Chapter 3196

The first unit that followed the three clearing vehicles into Victory Square was affiliated with the 7th Army Division of the Donghai Region.

The predecessor of that unit was the first company to land on Zhoushan Island when Qian Tiandun and Shi Diwen jointly attacked Zhoushan in 1633. After the war, the company, together with Shi Diwen, was stationed in Zhoushan and gradually developed

Become the main armed force of the Donghai Region.

The Second Regiment under the East Administration of Lu Qi Division was stationed as a garrison outside Hangzhou.

The Lu Qi Division that people usually see usually does not carry individual weapons, but in tomorrow's military parade, the Lu Qi Division unabashedly showed off its wealth and pulled dozens of large and small weapons at one go.

Small artillery appears.

Those who entered the square closely behind were the Haibu Camp of the Navy's East China Sea Fleet.

Although many ships of the East China Sea Fleet cannot directly participate in this military parade, the equipment of the Haibu Battalion is not inferior to that of the army, and there are also many weapons.

Even the few small-caliber field guns pulled by the packhorses at the end of the company are the same as those of the Seventh Army Division. They are the latest models that have not yet been installed by many overseas garrison troops.

The two troops are stationed in the Donghai region all year round, and it goes without saying that they are well-known in the local area. When they entered the venue, the tens of thousands of people watching gave out warm cheers.

Obviously many local people have regarded these troops as the face of their own country. The more majestic they are on the parade ground, the more proud they will be.

After those two troops, the local troops under the eastern jurisdiction of the Donghai Region appeared one after another.

The current jurisdiction of the Donghai Region includes 11 prefectures including Hangzhou, Wenzhou, Taizhou, Ningbo, Jiaxing, Shaoxing, Jinhua, Chuzhou, Quzhou, Yanzhou, and Huzhou, which were originally part of Zhejiang Province, and Huai'an, Yangzhou, which were originally part of Jianghuai Province.

Parts of seven state capitals including Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Guangzhou, and Huizhou.

At the beginning, most of the local troops were formed from the local guard troops who were added to the local regiment training. Although the quality of those soldiers was not very good, they could not deal with local public security problems. Even Hangzhou's current city defense army has quite a few

Some of them had served in the Ming army.

In recent years, after gradually recruiting new soldiers and eliminating and replacing a group of veterans, local garrisons have truly begun to integrate into the Haihan Army system.

However, the equipment level of those local garrison forces was obviously much lower than that of main battle units like the Lu Qi Division.

The weapons equipped by some troops are even the Type 28 flintlock rifles that are older than the Type 33. The artillery also has some old-style muzzle-loading guns. Those guns may be considered good heavy equipment in the Ming army, but

Compared with the Haihan regular army, it is definitely inferior.

It is more than enough for Bu Nao to use those weapons to maintain public order in Yidong and eliminate bandits and bandits. When it is really necessary to carry out large-scale armed operations, there is no need for them to take the lead on the battlefield.

In addition, the Tokai region has two overseas jurisdictions, namely Jeju and Sasebo, which are mainly military bases. This is the plan of Jiji Shiji.

Jeju Island lacks a natural harbor, but the environment on the island is very suitable for horse breeding. In the early years, Harukong personally led a team to Jeju Island to build a horse farm. It is now known that the local area can provide thousands of horses for various purposes every year.

It is one of the most highly sought-after sources of military horses for the Haihan Army.

The troops coming from Jeju Island also highlighted this characteristic. They were a cavalry company all equipped with tall horses. Although the troops may not have actually stepped into the battlefield, at least they looked quite majestic.

Although the commander of the Sasebo base, Amakusa Shiro, did not come back in person, he sent his eldest son, Amakusa Masaru, to lead the team. The biggest feature of the overseas garrison was that it attracted many young men from Tsukimoto to join the army.

The several Tsukimoto envoys in the stands finally couldn't hold back when they saw the troops coming on stage, and stood up and waved their legs in greeting.

Someone asked curiously: "What about the Hai-Han Army? Why are we so excited?"

Seijiro Kosaki, who came from Nagasaki, explained: "Because there are children of their Kosaki family there!"

The envoy of Cuoma Fan next to him said: "There are also children of their clan!"

Someone questioned: "We send our children to Haihan's army, but with their background, will they be able to gain Haihan's trust in a month?"

Seijiro Kozaki said: "What does that matter? Whether Lord Amakusa of Sasebo is from Kyushu Island does not prevent him from becoming a Kaihan citizen and becoming the general of Kaihan!"

Yandong means that those descendants of the nobles of the vassal country who join the Kaihan Army may become big figures with military power in Kaihan like Amakusa Shiro in the month later. The protection and help that can be provided to the family at that time will be very difficult.

It’s worth looking forward to.

In the past, overseas countries wanted to use Haihan to cultivate their own strength, so they often tried to send their children to Haihan to study abroad, in order to acquire various advanced knowledge and gradually build connections from the younger generation.

However, those vassal states in the western part of Tsukimoto clearly have new plans. They will send noble children to Sasebo to enlist in the army to directly naturalize as Kaihan and seek opportunities for development in the Kaihan army. This is much more radical than the traditional study abroad model.

.

Bu Nao's approach was not just because those vassal states were greedy for success, but they were indeed facing great pressure to survive.

Outside Japan, the Tokugawa shogunate was gaining strength, and local vassal states that tried to resist it often ended up being conquered by large armies.

If Kaihan's Sasebo base had not existed, Tokugawa Ietsuna, the fourth shogunate of the shogunate, would have sent troops to Kyushu Island long ago to attack those local vassal states that had always violated the shogunate's rule.

If they want to protect themselves, the best way is to cling to Kaihan's thigh. And if they want to gain influence over Kaihan, there is no way to imitate Takahashi Minami, Amakusa Shiro and others, and directly become the military leader in Kaihan.

of big shots.

The scene that appeared on the viewing platform next to it naturally fell into the eyes of everyone on the executive committee.

Shi Diwen took the initiative to explain why Envoy Yueben was so excited. After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh that Haihan's influence overseas has reached such an extent.

Ning Qi smiled and said: "Then I have to be careful. Although they are quite good at flattering now, the tradition of the Japanese is to use Dongke. One day they feel that they have accumulated enough strength, and they will no longer be willing to accept others."

East!"

Shi Diwen nodded and said: "He understands that truth, so the troops stationed in Sasebo have always been dominated by Han people. The moon-born soldiers they recruited will be transferred after a period of service.

Leaving Sasebo and being assigned to station elsewhere."

"For example, if you send them to North Korea to deal with the local disobedient forces, the effect will be very good. Whether they have a feud with the North Koreans or not, they don't have to worry about colluding with the locals. Some of the dirty work that they are inconvenient to do can be left to them.

It’s just right for them to do it.”
