Chapter 738: The Praetorian Guards Firearms Test Group is unveiled

After all, he had been in Cochin for so many years, so he naturally didn't want any loss in the land of Cochin.

"This doesn't matter, since the troops in the land of Jiaozhi are insufficient, then, Your Majesty can issue an order to requisition one or two troops from Lingnan to station in the land of Jiaozhi. First, the land of Lingnan and Jiaozhi are suburbs, and the transfer of soldiers and horses is very normal, plus they are all southerners, so it is easier to adapt to the climate and environment of Jiaozhi. Second, after a large number of troops arrive at Jiaozhi, they can continue to be dispersed by General Cheng, and then reorganize and train the troops to increase the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the army in Jiaozhi.......

He had a good idea, at least much more than I had thought it through. I had communicated with this group of people in the Ministry of War about whether to propose a Chinese expeditionary force, and everyone felt that it was necessary, but they could not raise it for the time being, because the army expedition consumed a lot. But now, the opportunity has come, or the reason for sending troops seems so justified.

The important thing is to transfer the soldiers and horses of the Lingnan army to Cochin, reduce the local aboriginal garrison, and in the future, it can be supplemented from other places, so that the newly occupied land will also be transformed from the original garrison to the non-local garrison. That's a good practice.

All of them thought it was feasible, and decided to transfer a division under the original Cheng Jin's hand from the land of Jiaozhi, plus two local divisions in Jiaozhi, to form a Chinese expeditionary force to go to the Nanyang region.

However, due to the frequent typhoons in summer and autumn, it was decided to wait until the end of autumn before heading to the South Sea.

In addition, through the tools of public opinion propaganda, let more people know that a series of treaties signed between the Chinese Empire and Borneo attract merchants to trade with Borneo, and that the envoys of Borneo will be notified that we will send an advance working group to Borneo to build various kilns needed to build docks there.

By the end of autumn, it is believed that the first permanent wharf can be built to facilitate the arrival and berthing of the Chinese expeditionary force. In addition, Du Ruhui obeyed my orders and secretly sent intelligence officers to contact the Han people in the envoy group, and the contact situation was very gratifying, although they have been away from their homeland for hundreds of years, but they still have not forgotten where their ancestors and hometown are.

And they even talked about the Han people in Borneo, most of whom were like him, in a foreign country, and missed their homeland. In this way, it is quite beneficial for the Chinese Renaissance Army to garrison in Borneo. Of course, the officers had to pick the right people, and in addition they had to have qualified diplomats to facilitate their dealings with Borneo up and down

After spending less than ten days in Chang'an, the envoys said goodbye to me with a beaming look on their faces, and they were to rush back to Borneo to inform their lord of the importance and help of the Chinese Empire.

After giving a lot of gifts to the envoy, he waved goodbye to the envoy. Then, he received the information, Qu Tutong led the army to break the attack of Xuancheng County Li Zitong, Li Zitong was forced to give up Xuancheng County, and retreated to Danyang, and in the south, Qin Qiong finally climbed to Yongjia County, where he fought several battles with Yongjia County, won consecutive battles, and won Yongjia County five days ago, intending to send troops to Dongyang County, but unexpectedly, a super typhoon hit Yongjia County, Qin Qiong had to temporarily stop the pace of progress, and sent the army to participate in the disaster relief work, The local people who were originally dissatisfied with the Chinese Renaissance Army were very moved, and the favorability value instantly increased by at least 35 percentage points.

Linhai County, in the north of Yongjia County, surrendered troops and wanted to take advantage of the disaster relief of the Chinese Renaissance Army to seize the city, but unexpectedly, the people of Linhai County informed the garrison, so that a military disaster was nipped in the bud before it began.

From this you can see how important it is to have a well-disciplined team that treats the people as their own relatives. For such a result, even a great Confucian like Kong Yingda can only praise with emotion that this is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.

Benevolence and righteousness are necessary, of course, for ordinary people, if the enemy dares to raise their swords and spears against us, what awaits them will be sharp arrows and horizontal knives.

At present, there are more than 75 Japanese people who have been captured in the territory of the Chinese Empire, and among them, about a dozen people have actually come to investigate our Huaxia Revival Firearms, intending to bribe them with a large amount of treasure to obtain the information they want to know.

After learning of this news, Ben Gongzi directly ordered that the more than ten widows be tried for espionage, and then executed for espionage.

The rest of the Japanese were all repatriated after interrogation. I don't have much interest in these Japanese people who have not committed crimes, anyway, I believe that in the near future, the giant ships and cannons of the Chinese Empire will appear on the Japanese island, completely destroying all the history and future of the Japanese people.

At that time, it will be built into another settlement of the Chinese Empire on this wasteland.

In addition, in addition to the Japanese people, they also caught spies from Tuyuhun or other Central Plains heroes, and all of them were thrown into the mine to be honestly reformed through labor, after all, they are not the strange and disgusting race of the Japanese people.

Secrecy work must be done in place, and most of the high-tech technologies of the Chinese Empire are concentrated in the mountains and forests more than 100 miles south of Chang'an City. It's a deserted place with overlapping mountains, making it easy to guard against those with bad intentions.

Two hundred miles southwest of Chang'an City, an observatory with a height of about five meters, built on the top of a mountain peak about three hundred meters high, a large number of generals and important ministers are sitting on the horse with binoculars in their hands, watching the battle between the Blue Army and the Red Army in the distance.

The two sides practiced a battle formation, the Blues were dominated by cavalry, while the Red Army was dominated by foot soldiers, and at this moment, the Red Army formed a circle around the carriages of the carriages, and was using bows and crossbows to shoot at the wandering Blues outside.

The situation had changed from a sudden and fierce battle scene to a stalemate, and as the red and green flags on the high platform were staggered, the warring sides withdrew from their fighting positions with great tacit understanding and began to count the casualties.

And the "dead men" who had been hit by the white gray spots left by the swords, guns, arrows and crossbows began to return to their respective camps. After all, it was a drill, and it was impossible for them to use real knives and guns to slash and kill, but they all used wooden knives and wooden guns and the like, and wrapped a cloth full of white ash on the head of the gun or knife, so that those who were hit would withdraw from the battlefield as wounded or killed.

If anyone dares to be slashed more than a dozen times, poked more than a dozen shots and still jumping on the battlefield, they will be directly pulled out by the military police and then taken to confinement.

Seeing this, I nodded in satisfaction. "The Red Army infantry was able to rely on the carriage to resist the onslaught of the Blue Army cavalry in such a short time, and it was indeed a good job."

"But the time from the time the Red Army infantry received the whistle order to the time of the assembly exceeded the time of the emergency assembly at least nearly a clock." Han Shige, who was sitting next to me, was not satisfied, the Red Army was his soldier, and the Blue Army was my mother-in-law's soldier.

The so-called one-grid clock is for accurate timing, so this son divided the time evenly in the military, dividing the twelve hours of the day into twenty-four hours, and each hour is sixty clocks, and one clock is equivalent to one minute, in addition, each clock is divided into sixty parts.

It's just that there is no such accurate timer now, so everyone can only rely on guessing to grasp the finer time.

"It's okay, after all, it's wartime, plus two days of forced marching, the soldiers are tired, and it's understandable that the reaction is a little slower." I said with a smile waving my hand

Han Shige didn't refute, but he still muttered dissatisfiedly, and it seemed that he was going to wait for the drill to go back to the camp and train these soldiers properly.

"Wechen see Your Majesty, Praetorian Guard Firearms Regiment reports." At this time, a majestic knight rode under the observation platform, turned over and jumped off the horse, and saluted me.

"Well, General Qu Tu, are you all ready?" Seeing this Qu Tuquan, who was only in his early twenties, I nodded with satisfaction and asked with a gentle smile.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Praetorian Guard Firearms Regiment is ready, please allow the Praetorian Guards Firearms Regiment to conduct military exercises," Qu Tuquan replied loudly with his head held high.

"Well, well, let's go, remember, show the momentum of the Praetorian Guard, don't disappoint me." I glanced at all the important court ministers present and said solemnly towards Qu Tuquan.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Praetorian Guard Firearms Regiment will not disgrace its orders," Qu Tu replied, then turned around and jumped on horseback, heading towards the bottom of the mountain.

"This kid is good." Wei Yunqi muttered quietly beside me. "It seems that Your Majesty, your eye for seeing people is really superior."

"Hehe, it's just average, but Qu Tuquan, this kid is indeed quite capable, better than his brother, when it comes to strategy and ability, I'm afraid it's on par with that Hou Junji." I burst out laughing.

Qu Tuquan is the second son of General Qu Tu, and his eldest son Qu Tushou is also in the army, but he is far inferior to his father, but the second son Qu Tuquan is quite courageous.

However, in the past, he was still young, so General Qu Tu did not allow Qu Tuquan to enlist in the army, but in the past few years, General Qu Tu has been fighting on the march, so naturally there is no way to control this little guy.

After some investigation, it really shocked this little guy, at least in terms of the art of war, this son is far inferior, in addition, he is extremely interested in firearms, and put forward his own point of view, the use of firearms lies in its lethality and deterrence, then, firearms should be the most concentrated use of the city to destroy the city when it is as easy as a hand.
