Chapter 178: There are many soldiers and generals
When Zhu Fugui read the folds of Morishita, the time was already late June.
With Morishita arrived, there were more than 10,000 beggar soldiers.
said that it was a beggar, but in fact, it was a bit of a lift, after all, in Zhu Fugui's impression, many beggars were like flying, of course, the premise was that there was a spur from the city management.
Most of these so-called "Shi Dakai surrendered pawns" were peasants from Xiangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou and Guizhou who were caught by the Hunan army, and some were from the Wuthering Mountains and Forests, the so-called "heroes of the green forest", that is, bandits.
The mountains of Xiangxi are continuous, rich in bandits, and the bandits in Xiangxi are pure and authentic, second only to the Taoist priests and zombies in Xiangxi.
However, whether it is really Shi Dakai's old department, or the good people of Xiangxi, bandits, or the Hunan army itself, they are all scrawny and terrifying, which is more miserable than the previous issues of Chinese workers.
Qi Wenchang and Zhang Changgui followed Zhu Fugui and inspected the temporary camp together, and from time to time, they would meet a few fellow villagers with Guangxi accents, so they stepped forward to talk a few words.
Thousands of miles away, it is always emotional to hear the local sound.
It's just that I haven't seen any real acquaintances.
After more than ten years of fighting, things have long been different, and the friends who walked out of the mountains and villages together have already turned into a handful of loess on both sides of the Yangtze River.
A large proportion of these men from Xiangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Guizhou will be arranged to enter the army.
Speaking of which, Zhu Fugui is resolutely not engaged in ethnic subdivision, let alone geographical subdivision, and all the people who come to the Ming Dynasty are Ming people, and there are no southerners or northerners.
It's just that in terms of personnel arrangements of the first generation, after all, they are not exempt from vulgarity, and they trust the southwest soldiers more than the Jiangnan soldiers in military affairs.
Although some people wept when they heard the reason, the natural environment in the southwest region is harsh, the people have been poor since ancient times, and the combat effectiveness is very guaranteed.
It is not necessary that the poor mountains and bad waters will not be able to produce the people, but they must produce good soldiers.
Back then, Qi Jiguang and Qi Shaobao were training troops in the southeast to resist the Japanese, and the Jiangnan soldiers with fine skin and tender meat in the free shipping area almost made him shut up, and this is no longer the Jiangdong that Xiang Yu used to be.
Until he discovered the poorest place in Zhejiang - Yiwu.
Yiwu is poor and bad, poor and white, with a group of miners who dare to fight and kill, and finally cast the prestige of the Qi family's army.
said that the soldiers in the free shipping area have low combat effectiveness, this is by no means regional discrimination, Zhu Fugui himself was a person near Shanghai in his previous life.
He knew very well that if he wanted to rely on the sea soldiers to fight the world, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream.
If Zhu Fugui is allowed to command 100,000 Zhu Fugui cold weapons in hand-to-hand combat, this will definitely be a disaster, and it is likely that even Zhao Jiumei will not be able to compare.
For example, the frog soldiers, known as the strawberry soldiers, are actually Fujianese in essence.
It is also difficult for you to imagine how strong the fighting power and fighting will of the Fujian soldiers can be, and they can withstand the thunderous blow of the People's Liberation Army.
Of course, nearly one-fifth of the Ming Dynasty is now Fujianese, and their performance in the navy is much stronger than that in the army, and their performance in industry and commerce is even more remarkable.
Of course, bravery and ferocity are only part of the military, which determines the lower limit of the troops.
If you want to raise the ceiling of the army, you still need educated, faithful, disciplined soldiers, and at the same time, you must also have money.
In World War II, American GIs who were greedy for life and afraid of death could still drive pickup trucks and smoke cigars around the world.
Zhu Fugui respects the revolutionary martyrs who are not afraid of sacrifice, eat millet, and use Hanyang and 38 Dagai, but he hopes that in the future, his great soldiers will be more like American soldiers, wandering around the world, and then using a few pieces of chocolate to deceive a few big Polish girls, and then use a military court to punish them for doing a few push-ups without pain.
The dream is beautiful, but the road ahead is tortuous.
These guys in front of them, who are numb to the war and don't have the slightest sparkle in their eyes, still have a lot to make up for before they become such soldiers.
When they accept the ideological transformation and meet the service standards, then the total number of standing troops of the Ming Dynasty may reach 20,000.
Our Daming is more or less a bit of a general.
You must know that these 20,000 are all soldiers who are out of production, not those serf soldiers in Chongzhen's hands.
Zhu Fugui felt that if Uncle Chongzhen had such an elite of 20,000 people as himself, he would not hang on to the southeast branch.
There are many soldiers, so the next step is of course to expand the territory.
Morishita's compromise, the grand strategy he proposed is very good.
However, at present, the military center of gravity of the Ming Dynasty still has to be on the American continent, to be precise, it is necessary to take advantage of Lincoln's inability to take all the western coastal areas of North America.
It's also strange to say, Zhu Fugui can't figure it out, he obviously didn't do anything, just sent Robert Lee some cheap clothes, and some three-no feed that even Daming's pigs don't eat, why did the situation in the Civil War become confusing?
Not only did the Southern general Stonewall Jackson come back to life, but even the Gettysburg rout that should have happened in March and April this year did not happen, but fought back and forth with a group of black people.
Everything has changed so much that Zhu Fugui now doesn't dare to use the vest of "Death Knell" to casually make accurate predictions of the battle situation in the newspaper, and can only write some ambiguous articles.
But who would have thought that even these god stick articles could be hit.
Some time ago, Zhu Fugui had almost turned into a frog island scholar who ran the train with his mouth full of money for the announcement fee, and the blind chicken blew water indiscriminately.
"Blacks may not be satisfied with the oppression of the northern government, and embark on a path with national characteristics, independence, and zero-dollar purchases......"
"I think that blacks should learn from the East, Africa is the Africa of Asians, and only by learning from the big countries of the East can there be a way out, specifically, I think the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is an object that can be referred to......"
"The black man who moves will be like a black rod stabbed into the depths of Lincoln, making him constantly bleed and moan......",
……
No one really believes this kind of nonsense, there really is, right?
For the sake of the manuscript fee, Zhu Fugui Xia Ji's nonsense jokes, he thought that they were even more outrageous than "Brother Mustard" and "Brother Vole", and the British probably published it in the mood of watching jokes.
But who knows, as soon as this head was published, Moses, a black man over there, took the black man up the mountain with an arm, and they also called themselves the new worship of God and recognized Hong Xiuquan as their uncle.
This ** work made Zhu Fugui stunned, and he really couldn't understand what was going on in this world.
You know, according to the circulation and circulation rate, those blacks must have acted before the newspapers arrived on the East Coast of the United States!
Could it be that the hero sees something the same way?
Seeing the same thing as a group of black heroes, Zhu Fugui didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Today, the eastern part of the North American continent has become a mess.
After the blacks came up to the mountains, they stopped producing and began to plunder nearby farms and caravans.
And these farms and caravans belonged to the northern states, and for a while, the people of the north set off a racist trend of "hanging blacks".
On the contrary, Robert Lee's 800-900 and 1,000-year-old farming season offensive led to a massive shortage of labor on plantations in the South, and farmers were forced to raise the treatment of blacks, and even to find ways to increase the fertility rate of blacks.
The Confederate administration even openly supported the righteous zero-dollar purchase of black people in the northern states, especially Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia, and said they were welcome to "come home."
Of course, the premise is to put down the arms and obediently put on the hinges.
In fact, at the beginning of the black armed uprising, the Lincoln administration mobilized the army to suppress it in one fell swoop.
But at that time, he still chose to send his confidant and favorite general, the supernova of the Northern Army, Brigadier Robert Jr.
That's right, after a tie with Stonewall Jackson, Robert King Jr. has already attained the rank of brigadier general.
Since it was his old troops who rebelled, it made sense for Lincoln to order Robert King Jr. to lead his troops into the mountains to suppress the bandits.
And so the end result of the matter ......
Robert King Jr., who is lying down, and Jerry, a black man who is commanding the newspaper, meet opponents in chess and will meet good talents.
They spent a month in the Appalachian Mountains, with casualties on both sides coming from stumbling off cliffs and disease.
The Southern Army took advantage of this opportunity to advance several dozen kilometers and regained the strategic initiative in one fell swoop.
With such a back-and-back enemy, Lincoln had to spare the blacks and defend his troops against the attack of the Southerners.
As for the troublesome Indian tribe in the Northwest called "Daiming", Lincoln didn't want to care about it at all.
Can a mere Indian, still be able to enter the White House and pull himself off the presidency?
No kidding!
