Chapter 240: Capture Army Uniforms
Feng Yunshan saw Tan Shaoguang and Cui Datong next to Zuo Zongtang again, and saw that neither of them spoke, so he said: "Brother Shaoguang and Brother Cui, why are you just standing and not talking?" It just so happens that this king has a task to explain to the two of you. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Holy King, please command!" Tan Shaoguang and Cui Datong hurriedly responded in unison.
"This king has heard that Shaoguang, you have an opinion on this king's arrangement for you in the general staff. What, don't want to stay in the General Staff? Feng Yunshan remembered the rumors he had heard recently, so he asked.
"Holy King Mingjian! Shaoguang has always been on the battlefield with his brothers, and he feels uncomfortable when he leaves those brothers. But the task assigned by the Holy King, Shaoguang must be completed no matter what. It's just a plead, when the training office of the General Staff is on the right track, it is better to transfer Shaoguang to the front line and fight the demons with the brothers! "Tan Shaoguang has a straightforward personality and is outspoken.
Cui Datong next to him also had a gleam in his eyes, paying attention to Feng Yunshan's answer. Also, he is the deputy director of the training department, if Tan Shaoguang leaves the training department, he is very likely to be promoted to the director, although I don't know the specific level of this director, but it is also promoted.
Seeing the appearance of the two, Feng Yunshan smiled: "There is an opportunity now!" ”
"As I said just now, the newly established Ninth Division needs training, so this king wants to personally lead this Ninth Division to practice. Shaoguang, Brother Cui, as the head of the training department of the General Staff, you are also involved in the training of recruits. ”
"Naturally, this king can't stay in the army all the time, only take the first few days, and then hand it over to the two of you for two months. Two months later, this king will come to review again, if you bring out this Ninth Division, I will hand over this team to you, if not, you will continue to stay in the training office and give me good training. Feng Yunshan said.
"Great! Holy King, Shaoguang will definitely give you a good example. Feng Shaoguang happily hurriedly expressed his position.
"Okay, you and Brother Cui will go to Wu Chongyao's place, the batch of foreign cloth purchased by Nanyang Company last time, let him quickly organize a group of people to make military uniforms for the captive army, no more for now, as long as 2,000 sets are become, you go and get them out when the time comes." Let's just say what this king said. ”
Tan Shaoguang and Cui Datong hurriedly responded.
Not long after, Wu Chongyao came to report to Feng Yunshan, saying that the Nanyang Company had purchased all the foreign fabrics in place, and the fabrics were ready, and the tailors and women who knew how to cut should be allowed to produce immediately, but there were not many tailors in the city tower with 2,000 sets of military uniforms, and it was estimated that it would take several days to complete, and before that, the requirements and styles of the specific military uniforms were also requested to be decided by the Holy King.
"Chongyao, I know you've had a lot going on lately. However, the matter of this military uniform must be grasped by this king. Many women in the city are mobilized to make military uniforms, as long as the production is completed, let a special person be responsible for the acceptance of the become, in addition, the Nanyang Company is not about to set up a weaving factory, you can continue to set up a clothing company. Feng Yunshan said.
"Okay creature, I'll hurry up and set up a clothing company to make the uniforms of the captive army as soon as possible." Wu Chongyao agreed.
"As for the style of military uniforms? Just like this...... "Feng Yunshan didn't understand anything about clothing, so he directly applied the military uniform of the People's Army of later generations."
"First of all, the military hat. The military hat is the face of the captive army, and foreign cloth is not allowed, and all of them are made of thick homespun cloth! There are two kinds of winter and summer, but the climate of Liangguang is hot, so for the time being, only summer-style will be made. ”
"The style of the military hat is a straight dome circumference: a straight cap wall, a flat dome crown, with a curved brim and a cap circumference. The front wall of the hat is sloped, and the back end is the top of the hat. The ends of the cap are held together by two lower buttons. In the middle of the wall of the hat directly above the circumference, there must be a towering mountain-style cockade, which can be embroidered by the women for the time being. ”
Feng Yunshan directly told the liberation hat of the later generations. However, he was very thick-skinned, put the cockade in a prominent position, and directly used a towering mountain peak pattern on the cockade, implying his name "Yunshan".
Wu Chongyao was also extremely smart, and immediately understood the meaning, and suggested: "Holy King, the meaning of the towering mountain is not very clear, whether the word 'Holy King' is engraved on the peak." ”
Feng Yunshan's face changed, this was not beautiful, he shook his head and said, "No!" However, Chongyao, you reminded me that the cockade is made into a circle, a small red five-star is placed on the top of the peak that enters the clouds, and the word 'begging army' is embroidered on the bottom of the peak. ”
Wu Chongyao nodded and continued to wait for Feng Yunshan to say the other part.
"What color is the cloth?" Feng Yunshan asked.
"It's all gray, yellow, and red. Holy King, what color should you use in your military uniform? If it doesn't work, I'll have someone re-dye, and it's going to be fast. Wu Chongyao said respectfully.
"Don't bother, since it's mainly gray, let's use gray. In this way, all soldiers wear gray uniforms, and all officers above the rank of second lieutenant wear yellow uniforms. Feng Yunshan thought about it, and then settled down like this.
"Military uniforms, officers at all levels of the same standard, soldier uniforms and officer uniforms are exactly the same, only the color is different."
Then, Feng Yunshan explained in detail the style of the military uniforms of the captive army. In fact, it is a comprehensive version of the tunic and the People's Army uniform he saw in later generations.
While listening to Feng Yunshan, Wu Chongyao took a brush and drew it on the rice paper next to him.
The jacket is a placket lapel, with 5 buttons in the middle of the placket, and 4 open pockets on the placket, all with pocket covers; The bottom of the upper two pockets is round, and the bottom of the lower two pockets is square; There is a button in the center of the bag, the top two pockets are flush with the second button, and the bottom two pockets are level with the fifth button. The left arm is covered with a towering mountain peak-style "Capture Army" armband.
The military pants are a combination of Zhongshan pants and suit pants, with a side pocket on each side of the waistband and a watch pocket next to the right side pocket.
After Feng Yunshan finished speaking, Wu Chongyao also finished painting. Wu Chongyao is worthy of being a well-known person, and he actually painted eight or nine without leaving ten, Feng Yunshan saw that it was exactly the style of the People's Army's uniform in his impression.
"Yes, Chongyao, this is it, this is it!" Feng Yunshan said excitedly.
"The summer clothes of the soldiers, add one or two layers of cloth to the elbows, shoulders, hips, and knees to improve the wear resistance of the military uniforms, well, remember to be on the inside, and ugly on the outside!" After Feng Yunshan finished speaking, Wu Chongyao hurriedly picked up the brush next to him and wrote it down on the paper.
There are two kinds of military shoes for the captive army, one is cloth shoes and the other is military boots. Cloth shoes are made of black thickened homespun cloth, and the bottom is sewn with 20 layers of base fabric; The military boots directly adopted the shape of the military boots in the style of captured British soldiers, which were actually a kind of cloth shoes, but they were thickened and heightened.
The military uniforms are all made of foreign cloth, mainly because they are cheap. These foreign cloths woven by steam looms are all relatively fine cotton cloths, which do not look thick, but they are actually very tight and delicate, and quite strong and durable.
After talking about the military uniform, Wu Chongyao was just about to leave, but Feng Yunshan stopped him.
Feng Yunshan thought that he was already half-hanging, but he had a military training in college, and he probably knew it, but his actions were not standard enough. He recalled it carefully, and then said it with his own mouth, plus his own demonstration and comparison, and asked Wu Chongyao to draw his actions next to him.
Nearly two hours later, one picture after another came out.
Although Feng Yunshan's own movements are not standard, in Wu Chongyao's paintings, he stands straight, raises his legs, and swings his arms, all of which can be called pacesetters in later generations.
After letting Wu Chongyao, who was busy preparing military uniforms, leave, Feng Yunshan thought about it again, and he suddenly realized that he couldn't train tens of thousands of soldiers alone. It is necessary to first bring a group of officers and non-commissioned officers for training, and then rely on the leadership of officers and non-commissioned officers to train the entire A-9 Division, and even extend it to the rest of the troops.
Therefore, Feng Yunshan drew 200 of his 500 personal guards and more than 400 from the 8th Division to serve as grassroots officers of the newly formed 9th Division. Then, in order to prevent all the officers of the Ninth Division from being outsiders, he summoned tens of thousands of officers and men of the Ninth Division, and asked them to nominate the best of them to become officers at the rank of captain.
A total of 1,200 people became the objects of Feng Yunshan's training.
Since although the personnel of the Ninth Division were all there, many officers were vacant, and Feng Yunshan had no choice but to ask Lu Shunde to arrange these more than 1,200 people to serve as squad leaders, platoon commanders, and battalion commanders according to their rich combat experience.
In this way, the grassroots structure of the 9th Division was built.
Then, Feng Yunshan announced in front of more than 1,200 people: "Next, this king will personally conduct military training for you people for two months. After the training, the king personally inspected, held a military training competition, whoever can practice well, will be promoted to the current rank, if the drill is poor, will be demoted by one level. If anyone is lazy and slippery, he will be discovered by the inspectors sent by the king, and he will be driven out of the army. ”
Everyone looked different, some were in a state of mind, and some were full of excitement.
The hearts are full of people, but those people who are drawn from the Heaven and Earth Congregation and the Eighth Division A are all elites among the soldiers and soldiers, and they want to have a good face. Although I don't know what this training is, I think that so many people, most of whom know each other, if they don't practice well, they will be demoted or driven out of the captive army, then they will lose face and will not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives.
And the face full of excitement was the Saint King's personal guards, although they were loyal supporters of the Saint King, but they had been staying by Feng Yunshan's side, and they were very envious when they saw other brothers fighting and making meritorious contributions. Now that the Holy King has transferred them to the Ninth Division as officers, this in itself is a great care. If they train well, they can be promoted to another level, so they all have to practice hard, and they must not lose face to the Holy King. (To be continued.) )
