Chapter 344 Those who have perseverance have perseverance.
"Advisor Gao!" A messenger walked into Gao Wuguan's tent.
After heading east from Nanjing to Shanghai, Su Ze prepared temporary barracks for the Second and Third Brigades.
Although they are temporary barracks, the barracks of the two brigades are exactly the same standard barracks. They not only take into account the issue of garrisoning the army, but also consider the issues of food supply and fire prevention.
The perimeter of the barracks was surrounded by fences, and soldiers and officers required a warrant from the brigade commander to enter and exit the barracks. The reason for this was to prevent the stationed soldiers from disturbing the nearby Shanghai County.
Since Gao Wuguan joined the Second Brigade, as a member of the staff of brigade commander Lin Liangjun, he fought all the way from Nanjing to Shanghai.
Along the way, he continued to adapt to the rhythm of the Southeast New Army. When he was stationed in Shanghai, Gao Wuguan finally understood the military system of the Southeast New Army.
The more he understood, the more frightened Gao Wuguan became.
Compared with the Southeast New Army, the Ming Dynasty is just like a grass-roots team. The military system of the Southeast New Army is too strict!
The Second Brigade now has a total of 8,000 troops. Lin Liangjun is the brigade commander and the highest officer of the Second Brigade.
In addition, there is another person in the second brigade who can supervise Lin Liangjun, but this person is not a military eunuch, but a military judge stationed in the second brigade by the Southeast Metropolitan Governor.
After Gao Wuguan entered the second brigade and met the brigade commander Lin Liangjun, the second person he met was the military judge.
The military judge of the second brigade is named Wei Mingyuan. It is said that he was originally a salt owl under Zhu Qi. He later studied and became literate with the governor, and finally passed the military judge examination and became a military judge.
Wei Mingyuan was a sturdy middle-aged man who looked very serious. When he saw Gao Wuguan, he immediately handed the general regulations to Gao Wuguan.
"Commander Gao, this is the "Military Law Regulations" revised by the Governor himself. According to the military orders of the Governor's Office, civilian officers such as generals and military staff officers must be able to recite it proficiently. I will personally assess it after arriving in Shanghai."
Gao Wu Guan immediately wanted to salute, and Wei Mingyuan said: "From now on, the army only needs to hold a fist salute, and there is no need to kneel down when meeting a superior officer. Even if the army sees Governor Su, they only need to hold a fist salute." Gao Wuguan said
. Guan quickly changed his fist-holding salute, reciting the "Military Law Regulations" all the way.
In fact, this regulation is not difficult to memorize. After all, in addition to requiring officers to recite it, soldiers are also required to read it familiarly. They are all in popular vernacular.
The content of the "Military Law Regulations" is very simple. There are only eight articles in total, which prohibit the military from disturbing places and disturbing the people.
In addition, bad habits in the Ming court's army were prohibited, such as prostitution, gambling, fighting and other behaviors. Once violated, they would be served with military sticks, and in severe cases, they would be dismissed from the army, and they might even be tried by a military judge.
It took Gao Wuguan a few days to recite it. Today, the military judge Wei Mingyuan came over to check the recitation of military law by these new officers.
Gao Wuguan immediately stood up and followed the messenger out of the barracks.
Walking in the barracks, Gao Wuguan felt that the camp settings were exquisite.
You are not allowed to carry weapons with you in the military camp. Cold weapons, armor, and gunpowder projectiles are all concentrated in the arsenal in the barracks. They are guarded by the military police attached to the military judge, and there are also specialized soldiers patrolling to prevent fire and theft.
These arsenals are very close to the soldiers' barracks. Once the camp is attacked, the soldiers can quickly arm themselves.
Although there was no fighting along the way, the soldiers were practicing and setting up camp, and similar exercises were conducted many times.
Yes, the barracks along this road are basically the same as those outside Shanghai. Even the simple temporary camps are set up according to this specification. At most, the tents are crude and the barracks are shabby.
Gao Wuguan also studied in the New Military Academy of the Imperial College, and knew that such a setting was naturally afraid of soldiers fighting in the army. If there were weapons in hand, battles in the army would often involve blood, which would lead to blood feuds.
Confiscating weapons can prevent mutiny and prevent military battles from turning into bloody conflicts.
Although the Ming court also knew this truth, the generals of the Ming Dynasty were often too lazy to set it up like this. Gao Wuguan thought more deeply. With the lax military discipline of the Ming army and the level of training, if such a setting was encountered in a night attack, the chaotic military camp would be afraid You can't even get weapons.
After passing the arsenal, Gaowuguan saw another school ground.
The school field is the place where drills are conducted on weekdays. In the spare time of drills, military dramas such as Cuju are also organized.
It was already approaching evening, and today's training had ended. At this time, the two teams were having a Cuju competition on the school field, which also attracted many soldiers to watch.
Gao Wuguan recognized that this was the Cuju team of the first and second regiments competing. Now the second brigade has six regiments, each with about a thousand people. The six regiments compete for everything from Cuju competition to military exploits. His head was bruised and bleeding, and even the red flag of the military health movement could fly up, but the six regiments cooperated tacitly on the battlefield. Gao Wuguan truly admired Lin Liangjun's ability to lead troops.
Later, I heard from other staff officers that this military system was created by the Grand Governor Su Ze, and that the brigade commander only implemented the Grand Governor's policies. Gao Wuguan became even more curious about this Grand Governor whom he had never met before. What does the genius his father said look like? It's no wonder he was able to capture Nanjing in one day.
Walking past the school grounds, you will find the Wounded Soldiers Camp, where wounded soldiers rest and recuperate. Military medical officers under the First Brigade treat soldiers here.
It is said that the military medical officers here are all students of the medical school run by the miracle doctor Li Shizhen in Suzhou Prefecture, and the chief military medical officer is a direct disciple of Li Shizhen.
I saw a bunch of people suddenly rushing out from the school grounds, carrying a person and rushing towards the wounded barracks.
A military medical officer in white clothes immediately went out and directed the soldiers to carry the soldier on the Cuju field into the wounded camp.
Gao Wuguan couldn't help but smile. Wounded soldiers were not only injured on the battlefield. Soldiers who were injured during training or who were not feeling well could apply to go to the wounded camp for medical treatment. This alone far surpassed the Ming court's army.
Although the Ming Army was also equipped with military doctors, these military doctors could only treat the officers. In addition to bringing their own medicine, ordinary soldiers could only resign themselves to fate when they were injured.
Gao Wuguan also heard from other staff officers that the wounded barracks was the only opportunity to see women in the military camp.
I heard that there were several female medical officers in the wounded barracks, and in addition there were many specialized female nurses.
Gao Wuguan didn't understand the difference between a medical officer and a nurse, but he heard that some wounded soldiers had to stay in the wounded camp while their injuries recovered. In the end, the chief medical officer notified their superiors to take them back.
After passing the wounded barracks, there is a simple stage. This is the only second place where women can be seen.
I heard that there will be art soldiers here to perform a drama tonight. Gao Wuguan can only pray that he can pass the military law exam today so that he can come here to watch a drama tonight.
Soon Gao Wuguan saw an acquaintance. This was Li Yangong, the former eldest son of the Marquis of Linhuai, who was assigned to the logistics officer.
"Brother Gao!"
After Li Yangong joined the army, he also chose the second brigade.
It's just that he failed the military strategy assessment. Fortunately, he passed the logistics assessment and was given a position as a logistics staff officer.
The logistics officer is directly subordinate to the brigade commander, and is also equipped with a small staff department responsible for related logistics work. There is also an engineer battalion that takes orders from the logistics officer. The barracks along the way are built by the logistics officer with the staff and the engineer battalion. Li Yangong was so busy that he felt a little more relaxed after arriving at the Shanghai camp.
When Li Yangong saw Gao Wuguan, he said with a grimace: "I can only sleep two hours a day during the march. I have no time to memorize the Military Law Regulations. It's over now!" Gao Wuguan patted him on the hand
. He raised his shoulder to express comfort. He had memorized the "Military Law Regulations" by heart. As long as he didn't make any mistakes, he should be fine.
After a while, the two saw an acquaintance again.
Xiong Kuang was originally a student of the former Fuzhou Naval Academy, so he could directly serve as the chief officer.
After Xiong Kuang joined the Second Brigade, he served as the commander of the newly formed fifth regiment.
The newly formed fifth regiment is a part of Nanjing's new army soldiers, plus troops from the Nanjing Ming court. Xiong Kuang is also very busy these days, leading these recruits to familiarize themselves with military affairs, learn military discipline, and become familiar with drills.
Fortunately, the grassroots officers of the Fifth Regiment were all drawn from the old army, and they finally showed some signs of success when they arrived in Shanghai.
"Captain Xiong!"
Xiong Kuang smiled when he saw the two of them, and said quickly: "Don't ridicule me, this rotten commander is a loser!"
Gao Wuguan immediately said: "Then I will bring a message to you when I get back. Brigadier, Commander Xiong said that a dog can be the commander!"
"Hahaha!"
All three of them laughed out loud.
Although Xiong Kuang did not say his identity as an undercover agent, Gao Wuguan had already guessed the clues. According to the regulations of the Southeast New Army, military officers above the company commander level must have a degree from a military academy. Xiong Kuang did this as soon as he joined the New Army. There must be something wrong with the group leader.
Gao Wuguan saw through it but didn't tell it. Li Yangong simply didn't understand the twists and turns. He thought it was Xiong Kuang's meritorious service in the uprising that was why he was appointed leader.
The three of them exchanged pleasantries and finally arrived at the military judge's camp, which frightened the soldiers.
Wei Mingyuan enforces the law impartially. No matter whether he is a recruit or a veteran, he will not be partial. Whenever there is a dispute in the army, Wei Mingyuan will investigate it thoroughly before making a judgment. From officers to soldiers, everyone respects and fears Wei Mingyuan.
Including Xiong Kuang, all the newly joined officers and staff walked into the military judge's tent and saw the simple tables and chairs with paper and pencil examination papers, which reminded the three of them of their school days.
The serious Wei Mingyuan waited until everyone was seated and said, "For the new officers of the Second Brigade, the Military Law Regulations exam begins now!"
Just when Li Yangong was having a headache about the questions on the paper, Private Li Wang felt happy at this time.
This happiness even diluted the pain in his ankle, because it was a female medical officer who applied medicine to him at this time.
Li Wang was the unlucky guy who had just been injured playing Cuju on the school field and was carried to the wounded barracks by his comrades.
But looking at the female medical officer who was concentrating on applying medicine to him, although the medical officer was wearing a white Hanfu coat and a cotton mask covering her mouth, Li Wang was fascinated by her smart eyes.
Li Wang was a soldier reorganized by Lin Liangjun in Jiujiang and joined the Second Brigade. His qualifications in the Second Brigade were considered old.
Naturally, they are not as senior as those who joined the army when the army was founded in Fujian, but they are much more senior than those who joined the army in Nanjing.
The last time Li Wang performed well in the battles in Anqing and Nanjing, he was recommended by the company to participate in the next military academy.
Hearing the company commander say that only those who had attended a military academy could be "promoted", Li Wang still found it a bit unbelievable. His family was a hereditary military household in Jiujiang, and they were just the most ordinary soldiers. Their family had never produced an officer for generations.
Unexpectedly, just a few months after joining the New Army, Li Wang would get the opportunity to be "promoted", which made Li Wang even more motivated to work hard for the governor.
When he joined the army, Li Wang's family was granted land in Jiujiang. Although the acres of land were not large, the taxes collected by most of the governors were also low now!
Moreover, if Li Wang joins the army, his family will be exempted from military service, and the exemption money is a large sum of money.
Now that the spring plowing has been planted, if the war can be completed in the autumn, Li Wang might still be able to see his family's crops.
Li Wang is already thirty years old, but he originally came from a poor military household, and no one wanted to marry him. In the Ming army, the problem of singles among military households was very serious.
Because children and grandchildren have to be military households for generations, no family is willing to marry their daughter to an ordinary military household.
Li Wang heard from the company commander that the governor had said that when the war is over, or disabled and retired officers can transfer to local officials to become officials. The company commander can also go to the county to become an official. I heard that if the regiment commander changes his job, You can directly become the county magistrate.
After hearing this, Li Wang naturally became more motivated.
If you don't want to be a regiment leader, even if you become a company commander or a county official, you will definitely be able to find a wife.
Li Wang, who was originally prepared to be a bachelor for the rest of his life, also began to have sexual feelings. Today, this female medical officer who smelled of soap made Li Wang's heart itch even more.
"Okay, the medicine has been applied. Today it will be fixed with a wooden board. Don't exert any more force on your ankle. It should be fine in two days." But
Li Wang didn't listen to a word, he just stared blankly. Looking into Doctor Sun's eyes.
With Li Wang staring straight at him, Medical Officer Sun turned his head and said, "Private Li Wang of the First Battalion."
"Here!"
Li Wang instinctively wanted to stand up and salute, but found that he couldn't stand up at all.
Doctor Sun chuckled, and then said with a straight face: "Li Wang, right? You'd better heal your foot injury quickly. If you can't catch up with the next war, you will have to stay in Shanghai." Li Wang blushed when he heard this
. Baiting, he quickly asked: "Medical Officer Sun, when are we going to leave?" "How
can I know such a big thing, but if you take good care of your injury, your foot will recover quickly."
Li Wang regretted extremely, why he had to steal the ball , it will be a big loss if you can't participate in the next battle!
This was not the first time that Dr. Sun had seen a soldier like this. She smiled and said, "You just sprained it. No bones were injured. You can recover quickly by applying medicine." Smelling the scent of the soap on Dr. Sun's body, Li Wang
secretly I am determined to make another meritorious service on the battlefield!
I also want to be the leader! The media is marrying Dr. Sun!
