Chapter 180: Liaodong Soldiers
Gao Jianguo and Wang He's words were also supported by the majority of committee members, and Li Ming said: "I also support Lao Gao's opinion, but we should now consider how to solve the problem of more than 10,000 tons of grain shortage." Try to make as many sets of plans as possible, and the plan will never change quickly to prevent unexpected changes. ”
As soon as his words fell, a staff officer from the General Staff Department of the Military Commission ran in from outside the conference room, handed Gao Jianguo a copy of the paper, and then walked out of the conference room.
Gao Jianguo opened the text and took a look, and immediately became happy. He smiled and said to everyone, "The left-behind troops on Jeju Island have sent back the news. North Korea rejected the Far East Company's request and gave the Far East Company an ultimatum to evacuate Jeju Island within a month. ”
When everyone heard the news, they didn't get angry, they just felt incredible, is the king of Joseon crazy. When did North Korea become so backbone, could it be that the three fats crossed.
Gao Jianguo was amused, and he said with a smile: "The more things we have here, the more they don't stop." I can see that you really can't negotiate with a strange country like North Korea. If you don't make them stupid, they won't be able to see the situation clearly.
Then we won't talk to them anymore, I won't rent Jeju Island yet, just take it for me, and I won't even give them a piece of butt wiping paper. If you don't sell our food, we'll get it ourselves. ”
Li Ming nodded and said: "This time we have to fight harder, we want to completely hurt North Korea, we don't have time to talk to them, and he will hide far away when he sees us." The Admiralty swept away all the North Korean sailors and kept them from going to sea. ”
Gao Jianguo slapped the table and said loudly: "This time, we will fight North Korea first and snatch all their grain back for me." How can you get a lot, the rest is not good, we go to Daming, there are many big grain merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and if you can't buy grain at a high price, we won't be short of silver anyway. ”
Other committee members also expressed their opinions. He Haobo in the storage office thought for a while and said: "Don't we have a 10,000-ton giant ship, do we drive a freighter to Southeast Asia to have a look, and I heard that Siam is rich in rice in this era, and there was a rice trade with Siam during the Yongqian period of the Qing Dynasty, so let's go there to think of a way." ”
His opinion was not accepted by everyone, and someone immediately retorted: "In this era, there is not enough food in Luzon and Batavia. There is a lot of food in Siam. But the distance is so far that the fuel left of several 10,000-ton ships is no longer enough to travel to and from Siam.
Without the capacity of a few freighters, even if we mobilized all the sea vessels, we would not be able to bring back much in one trip, but we would consume too much fuel. If you can get food from Daming Korea, don't go there, it's not cost-effective. ”
Qiao Haipeng thought for a while and said: "Although Southeast Asia is far away, but the company's several 10,000-ton giant ships, after completing this migration transportation task, each ship still has some fuel left, I have calculated, if the remaining fuel of several 10,000-ton ships is gathered together." It is still possible to meet the round-trip conditions of a cargo ship to the Ryukyu Islands.
Freighters could find a bay in the Ryukyus to anchor, then send a landing ship to Siam to buy grain, and hire local sea ships to transport it to the Ryukyu Islands.
We can choose that multipurpose bulk carrier. Because the ship is equipped with a heavy crane that can handle the loading and unloading of cargo on its own, it is convenient for us to load and unload. At that time, as long as a landing ship escorts it, it will not consume too much diesel reserves. ”
Everyone thought that after this migration operation, several 10,000-ton freighters had almost run out of fuel and could not sail such a long distance. If you can guarantee that a 10,000-ton giant ship will reach the Ryukyus. Then you can really try it.
Gao Jianguo saw that everyone recognized this Jian, so he said sternly: "Since this is the case." Old Joe, you are responsible for this matter, and prepare the work of that freighter in the next few days. Always ready to set sail. The Central Military Commission should also move and strike at the DPRK hard, so that it can come out and jump in the future. Several other plans should also be carried out at the same time, Li Ming and Song Tao, you take the special combat team, take Van Pitt's No. 1 sailboat, go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a turn, and try to think of some ways. ”
Wang He listened to Gao Jianguo's words, and said with a smile: "If you don't have any opinions, then vote on these proposals, and if they are passed, then everyone will take action." ”
Several of the recommendations were voted on by a unanimous vote in the next board committee. After the meeting ended, everyone got busy.
In the Jeju Island immigration camp, Zhou Kefan and a group of Liao people were standing in a neat queue and were training on a well-leveled playground, and these Liao people numbered 3,000 people, all of whom were from the Ming army in Liaodong.
They had eaten a full meal for a few days, and after plenty of rest, their bodies slowly recovered. Although he is still skinny, he is much more energetic than before.
Wang Yaowu, who was stationed here, picked out some people in good physical condition in the Jeju Island immigration camp to carry out basic training, these Liao people were all from the Ming army, and Li Ming had made it clear that these people would not go to Vladivostok in the future, they would be sent to Luzon.
Therefore, Li Ming asked Wang Yaowu to conduct some simple basic training for them during this time, and the officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the teaching battalion who stayed behind were responsible for the training. The requirements for them don't have to be as strict as in the training camps. There is only one requirement, and that is to make these ruffians learn absolute obedience.
Teaching the recruits of the first battalion doesn't care about that, one by one is very strict, kicking, beating and scolding every day is commonplace, and if you are in a hurry, it will be a stick. After only ten days of training, Zhou Kefan and others have tasted all the hardships.
At the beginning of the training, a few veteran soldiers still wanted to fight in various ways, and even instigated a group of soldiers to make trouble. But immediately the soldiers of the training team used bayonets to pick a few to death, and hung the other soldiers who participated in the troublemaking on wooden poles for three days to blow the sea breeze, almost tossing them to death. Since then, all the ruffians have become honest.
Zhou Kefan has been beaten a few times today, and his back is still hot and painful, but he doesn't even dare to reach out and rub it. Those young people have poisonous eyes, and when they stand in a military posture, if anyone moves, they will immediately be smashed down with a stick.
"I go and go every day, and today is even more evil, I've been standing all morning, what kind of soldier is I training!"
Zhao Si, who was standing next to him, secretly cursed, this Zhao Si turned out to be a soldier in Dongjiang Town, when the salary was cut off, their soldiers were so badly deducted, so hungry that the Ming army below ran away, he ran around the Dongjiang River, and later came to Ocean Island.
"Smack".
Zhao Si was slapped the back, and then a shout came out: "What are you muttering, you are not allowed to eat at noon." ”
Zhao Si, who had been beaten with a stick, quickly straightened his waist and closed his mouth with grinning teeth. Now these Liao people who participate in the training can eat a few pieces of meat at noon every day, so what everyone is most afraid of is being punished and not allowed to eat lunch.
At last they stayed up until noon, and it was a painful torment for these idle ruffians, when had they ever suffered the final sin, and they had maintained a standard military posture all morning, standing there motionless.
But this kind of training is most effective for these idle ruffians. For a full morning, all the ruffians survived, and none of them fainted. Even Wang Yaowu admired them, and when the modern army stood for two hours, they would faint a few times. It seems that these ruffians have willpower, and they will be trained well in the future, and they will be a group of daring army brigades.
In fact, these Liao soldiers are veterans who have seen big battles, and their poor military quality and poor discipline really have nothing to do with them, even if they are good soldiers, if they are put in the Ming army troops of this era, they will become rogue soldiers when they come out. They have experienced bloody battles, and they have also experienced the verge of starvation and death, and standing all morning is a fart.
Before eating, Wang Yaowu walked up to them and said loudly: "The training has been canceled in the past few days......"
The group of soldiers and ruffians below didn't wait for Wang Yaowu to finish speaking and began to cheer, how could these soldiers of the Ming army have suffered such a crime, and Grandpa Qi's soldiers didn't say that they practiced every day.
Zhou Kefan didn't cheer with them, he knew that the general's words hadn't finished yet, and he felt that the next thing would definitely not be a good thing.
Wang Yaowu smiled, but did not stop the hustle and bustle of a group of ruffians. When they were done arguing, he continued: "In three days you will be sent out with the troops as auxiliaries." Although it is an auxiliary, it also has to abide by military regulations. Those who do not listen to orders, kill! Whoever hides the spoils of war, kill! Those who retreat, kill! Passive saboteurs, kill! In the afternoon, we will change our equipment for everyone and have a good rest these days. ”
At least the military leaders here can feed them, and the food is never deducted, when they were in the Ming army, when did they eat such a good meal, even if it was a big battle, it would be benevolent and righteous to let you be full.
It wasn't until Wang Yaowu had left for a long time that these soldiers and ruffians came back to their senses, and they immediately made a fuss.
Zhao Si turned his head to Zhou Kefan and said, "Brother, who do you say they are going to fight?" You can't let us go to the siege and be dead soldiers! Damn it...... I said how can they be so kind, they can see the oil for more than ten days in a row, I have been a soldier for a few years, and I have never eaten so well, and the relationship is like this. ”
Zhou Kefan thought for a while, and shook his head helplessly: "This is not far from North Korea, I'm afraid I'm going to fight North Korea." Without them, we would have starved to death...... Hehe, at least you can eat enough and then die. ”
The lunch was very rich, a small bowl of braised pork, a few salted fish, and a large bowl of thick meat and vegetable soup, and white rice was enough to eat. This kind of food made these soldiers feel more and more that they were going to fight hard. (To be continued)
