Lu Ming

Feeling the familiar atmosphere of the military camp, listening to the slogans and running drills from a distance, Ha Liu's mood improved inexplicably.

Ha Liu himself is a military household of the Ming Dynasty. When he was young, he was also a soldier of the Ming Dynasty in the frontier fortress, and he fought with the Mongols with real knives and guns.

But there has never been a military camp that made him feel blood, friendship and loyalty at the same time as the Flying Tiger Camp.

Along the way, Ha Liu, an old man who had worked for the Flying Tiger Camp when it was established, kept saying hello to the acquaintances he met.Before he arrived at the landing place, he had already agreed to go out for N drinks.

The Special Service Squadron has its own barracks and playground on the outskirts of the Flying Tiger Camp.After Ha Liu and his party returned to their own territory, the deputy squadron leader who stayed behind immediately brought people out after hearing the news.

The reunion of comrades-in-arms is naturally extremely enthusiastic.However, the next moment, the rapid sound of horseshoes interrupted the communication on the scene.

It was the correspondent from the battalion headquarters who came: "Your Excellency summoned you."

In Feihuying, there is only one person who can be called an adult, and that is Zhang Zhongqi, the battalion officer of Feihuying, one of the Big Three in the north of Dayan Kingdom.

After hearing the news, Ha Liu didn't dare to neglect, got on his horse hastily, and followed the correspondent to the battalion headquarters.

Chapter 692 Daily life of the northern trio ([-])

Although Ha Liu rode a fast horse, he didn't dare to gallop in the camp area. He followed the camp rules and followed the commander, leading the horse to trot all the way, and finally arrived in front of the camp department.

The Camp Headquarters of the Flying Tiger Camp completely copied the construction of the barracks in later generations.There are a whole piece of cement hardened ground and walls, and several two-story brick buildings.

Facing the gate, in front of the only three-storey battalion building, there is a flag-raising platform, and the flags flying high on the flagpole are the national flag of Dayan, the military flag and the army flag.

After passing the inspection of the guards in front of the door, Ha Liu dismounted and walked, first went to the third floor of the camp headquarters to line up for registration.After about two incense sticks, Ha Liucai was in the office and saw the Flying Tiger Battalion battalion officer in the uniform of a general, with a gold star on his shoulder, the deputy commander of Daming, and Major General Zhang Zhongqi.

Regarding Major General Zhang and the Flying Tiger Camp, the ranks here are a bit confusing, because there are two systems mixed up: the Kingdom of Great Ming and the Kingdom of Dayan.

In other words, in the Ming Dynasty, the word "battalion" represented two different meanings in tactics and strategy.

First of all, the battalion head of the Ming Dynasty is the most common specific tactical unit.For example, the [-] battalion is the Royal Guard with a rating of [-] cavalry.

The well-known Qi family army started out as a new recruiting battalion with [-] troops.Just because he saw the high quality of Yiwu miners, Qi Jiguang recruited an additional [-] "black households" soldiers in violation of regulations.

Secondly, in Daming, such as Jingying, the three major camps, this category refers to the general.The "battalion" here is not a tactical unit, but a collective term, and the actual responsibility is the group army.

For example, Jingying, which includes a total of more than [-] people, is a general term for tactical units such as the Fifth Army Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the Tenth Regiment Battalion.

If we refer to later generations, the Jingying should theoretically be called the Daming Imperial Capital Army.

It shows that the camp head of the Ming Dynasty is now the Flying Tiger Camp.

Regarding the origin of the Flying Tiger Camp, it was initially built temporarily when Cao Zhongchen went north to Qin Wang.After the Qin Wang incident, the Flying Tiger Camp was disbanded on the face of it, but the elites were actually reorganized.

The shelf of this cavalry battalion, which was called externally at that time, was the logistics office of the garrison established in Tianjin by a loyal minister in the south for the convenience of the future logistics king.

With the passage of time, the traversal forces continued to use their all-round advantages to "squeeze" into the original military and political sites around the Ming Dynasty, and the Flying Tiger Camp in Tianjin also developed by leaps and bounds.

In the future, through step-by-step subtleties, including the cover of traitors in the DPRK, and the military pressure of the northern captives, the court finally acquiesced to the fact of "adding" a camp in Tianjin.The battalion officer of the Flying Tiger Battalion was also promoted from the Qiangong "accumulation" to the deputy commander.

Today, the so-called Flying Tiger Camp, in the eyes of local people familiar with the inside story, has changed from a simple tactical unit to a complete range of arms, representing the southern Cao clan warlords, and is similar to the general strategic name of Beijing Camp and Guanning Army. .

However, in the current military sequence of the Dayan Kingdom, there is no such establishment as the Flying Tiger Battalion.

Outside, it is the Flying Tiger Camp.Inside, in its place, was the Army's [-]rd Division.

In the past few years, the regular army of Dayan State has been able to expand in the face of the actual control territory that has grown exponentially.

However, the regular army formed according to the concept of hot weapons in later generations is undoubtedly a gold-swallowing beast... Forming an army is a gold-swallowing beast, and the training and combat after becoming an army are even more gold-swallowing beasts.Even with the current rapid economic development of the Great Yan Kingdom, the troops can only be added one after another.

Therefore, as of today, aside from the miscellaneous pioneering armies, local armies, "friends and neighbors" warlords and other miscellaneous brands, the regular army of Dayan has only three divisions.

The first division is a strategic reserve team with a total of [-] members.Currently entrenched in Guangdong, the main strategic direction is along the Xijiang River, and is cooperating with the navy to open up the Yunnan-Guangxi channel.

The second division is an empty division with only two-thirds of the staff actually deployed.At present, some of them are stationed in Siam and other places, 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 made several reports based on this, requesting that based on the troops stationed in the two places, it should be expanded into two new divisions on the spot... However, the cabinet has always disagreed.

In charge of the northern military, mainly cavalry, the third division headquartered in Tianjin, also dissatisfied with the staff, is also a half-shelf division.

However, the main force of the third division is gathered together, and division commander Zhang Zhongqi can dispatch more than [-] regular cavalry to carry out combat missions at any time.

Two thousand modern cavalry with advanced rear-loaded carbine and able to discharge wall array charge, in the north of this era, is invincible existence.

Therefore, Your Excellency Zhang Zhongqi, the commander of the third division, is currently taking on the military force of the crossing regime in the north.

……

Ha Liu, who is an old man of the third division, knows very well how much potential energy the force he is serving has.

Just like a tiger crouching in the jungle, it can do everything with a little minion that is occasionally exposed.

And he Ha Liu himself is one of the minions.

Ha Liu, who is used to being a big brother, will face a general with a mild attitude...Master, I really dare not take a breath, and enter the door to salute and say hello.

"Our secret service hero is back, sit down."

Zhang Zhongqi was in a good mood. Seeing that it was Ha Liu, he greeted him and sat opposite him: "I heard that this mission was done well?"

"Reporting to the teacher, in general, there is no major flaw."

Ha Liu knows that this is the debriefing.Then he coughed, sat up straight, and gave a detailed report on this task.

Although he had already learned the general situation from the radio waves, Zhang Zhongqi listened carefully to the comprehensive report of the military chief Ha Liu.

"Well, good, good."

After managing for so long, Zhang Zhongqi, a dick in her previous life, has already learned to win people's hearts.Zhang Zhongqi appreciates the native elites like Ha Liu who are highly adaptable to the new system: "At present, it seems that the follow-up part of the task should be completed, and my personal evaluation of your task this time is excellent. "

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Zhongqi arranged: "The people who come back from your subordinates will hurry up to celebrate the New Year in the past few days, and all the leave that should be approved will be approved."

Seeing that Ha Liu nodded, Zhang Zhongqi said again: "It's you, you have to work harder and can't leave the barracks."

Ha Liuxin understood: "My subordinates know that it is not hard to wait for the telegram in the next year."

"Well, keep and cultivate your own overall concept at all times."

"Subordinates must obey the teachings."

"Haha." After the business was finished, Zhang Zhongqi asked, "Are you a captain now?"

After getting a positive answer, Zhang Zhongqi said: "If the task goes well after the year, I will approve an army training course for you. When you go to our capital, you must study and observe carefully. When you come back after graduation, I will I'll give you a promotion in person."

The Third Division does not currently have the rank of lieutenant colonel.Except for Major General Zhang Zhongqi, the other battalion commanders who led the troops were all majors.

In the Flying Tiger Camp, which is full of tigers and wolves, the rank of major that has not yet been reserved for Ha Liu is very precious.

When Ha Liu heard the words, his mood was agitated, he immediately got up, and involuntarily made the Da Ming worship ceremony that he 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 practiced this etiquette every day, every month, and every year.But because his ancestors were naturalized Mongols, and the Ming army was corrupt, so Ha Liu saluted every day, but was ignored + despised every day.

"My subordinates are grateful for the cultivation of the commander. I am very grateful. In the future, I will be the commander in the saddle and back, and do my best."

"Get up." Zhang Zhongqi sighed: "We treat officers and soldiers as equals. This old habit is not allowed to happen again."

"Also." Zhang Zhongqi stood up to support Ha Liuhou, stared at him with respect and said, "Remember, we are all dedicated to fighting the world for the commander. If you forget this, I'm afraid the road will be lost in the future. narrowed."

"Subordinates dare not, subordinates keep in mind the teachings!"

……

A few days of New Year's Eve passed quickly.During this period, the traversers who have not yet controlled the administrative power of Tianjin City can only accompany the ancients through an old-fashioned year amidst the sound of firecrackers... Just then, Feihuying also dispatched pole-pressed fire trucks for free to help the city extinguish There were several large and small fires.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, as agreed with the Taihang Gang, in the early morning of the same day, an unknown radio wave entered the Flying Tiger Battalion Operation Center, which had raised its alert level.

Half an hour later, shrill whistles and assembly horns sounded from several barracks around the headquarters of Flying Tiger Camp.

In another hour, the two cavalry battalions, with a total of [-], had assembled in the large playground in the south of Tianjin City, and the battalion officer Zhang Zhongqi had already started to mobilize for battle.

Soon after, the rumbling of hooves sounded.A large-scale cavalry team opened in the morning light.

"Hey, I can use Lao Tzu's two battalions for this big show. I hope more people can come back."

Looking at the distant riding shadow on the school platform, Zhang Yingguan sighed to Ha Liu next to him: "The pressure is huge. The Tuwang in the south has already set up a battle for a protracted battle, and he still has Spanish support in his hands. Musket. Fort Pyre is now being fought from morning to night, and the cabinet is red-eyed when they see that they are about to be driven into the sea to feed the fish."

The appointment Major Ha Liu immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, I heard that Nanyang is a land of malaria, and malaria is rampant, so it's not easy to mix!"

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 ashen-faced, dejected and exhausted people, escorted by the gallant cavalry, passed through the city and rushed to the "big house" in the mouth of the aborigines. camp".

Soon, the news spread like lightning: this time, it was the heroes from the Taihang Mountains who were swept away.

The next moment, the Taihang gang members who were strung together by ropes were warmly welcomed by the residents of the big city: ridicule, whistling, rotten vegetable leaves, and saliva from children.

On the night of the same day, Ha Liu, who specially went to visit the prison in Daozzi Camp, met Gu Ming, the head of Taihang, who had an appointment with him at Huahua World in Tianjin.

The big boss with the mark of the horse whip on his face, at this time, he already wanted to understand everything.

Facing the hated eyes of the big boss, Dabing face Ha Liu sincerely put a bottle of medicine into the hand of the boss: "Brother, from now on, we will be ministers in the same temple. This is for preventing miasma, and it is given to you by my brother. Great job!"

Gu Ming couldn't fix it immediately: "?...?"

Chapter 693 The Daily Life of the Northern Trio ([-])

The spring is cold and cold, and the young are killed by the cold.

After the ancient festival, the northern land did not wait for the habitual recovery.The severe cold and capriciousness of the Little Ice Age are still sealing human activities in the northern regions.

But this does not include a certain port city.

In Tianjin, an emerging area where travelers have invested a lot of resources in development, it has initially possessed the characteristics of industrialization.There are more and more chimneys here, and the billowing smoke from them is endless all year round.

Complementing it are the aborigines who have been forcibly changed their life trajectories.More and more industrial workers have joined the wave of industrialization, causing the pulse of the city to be restless and jumping restlessly throughout the year, completely losing the stable rhythm that the ancient agricultural society should have.

Tianjin's industrial zone is mainly located in the east of the old city and south of the Haihe River.Opposite to the noisy industrial zone on the north side of the river, there is another pulse in the Henan area.

There are contiguous barracks, horse farms, school grounds, artillery and firearms training grounds.

It's different from the clutter in the north.Every move in the barracks area has rules.Continuous gunfire, neat slogans and hooves, everything seems to have a rhythm, beating a strong rhythm.

The core of the barracks area is naturally the battalion headquarters...the division headquarters of the third division.

Compared with other areas, the division headquarters, which has a large number of civilian and technical personnel, is somewhat quieter, like a valley in the wind and rain.

Now, in the core area of ​​the valley, in the battalion officer's office on the third floor, a work conversation is taking place.

Probably because the new year has just passed and he is still on vacation.Mr. Zhang Zhongqi, Master Zhang's face is full of messy stubble, his uniform collar is open, his legs are up on the top of the executive desk, he is half lying on the office chair, his hands are clinking and knocking on the lid of the teacup: "Oh, are you okay?" Looking for something."

The thin sunlight outside the window, through the window lattice painted with good paulownia paint, shone on the face of Ha Liu who seemed a little bit wronged: "That's what I said at the time, I didn't think about asking again, I forgot. "

"Hmm, you forgot, but the Intelligence Bureau didn't."

When Zhang Zhongqi said this, he picked up a piece of paper on the table with two fingers and shook it: "Hey, Mr. Ha, look for yourself."

Ha Liu, who was sitting upright on the chair, took a sneak peek at the general's expression, and found no sign of anger, then stretched out his hands and picked up the piece of paper, and glanced quickly: "Hey, so Said, this scholar is still a large and meticulous work, the weight is not light."

"What does weight have to do with you?"

Zhang Zhongqi glanced sideways angrily: "You are a leader of the army, so don't get involved in the specific work of the intelligence department."

"Yes!"

Seeing that the boss was upset, Ha Liu hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Follow the instruction!"

"Alas, there is still a lack of team spirit."

Zhang Zhongqi sighed: "Agents lurking behind enemy lines are always on guard and think carefully about everything. If you are not careful, someone will see your flaws, and you will lose your life."

"Will such a well-trained and excellent person make a fuss over a small matter and temporarily change the plan?"

Ha Liubei nodded with a smile: "It's the subordinate who is being abrupt."

For some reason, at this point, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Zhongqi's somewhat round face: "If you want to convince the public, you must be open-minded, and you can be a big brother if you can accommodate brothers."

Seeing her only audience nodding repeatedly, Zhang Zhongqi first raised her head to recall something.However, his mood quickly returned to normal.

Putting his legs back and getting up, he lifted the lid of the cup and took a sip of tea. Then Master Zhang said seriously: "We must be aware of the overall situation and trust our comrades. We are better than Daming. In the final analysis, it is the organization and coordination. All departments are not only now, In the future, only by working closely together can we help the commander-in-chief achieve great things as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhang felt that the heat was almost ready, and finally stared at Ha Liu's eyes and told him: "You old Flying Tigers stand out, you have to have seniority and merit, and you have to make contributions. The future is limitless. There will be Opportunity to conquer the north and south, and leave a name in history."

"The more this is the case, the more you have to raise your own requirements so as not to fall behind."

Ha Liu was submissive, nodding repeatedly in agreement.

"Okay, what I said, I will experience it myself when I go back." At this point, today's round of work talk is over.Standing up and patting Ha Liu, who has become much more honest, on the shoulder, Mr. Zhang is obviously very excited today: "Now, call a few more people, and follow me to the pier to pick up the distinguished guests."

Not long after, the sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded.Master Zhang led a group of confidantes who had been summoned, took the lead, left the gate of the camp, and went straight to the direction of Haihe.

Halfway through, when passing by the headquarters of Tianjin Railway Station, there were already more than a dozen people waiting at the gate on horseback.

This team was led by none other than Cao Dashuai's business agent on the surface, and Yao Jianshe, the station manager of Tianjin Station behind his back.
