The whole ceremony was very simple. Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang first announced the successful conclusion of the first phase of militia training as chief instructors. Then Gao Shun, on behalf of the management of the training office, announced the list of outstanding militiamen during the first phase of training. Excellent Militiamen
They are divided into three categories: upper, middle, and lower. Three people are in the upper category, nine are in the middle, and twelve are in the lower category. They will be awarded five yuan, two yuan, and one yuan in cash respectively. All rewards will be cashed on the spot. Call out a name and come up to receive a sum.
money.
The militiamen who won the award were elated. Those who did not win the award had different ideas, but most of them didn't care too much. Everyone trained together every day, and the winning militiamen's attitude in daily training, discipline in life and how they behaved.
The methods are obvious to all, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.
At the end, it was Yuan Su's turn to come forward to give the graduation speech. Although he had prepared a speech yesterday, the speech did not contain much content. It was divided into three parts. The first was to express his gratitude to the militiamen for their ability to persist in completing the two-day speech.
He expressed congratulations on the three-month training, and also said some fierce words; secondly, he informed the Luanzhou Security Corps of the establishment of the news. This was just an informal notification verbally, and the purpose was to use these militiamen to spread the news first; finally
He hinted that the security corps will undergo an expansion. At that time, militiamen who have participated in training and received excellent evaluations will have the opportunity to be promoted to officers under exceptional circumstances.
When hinting at the expansion of the security corps, Yuan Su deliberately only said "promoting officers" and did not mention the recruitment of soldiers. He wanted to leave an impression on these militiamen that as long as they signed up to join the security corps, they would be
If you have the opportunity to become an officer directly, when the expansion begins, you will definitely get a wide response.
He is not worried at all that these people have the mentality of not being soldiers if they cannot become officers. Although joining the army is not a superior profession, and it does not have any sense of honor in this era, it is at least a stable iron rice bowl, with food, clothing, and clothing.
You can live in the country and get some salary every month. For many poor people who just want to make ends meet, joining the army is the best way out.
After the lecture, Guo Wenyuan solemnly announced the disbandment of the first phase of the militia.
Then, under the leadership of the team leader, each team walked to the main entrance of the small playground one after another in accordance with the order of daily drills. When they arrived at the main entrance of the small playground, the militiamen took off their rifles from their shoulders in a polite manner and handed them to those waiting here earlier.
In the hands of soldiers from the Supervisory Training Office.
The militia training has ended, and naturally weapons and ammunition cannot be taken out of the camp. As for the emergency equipment for each defense zone in the future, there is no way to arrange it at the moment. We can only wait for a while.
After handing over their rifles and bullets, the militiamen officially resumed their status as civilians. One by one, they ran or ran towards the gate of the camp, hoping to reunite with their relatives who came to greet them as soon as possible. Two months is not a long time,
It's short-lived, but after all, the Spring Festival has been delayed during this period, so I miss it more or less.
There are also some militiamen who have no relatives to greet them, so they can only say goodbye to their teammates at the same time, then quickly leave the training office and return home alone or in groups.
The militia teams left the small playground one after another, and the previously crowded small playground quickly became empty. After the last team left, Yuan Su, Guo Wenyuan and others walked down the podium one after another. Everyone asked Yuan Su to go to the Supervisory Training Office first.
After sitting in the front yard for a while, Yuan Su happened to want to learn about the arrangements for the second phase of militia training, so he followed everyone and walked to the front yard.
The several houses and halls in and out of the front yard are all used for official business. Only a few small rooms in the corners are dormitories. Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang lived here during their training. When they came to the small hall in the north of the yard, Guo Wenyuan ordered an orderly to go
Prepare tea, and then invite Yuan Su to sit down. After Yuan Su sits down, the others find a seat at random to sit down.
"How is the training arrangement for the second phase of the militia?" Yuan Su asked Guo Wenyuan.
"Notices were sent to every household at the end of last month. Tomorrow and the next two days will be the day to report to the camp. Training will officially begin on April 5." Guo Wenyuan said briefly.
"It's the beginning of spring now, and the farmland will probably get busy. The training at the Supervisory Training Office should be appropriately adjusted. I hope you all must adapt first." Yuan Su said.
"Please rest assured, Governor, we have already drawn up the training details for the second period and will submit them to the Governor for review later." At this time, Gao Shun took over the words and replied.
"That's not necessary. To be honest, although I am the governor of the militia of the Supervisory Training Office, apart from leading the team for morning runs every day, the coaching matters are not as practical as what you guys understand. Since it is the detailed rules that you all drafted together,
I believe there will be no mistakes, just follow the original plan." Yuan Su said with a smile.
Gao Shun smiled modestly, and wanted to say a few more polite words, but he was really not good at polite words, and he didn't know how to speak when the words came to his mouth, so he had no choice but to say nothing more.
"Sir, the first phase of the militia has now successfully graduated and left camp. We have discussed the plan of zoned joint defense before, but now our firearms seem to be insufficient. If something bad happens again during this period, I'm afraid there will be
You have to deal with it." Ge Jinzhang suggested, his tone seemed very restrained, as if he wanted to express the matter more tactfully.
Yuan Su understood what Ge Jinzhang meant. Since it was for civil defense, it would naturally play a role in civil defense. Although nothing bad might happen in the future, and even if something bad did happen, it might not be a big deal, but joint military-civilian defense
The purpose of the plan is to prevent problems before they occur, and there should be no ambiguity in preventive preparations like this.
"The five hundred guns at the Supervisory Training Office must be reserved for the second period of militia training. The first period of militiamen cannot do without prepared weapons. Don't worry, I will handle this matter as soon as possible."
Nodding his head, he said slowly.
"Master Lao is still worried about this matter." Ge Jinzhang said again, but at this time his expression seemed a bit heavy, and his eyes looking at Yuan Su also had a serious look.
Yuan Su was slightly startled, vaguely feeling that there seemed to be something in Ge Jinzhang's words.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly understood what Ge Jinzhang meant. The "bad things" Ge Jinzhang was thinking about should refer to the servants who had been punished by Beijing. Obviously, the Supervisory Training Office heard that the Biao Department received yesterday
According to the content of the telegram sent from Zhili, everyone was worried about this matter. Ge Jinzhang just wanted to use the civil defense incident to test his own reaction.
"No matter what, you have worked really hard. We have just finished the first training period, and will soon start the second training period. The militiamen still have a day off, but you must stick to your posts as always. Yuan thanked you all
." He deliberately changed the topic. He didn't want to mention this matter at this time. Nothing is known yet, and everything he could say was speculation, and it would be useless to say it.
Ge Jinzhang didn't know whether Yuan Su didn't understand what he meant or was deliberately pretending not to understand, but he had no other words to say for the moment, so he had to subconsciously glance at Guo Wenyuan aside. Not only did Guo Wenyuan's face change slightly, but
Even the gentry and gentry from different tribes showed different expressions, some were thoughtful, some were doubtful, or some were anxious.
The small hall fell into a suppressed silence. However, after a while, Guo Wenyuan took a deep breath, his face looked very serious, and asked Yuan Su in a serious tone: "Master Yuan, I heard that the superiors are already investigating us.
Yes. When we were willing to follow Mr. Yuan in your career, we naturally made all kinds of expectations. No matter what, we will continue to support Mr. Yuan. However, I hope Mr. Yuan can give you some advice on the current situation.
How, what should we do next?”
Yuan Su did not expect that Guo Wenyuan would ask these questions directly in front of so many gentry children. However, he did not complain about Guo Wenyuan's recklessness. It was obvious that if he left Twenty Towns and stayed in Luanzhou, any future actions would have negative consequences for all classes in Luanzhou.
Of course, these gentry sons wanted to understand the situation in advance.
He could even deduce that the news of the telegram received at Biaobu Courtyard yesterday was brought to the Supervisory Training Office by these gentry sons. He also understood the thoughts of Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang. The security regiment would take root in Luanzhou and would be indispensable in the future.
If you want to deal with these gentry class, even this matter will be explained sooner or later. Simply save unnecessary secrets and let everyone get together and ask the reason, so that everyone can have a clear understanding in their hearts.
end.
To be honest, he didn't want to be secretive either, but he couldn't even tell himself about the matter, so how could he explain it to everyone? But since Guo Wenyuan asked such a direct question, he still had to say something anyway.
"Bo Ji, Zhong Wen, Brother Jianyang and several other brothers, you support Yuan's wishes. Yuan is very grateful. I know very well that everyone is worried now, but there is no need to do so. The telegram sent by Governor Zhang is
My uncle is indeed a little angry, but he is just urging me to return to Beijing as soon as possible. If this matter cannot be dealt with, the worst result is that I leave Luanzhou. At that time, I will recommend Chen Gongtai to take over as the head of the Security Corps.
Commander, nothing else will change."
"Sir, if you leave, what will we do? Although Master Chen can take your place, he... Well, in short, isn't there any other way?" Ge Jinzhang was the most impatient. When he heard that Yuan Su might
As I walked away, I suddenly felt worried.
Fortunately, when he talked about Chen Wennian, he quickly woke up and promptly swallowed the following sentence "But he can't take over your position." The reason why he was worried, besides this, was more importantly, that he
I have already convinced Yuan Su as a leader.
"Yes, sir, if you leave, our security team will definitely disband. At that time, we will have no choice but to pack up and leave the country and return to the 79th mark. No matter what, you have to stay." Guo Wenyuan quickly followed.
"You don't need to be so pretentious. On the one hand, things have not been finalized yet, and on the other hand, it would not be a bad thing for me to return to Beijing. Even if my uncle is angry again, it will only be temporary. After a while, I may be able to find another person in Beijing.
Looking for a job. As the saying goes, there are people in the Taoist court who are good at becoming officials. I have met you all, and I will definitely take more care of Luanzhou in the future in the central government." Yuan Su said with a smile. He knew that these people were very worried now, so he
I just said something to reassure everyone.
These words may not be true. If this matter cannot be dealt with after all, he will have no choice but to make this choice. I believe that Yuan Shikai still wants to have family ties to some extent, and at the worst, he will arrange a leisure job for him.
Telling the worst outcome will allow everyone to have an understanding, which can somewhat weaken some of the previous negative effects. For Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang, they naturally hope to succeed with Yuan Su. Although the current situation is not
As for the seriousness of losing one's head, once Yuan Su leaves, their future future will definitely not be guaranteed, so the two of them looked very dull, and they didn't know what to say.
After a while, Gao Shun asked: "Mr. Governor, can we help you now?"
Hearing Gao Shun's words, Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang reacted immediately. They both looked at Yuan Su, hoping that Yuan Su could tell them something for them to help. At this time, as long as they can contribute, it can be a comfort to everyone and everything.
.
Yuan Su still had a bit of a smile on his face and said in a very calm tone: "The most urgent thing is that you can do your best to do your job. This is the greatest help to me. You don't need to worry about other things. I will naturally take care of other things."
Arrangements. The second phase of training is about to begin, and the Supervisory Training Office will be completely dependent on your care for the next few days."
