Chapter 2197

The attitude of the Huizhou salt merchants is very clear. Paying money is not a problem, but the money must be spent in a worthwhile way. What we need to exchange money for Haihan now is not just short-term military assistance, but a long-term and stable cooperative relationship.

, although it is a luxury to hope for both parties to achieve complete equality, at least Haihan must pay enough attention to this cooperative relationship.

In Ma Zhengping's view, the thing that best reflects the importance that Haihan officials attach to this matter is Shi Diwen's personal intervention in the matter. According to what he has learned in Zhoushan these days, although Shi Diwen was only appointed by Haihan State to Zhoushan

A consul, but his autonomy is extremely large, far exceeding the definition of a local official.

Shi Diwen's words and deeds can be equated to the attitude of Haihan Kingdom to a certain extent, and how much attention Shi Diwen can give to this training plan may also mean whether the children of salt merchants can learn real skills from Zhoushan.

Therefore, Ma Zhengping was very concerned about whether Shi Diwen would show up when the salt merchant's children arrived in the port today. It was not until he saw Shi Diwen's carriage and guards arriving that he finally let go of the big stone hanging in his heart.

After Duan Tiancheng finished calling the names, he noticed the change in Ma Zhengping's face. He quickly guessed what he was thinking and asked with a smile: "Were Boss Ma worried that General Shi wouldn't come?"

Ma Zhengping did not deny it, nodded and said: "General Shi is busy with official duties and has many things to do. If he really can't come, then these children from Yangzhou will be so unlucky!"

Duan Tiancheng said if you had asked me earlier, wouldn't I have given you some reassurance? Why have you been so worried for so long?

The two men came forward to see Shi Diwen, informed them of the general situation of this group of students, and then asked Shi Diwen to review this group of students.

Regarding the matter of being inspected by senior officials from Haihan, Ma Zhengping specifically emphasized this matter in the message sent back to Yangzhou, so Dai Chengrong was prepared for it in advance. The first batch of selected students even practiced for a few times in Daijiazhuang.

times. However, because the number of people was not enough for Haihan's request, another group of people came in temporarily, and they immediately set off from Yangzhou, so the preparations were not so thorough.

When Dai Chengrong saw the carriage coming, he had already guessed that this was probably the General Shi mentioned by Ma Zhengping, and immediately gathered the team to wait for the review.

Like other Haihan soldiers that Dai Chengrong saw, General Shi was also not wearing armor, but he was tall and strong, with dark complexion, piercing eyes, and extremely short hair. He looked indeed quite powerful.

Dai Chengrong's eyes swept across his face, as if a knife blade had passed by in front of him, and he immediately felt a chill rising from his back.

Dai Chengrong heard Dai Yingfan say before that generals who command thousands of troops in the army are often decisive and determined people. The qualifications of such a person are naturally one in a thousand or even one in a thousand, but they still have to pass

After training in large and small wars, and relying on countless lives to accumulate military merits, I can slowly climb to the top position that everyone respects.

The message sent back by Ma Zhengping stated that General Shi was an authentic Haihan native. Dai Chengrong didn't quite understand what this identity meant, but now he could feel the aura of a superior person from Shi Diwen. And this kind of

It was a special feeling that he had never felt among the Ming military attachés he had dealt with before.

Reviewing these more than 100 people will naturally not take too long. Shi Diwen quickly took a look at the personnel selected by Yangzhou for training this time. Just from the perspective of physical fitness, the physical conditions of these salt merchants' children

It is indeed good. As a source of soldiers, it is much better than the immigrant group. It can be seen that the Yangzhou salt merchants have indeed put great effort into selecting personnel.

Of course, Shi Diwen's appearance was just to give reassurance to the Huizhou salt merchants. The energy and time he could use on this team were extremely limited, and the training process must be completed by his subordinates. He is now

He wanted to give a brief speech, and then handed over the salt merchants' children to Duan Tiancheng to take care of them.

Shi Diwen accepted the iron microphone handed over by his subordinates and began his impromptu speech: "I am Shi Diwen, the governor of the Zhoushan Special Colonial Zone of Haihan State. I would like to welcome you all. In order to learn our country's advanced military technology, I

, came all the way from Yangzhou, it’s been a hard journey!”

"Before starting this period of study and life, I hope you can understand one thing, that is, your training opportunity is hard-won, and for many of you, this is an opportunity that can change your life and destiny, no matter what

Whether it’s for your family or your own personal future, I suggest you do your best during training and leave no regrets!”

"What you have to learn here is not only how to use weapons to kill the enemy, but more importantly, how to obey, execute, and think. Why should I put thinking to the end? This is because as a qualified soldier, you

First of all, you must learn to obey orders and resolutely execute them, and then think about why there are such orders and how to execute them more efficiently. I hope that what you have learned here is how to deal with problems, so that even if you encounter them again in the future,

You will also know how to deal with big difficulties."

"This is the instructor who will cause you a lot of trouble in the next three months, Major Duan Tiancheng. He may have killed more people with his own hands than me, so I suggest you not to make him angry, otherwise you will definitely regret it.

!”

At the end of his speech, Shi Diwen introduced Duan Tiancheng to the students in a timely manner, and hinted to everyone that this was a ruthless character with rich practical experience. If they wanted to provoke him, they would be lucky first.

Duan Tiancheng was very grateful to his boss for lowering his status to pave the way for him to shape his character. He took a step forward and saluted Shi Diwen first, and then said to everyone with a dark face: "Remember the purpose of your coming to Zhoushan.

Train with all your strength! Those who can't endure hardship, disobey orders, those who are greedy for life and fear of death, and those who can't meet the training standards, get out! There are no cowards in our Haihan Army!"

Duan Tiancheng had prepared other lectures, but he suddenly realized that talking too much in front of his boss was not good, so he gave up decisively. After finishing a few sentences, he asked Shi Diwen for instructions on the next step.

.

"It's up to you to handle the follow-up matters!" Shi Diwen raised his hand and looked at the time, and told Duan Tiancheng: "Even if you arrange for them to move in, come back to me if you have any problems that can't be solved."

Shi Diwen left in a hurry with the guards, but Duan Tiancheng was very considerate to Ma Zhengping and asked him specifically if he wanted to say a few words. How could Ma Zhengping dare to make such a big deal? This is the territory of the Haihan people, and he is a foreigner.

The businessman should keep a low profile and quickly said that he would cooperate in arranging for the children of these salt merchants to move in.

Then the problem came. Of course, the place the military arranged for these students was in the garrison area, and these salt merchants' children brought a large amount of personal luggage, which far exceeded the accommodation standards. Although Dai Chengrong was a little ashamed, he could only

Report this situation honestly to the newly appointed instructor.

Duan Tiancheng didn't think this problem was difficult to solve, and even announced the standard: "Each person's luggage should not exceed twenty kilograms, and no food should be brought into the camp. Extra items should be dealt with by yourself, and they should be dealt with before noon. If anyone feels comfortable with it,

No, just take advantage of the fact that the ship hasn’t left yet, so you can take the ship back to Yangzhou and enjoy the good times!”

Duan Tiancheng didn't intend to leave any room for bargaining with these guys, so he immediately ordered someone to find a steelyard. If his personal luggage looked controversial, he would use the scale to weigh it.

Ma Zhengping was afraid that there was a thorn in the side of the salt merchants, so he quickly helped Dai Chengrong to put pressure on those who had too much personal luggage, and persuaded them to give up some of their non-essential luggage. These extra items were packed and packed.

, Ma Zhengping will keep it on their behalf, or it can be sent back to Yangzhou first according to their needs.

This arrangement can be considered a very benevolent one. After all, it leaves them with a way out to deal with their excess luggage. Of course, they also have the right to choose not to accept this arrangement, but in that case they will immediately lose their qualifications for training, and Ma Zhengping at this time

On the spot, it was impossible to make up an excuse for the product to be returned after returning to Yangzhou.

In this way, even if some people are unwilling, they can only obey the military's arrangements. However, there are many people who are lucky. When the luggage was weighed, the overweight people found out accounted for almost half of the total number of people, which made Ma Zhengping angry.

One by one, they grabbed their ears and cursed. He was a senior member of the family heads of the seven surnames, so these juniors did not dare to talk back at all. They could only secretly complain in their hearts that the rules set by Duan Tiancheng were too harsh.

Duan Tiancheng watched Dai Chengrong and Ma Zhengping deal with these troubles with cold eyes, but he was already writing down the troubles one by one according to the roster he had mentioned earlier. He also had experience in training new recruits in the army, so he naturally knew how to polish them.

These guys.

The logistics department of the garrison has mobilized ten large vehicles. These carriages are not for pulling people, but for carrying their luggage. Originally, Duan Tiancheng even wanted these newcomers to carry their luggage on foot to the camp, but he was there

After taking a look, I found that these people indeed had too much luggage, and considering their serious lack of organization, if they had to arrange a heavy-loaded march as soon as they arrived, I'm afraid the whole day would have to go through.

The time for this special task was tight, and Duan Tiancheng didn't dare to play too big, so he still dispatched a carriage to carry their luggage for them. As for these people, their legs were not in vain, and they happened to be on the ship for several days.

Oh my god, it's time for them to walk a little longer to stretch their legs.

However, the Zhoushan garrison camp is connected to the port, so even if you walk to the place assigned to these students, it will only be more than two miles away, which is really not far.

After finally clearing up all the luggage, Dai Chengrong organized his team again and followed Duan Tiancheng to the station.

They also saw many Haihan soldiers on the way. Dai Chengrong clearly felt that apart from the military uniforms on their bodies, these people even walked in the same posture and rhythm. Two people walked in a row and three people lined up when walking on the road.

The formations are all very neat. Occasionally, there are soldiers running past shouting slogans, and even the steps are exactly the same.

Looking back at the team of salt merchants' children, although it looks like a queue, it is sparse and uneven, and there is no unified traveling speed at all. Dai Chengrong couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that in just three months, we have to

Is it possible to achieve the military appearance of the Haihan Army? If you can even do the basic movements in life so neatly, then you will definitely be amazed by the heads of the families after you return to Yangzhou.

On the way, we passed by a large school field. Everyone saw that many Haihan soldiers were gathering in formation and training to march in formation. They all found it quite novel. It turned out that the Haihan Army really wanted to train this art of marching in formation.

, no wonder even two or three people walking together can achieve extremely high synchronization rate.

"You don't have to think there's anything strange about this. They practiced it, and you will have to practice it in the future. They know it, and you all have to master it. When fighting as a soldier, these are basic skills. If you can't even practice them well,

If you go to the battlefield, you will die faster than others!"

As Duan Tiancheng walked, he was already teaching Dai Chengrong. He knew that these newcomers would not understand a lot about the content of military training, but for basic projects such as queue training, they must be trained to the point where they understand the instructions.

It requires conditioned reflexes. Otherwise, on the battlefield, the enemy will not give them time to react slowly.

Dai Chengrong didn't find this strange at all. He knew that the Ming army also had to practice formation, which was the basic skill for executing combat orders. However, the training method of the Ming army that he knew seemed to be slightly different from the training method of the Haihan army.

There was a difference. However, he quickly thought that this might be related to the combat method of the Haihan Army. After all, all members of the Haihan Army were equipped with muskets, and their combat methods were definitely very different from the Ming Army, which mainly used cold weapons.

Dai Chengrong was worried that his knowledge was shallow and he did not dare to speak out his true thoughts. But in fact, if he could be more frank, Duan Tiancheng might think more highly of him now.

The barracks prepared for this group of salt merchants' children are brick buildings that were put into use last year. They were previously the barracks of the Shidiwen Guards. Because the supporting facilities are relatively new, nearly twenty rooms were specially set aside for them this time for training.

During the period of residence, this kind of treatment is worthy of the high tuition fees paid by the salt merchants.

"Twelve people will be accommodated in each barracks, and the list will be in the order of the previous roll call. You will be given a stick of incense to prepare. Once you are done, come out and gather at the door. The final room to gather..." Duan Tiancheng paused and announced.

: "After today's training, I will be responsible for cleaning the public areas of this camp. Let's get started!"

After Duan Tiancheng gave the order, everyone did not dare to neglect and took action immediately. They had to move their luggage into the barracks and put it away before going out to gather. Although it seemed that there was plenty of time, considering that the luggage that was transported was

Randomly loaded on a carriage, more than a hundred people have to find their own things and dig them out of the luggage pile to move them away, which is a lot of work.

Of course, the most difficult part is that they have to remember the order of roll call, otherwise they will not know who they should live with.
