open sea

Chapter 1202 Ambition
In fact, Brazil can also open up territories, but Lu Feng can't feel it.

The Banner Army of the Rio Guard does this almost every day.

"Although Lu was promoted to be the commander of the Rio Guards last year, he only has more than [-] banner troops, half of which were from the headquarters of thousands of households in the past, and half were sent by the commander when he came to Brazil; I can’t afford to give me more support, so I have to recruit troops, and the commander won’t let me.”

Lu Feng said that Zhao Shizhen was aware of this matter. He sent a recruiting report to the military government, intending to recruit aborigines to fill up the Banner Army, but Chen Mu refused, and sent a letter telling him that the Ming Banner Army is a national armed force overseas and must be recruited. The people of Ming Dynasty served as the banner army. If the local defense force is insufficient, they can set up Baojia, and no additional banner army is allowed.

That being said, Baojia has no fighting power.

The key to this question is not whether the Banner Army or the Baojia, but that the Dongyang Military Government will only give the Banner Army sufficient military resources. In the sparring the next day, Baojia must have died.

Because Baojia may not have received its own bow in a month, the banner army not only has a full set of weapons and armor on the second day of compilation, but also has additional fire support from various ancient soldiers.

Regardless of whether it is made of iron or pottery, at least there will be a grenade hanging on his waist, and there may be a small steel wheel plug in his waist pocket that can only be used to easily transform the grenade into a landmine. Seven-inch long small flag quiver.

Each flag army flag will have two flag soldiers carrying a quiver, usually a tall and strong recruit.

Not to mention the mirror-surfaced water-patterned waist knife and the extremely well-crafted Wanli Tianxia Taiping Gun.

What Lu Feng really wanted was not the banner army, but these weapons and equipment. With the weapons and equipment of the regular army of Ming Dynasty, what kind of banner army could not be trained.

Zhao Shizhen knew.

"The military government doesn't have so many weapons and equipment. Claypot grenades, small flags, and arrows are always self-made by Changsheng, but the output of Changsheng Jincheng bird guns is only enough to replenish the troops. The armor is too slow, except that the gunpowder is not exhausted. We have nothing else."

As he spoke, Zhao Shizhen laughed to himself: "It's very annoying to spread this word, but the fact is that we lack everything except gunpowder. The banner army's strength is not sufficient compared to the vast land that needs to be stationed. The imperial court attacked in all directions. None of the third phase of the Banner Army was sent to North Asia."

"Once the opening of mixing with the local Baojia is opened, they will degenerate from a Beiyang army that can board a ship today and go to the sea to fight tomorrow, into a guard army that used to be stationed in the place where they can see their heads at a glance for a lifetime, the commander-in-chief said."

Lu Feng closed his eyes, he was about to see his head now.

"However, Commander Lu does not need to be discouraged. The imperial court has sent a new batch of domestic flag troops over, and will soon replenish the Rio Guard Banner Army."

Hearing this, Lu Feng's eyes finally sparkled again, and then poured out bitter water: "The military government doesn't know how difficult it is for me to have two thousand households here. There are no soldiers and no people, so send people along the river into the forest to find The local people, many of the general banners of hundreds of families will not come out after entering the rainforest, and if they want to lead troops to support them, the port of Rio must also be guarded."

Zhao Shizhen had never heard Lu Feng say such a thing, and asked with a frown: "Not coming out, support? Is it the local people reviving the army?"

The actions of the Ming army in various parts of the New World were not smooth sailing. Most of the tribes had no intention of fighting the Ming army. The two sides deepened their relationship through trade and help in peace and harmony. If you do this, that will regard you as an enemy.

The most notable contribution made by the Spaniards to Ming Dynasty is that they completely destroyed the basic tribal form in the central region. Everyone hated them, even the dogs who had worked for them before.

Lu Feng shook his head: "The natives in the forest will warn our Banner Army not to enter their territory, but if the Banner Army wants to trade with them, they will accept it. What the Banner Army is chasing in the forest is not the natives, but the Portuguese."

"The first person who sent a message to inform Rio Guards of entering the forest was the General Banner. The natives who were attacked asked him for help. The Portuguese team attacked their huts in the forest and kidnapped women, children and strong men after killing them, and many others Tribes do things for them, human traffickers, just like what they did to the people of Ming Dynasty in Haojing."

"Later, more and more scouts and flag troops were sent to the jungle, and more and more messages were received from the aborigines asking for help. They were willing to help, so I let them go."

Zhao Shizhen looked at Lu Feng and sighed, and finally smiled helplessly. As the commander of guarding a place, Lu Feng's actions are not very competent. Done well, but sent troops into the jungle to help the natives find their relatives?
But he approves of it.

The people of the Celestial Dynasty, even if they have never read a book, when they are incapable, they will sigh because of the suffering of others and strive to be a good person. When they are capable, they are willing to uphold justice and pursue kindness. , raising their heads three feet, there are ancestors and ancestors looking down. They have heard from childhood that Bao Gong is upright and honest, Guan Gongyi and Bo Yuntian, this is the inheritance of the bone marrow.

He nodded slowly, and said, "The commander should call them back."

Just as Lu Feng frowned, Zhao Shizhen said: "Take those aborigines and call them back together. The Beiyang Banner Army is the commander's heart. They can't die in the jungle for no reason. How many people can you send out?" , two hundred and three hundred? The jungle is so big that 3 or [-] people can’t find it all. The Portuguese have the local people who are helping the oppressors as helpers. The banner army has no supplies or luggage, so they can’t go far.”

"Falling into a tight siege and killing people, Paoze must avenge them. Commanders need soldiers, and these native people who have lost their loved ones are the best soldiers. Giving to the weak can indeed satisfy the banner army, but our culture does not Advocating blindly giving, the Celestial Dynasty only teaches the weak how to survive and how to stand on their own feet."

Speaking of this, Zhao Shizhen raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "For those who help themselves, the Heavenly Dynasty will help them."

"Muye has a group of the best Miao man-made crossbowmakers. The command envoys will train the native soldiers to prepare Baojia, and the banner army will control them. They will teach them to make bows, knives, swords and crossbows. It is useless to chase those traffickers. Even if the banner army kills them in the jungle This batch, they will send the next batch, as long as there are Portuguese plantations in Brazil, as long as there are Portuguese town strongholds, they will always send the next slave hunting team."

"Train Baojia and teach martial arts and tactics. They grow in the jungle, and it is easier to save people. The goal of the most elite Beiyang army in Ming Dynasty should be to uproot the Portuguese strongholds and plantations one by one."

"Doesn't the commander want to expand the territory and become a marquis? Not to mention the title of marquis, even the title of uncle is not only obtained by the merits of the battle. Generals look down on herdsmen officials, but a good general can open up territories. A good herdsman, with such a large land in Brazil, isn’t it enough for the general to realize his ambition?”

　Good morning!
