Chapter 1: Marching into Fang County
After the initial run-in, the military training of the nearly 400-strong regiment gradually moved on the right track. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the training methods of later generations, Liu Yuanshan added a lot of military training facilities to the legion, such as single parallel bars, broken walls, barbed wire, ropes, and set up various obstacles.
In addition to general military training, some physical development, wilderness survival and other training have also been added.
Train soldiers according to this routine, and you don't have to worry about not being able to train good soldiers.
Liu Yuanshan wants not only a good soldier, but also a loyal and good soldier.
In the past, when recruiting regimental soldiers, the target age group was between 16 and 20 years old, which was intended for this purpose. Because soldiers of this age have much less concern and involvement, it is easier to train loyalty.
Of course, when we are old, we must also popularize ideological education.
Liu Yuanshan took matters into his own hands and set up a department specifically responsible for following up the thoughts of the soldiers, called the Propaganda Department.
This propaganda department is completely different from the propaganda department of the later empire, Liu Yuanshan's propaganda department is mainly to deepen the idea of soldiers' loyalty and love for the regiment, and he himself has assumed the duties of the director of the propaganda department in addition to serving as the regiment commander.
After the establishment of the Propaganda Department, Liu Yuanshan's daily work became very heavy, in addition to the usual arrangements, he was also responsible for teaching those soldiers to read and write every night, and at the same time brainwashing them.
He can't be the only one in the Propaganda Department, but whether it is Zhang Mo or Second Uncle Mao, who came here temporarily, he is basically incompetent for his work. The work of the Propaganda Department is to say that it is propaganda and education, but to put it at the low end is to fool people.
People, where is it so easy to fool.
Fortunately, Liu Yuanshan had a complete set of political ideological theories to learn from, and he kept compiling an education series according to his actual situation, with the name of "The People's Corps"
The book depicts a world where everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, where all people are equal, where ordinary people do not have to kneel when they see officials, who are officials who think about the people everywhere, and there are no refugees in the world who do not have enough to eat, and so on! With this goal in mind, a number of stages and specific measures have been formulated to achieve the goal, as well as the tasks of the Corps and the spirit of dedication and sacrifice that each regiment must have.
There has been no fighting and no one has been injured. Similar to the depiction and exaggeration of heroes in later generations, Liu Yuanshan can't do it, but this day should not be far off.
After this book came out, the ideological education work of the entire regiment could be regarded as having the initial results, and Liu Yuanshan no longer had to educate those soldiers personally, but handed over these complicated affairs to Second Uncle Mao.
At this point, in addition to teaching military boxing, Second Uncle Mao has one more job.
At the same time, the Liu family was still frantically annexing the land around Liujia Village, sometimes even buying it with a lot of money far higher than the market price, so the land in Liu Yuanshan's hands was also increasing rapidly.
By midsummer, there were nearly 1,000 acres of fertile land.
In this way, those regimental soldiers also have things to do in their leisure time, and they will not blindly train, and the combination of training and production can produce the greatest benefits by self-sufficiency.
A lot of things are left to others to do, and Liu Yuanshan himself can't be so idle.
He thinks further.
Now after a series of resource integration, coupled with the fact that he has a group training of 400 people, he has become the largest force in Gushan Town overnight, although he may not have the most gold and silver in his family, but in Gushan Town, he is also invincible.
But this is not the final outcome that Liu Yuanshan wants.
If you want to save yourself in this troubled world and even open up the situation, with the four hundred soldiers in your hands, even if these four hundred people are all carrying flintlock pistols, it will be useless.
To compete in the world, we must first base ourselves on Jingxiang.
If you want to gain a foothold in Jingxiang, you naturally have to control Fang County; Now he only has three or four hundred people in his hands, and he has reached the limit of regimental training, and it is not difficult to take down the entire Fang County with these forces, but it is not easy to hold it.
For him, the top priority now is to integrate into the core of the entire Fang County, only by firmly grasping everything in Fang County, can we take precautions to build the entire Fang County into an iron plate before everyone starts, relying on the geographical advantages of Fang County, build a lock county, create the first base and base camp, and make the first batch of industries, in order to be invincible forever.
And if you want to integrate into the center of Fang County, the best way now is to establish contact with those in power, and the first step is to enter Fang County; The second step is to gain their trust; The third step is to turn the people in power in Fang County into their own people, and then turn those in power who can't become their own people into dead people.
In this way, big things can happen!
Time is not waiting, arrange all the chores at home, Liu Yuanshan took Liu Da and five other strong regimental soldiers to serve with him, and secretly brought two flintlock pistols, got up and went to the county seat of Fangxian County.
Starting from Liujiazhuang, ten miles to the south is the mountain town, from the post station in the west of the mountain town can take a boat, down the river twenty or thirty miles away, is the county seat of Fang County.
This is the second time Liu Yuanshan has been to Fang County after crossing over.
The city walls of the county town are low, surrounded by moats, of which the south and west moats are located on the Malan River, and the east and north are artificial rivers that dig ditches to divert water.
The moat is not very wide, only about five or six zhang in appearance, the city is almost 500 meters wide, most of the buildings in it are county yamen, the rest of the residence part is the official's mansion, and the other part is basically the county's head and face family house.
Ordinary people and wealthy families actually live outside the city.
The county seat of Fangxian County is quite lively, Liu Yuanshan has roughly walked around, and the permanent population in the county town should be 5,000 even if there are not 8,000, and people are constantly shuttling back and forth on the streets. Especially in the inner city, the shops on both sides of the street are almost like a forest, one next to the other, selling everything.
From time to time, you can see small vendors waving and shouting on the streets.
Liu Yuanshan noticed that unlike last winter, there were many more homeless poor people on the streets, all dirty, some huddled in the corners, and some ran to the stalls of small traders and vendors, begging and begging.
A dirty little girl, wearing clothes that could no longer be seen in the original color, walked up to Liu Yuanshan with a cower, stretched out her thin and dirty little hand, and said, "Uncle, give me something to eat." ”
The tone was so weak that it was almost inaudible, but it did hurt in Liu Yuanshan's ears.
Shaanxi accent!
Those refugees who fled thousands of miles away because of famine gathered in Yunxian and Gucheng before, causing endless banditry in the local area, and even the tragedy of the county commander being killed. Now, they have finally touched the only virgin land of Jingxiang! (To be continued.) )
