Chapter 635: Choose a path

Let’s say that Zu Dashou, He Kegang and others are the second batch of Jinzhou Army who boarded 6 Taiwan. The Jinzhou Army has already boarded 6th in Tainan and moved to a large military camp in the suburbs of Tainan.

The arrival of Zu He and others was warmly welcomed by the Southeast Mansion, and Sun Chengzong welcomed them on behalf of the leaders.

There is no need for a leader to come forward. Sun Chengzong's qualifications are their old superiors. Once standing there, Zu He and others' knees were all weakened and they had to kneel on the spot!

Sun Chengzong laughed and said: "There is a new wind in my southeast mansion, unless I see the leader, I can't kneel down and worship!"

They respectfully invited the leader Jin An, and Sun Chengzong told them: "The leader led the fleet in training at sea but has not returned. You will meet again when he comes back."

"The leader personally trains the army?" Jinzhou army members asked in astonishment.

"Yes, leaders have always been diligent in practice!" Sun Chengzong said.

Being a leader is not easy. It is not easy for him to train the fleet, patrol the army and localities, correct documents, handle government affairs, and grasp both military and political affairs.

Zu Dashou, He Kegang, etc. went to a barracks of the Southeast Army to take a break. They got to the place, but they saw that the dormitory was a building, a concrete building, painted with white ash, and the inside was a suite with eight people in one room, while ordinary officers had two There is one room for each person, and one room for senior officers. For example, Zu Dashou and He Kegang live in a single villa in the "General Building".

The barracks are lined with trees and there are many training venues.

In the barracks canteen, Sun Chengzong personally picked them up, accompanied by Mr. David, Zhou Quanbin, Yan Dian, Zuo Liangyu and other Southeastern officers, including dozens of officers from the 6th Army and 6th Team of the Navy, showing their importance. .

"This is Zhou Quanbin, the hero who captured Batavia!" Sun Chengzong introduced.

"Long Yang! Long Yang!" Jinzhou military officer said.

Naturally, the best dishes from Taiwan are delivered to the table one by one, and there is also a drinking ban. Everyone will try their best to make friends and eat happily.

The people of the Southeast Mansion were very polite and spoke highly of the Jinzhou Army, saying that they were the mainstays in dealing with the northern captives, and their work would be forever!

Sun Chengzong toasted and said loudly: "The northern captives are raging, and it is a disaster for the north. Fortunately, everyone has turned the tide, resisted the northern captives, and made the north clean!"

Jinzhou soldiers were ashamed to say: "The government's words are heavy!"

Zu Dashou said on their behalf: "I can only protect a corner of the north, and the northern captives detoured and ran across the north, but I can do nothing about it. I am really ashamed!"

"Otherwise, it would be a great achievement to let the northern captives pass by and have to go to the poor and remote places!" Sun Chengshou exclaimed, "Come on, let's drink to the heroes!"

"drink!"

Everyone broke up with joy, and Zu Dashou came to the General Building, but saw that the equipment was set up according to the Liaodong system, and couldn't help but be greatly satisfied.

His son Zukefa (actually an adopted son) came to meet him in the first batch of troops that arrived in Tainan and told him: "The Southeast Government sent us a batch of horses to our first batch of troops, saying that they would form a cavalry unit. We conducted training but did not recruit us. Those who were not included in the Southeast Army said that we will wait until you come back!

"So Southeast Mansion still respects us!" Zu Dashou said happily.

Next, the officers and soldiers' representatives were arranged to visit various places in the Southeast Mansion.

They saw the pomp of the warships in the Kaohsiung Military Port, and there was another fleet at sea!

They visited the three armies of the Southeast Navy, the 6th Army, and the 6th Navy, including the barracks, shipyards, and army training.

The Gao Shipyard in the Southeast Prefecture occupies a magnificent area, and the two "Southeast Asia-class" battleships under construction on the slipway are particularly eye-catching.

In the army training, they saw the joint training of foot artillery in the Southeast Mansion, like a rolling torrent. Any enemy who dares to block its front will surely incur heavy losses!

What shocked them was two things:

One is that there are quite a lot of the 6th Army of the Southeast Army. Zuo Liangyu who accompanied them throughout the tour said: "We have expanded our army and changed from a brigade to a division. I am already a division commander!"

There are 10,000 people in a division in the Southeast Mansion, and now there are less than 5,000 people from the Jinzhou Army. Zu Dashou sighed: "We are getting more and more mixed!"

The second is that there are quite a few cavalry units in the 6th Army of the Southeast Army!

The cavalry unit is divided into two parts. The first part is about 3,000 people, barely organized into brigade-class organization, riding ponies on the playground. They are equipped with sabers, bows and muskets. What surprised Zu Dashou was their bows and arrows. Not bad, compared with the Jinzhou Army, but inferior to the Jinzhou Army in riding skills.

Zuo Liangyu said that this was a cavalry unit formed by the leaders of the indigenous people of Taiwan and those ethnic minorities. They naturally knew how to use bows and arrows, so they were drafted into the army.

The Southeast Mansion dominates with firearms, but this cavalry unit still uses bows and arrows.

The other cavalry unit has more people. It is a dragoon division under the command of Zuo Liangyu. Most of them are immigrants from the north. They can slash and kill on the spot (no match for regular cavalry), or they can dismount to form a musket formation to meet the enemy.

Explaining the principle, Zuo Liangyu said: "The leader uses troops to fight the enemy. We must create conditions without conditions. Although our cavalry is inferior to the northern captives, only the cavalry can deal with the cavalry. Therefore, we have also formed dragoons, at least not allowing the northern captives. Pulling our degrees too far."

"If you really want cavalry vs. cavalry~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the northern captives may not be able to win!" Zuo Liangyu said proudly.

The grandfather's arrogance couldn't help but weaken by three points.

They also visited the Southeast Gun Artillery Factory, Sugar Factory, Tobacco Factory, Trade Center, Administrative Center, Schools, Universities, Military Schools, Municipalities, Residential Buildings, etc.

They were deeply impressed everywhere. The wealth and prosperity of Southeast Mansion made them obsessed with it. Before, they were only heard by ears, but today I saw them in person, and they were amazed!

After the visit, Zuo Liangyu invited them to have evening tea at the Tainan Hotel on the coast. His accompany was Zhou Quanbin, and he invited Zu Dashou, Zu Dabi, He Kegang, and Zhao Haiyang, the son of Zhao Lijiao.

The two officers of the Southeast Mansion were in uniform uniforms, and the medals hung on their chests were shining. They had serious expressions, which made the Jinzhou army understand: "The Southeast Mansion is going to have a showdown with us!"

"You have two ways out!" Zhou Quanbin said: "One is to join our Southeast Army, but our Southeast Army is different from the Ming Army."

"All soldiers swear allegiance to the leader. The army is not private, and there is no family system like the Ming army, that is, there is no private army." Zhou Quanbin declared that the Jinzhou officers silently nodded their heads. Known when explaining the situation intentionally or unintentionally.

After receiving the military payment, the generals of the Ming army deducted the military payment and gave a portion to their private soldiers. These private soldiers were rewarded by the generals with better equipment, and even by virtue of their merits, the masters were worthy of their fathers and sons or grandfathers, and their income was ten times that of the sergeants. , They only listen to the generals' words, and don't listen to the instructions of the Ming Dynasty. It is a system for the family.

"The other way out is for you to cross the sea to Daming. You have made great contributions to the country. We are willing to send you a fee. Thank you for your service to the country!"

Zhou Quanbin said indifferently: "Please consider it carefully!"
