Chapter 1: Into Egypt (17)

[The outbreak couldn't be broken out at night, and when I went out to run errands and took the bus, the driver braked suddenly............ Hand-held for repair...... Originally, I had two more chapters in my hand...... There's only this last chapter left in PC.,Let's change it in advance.。 QAQ】

"It is better to train for a thousand days, and you will know the advantages and disadvantages when you are in battle." This is what Wang Yue said to move Ding Yi. In modern vernacular, actual combat is the only criterion for testing troops. It's just that Ding Yi was a little worried, because Wang Yue put the Rongsan Brigade in the wooden bone capital, the reason was, "There are many merchants, the Kunlun Nu Concession Regiment is still good, and the military discipline of the more than ten auxiliary regiments built later is scattered, which is not enough to show military might, and I am afraid that everyone will look at it and have a bad heart." ”

The military is not strong, and it is not enough to deter the four people. That's what Wang Yue meant.

The own guard took the signal soldier down to rest, and as soon as Ding saw the military report, he handed it to Liu Tie and asked him, "What does Zijian think?" "This is the school examination, we have to see how Liu Tie's military insights and level are.

"Kunlun Nu actually has a good reputation?" Liu Tie took Ding Yi and handed him the military newspaper and read it, quite puzzled, "Shichang has always had a very high vision in military strategy, and it is really commendable to be able to be the word "good." However, sir, the student is suspicious of this matter. He didn't believe that any black group could deserve such an evaluation.

Just as Wan An came in, Ding Yi laughed, motioned to Liu Tie to hand the military report to Wan An, and said to the latter: "Zi Jian said that black people have good soldiers!" Xun Ji talked to him! After that, he looked down at the map, because he had to calculate the route of Wang Yue's march to get a concept and judge Wang Yue's actions. Whether it's too risky.

Wan An read the letter and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zijian." A regiment is guarded, but it cannot be regarded as a foreign army. ”

The black group in the concession that was praised by Wang Yue as "Shangjia". It was established by Ding Yi when the wooden bones were bundled, and in the entire Ming army's combat sequence, it was the only black regiment equipped with a firecracker. But in fact, this regiment cannot be regarded as a foreign regiment, and there is also a roster of this regiment in the Daming Military Department, with an official name: Daming Sihai Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the first regiment of the East African Garrison Command.

Because there are not only officers in it, but also non-commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers above the battalion level, all of whom are Chinese soldiers from the original Marine Brigade and Ding Yi's guard team. In addition to the original shipwreck, he was dissatisfied with Wan'an and continued to go to the Mediterranean. The soldiers who insisted on staying behind to find Ding Yi; There are also those loyal guards who watched Ding Yi fall into the water and jumped into the sea to find Ding Yi. The first garrison regiment also has a military intelligence platoon, mainly the old Jinyi guards who stayed here with Zheng He to the West, such as the old man Li Xiaopang, and the descendants of these old Jinyi guards, who still regard themselves as the heirs of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The main responsibilities of this regiment were the security of the concession, the collection of information on the wooden bones, and the garrison of the lighthouse on Mahe Island. Because there are dozens of regular and new-style Ming troops - there are still elite soldiers who act as the backbone in it, and there is Ding Yi who personally checks when the wooden bones are tied. So really in addition to the skin color, the training and housekeeping are not bad, including the official language of the Ming Dynasty, a few years have passed. Almost the entire regiment of Daming official spoke very smoothly.

After listening to Wan An's explanation, Liu Tie still didn't quite understand: "Then why did Shichang say that the military discipline of the other Kunlun slave regiments was unbearable, which damaged the prestige of the Ming army?" As a result, the Rongsan Brigade should be placed in the concession. Small deterrent? ”

Ding Yi: "The officer corps does not mean that there is one, nor does it mean that a unit is on the right track. It will be possible to draw people from it as an officer corps to form another army. A garrison regiment can form a teaching team at most. Train some veteran squad leaders, and you still expect it to be a cradle? ”

Because there is no manpower to manage it, the auxiliary regiment formed later, or the reserve regiment, is really not very good.

The defense of the first garrison regiment should be said to be very heavy, although there is a Mediterranean fleet, which does regular cruises and round-trips from time to time, and there are also Suez garrisons, Zhao Fu sent people to report on the strength and the like, so as not to become a lone army. But what's inside the concession? School? No, it's all gambling houses and green houses!

With Ding Yi's expedition to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, it seems that after going to the Wa Kingdom, it is not necessarily unacceptable to go to sea, this time I brought a few scribes, all of whom came to count the accounts of the Qinglou, because the Ministry of Rites has a lot of opinions on the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas, and the official prostitutes should be under the management of the Sect Workshop. Of course, it is estimated that after the money is calculated, the profit will be divided, and the correspondence with friends will still mention the sentence "indecent", which is really only God knows.

maintain order in the concession and play the role of a policeman; Maintain the operation of the green house and the gambling house, and act as a security guard; the transfer of the garrison on the island of Mahe; Analysis and collation of the information of the wooden bones...... The duty is really heavy, so the quality of several reserve regiments is very poor, and no one cares about it, and the blacks are not disciplined in the first place.

Wang Yue stayed in Mugudu, mainly to reorganize these dozen reserve black regiments.

"Actually, why build these dozen reserve regiments?" Liu Tie didn't understand again, when it came to dealing with people, he was clever and slippery, and when it came to the major affairs of military strategy and internal affairs, his talent was limited, and these words were not a joke.

Wan An is much stronger than him, and he didn't bother Ding at all, as soon as he opened his mouth, he said directly to Liu Tie: "There is no other reserve regiment, and there is a black regiment of Suez?" ”

Although Ding Yi looked at the map, the conversation between the two disciples was in his ears, and he couldn't help nodding slightly, which could be regarded as a compliment to Wan An.

Because Zhao Fu was in Suez, resisting the attack of Mamluk, he had to fight several battles every month; The Marine Battalion was mainly used for ambushes, and there were too few people. The protection of the people who dredged the canal and the defense of Suez were achieved by the black regiment and the Egyptian regiment, and their role was to defend the city.

Zhao Fu was born in this town, don't look at it as a cavalry general, but for defending the city, it is also very set, after all, the old-style Ming army specializes in this. So those blacks and Egyptians were assigned by him to guard the city of Suez and hold the main roads, and so on, in one word: there were many casualties.

Can it not be big? It's not big, it's the Shushan Immortal Sword.

Is Mamluk a good match? With these black army reserve regiments and Egyptian regiments, they can resist, Zhao Fu really has the ability, he sometimes feels that he can't hold on, and he has to repair a letter to Huang Xiaoyang, asking if the Mediterranean Fleet can send multiple marine battalions to be stationed for a month or two.

Therefore, the wood and bones are tied here, recruiting the blacks of the rainforest tribe, forming a reserve regiment, and with a little training, they will wait for the Mediterranean fleet to cruise over and transport these blacks to Suez as cannon fodder. Anyway, it's cheap, a pound of salt can be exchanged for a few blacks, the Ming army means settling-in expenses, and the meaning of blacks is selling money, so when people die, no one comes to find trouble.

Wang Yue couldn't stand it, and felt that this was completely a matter of carelessness and no combat effectiveness, so he had to start rectifying it.

At this time, another guard came in and made a secret gesture to Ding Yi, Ding nodded, and the guard handed over a letter, Ding Yi motioned to Wan An to look, and tore open the envelope, which contained only a piece of paper and a string of thirty-six Arabic numerals, but it was a digital signature formulated by Ding Yi.

"Sir, it's a routine report sent by the comrade of the Admiral of the First Division of the Rong Division to supervise the affairs of the Heaven and Earth Society." After Wan An saw it, he reported to Ding Yi.

Ding kept getting up, motioned to Fat Man Wen to fry the tea, sat down and said to Wan An, "Please let him in." ”

It was a captain and staff officer of the Rongyi Brigade of the Rongyi Division who entered, and he saluted Ding Yi and presented the letter in his arms.

The above is mainly a record of Wang Yue's reorganization of the black reserve regiment: "...... The more in the Kunlun slaves, choose the brave and fierce to jump, investigate the traces of the Kou, watch the enemy and invite the Chinese army to rob it, or cut the small strand to ride it, and use it to count the merits. In this way, in the Kunlun Nu Reserve Regiment, there were fifteen teams of jumping elite soldiers, who could listen to orders to advance and retreat, a total of 450 people; Yue also chose the strong and strong, practiced the queue advance and retreat, took 100 people as a side formation, entered the rainforest, ten swings and ten decisions, half a month, returned to the tribe more than 100, and could use 20 teams of phalanxes, a total of 1,700 people......"

That is, how Wang Yue trained his troops, it was not a dozen regiments that were deducted there together, but planned, divided into a number of specialties, some for reconnaissance training, some for armed reconnaissance training, and some for special training queues, etc., compared with the military report submitted by Wang Yue himself, it can be seen that Wang Yue is still very modest and does not boast of his achievements.

In the military newspaper, there are only "2,000 people from the 6th battalion who were selected for cohort training, and so far, 1,300 people have completed the courses with excellent results; 400 people with good grades, and the rest were persuaded to quit; Two battalions of 600 people will be selected to conduct specialized armed reconnaissance training......"

He didn't say that after the training, he would fight in real combat immediately, let alone mention it, because he let the soldiers conduct actual combat, and the rain forest was beaten to the point of fear, and there were more than 100 black tribes who surrendered.

Or because of Ding's subordinates, such a record made Wang Yue feel that it was not worth mentioning.

"If that's the case, it's not a presumptuous move to build the country by Finji and the Fuhr." Ding Yi read the report sent by the Heaven and Earth Society, and asked the guards to come over and lead the staff officer down, but he said to Liu Tie, "You have to train your troops hard." ”

Liu Tie couldn't help but be a little red-faced, this thing, hello, hello, hello, everyone, smile and laugh, I don't know the depth, such a comparison, it can be said that the judgment is high, they are all disciples of Ding, he Liu Tie and Wang Yue are really not one layer worse, it has to be several layers worse.

"Xun Ji is smart, and he should be more committed to practice." Ding Yi knocked Wan An again, he is different from Liu Tie, Liu Tie is talent is really not good. Wan An has too many thoughts, always wants to take shortcuts, and is the inherent fault of smart people.

Looking at Wan An and Liu Tie, Ding Yi was a little helpless, talent, he was really short of talent.

Wan'an has a good governance of internal affairs, but the level of military strategy is very average, of course, much stronger than Liu Tie and Liu Ji.

And Liu Ji is completely incapable of military strategy, if the territory of the country and the people is safe, let Liu Ji be the political envoy of one party, he has the ability. But in this kind of war period, the city must be under military or semi-military control, Liu Ji is like this, how dare Ding Yi let him be the governor?

At this time, Cao Jixiang hurriedly came in, and with him came the navy's communications soldier: "Report!" Discover the troop carriers of the Mamluks from Jerusalem in the direction of Ismailia! The destroyer detachment has gone to the observation point where the signal was sent! (To be continued......)
