Although Ha Jianyi's trip to Hangzhou was a temporary task, he still got some relevant information before departure, and read it many times on the way, and he already had an idea of the situation of the troops stationed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. General understanding.
According to Haihan's current interim administrative plan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and most of Anhui are included in the jurisdiction of the East China Sea Region.But in fact, the strength of the East China Sea region is not enough to take over such a vast area in a short period of time, so currently only a few big cities such as Hangzhou have established Haihan troops stationed.In most places, the original Daming Guards are still armed to maintain local defense, and the Haihan Army will gradually restructure and reorganize them. The entire handover process may even take several years.
Since Shi Diwen has moved the government of the East China Sea Region to Hangzhou, and this will become the new capital of the Haihan Kingdom in the future, the troops currently stationed in Hangzhou are the elite of the East China Sea Region. The seventh division of the army brought out by the direct line of troops.
Responsible for the defense of Hangzhou City and its surrounding areas are two regiments under the Seventh Division of the Army, as well as a guard battalion stationed in the city, which is responsible for Shi Diwen's security affairs.
In addition, the Marine Corps under the East China Sea Fleet also has a battalion stationed near the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to the east of Hangzhou City, responsible for protecting local shipping safety.
At present, Haihan's garrison strength in the entire Hangzhou area is maintained at about 4000. If necessary, reinforcements can be quickly obtained from Ningbo. It only takes more than a day for the garrison at the Zhoushan base to arrive in Hangzhou by boat.
The base in the south of Hangzhou that Ha Jianyi and Wang Anguo visited today is the main base of the two infantry regiments responsible for the city defense of Hangzhou.The second lieutenant officer who led them into the base gave them a brief introduction to the situation of the base on the way to the headquarters.
Before Haihan took over this base, it was the camp of the Ming Army stationed in Hangzhou. After the Haihan Army stationed in Hangzhou, some members of the local Ming Army had already been sent home, and the remaining selected personnel were scattered and accepted by Haihan. Reorganization and transformation of the army.
"The people who are being trained are the soldiers of the former Ming army." When passing by the training ground, the second lieutenant pointed to the troops who were training there.
Ha Jianyi and Wang Anguo turned their heads when they heard the words, and saw that the trainees were receiving the most basic queue training, constantly changing their movements according to the instructions of the whistle, and there were occasional voices of instructors scolding.
Selecting personnel with good qualifications from the surrendered troops for reorganization training will undoubtedly have better results than recruiting new recruits. This is also the successful experience of the Haihan Army in the past.Due to taking over a large area of the former Ming's territory in a short period of time, there is still a huge demand gap in Haihan's current troop size. Concentrating on the transformation of the former Ming's troops is probably the fastest way to achieve results.
However, there were too many problems in the army during the Ming Dynasty, and the quality of the soldiers was also uneven. In many places, there were old, weak and disabled soldiers.It is certainly impossible to accept all the requirements of the Haihan Army for soldiers.Only about one-fifth of the original Ming army establishment was able to stay for training.Although the military quality and reliability of these people are far from meeting the requirements of the Haihan Army, at least their physical conditions are reasonable and they can withstand a certain intensity of military training.
The second lieutenant brought the two of them to the base headquarters and introduced them to the commander on duty today, Dai Chengrong, head of the Second Regiment of the Seventh Division of the Army.
Among the relevant materials that Ha Jianyi saw on the way to Hangzhou, there was an introduction of this leader Dai, and he knew that the experience of this leader Dai was quite legendary.
Dai Chengrong was not from the traditional Haihan ruled area, but from a salt merchant family in Yangzhou. His father, Dai Yingda, was a representative of Yangzhou Hui nationality salt merchants.In the past, Haihan and Yangzhou salt merchants had fierce conflicts in order to compete for the salt industry market, and finally reached a cooperation agreement with Huizhou salt merchants, and Dai Yingda was the key figure in it.
Although Dai Chengrong was still very young at that time, he had already been entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the family, and he was appointed as the commander of the Daijiazhuang Musketeers.Later, after the situation in Yangzhou stabilized, Dai Chengrong went to Zhoushan to receive formal military training.It doesn't matter if you go this time, after seeing the true strength of the Haihan Army in Zhoushan, Dai Chengrong decisively decided to join the army and become a member of the Haihan Army.
Dai Chengrong knew that he had a special background and it was not easy to gain Haihan's trust, so he worked extra hard after enlisting in the army. Whether training or performing combat missions, he always rushed to the forefront.
Later, during the battle between Haihan and the Qing Dynasty, Dai Chengrong was also transferred to Liaodong to participate in the round of battles, and made many military exploits. After returning to Zhejiang, he also got the opportunity to study at the Military Academy in Sanya.After returning from training in Sanya, he was promoted by Shi Diwen to be the head of the regiment. There are three battalions under his command with a total of more than 600 people.This should be placed during the reign of the Ming Dynasty, which is almost equivalent to the level of a guard commander.
There are quite a few people from the Ming Dynasty in the Haihan Army, and even many senior officers are naturalized civilians from the Ming Dynasty, but Dai Chengrong, who was born in a wealthy business family, has become a well-known rich man in the Haihan Army. Not too often.
After Ha Jianyi had read Dai Chengrong's resume, he had a deep impression on him because of this.But when I saw him today, I found that the other party was not like the decisive and brutal man he had imagined, but more like a civilian military officer.
This Dai Chengrong was quite cautious. After listening to his subordinates explaining the identities and intentions of Ha Jianyi and Wang Anguo, he carefully checked their letters of introduction and military officer certificates, and then invited them to sit down and asked the orderlies to serve hot tea.
Dai Chengrong didn't know Ha Jianyi's background very well, but he was very clear about Wang Anguo's identity.Back then, the advance fleet commanded by Tom Wang was preparing in Zhoushan, so the fleet headquarters was also located in Dinghai Port. Although Dai Chengrong didn't know Wang Anguo, he knew that he was the son of Tom Wang, the commander of the navy, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect.
And Ha Jianyi's identity is a senior staff officer of the Ministry of National Defense, an "imperial envoy" sent by Sanya to Hangzhou to inspect military affairs. Dai Chengrong saw that he was so young and came with Wang Anguo, so his identity would not be simple.He had been to Sanya before, and he knew that the place was full of relatives of the emperor. Maybe this young man had a background that he couldn't afford to offend, so he had to be careful.So although the ranks of the two young officers were three ranks lower than Dai Chengrong's, Dai Chengrong did not put on airs of a superior at all, and patiently chatted with the two of them.
