But to Zhou Huai'an's surprise, it took a little more effort and twists and turns on the road to clean up the rear camp at the end of the local hand, which was actually not the latest to arrive.

In the end, it was late in two days, but it was Lin Ziquan, the head of the left sub-battalion, and everyone was wounded and their clothes and armor were stained with mud and blood, and the whole looked a little tired and lost; As for the people they brought, they were even more unbearable, most of them were poorly clothed, with only a small amount of linen draped over their bodies.

It is in particular contrast to the auxiliary men of the later battalion, who have improvised tailor-made gowns and hats of the same color.

Subsequently, when receiving and treating the wounded, I learned that not long ago, the left sub-battalion encountered a relatively strong village in the Chaoshan area, and let them besiege and attack for a few days; There are also barbarians from the mountains as helpers, constantly harassing and destroying their rear;

In the end, it was a lot of old brothers who were damaged, and it took the boss's effort to get it down, and finally it was burned to a ruin in anger; As a result, there were several losses in personnel and materials.

Although the number of people in Zhou Huai'an's rear camp was the smallest all the way, it was even inferior to the front camp with only five hundred people; But in contrast, the money and food obtained from the localities are more than the sum of the other roads combined; And this is still in the case that Zhou Huai'an deliberately has reservations in some key numbers (mainly those objects that are thick and bulky and occupy more volume and weight).

Most of them were handed over to the public, and only a small part remained for the self-use of the rear camp, which was almost measured by a month and a half of heads; With him starting this and as a reference, the other sub-camps had to follow suit and hand over most of the belongings to confiscate one after another.

Then for this reason, Wang Pan specially scolded his mother and commended his mother in a small range of military discussions, especially emphasizing the truth that honest people must not be allowed to suffer in the open;

Therefore, after the delivery of these materials changed hands, they almost doubled back to Zhou Huai'an's control. Who called him the main ministry, or the manager of the general affairs in the rear?

Then his first order was to first count the new and old condition of various grains and the corresponding shelf life, and then formulate different treatment plans according to these classifications; For example, as a new grain harvested in the recent autumn, there is basically no need to deal with it, and as long as it is further dried and dehydrated, it can be stored in the bag for at least half a year; If it is stored with crushed charcoal and coarse salt, it may take longer.

The summer grain that lasts a little longer should be further spread out to remove mildew and dandruff, and then be treated according to the former; The old grains that are obviously separated from each other year must also be sifted, and the rotten ones can only be boiled and fed with bran and soybean meal, or mixed with forage to make feed cakes and straw bricks;

Those that are barely edible are ground and cooked on the spot, then mixed with salted vegetables, dried moss, and sauce to form a ball, and then baked on a special stove and iron mold into pieces, lightweight, small and easy to carry dead biscuits. Among them, it is secretly divided into three categories, the most common is to provide ordinary soldiers, the size of a palm, very anti-hunger hard condensed biscuit version, if not soaked in water to soften, can only be gnawed down with teeth little by little.

Then it is for the small leaders, add a small amount of soybean oil, gray sugar and coarse salt, and ferment and puff to improve the taste; Finally, there are a small number of upgraded high-end versions for the bosses, with different ingredients such as fish floss, preserved meat, cured poultry and bacon, and enema.

Secondly, all the new soldiers who are knitting are issued with a complete set of basic clothes and equipment: a gray homespun cloth gown (worn outside) and a vest (inner lining), a bamboo hat covered with oiled paper and a three-foot head wrapping cloth, a pair of old and sturdy mango shoes (straw sandals) and a pair of hard shoes with thick wood bottom pulp edges, and two gaiter belts, one thick and one thin; A bamboo kettle and bowl, a cloth belt to hang bits and pieces, a tray of straw to tie everything up.

Each fire also has common sewing kits, gravel stones, hulu, fire bowls, rattan baskets, tent cloths and other sundries, and each team has more clothes, straw mats, felt cloths, panniers, carts and other items; Each brigade was further equipped with donkeys and oxen, as well as animal-powered carts and tents, iron tools of all colors, and bamboo and wood.

In this way, about six or seven thousand heads are still left. However, when he stopped on the way to the army, he sent people from the nearby villages to collect and purchase people's biological items such as rice, wheat cloth, salt, and iron tools. Although there are still some deviations in the size and craftsmanship of shoes, hats and quilts, after centralized sorting and simple classification, those new pawns who are accustomed to bald heads and bare feet will not temporarily dislike and complain.

The next step is to cooperate with the distribution of these things, synchronize personal service and hygiene activities;

The new recruits from the other sub-battalions were pulled into the temporary camps under the jurisdiction of the First Brigade in batches according to the order of seniority to which they belonged. Under mutual supervision and assistance in the demarcated and intercepted sections of the river, the whole body is washed and checked for health with a bristle brush, and then the excess hair is removed from the body, and scabies and other skin diseases that may be transmitted on the body are treated.

Some people whose physical fitness is unbearable, or who need to be recuperated and treated, are filtered and separated and disposed of; And the rest of them are eligible to start eating soldiers and carry out designated activities. In this process, there will be a third team of doctors, who will take turns to inspect and inspect, further screen and pick out some people who may have potential internal diseases or injuries, and do another type of observation and treatment.

Therefore, it is only at the stage of personal service and hygiene that we can complete the process of personal washing and cleaning, the maintenance and storage of personal belongings, the cleaning before and after meals, and the preparation before going to bed.

Finally, there is a simple process of preaching and reciting military discipline and rules and passwords.

Under the joint sitting method of mutual supervision, those who cannot complete the corresponding basic indicators will not be given food or sleep, and will be detained in the camp for rectification over and over again until they meet the requirements before being released; And those who refuse to change their ways, or attempt to confront, or violate them in private, will not be soft at all in the slightest in terms of military law punishment, from being beaten with sticks, flails, and platforms to losing their lives, so as to set an example for future generations.

Because it involves the principles of collective hygiene and a healthy environment, in such a dense group, if there is a single source of omission, it is very likely that a large collateral impact will be lost. Even if it is a little troublesome and complaining now, it is better than lying down a large area afterwards and asking someone to remedy it in a hurry.

Of course, this is his explanation and rhetoric from the public heart in the face of Wang Pan and other upper-level leaders of the rebel army about whether he will go too far and waste resources.

From a personal point of view, although he has received several multiple vaccines in Africa, the devil knows what happened during the crossing, and whether it will continue to work, so he simply supports the situation and tries to make the environment he is in as decent as possible to reduce some unnecessary probability.
