Chapter 288: Final Decision
The expedition team led by Wu Zhengdao had basically inspected the two Guangzhous, and through what they learned after the inspection, everyone unanimously agreed that if they used the original officers and soldiers of the old guard post for training, it would definitely be useless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
These generations of soldiers who were supposed to be charging into battle are already about the same as peasants, and it is basically impossible to rely on them to fight, so the most important thing to do at this time is to recruit a group of soldiers who really dare to go to the battlefield to fight.
Where to recruit soldiers who really dare to go to the battlefield to fight, it is naturally the best among those displaced people, these people are suffering from hunger and cold, and when they want to eat and have no other way out, they can only serve as soldiers to eat food.
Wu Zhengdao was sitting in the Liangguang Governor's Palace, how could Shen Youlong not know the contents of the relevant report he had submitted.
My lord, do you know that Zheng Zhilong, the chief soldier of Fujian, also invited us to investigate, and compared with the quality of the U army in Liangguang, they are indeed more suitable.
Zheng Zhilong has a thief's heart, it is known to the world, the private armed force has approached 100,000 people, such a large-scale private armed force is definitely the first case in the Ming Dynasty, the key is that they still have their own water division, the water division of the imperial court is not as powerful as anyone else, what do you call this thing.
If it goes on like this, Zheng Zhilong will have to fight sooner or later, and now there is chaos today, heroes from all walks of life are everywhere, he Shen Youlong does not have this thought, but it does not mean that everyone does not have this thought, not to mention that the time when the world is in chaos is the time to rise.
Shen Youlong is dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, but others don't think so, even the officials of Liangguang are preparing for themselves at this time, they watch the situation change day by day, and it is inevitable that they will have their own ideas.
Not to mention anything else, if it is really time for thieves to enter Beijing and heroes from all over the country will rise up, then supporting Shen Youlong to become the emperor is a meritorious man, and following Shen Youlong is always more promising than following others.
Although Lao Shen is a little more incorruptible, he at least ensures the interests of the officials below, and people are officials just to live a better life, which can also be said to be for money, but you can't let other people's families have nothing to eat.
Therefore, Shen Youlong still understands this very well, let these people have their own certain industrial operations, but they must be guaranteed to be legal, otherwise he will ban them, this is his duty.
Of course, officials have their own industries, which is naturally easier to operate than other ordinary people, and if nothing else, at least in this respect, people can guarantee that they have obvious advantages over ordinary people.
Not to mention anything else, the immigration program that cooperated with the Australians alone brought a lot of benefits to most of the people under his command every year, and a Shangguan who could distribute the benefits to the officials below would naturally be supported by the people below.
In addition to these support him, the people are also very supportive of him, in solving the problem of food and clothing, he listened to Australia's suggestion, the development of mountains and forests close to the border with Annam, so as to obtain a large amount of land, although Annam has raised objections, but with the population of the Ming Dynasty here more and more, they have basically nothing to say.
Originally, the border of this period was not so obvious, and Annan was governed by the Ming Dynasty before, and this place was only later withdrawn because of domestic problems, and now the Ming Dynasty wants to re-manage what do you want to say.
You want to say that this place is yours, well, people have been attacked in your main city again, and they just get some people in the border area to reclaim the wasteland, so there is nothing, of course, if there is anything, the boundary is not determined.
It was for such and such reasons that Liangguang expanded a lot in the direction of Annam, and in fact, the reclaimed wasteland also belonged to the imperial court, but it could be used by refugees in the early days.
Now Liangguang can be regarded as a few provinces with a very good economy in the Ming Dynasty, one is Fujian, and the other is Liangguang, and the soldiers and horses of these two places are strong in the eyes of outsiders.
Therefore, the two sides look at each other, for fear that the other party will do something to themselves.
Especially Zheng Zhilong, this feeling is the greatest, after all, he relies on Liangguang, if Shen Youlong has a heart for the world, then maybe he is very likely to really send troops.
Only by solving the problems around him can other problems be solved, this is the way of using troops since ancient times, with Zheng Zhilong's idea, he may also solve the strong enemies around him first, after all, with such a strong enemy by his side, he will definitely not be able to sleep and eat well.
Not to mention anything else, when you send troops to attack other places, at this time he suddenly sends troops to attack you, what should you do, you can't retreat and come back.
When he heard that Wu Zhengdao Zheng Zhilong's troops were stronger than his own, Shen Youlong was even more anxious to expand, after all, for him, Zheng Zhilong was too ambitious.
Lord Shen, after our final decision, we still support you in forming a new army, but you must strictly follow our requirements, otherwise our country will withdraw military instructors and weapons funding.
In any case, Australia still decided to support them, at least this shows their determination, after all, there is more cooperation between the two sides than Zheng Zhilong, and Hong Kong is close to Guangzhou, which is the most important business season for Australians.
This is just Shen Youlong's own thoughts, in fact, who knows that the Australians plan to let him be this agent, as for how to act, it is to help him first train a troop out, which must absolutely obey his orders and be influenced by Australian culture.
Australia can provide him with weapons support, but this person must definitely maintain a close relationship with Australia, and they don't want their supporters to end up on the road of confrontation with them, which is really a bit against the final decision of the Executive Committee.
On both fronts, this decision is in everyone's interest, and the military will agree, and the recent military actions have received strong support from the government, and they will certainly make concessions as a compromise.
But now it's a matter of recruiting recruits for training, since Australia has promised him, weapons and ammunition will be delivered soon, and instructors will also be sent, after all, there is not much time left for Chongzhen to commit suicide, if you don't hurry up, it is likely to be more passive, and it may cause more new problems.
The soldiers of Liangguang are one of the main forces to resist the Manchus in the future, this is what the military said, so the sooner they are formed, the greater the help.
Shen Youlong was relieved to hear the final decision, he was afraid that the Australians would not agree in the end, so wouldn't all the efforts he had made be in vain. (To be continued.) )
