"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 621
Zhoushan Prefecture, Youlong Village.
The desolate small fishing village is crowded with people and noisy, and a steady stream of money, food and materials are being transported here.
Chen Ziang wanted to form a navy fleet to deal with the Southern Army's navy fleet, he wasn't just talking.
Chen Ziang's execution ability has always been very strong. After confirming that Hong Bo was appointed as the commander of the 19th Banner of the Sailor, he immediately returned to Yunxi Mansion to hold a military meeting, and decided to concentrate his efforts on forming the 19th Banner of the Sailor.
Now Chen Ziang has realized the importance of the navy fleet, because if he cannot control Dongjiang, his plan will be in vain.
At that time, even if they seized the Jiangnan province, their money and food would not be able to be transported to the Jiangbei province across the Dongjiang River.
In order to form the Nineteenth Banner Regiment of the Sailors as soon as possible, Chen Zi'ang asked the Military Affairs Office of the Second Army to make full preparations for the formation.
The Military Affairs Office of the Legion naturally did not dare to neglect Chen Ziang's orders. They held a meeting overnight to discuss the details of the formation.
At dawn the next day, the Military Affairs Department drew up an order for the selection of sailors and asked Chen Ziang to sign it.
Soon, the recruitment of water-based officers and soldiers within the Second Army, and the recruitment of sailors in villages and towns along the Dongjiang River began in full swing.
At the same time, the Military Supplies Department under the Military Affairs Department also transported tents, military pay, weapons and other supplies to Youlong Village selected by Hong Bo.
The Youlong Village where Hong Bo, the head of the 19th Banner of the Sailors lives, is close to the Dongjiang River and has a relatively deep draft.
More than 20 ships and 300 water bandits led by Xiang Kun have officially joined the 19th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army Sailors.
In Youlong Village, a red and black military flag was flying on the roof of a farmyard, and the 19th Banner Regiment of the Sailors was displayed vertically on the military flag.
"Zhoushan Prefecture has raised 225 fishing boats for us from various sources."
"The first batch of 3,200 sailors recruited from fishermen has arrived in Youlong Village one after another, waiting for training."
In the slightly dim house, more than a dozen officers in black uniforms of the Qinghe Army were sitting scattered in the house, reporting the situation to the head of the banner, Hong Bo.
In just one week, Hong Bo has completed his role change.
He transformed from a dismissed general who drank his sorrows to the head of the Qinghe army's sailor banner.
Although there was an element of being threatened by Chen Ziang, he could only hide it in his heart when facing these officers under his command, because he wanted to save face.
Hong Bo now likes the feeling of being in power again, which makes him seem to be rejuvenated.
People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Although he is in his fifties, after wearing the uniform of the Qinghe Army's banner commander, his whole body's temperament has changed suddenly, exuding a majestic aura.
Hong Bo marveled at the Qinghe Army's strong organizational and execution capabilities, but he also knew it.
Relying solely on the newly recruited fisherman recruits has no combat effectiveness. Once they encounter the Southern Army Navy Fleet, they will probably disperse.
So Hong Bo's method is also very simple, that is, to target the water bandits along the Dongjiang River, trying to recruit them and form a fighting force as soon as possible.
He had promised in front of Chen Ziang that he would pull the team together in a short time.
He has been depressed, and now Chen Ziang has given him a chance to show off, so he doesn't want to be looked down upon.
"Captain Xiang Fuqi, what happened to the water bandits you recruited?"
After Xiang Kun, the water bandit leader nicknamed "Huangjianglong", was recruited, Chen Zi'ang, in order to express his trust, directly agreed to Hong Bo's request and appointed him as the deputy head of the banner.
In addition to appointing Xiang Kun as the deputy head of the banner, Chen Ziang also transferred a brother named Li Jiyun from the Qinghe Army to serve as the deputy head of the banner to prevent Hong Bo from monopolizing power.
At the same time, the chief of staff and some other senior officers were appointed in the 19th Banner Regiment of the Sailors, which can be regarded as setting up the airs.
Now Xiang Kun, the deputy head of the banner, is also familiar with the situation of water bandits in various parts of the Dongjiang River because he was born as a water bandit.
The first task Hong Bo entrusted to him was to recruit water bandits from all walks of life in an attempt to incorporate them into the 19th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army Sailors.
After all, the newly recruited sailors cannot form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, so he tried to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible by means of recruiting.
"Now there areThe first team is willing to join us. They are also cornered by the southern army and navy. As long as we give enough military pay and settle down their families, they will be able to come here immediately. "
Xiang Kun has been leading people around to persuade various water bandits in the past few days, but the results are not great. Only five teams are willing to join.
Moreover, the total number of ships in these five teams is only more than 30, and the water bandits have less than 500 people, so the scale is very small.
"What do the others mean?"
You must know that there are thousands of water bandits operating in the Dongjiang River Basin, and they hide in the surrounding mountains and the tributaries of Hupo.
? Although the southern army and navy have carried out large-scale suppression several times, they have revived as the situation in the Far Eastern Dynasty became chaotic.
Among the thousands of water bandits, only five were willing to join, which made Hong Bo feel that Xiang Kun was not doing his job well.
"Some places are too far away, we haven't had time to go yet, and some are just waiting and watching."
"Most of them said that they are used to learning freedom, and they don't want to be restrained in the army."
Xiang Kun was also quite helpless. He was just a small leader of water bandits at the beginning, and he was not well-known, so others would naturally not give him face.
"In this way, it's okay to announce that they don't want to join the 19th Banner Regiment of our sailors. As long as they are willing to help fight the Southern Army and Navy, one counts as one, and I will pay you."
The Qinghe Army just now obtained a large amount of money and food in Jiangnan Province, and the food was shipped to various places for the newly recruited refugees, but the money is still much richer.
In order to form the Nineteenth Banner Regiment of the Navy, Chen Ziang also allocated a large amount of money to Hong Bo.
Hong Bo simply didn't do anything, and directly issued a reward order, trying to use money to buy water bandits to work for them.
"Commander Hong Qi, the money is used for shipbuilding and military training, not for hiring water bandits."
Hearing that Hong Bo wanted to use the money to hire water bandits to fight, Li Jiyun, the deputy head of the banner, couldn't help reminding him immediately.
"Brother Li, don't worry, as long as they follow us to fight the southern army and navy, with their character of vengeance, they will definitely retaliate wildly."
"When the time comes when these water bandits have nowhere to go, they still have to obediently come to join us. Although we temporarily paid some money, it will greatly benefit us."
"What if they take the money and don't do anything?"
"We can pay some first, and pay some later when things are done."
"And as long as you defeat the southern army and navy, it's nothing if you pay some money."
Under Hong Bo's analysis, although Li Jiyun, the deputy head of the banner, felt that something was wrong, he also felt that it made sense.
He was transferred to be the deputy head of the 19th Banner Regiment of the Sailors, and he was tied together by Hong Bo and the others.
If they can't defeat the Southern Army Navy Fleet as soon as possible, and can't complete the order given by Chen Ziang, his official career may come to an end.
So for the ultimate goal of defeating the Southern Army Navy Fleet, he finally agreed to the plan of hiring water bandits to fight, because apart from this, they have no other way in a short time.
"Since water bandits can be hired, we can also buy officers and soldiers of the Southern Army Navy." Li Jiyun also put forward a supplementary opinion.
"Okay, then we will do both."
Li Jiyun, deputy head of the banner, supported Hong Bo's plan, so Li Jiyun's idea was also agreed by Hong Bo. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
