455. Favors and Strictness
Sweat more during training and bleed less during wartime, everyone understands this truth, but when it comes to implementation, there is a difference, Sangou tries to raise the requirements, and then raise the requirements.
As the old saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days is a while, and now how can there be time for Sangou and China to raise troops for a thousand days, it seems that after this New Year, as soon as the logistics of the devils are ready, there will be a large-scale campaign.
Japan has been forgetting China's heart for hundreds of years, and now is the time when China is the weakest, and it is also the time when Japan is the strongest.
After hundreds of years of waiting and preparation, Japan will definitely not give up easily when it finally waits for this best opportunity.
Therefore, it is already very good to be able to raise soldiers for three dogs for three months, but for three months, what can you do, for recruits, in peacetime, it has just passed the training of the recruit company.
Now, time is not waiting for me, so it can't be called raising soldiers, it is called training for three months, it is used for a while, and after three months, when these recruits are pulled into the battlefield, I know that the quality of these three months of training is whether it is a mule or a horse, and they have to be pulled out for a walk.
In the past, Sangou was trained by the instructor of the military academy, and when he arrived on the battlefield of Songhu, although he was promoted rapidly, he was promoted from trainee platoon commander to deputy platoon commander, to platoon commander, deputy company commander, and even later company commander.
During the war, there was no chance to catch his breath, how could there be time to train the soldiers under his hands, especially when he was in Qingpu, a whole company of recruits was replenished, and he didn't even have time to train, and many people died before they could recognize their names.
This company of recruits was almost all killed in battle, which made Sangou always haunted and guilty, although it had little to do with his command.
It's just that they are pulled into the battlefield without any training, many of them are really cheap cannon fodder, are human lives really that worthless, they are all people with parents, no matter how worthless they are, they are all the meat of their parents' hearts.
Now, I finally have the opportunity to have time to train a unit for Sangou personally, even if it is a small company, it is also a unit built by Sangou himself, much like a child born by himself.
Although Sangou is not married yet, he doesn't know what it's like to have children, but now, looking at this group of little tiger-like soldiers of the Seventh Company, Sangou has pride in his eyes in addition to love.
Parents should look at their children in this way.
Therefore, in the daily life outside of training, Sangou also did his best to create better conditions for everyone, taking advantage of the fact that there are funds in the company now, and the military salary is paid in a timely manner, almost out of his pocket, and called the cooking team to the city to purchase delicious food and use.
Under the large amount of exercise, the supplement of body nutrition must keep up, otherwise the body will collapse, in the company's canteen, there are meat dishes at every meal every day, no matter how bad it is, at least one egg per person.
The things used, mainly in addition to the military uniforms and jackets issued, the three dogs called the bamboo poles and they went to purchase the best cotton underwear, thick socks, etc., as well as toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, etc.
Almost every day after the big training, even in the field or in the fortifications, the cooking class will boil several large pots of hot water, give everyone a hot bath, soak in hot water, and eliminate fatigue.
This is both a father and a mother, anyway, even a mess of things in the house, you have to think about it thoroughly, you can't be sloppy, wait for the logistics to take over, after getting used to this, Sangou will let it go.
Although Sangou was born poor, he never thought of making money on the heads of the soldiers under his hands, and drinking the blood of soldiers was such a thing, firstly, he would not let himself do it in his conscience.
Second, Niu Gu had a deep influence on him, Niu Gu's boldness and use of money made Sangou admire, and when Niu Gu was promoted to deputy battalion commander, he said a word to Sangou:
"Sangou, you are the company commander, in terms of command, I have nothing to say, but in terms of management, you must remember one thing, don't be greedy for the soldiers' money."
If you want to make money, you have to earn it from somewhere else, don't make money on the soldiers' heads, firstly, they are all from poor backgrounds, and they can't help it, and secondly, how many soldiers who have been deducted and can't stand it, shoot black guns at their commanders on the battlefield.
Sangou has heard of these for a long time, so he basically does not touch the company's funds, and regularly discloses the income and expenditure of all funds so that everyone can understand.
In fact, it is necessary to make every soldier feel that this company is at least very clean in terms of money, and everyone can check the accounts, so that everyone can feel like a master, so that they are willing to contribute to this company, or even sell their lives.
Of course, Sangou doesn't want to be a miser, after all, it is a war year, and everyone can be sacrificed at any time, so there is only money, in addition to sending people to buy daily necessities, Sangou can enjoy everything else that everyone can enjoy.
The daughter is scattered and comes back, but once sacrificed, life is gone, and nothing will come again, so in everyone's lifetime, try to meet all reasonable requirements and enjoyment of everyone.
As for gambling, opium smoking, and visiting kilns, the three dogs are strictly forbidden, and they are also strictly prohibited by the regular army.
Second, this kind of life is the easiest to corrode a person's will, and it is also easy to hollow out the original strong body.
It must be not, this kind of person is not only hateful, but also becomes a black sheep, a mouse poop spoils a pot of porridge, and brings a group of people around him.
When the time came to go to war, due to the impotence of the body and will, coupled with the life-saving mood bred by hedonism, before the war began, he thought about how to save his life and flee.
This kind of person, for fear of taking on the responsibility of escaping from the battle, will also trick and pull a group of people to flee together, I will go, if this is the case, this battle will basically not be fought.
What's even more odious is that once you get caught in those bad habits, the little salary you pay as a soldier can't support such a big expense at all, and you don't have money to go to pornography, gambling and drugs, what should you do?
Stealing, robbing, soldiers have guns in their hands, and they will naturally take weapons to rob the people's things, once this phenomenon occurs, the impact is very bad.
Those who rob the people will naturally be hated by the people, and naturally they will no longer get the support of the people, and they will not be able to get the support of their own people in their own land, so there is no need to fight this battle.
They will even drive the people into the enemy's camp, and some of the people who have a deep hatred will give the enemy a message, and some will even go into battle in person to die for the enemy.
Just as how the Hunan army in the Qing Dynasty collapsed, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was fought, the Hunan army was so brave and good at fighting, and what a beautiful scenery.
But as soon as the era of peace arrived, a large number of Hunan troops began to smoke opium, and the drugs quickly hollowed out the original strong body, and then corroded the strong will to fight.
The originally majestic Hunan army collapsed as a whole, and in the face of the foreign guns and cannons of the Eight-Nation Alliance, it was beaten to pieces.
In fact, at that time, whether it was the Hunan Army, the Huai Army, or the Green Battalion, in addition to the maritime armament, the equipment of guns and ammunition on land was no worse than that of the Eight-Nation Alliance.
The reason why the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was able to defeat the Qing army on land was because the Qing government was rotting into slag from top to bottom, from the outside to the inside, including the army.
