Chapter 0259: Start to show your sword
Early in the morning, Xu Mingtao was still in a dream when he was awakened by bursts of shouts from outside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When there were no military tasks, the military discipline of the Bukui original garrison was relatively lax.
The quality of the officers and soldiers here is uneven, and the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. In the past, when it was under the jurisdiction of General Ningguta, because it was remote and relatively poor, few people came to the General's Mansion.
Even if he came, he took a quick look at it, and left after finishing his business.
There is no one to supervise and inspect, and the environment here is difficult, and there is no future and hope in sight, so the officers have to get by and go with the flow.
In fact, this is true not only of officers, but also of soldiers. Some of them joined the army just to change their status, while others just wanted to find a meal ticket to eat.
There is usually no decent training, and the equipment is only cold weapons such as bows, arrows, knives and guns.
In many cases, bandits and local fishing and hunting tribes are unable to defeat people. When encountering the Cossack cavalry of the Rus' Empire, it was even less of an opponent. That is, to bully unarmed criminals and ordinary people, and there is still some ability.
Therefore, although the officers and men of the Bukui Garrison Office often flaunt their military might, they all look down on and even hate them in the eyes of the local people and the exiles.
Xu Mingtao got up in a daze, stood at the door, and saw the morning exercise of the Fu Corps in the courtyard.
The earth-shattering slogans, the unstoppable pace, and the neat queue all shocked him.
Although he had never seen such a team before, the feeling in his heart told him that this was definitely a well-trained army.
I don't know when, on the wall of the dormitory of the prefectural corps, banners were hung one after another. Above are some slogans.
Although Xu Mingtao didn't recognize many words, he still recognized most of those slogans.
"Sweat more in peacetime, shed less blood in wartime", "The team is prosperous and I am honored, and the team is disgraced", "People practice in hardship, and the knife is sharpened on the stone", "I would rather die one step forward than take half a step back", "When a soldier is not afraid of death, I am afraid of death and I am not a soldier", "Lose skin, lose flesh, do not fall behind, shed blood, sweat, and tears", "The sentry post is the battlefield, and duty is the battle" .......
Where did all this stuff come from?
Xu Mingtao walked up to the sentry, and sure enough, he saw two sentries standing straight.
Sentinels have been set up in the barracks since last night, and this is the first time in so many years.
Seeing the two sentries standing straight and motionless, Xu Mingtao wondered if it was pretending, standing for a while, seeing that there was no one, the sentries would relax.
So, he sent someone to observe secretly. The results disappointed him.
For an hour on each shift, when they did not move, except for checking pedestrians, they seemed to be like wooden men, even if there was no one around, they always stood like that.
The team retracted, and after a while, the gong sounded to open the meal. Xu Mingtao stood at the door again, wanting to see if the people of the Fu Corps were still lining up to eat like last night.
The result was still the same as yesterday, but it made him feel a little awkward. That's his own soldier.
Compared with the people of the government corps, their own soldiers, three by two, are loose and saggy, they are not out of shape, they don't stand in the same position, and compared with others, they are like a flower who wants to eat.
That's what people call soldiers.
Not long after eating, the government corps went out one after another.
With the company as a unit, the soldiers rode on their horses, and the sabers on their waists were bright and shining, shining with a dazzling cold light in the sunlight.
The neat convoy of horses, marching in broken steps, even on the street, is neatly on the right. After a short time out of the streets of Bukui, they scattered everywhere and gradually disappeared from people's sight.
The residents and pedestrians in the streets, looking at this group of very different cavalry, kept talking.
Not long after, a convoy came out of the barracks, also in line.
Just when people wondered what they were going to do, the soldiers who drove the wagons began to load the garbage that had been accumulated on the street for a long time. Then, they were pulled out of town, dug a pit and buried them, and then came back to load a second trip.
At first, people watched from afar, even if they were carrying their own garbage, they didn't come forward.
On the second trip, people began to talk to the GIs. As he spoke, he found out that there were still his fellow villagers among the soldiers, so they became more affectionate.
Why are you embarrassed to always ask the soldiers to clean up the garbage in your own house? As a result, the masters also started to move, and a scene was formed in which the soldiers and civilians worked together and exchanged with each other.
This team cleaning up garbage is Wei Ruoshui's direct detachment. Their task is to establish a good relationship with the local residents through this way of interacting with the local population, and thus to establish the image of the provincial corps.
Wei Ruolan and Jia Qin are also in this team, and their task is to gather as much intelligence as possible from the mouths of the locals, find suitable personnel, and develop into their own informants. The intelligence system of the prefectural corps was gradually established.
After Wei Ruolan arrived in Bukui, in addition to arranging to welcome the Fu Corps, she also received some intelligence materials and several informants from the garrison yamen.
These materials are useful and useful. It's useless to say, it's useless.
It is useful to say that it is possible to understand the general situation and customs of Bukui.
It is said that it is useless because these materials are no different from those materials in the yamen that do not need to be kept secret. All of them are information that can be obtained by public means.
From the point of view of military intelligence, it is not of much value. Those informants, he had also been in contact with, were not the ones who could obtain much valuable information.
Of course, there is still valuable intelligence. The yamen of the garrison office has been set up here for more than 100 years, can you accumulate some family funds?
It's just that these core things may not be handed over to them by Zhao Dahai.
In fact, whether it is in terms of intelligence materials or intelligence collection system, the most core things have not been handed over to them by Zhao Dahai yet.
As for the cavalry of the Prefecture Corps, which was sent around, they took on a different mission.
The first is to wander around, so as to familiarize yourself with the local environment, including the geographical environment, cultural environment, road traffic in various places, rivers and mountains, villages, official villages, checkpoint distribution, etc.
If you don't understand these situations, what will happen in the future, as soon as you go out, your eyes will be black, what will you talk about fighting?
The second purpose is to show military might and show off force.
Announce to the people here that the government corps has come, and from now on, it will be the government corps that will be in charge of Bukui.
The third purpose is combat readiness patrols.
This is both training and actual combat, and in the future, this kind of patrol will become one of the daily duties, deterring the bad guys and pacifying the good guys.
No matter how good a sword is, hidden in a box, it is only a collector's item. Only when it is out of the box is a sharp weapon. When it's time to show the sword, you have to show the sword.
Feng Ziying stayed in the Dusi Yamen and carried out various handovers with Zhao Dahai on behalf of Jia Min. After the handover, it means that the government corps will officially take over Bukui's defense, and from today on, Jia Min will become the highest military and political governor of Bukui.
Of course, while taking over power, it also means that he has taken over responsibilities and obligations. Bu Kui's future safety will depend on him.
handed over the handover to Feng Ziying, and Jia Min came out with someone.
His team is a mixture of soldiers and civilians.
Bing is his personal soldier and a company of Qin Zhong.
The people are Miaoyu, Ping'er, Qingwen and other female dependents.
As soon as I arrived in Bukui, I came out to familiarize myself with the environment, and second, I took them out to relax.
Out of the city of Bukui, we are on the outskirts.
Although it was the end of spring, the weather in the morning was still a little cool. However, the sun shines on the body, which still gives people a warm feeling.
On both sides of the road, in addition to some cultivated land nearby, a little farther away is the boundless grassland.
The soil here is very fertile and is thick black soil. The boundless wasteland, as long as it is reclaimed, is a good fertile land.
These grasslands are ownerless, oh. To be precise, they are not ownerless, they are all emperors.
The grassland has been covered with green grass, and from a distance, it is an endless green field. From time to time, there will be patches of white, red, and yellow flowers, dotted in the middle of the greenery, which is refreshing and pleasant at a glance.
Following a fork in the road, they entered the grassland, the carriage stopped, Miaoyu and Ping'er and others got off the car and went to pick wild flowers.
The blue sky and white clouds, flowers and green grass, plus a group of beautiful women of warblers and swallows, constitute a beautiful picture.
Seeing Miaoyu and the others cheering there, Jia Min had a deep sense of relief.
After letting them play for more than an hour, a group of female dependents returned to the car with flowers in their arms.
A pair of soldiers walked over here, walked in, and found that it was the team of Xu Mingtao, the leader of the third battalion, and Shi Liu, the commander of the first company of the third battalion of the government corps.
"Sir Min, is it so coincidental?"
Xu Mingtao took the lead in dismounting and saluted Jia Min.
"Where are you going?"
"Go to the four families in front, send these prisoners over, and leave a few soldiers from the government corps."
Sijiazi is a village. Because there were four families there in the beginning, hence the name.
In the vicinity of the four families, there are three official villages of the Yamen. Each village had a garrison, each with nine prisoners to farm there.
Today I sent a few prisoners who were brought in yesterday there.
Shi Liu's company followed, first, to patrol and familiarize himself with the environment, and second, to send the three soldiers of his company to several official villages.
According to Jia Min's request, the government corps will send some soldiers to Guanzhuang to familiarize themselves with and learn the management of Guanzhuang with the original old soldiers.
First, when new farms are opened in the future, these people can directly become the head of the farm, and second, when the old farm head is incompetent or there is a vacancy for other reasons, these people can be used to fill it.
Guanzhuang is the basic production unit and the basic supervision unit of prisoners under the Yamen of the Metropolitan Division, and if the work of the Guanzhuang is done well, the work of the entire Metropolitan Yamen will be almost half completed.
Therefore, Jia Min attaches great importance to this, and the first thing he fully promotes is the matter of the government soldiers entering Guanzhuang.
Yesterday's veteran disturbance incident made Jia Min very disappointed with the original soldiers of the garrison yamen.
From this one thing alone, you can see the quality of these veterans.
With no culture, lax military discipline, a sloppy work style, and a lack of training, it is undoubtedly unrealistic to expect these people to be able to carry out their plans well in the future.
Therefore, they must be prepared to use the soldiers they brought to take over their errands.
Those veterans, Jia Min is ready to transfer them all back at the right time to conduct intensive training, study and rectification, and completely transform them.
Jia Min inadvertently glanced at the few prisoners who were escorted, and suddenly smiled.
He found an acquaintance, the glove man.
