Volume 18 Chapter 33 The First Appearance of Special Operations (Part I)

Fu Yunlong, born in the seventh year of Chongzheng, was born in the martial arts of Jiaxu Keju, and is currently a general of the Dingliao Army, that is, the commander of the lieutenant general, skilled in bows and horses, strong in martial arts, outstanding in marksmanship, and excellent in strategy.

He was originally in charge of the southern half of the Dingliao Army's defense area, and he checked the forts and batteries in the defense area one day, and there was not much to do.

On this day, he suddenly received a telegram order: hurry to the Navy's treasure ship Chenggong for a meeting.

He naturally knew what the Chenggong was, it was the flagship of Zheng Chenggong, the generalissimo of the Ming Empire, and it was the real core of the 600,000 sea and land army this time.

Generally, those who can participate in the first-level military meeting are the commander-in-chief of the corps, and generals like him are not qualified to participate, so they can only wait for the commander-in-chief to return before arranging specific combat missions.

After receiving the telegram order, he hurriedly asked people to explain the defense, and then took dozens of guards and went straight to the port of Daming Trade City.

The Chenggong was moored there, and he knew this, because only the big wharf of the original Daming Trade City could stop the huge body of the treasure ship.

When he arrived at the No. 1 pier of Daming Trade City, it was already heavily guarded, full of brocade guards and naval elites, even if he was a vice admiral like Fu Yunlong, if he wanted to get close to the dock, he had to go through many checkpoints, showing his waist card again and again, and being checked.

As for his personal guards, they didn't have the qualifications to enter at all, and they were blocked outside the port.

After going through several checkpoints, he finally boarded the Treasure Ship Giant Ship Chenggong, at this time he didn't dare to look around at all, so he could only cover his head and follow behind a brocade guard Qianhu, and walked straight to the large conference room on the first floor of the giant ship.

The brocade-clothed guard Qianhu just led him to the door of the conference room, made a gesture of please, and then retreated honestly.

It was the first time for Fu Yunlong to participate in such a high-level military meeting, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, he quickly sorted out his military uniform, and then walked in cautiously.

As soon as he entered the conference room, he gasped, although there were only a dozen people in the conference room, almost all of them were high-ranking people.

In this, generals are nothing, there are three marshals, and there is a foreign general, looking at the rank of general, but he can only sit in the third place on the right, in addition, there are two high-ranking officials in brocade clothes wearing python robes.

He just knows both of them, of course, but he knows people, and people don't know him.

Sitting at the end of the right is Xiao Jiucheng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who has been following the generalissimo Zheng Chenggong for some time, and sitting in the second place on the right, behind the deputy marshal Cao Wenzhao, is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Wang Zhengnan!

The commander of the Jinyi Guard has made all the adults here, what is the situation?

Fu Yunlong was in a daze, and Qin Gongming, the chief general of the Dingliao Army, who was sitting in the penultimate position on the left, beckoned to him, patted the back of the seat next to him and said, "Yunlong, come, sit here." “

He hurriedly bowed down and walked over quickly, and sat down quickly.

As one of the people with the lowest rank and position here, Fu Yunlong didn't dare to speak at all, he could only stand up like the lieutenant general next to him, straighten his waist and sit there honestly, without squinting.

His defense zone was the farthest from here, so when he arrived, the twelve seats in the conference room were empty for him, and the others had already been seated for a long time.

After a while, a message came from the door: "The Generalissimo has arrived." “

When everyone in the conference room heard this, they all stood up, raised their heads and chests, and looked at the main seat.

Admiral Zheng Chenggong walked in with a paper tube about three feet long in his hand, smiling, and slowly walked to the main position.

"Brush" the generals below gave a standard military salute, and said in unison: "The last general will see the generalissimo." “

Zheng Chenggong nodded and said loudly: "No courtesy." “

"Brush" everyone put down their hands again, Zheng Chenggong did not let everyone sit down at this time, but continued to say loudly: "Following the emperor's order, the Guanning Army, the Dongjiang Army, and the Dingliao Army each transferred 10,000 elites to form three special operations brigades, enter the border with West France, and cooperate with the Spanish Army to launch an attack on southern France!" “

When Cao Wenzhao, Mao Wenlong, and Qin Gongming heard this, they hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "The last general will obey the order." “

The other generals also hurriedly raised their heads and listened carefully.

However, no, Zheng Chenggong waved his hand directly: "Okay, everyone, sit down." “

Obviously, the main theme of this meeting was to send elite troops to the border with West France to fight with the Spanish army.

Everyone sat down together, but Zheng Chenggong still didn't sit down, but took apart the map in his hand and slowly unfolded it on the conference table.

This is a map of the whole territory of Spain and Portugal and the surrounding areas, Zheng Chenggong pointed to a mountain range near the middle reaches of the Guadiana River and said: "This battle, the emperor named it special operations, in order to adapt to this new type of warfare, the 30,000 elites who participated in the war will be trained here for a month. “

At the time of special operations, the name of later generations did not have this term at this time, but as the name suggests, everyone can also understand that this should be a special method of operation that is different from conventional operations.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Chenggong continued: "Lord Wang Zhengnan, the commander of Jinyiwei, is the chief instructor of this special training, and General Okundo, the Spanish admiral, is responsible for the liaison and coordination of this special operation. “

When Wang Zhengnan and Okundo heard this, they stood up one after another and bowed their hands and stroked their chests to everyone respectively.

Zheng Chenggong waited for them to finish saluting, then waved them to sit down, and continued: "In a month, the South China Sea Fleet will escort 300 Fuchuan warships to transport 30,000 elites to the West-French border to carry out special operations. “

The general description of this mission is like this, and then Zheng Chenggong explained the specific details one by one, and Fu Yunlong only figured out at this time that he was the commander of the 10,000 elite troops of the Dingliao Army, or the captain of the special operations brigade of the Dingliao Army.

Each special operations squadron will be divided into ten special operations squadrons, and each special operations squadron will be divided into ten special operations squads, each of which will be a hundred people.

After the meeting, Fu Yunlong followed Qin Gongming back to the Dingliao Military Defense Area and began to select special combat personnel, and there were also a hundred Jinyi Wei secret agents who came back with them, they will be the instructors of each special combat team, and they are also responsible for helping Qin Gongming and Fu Yunlong select special combat personnel.

The selection of special combat personnel is mainly divided into two steps: the first step is a large-scale screening of the whole army, and all officers and men of the Dingliao Army must participate, whether they are ordinary soldiers or major generals and lieutenant generals, and the method is very simple, that is, to run with weights.

The main test of this weight-bearing run is endurance, that is, running ten miles with a hundred pounds of things on your back, and those who arrive within half an hour are considered qualified.

Next is the skill test, what archery, bomb throwing, fighting and even digging pits are all skills, the more skills, the better, and finally the best are admitted.

PS: I recommend the old writer tx Cheng Zhi's new work "The Blood Blade of the Tang Dynasty", which is a story of a small landlord who originally wanted to eat and wait for death to rise in the Tang Dynasty, with famous generals in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, as well as love and hatred, which is not to be missed.
