Shi Guangming arrived in Hirado on February 21, 1656, and at the Hirado wharf, he was met by Xu Jiajie, chief of staff of the 211th Division.

"Division commander, I am Xu Jiajie, chief of staff of the 211th Division." As soon as they met, Xu Jiajie introduced himself.

Shi Guangming warmly shook hands with the chief of staff (the handshake salute was already popular in China at this time), and said: "It turned out to be Chief of Staff Xu, I heard at the headquarters of the Second Army Corps that you were transferred to the 211th Division, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly." ”

Xu Jiajie said: "I happened to be in Quanzhou when I received the order, and I came by boat with the recruit Danzi, but I arrived three hours earlier than you." ”

"Where is our division headquarters?" Shi Guangming asked anxiously.

Xu Jiajie said with a smile: "I was about to ask you the same question, I just arrived at the headquarters, and Chief of General Staff Jiang Guorong told me that you arrived today, so I came to pick up the ship as soon as possible." ”

Shi Guangming said: "Let's go back to the headquarters together!" ”

The headquarters for the conquest of the island nation was located in Hirado, and now Hirado Island is completely under the control of the Huaxia Army.

Matsuura Atsunobu, the lord of the Hirado Domain, was forced by the situation, and Zheng Zhilong guaranteed that his family and family property would be worry-free, so he took refuge in the Huaxia Kingdom. Now he is no longer the lord of the Hirado Domain, he holds the position of the prefectural governor of Hirado Prefecture.

The headquarters was located near the Hirado Wharf, Shi Guangming followed Xu Jiaming to the wharf, got on the carriage of the General Headquarters, crossed a side street, the carriage entered the north gate of Guigang Park, circled around the park a few times, came out of the south gate of Guigang Park, and then crossed a street to the headquarters station.

Along the way, the handlebar explained that walking through Guigang Park was for the sake of shortening the road, and if you walked along the fence of Guigang Park, you would have to walk a lot more unjust roads.

The headquarters occupies a block, and on this street, there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and the guards are quite heavy.

The carriage stopped in front of the General Headquarters building, and after Shi Guangming and Xu Jiajie got out of the carriage, they went straight to the command center.

The deputy commander-in-chief of the General Headquarters is Jiang Guorong, who is also the chief of the General Staff, because the Commander-in-Chief Gao Junshan is still in the capital, and Jiang Guorong is the supreme commander of the General Headquarters.

The one who received Shi Guangming and Xu Jiajie was Jiang Guorong.

"The situation is developing rapidly, we follow the emperor's will and add thirty divisions!" Jiang Guorong sat on the sofa in the living room, and said while beckoning his subordinates to drink tea, "Your 211th Division is the first recruit division we have formed, and Commander Liu Wenxiu recommends the two to serve as division commanders and chief of staff, and I believe that the two will definitely live up to Commander Liu's expectations." ”

Shi Guangming and Xu Jiajie both got up and saluted Jiang Guorong and said, "We must take the 211th Division to guard the safety of Hirado!" ”

"Sit down, sit down. If you are here, report back to your division headquarters immediately," Jiang Guorong said this, and shouted to another room, "Director Li! ”

A tall and thin man walked out of that room, and he came to Jiang Guorong and saluted: "Li Ping, director of the logistics department of the 211th Division, has come to report. ”

Jiang Guorong stood up and said, "Take your division commander and chief of staff back to the division headquarters!" ”

Li Ping saluted Shi Guangming and Xu Jiajie again: "Li Ping reports to the division commander and chief of staff!" ”

Shi Guangming said: "Take us back to the division headquarters!" ”

After Shi Guangming finished speaking, he bid farewell to Deputy Commander-in-Chief Jiang Guorong.

Under the leadership of Li Ping, the head of the logistics department, they returned to their division headquarters.

The 211th Division is a newly formed division, and the configuration of generals at all levels has not yet been perfected, and the General Headquarters has given them a quota of 7,000 men, as well as the establishment of three regiments, and the division headquarters except for a guard company, the rest of the personnel are to be determined.

The division headquarters was located on an old wharf on the west bank of Hirado, where several formed recruits were already stranded nearby, and they were the first recruits to arrive in Hirado.

The three regiment commanders have not yet been selected, Shi Guangming first proposed that Liu Jinguo should be the head of the first regiment, the second regiment commander was recommended by Xu Jiajie, and the third regiment commander was recommended by Li Ping, and the appointment of the three regiment commanders was quickly approved by the general headquarters.

The General Headquarters also instructed them to recruit nine recruits from the nearest battalion to join the 211th Division.

As soon as he received the order from the General Headquarters, Chief of Staff Xu said to Shi Guangming: "Division commander, ours has not been set up yet, you can't be the commander of the light pole, hurry up and take us to the new barracks to recruit people." ”

The director of the logistics department said: "Division commander, I have already contacted the military management office of the new barracks, you can go directly to get people, and the location of the regiment headquarters has also been decided, the first regiment lives in the east area, and the second and third regiments live in the west area." ”

Shi Guangming said: "Very good, you will take care of the family at the division headquarters, and the chief of staff and I will go around the recruit camp." ”

Shi Guangming and Xu Jiajie came to the military management office of the new barracks, and the head of the military management department briefed them on the situation of the new barracks.

Each of these new battalions from the interior has been formed into a structure, from squad leaders to battalion commanders, and each battalion has passed rigorous training and is equipped with brand-new weapons.

Shi Guangming asked, "How many battalions do you have at present?" ”

"Six battalions."

"We've got it all." Shi Guangming said, "Please invite the commanders of these six battalions over!" ”

The head of the military management department handed Shi Guangming a form and said, "Okay, as long as you sign here, you can take them all away." ”

Shi Guangming took the form and looked at it carefully, this was the number and origin of the six recruit battalions, and there were blank signatures of the receiving troops. Shi Guangming signed his name and the number of the unit in the blank space, so that the handover work was completed.

After signing the papers, the head of the military management department said: "We will send someone to send the roster of the six recruit battalions to the division headquarters later, and you can go and collect people now." ”

At this time, the six battalion commanders of the recruit battalion also came, and Shi Guangming met with them one by one and asked them to make a brief self-introduction.

After the battalion commanders finished their introductions, Shi Guangming asked them to assemble the team and bring the team back to the division headquarters.

The six battalions were divided into three regiments, each with two battalions, and because the three regiment commanders were not in place, the division headquarters was directly in charge of the battalion.

The chief of the logistics department was very conscientious, Shi Guangming led the six battalions back to the division headquarters, and Director Li Ping had already brought back 20 truckloads of rice and daily necessities from the general headquarters with the guard company.

Because the weapons were all brought by themselves, it saved the logistics department a lot of trouble, and it was not too late to replenish the weapons and ammunition after the other two battalions arrived.

Even if the 211th Division has been established, it can already be seen from the number that this division is a second-tier division.

There are a total of 90 elite front-line combat divisions in Huaxia Kingdom, and their numbers are all within ten, and the smaller the number, the more elite they are.

For example, the ten elite divisions of the Second Army Corps are numbered 201st Division - 210th Division, and the 201st and 202nd Divisions are the elite divisions of the Second Army Corps.

The other eight legions were also arranged in this way. The Ninth Army is the Marine Corps, which has only seven Marine divisions under its command, each of which is an elite division.
