Anyway, it is enough to have a PHS for temporary use. According to the bosses of the interim management committee, there is no need to focus on developing the electronics industry for the time being.
In order to prevent the war from going unfavorable, every farm and factory began to conduct military training for workers and carry out militia plans.
Work as usual every morning and afternoon, but after dinner, the military team will organize training.
Of course, this military training also has benefits. Workers who participate in military training will receive additional military training subsidies every month. In the past, farms and factories only provided one meal at noon. After the militia plan was launched, breakfast and dinner were also provided.
.
This made the naturalized migrant workers not only have no resistance to the additional military training, but also became more enthusiastic about participating.
This is not surprising. If you can receive an extra 5 cents of military training subsidy every month, your family can eat several more meals.
Besides, there are no entertainment activities at night these days. When everyone gets home, they are either busy making people or sleeping with the lights on.
Now I have two hours of military training. When I get home, I go to sleep, so I don't delay anything important.
After the arrangements were made, the dock area continued to work, produce, and study.
But the big bosses of the Provisional Management Committee are worried.
If this battle doesn't break out for a day, the bosses won't be able to relax.
But Nanhaiwei's dispatch of troops was surprisingly slow.
More than half a month had passed since the confirmation news was received, and the Weiyou Qianhu Institute located near Lingao slowly started to make some noise.
The Ming army, numbering more than six hundred, set out wearing tattered mandarin duck war robes and carrying rusty weapons.
The straight-line distance from Lingao to the dock area is about 50 kilometers, and the hidden sentry arranged by Sun Xuebin is at Zangfu Mountain, which is less than ten kilometers away from Lingao.
But on this road of less than ten kilometers, more than 600 people from Weiyou Qianhusuo walked for a whole day!
This speed is really good.
After seeing the Ming army, the news was quickly passed back through the PHS.
The total number of the Ming army was about 630, including more than 60 archers, more than 30 gunmen, and more than 100 sword and shield men. Except for a dozen officers riding short war horses, the rest were all spears
hand.
The entire march was sparse and chaotic. From time to time, soldiers would sit on the roadside to rest, completely ignoring that this would disrupt the marching discipline.
This is normal. Compared with some elite Ming troops, the Ming troops here have not fought in a long time.
In the past, there were still Li and Miao people making trouble from time to time, but in recent years, the Li and Miao people have become much more honest.
Moreover, lax armament was originally a major feature of the Ming army in the middle and later stages.
As I said before, the current military household is no longer what it was when the dynasty was first established.
The vast majority of military households are used by superior officers as their personal slaves. Their life is to help farmers from hundreds of households and thousands of households from time to time, but they have less time to take care of their own fields.
These military households are not so much soldiers as they are a group of farmers, and they are also a group of malnourished farmers.
Their life is even worse than that of some tenant farmers.
This is one of the reasons why military households fled in large numbers in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
To be honest, the Weihou Qianhu Residence was able to recruit more than 600 people at one go, which has exceeded the expectations of many bigwigs in the interim management committee.
According to previous calculations, the Weihou Qianhu Station can only recruit more than 400 people at most.
After all, eating empty pay and drinking soldiers' blood is the consistent way of those masters from thousands or hundreds of households, and it has been passed down for more than two hundred years.
However, even though there were about 200 more people, Sun Xuebin, who was in charge of front-line military command, was not too worried.
Because at this time, only the Qianhu Post of Weihou sent troops, while the Qianhu Post of Weizuo in Anding and the Qianhu Post of Weiqian in Chengmai were still slowly preparing.
This also gave Sun Xuebin the opportunity to focus on attacking all the way and defeat them separately!
After all, if these three thousand households sent troops at the same time, Sun Xuebin would really have a headache.
After all, although the troops he has now are not small, most of them are new soldiers, and even the first batch of veterans have never fought in a war.
Soldiers who have never fought in a war and have seen blood are still new soldiers in his eyes.
After taking a car to inspect multiple locations along the way, Meirenling, 25 kilometers away from Lingao and 30 kilometers away from the dock area, was selected as the location for the ambush.
There are continuous hills on both sides of Meiren Ridge, more than 100 meters high, which can be climbed. However, there is Meiren Ridge that can be passed directly. Those Ming soldiers who are not in physical strength will never choose to climb over the mountains.
Transported by more than a dozen large trucks, a veteran camp and a new recruit camp were transported to Beauty Ridge in less than three hours.
Under the command of the Chuan officers, these more than 500 soldiers began to dig earth and pile rocks in Meiren Ridge to build fortifications.
Of course, this fortification is actually a very simple one.
It is a chest-high wall made of earth and stone. Soldiers can directly mount their rifles on the wall and shoot.
This is naturally more accurate than shooting with a rifle.
In addition to this fortification, Sun Xuebin also arranged four large trucks and eighty soldiers outside Meiren Ridge.
Once the Ming army guarding Qianhu Station was defeated in Meiren Ridge, these four large trucks and eighty soldiers would have to take on the task of outflanking the enemy's retreat.
Well, in order to rest, well, to examine the effectiveness of the Napoleon cannon in actual land combat, Fang Xiaoyue and several technicians mainly responsible for firearms and artillery design also joined in this time.
However, Sun Xuebin did not allow Fang Xiaoyue and others to join the front-line battle at all. He was not even allowed to go to the front-line to watch the battle. He only allowed them to watch the battle with binoculars on the hills on both sides of Meiren Ridge.
No way, Sun Xuebin was also worried. Once this war started, guns and artillery were not very discerning.
Why do you say that there are dozens of gunmen in the Qianhu Station of Weihou?
Although the power of those fire cannons can reach up to seventy or eighty meters, who knows, if something bad happens, Sun Xuebin feels that he will not be able to talk to Zhang Feifei alive.
Although Zhang Feifei looks like a frail scholar, he is usually kind to others and interesting to talk to, but if he really gets angry, Sun Xuebin will feel chills on his back.
Perhaps because they felt that the marching speed was too slow and a bit embarrassing, or perhaps because of the urging of the officials and the offer of rewards, the marching speed of the more than 600 people at the Qianhu Station in the rear guard increased a bit the next day.
In the evening, we finally arrived at Meirenling.
Generally speaking, when marching, generals will always be more cautious and will send out sentries to detect the situation in advance when encountering mountains, forests and other places.
But the good thing about Qianhu, the guard, may be that he saw that Meiren Ridge was suitable for camping, and also saw that it was getting late, so he didn't even send a sentry to go to Meiren Ridge to check, and just camped and rested outside Meiren Ridge in a chaotic manner.
