Chapter Seventy-Two: Recruitment
"Okay, then please, Lao Zhang." Lin Qiang nodded.
When everyone was about to end the meeting, Lin Qiang suddenly slapped his face again and said, "In the future, don't talk about rebellion or anything." We want to free the oppressed and enslaved people, overthrow the old system, and overthrow the aristocracy that rides on the heads of the people. From then on, our goal was not a rebellion, but an uprising. Do you understand? ”
The people who crossed over together looked at Lin Qiang who said these words with a peculiar gaze, and they always felt that these things that Lin Qiang said were so familiar.
But these words are so uplifting for the aborigines of this world.
Saving the people, this is different from the dynastic changes that have occurred on this continent for thousands of years, and there is no kind of imperial spirit that sweeps Liuhe and dominates the eight wildernesses.
He only truly reflects the psychological needs of the lowest class of people.
And all the people present, they are all non-magical, they are all at the bottom of this world, and they are all innate and innate beings who are not talented for this world.
But who said that if you can't magic, you have to be enslaved?
From Cheng Shaowei to Hou Pai, to Yan Xiaohuan and Zhang Feng, they all agreed with a bang. From this day on, no matter what Lin Qiang said just now, whether it can be achieved to overthrow the old system and rescue the oppressed people, they finally have their own ideals and goals, and are willing to fight for this ideal.
At this point, no one noticed Robin's expression. Robin's eyes revealed a hint of complexity, but in an instant, he couldn't suppress the burning fire in his heart. He clenched his fists as if he had made a completely new decision.
After the meeting, at Zhang Feng's suggestion, the People's Salvation Army released the news of this battle, as well as the overthrow of the rule of the aristocracy and the rescue of the oppressed people. It's just that there was no telegraph in this era, and most of the lower classes of people were illiterate, so the release of the news this time was still a very primitive form, that is, sending people to spread the word of mouth.
The release of the news did not cause an uproar as expected. said that some people who didn't know magic hugged a group and defeated a high-level magician, and it was laughed by many people who heard the news. But there are those who do not believe, and there are those who believe. Many of the oppressed towns of Chel, as well as many peasants, displaced people, and workers enslaved by the aristocracy in the southern part of Hussein province, rushed to the direction of the town of Chel, with their families or alone.
Twenty years ago, there was just a riot in the kingdom, and hundreds of years ago, there was a prophecy on the continent. Some of these oppressed people, who are struggling to live, always choose to believe in hope.
And in the process of publicity, the mine also underwent a reorganization. Since it is really inappropriate to work according to the mine arrangement, it is not suitable to make arrangements from the perspective of the People's Salvation Army.
After obtaining the consent of the Moyan tribe, the Qingling mine and the Moyan tribe were integrated, and from then on, the mine and the Moyan tribe, as well as all those who were willing to participate in the uprising in the future, were collectively called the People's Salvation Army.
The purpose of the Salvation Army is to fight for the people, to overthrow the oppression of the magical aristocracy. The goal is to establish a new system in which the people can turn over and truly call the shots, and then all rights will belong to the most ordinary, most popular people.
The mine and the Moyan tribe also reached a consensus to jointly elect a military and political committee of the People's Salvation Army. Among the members of this committee are Lin Qiang in the field of civil affairs, Han Xu in the logistics and intelligence department, Duan Lingzi in the field of intelligence and psychological work, Yan Xiaohuan and Chang Shi in the field of military training, Liang Shuopeng, Cheng Shaowei, and Hou Pai in the field of scientific research, Gao Ting in the field of education, Li Xueyuan in the medical field, Zhao Huiying in the propaganda field, and Robin in the field of construction. Zhang Feng and Zhang Luoyang did not assume the duties of the Military Commission on the grounds that they were old and could not adapt to the new technology and new era, but if the Military Commission needed their help, they would have no reservations.
The Military Commission also appointed individuals according to the division of labor. All members are equal in status, and the future direction of the People's Salvation Army is decided by a vote at a meeting, and the minority obeys the majority.
At present, the Military Commission of the People's Salvation Army has set up its own functional departments for each aspect of the committee, and the staff of each department is appointed and dismissed by the head of each department. The current appointments to the Functional Departments are:
Minister of Civil Affairs Lin Qiang, Minister of Logistics Han Xu, Minister of Psychology Duan Lingzi, Minister of Intelligence Han Xu and Duan Lingzi, Minister of Military Affairs Yan Xiaohuan, Vice Minister of Military Affairs Chang Shi, Minister of Education Gao Ting, Minister of Health and Health Li Xueyuan, Minister of Propaganda Zhao Huiying, Minister of Scientific Research Liang Shuopeng, Vice Minister of Scientific Research Cheng Shaowei and Hou Pai, Minister of Construction Luo Bin.
Then, after a show of hands at the conference, Lin Qiang, the current mine manager, was tentatively appointed as the chairman of the new committee.
And the People's Salvation Army, which released the news of the capture of Cheltown with almost zero casualties, finally ushered in the first wave of enlistment.
The advantage of being located in the plains of the town of Chel was highlighted, and the people who heard the news from all directions, believing that the lower classes of the people rushed to the town of Chel. The first battalion fought beautifully in that battle, and the military discipline was strict, so that no crime was committed in the autumn, and many people in the town of Chel and the surrounding villages of Chel town also enthusiastically signed up to join the army.
Robin, the Minister of Construction, with the newly recruited members of the Ministry of Construction, rode a fast horse to the town of Chel for guidance, and spent a week rebuilding the barracks. The barracks of the security regiment itself with a capacity of 500 people have been tripled, but this is not enough. On the premise of not demolishing the houses, Robin had only one way left, that is, to fill in the moat, and expand the area of the town of Cair, until the barracks were expanded fivefold, and finally became less crowded.
The Military Council was also soon moved to the town of Chel and carried out various aspects of work. Propaganda of publicity, medical care of the provision of medical services. Under the policies of propaganda and public civil services, as well as electricity, the indigenous people of Cheltown gradually reduced their resistance to the People's Salvation Army, and a considerable number of people supported the People's Salvation Army.
In addition to propaganda and ideology, the focus of the recruitment work is also the screening work and the logistical support work. So in the past two days, Han Xu and Duan Lingzi have also been busy, and their feet do not touch the ground.
The first is screening, although Duan Lingzi's psychological department has been established, the intelligence personnel of this world basically can't escape the micro-expressions in the modern sense, as well as the psychological scale test review. But Duan Lingzi is still very busy.
The suggestion of releasing the news mentioned by Zhang Feng does have advantages and disadvantages, and the advantage is that more than 1,000 people have been recruited in just over half a month. But the people who released the news from all over the world were also mixed. In just half a month, Han Xu and Duan Lingzi have found out more than a dozen people suspected of being spies, some were directly arrested on the spot, and some spies did not realize that they had been exposed, so they were kept by Duan Lingzi and Han Xu to put a long line to catch big fish.
Fortunately, both of them had the foresight to cultivate a group of intelligence workers with modern intelligence ability and awareness, otherwise this job is really not easy to do now.
The expansion of the army made it untimely for the security corps prisoners to be put on hold. Therefore, the Military Commission temporarily decided to send Zhao Huiying to lead the Propaganda Department to do ideological education for three days, and then see if there were any soldiers who could be transformed into soldiers of the People's Salvation Army.
Zhao Huiying used an instantaneous solution to preach about these captives, from the oppression of the people by the magicians and nobles to the suffering of the ordinary people. Gradually, part of the soldiers moved. Zhao Huiying even arranged for the troupe that had previously performed "The Evil Magician" to perform in Chel Town.
After watching this performance, many security regiments, including newly recruited soldiers, finally agreed to join the People's Salvation Army. But there are also some who choose to go home. For these people who chose to go home, Lin Qiang arranged for Han Xu, the minister of logistics, to give them the money and food to go home.
By now, the mine had accumulated a lot of grain, and after the capture of the town of Cair, a large number of common currencies of the kingdom were found, as well as various gold, silver and jewelry.
It is said that the Qing prefect has been in the Qing Prefecture for three years, and there are 100,000 snowflakes of silver. It is not certain whether Tyr is the Qing Governor's Mansion or not, but it is true that from Tyre's residence, the money of the young and old was discovered, and these money and property were confiscated and are currently managed by Han Xu, the Minister of Logistics.
Of course, there are still some stubborn people who think that they should be loyal to this kingdom, and after studying it, the military committee did not directly execute them, but asked the commander of the first battalion, Hal, to send a team of people to escort them back to the prison in the mountains behind Qingling. After all, the mine is now in full swing of industrialization and requires a lot of manpower. In order to establish a new military commission, in order to liberate the people, it is natural that the people cannot be oppressed, so these stubborn prisoners, whether they are coolies or prisoners of labor reform, are more useful to pull them to do some work than to kill them, and they can also show the benevolence and righteousness of the People's Salvation Army.
The night before escorting the prisoners back to Houshan Prison, Han Xu found Hal in the barracks and talked to Hal about something, and Hal also understood and promised to complete the task.
The next day, more than a dozen soldiers from a company and a platoon of a squad escorted more than 30 prisoners to the direction of the mine. Their task was to escort all the more than 30 captives back to the mine and hand them over to the head of the prison.
Among the more than thirty captives were Jack and Tom. Tom is an advanced security corps, and Jack is a recruit to the security corps. In the past, Tom had always taken Jack to eat, drink and have fun, and Jack was willing to play the role of a little brother. But ever since the battle in which the Salvation Army captured Chel and Jack saved his life, Tom has gradually taken Jack as the head of the horse.
"I said Jack, weren't you reluctant to rush forward when you were fighting, why did you show loyalty again at this time?" Tom, taking advantage of the inattention of a group of soldiers, leaned over to Jack's side and muttered quietly.
