Chapter 399: The new army is in place

Zhang Mingshi, Zhao Hannian, Qin Minping, and Qin Ling's Hunhe army arrived in Ningbo.

The 2,000 Zhejiang soldiers of the Hunhe Army returned to Zhejiang and were welcomed by officials, gentry, merchants and ordinary people.

Baixin Qi ate pot pulp to greet their soldiers, these Zhejiang soldiers participated in the famous Battle of the Hunhe River, and composed a war song of the Chinese people's indomitable resistance to foreign invasion with their lives and blood.

This is the pride of the Southern Army, is the pride of the Zhejiang people, they and the Qi Army of the year to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, defend the best in China, the Yue people are proud to have such soldiers.

At this time, Wang Hongyu was in Tianjin, conducting command at the strategic level.

At the specific tactical level, the Hunhe Army, the Shennong Army, and the Southwest New Army were temporarily courageously carried by Zhang Mingshihe, Zhou Yijie and others.

As soon as Zhang Mingshi and Zhao Hannian arrived in Zhejiang, they arranged for personnel to go to Yiwu to recruit new soldiers, and Yiwu, Zhejiang is the source of the Qi family army of the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang, which is the most famous Yiwu soldier.

It is said that Qi Jiguang had a chance to see the magnificent scene of Yiwu miners beating up, he was attracted by the fierce folk customs, and later recruited 4,000 Yiwu recruits in Yiwu, which was later famous as the "Qi Family Army".

At that time, Qi Jiguang, who trained the army, strictly trained the Yiwu soldiers, and finally became the "Qi Family Army" with the strictest military discipline, the highest training level, the most advanced equipment and the strongest combat effectiveness in the Ming Dynasty.

The Yiwu soldiers are not only very brave in battle, but also very resolute, and when they encounter stubbornly resisting the Japanese invaders, it will stimulate their tenacious fighting spirit and be more courageous.

The Yiwu soldiers obeyed the order, never discounted, and once marched 130 miles in one night, and truly achieved "as fast as the wind".

They won every battle, feared the Japanese and were worthy of the "strongest army in Asia in the 16th century" in terms of discipline and organization.

In accordance with the decision agreed with Wang Hongyu in advance, Zhang Mingshi was ready to recruit 1,000 new troops in Yiwu, and then train according to Qi Jiguang's military training method.

Yiwu is a relatively poor mountainous area in Zhejiang, where the people live a hard life, endure hardships and love hard work, and the people are fierce. The criteria for recruiting new recruits are: not an only child, poor families, 18 to 25 years old without a family, strong body, hard-working, and ingenious.

Through careful selection and checks at all levels, 1,500 people were finally selected as reserve personnel, and after training, 1,000 people were selected to join the Hunhe Army, and the eliminated 500 people will continue to be examined next year, and they can join the Hunhe Army after passing the qualifications.

The training began, and Qi Jiguang's training was very scientific.

The training is very strict, standing in a military posture under the scorching sun, practicing queues, paces, movements, and orders, not only to master the essentials of movements, but also to cooperate with small groups, small teams, and large teams.

It is also necessary to practice marching and fighting, killing skills, battle formations, formations, military regulations and military discipline, keeping in mind the rules and discipline of war, and to achieve orders and prohibitions.

This training was carried out in full accordance with Qi Jiguang's training requirements that year, and it could be compared with the hard training of the Qi family army back then, but it had more powerful weapons and a better internal organization than the Qi family army.

At the end of the three-month selection training, many people could not adapt to the movements and cooperation, and they were eliminated halfway, and they left one after another after taking the return home and lost work pay. Some people are not willing to go back, so they simply stay nearby and follow the training outside the queue.

At the same time, in accordance with the way the Forces nouvelles are organized, they are encouraged to establish an atmosphere of friendliness and liveliness in peacetime and seriousness and tension in wartime.

If you are injured or retired, you can also be included in the construction of the military cantonment system.

Zhejiang's roads, water transport and minerals also have a lot of untapped potential.

The soldiers were secured, and the construction of the military camp was carried out in a planned manner, and the situation in Zhejiang was greatly improved.

Wang Hongyu also laid a foundation in the southeast.

Neither can the foundation of the Southwest

Zou Wenqi is forming the Southwest New Army.

Including the new arms formed according to the charioteers of Qi Jiguang and Liu Wei, the initial training has been completed.

When the new army in the southwest arrives in Nanchang, it can enter Zhejiang and Fujian in the east, and it can also enter Guangdong in the southwest.

Her Southwest New Army had the guards she led at the beginning, and some were selected from all over Guizhou

Elites, there are town soldiers, and there are Jiangxi wolf soldiers. The strength is quite strong, and it has reached as many as 4,000 people.

Zou Wenqi, a girl with strong martial arts skills and eccentricity, has her own set of training methods, and has trained this unruly new army into an iron army capable of attacking cities and towering ground.

Wang Hongyu has already reported for Zou Wenqi as a guerrilla general in the military department, and will be his assistant and escort by his side in the future.

Zou Wenqi's new army in the southwest entered Jiangxi and was greeted by Wang Hongyu's master, Liu Ling.

She led the Southwest New Army to collectively visit the Liu Ling Memorial Hall, and bowed to Liu Ling on behalf of Wang Hongyu.

The people of the Liu Ling clan understood the relationship between this peerless female general and Wang Hongyu, a disciple of Liu Ling, and they were more hospitable to Zou Wenqi, and arranged food and lodging for the Southwest New Army.

Liu Wei's second son, Liu Zuo, inherited his father's legacy and joined the Southwest New Army; The school-age youths of Liu Wei's family enthusiastically signed up to join the army, preparing to fight foreign invaders; Liu Wei's hometown set off a wave of support for the army and joining the army.

There is also his son-in-law Liu Wenzhao, who was in the rank of deputy chief soldier at this time, and tried his best to assist the soldiers and horses of his father-in-law's closed disciples.

Jiangxi is very wealthy, and local officials have mobilized large households to contribute money and grain, and have prepared transport ships that can send the new army and military supplies from the southwest to the front at any time.

The Southwest New Army was moved from top to bottom: General Liu Wei's influence is still there, General Liu Wei has successors, countless followers of Liu Wei are stepping on Liu Wei's footprints to rush to the battlefield, and jackals are coming to deal with them with shotguns.

There are also many military generals who worship Liu Wei also took the initiative to send troops to support the new army in the southwest from many places, and many soldiers and horses were ready to participate in the battle against the Netherlands and the Japanese state, as long as they obtained the approval of their superiors, they could participate in the war.

The Shennong army arrived in Qiongzhou.

Hou Cai, Zhou Zhi, Zhou Qiang and others inspected various places and repaired ports, so that they could attack Southeast Asia or Sin Chew.

They conducted a detailed inspection of Qiongzhou and found that Wang Hongyu had already established a naval base here, and all facilities were being built in full swing.

At this time, Qiongzhou is sparsely populated, there are many ethnic minorities, and it has not yet been developed, but Qiongzhou's unique natural conditions are incomparable with other coastal places, and the three of them admire Wang Hongyu's vision.

Liu Xiang's fleet provided intelligence and a large amount of Southeast Asian rice for the Shennong army, and soon a large warship would enter the port of Qiongzhou, and the Shennong army was training at sea to adapt to the turbulence in the sea as soon as possible.

Local officials in Qiongzhou prepared a large amount of tea for the Shennong army in case the Shennong army soldiers got a blood disease.

The Hunhe Army, the Shennong Army, and the Southwest New Army, these three new armies are all in full swing to prepare for war.
