Qiu Changshui secretly sighed in his heart, the Nanyang Navy really has a new army atmosphere, and the daily drills of the Eight Banners Green Battalion are not even three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, so it is like the Nanyang Navy to practice every day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Glancing at Cai Shengde, who was leading the way in front, he said tentatively: "Yi Junmen is training recruits in the new camp these days? ”

Cai Shengde glanced back at him and said, "Lord Qiu, it's best not to ask, Junmen is not only the governor of Nanyang, but also the counselor minister of the expedition to Annam, and his whereabouts are easily not leaked to the public." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Changshui was speechless for a while, and he didn't talk much at the moment, and followed all the way to the mountainside outside the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw Yi Zhishu standing outside the tent in military uniform.

"You don't need to be polite." Yi Zhishu said and stretched out his hand and said, "Two of you, please." ”

"Sir, please." Qiu Changshui hurriedly bowed and bowed.

Entering the big tent, Yi Zhizhi sat down on the main seat of the golden knife, and the two people who saw it didn't dare to sit down, and couldn't help but smile, "You don't need to be too restrained in front of this lord, sit." The two of them sat down with their hands in their hands, and he asked directly: "The two of you came to see Benjue today, I don't know what is important?" ”

Qiu Changshui hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The lord sits in Dinghai, supervises the navy for the imperial court, and the lower official is the magistrate of Dinghai, and he should do his best to ......." ”

Yi Zhizhi laughed and said, "Don't cherish the people's power anymore? Don't you feel sorry that the land has been encroached upon? ”

Qiu Changshui is not an official oil, he was squeezed on the spot by Yi Zhicontent, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, and Tang Renhui, the county leader, hurriedly laughed when he saw this: "Conscription and occupation of land are all for the needs of preparing for the construction of the Nanyang Navy, and the Dinghai County government should fully cooperate." ”

Qiu Changshui hesitated, but said: "Xiaguan is not ignorant of the severity, it's just that Dinghai is already a narrow land, and the navy has repeatedly recruited and expanded the camp, not only hurting the people, but also taking away the people's livelihood. ”

This guy is a tendon, no wonder he was so stiff with Chen Hongming, Yi Zhixiang glanced at him and said, "Lord Qiu is here to fight with Benjue today?" ”

"The lower officials don't dare." Qiu Changshui hurriedly bowed.

Seeing that the two of them were in a hurry to talk, and there was a tendency to talk stiffly, Tang Renhui hurriedly said: "The military gate is angry, and the adults are also thinking about the Nanyang Navy, Dinghai and Mountains have more land and less land, and it is difficult for ordinary people to be self-sufficient, and now that there are tens of thousands of navies, it is even more stretched, even if the grain can be transported from outside, fresh fruits, vegetables and meat still have to rely on local ......" ”

"Fresh fruits, vegetables and meat, just rely on Dinghai locally, I'm afraid it can't be supplied." Yi Zhizhi said: "The Nanyang Navy will add new recruits year by year in the future, and once the military camp should be supplied, Benjue will plan properly, and the two of you don't need to worry about this." ”

After a pause, he continued: "The Nanyang Navy camp is located in Dinghai, this is an unchangeable fact, as the parents of Dinghai, the two of them cannot blindly stick to the old ways, but should change their thinking, as the so-called everything has disadvantages must be beneficial, and advantages must also have disadvantages.

The navy is in Dinghai, requisitioning people's manpower, and encroaching on land, which is a disadvantage, you might as well think about it, what benefits will the Nanyang Navy camp set up in Dinghai bring to the people of Dinghai? What will be the result of blindly opposing the expropriation of people's power and encroaching on land? It can only intensify the contradictions! ”

"Changing your mind?" Qiu Changshui hesitated.

"Yes, change your mind." Yi Zhishu said and took a cigar, and while cutting the eggplant with a cigar cutter, he said: "You should regard the Nanyang Navy camp in Dinghai as a rare opportunity, why do you say it is an opportunity?" Because in this way, it will greatly promote the development of Dinghai in all aspects!

Tens of thousands of naval officers and men will greatly promote the prosperity of Dinghai's commerce and trade, and the navy will bring a large number of employment opportunities to Dinghai, and a large amount of manpower is required to build docks, barracks, docks, roads, etc., in addition to normal conscription, they can get ...... wages. ”

Hearing this, Qiu Changshui said happily: "Is this true? ”

Yi Zhixiang lit his cigar and said: "Naturally, it is true, the construction of the navy in Dinghai will be long-term, and it will not be possible to levy conscription all year round." After a pause, he continued: "The navy's food requirements are high, which has greatly promoted the local fishery, aquaculture, and planting industries.

In general, the navy will be headquartered in Dinghai, absolutely the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, you are the local parents, do not blindly with the psychology of resistance, this will greatly affect the attitude of the local gentry and businessmen towards the navy, easy to cause the confrontation between the military and the people, the navy in Dinghai, is the need for the local people's strong support and support, only the army loves the people, the people support the army, the army and the people are like a family, the navy in Dinghai can be like a fish in water. ”

The army loves the people, the people support the army, and the army and the people are like a family? This proposal is novel, Qiu Changshui breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and it was easy to know that this Nanyang Admiral could think like this, it would definitely be a blessing or a curse for the people of Dinghai.

Leaving the dock by boat, Qiu Changshui had been silent, Tang Renhui couldn't help but say: "This trip can be described as a great joy, what are you worried about?" ”

Qiu Changshui shook his head slightly, and said with a reluctant smile: "The army loves the people, the people support the army, the army and the people are like a family, Yi Junmen has such an idea, what else can he worry about?" ”

Tang Renhui glanced at him, but he didn't want to ask too much, but he had some expectations in his heart, wanting to see if the navy could be as close as a family between the military and the people.

At dusk, the new camp was quiet, and the recruits who had practiced for a day ushered in a rare period of relaxation and leisure after dinner, after dinner, bathing, laundry, and foot soaking, the recruits either hung out in the tent or walked on the playground.

After Su Shun cleaned up neatly, he waited until it was dark, and then he took four or five disciples of the sect Jueluo who had a good relationship to the outside of the Chinese army's big tent, and when he saw a figure reflected in the candlelight, he said loudly: "Report." ”

Yi Zhi, who was reading by candlelight, said without raising his head: "Come in." After waiting for Su Shun and a few mermaids to enter, he put down the book and said with a smile: "No formality, just sit casually." ”

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Su Shun was relaxed, and casually pulled a small pestle to sit down, and then chuckled: "As soon as I entered the barracks, I was uncomfortable and ......uncomfortable." ”

"Doesn't it feel like being on an errand in the palace?" Yi Zhicontent smiled.

"That's how it feels!" Su Shun said with a smile: "There are a lot of rules, for fear of making a mistake and provoking punishment." ”

Zaizhao said with a sigh of relief: "The barracks are worse than the palace, the palace has committed a crime, and it is only me who has been punished, but in the barracks, if one person commits a crime, the whole class, the whole platoon, and even the whole company and the whole battalion will be punished together, which is not fair." ”

Hearing this, Yi Zhizhi smiled, "Do you know why this is the case?" This is because, on the battlefield, a person's mistake can bring ruin to the squad and platoon or even the company battalion, especially the officer, even a very small mistake will make your subordinates pay the price of blood and even life. ”

Saying that, he looked at Zaizhao and said, "Do you understand?" The reason why the barracks adopts the method of sitting together is to let every soldier understand that they are not a single person, but a collective, and that any soldier is closely related to his squad, platoon, company and battalion, sharing honor and disgrace, and even life and death. ”

"Xie Junmen for teaching!" Zaizhao said solemnly.

Yi Zhishu nodded, he is quite familiar with this Zaizhao, this guy is the great-grandson of Prince Rongchun, the fifth son of Qianlong, Aixin Jueluo Yongqi, an authentic Tianhuang noble, his brother attacked Viscount Bei, he has not yet reached the age of the examination, and he has no title, this time he came to the navy, this guy is holding back his strength to fight for his merits.

Su Shun said thoughtfully: "In this way, the rules in the barracks should all have a deep meaning?" ”

"Not bad." Yi Zhizu said: "This is actually a kind of intensive training, the more mistakes are made, the more times they are punished, everyone will realize this, remember that actions are always more convincing than words." ”

"The military is no more than two years older than us." Zaizhao said tentatively: "When the military gate was founded to practice in the Yuanqi regiment, it should be as big as us, these military regulations and military aircraft, the method of military training, the military gate was learned from Western books?" ”

Yi Zhixiang smiled and didn't answer, all countries in Europe should have military textbooks, but he had really seen it, if he learned it from books, he really couldn't take out the books, so he immediately changed the topic and said: "Can you tell me about your understanding of the country?" ”

"For the emperor, home is the country, and the country is home."

"Then for the ordinary gentry, businessmen and ordinary people, what is the state?"

"Fight the world, sit on the country, the country is the country."

"Do we have clear borders in our country?"

This question stopped a few people, hesitated, and Su Shuncai said: "Some places have clear boundary divisions, but most places should not have them. ”

Yi Zhishu then asked: "Does our vassal state of the Great Qing Dynasty belong to the Great Qing Dynasty?" ”

This question stopped everyone again, although they are all children of the clan Jueluo, but almost no one cares about state affairs on weekdays, let alone the affairs of the vassal country, after a while, Su Shuncai said uncertainly: "It should be, the king of the vassal country needs to be canonized by my Qing Emperor in order to be justified, since even the king is a courtier, then the people and land of the vassal country should also belong to our Qing Dynasty." ”

"It's not." Yi Zhizhi said in a deep voice: "As the suzerain, when the Qing Dynasty has strong military strength, it only interferes in the diplomacy and military affairs of the vassal state, and does not interfere in the internal affairs of the vassal state, according to the European concept of sovereignty, the vassal state is a sovereign state, but the sovereignty is not complete, and there is no independent sovereignty, unless the suzerainty agrees."

The most striking sign is that the Qing Dynasty could not station troops on the territory of the vassal state as it pleased, of course, the conquest was a special period, therefore, the suzerainty and the vassal state did not belong to the same country, that is, the territory of the vassal state of the Qing Dynasty did not belong to the Qing Dynasty. ”

"I'm confused." Su Shun said with a smile: "Annan is a vassal state of our Qing Dynasty, if the territory belongs to our Qing Dynasty, where will the military exploits of expanding the territory come from?" ”

"That's right." Yi Zhi nodded his head and said: "However, do you know that the Western powers are also suzerains, but their overseas colonies and vassal states are not the same concept, and overseas colonies are the territories of the suzerains overseas. ”

Su Shun's mind was smart, and he said tentatively: "The meaning of the military gate is to turn the vassal states of the Great Qing Dynasty into colonies like the colonies of the Western suzerainty, and turn all of them into the territory of the Great Qing Dynasty?" ”

"Not all." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "Everyone knows that there are many strategic places in land warfare, that is, the so-called battleground for soldiers, and the same is true for naval warfare. ”

"Annan also belongs to the battleground of soldiers?"

"Not bad." Yi Zhizhi said: "Annexing Annam, our Nanyang Navy will be able to contain Nanyang." Speaking of this, he took half of the cigar and lit it and took a slow puff before saying: "We have to come in and absorb some good things in Europe, European countries attach great importance to sovereignty, and countries have very clear borders, which we must learn."

Our concept of the country is extremely vague, simply put, it is still following the thousand-year-old view of the world, there is no clear national boundary, and now the Western countries are eyeing our Qing Dynasty, if the concept of the country is not clear, and the Western countries will suffer a big loss in the future. ”

Zai Zhao said with great interest: "How can we clarify the boundaries of our Qing Dynasty?" ”

"Change the strategy of guarding the middle and governing the border, and guarding the border in Siyi." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "Our Qing Dynasty is to defend the southeast with Ryukyu, the northeast with North Korea, the northwest with Mongolia, and the southwest with Annan. With the exception of Mongolia, which had long been explicitly incorporated into the territory of the Qing Dynasty, the other three countries were all vassal states.

In order to clearly demarcate the boundaries of the Qing Dynasty, we must include these three important vassal states in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, so that the northeast, southeast, and southwest boundaries of the Qing Dynasty can be clearly defined. ”

Change the strategy of guarding the middle and governing the border and guarding the border in Siyi? Bring Korea, Ryukyu, and Annam into the territory of the Qing Dynasty! Su Shun and Zaizhao were excited and worried, the policy of guarding the border in Siyi has been around for a long time, how could the imperial court easily change it? The excitement is that the imperial court has made up its mind to conquer Annam, and has the intention of incorporating Annam into the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

took out his pocket watch and looked at it, Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "I have to get up early tomorrow, go back and rest early, I tell you, if your physical fitness is not up to par, it is absolutely impossible to serve as an officer, the army pays attention to fairness and justice, you don't have any luck." ”

"Rest assured!" Su Shun hurriedly got up and said, "Let's guarantee that we can achieve good." (To be continued.) )
