1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 1908 Study Abroad Life
Taking such a note of Mawei first when they came here made this group of new students feel a little depressed, but at the same time it also made them realize that studying abroad is not as easy as they imagined. If they don't work hard, God knows What will be done by this vicious ancient instructor.

Haihan's army is extremely strict. Most of the North Korean trainees have experienced this at the Taedong River Base.Now it seems that this strict style of work was cultivated from the stage of training in the military academy, and judging from Gu Wei's attitude just now, Haihan should plan to train them with the same standard.

If you consider it from the perspective of learning ability, such strict requirements are of course a good thing, at least it shows that Haihan's training is more realistic and does not intend to paddle in the process, which means that the students can learn here. True skills, not just traveling thousands of miles to complete the task.

But everything has two sides. Although it is good for Haihan to take this matter seriously, it means that the North Korean students will suffer more during the training process.Before coming here, Haihan did not give a clear time limit for studying abroad, but it was at least half a year. This may mean that if they cannot complete the training courses within the specified time, the time for studying abroad may continue to be extended until they can until graduation.

And during this period, these military officer students will probably be the most depressed group of people in the study abroad team, and it is basically difficult to have a vacation to leave the army base.Until graduation, they will spend most of their time in the camp here except for the outings organized by officials.

However, the North Korean trainees are still newcomers, and they have a full sense of freshness about the base, so they don't feel that there is anything wrong with this environment for the time being.After they retreat here for a month or two, they probably start to miss the city of Sanya that they had a quick glimpse of when they came here.

Immediately, some military officers took these students to the camp to arrange accommodation. The barracks at Luhuitou base were all occupied by ten people in a class, so the fourteen North Korean students were divided into two groups, and ten of them lived in one room. The remaining four people, including An Daoshi, lived in another room with several Ming army officers from Fujian.

These Fujian military officers came a few days earlier than An Daoshi and others. They had already completed all the admission procedures, and even received their training uniforms and other personal items. They had also watched the graduation assessment of the previous batch of students with them.

The Fujian Ming army has cooperated with Haihan for many years and is one of the most stable allies with Haihan. Before Haihan was officially founded, it had secretly sent overseas students to Sanya to learn military skills.For the young officers of the Fujian Ming Army, studying in Sanya was almost the only way to be promoted, and Xu Xinsu also selected some outstanding new recruits here almost every year to be trained by Haihan.Nowadays, the young and strong officers in charge of military power in the Fujian Ming Army basically have the experience of studying in Sanya, such as Xu Jiaqi and Xu Yuzhuo, the Xu family's children, even came here more than once.

For students from Fujian, even if they come to Sanya for the first time, they will not be too unfamiliar with it. The various experiences gained by their predecessors here are passed on to their successors in almost every detail.How to live here, how to get along with the Haihan instructors, and even the content to be learned, these new students already knew a lot before they came to Sanya, and this is the pioneer that the North Korean students can never catch up with. Gave an advantage.

Over the years, Fujian has sent several batches of military officers to Sanya to study. In fact, some relatively basic military theoretical knowledge and combat skills can be completed within the Fujian Ming Army. There is no need to send people to Sanya to learn. But Xu Xinsu still insisted on this arrangement, and did not intend to change it.

For the Fujian Ming army, sending people to Sanya for advanced studies was not only for learning advanced military knowledge and adapting to Haihan's command system, but also for a certain diplomatic purpose.In this environment, the officers of the young and strong faction have the opportunity to make friends with soldiers from Haihan and other countries, and by the way, open their eyes to see the most prosperous trading port in the South China Sea, and learn about Haihan's customs and enthusiasm, all of which are valuable gains.As for spending more military expenses for this, this is not a problem for Xu Xinsu who is determined to hold Haihan's thigh tightly.

Of course, Xu Xinsu didn't spend a lot of money to send them to visit the mountains and rivers. With such good conditions, at least the academic performance can't be worse than that of his predecessors.If you can't even do this, then don't expect any promotion after returning to Fujian.

"I heard that you all come from North Korea. I wonder if you can understand what I'm saying? From now on, everyone will live under the same roof. Why don't you get to know each other first?"

As soon as An Daoshi and the others settled down, a Fujian military officer who seemed to be in his early twenties came over to say hello.An Daoshi, as the No. 1 martial arts contest in Datong Jiang, has now faintly become the leader of this study abroad team. He stood up and responded immediately: "Before I came to Sanya, I had learned Haihan Mandarin, and I have no problem with daily conversation. An Dao-shik, the Pyongyang military commander of the Pyongan Province of North Korea."

Andaoshi's official position is actually just a false one. Before the Anti-Qing War, he was just an ordinary officer, and the troops under his command were only about a hundred people, all of which were accumulated by fighting with the Haihan Army in the second half of the war. He was sent to the Datongjiang base for training because of his military exploits.After obtaining the qualifications to study abroad, the North Korean officials considered that they had to give the military officers studying abroad a decent status so that they could be active in Haihan, so before they set off, they were all promoted by surprise, and An Daoshi was also promoted several levels in a row Got this official position - of course, there is currently no corresponding army that can be provided to him to command, and even the military salary has not been paid according to the level of the new official position, it is just a title that sounds more powerful.

The Fujian military officer obviously didn't know what level of position An Daoshi was talking about, but this would not prevent him from getting close to the North Koreans: "It turns out that it is Mr. An, who has been admiring him for a long time! I am in Yongningwei Chongwu Station, Quanzhou, Fujian Qianhu Dong Shangyi."

"Your Majesty Dong is polite!" An Daoshi hurriedly bowed, and then introduced several of his companions to him.

This Dong Shangyi's official position is not an empty position like An Daoshi's temperance envoy, but that he actually has more than 1000 big soldiers under his hands.As for why he was able to serve as a thousand households in the guard at such a young age, it was naturally because of his unusual background.Dong Yanyun, the number one staff member next to Xu Xinsu, is Dong Shangyi's old father. Although he is not a child of the Xu family, he has the care of his father's generation, and the treatment he enjoys may be better than those of the offshoots of the Xu family.

Dong Shangyi is Dong Yanyun's fourth son. Although he is young, he has shown his talent in military affairs before he reached adulthood.However, Dong Yanyun, as a counselor and civil official, still hopes to train him to follow his own path. After all, joining the army and fighting is still relatively risky, and being a civil servant can also follow the upper-level route.But after Xu Xinsu heard about Dong Shangyi's situation, he thought that Dong Yanyun didn't need to restrict his development. He clearly had the conditions to let Dong Shangyi join the army earlier, so why should he be forced to play with his pen.

So a few years ago, with Xu Xinsu's special approval, Dong Shangyi, who had just grown up, entered the army to serve.In the beginning, in order to reassure Dong Yanyun, he was only arranged to be a military attache in Zhangzhou's guards.Later, I found an opportunity to arrange for him to receive training in the Haihan Base in Penghu, and then arranged for him to be a general banner in Yongningwei. One year later, he was promoted to a hundred households. Excellent, Xu Xinsu promoted him to a thousand households in Chongwu Institute, and at the same time became the youngest thousand households among many guards in Fujian. His promotion speed is enough to make most people envious.

Although Xu Xinsu has long grasped the real power to appoint military positions in Fujian, the positions appointed by the Fujian General Soldier are not as glamorous as those directly appointed by the Ministry of War.For this reason, Xu Xinsu even used the contacts of the Ministry of War to get Dong Shangyi a formal letter of appointment with the seal of the Ministry of War, which shows how much he attaches importance to him - of course, this also has an element of rewarding the old subordinate Dong Yanyun.

Xu Xinsu helped to pave the road for this purpose, Dong Yanyun naturally could no longer refuse the kindness of his boss, and Dong Shangyi himself was willing to take the road of joining the army, so he followed Xu Xinsu's arrangement and let his son walk on this road well down.

Dong Shangyi achieved thousands of households at a young age, and he didn't have any great military achievements to speak of. Of course, it was easy to attract gossip, and even be secretly hated.Even if others dare not offend him because of his family background, if he wants to go further, he must have enough personal strength after all.So after being a thousand householder for a year, Xu Xinsu included him in the list of going to Sanya for further study with a stroke of his pen.After he returns from his studies, he will find an opportunity to lead troops to the expedition. After he has achieved solid military achievements, he will gradually promote his position.

Moreover, Haihan will set up a coalition command in the coming year to be responsible for coordinating and commanding future joint operations. Fujian, as an ally, must contribute its efforts and send outstanding talents to this organization to ensure its own interests and right to speak.Although Xu Xinsu has many good generals, he also wants to see if Dong Shangyi, who is known for his military talent, can improve his strength through studying abroad and win the qualification to enter the joint command next year.

After the two sides introduced each other, An Daoshi knew that these officers of the Ming army respected Dong Qianhu, who seemed to be the youngest, and the others held positions such as Baihu and General Banner.He did know a little about the military system of Daming's guards, and he knew that Dong Shangyi's position was already a military officer of the fifth rank, which was much more powerful than the empty position above his head.But being able to occupy a high position at such a young age, An Daoshi felt that if he hadn't made extraordinary achievements, then it should be because of his unusual family background—several of the military officers studying abroad in North Korea were in the latter situation.

However, An Daoshi is not a person who does not know how to measure. Naturally, he will not immediately ask each other about his personal situation in person. He just politely exchanged greetings with these Fujian military officers while learning about the training arrangements this time.

Although Dong Shangyi was a military officer, he still inherited some of his father's traits, and his thoughts were more careful. After chatting for a few words, he knew that this group of people knew almost nothing about the local conditions, and even the training content and related arrangements were not very clear. No corresponding preparations were made.There is no doubt that North Korea is still a rookie in this field, and does not know the way of studying abroad.

If you understand the training courses and related arrangements in advance and make corresponding preparations, it will definitely be easier to achieve results than those who are ignorant, and it is easier to win the favor of instructors.This was considered a shortcut, but the other party didn't ask, and Dong Shangyi didn't have the kindness to remind his North Korean counterpart when he met for the first time.He just told the other party that the training uniform and other personal items had to be collected from the logistics office, and the formal training course would start in two days.

An Daoshi asked: "Master Dong, do all of us study the same courses?"

Dong Shangyi didn't answer his question first, but once again got close: "From now on, you and I will come and go like adults every day, doesn't it seem strange? The instructor said that in the training camp, the students are not judged by their official positions. , it is easier to divide by age, so I will call you Brother An!"

After thinking about it, An Daoshi also felt that it was reasonable. The awkwardness of this address was second to none. Wouldn't it be quite embarrassing if Haihan's instructor heard the students address each other as "Master So-and-so".Immediately, he agreed to Dong Shangyi's meaning, and said "Brother Dong" with his hands together.

Only then did Dong Shangyi answer his previous question: "Brother An probably doesn't know about this. The training of army personnel here will have different courses due to different majors. The specific courses you need to learn depend on your majors. .”

An Daoshi said: "I came here in a hurry, and I didn't have time to know what majors there are. Can I ask Brother Dong to explain a little bit?"

Dong Shangyi said in his heart that since you have asked, then I will help you, and patiently explained: "Actually, there are three main categories. One is the command profession. Needless to say, infantry, artillery, cavalry, The tactics and tactics of common arms are all listed here; the second is military supplies, which includes ordnance manufacturing, maintenance, logistics and logistics arrangements, etc.; The courses studied are slightly different, of course, if you are all-rounder, you can also choose to learn all of them, but the time required for training may be quite long.”

An Daoshi frowned again and again, he didn't know that there were these ways in the middle, and no one had introduced them to them before.Such a detailed division of labor in General Haihan's affairs will indeed appear more professional, but at the same time it will also make them have difficulty in choosing.

Of course, combat command must be learned, which is the main purpose of their coming here.But other courses also sound very valuable, and it seems that they cannot be dropped, but how much time will it take to complete so many courses?
