Lin Ziran promoted Wu Dajiang to be the deputy platoon leader of the first platoon. What he valued was his honesty and obedience to orders, not his talent.
Anyway, Lin Ziran still didn't see any talent in him for the time being.
In addition to Wu Dajiang, Lin Ziran also promoted a dozen squad leaders one after another. These people are basically similar to Wu Dajiang. They are all the kind of people who have been trained hard, don't make trouble, and obey orders.
As for being smart and so on, none of them were promoted!
These dozen or so squad leaders can be regarded as the first batch of people that Lin Ziran personally selected and promoted in this era. Lin Ziran did not have high hopes for them, but he still hoped that a few platoon leaders could be selected from them in the future.
These recruits were trained every day, and after a few days, Hao Ren, the deputy baggage officer of the Seventh Regiment, once again arrived at Qingshan Town with the baggage team.
Lin Ziran went to greet them as usual, and prepared to arrange manpower to escort the supplies northward with them the next day.
In the evening of the same day, Lin Ziran invited Hao Ren to have dinner and drinks at the city gate barracks. His original intention was to ask around and ask when the performance would be completed.
It had been seven or eight days since the leader of the Seventh Regiment, Dr. Jian Liangzhi, had performed his meritorious service, and he wanted to ask how the performance was going.
Hao Ren picked up the dish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. While chewing, he said vaguely: "Brother Lin, don't worry, our leader is a descendant of the Qing family. It's just a trivial matter to talk about merit. It's not worth mentioning. It's just needed for official documents."
It’s just time, I guess it won’t take a few days to come down!”
"A descendant of the Qing family?" Lin Ziran also knew that for people like Jian Liangzhi, talking about gong was just a casual thing, but it was just about his own body that made him a little uneasy.
Since Hao Ren said this, he ignored it and immediately paid attention to another key point in Hao Ren's words.
He had heard others say before that Jian Liangzhi's identity was not simple, but no one really told him about Jian Liangzhi's identity and background.
Seeing Lin Ziran's expression, Hao Ren took another sip of wine and said, "Our leader is a descendant of the Jian family."
Lin Ziran still looked confused. Jian Liangzhi's surname was Jian, so he must be a descendant of the Jian family, but he didn't know what the Jian family was.
The original person has been busy digging into the ravines, and he has been staying in this poor place like Qingshan Town for most of the month. How can he have any way to pay attention to the developments at the top?
Hao Ren chuckled at this time, and the contempt in his eyes flashed past, but he had always maintained the image of a good old man, so naturally he would not show it.
Immediately said: "It is the Jian family of Su Lai County who has been a Qing family for generations. Their ancestors were in the position of Qing Qing when the country was founded. More than two hundred years have passed, and they are still the Qing family. Tsk tsk..."
So awesome?
Lin Ziran also thought it was awesome after hearing it. The military rank system of Daheng Dynasty is actually very similar to the military rank system on Earth, but there are some differences in details. The Qing family in Daheng people's words is actually replaced by the Earth's terminology.
In other words, it is a family of generals.
The family of Qing for generations naturally means that there are people in high positions for many consecutive generations.
This is not easy for any family.
However, it is good for him to be a bit more awesome than Jian Liangzhi. After all, he still hopes that Jian Liangzhi can help him improve his performance.
Jian Liangzhi had told him before that, based on his merits, he dare not say much, but it is still possible to get the rank of sergeant.
This sergeant, if replaced by a modern military rank on earth, is roughly the same as a captain. He seems inconspicuous, but it is still an official status. From now on, he will be more legitimate as the battalion officer of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, and his work will become easier.
.
Lin Ziran and Hao Ren chatted about each other. During this period, Hao Ren also asked Lin Ziran a few questions about the purchase of ordnance.
This person was quite well informed. He had just purchased the ordnance a few days ago and had not yet received the goods. This person already knew about it.
But after all, he was the deputy baggage officer of the 7th regiment of the regular army. He had stayed in the county for a long time, so he was well-informed and could make sense.
After the small talk, the next day Lin Ziran once again led more than a hundred people out of the city to escort the luggage just like last time.
After all, Jian Liangzhi had previously provided a hundred guns and a batch of ammunition as reward. This batch of ordnance and other supplies alone were worth at least three thousand constant yuan.
The price seemed low, but Jian Liangzhi didn't let him go into battle. He just asked him to help escort the seven or eight kilometers of Qingshan Town. There was basically no danger.
Lin Ziran just used it as an armed training.
Moreover, Lin Ziran actually wanted to have a relationship with Jian Liangzhi. There were many benefits from being in a relationship with such a descendant of the Qing family.
There were no accidents during the escort. After walking for a long time, they arrived at the edge of Guang'an County at noon and handed over the supplies to the troops of the 7th Regiment.
The return trip was also smooth sailing.
In the following period, Lin Ziran led his troops to escort supplies three more times, basically maintaining a rhythm of once every four or five days.
It's just that more and more supplies are being escorted, and the types of supplies have also changed. At first, they were mainly military rations, etc., but now most of the supplies escorted are various types of firearms and ammunition, especially artillery shells, which are dozens of
Dozens of cars are being transported north.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the supplies consumed by a regiment with only about 1,500 people. Looking at this posture, it is estimated that it is enough for 3,000 to 5,000 people to fight a large-scale battle.
He also asked Hao Ren if the war situation in the north had changed, but Hao Ren didn't know.
To put it bluntly, in fact, Hao Ren was just a sergeant and a transport official, and he didn't know about some frontline information, especially various inside information.
It's just that the more supplies are transported, the happier Hao Ren will be, which Lin Ziran can't understand.
The more materials are transported, the heavier the task and the greater the pressure. Why is Hao Ren still in such a good mood?
Naturally, he didn't know that for Hao Ren, the larger the scale of transporting materials, the greater the operating space. Not to mention anything else, the fixed losses on the road would be a lot more.
In the past, when he only had twenty or thirty carts of supplies, he would only 'lose' two or three carts at most.
Now there are hundreds of carts of supplies, but he can directly 'lose' seven, eight or even a dozen carts.
This is all money!
But these have nothing to do with Lin Ziran. He only goes to escort them every few days. The amount of supplies has nothing to do with him.
After escorting supplies back to Qingshan Town again, Lin Ziran finally received good news. The caravan from Qingshan Commercial Bank for purchasing came back and not only brought him many experimental equipment and equipment, but also according to Lin Ziran's request,
Bring him a talent who can help him conduct experiments!
It’s just that the people in the caravan said that this person is a bit special!
