Chapter 152 The rear (1)

July 11, 1644, sunny.

The breeze suddenly rose outside the sea and the vast smoke made Pei Qin, a man in Gansu, tremble. It has been more than ten years since he rebelled. He followed "Cao Cao" (Luo Rucai) to fight all over the country, but when did he see such a vast sea? It was only when he arrived here that he knew that there was a sky beyond the sky; it was only after he saw the people on the east coast that he knew that there were people outside the sky.

"Grandma, this group of people from Yucheng are really hard to serve, it's a rebellious voice." A slightly irritable voice came from behind. Pei Qin turned around and saw that it was his old partner Gao Cuihuan.

Pei Qin and Gao Cuihuan were both civil and military officials in Xiajin County, Gaotang Prefecture, Dongchang Prefecture, formerly appointed by Dashun. In May, the gentry in the city raised troops to rebel, surrounded the official office, and wanted to capture and kill the "pseudo-Shun officials". At this critical moment, Gao Cuihuan, who heard the news, immediately put on his armor and "entered the office with weapons". He and Pei Qin, who were "skilled in riding and shooting" in history, took a few followers and fled out with a few followers. The rebellious landlords in the city took their power, but they did not dare to intercept them and let them leave.

Mo Ming, a militarist at heart, admired the warriors who put life and death aside in critical moments. After obtaining the consent of the two, they immediately appointed them as officers of the newly formed 1st brigade of the 1st brigade of the stand-up team, including Pei Qin as deputy captain and Gao Cuihuan as captain of the 5th brigade.

The newly formed 1st Brigade of the Standing Team was under the 3rd to 10th squadrons, with a total of about 2,000 people. Their source of troops was composed of nearly 600 people in the original 3rd and 4th squadrons; 300 cavalrymen from Li Zhengang's newly surrendered; about 500 soldiers from the Dashun local officials stationed in succession, and more than 100 soldiers surrendered in the Ming Dynasty; 200 Dashun officers and soldiers who recovered from injury and recovered from illness; the newly recruited former military husband team had more than 300 Ming and Korean soldiers.

Mo Ming ordered all these soldiers to be dispersed and then reorganized into eight squadrons, for the 3rd-10th Squadron (the 1st Squadron is stationed in Tacheng and the 2nd Squadron is stationed in Gushan). These 8 squadrons formed the 1st Battalion. The captain was temporarily appointed by the combat staff Sergeant Juniol. For this reason, Mo Ming also promoted him to the temporary lieutenant in order to manage the troops. The temporary lieutenant Juniol will lead this unit until the official officers selected from the local area arrive, and then return to his combat staff position.

At present, this army is being scattered in the Sakhalin area for training. Due to the complexity of the source of the soldiers, there are Sakhalin natives, Japanese samurai, Shun army officers and soldiers, and the newly recruited Ming and Korean soldiers. Not only are their level and skills uneven, but their language communication is also very hindered, so it is necessary to conduct training in a concentrated manner. In addition, the East Coast people dispersed them and reorganized them, so almost all squadrons do not recognize soldiers and soldiers. If such troops are able to have combat effectiveness, they will be devilish!

Dabo Port is a key area recently developed by the East Coast people. A large number of Ming refugees (about 8,500 people) were moved here to burn wasteland and farm, log wood to build houses, build wharfs, cities, and forts. In short, they were very busy. With so many people here, it was naturally impossible for the East Coast people to not send troops to guard them. Therefore, Dabo Port became the garrison of the third, 4 and 5th squadrons of the 1st squadrons of the 1st squadrons of the three squadrons of the 1st squadrons. 750 officers and soldiers of these three squadrons were pulled here a few days ago. The East Coast people asked everyone to get their hair, take a bath, and then change to their military uniforms.

It’s nothing to take a bath, but some people are unwilling to take care of the “short hair” of the East Coast people. People on the East Coast don’t force it. Those who don’t want to get a haircut can withdraw from their military posts to be ordinary people (the people have suspended forced haircuts, and those who voluntarily have rewards for those who have cut their hair). Most of these people are desperate to join the East Coast people. Whether to take a haircut or not is not a big deal for them, so only a few dozen people were cleared out of the three squadrons. After dozens of people were recruited from the local people to supplement the vacancies, 750 officers and soldiers from the three squadrons changed into new military uniforms of yellow khaki cloth, and then started normal training near Dabo Port.

The trained instructors were mainly composed of some non-commissioned officers from the 102 and 104th companies of the Army, and a small number were drawn from the Eight Banners Warriors. However, it was very difficult to transform a group of medieval troops into modern troops. Mo Ming did not expect them to reach this level. In short, they could do whatever they could be trained. As long as they could fight with the Green Camp troops of the Qing court, there was no need to make many other requirements. These soldiers took turns training during the day and studied language and politics at night. Of course, they had to undertake the defense tasks here, but local public security was the newly established Dabo Police Station. The director of the Dabo Police Station was also held by Bogdan, but he usually stayed in Heishui Port on weekdays. The Dabo Police Station was deputy director with a confidant from his dispatch, and actually presided over the work of the police station.

When Pei Qin heard Gao Cuihuan's complaint, he laughed and expressed his understanding. In fact, he was also very troubled by these people recently. The cause of the incident was the more than 11,000 so-called "refugees" that Guo Sheng sent to the people of the East Coast. These people were actually not refugees, but were the people of Yucheng and Shanghe counties in Jinan Prefecture. Previously, the officials and gentry of the two counties had driven the officials appointed by Dashun. Guo Sheng was furious and broke the cities of the two counties, selected 14,500 strong people, and then drove them to the Binzhou Seashore. About 3,000 people were scattered along the way, and more than 11,000 were left when they arrived at the beach of Laizhou Bay.

As mentioned earlier, these people could barely survive when they were in their hometown, so they naturally did not want to leave their hometown. In addition, some of the gentry and literary people who were also captured were incited and incited, and these people were quite terrified. Pei Qin and the others, who were responsible for guarding the place, saw that the situation was a little bad, so they made a quick decision and sent all the gentry and literary people mixed in to the Heishui Coal Mine to dig coal. After mobilizing the fully armed troops, they finally temporarily shocked the "refugees" who were ready to move. Then he asked his superiors to allocate more food, fish and other supplies to increase the food supply for everyone, and the matter slowly subsided.

There are about 8,500 refugees here, from Yucheng and Shanghe counties, only 5,000 people, and most of the remaining 3,000 people are refugees from Denglai Prefectures. These real refugees from Denglai Prefectures are still grateful to the East Coast people. After all, it was the East Coast people who brought them and their families back from the brink of death. They were also the first immigration to get short hair and respond to the East Coast people's policies. Now, seeing these new guys doing this, I immediately became annoyed. I often talk to these people on weekdays.

Retorted, and later, fighting evolved, annoying the police station responsible for public security. It was not until the scale of the fight became larger and larger, and the largest time even developed to hundreds of people fighting each other, and all work was seriously affected. Therefore, the local garrison also joined the ranks of suppression. They sent all dozens of people who were the first to provoke to Heishui Coal Mine, which calmed the situation. But even so, the verbal insults between the two sides still occurred from time to time, which upset everyone.

"How is the army training?" Pei Qin asked. The three squadrons are here for collective training and will conduct a competition every month. The squadron ranked last will be responsible for cleaning the toilets in the camp, keeping watch on duty, chopping firewood, washing and cooking. In short, they are very frustrated, so everyone's enthusiasm for training is quite high. After all, they don't want to be the last one.

"A ball of paste." Gao Cuihuan sat on the ground depressedly and said, "In the past, the children under our command were all broken and separated and left. Now, I have stuffed a bunch of people on hand. No one can understand what I said for a long time. It's so annoying! Especially those more than a dozen Koreans, who were so stupid that they couldn't do a good job of a spear-thorning action for a long time. I really hanged them with a rope, what's the use of asking them to live!"

Pei Qin sighed. The general Mo obviously believed in him. Most of the new Dashun officers and soldiers who came to serve were broken up and mixed with some sand in. Not only that, every time they paid military pay, they would send some staff officers to everyone according to the list. They also repeatedly asked the soldiers whether they were maliciously bullied by the officers, whether there were practical difficulties to be solved, etc. In addition, the continuous ideological and political studies every day (mainly black materials for the nobles of the Qing Dynasty and the gentry of the Ming court), Pei Qin also felt that if this continued, this army would sooner or later be separated from Dashun and the Ming Dynasty, and thus became a force firmly controlled by the East Coast people.

But to be honest, Pei Qin was also very interested in the political studies conducted by the people of the East Coast. When he first participated, he even felt deafening. When he rebelled before, he just vaguely felt that the world was wrong, there were too many corrupt officials, and there were more local tyrants and evil gentry. They garrisoned the grain and did not give the people a way to live, so they had to defeat them. However, he was not very clear about why the people had no food to eat, why the taxes became heavier day by day, how the gentry passed on their obligations to the people, why the court could not pay for the disaster relief, etc. After studying these days, he gradually had a rough impression in his mind, and only then did he realize that the world of the Ming Dynasty was really bad, and it had reached the point where he had to break the reconstruction.
