Although there are such and such hardships, the food for this year's winter training is very rich. Every morning, the bud rice flour cake is enough, and the non-staple food is pickles and a salted fish. At noon and in the evening, two meals of white rice are enough, and the non-staple food is whale meat, fish and chicken produced by the company's farm, supplemented by mushroom fungus in the center of the mushroom, and vegetables such as kimchi, sauerkraut, radish, potatoes, snow mushroom, and Chinese cabbage stored in winter.

In the past three months, the physical fitness of a group of militiamen has been significantly enhanced, and they have also survived the almost cruel training of the ruffian instructors, as well as all kinds of sarcasm and rectification. Now it's easy to keep up with the pace. The indigenous militia learned discipline and absolute obedience, while the musket militia developed a good body. The individual soldier of each militia has improved greatly.

And they finally escaped from the sea of suffering, and the ruffian instructors of the overseas brigade also completed their mission and left the militia winter training camp. Let a group of militiamen who have suffered for three months burst into tears, and these plague gods have finally rolled their calves.

For the next four months, the instructors of the mountain regiment took over the whip of the ruffians and continued to train the militiamen. Although the training is as hard as it is, you will be punished for doing the wrong thing. But at least there is no one who is like a ruffian instructor looking for fault every day, and he can't hear the vicious sarcasm and abuse. Moreover, the arrival of a large number of political cadres also made the hard-pressed militiamen, who had been suffering from suffering, feel the warmth of spring.

The militia camps, which had been broken up and mixed with the indigenous militia and the mountain militia, were reinstated to form their own company formations, forming musket militia companies and mountain indigenous militia companies.

Moreover, the content of their training has also completely changed, and the boring training subjects such as queues, military postures, internal affairs, physical fitness, and basic movements of individual soldiers have also been replaced by tactical subjects such as tactical movements, company and platoon coordination, basic street fighting, and musket array shooting.

Under the leadership of the instructors of the mountain regiment, they also carried out several long-distance mountain training marches, and each training was also carried out in bad wind and snow weather. Not only did they have to trek through the deep mountains and old forests covered by heavy snow. It is also necessary to conduct various live-fire exercises.

The second-line auxiliary troops have various abilities such as attacking villages and towns in mountainous environments, patrolling and carrying out duties, supporting materials on the fire line, cleaning up the battlefield, camping in the field environment, establishing temporary defensive positions in an emergency, sentry sentry sentry, open and secret sentry, sweeping and searching for the remnants of the enemy, escorting baggage, battlefield rescue, capturing and guarding prisoners, etc.

Liu Degui also participated in the whole winter training, and the platoon commanders of these militia companies served as the squad leaders of the temporary militia platoon. Although those soldiers and ruffians can still give some face to their squad leaders, many things are turned a blind eye. But if you do something wrong, you will be punished, but there will be less vicious sarcasm.

He gritted his teeth. finally survived three months of suffering, but he always had a question in his heart. This time, the winter training of their musket militia company is too much, it is said that the company's previous battles have nothing to do without their militia, should they also go to the battlefield?

Although he had such doubts in his heart, he did not believe that the militia would go into battle with the regular army of the Military Commission. After all, the Military Commission already has tens of thousands of regular troops, and it is not the turn of the militia to go to the front.

The next four months surprised Liu Degui even more. In the past four months, the subjects of the winter training have not been touched before, look at this posture. Perhaps these militiamen may actually go to war.

Thinking of this, Liu Degui's heart also became excited. The company has been spreading some gossip in private, saying that the company may want to fight the Tartars in Liaodong, if the news is true, then he will also be able to go to the battlefield to kill the Tartars.

As the militia's winter training came to an end, Liu Degui felt more and more that was the case. Because a large number of supplies were transported to the militia winter training camp, almost piled up several temporary warehouses outside the camp.

The Central Military Commission also dispatched a large number of cadres to conduct a regular and strict assessment of this year's militia. The assessment results of the mountain natives are quite good. After all, they are very good on their own, plus they have been training hard for several months. It is also natural to have good assessment results.

The militia of the musket militia company has also made a qualitative leap in the assessment results compared with the original. Although it is not yet comparable to the indigenous militia, it is much better than the indigenous militia in terms of organizational discipline and teamwork projects.

The indigenous militia is based on a platoon of 50 people per village, and the three platoons form an indigenous militia company. Nearly 200 companies of indigenous militias have been formed. This also includes the youth of a group of villages that have been mobilized. Three Aboriginal militia companies, together with a 100-man artillery battery, form an Aboriginal militia battalion.

Each native platoon was equipped with 10 arquebuses, including iron cannons made in various parts of Japan and muskets from the Netherlands and Spain. The others were still armed with bows, arrows, knives and guns, and wore a variety of armor, with only the green helmets being uniform. Artillery platoon of an indigenous militia battalion. It has two small Furlong machine cannons and eight tiger guns.

In principle, the natives had to bring their own horses, which were mostly provided by their respective villages. However, the horses that carried supplies and ammunition all the way were provided by the company. The food and clothing of the indigenous militia is also provided by the company. They will also receive a war allowance during the war phase, which can be received by a person designated by the indigenous militia to be collected in the company's various towns.

The choice of labor and goods is up to the natives themselves. Then there are the regulations on the distribution of war spoils, the regulations on the pension for casualties and disability, and the regulations on the redemption of war merits, all of which are clearly distributed to the indigenous villages.

The musket militia company selected militia with excellent assessment results, formed the first batch of 50 musket militia companies, and went to the Tatar hinterland by boat with the main force to serve as the second-line auxiliary force of the main force.

There were 100 musket militia companies on standby in Mudanjiang Town. As soon as the main forces are advancing smoothly on the front line, they will also go to the theater of operations by boat. Perform tasks such as public security patrols, alerts, and the collection of Liao people in the rear of the theater.

The militiamen of each musket militia company are issued with Russian-style steel helmets, chest armor, standard leather backpacks and other standard equipment, and their weapons are still front-loading rifled muskets. The arquebuses issued by the indigenous militias also converted the arquebus ignition device into a fire cap type excitation device, which greatly improved the firing speed and reliability of the musket.

The major enterprises in Vladivostok, the iron and steel complex in the town of Bac Ninh, were working at full speed all winter to produce all kinds of war materials. The stamping equipment of the machinery factory stamps out the cold-rolled front chest plate armor day and night, and then drills and trims the edges on the equipment. Finally, it is sent to the company's leather processing plant for bundling leather accessories. A piece of chest plate armor is considered complete.

There are also green helmets worn by indigenous militias, which are also stamped and molded on modern equipment, and then finally produced by the company's leather goods factory. The indigenous militia got its name from the "Green Berets", and of course, the military council ruffians generally called them "Green Hat Troops" because of the green color of their helmets. It's just verdant and verdant.

Several food processing factories in Vladivostok worked overtime every day to produce field rations and canned food for all kinds of troops participating in the war, and the canned whale meat and fish meat produced in the past year or so alone filled the combat readiness warehouses of the major logistics subdivisions in the eastern and western theaters.

The reserves of gasoline, diesel, and heavy fuel oil produced at the Sakhalin Petrochemical Base in recent years have also been transported to the newly built logistics and combat readiness oil depots in Lushun and Haiyang Island. During the war, a 5,000-ton product oil tanker will sail to the waters near Gaizhou on the coast of eastern Liaodong and directly throw the hose oil pipeline onto the shore to ensure the supply of oil for all vehicles in the western theater.

Military factories have been operating at full capacity. The workers of the bullet and artillery shell production line work in four shifts, 24 hours a day, and the bullets and shells produced in large quantities are packed and transported to the front-line warehouses for war readiness.

As the weather gradually warmed, the spring of 1633 also arrived.

The Golden Horn in Vladivostok, the icebreaker that hasn't been used much since it was bought, has been particularly busy this spring. The frozen waters of the Golden Horn were opened in early March. A 10,000-ton ship and three landing ships slowly sailed into the Golden Horn. A few days later, they sailed away from Vladivostok and sailed all the way to Port Arthur.

At this time, the sea surface of Liaodong was already full of tense atmosphere. Eighteen Slutp sloops, sloops, and six clippers arrived in the Liaodong Sea from several southern islands, and they were accompanied by hundreds of Junk pirate ships from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Together with the Jeju Island Coast Guard, they formed the Liaodong Alert Fleet. A complete blockade of the Liaodong Sea was carried out.

Of course, at this time, the coast of Liaodong has just thawed, and there are still very few ships on the sea. However, as soon as they found an unknown ship on the sea, they would immediately seize it and send it to the islands of the Dongjiang River. As long as you dare to flee or resist sinking on the spot.

When two 10,000-ton ships and three landing ships arrived at Port Arthur, the entire coast of the Liaodong Peninsula had been completely sealed. Even the entire Korean coast is within the closed range of the Liaodong Alert Fleet.

The 10,000-ton bulk carrier docked at the wharf of Lushun Port, and used the ship's own boom to lift a large number of materials and vehicles to the wharf of Lushun Port. The three landing ships also opened their front tongue doors one after another, and armored vehicles and automobiles roared and rushed to the dock.

At the same time, a large number of offshore and inland river deck barges sailed from Jeju Island and Ocean Island. They sailed north along the coastline of the North Korean coast to Port Arthur. A large number of barges form a fleet on the sea. It is like a vast and surging dragon, and the momentum is quite spectacular.

In Lushun City, Huang Long and a group of Ming troops were depressed in the city, and the Far East, which had been fighting with their well water and not violating the river water, suddenly went crazy a few days ago and closed Lushun City to death. Everyone is not allowed to leave Arthur City one step, and the offender will be beheaded.

At this time, Huang Long was getting together with a group of Ming soldiers, pondering what the Far East meant by doing this. Suddenly, a shrill whistle was heard in the distance. Huang Long and Li Weiluan and Tan Yinghua beside him were all stunned.

"Your Excellency...... My lord...... Boat, big ship......"

One of Huanglong's family members ran in panting, his face was full of horror, and he opened his mouth to say for a long time without explanation. Huang Long said angrily: "What are you panicking about? Big ships, those big iron ships in the Far East are not something you haven't seen, useless guys. ”

After he finished scolding, he walked up to the city head of Lushun with Li Weiluan and Tan Yinghua, and when Huanglong came to the city wall, he found that the Ming army had gathered here, all of them looked sluggish, with a frightened face and a stunned look in the distance.

Huang Long also felt strange, he walked to the female wall and looked into the distance. It doesn't matter if you look at this, on the edge of the newly built dock in the Far East, there is a behemoth moored, and the steel giant ship dozens of feet long makes Huang Long's eyes dark.

His body shook, and he almost fell to the ground, but several family members quickly supported him. Huang Long slowly closed his eyes, and lamented in his heart, Da Ming is finished...... (To be continued......)
