Chapter 2877

In June 1656, Bai Kesi received a telegram from the Executive Committee in Gaizhou urging him to return to the south. He was preparing to end his inspection trip to Liaodong and return to the south by ship. At the same time, at Jinlan Port in the South China Sea, thousands of miles away from Gaizhou,

A group of people are waiting for the arrival of an important person on the pier.

There was a sunshade on the pier, and there were at least twenty people under the shed, all of them Haihan officers in military uniforms. However, there were so many people, but only one chair was placed.

The man sitting on the chair looks short, but he is extremely strong, with a body like a stone pillar. This man has a lion's nose and a wide mouth, and his temples are already gray. Anyone who can stay in the army to this age will

Usually the position is not low. The shoulder straps on his military uniform also prove this. The dark green base is decorated with golden branches and leaves and a golden star, indicating that this person is an Army Major General.

According to Haihan's military system, a major general usually serves as a division commander or a position of the same level. He has at least thousands of soldiers and horses under his command and has jurisdiction over several states. His status is very respected. If he is a naturalized soldier, that is even more important.

You need to accumulate a lot of military exploits to have a chance to be promoted to this level.

At this time, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was leaning on the back of the chair, with his hands on the armrests, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed, and he seemed to be feeling the gentle breeze of the sea.

"General, the ship will sail into Cam Ranh Bay soon." A soldier ran over and reported the latest situation to him. At a height a few miles south of the pier, there are lighthouses and garrison lookout posts that can monitor the waters outside Cam Ranh Bay.

Sea movements within a radius of dozens of miles can be notified to the port in Cam Ranh Bay simply by sending a signal.

The general opened his eyes and stood up, straightened his clothes a little, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Then let's go out and wait!"

Today's weather is as hot as ever. It was already too hot when we stayed under the sunshade. Now we go outside and it gets even hotter.

The general pulled up his rolled-up sleeves a bit more, exposing most of his arms. The dense scars on both arms were shocking. It showed that this man had experienced many battles in the past. To be able to achieve the status he has today is a real deal.

In exchange for military exploits.

Cam Ranh Bay is a huge area, and it takes at least half an hour for a ship to dock at the dock from entering the bay. However, this general obviously attaches great importance to the upcoming sea visitors. He would rather brave the scorching sun and take his subordinates to the dock long in advance.

Wait in line.

No one of the officers present questioned this arrangement, as if they had long been accustomed to it. A group of officers stood in line behind the general. Although they were sweating from the heat, they felt uneasy when they saw the motionless figure in front of them.

All thoughts of separation were suppressed.

Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, I saw two sailboats slowly approaching the sea in the distance. Although it was still far away from the dock where they were, the general had quietly straightened his body and was ready to accept the guests.

review.

When the two sailboats docked at the berth and set up the gangway, the military uniforms of everyone on the dock were soaked with sweat. But the general kept staring at the side of the ship. As soon as he saw the familiar figure appearing on the gangway, he immediately raised his head

He gave a military salute with his hands. The other party was also in military uniform. He stood for a moment at the entrance of the gangway, returned a military salute to everyone on the dock, and then slowly got off the ship.

Judging from the appearance, the visitor and the general on the dock should be about the same age, but the attitude of the man on the dock was very respectful. He dared to step forward with three steps at a time and said "Thank you" to the visitor.

"Thank you for your hard work!" The visitor stretched out his hand and patted his generous shoulder: "Minister Yan and General Feng are on the boat behind. You also go to say hello. We will talk about other things when we get back."

"I humbly obey my orders." The general responded without hesitation, just as he had done for the past twenty years.

The general waiting on the dock moved his headquarters to Gaoqiao Nan in Cam Ranh Port just a few months ago. And the person he greeted was naturally his old boss Qian Tiandun.

Two years ago, Haihan signed an armistice agreement with the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. As a victorious country, Haihan obtained a large territory and many privileges in the north. By then, Wang Tom had already left for North America, and Qian Tiandun had also completed

After meeting the request of the Executive Committee, we were finally able to lead our troops to leave the Liaodong area where the situation had become peaceful.

As one of the oldest generals in the Haihan Army with the most outstanding military exploits, as long as Qian Tiandun is willing, he can return to Sanya, and then naturally join the Executive Committee and become one of the few people who truly hold the power of the empire.

.If he wanted to stay in the northern region where he had lived and fought for twenty years, the Executive Committee also allowed him to choose one of Liaodong and Shandong to serve as a local official.

But the blood of fighting flows in Qian Tiandun's veins. He does not want to stay somewhere as a local magistrate for the rest of his life, nor does he want to join the executive committee and be entangled in various affairs every day. What he wants to do is to find a

The local government continues to lead troops to fight and expand territory, so that the elite troops it has spent countless efforts to cultivate over the years can have new uses.

Qian Tiandun knew that the Executive Committee had no intention to send troops to the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty for the time being, and the only direction where his troops could be used was the South China Sea. So he made a request to the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense.

Change defense to the South China Sea area.

Judging from the actual situation of his troops, this is actually not the most suitable destination. Although this unit was originally established in the South China Sea, and most of the troops were from the south, over twenty years later, most of the troops

The source of troops has been replaced by northerners. Since they are stationed in Liaodong all year round, the troops will definitely have difficulty adapting to the hot and humid climate in the south.

Such a personnel structure even directly affected the deployment arrangements of the troops. A large number of officers and soldiers from the north did not want to leave the north, and even jointly petitioned Qian Tiandun, hoping that he could change his mind.

Qian Tiandun was also reasonable. He knew that after this deployment, he might not return to the north for many years, so he let the officers and soldiers of the special operations force decide whether to stay or stay on their own. Those who wanted to stay in the north could choose to retire on the spot.

Either the Fifth Lu Division, which was transferred to the Northern Fleet and stationed in Dengzhou, Shandong, or the Sixth Lu Division, which was only formally established in Liaodong after the war.

As a result, a large number of officers and soldiers in the special operations force finally chose to stay in the north. Sun Zhen, the commander of the Sixth Lu Division, was transferred to his post during this period. Chen Yixin knew that these people were almost all elites in the army, so he and Qian Tiandun

They have a close relationship and are happy to accept these people.

However, there are still quite a few officers and soldiers who chose to follow Qian Tiandun. Some of them, like Gao Qiaonan, have always been loyal to Qian Tiandun personally and will continue to follow him no matter what happens; some of them know Qian Tiandun.

The reason why Tian Dun applied to be transferred to Nanhai is that as long as he follows him, he will not be afraid of not having any military exploits. The speed of promotion in the war zone will definitely be far faster than that in the Taiping realm. Considering his personal future, it is worth fighting for it.
