Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 132

Do you have any experience in training foreign national association troops?
To be honest, the vast majority of Dongning people do not have them. Although Zheng Zhilong used to have an 800-strong elite black bird gun guards, and had served thousands of Japanese rogues, Zheng Zhilong didn't know what age it was. up?Now this group of Dongning people are completely different from the group of Zheng Zhilong's men back then.

But since Liu Dapao asked at this time, it must be there.

Isn't it just training, how difficult can it be?At the same time, one by one wanted to smash their chests into pieces, saying that we Dongning people are Daming's own people!

So for a while, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Liu Dapao also understands that these people are just talking nonsense here, but the problem is that he really has no other choice. The matter of joining the army of foreign races was not brought up by him, but by Lao Le and Porter. from.

As the major shareholders of the company and the top ministers of the new Ming Dynasty, Porter and Lao Le are not satisfied with the navy, but also want to form an army. However, they are too small in number after all, and they know that it is impossible for them to recruit the Han army. , so this method was proposed.

It’s hard not to agree to this matter, because Dutch people have already started to move one after another and settled in Chenghai City. Liu Dapao even set aside a so-called embassy area for these big capitalists to live in. In the future, if If everyone cooperates smoothly, there will be more and more foreign capitalists.

Although Liu Dapao asked these foreigners to abide by his Ming laws, these capitalists were not fools after all. There was no need for the army under their direct control to protect them. They were also afraid that Liu Dapao would suddenly overturn the table.

Again, the so-called cooperation has always been based on the fact that neither side can or can turn the table.

Of course, these new troops must be organized by the Ming Dynasty, and they must also be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. At worst, a Dutchman will be appointed as the servant of the Ministry of War in the Ministry of War. These are Liu Dapao's bottom lines.

These matters were negotiated for a long time, and at the same time, they also discussed with them. Among the foreign soldiers they hired, they were mainly from the Japanese country. After all, they have a good relationship with the Japanese people, and to be honest In terms of cultural customs and basic appearance, the Japanese people are relatively close to the Chinese people, so there will not be too many troubles due to cultural differences.

At least better than African black buddies.

However, he just thought, since they are all under the company's rule anyway, whether these foreign confederates are hired or bought from slave owners, don't they all have to cost the company's money?
I am also a shareholder of the company, so why only let you Dutch people spend this money?

Besides, in the current political structure of his new Ming Dynasty, it is destined that he, the prime minister, will be in command in Chaozhou, and the San Francisco and four towns will act as the main force to fight against the Qing Dynasty. , so it seems necessary to have some foreign soldiers.

Besides, he also heard that Zheng Zhilong's black bird guards are not weak in combat, um... Although he has never seen them fight, when he accompanied Zheng Zhilong to Beijing, he was directly given a spoon by Man Qing.

So since we want to recruit foreign nationalities to join the army, it is impossible to let them train in Chaozhou. Even after the army is raised, it is not suitable to place them in Chaozhou. Therefore, the most suitable place to settle them right now is Wanwan.

Most of these generals in Wanwan have some knowledge of foreign languages. Many of them are proficient in at least one or two of Japanese, Latin, English, and Malay, and they are at least more suitable for this job than generals from the mainland. , It can also kill two birds with one stone and solve their psychological small emotional problems.

General Dongning is at least relatively credible.

"King Yanping, King Yanping? King Yanping?"

Chen Jinnan was stunned for a long time before realizing that he was calling himself, and couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "What else can the prime minister order?"

"I suggest that Wanwan accept a certain number of Japanese vagrants, Luzon volunteers, indigenous armed forces in the Philippines and Indonesia, or African Kunlun slaves, and settle down in Chengtian Mansion. King Yanping will work hard to see how to resettle their families , They themselves will be enrolled in the military and our Dongning generals will conduct training in Penghu, and the company will provide you with unconditional financial support or a month later, use the island's natives for training."

"On my side, even if I try my best to delay, I'm afraid there will be another three or four months. I'm afraid I can't delay to raise troops anyway. So I hope that within three months, the local anti-Zheng indigenous regime will be overthrown, and their leaders will be captured alive. What is that... the king with a big belly? Or the general with a big belly?"

"Actual combat is always the best way to train troops. Anyway, they are all aliens. If you kill them, I will make up for you. It will not be a problem if you supply food, grass and weapons. I can assure you here that those who perform outstandingly in this battle After raising the army, you can take the troops and horses of the headquarters and the auxiliary army to go to the inland with me, and you can be promoted to a noble, and stock options are not a problem."

"The king of Yanping County is fully responsible for this matter. You don't have to personally train the foreign confederacy army. You should do a good job of coordinating the overall situation, distributing food, grass and military equipment, and arranging the families of the foreign confederacy army, especially after the anti-Zheng armed forces are eliminated. We must manage these local natives well, let them return to their hearts, don't squeeze them too much, and let Wanwan become a solid rear base for my Ming Dynasty."

After a pause, he said again: "You can rest assured that as long as it can be done, my support for you will definitely be in place. I hope that the King of Yanping County will not let me and His Majesty, the court and the people down."

"Hey, Prime Minister, don't worry, I have always understood the principle that the overall situation is the most important thing."

Seeing this, Liu Guoxuan couldn't help asking: "May I ask the prime minister, can I... also train some foreign allies?"

Liu Dapao smiled and said nothing.

"If you asked me to guard Tingzhou, you must attack Ganzhou. With my strength alone, I'm afraid that I'm not capable enough to do it, but I will miss a major event. I...I, Liu Guoxuan, am loyal to Daming, Prime Minister."

Hearing this, Liu Dapao couldn't help laughing and said: "Of course, of course I know, General Liu, General Liu, you are the pillar of my Ming Dynasty. If this is the case, then... practice first? Do you know Japanese? ?”

"Yes, I will."

"Then... I'll give you a whole batch of Japanese rogues to practice first. If you want anything, just mention it. You won't be short of money, food and equipment, but I also have requirements. Ganzhou is the most important thing. I don't think I need to tell you. I can understand, if you can't beat me, you will die as a martyr under the city of Ganzhou, do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood, Prime Minister, don't worry, Ganzhou can't do it, I would like to come and see you!"

But between these few words, they settled this matter with Liu Guoxuan.

Seeing it, Chen Jinnan felt like he couldn't help but say something: Didn't it be agreed that both Quanzhou and Tingzhou would be reserved for Zheng Jing?
Good guy, don't leave any real power to others.
