Starting from the next day, Yuan Su did not go to the Zhang Mansion in Anshan Town. The entire funeral ceremony was over, and the remaining ceremonies were only for the direct relatives of the Zhang family. www He turned his energy back to the Supervisory Training Office, and once
Early in the morning, I went to the suburbs of Nancheng to inspect the training camp, and also urged Guo Wenyuan, Ge Jinzhang and Wang Li and others to go to various townships and towns to carry out mobilization and propaganda.
The barracks at the Supervisory Training Office are much better than Yuan Su expected. Not only is it surrounded by a wooden fence, but it also has barracks, a battlefield, and a sentry tower. It is obviously unexpected that waste can be used to this extent.
Wang Litong temporarily sent several government officials to station here in the camp. In the past few days, he was also setting up beds, oil lamps, food and other items, and gradually sent people to the camp to set them up.
Yuan Su also planned to send a few soldiers from 79 Biao to watch over the camp. After all, during this period of free time, there were a lot of things inside that he had to pay attention to. However, he really couldn't move people around in the Biaobu compound.
Zhang Jiangong's men would not obey his orders easily, and he did not trust the people in the third battalion either.
He considered taking the time to go to the First Battalion in a few days to discuss the matter with Zhao Shanhe and see if some soldiers from the First Battalion could be stationed at the Supervisory Training Office.
Although the major news coming from the capital a while ago caused a sensation in Luanzhou, today, when the news came out that the Supervisory Training Office officially started recruiting Minzhuang, it immediately replaced the previous big event and once again
It has become the most hotly discussed topic on the streets of Luanzhou.
The assassination of Mr. Yuan Gongbao was a national event, and for the ordinary people of Luanzhou, it was something that was beyond their reach.
However, recruiting civilians is a novel thing that happens directly around them. When the specific rules were not clear before, people did not know how the military-civilian joint defense would be carried out. But after seeing the message posted on the bulletin board today, it turned out that
Those who were recruited into the militia were not only provided with three meals a day, but were also given a set of winter clothes for free, which was a great benefit to many poor families.
Originally, the New Year was difficult, and there was a lack of food and rice in winter, so most young people had nothing to do. Now the government not only provides serious work to protect their homes, but also solves the problem of food and clothing. It can be said to be a timely help. For ordinary people,
, there is nothing more important than food and clothing.
The contents of the announcement quickly spread like wildfire, and people rushed around to tell each other. In less than half a day, it had spread throughout Luanzhou, and even other nearby states and counties had heard about it.
After hearing the news, young people from various counties and towns in Luanzhou rushed to the nearest registration point.
All registration work is arranged by the state government to each county government. Registration is set up by the town government, and almost every town has a registration point. It is also clearly stated on the notice that has been posted that the number of people recruited this time is limited.
Because of this, nearly 800 young people have signed up on the first day alone. People are afraid of not being able to catch up, so no matter how long the queue is or how long the journey is, they are scrambling to sign up within today.
name.
Although both Yuan Su and Wang Litong expected that this matter would receive a positive response from the public, judging from the number of people who signed up on the first day, it still greatly exceeded their expectations.
That evening, Yuan Su held a meeting at the Yamen of the Prefecture and invited all the officials from the five departments of the Supervisory Training Office who had been appointed before.
It was also at this meeting that he met the famous Gao Shun for the first time.
It has to be said that the other person was very eye-catching when he walked into the front door. He was wearing a crisp suit. The braid on the back of his head had long been cut off, and his hair was combed into a popular Western style of four or six. Compared to the other seven, he was still wearing Chinese clothes.
For a son of the gentry, Gao Shun was obviously very unique.
He couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Luanzhou's folk customs are not open. Gao Jianyang cut off his braids and dressed up like a fake foreign devil. How could he get a good reputation among the squires? Could it be that Wang Liotong deliberately blew up Gao Jianyang's reputation?
While Wang Liantong was introducing everyone who came in to him one by one in a low voice, Yuan Su also asked Wang Liantong in a low voice: "Is this Gao Jianyang normally dressed like this?"
Wang Litong smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "That's not the case. Strange to say, this is the first time I have seen Gao Jianyang dressed up like this. In Surrey, it is common for the neighbors that he has braids and long hair, but foreigners' things are rare.
very."
Yuan Su felt a little enlightened. It could be seen that Gao Jianyang dressed like this on purpose, but what his real intention was was not known for a while.
When everyone walked into the front hall one after another, Yuan Su and Wang Li stood up to greet them. Yuan Su introduced himself first. Except for two of the eight gentry sons who had met during the funeral of the Zhang family, the rest were meeting them for the first time.
After that, he introduced Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang, and explained their future status in the Supervisory Training Office. They were commissioners directly assigned by the army to the Supervisory Training Office, and would be fully responsible for the military affairs of the Supervisory Training Office.
These gentry sons behaved quite decently. After listening to Yuan Su's introduction, everyone greeted Yuan Su politely and then greeted Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang.
After the pleasantries were over, Yuan Su asked everyone to take a seat. The gentry disciples were polite and modest to each other for a while, and then they each found a suitable seat to sit down.
Yuan Su first said some words of encouragement to everyone, and then directly changed the topic to the main topic without waiting for everyone's reply.
"I have convened you for a meeting today. Firstly, I hope to get to know each other before the Supervisory Training Office is officially launched. Secondly, I have some related official matters that I want to discuss with you. You are all children of the same family, and there are many neighbors in the neighborhood.
I am familiar with him, and I have just introduced him to him. I hope that in the future you can work together, unite and cooperate, and do your part to protect Luanzhou's public security."
After everyone listened, they each said a few words.
"As soon as the Supervisory Training Office is fully equipped, we only need to recruit people to join the camp and organize training. There are no big problems at the moment, but there are some small problems that require some effort. Today is the first day of recruitment, and there are many people who responded.
Originally this was a good thing, but based on this scale, I am afraid that the number of applicants in the next few days will greatly exceed our expectations. It is not that we are unwilling to accept so many people's applications, but that the Supervisory Training Office has limited supplies. If the number of people is too large,
I'm afraid it will be unsustainable." Yuan Su continued.
The sons of the gentry present immediately whispered to each other and discussed for a while, and some couldn't help but put forward suggestions immediately:
"This is just a minor problem. Since there are so many people, we can stop recruiting after we have reached the expected number of people."
"Yeah, yeah, it's not a problem at all."
"If that doesn't work, Mr. Yuan can call on the Luanzhou gentry and bureaucrats to donate a sum of materials and expand the size of the militia. If there are not too many soldiers, the more the better."
After listening to these people's suggestions, Yuan Su just smiled and nodded without saying anything.
At this moment, Gao Shun, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes, waited for everyone to finish speaking, and then said politely: "In my humble opinion, too many applicants is not a big problem. On the contrary, it is a good thing. If
Mr. Yuan intends to control the number of recruits. He can first collect the information of all applicants and then conduct a series of selections, such as age, physique, physical health, etc. As the art of war goes, soldiers are more valuable than fine ones.
There are many, even the militia should hone its elite."
Although his tone was gentle and unhurried when he spoke, his posture when speaking seemed a bit reserved, as if he was a very introverted person.
After Yuan Su heard these words, the smile on his face immediately turned into a laugh. He nodded in approval and said: "Brother Jianyang's words are very true and they are exactly what I want. Then I will simply follow Brother Jianyang's suggestion."
.”
Gao Jianyang bowed modestly and said, "I'm just talking casually. Everything is decided by Mr. Yuan."
Yuan Su found that Gao Shun was indeed as humble and respectful as Wang Litong said, but he also found that he lacked the spirit of a man. Not only that, he was still speculating on why he was wearing a suit. But these are all
It wasn't a big deal. After all, everyone had different personalities. He thought Gao Shun was a person with many principles.
Then, he began to discuss the next matter, which was the content of militia training and team formation.
These things had an outline earlier, so the subsequent discussion was not too difficult. Everyone expressed their opinions according to the established framework, and a complete plan was quickly determined. In terms of training content, Yuan Su appointed Ge Jinzhang as the head coach.
He serves as a daily supervisor, and he also personally demonstrates some simple and useful exercises, such as sit-ups, push-ups, frog jumps, etc.
As for the establishment of the militia team, it is a little tricky. After all, there are still many undetermined situations. I am not sure that the number of militiamen in each township and village will be even by then. I am afraid that I will pay attention to one thing at the expense of another. But since it is a joint defense, it should naturally be
The key to joining forces for defense is to persuade all militiamen to obey the arrangements.
In this regard, Yuan Su appointed Guo Wenyuan as the general instructor and deacon of the Reference Office, and together with Gao Shun, deputy executive of the Reference Office, he was responsible for formulating relevant arrangements.
Guo Wenyuan made a suggestion on the spot. He believed that Luanzhou should be directly divided into several defense zones, and duty lists of militia teams and daily patrols should be compiled according to the defense zones. This would minimize the uneven situation and at the same time,
It can alleviate the conflicts between townships and towns. The only thing the Supervisory Training Office has to do is to carefully divide the defense areas so that densely populated towns and sparsely populated towns are well matched.
This method has been approved and supported by everyone. Many wealthy gentry in Luanzhou have some conflicts in their daily lives. Once the defense zones are divided, everyone can avoid infringement and save a lot of trouble.
However, Yuan Su feels that once the defense zone system is adopted, it is completely contrary to the original purpose of joint military-civilian defense. Everyone only evaluates their own defense zone. Should they just sit back and ignore the neighbors when they are in trouble?
