Section 547 Preparation of the Ming Army and Civilians (1)
While the Portuguese gentlemen were actively preparing for war, there was a group of Ming gentlemen who were doing the same thing with their Franc counterparts.
On the dock at the foot of the lotus stem gate, Bai Shen understood that more than ten "progressive" people such as the old man got off the boat.
It is said that since the lotus stem gate, this 17th-century primitive customs, like later generations, gradually formed a lively market inside and outside the gate.
After all, there are goods and daily necessities, as well as grain, vegetables and people to be cleared every day, so the soldiers on the gate naturally have to spend time to conduct random inspections. In this way, behind the gate, tea stalls and cattle and horse greenhouses naturally appear for people to wait and rest.
Gradually, there were small hotels and houses, as well as fish pens and vegetable farms, and then even fighters in the service industry such as half-closed doors.
However, after Master Bai and his entourage came to the gate today, they found that the inside and outside of the city gate had been controlled by the military, and all the idle people were gone. In their place, there were soldiers and a large number of migrant workers wearing indigo horns, canvas shoes, holding various tools, and bald heads and straw hats.
The bald migrant workers are busy at the moment. They quickly knocked down one house after another, then pulled the wreckage away in a cart and cleared the open space in front of the city gates.
The demolition of these illegal buildings was carried out quickly, because most of them were temporary sheds built of grass and trees, and the best quality of them was none other than the prefabricated houses with bricks and stones on the foundation. So it took only one morning for the migrant workers to bulldoze all the buildings inside and outside the gate.
When the Baiju people came to the lotus stem gate in the afternoon, this low city gate tower had already restored the desolate scene when it was first built. Except for the wharf behind the gate, the rest of the land before and after the gate is a white land.
Subsequently, Bai Juren, accompanied by several young officers, boarded the gate.
Prior to this, the Ming court had set up a general officer to lead officers and soldiers to guard the gate. At this moment, at the gate, the Ming soldiers carrying spears have disappeared, and they are replaced by new-style soldiers wearing military uniforms and rifles in later generations.
The view from the castle tower is wide, and you can clearly see the island that is about to fall into war on the opposite side. However, as far as the eye can see, there is no atmosphere of war that can be observed with the naked eye, except for a quiet atmosphere. Fortunately, the view of the upper city tower was originally a cutscene, and after hastily overlooking Haojingao, and then overlooking the white land after the demolition, Staff Officer Xiao, who was in charge of reception, invited the old men down the city tower.
The observation group came here today, of course, not to see how the migrant workers were demolished.
For the upcoming war, "setting up the stage militarily, singing politically, demonstrating soft and hard power, and deterring the indigenous elites" is the expected goal of the public.
People from the future understand the power of the word "propaganda" all too well.
Since the next step is to be Canton, this war is an excellent opportunity to use propaganda as the least costly means to defeat the will of the natives to resist.
Just like Cao before he vigorously went out to sea from Baietan, to exterminate Liu Xiang, and since then the people of Guangzhou have known that there is a Cao Dashuai, this time it is a cat and a tiger, which is a larger propaganda campaign.
As for tiny Macau...... If you talk about it from a military level alone, there are many ways to cross the crowd in seconds. IT'S JUST THAT IN THAT CASE, IT WILL BE A WASTE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW OFF AT HOME.
Therefore, in this context, there is today's observation group, as well as the war propaganda that has recently appeared in the people of Guangzhou Prefecture. The people hope that the natives who have the conditions will come to watch the war at that time, so as to strengthen the implication that cannot be said clearly to the people of Fujian and Guangdong-carefully choose sides, and the court will not be able to hold it in the future.
.......................
After coming down from the Guanlou, Staff Officer Xiao, who wore an olive green regular lieutenant's uniform with a seniority badge pinned to his chest, smiled and motioned to the old men of the visiting group to walk behind the Guan.
Xiao Qiqian and Xiao staff officers are thin, white and clean, treat people with a spring breeze, and have the demeanor of a reception manager. However, this person seems to be ordinary, but he is a full-fledged officer born as a child, and he is currently subordinate to the Army General Staff, and he is the "son of the family" of the Army, and his future is limitless.
In fact, as early as the pioneering period of Yizhou, the concept of "family birth" was widely used in all walks of life that crossed the forces.
At the beginning, I had a piece of land, and I was ready to throw off my arms, plant the field for a few years, and then go out of the hole to hang the demons and monsters from all walks of life, and soon found a cruel fact in daily production: there are no grassroots cadres.
Migrant workers digging earth to build houses were brought in by boat, and these people could go to work in three days, but there was a lack of foremen who could read the drawings of the houses.
Clumsy young workers, after a week of training, can also start cutting logs with woodworking machines. However, what is most lacking in the traversal is the section leader and workshop director who can understand the process documents.
Grassroots cadres are the skeleton of a political power.
If the Turkish Communist Party had not vigorously cultivated grassroots cadres during the Yan'an period, how could it have been so smooth to take over later.
This kind of difficulty, which is completely unexperienced in the afterlife, almost requires an ambitious journey through the old life...... What, not even a contractor can be found? Doesn't it mean that there are so many college students that they go to clean public toilets?
Nothing can be promoted without the backbone of the middle class, not even the traversal masses with infinite wealth and knowledge - their wealth piled up in the treasury and the knowledge hidden in the brain lack the right talent chain to monetize.
In the end, some people who were slapped in the face by reality can only honestly start from scratch, and personally train grassroots cadres hand in hand.
The grass-roots cadres mentioned here naturally also include the grass-roots officers of the military.
In fact, the need for junior officers in the military is more urgent than in other professions. There are only a few military talents who have crossed over, and it is impossible to train a modern army with an ever-increasing number of people without educated low-ranking officers.
Looking at the "future flowers and bones" who are still studying courses in military schools and primary schools, the traversers who know that far water does not quench their thirst, so they have to pick up the ancient training method of "master with apprentice".
All walks of life, including the military, all the traversers in the early days, selected some adult natives, took them with them as personal companions and similar to orderlies, and worked during the day and made up classes at night.
Staff Officer Xiao is also one of these people.
As one of the earliest orderlies around Army Commander Han Xiaobo, Xiao Qiqian, who was born as a child, is the "protégé of the Son of Heaven" in the army. Not only is he hard-rooted, but he also has a very strong ability to learn, and in a short period of time, he has mastered many new military theories brought by the people, and he is an excellent staff officer talent -- this is especially precious in the current army full of reckless people.
This time, he was sent to be the guide of the visiting group, which is also the meaning of "above" training. After all, there is no position for military attachés stationed abroad, and in order to improve the comprehensive ability of outstanding officers, it is always necessary to find some tasks for them to do in various aspects.
.................................
The observation group passed through the city gate and returned to the side of the Ming Kingdom. After that, the group walked less than half a mile north along the makeshift cinder road, and then they saw the main target of the day: the field hospital.
The field hospital is a unique product of the era of the leading people. Compared with artillery and the army, many natives who do not understand military affairs are actually more likely to see the reality of an army in terms of logistics, and this is the purpose of crossing the crowd to form an observation group.
In the 17th century, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and it was originally half a mile away from the gate and was covered by woods and bushes. Today, the vegetation has been cleared and the field hospital is located here.
The first thing that catches the eye is a neat green canvas tent and a heavily armed guard.
The tents were spacious, about twenty in number, neatly divided into four squares by the lime line at their feet. According to the custom of later generations, each tent has a red cross pattern on a white background in front of the door.
When Bai Shen understood that the old man stepped into the "medical hall", he immediately noticed that it was his feet.
What Master Bai was stepping on at the moment was a layer of black felt cloth-like things. However, it is said to be a cloth, but this thing is slightly shiny, and it seems to be smeared with tung oil.
Seeing that Master Bai was paying attention to his feet, Staff Officer Xiao beside him smiled and said: "According to the regulations, in order to prevent insects and moisture, the ground of the temporary field hospital is first covered with a layer of lime, and then covered with felt. Not to mention that this thing is lightweight, it also has the function of waterproof and insect prevention, and it is covered with a layer of asphalt produced in Yizhou on both sides of thick paper. ”
"Well, in that case, this thing can also go up to the roof?"
Mr. Bai is worthy of being in the grocery business, and when he heard that cow felt was light and waterproof, he immediately thought of other places.
Staff Officer Xiao couldn't help but stretch out his thumb: "Master Bai is clever!" It is rainy and humid in Taiwan, and the use of this thing is on the roof! ”
Old Man Bai was full of smiles when he heard this, and he said that Staff Officer Xiao praised him, but he had already decided in his heart that he would go back and put a batch of cow felt in his own shop and sell it......
At the moment when Master Bai was looking for food for his family, the rest of the old men were already wandering around in this big tent.
Since there has been no official "pick-up", there are only two male nurses in green robes and cotton masks in the tent who are sorting out the instruments and equipment. The shiny instruments are not understandable to the old man, but the only thing that can be understood is about the two mobile operating tables placed on the ground.
However, there is a good saying: no book is made without coincidence.
Just when the old man was a little bored, the show came: a group of migrant workers ran over from the road carrying a bloodstained worker, and shouted loudly from afar: "Lang Zhong Lang Zhong help!" Someone has been beaten by a rope! ”
As a result of this noise, the originally quiet field hospital suddenly boiled like a pot of boiling water and entered working mode.
Soon, several male nurses who heard the shouts rushed out of their respective tents, and then carried the injured people into the bed cart and pushed them into the tents.
Seeing that the field hospital successfully accepted a poor migrant worker, the gentlemen of the visiting group came to their senses one after another. As an activist, everyone has more or less heard of the ability of the Yizhou Divine Doctor to disembowel, and today looking at this formation, can you see it with your own eyes?
The next moment, the curtain opened, and Dong Qiang, the director of Chikan Hospital, walked into the tent with a group of male and female students.
