006 Forming a Hunter
On the land of Los Angeles, the houses that people live in have not been built very well, but the houses where the horses live, that is, the stables, are also built at high speeds. www.biquge.info The horses from Zheng He's fleet were originally housed on special "horse boats" that housed livestock, provided horses for the soldiers of the fleet, and provided necessary meat. However, it is clear that the mortality rate on these boats is very high, even though various measures have been taken to make it easier for livestock to survive. Therefore, every time the fleet arrived, it had to spend a lot of money to buy batches of livestock.
After dozens of days of wind and waves, some of the precious sweaty and Arabian horses on the ship have died violently, and the rest are either half-dead or listless. Therefore, at the suggestion of Zheng He, the decision committee first transferred these horses from the horse boats and placed them in a temporary horse farm on land.
Although this land is also extremely unfamiliar to the horses, many horses have regained a little physical strength and spirit after feeling the solid ground, breathing the air without the smell of salt, and eating a mouthful of tender green grass.
Liu Fangwu, a major general of the Guofu Army, took his personal entourage Liu Zhenlong to the horse farm to inspect the situation of the horses here.
His personal entourage is also his brother-in-law, so he is even more unscrupulous, and follows Liu Fangwu to complain: "Junzuo, those junjun are too cunning, although they arranged for you to be a member of the committee of Lao Shizi, as if talking can work, but this committee member seat is not yet hot, so I sent you to train cavalry, I really don't take you seriously." ”
Liu Fangwu had a different mentality, he smiled indifferently, and said: "When I was in the Northeast, although the military rank was promoted to major general, but the salary was extremely meager, our family was dozens of old and young, there were old mothers who couldn't take care of themselves, and the children were only of school age, and the little ones were waiting to be fed. When we first arrived here, at least the people of the army treated us with great respect, and the fleet was not particularly rich in supplies, so I took up this position as a commissioner, and at least my family ate and drank well, and was treated preferentially. ”
Brother-in-law Liu Zhenlong smashed his mouth and said: "Junzuo, your heart is too small, look at the side of the Junjun, the person who is talking is only a major general at the same level as you." ”
Liu Fangwu sighed: "Although the major generals are all major generals, my major general is a false position, but the major general over there is like a soldier with an arm." I really don't know what drastic changes have happened in the past 70 years, look at the spirit of this army, it is similar to that year, but the equipment is beyond our imagination. Thinking about it, it is also an honor, regardless of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, after all, they are both descendants of China, and the defeat of the Guofu army to Taiwan Island is also a manifestation of the people's will, and it is gratifying that the party has reversed the century-old predicament and re-established itself as a world-class country after becoming poor and weak. ”
Liu Zhenlong rubbed his nose, waved his hand and said, "Brother-in-law, I don't understand these big truths of yours. But I don't know if it's better to come to this ghost place, or to go to Taiwan as planned. Do you think about how many characters must have been lost from the mainland to that small island. Let's just say that Xue Yue, who came here with us, is the leader of the upper rank under Chang Kaishen's hand. When our family arrives in Taiwan, I'm afraid it's the same as before, poor as water, brother-in-law, you have a high personality and clean sleeves, which makes the whole family live a tight life. Now, not to mention what small calculations the Jue Army has, at least your position is here, if the Jue Army is not very malicious, it may develop better. ”
Liu Fangwu has nothing to do with his brother-in-law, he always feels indebted to his family, Liu Fangwu is indifferent by nature, he is not good at fighting for fame and fortune, and he does his duty. This also made him not famous after creating the miracle of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's extraterritorial victory in Ren'anqiang, saving 7,500 British troops and their families and journalists. Even later, a Hun surnamed Lin took the credit for this splashing sky, and it was not until the eighties that Liu Fangwu's merits were re-recognized.
"Staying in the national army is no longer a practical thing. Since I returned from Burma, I haven't taken any serious troops with me. Coming here, even if it's just to form a cavalry, at least it's my job, and it's better than being idle and boring. This land is now inhabited by all our compatriots, brothers, family members and children, and it is the duty of my soldiers to stand on hunting and riding to obtain rations for my compatriots, but also to defend our homeland. Liu Fangwu's voice was not loud, but his tone was sonorous.
Liu Zhenlong has nothing to argue with, but he still can't trust the "Future Jue Party" who is now in charge. Liu Fangwu saw it more openly, if he was allowed to surrender in the forty-ninth year, he would not be able to do it with his belief as a traditional martial artist. The situation is different now, strictly speaking, there is no direct conflict of interest, on the contrary, only cooperation can survive.
There were already peacekeeping officers waiting here at the racecourse, it was Xu Daorun before, and when he saw Liu Fangwu coming, Xu Daorun took the lead in saluting, "General Liu." ”
Liu Fangwu also solemnly returned a military salute.
One of these two people is wearing a national army officer uniform, with a blue sky and white sun emblem on his head, and the other is wearing 07-style camouflage, with a five-star red flag on his epaulettes.
"General, the military horses are all here, except for some that are still recovering their strength and adapting to the environment, the others are basically ready to ride. It's just that there are a lot of stallions here, and our soldiers, because they don't know much about the habits of military horses, put two of them in a fence, and as a result, they fought very fiercely, and when they pulled away, they also injured people. In the end, it was the senior horse breeders from the Ming Dynasty fleet that generally set the order here. Xu Daorun introduced.
Liu Fangwu held on to the fence, looked at the horses that were strolling leisurely inside, and exclaimed: "This is a bloody horse, it is really a miracle horse." When they led the troops before, the domestic officers rode on bantam horses, and later in battle, some people captured the Japanese army's Oriental horses, which were much better. But compared to this sweaty BMW, it is still a few points worse. ”
Xu Daorun also nodded and said: "These horses, if they were placed in our time, would have been given to foreign heads of state as national treasures and national gifts, and they were extremely precious." Now I can't imagine that I will become our military horse. ”
Liu Fangwu smiled, observed for a while, and said, "Take out a horse and I'll take a look." ”
Xu Daorun beckoned a peacekeeper and a Ming Dynasty horse breeder into the fence, and pulled out a maroon BMW, Xu Daorun said: "This is a four-year-old mare, most of the stallions here are not castrated, in order to breed, we are not willing to castrate the stallion for the sake of riding, so now the vast majority of those who can be ridden are mares with a relatively gentle temperament." ”
Liu Fangwu agreed: "This is also the proper meaning. ”
The saddles of the war horses are all from the Ming Dynasty, so they are not so modern, but they are enough to use. Liu Fangwu rode this horse around the horse farm for a week, and when he came back, he laughed and said: "The horse's hooves are light and strong, and it is indeed a rare good horse!" ”
After turning over and dismounting, Liu Fangwu said again: "How many horses can be ridden now?" ”
"Excluding other uses, there are now only one hundred and thirty-two horses that can be listed as war horses."
"In this case, the Hunter Cavalry is only suitable for the temporary formation of a company of troops. But it's basically enough. ”
Xu Daorun said again: "In fact, not everyone in the hunting horse has a horse to ride, we also have vehicles such as jeeps, so we can also count them as cavalry." In addition, the main task of hunting and riding is to hunt to increase meat, and after entering the woodland, horses may not be easy to use. ”
Liu Fangwu bowed his head and said: "This is a good word, I will form a hunting horse in the name of the decision-making committee, and select men with experience, courage, skills and resilience from the three major fleets to form an army. Since this is the case, we will first set up a cavalry company, a car company, and a chaser company as the goal to form our cavalry hunting unit. ”
Liu Fangwu held the warrant of the decision-making committee in his hand, and he could select qualified people from the military personnel of the three fleets, which was also considered a great power. However, this power is not unsupervised, and Xu Daorun on the side is actually the person responsible for supervising Liu Fangwu's conscription. In terms of personnel, Liu Fangwu could not have the final say, and Zhao Daling would definitely order middle-level officers such as Bai Nan and Xu Daorun to arrange for some trustworthy officers and non-commissioned officers of the peacekeeping battalion to enter the cavalry hunting unit. Moreover, breaking up the original affiliation and mixing into a new organization is also an attempt by the Decision Committee, Zhao Daling and others want to see what kind of sparks will burst out under the cooperation of the three forces.
In fact, when Liu Fangwu began to prepare for the recruitment of soldiers, he took the organizational opinions from the Decisive Committee on the formation of hunting horses. At the discussion meeting of the final committee, this opinion also caused some controversy.
"Sure enough, does the headquarters of the Hunter still need an instructor? Just let the party build a party branch here. It was Xue Yue who said this, but Liu Fangwu didn't say anything. As a pioneer of anti-corruption for many years, Xue Yue is naturally very sensitive to such words, although he was carried into this committee, but his distrust of others is overflowing.
Yao Weichun, an elderly comrade in charge of the Confucius Institute, said with a smile: "This political commissar system was also copied by the Taiwan authorities in your time and space, and including you, you are all important figures in promoting the military's political work system. ”
Zhao Daling was a man of harmony, and he said with a smile: "We set up political commissars and instructors, not to propagate redism, but to unify the thinking within the army, enhance unity, and also to enhance the understanding of officers and commanders and fighters at the grassroots level. ”
Then there was silence for a while, and then, Liu Fangwu, who is also a member of the Republic of China, spoke: "I voted to approve this organizational proposal. ”
Xue Yue looked at Liu Fangwu in amazement, his old face was red, and he felt betrayed, but he was not very familiar with this major general. Then he said, "No matter what, this resolution will pass, right?" Then it doesn't matter if I vote no! ”
This is also the only vote against it, as for Zheng He and Wang Jinghong of the Ming Dynasty, they actually didn't understand what the instructor was, so they simply thought that they were eunuchs and eunuchs, and the two big eunuchs naturally didn't have any psychological problems about it.
