After the reorganization of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, there were still nearly 2,000 troops gathered in Shouyi City. In addition to the officers being trained by the teaching brigade, most of them were troops from the new attached battalion captured by the Northern Development Team, and there were also some who joined one after another.
The young and strong people of all ethnic groups. γγ These people were unified into two brigades, under the command of the sergeant, and became the postmen of the established post stations and the guards of the small strongholds.
After nearly three months of construction, forty-six post stations and 13 small strongholds have been completed in various places. The post stations are under the jurisdiction of the Transportation Department. Director Xu Ping has assigned 30 post soldiers to each post station. In addition, there are also
Ten old, weak and young men are responsible for chores. Small strongholds are under the jurisdiction of the sergeant. The sergeant's personnel configuration for the small stronghold is fifty combat soldiers with fifty auxiliary soldiers, and there are also thirty untouchables for non-combat duties.
It is a matter of friendship, so there must be a total of 130 people in a small stronghold including the guards.
The forty-six completed post stations require a total of 1,380 post soldiers. In addition, the post stations under construction and planning require a total of nearly 4,000 post soldiers. After the entire post station is completed, only the required post soldiers will be needed.
Reaching nearly 6,000 people. This number is very huge and unbearable for the Guan Ning Army. Because with the addition of the newly established third infantry regiment, the formal strength of the five regiments of the Guan Ning Army is no more than
There are about 16,000 people, so the deployment of post soldiers certainly cannot be deployed from within the Guan Ning Army. The Transportation Department's approach is to arrange sergeants who have been injured in previous battles to the post station, either as post commanders or as captains of the post team.
In addition, all personnel are drawn from old and weak civilians, and young and strong labor is used as little as possible, because the main function of the post station is to provide accommodation and rest for the messengers, and to provide horses for transportation, and does not need to undertake combat tasks. Those young and strong people must be wasted in the inn
There are still many places where they are needed.
The amount of food required by the post station system of 6,000 people is very huge. Someone once proposed to Zhao Qiang that the number of post stations should be reduced to reduce the already small food supply. Zhao Qiang rejected this proposal without hesitation.
Zhao Qiang, who was well aware of the importance of smooth information for the war, would rather starve to death thousands of untouchables than reduce the size of the post station. He asked the people to give priority to providing the food and grass needed for the post station no matter what the circumstances, and must not allow the operation of the post station.
There was a pause.
Except for the 400 remaining men from each tribe who were selected to be under the command of the sergeant, the rest were all sent to inns and small strongholds, with the former accounting for one-fifth and the latter accounting for more than half.
The construction of Yask City has been carried out in full swing. According to the previous decisions of the people, the people of all ethnic groups living along the river outside Shouyi City were moved to Yask in batches to participate in the construction of Yask City.
Various departments have also begun to move to Yask. So far, Shouyi City Hospital has trained more than 100 "hairy foot doctors" who can perform simple treatments. For the purpose of expanding Shouyi City Hospital into the Guanning Military Field Hospital,
Shouyi City Hospital was also on the relocation list, and more than a hundred "hairy doctors" were assigned to various places to set up purely civilian hospitals. Zhao Qiang asked Guo Youfu and other Francois to put the hospital into operation as soon as possible after arriving in Yask.
Get up, and train no less than 500 field doctors, and clearly inform them that in the future, each wing of the Guanning Army will have a field medical team of 100 people. As for the Yask Hospital as the general hospital
, it will be several times larger than Shouyi City Hospital, with about a thousand beds, and more than 500 nursing staff and doctors.
Guo Youfu and others already knew that Duncan and Guo Youshou had gone to Macau, and also learned that in the near future, they, the Flemish people, would be in charge of the development of mineral deposits in the area occupied by the Guan Ning Army. Under the temptation and incentives of such an attractive prospect
Next, Guo Youfu and four other people implemented Zhao Qiang's orders very thoroughly and actively. They fully carried forward the spirit of "internationalism" and completed all preparations for the relocation of Shouyi City Hospital in just two days. In this regard, Zhao Qiang
They were specially summoned and asked to give them rich rewards. However, several people expressed doubts about the size of the Yask General Hospital and the medical teams of each wing planned by Zhao Qiang, believing that they alone could not complete such a huge hospital.
After hearing this, Zhao Qiang knew that what they said was right. His plan was a bit too big. Not to mention a qualified doctor, even a qualified nursing staff could not be trained in a few months.
However, in view of the imminent war against the Qing Dynasty, it is conceivable how high the casualty rate of soldiers will be. Therefore, Zhao Qiang had to make a big leap forward to establish a medical system in advance, in order to minimize the casualty rate and ensure that after the war against the Qing Dynasty began, the casualty rate would be as high as possible.
The core of the Ning Army's operations is to ensure that the injured veterans can return to the battlefield in time. However, the demands and reality are polarized. Guo Youfu and others alone cannot meet their demands. Zhao Qiang is a little distressed and does not know what to do.
Put your plans into place.
After knowing the commander's troubles, Liu De told Zhao Qiang that in addition to the few Fo Langji people, there were also many people in various tribes who were proficient in medical skills. Many of them played roles such as wizards in the original tribes. If necessary,
, these people can be recruited into the hospital and let them serve as doctors and nursing staff. After listening to Liu De's opinion, Zhao Qiang was overjoyed. He had no prejudice against tribal wizards. On the one hand, these people were the executors of religious totem beliefs.
But on the other hand, they are all good at medicine, otherwise they would not be able to gain the respect and admiration of the people just by lying. The medical skills of foreigners are important, but the medical skills of local people cannot be ignored. The combination of the two,
Only by blending water and soil can the Guan Ning army be able to better treat the diseases of the people under his rule. At that time, Zhao Qiang asked Min Cao to recruit people who knew medical skills from various places, and they were hired after being assessed by Guo Youfu and others, while those wizards were directly recruited
Recruit them into the hospital. According to the proportion of the population of each ethnic group under the rule, this method can roughly get nearly 500 tribesmen who understand medical skills or have a little knowledge. Adding those who have been previously trained can alleviate the problem of shortage of manpower to a certain extent.
Through the one-to-one, one-to-one, and one-to-many model, at least the main hospital can be built in the spring of next year. If everything goes well, the joint medical team can also be established. As for the medicinal materials needed by the hospital, Zhao Qiang said
There is no need to worry at all. There is nothing else in this vast land, but there are many precious medicinal materials. For this reason, Zhao Qiang asked Mincao to not only buy medicinal materials from residents from various places, but also set up his own medicinal collection team to collect them in the mountains.
All hemostatic drugs that can treat trauma are collected and reserved for use.
After the hospital problem is solved, another thing that worries Zhao Qiang is the translation school. The establishment of the translation school is related to the assimilation of foreign races in various places under the rule, and is also related to military orders. Now most of Guan Ning's army are of foreign races. If there is no language
With the passage of time, the gap between soldiers will inevitably arise. To eliminate this gap, we must rely on language communication. Therefore, the translation school is essentially related to the future of Guan Ningjun. For this reason
After considering it, Zhao Qiang also split the translation school into two, with half staying in Shouyi City and half moving to Yask. The one that moved to Yask will be expanded into Guan Ningjun Translation College. The future translation school is located in the southeast of Yask City, covering an area of
It is a thousand acres in size, and the remaining half will become the translation school in Shouyi City. Like the translation schools in Dingyuan City, Gulihe and other places that are about to be built, it will become a channel for residents from all over the world to learn Chinese. And the relationship between Yask
The Ningjun Translation College is responsible for teaching Chinese to soldiers in the army. In order to increase the enthusiasm of soldiers of all ethnic groups to learn Chinese, Zhao Qiang specifically ordered that all officer promotions in the army must follow a premise, that is, those who understand Chinese are given priority. This is different from the lack of manpower in hospitals.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of teachers in the translation school, because the descendants of the original Ming Dynasty garrison troops have joined Guan Ning's army by thousands of Han people, and these Han people who are proficient in Chinese and multi-ethnic languages ββare undoubtedly the best teachers.
