Chapter 205: Hurry up and fight
Jeju Island also formed the Jeju Island Garrison District, with Wang Yaowu as the commander of the garrison area. Because a large number of immigrants were scattered all over Jeju Island, only 6,000 Ming army soldiers were left in the camp for training.
These soldiers were all selected by Wang Yaowu from more than 10,000 immigrants, all of whom were in good health, and they were veterans who had been in the army for many years and had fought the battlefield and Tatars.
The soldiers and ruffians who participated in the training had three better meals than ordinary immigrants, and they could eat as much as they wanted, and they could also get a few pieces of meat or fish for lunch every day, so when Wang Yaowu picked up the troops, these soldiers broke their heads in order to be selected.
When they were soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, they only had two meals a day and were not full. Where have I ever seen such food, they are hungry every day, lying on the fence outside the camp at noon, watching others eat meat.
The ordinary soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had poor food and low status, and they had to be deducted from their salaries, and the generals above treated the soldiers below like slaves. In this era, the vast majority of the Ming army soldiers were just to eat together, and they couldn't eat such a good meal even during the New Year.
Some of the ruffians know the people in the camp, and they all know that these people have made a lot of money in North Korea, not to mention how envious these soldiers outside the camp are.
But when these soldiers entered the training camp, they learned that the meat was not so tasty. The 5-kilometer cross-country twice a day in the morning and evening, during the day is eight hours of training, queues, troops, posture, physical fitness, equipment, obstacles, musket shooting, earthwork and other subjects, every day is full. often stand in a military posture all morning, and oil these casual veterans. It's like being tormented in purgatory.
Zhou Weifan and Zhao Si dragged their tired bodies and found a place to sit down next to the camp. It's a training break every morning, and they have a twenty-minute break.
"Lao Zhou, you said that they are so desperate to harm us, are they going to fight again?"
Zhou Weifan listened to Zhao Si's words, nodded and said, "I'm afraid that there will be another war, or why bother to train so hard every day." Even Grandpa Qi practiced the army back then, and he didn't have to go out to drill every day. ”
Zhao Si laughed when he heard this: "Hurry up and fight, this is so day by day, I am almost tired to death." Ha ha...... We'll be able to be soldiers in this war. I don't know if I can make another profit like last time. ”
Zhao Si took out a worn cloth bag from the military satchel next to him. Then he opened it carefully, and slowly counted the silver and money inside. This was secretly looted in North Korea last time. Since returning to Jeju Island, he has been counting several times a day.
Suddenly, a shrill whistle sounded on the pier next to the migrant camp. The ruffians in the camp. They all sat up straight. Look over to the docks.
Landing Ship No. 1 slowly approached the dock. Slowly, the huge front tongue door opened. Zhao Si jumped up as soon as he "soared". He pointed to the No. 1 landing ship that had just docked, and laughed: "Old Zhou, the ship is coming." I feel like I'm going to have a war this time, haha......"
Zhou Weifan turned his head to look at the dock and said with a smile: "Is there still a shortage of ships coming this time, how do you know that this ship is here to pick us up for war." ”
Zhao Si laughed and said: "Have you forgotten that last time in North Korea, wasn't it this kind of ship that could open its mouth wide, and we went to fight with it." Lao Tzu also made a lot of money. Ha ha...... God forbid, hurry up and fight......"
Gao Jianguo stepped down from the No. 1 landing ship. Guo Song, Wang Yaowu, and the heads of various departments on Jeju Island were waiting to greet Gao Jianguo on the pier. Everyone came to the garrison headquarters of the migrant camp together.
As soon as they sat down, Guo Song asked Gao Jianguo on behalf of everyone about going to Siam to buy grain. When they learned that the grain purchase trip to Siam was going very smoothly, everyone was very excited.
Now the company is very concerned about Li Ming and Gao Jianguo's situation of going out to buy grain, after all, this is the life-saving grain and grass in Vladivostok before the harvest this autumn. This time, they put their hearts in their stomachs, and Gao Jianguo alone bought back more than 20,000 tons of grain, which was enough to make up for the food gap before the autumn harvest in Vladivostok, and they were also greatly rich.
After everyone dispersed, only Gao Jianguo and Wang Yaowu were left in the house. Gao Jianguo said solemnly: "How many people are training on Jeju Island now? ”
Wang Yaowu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There are 6,000 people who are training now, and they have been training for more than a month. ”
Gao Jianguo nodded and said, "How many can go to the battlefield?" Help me pick out some, I'm going to use them soon. ”
"These veteran ruffians have been in the Ming army for many years, including deserters from Dongjiang Town, as well as those from the original Liao Town, and even a lot of soldiers and horses from all walks of life in the Guan. There is nothing to say about a single soldier, and he can go to the battlefield with a knife, which is poor military discipline, and there are generally various vices of the Ming army. ”
When Gao Jianguo heard this, he said with a smile: "Then you pick out 3,000 for me, I will go to fight the Satsuma Domain, the people in my hands have let me stay in Ryukyu, and those Siamese ships transporting grain will arrive soon, that is a big deal, and there need to be enough people to protect it." ”
Wang Yaowu said with a smile: "Although the Satsuma Domain is a strong Japanese domain, does it take so much effort to deal with them?" ”
Gao Jianguo shook his head and said, "It's easy to defeat them, but we're going to cripple them this time, and it's not easy for the Shimazu family to go south to Ryukyu without the strength to do so." After all, we are such a small number of people, and the Satsuma Domain is so big, once they know our strength and hide the elite, we really have no problem. After all, we don't have that energy. So we have to find a way to force them to fight a decisive battle with us, and destroy their main force in one fell swoop. ”
Wang Yaowu nodded, then lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "Now we have four sailboats, two armed fishing boats, and dozens of wooden warships captured from North Korea on Jeju Island. Since you have decided to fight the Satsuma Domain, you can simply follow you with four sailboats and two armed fishing boats. You should also bring more people, anyway, it is the coastal raids of the Satsuma Domain, and it would be perfect to take this group of soldiers and ruffians to do this work. ”
Gao Jianguo thought for a while and said: "Then your coastal defense of Jeju Island is fine, what if the North Koreans kill them again." ”
Wang Yaowu laughed and said: "Old battalion commander, now I have to give North Korea two more dares, and they don't dare to come." Last time, it really blinded them, and they were so scared that they didn't even dare to come to the waters near Jeju Island. I'll help you choose 3,000 Ming army ruffians who dare to fight, and let the first company, the second company and the artillery company of the teaching team, plus the two companies of Fujita and the daredevils, as well as the automobile platoon and artillery company of the Military Commission, all follow. This kind of strength is enough to deal with the Satsuma Domain. ”
When Gao Jianguo heard this, he also had a bottom in his heart, such strength, even if he went to fight the Tokugawa shogunate, it was enough. Moreover, there are 3,000 Ming soldiers who have been on the battlefield, as well as the artillery support of the No. 1 landing ship, which is enough to sweep through Japan.
The next day, Wang Yaowu gathered the Ming army ruffians. Gao Jianguo stood opposite them and found that these people were really well trained, and they already had standing up one by one. All of them straightened their waists, and their eyes did not squint, such soldiers were already considered first-class strong soldiers in the Ming Dynasty.
Can you not stand up, how many bamboo strips have been broken by the soldiers of the teaching battalion, and after more than a month, these Ming army ruffians have suffered from old sins. They practiced the queue and military posture every day, and if they slacked off, they would draw a bamboo strip, and in such a short period of time, they were stunned to practice decently.
They already have a foundation, and when they train, they accept it much faster than ordinary Liao people. After nearly two months of eating and drinking on Jeju Island, and more than a month of physical exercise, my body has changed significantly.
The most important thing these Ming army ruffians who crawled out of the pile of dead people is battlefield experience and the courage to fight hard. In the past, if they could train like this for a while, and then give them such food, they would not have failed so badly.
Wang Yaowu solemnly introduced Gao Jianguo to these people, and these veterans suddenly understood who was the male and who was the female. They already knew that Gao Jianguo's status was definitely not ordinary.
Zhao Si whispered: "Old Zhou, this is a big official." I guess he has to be a chief military officer, you see that magnificent, even Wang Papi is respectful when he sees him. Looks like there's a big war, hehe......"
Zhou Weifan shook his head and also whispered: "Don't think about beautiful things." I don't think it's easy to play this time, and if you don't get it right, you have to work hard. ”
A stout soldier next to him listened, and muttered: "I'd rather work hard than stay here anymore,, every day, walking and standing, suffocating to death." ”
Zhao Si also smiled: "But isn't it, I'm so fed up, if it goes on like this, I have to go crazy." ”
Suddenly, the squad leader next to him coughed, and several ruffians suddenly closed their mouths. They don't want to be cleaned up. The way to clean up people here is so damn bad, lock you up in a small dark room that doesn't see the light of day, and stay for three days. Close it once you come out, and you have a dead heart.
Gao Jianguo walked in front of them, glanced coldly at these soldiers of the Ming army, and said loudly: "Look at your appearance, the training effect during this period of time is good, and everyone finally has the appearance of a little soldier." I can tell that everyone likes it here. ”
A group of ruffians listened to Gao Jianguo's words, and raised countless middle fingers in their hearts.
"I'm here today to pick up some soldiers and follow me to battle. This time is different from the last time, this time you will be fighting as soldiers, that is to say, you will go desperately. This time the place to go is Japan, or go ashore to loot, the looted things will have three components for everyone, this time we are going to bring 3,000 people, I just need the masters, don't ...... seeds"
As soon as Gao Jianguo's words fell, the ruffians below immediately exploded and shouted loudly.
"I'm a man, I'm going to ......"
"General, I killed the Tartars in Liaodong, take me there......"
"I fought with the Japanese in Korea, and I'm going to Japan......"
Facing the passionate Ming army ruffians, Gao Jianguo was taken aback. Paralyzed, when I heard that I was going to loot, I was going to fucking jump high, what a group of hanging soldiers. (To be continued......)
