Chapter VIII Guerrilla

It is normal for Fu Yuan’s 23-person servant team to have a tide and a tide without a soldier’s temperament, because they are not soldiers themselves.

He said goodbye to Die Niang from Guangzhou Prefecture all the way to Beishan, and couldn't help but walk with Shao Tingda and others. He rode alone on a horse. When he passed by Yangzhou, he was itchy and he won a lot of money and was targeted by someone. Later, he took out a gun to calm the situation.

This group of people who used canal transportation to make a living in their early years, but later the idle heroes voted for Fu Yuan, took military uniforms in Beiyang, and became Fu Guerrilla's personal soldiers.

It is definitely not possible to let these people fight, but they are quick to do things and have a superficial understanding of their words and expressions. People in the mud know best how to distinguish what is a life-saving straw that can pull themselves out of the sea of ​​suffering.

For Fu Guerrilla, who has nowhere to do anything, they are a group of people who have accomplished their own achievements.

There are many empty houses in Majiagang. In order to avoid the long winter, Magui led his troops to set up two hundred houses near the port like a cat. There are also two settlement camps in Majiagang. Fu Yuan and his group of nearly 500 people can live in settlements not far away after moving the goods.

The advantage of Chinese sailing ships over Western sailing ships is that they require very few sailors. A large marble ship requires only a few people to operate. However, each ship carrying double sailors on their long voyage this time to deal with possible problems.

Fu Yuan, who arrived at Majiagang safely, felt that the entire Beiyang Military Palace was a bit of a big deal, and was obviously scared by the risks Magui had encountered before. As long as he knew the way, avoided the winter with the greatest risks, and did not go too far north, it would not be too difficult for a mere two-month voyage.

There are indeed some risks, but they are not consistent with Chen Mu's careful preparation.

If Ma Gui had prepared so fully, so many people would not have died.

"He won't take revenge anymore, so he wants to ask when we will let them go."

The fireplace in the brick and wooden house was roasting warmly. Fu Yuan stretched out his arms and took off his bear hair cloak and hung it on the wall. The Beiyang military boots stepped on the wooden floor and the sound was dull. He sat on the wooden chair next to Magui, rubbing his hands, and warmed up next to the copper smoker.

He turned his head to Ma Gui and said, "This ship of Western barbarians is all vulgar people who are inexplicable. Apart from fighting, he knows very little things."

Ma Gui's foreign language skills were very poor. He only knew the daily terms of the Ming army compiled by Chen Mu. Their Kuwu Island Banner Army only knew this.

Moreover, there are only three aspects of war, victory, persuading surrender, and a sentence that was very monotonous when I was a child who played a pirate.

But Fu Yuan has a high foreign language level. Although he can't write it, he basically knows what he should say.

The enemy had a lot of choice when they were on the ship. Fu Yuan didn't ask too much, but after these Spanish soldiers got off the ship and were taken away from the ship, he could ask anything.

The result was very disappointing. Fu Yuan's hands were a little warmer. He took two bowls of soju and took a sip before saying to Ma Gui: "I can't ask if I keep it, how to deal with it?"

"By the way, the Western Yi already knew that the Ming army had landed in Yamelica. They discovered the Imperial Ming Banner, so they did not attack northward. They also had the idea of ​​sending this ship to find us."

Ma Gui nodded slowly as he listened to Fu Yuan's words and said, "Then they found it, what do they think after they found it?"

Fu Yuan shook his head and said, "These Western Navy soldiers don't know. Their mission is to find the Ming army. In fact, they don't know whether the Ming army is coming. A Western Army soldier told me that in New Spain, they call this New Spain."

"There has always been a saying here that the natives were separated from China. The natives who worked for them in Mexico would also say so, but they all think that this is what they call Indians returning to their freedom by the name of the Tang people."

"The Western Yi did not believe at all. There were indeed Tang people on this land, but they could tell who was Tang people and who was not Tang people."

Needless to say, anyone can tell the difference between clothes, behavior, and words. In fact, even if they have the same bloodline, they may not be recognized.

Fu Yuan said and laughed, saying, "But don't care how they identify it, Chen Shuai has already made a decision on this matter, and it doesn't matter how they identify it."

Ma Gui nodded first, then said, "What did you say about Shuai Chen?"

"Chen Shuai said that of course they are not Mingren, nor Tangren, but they can be."

It can be, it is very domineering and very imaginative.

But Ma Gui agreed. The people he had met, Mongolians, Jurchens, Koreans, and Western Regions, could be Ming people as long as he was willing to serve the emperor.

It would be fine to add an Amelican.

Ma Gui laughed and said, "Shistor Chen is also interesting. He is very keen to let others fight for the court. The court is not without soldiers. It is probably not enough to say that a million troops may not be enough. These veterans will pick one of them for half a year and have been trained. Can't they gather an expeditionary force of 50,000 people?"

"I really know this. Mr. Chen didn't think about it. Ma Shuai didn't know anything. In recent years, whether it was the provincial capital department, the Beijing camp, the imperial guards, and the north-south martial arts halls, they were the first choice for the transfer of lower-level officers."

"The Beiyang Military Mansion, built for the expedition to the East, has also become the largest training ground for the imperial court. It can train 11,200 soldiers in the two guards every year. This year, Shandong, Beijing Camp, and the imperial guards also sent 1,000 soldiers there to train."

"Ma Shuai, don't think there are few people. There are ten thousand people every year. Second Master is expected to survive when he retires for five years. Those who lack flag officials in various places will recruit them. Small flags, hundreds or even thousands of households can do it."

"Five years later, the trainees who graduated from the martial arts lecture hall will serve as first-level generals and commanders. At that time, there will be new troops from top to bottom. If they lead the troops for another five years, what will the military of the court become?"

"What will the million-dollar army Ma Shuai said then?"

Ma Gui didn't understand. In fact, anyone could see that Fu Yuan said this, the situation was very good... But what does this have to do with the question Ma Gui asked?

However, before Ma Gui asked, Fu Yuan concluded: "All are elites! The army has always been the same. The soldiers at the bottom do the most hard work and can only fill their stomachs. Alas, this kind of person is the same at all times."

"Chen Shuai can't give the people below too much money, so he lets the people below gain skills and find a group of people to do the most hardworking work."

Ma Gui now understood that it was actually to turn the flag army into a flag officer, the flag officer became a general, and to pull another group of people to become a flag army.

This was more than what he could think about. He thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head and left the topic, saying, "I plan to put someone back first, discuss with the Western Yi to use the Zhuangyuan Bridge as the boundary, and then exchange the tribe members of Zhenguanxi for this ship."

For the Zhuangyuan Bridge, Fu Yuan has figured out where the Zhuangyuan Bridge is. As the leader of the pioneer baggage fleet, he also brought a map of Asia drawn by Yang Tingxiang who came back from Spain.

He shook his head and dissuaded: "Ma Shuai should not discuss boundaries with them first. Let Chen Shuai come here. I think with the top scholar bridge as the boundary, Chen Shuai will definitely feel at a loss, a big loss."
