The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 478 The First Long March

Huang Mingli had known for a long time that he would not go south with the large army for the time being this year. He knew that the Huang family's family had a big business now, and if there was no one in Huangjiawan Island, the owner would be worried, so he readily agreed to stay.

The site of Zhongmingbao belongs to the Huang family. After a large number of water conservancy facilities have been built there, there are already 200 million acres of fertile land. Now some sweet potatoes and corn have been planted. work.

These ordinary people are rescued Han people who used to be Aha, and there are thousands of Korean Aha, who have now become farm farmers. Each of their households has a small population, and the population will rise in a straight line when their lives are settled.

Zhongming Fort is a bastion close to the sea. It forms a twin fort defense system with the city of Qianhu Qianhu in Guangning, and the layout is scientific. During wartime, soldiers can freely enter and leave the city of residential buildings, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Do not come to two forts.

Huang Sheng thought that such a fortress was connected to the sea, and when thousands of troops from Jiannu came to attack, there were [-] to [-] soldiers and civilians who hid in Zhongming Fort.

Huang Sheng hoped that Hong would lose his mind and come to Zhongmingbao to spend it. After three years of building slaves, they may not be able to win Zhongmingbao. They don't have the ability to besiege here.

Leave one Bai Zong musketeer to be led by the Bai Zong when he was taken as a special loader for students, and leave two Bai Zong cavalry as seed troops to develop, and spare no effort to train the Xiangyong of Zhongmingbao. After all, this is outside the customs. Force is the basis of survival.

Zhongming Fort is not far from Gaotai Fort, and there are thousands of Khalka Mongolian cavalry from Qingertai to assist in the defense, so it is safe and sound.

Leaving the same number of seed troops stationed on Juehua Island to train Xiangyong, one of the loaders, Musketeer Yun Zhonglai Baizong, led the team to stay. He was born as an orphan on Juehua Island, and now he must be an officer stationed on Juehua Island They will not be unilaterally massacred by Jiannu like their parents.

"Huaxia Island" now has a population of more than [-]. Most of the advanced factories of this era are flourishing here. The two large docks are building warships and merchant ships respectively. This is the lifeblood of the Huang family and must be strengthened.

After several years of study, Xiao Changgui has fully mastered the combination of theory and practice. He is now the commander-in-chief of the Artillery Corps.

The soldiers of the Huang family's artillery all studied and participated in the research of gunpowder, the quality of gunpowder, the amount of loading, the weight and shape of the shell, and the elevation angle of the muzzle. By giving them data, the Huang's artillery can calculate the landing point of the shell, although It can't be precise and it's almost the same!

There are bastions and forts in Huaxia Port, and there are 36 artillery pieces. The largest caliber is twelve 32-pound guns, including four rifled guns. Xiao Changgui stayed on Huaxia Island with a hundred artillerymen. Artillery cadets still have thirty field guns for training.

Ma Wu was born in the second batch of loaders of the Patriarch. Now he is the commander of the musketeers. He has three hundred commanders under his command. Now he is also a military officer with the rank of commander of the third rank guard. He can't do without a famous name. He asked Bian to take his name. Several came to choose, and finally chose the very meaningful name of pawn.

Ma Wu is now a cultural person. He said that he is called a pawn of the horse, and he will always be the pawn of the teacher.

His elder brother Ma San is also a military officer of the third rank, and his younger brother is a pawn before the horse. He gave himself the strange name of the post-horse cannon according to the gourd painting. Blame the cannon afterwards.

The musketeers of the pawns left a total of 600 men and horses behind "Huaxia Island".

The left-behind cavalry of "Huaxia Island" is the commander of Han Kuan. Although he is already a general in Chaozhou, Guangdong, he will not take up the post. Anyway, the head of the family is the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Who else dares to ask?

"Huaxia Island" is big enough for cavalry to gallop. There are horse farms on the island, and there are tens of thousands of draft horses and war horses. It is his task to train Xiangyong to be able to ride horses and become mounted infantry that is no less mobile than cavalry.

The defensive force of "Huaxia Island" consists of [-] main and auxiliary soldiers, and at least [-] townspeople. If there is an enemy invasion, the army can be expanded to more than [-]. It should be solid.

After all, this is a new territory, with North Korea and Japan within easy reach, and it is the defense focus of the left-behind navy.Regular inspections of the sea area and the capture of nearby sea ships are in progress every day.

The reason why Huang Sheng arranged meticulous defense this time is because this time the southward battle may be protracted, and he will definitely not return to Liaodong within a year, nor will he go to "Huaxia Island". One and a half years or three to five years.

It is also unknown that he was dragged by the guerrillas of the Da Viet Kingdom on the muddy Annan battlefield.

Huang Mingli knew that his mission was to stay dormant and seek development. Low-key training to enhance strength was the top priority for the past two years. There were only a few hundred Huang's left behind troops on the roster of Liaodong officers and soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible for them to participate in the military operations of the Liaodong Economic Strategy.

Of course, Qing Getai is excluded, but it depends on whether Sun Chengzong can gain the trust of this Mongolian Taiji, so that he is willing to follow the Ming army to Liaodong.

As early as June [-]th, Li Dagang, Gu Shanhe, Huang Donghai, Gu Yicang, and Wang Zhigui had already landed from Laizhou in the name of Guanqian Taoists with five soldiers totaling [-] to the governor of Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, and Guangdong. The government marched.

This is the first long march of the Huang family's private soldiers. It has extraordinary significance and carries too many missions.The chief officers are all able-bodied generals, and the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers are all selected elites.

This is Huang Sheng's intention to train his subordinates' ability to march long distances. They have to build bridges across mountains and rivers, adapt to climate changes, and learn how to prevent and control epidemics.

There was a field artillery commander, three cavalry commanders, and a musketeer commander who traveled thousands of miles overland. They brought a total of [-] war horses and [-] draft horses.

In addition to the designated supply vehicles and armored combat vehicles, there is also a medical team accompanying the army, as well as [-] steel wheelbarrows, two general logistics soldiers, and one chief engineer follower.

Shang Muming and Li Ximing led the propaganda team to publicize along the way. This long road will pass through Shandong, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi, and they will meet too many ordinary people. The Huang family wants to show a new army to the people of Ming Dynasty.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, most of the Ming army's military discipline was corrupt, so there is a saying among the people that "bandits' faults are like a comb, soldiers' faults are like a grate, and officials' faults are like shaving."

And the new look of the Ming army displayed by the Huang family will let everyone see a reliable iron army.

The propaganda team will also send some gifts to the common people who take the initiative to help the army, such as cooling oil, a small bag of salt, small mirrors, matches, nail clippers and other small or novel gadgets.

Master Huang’s men and horses were strict in starvation and did not plunder the common people. Not only that, they would also help the poor and help the poor. The propaganda effect must be very good, and the political purpose is of course to win the support of more Ming people.

The supplies brought by the army going south by land can meet the needs of three months, because considering the need to save the people with food along the way, the Huang family will also use the commercial network along the way to supplement supplies for their troops.

When the team crosses the Yangtze River, they will receive a large amount of food supplements, and when they arrive at Raozhou Prefecture, there will be food ships to provide supplies.

It is a long road of four to five thousand miles, although there are official roads connecting it, it will definitely not be fast with [-] horses and many carts involved in the transportation.

It takes nearly three months to march an average of sixty miles a day. With this time, I don't know how many ordinary people can show the style of the Huang family's private soldiers.
