Chapter 165: Senseless Self-Esteem
"It doesn't matter, the military expenses of the Xuanwei Army are paid by the Hui Yi Supervision Office, not the Ministry of War, whether the Xuanwei Army is 3,000 or 7,000 people, the Ministry of War will not care, you just need to consider whether the Hui Yi Supervision Office can bear these expenses. As the deputy envoy of Hui Yi Supervision, I can clearly tell you that the money is enough, and everyone's expenses are in the planning, and now I am only putting some people who originally did not belong to the Xuanwei Army for training under the name of the Xuanwei Army to facilitate management. But when recruiting, they should be told that their treatment is only equivalent to that of the van army, and there is no treatment of the forbidden army, unless they perform well and are promoted to the combat team. ”
"I understand what my lord means, we actually want to recruit a homeless army as labor, to do things for the Xuanwei army and the fleet, but we don't have the power to form a box army, so we hang this army under the Xuanwei army, recruit in the name of recruiting the Xuanwei army, and train in the name of the Xuanwei army, right?"
"That's right. When this unit is recruited and established, you will be responsible for training and managing it, and you will not be paid military salaries, but you will have to take care of your food. There are many fish in the sea, and if some of the recruited people can fish, they can buy a few large boats and send a group of people to go to the sea to catch fish, which can also save some military expenditures. Of course, the fish that should be purchased from the county government should continue to be purchased, and the quantity should not be reduced. If you can't finish eating, you can save it first. I found that on this island, the fish cannot be sold, eaten, and stinky after a day, so the fish are very unpopular. But my hometown is different, there are many fish, but fishing is more difficult, sometimes fish, reluctant to eat, just want to put the New Year's holiday, in order to prevent spoilage, some people dry the fish, but the raw fish is not delicious after drying, and some people cook the fish and then dry, the taste is very different, I have also seen a way to make fish meat, delicious and can be stored for a long time, the same as noodles, in my hometown called fish noodles. ”
"Fish noodles? Can fish make noodles? ”
"I'll tell you about this another day, when this army is built and the manpower is sufficient, you can make some fish that you can't eat, and you can use it as military rations. In addition to recruiting and building an army, there are a few things to be left to you to do, so let's talk about it first. The Xuanwei Army needs a place to practice bow archery, I found a place on the island that is more suitable, tomorrow I will go to the county government to find the county order, let him help build and open up, you go with me, and you will contact him later, and it must be built as soon as possible for the training of the Xuanwei Army. Another thing is military discipline, the Xuanwei Army is a new army, and it has heavy responsibilities, and it must have strict military discipline. Yang Congyi said and took out a few folded pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Jiang Kai.
Jiang Kaikai took a cursory look and said hesitantly: "It's too strict, I'm afraid the soldiers will be difficult to accept." ”
Yang Congyi said: "The situation at sea is too complicated, there is no strict discipline, it is difficult to ensure the completion of the important task of Xuanwei Nanyang, and all the officers and men of the Xuanwei Army must accept it." It can be carried out slowly in stages, but it must be implemented in an all-round way before going to sea, and it cannot be discounted or discussed, and without strict military discipline, we will pay an incalculable price, and this issue must be clearly explained to generals and officers at all levels. If you have something you can't understand, you can go to Sect Leader Wu and ask him to explain it to you. ”
Jiang Kai nodded and said: "Okay, I'll think about it and see how to implement it, there are indeed some regulations that I don't understand very well, I'll go and consult Sect Leader Wu another day." ”
Yang Congyi said: "Also, I have withdrawn 50,000 yuan from the Hui Yi Supervision Office in advance, and you will keep it in the future, and the account book of the Xuanwei Army will be given to you tomorrow." Don't be too economical in spending on the Xuanwei Army, but you can't waste it either. 50,000 yuan to save some money, it should be able to be used for about three months, and the military budget is not enough, so I will go to the supervision office to withdraw it. ”
"50,000 guan is not a small amount, I try to save a little bit, I should be able to use it for a while longer."
"Okay, it's not early, let's get here today and rest early." After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he got up.
"Slow down, adults." Jiang Kai got up to see him off.
Yang Congyi opened the door and went out, returned to the barracks, lit the lamp, grinded the paper, and wrote down the important things that were not easy to remember one by one, in case Jiang Kai and Shen Jin forgot them. Today's explanations of their affairs are very important, one person grasps financial power, the other grasps people's hearts, and if there is a slight mistake, Xuanwei Army may practice deviation or abandonment.
In the entire Xuanwei Army, the two of them are from Tai students, read sage books, value reputation, their minds are quite pure, they can do things wholeheartedly, they don't have too much selfishness, and Yang Congyi is still relieved to hand over these two most important things to them.
Write all the things that should be written, it was already late at night, but Yang Congyi did not feel the slightest sleep.
When you go out to the beach, the breeze blows and brings a little coolness, looking up at the bright full moon, the twinkling stars in the sky, listening to the roaring waves, and the silence in the camp, such a beautiful night!
He stood on the beach for a quarter of an hour.
Such a night view, although beautiful, but feel lonely!
He eventually went back to the barracks and went to sleep.
On the third day, when Yang Congyi woke up, he heard the sound of the soldiers in the camp. He hadn't woken up so late for a long time, probably because he slept too late last night. Turning his head to look out the window, the sky was cloudy.
When I walked out of the barracks, I saw Shen Jin's sleepy eyes and yawning.
Looking at the sky, it seems that it is not yet five watches, and Yang Congyi understands that it is not that he woke up late, but that the soldiers got up too early.
He only slept for less than two hours, but as a prisoner, he could not go back to the camp to sleep when the soldiers were out for training. I saw him pick up a gun and come to the open space in front of the barracks, shake a few guns to warm up, and then began to practice guns.
Since joining Hui Yi Duzao at the beginning of the year, the number of gun practice is only a handful, and most of the time is either on the road, or busy, and there is no leisure to practice gun at all. Now that I'm practicing my gun again, I find that I feel a lot more rusty than before. Moon sticks, New Year knives, lifelong guns, and swords are hidden with you, it seems that it still makes sense, and if you don't practice for a few months, you can feel the difference. It seems that no matter how busy you are in the future, you have to carry this gun with you, you can't waste it, if you don't have martial arts, you can't go to the battlefield, how can you earn war merits and become a commander?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, if you don't practice guns in the past few months, you still get the identity of deputy envoy of Hui Yi, since you have been appointed as deputy envoy of Hui Yi, you have done almost all the things of civilian officials, you will see this official for a while, you will see that official for a while, you will carry a gun with you, and you are not fighting, and you are not wearing armor and military uniforms, no matter how you look at it, it will be awkward. Thinking about it further, Yang Congyi subconsciously didn't want to admit that he was a military attaché, so he didn't want to carry a gun with him.
After a few trips of marksmanship practice, I slowly regained some feelings, and after an hour, the marksmanship proficiency returned to the previous level, but at this time I was also sweating profusely and could not continue to practice.
When he was resting on his gun, Yang Congyi figured out the crux of not practicing the gun for several months, completely because of his self-esteem, for fear that the civilian officials would know his status as a military attache and be looked down upon. But if he can't admit his military attache background from his heart, then how can he earn military merits and rise to a high enough position in the future? Even if he doesn't want to be exposed, what is his background, the officials have a bottom, and they are clear, it is impossible for him to be the chief bookkeeper, the county magistrate, and the county magistrate, and if he wants to be a civil official, there is no door!
Since it's useless to hide it, what else is this poor self-esteem going to do? A military attache is a military attaché, and you have to face up to this identity and origin! Only by daring to face yourself can you win respect!
What's wrong with the military attaché's background, can't he do a good job of returning to Yi to supervise? Whether you can do it or not obviously has nothing to do with your background.
Marksmanship and martial arts, you have to practice every day in the future, and the military attache must have the true character of a military attaché.
After resting for a while, and dancing again, Yang Congyi only felt that he was in a good mood.
The sky is bright and the sun is rising.
In a small harbor, dozens of boats of all sizes gathered, people came and went, getting on and off the boats, a busy scene, almost all of them were passenger ships that rushed to Mingzhou in the morning.
There were three young men in long robes, walking slowly towards the harbor.
It was Yang Congyi, who had completed all the arrangements, and Jiang Kai and Shen Jin, who came to see him off.
"Stay on board, it's time for me to board the ship." Yang Congyi turned around.
"Brother Yang, don't worry, we will do our best to handle the things you explained." Jiang Kai replied.
"Brother Yang, you go and get busy with you, when you come back, we'll talk about the wine again." Shen Jin smiled.
Yang Congyi laughed: "Alcohol is not allowed in the camp, just forget about it." Let's go. With that, he turned around and boarded the passenger ship.
"Brother Yang, cherish all the way!"
"Have a nice trip!"
Yang Congyi boarded the bow of the boat, turned around and waved to the two people under the boat, and said loudly: "Go back, goodbye!" With that, he walked into the cabin.
In the past two days, the handover of the things that should be handed over has been made clear, and both of them should be able to do a good job and there will be no major problems.
Military discipline is being implemented, the construction of the shooting range has been negotiated with the county order, and all logistical matters can be taken over one by one. Military training is with Zhao An and Uncle's teaching group, and there will be no problem. Therefore, the Xuanwei Army has been officially built, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes combat effective.
Although Lord Huang doesn't care about the affairs of the Xuanwei Army, he is also the commander of the Xuanwei Army, the number one person in the Xuanwei Army, and the Xuanwei Army is completed, so he has to report it carefully to him. No army can break away from the control of the imperial court, and if he does not know the specific situation and progress of the army, he will inevitably not be impeached once asked by the Privy Council or the Ministry of War.
Yang Congyi originally wanted to go directly to Quanzhou, but when he thought that the affairs of the army were more important, and he couldn't delay too long when he went back, he decided to go back to Lin'an first and report the affairs of the Xuanwei Army clearly.
The passenger ship is offshore, and it will arrive in Mingzhou in about an hour.
After entering the city, he bought a horse without delay, and hurried all the way to Lin'an.
On this day, Yang Congyi urged the horse to travel hundreds of miles, close to noon, the scorching sun was in the sky, the weather was hot, and the thirst was unbearable, but the tea shop and restaurant were not met on the side of the road.
When he was anxious, he suddenly saw a pavilion on the side of the road in front of him, and there was a carriage outside the pavilion, and there were people in the pavilion.
