The time soon came for the Chinese New Year, and the queue to transport supplies finally stopped.

Because all the warehouses in the entire camp have been piled up with all kinds of supplies.

These materials do not need to be transferred from the distant Guanzhong or Central Plains regions, and the main source comes from the surrounding areas.

After that, materials will be mobilized from the standing positions in other regions to fill these gaps, so as to ensure that the people can be used in a critical situation.

But this is a coastal area, drought and other conditions are basically rare, and not all the people here depend on farming for a living.

Compared with the people in the Central Plains and Guanzhong areas, the people here have a richer diet, rice, noodles, and seafood are the main foods in the coastal areas.

And with this advantage, the last day of the fifth year of Shenyuan.

Located in Donghai County, the soldiers of Haizhou City also had a Chinese New Year's Eve meal that can be described as luxury.

There are pasta, rice, and all kinds of meat, large pieces of braised pork, fragrant steamed pork, steamed fish, fried fish, although I don't know what variety, but the soldiers were indeed shocked by this Chinese New Year's Eve meal.

At least, it was the most extravagant meal they had ever had in their lives.

And this night, even some drinks were provided, one bowl of liquor per person, all of which were half-catty bowls, and you could drink two more bowls of beer after drinking, and if you didn't drink liquor, you could drink three bowls of beer.

For some people who are good at drinking, this meal is indeed a meal that people don't know how to describe, in short, in a word, enough food, enough wine.

In the end, except for the soldiers on duty, everyone returned to their respective camps drunk and dizzy.

Of course, those who are on duty have already enjoyed this treatment two days ago.

New Year's Day is a day of great joy for the people, no matter how busy and hard it is during the year, on this day, there will always be a family together, eating in harmony and sharing all kinds of happiness.

For the imperial court, a grand court meeting should be held on this day, summarizing the last year, planning for the coming year, and then worshiping heaven and earth, praying for good weather in the coming year.

Then there is the holiday, which lasts for 15 days, which is also the longest holiday of the year.

The degree of hardship of the work of the ancients is by no means acceptable to later generations, the legal holidays of the year, that is, the beginning of the New Year's Day, to the fifteenth half of the month, and then add the rest day of ten days off, in addition, there are no other holidays.

The military camp in Haicheng also ushered in a rare holiday, and even the forbidden army, which had not yet completely completed its training, was given a three-day holiday, while other officers and soldiers were given a five-day holiday.

Of course, the so-called holidays are not pure freedom, you still have to take leave when you go out of camp, you still have to go out every morning, and you still have to return to camp before sunset.

It's just that the previous training can be done in the next few days.

But even so, it made the soldiers so excited.

However, as soon as the five-day holiday was over, the entire barracks returned to its previous life, which was still training, training, training.

The first three days maintained the training volume before the New Year's Day, and after three days, the training volume began to increase, and by the seventh day, that is, the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the training volume had returned to the level before the reduction.

And then it was maintained until the twentieth day of the first month, for the soldiers who have been training all year round, this is just their normal training, although they have relaxed for a period of time before, but it is still easy to accept the amount of training gradually increased in the short term.

Of course, while the soldiers had already received the original training intensity and adjusted their bodies to the best condition, the command gave a surprising but normal order to keep the drills every day and stop the rest of the training.

Everyone knew that in about two or three days, they would be on their way.

At the same time as receiving the order to stop training, there was also an order to write a letter to each person.

This is the practice in the army, every soldier will write a letter to stay in the camp before the army is going to go out, if unfortunately killed in battle, this letter will be sent out as a suicide note, and those who can come back alive can take back the letter, tear it up, burn it, or keep it, dispose of it at will, no one will care.

In addition to these changes, at the beginning of the new year, their military uniforms were changed, exactly the same as the military uniforms of the forbidden army, the colors of Tubula, divided into two pieces, and the shoulders also wore epaulettes corresponding to their respective ranks, and during this time, they were constantly adapting to the new formation.

In other words, is it adapting to the new name, the establishment is still that formation, but the name is changed.

In the command center, it was extremely busy, and all the officers above the division commander gathered at the command center, and at the same time, Liu Li, the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander, came together.

His identity is not like those who joined the army, but like those division commanders, he came to receive tasks.

The establishment of the Forbidden Army is different from that of the Marine Corps, which is the same as that of other land forces.

Compared with the forbidden army, the other army establishments are basically not much different at the battalion level, and there are dozens more in number, but in the establishment of regiments and divisions, they are far inferior to the forbidden army.

The full strength of a battalion of the forbidden army is 1,042 people, while the full strength of a battalion of the Marine Corps is 1,142 people, because each battalion has 11 men, and the rest are all equal, and a battalion of 100 men will naturally have 100 more people.

The forbidden army is a five-five organization, and the marines are three-three, with three battalions as one regiment and three regiments as one division, and the full strength of the division is 10,870 men.

Although there is an army formation, Wang Xuance did not suggest setting up this establishment, because for the time being, there is no need for this, so the establishment of the expeditionary force is five divisions, plus a forbidden military camp, and of course, there are thousands of warships of various kinds.

Well, let's talk too much, there are only a hundred battleships, still of different sizes, and the rest are all transport ships, and none of them are large, and each of them can only carry a maximum of one battalion of troops.

But even then, the scale is enormous.

When more than 1,000 warships appeared in front of them, they still frightened the fishermen who were fishing.

Because before this, these warships and transports were scattered in various ports and did not converge, so no one realized that Datang had built so many warships in a few years.

"The destination of this expedition is here, an island, we named it Jeju Island, according to the preliminary investigation, there are not many people living on this island, but the specific number of people is unknown for the time being, and the defense force is unknown, but according to the reconnaissance, it should not be strong.

But this is not a reason for you to let your guard down, and you must be very energetic in any action, and do not regret it when something goes wrong, because by that time it will be too late. At the beginning of the meeting, Wang Xuance solemnly reminded.

The number of participants was not large, only ten division commanders and deputy division commanders, and ten chief and deputy commanders of staff, plus Wang Xuance, as well as the conquest commander who belonged to the command, and Liu Li, these twenty people.

There are guards belonging to the headquarters guarding outside the account, within a radius of 100 meters, no one is allowed to approach, although the possibility of leaking secrets is not large, but all the protection is prepared in accordance with the requirements of wartime.

"Do you know why I suggested that Your Majesty not set up the army for the time being?" Wang Xuance continued, but he didn't intend to wait for them to respond, so he continued: "Because I don't know which two of the five of you should be chosen to be the commander of this army, and I also don't want Your Majesty to transfer other people from other places to be the commander, maybe they are older, but you have worked hard here for a few years, even if you want to be the commander of this army, you can only choose from the five of you."

Your Majesty's request has long been known to you, and I will not say much about this, but I must remind you that Your Majesty's request for me is also my request to you. I want the results of the battle, I want this requirement, and whoever can achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost will be the commander. ”

Wang Xuance's words surprised the hearts of the people below, although there are only two positions of military commander, but things can't be seen like this, with a military commander, there must always be a deputy military commander, right? There must always be a chief and deputy in the army, right? And the vacated position of division commander must be picked up by someone, right?

And there is only one point for people, and it can even be said that as long as they do not perform particularly badly in this battle, as long as they can achieve even a few results at the lowest cost, they may become a division commander or join the army.

The army commander is fought for by those division commanders, but the division commander is a piece of good meat in the eyes of those deputy division commanders.

"Announce the mission below, our army will land here!" Wang Hyunce pointed to the northern part of Jeju Island and continued: "However, due to the limited transportation capacity, it is impossible to send five divisions of troops at the same time, so the first troops to board the ship and set off are the first division and the forbidden army camp. It was all beaches, ideal for landing, and about thirty miles north of it was a pier suitable for warships. The 1st Division sent a part of its troops to land here, and then went north to cover, and the rest of the troops waited outside the pier with the forbidden army camp, before the attack, with the wolf smoke as a signal, the wolf smoke rose, and the forbidden army camp took the lead, relying on the advantage of rifles and ships, quickly controlled the entire pier, and shot the enemy, while the rest of the 1st division, quickly occupied the dock, and then expanded it, and the whole division gathered in one place, held here, and waited for the follow-up troops to land. ”

Wang Xuance originally planned to let the forbidden army camp swim over, and then attack inside and outside, but after thinking about it, there was no need for this, it was better to stand directly on the ship, and use the height advantage to directly kill the enemy on the ground, and the follow-up troops could use this advantage to quickly land, and then control the dock, at this time the forbidden army could get off the ship and cooperate with them to continue to expand the results of the battle, waiting for the convergence of the external attacking troops.

And these ships themselves can transport the personnel and materials of two divisions at one time, but Wang Xuance is worried that there will be problems in the future, such as some uncontrollable weather factors, so he decided to only transport one division, and then equip them with three divisions of supplies, even if there are weather problems in the follow-up, there is no need to worry about their supplies, so that they can have enough materials to support the arrival of reinforcements.

Of course, there is another sentence that Wang Xuance did not say, this landing operation is actually for military training, yes, military training, fierce battles? Maybe not!
