During the more than ten days of mourning in the Zhang Mansion, the Militia Supervisory Office, under the leadership of Wang Litong, Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang, carried out the work in an orderly manner according to the plan. The personnel arrangements for the five departments previously drawn up, several
All the sons of the gentry were happy to take up their posts, and even the ambitious Gao Shun agreed to join the Supervisory Training Office after Wang Litong visited and persuaded him many times.
The militia barracks in the southern suburbs of the city were completed on schedule. Although Yuan Su did not give any wages to the migrant workers at first, only three meals and accommodation, he still transferred a sum of money from Wang Potong on the day of completion and distributed it to each migrant worker.
The five yuan subsidy made these migrant workers extremely excited.
Also during this period, Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang referred to the household information provided by Wang Litong and finally formulated a complete recruitment and training plan. Based on the statistics of the current number of households in Luanzhou, combined with the purpose of the civil defense plan
, it is estimated that a total of about a thousand young people can be recruited into the militia queue, and the training will be divided into two phases.
Regarding the training plan and content, Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang also made careful designs to ensure that the best training effect is achieved as quickly as possible. Of course, after all, they are only training militiamen and not regular troops, so the training intensity is not that severe.
On January 20th, there was a funeral in the Zhang Mansion. Yuan Su followed Fuling's team to the mountain to attend the funeral. He was busy all day long and did not return to the city until evening.
Just after he got off his horse at the stable in the logistics department, Yuan Su was surprised when a figure suddenly appeared from behind the stable.
"Is it Mr. Yuan? You are finally back!"
"Du Yu? What on earth are you doing? Why are you hiding behind the stable in the dark?" Yuan Su heard the voice and couldn't help but feel a little angry for a moment.
"I have been waiting for Mr. Yuan, Mr. Guo, and Mr. Ge to say that there is something urgent that needs to be decided by Mr. Yuan. I dare not neglect it. I think that Mr. Yuan will go to the logistics office to return the horse every day, so I am here waiting for you to come back."
Du Yu said while stamping his feet. Staying outside at night in the winter would have frozen him to death.
"Even if you have to wait, you don't have to wait here in the stable. It's better to go to the office than here." Yuan Su said in a calm voice. He looked at Du Yu's confused look, and there was no anger in his heart anymore, only depression remained.
"Master Yuan's office can't be seen from here. I'm afraid that Master Yuan will come back a little late and then go directly to the dormitory to rest. Master Guo and Master Ge said it was urgent, so I'm afraid of missing something." Du Yu explained quickly.
.
Yuan Su originally planned to teach him a few more words, but in the end he sighed and said nothing more. He could see that Du Yu was too honest, and he really didn't know whether he would be able to make a difference in the future.
"That's all, where are Guo Boji and Ge Zhongwen now?" he asked.
"The two adults should still be waiting in Mr. Yuan's office," Du Yu said.
Yuan Su nodded and walked towards the west barracks with Du Yu.
When we arrived at the office barracks, a gas lamp was still burning in the inner room, and faint voices could be heard.
Yuan Su walked straight over and saw Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang sitting on both sides of the coffee table in the corner, discussing some topic.
When they saw Yuan Su appear, they quickly stood up and saluted. Yuan Su stopped and motioned for them to sit down.
"Zhang Juren is finally done with his work. These days have really paid off for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work." Yuan Su said a polite word and then sat down in his seat. Although he had not done much in the past few days,
But after getting up early and running around late at night, I really felt a little tired.
"Thanks to Mr. Yuan's trust, we just did our duty." Guo Wenyuan replied.
"Oh, by the way, Du Yu said that you have something urgent to do with me. Did something happen at the Supervisory Training Office?" Yuan Su asked.
"Nothing happened at the Supervisory Training Office. The reason why it is an urgent matter is because everything has been prepared. We only need to wait for Mr. Yuan to make a decision before we can start the next step." Guo Wenyuan said.
"Okay, tell me, what's the matter?" Yuan Su adjusted his sitting posture and regained his spirits a little. He would do his best to handle any matter related to the Supervisory Training Office.
Guo Wenyuan turned around and glanced at Ge Jinzhang. Ge Jinzhang immediately picked up a document that had been placed on the coffee table, walked to Yuan Su and presented the document.
"Master Yuan, this is the recruitment and training plan we have formulated. Please take a look at it." Ge Jinzhang said.
Yuan Su took the document and opened it and read it carefully. The document was organized in an orderly manner. It seemed that a lot of effort had been put into it. There was nothing noteworthy in terms of recruitment. It was just a method of recruitment, mobilization and publicity.
So far, it seems that Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang have made good arrangements. First, they need to post notices in various counties and towns, and then cooperate with the mobilization of gentry officials from various places to clearly explain the situation of the Supervisory Training Office.
According to the method briefly discussed before, the Supervisory Training Office will provide three meals a day and accommodation, and all participants in the camp will be issued a set of winter clothes. In addition, there will also be separate prizes throughout the training period.
All awards such as weekly awards, monthly awards and summary awards are settled in food or cash.
As for the names of these rewards, although they have not yet been drawn up in detail, these are simple paperwork and can be carefully arranged at will.
Regarding training, Yuan Su saw two sets of plans in this document. The first set of plans was to adopt full-scale paramilitary training, that is, taking advantage of the slack period, the recruited young men would be locked up in a training camp.
Carry out training throughout the day. Most of all the training items are similar to those of the regular army, but they do not have such high-level requirements. The emphasis is on teaching the militiamen how to use firearms, various queue commands, and basic combat formations.
If this plan is followed, the first phase of training will only take forty days, or even a month. Both phases of militia training will be completed before the busy farming season. The disadvantage is that the time is too hasty and the training is not rigorous enough.
It is meticulous, and full-day training has high requirements on the environment, personnel physical fitness and other miscellaneous aspects. If done improperly, it will be counterproductive.
The second option is relatively more complicated. It requires the first phase of the militia to undergo intensive training for two months. The training intensity will gradually increase from weak to strong, and the training will be fixed for six to eight hours a day. The rest of the time will be left to the militia to rest on their own.
The first-phase militiamen mastered various military skills as comprehensively as possible and approached the standards of the regular army.
Starting from the second period, as the busy farming season has entered, the training time has been significantly adjusted. It is stipulated that all young people who sign up for this period of militia training must work at home for seven hours during the day, and then rush to the training camp to participate in two to three
Hours of training. This period of training can last three to four months. Although the daily training time is short, as long as you persist in completing all the training, I believe the effect will not be the same as the first period.
Furthermore, when young people work in the fields every day, it is a kind of physical exercise. After that, they only need to be given some tips on skills and common sense in the training camp.
