An infantry battalion, with three hundred soldiers armed with Mauser G98s, can easily deal with more than three thousand enemies, whether in a city or in the field, according to the Department of Military Affairs' simulation.
What's more, they are now equipped with projectiles, which are more lethal when dealing with dense enemies.
What's more, before the conflict between Xinghai Kingdom and the Nanming Zhaowu regime begins, the Nanming Zhaowu regime must also protect the safety of these people.
In fact, in order to ensure the safety of the immigration working group, the Ministry of Military Affairs dispatched three modified steel fishing boats to serve as escort forces.
These three steel fishing boats were converted into gunboats. In addition to the Breaking Waves, the other two were the Julang and the Langhua.
In addition, in order to ensure the food needed for the immigration work, the Ministry of Military Affairs also specially sent fifteen ships as transport ships.
Although the largest of these fortune ships only has 800 pieces of cargo, they should be barely able to maintain the immigration transportation line.
A week later, the blessing boat carrying the immigration working group and Zhang Sanxu slowly docked at the Bailongtan Pier.
Mr. Liu, the governor of Guangdong, personally went to the dock to greet him, and the subsequent meeting between the two parties in the governor's office was very pleasant.
Lord Liu presented the immigration working group with an official document from the Guangdong governor's office. With this official document, the immigration working group was equivalent to receiving official support from the Zhaowu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Well, don’t underestimate the official support of the Zhaowu regime in Nanming.
Even at this time, Nanming had only a few provinces left, and in this small area, there were still two emperors, Yongli and Zhaowu.
But the authority of the Nanming government still exists in the hearts of the common people.
The Ming Dynasty's two hundred years of rule still retains its power.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Zhaowu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty to collect taxes from various places, let alone purchase arms from the Xinghai Kingdom.
In order to let the Xinghai Kingdom Immigration Working Group feel the enthusiasm of the Zhaowu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the governor also specially sent the newly established Biao Camp to accompany the immigration working group members to various places in Guangdong. One was responsible for safety, and the other was to make the other party feel at home.
After all, at this time, it is hard to say what the state of the local governments will be. Governor Liu feels that it is better to be intimidated.
Of course, the newly established standard battalion is far less elite than before.
This is because Emperor Zhaowu decided to train a group of new troops to defend Guangzhou Prefecture in the second batch of new army training. Seeing that the governor was more loyal, he put the newly recruited but untrained troops in
In the standard camp.
But fortunately, even without new training, this standard camp looks capable of bluffing people.
Feikeshi, the leader of the immigration working group, personally sat in Gwangju Prefecture and took charge of the immigration work, while other naturalized personnel under him were in groups of five and went to various places to prepare immigration camps.
In fact, things are going well in various places in Guangdong at this time. Refugees from neighboring Hu Jian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi and others are already coming here.
The reason is very simple. The late Ming Dynasty was originally the Little Ice Age, with cold weather and drought proneness.
This time of year is a time of drought, and fields in some places have already failed to harvest due to weather, locust plagues and other reasons.
As a result, those people who could not see the harvest began to flee in advance.
No way, after so many years of escaping, everyone basically has experience.
Don't wait until the autumn harvest before fleeing.
When we fled during the autumn harvest, all the bark on the trees on the road had been eaten away!
You have to flee as early as possible, otherwise you won't even be able to take a bite of fresh bark and grass.
Feikeshi was sitting still in Guangzhou Prefecture. After sorting out the food that came with the ship, hiring a trading company, and sending some of the food to the newly established refugee gathering points in various places, he started inspection work.
You know, the reason why he went to the trouble and danger this time to come to the territory of Nanming Zhaowu regime was not because he didn't have much future in Nanhai Island.
Working in the department is comfortable, but with those affairs committee members in front, it will be impossible to take the lead in becoming a governor or something.
Besides, Feikeshi was a clerk in the neighborhood committee before time travel. He didn’t have any technical hobbies or expertise. He wasn’t even a military fan. All he knew was his experience working in the neighborhood committee for several years, what he knew about his parents’ shortcomings, etc.
things.
Therefore, this time the Xinghai Kingdom signed an immigration agreement with the Zhaowu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty. When the Senate selected the head of the immigration working group, he took the initiative to stand up. With his advantageous position as a small secretary of the neighborhood committee, after two rounds of competition, he finally won the immigration
Position of task force leader.
Now that he has sat in this position, Feikeshi feels that he must do a good job. Otherwise, if the number of immigrants is too small or some major problems arise, it will have a great impact on his career.
There were as many as fifty infantrymen specifically responsible for protecting him. In addition, he was out on patrol. Governor Liu was afraid that something might happen to the senator, so he sent another hundred people from Biao Camp.
In this way, his patrol style is no less impressive than that of a governor or governor.
One hundred and fifty men and horses surrounded him.
Before he left the South China Sea Island, he did a surprise equestrian training. Although he couldn't do anything like riding and shooting, he still had no problem sitting steadily on the horse and driving on the road.
However, there is no need to ride a horse at the first stop of the tour.
The large group of people took a lucky boat from Bailongtan and went down the river. After arriving at the mouth of the river, they walked east along the coastline and arrived in Chaozhou in two days.
Chaozhou borders Hu Jian and is one of the immigrant gathering points that the Immigration Working Group attaches great importance to.
Because Hu Jian had been captured by the Qing army, there were actually no less than 30,000 to 40,000 refugees who fled from Hu Jian due to the war in the Chaozhou area.
It was only when Feikeshi arrived in Chaozhou that he learned that a month earlier, the local government had closed the city gates and refused to allow refugees to enter the city.
This also caused the refugees to gather outside Chaozhou City.
They dug a large number of underground dens outside the city to serve as shelters. During the day, they wandered around looking for food. At night, they returned to the underground dens and slept soundly.
Because at this time of year, there was plenty of vegetation in the wild, and some large households were giving porridge outside the city, so not many people starved to death.
The naturalized people who had rushed to Chaozhou to establish a refugee camp had already made some achievements.
Within a week, the lucky boats coming from the north had brought 2,000 people back to Nanhai Island.
"2,000 people? That's not enough."
After listening to the reports of the naturalized residents, Feikeshi frowned.
This is still somewhat different from his previous prediction.
According to his speculation, Chaozhou alone should be able to evacuate 5,000 refugees in a week.
