Chapter 738: The Praetorian Guard Firearms Test Corps Appears
After all, he has been in Jiaozhi for so many years, so naturally he doesn't want any losses to Jiaozhi.
"It's okay. Since the troops in Jiaozhi are insufficient, then Your Majesty can issue an order to recruit one to two armies from Lingnan to station in Jiaozhi. First, the land in Lingnan and Jiaozhi are in the suburbs, and it is normal to transfer troops. In addition, they are all southerners, so it is easier to adapt to the climate and environment of Jiaozhi. Secondly, after a large number of troops arrive at Jiaozhi, they can continue to be dispersed by General Cheng and reorganize and train troops to increase the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the army in Jiaozhi. In the future, if we need troops in Nanyang, we can recruit troops from Jiaozhi..." Wei Yunqi pointed to the map and talked.
His idea was indeed good, at least much more thorough than I thought about it. I had previously communicated with this group of people in the Ministry of War about whether to recommend a Chinese Expeditionary Force. Everyone felt it was necessary, but it was not possible to raise it for the time being because the military expedition was very expensive. But now, the opportunity has come, or the reason for sending troops seems so legitimate.
It is important to transfer the troops of the Lingnan Army to Jiaozhi to reduce the local indigenous people's garrisons. In the future, it can be added from other places, so that the newly occupied land can also be transformed from the original garrison to the other garrison. This is a very good practice.
After all, everyone thought it was feasible and decided to draw a division under Cheng Yaojin from Jiaozhi, plus two local divisions in Jiaozhi, and form a Chinese expeditionary force to the Nanyang area.
However, due to frequent typhoons in summer and autumn, I decided to wait until late autumn before heading towards Nanyang.
In addition, through public opinion propaganda tools, more people will know that a series of treaties signed by the Chinese Empire and the Bharat State attracted merchants to trade in the Bharat State. In addition, to inform the Bharat State of Envoys, we will send an advance working group to the Bharat State to follow it to the Bharat State, where we build various kilns needed to build the wharf. Of course, human resources are derived from the Bharat State, and technology is derived from our Chinese Empire.
When it was late autumn, I believed that the first permanent wharf could be built to facilitate the arrival and mooring of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. In addition, Du Ruhui obeyed my order and secretly sent intelligence personnel to contact the Han people in the envoys. The contact was very gratifying. Although they had been away from their hometown for hundreds of years, they still had never forgotten where their ancestors and hometown were.
They even mentioned that most of the Han people in the Bharat Kingdom were like him, in a foreign country and in their hometown. This would be very beneficial for the Chinese Revival Army to garrison in the Bharat Kingdom. Of course, officers must select suitable people, and must also be equipped with qualified diplomats to facilitate the dealings between the Bharat Kingdom.
The envoys had only been in Chang'an for less than ten days, and said goodbye to me with a look of joy. They wanted to rush back to the Bharat Kingdom and inform their king of the Chinese Empire of their importance and help.
After giving back a lot of gifts to the mission, he waved goodbye to the envoy. Then he received information. Qu Tutong led a large army to defeat the Li Zitong's troops of Xuancheng County, which were attacking. Li Zitong was forced to give up Xuancheng County and retreat to Danyang. In the south, Qin Qiong finally climbed to Yongjia County, and fought several games with Yongjia County soldiers, winning consecutive victories. After taking Yongjia County five days ago, he wanted to send troops to Dongyang County, but unexpectedly, a super typhoon hit Yongjia County. Qin Qiong had to temporarily stop moving forward and sent troops to participate in the disaster relief work, which moved the local people who were originally dissatisfied with the Chinese Revival Army, and their favorability value instantly increased by at least 35 percentage points.
Linhai County, north of Yongjia County, a vote of surrendered troops was intended to take advantage of the disaster relief site of the Chinese Fuxing Army and repel the city. Unexpectedly, the people of Linhai County informed the garrison, which caused the war to be destroyed before it even began.
From this we can see how important it is to have a team with good discipline and treat the people as their relatives. For such a result, even a great scholar like Kong Yingda can only praise him with emotion and praise him as a benevolent and righteous teacher.
Benevolence and righteousness are necessary, of course, for ordinary people. If the enemy who dares to raise their swords and guns at us, what awaits them will be sharp arrows and horizontal swords.
Nowadays, there are more than 75 Japanese people arrested in the Chinese Empire, and more than ten of them came to investigate our Chinese Revival Arms, intending to bribe them with a large amount of treasures to obtain the information they want to know.
After learning this news, my grandson directly ordered the more than ten Japanese people to be tried for espionage and then executed for espionage.
The other Japanese people will be repatriated after interrogation. I am not very interested in these Japanese people who have not committed crimes. Anyway, I believe that in the near future, the giant ships and guns of the Chinese Empire will appear on the Japanese island, completely destroying all the Japanese history and future.
By then, it will be built into another immigration point for the Chinese Empire on this wasteland.
In addition to the Japanese, they also captured spies sent by Tuyuhun or other heroes from Central Plains, and were all thrown into mines for honest labor reform. After all, they are not the strange and disgusting race like the Japanese.
Confidentiality work must be done in place, and most of the high-end and sophisticated technologies of the Chinese Empire are concentrated in the mountains and forests more than 100 miles south of Chang'an City. This is located in a place of overlapping mountains and is deserted, making it easy to prevent those who have bad intentions.
Two hundred miles southwest of Chang'an City, an observation deck with a height of about five meters was built on the top of a mountain about three hundred meters high. A large number of generals and important officials were sitting in Maza holding a telescope in their hands, watching the battle between the Blue Army and the Red Army in the distance.
The two sides practiced a battle formation confrontation. The Blue Army was mainly cavalry, while the Red Army was mainly infantry. At this moment, the Red Army formed a circular formation with carriages in a carriage, and was shooting at the wandering Blue Army using crossbows.
The situation has changed from the sudden and fierce battle scene at the beginning to a stalemate. With the red flags and green flags on the high platform intersecting, the two sides of the warring sides withdraw from the combat position in a tacit understanding and begin to count the number of casualties.
The "dead people" who were trapped in the white gray spots left by swords, guns, arrows and crossbows began to return to their respective camps. After all, it was an exercise, and it was impossible for them to use real swords and guns to cut at them. Instead, they used wooden swords and wooden guns, and wrapped the gun tip or knife with white gray cloth. In this way, those who were hit would withdraw from the battlefield as wounded or injured.
If anyone dares to be cut off or even stabbed or shot a dozen guns and still jumped on the battlefield, they will be directly caught by the military police and then taken to confinement.
Seeing this scene, I nodded with satisfaction. "The Red Army infantry can rely on the carriage to resist the impact of the Blue Army cavalry in such a short time, and it is indeed a good job."
"But the time from the time the Red Army infantry received the whistle order to the end of the assembly, the time exceeded the usual emergency meeting time by at least one square clock." Han Shiye, who was sitting next to me, was not satisfied. The Red Army was his soldier, while the Blue Army was my wife's soldier.
The so-called one-frame clock is for accurate timing. Therefore, this young master divided the time scale evenly in the military, dividing the twelve hours of a day into twenty-four hours, with each hour being sixty clocks, and one clock being equivalent to one minute. In addition, each clock is divided into sixty copies.
But there is no such accurate timer now, so everyone can only rely on guessing to master more refined time.
"It's okay. After all, it's wartime. With two consecutive days of forced marching, the soldiers were tired and the reaction was a little slower." I waved my hand and said with a smile.
Han Shiye did not refute, but still muttered in a low voice dissatisfaction, as if he was about to go back to the camp to train these soldiers after the exercise.
"I am here to see Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards' Arms and Firearms Corps reported." At this time, a heroic and upright knight rushed to the observation platform and turned over and jumped off the horse and saluted me.
"Well, General Qu Tu, are you all ready?" Seeing this Qu Tuquan who was only twenty years old, I nodded with satisfaction and asked with a gentle smile on my face.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards' Firearms regiment is ready. Please allow the Imperial Guards' Firearms regiment to perform martial arts," Qu Tuquan replied loudly with his head held high.
"Well, then, go, remember to show the momentum of the Imperial Guards, don't let me down." I glanced at the important officials of the court present and said solemnly to Qu Tuquan.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards' Firearms will be despaired." After Qu Tuquan answered, he turned around and jumped onto the back of the horse and rode his horse down the mountain.
"This kid is good." Wei Yunqi murmured quietly beside me. "It seems that your Majesty, your vision of seeing people is really superior."
"Haha, it's just ordinary, but Qu Tuquan is indeed quite capable, better than his brother. When it comes to strategy and ability, I'm afraid it's comparable to that Hou Junji." I burst out laughing out loud.
Qu Tuquan is the second son of General Qu Tu. His eldest son Qu Tushou is also in the army, but he is far inferior to his father. Instead, his second son Qu Tuquan is quite brave. At home, he often debates with his father about military strategy and is quite talented in military management.
However, he was still young in the past, so General Qu Tu did not allow Qu Tuquan to join the army. However, in the past few years, General Qu Tu has been fighting outside, so he naturally cannot control this little guy. Qu Tuquan, who had just turned 18 last year, came to me and asked to join the army.
After some investigation, it really shocked the little guy. At least in terms of military strategy, this young master is far inferior. In addition, he is very interested in firearms and put forward his own point of view. The use of firearms lies in their lethality and power. Therefore, the most important thing for firearms is to concentrate on using cities and villages to destroy cities and villages.
