Chapter Eighty-Nine: Military and Civilian Construction

The ship that has been following him was transferred away, and Lin Haijiang, who always felt empty in his heart, quickly shifted his target, as the commander of the Guangdong Navy, he naturally couldn't do nothing, the first thing Lin Haijiang promoted Gao Qi, Zhang Zheng, Liu Quansi, Xu Dawei, Wang Faren and others to the officials, all of them were guarded by the five grades, Lin Haijiang gave the original Guangzhou Navy General a month to find a good place to leave, otherwise don't blame him for being unceremonious.

Lin Haijiang's large-scale exclusion of dissidents also got the secret permission of Ye Mingchen and others, and no one in the military department and the court meeting in Yanjing asked too much about it, and the ship was transferred away by the emperor, and the new commander of the Guangdong Navy Division was left to play with the whole person.

Lin Haijiang built three old-fashioned single-masted cruisers from the old port, and at the same time engaged in sea training while recruiting new recruits on a large scale, he set an example for each training, and the generals at all levels subsequently failed to complete the training subjects or were evaluated below the good level of the ten military sticks, and the generals at all levels lived and ate with the soldiers, and the school roll call was paid publicly, and the whole battalion read it every night with the number of silver taels for three meals.

Except for the so-called imperial military system, which cannot be arbitrarily changed, all the rest were carried out in accordance with the regulations on the training of the Marine Corps in the old port, and many of Lin Haijiang's personal ideas of deliberately tossing people were added.

Lin Haijiang deactivated all the original ships of the Guangzhou Naval Division, and the Fifth Route Fleet, the local fort guards, anti-private people, artillery battalions, water ghost battalions, bird gun battalions, short knife squadrons, and so on were all gathered together and selected and eliminated in batches.

Lin Haijiang's hand made the original sailors and officials find their own way out, what kind of soldiers can they be if they don't drink the blood of soldiers? And every day to the death training, half a month of training on the three thousand, seven and more than 30 soldiers, the entire Daoguang period of Guangdong Navy Jinghai bandits have not died so many people?

Lin Haijiang's actual combat training method has opened the eyes of almost everyone, but it is very strange that almost all of the rules impeached him came from the imperial history, but the two Guangxi sides were quiet and quiet, lacking local cooperation.

However, since Admiral Lin's large-scale military training, the security in Guangzhou City, especially the Thirteen Lines Wharf and other places, has improved a lot, and there is no military master to eat and drink in vain, and the bosses of the casinos and Qinglou in Guangzhou are still very puzzled, how can these big soldiers make more money but not come?

They knew that the first eight rules of Admiral Lin Haijiang's new battalion included that they should not go to the kiln and enter the casino, and the violators were punished for three days for the first time, and the third time was directly beheaded for the same time as a battlefield rout, Lin Haijiang did not drink the blood of the soldiers, paid out of his own pocket to subsidize food, and ate, trained, and walked with ordinary soldiers! The implementation of military discipline is more like a heart like iron stone!

When the relatives of the squire of the military department of the court, Jianwei with Feng Gang, and Li Xiaodong, the with the Jiangong pipe, stayed in the Qinglou at night during their duty, and when they came back in the morning, they were directly cut down by Lin Haijiang's Goshha on the side of the barracks gate, and they didn't even have a chance to argue.

What kind of lord is the new Admiral Lin Haijiang, no one dares to talk about it secretly in that corner of the camp, and he doesn't even dare to mention the three words Admiral Lin, and the officers and soldiers in the camp are like gods.

Every so-called weekend, Lin Haijiang will pull the team out to clean the streets, which is called 'military and civilian mutual assistance'! Lin Haijiang knows very well that a good environment can effectively reduce the spread and spread of diseases, and the relationship between the military and the people is not corrupted in a day, so it is not like an enemy to repair it, so it is not possible to achieve results in a short period of time.

If a soldier does not have the pride to fight for some reason, then he cannot be called a soldier, and the pride of a soldier comes from ordinary people.

When facing the largest ditch in Guangzhou that has been blocked for many years to form a muddy pond, the stinking four words can no longer be described, the light people as long as they get slightly close to the dizziness, heavy vomiting does not stop, flies, mosquitoes fly wantonly, nearby residents, traders cry unspeakably, but there is no way, because this mud pond has been beyond the reach of manpower, is caused by the heavy rain in the first year of Daoguang pouring into the city of Guangzhou.

Merchants in the city once raised funds to try to clean up, but the project was huge, and it was categorically difficult to complete without a million taels of silver, and then it was shelved.

Lin Haijiang, who had been patrolling so far, didn't say a word, took off his official uniform, took a shovel and jumped down without frowning.

Lin Haijiang, who was splashed with dirt, turned around and shouted to the soldiers above: "Drop the mud basket!" ”

The mud pond was located just south of the Blue and White Building, and Wanxin and her group of little sisters stood on the platform to see how Lord Lin drove his soldiers to accomplish this impossible task.

As a result, what surprised everyone was that Lin Haijiang was the first to jump by himself? Ye Mingchen, who was sitting on the third floor of Dinghong Building not far away and drinking tea, stood up, rubbed his eyes, and shouted loudly Zhang Yunji came over to see clearly for himself, so the first person to jump down was Lord Lin, the commander of the water division?

Zhang Yunji looked at Lin Haijiang's swaying eyes behind his official hat and nodded: "I'm afraid that the entire Liangguang will do such a reckless thing with dazzling eyes, I'm afraid it really has to be Lord Lin." ”

Ye Mingchen was slightly displeased and said: "Lord Lin, this is the true love for the people, the old man will go together!" ”

Yes? Zhang Yunji was slightly stunned and said: "Your Excellency Governor, that muddy pond Zhang Yunji is full of feces, dead livestock and other filth, how can you try it yourself?" ”

Ye Mingchen looked at Zhang Yunji, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Is it okay for this official to stand on the shore and cheer for Lord Lin?" ”

With Lin Haijiang's leading demonstration, the officials with red tops on their heads all jumped down with all kinds of expressions, and then nearly 10,000 soldiers rushed down, and immediately dug ditches, fished out silt, and transported mud like an assembly line.

As soon as there are more people, it doesn't seem to feel so stinky anymore, there are so many officials, and the soldiers don't care about anything, especially the Admiral Lin is also fighting with a pickaxe.

Wanxin hesitated for a moment and turned around and said: "Sisters, although we are selling laughter, we can't be despised by people, let's go, follow me to send tea and snacks to the military masters, it is more or less a little heart." ”

As the girls of Qinghualou were not afraid of dirty, and personally handed bowls of tea to the soldiers, these Qiu Ba, who were proud of bullying the common people, knew for the first time what it was like to be respected from the bottom of their hearts, and the feeling of this taste was no less than smoking opium.

Almost all the people moved, the governor of the governor's palace was also dispatched, the governor's patrol camp, the officials were keeping the mud route open, and the people volunteered to help.

For the fruits, eggs, and meat buns sent by the people, Lin Haijiang instructed that they must be priced, otherwise they resolutely refused to accept it, but the only thing that did not pay was Wanxin's tea, because Lin Haijiang said that it was a heart, not something that could be measured by money, this sentence said that Wanxin's heart was hot, if it weren't for the large number of people, she almost threw herself directly into Lin Haijiang's arms.

For Lin Haijiang, his move is obviously to change the impression of the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division in Guangzhou City, but in fact, it is to subtly dilute the imperial power in the hearts of the officers and soldiers, and deepen their own sense of military honor.

After nearly a month of repeated cleaning and dredging, the mud pond finally disappeared from people's eyes, during this period the Guangdong water division, the superintendent of the standard battalion, the patrol battalion, the government envoy dispatched as many as 400,000 people, the people and the righteous people went to work countless, and the cart alone used as many as 5,000 hangs.

It can be said that people in this era lack a certain sense of national defense, including Ye Mingchen, their national defense awareness is limited to the so-called barracks, city or fort, and the more important roads are not cared for.

Lin Haijiang took the opportunity of the joint construction of the military and the people to renovate several important roads, which not only made it convenient for the merchants and people, but also prepared for the not far past 1857.

Combined with construction and training, the appearance of the officers and men of the Guangzhou Navy Division is still a new look, and the things that used to bully the small people in the city have been completely eliminated, according to the words of some veterans, it was the salary that was deducted in the past, and there was no way, and now the salary and silver are sufficient, who is willing to pull down the shame for a few big people? Besides, Lin Du is the master who does not rub sand in his eyes.

However, Lin Haijiang also had something depressed, and what made him very embarrassed was that the entire Guangdong Navy Division did not have a decent warship?

In desperation, Lin Haijiang had to borrow three dhows from the old port to train his troops, which were leased to the outside world.

On the one hand, Lin Haijiang stepped up his training, while eating, living, and training with the officers and soldiers, but on the other hand, he paid great attention to protecting the actual rights and interests of the soldiers.

Moreover, Lin Haijiang instilled an awareness in these soldiers through officers at all levels, that is, what you get is given by Lord Lin, and if Lord Lin leaves, your life will return to the same as before, even if you don't have a good life.

Who wants to be a dog if you have been a person, straighten your back, and live a dignified life? Lin Haijiang's set is actually the old line of forming forces after the initial warlord secession, and when you feed the soldiers, someone will give your life to fight for you, what do you talk about patriotism with most of these soldiers who can't even write their own names? What is the national righteousness? Those can only be taught in a subtle way, and Lin Haijiang can't risk the world's condemnation to openly engage in his brainwashing propaganda.

Lin Haijiang doesn't make such a fool now, it is enough to play the piano to Niu once or twice, and it seems that the benefits are more popular among the majority of officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers of the Guangdong Navy Division still only had Admiral Lin in their eyes, and the emperor was deliberately set aside, and no one cared about him.
