"The entire army has crossed Kaifeng, and there are still dozens of kilometers to go before reaching Zhengzhou!" Tang Dao's eyes wandered around the map.
"In this way, starting from tomorrow, the entire army will slow down its marching speed. The daily march can not exceed ten kilometers. The staff will select the camping site. After arriving at the camping site, except for the new recruits who will train in formation for two hours as usual, the rest will be divided into battalions and companies.
The unit is preparing the first New Year's Eve party program for my Four Elements Troupe! Mingyue, do you think this is feasible?"
"You can think of letting those gangsters put on a show!" Tantai Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled.
"Hey, since it's the first time for the whole army of our Four Elements Regiment to celebrate New Year's Eve, what's the point of just inviting a troupe to sing a big show like before?
As soldiers, we have to put on our own shows, whether it's singing, dancing, or doing a cross talk or something like that! And don't underestimate the wisdom of the rough guys. I will give an order later for each company to
The company produces a program for the unit, but it didn't say not to borrow people! Believe it or not, your medical team and the student company will soon become popular!" Tang Dao, who found a breakthrough, laughed easily.
"You have to help me think about a theme. Use this rare New Year's Eve party as an opportunity to enhance the cohesion of the whole regiment and instill a spirit of patriotism in the officers and soldiers!"
"This is easy to handle. Now that the Battle of Xuzhou has begun with great vigor, we will use the poem 'Spring Hope' by the great poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty as the title, and hang in the center of the stage the most famous line in the poem, 'The country is broken and the mountains and rivers are here!'" Dan Dan
Tai Mingyue lowered her head and thought for a while before saying.
"Spring Hope! Although the wind is biting and freezing now, as long as you persist, you can wait until the spring when the warm wind will make tourists drunk! It not only represents the current seasonal weather, but also symbolizes the current weather we are in.
The war situation in the state of defeat couldn't be better!" Tang Dao's eyes were slightly stunned, and then he grinned and praised his fiancée without hesitation: "No wonder people say that you need to find the right wife. Finding the right wife can not only educate
Good for the next generation and you can save money!”
"Bah! We haven't even gotten married yet. You keep saying that word every day, and if my father hears it, he will call you a bastard again." Tantai Mingyue couldn't help but blush when Tang Dao shouted like this.
Blushing.
Then, I couldn't help but be a little curious. Good ideas can be praised as smart, but can this be related to saving money?
"Hehe, think about it! If you hadn't been knowledgeable, I would have called Lei Xiong, Gong Shaoxun and a bunch of rough guys to hold a meeting to discuss, right? A bunch of rough guys squatting together, even if they smoked out the whole cigarette, they probably wouldn't have thought it would be so appropriate.
The theme! Do you think those guys will bring their own cigarettes?" Tang Dao said with a smile.
Hearing what Tang Dao said, Tantai Mingyue also laughed.
In fact, what Tang Dao said is the truth. Ever since the commander of the Tang Dynasty deducted Lei Xiong's military pay, that person used the excuse of supporting his family every day to eat and drink and smoke cigarettes. Later, Leng Feng, Li Jijin and a group of former four
The old comrades in the group also seemed to have seen business opportunities, especially Li Jiujin, who was so shameless that reporting on work was always a meal.
It's not that Tang Dao's food is better, but after crossing the Yangtze River and starting to retreat to Xuzhou, the regiment headquarters issued a military order that during non-wartime, the entire army, regardless of military rank, must pay food expenses.
Ordinary soldiers pay one yuan per month, lieutenants two yuan per month, and school officers pay five yuan per month. Although officers pay more, Tang Dao also stipulates that unless there is a reception mission, no officer is allowed to open a small stove.
If you do not have meals in your own company, after the settlement of the month, the division chief of each company will be responsible for reporting and receiving funds from the military quarters office for refund.
For this reason, the newly established cooking squad leaders in each company are basically with the rank of sergeant, because they also have the military position of division chief and are in charge of the finances of an infantry company.
However, not everyone can easily take this position. It is usually a veteran who has had military exploits and is injured and physically disabled and unfit to go to the front line again. This is both a reward and a kind of trust.
The chief of staff can also participate in the internal decision-making of the company. Ordinary second lieutenants have to be polite even if they have a higher rank than him.
It is definitely the favorite position for veterans who are disabled but do not want to leave the army. The position of more than a dozen division chiefs also solves the worries of many company commanders. It is a killing two birds with one stone.
With the position of chief executive in each company, management has become more refined. If anyone has entertainment, it will be charged per head, and it will be filled up by the parties involved at the end of the month.
That means that if Li Jijin doesn't eat in his infantry company, he can get a refund, but if Tang Dao adds a pair of fast boys to the regiment headquarters, he will have to pay more. Just like Tantai Yunshu can be regarded as Tang Dao's
Tang Dao's customer, all expenses incurred by him and the old servant must be calculated on Tang Dao. At the end of the month, the division chief of the regiment will report the data to the Munitions Department and it will be deducted from his military pay.
Although Yue Yiman, his mother and his son, and Shitou's brother and sister did not have military membership, they were considered members of the Si Xing Regiment, and all expenses were borne by the regiment headquarters.
The reason why it was said that ordinary soldiers paid one yuan, lieutenants doubled, and school officers even more was because Tang Dao was shocked when he looked at the amount of military pay calculated by the military commissary office in his spare time.
Perhaps his understanding of this era is still limited, or perhaps he has watched too many old movies and has formed a fixed impression-the poor soldiers are referring to them!
But in fact, that is likely to only apply to the army that can only rely on itself, and for this group of troops supported by the state, the salary is really quite high.
Take Tang Dao himself, with the rank of colonel, his monthly salary was originally 240 oceans per month, but now he is only half of it because of the national disaster salary, but that still reaches 120 oceans per month.
Many people may not have much idea about the purchasing power of Dayang, but Tang Dao remembers reading a piece of information. In terms of purchasing power, the purchasing power of Dayang before the war was almost equivalent to the purchasing power of 200 RMB yuan in the future. Even during wartime, it would be
Has a purchasing power equivalent to 90 RMB in the future.
That means that an army colonel, even if he relies on nothing else but his salary, can make a happy life for his family.
Of course, a colonel in the army is already a mid-level and high-level officer. A lieutenant colonel's salary of 100 yuan is not too much, and a major's salary of 80 yuan is not too much. The lowest lieutenant and warrant officer have already become 24 yuan, and the lowest private among soldiers only has 7 yuan.
.
Therefore, the regiment headquarters requires soldiers to pay one yuan, lieutenants two yuan, and school officers five yuan, which are basically within the scope of what everyone can afford.
As for Tang Dao, the regimental officer with the highest military rank in the regiment, his military salary seems to be the highest, but in fact he doesn't get much. Officers like Lei Xiong and Li Jijin who are rich in the regiment are really young and old.
Tang Dao didn't care at first, waiting for the division chief of the regiment, the veteran who could barely read addition and subtraction within 20 and only had one arm after spending a week with the proud men of the student company who couldn't read a word.
He came to Tang Dao with a face and said that he had calculated it several times and it was not even the end of the month! The head of Tang Da already owed a debt of 60 yuan.
Tang Dao was shocked. He was sure that he ate the same food as the big-headed soldiers every day. Why did he eat so much? At that time, he even began to wonder if it was a wrong choice to let these uneducated guys become the chief secretary.
, after all, Te Liang doesn’t even know how to settle accounts.
But the fact is that through hard study, the veteran has already learned the addition and subtraction within a hundred. In less than a month, he invited hundreds of people to dinner.
Almost every day, a group of guys headed by Lei Xiong and Li Jijin came to the regiment headquarters to have a meal and record the accounts of regiment commander Tang Dao, even in the days when Tang Dao was away.
In addition, Tang Dao also hosted a banquet for Commander Wu of the 67th Army and his party. In the future, my father-in-law and his family will also have to eat and drink well. How about 60 yuan?
Good guy, I haven’t even received a penny of military pay yet! I went halfway there first. Tantai Mingyue, who knew this situation, came to eat with Tang Dao and his father for several days in a row, and rolled her eyes when she saw Li Jijin and the others,
Only then can we curb the evil tendencies of Li Jijin and his gang.
Tang Dao didn't feel bad. As the hostess who would take care of the family in the future, Tantai Mingyue had the talent of a Jiangnan woman.
The money that should be spent must be spent, but "husbands and friends" like Li Jijin will always go to drink the northwest wind by themselves.
Erya, who had been watching the group being 'bullied' but dared not speak out, finally had a good night's sleep in those two days.
"You! You are so smart on the battlefield, but in real life, you are too loyal. But if it's not like this, Li Jijin and the others won't be so devoted to you." Tantai Mingyue scolded.
"Anyway, from now on, the financial power of my Tang family will be handed over to you. Just give me some cigarette money every month. If those guys want to take advantage of me again, you will have to agree!" Tang Dao took the initiative to hold Dan.
Tai Mingyue also took the initiative to hand over the future financial initiative. "Who makes me an honest child!"
Moreover, he still brought the entire Tang family with him.
Tang Dao couldn't care less about whether his father, who was still far away in Sichuan, would break his legs.
Before I knew it, it was already the zenith of the moon. Under the oil lamp, the face of the bright moon in Tantai was so white that it made people's hearts beat. Even the fingertips and belly were as white as green onions.
The so-called jade finger is green, so it is right! The ancients have never deceived me! Tang Dao, who no longer had any worries, was immediately moved!
Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty. Men are usually willing to give up their "future" at such times, even if they regret it and stomp their feet.
Unfortunately, fate is not as good as fate. Even if Tang Dao handed over his future financial power, he would not have the chance to take a bite of his incredibly beautiful future wife.
It’s not that I didn’t feel happy because I blushed but didn’t run away.
"Ahem!" A series of coughs came from the small courtyard of the regimental headquarters.
It was cold and windy outside, and the handsome middle-aged man who had been lying around for a long time definitely had a runny nose. It was completely normal to cough a few times.
The poor old father worked tirelessly to prevent Little Red Riding Hood from being eaten by the big bad wolf!...
The excitement caused by Commander Tang's regiment looking at the beauty under the lamp was in vain, but it did not affect the military order issued by the regiment headquarters the next morning.
The location set by the General Staff for the New Year's Eve celebration is in a small town only six or seven kilometers west of Zhengzhou, and the Si Xing Group is currently only 40 kilometers away from there. According to the daily itinerary, it only takes two days.
However, when they heard that the whole regiment could march slowly and arrive in three or four days, and the extra time would be used to repair and select programs, the ordinary officers and soldiers almost took off their hats to celebrate.
I was really exhausted. I marched with twenty or thirty kilograms of equipment on my back for fourteen consecutive days, and then had to meticulously build a field position. Even an iron man was almost exhausted.
I didn’t realize that Lao Abacus, an old gambler who loves ‘entertainment’ so much, except for asking everyone to come and play a few games while he was still resting on the first and second days, he completely stopped after that. After digging trenches and repairing things, he ate
After eating, almost everyone fell down to sleep. The loudest sound in the campsite was snoring, and there was no other sound.
The officers and soldiers were happy, but the company commanders were in trouble.
If they want to go to war with the Japanese, there is no problem. They went there with more than a hundred brothers according to the instructions issued by the regiment headquarters.
But each company-level unit has to put on a program, and the format of the program is not limited to singing, dancing, drama, cross talk, sketches, etc. Song and dance are singing and dancing! This is easy to understand, and cross talk is for southerners
Crosstalk is a rare thing, but for northerners, they still know the name, but what is that sketch?
No one from the south, the north or the Central Plains knew about this new term. The company commander ran to ask the battalion commander, but the battalion commander had no choice but to go and ask Tang Dao, the instigator.
"The sketch is an art form that uses the vernacular to express the singing and singing on the stage. The forms of expression are different, but the artistic essence is the same. For example, you can find some battle scenes on the battlefield that you think are tragic or joyful.
, use people to show it on a small stage. It can make people cry or make people laugh, that is the ability of the performer." Tang Daoyan said concisely and comprehensively.
Speaking of this, Tang Dao is just a layman who has seen pigs walking and never eaten pork. He doesn't expect these rough guys to really perform well. It's just a personal plot, as if there is no one on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. The sketch seems to be missing something.
"Is it possible to sing Qin Opera?" Lei Xiong, a Shaanxi native, asked.
"No problem! As long as you don't have a male duck's voice, once that thing starts roaring, the whole male duck's voice will be really unbearable!"
"Can we use our Nagada's Northeastern Yangge?" Guo Shouzhi, a native of Northeast China, suddenly lit up.
"Of course! But you have to be careful, don't be too clever and have a row of rough guys twisting on the stage, it's really eye-catching!"...
The original intention of Tang Dao is to let everyone relax and have a good New Year, and at the same time, take this opportunity to have another patriotic education. The super large banner of "The country has broken through the mountains and rivers!" is the core propaganda slogan.
Who knows, he really underestimates the wisdom of the people.
Especially if there is an incentive mechanism.
The military order of the regiment headquarters can be written clearly. The regiment has three infantry battalions and nine infantry companies, plus the special agent company, guard company, 1st artillery company, 2nd artillery company, cavalry company, baggage company, and student company directly under the regiment headquarters. , special operations squadron, a total of 17 company-level units.
At that time, all the officers and soldiers of the regiment, regardless of their official position, will each have one ballot, and each ballot will count for one point. Each of the ten judges invited by the regiment will have one ballot, but the votes will count for 30 points. The participating programs of each company will be judged based on the ballot scores. First, second and third prizes.
There are two first prizes, four second prizes, six third prizes, and the rest are excellence awards.
The first prize is NT$100, the second prize is NT$50, the third prize is NT$30, and the excellence award is NT$10!
In order to give the whole group a sense of participation, Tang Dao has also set up a link. If the officers and soldiers who vote for the program win the first prize, the voters will also receive corresponding prizes. Those who vote for the second prize will also win the prize. The level is one level lower, and so on.
The voting model from the future not only tests the vision of officers and soldiers and gives them a sense of participation, but also maintains fairness.
Of course, in order to prevent some companies from having more members than others from voting for each company, the rules are very clear. Ballots with company numbers cannot be voted for the programs of one's own company, but can only be voted for other people's programs.
As for whether there would be company commanders colluding with each other in private and exchanging votes, Tang Dao didn't write this rule in at all. He believed that the company commanders he selected would not use this kind of dirty tricks on his own people. Abuse of means.
There is no problem in using conspiracies and tricks to deal with enemies.
A soldier should have the temperament a soldier should have! Competing with colleagues and winning depends on one's own strength.
Bonuses are important, but glory is more important.
Maybe you can't get the first prize, but you definitely can't be the last five consolation prize winners. That would be a slap in the face not only to the company commander, but also to the entire company.
After the award rules came out, the company commanders took it very seriously. As soon as they arrived at the camp, they summoned more than a hundred of their men and asked them to volunteer to sign up and show off whatever abilities they had.
Don't tell me, there are currently only 3,000 people in the Four Elements Troupe. They really do a lot of things. Some of them sang with the troupe before, some did juggling, and some even had their chests broken with rocks.
There are so many talents.
Of course, the student company is still the most fragrant.
The military order of the regiment clearly stipulates that the performance must be performed by officers and soldiers of the company, but you can always let college students help arrange the show! Who wants people to read books?
Li Jijin is always the one with the most sensitive sense of smell. At noon that day, he dragged Teacher Xiao He and a few talented girls into the company to set a program for him. The price was that Captain Li Dal promised that after arriving at the destination, he would
I will personally serve as a shooting instructor for the girls for a week and provide bullets.
I can do this job too! Two young company commanders, Qian Dazhu and Yang Xiaoshan, beat each other’s heads with regret outside the student company.
That's because Li Jijin wasn't here. If he were here, the two young company commanders would probably beat him up.
After all, what a rare opportunity it is to have close contact with female college students! As an old man with a wife who dares to pick up a kitchen knife and confront bandits, do you want this resource to be put to good use?...
PS: The college football team played a game this afternoon and didn’t go home until 8 o’clock. Sorry for the late update!
