Born into the Guards and died into the Martyrs’ Shrine

"Extra number, extra number!"

"Supervise the country to build a Martyrs' Shrine to commemorate the soldiers who died in the war!"

"Supervise the country to build a Martyrs' Shrine to commemorate the soldiers who died in the war!"

"The Ming Dynasty will not perish, and the incense will never end!"

"The Ming Dynasty will not perish, and the incense will never end!"

"Be born into the Guards, and die into the Martyrs' Shrine!"

Countless newsboys walked through the streets and alleys, shouting this exciting news.

People talked a lot about it, and spreading incense was the most important thing for the ancients.

Some people say that incense is an emotional sustenance and inheritance. For the ancients, respecting Buddha is not as good as respecting ancestors. The religion of the ancients was often based on family units. They did not have a unified god. Each family had its own characteristics.

God, that is the ancestor.

At the same time, Dongning Military Academy recruited 500 new trainees from the former First Battalion of the Guards and new recruits. This time the army expansion is relatively large, and everyone is under great pressure to train.

After a while, the entire military camp was shouting, and they were even shouting during running training.

However, how much to expand the army and how to expand it...

After hearing this, his subordinate Lin Sheng said: "His Royal Highness, the Supervisor of the Kingdom, is courageous and resolute, capable of conquering and fighting. He has the style of a great master of the country. He is indeed a wise master!"

Pan Aqiang, Qin Zhiguo, Wang Yang, Pingpu warrior Dawula and many outstanding first-term trainees were promoted to the position of battalion commander.

Therefore, the most basic concept of ancestor worship is to recognize that dead people exist in another world, and through their existence in another world to continue the continuation of living people, the passing of incense from generation to generation was the most important thing for the ancients.

Chen Yonghua said slowly: "Qin She, you must understand that our current military strength in Dongning is only 20,000, and it is still a bit reluctant to face the Tatars and Western Yi at the same time. At least the troops of the Yongwei Town and Penghu Pacification Department must be

Stay on Yizhou Island, otherwise you will be easily attacked by the Tatars."

"It is our honor to serve the Jianguo. I also hope that the Jianguo will change the equipment of the left and right military guards. Lin Sheng, you have a good relationship with the Jianguo. If you keep in touch with the Jianguo more, maybe the equipment change will be faster!" Liu Guoxuan

said.

Currently, all the armies of the Ming and Zheng dynasties are loyal to Zheng Kezang and enjoy the bonuses of wonder buildings and quality concepts.

That night, Zheng Kezang convened the officers and cadets of the Guards Army for a deployment meeting.

Even if military expansion will cost a lot and destroy the economic development and population structure of Yizhou Island, with Zheng Jing's accumulation over the years and the trade in perfume and other products, he can still get through it with grit.

If Zheng Kezang carries out military expansion at this time, it will definitely be very smooth. The publicity of the Martyrs' Shrine is a large-scale recruitment advertisement.

Chen Yonghua was obviously prepared. He took a sip of tea and said, "Qinshe, the Spanish barbarians are extremely ferocious. They have strong ships and cannons. If you want to take Luzon Island, you must expand your army."

The meeting decided that the Guards would immediately recruit 11,250 troops, expand the army to a total of nine battalions, and form the First Guards Town together with the First Battalion of the Guards.

Because the troops were too small, he did not dare to be too aggressive that time. If there were ten thousand to twenty thousand Guards, what would he have to fear? The Guards were absolutely invincible!

Originally they were still immersed in mourning for their fallen comrades, but after hearing the news today, they may be a little envious of those comrades who sacrificed their lives for Zheng Kezang.

Once we take over the Luzon Islands and absorb the Han people there, the population will be abundant.

Zheng Kezang also raised his tea cup, took a sip and said, "Army expansion? Father-in-law, please tell me in detail."

The next strategy is to fulfill Guo Xingye's last wish. The Qing Dynasty will not dare to harass him during this period, leaving him enough time to defeat the shameless Spanish colonists and save the Luzon Islands.

"Only when Yizhou Island is stabilized can we have enough strength to send troops to fight abroad! At that time, even if the Tatars suddenly attack, we will have the strength to deal with it. Therefore, even if the expansion of the army will bring great economic pressure to Dongning, we must bite the bullet

It will be over if we hold on, I think it is imperative to expand the army..."

"Uncle Wu Ping, I will do my best."

Zheng Kezang did not let Chen Yonghua wait for too long. In less than a stick of incense, he gave Chen Yonghua the answer: to expand the army, we must expand the army! But only the Guards will be expanded, and other things will remain unchanged.

…

Zheng Kezang's current military strength is: 1,300 Guards, 2,300 Yongwei Town, 4,000 Zuowuwei and Youwuwei Towns, 2,000 Qiu Hui's Yijun, 8,000 Zhu Tiangui Zuo Dudu's Navy, Penghu Appeasement Division Water

The division has 5,000 troops stationed.

The reaction of the Guards on the other side was even greater, because Zheng Kezang had promised them that he would give them a big gift when he came back. How could they not be proud that the Martyrs' Shrine was built because of them.

Zheng Kezang nodded slowly: "Father-in-law, I understand, but I still have to think about it carefully."

Today, Zheng Kezang specially invited his father-in-law Chen Yonghua to consult him on his next step in attacking Luzon Island.

This kind of reverence for the ancestors constitutes a kind of spiritual power, completes the emotional exchange of gratitude to the ancestors, deepens the respect and understanding of the ancestors by future generations, and feels the hardship of life.

This is probably the highest honor a common man can obtain.

"Father-in-law, what's the plan?" Zheng Kezang asked, sitting upright.

Zheng Kezang closed his eyes and thought.

As soon as he heard Zheng Kezang's words, Chen Yonghua understood that Zheng Kezang had already planned it, so he did not disturb his thoughts and drank tea leisurely by himself.

In such a situation at this time, expanding the army is indeed the only best option for Zheng Kezang. Zheng Kezang has been considering this matter for a long time after returning from Zhangzhou Prefecture!

As Chen Yonghua said, if we do not expand our military, we can only maintain the integrity of Yizhou Island, and it will be difficult to have any spare power to change the surrounding situation.

Liu Guoxuan, the officer in charge of the military guards, looked at the restless military camp and sighed with emotion: "The supervisor is really good at buying people's hearts. If this trick continues, Dongning's military and people's hearts will be captured by him. Feng Xifan will not be able to fight with him even if he is alive."

confrontation."

I don't know how long it took, but someone suddenly shouted in the Guards camp: "Be born in the Guards, die in the Martyrs' Shrine."

Among them, the Guards and the Brave Guards Town are the most elite. The Brave Guards Town is moving closer to the tactics and equipment of the Guards. It is expected that it will become another Guards in a month or two.

As ordinary people, what we can imagine is that lying in a quiet cemetery and receiving endless incense offerings is the greatest sustenance and satisfaction in the next life.

In their opinion, the incense at the Martyrs' Shrine is more advanced, because it is no longer based on blood inheritance, but lives together with the country. If the country is not destroyed, the incense will continue.

Yes, he still loyal to Zheng Kezang, otherwise he would not be able to reap the benefits.

Zheng Kezang gave the final instruction: "Thank you for your hard work, you are the core and role model of our Guards, and the tasks you undertake must be very important! The army expansion will officially begin tomorrow! The specific organization will still follow the original structure, plus

The original establishment of the First Battalion was 1,250 people. After the expansion of the Guards, it reached 12,500 people. We must fully use the old to lead the new. We must integrate the new army with the old army in the shortest possible time to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

!”

"Yes, principal!"

Everyone hurriedly said yes respectfully.

After the meeting, Zheng Kezang stood in front of the sand table in the principal's office and studied how to conquer Luzon Island!
Chapter completed!
