Chapter 157
After the discussion, all the work in the mansion was fully launched. After completing the supplement, the troops went to the garrisons of various prefectures and counties. They not only undertake combat training and intimidation of the local area, but also cooperated with the local area to open up the island-round post road. Qiongzhou has become a large construction site. Based on the principle of "work first and then live", the first thing to be invested in the construction was Baisha Shuiying, and the work of relocation and construction of Haikou to Tianjin and port was also carried out at the same time. At the same time, it is necessary to build a series of defense facilities to be put into use as soon as possible.
Zhao Bing knew very well that he didn't have much time left for himself. Now he had to take advantage of the opportunity when the enemy had no time to look south in the north to complete the war preparations. Hainan Island is the most tropical marine climate-specific place in my country. It is warm and hot all year round, with abundant rainfall, obvious dry and wet seasons, and drought in winter and spring. The dry season starts from November to April and May of the following year, and it lasts for six to air months. Five to October is the rainy season, among which the rainfall is the most abundant in August and September, and heavy rains occur, and typhoons often attack.
In history, the war invading Hainan often chose to be in the dry season, so the construction of the defense line must be basically completed within a limited period of several months. In this way, the recruited civilians must be insufficient, and the army must also undertake training and security tasks, which a conflict arises. After several discussions, the officials adopted Zhao Bing's suggestion - implementing the "three-three system", which means that one-third of the army is responsible for the security, one-third of the army conducts training, and one-third of the army is put into construction, and there is no delay in the process of rotation every month.
Of course, there are exceptions, that is, the teaching team of the General Office. They undertake the training of professional and technical arms and grassroots officers in each army. They hold an issue every three months, training 800 students of all types in each period, and strive to complete the rotation training of all officers below the command and the training of professional and technical personnel of various arms by the end of the year, and select outstanding talents as reserve officers in order to play a role in the war. Zhao Bing also demanded that the officers above the command and command were held to start a short-term training class, and talk to them about the ways to lead troops, strategies and tactics, and improve the command ability of leading troops...
In addition to daily official duties, Zhao Bing's main energy is now focused on the reorganization of the Fighting Army and the transformation of the turtle ship. Since the Fighting Army's team is the old army of the Song army, although it has some combat effectiveness, it is inevitable to be infected with bad habits such as disarray of military discipline, deceive the superiors and conceal the subordinates, and deduct military pay. Zhao Bing replaced the former commander of the Fighting Army to cut off their connection with the old army. The new commander Chen Renweng was born in a scholarly family, young, educated, and vigorous, and easy to accept new things. Although he has already been in the officialdom, he has not yet rolled in the big dye vat of the officialdom. His thoughts are relatively simple, competitive, and he is determined to do something for the country and the people. He can use him to change the style of a single army.
The reason why Zhao Bing chose the Battle Army and the Brave Army as the team for building a new army was that, both armies had practical experience and were equipped with grassroots officers, which facilitated the formation of combat effectiveness; the other was that both armies had naval forces, although they were gradually declining, but had a deep accumulation of foundations over a century of years. However, if they wanted to build the Battle Army into a benchmark for the entire army, they still had to make efforts to transform them.
Chen Renweng was appointed as the commander of the Defighting Army by the prince, so he was naturally determined to do something big. He knew that everything he had came from His Highness, and he also went to the mansion several times to ask for face-to-face advice. But when he came down twice, he found that His Highness was really not an ordinary person, he was simply a monster. The methods of persuasion were endless, and he felt like he was on a pirate ship. But he still agreed with His Highness: In extraordinary times, extraordinary means must be used, and he had to apply severe medicine to cure evil diseases.
In fact, Zhao Bing's method is not an innovation. He combined some of the military's service regulations in later generations with the management methods in enterprises, and formulated a set of management methods that can be called "hard" to restrain their behavior, improve their combat skills, and inspire their courage. He knew that people actually have potential, and sometimes they had to force them. For example, he used all kinds of methods to live, which can be said to be good and evil. He racked his brains and had all the mechanisms. In his previous life, he would rather stay alone on the broken ship and wait for death than try to break through the invisible barrier.
For this reason, the camp chosen by Zhao Bing for the Chaofeng Army was also very unique. It was an uninhabited island affiliated to Qiongshan County. The food and use of food must be transported from the outside world. The fresh water on the island was only barely enough to drink. If you want to run away, don’t think about it unless you have the ability to fish. He has already told the soldiers on the island that the treatment of the new Chaofeng Army is the highest, not only can you eat enough, but also eat well and do well. But if you don’t raise waste here, they will only need two thousand people, or even fewer. There are only two ways for those who do not meet the standards - either die or go to the hard labor camp, and there is no other way!
Of course, it is not enough to rely on improving treatment and high pressure, soft and hard, and the cultivation of a sense of honor is also necessary. Zhao Bing knew that an army without a sense of honor has no soul, but the cultivation of a sense of honor needs to start from bit by bit. Then he and Chen Zeweng had several discussions and formulated a set of plans. For example, a single soldier who was outstanding in a certain training can give him an extra bucket of water, and a collective collective reward with outstanding performance can be given a chance to leave the island. As the sense of honor penetrates, material can be turned into spiritual rewards, which can be a unique flag of honor, a medal, or even a symbol. In the end, the purpose of honor being better than life.
As for whether it works or not, Zhao Bing knew that no matter how bad people were, they would have self-esteem, and hoped to be respected by others and recognized by everyone. In the army in his previous life, some soldiers could break their legs for one praise; they could sacrifice their lives for a military medal; and for collective honor, the entire company fought to the death and died in the face of a strong enemy, and there were countless examples of all sacrifices; and a country could fight for an inch of land and fight for its own difficulties, and a nation did not hesitate to fight for its own difficulties for its own dignity. I don’t know how many times have been staged in the long river of history.
