"Ma Degong and Ma Deli have been captured, and Ma Degong has been screaming every day for three days to see you." Lin Chengcheng walked into Zhang Qiang's tent and said to Zhang Qiang.

Lin Chengcheng is forced to do so, the situation in Shandong Prefecture is grim, everything has to be done by him, the director of the punishment camp, although the work is good, but it is too tiring, he is now the director of the national punishment camp, and he is not managing the prisoners and hard labor in Shandong Prefecture, as well as the criminals in the whole country, he also has to manage the aborigines and enemy prisoners captured in those small Southeast Asian countries, as well as the enemy prisoners on the treasure island, it can be said that he is the first tired person in the whole Huaxia Army.

Even Zhou Congee, who deals with government affairs every day, is not as hard as him, Zhou Congee has the experienced secretaries of the entire cabinet, and there are cabinet scholars to help him handle government affairs, and he is busier than Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji's Ministry of Defense seems to be fighting every day, and there is either a little friction in the periphery of the country, or a battle of tens of thousands of troops, and a battle of more than 100,000 people will happen once a month or once every three months, and everything that needs to be done during this period is gone, but this is not a reason for Wei Wuji to be busy, because Zhang Qiang has set up a general staff, and there is a staff branch in each direction to staff and dispatch various armies and coordinate localities, and make plans, he only needs to manage some daily affairs, And it is enough to listen to the chief of the General Staff to report to him.

As long as there are many prisoners produced by large-scale battles, he has to run to solve these prisoners, and he has to let his subordinates investigate, screen, send them back to their hometowns, resettle, and send them to the prisoner camp, and find a place for the prisoner camp, contact the surrounding local military forces to send food and supplies to the prisoner camp, and transfer experienced punishment camp officials and thugs, instructors, supervisors and a series of other tasks from other places, all of which he has to arrange.

In fact, the most important thing is that there are two major battles currently taking place in two directions, one is the war of annihilation of small countries in Southeast Asia, the use of manpower and material resources, army, militia, and people more than tens of millions, which is a big thing that takes a long time to do for any country that has matured and developed for many years, not to mention that the Chinese army is not a complete or stable country now, and it is still growing in the stage of formation.

In the past, Lin Chengcheng was the most useless general in the Huaxia Army, but now he is the busiest official and the busiest in the country.

Without the cooperation of his punishment battalions, the national road network could not have been built, and without his cooperation, there would not have been so many converted militias to maintain local law and order, and to send so many cold-armed soldiers in the early stage, low-level soldiers and low-level officers in the mid-term armies, and even many middle-level officers and elite soldiers, and 300,000 of the country's current million-strong army were converted from prisoners by his punishment camps.

These soldiers are aging, retiring, and becoming a burden to the local government, as well as helpers, because they form the local militia joint defense team, which is controlled and managed by the yamen, and makes a great contribution to the maintenance of local stability.

The punishment camp is actually equivalent to the prison and re-education through labor system of later generations, those militias and retired soldiers who can't go to war, and the disabled militia is actually the people's police of later generations, solving the headaches and cumbersome things such as the east and the west family, the daughter-in-law quarrels, the mother-in-law flees, and the husband splits his legs. Reserve Forces.

The field brigade is equivalent to the combat unit of the military region of the whole country, and the Guards Brigade is the garrison unit of the Beijing Division, the ace unit.

Of course, the punishment battalion is far more than that, they are equivalent to the engineering brigade and construction corps in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and they are also equivalent to the transportation and baggage troops on the battlefield and the engineering troops.

Lin Chengcheng sat on the chair next to Zhang Qiang tiredly and reported to Zhang Qiang, Zhang Qiang smiled and said to him: "Tired, in fact, you don't have to work so hard, just leave everything to the people below, it's too much, it's not conducive to the talent of the people below, it's not good for their growth, what are we working so hard for, enjoy the blessings, you don't understand the happiness, I'm afraid that others will rob you of your credit, I'm afraid that your own credit is not enough, and you can't be promoted, as for it?" You are now considered a founding hero in the Huaxia Army, and you are an old qualification, so why care about that bit of credit, let it go. ”

Lin Chengcheng was already a little old, but when he heard Zhang Qiang's words, he immediately stood up, "Dadu Governor, since I followed Dadu Governor, I am in front of and behind the saddle, I know that I have no ability, if I want to be promoted, I have to work hard if I want to get rich, now maybe my official has come to an end, but I don't dare to slack off, as long as the Dadu Governor orders something, my Lao Lin will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire." ”

"Not to mention, how many prisoners, how many prisoners are in prison, how many hard labor prisoners are there in the whole country? How many of those people are in detention? Zhang Qiang waved his hand, signaling him to stop mentioning this topic, and talk about the current issue.

Lin Yangcheng thought about it, and finally shook his head, took out a fold from his sleeve, looked at it carefully, and then said: "At present, there are 60,000 criminals in the core area, and 30,000 hard labor prisoners in the early years and ten years, Ma Bao and others were held in solitary confinement after the escape case, did not do work, and were closely guarded. Then everyone forgot about them, so they are still being held. ”

Zhang Qiang touched his chin and said while thinking: "It's too cheap for them, send them all to the mine to dig pits, just detain them for wasting food, not to mention the waste of food, and it has not yet been produced, and we have to occupy our troops, let those criminals guard the hard laborers, the light crimes will guard the heavy crimes, and the heavy crimes will guard those hard laborers."

Well, that is to say, for example, in a mine, our militia guards the periphery, and the passes inside the mine, and the soldiers of the garrison company stationed in the camp are guarded, and those people who commit crimes are arrested and arrested by the yamen, but they do not serve a long sentence, about half a year and a year, they guard those who have served more age and crimes than them, and these criminals who have not been in the mine for a long time are responsible for cooking, barracks construction, and statistics of the minerals produced every day, and manage the camp.

The garrison battalion and the militia brigade dispatched one to five chief officers to cooperate with the management officers of the mine punishment battalion appointed by the punishment battalion, and the thugs, supervisors, and ordinary baggage logistics management personnel used these criminals for a short time to carry materials, do miscellaneous work, and transport the minerals in the pit with felons, and rank them step by step from the time they served their sentences to their conduct, and the longer the time, the heavier the crime, the worse the character, and the heavier the work, and the hardest and most tired guys were all felons.

The underneath the mine and under the pit are given to the prisoners of hard labor, but the management rights of the felons cannot be given. At regular intervals, the mine's correctional battalion commanders and the criminals with the shortest service time are elected and voted for, and they are asked to score and rate the felons, and the top 100 are commuted and transferred to slightly better jobs.

The same is true for the convicts of hard labor, but this time the first 100 commuted prisoners who have been assessed are allowed to participate in the assessment of the convicts, and every mine and every punishment camp implements this method, and the first 100 convicts and heavy convicts in the camp are commuted, and the commutation time is divided into 10 days, 20 days, one month, three months, six months, and a year.

As for criminals who have committed minor crimes, they will be carried out according to the length of time they have served their sentences, and there is no need to assess or reduce their sentences, but if they do not do a good job or make mistakes, they should be given a heavier punishment, or they should be transferred to a more difficult post, or they should be added to the sentence for 10 days to 1 month, and there is no limit to the number of times. ”

Lin Chengcheng patiently listened to Zhang Qiang's words, waited for Zhang Qiang to stop, and hurriedly picked up the teacup on the table and handed it over, "Governor, please drink tea." ”

"Don't wait passively for work, think of more ways, and coordinate more with other yamen, otherwise you won't know why you're tired, and your superiors won't consider whether you are tired to death, but I want to be sure that you are doing a pretty good job in the punishment camp, and there are no major mistakes, and you have worked hard and cooperated with the work of our Huaxia Army in a comprehensive and timely manner, which I want to thank you." Zhang Qiang said to Lin Yangcheng with a smile.

Lin Chengcheng blushed a little, and said in a low voice and humbly: "It's all taught by the Metropolitan Governor, and the Metropolitan Governor is arranged, and the lower officials just follow the arrangement of the Metropolitan Governor, and they don't dare to take credit, if you want to say the credit, it must be the credit of the Metropolitan Governor." ”

"Haha, it seems that the director of the punishment camp you have served as the director of the camp has changed your personality over the years, the original kind of military general's arrogance has become the shyness and twist of a civil official, and you have also learned the kung fu of a civil official, it seems that the environment has changed your life." Zhang Qiang and Lin Cheng's words are a little too high, and Lin Cheng's recuperation must not be understood, he can only understand a general meaning, and there may be errors, even if the civil official is in front of him, he only knows that this is teasing himself, because these words, future generations will only understand when they hear them, because Zhang Qiang always involuntarily uses the tone of later generations to speak.

"Hehe, hehe," Lin cultivated the habit of becoming a military general again, stood up, scratched his head, and couldn't speak.

"Forget it, although there are still many things that have not been reported, I don't want to hear it, you can do it according to your method, I don't have to worry about you sitting in the punishment camp." Zhang Qiang waved his hand and let Lin Yangyang continue, he still has a lot of things to do.

Now the Huaxia army has gathered a lot of troops, the cavalry brigade has surrounded Linyi Mansion, although this encirclement is not very tight, but it also makes the Lu army want to send troops to Linyi Mansion several times, the supply is in vain, but it has lost a lot of troops, but there is no obstruction for those Lu troops who want to break out.

Zhang Qiang only wanted to take this line of defense, and then push the line of defense to the border area between Suzhou Prefecture and Shandong Prefecture, and as for the defense of the eastern side, the Huaxia Army troops in Anhui Prefecture were in charge.

Where there are more troops than here, and the defense of the enemy for more than two years, the Lu army has nothing to do with them, plus the two salients of Jining Mansion and Zaozhuang Mansion have been flattened, and the Huaxia Army's encirclement of the Lu army is actually surrounded on three sides.
