Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 429 The Most Glorious Internship Opportunity

European diplomats rushed to see Ming officials from the Ministry of Rites and other ministries, seeking to master more effective information to maximize the benefits of their countries.

The members of the Xuanwei Division, who are already part of the Ming Dynasty, and even the "mass" of ethnic minorities also have different ideas about this Ming Dynasty's round-the-world voyage.

Galdan, who was studying at Daming National Defense University, put down the newspaper in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, feeling a little excited.The classmates beside him were discussing about the Ming Dynasty's voyage around the world, but Galdan paid attention to an inconspicuous report in a corner of the newspaper.

"Northwest Legion drinking horses in Balkhash Pond, the Kazakh Khanate has been destroyed by the remnants of the Qing Dynasty"

Galdan sighed, feeling very complicated about the current situation.

At the beginning, he was assigned by his brother to go to Shuntian to ask for help, but he never imagined that this farewell would be followed by an eternal farewell.Most of his brothers and relatives have died in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, and the once powerful Junggar tribe has also disappeared.The surviving population of the entire desert Mongolia was less than one-tenth, and most of the Junggar tribesmen were killed or kidnapped by Feiyanggu.

Galdan cried blood and expressed to the Ming Dynasty many times that he hoped to let the Ming Dynasty pacify the Qing Dynasty and restore the old power of the Junggar tribe. However, the Ming Dynasty ignored his request at all. In the end, when Fei Yanggu led the New Eight Banners to leave the Mongolian Mongolia , Su Shuhuan led the Northwest Army to take over the whole, and the Ming Dynasty Council announced the establishment of Moxi Province in the Junggar Basin north of the Tianshan Mountains, and the establishment of the Western Regions Province in the Tarim Basin between the Tianshan Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains.The Oirat Alliance and the Yarkand Khanate that originally lived in these two areas have all been wiped out by Feiyanggu, and the Ming Dynasty became the logical one to take over these areas.

Galdan finally understood what Da Ming meant. I'm afraid Fei Yanggu didn't mean to kill people in these places alone, but Da Ming also had the same opinion, but it was Da Ming who raised the knife.

After the provincial establishment of Moxi Province, Urumqi Prefecture was established, and the Ming Dynasty moved the garrison regiment there, and carried out reclamation and grazing in these places, realizing actual control.

At that time, Galdan could be said to have lost all hope. The Han Dynasty, which was far away from him, did not use the policy of restraint or Huairou, but used the real direct control.The alliance between Junggar and Oirat has come to an end.

At that time, an officer of the Ming Army said to him: "Now you have two choices, one is to identify yourself as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty and enjoy all the convenience and glory this empire brings to you; the other is to be a subjugated person. , mediocre and lamenting all my life, and finally turned into a piece of dust. This is the best era, if you think you are really capable, then Daming will provide you with a stage, and maybe you will leave yourself in history name."

Galdan finally chose to enter the National Defense University and joined the Ming army. He hesitated and was full of various complicated thoughts, but he knew that no matter what, he wanted to understand the country of Daming and learn her best military skills.

However, after staying in the National Defense University for a long time, Galdan's despair did not even exist.He couldn't imagine that things like the Junggar tribe and even the alliance of various tribes in Mongolia would have any chance in the face of a terrifying monster like Ming Dynasty.This is a powerful country that he had never imagined before. It can easily crush Junggar, and even Junggar is not enough to give her teeth.

At this time, a young student asked Galdan: "Galdan, how are you doing? Are you going to apply for the opportunity to be an apprentice in the circumnavigation fleet?"

In the National Defense University, most of the trainees are selected from the army for intensive training and study, and then sent back to the army as trainee officers. Military rank officer.There are also some students who are directly admitted to the military academy, and most of these people are members of the family who served as relatively high-ranking officers in the Ming Army.

The young student's name was Ding Quan, and his father was a major in the Ming Army. He said he was neither high nor low.The Ding family was born in the military household of the Ming Dynasty, and Ding's father also defected to the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty during the Ming and Qing wars, but luckily later, he accepted the transformation and became an officer of the glorious Ming Army.Father Ding, who has been in the army for almost generations, told his son Ding Quan to enter the military academy, hoping to have the best background.

In the National Defense University, many students don't think much of Galdan. Although he is a Mongolian prince, he has perished after all.Ding Quan would not look down on Galdan, he had a Mongolian companion in his family since he was a child, and Ding Quan could speak some Mongolian.It's just that Galdan is relatively independent, and he is not enthusiastic about Ding Quan.

Speaking of which, Galdan also felt that the Ming Army deliberately targeted him. He came to the National Defense University to learn the mysteries of the Ming military, to learn the tactics of the Great Army, to learn strategy, to learn equipment, but in the end the National Defense University assigned him to the Navy.Galdan thought it was Daming doing this to him on purpose, but Galdan still studied hard and learned a lot about the Marine Corps, which is considered a ground force after all.

Galdan remained indifferent to Ding Quan, and said: "To participate in the global voyage, many people probably have to sign up. In my position, I am afraid it will be impossible."

Ding Quan frowned. This man is the second-generation son of the army with a very kind heart, and he is very accepting of the new school, and his thoughts are also trendy.So Ding Quan said: "Look at your outdated concept. Galdan, as you are now a member of the Ming Navy, you should know how to be loyal to the country. We in the Ming Dynasty do not do anything first-class or second-class. As long as you are a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, no matter where you come from. , You can achieve something with only your ability and heart.”

Galdan glanced mockingly at Ding Quan, whom he thought was too idealistic, and said, "If you want to, you can sign up for me and see if you can choose me."

Ding Quan is also very good, he said: "Try it, try it, you really don't believe in evil."

In Galdan's mind, the qualification of sailing around the world, not to mention their group of young trainee officers, even the veteran officers will think it is an extremely honorable qualification, and they will beat their heads to grab it. There is nothing wrong with him. The Mongols in the background, or even the people being guarded against, such a good thing must not be his turn.

Ding Quan filled out the application form for Galdan, dragged the guy to sign it, and personally sent the application form to the school.

To Galdan's surprise, the National Defense University selected a total of 23 trainee officers to intern in the circumnavigation fleet, including the names of Ding Quan and Galdan.
