of military instructors and officers above the squadron stood in a square formation in the small playground of the guards, practicing the queue movements, and Zhao Yu was also wearing a military uniform, carrying a thorn in his hand and walking around in the queue, personally coaching.
'Smack, smack......
"The two palms are buckled inward, and they naturally hang down on the thighs, can't you remember?" Zhao Hao scolded sharply, and the thorn strip in his hand fell mercilessly on the hand of an instructor.
"Report the system, Sun Jin, the captain of the first brigade, remember!" The corners of the painful mouth of the person who ate the beating twitched, but he still straightened up and reported loudly.
'Puff'
"The legs are straight, not only straightened, but also with force, the lower plate is so unstable, I really don't know how you have been a soldier in the past few years, and the rice has been eaten!" Zhao Yu turned behind a person and kicked at his leg, the man fell down in response, but he was startled, is it really not good, or has his two years of hard work not been in vain? It seems that I have to go to the old monk to practice. However, he quickly calmed down and opened his mouth to scold.
"Report to the system, the second brigade and the third team are Li Zhenbing, and the rice is in vain!" Li Zhen immediately got up and stood upright, and reported loudly.
"Hee-hee-hee......"
'Slap, slap, slap......'
"No talking, no laughing and playing in the queue, how many more times do you have to say it?" The rattan in Zhao Hao's hand waved continuously, and the few people who laughed out loud just now were beaten, of course, it was inevitable that the pond fish would be affected.
"Yes, remember!" Whether it was a real mistake or a beating, they all straightened up and shouted.
There were not only Zhao Yu's personal guards, but also officers in the escort army, as well as veterans who had followed him since Jiazi Town, but in just a few days, they had subverted their usual good impression of His Majesty, and no one present had ever seen the little emperor so 'heartbroken'. I haven't seen the little emperor smile for a few days, and he has a straight face all day long like everyone owes him, and he will be beaten or scolded for the slightest mistake.
Don't look at the young age of the little emperor, he is ruthless in beating people, and even Ni Liang, who he regards as a brother, has suffered several rattans. Many angry people want to 'break off friendship' with him, but unfortunately he is the emperor, and as long as he still wants to mix in Qiongzhou, he can't escape the palm of his hand. And the little emperor said first, whoever was eliminated or didn't want to do it would go to the salt field to dry salt, but everyone heard that the work was really bitter and tiring, a hundred times more bitter than being beaten here, and he could only endure it under his obscenity.
"Take a break!" Zhao Yu glanced at the hourglass placed on the table, it had been an hour since the military posture training, and he walked to the front of the queue and gave a command.
'Huh...... all the troops immediately reflexively stretched out their left feet.
"Stand upright!" Zhao Yu gave the order again, and stood up again as usual.
"Take a break!" Zhao Yu glanced at the queue and said.
"Tell me about it!" Zhao Yu raised his hand and saluted, and the people in the queue immediately stood upright, "In today's military posture training, the vast majority of people performed very well, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, and able to complete the action seriously, especially Tian Zhong, Liu Hong, and Tan Fei, whose movements are standard and powerful. But there are also people who procrastinate, their movements are slow, and their postures are deformed, Fang Sheng, Wu Feng, Qian Lin, Yu Yue and Yue Bin continue to train for an hour after they are disbanded, and the others must also seriously experience it when they go down, and remember the essentials of the movements! ”
"Still have questions?" After the comment, Zhao Yu asked again.
"Nope!" The armies replied in unison.
"It's like I haven't eaten breakfast, I can't hear it!" Zhao Yu didn't learn anything else, but the instructor ridiculed people and criticized people and remembered them, but he believed that in a few days, these people would also be able to do it, and they would be passed on in batches.
"Nope!" Everyone spoke in unison again.
"It's pretty much the same this time!" Zhao Yu dug into the ears that were about to be deafened and said, "Disband, rest in place!" ”
"Salute!" The officer on duty gave the order. After he returned the salute, everyone dared to sit down, rubbing their already stiff legs, and busily drinking saliva to moisten their throats.
"Send it to them!" Seeing the little emperor coming, the guards hurriedly sent a plate of fruit, but Zhao Yu pointed to the resting officers and soldiers......
Zhao Yu found a shade and sat down, grinning his calves like everyone else. Although he can walk around casually and stand there without a stake, he can make you repeat the password 800 times a day, and do hundreds of demonstrations, and I believe that everyone would rather stand in the queue. And what worries him is not only that, every day he has to check housekeeping, dress and hygiene in accordance with the regulations and standards, and correct incorrect movements, including how to eat.
In addition, Zhao also has to help them master the various procedures stipulated in the regulations, and be familiar with various rules and regulations and procedures. And these things are more cumbersome than in the past, and he has to take the trouble to explain them. Of course, if he asks others to do it, he will also do it himself, so his small body is still very tired, and it is not ordinary fatigue, but no matter how painful the pit he dug, he has to jump down.
"Your Majesty, Chen Dun asks for an audience!"
"Oh, what is he doing here?" Zhao Hao just drank two sips of water, and a guard came over to tell him, he was a little strange.
"I don't know, this kid is angry, and he looks a little angry!" These guards are all from the old camp, and they are very familiar with the famous old camp scourge Chen Dun, and they said with a smile.
"Hehe, then let him in, or you won't have to lift the camp!" Zhao Hao said with a smile.
"Your Majesty can cure him, otherwise this guy will really come out!" The guard held back a smile and said with a smile, probably remembering the part of the selection of soldiers in Jiazi Town again!
"Meet Your Majesty!" After Chen Dun came over, he gave a sloppy salute to the little emperor.
"Sit down, what's the urgent need to see me?" Zhao Yu looked at his dark face and smiled with a very unhappy look.
"Your Majesty, I also signed up for the recruitment of new troops in the old camp this time, why didn't I join the camp?" Chen Dun snorted angrily.
"What's so strange about this, it must be that you don't meet the recruitment conditions!" Zhao Yu said.
"Impossible!" Chen Dun stood up and said, "I have seen the original list of camps, which contained my name, but it was later deleted!" ”
"Oh, there is this kind of thing, I asked them to check if someone was cheating, and if one of them retaliated for favoritism, I will punish them severely!" Zhao Yu was very surprised.
"Your Majesty, no one dares to punish even if you find out!" Chen Dun pursed his lips and said with a look of contempt.
"Don't you believe me?" Zhao Hao's face sank and said.
"Your Majesty, don't pretend, it's clear that Your Majesty crossed out my name!" Chen Dun saw that His Majesty was sloppy with himself, and said angrily.
"Nonsense, how could I do such a thing?" Zhao Hao asked sharply, but no matter how you look at it, it is all stubble.
"Your Majesty, although there are only two lines drawn on that list, and others can't recognize it, I can recognize it. Don't forget that in order not to be blamed by Mr. Ying, I taught you at the beginning! Chen Dun's face was authentic.
"This ...... I am also for your own good, otherwise how can I be worthy of the martyred Governor Chen! Zhao Yu sighed and said, obviously it was himself who kicked him out of the new army by default......
