692 The Daily Life of the Northern Trio (1)
Although Ha Liu was riding a fast horse, he did not dare to gallop in the camp area. He followed the camp rules honestly and followed the messenger, leading the horse to trot all the way, and finally arrived in front of the camp department.
The construction of the Feihu Camp headquarters completely copied the barracks of later generations. It has an entire cement-hardened floor and walls, and several two-story brick-concrete buildings.
Facing the gate, in front of the only three-story battalion headquarters building, there is a flag-raising platform. Flying high on the flagpole are the national flag of Dayan, the military flag and the army flag.
After passing the security inspection in front of the door, Ha Liu dismounted and walked. First, he went to the third floor of the battalion headquarters to queue up for registration. After about two sticks of incense, Ha Liu saw him in the office, dressed in general uniform with a gold star on his shoulder.
The officer of Feihu Camp, the deputy commander-in-chief of Ming Dynasty, and Major General Zhang Zhongqi.
Regarding Major General Zhang and Feihuying, the ranks here are a bit confusing because two systems are mixed: the Ming Kingdom and the Great Yan Kingdom.
In other words, in the Ming Dynasty, the word "camp" represented two different meanings in terms of tactics and strategy.
First of all, the Ming Dynasty's battalion heads are most commonly specific tactical units. For example, the Three Thousand Battalion is the Royal Guard with a rated cavalry of three thousand.
When the famous Qi Jiajun started, it was just the head of a newly recruited battalion with a capacity of 3,000 soldiers. Because of the high quality of the miners in Yiwu, Qi Jiguang illegally recruited an additional 1,000 "black households" soldiers.
Secondly, in the Ming Dynasty, terms such as Jingying and Sandaying were used to refer to them in general terms. The "battalion" here is not a tactical unit, but a general term, and the actual responsibility is the group army.
For example, the Jingying camp includes more than 100,000 garrison troops of the Ming Dynasty. It is a general term that includes tactical units such as the Fifth Military Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the Tenth Regiment Battalion.
If we refer to later generations, the Beijing camp should theoretically be called the Ming Dynasty Imperial Capital Group Army.
It explains that the camp head of the Ming Dynasty is now Feihu Camp.
As for the origin of Feihu Camp, it was originally built temporarily when Cao Zhongchen went north to King Qin. After the King Qin incident, Feihu Camp was officially disbanded, but in fact, elites were left behind for reorganization.
The name of this cavalry battalion, as it was known to the outside world at the time, was the garrison logistics office set up in Tianjin by a loyal minister from the south for the convenience of the future logistics king. It had a capacity of 200 and the battalion officer was Chief Qian Zhang Zhongqi.
As time goes by, the time-traveling forces continue to use all-round advantages to "squeeze" into the original military and political territories in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and Tianjin's Feihu Camp has also achieved considerable development.
From then on, through step-by-step subtle influence, including the cover-up of treacherous ministers in the DPRK and the military pressure from the northern captive chieftains, the court finally acquiesced to the fact of "additional" battalion heads in Tianjin. The battalion officers of Feihuying also became "from General Qian"
"Ji Gong" was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief.
Today, the so-called Flying Tiger Camp, in the eyes of locals who are familiar with the situation, has changed from a simple tactical unit to a comprehensive military unit, representing the Cao family warlord in the south, similar to the Jingying, and the general strategic name of the Guan Ning Army.
.
However, in the current military structure of Dayan Kingdom, there is no such organization as Feihuying.
Externally, it is Feihu Camp. Internally, it is replaced by the Third Division of the Army.
In recent years, in the face of a geometric increase in the territory under actual control, Dayan's regular army has been able to expand.
However, the regular army formed according to the concept of hot weapons of later generations is undoubtedly a gold-eating beast... The formation of an army is a gold-eating beast, and the training and operations after it is formed are even more like a gold-eating beast. Even with the current rapid development of Dayan
The country's economy can only gradually increase its troops.
So as of today, leaving aside the miscellaneous pioneer armies, local armies, "friendly neighbor" warlords and other miscellaneous names in various places, Dayan's regular army only has three divisions at full strength.
The First Division is a fully-manned strategic reserve with a strength of up to 7,000 people. It is currently located in Guangdong, and its main strategic direction is along the Xijiang River. It is cooperating with the navy to open the Yunnan-Guangxi channel.
The Second Division is an empty division with only two-thirds of its personnel actually deployed. Currently, part of it is stationed in Siam and other places for training, and the other part is stationed in the Jiangnan area.
The personnel and equipment of the Second Division are relatively scattered and cannot be integrated. The Army has issued multiple reports based on this, requesting that it be expanded into two new divisions based on the actual troops stationed in the two places... However, the cabinet has always refused
agree.
The Third Division, which is in charge of the northern military, mainly cavalry and headquartered in Tianjin, is also understaffed and half-assed.
However, the main force of the Third Division is gathered together, and the division commander Zhang Zhongqi can mobilize more than 2,000 regular cavalry to carry out combat missions at any time.
Two thousand modern cavalry armed with advanced breech-loading carbines and able to charge in a wall array were invincible in the north of this era.
Therefore, His Excellency Zhang Zhongqi, Commander of the Third Division, is responsible for the military force of the Chuan regime in the north at this stage.
————————————————————————
Ha Liu, who is an old man of the Third Division, is very aware of the potential power of the force he works for.
Just like a tiger lurking in the jungle, if you occasionally show a few claws, you can do anything.
And he, Ha Liu, is one of his minions.
Ha Liu, who is used to being the eldest brother, now faced a general with a relatively gentle attitude... Commander, he really didn't dare to take a breath, salute properly when entering the door, and say hello properly.
"Our secret service hero is back, sit down."
Zhang Zhongqi was in a good mood. When he saw it was Ha Liu, he asked him to sit opposite him: "I heard that the mission was completed well?"
"Reporting to the commander, overall, there are no major flaws."
Ha Liu knew that this was his duty report. Then he coughed, sat up straight, and gave a detailed report on the mission.
Although he had already learned the general outline of the matter from the radio waves, Zhang Zhongqi still listened carefully to the comprehensive report from military chief Ha Liu.
"Well, very good, not bad."
After being in management for so long, Zhang Zhongqi, a loser in his previous life, has now learned how to win over people. Especially for indigenous elites like Ha Liu, who are capable inside and outside and highly adaptable to the new system, Zhang Zhongqi admires it very much: "At present, it seems that the follow-up of the mission
Part of it should be completed, and my personal evaluation of your task this time is excellent."
After thinking about it, Zhang Zhongqi arranged: "Those under your command who have returned should hurry up to celebrate the New Year in the past few days, and all the vacations that should be granted will be granted."
Seeing Ha Liu nodding in agreement, Zhang Zhongqi said again: "It's you, you have to work harder and you can't leave the military camp."
Ha Liu understood: "My subordinates know that it won't be hard to wait for the telegram after the new year."
"Well, you should always maintain and cultivate your own overall concept."
"My subordinates must obey the instructions."
"Haha." After he finished speaking, looking at Ha Liu who was dressed as a gangster, Zhang Zhongqi asked: "Are you a captain now?"
After receiving a positive reply, Zhang Zhongqi became excited: "If your mission goes well after the year, I will give you an Army training course. When you go to our capital, you must study hard and observe carefully. When you come back after graduation, I
I will personally award you a promotion."
The Third Division currently does not have the rank of lieutenant colonel. Except for Major General Zhang Zhongqi, the other battalion commanders who lead troops all have the rank of major.
In Feihu Camp, where there are many brave men and women, Ha Liu, who has not yet obtained the reserved rank of major, is extremely precious.
When Ha Liu heard this, his mood was agitated. He immediately stood up and involuntarily performed the Ming Dynasty worship ritual that he had repeated countless times when he was young: kneeling on one knee and clasping fists with both hands.
When Ha Liu was a pawn in the army, he did this etiquette every day, every month, and every year. But because his ancestors were naturalized Mongolians, and the Ming Dynasty military guards were in a state of decay, Ha Liu had to do it every day.
I am saluting, but I am ignored and despised every day.
"I would like to thank you sir for your cultivation. I am deeply grateful. I will work hard for you in the future and serve you to the best of my ability."
"Get up." Zhang Zhongqi sighed: "We treat officers and soldiers as equals. This old habit must not happen again in the future."
"And." Zhang Zhongqi stood up and helped Ha Liuhou, looked into his eyes carefully and said, "Remember, we are all working for the commander to conquer the world. If you forget this, I'm afraid your future will be ruined.
It’s too narrow.”
"I don't dare, I will remember your instructions!"
————————————————————————
A few days of New Year's Eve passed quickly. During this period, the time-travelers who had not yet taken control of the administrative rights of Tianjin City could only accompany the ancients to spend an old-style New Year's Eve with the sound of firecrackers... That's it,
Feihuying also dispatched rod-type fire trucks free of charge to help put out several large and small fires in the city.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year as agreed with the Taihang Gang, in the early morning of that day, an unknown radio wave passed into the Feihu Camp Operation Center, which had already raised its alert level.
Half an hour later, shrill whistles and rallying horns sounded in several military camps around the Feihuying headquarters.
An hour later, two cavalry battalions with a total of one thousand people had gathered at the large playground in the south of Tianjin City, and battalion officer Zhang Zhongqi had already begun mobilizing for battle.
Soon after, the rumble of horse hooves sounded. A large cavalry team set off in the morning light.
"Well, I can use two battalions of troops for this big show. I hope I can bring more people back."
Watching the riding shadow retreating on the school stage, Zhang Yingguan sighed to Ha Liu beside him: "The pressure is so great. The Tuwang in the south has already set up its formation for a protracted war, and there are Spanish support on hand.
The muskets and Fort Lidzhu are now fighting from morning to night, and they are about to be driven into the sea to feed the fish, and the cabinet is red-eyed."
The appointment major Ha Liu immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, I heard that Nanyang is a miasma land, malaria is rampant, it is not easy to live in!"
Seven more days later.
Early in the morning, the drama of the new era that the people of Tianjin loved to see was staged again: hundreds of disgraced, dejected and exhausted people, escorted by majestic and high-spirited cavalry, passed through the city and rushed to the "Big Haozi" in the mouth of the indigenous people.
camp".
Soon, the news spread like lightning: the people who were raided by Lianwo this time were heroes from the Taihang Mountains.
The next moment, the Taihang Gang members, who were strung together with ropes, received a warm welcome from the residents of the big city: ridicule, whistles, rotten vegetable leaves, and the saliva of children.
And that night, Ha Liu, who went to Dahaozi Camp to visit the prison, met Gu Ming, the head of Taihang, who had an appointment with him at Tianjin Huahua World.
The boss, who had riding crop marks on his face, had already figured everything out at this time.
Facing the eldest master's hateful gaze, the big-faced Ha Liu sincerely stuffed a bottle of medicine into the eldest master's hand: "Old brother, from now on we will be ministers of the same palace. This is for preventing miasma, I give it to you.
It’s great!”
