Chapter 459: Take sides
However, even if Yuan Yonghan took the initiative to retreat, the Southern Navy had no intention of stopping, but continued to move east and north, and the main force of the vanguard was not even too lazy to enter the city abandoned by Yuan Yonghan, but went around the past and continued to move north and west.
Large areas of occupied territory were handed over to the rear garrison divisions to take over.
In this operation, in addition to the 100,000 main regular troops, the Yugoslav Navy also transferred three divisions of garrison divisions, and the garrison divisions of these three divisions were used to station the occupying forces and bomb the localities.
After all, it is impossible for the Southern Navy to let a large number of main forces stay in those occupied cities.
The garrison division marched behind the main division, while the local officials prepared in advance by the Nanhai Prefecture Governor's Government quickly entered the occupied areas after the garrison division.
It is worth noting that among the local officials stationed this time, a considerable number of them are the children of the old aristocracy, the original civil officials in Nanhai Prefecture
With the high hopes of their families, they followed the army to various parts of the occupied territory and became local officials.
Not only the civilian system, but in fact, there are also a group of original professional officers in today's military, children of the old aristocracy, these people are either the original surrender officers, who are assigned to the army to re-serve after re-studying in the military academy.
Either you go directly to the military school and then be assigned to serve in the army.
The officers who can enter the army to serve, whether they are surrendered officers or the children of the old nobles who apply for military academies, are all able to serve after they have undergone a rigorous ideological course and have been judged to be qualified.
These people may be trying to blend in and avoid the suspicion of others, or they are really brainwashed, and they are often more diligent than Lin Ziran's original descendants.
When these people changed their mentality, their generally high military quality was greatly reflected, and when they led the troops to fight, it was quite vigorous.
Lin Haishu is such an old aristocratic child!
He is a descendant of the Luo An Lin clan, which is a noble family that has lasted for hundreds of years, and its bloodline can be traced back to a thousand years ago, and he was named the Marquis of Luo An more than 600 years ago.
That's right, it's Roan from Roan County!
Their family ruled the county of Luoan for nearly three hundred years, and it was only more than three hundred years ago that like other nobles, they lost their fiefdoms and were left with an empty title of nobility.
At present, the nobles of Daheng basically have no actual fiefs, only political privileges, titles and annuities.
However, the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and most of the nobles lost their fiefs, but they still retained their power, and they were still an important part of the upper echelons of the Daheng Empire.
Fifty years ago, almost all of the senior generals of the Daheng military were from aristocratic backgrounds.
The generals from civilian backgrounds actually rose to prominence fifty years ago, and now, they have become the main body of high-ranking generals in the towns of the Daheng domain.
Like many aristocratic families who are unwilling to sink, the Luo Anlin clan is also always looking for opportunities to rise again.
During the previous civil strife in Nanhai State, they did not dare to rashly stand in line to bet!
As a nobleman with a history of hundreds or even thousands of years, they are very cautious and will not easily stand in line, because during the civil war in the feudal town, once they stand on the wrong side and become the loser, the winner will not care whether they are nobles or not, and they will be cut down with a single sword.
But after watching Lin Ziran's rise, many people saw the hope of the unification of Daheng in the Southern Navy, and many people finally began to bet.
The old nobles are even more anxious to restore their former glory, well, they are not extravagant to obtain an actual fief, the real feud of the nobility has no market in Daheng hundreds of years ago, even they nobles do not dare to openly say that they have obtained the actual fief, if they really say it, they will be hammered by those feudal towns.
Rao was a powerful Duke Meng back then, even as a duke, in fact, he never regarded himself as a representative of the interests of the aristocracy, he represented the interests of the industrial and commercial circles and ordinary people, otherwise, it would be impossible for Duke Meng to gain huge prestige.
What these old aristocrats want, what they want, is to become part of the upper echelons of this vast empire again, just like the Great Heng Empire did fifty years ago.
Lin Ziran did not treat these people specially, in his opinion, the so-called old aristocracy was just a false name that they kept for their own amusement, and it was no different from ordinary rich families.
They just think they're special!
The real elite class of contemporary Daheng is actually not them anymore, but the military aristocracy represented by Cheng Lingfeng, Shao Bing, and Jian Minggang in the early days.
In the process of the reunification of the South China Sea Prefecture, the South China Navy actually eliminated these people.
Lin Haishu also knew the current situation, in fact, he didn't think too much about it, the reason why he joined the army was just to make a contribution.
Who made him the second son of the Lin family!
The eldest son inherits the family business, and the second son goes out to work hard, which is a tradition of Daheng for thousands of years, and it is still the case.
If statistics are made, then it will be found that among the 300,000 officers and men of the South Navy, regardless of whether they are soldiers or officers, the vast majority are second sons.
Today's Lin Haishu is actually like the other second sons in the army, working hard for his own glory and wealth.
It's just that the high-quality education he received since childhood gives him an advantage in this kind of competition.
He received a complete education and graduated from Luohai Third Preparatory College last year!
When he applied for the Luo'an Military Academy this year, his admission results were among the best, and after several months of intense study, because of the Eastern Crusade, Lin Haishu's students were arranged to graduate early and serve.
In the graduation exam, his results were once again at the top, and he was the second in the riding class.
In this phase of the riding department of the Luoan Military Academy, there are more than 100 people, and it is not easy to rank second, and it is worth noting that his competitors are not weak.
In the early years, when it was still Suiying Academy, the standard of enrollment was only middle school.
However, during the period of taking control of Luo'an County, the enrollment standard has already become a preparatory department, and the quality of students is relatively high, and the quality of this student is high, and the competitiveness is naturally greater.
After graduating early, Lin Haishu was assigned to the Ninth Cavalry Division as a deputy platoon commander of the cavalry company, and graduating second in the cavalry department also allowed him to obtain a higher .asxs. than most people, and he entered active duty as a sergeant.
After many actual battles, Lin Haishu was transferred to serve as the platoon commander of the third cavalry platoon under the cavalry company.
Yesterday, he had just followed his troops to launch a surprise attack on an enemy army, and the results were good, and if he continued like this, he estimated that he would soon be able to accumulate merit and be promoted.
If you want to be promoted in peacetime, it is very difficult, but in wartime, as long as you make meritorious service, then promotion is a matter of minutes.
He saw with his own eyes a classmate of the same period, who was just a corporal before the war, but he was promoted twice in a row for meritorious service, and now he has become a sergeant.
This military lord is one level higher than his Lin Haishu.
Lin Haishu also hopes that he will make more contributions, and then get promoted, be promoted to sergeant as soon as possible, and then strive to cross the threshold, become a doctor, and strive to become a general in his lifetime, so as to live up to this life.
