Chapter 1227 Continue Training
Marcus's impassioned statement made Han Zhengshan stunned for a moment, before responding after a long time: "The horse platoon leader is really...really...so brave!"
Han Zhengshan didn't expect that this foreign black man had been brainwashed to such an extent that even the concept of "incense worship" had been deeply rooted in his heart, and his loyalty to Hai Han was probably much stronger than most citizens.At least a newcomer to Haihan like Han Zhengshan would never associate the act of "sacrificing one's life for the country" with himself.However, it can also be seen from this that Marcus's obsession with fighting is really deep. Even if he knows that the battlefield is extremely risky, he still wants to have the opportunity to complete his mission as a soldier.
However, Marcus said indifferently: "It's the duty, don't dare to slack off! Heroism is not something to be called. After all, I have no record yet, but every time I hear news of other troops fighting, I can't help but feel itchy."
Han Zhengshan couldn't help being shocked by Marcus' aggressiveness, and couldn't help asking: "Platoon Ma, before you joined the army...I mean, before you came to Haihan, what did you do in your hometown?"
When Han Zhengshan was inspecting Abunna Island, he heard about foreign slaves who were trafficked here and were selected into the army because of their good health. Marcus was obviously one of them.But such a background is obviously not easy to discuss directly, so Han Zhengshan asked this question in a more tactful manner.
"I was a warrior at that time!" Marcus replied seriously: "But my weapons are only spears and daggers, relying on them can't defeat those slave traders! Those white men captured my tribal leaders, so I only Can surrender in exchange for his safety."
Han Zhengshan thought it's no wonder, Marcus was in this line of work before, that's why he was so belligerent.Now that he had opened up the chatterbox, he continued to ask: "Then if there is a chance to return to your hometown in the future, what would you choose?"
Marcus was silent for a while before saying: "It would be great if I could go back, but no matter where I go, I, Marcus, am from Haihan! This identity will not change again!"
When Han Zhengshan heard it, it seemed that this man was determined to work for Haihan.But it’s reasonable to think about it, after all, when Marcus left his hometown, he had already been reduced to a commodity for sale, and it was only after arriving in Haihan that he regained his new life.Moreover, Marcus now has the status of a small officer, and has learned fluent Haihan Mandarin, which is enough to show that Chief Roger still values him a little bit. Marcus wants to repay this kind of rebirth, It is also a reasonable thing.
"It's getting late, let's go back and rest, tomorrow morning we have to fuck." Marcus didn't seem to want to continue discussing this topic that made him in a dilemma, so he decisively ended the conversation and urged Han Zhengshan to leave.
Although Han Zhengshan felt physically and mentally exhausted after the training, he did not rest very well at night.Marcus, who shared the room with him, was snoring loudly, like rolling thunder, and continued.Han Zhengshan didn't know how long it took him toss and roll before he fell asleep. Anyway, when he woke up, he felt that he was still in a state of severe sleep deprivation.
Naturally, it wasn't Marcus's snoring that woke him up, but the wake-up call sounded in the camp in the morning.Fortunately, the immigrant camps and training bases he stayed in Sanya had similar arrangements, and they would not be disturbed by the sudden trumpet sound.After Han Zhengshan got up, he washed step by step, and then went to the playground with Marcus to gather.
Going out to exercise in the morning is really a torture for people who lack sleep. Han Zhengshan had to cheer up to complete the collective task of running around the playground.Although considering his specific situation, Marcus only arranged two laps for him, and the running length was half of the others, but it still made Han Zhengshan sweat profusely.
After the run, they had breakfast together, but Han Zhengshan followed Marcus to the officer's canteen, so he didn't have to stand in a long queue like ordinary soldiers.And one of the biggest advantages of serving as a soldier in Haihan is that he is full and eats well, so Han Zhengshan can understand why there are so many slave-born aliens like Marcus Hui'an will serve in the army with peace of mind. All the food, clothing, housing and transportation are borne by Haihan officials. For these people, the living environment in the military camp may be much better than their previous living environment, so naturally there will be no resistance.
As for obeying military discipline and military orders, and even loyalty to the country of Haihan, they can be accumulated slowly through daily training, from quantitative changes to qualitative changes. In this regard, Marcus is undoubtedly a very vivid example.
Half a day in the morning is still a boring queue training. In the words of Marcus, this is to "consolidate the results of yesterday's training."It was only in the afternoon that we started to get down to business, combining the standard weapons equipped by the militia to teach some of the most basic tactics and corresponding training items.
In Haihan, the vast majority of the militia troops are still equipped with spear-based cold weapons. The production and training costs of such weapons are very low, and the equipment storage does not need to spend too much thought.Moreover, it is easier for the spearmen to cooperate with the regular troops of the Haihan Army to fight. After all, before Haihan came to this time and space, the most advanced tactics of this era were the mixed formation of spearmen and musketeers. The Spanish phalanx of the "Flower of the Infantry" used this combination to shock the world on the European battlefield in the 16th century, and maintained Spain's military advantage for a hundred years.
The spears equipped by Haihan are certainly not as exaggerated as the Spanish spears. After all, Haihan has a greater performance advantage in muskets and is relatively less dependent on spearmen. The regular army has even completely canceled the establishment of spearmen. , only the militia continued to retain this arm.
Of course, there are also musketeers in the militia, but the number is relatively small, and in many cases, retired soldiers are responsible for this task to reduce training costs and the risk of using musketeers.
As the local magistrate, Han Zhengshan will be the direct commander of the militia, so he must be familiar with these tactics.Marcus asked someone to fetch some spears, and demonstrated to Han Zhengshan how to conduct training and how these training items were integrated into tactics.
"The militia is not the main force, so there is no need for strong personal combat power. It is enough to be unified in action and cooperate with the main force in accordance with the command." Marcus said seriously: "But you, as the commander , it is necessary to understand the combat methods of the regular army, so as to make the correct command when the militia needs to be dispatched.”
Han Zhengshan responded repeatedly, of course he understood the truth, but recruits had to train for a hundred days before being assessed, and he only had a few days of training, so the things he could learn were naturally very limited.Han Zhengshan also became more and more aware of the difficulty of transferring these skills to the militia in the future.
Taking advantage of the time to rest and drink water, Han Zhengshan asked Marcus, "Didn't Xingdao organize a militia before?"
Marcus responded: "The chief thought about it at the beginning, but the number of immigrants is too small to pick out a few qualified ones. Moreover, there is a serious shortage of labor here. Even we are often transferred to the construction site for emergencies and organized militias. There is no time for training either. It was only after seeing your group of immigrants that the chief raised the matter again."
If Tan Juren was present and heard these words, he would probably refute Marcus’s statement. Even if the number of immigrants arriving this time is increased, there will still be a huge gap between the number of local labor forces and the actual demand. It is not difficult to select dozens of immigrants to join the militia, but the difficulty is to draw these people out of production for militia training, which will inevitably affect the progress of local infrastructure projects.
And Han Zhengshan didn't have as thorough a understanding of the local population as Tan Juren, but he just vaguely felt that if Xingdao had a militia establishment before, then the process of taking over by himself might be easier than it is now.There are so many things to learn this day, Han Zhengshan felt that his head was about to explode.Although the Ming Dynasty also had militias and other civil armed organizations, their tactical requirements were far inferior to that of the Haihan militia. According to Han Zhengshan, the militiamen were trained to be stronger than guard soldiers in many places. .
Lying on the bed at night, the chaotic thoughts in his head gradually calmed down, and Han Zhengshan suddenly thought of a problem-the chiefs are very eager to form the militia, and even he, the commander, only has a few days of training Time, is this because Xingdao is facing certain external threats, and the military believes that it is necessary to organize a reserve force as soon as possible, so it made such an arrangement.
Hearing that Marcus hadn't started snoring yet, Han Zhengshan knew that he was not asleep, so he took the initiative to ask: "Platoon Ma, what's wrong with Xingdao recently?"
Marcus responded, "Why did Director Han suddenly think of asking this?"
Han Zhengshan said: "I feel that organizing the militia seems to be a little hasty, so I guess there are foreign enemies coveting, and the chiefs are worried about local safety, so they are so anxious to organize the militia."
This time Marcus was silent for a moment before responding: "Regardless of whether there are foreign enemies or not, it is our duty as a soldier to prepare for war. As the local sheriff, Director Han naturally has to bear the burden." take corresponding responsibilities.”
Marcus's answer was noncommittal, and Han Zhengshan was a little confused, and when he was about to ask again, Marcus said impatiently: "Go to bed early, or you will not be energetic during the day. "
Han Zhengshan secretly thought that he was wronged, it wasn't because you were snoring like thunder, how could I not have a good rest at night?Thinking about it again, this Marcus is straightforward, and he doesn't seem like a person who can hide his thoughts. He actually bypassed his own question and didn't answer directly. Maybe there is something tricky about it.
I think it was because of the war between the two countries that caused me to leave my hometown. I have traveled thousands of miles to the south. Is it still impossible to avoid the war?Can't be so unlucky!Han Zhengshan secretly felt guilty in his heart, and after a bunch of messy thoughts turned in his mind, he fell into a deep sleep.
"Maybe a war will break out?"
Tan Juren was also discussing local development plans with Roger at this time. He asked Roger to reduce the frequency of recruiting local labor to build military facilities, because this would inevitably delay the progress of other civilian infrastructure projects, but this time Roger gave He gave him a reason that did not seem easy to refute.
"It's just a possibility." Roger explained: "But even if there is a [-]% possibility, we must first make [-]% preparations. I think you also know that during a war or when a war is about to break out, the army's needs are always The one in the first place. So I can't agree to your request just now."
What Roger was talking about was a basic principle established by the executive committee at the beginning of the time travel, in order to concentrate superior resources during wartime and ensure that Haihan, which was still very weak at that time, would not be torn apart by the war.However, among the senior management of Haihan, the military has always been strong, so this basic principle has been retained afterwards. strive for the greatest benefit.
Tan Juren calmed down quickly. He didn't immediately listen to Luo Jie's words. There were many precedents for the military to use this name to seek benefits for themselves. Before Luo Jie showed evidence, he still had reservations about it.
"I didn't hear any news about this before going south, and I've been in Xingdao for a few days, why are you telling me about this now?" Tan Juren questioned Roger unhurriedly.
"I also said that there are only some rumors and signs now, and it is impossible to determine when and where the war will start. If I report unconfirmed news to the report, then if nothing happens in the end, I will become a stalker." Have you made a move?" Roger immediately retorted: "But if you really have to wait until the confirmation to start preparing for the battle, then it may be too late!"
"Then are you sure this is not a joke?" Tan Juren asked.
"I won't make jokes about military affairs." Roger said solemnly: "If it wasn't like this, why should I organize and train the militia in such a hurry? Wouldn't it be good to let them build bridges and pave roads when they have this time?"
Seeing that he spoke seriously, Tan Juren couldn't help becoming nervous: "Then who is planning to fight against us?"
Roger said: "This matter is a bit complicated to say. At present, the most obvious hostile attitude towards us is the Johor Sultanate in the north. But I think they are not enough to challenge us on their own, so there should be something different. The power behind them supports them."
"Johor? I remember that when the South China Sea Trade Alliance was established, Johor also sent representatives to Ambuna Island to attend the meeting?" Tan Juren replied while recalling.
"Johor is now also an observer state of the South China Sea Trade Alliance." Roger added: "Although they did not directly participate in the alliance, they actually have bilateral agreements with some countries in the alliance. In the past two years, the alliance has held meetings on Ambuna Island , they all sent people to attend.”
