Chapter 1078 Returning Home with Joy
The messenger sent Qubing's order down level by level, and the corresponding military commanders and instructors immediately came to the headquarters with thick combat reports for a meeting.
The instructor is a leader of the political commissar system, but the Han tribe does not call it a political commissar, but a military Sima. The Sima is only assigned to the lowest level of the guard. The instructors are also responsible for logistics, the ideological status of the soldiers, and the evaluation of the soldiers.
After everyone arrived, Qubing got straight to the point.
"The leader has given the order. Our Shen Ce Guards have been on the Northern Expedition for more than a year and have just returned. The next period of time will mainly be for rest and recuperation, so after the soldiers' merits are evaluated this time, they will start to take turns to rest and have holidays.
"According to the leader, the Shen Ce Guards will have two rounds of holidays. The first round will give holidays to the soldiers in the south, including the soldiers in Takuhai County and the three counties of Honghu in the grassland. However, the soldiers in the south account for less than half of the number of the Shen Ce Guards. Therefore, some soldiers from the eight counties of Hanyang will be selected in the first round. Those who have situations at home can apply for it actively. In addition, those who have made merits will be given priority.
"Finally, before the holiday, we must first complete the work of selecting the soldiers' merits, so that those soldiers who have made merits can go home in glory.
"After the first batch of soldiers go on vacation, the remaining half cannot be idle. We have been on the ship for more than a month. Now that we come back, we must resume the training tasks as soon as possible so that the combat effectiveness of the Shen Ce Guards will not be reduced. Do you all understand?"
"Understood. "Everyone bowed their hands in agreement after hearing this.
"Okay, this is the new merit selection system that the leader has specially formulated for the Shen Ce Guard. It is roughly divided into four levels and eight grades of merit. If you don't understand, you can ask me, and then we can discuss it on the spot, and we will complete this work at this meeting." Qubing asked the orderly to distribute the copied selection criteria to everyone present, and then he said this.
After everyone got the new selection criteria, they immediately discussed and asked questions. When they encountered something they didn't understand, Qubing took the initiative to explain it to them.
The result of the final discussion was similar to what Qubing had said to Luo Chong at the wine table before.
During this Northern Expedition, the Shen Ce Guard was divided into several battlefields for action, and the first, second, and third battalions were used separately. Among them, the second battalion did not capture the most people, but the second battalion was the battalion that acted the most independently. Qubing always led the first and third battalions himself.
Especially during the time when the second battalion was guarding the salt pond position, the second battalion used strategies to fight tug-of-war with the cannibals many times, turning the salt pond into The bait constantly consumed the enemy's manpower, and a total of more than five times the enemy was eliminated. Although the five times added up to only a few thousand people, they already had the ability to stand on their own.
In addition, when the Second Battalion accepted the unified dispatch task from Qubing, the Second Battalion completed the task as well as the other two battalions, so the Second Battalion's contribution was relatively large, and the other two battalions had to admit it.
Finally, the Second Battalion Commander who proposed to use the salt pond as bait to fight a tug-of-war was awarded a great merit, at least a first-class merit. All the soldiers of the Second Battalion were awarded a collective second-class merit. In all the previous sneak attacks, the soldiers or squad leaders who participated in the tasks of penetration, encirclement, and sentry were all awarded a personal second-class merit.
With these two second-class merits as a foundation, the entire Second Battalion There will definitely be no problem in getting promoted to a higher rank. This is also the highest level of merit that the Shen Ce Guard can decide on internally. Any merit above the second-class merit must be reported to Luo Chong for Luo Chong to decide. For example, the second battalion commander’s first-class merit needs to be reported to Luo Chong for Luo Chong to approve.
The remaining first and second battalions also have their own merits, including escorting prisoners back to the camp, transporting food, fodder and ammunition, defending positions, and raiding the enemy at night under the leadership of Qu Bing.
These tasks are relatively simple, but the number of tasks is large, so even if it is the lowest level of collective third-class merit, these soldiers have at least four. As long as they have four collective third-class merits, they can at least be promoted to a higher rank.
Like those The small units and individuals who participated in reconnaissance, leading the way, and scouting behind enemy lines also received their own second-class and third-class merits.
As for Qubing himself, he didn't need to give himself any meritorious titles. He was already the highest commander, so why did he need any merit? Anyway, the Shen Ce Guard won the battle under his leadership, and he also completed the strategic tasks assigned by the leader and captured so many slaves. With these achievements, what else did he want?
The merit of the entire Shen Ce Guard was the merit of Qubing. In fact, this is also a common practice in the army. If subordinates do something meritorious, the credit should of course be attributed to the commander.
After all, when it comes to discussing this matter, others can only talk about it.
'So-and-so assassinated a general of the enemy!'
'Who is that? So awesome?!'
'So-and-so's soldiers did it!'
After all, there are so many people in the army, how can others remember the names of every soldier? So it is definitely correct to call them the subordinates of a certain commander.
If such a thing really happens, others will only say, "Wow, so-and-so's soldiers are awesome, amazing! "
However, this kind of thing seems to make it seem like the commander has taken away the credit from his subordinates. In fact, it won't happen. As long as this person has really made great contributions, he will definitely be given priority for the next promotion. Therefore, if a person is really capable, as long as he can make contributions, he will definitely be promoted quickly. By then, he will be the commander himself. The next time his soldiers do something, others will also talk about how the new commander's soldiers are.
This merit evaluation meeting lasted for a full half day, and even lunch was delivered to the meeting room by the orderly. Finally, the issue of merit evaluation was finalized. In this Northern Expedition, all the living soldiers of the Shen Ce Guard can accumulate merits and be promoted to one level, and those with great merits can even be promoted to two levels.
It is impossible to be promoted to three levels of nobility. At most, the issue of how many generations the nobility can be inherited can be increased. For example, if the merit is too great, it can be inherited for two generations, but it is impossible to be promoted to the third level.
Individuals with second-class merit or below , the Shen Ce Guards made their own decisions, but a copy of the list still had to be filed with Luo Chong, and a copy had to be sent to the local government where the soldiers were registered, because they also needed to handle the promotion of the title.
After handling these matters, Qu Bing personally took these materials and the application for the first-class merit to Hanyang City to find Luo Chong, and then he went home for two days, and then came back with Luo Chong's reply to the barracks, distributed the merits, and let the soldiers on vacation go home for rotation, and then he took the rest of the people to do restorative training, and restore the combat effectiveness of the Shen Ce Guards as soon as possible, so that when Luo Chong wanted to use the Shen Ce Guards, they could be pulled out at any time to win the battle.
However, Luo Chong had already made future plans for the Shen Ce Guards. After the Shen Ce Guards completed the new weapons replacement, they would soon follow him south, and then be assigned to various troops as instructors to guide the troops in the task of weapon replacement and training reform.
The military camp of the Shen Ce Guard was in the back mountain of Hanyang City, that is, Beishan Mountain, behind the cave where Luo Chong lived when he first came to this world, so Qu Bing rode his horse in just two hours to reach Luo Chong's home.
"Chief, this is the list of the merits of the Shen Ce Guards of second-class merit and below, as well as the application forms for these first-class merits, and the corresponding battle reports, which contain detailed combat processes. The chief should check and approve them as soon as possible."
"Okay, put it here, I will approve it as soon as possible. When it is ready, I will ask the guards to send it directly to the military camp. You can go home now, and remember to come back in two days. Your soldiers will help with the testing of new weapons later." Luo Chong nodded directly.
"Yes, that." Qu Bing clasped his fists in response, but he hesitated again, and he didn't say what he was going to do after a long time.
Luo Chong looked up at him unhappily and scolded him, "Well, you are already a commander and a father, why are you still hesitating when speaking? Just say it directly if you have something to say!"
"Chief, I, I want you to give our child a name, is that okay?" Qu Bing immediately said it with courage after hearing it, and looked at Luo Chong with an expectant expression.
Luo Chong laughed immediately, "Naming, that's easy, why not give it according to your name, you were not in good health when you were a child, and it was me who treated your illness at that time, then let's call your son Qu Bing 'Qi Ji', which means the same as Qu Bing, I hope he can grow up safely and not be as weak and sick as you were when you were a child." "
Ah? Qi Ji, this name is good, thank you chief, if this child knows that his name was given by the chief, he will definitely laugh with joy." Qu Bing was immediately happy after hearing Luo Chong's explanation.
"Okay, go home quickly, I know you have wanted to go home to see your children for a long time." Luo Chong waved his hand and started to drive him away.
"Yes, thank you, Chief. By the way, Chief, the crystals we collected are still on the boat at the dock of Weishan County. I forgot to mention it when we were drinking yesterday. Chief, don't forget to send someone to receive them." Qubing bowed and said goodbye.
"I know. I have arranged for someone to send them to the island in the middle of the lake."
In the next few days, Luo Chong was busy all the time. Qubing went home and saw his wife and children. Then he started to prepare for the full moon wine and invited Luo Chong to the banquet. Luo Chong went with his family to be a guest.
After returning, he began to review the merit application reports of the Shen Ce Guards. After a simple check, he signed and stamped his approval. For those with second-class merits and below, Luo Chong also asked the imperial guards to help. According to the registered residence of those soldiers, they were sent to the local government by the way of flying eagles to let them handle the change of registered residence and title.
During this period, Dashu of Takuhai County sent Luo Chong a letter, saying that he was going to build a new yard for Luo Chong in the county town of Takuhai County, as well as photos of the workers building the house and the architectural drawings of the house.
It must be said that Dashu is the most reliable, serious and careful in doing things
. As long as it is a task assigned to him by Luo Chong, he will complete it well. In addition, She Xin of Liuyang County also sent people to Luo Chong several times, still about the Snow Beer Factory. Luo Chong directly remotely controlled and arranged the construction of the brewery in an orderly manner.
Qubing stayed at home for two days and soon returned to the barracks. However, there is nothing important now. After arranging the soldiers' rotation holidays and resuming training, he can go home once or twice a week. Anyway, it is not far from home. If it is too far, there is naturally no way.
Luo Chong asked the guards to send the approval of the merit application to the barracks. Qubing also quickly took these documents and distributed them, and began to determine the merit level of the soldiers, and then began to select people for vacation.
The first batch of people who took leave had 1,300 people, and half of them were given leave. The leave lasted two months, a total of 60 days, including the round-trip journey. The tribe provided the round-trip transportation expenses. For example, there were many southern soldiers returning this time, so Luo Chong directly arranged for them to take the Flying Fish sailboat to send them. They did not take a special line, but took the transport ships that delivered goods to various places in the south.
Soldiers from nearby places, such as those from Xingang County, could take the army's horse-drawn carriages. Soldiers from Hanyang County were sent by horse-drawn carriages arranged by the military camp. Soldiers from farther away, such as those from Weishan County, could go to Xingang County to take a train, but this time it was not a special train, so they could only squeeze on the truck. If they were from Liuyang County and Dongxin County, they had to go to Weishan County to find a boat to go.
Just when Qubing began to arrange for the Shen Ce Guards to take turns to rest and resume training, good news came from Bai Qi. According to the modification plan proposed by Luo Chong, Bai Qi had already worked out the improvement plan for the Chinese typewriter with the research and development team.
The new Chinese typewriter, according to Luo Chong's suggestion, was changed to the pinyin method of checking characters. It is divided into horizontal and vertical axes. The vertical axis is the initial consonant, and the horizontal axis is the final vowel. The horizontal and vertical axes intersect to form small squares, and these small squares contain the corresponding homophones.
However, in order to better distinguish these homophones, the small squares of homophones are further divided into four areas according to the four pinyin tones. In these four different tone areas, the characters are arranged according to the number of strokes of the characters.
In this way, characters with fewer strokes and simple characters are put together, and characters
with more strokes are put together, which makes it clear at a glance. In addition, according to Luo Chong's suggestion, a magnifying glass that can move with the handle is installed on the handle to facilitate faster and more accurate finding of the corresponding Chinese characters.
Finally, regarding the problem of the typewriter's striking force, they also installed a buffer spring according to Luo Chong's instructions to solve the problem of unstable striking force.
Luo Chong personally went to the school's printing department to practice. Since he was familiar with the pinyin problem, he had no difficulty using it. After more than an hour of practical operation, he could type at a speed of about 40 words per minute.
But don't underestimate this speed. After all, this thing is not a computer keyboard. There is no comparison. One is a physical typewriter and the other is a computer software input method. How can they be compared?
Anyway, Luo Chong was very satisfied with this typing device.
