The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 635 Overseas Military Bases
The rapid reaction force is a new type of combat thinking spawned by the Gulf War in later generations. It can maintain a very high state of readiness for a long time, and achieve rapid deployment, rapid support, rapid surprise attack, and rapid enemy control.They are usually independently organized and fight independently, and in order to shorten the logistics preparation time, they are only equipped with light weapons.

At present, the Qing army is taking advantage of the early establishment of the Han Dynasty and the rebellion in Huguang, looking for the narrow part of the Yangtze River to cross south and attack.The Dragon Guards and the Polu Battalion were pinned down on a six- to seven-hundred-mile-long front, tired of tracking down the enemy. Not only were the soldiers very tired, but their combat efficiency was also unsatisfactory. Many places were plundered before the Ming army arrived. .

Li Dingguo's team also ran all over the country when they were rogue bandits, and they were extremely fast, and they were more familiar with the harassment of the four than Jianlu.If they are equipped with a new type of four-wheeled carriage and spring-wheeled short gun weapons, they will be able to intercept Jianlu harassment along the Yangtze River. With their reaction speed and "experience", they will surely achieve good results.

It's just that the name "Quick Response Force" is long and awkward, so Zhu Linmi crossed out these words, thought for a while, and changed it to "Quick Battalion", which is a designation for Li Dingguo's department.

However, this team is from the Daxi Army team, and it needs to be "reformed".Later, he added arrangements such as the rotation of the soldiers of the Swift Battalion to enter the military academy for "advanced training", and the dispatch of a large number of guides for them to conduct ideological work.

Solved the problem of Li Dingguo's "organization", and then came the Loyalty Camp.For the rest of the Dashun Army, Zhu Linmi had a headache.

This army has a lot of bad habits left by bandits, and it is not as strict as Li Dingguo's army. When they were in Jingzhou, it was common to rob ordinary people.As for combat power, although they are much stronger than the old Ming army, they are still far from the "pass line" in Zhu Linmi's mind.

It stands to reason that the most appropriate way to deal with it is to dismantle them, leaving the elite as garrisons in various places, and the rest will share some money and go home to farm.But this time the Loyalty Battalion played a very crucial role in the process of pacifying Huguang, so it was unfair to them.

It's best not to break them up, but not let them cause harm to the place, Zhu Linmi shook her head slightly, this is a paradox.

He changed his mind, or he could take a step back, as long as they don't harass the people of Daming.His eyes suddenly brightened. That's right, now that Ming's maritime trade is on the right track, the sphere of maritime influence will continue to expand. In the future, there will inevitably be many vassal states and colonies that will need to be protected by garrisons.

With the fighting power of the Zhongzheng Battalion, it is definitely no problem to deal with the "native" armed forces in East Asia, South Asia and other places. They can be sent to various places to serve as overseas garrisons, but it is still difficult to change the habit of banditry, and it is not a big problem to rob barbarians.Even in the dark and barbarous seventeenth century, a garrison that was more brutal and overbearing in the colony could have helped to deter the place and make the colony more stable.

Having made up her mind, Zhu Linmei's first thought was Ryukyu.This small country has always been obedient to Ming Dynasty, and has been repeatedly invaded by the Japanese. It has long been looking forward to the protection of the Celestial Empire, and it can send the Loyalty Battalion to the country as a pilot for the first overseas military base of Ming Dynasty.

In the future, North Korea, Japan, even Guinea, Australia and other places may need to garrison troops for defense, and the loyalty camps with less than 2 people may not be enough to allocate.He wrote down a list of possible overseas military extremely low target locations on paper, thinking that when the Northern Expedition is successful in the future, the rebel army incorporated in Jiangbei can also solve the "employment" problem in this way, which is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.

The third team that needs to be arranged is the white pole army.This team can be said to be the No. [-] combat force of the Ming Dynasty under the Dragon Guard Army and the Polu Camp. At the same time, under the strict management of Qin Liangyu, the military discipline and quality are remarkable. It is also the core force responsible for the southwest and northwest battles of the Ming Dynasty. .

It's just that there are too many traces of the Qin family's private soldiers on the white pole army, which is fine right now, but it will be very detrimental to the management of the Ministry of War after the peace.It is better to incorporate them into the regular combat sequence of the Ming army. After careful consideration, Zhu Linmi finally decided to let them become part of the Ming army.

In this way, the field army had three teams: the Dragon Guard Army, the Polu Camp, and the Baigan Army.After thinking about it for a while, he picked up a pen and marked the backs of the three troops: the first battalion of the field army, the second battalion of the field army, and the third battalion of the field army.Since then, the numbers have been unified, and the standard numbers will be used in the formal management process of the Ministry of War in the future. However, the original numbers will continue to be used as a symbol of glory.

Afterwards, he made a detailed plan for the Ming Field Army, the garrisons in various places, and the navy. It was not until the morning light appeared in the east that he put down his pen and fell asleep on the big round table in the conference room.

Near dinner time, large and small ships docked at a pier still under construction on the south bank of the Longjiang River.This is where the famous Xiaguan Wharf will be located in the future, and it will be an important port for water transportation in and out of Nanjing in the future, but it has only been planned for two months now.

On the shore, Yang Tinglin had already brought more than a hundred officials to wait, a luxurious imperial chariot stood in the middle of the road, surrounded by thousands of soldiers from the broken barracks holding guns.

Old Yang Ge knew that the new ruler didn't like to make a big show, so he only cleaned the streets without putting up any other fancy decorations.

Even so, Zhu Linmei frowned a little, thinking, although the emperor has power over the world and is majestic, he is becoming less and less free. It seems that no matter where he goes in the future, this kind of shouting and hugging will be indispensable. The guard of honor.

He put Ma Wensheng's shoulders on his shoulders and walked down the diving board. He turned his head and ordered the naval officers to return to the Wuchang area immediately, and then he signaled to the group of people who were kneeling and worshiping, "Everyone, please rise." He then whispered to Yang Tinglin who was the first to meet Said, "In the future, we should bring as few people as possible to meet and see off, and everyone should stick to their duties."

Yang Tinglin bowed respectfully and said: "Minister, please remember." He asked carefully again, "I wonder if the trip will go smoothly?"

With the help of Li Dingguo's sudden supernatural power, Zhu Linmi's westward journey has achieved remarkable results. With the help of Li Dingguo's sudden supernatural power, he has basically solved Huguang's persistent illness. Let’s talk about the Hall of Mental Cultivation.”

The moment he stepped onto the imperial chariot, he suddenly saw a corner of the curtain of the carriage parked not far to the east, and a pair of beautiful big eyes were looking at him from there.

He was so familiar with those eyes, he couldn't help but feel happy, and whispered a few words to Ma Wensheng.The eunuch looked at the courtiers and guards around him, bowed his face bitterly and said, "My lord, it's not appropriate for so many people to watch, right?"

Zhu Lin thought that it would be inappropriate for me to get together with my wife in broad daylight, ah, a wife-to-be, so she patted Ma Wensheng and said, "Just do it."

"The slaves obey the order."

When the emperor's chariot drove away from the pier, Eunuch Ma drove a carriage to catch up with the imperial chariot.Then the two cars stopped, and a handsome young "son" boarded the imperial chariot under the surprised eyes of all the officials.
