Confused, Gao Zheng went to the division headquarters to ask Zhang Malin, and even said tactfully that if it didn't work, it would be okay to transfer a deputy battalion commander or a senior sentry commander from other troops. Practical experience in leading troops.
A complete novice, he was afraid of something going wrong.
After Zhang Malin heard this, he said: "Don't worry so much. Just teach him some practical experience in leading troops in the future. And don't worry, he won't stay under your hand for long!"
As he spoke, Zhang Malin pointed at Wang Yongxing's resume on the table and said: "He is the top pick in the first official class and the first combat staff officer of the first division. He has a bright future!"
"I'm not afraid that you might feel uncomfortable after hearing this. The infantry battalion under your command is just for his training!"
"And don't feel aggrieved. If Major Wang's qualifications weren't so low, the Military and Political Department would even plan to give him a training regiment!"
As he spoke, Zhang Malin also sighed and said: "For this group of formal class students, His Majesty means to use them with confidence and boldness. Even if they encounter temporary setbacks, they cannot give up easily."
"Failure is the mother of success. Human growth needs to be experienced. How can we welcome the rainbow without going through wind and rain?"
"Ordinary students are like this, let alone the first-class champion!"
"As long as he doesn't make any principled mistakes, even if he ruins your entire battalion one day, he can still change his position and start over again!"
"Gao Zheng, you have been promoted from a soldier all the way. You have rich experience in leading soldiers. You should teach him as much as possible to avoid making detours."
After hearing these words, Gao Zheng became even more worried...
Damn, this is the rhythm of letting yourself be a nanny.
Gao Zheng returned to the regiment headquarters full of worries. On the way, he was thinking about how to deal with Wang Yongxing and how to teach him as much as possible about his practical experience in leading troops.
But when he returned to the regiment headquarters and talked with Wang Yongxing, and tried to teach him some of his practical experience in leading troops, he found that this man did not have the arrogance of a scholar, let alone the arrogance of the first graduate in a formal class. Instead, he looked open-minded and eager to learn.
When Gao Zheng was talking, this man actually picked up a pen and paper and wrote down what he said...
And he will not just listen and not talk, but will ask questions from time to time, and even draw inferences from one example.
After such contact and semi-teaching, Gao Zheng found that this person was quite easy to get along with, and it was really easy for people to develop a love for talents.
No wonder he got the top spot in the first official class. Not everyone can have this open-minded and eager-to-learn attitude.
After Major Wang Yongxing came out of Gao Zheng's office, he also had a smile on his face.
He also found that Gao Zheng, who was temporarily the deputy commander and became the commander a month later, was quite easy to get along with. When he came to serve in the 24th Regiment, he was actually worried that the people here would have opinions about him.
After all, he knew it very well. Even though he was the number one in the first formal class, he was even jokingly called the number one scholar in martial arts, and he also served as the first combat staff officer in the 1st Division Headquarters.
But none of these can cover up the shortcoming that Wang Yongxing has never actually led troops.
And this flaw will most likely lead to huge challenges in his military career.
However, as a scholar who suffered a lot in his youth, and even spent a year as a refugee, during which he was even used as a document for exiles, Wang Yongxing would never give up or even back down.
In order to survive, he could even endure hardships and work as a clerk among bandits.
In order to gain the appreciation of his superiors, he worked hard after joining the Baoxiang Army.
While studying at the Military Academy, he studied hard day and night and was not ashamed to ask questions. During every sand table deduction, he would rack his brains just to get better results.
Because he knew that joining the Hometown Protection Army and enrolling in the Officer Academy was most likely the most important opportunity in his life.
Once you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!
In the end, he successfully completed his military theory studies as the leader of the first formal class, and was assigned to the First Division as a combat staff officer. During this period, he also maintained a great enthusiasm for learning, work attitude, and paid close attention to every combat plan. Strive for excellence and finally get approval from the superiors.
This kind of recognition finally made the superiors put aside their worries and decided to let him directly serve as the commander of an infantry battalion, so that he could increase his practical experience in leading troops and completely solve the huge shortcoming of his lack of practical leadership experience.
It was an unprecedented first time for a person who had never actually led troops to become a battalion commander, even in the Baoxiang Army, which was expanding rapidly and promoted its officers rapidly.
Not to mention the main division, even the garrison division has never had such an example.
But what Wang Yongxing knows better is that while he has received this precious opportunity, he has also been under tremendous pressure.
If this is done, then of course it will be hello to you, me, and everyone.
If he messes up, his future will be in doubt, and it may even implicate Li Chengtong, the commander of the First Division, and others who recommended him because they were optimistic about him.
Without the approval of senior military generals such as Li Chengtong, it is absolutely impossible for Wang Yongxing to directly lead an infantry battalion. There is a high probability that he will be assigned to a new army as the deputy commander. He will learn slowly, and then lead troops and gain experience. Let him officially lead the troops again.
Wang Yongxing didn't want to mess up, so he had already made up his mind before coming here. He would definitely not make any mistakes in his appointment this time. If he had no experience, he would learn from it.
Gao Zheng, who is called the deputy leader but is actually the leader, is a good person to learn from.
Even though Gao Zheng had never formally attended school before, he only attended a literacy class to learn Chinese characters after joining the army, and also attended crash courses and advanced courses. He could not even use an idiom when speaking.
But this does not mean that he is a very experienced front-line officer.
Gao Zheng is an officer who has climbed all the way up from the lowest level. He has rich command experience and absolutely no lack of ability.
When Gao Zheng joined the army, there were already thousands of people in the Baoxiang Army. At that time, it was impossible for ordinary soldiers to steadily climb to the level of the leader of the main force based on their so-called seniority.
Therefore, Wang Yongxing attached great importance to Gao Zheng's experience, and he was greatly relieved that Gao Zheng took the initiative to teach him.
In the next few days, before a large number of new recruits arrived, Gao Zheng trained Wang Yongxing and other officers and non-commissioned officers, learned and discussed with each other, and further improved the organizational structure of the 24th Infantry Regiment.
Just as Gao Zheng and the others were working hard for the training of the 24th Infantry Regiment and their personal future, the city of Wuchang gradually changed.
Some buildings in the city that were originally thought to have been damaged by the war were quickly repaired, and some construction waste such as sand, gravel and wood were reused or transported away directly.
The dirty streets in the city began to be cleaned up.
Large-scale and intensive cleaning was carried out on various sewers in the city.
We also took in beggars, refugees and other homeless people in the city, and later arranged to enter various labor camps, construction camps or reclamation camps based on the principle of work-for-relief.
In this process, there will also be a small number of professional beggars, arrogant homeless people who are unwilling to go to the labor camp. If they shout, I will be happy to beg for food and you will bite me... For such people, the soldiers of the Home Guard Army will basically directly hold the bayonet. The gunman used to talk about the cash-for-work policy again.
If the person is still unwilling and insists on resisting, just stab him with a bayonet.
In troubled times, important codes should be used!
In order to quickly rectify the security situation in the newly occupied cities, the Chu Empire has always struck hard. Through a series of means such as early-stage purge operations and later public security clean-ups, all potential unsettling factors were basically eliminated. Take control or directly destroy them physically.
In this process, more stubborn resisters are often killed than in the siege stage!
The Dachu Empire attached great importance to public security and environmental sanitation issues in Wuchang City, or it could be said that Luo Zhixue attached great importance to it personally.
Not surprisingly, he will stay in Wuchang City for a long time, at least until he captures Jiangnan and moves the capital to Jinling City, he will stay here most of the time.
And he doesn't want the city where he lives to be extremely dirty, with diseases flying everywhere!
It is very dangerous to be infected with any disease these days. Most diseases can only be resisted by the body's own immunity. Once it cannot resist, the game of life is over.
Especially now there are many infectious diseases such as smallpox and plague.
Luo Zhixue doesn't want to suddenly contract any disease, so he pays great attention to surrounding hygiene issues on weekdays, and also pays more attention to his own diet and exercise.
In short, he just wanted to avoid getting sick, no matter if it was a cold, smallpox, plague, etc., he didn't want to catch it.
Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to get through it directly.
As the saying goes, the King of Chu had such a thin waist that many people died of starvation in the palace.
Because Luo Zhixue was afraid of death, he had always attached great importance to health issues. This was good for the superiors and invested in the subordinates. Therefore, it was inevitable that the officials of the Great Chu Empire would also attach great importance to these issues.
Especially in the cities where Luo Zhixue passed through or was stationed, the Chu Empire officials paid more attention to this kind of health problem and often carried out sanitation and rectification operations.
After they arrived in Wuchang City, they took this issue seriously.
Apart from the Chu Empire’s rural protection army, you can’t see a second army that will conquer a certain city and end the civil war in the city. They will do nothing else and clean the sewers as soon as possible...
After just a few days of intensive rectification, the city of Wuchang has taken on a completely new look!
The beggars and homeless people in the city have disappeared, the sewers have been cleaned and no longer clogged, and no shop on both sides of the street dares to occupy the street anymore, let alone throw garbage on the street.
Wuchang is still the same Wuchang, even the architecture has not changed.
But in the eyes of many people, Wuchang is different from the original Wuchang.
This change was even more severe in the eyes of the Wang family and his son who came from Xiangyang to Wuchang to attend the wedding!
