1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 1910 It's Not Simple

In fact, the interest disputes between the Ming court and Fujian are quite complicated, and it cannot be explained clearly in a few words.Not to mention An Daoshi, an outsider, even Dong Shangyi, who has internal information channels, may not know the way.Both the monarch and the ministers, plus Shanghai and Han, did not want to disrupt the current situation, so they tacitly maintained the current balance. The Fujian military sent troops overseas, and most of them were carried out quietly and secretly, and they would not report to the court before the action. Ask for instructions and report, and will not ask the court to ask for credit and reward after the end.

However, even if the Ming court intended to dispatch the Ming army from Fujian to the northern borders to resist the Qing army, most likely they would not directly issue a transfer order publicly. Otherwise, if Xu Xinsu became stubborn and refused to listen to the dispatch and refused to send troops, the situation would become very embarrassing.It is wise to communicate with Fujian and Haihan first, and after confirming their willingness and general arrangements for combat in the Liaodong area, and then issue a transfer order to Xu Xinsu, this will really have the effect of pushing the boat along.And when the Fujian Ming army achieved results in Liaodong, the Ming court could confidently credit itself with the credit.

Of course, at that time, Ming can also concentrate its superior forces and launch a counterattack against the Qing army on the northern front while Haihan is attacking.In the previous Golden State War, the Ming side missed the opportunity due to lack of news, and this year's Korean War has been on the sidelines, which is equivalent to missing two great opportunities to attack the Qing army.If you still can't seize the opportunity next time, then all military officers from the Minister of War below can be dismissed and go home.

Dong Shangyi shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said: "My Fujian army is full of fierce generals, the chance to fight...my little brother may not be in his turn!"

Although the Fujian Ming army was considered a strong army in Ming Dynasty, they fought overseas together with the Haihan army, and most of the time they could only serve as support on the battlefield.Even so, such an opportunity to lead troops once or twice a year is enough to overwhelm the Fujian generals. Xu Xinsu's sons and nephews who hold important positions in the army are naturally the first choice. They have rich experience in leading troops and have all studied in Sanya. After receiving professional training, his command ability is indeed far from comparable to that of the older generation of military officers.

For example, although Dong Shangyi has a family background, but after all, his qualifications are still inexperienced, and he has not studied advanced military subjects in Sanya, so Xu Xinsu naturally would not send him to lead troops into battle.Dong Shangyi may not be able to catch up with the next Haihan army to launch a war in Liaodong, and he himself is not optimistic about it.So for him, it is an enviable experience for An Daoshi to have the opportunity to fight under the command of a famous Haihan general like Gao Qiaonan.

After dinner, Dong Shangyi proposed to take a walk in the barracks, but An Daoshi worried that he was unfamiliar with the environment and went to the wrong place.There are many forbidden places in the army, if you accidentally hit and enter, you will inevitably get into trouble.Immediately, he declined Dong Shangyi's invitation, saying that he would go back to the barracks to pack up his things—their personal belongings had already been delivered from where they stayed yesterday.

In the early morning of the next day, the wake-up call in the camp was sounded with dawn, and An Daoshi and others were also awakened from their sleep by the sound of the call, only to see that Dong Shangyi and other Ming army officers were already getting up and getting dressed.An Daoshi wondered: "Brother Dong, why do you get up so early? Is it possible that I have to get up early for training?"

Dong Shangyi said: "Brother An doesn't know something. This morning exercise is one of the rules set by the Haihan Army. As long as you are stationed here, you must participate in this activity regardless of whether you have entered school or graduated. Brother An quickly put on his clothes, Otherwise, it will be too late.”

When An Daoshi heard that this was the rule set by Hai Han, he had no choice but to follow it.Fortunately, the content of this morning exercise is simple, and it happens to be his strong point - running.

Dong Shangyi waited patiently for the North Koreans to pack up, and then took them to a nearby playground.There are three sports fields in the army base, and the field that Dong Shangyi led the way to is the closest to the camp where they live.

An Daoshi noticed that there were several laps of flat running tracks on the periphery of the school field. He had seen similar designs on the way south, and knew that this was a facility for running.The Haihan army seems to have a soft spot for running training. Whether it is a soldier or an officer, they are required to maintain excellent physical strength and physical condition during their service in the army, and the main training method is running.

In addition to their group of overseas students, there are at least a thousand Haihan soldiers gathered here. Although there are many people, they don't feel noisy at all.Everyone is returning to their seats silently, and there is no need for anyone to direct.And every time a phalanx is assembled, you will hear a Haihan officer shouting a few slogans in a high-pitched voice, and then lead the team to start morning exercises.

The so-called morning exercise is to run around the playground. An Daoshi looked at it and felt that the distance of this lap was at least one mile, but the running speed was not too fast, and it was not difficult for him.He himself was born as a hunter, and he travels through the mountains and forests all year round, so his physical strength is naturally not a problem.During the competition at the Datongjiang base, he won No.1 by relying on the advantage of "being able to run".

"The rule here is to run ten laps every morning, and then go to have breakfast. But we don't have instructors yet, so we rely on self-consciousness." Dong Shangyi told An Daoshi what he knew.

"Then run!" Andoshi didn't think about being lazy, and took the initiative to stand at the front of the team to control the running speed.In fact, they had already started this kind of training when they were at the Datongjiang base, and An Daoshi, who is known for his ability to run, was responsible for controlling the running speed, so that the speed of the entire team could be kept above the level required by the Haihan people.

However, there are more than 40 overseas students in their group, and not all of them are as easy-going as Dong Shangyi.A few officers of the Ming army from Guangzhou were not interested in the Koreans, but when they saw that Andaoshi was not astonishing but wanted to take the lead, they were quite disdainful and taunted them a few times.

Although An Daoshi was unhappy, he didn't dare to make trouble here, let alone offend the people of the Ming army, so he could only pretend to turn a deaf ear.However, in Dong Shangyi's eyes, this was more like an expression of confidence, and he didn't want to have a verbal dispute with the Cantonese guy at all.

Sure enough, after the start of the run, under the leadership of An Daoshi, the speed of the dozen or so North Korean students was quite consistent, and they looked quite neat.Dong Shangyi couldn't help secretly marveling, saying that the North Korean army was obviously weak and had low combat capability, but the officers selected to study abroad seemed to be quite capable.He has been running here for a few days, and he has also observed the training methods of Haihan soldiers, so he naturally knows what it means for this group of people to run in an orderly rhythm.

But what Dong Shangyi didn't know was that after the war, these North Korean military officers were selected to receive Haihan's training at the Datongjiang Base. The content was almost all based on the most basic physical training. The project has been practiced back and forth for more than a month, not to mention ten laps, even twenty or thirty laps, and Daoshi can lead them to run at a relatively stable speed.In other words, running may be the only advantage that North Korean students can take advantage of.

The Fujian Ming Army has sent a large number of military students to Haihan over the years. In fact, they have known these training methods for a long time. Before Dong Shangyi came to Sanya, he had already received such training, so he would not show any difficulty.On the contrary, there were a few students from Mata Languo, who didn't know whether they hadn't rested well or were not good at running. In the last few laps, they obviously couldn't keep up with the team and were dragged further and further away.

The performance of North Korean students gave Dong Shangyi a new understanding of them. Although this project does not fully reflect the combat effectiveness of an army, Dong Shangyi believes that the personal physical fitness of the officers who are the backbone of the army is also the strength of the army. An important part of North Korea's performance at least shows that they are not bad in this respect.

An Daoshi didn't expect that an ordinary morning exercise would cause other overseas students to secretly judge him in their hearts. To him, the ten laps were really just a warm-up, and he didn't even breathe much.

The water tank next to the playground is specially brought in from the mountain spring, and dozens of faucets are installed on the water tank to control the water flow, which can be used by multiple people at the same time.An Daoshi turned on the faucet to wash his face, and took two sips of water with both hands, feeling that the cold mountain spring water was still slightly sweet.This reminded him of his hometown. Before he joined the army, every time he came back from hunting in the mountains and walked to the spring at the entrance of the village, he would drink a few mouthfuls of mountain spring water like this to relieve fatigue.

But that was several years ago. After joining the army, An Daoshi only returned home twice. After the war broke out this year, he took his family from his hometown to the south to avoid the war, and he never went back.I heard that the village in my hometown was looted by the Qing army and it has become a ruin. I think I will never go back in the future.

An Daoshi wiped the water on his face, and pulled away from the memories. He knew why he was here now, and also understood his mission.He must have enough power to protect the people and things he cares about in the future, and every moment in Sanya, he is working hard for this goal.

At the same time, Li Wei, who was invited by the local chamber of commerce in Sanya last night, was still in a sound sleep after drinking. This was also the first time he had been drunk since Zhoushan Island.The old foxes who were doing business were not in a hurry to persuade them to drink when they came up, but they brought a large group of young women to play, play, play and sing, and then sent two beautiful and beautiful girls to serve Li Wei.

At this time, it was already very difficult for Li Lu to refuse a toast from others. The two little girls stuck to his body like a plaster, which made him feel a little distracted.Since going abroad, he hasn't touched a woman again, but he has been thinking about things recently, and he can't take care of them.Now relax and be arranged like this...

Fortunately, Li Xi was also present, and while he was out to go to the bathroom, he quietly vaccinated Li Min: "These women are tools kept by businessmen, and they are specially used to bribe high-ranking officials. If it is not, it will become a big trouble. The son can just play around, don't move other thoughts, and be careful not to be taken advantage of by traitors!"

Li Lu Jiujin woke up most of the time, he knew that Li Xi had stayed here longer and knew more about the inside story, so he probably wouldn't deliberately fabricate sensational information to deceive himself.As the son of the Joseon Dynasty, if he made a fool of himself in Haihan, he would lose the country's face.

"It's good that you reminded me, otherwise I might be stupid!" Li Wei sighed, "Then I'll find an excuse to send these women away. I always feel that these old foxes on the opposite side want to have a drink with me. If I drink too much tonight, it's up to you to deal with the aftermath."

Li Min's hunch was right. The Sanya Chamber of Commerce hoped to get more information and promises from Li Min so that they could benefit from the transnational trade between North Korea and Haihan.And to make the son of Joseon let go, one must try to make him happy, or simply get him drunk.

Li Min returned to the banquet, and quickly dismissed the singers and dancers who accompanied the wine girls on the grounds that "the family and the country are not in peace, so it is difficult to have fun".When everyone saw that it was impossible to use beauty to make the prince of Korea happy, they had no choice but to take the next best thing, and they took turns raising their glasses to toast Li Wei.

Li Luo couldn't evade it, so he could only raise his glass in response. After this back and forth, he soon became overwhelmed with alcohol.But Li Xi saw that Li Min couldn't hold on any longer, so he offered to call it a day and call it a day. The prince was too tired and needed to go back to rest.Everyone saw that the son was already drunk, no matter whether he was really drunk or pretended to be drunk, the drinking game could not go on, so they could only respectfully send Li Luo out of the venue.

Li Lu's drunkenness was not entirely faked. He was really tired after the day. He went to visit Shengli Port early in the morning, then took the train to Sanya Port, and took a boat around Sanya Port all morning.At noon, I had lunch with Ningqi and Zhou Hengxing of the Sanya Port Management Committee. In the afternoon, I rushed to visit the Shengli Port Shipyard, and in the evening I went to the Sanya Chamber of Commerce for a banquet.This day is full of schedules, although he is in good health, he is really a little tired.In such a situation, he still had to play a wheel fight with a group of old foxes in the shopping mall on the wine table, so he couldn't bear it.

Back at the embassy, ​​Li Min fell asleep and didn't have the energy to look back at today's harvest.This sleep lasted until the next morning. Li Yan felt his stomach growling with hunger, and he woke up automatically from his sleep.

"Li Xi, what's the plan for today?" Taking advantage of the time for breakfast, Li Min took the initiative to ask about today's schedule.

"I don't have any special arrangements for today, but the two groups of shipbuilders and agricultural technicians are about to enroll. Would you like to visit?" Li Xi asked.

Li Wei shook his head and said, "No need...have the officers of the navy reported for duty?"

"After visiting the shipyard yesterday, I went with the Haihan people." Li Xiying said: "There are also a dozen people who went to Luhuitou Peninsula, and all their luggage has been sent there."
