However, Liu Shiyuan soon saw that Lu Da also led two squadrons of soldiers over, his eyes widened, and he said, "Boss Lu, why are there two more squadrons?" ”

"I heard the Dutch are coming." Lu Da grinned and said: "Except for a few people in our army, the naval battle the day before yesterday was not played, this time people came to sue for peace, let's not put up a team, occupy a position, what will happen to our army in the future?" ”

Liu Shiyuan frowned and said, "So the rumors are true?" ”

"Seven or eight is not far from ten."

"Ahh

The squadron leaders next to him are all young men in their twenties, who have been soldiers for no more than three years, and some are two years of soldiers.

Then it is a little difficult to continue to move up, compared to those officers who have been soldiers for a year and then studied seriously for two or three years at the official school, those officers start at the squadron commander level, and it is easy to reach the company commander and battalion command level officers, and then go up to the level of war merit and luck, and now there are only a dozen regiments in Hutchison, less than 100 regiment-level officers, after all, the time is very short, and if you want to go up, you have to rely on time to polish, and you have to depend on luck.

The two veteran sergeant majors discussed things, and the three squadron leaders could only listen honestly to the side.

When it comes to specific commands, the squadron leader can be the master, and he can also discuss with the sergeant, and the final decision is still on the officer, of course, if he makes a mistake and loses the battle, the officer is also the top mine, and the sergeant major is only responsible for daily management, training, and providing ideas and suggestions during wartime, and it is still up to the officer to really fight.

At this time, it is evident that the authority and experience of the officers are far inferior to those of the veteran sergeants, and the information is not as well-informed as theirs...... This is also normal, the veteran sergeant majors in the battalion headquarters and the regimental headquarters will not communicate with these hairy junior officers, they have their own channels connected to each other, and the news is only exchanged between them.

If it is inconvenient to say it in public, the sergeant majors will also keep their mouths tight, and even the officers will not say it, let alone say it in public.

"A small number of people from our fourth regiment have been transferred, and there are not many people in the eleventh regiment, so we just let them out, and Commander Jiang will continue to be the commander of the empty shelf regiment." Lu Da said: "It is estimated that a marine battalion will be set up at sea, I heard that Wang Jingzhong is in charge of the command, and in the future, the Datong and Qingcheng, as well as those schooners, and the new ships we will build in the future, regardless of land and water, the sailor will be called the Taiwan Fleet of the Marching Division, which is now the first fleet, and there will definitely be a second and third fleets in the future." In addition to the naval officers and sailors, the officers and men of the Department of Industry and Commerce in charge of trade are the officers and men of our Marine Battalion. ”

Liu Shiyuan tugged at the short beard on his chin, and there was an unhappy look on his face.

The army does not advocate bearding, but the veteran sergeant major will always keep a short beard a little, because it is not explicitly stated, and the officers will not be serious about this little thing and the sergeant major they rely on, and the soldiers below will not follow suit without knowing whether they are alive or dead...... Only sergeants can grow beards, and over time it has become a symbol and tradition of the merchant army.

"Good Army, what kind of Marine battalion." Liu Shiyuan endured it or didn't hold back, and said in a loud voice: "Marine battalion, navy? When our merchant army army and army follow the adults to fight the world, what is the matter with the navy? ”

"You can't say that." Lu Da shook his head and said: "After all, Taiwan is an island, Taiwan does not value the navy, and other places can still use the navy as a dish?" Besides, you have been to Phi Island with the Zhenyuwei, Dongjiang Mao Shuai is not a good-tempered person, there are always tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, we have no strength at the beginning of the Phi Island Kuandian area, Zhenyuwei bombarded a circle, how about it, the Dongjiang side is much better when dealing with us. ”

"Transferring any regiment of our army is enough to sweep the Dongjiang River."

"This is also true, the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Dongjiang River are enough for us to fight a regiment."

"Two," said a squadron leader with a bitter face, "it's going to be too late if you don't leave." ”

"Hahaha, go, go, go immediately." Lu Da came to his senses, first made a haha, and then ordered everyone to prepare to set off, which was originally a horizontal phalanx, as long as it became a column.

This most basic queue change is as simple and natural as eating and drinking for the merchant army...... When many civilians first arrived in Taiwan, they liked to watch the change of the troop drill queue, and many impossible actions for the Ming army were normal here in the merchant army, God knows, when these young men first joined the army, they couldn't even distinguish between the left and right hands, but there were a lot of people, and they couldn't tell what was a positive step, what was a quick step, what was standing or resting, at most a month, everyone could be very similar in the queue, and at the same time, their spirit of obedience was also established in a little bit of detail.

After being a soldier for more than a year, these young men are also a standard soldier in their daily life, standing like a pine, sitting like a clock, walking and sitting have a certain demeanor, as long as they have seen what kind of appearance and demeanor the soldiers in Hutchison are, all the soldiers in the world are almost unsightly.

With Lu Da's order, the three musket squadrons formed three columns and walked towards the outside of the barracks with a leisurely pace.

Lu Da and several sergeant majors walked on both sides of the line, keeping an eye on the neatness of the queue and whether there was anything unusual, while the officers in the team followed the troops, who were more like ordinary soldiers than the sergeant majors.

It was indeed Lu Da and Liu Shiyuan who lost their words just now, there were many Liao people in the army, although they suffered a lot in the area of Phi Dao and Kuandian Tieshan, and many of them did not die on the way to escape, but they died of cold and starvation in the area of Phi Dao, and Dongjiang Town was not as good as Hutchison in any way, the difference was too far.

But no one resents Mao Wenlong, on the contrary, Mao Wenlong's prestige among the Liao people is extremely high, and now Zhang Han may also become a respected and trustworthy big man in the hearts of the Liao people, but after all, they have not really had close contact, and the old man of Hutchison has a lot of trust and love for Zhang Han's five-body throw, and it is mainly Mao Wenlong's preconceived ideas.

Words are indescribable when a group of people are followed by vicious alien pursuers, starving and freezing along the way, and finally having a place to contain them.

Even if people are dying of cold and starvation on Phi Island, and more than 100 corpses are carried out every day, at least Mao Wenlong provides a safe place to shelter the refugees and give them a chance to live.

This ray of life, after being hunted down and slaughtered, is enough to make the fleeing Liao people grateful for it for generations.

This is human nature, even if Hutchison is better for the refugees now, but it can't be counted in front of the Liao people in Lu Dagang's tone, the soldiers may begin to have the pride of being a merchant soldier, but after a long time, they will ponder, and then they will naturally have a sense of indignation in their hearts.

The soldiers from the Liao people have a sense of respect for the Dongjiang River, which is not a bad thing, and the high-level of the marching department has not deliberately suppressed it. It is better for people to have a conscience than not to have a conscience, remember the kindness of Dongjiang, and will be more loyal to Hutchison in the future, this self-confidence, from Zhang Han to Chang Wei and others are all there.

The three squadrons marched out of the camp gate, and when Lu Da gave the order, the troops began to sing the military song.

There is no ingenuity in the military song, that is, the military song sung by Qi Jiguang when he was in Jizhen, which is long and simple, full of the pride of a soldier who defends the country.

There are only minor revisions, and the sentence of reporting to the Son of Heaven is changed to reporting to the country, and the two words are easy, and the great Son of Heaven is gently left behind everyone's heads.

The loud military song attracted a lot of onlookers, who knew that the Dutch man was going to be tried in public today, and after the battle for several days, the high-level officials of the marching department were busy, and they were actually going to try a war criminal, which attracted quite a high degree of attention, and people wanted to know what the Dutch war criminal who made the marching division take great pains to look like, and what evil things he did, which provoked Zhang Xuwen, a good gentleman, to be tried by him.

Zhang Xuwen's image can be said to be the most popular and the best one in the marching division.

is humble and gentle, not the kind of courteous corporal who pretends to be friendly to others, but really regards himself as the same status as the people.

It's not that Zhang Xuwen doesn't have an identity, the deputy political officer of the marching department, the clan brother of Lord Zhang, and the identity of a member of Xiucai, all of them are far above ordinary people, but this person has no shelf, is friendly and gentle, and can speak and act in a way and is organized, even those Russian big noses are polite to this little Lord Zhang and don't put on any show.

Of course, people on the Taiwan side will not know that Zhang Xuwen once dueled with the most ferocious Cossacks on the territory of the Russians, and knocked down the other party with one shot.

In the eyes of the Russians, this is a warrior, and it is equally respectable to kill their own people.

In addition to managing the agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry of his own side, and the achievements are remarkable, the indigenous Zhang Xuwen has also made great efforts, several times into the mountains of hundreds of miles, and met with countless leaders of the indigenous associations, and his reputation and image are also spread and established on the indigenous side, more than half a year, in addition to his own business, Zhang Xuwen is a headlong in the mountains, originally still a fair-skinned and tall scholar, half a year has become extremely black and thin, if someone has not seen him for more than half a year, I am afraid that I will be frightened when I see him at once.

Today is due to be the public trial of the Dutch prisoners of war, and a few days are enough time for the news to spread that the natives who had been harassed and persecuted by the Dutch in the nearby mountains have come over.

It is not surprising that the natives do not grow cotton and spin cloth, nor do they raise silkworms and spin silk, that is, in winter, they just wrap themselves in thicker animal skins. Taiwan is also clothed in animal skins in winter, it is enough to be almost the same, and it is not yet autumn, the weather is very hot, and these natives simply come out naked.
