open sea

Chapter 775
Acapulco still needs to be guarded. Although Deng Zilong does not want any accidents, if the naval battle is lost, Chen Mu does not want to easily lose this village with its own temple.

So the guard he chose was Lin Huer, the deputy Qianhu, the former captain of the Chitu.

Chen Mu observed Lin Huer's resume and found a very interesting thing. When the North and the South are combined, no one has been trained longer than him.

In order to improve the military ability of the Banner Army and lower-level Banner Officers in order to cope with the world situation that was completely unknown in the past, the Nanyang Military Government has always maintained a good tradition in the cooperation with the Guangzhou Jiangwu Hall.

For example, Shao Tingda’s troops went to fight the Battle of Baigu. After the battle, the combat situation and the new weapons captured during the battle will be sent to the Guangzhou Lecture Hall for archiving. He took out the results and compiled them into a book, which was distributed to the Nanyang Army.

The Nanyang Military Government printed the war book and sent it to the guards in various places within one month. The generals at all levels who stayed behind in the guards and did not participate in the battle took another month to study. The whole process lasted for three months.

In the fourth month, the senior officers who studied taught the experience and gains to the deputy officers who stayed behind and led the troops, and then pushed them to their respective subordinates in the next two months.

The whole process will take about half a year. The purpose of this step is to allow the Banner Army of the Nanyang Army to ensure that its tactics and understanding of the enemy will not be outdated, at least within half a year.

Tradition is a good tradition, but before Chen Mu left Nanyang, this measure was basically not implemented smoothly.

There were too many battles and intensive battles, so there was no time to study, and officers and deputy officers were summoned to study in turns. This was also the result of Chen Mu's preference for using veterans and partiality—the ones who fought were always fighting, and there were no battles. The troops have never fought.

Lin Hu'er is one of the best, with an amazing resume. He has been in the army for 59 months, from the ordinary banner army of Qianhu in Xinhui to the deputy of Qianhu in the official worship. A war elephant.

The other reasons for the promotion made Chen Mu look confused, feeling like this Lin Huer stuffed money for himself to be promoted, and he had to stuff a lot of money.

"Having been in the army for sixteen months, Luzon expanded the three guards, Lin Hu'er, the Xinhui Banner Army, practiced diligently, and was promoted to a small banner officer?" '

"In the third month of Ren Xiaoqi, the military needs of the Zongfan Banner can speak Luzon, and he will be promoted to the General Banner to assist the Zongfan Army?" '

"In the sixth month of the General Banner Trial by Zuo Qianhu of the Southern Guard of Lusong, he was transferred to the Northern Guard of Sulu and raised the General Banner? '

'Participating in the battle of Linlai, the ships lagged behind and the flag army landed on the shore of the island to rest at night, and the government army occupied the whole island in the early morning of the next day? '

In the battle of Nghhean, the artillery flag was set to kill a war elephant and rewarded with silver. '

"Transferred to Beiyang Shengbaihu, captain of the Chitu, the Balta naval battle ship was sunk by stone shooting guns, and became one of the only three ship captains sunk in the naval battle. One enemy ship was sunk during the battle. He was ordered to temporarily lead the deputy thousand households to manage the wounded soldiers. '

This person had such good luck, he stood out from a group of disciples who graduated from the martial arts hall. He had no military achievements and no backing. He enlisted in the army and was promoted to deputy thousand households in less than five and a half years. Chen Mu even suspected that he might have no one. Killed.

This is a fairy, right?

And what is the most divine?
Since the start of the war with Spain, more than [-] wounded soldiers have all gathered in Acapulco. Most of the wounded are close to recovery and can continue to fight. Chen Mu intends to recruit a healthy banner army from Fu Yuan's subordinates to fill up [-] people and form a reorganization The Department of Thousand Households guards the port.

Among the wounded soldiers, the two deputy thousand households had the highest official positions, one was Lin Hu'er, and the other deputy thousand household was hit by a brainstorm during the battle and became manic. There was no choice, and Chen Mu was reluctantly on the roster Lin Huer's name was checked.

Lin Hu'er was still sleeping when he received the news. He was smart and eager to learn. During the time he was injured, he had been on the back of his buttocks with the military doctor Chen Shigong, and learned a good skill of healing trauma. The knife hand opened a knife for a while, and his knife skills were not bad.

Last night, a group of wounded soldiers were sent to the front line. The military doctor worked all night, and he stayed up all night. He is a normal person, and the injuries he suffered in the naval battle were nothing more than a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Other wounded soldiers like him were directly recalled to the original unit to continue fighting, but he did not have the original unit. Shao Tingda’s earlier order was to let him lead the wounded soldiers, and he would still be the leader of the wounded soldiers in Acapulco. too high.

Even Chen Mu couldn't directly conjure up five hundred households for him to command.

Anyway, being idle is idle, and there is no place to develop his abilities, so he put on the military doctor's sleeves and worked all night, only closing his eyes during the day, and was woken up by his subordinates with joyful faces after a while.

Why say it again?
"General, this is the third time. Congratulations, you have been promoted again!"

Staring at Lin Hu'er, who didn't get enough sleep, her eyes were bloodshot, and she blinked a few times before trying to wake up: "Again?"

He was the chief banner officer who was over [-] years old under his command, and he was born in a small banner of artillery. He was the one who shot the cannon that turned the war elephant in Yi'an. In his early years, he knocked off a front tooth in a battle with the same banner, and his mouth was black when he laughed. , emphatically said: "Again!"

As he said that, Boss Banner handed out the letter, pointed to the name of Shangguan, and read it word by word: "Reorganize and defend the Qianhu Department, Qianhu, look at this big seal, Asia Economics. The commander put the official robe on Official seals and general swords are here!"

Lin Hu'er sat on the floor with her legs crossed, her arms resting on her knees, she rubbed her face and yawned, she finished the letter with a flat expression, and looked up expressionlessly at the three melons and dates left behind when she was still a hundred households. The Banner Army stood behind with a lacquer plate, his eyes swept over the official seals, official robes, and battle swords.

He didn't say anything, but said in a strangely calm tone: "Get me a basin of water and wash my face."

Contrary to his calmness, Boss Banner jumped up happily and was able to lift the roof of the house, and ran to the Western Army's position without igniting the barrel of the cannon. He immediately nodded in response, turned around and sang: "okay!"

After a while, when the water came, Lin Hu'er washed and practiced one by one with a calm demeanor. She suddenly supported the edge of the wooden basin and stopped moving. Zongqi asked, "General, what's the matter?"

Lin Hu'er walked around the house twice like a jumping master, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and went out to see the sunshine just in time. Through the shade of the village, several garrison troops were being mobilized, and the door of the arsenal was also opened. , The carriage pulled the armament and moved eastward.

Qianhu, who was newly appointed to defend the Qianhu Department, returned to the house, stared at the brand-new official robes, and asked quietly to the general flag: "Will I not be able to sleep in the future? I am very upset that I am always promoted like this." Be sure!"
