Chapter 701: Goodbye Yamashita Yong
Su Qi'an said in the end, his words were cold and his attitude was resolute, and he didn't care at all about the threat of resignation from these county guards.
He knows better than anyone the importance of developing the Dongzhou Naval Division, the geographical location of Dongzhou is determined, the strength of the land army is nothing, and if you want to maintain long-term peace and stability, you must vigorously develop the Naval Division.
He knew that it was basically nonsense to rely on himself to create a powerful naval division army, but what he could do was to plant a seed for the Dongzhou Naval Division, at least there was hope for it to take root and sprout.
Everyone wants to enjoy the shade with their backs to a big tree, but if no one is a pioneer, this big tree is not just a castle in the sky, it is pure fantasy.
The end of the war in Dongzhou cleaned up the external sea troubles, and at the same time cleaned up a large number of corrupt officials and families inside.
With such a good ecology, Su Qi'an will never let it go, since he has set up a plan to promote the reform of the water division, no matter who it is, he can't stop it.
This point, before summoning these people, I discussed it with Wu Dingguo, if you can talk about it, then talk about it, if you can't talk about it, don't blame Su Qi'an for using it.
Su Qi'an's last strength had a great effect on everyone in the house, and everyone who was still indignant just now didn't dare to speak.
Their eyes flashed, as if they were thinking.
After a short silence, when their eyes met, Qin Zhen spoke as a representative.
"The subordinates understand the intentions of the inspectors, and the subordinates promise here that as long as the inspectors have the heart to promote, the subordinates are willing to make concessions, and everything is for the people of Dongzhou."
"The subordinates are willing to give in and help the inspector rebuild the Dongzhou Water Division."
The voice fell, and the rest of the county guards also clenched their fists and spoke in unison.
The reason why they agreed so happily was that in addition to being afraid of Su Qi'an's strength, more importantly, they also knew that what Su Qi'an had done would only be good for Dongzhou in the long run, and there would be no harm.
The establishment of a strong naval division unit can indeed reduce a great burden on them, and it can even cooperate with the naval division troops to go on an expedition to the sea.
The geographical location of Dongzhou, how unclear they are, how important it is to have a strong water division.
But after so many years of construction, they have long been disheartened, and many things are from top to bottom, which can be said to be difficult to return, and it is too difficult to sort out.
But with Su Qi'an's arrival, they saw some hope, and this conversation completely saw Su Qi'an's determination.
They know that Su Qi'an is not talking about playing, but really wants to vigorously develop, with him in charge, enforced, no one in Dongzhou will dare to say a word more.
With such a supervising envoy rushing forward, they are such front-line generals, how can they drag Su Qi'an back.
Speaking of which, some of their internal selfishness is nothing, as long as they support it vigorously.
To be honest, Qin Zhen also wants to see that if a powerful Dongzhou Naval Division is really established as Su Qi'an wants, they will not be afraid at all even if they have a hard encounter with the Fusang Naval Division in the future.
After in-depth heart-to-heart talks and the combination of grace and power, this last bit of resistance can be regarded as completely removed.
The subsequent reduction, reorganization, and expansion of the Dongzhou Naval Division were very smooth.
Regarding the matter of assessment, Wu Dingguo naturally sent someone to solve it, and under the unity of everyone, it only took half a month, and the reform of the Dongzhou Naval Division was basically pushed to the end.
Of the 20,000 land troops that were dismantled, except for a small number of them who could not be selected because of physical discomfort, most of the rest, at least about eighty percent, were successfully classified into the naval division sequence.
As for the small number of shortages, they were recruited from recruits, and in addition to the allocation of troops, Su Qi'an made clear arrangements for the warships, weapons, personnel, generals, and even logistics maintenance of the Dongzhou Naval Division.
The entire Dongzhou Naval Division was divided into four divisions, each of which retained fifteen to twenty warships, and each warship should have no less than ten artillery pieces.
And the commander of this water division did not send any generals, this is also to prevent one family from dominating, and the transfer of more than two divisions requires the joint order of Wu Dingguo and Chu Xiong.
As for the size of the division in peacetime, the division commander under the command only needs to report to either of Wu Dingguo and Chu Xiong, and the rest of the time, the four divisions are in charge of the four division commanders and are independent of each other.
As for the candidates for the commanders of each division, Su Qi'an has also been appointed, the first division is served by Tian Rong, and the remaining three divisions are also carefully selected senior commanders in the water division troops.
These people, in the previous battle of Dongzhou, led the sailors to contribute a lot, and they have strong command skills, so it is logical to promote them.
The officers below the brigade level were also finalized and discussed with Wu Dingguo for a long time before they were decided, and these people did not say that they were outstanding in each command, but they could guarantee one thing that they were absolutely loyal to Dongzhou, and they had a mortal enmity with the Fusang Japanese Invaders, and they would never have the idea of defection.
Even if these middle-level officers may be shaken, Su Qi'an is not afraid, because among the grassroots officers of the Dongzhou Navy Division, especially at the company and platoon levels, they have all been trained through the devil training month of the Dongshan Army Instructor Corps.
In addition, these people have all experienced the Dongzhou Naval Battle, both theoretical and actual combat, and these people are the basic plate of the entire Dongzhou Naval Division.
And those who can pass the devil training month of the Dongshan Army Instructor Corps, at least ideologically, maintain correct thinking.
Never betray Da Liang, never betray the people of Dongzhou.
This is engraved in the bones of every grassroots officer, and with these people, it is impossible for the Dongzhou Navy Division to be instigated to rebel.
In the list of these grassroots officers, Su Qi'an saw an acquaintance, that is, Wang Wu.
From a pure and kind civilian fisherman, after joining the army, after enlisting in the army, he has experienced bloody battles and training, and now he has become a qualified grassroots naval officer.
Seeing Wang Wu's name, Su Qi'an was still quite relieved, because Dongzhou had these pure and kind people, he believed that as long as the upper echelons set the tone and the lower levels implemented it well, the new Dongzhou Navy Division would definitely have amazing combat effectiveness, and Su Qi'an was waiting for this day to come.
With so many arrangements, it is impossible to say that Su Qi'an has no selfishness, as far as Tian Rong, the commander of the first division, the warships and equipment of the first division are the best, and Su Qi'an brought Xiao Si and other logistics maintenance personnel from the R&D department, and established maintenance teams in each division.
can see a little bit of Su Qi'an's thoughts, he wants to establish his own sailor army.
Before coming to Dongzhou, Su Qi'an had thought about these things, but because the sea disaster had not been eliminated at that time, and the internal instability of Dongzhou, Su Qi'an put these things on hold for the time being.
And now, to rebuild the Dongzhou Water Division, Su Qi'an has invested a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, but he is not doing any charity.
Having his own Navy division troops, even if it seems that they are relatively weak at present, as long as they are given time to develop, the Navy Division troops will sooner or later become a big help for Su Qi'an.
Su Qi'an's thoughts naturally can't escape the eyes of Wu Dingguo, a veteran who has been sitting in Dongzhou for many years.
Although he knew, Wu Dingguo did not intend to expose it, Su Qi'an's original intention was still for the sake of the people of Dongzhou, he wanted to have his own sailor troops, and there was no conflict with protecting the Dongzhou sailor.
Moreover, he personally invested a huge amount of people, money, and materials, and if he wanted to give it up in vain, let alone Su Qi'an, it would be impossible for anyone to agree.
What does Su Qi'an want to do with his own sailor army, Wu Dingguo can't control it, he only has one request, don't use the Dongzhou sailor to split and beat his own people, and the rest is a trivial matter.
Wu Dingguo's attitude, Su Qi'an was very moved, this is a kindness, it is a very heavy kindness, Su Qi'an will remember it in his heart.
Su Qi'an assured Wu Dingguo that the existence of this Dongzhou Navy Division is to unite with the outside world and protect the people of Dongzhou, as for beating his own people and engaging in separatism, Su Qi'an promised that he would never take the initiative to stir up trouble.
With Su Qi'an's promise, Wu Dingguo still believed it, and this matter passed in the conversation between the two.
With the success of the reform of the Dongzhou Naval Division, the reform of the other land armies was also carried out smoothly, and with the passage of time, the remaining month soon came to the last five days.
In the past two months of governance, Dongzhou has changed a lot now, the internal family and officials are stable, and everything is promoted in an orderly manner according to the law.
Externally, after the reform of the Dongzhou army, it also played its value, and the original situation of the nine counties before and after the situation was met by Fang Jingzhi, Fan Chong, Wu Dingguo, and Chu Xiong, who assisted.
Even though the land force has been streamlined, the process has been simplified, and patrols and maneuvers in the state have become much more efficient than before.
In particular, the reorganization of the new Dongzhou Naval Division, and the daily patrols were also involved, which made the streamlined land army obviously feel a lot easier.
The two sides have taken a two-pronged approach, and in this slow cooperation, some thorny bandits in the state have almost been easily resolved.
The vast coast of Dongzhou on the outside, because of the capture of Zhoushan Island and the transformation of it into one of the bases of the sailors, the entire coast of Dongzhou is like an inland sea, no longer as before, patrolling tightly, and afraid of facing the attack of pirates and pirates at any time.
With the escort of the army, the Xiao Xiao inside Dongzhou is basically suppressed and can't raise its head, and now Dongzhou is getting better day by day.
Looking at Dongzhou, which was getting better and better in front of him, Su Qi'an was very satisfied, and solved the internal affairs of Dongzhou, and before leaving, he had to solve one last thing.
To meet with King Yue, who has been waiting for him for a long time, there are some things that the two sides need to have a good chat about.
But before leaving, Wu Dingguo and the others did one thing, that is, to execute the captives of Yamashita Yong and Inoshita.
Because he was too busy in the past two months, Su Qi'an almost forgot about these captives.
For these people, death is inevitable, and for what they do, it is cheaper for them to be directly executed.
Su Qi'an didn't plan to see Yamashita Yong's execution, but when he heard that he was in prison, because he couldn't see Su Qi'an, he scolded all day long, and that emotion was like a nerve, and no one could stop it.
I didn't see Su Qi'an, and I didn't blink my eyes.
Although I don't know why Yamashita Yong is so persistent, this request is not excessive, Su Qi'an thought about it and changed his mind to meet Yamashita Yong.
