Chapter 213 Chapter 213 The Military Commission's Expansion Plan
The allegiance of the Shimazu clan, the company planted a nail in Japan, and the significance of the company is very important. Gao Jianguo ordered the troops to return all the captured prisoners and captured equipment to Shimazu Tadahiro.
And the 100,000 taels of silver loaded in the No. 1 landing ship were also taken away by Shimazu Tadahiro. News of the war would soon spread throughout Japan, and the Satsuma Domain might be in disarray by now.
Since he decided to support the Shimazu clan, he had to rush back quickly to clean up the mess. In this battle, more than 30,000 troops of the Shimazu clan were wiped out by the Far East Combined Fleet, more than 10,000 were killed in the battle, nearly 10,000 were captured, and some fled in all directions.
But there was no shortage of samurai in Satsuma, and as long as he had silver, Shimazu Tadashi would be able to rearm a strong army in no time. And they didn't lose their armor and materials this time, as for other things, I'll talk about it later.
The most important thing now is that Shimazu Tadashi immediately appeared and waved the flag, scattered a large amount of silver, quickly quelled the chaos in Satsuma, and maintained the situation in Satsuma before the shogunate and the surrounding powerful feudal clans reacted.
Shimazu Tadashi was worthy of being a feudal lord for nearly twenty years, and it took only a few days to quickly calm down the situation in Satsuma. He also deliberately took all his retainers from Kagoshima Castle to Ibusuki and secretly conducted a formal retainer allegiance ceremony. It was like something, Gao Jianguo didn't take this seriously at all, and after dealing with it casually, he left Ibusuki.
The Combined Fleet returned to Tanegashima, leaving Liu Baoguo and a company of the Teaching Team, as well as 3,000 Ming soldiers, temporarily stationed here. Then he returned to the Ryukyus on the No. 1 landing ship.
At this time, Midtown Bay is very lively. Countless ships carrying grain were arriving from Siam, and these Siamese shipowners were frightened by the 10,000-ton ships in the harbor. One by one, they bowed and worshipped with all their hearts.
It wasn't until the grain on their ship was hoisted into a huge ship and driven away by a group of daredevils that they could be considered to react. Although there is a lot of grain, fortunately, there are dump cranes on huge wheels, and the process of loading grain is very fast.
By the time Gao Jianguo and the No. 1 landing ship rushed back, all the food was almost loaded in an emergency. Gao Jianguo stayed here for a day and went to Shuri Castle.
Seeing Shang Feng again, Gao Jianguo was taken aback. It was found that he was much older. This period of time can make Shang Feng worried. When the tiger and wolf army of the Satsuma Domain invaded Shuri Castle to burn and loot, that scene is still vivid in my mind.
So during the time Gao Jianguo left, he didn't sleep well. Although he knew that the strength of the Far East was strong. But after all, there are few people. Satsuma Domain, that is famous for its many generals.
Until I saw Gao Jianguo again. He was relieved. When it was heard that the Far East had defeated Satsuma. also took back the northern five islands of Ryukyu, Shang Feng instantly became a few years younger, and he was excited and immediately threw a feast. Got drunk.
The next day, Shang Feng handed over the Amami Goto and Kume Islands in the north to the Far East Company, and the formalities were all in place. Shang Feng can finally sleep soundly now, and the Satsuma Domain has always been a sharp sword hanging over the head of their Ryukyu Kingdom, making it difficult for Shang Feng to sleep and eat all the time.
A few days later, the No. 1 landing ship and the 10,000-ton giant ship loaded with more than 20,000 tons of rice slowly sailed away from Zhonggang Bay. A large number of Ryukyu people gathered on the beach, and almost all the people of the main island of Okinawa came. Shang Feng also brought hundreds of officials from the Ryukyu Kingdom to send him off, and the scene was very spectacular.
Gao Jianguo did not dare to delay all the way, and drove directly to Vladivostok, now everyone in the company is looking forward to the return of them and Li Ming and Song Tao, if they can't buy food, everyone will have to tighten their stomachs before the autumn harvest in Vladivostok this year.
Gao Jianguo led a 10,000-ton giant ship, loaded with more than 20,000 tons of grain back to Vladivostok, which made the company breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, the food gap was blocked, and there was no panic when I had food in my hand.
The No. 1 sailboat slowly sailed into the Golden Horn Bay, slowly docked on the pier, and Li Ming and Song Tao stepped off the sailboat. Gao Jianguo, Wang He and others had been waiting on the dock for a long time.
Gao Jianguo held Li Ming and Song Tao's hands and said with a smile: "How about this trip to Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" Is there anything to gain. ”
Li Ming said with a wry smile: "I have bought a lot of grain, and now Song Shiping is organizing people to send it to Ulling Island, and he has bought more than 10,000 tons in total, but the price is a little high, plus the foot fee of the round-trip ship, it is a big loss." ”
Wang He laughed when he heard this: "Even if you succeed in buying food, you have solved the company's food problem just along the way." Coupled with the more than 20,000 tons that Lao Gao bought in Siam, we don't have to worry about food anymore. The extra grain can be used as a strategic reserve for our company to cope with the food crisis caused by unexpected situations. ”
Song Tao said to Gao Jianguo with a smile: "Our more than 10,000 tons of grain, it took a lot of effort to raise, not to mention how difficult it is, it is estimated that the price of grain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will rise next year." It's good that you can get so much in one boat, and it seems that Siam really has a lot of rice. ”
A few days later, several managing directors of the company gathered together, they hadn't been so together for a long time, and even Qiao Haipeng and Hu Wei had specially rushed back from Biquge www.biquge.info Town.
Everyone gathered this time to summarize the work of the recent period, and then make arrangements for the next step of the company's work. Set the tone for the upcoming meeting of the Board of Directors Committee of the Whole Committee.
Since the company's immigration spike this year, the company's original plans have been disrupted, causing a food crisis. So during this time, everyone was running around for food. Fortunately, Li Ming and Gao Jianguo successfully completed their tasks, and the grain purchased this time was close to 40,000 tons, which greatly exceeded the original plan.
While they completed their respective grain purchase plans, they also had unexpected harvests. Li Ming helped Song Shiping get out of the predicament and saved his family. and let him gain a firm foothold in Suzhou City, helping Song Shiping sweep the sea areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so that he has his own power in this sea area.
With Song Shiping's cunzài, the company nailed a nail in the Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty. The role of the future is absolutely limitless. Now Song Shiping and the families of those old brothers around him have settled down on the island. Although a lot of silver was used to buy grain this time, Lao Heilang and the Liao family paid for it, and Li Ming did not spend a penny of the silver he brought.
Gao Jianguo's harvest this time is even greater, needless to say the six islands of the Ryukyus. Just getting the allegiance of the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma domain is already an immeasurable gain.
They also conquered Tanegashima and found more than 2,000 craftsmen, as well as a large number of Tanegashima iron cannons, katanas, and other weapons. I also found a foothold in Japan.
Qiao Haipeng reported to everyone on the sneak attack of the Jin armed forces after the collapse of Ningguta in the www.biquge.info town of Biquge.
He smiled bitterly: "None of us thought that the guard of Houjin in Ningguta, Sagali, actually came up with this desperate idea, he purely wanted to mess us up here, and fooled a bunch of stupid tribes to make cannon fodder for them, but fortunately, we were relatively well prepared, so we successfully disintegrated their sneak attack, and the final loss was not big."
Next year, we may have to face the threat from Houjin, and I hope that Huang Taiji can recognize the form and not cause trouble for us. The company needs time to develop now, and it can't be guarded against it like a thief every day. No matter how good the defense is, there is no value in the perfect intelligence system. ”
Li Ming nodded and said: "I have discussed with Lao Gao, I am going to talk to Zhou Billy alone, after all, he is such a talent, we are the only one here." Now that you've joined our collective, you have to do something to help. ”
Gao Jianguo thought for a while and said: "This year's military mission has basically come to an end, and the next thing is to prepare for a military struggle for the Houjin armed forces that may appear in the north of Vladivostok next year."
The next step is to expand the army, first of all, the two training battalions will be upgraded to two regiment-level units, each regiment will have three training battalions, one artillery battalion, and one battalion directly under the regiment. The personnel are selected from among the outstanding soldiers of the garrison battalion, and the backbone non-commissioned officers and grassroots platoon commanders of the unit are the first veterans of the teaching team.
On the basis of the two garrison battalions, an independent garrison brigade was established, with six garrison battalions and one battalion directly under the brigade. The personnel were selected from among the outstanding militiamen of the musket militia battalion, but one point was particularly pointed out that none of the backbone and platoon commanders of the militia company were allowed to move, and it was a pity that these people were soldiers because they were good seedlings of our civilian grassroots cadres.
This time, I led the Ming soldiers on Jeju Island on a military mission to attack the Satsuma Domain. There are many good soldiers, but the foundation has not been laid well, and they have been mixed in the Ming army for a long time, and the bad habits on their bodies have been deeply rooted, which is contrary to the standards of our army building, which is really a pity. But after our training, their combat effectiveness is not weak at all.
In the future, the battlefields we face will be diverse, and the forms of warfare will be different, so they will also be used. We set up the company's overseas corps, and initially established three brigade-level combat units, each brigade has six battalions, and the total number of the brigade is 3,000 people. The overseas territories of these companies are stationed on Jeju Island in Korea, Tanegashima Island in Japan, Kume Island in the Ryukyus, and Manila in Luzon.
The backbone of the company platoon of the overseas corps is selected from among the veterans of the training corps, and these soldiers take turns to go out for training for a year, return to the Vladivostok land school for further study, and then go down to the army to lead the troops.
The Death Army Brigade will also expand its army accordingly, Fujita and their next step is to return to Japan to pick up the families of the Death Army samurai with the army, and this time they will also recruit a group of relatively traditional Japanese samurai to form the Death Army Wing, with three brigades and a total of 1,500 people.
The mountain battalion has also been expanded into a regimental combat unit, with three mountain battalions and one battalion directly under the regiment. The Type 1629 60-mm mortar and Type 1629 snibter rifle, which were successfully developed by the arsenal, are ready for mass assembly and production, and priority is given to equipping mountain regiments.
