Chapter 25: Lu Seven and Three Town Divisions
Lin Jian had already instructed the Military Staff to make a plan to send an additional town division reinforcement to the Haidong area.
The current plan is not to draw an elite army from the existing people to cross the sea to the east, but to draw generals from various armies, from the military staff, and from the army command academy to form a new town division to reinforce Haidong.
A total of 147 officers at and above the battalion and sentry level, with Hu Qiaoguan, Yu Wenbei, He Zongliang, Feng Yan, Chen Yuqin, and others as the commanders, staff officers, military advisers, and brigade divisions, were successively transferred from various departments as early as two months ago.
Luo Wenhu and Zhou Sheng, Tian Su and others who had joined Huaidong with him at the beginning were also incorporated into the cadet corps, and they were about to join the army as the brigade commander of the newly formed town division, and the battalion generals and deputy battalion generals would go to Haidong to fight.
Luo Wenhu has been working in Jiangning since the beginning of December, and half a year has passed so far; In fact, he did not serve in the military staff for a long time, during which he entered the Army Advanced Command Academy as one of the first cadets for three months, and then was directly integrated into the cadet corps of the officer corps......
In the half a year since he entered Jiangning, and in just half a month before that, he cooperated with the Huaidong Army to fight in Jingxiang, which brought Luo Wenhu earth-shaking cognition. When he was in the Suizhou Army, he boasted that he was both civil and military, and he had seen people, and after he entered Jiangning, it was a new world that was strange and novel to him, which made him have to restrain his previous rashness and ignorance, and also realized more deeply that the rise of Huaidong was by no means accidental.
Although it is said that the army town division numbered "Lu 703" is about to be formed to reinforce the Zhen clan in Goryeo, with a certain proportion of chariot and horse brigades as the main infantry soldiers, an extremely important training for the cadet corps of the officer corps is to adapt to the HNA.
The reinforcement of the army town division will cooperate with the navy army from the west coast of Goryeo to the north to Hanyang County, the capital of Goryeo, and if the general does not have a basic understanding of the sea, it is obviously unqualified.
In a short period of one month, the cadets of the officer corps went to sea from Chongzhou with the patrol warship formation, went south through Shengsi, Mingzhou, and Quanzhou, and after a short stay at the northern tip of Yizhou Island, they went north along the Heishui Ocean to Jeju Island, where they joined Zhen Feng and others, and returned to Haizhou together on the eastward journey across the sea, and officially took up the important task of forming a reinforcement division.
The book is always shallow, and the short one-month journey has a very strong impact on generals such as Luo Wenhu and Chen Yuqin whose vision was limited to the land of one county and one prefecture in the past. The sensibility of the vast ocean to the officers is definitely not something that can be demonstrated by the sand table demonstration in the Army Command Academy.
Luo Wenhu's heart is filled with a strong sense of pride that has persisted since joining Huaidong, excited that he is in a great era and participating in a great era, and he is also ashamed of himself who sat in Lishan City in the past and dreamed of being a wife and a son.
The day after Lin Jian arrived in Haizhou, the "Lu 703" town division was officially established. Lin Jian invited Zhen Feng and others to review the formation exercise composed of officers and non-commissioned officers of the "Lu 703" town division, the "Lu 703" town division, the number of officers above the sentry level was 147, and the number of non-commissioned officers below the sentry level was 1,323.
Only at this time could Luo Wenhu feel especially deeply why the generals and military attachés were so excited about the appearance of Lin Bin!
When he was in the Suizhou army, although Luo Wenhu was ambitious, he did not dare to touch the prestige of Luo Xiancheng, but after he surrendered to Huaidong, he really appreciated what is the difference between the superior and the inferior, what is the difference between the world, and only then did he truly realize why the Suizhou army was hopeless, and why Wang Xiang's insight could surpass them - this all came from the new world that would give him new feelings almost every day for half a year.
The strength of the Huaidong Army is soaked in every corner, not simply saying that Lin Tie is resourceful, and such a powerful empire is actually created by Lin Tie in ten years, how can it not convince people's hearts?
Accompanying Lin Lian's army was Liu Miaozhen, the commander of Xu Sixing's camp and the commander of the Huaiyang army.
"The Lady of the Red Jacket!" There was a whisper in the queue.
Before the Huaisi Liumin Army started, the name of "Red Jacket Girl" was spread in Huaishui two, when she was only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, when she fought with her uncle and brother in the world, she was only eighteen years old, and won the name of the first brave general in Huaisi as a woman.
The generals of Huaidong will not despise her because she is a woman, as the only general in the world who has been equal to Lin Jian on the battlefield, and as an invincible general who has never encountered an opponent with a knife and gun, she is a woman, and she will naturally win enough respect; It is Zhou Pu and Ning Zechen, who are first-class generals and brave generals in the Huaidong Army, and they are also in awe in front of Liu Miaozhen.
Perhaps what makes the generals sigh is that such a famous general is as gorgeous as a peach blossom; It also makes people think that only a character like Lin Jian can make the girl in the red jacket turn around and marry each other.
The formation exercise in the open space at the northern foot of Houyuntai Mountain was only a team of 1,500 non-commissioned officers of the "Lu 703" town division, and Zhen Feng, Saga Yoriyuan, and Jinxiang Jinye had already felt the strength of the Huaidong Army.
In Fuso, the samurai were the core of the families, and the army was formed by recruiting soldiers from the common people.
Compared with the Fusang military system, the non-commissioned officer team of the Huaidong Army is equivalent to the samurai team of the Fuso families, but the scale is larger, the training system is more complete, and the vast majority of them have passed the severe test of war. In addition, the ordinary soldiers of the Huaidong Army came from the reserve soldiers of the workers' battalion who had at least half a year's or more combat training foundation.
In Haizhou alone, the number of people included in the workers' battalion and used as reserve soldiers of the Huaidong Army was as high as 120,000.
Zhen Feng and the others had already seen the reclamation and training of the township division and the cantonment camp in Haizhou earlier, and because the proximity to the harbor could provide sufficient meat, the Privy Council's food supply to the Haizhou barracks was far better than the daily food of the Fuso civilian class.
Even if the daily task of camp reclamation and combat training is completely heavy, the sufficient and meat-rich food is enough to make the body of the reserve soldier stronger. The quality of the soldiers of Huaidong's industrial battalion in Haizhou alone is by no means comparable to that of the civilians of Fusang or Goryeo, Zhen Feng is full of expectations for the newly formed reinforcement of the town division, while the hearts of Saga Yorigen and Kongo Tsuno are full of despair - although they have to rely on Huaidong at this time to take turns to control Dazaifu, which is the supreme power of Fuso, but in their hearts they are unwilling to be vassals to Huaidong forever.
The entire country of Fuso, with a population of nearly 20 million, could have achieved an empire as long as it could have been unified. However, in the future, as long as the future Great Chong Dynasty is shrouded in the shadow of yīn, Fusang will have absolutely no possibility of achieving an empire.
Saga Raigen glanced at the side of the village, his heart was full of helplessness, he planned to drag until the death of the village, and then annex the plan of the family, now it seems that even if the village Tsuno died early and then had no talent, Huaidong would never let the Saga clan monopolize Kyushu Island.
At night, Lin Jian hosted a banquet for the generals of Lu 703's Town Division in the temporary line, and said to Hu Qiaoguan, Yu Wenbei, He Zongliang, Feng Yan, Chen Yuqin, Luo Wenhu and other generals: "The General Staff and the Privy Council will not allow me to go to Haidong to supervise the battle again, and you will cross the sea to the east after three months of intensive training in Haizhou, and you must obey the command of the commander Ma Yigong and the staff officer Chen Enze, and you must not rush to victory." The great victory is not rushed, that is, 'all wars are won by surprise'. The tactics you have learned in the army and in the war training academy can be traced back to this point. Only in a confrontation in which one is calm and relaxed and one is mentally prepared for a long time can it be possible to unearth advantageous fighters. Of course, you don't have to worry about whether the Northern Expedition can catch up. I can tell you now that the time for the Northern Expedition will only take place after you have won a decisive military victory in Haidong and on the Goryeo Peninsula...... The Northern Expedition will not be too early, so you must be mentally prepared to fight in Goryeo for a long time. ”
The Haidong camp is commanded by Ma Yigong and Chen Enze, the governor of Jeju Prefecture, and consists of three town divisions, the first town division is directly under the jurisdiction of Ma Yigong, with Ge Changgen as the deputy army, the second town division is under the command of Pan Wenshu, the governor of Jeju Prefecture, and the general of the third town division is headed by Hu Qiaoguan.
Hu Qiaoguan is also the representative of Chongzhou boys in the army. Although Chen Enze will also serve as a staff officer and military officer of the eastward battalion of the territorial waters, he is also mainly engaged in political affairs. Hu Qiaozhong, Luo Yicheng, Tang Xitai and other representatives of Chongzhou boys also focused on government affairs and became local backbone officials.
Lin Jian also deliberately asked Luo Wenhu's seat to be arranged by his side, and asked him with a smile: "How do you feel about going out with the patrol warship formation to adapt to the sea navigation this time?" ”
"......" Luo Wenhu sighed a lot, and he didn't know how to finish the book for a while, and said, "The last general tasted the salt and went to the counties with the clansmen, and was shocked when he observed the Okura boat on the riverside, and then for nearly 20 years, he thought that the eldest husband crossed the river and the sea, and should take the Okura boat." Only when he is under the command of the lord can he know that the frog at the bottom of the well is the so-called last general. In the past, I didn't obey the feet of the lord, but I didn't know the truth of the mantis arm as a car, but fortunately, the lord did not give up the end of the general......"
The big warehouse ships are mostly made by grain merchants from the Sichuan River and the two lakes to the Jianghuai River to transport and sell rice and grain, and the carrying capacity ranges from two or three thousand stones to five thousand stones. Of course, the ocean-going ships of the Lin Zhengjun class are not far more than the Okura ships in terms of capacity, and the hull structure has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The top-of-the-line Lin Zhengjun-class sea vessels, except for the ship's deck, the internal structure, including the keel, are replaced with fine iron casting. Although the cost is extremely high, a ship costs more than 100,000 silver dollars, but it can withstand the test of ordinary South Sea storms. With the current huge profits of the South Seas sea trade, how much capital is invested, it is enough to earn back after two years of shipbuilding.
As for a Lin Zhengjun-class sea vessel, the sailing year is built according to the standard of 30 years.
Lin Lian laughed and said, "We have to open our eyes, but it's not good to be arrogant." I'm just creating better conditions for the soldiers, but Shengjie still hopes that you will fight back with a knife and a shot. If things could be so simple and analogous, there would be no need for Yezir, the king of captivity, to visit the army at this time......"
Just as Lin Jian came to Haizhou, the movement will not be small, and Ye Zier rushed to Dengzhou in late May to inspect the construction of Yanhu's naval army in Dengzhou, and it is absolutely impossible to hide people's eyes.
Almost in the eleventh year of Chongguan, after Lin Lian's cross-sea expedition, Yanhu, who had not yet invaded Yan Ji, set up a naval army in Jinzhou Mansion at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula; After the Qingzhou War, Yanhu successively used Chen Zhihu and the veteran Nahe Xiongqi to guard Qingdeng, and used the Dengzhou Navy to reduce the general to expand the naval army on a large scale.
After nine years of construction and a huge investment of manpower and material resources, although the Yanhu naval army has not yet shown signs of a large-scale attack,!。
