On Wilmington's Wharf Square, more than a hundred Tessie militiamen are training.

According to Mu Yongfu's order, Dongyi State will reorganize the original Taixi militia to the Ming military system.

Eight to sixteen people are a team, three teams are a flag, three flags are a sentry, and a sentry usually has more than a hundred people.

Today, the Taixi militia on the dock is formed according to the formation of a team of twelve people.

Not counting officers, there were a total of one hundred and eight soldiers at one outpost.

Each team arranged three Yin veterans as role models, and one Ming veteran as an officer.

Now each flag is together, under the reprimand of the officers of the Ming Dynasty, walking back and forth, turning, running, and shouting slogans.

This training system, of course, is the "first" of Emperor Shizu and the Ming tradition inherited from the Renwu Dynasty to the present.

Because the ordinary militia and the Ming officers did not understand the language, when the training first began, several interpreters were also on the scene.

First of all, it is necessary to help the officers translate the orders and requirements, so that the soldiers can practice and memorize them repeatedly, remembering the main typical slogans.

When they had memorized and could follow the officer's orders, the interpreter went to rest under the shed next to him.

Stockton took a sip from his glass of water and looked up at Erica returning from another team.

After two weeks of preparation, the uniforms of the interpreters were ready and officially changed today.

The men were prepared with a dark blue, and the women were going to use a light blue.

However, Erica was adamantly against it, and although she did not say it directly, it seemed that in order to avoid placing women in a subordinate position to men, she ended up choosing a completely different light brown.

Now that the weather is still relatively cool, female translators basically wear knee-length cotton socks or knee-high boots to avoid direct exposure of their calves.

Stockton looked at the image of the girl opposite, and saw that she was wearing a highly similar style of clothes to himself, and there was always a strange feeling in his heart, as if this dress was more suitable for them.

No wonder His Royal Highness Prince Daishi would say that these clothes were not designed specifically for men in the first place.

Erica walked to the rest area, frowned, and said to the distracted Stockton in a questioning tone:

"What are you looking at? Until now, do you still think that the clothes designed by His Royal Highness are not women's clothing? Or do you think such a defeat is more debauched? ”

Stockton immediately reacted:

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I just suddenly realized that the clothes fit you well."

Erica didn't show any expression and didn't respond again.

Picking up his water cup, he slowly drank tea while looking at the soldiers training not far away.

Looking at the soldiers who were a little clumsy, always walking unneatly, and often walking on the same side with their arms and legs, I couldn't help but shake my head secretly.

"To educate these Taixi people, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have really worked hard......"

At this time, Stockton came over again to find a topic, which was asked in English:

"Erica, you're from Wilmington too, aren't you? Erica should be your first name and not your last name, right? ”

Erica frowned slightly and turned her head, still answering in a Ming dialect:

"My surname is Ai now, you know it now."

Stockton looked embarrassed and had to go back to the river to watch the soldiers train.

Twenty minutes later, the on-site training was temporarily stopped, the soldiers rested in place, and the Ming officers, who were instructors, went to drink water.

Erica saw the officer of the flag she was acting as an interpreter coming, and almost subconsciously took a cup and handed it over:

"Mr. Li Qi, give you tea ......"

Li Qingsong, who was known as Mr. Li Qi, was obviously stunned, and subconsciously let the side give way, and took the cup from the other side:

"Thank you, I'll just come by myself......"

Erica didn't feel anything at all, and moved forward slightly:

"Mr. Li Qi, do you usually train like this?"

Li Qingsong replied casually:

"Not often, but every month except for two days off, you have to train.

"And now this intensity is the adaptation training of recruits, which is completely different from the model of our regular soldiers."

Erica seemed taken aback, mainly trying to find a topic:

"Train every day? Is the training of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty so strict! ”

Li Qingsong waved his hand and said:

"There are many kinds of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and they are not all so strict......"

Li Qingsong didn't seem to want to say more, but Erica seemed very curious, and leaned forward slightly:

"So what are the specific classifications? What kind of category do you fall into? ”

Li Qingsong looked at this Xiyi woman, and subconsciously distanced himself from her a little.

Li Qingsong knew that Xiyi women were very casual, and the women of the Ming Dynasty were probably not so close to others except for Sister Yao.

He is a regular army of the New Tianfu Huangzhuang, and he is the pro-army of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so he can't be casual.

"There are three types of jurisdiction for the Ming army, as well as three different types.

"The so-called three kinds of belonging, that is, the local imperial court troops, the Huangzhuang troops, and the vassal state troops.

"Three types, namely, the standing regular army, the militia reserve, and the armed civilians.

"I belong to the standing army of the New Tianfu Huangzhuang, the real army of the Son of Heaven."

Erica immediately continued to ask for details:

"Is the Son of Heaven's army the Praetorian Guard? What is the difference between these troops of different natures? ”

Stockton was also listening behind the two, and he was also interested in what Li Qingsong said.

But I inexplicably feel that this situation is a bit strange now.

Li Qingsong looked up at Stockton behind him, and nodded at the curious male translator:

"Nominally, the Huangzhuang troops of our New Tianfu have the same training standards as the regular army of the Ming Dynasty's native court.

"We are all the most advanced elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, the standards of our New Tianfu will be higher.

"Because we are His Majesty's direct troops, only His Majesty can instruct and mobilize us.

"Our supplies and weapons and equipment are directly supplied by the imperial village and the royal consortium, and we do not go through the accounts of the imperial court and the military department.

"We have a relatively small overall number, with the fewest people and departments involved, and of course more efficiency.

"As for the troops of the vassal states, the standards are uneven.

"Because the troops of the vassal state are supported by the vassal state, and the state of the vassal state of the Ming vassal state is different.

"The troops of the wealthy feudal states on the front line were not much different from the regular armies of the imperial court.

"And the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the feudal states in the rear, may not have a standing army at all.

"As for the militia units, they train for ten days a quarter in wartime and twenty days a year in peacetime.

"Armed civilians are only available to immigrants from the pioneering areas, such as those west of the Mihe River, who are basically armed civilians.

"The standard of training for armed civilians is three days a month, and it can be increased at any time depending on the situation."

Erica noticed Li Qingsong's gaze, and subconsciously glanced back.

Finding that Stockton was behind, he immediately pouted involuntarily.

Erica ignored Stockton and was about to continue chatting with Li Qingsong, but Li Qingsong had already put down the cup and stood up:

"I've got to go back and train, and if you don't have anything to do, you don't have to wait here.

"When the training is almost over, you can come back or not at all."

Erica immediately smiled, shook her head, waved her hand, and said:

"No, no, our task today is to act as an interpreter for the Ming soldiers and militia.

"We're here to keep watch, and if there's any password that people can't figure out, they'll need us......"

Li Qingsong was noncommittal, waved goodbye to Stockton again, and went back to continue training those Taixi militiamen.

After Li Qingsong left, Erica glanced at Stockton, and the smile on her face had disappeared.

After an inexplicable pause for a few seconds, Erica finally didn't say anything, and sat in her seat to sort out her thoughts alone.

Li Qi will always take the initiative to distance himself from himself, he doesn't come to his side at all, and he is completely different from some people.

This is probably because Tessie's men are always used to thinking with their lower body and only thinking about finding one more lover to vent their desires.

And the men of the Ming Dynasty are more emotional, more concerned about the family, and more concerned about responsibilities and obligations.

They are only with the women in their own family, and the women of Daming also like to stay at home and teach their husbands and children.

Hey, Daming's family is a truly harmonious and beautiful family, and Tessie's family and the relationship between men and women are distorted.

The family is the foundation of social stability, and only with a stable and harmonious family can there be a prosperous, prosperous, and powerful country.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty came to Beiyinzhou and established the Dongyi Kingdom belonging to the Ming Dynasty here.

Under the leadership of the Ming Dynasty, Dongyi will slowly become a Ming-style country.

If only I could marry a Ming soldier......

Similar situations began to occur one after another in more than a dozen counties on the Dongyi Peninsula, in Long Island, New York, hundreds of kilometers to the north, in various counties and relatively large towns.

The interpreters changed into uniforms and began to follow the troops that had been reorganized one after another, and went to the subordinate counties and villages and towns to station.

They will carry out similar militia restructuring and training in the districts.

The grassroots officers of the Ming Dynasty, who gave orders in the troops and training, gave rise to a general yearning among the surrounding Taixi female groups.

There are also women who are more daring and direct than Erica, but the native soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and Huangzhuang have a high degree of discipline.

Basically, like Li Qingsong, he held his own shelf and stayed away from these women.
