Section 120: Maritime and Land Disputes
When Huang Xiong came to the headquarters office, in addition to Li Yunxing, there were three other people, one of whom he recognized, it was an officer in the camp, "Chief Wei", and there was also a "Chief Ma" who also often appeared at the training ground, and seemed to be a big man.
The person he didn't recognize was Ran Yao. As soon as Li Yunxing exercised, he called the security team in the headquarters office. This yellow bear's insight is obviously not something that ordinary people can have, and most of them are officers of the Ming army. He had to make sure he wasn't a spy.
Zuihou also has a come to see the lively Dongmen blowing rain, he doesn't have much to do now, and the order of Dongmen City is also regular, and he often runs to Ma Qianzhuo to fool around, and he also drafted a lot of things like the statutes of the General Staff, and he is a nominal staff officer.
"Sit down." Ran Yao said seemingly casually.
"Chief Xiexie." "Thank you, Chief!" Huang Xiong came to stand up again--he seems to be very good at this.
Everyone saw that he was really different from ordinary recruits.
"You've been an officer, haven't you?" Ran Yao asked directly.
"Yes! The villain used to be the general manager of Jizhou Town. He was calm.
is still a Ming army officer. This was a bit unexpected by Li Yunxing. In this recruitment, many local fugitive military families came. However, the generals of Jizhou Town and the military households of Hainan are completely different things, the former is a real soldier, and the latter is just a serf of a military landlord. The difference is just too big.
"Since you are an officer of the imperial court, why did you come all the way to Qiongzhou?"
Huang Xiong hesitated for a moment: "The villain inadvertently killed the other party because of a quarrel with Shangfeng." β
Still a murderer. No wonder you have to abscond so far.
"Why the conflict?"
"It's not for some money." Huang Xiong smiled bitterly, "The imperial court has always owed salaries, and the arrears are almost so bad that the soldiers will starve to death." Some money and food have been allocated from above, and there is no share for us. I went to ask for it, and a conflict arose. β
The reason is also straightforward. But Ran Yao knew that if it was a secret agent, the reason for coming over would naturally be made up, and they were in Hainan, and they couldn't afford to go to Jizhou to investigate the truth of the matter.
"Why did you join us as a soldier?"
Huang Xiong said: "The chiefs are people from overseas, and they have nothing to do with the Ming government, so they naturally want to vote here." β
There is nothing wrong with that. Several people glanced at each other, and Ma Qianzhuo suddenly asked:
"What do you think of our regimental training?"
"The adults, the leaders' training methods, are marked and unheard, and they dare not comment on the superiority." Huang Xiong said respectfully, "However, in the middle of the month, it is extremely clever to know the advance and retreat of the foolish people in the countryside and understand the formation. It is more than enough to deal with country bandits. β
Ma Qianzhuo nodded, asked some questions casually, and then asked him to go.
"Do you want to keep him?" Ran Yao asked in a low voice.
If it's safe to be safe, this person will not only be unusable, but it is better to just click it - he has already received the full military training of the traverser, and if he is really a secret agent, he will leak a lot of details to the government after escaping.
Wei Aiwen said: "I suggest keeping it." In the future, there will be more and more such people, and there will always be a beginning for everything. I don't believe this, I don't believe that, who else can we use? β
"What if it's a spy?" Li Yunxing hesitated.
"If it were a spy, he wouldn't have revealed his identity so easily." Ran Yao said, "Personally, I think he is telling the truth. β
"You're not materialistic." Dongmen Blowing Rain criticized.
"What is materialism? If you really have to be vigilant, we now have so many workers and people, can you say that all of them are reliable? β
"Xiao Wei is right, we can't always shrink into our own small circle." Ma Qianzhuo made up his mind and said to Ran Yao: "Mark 'control and use' on his file, and find two soldiers to cross-monitor him." β
"Haode, I'll arrange it."
"Hey," Wei Aiwen cried out, "why don't I know that you have planted spies in the training camp?" β
"It's vertically managed by the Executive Committee, just look at our briefing." Ran Yao knocked on the table, and there was a document on the movements of the soldiers this week, "Xiao Wei, your sense of secrecy is not very good, this thing is secret, you just threw it on the table?" β
"The soldiers here can't get in, and we are responsible for even standing guard, so we can't lose them. Besides, the house has a lock. Wei Aiwen said with a big grin, "Chief Ma, go and see how our shooting training is?" β
"Okay, let's take a look."
So far, the Forces nouvelles have fired a total of 100 shots, 40 live and 60 without pellets, more than the number of recruits fired by the British Army, which was the most important in the 19th century.
When the group walked to the second company, they found that the soldiers of the second company were gathered. A long, black, stout soldier with a rifle aimed at a rock in the distance. There was a large crowd around him.
"Pong". The stone was knocked flying. Looks like they're doing a good job. This soldier Wei Aiwen recognized that it was Yang Zeng, the top shooter discovered by Li Yunxing.
Just when Wei Aiwen wanted to go over and say a few words to Yang, Dongmen Blowing Rain rushed ahead of him.
He said to the soldier who had shot the gun, "You, you did a good job. β
The soldier laughed.
"Now, you call me again." The east gate blew rain and said unhurriedly.
The soldier fired another shot. Hit the target.
Dongmen nodded, standing beside the soldier. Then he pulled out a Jerind pistol from his waist, loaded it empty, and said, "One more time." β
The soldiers began to clear the barrel of the gun, and it was here that the east gate fired a shot into the air. The soldier's hand shook, and some fire was scattered outside.
The only staff officer in this staff began to urge: "Quick. β
Huo Yao finally got in. During the clean-up, two more shots were fired at the East Gate.
The soldiers began to reload.
"Quick. Hurry up again. β
The gun in Dongmen's hand rang out again. The soldier's bullet fell to the ground.
"What are you doing? Reload. Reload! The east gate shouted in the ears of the soldiers.
The soldier scrambled to find another round from the ammunition bag.
The gun went off again. This was followed by his urging: "Quick! Move faster! β
The soldier shuddered, loading the bullet into the barrel.
Another shot. You can see the soldier's hands shaking as he puts on his fire cap.
"Shoot, shoot!" He's still going on.
The soldier finally finished the process of reloading.
"Quick. Aim. Shoot! He ordered at the sound of a pistol.
The soldier's gun went off.
The stone in front of you did not react. The bullet missed.
Dongmen Fuyu put away the pistol and said, "Keep practicing." β
Everyone shook their heads, the gun was accurate, but it was not a soldier.
After leaving the crowd, Wei Aiwen caught up with him and said angrily:
"It's raining at the east gate, don't you think you're going too far?"
"Where's the excess?"
"That Yang Zeng, since he arrived in the chaser platoon, in order to practice shooting. Do you know how much work has been put into it? He is now the most accurate soldier in the battalion."
"That's none of my business. Company Commander Wei, please remember. We need military personnel, not shooters. As he spoke, he glanced at Li Yunxing, "The war is not in a quiet shooting gallery. β
Without waiting for Wei Aiwen to reply, he walked away.
Wei Aiwen and Li Yunxing began to hate this guy who was not short-sighted and wore glasses.
What made Wei Aiwen even more heartwarming was that his very spectacular artillery actually divided half of the cannon with the gunner to the navy! Only 9 12-pounder mountain grenades and a few 6-pounder light cannons were left for them, and 8-pounder cannons and 70mm breech guns were given to the navy. This result also made the self-appointed artillery director Zhang Bolin angry and crooked his nose -- he had spent a lot of effort on artillery. And Li Haiping's despicable material seduction in the navy, which is open to eating fish, pulled away those most haode gunners, which made him even more angry.
"Chief Ma, don't bring this!" Zhang Bolin was aggressive, "Our army is the main force in the anti-encirclement and suppression battle, you gave all the artillery to the navy, how can this battle be fought?" β
"Yes, yes, there are obviously four infantry companies in the training battalion, so why should the navy divide one company to be a 'marine corps'? The executive committee is good, and we also admit that the army and the navy are foreign. But that's too bullying! β
Ma Qianzhuo stood up and said, "You know you need a cannon!" The 8-pounder cannon is for you, do you have a horse? β
"There's a-"
"You're still the director of artillery, do you know how many horses an 8-pounder gun takes?"
Zhang Bolin was dumb, he really didn't know how many horses his beloved weapon would have to pull.
"At least 6 horses! It has to be a medium-sized horse. Ma Qianzhu knocked on the table, "How many horses are there in Wu Nanhai's farm?" β
"It's okay to use a donkeyβ" Zhang Bolin continued his feeble resistance.
"With a donkey, you can only pull 12 pounds of mountain grenades. A mountain howitzer with a cannon and ammunition cart, you have to have 30 donkeys alone. Wu Nanhai's bankrupt family is not enough for you! If you don't have a home, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are! β
Zhang Bolin completely turned off the fire, and Wei Aiwen was still holding on to the problem of the naval company.
"The naval company is the future naval sailor, and the training battalion was originally just a substitute training. Now that the month is over, the Navy wants them to go on board for training. β
The two of them were beaten up at Ma Qianzhuo's place and said, and came out in a gray manner.
"The Navy is really a bully!" Wei Aiwen was still angry.
"They relied on the Fengcheng Hotel to buy the senior officials of the Executive Committee, it's too corrupt!"
"Let's talk to the battalion commander."
"Fat man?" Zhang Bolin simply called out very disrespectfully, "He and Ma Qianzhu are wearing a pair of pants." β
"What about the others? White Feather, they should be referred toβ"
"I can't rely on it, those veterans have been 'listening to the party' all their lives, and when they come here, they become 'listening to the words of the executive committee'."
"If this continues, our army will be deflated." Wei Aiwen was bitter about the future of the army.
"Hmph, I can see that a group has been organized to defend the rights and interests of our army - is this also for the sake of all the people! It is not good for the great cause of crossing the sea if they continue to mess around -- the navy is now useless, and it is not up to us to fight against encirclement and suppression? The Executive Committee is putting the cart before the horse. I heard that many of the officers in the battalion were dissatisfied with the decision of the Executive Committee-"
"Be quiet, tell me, what should I do?"
