Chapter 421. Gears of War

10,000 years is too long, seize the day! For today's Dongjiang, it is indeed too appropriate.

Engels said that the feudal regime in the East was a collection of collective agriculture organized by the government to build large-scale water conservancy projects and manpower! If you want to gain a firm foothold, the reservoir is indispensable, and in the cold and frozen Heilongjiang, the ice and snow have not yet been civilized, and the soil is being cut with shovels, and tens of thousands of displaced people have once again burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm for labor under the banner of the Dongjiang River.

Heilongjiang, several tributaries near the Mudanjiang River, taking advantage of the dry season in winter, have been held up dams, if it is an environmentalist, it is estimated that Mao Jue's nose is scolded, thousands of years of marshland has been drained of water, as a fertile field, waiting for a civilization to immediately pick up the hoe and start farming, the ancient flood of the Great Northern Wilderness, the terrain and landform began to change dramatically.

But in this blood-surging labor, Mao Jue's always shocking order was issued again.

Expand!

In recent years, the fastest expansion is probably the Dongjiang army, at the beginning Mao Jue a regiment of 800 people, to later Tieyi Town ten regiments of 8,000 people, followed by Jeju Island Town, Kuye Town, last year when advancing into Heilongjiang, from the Heilongjiang tribe to absorb thousands of people here, the pro-soldier corps expanded to more than 30,000, this year, Mao Jue is even more ambitious to double the army.

After all, Dongjiang is a military town, and there are still enough troops to protect himself in this place outside the pass, and now he has a population of more than 1.2 million under his command, according to the proportion of 5 percent, excluding the share occupied by ethnic minorities, it is enough to support 60,000 troops.

When the Eight Banners Army was established, wasn't it also 60,000 people!

The only bad thing is that in later generations, recruits have to put all kinds of propaganda videos, and a row of female soldiers are heroic and cool, shouting all kinds of slogans, good men, serve the country! It's better to drive a Ferrari than to drive a tank, and when you get to the end of the Dongjiang River, the slogan has to be reversed, and the soldiers in the recruiting office talk about how hard it is to be a soldier and how tired they are.

No way, there are too many applicants.

Dongjiang pro-corps treatment, two taels of silver a month! Two stones of grain, army cigarettes, clothing and quilts are not counted, in this era, it is definitely a high salary, you must know that the Yiwu Corps of the Qijia Army, which was popular with Jiangnan people back then, was only a military salary of one, two, three or four dollars a month.

What's more, the Dongjiang soldiers are not just a way to eat military salaries, they cut off their heads in wars, and the generals are really silver! A head of thirty taels, converted into later generations of RMB is the purchasing power between 30,000 and 50,000 yuan, the Dongjiang River has repeatedly defeated, many Dongjiang veterans have reached the scale of landlords, the family has opened a shop in Tieshan Yizhou, and there is a large area of land in Heilongjiang, and others are hired to farm, all of which have been earned in the past few years.

And after all, this is the end of the world, before the displaced people joined the Dongjiang River, many people were thieves! Compared with the honest and prosperous peasants, they are more restless and less afraid of war than the honest peasants who are accustomed to death, so much so that in the three new settlements of Dongjiang in Acheng Town, Mudanjiang Town, and Vladivostok Town, all the people who came to apply for the recruitment lined up in a long line, so crowded that the documents in charge of entering were all roaring in a hurry.

"Eighteen to twenty-five years old! Old man, you're in your fifties! What a lot of fun!"

"Official, don't be like this! The old man has rich combat experience, when Wanli Ye fought against the Japanese in North Korea, the villain also served under Lord Wu Weizhong!"

"Eighteen to twenty-five years old!"

"Adult, the little one is really eighteen, but he looks older!"

“…………”

The surging team made Fan Wenju, who had just received a tribute from the Eastern Wa Kingdom, become a passing God of Wealth, which is more than the silver has not yet been recorded! First of all, I had to take out a million taels, and several Dongjiang meetings, he and Shen Guangqi's sons, and Shen Lian, a civil official in Dongjiang, and Shen Ruchu, had a few old faces with black faces.

But on the other end, the generals were happy.

It's not just the new recruits who have increased the number of troops, but more importantly, a few old generals have finally been promoted!

Mao Jue's initial military structure was a regiment, and the population of the Dongjiang River could support him to build those regiments, and one person could bring 800 Amitabha Buddhas, but with the continuous expansion of the Dongjiang River, there were more and more new regiments, and the scale of the war was getting larger and larger.

Just like in the last battle of the Dongjiang River, Wen Meng, the first regiment, not only commanded his first regiment of Tieyi, but also added the third regiment and the fourth regiment of Kuye Town, plus six militia regiments, and Kong Youde commanded the fifth, ninth, thirteenth, and fourteenth regiments of wrought iron, as well as five militia regiments.

Commanding like this often makes trouble and mistakes, and everyone is a regimental leader, Wen Meng is a general, and the newly established regimental regimental rate is a thousand general garrisons, and everyone commands the same number of people, which always makes people feel uncomfortable.

But this time, the Dongjiang Army finally obtained an army-level structure again.

The original fifteen regiments in Tieyi Town increased by five, divided into the Tieyi Corps and the Hamgyong Corps, as Mao Jue's starting troops, and Wen Meng and Liu Chong, the two pro-soldier generals, served as the military leaders.

The ten regiments of Jeju Island Town remained unchanged, and when Shen Shikui died, Li Jiucheng, the oldest general there, served as the military commander, and Liu Xingqi served as the military deputy.

Kuye Town was trained by Shen Rong, and it was also increased to ten regiments and one army, and Shen Rong served as the first commander.

The last Vladivostok Town, Mudanjiang Town, Acheng Town, these three towns are located in the Great Plains, with too great development potential, is the core of the Dongjiang River in the future, no town is equipped with a military establishment, respectively, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and the huge sea, seven armies of 56,000 people, plus stationed in the Wa State, Liu Xingzhi led the Dongjiang Horse Riding Team, Hamgyong Province Jurchen composed of troops, a total of 61,000 people.

However, this is not the maximum mobilization capacity of the Dongjiang River, it is really a large-scale war, as long as it is not an old man and a child, all men have to take up arms, the last time Mao Jue mobilized 110,000 people in the Dongjiang Defense War, this time it can reach 240,000.

The auxiliary militia regiment was also fixed, and when one army or two armies were dispatched to fight, they would be recruited within the jurisdiction of these armies, and there was no need to draw the entire Dongjiang River.

It's really a bit of the momentum of Napoleon's award of the Marshal Medal, this recruiting office is still in a long queue, and the head is surrounded by several regiments, the seven generalissimos of the Dongjiang River are also in full uniform, kneeling respectfully in front of the general's platform, this time, Mao Jue himself is extremely formal, and the python robe given to him by Chongzhen is worn out, and Sakurahime, who is also dressed in military uniform, is holding a square plate for him, and in the square wooden plate covered with red silk, it is placed with ivory handles, and seven delicate revolvers.

"In the name of the governor of Liaodong and the governor of Dongjiang, the commander granted you the right to lead the army, and I hope that you and others will open up territory for the Dongjiang River and add new light to the banner!"

This time, it became the beginning of the classic ceremony awarded to the marshal by the Ming Empire in the future, and the pistols were fired in turn, Mao Jue said solemnly.

Holding the pistol, he was also ecstatic, and the seven top figures in the Dongjiang River lowered their heads neatly, and replied with great respect and piety.

"The last general swears allegiance to the general! Go to the soup and go to the fire, at any cost!"

…………

At the end of the day, there were 16,700 people in the farthest Acheng, plus the scattered old regiments, and three new regiments were formed.

There is an ivory handle revolver in his waist, although there is no jeep, the galloping four-wheeled carriage is also magnificent enough, showing his head in the sunroof above the carriage, holding a telescope to look at this group of cute new stupid appearances, and Kong Youde, who is holding a thick cigar, can't help but show a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Little bunnies, grandpa is here!"

…………

While the huge war machine of the Dongjiang River was adding parts to itself and was working at full speed, Kannai, once the largest bandit military group in Northeast Asia, also achieved the greatest military results since entering the customs.

Jinan City!

This Shandong Xiongcheng, which once blocked the army of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di and almost rewrote history, also ushered in its biggest catastrophe after more than 200 years of peace.

The war lasted for ten days, and this day also fought until the night, under the city, there were blazing fires everywhere, and the gate of the Jinan city wall that almost killed Ming Chengzu was dragged high, and tens of thousands of Tartar soldiers rushed into the city excitedly.

"Your Majesty! Shaanxi Governor Song Xuezhu was killed, and Jinan City was breached!"

Who has allowed Hebei and Shanxi to cross Hebei a few times, but it is the first time to break through a metropolis at this level in Jinan, and a bloody mark was rubbed out of his face by the firecracker, and Turai, who ran back quickly with one leg, was extremely excited in his voice, and he entered the tent in a hurry.

"The emperor is powerful all over the world, and the minions admire it!"

"Megatron?"

But even so, Huang Taiji still didn't seem to be happy, but sighed deeply.

"Dying and struggling, how many soldiers and horses and how much strength do you have to bring to Mao Dongjiang in this battle?"

"The Emperor's ......"

Originally, he was still full of excitement, but Huang Taiji didn't mention that awesome name coldly, but it was like a basin of cold water poured down from his head, even if he was as ferocious as Turai, he was dumbfounded, and it took him half a day to clench his fists dryly.

"Okay, pass the order, take the slave children can go to the Dongjiang River in exchange for tobacco, alcohol and cloth, and they must not be killed indiscriminately!"

"Wow!"

With a promise, the reckless man turned around and walked out of the tent again, watching the tent curtain fall again, Huang Taiji couldn't help but sigh again, and then, he turned his fat face to the corner of the tent.

"Mr. Huichi, are you really sure to hold Mao Jue?"

"In the autumn of this year, you can do it, and when the Dongjiang territory belongs to you, my lord will earn freedom, and everyone will take what they need!"

In the corner, a little man in a black cloak is dressed in a black cloak, and his stiff official words are as piercing as fingernails cutting through glass............
