Busy!

Busy dizzy!

Now Tang Haoran even has a feeling that his busy feet are not off the ground, the reason is very simple, it is not easy to do it!

At the same time that the first cigarette money was collected from the tobacco houses, the 50 bureau members recruited by the customs still need to wait until the fifteenth day of the first month to go to Wuchang from all over the country, as for the 500 non-smoking officers originally scheduled to be recruited in Hubei Province, although they have been prepared, but the open recruitment still needs to wait until the first month, after all, everyone has to celebrate the New Year.

Now the anti-smoking bureau seems to be the same anti-smoking bureau on the surface, but in fact, it has become a factory, yes, it is a factory in the former civil engineering camp room, temporarily erected a grass hut, the grass shed a cauldron of boiling medicine and busy workers, here has become a large tobacco factory, the workers in the workshop are naturally from the tobacco factory to grab the smokers and helpers, and even together with the pharmaceutical cauldron, iron plate and other equipment, also from the tobacco factory.

Now the Anti-Smoking Bureau is relying on these smokers and helpers to create the first batch of cooked soil with the label of the Anti-Smoking Bureau, bringing nearly 500,000 taels of income to the Anti-Smoking Bureau, but it is a business.

Although after discussing with the tobacco houses for a few hours that day, Tang Haoran generously "returned" the original owner of the tobacco copied from the tobacco shop, but it was "loaned" by the original owner to the anti-smoking bureau after the discount, and gave a high interest rate of 8% per year, but this loan is not necessarily repaid, and the loan period is set at two years, but after two years, those people may have been put in prison, and the money naturally does not have to be repaid.

Although the tobacco bureau does not have to worry about the silver now, with the implementation of the package sale of tobacco houses in the three towns, Tang Haoran is getting busier and busier, and he no longer sees the supply of hundreds of tobacco houses in the past, and the management of cooked soil production, which is not the most important, but more important is the training of special police.

After solving the problem of funding, Tang Haoran naturally regarded the recruitment of "special police" as a top priority, and unlike the recruitment bureau members and non-smoking personnel who also need interviews and examinations, the recruitment of "special police" is simpler, and the recruitment flag is erected to have its own food people. According to the rules of recruiting special police, smokers are naturally eliminated, and those who can't lift two burdens are also eliminated, although the conditions are harsh, but under the temptation of 5 taels of generous salary, not only the homeless people in the three towns have applied for recruitment, but there are also many children of good families. However, in just a few days, the 800-strong "special police" had already recruited the first batch of 400 people.

When people are there, training naturally begins.

It's just that the training is not as simple as Tang Haoran imagined, although the training was sent by Zhang Biao of the Governor's Yamen pro-military camp to send ten personal soldiers, in fact, Zhang Zhidong was responsible for the junior officers trained in the Guangwu Army in the past, these people are worthy of being the elite of the Guangben Army, but it only took ten days of hard work, and the four hundred "special police" who were originally like sheep in the pasture stood there in a mess, and even the most basic queue was not good, and the drill also had a bit of appearance, at least they would line up.

But looking at the former school field in the courtyard of the Anti-Smoking Bureau, Tang Haoran, who was wearing an official uniform, always had a sense of astonishment.

“Squad–Fallin！”

At this moment, the officer of one of the teams gave an English password, which shocked Tang Haoran's heart again.

English!

That's right, it's English! These people even gave the command in English! This is called Xi Yang Gymnastics!

Although ten days have passed, Tang Haoran still can't accept the habit of the pro-soldier officers giving passwords in English, but he clearly remembers the first time he heard them explain the English password to the soldiers, Zhang Biao, who he heard in his confusion and puzzlement, also proudly explained to him that this is the rules of the Huai Army, the soldiers use foreign guns and foreign cannons, and the drill code is also in Western style, and this password is naturally in English, even if the Guangwu Army is trained by German instructors, the password is also in English, and the root of the Guangwu Army is also from the Huai Army after all.

“Bequick！”

In the urging of the team officer, Tang Haoran saw the team officer shouting "Bequick!" While beating the soldiers in black cotton jackets with sticks.

But looking at the big-headed soldiers who were still confused and unknown after hearing the password, they could only react by beating them with sticks by the team officers, Tang Haoran couldn't help but sigh.

"He, they're illiterate!"

Not to mention this group of people, even if they are high school students and college students in later generations, they may not be much stronger than them when they give military passwords in English, and it has been ten days, it seems that these people will line up and walk in line, but they still can't tell the password.

“Bequick！ Squad–Fallin！ ”

Listening to the captain with a wooden stick in his hand roaring as hard as he could, Tang Haoran finally couldn't stand it anymore, ten days, if it goes on like this, it is to let this group of illiterate people learn the most basic military commands, and they can't do it for three months.

"Wei Changli!"

Facing the chief trainer on the side, Tang Haoran shouted.

“sir！ Your Excellency! ”

It's English again, or English that is not produced in China or abroad, listening to the bursts of English passwords coming from the school ground, Tang Haoran even has a sense of collapse, TM This is the British Yankee's troops, isn't it!

"Don't speak English to me, let them all fucking assemble for me,"

Tang Haoran, who had a fire in his heart, yelled, he couldn't adapt to this kind of English password, and he had decided to completely overturn the so-called "foreign exercises in foreign languages" rule, although he had never been a soldier, he could go from high school to college, no matter how he received military training!

"Damn, I can't even stand up! Stand up straight, like me, chest up, belly tucked, head up, head to the right, ...... Line...... It's right, not left! What a ......"

Tang Haoran, who went into battle in person, held a stick in his hand, scolded while scolding, and at the same time was a little unpleasant, so he pumped it according to his legs, not to mention those "special police" who had just been recruited, and even the drill officers sent by the governor's yamen personal barracks. That gang of people turned out to be the same as the newly recruited special police, and they couldn't even play without English passwords.

"Stand upright! Take a break, stand upright, take a break, turn left, turn left......"

It took a full hour, looking at the "special policeman" in front of him who had just been able to stand in the square, Tang Haoran's heart was full of unprecedented sadness.

He finally knew that in the First Sino-Japanese War a few years later, the Qing army would be defeated again and again, and the Huai army, which was fully equipped with Western weapons, had only learned how to load and release guns and a few English words of instruction for them. This is the so-called "foreign exercise"!

From the Huai Army to Shanghai, the foreign gun team was subordinate to the Huai Army, and the Huai Army foreign gun team was used, using foreign guns and foreign cannons and a full set of Western-style drills, and even the password to turn right after a short break was in English. But what did you practice?

Is this what is called modernization?

The so-called modernization, is it the ability to shoot guns and speak a few words of English password? It's been decades, and even the most basic military passwords have not been localized, so the whole court is still talking about military training, which is really special......

"When I shouted left, everyone stepped forward with their left foot and stretched their right hand forward. When I shout right, I step on the right foot, raise the left hand, and so on! Do you understand! ”

Tang Haoran, whose voice was hoarse, shouted loudly.

"Left, right, left!"

Standing in front of the platoon, Tang Haoran walked in place with a slogan, he did not demonstrate according to "one, two, one", but used a simpler way, through the words of "left and right, left, left" to remind them how to walk in unison, after demonstrating five or six times, he looked at the officer in the front row and said.

"Look! Left, right, left, left, right, left! Just like that, give you a day, you must learn the Chinese password! If you can't learn it, fuck off! ”

As a Shangguan, Tang Haoran naturally didn't need to care about those Qiu Ba, although they were the personal soldiers brought by Zhang Zhidong from Guangdong, but he didn't care so much about the three-point temper, what kind of soldiers could he train if he trained like this.

All morning, Tang Haoran was there to teach them the simplest commands such as gathering, standing upright, taking a break, looking to the right, looking forward, turning right, and walking in unison.

"Left and right, left and right, left and right, left, left, ......"

Looking at the "special police" shouting Chinese-style passwords in the school field, until this time, when Tang Haoran, who was sitting on the wooden school platform, was holding a teacup to moisten his throat, he looked at the "special police" in the school field who were wrapped in black turbans and wearing black bloated and fat uniforms, shouting Chinese-style passwords, and couldn't help muttering.

"Foreign exercises, foreign exercises, can give passwords in English, so can't you imitate Western-style military uniforms? This military uniform is also so ugly......"
