Chapter 509 Chicken Soup
A group of Guangdong officials standing on the pier to greet the guests, saw Xiong Wencan and the popular fried chicken Cao Mou walking off the battleship together, among the many crowns and crowns, there was inevitably the old bear who slandered the old bear: so arrogant, where is the dignity?
However, the slander belongs to the slander, and the subordinates still put on smiles and went forward.

The news channels of the officials are unblocked, so they know very well that at this time, no one can do anything to the combination of "Cao Xiong".Even if these two acted in such an outrageous manner, it was impossible for others to take advantage of this to bring them down.

Even if the surname Cao got angry and complained locally, the emperor was under pressure, and at most he would issue a few words of warning, and he would not say anything serious.

The most important thing is: as long as the Tartars entrenched in the white mountains and black waters in the north are not dead, then the emperor will definitely not take any meaningful actions to suppress Cao, and even the Xiong will also become a tumbler .

Therefore, knowing that there is nothing to be done about these two hostile people, this meeting will not bother to bring that rhythm.

When the governor of a province arrives at the port, the welcome procedure is naturally of the highest standard. The moment the old bear stepped onto the pier, the already prepared Jiaofang musicians began to beat drums and play cheerful welcome music.

Then comes the standard procedure red tape.

The governor and the senior officials who came to pick up the station greeted each other one by one, and then everyone boarded the official sedan chairs parked aside one by one, set off according to the order of the officials, and rushed to the largest restaurant in the city.

The lively reception banquet lasted until noon.During this period, a group of Guangfu bureaucrats spent their public funds in their own treasury and listened to the music of their own Jiaofangsi. They enjoyed themselves and the scene was harmonious.

The eye-catching Cao Zongbing didn't make any fuss this time, and has been advancing and retreating with the squad honestly.

After the matter was over, Lord Xiong drove back home alone with a guard of honor after saying goodbye to his colleagues.

Since Guangdong and Guangxi are far away from the emperor, and the location is extremely important, the Fengjiang who sits here must have sufficient rights to deal with various emergencies.In the late Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi served as the Governor of Guangdong most of the time.

That is to say, although Lao Xiong's Governor's Yamen is in Zhaoqing, like Wang Zunde, Lao Xiong actually has a big house in Guangzhou: Guangdong Governor's Yamen.

In the next few days, the old Xiong, who had just arrived, naturally would not do any official business, but mainly received guests from all walks of life and familiarized himself with the local conditions.

As for what Mr. Cao should discuss, he had discussed it clearly on the Fuyuan before, and now he will naturally not join in the fun and disturb the governor.

All it takes is patience and waiting for things to happen step by step.

The words are divided into two parts.

In addition, after the fleet that entered the Pearl River that day parted ways outside Huangpu Port, the transport ship carrying Wu Sanye and other pioneer soldiers entered the port to "unload".

Although Taiwan is prosperous, it is still a remote area in the eyes of Ming people.This time I came to the urban-rural fringe area of ​​Guangzhou, the big city in my mind, from the outer islands. To be honest, the mood of these indigenous people is quite good, especially after the instructor announced that everyone will have a holiday in a few days.

In this way, this group of pioneer soldiers who are not like soldiers, and people are not like people, set up camp in Huangpu Military Port.

At this point, the time for these people to go into battle is not far away.So the first thing to do next is: pour chicken soup.

In this era, the status of traditional soldiers is low, and food is the only motivation for serving as a soldier. There is no propaganda of defending the country - everything in the world belongs to the emperor's family, and the people naturally don't have the leisure to defend other people's property.

But in the crossing crowd, the system has advanced several grades, so whether it is a regular army or a pioneer army, the truth of "why fight" must be clearly explained to the soldiers.

So, Mr. Wu and the others spent two days recuperating in the military port, and after eating a few delicious meals like fried fish, they were greeted by the officer in person.

In the morning, the big playground. The 500 Pioneering Army seeds who have been transported to Huangpu one after another sat neatly in the middle of the playground with a small Mazha stuffed under their buttocks.

Sticks and whips are the quickest educational tools.Over the past few days, it was by relying on these two props that these sloppy natives quickly learned to abide by military discipline.

The soldiers of the regular battalion stationed in Huangpu Port are currently surrounding the playground with live ammunition, showing these bumpkins what is called a standard military posture.

The next moment, Wang Bo, the commander of the Pioneering Army, wearing an olive green short-sleeved general officer's uniform, and accompanied by a group of staff officers, boarded the general's platform.

Mingren is now very familiar with this set.Whether in a small town in Taipei or in a community in Tainan, "domestic" tin speakers have been deeply integrated into people's lives, bringing the fastest channel for information dissemination to this society without mobile phones and telephones.

Sure enough, after the boss came to the stage, the familiar speech with a slight electric sound came out from the loudspeaker.

"Most of you are survivors of prison. They were supposed to work until death. Now that you have this opportunity to join the Pioneering Army, it is considered a reincarnation. This is a blessing, so cherish it!"

"Marshal Cao is generous and generous. He never treats his brothers badly. Everyone in the world knows that. Since you joined the army, not only did you have enough food and clothing, but you were also fully paid. Has anyone ever been detained? Look at the life of the officers and soldiers. day?"

"Following the commander in chief is definitely a good way to get ahead. This time I came to Guangdong to suppress the bandits, just for you to practice your skills. When you go to Nanyang in the future, the warship's cannon will be fired, and everyone will go up with random guns. The territory and women will be taken!"

"The commander-in-chief has already promised that every brother will have a share in the land that he has seized! By then, you will all be big landlords. If you lack a thousand acres of land and ten wives, you will be ashamed to say hello to others when you go out!"

"Follow Marshal Cao, you will be the master!"

"Give it a go, and the soil turtle will become rich!"

"Say you can do it, you can do it, you can do it!"

The mobilization meeting finally ended with the excited slogans of all soldiers.

The aborigines who have been beaten up are all very excited now, and they are gearing up one after another, waiting to finish the bandits and the aboriginals.

The next step is the formal actual combat drill: 500 people are divided into companies and squads. After the initial grouping, the comprehensive training of cold weapons and hot weapons begins.

In the [-]th century, when suppressing bandits in Guangdong with dense vegetation, and in the future to fight against the aborigines in the dense forests of Southeast Asia, cold weapons are essential, because there are not so many open terrains left for musketeers to easily fight hamsters.

Therefore, a large number of cold weapons have been transported to Huangpu Port at this moment.In addition, considering that there are all kinds of quacks like Mr. Wu in the Pioneering Army, the variety of these cold weapons is very diverse and complete, and people can always find a guy in their hands.

There are not only knives, guns, swords and halberds, but also cold-forged armor and so on. In short, there are eighteen kinds of weapons and armor, including leather lock plates.

Of course, the most powerful and core weapon is also prepared: Type [-] tunnel-fired gun.
