After listening to Cheng Nuo's introduction, Zaitao couldn't help but gasp, only to feel that the temperature in the room had dropped a lot in an instant.

"The dean wants to form a new army? In the current years, this is not a wise move, and it is still in the center of power in Sijiu City, the slightest disturbance will attract the attention of the public, and if you are not careful, you may be killed, but you have to think twice. ”

"It is said that the most authentic twist in Tianjin is from Eighteen Street, Mr. Zai can taste it first." Cheng Nuo handed over a piece of twist flower and said with a smile: "As for what Mr. is worried about, in my opinion, it is not a problem at all, what we want to form is a school worker, not a new army." ”

Li Laosan also said on the side: "Yes, our husband has said many times outside, just to find a group of people to form a school worker of our academy, to protect the safety of these gentlemen, not like becoming those military ruffians." ”

After receiving the twist flowers handed over, Zaitao hesitated again and again and was still puzzled: "Then why follow the model of the army, find three or five strong people, it's not a problem to deal with some ordinary thieves, why bother to find these young people with poor bones, and you have to make up for them." ”

Cheng Nuo had a mysterious smile on his face: "In these years, the identities of bandit soldiers can be exchanged at any time, coupled with the treacherous situation, maybe one day these soldiers who have been transformed into bandits will break in, and then these literati in the Academy of Sciences will teach them how to defend themselves, and the bullets are not long-sighted." ”

Zaitao suddenly stopped: "This ...... This doesn't seem impossible, yesterday there was a pigtail army, today maybe there will be a red-clothed army, tomorrow there is nothing else to say, since ancient times the wealth is moving, regardless of love and hatred and past. ”

Cheng Nuo took a snack for himself, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly: "The ancients should take precautions before the rain, and dig wells without thirst." At present, in order to hide people's eyes, the establishment of our school work team is 100 people, and in the future, when we go to the local area or open a new branch, this scale will continue to expand, until the safety of our hospital does not have to worry about it at all. ”

At this time, Zaitao was nervous and excited, his palms kept sweating out, and he put aside the twist he was holding for the time being, secretly considering the possibility of the school team.

At that time, as the Minister of the Praetorian Guard, under the coercion and temptation of Yuan Datou, he had to hand over the command of the Praetorian Guard, which made the Empress Dowager Longyu very angry, thinking that he had lost the face of the Manchu royal family.

Later, in the face of Yuan Shikai's forced palace, the Empress Dowager Longyu asked Zaitao at the imperial meeting: "You are in charge of the army, you know how our soldiers are." ”

The Empress Dowager Longyu asked him how the soldiers were, just to know from him that if he chose to fight, what was the chance of victory. But what made everyone feel disappointed was that Zaitao knelt on the ground and said a word without confidence: "The slave has trained as a soldier, but he has never fought, I don't know." ”

Because of this sentence, the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were completely deflated and had to issue an abdication edict in the name of Emperor Xuantong, officially announcing the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

So far, this incident has become a hurdle that Zaitao will never be able to get over in his heart.

So after facing Cheng Nuo's invitation, Zaitao's excitement was far greater than the fear of the unknown.

"Dean Cheng, I mean that if one day our school work team suddenly changes its identity and begins to become a real soldier, whether we adopt the German system or the Japanese system at that time, it is best for us to start preparing from the place where we are determined, so as to prevent the sudden change of military system in the future and affect the combat effectiveness."

Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "I don't know what the difference is between the two?" ”

It's not a matter of holding the twist all the time, Zaitao simply put things aside: "There is an essential difference between the two, for example, the German army is divided into four arms: infantry, artillery, cavalry, and engineering, each of which is an independent battalion. ”

Cheng Nuo waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are still nominally just a school engineering team now, to put it bluntly, it is a defensive role, and we will get a cannon cavalry when we come up, which makes outsiders think, even the engineering soldiers have to consider it, and now we should focus on talking about the infantry team." ”

"What the dean said is the same, those who know are our nurses, and those who don't know think we are rebelling." After saying this, Zaitao himself laughed at himself: "Let's talk about the infantry battalion system, the infantry team is divided into left and right wings, and the wing is full of 4 battalions, each battalion has 4 teams, each team has 3 sentinels, each post has 6 sheds, and each shed has 12 soldiers.

Among them, there are commanders, gang commanders, consuls, sentinels, sentry chiefs, supervisors, chief and deputy leaders, regular soldiers, escorts, trumpeters, men, long husbands, etc., in addition to copywriters, committee members, doctors, scholars, and ......"

After saying that, Cheng Nuo was almost dizzy, he really didn't expect that there were so many doorways inside, and he immediately wanted to directly move the military system of our army in the future, but if he thought about it carefully, there was so much time in the middle, and it may not be completely applicable.

Besides, the chief trainer is still Zaitao, and if you want to implement the new system, you have to start from him, and it will take a while to get used to it, so it is better to use the old system first, and then slowly reform the system.

Putting this idea aside for the time being, Cheng Nuo was curious: "If you say that, how many people are there in the whole camp?" ”

Zaitao carefully calculated and gave an accurate number: "If all the establishments are manned, the total number of officers and soldiers in the whole battalion is 1,554." ”

Cheng Nuo secretly said that there are so many people, even if you add all the people in the current Academy of Sciences together, you can't reach this number a few times.

If you think about it carefully, what he wants is elite soldiers, not a large-scale integrated army, and there is no need to follow this model at all.

"The number of people is a bit too much, we don't need so much, let's talk about the Japanese system first." Cheng Nuo smiled.

When it came to the Japanese system, the expression on Zaitao's face instantly became strange: "In fact, I am not very familiar with the Japanese system, and the Beiyang Standing Army is used, and the formation sequence of the army, town, association, standard, battalion, team, platoon, and shed, the commander of the army is called the president, and a battalion is about 1,600 people." ”

Cheng Nuo immediately understood why he looked at Zaitao's strange situation, it turned out to be the troops under Yuan Datou's command, no wonder he was spitting out.

But then again, it seems reasonable that he was called the president by his subordinates at that time, and he wanted to be a big president later.

Shaking his head, Cheng Nuo said seriously: "For the time being, let's take the German system you are familiar with as the basic blueprint, and let's talk about the new changes later, but then again, we do only have 100 people at the moment, and we are still far from the battalion system you said, so let's focus on elite soldiers first." ”

Although it is a little deflated for the time being, it is better than nothing, Zaitao said with a firm look in his eyes: "Okay, the noble essence is not too expensive, the scale of 100 people is just right, if there are more, with the ability that I have wasted for many years, I may not be able to adapt to it." Since you can entrust me with such an important matter, I will definitely give you a perfect answer later. ”

Cheng Nuo said with satisfaction: "Very good, you have a spirit in charge of things, and the rest of the things will be much easier." However, you should also pay attention to the training at the same time, try to pick out some seedlings with more potential, and keep them for me, which will be of great use later. ”

Zaitao was puzzled: "I don't know what the selection criteria are?" ”

Cheng Nuo explained: "Of course, it is the one with better physical fitness and a more active brain, that is, the elite soldier among the elite soldiers, as for the use, you will naturally understand it later." ”

Zaitao nodded: "This is no problem, I will pay attention to it later." ”

Cheng Nuo pointed to the twist flowers that the other party had never eaten on the table and joked: "I think Mr. Zai has eaten too many high-end dim sum, this kind of gadget can't be seen, but it's okay, now is the day to select school workers, you, the principal, can go to Tianjin and pick what you like." ”

Zaitao said excitedly: "Is it really up to me to decide?" ”

Cheng Nuo said indifferently: "Of course so, but the selection criteria have been set, and you can pay attention to the rest." ”

As he spoke, he took out the standard document he had prepared earlier and handed it over.

Zaitao couldn't wait to take it, and after just a glance, he recognized that it was improved on the standard of the Beiyang New Army, and hesitated: "Dean, is our standard a little too high, I'm a little worried." ”

Cheng Nuo shook his head: "The rules are dead, and people are alive, but they can't be too far behind, not to mention that we can select 100 people from so many disaster victims, how can we do it if the standard is uncertain?" ”

In terms of driving people, Cheng Nuo has always been suspicious and not suspicious.

It is because I believe in Zaitao's talent that I dare to delegate power to him, but this is not brainless decentralization, and there should be a standard program, which is indispensable.

Within the rules, everything is easy to say, if it touches outside the rules, then it will naturally be another Cheng Promise to greet this person.

Immediately after the two discussed the selection criteria, Zaitao hurriedly said goodbye and went straight to the disaster area in Tianjin.

Looking at the back of his friend who was far away, Li Laosan couldn't help but feel a little envious: "When can I have today, my subordinates can manage dozens of hundreds of people, how majestic they are when they go out, and they can be more tough when they talk in front of their children." ”

Cheng Nuo sorted out the box of twisted flowers and pushed it in front of Li Laosan: "The old brand tastes good, you can take the rest back and give it to the four children, these days I have been running with us in Tianjin, and it is estimated that I am not lightly tired." ”

Li Laosan blushed and pushed the gift box back: "It is their blessing to be able to learn from Mr., what is there that can't be tired, besides, the child and her mother change their tricks all day long to make them eat, how can there be this condition before, isn't it all given by Mr., I can't accept this thing." ”

Cheng Nuo's face deliberately boarded: "How can there be any blessing or not, in our academy, whether it is an adult or a child, as long as you pay, you will definitely give them a harvest, don't look at the young age of the four children, sometimes you have to treat them as adults, compared to hard work, this twist is nothing!" ”

"Sir, this is really not suitable, if they want to eat it, I will buy it for them directly......" Li Laosan still wanted to refuse.

Unexpectedly, this set of rhetoric did not impress Cheng Nuo: "You buy it, you buy it, I buy it, and I buy it, and the two can't be confused." Didn't you just say that you want to manage dozens of people, and first manage the four little guys obediently.

I have something to do here, so I'll go to the editorial room in the front yard first, and when I come back, I'll see the twist there, and I'll turn my face and don't recognize anyone. ”

After saying this, Cheng Nuo got up directly and left from the residence in the backyard and went to the front yard.

Li Laosan was the only one left in the house, and he was a little worried about looking at these twists, but since Mr. had spoken, it was better to do so.

Gritted his teeth and cleaned up the gift boxes on the table, took them back to his house, and prepared to distribute them to the four children, but he didn't expect that Nidan was the only one in the house.

"Dad, what are you getting here?" Nidan wagged her pigtails and bounced over.

"This, it was the twist flower that Mr. asked me to bring to you to eat, specially brought back from Tianjin, he only ate a piece himself, and the rest is all for you." put down the gift box, Li Laosan kindly touched his daughter's head,

"Really! It's just that last time I was greedy, do you have to buy a piece of twist flowers for each of us, last time I didn't eat it, and I was coaxed away by my brother. Nidan leaned her head over happily.

After all, he is a child, and he is a little anxious, so he has to help Li Laosan open the gift box when he goes up.

Hearing his daughter's "complaints", Li Laosan's face suddenly turned a tiger: "What did you say, the dim sum was coaxed away by your brother again?" Your brother has to take the soles of his shoes and smash his ass. ”

Nidan, who realized that she had said the wrong thing, stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and secretly said in her heart, brother, I'm sorry, who made you coax me all the time.

But after all, it was her own brother, and she still tried her best to get the conversation back: "No, it's just that my one tastes bad, my brother's is even more delicious, and the two of us will eat it later." ”

"Hmph, can I not know your brother? As soon as he pouted his ass, I knew what shit was going to poop on, and I would come back and settle accounts with him. Li Laosan snorted coldly, opened the gift box again, and said: "What about the pears that your mother bought last time, find them for me, and I'll wash a few and bring them to my husband." ”

Nidan took the twist flower and ate it happily, and her mouth was full: "It's still next to the kitchen tank, my mother didn't speak, no one dared to eat it, and it was still there." ”

"Then I said can you eat twist flowers, you start eating, there is only your mother in your eyes, and there is no father like you." Li Laosan said with a dark face.

"Hehe, I know that my dad loves me the most, and he won't care about these little things." Seeing that the situation was not good, Nidan hurriedly coquetted to his father.

"Okay, okay, you eat slowly, remember to leave some for the other party, don't eat alone." Li Laosan's face eased a lot, and he waved his hand and prepared to leave.

When I came to the kitchen, I picked out a few pears with the best faces, washed them, and put them on a plate for Cheng Nuo's residence.

In the middle, I put down my things and cleaned up inside and out again.

I wanted to go out when I pushed the door, but I turned back and took out all the bedding on the bed and took it to the sun to dry.

By the time everything was cleaned up, it had been half an hour since I went back.

When I returned to my room, I found that Ni Dan was still there, but there was not much twist left, so I was immediately angry.

"Didn't I tell you, don't eat alone, you said how many are left here, can they share it?"

Seeing that Daddy was about to go crazy, Nidan quickly explained: "I didn't eat alone, so I ate one." ”

Li Laosan asked, "What about the rest?" ”

"The rest is here." As she spoke, Ni Dan hurriedly opened a few oil paper packages, and said aggrievedly: "One for my brother, one for Wen Cong, and one for Wen Hui." ”

Li Laosan's eyes instantly softened a lot: "What about yours?" ”

"Well, here." Pointing to the rest of the gift box, Nidan said softly: "I'll have a copy with my father." ”

Hearing this, Li Laosan's heart was about to melt at that time, and he hugged his daughter into his arms: "Silly girl, you just take care of yourself, my father and mother don't like to eat this, don't chew so hard with your teeth." ”

Nidan's eyes widened like a pair of copper bells, and she said unconvinced: "Nonsense, last time I saw you pick up the leftover bones we ate and secretly gnaw them yourself." ”

Seeing his daughter dismantle it, Li Laosan blushed, and said with a hard mouth: "Nonsense, it must be a mistake, I'm picking a good treat for that pair of weasels, that's stealing food." ”

"Really, don't lie to me." Nidan hesitated.

"Of course it's true, when did I lie to you about your father, isn't it all for your good, Mr. said that you can grow up by gnawing more bones, and I specially asked your mother to buy it for you, but it's a pity, I still don't like to eat your father." Li Laosan said cheekily.

"Okay, then I'll trust you for the time being, but this twist flower has been divided between the two of you, and this time I have to eat it, and I have to watch you eat it." The child's emotions come up fast and go quickly, Nidan said with a smile.

Li Laosan couldn't have children, so he had to eat the twist flowers again in front of his daughter, and hugged his daughter in the middle and sighed: "The twist flowers are delicious, but don't tell your mother sad things, she can't help, and she won't be able to sleep." ”

Looking at the father with a face full of vicissitudes, Nidan seems to understand whether he understands or not.
