Chapter 37 The Qing Army Dispatches
With the flintlock rifled gun, or according to Yang Feng's name, the Ming Army's Type 1 rifle was officially equipped, and his two battalions of the army finally abandoned the ancient arquebus and began to truly have the appearance of a modern army.
And the formation of the third battalion also began.
During this period of time, because of the advertising effect in Hangzhou, the number of people who came from the other side of the river to defect increased day by day, and the problem of troop sources could no longer be considered, including the original two battalions were also fully established, and now the total strength of the Ming Army exceeded 2,500 people.
After all, he can already be said to be showing miracles, in fact, the reason why he is so high-profile is to advertise himself, especially the people of Hangzhou who have witnessed how he ravaged the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners, and they are extremely looking forward to Wang Shi fighting as soon as possible. Because he knew that Yang Feng's troops were too small, some impatient young people simply ran to defect, according to the current situation, Yang Feng really wanted to take Hangzhou, that is, to land and then raise his arms. In fact, as long as he lands on the entire eastern coast of Zhejiang, the people in most places will line up to welcome him, and tens of thousands of Qing troops stationed in this area have long caused the people's resentment to boil, on the contrary, Yang Feng's super killer weapon that does not pay for food has also begun to show its power.
The slogan of not paying food for the Ming Dynasty has long been quietly spread among the people, although the braid drama has blown the Kang Mazi era to the point of shehuiism, but in fact, just like when Yang Feng bought Han Ying and his wife, the boss of the boat said, there is no place where people starve to death in a disaster in any year, and for the people, the three words of not paying food are as shocking as thunder.
But it's not time yet, it's useless to fight down and can't hold it, he is indeed very strong now, and there are more powerful plug-ins, but he can't guard such a vast land by himself, in the absence of enough troops to guard, seize eastern Zhejiang at most and turn it into a tug-of-war battlefield, and in the end it is the Han people who die, he is to save the people from fire and water instead of pushing the people to fire and water, so the standard he set for himself is very simple......
"Two brigades, at least two brigades can be trained to fight, before we can consider expanding to the land."
Yang Feng stretched out two fingers and said.
The current military system of the Ming army adopts six levels of military brigade battalion sentry teams, a group of ten people and four groups as a team, four teams as a sentry, four outposts as a battalion, four battalions as a brigade, and four brigades as an army, and the total strength of an army will be close to 30,000 according to the actual establishment, while the strength of a brigade is close to 6,000.
Such a force is enough.
His strategy of pre-Taiwan has not changed, after all, there is his large industrial base, but even if he only occupies Keelung and Tamsui, if he wants to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he will have to leave at least one brigade to guard, and then the military headquarters and another brigade will attack eastern Zhejiang, first take the line of Ningbo, Hangzhou and Huzhou, and block the narrow passage of Huzhou. There is no need to worry too much about the southern front, the mountains and mountains are not so easy to attack, and the main theater of operations is still placed on the northern front, and after locking Huzhou to control the water surface of Taihu Lake, it will seize the Susong area to the north.
In this way, the first stage of the strategy was completed, and then during this period, the army was rapidly expanded to complete the establishment of an army, and then industry and commerce were developed with the natural advantages of emphasizing commerce and a large number of industrial workers in this area.
When one of his armies is all capable of fighting, he can continue to encroach outward, he is not in a hurry, Kang Mazi has to live for twenty years according to the original history, slowly play with him, you can't stab him to death with a knife, in that case, Yang Feng doesn't need an army, and he will carry a tank of chlorine gas into the Forbidden City by himself without pressure. But in that case, it's useless, he just slaughters the inner city of Beijing, and then the world will definitely be in chaos and enter the warlord melee, and the people will suffer a second time, and he will have to trouble cleaning up the mess little by little.
Step by step, it's best to make sure that the camp is steady.
Of course, this tactic is step-by-step for him, but for Kang Mazi, it is the spirit of cutting flesh with a knife, and the Great Emperor of Bran, who will live for another five hundred years, will have to watch his so-called prosperous empire disappear from his hands little by little, watch his clansmen and even relatives die tragically one after another, watch his dreams and ambitions come to naught little by little, and in the end, he is left to sit there alone, watching the sword pierce into his heart little by little......
This kind of pain is far more ruthless than slaughtering with a knife.
"In that case, I'm afraid that the financial resources of Zhoushan alone will not be enough to support it."
Huang Baijia said very directly.
He had skin injuries all over his body, and after taking a lot of antibiotics, he was now mostly scabbed over and his normal activities were not hindered.
"You don't need to think about this problem, my biggest ability is not to fight, but to make money, I can not only ensure that the people of Zhoushan will not have any burden, but will take them to live a better life day by day. And the main task of all of you is to help me manage the civil affairs well, and the other is to help me do a good job in education, the popularization of primary education is almost completed, the next step is secondary school and university, the former is still compulsory education, the latter is changed to fee-based education, but scholarships are provided, and schools with good grades give him money to help him complete his studies.
In addition, there are military schools.
Next, you need to build at least 10 middle schools, a university, and a military academy for the navy and army, the scale does not need to be too large for the time being, but the system must be established, this is a set of educational syllabus that I have written, you can take it and look at it, and follow this syllabus. ”
Yang Feng said.
"Dashuai, will the imperial examination also be reopened?"
Lu Yizhong asked impatiently.
"Open, of course! But the content of the exam had to change. ”
Yang Feng said with a smile.
The imperial examination is definitely going to be carried out, if you don't do the imperial examination, you will be the enemy of all the scholars in the world, as long as this class still takes the top prize, they generally don't care who rules themselves, and it is also very good to be a civil service exam, not to mention that he also needs a magistrate. In this era, it is a very terrible thing to hold elections, and provincial and county officials must also adopt the appointment system, and after the world is stable and the education of the common people is popularized, it can be gradually changed to elections, but in the foreseeable short term, this is still very nonsense.
In this way, it is still necessary to take the imperial examination.
It's just that the content of the exam must be changed, and nonsense like Bagu Wen can be kicked into the garbage heap, and it is true to take more practical things, although at this time readers rely on Bagu Wenming, but fortunately, this class has a very strong adaptability, it is estimated that even if Yang Feng specializes in scientific and technological papers in the future, they will quickly throw away the previous books and go to read Tiangong Kaiwu, as long as there is a champion brand in front, they will not mind which way to pass.
For this result, Lu Yi and others are also very satisfied, the content of the imperial examination has changed, this is all necessary, they originally hated Baguwen, even if Yang Feng didn't say it, they had to suggest that Yang Dashuai abandon this kind of garbage, as for what to take in the future, this will be said later, anyway, the imperial examination didn't say that it would be taken now, then at least all kinds of preparations must be done, and at least Zhedong must be taken before this problem is considered, but since Dashuai promised to reopen the imperial examination, it can be completely reassuring.
A group of people were talking, when suddenly there was a cannon shot outside.
"It's a battery!"
Lao Chen hurriedly walked out of the door and looked out, there was smoke from the muzzle of a cannon on the fort not far away, and next to this cannon, a soldier was waving the flag in his hand.
"Enemy attack!"
Immediately after that, Zheng Jian, who was beside him, read out the meaning of the flag language.
"Let's go, go out and have a look!"
Yang Feng waved his hand and said, and soon everyone went out to get on their horses and went straight to the fort, and when they arrived there, they could see the dense sails on the sea in the distance without binoculars.
"Madamn, the dog Tartar is finally out!"
Seeing this scene, Zheng Jian said excitedly.
These ships came from the south, that is, the Fujian Navy Division that was burned once last time, which is also the most powerful maritime force of the Qing army in this war zone, since arriving in Shipu, the two sides have not fought a naval battle, even if they were slapped so hard last time, Wu Ying endured not to fight, and this time it finally came out.
"Ningbo's Tartars have also gone to sea!"
Lao Chen, holding the binocular, shouted.
On the sea south of Jintang Island, dozens of warships ride the wind and waves, and the Xu Ziling flag on the ship is faintly visible, this is the remnant warship of the Zhejiang Navy Division of Xu Jiugong's department, since the continuous defeat of almost the entire army was wiped out, this remnant of the defeated army will hide on the Yongjiang River, this is also the first time to go to sea to fight.
"Beacon!"
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yi pointed his finger to the northwest and shouted.
There, a cloud of wolf smoke was rising.
"It seems that the Yangtze River Sailor has also joined in this excitement, the Tartars are going to play a decisive battle, it's okay, let's go to the door to find them, this time we have to let them have no sails left, and order, all the warships will leave the port to meet the enemy, and tell the brothers that winning this battle on the sea is our world."
Yang Feng said with a sneer.
What he is looking forward to the most is this kind of battle, although the strength of the Qing army's naval division is not worth mentioning, but these more than 100 warships are hiding on the opposite bank, he can't do a lot of things here, before they hid in the port and inland rivers and did not come out, and now they actually took the initiative to come out to die, of course he is willing to do it, as long as this naval division is solved, the entire East China Sea is his world, and at that time it is just right to send troops to Taiwan to seize Keelung.
After getting the order of the marshal, all the Ming warships in the port were all anchored, including Yang Feng also quickly boarded the Valkyrie, together with the Dutch merchant ship captured a few days ago, one by one continued to sail out of the port, quickly divided into three teams, Yang Feng led the main force south to meet the Fujian Naval Division, Zheng Jian took the Dutch merchant ship as the flagship and led 30 warships to meet Xu Jiugong, Ma Laoda led 30 warships to meet the Yangtze River Naval Division, and the final decisive battle between the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties at sea officially kicked off.
