Five hundred soldiers who were promoted to the rank of second-class soldiers appeared.
Their relatives cried with joy and proudly shouted the names of those soldiers. These were their children and grandchildren, their husbands, and their brothers.
The names of five hundred military units were posted on the bulletin board in Youcheng. Yi soldiers, three-way boat divisions in the East China Sea, real military units, good sons and gentlemen, good men.
More and more sons of common people came outside the Zhizhou Mansion, using all their strength to hold out their withered chests and distorted facial features, trying to show the most terrifying and ferocious expressions.
Tao Weiran led a group of old Hucheng cousins who came as government officials and patrolled the group with disgust on their faces.
Fatty Tao has become the dog official of Xiao County again. The dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory. Every word that comes out of his mouth makes him want to be beaten to ashes by the sons of common people who are eager to join the army.
The boat master is the bravest warrior in Zhongzhou, are you worthy...
If you join the boat division, three generations of your family will be respected. Are you worthy...
Only the bravest and strongest people are qualified to join the navy. Are you worthy...
The sharpest sword, the most powerful armor, each set costs up to a thousand dollars, are you worthy...
Each of the strongest ships was built by tens of thousands of people under the leadership of Mohist disciples. If you want to stand on the ship and ride the wind and waves, are you worthy...
Follow Chu Shuai, go to sea, kill enemies, and conquer Yingdao. Chu Shuai only leads the most elite warriors, and obtains endless wealth and supreme glory. The emperor personally receives him, and the courtiers praise loudly, are you worthy...
Do you deserve it? Do you deserve it? Do you deserve it?
One sentence after another, "Are you worthy?" is like humiliation, like abuse, but more and more sons of the common people are gathering outside Zhizhou Mansion. Their fathers, their brothers, their sisters and mothers are standing in the distance. , my heart was raised in my throat, praying to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, hoping that the fat man who had killed a thousand swords would look at his child.
But are you worthy of each one? That fat guy who should be put in the frying pan, in the end, he just looked disgusted. From more than 4,000 sons of common people, 400 people were selected, not to join the boat division, but to make them become the governor. Soldier reserve.
The government soldiers, and they are also reserve troops!
This means that they need to first receive the most basic infantry combat training in Zhechong Mansion and Tunbingwei. After three months, they will be qualified to become Marine Corps soldiers.
After becoming a Marine Corps soldier, he went to the Youcheng Marine Corps camp to conduct naval battle-related drills. Only after passing the qualification can he join the Marine Corps and become a real Marine Corps army, and he would also be a soldier, just like the original Imperial Alliance Army. Treatment, brother within brother.
Four hundred common people waved their hands, and many even fainted with excitement.
In the crowd of common people, the fathers were shouting, the brothers were shouting, and the sisters and mothers were crying with joy. Their relatives were half-stepped into the threshold of the boat master. As long as they gritted their teeth and persisted, the whole family would be safe. Bentou.
More people cursed, and many of the sons of the people who were not chosen knelt down and cried bitterly.
Back in Zhizhou Mansion, Tao Weiran was also cursing.
He was afraid just now that the people would rush in and beat him to death.
In fact, according to Tao Weiran, no, even according to the standards of Brother Dajun, all the sons of the common people, those more than 4,000 people, are qualified to join the navy. It has nothing to do with whether they are physically strong or not. Just the longing and even paranoid eyes are enough. Qualified.
But Chu Qing is one out of ten. Only one out of ten people can join the navy reserve force.
Tao Weiran understood what Chu Qing meant.
First of all, it is impossible for all young people to join the army. Even if it is wartime, if they all join the army, who will do farming and who will do other things.
Secondly, only this almost harsh selection system can keep the people in such a state of pride in joining the navy.
The most important thing is that there are too many troops and it is useless, and there are simply not enough ships.
Of course, this kind of recruitment will be held every one to two months.
Arriving at the back door of Zhizhou Mansion, Tao Weiran changed into regular clothes and rode away in a low-key manner. He was afraid that if the common people recognized him, someone would stab him to death. After all, most of the common people's sons had failed, and now Some people in Youcheng have already begun to call him a dog official.
All the way to the military camp's command tent, Tao Weiran walked in anxiously.
Chu Qing stood with his hands behind his back, his back to the entrance, looking at the newly drawn map.
Looking at Chu Qing's back, Tao Weiran suddenly discovered something.
Chu Qing became serious, really... quite serious.
In fact, since Chu Qing became the commander-in-chief of the navy, many people have become aware of this matter.
Chu Qing spent less time sleeping and appeared in front of the "public" more often. He participated in almost every policy formulation or change of initiatives, and more than half of them were made by him personally. He rarely spoke out about people's livelihood matters. , but regarding the issue of the boat master, nine out of ten cases are decided by Qian Gang alone.
Facts have proved that although Chu Qing's actions and decisions are somewhat puzzling, the results are gratifying and far exceed everyone's expectations.
Chu Qing didn't know how to train troops, but he would think about it all night long, how to temper the will of the troops and give them faith. He has always believed that change comes from the inside out, not from the outside. Inside.
Turning around, Chu Qing glanced at Fatty Tao, who still had that familiar look and tone.
"Why the hell have you gained weight again?"
Tao Weiran's old face turned red: "There are many errands and there is a lot to eat."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes fiercely: "Fortunately, I know you well. If it were anyone else, just looking at your growth rate, I would have thought you were lazy every day."
Tao Weiran sat down, not knowing how to answer this.
Many times, he feels quite miserable.
Chu Qing must be a good boss, a good boss that all workers want to follow.
Don’t be suspicious of people, don’t be suspicious of employees. Give money to people when you want them, give people to people when you want them, and delegate power to an extremely exaggerated level. You can take this position, and you can take charge of everything that is yours and not yours. Everything. Everyone will cooperate with you.
But in fact, Tao Weiran was in pain and happy.
Before meeting Chu Qing, he felt that his greatest height in his life was to become the magistrate of Shangyundao. Now, he had done it and became the magistrate of Youcheng.
Logically speaking, he should be happy.
But in fact, he was in a lot of pain.
Because he, the magistrate of Youcheng, manages the entire province, he is responsible for the entire military and political affairs of Guanghuai Road, including the appointment and assessment of officials, the dispatch and dispatch of grain and grass, the formulation and distribution of policy decisions, and the reconstruction of Zhechong Mansion and Tunbingwei. , commercial tax affairs, etc., etc., he alone has the final say on everything.
Now Tao Qi doesn't even dare to call him Dundun, because Tao Weiran is, in a substantial sense, in charge of the power of life and death of all the soldiers and civilians on Guanghuai Road. The old Tao family has been in Shangyun Road for so long. His achievements are not as high as those of Tao Weiran.
The Tao family came over a few days ago. Fatty Tao's adoptive father and mother had to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Chu Qing, otherwise they would feel uneasy. Chu Qing was frightened and said that he and Fatty Tao were too close to each other. Like brothers, then the adoptive father and biological mother will directly do a super double, and they will knock twenty!
"The timber is all ready, and the dock can be dug in five days."
Tao Weiran took out a small notebook and glanced at it: "Yesterday, Guo Cheng's letter arrived. The eldest lady said that the construction of the sea defense tower has been completed and that the sea protection wall will be built. Due to some terrain problems, the wall wants to be built behind the sea defense tower. Wen The commander-in-chief sent someone to come. There were about a hundred shipwrights and a shipyard on Guanghuai Road. They asked if they could build sea-going ships. The court issued a notice. The general who put down the rebellion was a military general named Lan Renshan. , General Yunhui, once the anti-rebellion army arrives, there will be enough manpower and the twisters have been brought. When Fushuai Chen comes back tonight, he should be asking for strong fire oil. He has hit a wall with Miss Tao and wants to store more. Some were put on the warships to prevent the Japanese from invading. Mr. Mo said that the trebuchets have been completed..."
"Oops." Chu Qing interrupted impatiently: "You can figure it out yourself."
"Commander, this official is only responsible for Guanghuai Road..."
"You will be responsible for all three tasks from now on. Treat it as weight loss."
Tao Weiran: "..."
Chu Qing took out the blank imperial edict from his arms and was about to speak when he looked suspicious: "In our Dachang Dynasty, what is the name of the official position in charge of the three military and political powers?"
"I…"
"Just call me the General Manager of the Three Paths. The emperor's approval. The Fourth Brother told me in a dream last night that I will appoint you as the General Manager of the Three Paths of the East China Sea. That's it. Go ahead and let me take a look..."
Before he finished speaking, Tao Qi rushed in angrily, angrily: "Tao Weiran!"
Tao Weiran scared a giant spirit: "What's going on?"
"Did A Yi drink with you again last night..."
Seeing that Chu Qing was also there, Tao Qi blushed, and quickly said elegantly: "I didn't know that the commander-in-chief was here. I thought you went to the military camp. Don't blame me, commander-in-chief."
"From now on, when you and A Yi get married, you will still call me cousin. We are both family members, so don't be offended."
Chu Qing said nonchalantly: "It's okay, just keep scolding me. I'm done here. I just appointed Tao Weiran as the Third Chief Manager."
"May I ask, Commander-in-Chief, what do the three general managers mean?"
"Tao Weiran will be responsible for all military and political matters in the East China Sea and the Three Realms from now on, and will be approved by the emperor."
Without saying a word, Tao Qi turned to look at Tao Weiran and gave a salute: "My sister means that if Master Tao wants to drink, how can you look for Xiao Yi, an inelegant fool? How can he be qualified to be with you?" Let’s drink at the table.”
Chu Qing: "..."
Ertong came in with a gloomy expression: "Sir, I found that there were only two Ying ships. I put down my boat and approached the sentinel ship. I said that I was an envoy from the Ying thieves and wanted to see you."
