I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 253: Cheng Shijie's Luzon Strategy
Chapter 252

Behind every outrageous regulation, there will be even more outrageous accidents.Like the Bolivian law that limits married women to one drink, this law is meant to prevent married women from getting drunk and flirting with other men.

This makes you have to think that the Bolivian legislators must have been greened to introduce such a law. Otherwise, how could they enact such absurd laws?

There is also British law that prohibits death in Parliament. Anyone who dies in Parliament will be granted the qualifications for a state funeral. Therefore, the UK specially made this provision to avoid "intentional" death in Parliament by unrelated people.

Cheng Shijie now understands this point. The essence of the Marriage Protection Law he enacted is to stop exploiting the loopholes in Liaodong law, using the name of concubines, and not paying wages to workers.

The infinite pursuit of profit is the nature of capitalists.There are actually many people like Chen Dayong’s father, Chen Laosan, and Fang Yongchun. For example, in Liaodong, there are as many as 30 people who take more than 89 concubines. They are all in the name of taking concubines. labor.

The problem now is that Cheng Shijie has tasted the evil fruit he planted. Fortunately, Zhu Weiti doesn't know about this matter now. Of course, it won't be long before this matter is hidden, Zhu Weiti will definitely know.

At that time, what can Cheng Shijie do?
Smack your own mouth and revise the "Marriage Protection Law"?
No matter which one is adopted, it is unacceptable to Cheng Shijie. As the industry in Liaodong becomes more and more developed and the production efficiency becomes higher and higher, women can do more and more jobs. However, the status of women in Daming Too low, like goods can be bought and sold at will.

If a one-size-fits-all approach is adopted, it will only make things worse for ordinary people and will only push ordinary people into a bottomless abyss.

In fact, what parent would sell their daughter if there was any way?If you sell it, you still have the possibility to live. If you don’t sell it, you can only die, and the whole family dies together.

Cheng Shijie has a deep understanding of this point. Motorcycles were banned in Hanhai City back then, and ordinary people could ride motorcycles to and from work. The rainy season in Hanhai City lasts for more than three months. There is no way to charge electric vehicles in rainy weather. When there is no electricity, electric vehicles can only travel by taxi.

Based on the transportation fee in Hanhai City, the distance from Cheng Shijie to the unit costs 600 yuan per month, so he uses a detachable battery. After buying a car, he will not buy a tram, because charging in the open air is too unsafe. It is also inconvenient.

The current marriage protection law can only be maintained, at least at the current stage, it needs to be maintained, unless there are no more poor people in Ming Dynasty, and the human trafficking can be directly eliminated, and concubinage is prohibited.

Now, it is very difficult to implement this law, otherwise it will become Wang Mang, a prince with steps, and it is easy to mess up.

"Marshal, the imperial court issued another imperial edict, I hope you return to the capital as soon as possible!"

Cheng Shijie didn't want to go back. Once he returned to Beijing, he would face Zhu Weiti and twelve concubines. Eight of his twelve concubines had only met once, and he couldn't even pronounce their names. , two surnamed Li, one surnamed Chen, another surnamed Lin, one surnamed Fang, one surnamed Wu, and one surnamed Zhang.

"The commander is busy with military affairs, so it is inconvenient to go back for the time being!"

Cheng Shijie looked at Liu Qingsong who had just arrived in Luzon and asked, "How is the discipline training of the new army?"

"Full of complaints, full of resentment!"

Cheng Shijie laughed loudly: "Military discipline must be strictly enforced!"

"Marshal, we are now in Luzon, not in China, isn't it too strict!"

"No, the military discipline of the Ning Navy is only aimed at all the officers and men of the Ning Navy, regardless of whether they are in Liaodong or Luzon. In the future, we will go to the Central Plains to counter the rebellion. Does it mean that the Central Plains is not a territory controlled by our Ning Navy, so we can act recklessly? "

"Marshal, are you making a fuss out of a molehill?"

Liu Qingsong said: "Are the natives considered human beings?"

"Eating, buying and selling things, these are trivial things, because of small things, but the impact is bad, resolutely put an end to it!"

After finally staying up all night and turning around in all directions, taking three major strides, and asking for it in a military posture, these new recruits of the Zheng Group found that the torture they faced had just begun.

Ning Haijun's military discipline already has more than 100 rules, which is too strict!They are not allowed to gather crowds to fight, drink alcohol or smoke without authorization in the military camp, engage in any form of commercial activities in the military camp, gather crowds to gamble, gather crowds to commit adultery, leave the military camp without permission, bring their family members into the military camp without authorization, and accept Any gifts from outsiders must be bought and sold fairly, and no credit is allowed... Simply put, when you enter this military camp, you will be cut off from eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, smoking, cheating, cheating, abducting, cheating, and robbery.

Many people think that the soldiers of Ning Haijun are not here to serve as soldiers, but to practice.What makes the recruits more satisfied is that these military disciplines are treated equally, not only the recruits must abide by them, but even their instructors and the elite veterans of Ning Haijun must abide by the same.

In case of violation, officers will be punished more severely, and if the circumstances are serious, their future will be ruined.Another point is that although military discipline is strict, it has not yet reached the point where you will lose your head at every turn.

In fact, corporal punishments such as cutting off ears, cutting off noses, gouging out eyes, stabbing characters, and sticking arrows in the camp are all invisible. Ning Haijun has five punishment methods. For minor cases, punishments such as standing in a military posture, push-ups, or long-distance running If the circumstances are more serious, they will be placed in confinement, and if the circumstances are more serious, they will be beaten with army sticks. When they reach the step of being beaten with army sticks, they are not far from getting out.

In other armies, hitting with military sticks is the lightest punishment, but here, it is a great shame and humiliation.Of course, the death penalty is more serious than beating the baton and retiring.Behead the bribe taker!Those who are good at selling military capital will be beheaded!Get cold feet and behead those who escape!Those who betray military secrets will be beheaded!Beheading women who rape!Those who kill good people and take meritorious deeds will be beheaded!
Which one should be punished by corporal punishment, which one should be locked up, which one should be punished with army sticks, which one should be rolled up and rolled up, and which one should be a capital crime. Those who die!Well, even the law enforcement team is in danger of being enforced.

Although the recruits of the Zheng family complained, they had to train in the same way as they were training, because in the Ning Navy Army, they received generous material treatment, and also received respect that they had never enjoyed before. .

"There is no better soldier in the world than Youshan, hardworking, simple, decisive and daring to fight, this southern soldier..."

Looking at his soldiers, Zheng Zhilong once again realized what it means to compare goods with one another, and to compare people with others.

Standing in the same military posture, Zheng's recruits are all constipated. It can only be said that they are reluctant to persist. Once the password to disband is given, they will hide.

But the soldiers of the Ning Navy stood like pine, sat like a bell, and remained motionless like a mountain. Especially when they were bitten by mosquitoes, these veterans of the Ning Navy were as unconscious as wooden men.

Zheng Zhilong saw his old unit being eliminated one after another under the training system of Ning Haijun, and his face was a little uncomfortable.

He actually didn't know that this was the result of Cheng Shijie's deliberate release of water. If not, it would be good to have 17 remaining Zheng's army soldiers of more than 3.

In fact, the army soldiers of the Zheng Group are now reorganized into 101 to 121 regiments, a total of 21 regiments, with a total of more than 11 troops.As for retaining such recruits from the Zheng family, the main purpose is to implement a plan, that is, the plan to vacate Luzon for birds.

In Cheng Shijie's strategic plan, none of the natives of Luzon Island should be kept, and all of them should be wiped out. Otherwise, it would be a disaster to keep them. If such a plan is implemented, mass killings will definitely occur. This kind of work, ordinary people may go crazy , but the soldiers of the Zheng Group are different. They are pirates themselves, and killing is commonplace for them.

Cheng Shijie will have a total of more than 12 army soldiers in the Zheng Group, including their family members, almost one million people. They will be placed in Dayuan or Luzon. , every 12 people make a team, and four teams make a whistle.The three posts form a company, and each company has 12 people in the company headquarters, a communication team, and a cooking team of 180, and each company has a full establishment of [-] nine people.

Every four companies form a battalion, plus the medical post, military post, communication post, supply post and battalion headquarters, each battalion has 970 six people.

Every four battalions form a regiment, plus the regiment headquarters, the medical and nursing company directly under it, the supply company, the reconnaissance and guard company, and the military law company, each regiment has about [-] people.

Although Cheng Shijie's military reforms to Zheng's group, the role of habit is still huge, especially the battalion commander. The soldiers are very accustomed to calling each other Lord Qianhu. After all, a battalion commander manages soldiers and horses similar to Qianhu.As for the head of the regiment, in the eyes of the recruits, he was the commander.

As for the company commander, that's what they saw as Ba Zong, but the rank of Bai Zong was abolished.

Zheng's army soldiers were reorganized into an army of about 11 troops, which is no longer important to Zheng Zhilong. In order to avoid suspicion, unless Cheng Shijie intends to invite him, he will not show up and has no face show up.

No matter how hardcore his soldiers, including Zheng Zhilong's family Ding Bing, were quickly bought by Ning Haijun's welfare benefits.

Although Ning Haijun's training was very hard, no one was willing to back down. What were they holding their heads up for?Is it not to survive?

What else can they do besides participating in the Ning Navy?
Cheng Shijie's initial reorganization system for the Ning Navy was to see if this regiment could undertake tactical-level tasks. A regiment is full of more than [-] people. But the problem is that once they suffer casualties, the regiment's supplementary soldiers It will suspend the supplement, the basic actual combat effect, and evaluate the staffing problem of the regiment-level tactical unit.

It has been a full month with the first batch of new army units in training.

Cheng Shijie said to Liu Qingsong, who was in charge of commanding the new army, "The weeding plan can be launched!"

"Marshal, these soldiers are actually far behind!"

Liu Qingsong was transferred to Luzon to serve as the commander of the new army. Of course, it was only temporary. These 21 regiments will be disrupted and reorganized into ordinary regiments in the future, and reorganized into brigades with the rest of the Ning Navy.In Cheng Shijie's plan, every three infantry regiments will be reorganized into a brigade of 800 people. For Luzon, Dayuan and Medan, a brigade-level unit will be stationed, which is enough to meet the needs.

Except for the three garrison brigades, the other troops belong to the field army unit. The field brigade is different from the garrison brigade. An artillery battalion, a rocket launcher battalion, and a cavalry battalion are added. The total strength of each brigade exceeds 2.

"You have been in our Ning Navy's army for a long time, and all you see are super-class elite troops. You are used to first-class soldiers and first-class officers. When you look at other troops, it doesn't look right no matter how you look at it."

"Marshal, when will you let them do it?"

"Soon, maybe in these few days."

Liu Qingsong looked at the subordinates who were being trained with some confusion, and sighed: "I just don't know how many of them can survive this bloody storm?"

Cheng Shijie patted Liu Qingsong on the shoulder: "Don't think so. Even without us, they would still die, either being swallowed by the sea at sea and dying silently, or being beaten to death by resistance when robbing a merchant ship, or Beheaded by officers and soldiers, in short, it is inevitable to die. They may die faster if they follow us, and they may still have a fight!"

Liu Qingsong took a deep breath: "Marshal, you're right, you're acting like a child of the last general."

Cheng Shijie said: "We are different from the Dutch and the Spaniards. Their biggest weakness is that there are too few people, but what we in Ming Dynasty need most is the population. You must first figure out what is our position in Luzon?"

Liu Qingsong asked a little puzzled, "What is it?"

"Leave no land and no one!"

Cheng Shijie said seriously: "When we were in Annan, we suffered from this aspect!"

The Ming Dynasty once occupied Vietnam. At that time, civil strife broke out in Vietnam, and the king was ousted.The king's grandson came to the Ming Dynasty and asked Zhu Di for help to quell the rebellion.Zhu Di agreed, and sent five thousand elite soldiers to escort Wang Sun back to Vietnam, and put down the rebellion by the way.But Zhu Di still underestimated the Vietnamese.The rebels have stabilized the political situation in Vietnam and are enthroned as the new king of Vietnam.When five thousand elite soldiers escorted them halfway, they were killed by the new king's army halfway, and they were caught off guard.The five thousand elite soldiers of Ming Dynasty were all wiped out, and the king and grandson of Vietnam were also killed.

This immediately made Zhu Di furious, the King of Vietnam doesn't think much of my Celestial Dynasty, does he dare to kill my soldiers?This is clearly a provocation!Zhu Di immediately dispatched 30 troops to Vietnam.These soldiers are basically elite soldiers who have participated in the "Battle of Jingnan" and maintained a high combat effectiveness, so they quickly conquered the entire territory of Vietnam.

However, after occupying Vietnam for more than 30 years, I gave up. The real reason for giving up Vietnam was that it was not cost-effective.The government of the Ming Dynasty collected taxes from Vietnam for only seven days and ten thousand taels of silver in one year, but it turned out to pay millions of taels of silver. In addition to the huge expenses of the local garrisons and administrative agencies, a total of more than 300 taels of silver would be thrown into Vietnam in one year. Ten thousand taels of silver!This amount of money was huge for the Ming government, and it can be described as a heavy ambition.

Cheng Shijie said: "Luzon used to be very closed, and has formed a de facto independent kingdom. They have their own language, culture and national beliefs. No matter how good we treat them, they will rebel from time to time. It's better to do it once and for all. solve this problem!"

Liu Qingsong said with a smile: "Then the general will understand. In fact, he is also training soldiers. These soldiers are still very poor. No matter how you train on the training ground, you can't train elite soldiers!"

"That's right, elite soldiers are all produced!"

"Those natives who surrendered..."

When the words came to his lips, Liu Qingsong shut up directly. Did Cheng Shijie order these words?
It is impossible for Cheng Shijie to leave any stains. There are stains and mistakes, and those are also Liu Qingsong's mistakes.

Cheng Shijie reorganized the soldiers of the Zheng Group and set up a regiment-level combat unit, mainly considering that this is a cold weapon operation. Ning Haijun's rifled rifles have not yet reached Cheng Shijie's real goal, and Ning Haijun's current size is very large, it is impossible Easily change clothes.

You must know that the current Ning Navy has undergone several expansions, especially after the annexation of the Zheng Group, the number of troops has exceeded 20 horses, and it takes a lot of money to refit more than 20 horses.

Just like the Rabbit Army of later generations, it has been using backward and modernized [-]th tanks for a long time. Until now, it has not been completely retired, and there are still more than [-] [-]th tanks in the army.

Why didn't the ninety-nine main battle tanks be replaced?
The answer is actually very simple. First of all, the torrent of my rabbit’s tanks is almost impossible to gallop on the battlefield. Needless to say, no country in the world is willing to fight a land army showdown with my rabbit. If it is a modern war , Even if it is [-]A, facing missiles or air bombing, the result is the same.

Even five or nine is enough.

Daming's army, including Daming's current enemies, are almost all cold weapons, with fewer muskets and poorer quality. At this stage, the equipment of the Ning Navy can already crush the equipment of various forces in Ming Dynasty.

As the equipment of the Ning Navy was transported from Liaodong to Luzon, the newly formed 101st regiment and the three regiments 102 and 103 began to change their equipment first. The first was the long guns produced by the Ning Navy, and the long guns of the Ning Navy were bundled into a large bundle. A large bundle, like sugarcane, with a long gun shaft more than three and a half meters long, and the combined length of the gun head and the gun bottle also reached half a meter, which together was four meters long.

Each person has one such spear, especially Tang Zhiren's horizontal knife, which can also be said to be a two-handed knife, and each person has one handle. This kind of two-handed knife is made of calfskin. It is black and shiny, but there is no decoration. It looked unremarkable.The horizontal knife is three feet long, the blade is two fingers and a half wide, the spine is very thick, and the blade does not look very sharp, but veterans who have been on the battlefield know that this is a real sharp weapon that can be used in battle, like that The blade of the sword is thinner than paper, and when you hold it in your hand, the sword flowers will flash. The seemingly light sword can only be used to show off.

Next is the armor, which includes the helmet, shoulder armor, breastplate, and greaves, all made of fine steel, and the weight is not very heavy, including the helmet, it only weighs twenty catties.With just such a pair of armor, it is basically immune to bows and arrows, and if it is shot, it will only bounce off.

The recruits of the Zheng family got these equipments, and they were even more glad that it was the most correct thing for them to join the Ning Navy. You must know that the equipment of the Zheng family's army is not bad if it has a long knife. A long spear with a blade of less than three inches to more than two meters.

Located at the base of the fourth company of the 101st Regiment, the commander of the recruit regiment is naturally a veteran of the Ning Navy, and the commander of the fourth company is Yue Chaoqun, a veteran of the Ning Navy who participated in the Battle of Baliwan in Haizhou.

Yue Chaoqun looked at the soldiers of the Fourth Company who were showing off their equipment and said, "Everyone be quiet and listen to me!"

"Well, the equipment has been sent to you, everyone must hurry up to train, adapt to the new equipment, and prepare for the next decisive battle!"

Yue Chaoqun continued: "Our next step is to carry out the weeding operation. This operation is very simple. It is to eliminate the enemy in front of us. The task is not difficult, and it is even quite easy, but I still ask you to give [-]% attention. If the difficulty is not high, you will be negligent!"

Yue Chaoqun looked at the more than 100 recruits under his command and said: "We will set off tomorrow. According to the usual practice, we have to leave a suicide note. A suicide note is a letter to our family members. Take it easy. Leaving a suicide note does not mean that we are going to die. It is to let you have no regrets, if we unfortunately die in battle, don’t worry, the pension will allow our families to bury us happily.”

Yue Chaoqun's words not only did not ease the atmosphere, but made the recruits feel extremely depressed.

"Commander Yue, if we die in battle, how much pension will our family get?"

A recruit dared to ask a question.

Yue Chaoqun asked, "What's your current monthly schedule?"

"A tael of silver!"

"How long have you been in the military?"

"Eight years!"

"The pension is your salary for two years, plus the number of years you have served in the army, so it is about 32 taels of silver, plus a minimum of [-] mu of land!"

"32 taels of silver?"

"There are really that many?"

"Will you not give it?"

The recruits finally broke the silence, expressing their surprise at this number.

There is nothing surprising, human life is worth this price these days, not to mention 32 taels of silver, for a few copper coins of food, there are people who will take risks, kill people and rob goods.

"There is no doubt that if one of you dies in battle, his family will definitely get the money."

Cheng Shijie has repeatedly emphasized that the pension is very useful. It is not only a comfort to the families of the soldiers who died in battle, but also an encouragement to other soldiers, so it is impossible not to give it.

Yue Chaoqun smiled lightly and said: "Although you are said to be recruits of Ning Haijun, most of you have been on the battlefield and know that the battlefield is like that. If you want to get promoted and get rich, then bravely kill the enemy. We Ning Haijun Among them, there are many landlords with thousands of acres of riches, including this company commander, who is also a small landlord with 750 acres of beheading level seventeen."

Luzon City is [-] kilometers south of Manila, which is Batangas. Batangas Port is also a larger small fishing village at this time. There is no trace of a big city in later generations. Instead, the most prosperous area is in Taal Lake.

Taal Lake is 25 kilometers long, 18 kilometers wide, with an average depth of 100 meters, the deepest point can reach 172 meters, and the surface area can reach 234.2 square kilometers.

In the center of Taal Lake is the famous Taal Volcanic Island. In the middle of the volcano is a volcanic lake, also known as the "crater", with an area of ​​about 1 square kilometer, creating a beautiful landscape with mountains in the lake and lakes in the mountains.

In another time and space, this is the third largest lake in the Philippines. This lake vividly interprets the lakeside scenery of the tropical rainforest. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that there is an island in the lake, and there is a Taal Volcano in the island, which is the smallest in the world.This volcano is the lowest active volcano in the Philippines.Every time a white smoke rises from the mountainside, tourists watching from a distance on the shore of the lake are all amazed at this magnificent scene.

However, it is a pity that Lake Taal has become a slaughterhouse at this time.

"Marshal, do you want to interfere!"

Wu Shangzhi received the latest news and said to Cheng Shijie: "Commander, the soldiers of those three regiments have gone crazy. They killed people and robbed villages when they saw them. Hundreds of nearby villages were burned down by those guys. Taal Lake used to have more than 50 plantations and a population of more than [-] people, but now it is said that two-thirds of them have been killed, and the lake is dyed red!"
