The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 34

"I am the instructor of the first battalion, three companies and one platoon, Zhang Zhiqing." In a certain barracks, a young man in military uniform bowed politely, but immediately thought of something, and immediately stood upright with his hands down, "Because the guidance made the staff Insufficient, tonight I will be in charge of teaching the military discipline regulations of the third platoon and the second platoon."

Similar instructors also appeared in other barracks, holding the "Military Discipline Regulations" and explaining them to the soldiers one by one.These contents have been told to them by Zhu Linmi several times in the past few days, so that they can recite them by heart.

But facing the barracks full of big soldiers, the instructors who were born as scholars were still a little nervous.

These guides center on the disciples of Zodiac Zhou.Except for Hong Si, Chen Xiongfei and Xia Fuxian, who were able to fight and had the most flexible mind, more than 20 other scholars served as mentors.

In addition, Zhu Linmei selected a total of 31 students from the last time the Xuanjiao Office recruited students.After interviews, 18 of them went to the Xuanjiao Mansion, while the remaining 13 joined the Dragon Guard New Army as mentors.

To be honest, in order to persuade these ten people to join the army, Zhu Linmi still spent a lot of effort.However, the imperial court agreed to grant these civil servants ranks, plus a generous military salary, and they were finally tempted.

Most of them are passionate scholars who have a sense of responsibility to the country and the nation.Coupled with the fact that Confucians are naturally good at ideological work, Zhu Linmi just trained these people briefly, and they quickly became qualified ideological educators.

However, due to the small number of manpower, these instructors can only be assigned to the first level of the platoon, and they are all at the rank of sergeant, which is the same level as the platoon deputy.Temporarily, Ying Tianxiang will be responsible for the convening and management of all mentoring envoys.

Zhu Linmei's goal is to gradually add company and battalion-level instructors to form a complete military ideological education system when the manpower is sufficient in the future.The biggest difference between the modern army and the feudal army is not weapons and equipment, but people's ideology.

With ideals, a sense of mission, a sense of honor, and knowing why they are fighting, how can such a soldier fail to win against an enemy who is forced by his master's coercion or joins the war for money and women?
The main task of the instructor is to carry out ideological education and military policy propaganda for soldiers according to Zhu Linmi's training.

Ideals, a sense of mission, and a sense of honor will not appear out of thin air, they must be guided and educated by the outside world.Mentors are these guides.

The next day's training content is rest, straddle and other movements.

Due to the frequent additional training, the performance of the officers at this time was obviously higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and they began to share the training work. In fact, training others is also the best training for themselves.

Zhu Linmi still couldn't leave. After all, although Macedo and others had training experience under the standard system, many of their concepts were still a bit outdated in front of Zhu Linmi, and he needed to be reminded frequently.

At the end of the day's practice, Zhu Linmi returned to the general camp and found that Hong Si, Tian Zhuangfei and others were already waiting there.

After saluting, Hong Si reported: "Your Highness... Oh, Commander, "Blood Splattered in Yangzhou" has been written, please have a look."

Tian Zhuangfei immediately presented a stack of manuscripts, which was exactly the play about Shi Kefa's martyrdom against the Qing Dynasty that Zhu Linming ordered them to complete a few days ago.

To say that these four newly-promoted chief writers of the Missionary Office really worked hard enough, and it took less than five days to write a brand new opera play from scratch.A few people almost didn't sleep much at all.

Although Zhu Linmi doesn't understand many libretto, the basic storyline is fine.The whole play starts from Shi Kefa's persuasion to Gao Jie's North Discussion until the end of the Yangzhou Ten Days Tragedy.

When he saw "Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, two traitors transferred the main force of the Ming army to the upper river, leaving Yangzhou with an empty camp thousands of miles away. Shi Kefa had only [-] soldiers. Facing tens of thousands of Qing troops besieging the city, the situation was in dire straits. Once Yangzhou was lost, the capital There is no danger to defend Nanjing." During this period, I suddenly remembered those classic lines in the movie "Peach Blossom Fan".

So he picked up a pen and added a few lines to Shi Kefa's Yangzhou swearing-in. "'When the Qing soldiers entered the customs, they were like a broken bamboo. The big officials who sealed off the frontier would either flee or surrender. Although Yangzhou is small, we must leave a sense of righteousness between heaven and earth!' Shi Ge said, 'Listen to my orders. You 3000 One thousand people meet the enemy, one thousand defend inside, and one thousand patrol outside. If you are not good at battle, you will defend the city; if you are not good at defending the city, you will fight in the streets;

Hong Si, Tian Zhuangfei and the others saw these few short sentences, they felt the blood rushing to their heads, and their bodies were shaken violently. Swear to Yangzhou!
It took a while for Hong Siz to come back to his senses, and said sincerely: "These words, my lord, are really the finishing touch to the whole play."

Zhu Linmi felt ashamed, and secretly apologized to Comrade Kong Shangren, the author of "Peach Blossom Fan", quickly calmed down, and told Hong Si, "When the missionaries bring people back to Xuanjiao Mansion, copy this "Blood Splattered Yangzhou" to them , staged everywhere as soon as possible."

He took a few more sheets from the case, "The top one is the recruitment notice I just drew up, and let the missionaries read it after the play is over. The next few sheets are the plays you need to write next, mainly about the recent For the battle in Ganzhou, let the people know what happened on the front line and how the officers and soldiers fought to the death to clear the captives."

"Obey!" Hong Si and the others bowed and retreated.

All parts of Longnan have recently been like Chinese New Year.For a few days, local and foreign theater troupes or storytellers will perform for free everywhere.The common people, who have seldom watched a show in recent years, all surrounded the stage, which is no less than those idol concerts in later generations.

Wang Ke took the troupe to eight villages in five days and performed more than ten performances.Now the mission office has left a very good impression in the hearts of the people.

At this time, he was leading people to Heigou Village.In the past two days, the theater troupe he led has just completed "Blood Splattered in Yangzhou".

He has watched the play several times, but every time he watched it again, he was still very excited.

Almost all the villages in Heigou Village, rich or poor, high or low, gathered here. They had just watched another free show in Xuanjiao Mansion a few days ago, but they didn't expect to come again today.A huge red cloth was pulled up on the temporary stage, with a large line on it: Xuanjiao House Huimin Performance.

According to the procedure arranged by Zhu Linming, Wang Ke took the lead on the stage, read aloud some new policies of the imperial court, and then read about the major events happening across the country recently. Finally, under the expectant eyes of the villagers, he announced the beginning of the drama.

Hearing the name of the play, the villagers looked forward to it even more - this is a new play that has never been heard before!

Everyone soon understood that what was being sung in the play was the incident of Shi Kefa Shige guarding Yangzhou not long ago.
