Chapter 69: New Year's Moon
Letting the supervising officers talk about the ancients in the new barracks was Chen Wen's way of exercising the ability of the supervising officers and brainwashing the recruits. What is the specific effect of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info, Chen Wen has not seen it with his own eyes, but according to the training officers of the recruit training camp, the training enthusiasm of the recruits has been greatly improved, but I don't know if this is the sycophant that the training officers slapped to please him.
What should the prison officer do and what needs to be done, in fact, Chen Wen is not very clear. The tricks he had used in Dalanshan before, and now he taught to those prison officers, were also learned by him from TV dramas - finding soldiers to make a routine, using land and hatred to stimulate enthusiasm for training and fighting, telling the stories of Han heroes to boost morale, and enhancing the psychological superiority of soldiers over the Qing army, etc., are everywhere in real or fictional stories describing the rise of the republic, and even some of them will be involved in many anti-Japanese dramas.
He had used these tricks before, and they were quite effective for the old Nantang battalion at the beginning, and now that the prison officers have been set up, they can expand their influence through more people. Just as Premier Zhou said -- "We must win the faith of the officers and men and the people in the spirit of patient persuasion and inducement, and unite them to resolutely struggle under the leadership of revolutionism and the political program." Even though there are differences in details between the program and purpose of the Chinese Rejuvenation Association, there is still the same principle.
As for the rest, Chen Wen doesn't know much, he only remembers the famous sentence that Li Yunlong once said to Zhao Gang, "The regiment commander is in charge of the war, and the political commissar is in charge of life" It sounds like a bit of truth, but what is the specific limit of this life has not been measured through practice.
At the same time as the military training of the recruits, the civilian officer training class and the guard officer training class, which only rested on Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, were completed in the second half of the first month.
Most of them are still able to pass the level, which may also have a lot to do with the fact that Chen Wen urgently needs a large number of officials to control the occupied areas. However, to Chen Wen's expectations, in addition to Li Yu, Chen Chen and Lu Liuliang, the three transfer students who are a little perverted in intelligence, these three prefectures also have some trainees with very good results, and there is even a student from Huguang who has attracted Chen Wen's attention.
The student specially summoned by Chen Wen was Rong Qian, who had previously persevered in the siege of Quzhou, and his experience as a staff member of He Tengjiao in the yamen of the governor of Huguang in terms of money and food had greatly helped him, so that his assessment results in money and food were not overwhelmed even by those three monsters, after all, this experience was still there.
In addition, this person had read "Geometric Originals" when he was studying in Nanjing. However, there are only the first six volumes, because only the first six volumes of this work were translated by Xu Guangqi at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the last nine volumes were translated by Li Shanlan and an Englishman at the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is not difficult to translate, but it is only because the fruits of the rapid scientific and technological development in Europe began to be revealed before the eyes of some enlightened doctors that they opened their eyes to the world again from the darkness of the past two hundred years.
The Geometry was written in ancient Greece, but it was after the Renaissance that many great scholars, including Copernicus, Galileo, Descartes, Newton, and many other great scholars, studied and absorbed rich nourishment from it, which was of great benefit to their great cause.
As soon as Chen Wen heard about this work, he had the idea of continuing to translate it, but unfortunately Rong Qian only had him copy it from memory. It's a pity that the remaining nine volumes are not translated, so they can't be understood, and naturally they can't be recorded.
After all, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign bosses like employees with work experience, but Rong Qian didn't mention it at all, if it weren't for the official sent to Quzhou to recruit Confucian scholars who learned about this experience from his uncle's show-off, I'm afraid that no one would know about it until now.
From his explanation, Chen Wen can understand, after all, the Zhejiang Ming Army suffered an infighting initiated by the civilian officials of the supervising army last year, and there was a general hostility towards the civilian officials of the supervising army, and if it is calculated, Cao Conglong is not a heavyweight player compared with He Tengjiao in this aspect of internal strife, and even the officers in this Ming army who have some knowledge of this have to admit it.
Chen Wen understood that this did not want to arouse the hostility of his colleagues, but once he thought of this scholar who left angrily and chose to escape the world because he failed to be dissuaded several times, and finally chose to serve the Zhejiang Ming Army under the inspiration of his relief and tax exemption policies, he couldn't help but think of the previous Confucian Nanzong, Zhang Gongyan, the deputy envoy of Xuanzhao, and more people who chose to serve the Zhejiang Ming Army because of this. Perhaps benevolence and righteousness really have unimaginable power.
In fact, in Chen Wen's view, the common people naturally yearn for peace, and only in this way can they better live a better life with their relatives and friends through their own strength. Unfortunately, natural and man-made disasters have occurred, and the common people have reached the point where they can no longer live, and the government should naturally be exempt from taxes and relief, which is beyond doubt.
Benevolence made Chen Wen gain some unexpected joy, but it also left behind the image of a woman's benevolence. This is something that cannot be helped, after all, in the eyes of the people of this era, the warriors should ignore the well-being of the people, and their hands are covered with blood, and benevolence is a quality that only civil officials have.
It's a pity that now it seems that the vast majority of civil officials are not doing as well as him, a barbaric martial artist, whether it is the Ming and Qing dynasties, they are doing their best to exploit the people to meet the needs of Shangguan and themselves, resulting in more family ruins, but it is really ironic enough to think about it.
Thanks to the efforts of Chen Wen, Sun Yu and others, Jinhua Mansion, which has been restored for a year, has made great recovery in terms of people's livelihood, while Quzhou, which suffered a military disaster last year, has begun a rapid recovery under tax exemption and relief. However, the price of the rapid recovery of the people's livelihood was that the resources that the Ming army could get in the short term were much lower, and if it were not for the two unexpected incomes, the lack of resources brought about by the tax exemption was enough to make the Ming army's expansion plan stillborn.
But this kind of windfall is indeed encounterable but unsought, just like the pig teammates of the Qing army driving the Ming army, they are all full of accidents, and there is only a difference between which one has a greater chance.
For this reason, Chen Wen specially discussed with the captain sent by the Zheng family to escort the Xuanzhao envoy, and after this New Year, Zheng Qi, who escorted the Xuanzhao envoy back to Fujian first, also met Zheng Chenggong, who was forced to return to the Zhongzuo Institute.
