Chapter 41 Righteousness

Su Chengyu looked at Hong Si beside him, "Hong Si is the deputy envoy of the Mission Mansion, acting for the daily affairs of the Mission Office. ”

Those present already had an understanding of the departmental structure of the mission office. The Mission Office has an ambassador who oversees the affairs of the Mission Office. A deputy envoy and an auxiliary envoy. A Chief Missionary Officer who is responsible for mission-related matters. There is a public opinion inspector, who is in charge of the chief writer and is also responsible for observing the opinions of the people on the missionary aspect. In addition, there is also a response officer who is responsible for the enemy's rumors and confusion.

"As for the chief mission officer, the public opinion officer, and the deputy envoy of the mission office, they are all temporarily vacant." Su Chengyu looked around at everyone, "In the future, I will choose the best from among you." I hope that you will be diligent and diligent so that the positions that are lacking in our mission can be filled as soon as possible. ”

He threw out the big cake, and the eyes below immediately became hot. For the officials of the Ming Dynasty, if they want to wait for a real shortage of promotion, they must have a lot of patience and luck, and now there is a real shortage waiting for themselves, which is simply a stepping step to arrive! If you don't try your best to behave well, you'll be sorry for the green smoke rising from the ancestral grave.

Subsequently, Su Chengyu motioned to Hong Si to read out the work arrangements of specific personnel.

To put it simply, the chief writer is responsible for compiling opera repertoire, storytelling and speeches, and the content is determined by Su Chengyu, which is mainly to publicize things related to the Ming Dynasty's War of Resistance against the Qing Dynasty. Then, missionaries led troupes or storytellers performed for free in various places what the chief writer had written, interspersed with propaganda about some imperial court policies and the like.

In short, a purpose is to use the people's favorite entertainment method to guide the trend of public opinion and promote public opinion that is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

The first piece arranged by Su Chengyu is to tell the story of Shi Kefa's sacrifice for the country. Hong Si took several chief writers to start writing on the same day.

These people were selected by Su Chengyu to be flexible and more receptive to new things, so they quickly put themselves into work. In less than an hour, Tian Zhuangfei had already come up with a very wonderful general outline.

Su Chengyu read it once, and was basically quite satisfied, put forward a few revisions, and instructed him to cooperate with this outline. He himself had to rush back to the barracks to give lessons to foreign officers, and Hong Si was in charge of the affairs of the mission office, reporting to him every day on the progress.

Before the dozen or so missionaries got the finished draft, Su Chengyu selected a fold of the repertoire of the late Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty from the previous repertoire and scripts, and asked them to take his artists on a free tour first. The first is to increase the popularity of the missionary office, and the second is to strengthen the people's sense of the invasion of the northern nomads that caused the Central Plains.

For a period of time after that, Su Chengyu had to spare half an hour every night to inquire about the situation in the mission house.

Everything was difficult at the beginning, especially for the missionaries who had dispersed to various villages, and it was the first time that they carried out this mode of propaganda work, and many problems arose in all aspects. Su Chengyu even asked Hong Si to send people to pretend to be ordinary people to understand the effect of propaganda, and then improve the propaganda methods according to the actual situation.

Today is the first day that Macedo took over the training with his foreign instructors.

The battalion instructor took a full circle around the school grounds. Although he has been accustomed to seeing the military uniforms of the Dragon Guard Army in recent days, at this time, the large group of people is gathered together, and the straight and capable military uniforms are even more neat and mighty, which makes him secretly admire in his heart, and even has the idea of copying back to Spain.

But when he saw a few soldiers with vegetables on their faces, he shook his head slightly, and said to Su Chengyu: "Lord Commander, to be honest, your soldiers are a little ...... Emaciated. "In fact, this is also the general situation of the Ming army at the moment, and the new army of Longwei has been far better than other Ming army units after recent days of cultivation.

Su Chengyu nodded, "It's really far from strong enough." However, I believe that with good food and proper exercise, they will soon change. ”

Then Macedo's gaze fell on the uneven queue again, and he frowned: "Their previous training situation is not optimistic." You can see that the spacing and platoon distance of the soldiers are quite arbitrary, and even the standing posture of this team is different from that of the other team. He paused, then continued, "But I'll train them according to your requirements. ”

Su Chengyu was not surprised at all by the training level of the soldiers, the current military system of the Ming Dynasty was that the officers trained their own soldiers, and there was no unified system for each faction. Even soldiers from the same barracks have uneven levels of training, and it is not surprising that they have different standing postures.

Macedo quickly entered the role, gathered all the soldiers together, and first announced the training plan, of course, it was basically the plan formulated by Su Chengyu according to the military knowledge of later generations.

The chief instructor first explained the importance of the queue, but apparently the soldiers did not listen much. Su Chengyu couldn't do anything about this, so he could only slowly and imperceptibly change it in the future.

The first day of training is very simple, it is to stand upright. But for the soldiers of the new army of Longwei, this is not simple, one by one almost like a recruit.

"Heels together. Tuck your abdomen and chest. Pastorere and Coelho went back and forth, correcting the soldiers' movements over and over again.

Fortunately, a few days ago, Su Chengyu opened a small stove for the officers of the Long Wei Army, and the officers were quite clear about the essentials of these actions.

"The head should be straight, the neck should be straight, the mouth should be closed, the jaw should be slightly closed, and the eyes should be level. Keep your legs straight, your arms down, and your fingers together......"

For the first time, these soldiers also knew that there was so much attention to just standing in place.

In fact, even these foreign instructors occasionally get some details wrong, after all, there are still many differences with the Spanish way of training. Su Chengyu had to stare at the side, reminding them from time to time.

After a long day of training, most of the soldiers were able to stand a little. But Su Chengyu knew that this was not enough, and they had to go through a lot of repetitive training to make these actions become their subconscious behaviors.

A horn sounded in the corner of the school grounds, a sign of the opening of the meal, which the soldiers had been familiar with for several days.

To say that since these soldiers arrived in Longnan, they really stretched their necks every day and waited for the meal. Su Chengyu's requirement is to eat a full meal, mainly fine grains, meat for lunch, and be willing to use oil even if there is no meat for dinner.

Although rice and some vegetables are distributed by the Ganzhou side, meat is definitely not allocated. In this way, it is a large expense to buy meat and vegetables every day.

But if you want the soldiers to have combat effectiveness, you must first eat well, Su Chengyu also feels that the current food standard is still too low, and his ideal state is that the whole army has two meals of meat a day and eats all fine grains.

After dinner, the officers were gathered in a corner of the school yard for intensive training, and were not disbanded until dusk. To be an officer, you naturally have to have a higher level of training than ordinary soldiers.

In the evening, the soldiers' barracks were filled with unexpected people. It's some readers.

After many days of training by Su Chengyu, these instructors finally ushered in their first mission after joining the Longwei New Army.
