Chapter 34 Gan Hui, Hong Xu, Medal
But this did not prevent Chen Yourong from leading the fleet to conduct battle line technical and tactical training. The possible outbreak of war did not make him afraid of the Red Maowa.
Taking advantage of the numerical advantages of ships and troops, Chen Yourong already had plans to fight against Hongmaoyi.
Although there was no title of "wolf pack" tactic at that time, actual battle examples were not uncommon.
Especially the fire ship tactics, which are ancestral skills, but not as pitiful as Western barbarians. I used them in the Ming Dynasty for dozens or hundreds, and the scene is spectacular!
In addition to suggesting battle lines, the emperor also mentioned the Naval Academy.
Chen Yourong is also gradually implementing it. Although he does not agree completely, some ideas can be implemented and are beneficial.
Now, Chen Yourong has just led the fleet to return from cruise and has been engaged in training for recruiting new sailors.
In front of me is a boundless blue sea. Looking into the distance, the light blue clouds and the sea water are connected together, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a cloud or a sea.
The rising and retreating tide surged on the fine sand on the shore, and climbed up to Gan Hui's feet affectionately.
The whistle rang, and Gan Hui and the new recruits rushed to the sea, splashing countless waters in the sea.
Swimming is naturally the basic training of sailors, and land ducks are not unable to join the army, but you have to practice the white strips in the waves and are quite qualified.
Gan Hui has a very good water nature because he lives in Haicheng County and grew up by the sea since he was a child. His parents died early. Although they were poor, they value loyalty and wanted to stand up for justice.
Because of this temper, he was disgusted and persecuted by the patriarch, and was forced to wander in Zhangzhou, Shima and other places, and dared not return to his hometown to live.
Later, Gan Hui got on the boat and worked as a sailor. After working for a year or two with the maritime merchants, he was unwilling to waste his time like this, so he joined the army and became a new recruit of the East China Sea Navy.
A recruit from behind coughed, because he was not good at swimming and drank bitter and salty sea water.
Gan Hui didn't care about that, jumped over the deep water and swam forward hard. Out of the corner of his eyes, a bronze figure was shaking the waves, as if it was the difference between his speed.
It was this guy again, Gan Hui gritted his teeth, accelerated the frequency of paddling, and swam towards the floating row ahead.
A little bitter sea water entered his mouth, but Gan Hui didn't care. His eyes were only staring at the red color on the floating row, his target.
Private, this is the first goal that Gan Hui wants to achieve. Then there are the top corporals, corporals, sergeants, and sergeants...
Gan Hui knew very well that in the army, he had to climb up step by step to realize his dream of making a name for himself and returning to his hometown.
The shouts of cheers sounded in my ears, which made Gan Hui even more excited. He took the lead in the attention of everyone, and that feeling was really...
Wow, wow, the two figures reached out and put their hands on the floating row almost without distinction, pressing the edge of the floating row to sink into the sea water.
Before he could take a look at this old opponent, Gan Hui stepped on the water, and used force to turn over and climbed up.
The two figures quickly stood up on the floating row and ran forward, floating and shaking floating rows under their feet, as if they were no different from the plain.
Almost at the same time, two big hands reached out and held the red flagpole that symbolized the championship.
"My-" Gan Hui couldn't help but scream and fought hard.
Hehe, the laughter from the opponent seemed very tender, but the power was very strong, and Gan Hui was actually pulled by him and his feet were unstable.
Oh, Gan Hui gritted his teeth and looked up, and when he met a young face, he was nervous and stared hard.
Neither of them was willing to show weakness, and they held the little red flag and tangled together on the floating row.
Haha, Chen Yourong looked at it carefully on the boat and smiled when he stroked his beard.
Young people should have such a competitive spirit. Both boys are good, and he is ready to set an example for other recruits.
Bang, bang, bang! The gong sounded three times, announcing the end of today's selection.
Although Gan Hui and the young man stopped fighting, they refused to put down the little red flag in their hands. Look at me, and I see you, and you are not willing to be outdone.
"Sir, let you come." The flat-bottomed sand boat approached the floating row, and some soldiers shouted loudly.
Both young men held the red flag in one hand, as if holding hands, stared at each other and walked past the floating row, came to the side of the boat, and jumped onto the sand boat awkwardly.
The personal soldiers stepped forward to collect the red flag, and then they liberated the two of them. The two stepped forward to salute, saying, "I have seen the adults."
Chen Yourong looked up and down, with a smile on his face and full of admiration, and asked, "Let me report my name and origin."
"Little..." The two of them spoke in unison, feeling awkward, and looked at each other.
Chen Yourong stretched out his hand and said, "You report it first."
"Little Gan Hui, Hai Cheng's people, this year's eighteen."
"The little Hong Xu, a person from Tong'an, is seventeen this year."
Chen Yourong smiled and said, "I am very pleased to see that you two are very beautiful and have the intention of being ambitious and competing for victory."
His face turned serious, and Chen Yourong said, "Gan Hui, Hong Xu, has been promoted to the top rank of the top rank. I hope you and others will continue to work hard and live up to the expectations of our officials."
Gan Hui and Hong Xu both bowed and bowed and shouted: "Thank you for your promotion."
Chen Yourong ordered in a deep voice: "You two will go out to the sea with the officers tomorrow, and there must be no mistakes."
"Little one obeys the order." The two bowed and accepted the order again, and their voices were even louder.
……………………………………………………………………
A sense of honor is a key factor in improving the morale of the army, enhancing combat effectiveness, and inspiring the fighting spirit.
For honor, passionate soldiers can fight to the death; for honor, they will also be brave enough to sacrifice themselves and sacrifice their lives for the country.
Napoleon once said: As long as there are enough medals, I can conquer the world.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, the truth is correct.
Soldiers have military ranks, which is a manifestation of their ability and a symbol of honor. Not only that, Zhu Youxiao also made a batch of medals to award them to officers and soldiers who have made contributions in combat.
The first batch of officers and soldiers from Liaozhen, Dengzhen, Jinzhen and Dongjiang Town that won the battle in Liaodong.
There are two types of medals, one is the medal of loyalty and courage given to officers, and the other is the medal of fearlessness given to soldiers.
The two types of medals are made of silver and bronze, with exquisite style and workmanship. The "loyalty and courage" and "fairness" engraved behind the medals are written by the emperor.
The scene of awarding medals and rewarding silver is very formal and solemn. This is a gift from the emperor and cannot be measured by money.
If you get such a medal, you can hang it on your chest every day, and you must keep it in a precious place, and leave it to your descendants to worship it, and shine the treasures that can shine on your family.
Feng Datie's chest was high, the scars on his face had not healed yet, and one arm was still hanging, but the medal shining on his chest immediately made him a dazzling existence.
How many envious and admirable eyes were betting on Feng Datie, which made him feel that he was a hero and fearless. This was what the Emperor said, engraved on the medal.
Compared with this medal, those white silver immediately devalued the value.
Zhang Pan also had a medal hanging on his chest, which was the "Loyalty and Brave" medal issued by the Mao Island Master himself by the military congress of his visit to the Peak Island.
In the battle of Lushun, the Zuo Xie, as the main force, won the face of the Dongjiang Army. Although it was a joint battle, it was not a military town after all, and no one wanted to show shame in front of friendly troops.
"The army takes collective combat as a result. If it is without robes and fights against the enemy side by side, no matter how brave you are, it will be difficult to stop the enemy. However, our left assistant does not bury the warriors who are brave and brave."
After Zhang Pan awarded the medal, he stood on the high platform and announced loudly, "Our left-leaning association was brave and tenacious in the Battle of Lushun, and there were also outstanding warriors who were injured and killed several enemies in a row. After discussion, each soldier was rewarded with ten taels of silver, and more than a hundred warriors were rewarded with fifty taels."
As a coax, an irrepressible noise broke out in the military queue.
Although there are strict regulations in the new military law that the enemy's heads are not allowed to be harvested on the battlefield, the reward for killing the enemy has not been finalized.
Now I finally understand that as long as you win a battle and you are not a coward, you will have a reward of silver. If you act more bravely, you will have a reward.
Zhang Xiaoxi wanted to stretch her strength, but she couldn't help but smile and laughed so happily.
Ten taels of silver, how many months of military pay! I can buy a lot of food and make my family feel full and well-dressed!
After a secret glance at Feng Datie, who had been promoted to the position of chief, Zhang Xiaoxi secretly envied. Fifty taels of silver are enough to buy a house and marry a wife, and there is still a lot left!
Next time, next time I fight, I won’t be timid. I also have to reward fifty taels of silver, and I also have to be promoted and led troops.
Zhang Xiaoxi felt that the first time he went to the battlefield, he was already very powerful without running away or being scared to pee. Of course, it was still much worse than Feng Datie and other warriors.
I don’t know when the war will take place again, but Zhang Xiaoxiyou was afraid and worried, but now he has some expectations.
From ancient times to the present, there have been almost two ways of promotion in the army. One is to spend time and accumulate qualifications, and the other is to gain military merits in the war.
In comparison, the speed of promotion with military merit is the fastest and relatively fair. After all, if you kill the enemy bravely, the officers also need to win over some people who can fight.
Moreover, in wars, it is usually an opportunity for officers and soldiers to make money. For example, in the early Tang Dynasty, the army had the characteristics and customs of "when they hear wars."
Zhu Youxiao was very envious and wanted to turn the Ming army into that. When he heard that he was going to fight, he screamed excitedly. That was the army of tigers and wolves, and he could be invincible!
Now I can only say that there are some small signs, because there are already many people who think like Zhang Xiaoxi.
Zhang Pan retreated aside and watched the pay surveillance officer give the officers and soldiers a happy heart.
As long as you are still the leader of the association, that's all. Can you be better than the three of them?
But Zhang Pan didn't care at all, because his left association was full again.
Although the recruits still need to train for one or two months, their weapons and equipment have been strengthened. If they are pulled out, he is confident that he can resist tens of thousands of Jiannu and defend Lushun Fort with his own left and right.
Well, the troops were well trained and had enough ammunition and medicine, so it was almost time for Jiannu to launch an attack in winter.
At that time... Zhang Pan looked north and narrowed his eyes.
Chapter completed!
