Chapter 547 Preparations for the Ming military and civilians ([-])

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

On the pier at the foot of the lotus gate, Bai Shenbai and more than a dozen "progressive" people got off the boat.

It is said that since the establishment of the lotus stem gate, this primitive customs in the [-]th century, like the later generations, has gradually formed a lively market inside and outside the gate.

After all, there are goods and daily necessities, as well as food, vegetables, and population that need to be cleared every day, so the soldiers at the gates will naturally spend time on spot checks.In this way, tea stalls and sheds for cattle and horses naturally appeared behind the gate for people to rest.

Then gradually there were some small hotels and private houses, as well as fish pens and vegetable farms, and later, there were even fighters in the service industry such as half-closed doors.

However, after Master Bai and his party came to the gate today, they found that the inside and outside of the city gate had been controlled by the military, and all the idlers had disappeared.Instead, there are soldiers and a large number of migrant workers wearing indigo tanks, canvas shoes, holding various tools, and wearing straw hats with bald heads.

The bald migrant workers are busy at the moment.They quickly knocked down the houses one by one, and then pulled the wreckage away with a cart to clear the open space in front of the city gate.

The demolition of these illegal buildings is very fast, because most of them are temporary sheds built with grass and trees, and the best quality of them is nothing more than board houses with bricks and stones on the foundation.So the migrant workers only spent one morning bulldozing all the buildings inside and outside the gate.

When Bai Juren and the others came to the lotus stem to close the gate in the afternoon, the low city gate building had returned to its desolate scene when it was first built.Except for the wharf behind the customs, the rest of the land before and after the customs is a piece of white land.

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

Before this, the Ming court set up a guard at the gate and led officers and soldiers to guard it.But at the gate at this moment, the Ming soldiers carrying spears had disappeared, replaced by new-style soldiers wearing military uniforms of later generations and holding rifles.

The view from the tower is wide, and you can clearly see the small island that is about to fall into the flames of war on the opposite side.However, as far as the field of vision is concerned, except for a piece of tranquility, the naked eye cannot observe any atmosphere of war.Fortunately, viewing the scenery on the tower was originally a cutscene show. After a cursory view of Haojingao, and then overlooking the white land after demolition, Staff Officer Xiao, who was in charge of the reception, invited the gentlemen down the tower.

The observation group came here today, of course not to see how the migrant workers demolish the house.

For the upcoming war, "Military stage, political drama, showcasing hard and soft power, deterring indigenous elites" is the expected goal of the cross-country.

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

Since Guangdong is the next step, how to use the least costly method of propaganda to eliminate the indigenous will to resist, this war is an excellent opportunity.

Just like someone Cao went out to sea from Baietan to wipe out Liu Xiang before, and the people of Guangzhou knew that there was a Marshal Cao. This time, it was a more large-scale publicity activity.

As for the small Macau, if we only talk about it from the military level, there are many ways to get through the crowd in seconds.It's just that in that case, it would be a waste of this opportunity to show at the door of the house.

It is against this background that today's observation group and the war propaganda that recently appeared among the people in Guangzhou Prefecture came into being.All the people across the country hope that the natives who have the conditions will come to watch the war, so as to strengthen the unspoken hint to the people of Fujian and Guangdong - choose sides carefully, the future court will not be enough.

After coming down from the Guanlou, Staff Officer Xiao, with his seniority badge pinned to his chest and wearing an olive green regular lieutenant's uniform, smiled and motioned the visiting men to walk behind the Guanlou.

Xiao Qiqian, Staff Officer Xiao, was thin, fair and clean, with a cheerful face in dealing with people, quite the demeanor of receiving a manager.However, this person seems ordinary, but he is a genuine military officer born as a child. He is currently affiliated to the Army Staff Headquarters. He is the "son of the family" of the Army and has a bright future.

Speaking of which, the concept of "family birth" actually existed widely in all walks of life of the time-traveling forces as early as the development period of Yizhou.

As soon as I got a piece of land, I was ready to let go of my shoulders, planted fields for several years, and then went out to hang and beat all kinds of ghosts and ghosts. Soon, I discovered a cruel fact in daily production: there are no grassroots cadres.

The migrant workers who dig the soil and build the houses are sent by boats. These people can start work in three days, but there is a lack of foremen who can understand the blueprints of house construction in the crossing.

The clumsy young workers can also start cutting logs with woodworking machines after a week of training.However, the most lacking thing among the cross-travelers is the section chief and workshop director who can understand the process documents.

Grassroots cadres are the backbone of a regime.

If the Turkish Communist Party hadn't vigorously trained grassroots cadres during the Yan'an period, it would not have been so smooth to take over later.

This kind of difficulty, which is completely unexperienced in later generations, almost took the lives of ambitious cross-travelers. Why can't even find a contractor?Didn't it mean that there are so many college students to clean public toilets?

Nothing can be promoted without the backbone of the middle class, even the people who have infinite wealth and knowledge-the wealth they pile up in the warehouse 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 could only start from the beginning honestly, go all the way, and train grass-roots cadres by themselves.

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

In fact, the military has a greater need for junior officers than any other industry.There are only a few military talents who have traveled through time. It is impossible to train a modern army with an increasing number of people without educated and low-level officers.

Looking at those "future flowers and bones" who are still studying courses in military academies and elementary schools, the travelers who know that the long-distance water will not quench their thirst, so they have to pick up the ancient training method of "master leads apprentice".

From all walks of life, including the army, all traversers selected some adult natives in the early days, and brought them with them as accomplices and orderlies. They went to work during the day and made up lessons in person at night. With the first batch of quick social backbones of the time-traveling forces.

Staff Officer Xiao was also one of these people.

As one of the earliest orderlies around Han Xiaobo, commander of the army, Xiao Qiqian, who was born as a child, is the "student of the son of heaven" in the army.He not only has a strong foundation, but also has a strong learning ability. He has mastered many new military theories brought by the traversers in a short period of time.

This time he was sent to serve as the guide of the tour group, which is also the meaning of "upper" training.After all, there is no position of military attache stationed abroad. To improve the comprehensive ability of outstanding military officers, we must find some tasks for them to do in various aspects.

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

The field hospital is a unique product through the leading era.Compared with cannons and the army, many natives who don't understand the military are actually more likely to see the reality of an army in terms of logistics, and this is exactly the purpose of the observation group formed by the traversers.

In the [-]th century, the land was sparsely populated, and half a mile away from the gate, there were miscellaneous forests and bushes.Now that the vegetation has been cleared, the location of the field hospital is located here.

The entrance is first of all a neat green canvas tent and guards with live ammunition.

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

When Bai Shen understood that the master stepped into the "medical hall", he immediately noticed his feet.

The fine buffalo leather shoes Mr. Bai put on are like a layer of black felt.But it is cloth, but it is slightly shiny, as if tung oil has been applied to it.

Seeing Master Bai paying attention to his feet, Staff Officer Xiao beside him smiled slightly and said: "According to the regulations, in order to prevent insects and moisture, the ground of the temporary field hospital is first covered with a layer of lime, and then covered with cow felt. This thing is light and not heavy. It also has the function of preventing water and insects, because the thick paper is covered with a layer of asphalt produced in Yizhou."

"Hey, so this thing can go up to the roof?"

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

Staff Officer Xiao couldn't help but stick out his thumb: "Master Bai is brilliant! It's rainy and humid over there in Taiwan. The proper use of this thing is on the roof!"

Master Bai was full of smiles when he heard the words, and he said that Staff Officer Xiao was absurd, but he had already decided in his heart that he would buy a batch of cow felt and sell it in his own shop before talking about it.
Just as Master Bai was looking for a place to feed his family, the rest of the gentlemen were already wandering around in the big tent.

Since there is no official "pick-up" yet, only two male nurses in green robes and cotton masks are sorting out instruments and equipment in the tent.Even the masters couldn't understand the shiny instruments. The only things they could understand were probably the two mobile operating beds placed on the ground.

However, there is a saying that goes well: There is no book without a coincidence.

Just when the gentlemen were a little bored, the show came: a group of migrant workers ran over from the main road carrying a blood-stained worker, and they shouted loudly from afar: "Help me, doctor! Someone has been beaten with a rope!"

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

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

Seeing that the field hospital had successfully accepted a poor migrant worker, the gentlemen of the visiting group all became energetic.As activists, everyone has more or less heard of the ability of the genius doctor in Yizhou to disembowel him. Looking at the situation today, maybe we can see it with our own eyes?

The next moment, the curtain opened, and Dong Qiang, the director of Chikan Hospital, led a group of male and female students into the tent.
