Chapter 565: Army
As for the three provinces of Anbei, West Borneo and Sumatra, the natural environment is not much different from that of Ansi and Java. But the local aborigines, unlike Java and Anxi provinces www.biquge.info have all moved cleanly. Therefore, the influx of foreign ethnic groups will inevitably affect or even hinder the interests of the indigenous people. Conflicts and misunderstandings caused by differences in living habits, beliefs, languages, etc., will exacerbate tensions between the two sides.
Therefore, in these provinces, people-to-people problems are the main reason for determining whether new immigrants can settle down.
And among the three provinces, Anbei Province is undoubtedly the highest security risk.
Because the cannibals in Anbei Province have not been wiped out so far. Even under the leadership of the Ming Dynasty, Anbei Province has been developed for five or six years.
But the area of Apbuk province is too big!
Except for the developed plateaus and plains within 20 kilometers of the coast, as well as the inland lowlands along the river, the rest of the place is still untouched primeval forest area. Those native cannibals used this as a hiding place and constantly attacked the settlements of the Ming Dynasty.
The frequency of attacks is highest in the riverside lowlands, especially in the lowlands, which are close to the interior.
It was also the new immigrants who expanded inland along the river, squeezing the living space of cannibals more and more. Therefore, for the sake of the life and death of the entire race, the cannibals did not hesitate to hit the stone with eggs and resist the Ming Dynasty.
However, their counterattack was obviously useless. Because the new immigrants who have settled in are not good people. Many people, even prisoners who have been sentenced to labor camps and have been sentenced to unforgivable crimes.
So the attack alone is simply impossible to scare them away.
And Da Ming has already taken this issue into account!
When settlements are established, targeted military training is carried out for new immigrants. So that in the event of an attack, there is a certain ability to respond. Coupled with sharp muskets, the newcomers' ability to protect themselves is not bad.
In the traditional battle against cannibals, the newcomers have always lost less and won more.
The Qing refugees who are now resettled in Anbei Province are more or less guilty of crimes. In terms of adaptability, it is much better than those good citizens.
To be on the safe side, the Ming Dynasty retained formed armies in all provinces, including Anbei Province.
As long as the attacks are too frequent, the military will step in.
You know, this is no ordinary army. It is a mountain force specially established by the Ming Dynasty to cope with the tropical natural conditions in the South Seas. It can maintain the best combat capability in the tropical forest with harsh natural conditions, thorns, and miasma.
Skills such as reconnaissance, raiding, assault, search, and other special units will be mastered by mountain troops.
So that in their hands, those cannibals and aborigines will not get any benefit.
In addition, in order to make up for the lack of troops, the Ming Dynasty also expanded the number of dead soldiers in Japan.
In the end, their commissions are very low, and they are more brave in battle. So after tasting the sweetness, Da Ming made the decision to expand the number of dead soldiers. Many Japanese samurai became Ming mercenaries in this way, and they were born and died for the Ming Dynasty.
But whenever there are difficult tasks and evil things that cannot be seen, the Ming will assign them and order them to deal with them.
Despite the high casualty rate, the completion of the mission is also very gratifying.
Although in Daming's opinion, their treatment is very poor. But in the eyes of these Japanese dead soldiers, the conditions of the Ming Dynasty could not be better. Because anyone who died in battle or was disabled for life, Daming would give a generous pension. His widow and children can also be properly resettled.
Those who retired due to injury can also engage in some work within their capacity under the arrangement of Daming. Anyway, they won't let them live on the streets and live like the walking dead.
And when they were in Japan, they fought for their respective lords. Dead or wounded, no one cares at all. So I am very grateful that Daming can solve their worries.
This made it so that when the Ming Dynasty recruited the dead soldiers in Japan, the samurai always rushed to sign up. Even those civilians are also red-eyed and hot-hearted.
It's a pity that Daming only cooperates with those daimyo who have territories. Even if you recruit people, they will ask them to help recruit. When the number of people is almost the same, Daming will conduct a unified screening. Eliminate those old, weak, sick and disabled, and the rest will be high-quality soldiers.
It is also at this stage, with the development of Japanese society, the rise of the merchant class. The daimyo under the jurisdiction of the shogunate all declined to varying degrees. Unable to support their retainers, the samurai, many samurai were forced to engage in crimes such as robbery.
Therefore, on the streets of Japan, the most common scene is that the samurai are brave and fierce.
In the eyes of the shogunate, they also became more and more a serious obstacle to social security and stability.
Now that there was a place to take them in, the shogunate was naturally overjoyed. Anyway, in this way, they not only remove the hidden safety hazards, but also get a generous referral fee.
Such a good thing, naturally worked very hard to help Daming recruit troops.
It is for this reason that Da Ming has been able to recruit enough warriors so smoothly. The combat effectiveness of the dead soldiers is also extremely high because of the courage and ruthlessness of the samurai.
Gather them together at the moment and train them according to the method of the Great Ming. In time, it can become a sharp knife. Wherever they are asked, they will go.
But in order to prevent this sharp knife from hurting itself, Da Ming also took very strict precautions against this dead soldier's troops. Like all the troops above the company level in the Ming Dynasty, they are equipped with instructors.
On weekdays, this instructor is not responsible for the specific affairs of the troops. For example, marching and fighting, daily training, logistics and grass are not within his management. The main job is to talk to the soldiers regularly and explain the real-time decrees of the Ming Dynasty. Let them feel the care of Daming in their shoes.
imperceptibly, let their three views converge with the Ming Dynasty.
invisibly, deepen their loyalty to the People's Army and the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, instructors are also responsible for military discipline, and although they do not have the right to punish, they have the right to report to the higher level. The merits and demerits of the officers were also recorded by him.
This is different from the way ordinary soldiers record their merits and deeds.
Due to the particularity of the dead soldiers' troops, the Ming Dynasty stipulated that the establishment of the dead soldiers at or above the company level must be equipped with double instructors. This is obviously stricter than those units that have regular numbers and belong to the major corps.
Today, the Ming Dynasty has a dead army of 50,000 soldiers. With a scale ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 people, they were stationed in the provinces of Anbei, Cochin, West Borneo, Ceylon, and North Malaysia. They resolutely implemented the iron-blooded policy of the Ming Dynasty in the local area, which greatly deterred the local anti-Ming elements. It ensured the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty and maintained the legitimate rule of the Ming Dynasty.
