Volume 1 The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 110 The Noon Offensive (6)
"Warlord?" The first emotion expressed by the guards was doubt, then quickly turned to shock.
They didn't expect that in the middle of the night, the military lord had not rested, and actually came to the command center of this Nancheng Tower to check on their situation.
Seeing their slack appearance, the guards were also a little panicked, and they made a military salute one by one, and then apologized to Jiang Yu with some shame.
As for the slackness of the guards, Jiang Yuyan himself has no intention of delving into it, after all, what really affects them is the attitude of the managers above, and it is obvious that the current management center of the Nancheng Tower is quite slack, and it is useless to criticize these guards.
As for the slackness of the management center, Jiang Yu thought that it was because of the late night, and the people who were still working would inevitably have some confusion due to lack of energy; On the other hand, it is the management of manpower.
The chaos within the Ming army of Meng Yangcheng was far beyond Jiang Yugang's imagination. The main scope of management of the main senior officers was basically confined to their subordinates, while the logistics people, who accounted for the vast majority of the available combat power, were not mobilized at all, but with the gradual formation of the defensive form of Mengyangcheng, all the work of the logistics people was collected and centralized.
The abilities of these logistical men are uneven, and if the selection is strictly carried out, it may be possible for one out of ten people to be able to send them to combat effectiveness, and the energy required to reorganize these people's combat effectiveness is enormous.
Another reason why the original Ming army officers gave up organizing logistics personnel was that Meng Yangcheng originally undertook a lot of material transfer pressure, even if the logistics personnel were organized, military training, and obtained a troop organization that could fight and had sufficient combat effectiveness, it would eventually have to be disbanded and differentiated into a loose logistics transfer team, no longer participating in various military training activities, but turning to various material transportation activities and other logistics tasks, which still could not be invested as combat effectiveness.
Therefore, the cost performance that can be obtained by mobilizing these people is too low, and because there is no one who can be responsible for the management of logistics people in terms of strict duty management, these people should theoretically belong to the general army or the subordinates directly under the supervision, and do not belong to the officers of Meng Yangcheng, these officers from Qujing Siwei are managed, so no matter from which aspect, they do not have the conditions to organize these people.
The facts are also close to Jiang Yugang's judgment, except for Bai Qianfan who has a certain organization of these people, and has made certain reinforcement and deployment arrangements for the personnel who can be used as combat force, the others have not been organized, and after Jiang Yugang left, the people in Mengyang City were also in a state of disarray, only relatively loose arrangements.
The camps of the people were scattered throughout the city of Mengyang, and their organization and management were also vested in the officers of each place. In fact, their command was managed by the highest-ranking officer left in Mengyang City, the Pingyi Wei Commander, but the Pingyi Wei Commander had only just taken over these people, and did not give any actual orders.
And when Jiang Yu took over the defense of Beicheng and Nancheng, he also took over nearly 1,000 people in Beicheng and Nancheng. He did not despise these people, no matter how old and physical these people were for the battle of Meng Yangcheng, they were the most important resource in the war of this era - manpower.
Jiang Yugang actually regarded these people as an army, and since he took over the organization rights of these people, he began to transport surplus weapons and equipment from Mang Castle into Mengyang City to fill the vacancy of these people in armaments.
The final armament result was satisfactory, Jiang Yugang did not intend to equip these people with firearms or other uncontrollable weapons in such a short period of time, but widely equipped with weapons such as spears and long knives, not for anything else, only to have a certain ability to protect themselves, so that they would not only have the ability to escape and surrender in front of the enemy, and be able to fight under the cover of the soldiers, or simply play the role of suppressing the formation.
As a result, each of the more than 1,000 people under Jiang Yu's management was equipped with weapons, and about 200 of them were also allocated two weapons at the same time. In accordance with the arrangement of transforming the logistical organization of these people into a military organization and management in peacetime, a temporary military organization was established from scratch in one day.
The final result of the organization was the imitation of the arrangement of the troops of Mang Castle, and two regiments were established, each of which was not fully staffed, but only governed two battalions. Each battalion consists of three arrays, with the exception of one battalion consisting of only two arrays.
And the battalion, which had only two arrays, was a battalion formed by all young and middle-aged people on a temporary basis, as a new force to fill the gap in the manpower of the soldiers.
Then there was the arrangement of the soldiers assembled by the people, Jiang Yugang divided them into two parts, in fact, they corresponded to two regiments, one regiment was composed of a battalion formed by young men and the other was composed of a battalion with relatively good personnel, a total of nearly 500 people, responsible for the garrison of Nancheng.
The other two battalions with poor personnel, more than half of whom were not suitable for combat in age and physical condition, were also temporarily organized into a regiment to be responsible for the defense of the northern city.
The reason for this division is because the number of qualified soldiers that Jiang Yugang finally invested in Nancheng is actually very limited, so the demand for temporary soldiers composed of Minfu is higher, and in Beicheng is the main force of the Mengyang City garrison, so the demand for Minfu temporary troops is relatively low, and they don't need to provide much role, as long as they can play some role.
Of course, the most direct problem faced by these people who gathered and temporarily organized the team was management, after all, they had been negligent in management before, and they lacked training in this area, and Jiang Yu was only left with one day and one night.
It can be said that the day was spent extremely nervously, and certain results were indeed achieved, and the deployment of troops was basically completed. But it is clear that there are still many problems that need to be solved, and the people responsible for solving them are naturally the officers of all ranks in the official combat corps from Manggu Castle.
Therefore, Jiang Yugang could see that although it was already late at night, the command camp downstairs in Nancheng was still full of people and quite lively, and all kinds of characters came and went here.
From this point of view, arranging for Auma to be here in Nancheng may not be a bad thing, and having someone in Nancheng can also be more reassuring.
Jiang Yugang thought silently in his heart, and walked towards the main house of this courtyard, and when he saw Jiang Yugang leaving, Li Chong immediately followed, and the two guards naturally moved out of the way.
Without waiting for Li to make a move, Jiang Yuyan took the initiative to push open the door of the main house, which was a rather spacious room, with a high ceiling, and two doors opened in the left and right directions, and people with nervous expressions walked through the room with various items. What Jiang Yugang could see was an officer from Mang Castle surrounded by several people who had been elected from the people's husbands, and most of the leaders of the people were asking questions to the officers of Mang Castle with nervous expressions on their faces.
He swept his eyes around, and in the huge room, no one seemed to notice his arrival at the first moment, and they were all quite serious about solving the doubts of the leaders selected among these people, and this kind of quality was one of the goals that Jiang Yugang cultivated and trained them: patience.
Patience is an extremely critical ability as a leader, this is Jiang Yu's view. As a leader, no amount of patience is enough, and there is no end to the path of cultivating and developing patience.
First of all, as a leader, they must have something better than others, and when doing things, they need to play these strengths and strengths to drive the whole team and the organization forward, and then they need to pass on their strengths to all their subordinates, so that they can be positively influenced by these advantages.
In this process, enough patience is essential, whether it is the rudeness of rushing to achieve results, or the sloppiness of perfunctory things, it will directly affect their command and guidance of their subordinates.
In this process, Jiang Yu's main concern was that in the army of Mang Castle, the officers selected in the early stage set an example in soldier training, and all the officers who were in a hurry or perfunctory were not further promoted, and the worst performers were even rearranged as ordinary soldiers and their promotions were cancelled.
Second, leaders are the receivers and processors of various tasks, they will receive a variety of tasks, and they will have to deal with them. In this process, the main test for them is two aspects, one is to select and arrange the right person to divide labor, and the other is to realize the supervision and management of the entire task process.
If the first point may not require too much patience, more of a judgment and decision, then the second point is to a large extent in the test of a leader's patience, only with enough patience, pay careful attention to the implementation of the task at all times, in order to achieve accurate management of the process, this can be achieved through many methods, but from the leader's patience to choose, in Jiang Yugang's view is a feasible way.
In Jiang Yugang's view, there are two characteristics of leaders, the first point is that as a leader, you must undertake more tasks than others, and these tasks cannot be burdens in name only, but must be real implementation content.
Because this first point may greatly affect the choice of leaders, then we have to mention the second point: in a normal environment, there will be many people.
This characteristic can be regarded as Jiang Yugang's original conclusion based on the observation of the surrounding environment, that is, the relationship between man and the environment. In a good environment, people are active, can engage in all kinds of things, and take on all kinds of responsibilities; In a bad environment, people are negative and low, and they can even achieve the effect that although there are many people, they are extremely lonely and lonely, and it is difficult for them to do almost everything well.
To give an example, it is Manggu Mountain. During the period when the Luchuan army forcibly occupied Manggu Mountain, the overall production efficiency of Manggu Mountain was incredibly low, because everyone was in danger and was struggling to survive under the threat of Luchuan, and many people even reached the point of not having enough to eat and were on the verge of starvation; And when they were organized by Jiang Yugang and established Mang Castle, and after the successful establishment of Mang Castle, they created incredible achievements.
Not only was it built in a short period of time, what may be the largest cottage on Manggu Mountain in decades, but also after the completion of Manggu Castle, a huge number of firearms, spears, long knives, bows and arrows and other cold weapons were manufactured.
Finally, there are the various farming teams and hunting teams of Baicaoyuan, and by now, they have achieved the goal of exceeding the past agricultural and animal husbandry productivity, and with the support of Mengyangcheng's materials, they have achieved a relative abundance of materials.
