The scale and area of Shijingshan Industrial Zone is huge, in order to effectively guarantee the safety of this place. The recruitment of recruits for the Tiance Army has been carried out in an orderly manner. Those who can be qualified to enter the Tiance Army will include those who have been absorbed, and those who joined the starting point city before the Battle of Jingshi.

Those who are outside this range and are willing to join the army will be organized into regimental training and hired after observing their performance in the future.

After the rebellion of the Beijing Division, the achievements of the Tiance Army are obvious to all. The treatment of the soldiers of the Tiance Army is also well known to the general public, especially the situation of receiving awards for meritorious service, which makes most people flock to it.

The key is that apart from the brilliant achievements of the Tiance Army, there are very few casualties.

Therefore, as soon as the recruitment notice of the starting point city was posted, it immediately aroused onlookers in the starting point city and Shijingshan Industrial Zone, and the number of applicants continued to rise.

There are not only ordinary people, but also some people who have served in the Ming army and have also come to apply. As a result, these people were told that they could go to the militia first. The militia is not bad, three taels of silver a month, but it is only responsible for public security, and the danger is still small.

The reason why Wang Yue did not directly recruit Yuan Mingjun was because he was worried that some of their bad habits would be difficult to change.

Tiance Army started with five taels of silver a month, including food and accommodation, two meals of meat and vegetables a day, and all kinds of daily necessities. There are also allowances for fighting, and after cultural training, the salary of an officer is higher. This kind of treatment is incomparable with ordinary workers.

After physical examinations, interviews, and registration, the first batch of more than 3,000 recruits was quickly in place.

Those who know how to read and count will be formed into a separate team and trained as a key accompaniment to technical arms in the future. Those who can ride horses are incorporated into cavalry.

Liu Gaoming is a recruit in the New Corps. He was a native of Daxing, and after being captured by the Qing soldiers, he joined the construction of Shijingshan Industrial Zone.

The salary in the industrial zone is not low, but it cannot be compared with the Tiance Army. The main thing was that the Qing army killed his sister, so he had a bitter hatred for the Manchus.

The combat power of the Tiance Army, he saw it clearly under the starting point city. Therefore, he was determined to join the Tiance Army, thinking that the Tiance Army would definitely be able to sweep Liaodong and kill all the Tartars.

After Liu Gaoming was hired by the Tiance Army, his team was happy for him. I don't know how many people went to apply and were brushed down, and only Liu Gaoming became the lucky one in this team.

His father was also happy for him, so he took out a few taels of silver and asked the co-workers with whom he worked to rub it. After working in the industrial zone for a few months, everyone has more or less some money.

Liu Gaoming was assigned to the first platoon and one squad of the second company of the first battalion of the new corps. On the first day of reporting, all the recruits were given a big gift bag.

Military uniforms, shoes and socks, military bottles, quilts, towels, soap and other daily necessities. In addition, one person was also given a plastic card with their information.

The barracks of the new regiment are near Shijingshan, with rows of prefabricated houses. There are six bunk beds per class, each with a communal bathhouse and a public toilet.

As soon as they entered the barracks and put down their luggage, the company commander ordered all the soldiers to go to the shower immediately. The rule in the barracks is that all soldiers must take a bath every three days.

Of course, Liu Gaoming knows the use of soap, and he has used it a lot in Shijingshan Industrial Zone.

After taking a bath, I started to eat, one by one, and the cafeteria. You only need to show your plastic nameplate to the cook in the window to receive a sumptuous set meal. Two meats, one vegetable and one soup, the rice tube is full.

This kind of meal is a step up from the canteen in the industrial zone, and every recruit feels the pride of being a Tiance army.

After dinner, it was time for the instructor to give a lecture. In order to strengthen the cohesion of the army, the political training department of the Tiance Army first delegated political training cadres to the new corps, and the political training work began with the recruits.

"Everyone, on behalf of the Tiance Army and the commander of the Tiance Army, Wang Yuewang, welcome you to join the Tiance Army." ”

The instructor was the first to speak and took the lead in applauding. The other officers, including these recruits, understood the meaning of applause, so there was a round of applause.

After the applause subsided, the instructor continued: "Since you have become a member of the Tiance Army, you are not ordinary people, but soldiers. As a qualified soldier, you have no choice but to obey the orders from above, just like what the human head thinks then the human hand should do. Otherwise, the army will be scattered and will have no combat effectiveness. ”

"Our Tiance Army is the army of the starting point city, and it is the army of Lord Wang Yue. This army is an army that fights to defend the city of the starting point, an army to fight against foreign enemies, an army that expands the territory of our nation, and an army that fights to protect the people of this land. ”

In feudal imperial states, the concept of nation is rarely raised to the same level as the state.

Here, I quote the view of the sage Mencius that the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light, to tell you that our army is an army that is people-oriented. Our army is an army that protects the people and works for the welfare of the people under the leadership of Wang Yue, and it is an army that serves the people. ”

The level of education of these soldiers was too low, and Wang Yue thought that such slogans were easier for them to understand. The Tiance Army will not propagate such a lofty central idea as the idea of loyalty to the monarch and serving the people, and these soldiers from the bottom of the society like to listen to it more, and by the way, the image of Comrade Wang Yue, the core of the leadership, has also become taller.

This time, the applause was even more enthusiastic, and there is no doubt that the slogan of Tiance Army is just and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Liu Gaoming's palms were red, and he was proud to join such an army. At that time, Wang Yue's actions to protect the people under the starting point city had already been praised by those Daxing people.

What the chief said today corresponds to what Wang Yue did, so Wang Yue's image is higher in their minds.

Huang Bo, director of the Political Training Division of the Tiance Army Headquarters, provided Wang Yue with recordings of the speeches of the instructors of each company.

After listening carefully to them one by one, Wang Yue praised Huang Bo and said: "Director Huang has done a good job, and all the instructors are very responsible." ”

Huang Bo said modestly: "If it wasn't for the commander's suggestion, how could his subordinates do this." ”

Wang Yue said with a smile: "You don't have to be modest, I just drew an outline, and you have already done so much, which shows that you are very suitable for political work." ”

Huang Bo didn't continue to be modest, he said: "I plan to set up a propaganda team within the army to do this work. ”

Wang Yue nodded and said: "Yes, it will be called the Propaganda Department, your Political Training Office will be renamed the Political Training Department, and the Propaganda Office will be under your jurisdiction." This scope of publicity can be expanded to the entire starting point city, and in the future, the political training scope of your political training department will also be the entire starting point city. ”
