Chapter 320 Vanguard
What happened to Bacon was not complicated in Ying Ming, who was promoted to the Beiyang cavalry small flag official.
Under normal circumstances, Ying Ming, who is a small banner official, would know nothing. If he did not follow a good commander, it would be normal for soldiers and generals below a hundred households to step onto the battlefield and not know who the enemy was.
But it is different in the Eastern Military Palace, Chen Mu has a propaganda officer.
This system independent of officers and soldiers changes the communication of information within the army. The propaganda officer in each small flag is not just the third officer, they are also Chen Mu's mouthpiece in the army - ensuring that each soldier knows who to fight for and why to fight these two questions, but not knows more.
I only know what the military government officials think they should know.
In the past, Qianhu was a hurdle. When this position went up, basically before the war started, they knew who to fight, and some people knew how to fight; when this position went down, most officers knew nothing about the war, and often received orders when the war began.
Further downwards, there are all kinds of situations. Take the Qianhu Institute, the Qianhu Institute in Qingcheng as an example. Bai Yuanjie, a grassroots officer, has a family that is deeply rooted in Qingcheng, so he knows that the news is one step ahead of other hundred households. Chen Mu is highly valued by him and knows more than other small banners, which is basically the same as the general banner.
But Chen Mu is a combat unit, not a combat individual. The individual is Shao Tingda, Fu Yuan, Shi Qi and others during the Chen Xiaoqi period.
If Bai Yuanjie knew about the situation of the war, then Chen Mu might be five percent, or even one percent, or two percent, depending on Bai Baihu's mood and thoughts.
So as a combatant, that is, what the flag army knows, it may not know anything.
And this number may contain what they should know, or they may not know.
Sometimes it is a good thing for the flag army to know some news, which improves its combat effectiveness; and sometimes it is not good for the war when everyone knows it.
What's more, there are more than a hundred officers in a thousand households in the old system. Each of them has different personalities, choices, actions, likes and dislikes, and people talk a lot. They don't say what they should say, and talk nonsense about what they should not say. They talk nonsense about their subordinates and listen nonsense after listening nonsense. They are all possible.
In the Eastern Military Office, the things that the officers knew about and the things that the flag army knew about were respectively issued by the two systems of "the military offices were the general officers of each department, the general officers were the commander commander, and the commander commander, and the commander. The military offices were the chief officers of the propaganda department, the general prosecutors of the guards, and the guards of the guards of thousands of households, and the guards of the guards of thousands of households. Finally, they went directly to the propaganda officers of the small banners to the flag army.
The news before the war was cut off from all departments and Qianhu. According to military laws, they could not leak military information to subordinate officers. The pre-war mobilization of the Ministry of Revenue, interpreting information, boosting morale and inciting the propaganda officer of Qianhu was responsible for the responsibility of Qianhu. After communicating with Qianhu, the subordinate informed each soldier.
Under the restrictions of the times, the possibility of spreading rumors in the army is minimized, and the caliber of the words is unified...and the thought is unified.
The most obvious example of this system being used in the cavalry’s small flag officer Ying Ming was that on the third day after Shi Xiaolou returned to Changsheng, the thousand cavalry houses stationed in Changsheng ordered the training of urgent marches. Six cavalry houses under his command, two cavalry houses, and one cavalry cannon households, one cavalry and cannon households received the order and would perform different tasks around Changsheng in half an hour. The trained flag army gathered together to enter the combat state and led the marching baggage to advance to Wei Port on the east coast of New Spain.
Another infantry and artillery were dispatched with them, and the destination was Weigang.
Several troops were mobilized to the north and south respectively, and the entire Changsheng entered the training.
They advanced eastward at a fast march speed of 320 miles in three days. During the marching break, the propaganda officers under the cavalry told the flag army about what Shi Xiaolou saw and heard in England.
The central idea is a great humiliation, and Elizabeth of England is ill-intentioned; next they have to change their previous slightly relaxed state to train hard to deal with possible wars.
The road to Weigang was very long, but they arrived in just eight days. Ying Ming felt that his brain was about to be dispersed by the horse's back and had no chance to think.
But there is always someone who can.
During the two days of rest period after arriving at Weigang, three thousand households gathered to give lectures. On the way, they summoned the questions of the flag army that had the spare time to think about, and each summoned the hundred households under their command to give lectures. After answering all the questions one by one, they would copy them by the flag army. On the way after the rest, they answered questions and answered questions for the flag army.
Ying Ming held up a question: "The British came to Changsheng and asked for trade, but the Grand Marshal refused; the Grand Marshal sent people to England for trade, but the British also refused. Isn't this considered ill-intentioned?
Obviously, someone else asked the same question before. The propaganda officer was well prepared and replied: "If this is not the case, it is not the case, but the barbarians are not the only one. The conditions raised by the Grand Marshal were exactly the same as their request to us. He only changed the positions of the two countries, and the Barbarians wanted us to open wealth, take care of their merchants, etc.; the Grand Marshals asked them to open wealth, take care of the Ming merchants, etc.."
"They refused not to retaliate against the general, but rather to his parliament, which is similar to the dynasty. They finally agreed to think it is harmful to them, so they refused; they had previously submitted such harmful proposals to the Ming Dynasty, which was naturally a ill-intention."
Ying Ming took this answer all the way back to Changsheng, covering his butt and letting Bacon climb on the wall out of the cell.
At that time, he thought Bacon might die.
At the critical moment of this Eastern Military Palace preparing for the war, he was the only one in Asia from England. What does this mean?
It is already very telling that Shi Xiaolou fired him when he came back from Europe. In the past, he was an investment by Shi Xiaolou, but now he is useless to Shi Xiaolou.
Ying Ming felt that he was not as smart as Shi Xiaolou, and he would not be more knowledgeable than Shi Xiaolou, and was closer to the commander who had the right to start a war than Shi Xiaolou.
The war started, and with Shi Xiaolou's reaction... it was almost certain.
The propagandists did not do any extra incitement. The flag army already understood that if war started, it would be a war with the purpose of punishment, punishing their bad intentions.
Ying Ming only thought it was a bit ridiculous. Drake and Bacon came over and deserved a beating.
I disagree with the request you made, and I made the same request to you, you rejected it, saying that the request was bad - this way of thinking about the problem is stupid.
Not to mention that such conditions are unequal, even if it is equal.
Ask Spain, do you dare to talk about equality with the Ming Dynasty?
However, Ying Ming has no time to consider these issues.
Soon, the Dongyang Military Office allocated a batch of wool winter uniforms made last year to his direct subordinate Qianhu, with less than 500 sets, but Yingming's cavalry and 100 households had all staff.
The news came to his ears from the propagandist. Mr. Changji, the co-man of the fleet that set off from Panama last year, arrived on the east coast of Panama. When he learned of this news, the restoration army of King Ailan of the Ming Dynasty had already set off to Port Wei.
