Nangong Hou has always been a reasonable person, so after a process of reasoning, he quickly decided not to leave and continued to bury his perpetual motion machine in the laboratory.

However, he often muttered about the funding of the perpetual motion machine.

For this reason, Lin Ziran naturally ignored it.

They are poor now, how can they have the money to make him a perpetual motion machine.

However, Lin Ziran was still very generous about Nangong Hou's research on petroleum, especially the improvement of the process of refining kerosene, and all the equipment he could get was brought to him.

And in addition to the original two assistants, Lin Ziran has assigned him an assistant in the past two days.

However, these assistants were all personally told by Lin Ziran: "If you go, study hard, and if you succeed in learning, you will naturally not be able to treat you badly!" ”

The person who sent it over was ostensibly an assistant to Nangong Hou, but in fact, he was more of a stealer.

After all, Nangong Hou is not very reliable, even if there are no other problems, but Lin Ziran, a two-headed perpetual motion machine for three days, can't stand it.

Nangong Hou's matter is just a small episode in Lin Ziran's many daily affairs, and he is busy with a lot of things every day.

For example, Boss Wang has been going to work almost every day these days, and at first he just said he wanted money, and then he simply lay on the ground and asked for money......

That's more shrewd than a shrew!

Lin Ziran had a headache, and finally asked Ding Quankun to scrape together more than 500 Hengyuan for him, which made him stop a little.

However, none of these things had military affairs to make Lin Ziran feel troubled and troublesome.

Judging from the previous battles of the patrol battalion, the current Qingshan patrol battalion is really difficult to take on a big task, if it were not for the long-range Mini rifle, it was estimated that it would not even be able to complete the task of containing the fleeing rebels in Quang An.

The tactical capabilities of the troops, the command capabilities of the officers are simply too poor.

In order to change the current predicament, Lin Ziran officially set up a crash course for officers, intending to train officers on his own.

Although there is not even an instructor yet, it doesn't matter, let's find the students first.

The first batch of academies are naturally the existing officers, including four company commanders, four deputy company commanders, and more than a dozen platoon commanders.

In addition, more than 10 soldiers with literacy and flexible brains were selected from the troops.

In addition, seven or eight young people with a certain level of education, physical fitness, and good work style were recruited from the people.

In the end, there were more than 40 crash course students who were gathered by Lin Ziran.

Originally, Lin Ziran wanted to teach in person, but after trying to teach a few times, he found that he was not a military instructor, or even a teacher, so he had to give up.

At the same time, the prisoner of war officers that Lin Ziran wanted to recruit, this time is still relatively short, Luo Mazi's side has not even completed the preparations, this kind of thing is not in a hurry for a day or two, in Luo Mazi's words: You have to work slowly!

So don't count on it anytime soon.

But it's not a matter to wait like this, and you can't use all prisoner of war officers, so Lin Ziran also plans to hire military instructors from outside with high salaries.

Although these are troubled times, the best job prospects are high-quality officers.

An officer with a well-educated military education, no matter where he goes, is full of fragrant buns, and a large number of feudal towns rush to ask for it.

After all, we are all smart people and know the importance of talent.

Compared with those big feudal towns, Lin Ziran felt that he didn't have any advantages, so it was impossible to invite those outstanding talents, but Lin Ziran didn't target the active officers in the feudal towns.

He set his sights on the officers who had retired and were idle at home.

The people did not continue to serve in the army for various reasons, and there are many officers who are idle at home, even in Qingshan Town and several nearby towns, there are such people.

Therefore, Lin Ziran asked Qingshan Commercial Bank to inquire everywhere about the idle officers there, and then invited.

The officer's matter is like drilling a well to extract oil, and he can't rush it!

In this case, Lin Ziran can only start from other aspects.

The first is to organize the hundreds of soldiers who have just been recruited and are still undergoing the most basic adaptive training.

At the same time, in consideration of the fact that the newly formed troops should be able to form their initial combat effectiveness as soon as possible, rather than saying that they would need to be trained for several months before they could be reluctantly formed, Lin Ziran adopted the model of veterans leading new recruits.

The soldiers of the original infantry companies, although their combat effectiveness is not good, but they are more of the officer level, as for the soldiers, in fact, the ordinary level can still be reached, at least the loading and shooting, the basic queue can still be done.

Therefore, Lin Ziran is preparing to let these veterans train with the recruits, so that the troops can quickly form initial combat effectiveness as much as possible.

To this end, he directly divided the 1st Musket Company, the 2nd Musket Company, and the 3rd Musket Company into two, and each company was split in half, and then half of the recruits were replenished.

In this way, it means that three companies have become six companies, and more than half of the soldiers in each of these six companies are veterans who have trained for several months, have more or less experienced war, have fired, and seen snow.

As for the Fourth Chasseur Company, it is still no longer in any of Lin Ziran's reorganization and reform plans, those old fritters can't be thrown away, and they can't be used, Lin Ziran now treats them as second-line troops, transporting kerosene, patrolling and patrolling intersections, etc., which can be regarded as waste.

Even in order to free up the number, Lin Ziran revoked the number of the Fourth Chasseur Company and renamed it the Oil Security Team, which was separate from the existing patrol battalion and managed independently.

Try not to let these old fritters affect the style of the patrol battalion.

Even Scar was transferred out by Lin Ziran and turned to serve as the company commander of the newly established Fourth Musket Company, and at the same time served as the second battalion.

The second battalion is also a newly established establishment, because the musket company has expanded from the original three to the current six, and the musket company of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion is a relatively large number.

There are more than 130 combatants alone, and there are also men and horsemen who are not combatants on weekdays.

In order to facilitate management on the battlefield, Lin Ziran set up the first battalion, the second battalion, and the recruit battalion.

Among them, the first battalion is under the jurisdiction of the first, second, and third musket companies, and the second battalion is under the jurisdiction of the fourth, fifth, and sixth musket companies.

The battalion commander of the first battalion is Wu Dajiang, the commander of the second battalion is Scar, and the recruit battalion commander is Luo Mazi.

In addition to these three battalion-level establishments, there are also cavalry companies, artillery companies, baggage companies, and Lin Ziran's guards.

The cavalry company actually had only more than fifty horsemen, and at most they could only be regarded as infantry who could ride horses, but they could not charge with sabers, at best they could be considered dragoons.

The artillery company is a little better, now there are four five-pound guns, and two more will be added later, and finally there will be six five-pound field guns.

All of the above personnel will be combined to reach 1,200 people.

This means that Lin Ziran has already completed, or even exceeded the small goal of 1,000 people he set at the beginning
