"The doctor will be sent there when the war starts. Now I will give you a few nurses and Chinese medicine practitioners to maintain basic health care. When you get there, health workers from the army and laborers should also be sent back."
After He Ping left, Shi Niaoren began to immerse himself in the table again, using unskilled skills to draw schematic diagrams on the board. His idea was to develop several sets of standard procedures for medical staff in training. He knew the quality of indigenous medical staff.
Poor education, poor education, and low receptive ability. So I want to use picture books to simplify the difficulty of education.
"Damn, this thing looks so spectacular!" Mei Wan looked at the steam engineering machinery produced in Lingao, slowly coming from a distance, blowing out black smoke and steam.
Rather than "driving", it is better to say that they are "crawling". The speed is so slow that you can hardly notice that they are moving. Even the continuous flow of cattle carts on the road are overtaking them one after another.
"Is it new equipment? I think it performs much better than the Meteor No. 1 locomotive." Although the support team led by Shan Daoqian used ox carts, they arrived a long way ahead of the construction machinery.
The road construction was fully entrusted to Shan Daoqian, who was recalled from Sanya. Shan Daoqian had completed the construction of the simple railway in Sanya. He entrusted Ji Runzhi with the construction of the highway in Sanya. All the design drawings had been completed.
Well, the engineering team building the road has also gained experience, and Ji Runzhi only needs to be responsible for supervising the progress of the project.
The renovation of Yi Road this time was almost a new attempt for Shan Daoqian - he did not use any modern construction machinery and relied entirely on local industrial support in Lingao. The machinery department manufactured several bulldozers and road rollers using Suichao steam engines.
.
The steam rollers and bulldozers using the principle of the pot camel machine were emitting steam and black smoke, and slowly climbed up the road from the industrial zone of Bairencheng at a speed of less than 3 kilometers per hour, followed by a group of workers and technicians.
There are also several oxcarts filled with spare parts and maintenance equipment. Although these steel monsters have poor performance, leaking air and smoking everywhere, and making strange creaking noises, these steel monsters twist and stagger.
The way they moved forward shocked the people along the road far beyond the more modern agricultural vehicles and jeeps.
But for Shan Daoqian, the reliability of these equipment was not good. Three steam-powered road rollers and bulldozers stopped and repaired and adjusted the mechanical equipment from time to time. It took almost 24 hours to reach the construction section.
But as soon as they reached the road section, the power of machinery was revealed. Although the steam engine equipment was inconvenient to use and kept breaking down, the efficiency was still much higher than that of human and animal power. Stone rollers pulled by oxen could not be compared with steam rollers.
.As for the bulldozers, although they can be used for less than six hours a day, the amount of earth moved is enough for a hundred people to work for a day.
Shan Daoqian set out to renovate the post road from Ma Niao to Chengmai. The first batch of army troops and militiamen that had been mobilized served as laborers while repairing the road towards Chengmai. As for Mei Wan himself, he presided over the construction of Ma Niao.
Niao base.
As an important salt production base of the Lingao regime, Ma Niao is located at the junction of Lingao and Chengmai. The Planning Institute originally planned to establish the local administrative agency Ma Niao Commune here to recruit some new immigrants and serve as the eastern part of the small crossroad plan.
Support point.
In the preparations for this anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, the Ma Niao Peninsula was once again put on the agenda as a target that needed to be defended. The work of building the city began immediately.
According to Mei Wan's original plan, Ma Niao built the city just to build a European-style bastion fortress, with a company stationed inside and a dozen artillery pieces to control the port and salt fields to ensure that the enemy could not cause damage in the area.
However, in the officially implemented plan, Ma Niao has become a fortress city. It is not only prepared to serve as an army base to station a considerable number of troops for a long time, but also to store a large amount of military supplies and have certain weapons repair and maintenance capabilities. The General Staff has prepared to
Magiaobao will be the main military base of the Army in the future, and the main force of the Army will be stationed here in the future. For this reason, a large area of training grounds and shooting ranges are also planned nearby.
According to He Ming's revised combat plan, all the army forces participating in the counter-encirclement and suppression operations: four infantry battalions, one artillery battalion and one engineering company will be concentrated in Majiao for training and replenishment to form a field army. Waiting for the Ming army to arrive in Qiong
After the mountain is assembled, we can set off for battle.
Although Majiao Fort was still under intense construction, He Ming, his staff team and most of the officers had already arrived at Majiao and set up a field army headquarters in the original gun building.
He Ming set up his headquarters in Maxiao to avoid the overly dense gathering of senators in Bairen and Bopu. Although he had already said hello in the Senate and would not receive any non-official senators, they could still find various reasons to come.
Everyone in the headquarters is very enthusiastic about making suggestions for future operations. Since the Senate no longer discusses this issue, it is more convenient to talk directly to the officers. Some people talk about strategy, and some people talk about strategy.
For tactical applications, there were also people who provided their own "new weapons" solutions. He Ming was so annoyed by such visitors that he simply moved the headquarters team to Ma Niao earlier.
Because of its special importance, Yanchang Village opened a wired telegraph system next to the gun tower very early. After He Ming came with the headquarters, the wired telegraph station was immediately expanded. Not only did it increase the number of telegraph operators, but also purchased some equipment, so that
It can effectively serve the army. Li Yunxing even sent a telecommunications engineer Hu Muye to Bairen's telecommunications bureau to take charge of equipment maintenance. He also brought a radio station as a backup
Hu Muye took the equipment and set off from Bairen on a slow ox cart. Also on the ox cart were He Ping from the Ministry of Health, Wu Shimang from Lingao Church, Yang He, the leader of the quarantine camp, and others. These people
The specific missions are different, but the goal is always the same - to prepare for the expected prisoners.
Several people chatted and talked along the way. They set off at dawn and arrived at Maxiao at almost noon. In the distance, they could hear the sound of drums and flutes, and white smoke and black smoke were lingering. From time to time, guns could be heard.
The roar of cannon.
On the flat training ground, groups of infantrymen were practicing in formation to the accompaniment of drums and flutes. The non-commissioned officers shouted commands in a long voice, and sometimes there were waves of shouts in unison: "Kill! Kill!"
Kill!" and shouts of "fire".
Around the unfinished earthen fortress of Maziao Fort, all the leeward and sunny slopes and mountain valleys are dotted with gray-white tents. Rows of artillery and vehicles are neatly parked in the open space. Field cooking trucks are filled with smoke. People wearing gray clothes
Lines of soldiers in uniforms carrying rifles on their shoulders passed by from time to time.
On the post road leading to Chengmai, groups of workers, soldiers and construction machinery are busy, and steam rollers emit bursts of black smoke from time to time. In the distance, people can be seen building a bridge over the river.
"We arrived at Heshe within a few kilometers. After Heshe, we reached Chengmai County." Wu Shimang knew a lot about the geography of Lingao because he needed to do missionary work.
"Now that our highway is built, the Chengmai County Magistrate will probably have a hard time. He will probably be like an ant on a hot pot."
"He can pretend to be deaf and dumb like Magistrate Wu, and then become a member of the CPPCC or something."
"Knowing that he is still a smart man pretending to be deaf and mute, he is afraid that he will not know whether to live or die. Then he will have to be sent to the West."
"So many cars!" He Ping suddenly exclaimed.
The oxcarts carrying grain, baggage, ammunition and building materials moved slowly one after another, forming a long line on the road, with no end in front and no end in sight. It looked very spectacular.
They usually know the power of industrial society, but seeing with their own eyes the tremendous power of the industrial society they created, everyone feels very excited.
The entire perimeter of the Majiao City construction site has been put under martial law. There are barbed wire fences, deer villages, surveillance towers and trenches everywhere. Their bullock cart was stopped by sentries as soon as it reached the turning point, and everyone's IDs and order documents were checked. He Ping looked at
In addition to the fixed sentries here, there are also small groups of mobile sentries patrolling everywhere. Seeing how heavily guarded the place was, He Ping felt a bit like he was about to face a battle.
They arrived at the headquarters easily. In He Ming's absence, Dongmen Chuiyu, the staff officer on duty, made arrangements one by one according to their intentions. As for the opening of a field hospital, Dongmen was of course very welcoming.
"There are no prisoners to treat you now, but there have been frequent drills recently, and some have been injured. The other thing is epidemic prevention. Thousands of people have arrived in such a small place. Although every company has
Hygienist, you can rest assured that your health department will send someone to take care of this."
"I'll check the camp first. Especially the toilets and drinking water. If they are done well, there won't be any large-scale epidemics."
"Okay, take a look first. The Ministry of Health has given us a centralized water purification station, and now it has been stipulated that all troops must go to the water purification station to get water."
At that moment, Dongmen Chuiyu took everyone to a camp. Several rows of simple houses had been set up here, and signs were hung at the door. These were the various departments assigned to Ma Niao to coordinate the work for this battle.
Represents a place of office accommodation.
He Ping's Ministry of Health office has been prepared. There is only a wooden bed and a folding table. There are no chairs so he can sit on the bed and work.
Dongmen Chuiyu said: "The conditions are poor, let's overcome them first. Ma Niao's hospital has just started construction, you can move there after it is completed."
"It's okay. I'll look around at the epidemic prevention situation first."
"Xie Shu!" Dongmen Chuiyu called out.
"Yes!" A young officer immediately came out from behind them and stood at attention and saluted. He Ping looked him up and down. He was probably in his early twenties, with dark skin, regular features, and shaved hair like all soldiers.
Short. He was wearing an army uniform with the rank of second lieutenant, but the sleeves were decorated with a red stripe representing staff. He was probably an indigenous trainee staff officer.
"Xie Shu is a trainee staff officer and is in charge of logistics. Let him accompany you." Then he ordered, "Take the comrade special commissioner to check the health security situation!"
"Understood!" Xie Shu asked in a strong voice, "Chief, where are you going to inspect first?"
"Let's start with the water station."
He first looked at the water purification station. He recognized the health worker in charge of the water purification station. He had just graduated from the health worker training class of the Ministry of Health a few months ago. His name was Niu Yutian. He fled from the mainland to Linzhou three months ago.
Gao Laide was fifteen or sixteen years old, very fair-looking, and spoke in a soft voice. When he was assigned, the staff thought he was too delicate, so he was assigned to the health clinic as a hygienist. The hygienist is on the sleeve of his uniform.
Wearing a white armband, printed on it is the health department's logo: a blue snake wrapped around a wooden staff.
He Ping asked about the status of the water purification station. He learned that the mobile water purification equipment used by the army was recently shipped. The water is filtered with fine sand and activated carbon, and then bleaching powder is added for disinfection. Drinking water also needs to be added.
Boiling procedures. The entire water supply station can be disassembled and pulled by livestock. It is very convenient to use. He Ping checked the condition of the equipment, and checked whether the activated carbon and sand had been installed and replaced correctly. He also checked the record of adding bleaching powder.
After looking at it, he thought that there was no problem with the water station itself, but the water supply was insufficient. Especially when he found that the water station had no pumping equipment and relied entirely on manpower to carry water. This supply could barely guarantee the daily training of the field army.
.It will be difficult to supply supplies during the march.
"This set of equipment is battalion-level field water supply equipment." Xie Shu said, "It is not enough to supply so many troops."
He Ping knew that most of these were samples from the mechanical department and were used for experiments. He secretly said that this was random. According to the current size of Ma Niao's garrison and population, it was appropriate to set up a water plant.
"Let's go check out the camp."
The various units of the field army were stationed separately in units of battalions and companies. There were deer villages around each station. Small bunkers were stacked with stones at the entrances of the camps one behind the other, with shooting openings. Each bunker could accommodate up to
Three people stand guard and shoot. When encountering a surprise attack, they can resist for a while and buy time for the troops to assemble.
The rows of military tents in the camp are neatly set up. There is an open space in front of the gate that has been leveled for roll call. The roads in the camp are regular and cleaned very neatly. All kinds of vehicles and utensils are placed there.
Category: Each camp has toilets set up according to the number of soldiers and disinfectants are prepared.
The soldiers had gone out for military training, leaving only a few cooks and support staff guarding the camp. When they saw the chiefs coming to inspect, everyone stood up and stood neatly side by side to salute them silently.
Even a layman like He Ping could tell that the military camp was highly disciplined and the soldiers were well-trained. He couldn't help but admire: "These troops are so well-trained."
"This is all due to the good training of the leaders." Xie Shu said.
To He Ping, this sounded like a bit of flattery. He couldn't help but glance at the young officer and saw that he had a calm face and an extremely sincere demeanor, which didn't seem to be flattering.
"Oh, this Australian method of running the army has not been used in real battles. How do you think it compares with the Ming Dynasty's border troops?"
Xie Shu said seriously: "Just these four words of 'orders and prohibitions' are far superior to all the armies of the Ming Dynasty."
Discipline is indeed one of the biggest differences between the modern army and the ancient army. The young officer did not talk about the huge firearm advantage of the time travellers, which would shock the natives the most. He first talked about discipline, which made He Ping look at it differently. He couldn't help but become interested:
"I also heard that the discipline of the army is not good——"
"No, when I say orders and prohibitions, I don't mean the discipline of the people is good or bad, but the leader can train the troops to move forward and retreat as freely as the limbs."
He Ping nodded, feeling that his knowledge was not bad. He couldn't help but become interested in him.
"Where are you from?"
"I am from Tongchuan, Shaanxi."
"You are from the frontier army, right?" He Pingyi heard that he was from Shaanxi. He thought that there were very few people from the north here, and most of them were deserters from the army.
"No." Xie Shu said with a smile, "My family was originally a small grain farmer, and my father was a scholar. In the year of Tianqi, there were rogue bandits in my hometown, and I couldn't stay there any longer. The rogue bandits and the army took turns to cause havoc. The family had no choice but to flee to the Central Plains. I
Dad said that the Central Plains was the land of the Four Wars and he couldn’t wait, so he ran south and reached Guangdong as soon as he ran.”
"Why are we here in Lingao again?"
"My family made a living by doing some small business along the coast. Not to mention the government extortion, in the end the ship was robbed by the sea owner. My father was angry and said: 'Everywhere we go we are bullied by thieves and officials, so why don't we become thieves too?
Gone." When Xie Shu said this, he suddenly realized that he was scolding the leaders as thieves and quickly stopped talking.
He Ping smiled: "We are indeed thieves, we are thieves."
"The actions of the chiefs, let alone the sea lords and bandits, even the Ming Dynasty are not as good as one out of ten." Xie Shu said, "I used to be a good soldier at home."
I have read many "New Books", and the one I admire the most is Qi Shaobao. I have also thought about how to train a strong army. Only when I was in the Fubo Army did I realize that what I was thinking..." He didn't say any more, only shook his head.
Lower your head.
He Ping found it very refreshing. Most of the indigenous officers, soldiers, administrators and students he met were taken in, and all of them were either bitter and resentful, or desperate. His gratitude and admiration for the time travelers came from the bottom of his heart. But Xie Shu's "
"Adoration" has no flavor of "gratitude", nor does it have the bitterness of hatred. He talks about his own family affairs with a bit of ridicule.
Moreover, this young man's speech and attitude were completely different from those of the natives. If it weren't for his strange Mandarin, He Ping would have thought that he was an unknown elder.
"If you follow us as thieves, aren't you afraid of being wiped out by the army?" He Ping asked deliberately.
"The government can't even wipe out the bandits in our hometown," Xie Shu said with a smile. "In the war with the Donglu, we lost more than we won. It's even more delusional to defeat Fubo's army."
"There is a dressing room under the hillside over there." Xie Shu asked, "Does the chief want to take a look?"
"Of course I want to go." He Ping asked, "Why has a dressing center already been opened?"
