Compared with those perfect military occupations in later generations, the division of the military ranks of the Ming Dynasty seems to be very rough.

For example, the navy of later generations had a very detailed division of front-line combat units, some were responsible for doing things on ships, and some were responsible for landing and seizing beaches.

Da Ming didn't have this statement, and those killers who played with guns on the ship didn't mind participating in the beach landing and slashing people at all.

Anyway, cutting people on a boat is basically the same thing as cutting people on land, as long as you hack people to death.

But now it is much stronger than before, at least these guards and soldiers dispatched by Nan Zhili are good at water, and they are also trained to cut people with knives, and they can barely be qualified to serve as marines.

The landing and beach establishment position was to have the Southern Imperial Forest Army act as the vanguard, first establish a position under the cover of the South China Sea Fleet's artillery fire, and then let the other guards land.

The Southern Imperial Forest Army acted as the vanguard, and Chen Biao, the vanguard of the Southern Imperial Forest Army, shouted loudly after receiving the order: "Quick! Fast! Fast! Get your strength out of the! ”

Amidst the burst of laughter, the soldiers of the Southern Imperial Forest Army were all ready to teach the Franco-Rang barbarians on the shore a lesson.

The soldiers rushed out of the cabin one by one, but Chen Biao unexpectedly found that one of the soldiers was still in a daze.

Actually in a daze at this time? The furious Chen Biao rushed behind the soldier and kicked it over: "Two dogs! What the fuck are you thinking! ”

Ergouzi is very famous in the entire Southern Imperial Forest Army, and there are basically few people from top to bottom who don't know him, not only because of the name Ergou.

In fact, Wang Ergou was very dissatisfied with his name, and made a few fuss with his brother named Wang Dagou to change his name, but the royal father and queen mother ignored the brothers' strong request to change their name in line with the principle of cheap names and easy support, and even filled in the roster of Wang Ergou in the health office.

There is some truth in the cheap name and good support, at least it has been the most perfect embodiment in Wang Ergou - he can eat and drink, he is tall and strong, and he rarely gets sick.

After beating up a few fools who laughed at his name to no avail, Wang Ergou could only reluctantly accept such a very affectionate title as Ergouzi.

Wang Ergou can eat, not only can he eat, but he can also endure hardship. But no matter how much Wang Ergou can eat, he can't eat the Ming army, which has become rich, plus he can fight and endure hardships, and he soon stood out in the army with a big fist.

Shen Zhenjiang was very optimistic about Ergouzi, and deliberately asked him to go from Jubao Shanwei to the Southern Imperial Forest Army, and let him receive training that was several times higher than the training intensity of Jubao Shanwei.

Wang Ergou is indeed angry, and it is worthy of Shen Zhenjiang's attention, and the high-intensity training has not crushed this man who can eat, but has become more and more excellent in the army.

If it weren't for Wang Ergou, who didn't even know that it was a word, Shen Zhenjiang would really want to promote Ergou again and let him enter the martial arts academy to learn to be a qualified officer.

Wang Ergou, who never dropped the chain in training, finally dropped the chain, and the gentleman in the army only had a simple six words for Wang Ergou's evaluation - rotten wood cannot be carved!

Wang Ergou, who had studied in the Southern Imperial Forest Army for a year and a half, had only learned to write his name like an earthworm so far.

Shen Zhenjiang, who had no choice but to give up, could only arrange Wang Ergou into the elite vanguard army, and the possibility of further progress was gone, even if he made military achievements.

According to the requirements of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, starting from Xiaoqi, one must be able to read and write, and when he reaches the post of one hundred households, he must at least be able to read and understand military Chinese books and even be able to write simple official documents.

Wang Ergou, who can't even write his own name well, can only be an honest big-headed soldier in this life, and there is no hope of getting ahead.

But Wang Ergou is already very satisfied, his former self was a good day, and he lived a day at worst, and he couldn't even make up a set of clothes without patches at home, and the farm work in the field was done in two.

During the day, the second dog wore the torn clothes that had been changed and changed at home, and the patches were beaten and beaten, and at night, the father of the second dog went to the field bare-chested.

That's it, when a family often doesn't have a few days to eat, the more work they do, the more they can eat, and when it comes to the beginning of spring, even the Huaihua elm money is a good thing, mixed with coarse noodles and steamed into a nest, so you can fool your stomach.

It's just that I still can't get enough to eat, as if there is not enough food to eat.

After all, you still have to pay taxes and taxes, and you have to pay land rent, so it's normal to not have enough to eat, but it's strange to have enough to eat.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, at least there is more food left in the family, and all kinds of taxes have been reduced and reduced, exempted and exempted, as long as they are willing to exert their efforts, the family can always eat a full meal.

Later, the days were better, as a large number of people moved to Xinming Island and Liaodong, the land rent also fell again and again - from the initial sixty percent of the land rent to fifty percent, then forty percent, and finally simply dropped to thirty percent.

The sharp drop in land rent has finally allowed the family to have enough food, not only to eat a full meal, but also to cut two taels of meat during the New Year, and see the fishy meat.

Especially salt, you can now buy enough fine salt for a family to eat for a long time, which is far from being comparable to the coarse salt in the past.

I ate a lot of salt, and with the occasional meat, I seemed to have more strength than before, and I was working with a lot of energy.

But there is an old saying that is good, full of warm thoughts**.

When the stomach is full, people's thoughts increase.

Originally, when I couldn't eat, I was thinking about how to fill my stomach, but now I am thinking about how to get a few dollars to marry a daughter-in-law.

Just in time for Nanzhili to recruit troops, Wang Er's dog teeth bit his heart and joined the army.

It is impossible to go to Liaodong, although many of those guys who went to Liaodong returned to their hometowns with a lot of silver, and even a few sao guys bought a few Silla maids as concubines.

But there are not a few guys who never come back, and if they don't come back, they don't come back, and they don't even have a name.

Compared with the treatment that officers and soldiers can enter the Martyrs' Shrine to enjoy blood and food after they die in battle, Wang Ergou feels that he should still join the army, even if the salary and silver are still a lot less than the guys who went to Liaodong to make a lot of money, after all, he is the emperor's person when he joins the army.

Some tenacious Wang Ergou thinks that it is a matter of course to be the emperor's soldiers, eat the emperor's grain, and give the emperor his life, not to mention that after the emperor ascends the throne today, the benefits brought to his family can be really felt.

As for what those eggless prison soldiers said about loyalty to the emperor and defending the country, Wang Ergou only remembered allegiance to the emperor, and the rest passed away with the wind.

Wang Ergou, who was kicked back to his senses by Chen Biao, shook his head violently, and rushed out of the cabin with the other brothers.

I just wandered, and I couldn't tell if I was nervous or scared.

It is one thing to train in the military camp, but it is another thing to actually go to the battlefield, and the elites on the training ground are not necessarily heroes on the battlefield.

The killers who came out of the sea of corpses and blood can be called heroes, and they have a murderous aura on weekdays, and they are frightened, and those who have not been on the battlefield can only be called rookies.

Even if the selection criteria refer to the New Army and the Northern and Southern Imperial Forest Army of the Beijing Battalion, it is the same, because most of them are rookies who have never been on the battlefield, and they are far less intimidating than the New Army and the Beijing Battalion.

Wang Ergou is such a rookie, the first time he went to the battlefield was an expedition to Luzon, and with the endless shelling just now, Wang Ergou's soul also flew out with the cannonballs.

Wang Ergou felt that he was nervous rather than afraid, after all, the scene of artillery fire had also been seen on the training ground, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

But the fingers that were unconsciously clenched were already a little white because of the force, which still revealed the nervousness and fear in Wang Ergou's heart.

In fact, they were all nervous, not only Wang Ergou alone, but in the entire Southern Imperial Forest Army, except for those veteran soldiers who were originally transferred from the Beijing camp and the new army, the rest were almost all a virtue.

As for the veterans who were transferred from the Beijing camp and the new army, after following Emperor Chongzhen to angrily attack Jiannu and conquer Mongolia in the north, they have long stopped taking their lives seriously.

Of course, these individual killers will not take other people's lives seriously.

Looking at the soldiers around him who seemed to be completely recruits in the eyes of the Beijing camp and the new army, they were a little nervous, and Liu Wu, the general flag transferred by the new army, smiled and said, "Scared? Nervous? Lao Tzu told you, this is all nonsense!

Think about what you have trained, think about all the tortures you have suffered, Lao Tzu promises you that on the battlefield you only need to listen to orders, let you open fire, and die to protect the barbarians on the other side! ”

Wang Ergou touched his head and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Liu Wu snorted coldly and said: "Back then, Lao Tzu followed His Majesty and personally cut down five barbarians on the grassland!"

At that time, Lao Tzu still used knives! Now look at the guys in your hands, they are so strong that they don't know where they are, and before they can shoot you, you can shoot them first, I'm afraid of a fart! ”

Liu Wu reprimanded these rookies who were on the battlefield for the first time with a big grin, and walked forward without care, without even the slightest intention of paying attention to precautions.

As the so-called soldiers are bearing, they will be in a nest, and seeing the attitude of their own general flag lord, the rest of the soldiers have also greatly settled down.

Seeing that the distance was almost over, and he was about to be outside the range of the fleet, Liu Wucai stopped and ordered: "Pay attention to the fuck, hurry up and build a position, and let the brothers in the back go ashore!" ”

After finishing speaking, he looked for a place that was not in the way, and he didn't care about the hard work of those "recruits" to build fortifications, but fell asleep.

Seeing Liu Wu's appearance, another general banner transferred from the Beijing camp simply followed suit, and after kicking and scolding the recruits to do coolies, he also fell asleep.

But the unworried appearance of the two general flags gave the soldiers of the Southern Imperial Forest Army great confidence - if there was danger, these two guys would definitely not sleep like this!

After waiting for a fortification to be roughly constructed, or simply to get some cover, the soldiers on the fortune ship began to come in a steady stream in the direction of the fortification.

It was only at this time that the two veteran Youzi General Banners got up from the ground and went to report to the Hundred Households.

After the 100 households, the 1000 households landed and continued to build fortifications until all the guards in the back had arrived, and the construction of the fortifications was stopped.

The dense and non-stop artillery fire on the Ming army's side made Sanchez's heart twitch.

It's too a loser, if the war is like the Ming army, even if it is hard to defeat a large number of colonies, there is a ball? The benefits are not enough to pay for the shells!

But this deepened Sanchez's determination to attack the southeast coast of the Ming people - as long as he could destroy the navy of these Ming barbarians this time, their southeast coast would become a naked beauty!

As for whether the barbarians of the Ming Kingdom will have a second fleet, Sanchez said that it is unlikely.

How many fleets were there in the whole of Spain? A fleet normally consists of only three or five warships.

And the Ming Barbarian Navy in front of him has a full twenty-four warships plus a bunch of supply ships, which is already five large-scale fleets!

As long as these barbarian armies can be killed in Luzon, the rest of their fleet, no matter how terrible it may be, is not to be a matter of concern.

To put it bluntly, it is still people who fight such a thing as a war, and how many people can there be in twenty-four warships? What's more, the naval fleet on his side is not the only one sunk by these barbarians - there are still three fleets hiding around Luzon, and the Spanish Navy has five fleets rushing over to support, and the number of warships is not less than that of the barbarians.

What's more, the sharks in the East Indies who will come over when they smell blood will not let go of such a good opportunity, and they covet the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty for a day or two, and it is a big deal to divide the two families!

The only question was how much to give to the greedy Judas of the Dutch East India Company.

Seeing that the Ming soldiers were still landing, Sánchez let go of these chaotic thoughts in his heart and ordered Acuña, who was standing aside waiting for his order: "Order! ”

Acuña perked up and replied, "Yes! ”

Sánchez said: "Order the front-line troops to be ready, as soon as the artillery fire of these barbarians stops, immediately take the initiative to attack them!"

Order the second line of defense to prepare artillery fire, cover when the soldiers of the first line of defense attack, and if the attack fails, be ready to respond when the soldiers of the first line of defense retreat! ”

Acuña asked, "Your Excellency the Governor, isn't it okay for us to wait in the defensive line for those barbarians to come and send them to their deaths?" Their artillery support is strong! ”

Sanchez shook his head and said: "There will be a time when the artillery fire will stop, according to their way of playing, after a while, their shells should be insufficient." What the soldiers of the first line of defense have to do is disrupt their arrangements when they are unstable.

I don't expect them to be able to drive these barbarians back to the sea, but if they can disrupt their arrangement, they will be successful! ”
