Chapter 20 Classmate Cai Yilin
April is spring and scenery is bright.
The white clouds like fish scales flow slowly with the spring breeze, blocking the bright sunlight. Moving light and shadow appeared on the surface of the Danluo Sea, which complemented the layers of waves.
The lush vegetation of Danluo Island is like a green gem, embedded on this blue waves. At the easternmost end of the island, the Sunrise Peak surrounded by ninety-nine sharp stones is full of yellow rape flowers. Looking down from the air, it is like a huge crown!
A loud and neat song echoed on the Sunrise Peak with a slight panting.
"Today's day, the sky is clear and the waves are high, and the battle flags are floating on the mast of the ship. The commander of the barbarian ship escapes when he hears the wind. The uncle cares whether he hits or catches!"
The singing team was a team of strong men wearing white short-shoeeded braids, sporting hard-soled braids and holding short buns. They were running along the brick and stone road around Sunrise Peak led by a man in the same dress, but with a thick red bar embroidered on his left chest.
The mountain road was built to transport supplies to the forts. On the side of Chengshan Sunrise Peak facing the sea, there are five round concrete forts, each with five thick and long shore defense cannons installed. The black holes point to the sea surface and form cross-fire with the water police station fort on the opposite Niudao Peak, completely blocking the sea surface leading to Chengshan Port.
However, the Sunrise Peak, which is four miles long, is as big as a small county town, and it is a pity to use it as a fort. Originally, the soldiers of the Li Dynasty regarded this place as a ranch and planted alfalfa and rapeseed.
After the Danluo Guard Area occupied this place, it planned to set up the commander's troops in this condescending place, but on-site investigations found that it was too inconvenient to go up and down, which was not conducive to the smooth flow of military orders, and even draft was a problem, so it would be better to build it next to the military port at the foot of the mountain.
Mr. Zhao decided to build the Danluo Island Coast Guard School on Sunrise Peak. Anyway, the school students came to be troubled, and it was just right to build it on the mountain.
This earliest naval school in the Ming Dynasty and even the world has three academies: police officers, police officers, police officers, and police officers, which are responsible for the training of coast guard officers, non-commissioned officers and sailors.
In addition to the coast guard officers and soldiers who joined the army before the school was founded, they went directly to the corresponding colleges and universities to study for one year and took relevant courses. Even if they passed the exam, they were considered to be qualified. After the school was founded, all newly recruited soldiers must first study at the police school for one year.
During this year's study, all students started learning from the most basic dress, salute, and internal affairs. They went to preliminary queue training, regulations and orders. Then they became familiar with the basic situation of the coast guard troops, understood the coast guard and their own responsibilities, and were injected with spirit... Oh no, they repeatedly instilled creeds such as honor, loyalty, courage, and determination. They also had to conduct basic fighting shooting training.
At the same time, all illiterate students... well, most of them are illiterate and have to perform literacy at night. After their literacy and arithmetic pass the exam, the college will assign them to different classes according to their needs and their own characteristics.
For example, the gunner class needs to learn basic calculations and geometric knowledge, learn to use tools to proficiently measure distances and calculate ballistics.
Navigation, natural learning to draw pictures, and the use of navigational instruments such as starboards and sextant.
In addition, there are signal classes, ship art classes, meteorological classes, damage management classes, etc., which are trained in different directions according to the needs of various departments on the warship.
When the school year is over and passes the graduation assessment, you can become a formal coast guard with the title of third-level police officer.
Among the top ten police officers with excellent performance, they can be awarded the title of second-level police officer.
In addition, the top 20% of police officers in the comprehensive ranking are eligible to apply for the Police Academy. Police officers who pass the examination will continue to study in the Police Academy for two years, and after graduation, they can become a trainee police superintendent and join the ranks of police officers.
Police officers who have not been admitted do not have to be discouraged. After they enter the coast guard force, they have an opportunity to redeem points for the qualification of the Police Academy. They can participate in the new phase of the Police Academy entrance examination with new students.
However, after graduation, they also received the rank of superintendent internship. This is obviously not worthwhile for old police officers who have been a police officer for many years. Because their salary is much higher than that of junior police officers.
Zhao Hao’s design is to limit the old police officer exams. Grassroots officers must be young and energetic, and it’s not OK to get a bunch of veterans.
However, the old police officers don’t have to be frustrated. Mr. Zhao also thoughtfully designed another promotion channel for them - after the service period of the first-level police officer has expired, or after saving enough points, he can apply to enter the Police Academy for further study. After the one-year period is over, the third-level police officer can be awarded the qualification for lifelong service.
~~
This team of men running and fucking are the second-year students of the Police Academy and the first group of students to receive complete subject training.
They signed up to join the coast guard force in April last year. Unlike the previous police officers who were either from refugees or from Shachuan Gang, half of the students in this period were from civilian households in various prefectures in Jiangnan, and even from military households.
The reason for this change is that at the end of the previous year, a large number of police officers returned home for vacation. After long-term military training and adequate nutritional food, the police officers have undergone earth-shaking changes from their physique to temperament. Coupled with the well-designed and well-used police uniforms, they are particularly dazzling and become the most beautiful boys on the street.
Moreover, after they came back, they bought a house and bought land to get married, which was naturally even more eye-catching. Everyone knew that they had made a fortune outside.
Of course, there are also unlucky guys like Chu Liuxiang, who were falsely accused of communicating with Japanese people because they met bad people. However, after Mr. Zhao properly handled the matter, bad things turned into good things, and started to promote the machine, which made the coast guard officers and soldiers represented by Chu Liuxiang into heroes who protected the security of maritime trade for the people of Jiangnan. It also emphasized that the coast guard was treated high and was still recruiting people.
In addition to regular publicity, Zhao Hao also asked Xu Wei to write Chu Liuxiang's story into an opera and toured in various prefectures in Jiangnan.
With the active cooperation of development companies in various counties, the status of the coast guard officers and soldiers in the hearts of the people in Jiangnan was suddenly improved. Whoever has a son who works as a coast guard outside became the object of envy of the neighbors, and the matchmaker who said he was close to him even broke the threshold.
The Jiangnan prefectures naturally set off a wave of participating in the police. At the end of March last year, when the group commissioned development companies in various counties to recruit 3,000 coast guards on their behalf, a total of 20,000 people signed up at once!
At that time, Xu Wei's play had not been written yet and the publicity was not in place. I heard that when the coast guard was recruited again in March this year, the number of applicants actually exceeded 50,000!
Fortunately, it was recruited separately by 61 counties in the ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River. Each county only had an average of 700 or 800 people, which was not too out of line... The development companies in each county recruited thousands of people every year. It was just a drizzle to recruit 700 or 800 people and would not attract attention at all.
Besides, the security area is not always rejected, and the recruitment standards of the coast guard are still very high. Basically, it is based on the Qi family army's "four things, four don'ts":
First of all, don’t want people in the city…because people in the city are sloppy and do not suffer.
Secondly, don’t be a bad person in the government... These people are not easy to fool, and they will bring bad news.
Furthermore, if you are over forty years old and those who are white... It is not necessary to mention that you are too old, the security area is not a nursing home. Considering that the navy is not a consumable, but a technical army that has been in service for a long time, Zhao Hao directly raised it to over twenty years old.
As for those who are white, they have less outdoor work and their physical foundation will definitely not meet the standards. Some people say that white-grown people have good nutrition and great potential. But the reality is that even under malnutrition, long-term hard work will greatly improve people's endurance and tolerance for pain. This advantage is really important for sailors who are voyage.
The nutrition can be replenished quickly, but the tolerance has to be tempered over the years, so Mr. Zhao has not changed this article.
Finally, don’t be brave and bold… Needless to say, the former is, and those with extremely bravery often do not abide by the rules and are prone to aggressiveness. This is even more harmful to the navy that emphasizes absolute obedience.
So who do you want?
Qi Jiguang said that, first, we need pure working people; second, we need to be thick and strong, and strong... all of which are easy to understand.
The key is the last two, third, people with a dizzy look... the confused elm head cannot be taught.
Fourth, people who are a little scared when they meet the government... Such people are honest and easy to obey authority.
So, General Qi is really the first military theorist since ancient times. He deserves to be invincible, and he is a great victory in every battle.
Later, when Zeng Guofan recruited troops, he would take medicine according to the prescription. Since Zeng shaved his head and could copy it, Mr. Zhao could naturally feel at ease and boldly copy homework.
It’s just that he made some supplements to the differences between the navy and the army. For example, he asked to be able to swim, not seasick, have good eyesight, good hearing, and loud voice... Why do he have a loud voice? In this era when communication on ships basically relies on roaring, so he still wants to drive a warship in a low voice?
Fortunately, there were enough people to register, and last year it was six to choose one. This year, only one out of twenty people was left, which was enough to carefully select the most suitable seedlings for the coast guard troops.
In addition to this kind of social recruitment, Zhao Hao also recruits graduates within schools under the Jiangnan Education Group. The social recruitment is mainly to recruit future police officers; school recruitment is to reserve police officers.
Moreover, there are no restrictions on campus recruitment above: four, four, and four. As long as you are graduates from various schools of Jiangnan Education, you are eligible to register for further studies at the Coast Guard School.
This is how Cai Yilin was recruited. He was the younger brother of Cai Yimu, an outstanding graduate of the first phase of the Caijiaxiang Primary School in Nanjing. He also studied at Caijiaxiang Primary School and entered the same day as his brother. But because he was young at that time, he attended the ordinary class with three years of schooling.
So Yimu's classmate graduated for two years before he graduated. In fact, Cai Yilin wanted to continue studying, but he was already seventeen years old at that time, and his family could not let him go to Suzhou to study in middle school, so it would be impossible not to spend money.
However, before graduation, the school announced that all students who graduated successfully could register to continue their studies at the Coast Guard School and pay their salaries from admission.
Although the salary for two taels of silver per month is not much for a primary school graduate, his brother Yimu has already received five taels of silver per month. But it is enough for the family to stop opposing it. So with his longing for knowledge, he resolutely signed up to join the Coast Guard School and took a boat to Danluo Island.
As a result, I almost regretted it...
