According to the saying of Eshui: "A haode Mengran horse is a thousand times the mountain must be eight hundred." () Five hundred pounds for a mule. Gao De smiled and said, "Tell me about it." These horses alone are worth a lot of money on your ranch. ”

"That's amazing!" Whether it was Wu Nanhai, Yang Guigui or Nick, they were all shocked when they heard this market.

"So," Gao De said. "The ranch business must be at least after the end of the anti-bandit operation. In addition, we are preparing to take over Dongchun Village. When it's all done, it's not too late for you to build a ranch. At least it's safer. ”

"What is this place?" Nick these people are in. After the day, it was basically two points and one line between Bopu and Lingao, and I didn't know anything about these places.

"A small village at the foot of Mount Yah." Dude knew where Yashan was, and they didn't know either, "Yashan is the main peak of the high mountain range, and it is also the only way for us to reach Damei Village. Once taken down, it can be used as a base to protect traffic. ”

"When will the bandits begin?"

"It's a secret," Bu De smiled, "Actually, I can't hide it from you in the South China Sea, and I'll know it when I prepare military rations."

Now the mud legs are still practicing. It's going to have to be another month or two. ”

Yellow Bear was holding a thin rattan cane in his hand and was shouting to his subordinates: "Turn left!" Xiangyou turn! Turn back! You idiots! "As he spoke, he kicked the ass of a recruit in the wrong direction. This unlucky guy immediately rolled in the mud, and quickly stood up again, and looked aggrieved, because no one could understand what he said, Huang Xiong's Mandarin was very "Ming Dynasty characteristics", which was tantamount to a foreign language for the locals of Lingao.

There is no time to teach Mandarin anymore, so Xi Yaya simply adopted the method of "learning in practice", so that the recruits can learn to accept Mandarin orders in practice. Maybe it's more in-depth to learn. At the end of the military parade of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the soldiers of the training battalion were awarded the rank of corporal, and a small number became sergeants, according to their performance and level of competence in the unit. A small number of outstanding ones were selected to participate in the officer training. The original indigenous squad leaders were all promoted to officers this time. It was during this promotion that Huang Xiong became a second lieutenant.

Those who were injured and disabled in previous battles were discharged with severance pay and assigned to work in different departments according to their remaining labor capacity.

A very small number of soldiers in the training battalions were not immediately promoted to sergeant or participated in officer training

They took part in a short-term training course organized by the General Administration of Political Security in Bairencheng. The task of political defense was scraped and brainwashed.

I was elected to train. They are all politically desperate people who are desperate for crossing the group, and after participating in the training, they are still incorporated into the army with the rank of sergeant, and each battalion has ten such sergeants, called the "ten-man regiment", which is responsible for consolidating the troops, preventing escape, defecting to the enemy, and preventing spies from penetrating into the army. This system has been secretly practiced since the time of the training camp. The identities of these people are kept secret, and even Xi Yaya does not know which people are members of the "Group of Ten".

According to Jihua of the General Administration of Political Defense, in the future, a "ten-man regiment" system should be established in each company, so that each squad has a "political warrior" and a staggered system of checks and balances between officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers' committees. Tightly control the army.

A large number of recruits then began to build their own barracks under the command of the sergeants. They were assigned to the subordinates of these newly promoted sergeants according to their establishment and began to train. In view of the problems that appeared in the first phase of the training camp in various aspects, the Military Commission revised the entire training program and combat manual. Further emphasis is placed on queues, shooting, and earthwork scraping. In particular, the queue drill will be presided over by Lin Shenhe to conduct a special hanging drill for the changes of the infantry queue in the old century.

In addition to the original infantry instruction, the army is expected to form a standard six-company infantry battalion.

A special forces training team was set up: there was a company of communications, an engineer and a company of radiant weight, and a team of carrier pigeons was attached to it, and the breeding of carrier pigeons was relatively fast compared to horses with a big temper.

The artillery training corps was supplemented with an army field artillery company. At the suggestion of the leading group for artillery work, the army field artillery unified its equipment and was equipped with only three basic types of artillery: , according to ... Twin cannons, Chuan You, Koukou mountain howitzers and... Concave, type out of the pound howitzer. All kinds of miscellaneous artillery under the field artillery establishment were reheated.

The General Staff was very careful to station the troops in the various control areas of the Crossing Group for training. The maximum size of each place is no more than one battalion. According to Ma Qianzhuo, in a place like Lingao, it is almost the same to use the infantry battalion as the basic unit to act. Lin Shenhe also held the same view, and he clearly pointed out in his plan for training operations: The infantry should take the battalion as the basic unit, and the cavalry, artillery, engineer, and heavy infantry should take the company as the basic unit. Regiments can only be used as crafting units.

The navy's naval corps was also expanded by a company. Originally, the Admiralty was intended to be expanded into a naval barracks, but the navy's ship sailors and fortress artillery accounted for most of the recruits assigned to the navy. In addition, the Military Commission also made it very clear. For the time being, the Navy does not need to expand its land-based combat capabilities. Or concentrate Liliang on ship forces.

After Yellow Bear became a second lieutenant. Promoted to platoon commander. Although Huang Xiong didn't know much about the military system of the century, he easily understood that he had returned from the ranks of "soldiers" to the ranks of "officials". This lowest-level "second lieutenant" is probably an officer in the Ming army.

However, the officers of the Australians are obviously not as nourished as the officers of the Ming Dynasty, not in terms of money, but in terms of prestige. Originally, he was the general manager of a thousand, almost the same as the emperor of the soil, and the soldiers under him were basically the servants of the officers. But here in Australians, as sergeants and officers, they have the right to manage their soldiers in strict accordance with military orders and discipline, but things such as abusing soldiers and demanding money from soldiers for no reason are absolutely not allowed here. Each company had a soldiers' committee, which would often go down to the company to preach the power of the soldiers. Once a soldier is "complained" or, in the new style, "complained", the soldiers' committee will send someone to secretly investigate and report the results to the "chief". The end is not known, and Huang Xiong knows that there is a sergeant because of the gain

"Said Worrying Bamboo, I want the new recruits to buy wine for him to celebrate. Tamed by the Committee of the Ten Soldiers. Immediately withheld for three months. Demoted to Private 1st Class.

Tian Liang was also promoted. His performance was very average, so he was only promoted to corporal, became the squad leader of a recruit squad, and practiced with nine recruit brothers every day. His Mandarin is not standard, and he will speak his hometown dialect when he is in a hurry. But being able to install a cloth sign on his bare shoulders and sew three yellow carryings has made Tian Liang very happy, and he is no longer an ordinary big-headed soldier now. The size is also considered a "sergeant". Military salaries have also been increased. He always wanted to go to Guo Fu and let her see what he looked like now. However, the place where she works is not allowed to enter and leave the Bairen General Hospital at will, and the unit's currency training tasks are particularly busy; in addition to training, she has to spare two days a week to participate in labor, and the troops are assigned to work on various construction sites in a company unit. The work, the exercises, and the cultural and political studies every night exhausted the people, and there was basically no time to think about other things.

Although every day in addition to training is work, but rumors of fighting have spread among the officers. Sense of acuteness, the people have already learned from the propaganda of climate change, the next goal is to suppress the bandits.

Since a month ago. The content of the unit's scraping and training has been changed, allowing the unit to conduct combat in small groups in small groups in the mountains, to train its ability to fight in the mountains, and to strengthen long-distance precision shooting. In addition to the change in the content of the exercises, the more obvious sign was that in the regular political study every week, the victims of bandits from all over the county began to appear, and this group of people, old and young, wept on the stage and wiped their tears, crying to the soldiers about all kinds of terrible things that had been mutilated by the bandits. Because most of the recruits are from Lingao, they have also had personal experience of the invasion of Tuzai. Under the skillful guidance of "political warriors". Many recruits also jumped on the stage to grieve the disaster caused by the bandits. It didn't take long to set the mood up.

As a result, I don't know who got up the head, and the crooked "Letter of Determination to Ask for War" began to appear on the blackboard newspapers of each company one after another.

"Immediately publish a series of reports on the problem of local banditry in the Lingao Times." Ding Ding received a call from the Propaganda Department in the editorial office.

"Ding Ding quickly picked up the pencil, "What is the point of the report?" ”

"There are four points to pay attention to: first, clearly state that the local banditry is a historical factor and has nothing to do with the current county officials; 2. It implies that the long-term nature of the bandit is related to the officials and officials in some places; 3. Focus on the impact of banditry on local people's livelihood; Fourth, it is not allowed to express or imply the attitude of the crossing group towards the bandits. ”

"Understood." Ding Ding thought about it and scribbled a few ideas on his notebook.

"But I don't have any information, I'm looking for an interviewer

"Tomorrow you can come to the Intelligence Committee to get the information. After that, go and pick it up once a week. "The interview, we will arrange it, and we will call you when the time comes." ”

"Got it." Ding Ding's pen is flying, and the teacher is shouting and writing.

"The proofs before publication must be submitted to the Publicity Department for review. When the time comes, you must also participate in it

"I'll come."

"In addition to the newspapers that have been archived, these newspapers should be arranged for distribution to ensure that most of them are distributed to the locals." The phone hangs up.

"Are you going to crack down on bandits?" Tintin muttered to himself. He didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly found someone to bring Zhou Dongtian to discuss the matter of typesetting.

He Ming, dressed in a neat gray army uniform, walked into the operational conference room of the General Staff Headquarters with a small step. Everyone in the conference room stood up and saluted.

He Ming returned the salute. Although he was only in his early fifties, his hair was a little gray and short-shaved. It looks very spiritual.

He did not have any polite words: "Comrades, now the first work conference on the suppression of bandits is held during the day." After speaking, the "brush" opened the map curtain behind him, and inside was a large-scale map of the Lingao situation, covered with a wipeable transparent sheet. A lot of marks have been scribbled with a red and blue pen.

"Now, please inform the Intelligence Committee to report the situation of the high bandits."

Luo Zhong stood up. I opened a thick folder in my hand.

"Comrades, the pamphlet in front of you is our social work department's comprehensive investigation report on the bandit situation in Lingao."

Immediately, there was a sound of flipping through the booklets.

"According to the comprehensive information of all our departments, the situation of bandits in Lingao is like this."

The bandit problem in Lingao is very serious. In ancient society, the government's control over the local government was very weak. Banditry is often found in slightly more remote places. Even during the Kangqian period, which was known as the prosperous era, there were a large number of ten bandits in the Miaofeng Mountain area that left the capital and was only a hundred miles away. Lingao is located on the border and has been sparsely populated for a long time. Whether it is the government or the local government, Liliang has very little power to maintain social order. This makes the banditry unusually rampant.

Luo Shi said: "According to our investigation, we know that there are 38 bandits with more than 50 people who have been active for a long time in the county; Seven units with more than 100 people do not include many household bandits who usually farm and have trouble with their families. ”

This figure caused a commotion in the crowd. It is necessary to know that the actual population of Lingao, according to the estimates of the civil affairs department, is about 70,000 or 80,000. There are so many bandits in a county with less than 100,000 people!

Due to the geographical environment. The activities of bandits here are also characterized by collusion with pirates. Every time a pirate lands. They are all linked by bandits, and bandits' dens often become pirates' dens. Once the bandits are most desperately suppressed by the government or the militia groups, they will use the pirate's ships to go to the sea to escape. This makes it very difficult to suppress bandits. The successive prefectural orders have not thought of a way, but their role is very limited. Extensive regimental building and training of village courage can only play a limited role in local self-preservation.

It is impossible for the people to carry out social surveys and carry out reforms in civil affairs and agriculture in Lingao without a stable social order. It is inconceivable that each team of traversers will have to arrange a large number of armed escorts to the countryside. The various infrastructure that will be built afterwards cannot be built along the line. Have the soldiers stand guard and defend them.
