1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 489
"Are you waiting for Teacher Qi to coerce our new army and do something wrong?" Zhu Shirui asked with a sneer.

When Jiang Yongrui, the commander-in-chief of the new army, mobilized the officers and soldiers in the army, he was ready to go to sea with the ships of Qi State and jointly attack Liaodong Jiannu.General Zhu Shirui, who was in charge of the management of the new army, jumped out with a group of officers to stop Jiang Yongrui's actions.

"When the new army was first established, we had an agreement with the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. After the training of the new army, we can lead the troops out of Liaodong to attack and kill Jiannu, and use battle instead of training. The two are combined. That's it. Only then can we build a strong army." Bai Dahai frowned and said: "Lord Zhu, what is the purpose of the inappropriate things you said?"

"The establishment of slaves in Liaodong is very powerful, and the tens of thousands of people guarding the Ming army are still invincible. Our new army has [-] people. It has only been a few months since it was formed. The training is insufficient, and the salary and equipment are lacking. How dare we go out to sea and attack the slaves of Liaodong so easily?" Zhu Shirui Said.

Nima, you also know that the new army itself is not well trained, the armaments are not fully equipped, and the payment of food and salaries is delayed. You, a general in charge, don't want to solve all this, but you spend your days in the army every day, even He also privately deducted the soldiers' salaries, and tried his best to evade the war when the Ministry of War dispatched troops to fight.This new army is in your hands, I'm afraid it will be useless!
"Then, is Master Zhu refusing to let me teach you to deploy troops?" Bai Haihai said impatiently.

The Weiyuan Fleet and the Ryukyu Fleet brought twelve ships in total, preparing to carry two Marine Corps companies and three Township Squadrons, a total of about 600 soldiers, and recruit more than [-] civilians to go to the coastal town of Korea. Looting, replenishing enough immigration supplies for Changshan Island.

When the fleet was about to set off, Battalion Commander Xu Chuanxing suddenly thought that there were [-] new troops of the Ming Dynasty in Tianjin Wei. Although the troops were poorly trained and their combat effectiveness was very doubtful, they were still an army of the Ming Dynasty. It can also represent the Ming court to punish North Korea for abandoning the vassal responsibility and ignoring the grace of Daming's rebuilding.

Therefore, the Qi State Fleet sent five ships to Tianjin Wei Wharf, trying to load the [-] new army officers and soldiers on board, and then join the brigade.

But when the instructor of the Qi State Marine Corps proposed to recruit new troops to go to sea to fight in the name of attacking Liaodong to build slaves, these honorable officers who couldn't stand on the stage actually wanted to stop them and were unwilling to go to sea to fight.

"Everyone has worked hard for our new army, and I respect it very much. However, sending troops rashly, even though it is a battle for training, our new army is still a little immature after all, and we need to practice and train for a while before we can go to sea to fight Otherwise, the casualties of the soldiers will be too heavy, and we will not be able to explain it.”

Because the new army is a firearms unit specially formed by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. Although the army is often in arrears with food and equipment, and the equipment is not complete, it is also named after Emperor Chongzhen, and it is not easy for Zhu Shirui to learn all these vassal states. excuse me.At this time, the speech is also a little softer.But in words, he still refused to lead troops to go to sea with the Qi Marine Corps to fight.

"Okay, you guys have a good drill and training in the barracks first, but we are going to go to sea." Bai Dahai looked at the group of new army generals, and couldn't help shaking his head and said: "It's just going out to fight, look at how cowardly you are." That's it! We originally wanted to lead you to make contributions and make some money by the way. Hey, I really think highly of you!"

Zhu Shirui and other distinguished generals were ridiculed by the instructor of the Qi State Marine Corps. Although they were upset, they couldn't refute for a while.Going to work hard with Jiannu, making meritorious deeds, getting promoted and getting rich, men can't do it.If you lose your life, the family's wealth will be cheaper than other brothers and sisters.Do we need to work hard for our status?
"General, Biaoxia wants to take hundreds of brothers under his command to Liaodong to meet Jiannu for a real chapter, and by the way, he also wants to fight for a future for himself." Jiang Yongrui, who was standing next to him, suddenly bowed to Zhu Shirui and said, "Wan I hope the general will allow you!"

"Yo!...Do you want to go to Liaodong?" Zhu Shirui looked at Jiang Yongrui in surprise, the son of the maidservant of Dingxi Hou Jiang Bingzhong's family is still a life-threatening master!

"I want to go!" Jiang Yongrui said seriously.

"Tsk tsk..., planning to make meritorious service in Liaodong, and earn another title of marquis for your Jiang family?" Zhu Shirui said with a teasing smile.

"The general is just joking." Jiang Yongrui ignored Zhu Shirui's sarcasm and continued, "Going to Liaodong is just a chance. If you can make some contributions, you will have a good future in the army."

"Okay, you will represent our new army and accompany Qi Guojiao to go to sea to fight." Zhu Shirui thought for a while, and then agreed. If Jiang Yongrui can make some contributions, he can get a share of the profit.Even if he led all his people into Liaodong and caused heavy losses to the new army, wouldn't there be Qi Guoxie who can take the blame!Using battle instead of training, the result is that the training is not good, and Jianu was killed, but we can't blame it.At the very least, our new army still dares to fight.

In the end, there were more than 100 officers and soldiers of the new army who went to sea with Jiang Yongrui, equipped with more than 200 flintlock guns, more than 200 bird guns, and more than 30 long knives. On the seaside pier, boarded the ship.

"Among the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, these 500 people are the only ones who have any kind?" Zeng Dachang, the captain of the Xingbo, looked at the officers and soldiers of the new army of the Ming Dynasty who boarded the ship one by one, and asked with some disdain.

"Yes, there are probably more than 500 people who have the guts." Bai Haihai also felt that their months of training for the new army were almost for nothing. Not cultivated.Even though more than 500 people came, I am afraid that half of the officers and soldiers are still worried at this moment.If you really want to fight against Jiannu, maybe you will collapse immediately when the opponent rushes.

"Do they know where to go?"

"Tell them on the surface that they are going to Liaodong."

"No wonder, all of them are mourning, thinking that we are taking them to die!"

"Haha..." Bai Haihai laughed loudly, "Even if we went to Liaodong, we didn't die. It's not like we haven't beaten Jiannu before. Under our musket fire, Jiannu was still beaten! "

"Bai Jiaoxi, shall we...don't go to Liaodong?" Jiang Yongrui, the general manager of the new army who came behind Bai Haihai, seemed to hear from the conversation between the two that the other party was not going directly to Liaodong, so he couldn't help asking suspiciously.

"Let's go to North Korea." Bai Dahai said: "We will smash this country that turned its back on Daming and enshrined Jiannu as a vassal of Zhengshuo to weaken its strength. This will prevent North Korea from arbitrarily providing Jiannu with sufficient logistical supplies and fighting forces." troops."

"North Korea?" Jiang Yongrui was very surprised when he heard the words, "North Korea is a country listed by Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty as an unconquered country."

The 14th edition of Hongwu's "Ancestral Precepts" once said: All foreign countries, such as Annan, Champa, Koryo, Siam, Ryukyu, Western, Eastern, and Nanman small countries, are limited to mountains and seas, secluded in a corner; get their land It is not enough to supply, and it is not enough to command the people.If he doesn't know what to do and comes to disturb me, then it will be bad luck.He is not troubled by China, and it is not auspicious for me to raise troops and attack lightly.I am afraid that future generations will rely on the prosperity of China, be greedy for temporary military exploits, raise troops for no reason, and injure lives.

In the later years of Hongwu, the old Zhu emperor was afraid that his descendants would be arrogant, frivolous, and willfully use the army, which would cause disaster, so he listed fifteen neighboring Asian countries as Ming's "countries not to be conquered", stipulating that future generations should not invade without reason.

"I remember that Annan was also a country that Emperor Hongwu decided not to conquer. However, hundreds of years ago, Emperor Yongle still sent a large army to destroy this country, and even set up prefectures and counties to include them in the Ming Dynasty." Zeng Dachang interjected.

"But..., but, aren't we going to fight Jian slaves?" Jiang Yongrui asked.

"A few years ago, North Korea was conquered by Jiannu and became a vassal state of Jiannu." Zeng Dachang said: "Moreover, North Korea contributed countless gold, silver and grain to Jiannu, and even sent out thousands of gunslingers. People, followed the Jiannu army into Kouguan. On the Liaodong battlefield, there were also a large number of Korean firearms soldiers following Jiannu to fight against the Ming army. Therefore, we can count North Korea as a part of Jiannu.”

"Compared to the establishment of slaves, North Korea's army is weak, which is just right for your new army to practice." Bai Haihai said: "In addition, it can also make everyone rich. Look at you, even the soldiers' salaries are owed and deducted. No wonder your Ming army is so invulnerable! Just like that, who is willing to sacrifice their lives for the soldiers below?"

After Jiang Yongrui listened, he stopped talking.At this time, everyone boarded the ships of Qi State, and fought against Jiannu and North Korea. Is there any other choice?However, the opponent of North Korea should be regarded as a relatively weak opponent compared with the new army.As the suzerain country for hundreds of years, the soldiers below should have some confidence to face the North Korean army.
