Chapter 2542
Dai Chengrong had seen Ha Jianyi's introduction letter before, and knew the purpose of the other party's visit to this base, so he took the initiative to explain the deployment of the second regiment to Ha Jianyi and Wang Anguo.

At present, the three battalions under the Second Regiment implement a rotation system, one battalion is on combat duty, one battalion is on rest, and the other battalion is on daily training, which is rotated every day.The water and land gates, traffic arteries, and defense of official agencies in Hangzhou City are all controlled by the Second Regiment.In addition to the base in the south of the city, there is also a headquarters in the city, which is located next to the Yamen of the Management Committee. In case of emergency, Shi Diwen can personally take command.

The Qingchun Gate that Ha Jianyi walked through when he entered the city in the morning, and the Fengshan Gate that he walked through when he left the city from the south of the city just now, were also the defensive areas of the Second Regiment.Although it is basically just the work of maintaining traffic order, at least one platoon of people has been deployed at each city gate.

Of course, these deployments and daily tasks sound simple, but there are still many details that need to be paid attention to in the actual implementation process.Regardless of personnel or materials, the number of people entering and leaving Hangzhou City every day is much busier than the place where the Second Regiment stayed before. Therefore, the troops also specially conducted relevant training to let the soldiers master the skills of traffic guidance, so that these key Nodes are able to remain unblocked as much as possible.

However, judging from Ha Jianyi's experience when he entered the city in the morning, the work performance of the Second Regiment in terms of traffic control is far from up to the qualified standard, and the traffic congestion at the city gate early in the morning has not been properly resolved , causing Ha Jianyi and others to be blocked for a long time during the process of entering the city.

But what Ha Jianyi cares about is not these trivial matters of people's livelihood, but the current equipment and training of the Hangzhou garrison.

"Just now I saw a former Ming soldier who was training outside, can Commander Dai introduce the situation?" Ha Jianyi took the initiative to ask about the things he was interested in.

Dai Chengrong didn't expect that Ha Jianyi would ask this question, so he hesitated a little before answering: "As for the reorganization of the local ex-Ming soldiers, I only started to take over after I was transferred to Hangzhou last year..."

Since Haihan had done quite a lot of preparatory work before, no large-scale war broke out in the process of taking over Hangzhou, so the process was relatively peaceful. The Ming army stationed in Hangzhou almost went to Haihan without any resistance. The Han army surrendered.

After Dai Chengrong's Second Regiment took over the city defense, they gathered all the disarmed Ming army personnel in the big camp in the south of the city, and classified them.After the identity verification, all personnel can choose to accept dismissal or stay for the next step of reorganization.

Those who accept the demobilization can get different amounts of severance pay according to their military ranks, and then leave Hangzhou to return to their hometowns.Those who choose to stay will be subject to further screening, and the Haihan Army will select those who have qualified physical conditions for reorganization training, and those who are eliminated will also be dismissed.

Similar work is not only carried out in Hangzhou, other cities in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions where the Haihan Army took over the defense are also dealing with the former Ming troops in the same way.According to information obtained by Dai Chengrong, thousands of ex-Ming soldiers were demobilized in Hangzhou alone.

"The personnel selected to stay for training are basically based on their physical condition. Those who are not in good health are basically dismissed directly." Dai Chengrong's statement is exactly the same as that of the second lieutenant who led the way earlier.

Ha Jianyi asked: "Then how did the officers of the Ming Army arrange it?"

Dai Chengrong responded: "I also ask for personal opinions first. If you don't want to serve us, as long as you have not participated in military operations against our country before, you can get the severance pay and leave. If you want to stay in the army and continue to serve, then You also have to pass the assessment first, not only to look at your physical condition, but also to test your basic military quality, and weed out those who are just pretending to be counting."

Ha Jianyi nodded and said, "Is there any relevant list for me to look at next?"

Dai Chengrong called the adjutant and ordered him to fetch relevant information.

The order Ha Jianyi received before departure was actually very general, without any specific content, but it was equivalent to giving him room to play. Since he was inspecting local military affairs, he had the right to intervene in everything. .The transformation and reorganization of soldiers from the former Ming Dynasty is not a military secret, so he doesn't have to worry about inquiring about this matter will involve secrets.

Not long after, Dai Chengrong's adjutant sent a book, and Dai Chengrong introduced that this is the list of former Ming military officers who are currently staying in the army for training.Ha Jianyi opened it to look, and found some problems after a while.

The information recorded in the directory is the most basic personal information, such as name, age, place of origin, original job, resume, etc., and some individuals with outstanding abilities will indicate "good at commanding cavalry", "master artillery sighting technology", etc., and even There is also the former Ming Navy Master Ba Zong who was specially hired because of his "familiarity with the water regime of the Qiantang River".

However, these are not uncommon. The Haihan Army has a tradition of using various special talents. For example, there are many seemingly weak scholars in the research institute under the Ministry of National Defense. They may not even be able to carry a rifle, but These people are good at calculations, and they are responsible for formulating firing schedules for various artillery. Haihan's artillery unit depends on them to display their combat effectiveness. This special skill cannot be learned by ordinary people.

Naturally, Ha Jianyi would not be surprised by this. What he paid attention to was the origins of these officers.

After flipping through two or three pages, Ha Jianyi quickly discovered that at least half of the officers on the roster were from the Yangzhou area.This is not unusual at all, but considering that Dai Chengrong was born in a salt merchant family in Yangzhou, Ha Jianyi thinks it may not be just a coincidence.

"Regimental Commander Dai, can you explain why so many of the retained officers are from Yangzhou?" Ha Jianyi's establishment is not in Hangzhou, so he didn't have to worry about offending Dai Chengrong, so he directly expressed his doubts. come out.

The expression on Dai Chengrong's face obviously hesitated for a moment, which made Ha Jianyi more sure that his doubts should not be a coincidence.

Dai Chengrong replied: "To be honest, we will examine the family background of former Ming military officers when we retain them, but if their hometown is too far away from Hangzhou, or outside our control, it will be difficult to verify. As for Yangzhou... ...It happens to be in my hometown, and there are some special channels that can be used to verify these personal information, so the proportion of Yangzhou-born officers among the last retained officers will be higher."

Dai Chengrong's words were reasonable, but Ha Jianyi always felt that things were not that simple. He tapped his fingers on the notebook, trying to figure out the loopholes in Dai Chengrong's words.
