While the Portuguese gentlemen were actively preparing for war, a group of Ming Dynasty gentlemen were doing the same thing as their French counterparts.

At the pier at the foot of the Lotus Stem Gate, Mr. Bai Shenbai and more than ten "progressive" people got off the boat.

It is said that since the Lotus Stem Gate was established, this original customs house in the 17th century, like later generations, gradually formed a lively market inside and outside the gate.

After all, goods and daily necessities, as well as grain, vegetables and people have to be cleared through the customs every day, so the soldiers on the gate will naturally spend time doing random inspections. In this way, there will naturally be tea for people waiting to rest behind the gate.

Stalls and sheds for cattle and horses.

Then gradually there were some small hotels and private houses, as well as fish farms and vegetable markets, and later, there were even fighter jets in the service industry such as half-open doors.

However, when Mr. Bai and his party arrived at the gate today, they found that the inside and outside of the city gate had been under military control, and all the idlers had disappeared. Instead, there were soldiers and a large number of soldiers wearing indigo horns and canvas shoes, holding various tools, and bald heads.

Migrant workers wearing straw hats.

The bald migrant workers were busy at the moment. They quickly knocked down the houses one by one, then pulled the remains away on carts and cleared the open space in front of the city gate.

The demolition speed of these illegal buildings is very fast, because most of them are temporary sheds built with vegetation, and the best quality among them is nothing more than a board house with a foundation of bricks and stones. Therefore, the migrant workers only spent one morning to demolish them.

All buildings inside and outside the border gate will be bulldozed.

When Bai Juren and others arrived at the Lotus Stem Gate in the afternoon, the low gate tower had returned to the desolate scene it had when it was first built. Except for the pier behind the gate, the rest of the land in front of and behind the gate was white.

.

Later, Bai Juren and the others, accompanied by several young officers, boarded the gate.

Before this, the Ming Dynasty had set up a general guard at the border gate and led officers and soldiers to guard it. But at the gate at this moment, the general and the Ming soldiers carrying long spears had disappeared. They were replaced by soldiers wearing later military uniforms and holding rifles.

New type of soldier.

The view from the tower is wide, and you can clearly see the small island opposite that is about to be engulfed in war. However, within the scope of the field of vision, except for the tranquility, no war atmosphere can be observed with the naked eye. Fortunately, the view from the tower is actually good.

It was just a cutscene. After a cursory view of Hao Jing O and then the white land after demolition, the receptionist, Staff Officer Xiao, invited the gentlemen to come down from the tower.

The observation group came here today, of course, not to see how the migrant workers carried out the demolition.

For the upcoming war, "building a military platform, performing political drama, displaying soft and hard power, and shocking the indigenous elites" is the expected goal of the Chuanchuan people.

People from the future understand the power of the word "propaganda" very well.

Since the next step is to focus on Guangdong, this war is an excellent opportunity to use propaganda as the least costly means to eliminate the indigenous people's will to resist.

Just like before when Cao Cao went out to sea from Baietan to annihilate Liu Xiang with great vigor, and from then on the people of Guangzhou knew about Marshal Cao, this time he was copying a cat and painting a tiger, and it was a larger-scale publicity activity.

As for the small Macau...if we talk about it from a military perspective, there are many ways to defeat the Travelers in seconds. But in that case, this opportunity to show off at home will be wasted.

Therefore, it is against this background that today's observation group and the war propaganda that have appeared among the people in Guangzhou Prefecture have recently appeared. People across the country hope that qualified indigenous people will come to watch the war, so that the people of Fujian and Guangdong can be strengthened. An unspoken hint - choose your side carefully, the court will not be able to support it in the future.

.............................

After coming down from the gate building, Staff Officer Xiao, who had a seniority badge on his chest and was wearing a regular olive green lieutenant uniform, smiled and motioned to the gentlemen in the visiting group to walk to the back of the gate.

Staff Officer Xiao Qiqian is thin, fair, and has a cheerful face when dealing with people, and he has the demeanor of a receptionist manager. However, this person may seem ordinary, but he is a genuine military officer who was born in a child. He is currently affiliated with the Army Staff Department and is the "family member" of the Army. "Have children", the future is boundless.

Speaking of which, the concept of "having children at home" has actually been widely used in all walks of life in the time-traveling forces as early as the pioneering period of Yizhou.

As soon as they got a piece of land, they were ready to work hard for a few years and then go out to fight all kinds of monsters and monsters. Soon they discovered a cruel fact in daily production: there are no grassroots cadres.

Migrant workers were sent by boat to dig out soil and build houses. These workers could start work in three days. However, there was a lack of foremans who could understand the house construction drawings.

A clumsy young worker can start cutting logs with a woodworking machine after a few weeks of training. However, the most lacking thing in the industry is a section leader and workshop director who can understand the process documents.

Grassroots cadres are the backbone of a political power.

If the Turkish Communist Party had not vigorously cultivated grassroots cadres during the Yan'an period, the subsequent takeover would not have been so smooth.

This kind of difficulty, which will never be experienced in later generations, almost killed the ambitious time-travelling people... What, they can't even find a contractor? Didn't they say that there are so many college students that they have to clean public toilets?

Nothing can be promoted without the backbone of the middle class, even those who possess endless wealth and knowledge - the wealth piled in their warehouses and the knowledge hidden in their brains lack a suitable talent chain to realize it.

In the end, some people who were slapped in the face by reality had no choice but to start from scratch, working hard and cultivating grassroots cadres step by step.

The grassroots cadres mentioned here naturally include the grassroots officers of the army.

In fact, compared to other industries, the military has a more urgent need for low-level officers. There are only a few military talents from time-to-time. To train a modern army with an increasing number of people, it is impossible to do without educated low-level officers. of.

Looking at those "future flowers and bones" who are still studying in military academies and elementary schools, the time-travelers who know that the distant water cannot quench the thirst of the near future have no choice but to pick up the ancient training method of "master leading apprentice".

Travelers from all walks of life, including the military, selected some adult natives in the early days and took them with them as personal followers and as orderlies. They went to work during the day and made up classes in person at night. They really worked hard and taught through words and deeds. With the first batch of instant social backbones of the time-traveling forces.

Officer Xiao is also one of these people.

As one of the earliest servicemen around Army Commander Han Xiaobo, Xiao Qiqian, who was born as a child, is the "Emperor's Disciple" in the Army. Not only does he have a strong foundation, he also has a rare ability to learn, and he has mastered many time-traveling skills in a short period of time. The new military theory that has come to the fore is an excellent staff-type talent - this is especially valuable in the current army full of reckless men.

This time, he was sent to serve as the guide for the visiting group, which also meant training from "above". After all, there is no position for military attachés stationed abroad. To improve the comprehensive capabilities of outstanding officers, they must find some comprehensive tasks for them to do.

.............................

The observation group passed through the city gate and returned to the Ming Dynasty side. After that, everyone walked north along the temporarily compacted cinder road for less than half a mile, and saw today's main target: the field hospital.

The field hospital is a unique product of the time when the Time Travelers were ahead of the times. Compared with artillery and the army, many indigenous people who do not understand military affairs can actually more easily see the reality of an army in terms of logistics, and this is the purpose of the Time Travelers’ observation group.

.

In the seventeenth century, the land was vast and sparsely populated. Originally, half a mile away from the gate, there were woods and shrubs. Now these vegetations have been cleared, and the field hospital is located here.

The first thing you see upon entering is a neat green canvas tent and armed guards.

The tents are very spacious, with about twenty seats in total, neatly divided into four squares by the lime lines at their feet. According to the custom of later generations, each tent has a large red cross pattern on a white background in front of the door.

When Mr. Bai Shenming stepped into the "Medical Clinic", the first thing he noticed was his feet.

Mr. Bai's fine buffalo leather shoes are currently stepping on a layer of black felt-like material. Although it may be called cloth, this material is slightly shiny, as if it has been smeared with tung oil.

Seeing Mr. Bai paying attention to his feet, Staff Officer Xiao next to him smiled slightly and said: "According to regulations, in order to prevent insects and moisture, the underground of the temporary field hospital is first paved with a layer of lime, and then covered with cow felt. This thing is light and very light.

It is said that it also has the function of waterproofing and insect-proofing, and the thick paper is covered with a layer of asphalt produced in Yizhou on both sides."

"Hey, so this thing can also be put on the roof?"

Mr. Bai is indeed in the grocery business. When he heard that cow felt was lightweight and waterproof, he immediately thought of other places.

Staff Officer Xiao couldn't help but raise his thumb: "Mr. Bai is smart! It's rainy and humid in Taiwan, so the real use of this thing is on the roof!"

Master Bai smiled all over his face when he heard this, and he said some ridiculous compliments about Staff Xiao. However, he had already decided in his heart that he would go back and bring in a batch of cow felts and put them in his shop to sell...

Just when Mr. Bai was looking for a way to make a living for his family, the other gentlemen were already wandering around in the big tent.

Since there has not yet been an official "reception" of guests, there are currently only two male nurses in green robes and cotton masks arranging instruments and equipment in the tent. Even the gentlemen who can see the shiny instruments cannot understand it. The only ones who can understand it are about

There are two mobile operating beds placed on the ground.

However, there is a saying that goes well: no coincidence can make a book.

Just when the gentlemen were getting a little bored, the show came on: a group of migrant workers ran across the road carrying a bloodstained worker, and shouted loudly from a distance: "Mr., doctor, help! Someone is being beaten with a rope!"

With this noise, the originally quiet field hospital suddenly boiled like a boiling pot of water and entered working mode.

Soon, several male nurses who heard the shouts rushed out of their respective tents, then hurriedly carried the injured person onto the bed cart and pushed him into the tent.

Seeing that the field hospital actually successfully admitted a poor migrant worker, the gentlemen in the visiting group became energetic. As activists, everyone had heard more or less about the ability of the Yizhou miracle doctor to disembowel the body. Today we saw

Can we see this formation with our own eyes?
