Chapter 315: Zheng Sen Returns to China
Zheng Sen's return date has basically been determined, and in the end, he still didn't tell Chang Xin'er to leave that day, but said that he would definitely tell her before leaving, in fact, he was afraid of the moment he left at the port. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Therefore, Zheng Sen did not tell her the truth, and this time he will go to Hong Kong, and then go to Guangzhou to take up his post, and it is said that Shen Youlong, the governor of Liangguang, is already negotiating with his father, hoping to keep himself in Liangguang for a while.
This is an opportunity for him, of course, it is up to him whether he can convince his father during this period, after all, Zheng Zhilong is not such a good talker, and the girl he chose is also a well-known local family in Fujian, hoping to strengthen the rule of the Zheng family here through marriage.
If Zheng Sen didn't go back to get married, wouldn't it be frustrating his plan, but fortunately, the dowry was not given, and the two parties just talked about it verbally, otherwise it would really make both parties embarrassed in the end.
Zheng Zhilong is reluctant to keep his son to serve in Liangguang when Shen Youlong wants to leave his son, speaking of which Zheng Sen went to Australia to study, he didn't agree with it, and now that he has returned from his studies, he must want to return to his home to help, and let him go to you Isn't it for you to make a wedding dress for you.
Zheng Zhilong said very clearly in his reply, trying his best to show that Zheng Sen was inconvenient, and at the same time explaining why, but after Zheng Sen's letter was sent back, he began to find that this matter was probably not so simple, how could Shen Youlong, a governor of Liangguang, be interested in his son, I am afraid that Zheng Sen's own thoughts are indispensable to this.
This time Zheng Sen was arranged to return to China, and he went with several other students of the military academy, all of whom were his classmates, although they had joined the Australian nationality, but under Zheng Sen's persuasion, they still decided to accompany Zheng Sen to Daming.
After all, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, almost the entire north had fallen into the hands of foreign races, and the southern rivers and mountains were also in danger, and at this time they were in urgent need of hot-blooded teenagers like them, especially students with military training.
At present, the way of engagement between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is mainly based on cold weapons, which are the weapons they mainly use, and it may be that the most used firearms are still cannons, after all, this number of Manchus like to use the most.
At present, they have not seen the power of Australian artillery, so naturally they don't know how powerful the Australians' artillery is, and the flintlock pistol is much better than the one made by the Ming Dynasty, so they may be able to become a surprise soldier on the battlefield in the future.
Of course, this must be in the case of having a certain number, if a certain number is missing, it is only equipped with large-scale Australian weapons, in fact, it is not of much use.
Take the current Liangguang New Army as an example, what is their combat strength, if you want to compare it with the Australian army, it will definitely not be comparable, after all, their weapons and equipment have not met the requirements, and this alone cannot be compared with Australia.
In one case, they have not conducted actual combat, and the actual combat experience is still insufficient, but Australia's actual combat experience is still quite good in this regard.
Otherwise, the combat effectiveness of the Australians would make Shen Yulong feel scared.
When Australia trains recruits, it often uses live ammunition for training, but the new army of Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and Guangzhou, cannot do without so much live ammunition, you must know that weapons and ammunition are quite expensive, and they do not have so much money to carry out this experiment.
If they had a choice, they would definitely choose other ways instead, so Zhou Yang had proposed more than once that they should focus on live-fire training, otherwise it would be difficult for the troops to train them.
Lao Shen has this idea, but live-fire training costs money, and your Australians' ammunition is not cheap, even after discounted ammunition, it is quite expensive.
There is no choice but to train in this way.
Before I returned, I had heard that I was reluctant to use ammunition in order to save money during the training of Liangguang, but I didn't know it was true until later.
This made Zheng Sen deeply understand that it is not easy to build an army completely according to the Australian model, not to mention anything else, this alone can make it difficult for them.
As for whether Fujian can form a new army, it should still be possible, after all, the Zheng family has overseas trade, and the two Guangxi are relatively weak in this regard, which is why Lao Shen is so enthusiastic about foreign trade, because he can make money, and only by making money can he form a new army.
His new army is a baby bump in the eyes of others, these soldiers eat well and dress well, but at the same time they train more than others, and the army trained in this way must be much stronger than ordinary Ming soldiers.
Of course, the most important thing is that Australia forced him to do this, and he must comply with this basic requirement, otherwise this new army unit and other troops will not have any requirements.
Zheng Sen came back this time with five friends, two of these five people emigrated from the early Ming Dynasty, and three were overseas Chinese, and the main purpose of their return was to help Zheng Sen establish a new army unit.
Although they are currently serving in the Liangguang New Army, and their official positions are not too big, they are all voluntary, knowing that the current situation of the Ming Dynasty is very critical, if the original army wants to defeat the Manchu Eight Banners, I am afraid that it will be a bit difficult, not to mention, and it may be completely annihilated.
Ah Sen, I know this time that we have heard it true, the weapons and equipment of the two new armies are really not good, and they are not a grade compared with the Australian army.
Huang Wei, you stupid, the weapons used by the two Guangxin Army and the weapons we use in service are not good products of the same era, if you want to say that the equipment we use is upgraded, it is naturally better than theirs.
Zheng Sen taught his companions a lesson, but repeatedly told them not to say such things in front of the soldiers, after all, it would have a certain impact on their hearts.
If you want to say that the weapons used by the Liangguang New Army are poor, then the weapons used by the Zheng family are actually not as good as those of the Liangguang New Army.
After all, they are authentic Australian goods, and they are much better than the Zheng family's bird guns, at least much better than the Dutch and Spaniards, otherwise how would they buy Australian goods and not buy others.
So you can't look at the surface, and you can't completely compare him with Australia, Australia must use the most advanced weapons, not to mention that people have money, and even if they are sold to you, you can't afford to use them, the price and maintenance costs alone are definitely not low, so there is nothing to choose a lower grade, after all, the weapons used by the two Guangxi are still good.
In any case, people are equipped with a unit of Australian weapons, but there is no such treatment in other places in Daming. (To be continued.) )
