Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xue Puzheng was talking to Zhao Wu, and Zhao Yuan, the commander of the Pioneer Camp Weizi Banner, brought the north side over.  When Pang Ning's fleet passed through Chishan Port on its return journey, it forced Lu Ce to have a thousand war horses.  During the battle to defend Chishan Port, the Pioneer Battalion~Zi Banner Cavalry was completely lost, and was later simply reduced to a standard "division" of two hundred people.  Without the cavalry, the war horses were distributed to officers at all levels in the Pioneer Battalion, so Zhao Yuan and his party were all riding good horses.

    The big horse looks majestic and majestic, but it is not fast on urban roads with dense crowds of people.  The group of people finally got close. Zhao Yuan jumped off his horse and asked for instructions, "Your Highness, my master said that the ceremony is about to begin. Please come over."

    Dong Xuepu then remembered what happened to Lu Ce.  Looking at the street, except for the businessmen recruiting workers and the last hundred or so hesitant Liao people, there were almost no citizens wandering around. I think they were all attracted to the square.  Dong Xuepu nodded and said, "This is business, Zhao Wu, let's go there quickly."

    What Lu Ce built was the Nanhai Martyrs Monument.

    When Lu Ce suddenly returned to Fucheng two months ago and proposed to Dong Xuepu to build a monument to the martyrs, Dong Xuepu was still worried about funding.  But Lu Ce did not ask the government for money. He took out 20,000 taels from the military property in the Pioneer Camp and bought a shop in the south of the square and demolished it to the ground.  Another 70,000 taels were spent to build this majestic monument to the heroes on the flat land after demolition.

    This is the military soul of the Pioneer Battalion, which cannot be measured with money.  Unlike Gaishui Camp, the military spirit of Pioneer Camp cannot be maintained by money.

    The core components of Gaishui Camp are the first and second batch of refugees recruited from Wuyuan Valley.  As its name suggests, the predecessor of this unit was just a group of water conservancy workers for a long time.  The reason why they changed from labor service to military service was because Zhou Tianzhi attacked the Wuyuan Valley, and when the time travelers faced the pressure of survival, the whole valley was mobilized.  At that time, the Gaishui Battalion was not so much an army as it was a labor force that followed the Pioneer Battalion.

    But in the battle to defend Fucheng, Gaishuiying did fight alone.  A miscellaneous army that was temporarily launched and expanded, but defended the city with huge sacrifices.  In the absence of grassroots officers, the reason why Gaishuiying was able to quickly become a force that dared to fight within one or two years was because Qin Mingtao never miscalculated step by step.

    When Zhou Tianzhi came, Qin Mingtao didn't even believe that Gaishuiying could face it bravely, so he only let these civilians throw grenades on the city wall.  Facing the second encirclement and suppression of the Guangdong and Guangxi Guards Forces, if they change their camps and pull them out to fight in the field, the outcome will definitely be a defeat.  No matter how incompetent the Guards Army is, it cannot be matched by the temporary expansion of civilians who join the army.  At this time, Qin Mingtao chose to stay on the fortified city.

    No matter what time it was, King Dong did not make a mistake and did not let the fragile change of water camp exceed his limit.

    The more you fight in the water camp, the more brave you become.  Now this army even dares to face the golden iron hoof outside Zonghengguan.  This kind of bravery is not the soldiers' trust in their own strength.  Instead, he trusted Qin Mingtao's judgment.  They always believe.  It's Dong Wang who can't make mistakes.  The strength of this force does not lie at the grassroots level.  As long as Qin Mingtao is here.  This kind of trust in the leader will quickly restore the morale of the soldiers.

    "The Pioneer Battalion is different.  Completely different from Gaishuiying.

    Since its establishment six years ago.  Lu Ce defined the vanguard battalion as the military force of the traversers.  The twelve young men surnamed Zhao are the most fundamental strength of the time travellers.  Lu Ce formed a vanguard battalion and took away five of them at once.  From five teenagers to a dozen teenagers.  From dozens of soldiers to hundreds of soldiers.  Gradually it expanded to more than a thousand people.  Five thousand people.  The number of people in the Pioneer Camp is rising little by little.

    Six years of expansion.  Six years of non-stop training and drills.  Let the Pioneer Battalion have qualified grassroots officers and a group of veterans who have fought bloody battles.  Gradually become a high-quality professional army.

    Every soldier here knows how to attack with broadswords and spears.  How to hold on with musket and shield.  They know how to deal with friendly forces.  Know how to cooperate with your comrades.  They know how to disturb the enemy and how to conduct reconnaissance.  Know how to take advantage of battlefield situations to break enemy morale.  They know how to break through enemy defenses and divide their opponents.  How to hold back the enemy's main force and annihilate the surrounded troops.

    They are hunters as cunning as eagles.  A steely brave warrior.  This is an iron army built by Lu Ce.  They trust themselves.  Trust every comrade.  They proudly despised all their enemies.  Believe that you can win the battle.

    This is an army with a soul.  In order to protect Chishan Port, he could bravely face the challenge of the South China Sea Overlord, and in order to win the battle, he could use his five hundred flesh and blood bodies to withstand the impact of six thousand ferocious pirates. They could be proud of their final success, and they could also be proud of what they lost.  The soldiers were sad.

    When Zhao Yi shed all his blood for the front, they chose to cry.

    This is an army with a soul, and it is this soul that makes the Pioneer Battalion extremely powerful.  This kind of military spirit allows the vanguard battalion to still hold on to its position when the battle damage reaches 40 to 50%, and it can survive the loss of its main general.Sea power to get rich.

    The Han people have experienced too much suffering. Maybe they will be cowardly when facing foreigners, and maybe they will retreat when facing the powerful, but the Han people will never forget the benefactor who brought them happiness.  The rain wet their shoulders. The more than 20,000 people gathered in the square raised their faces and stared at the tall monument to the martyrs in silence.  Hundreds more people knelt on the Bluestone Square and knelt before the monument to the heroes and martyrs.

    Zhao Ban¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but feel moist as he held the long knife that Zhao Yi refused to let go of until his death. He didn¡¯t want to lose his composure on such an occasion, so he turned around and shouted loudly at the veterans,

    "Fire!"

    The flying rain could not stop the flames of the spears. One hundred and twenty-seven flintlock guns fired into the sky. The sound of gunfire echoed in the sky of Fucheng, one after another, until the gunpowder was used up and the barrels were red.  , until the veterans¡¯ trembling hands could no longer lift the gun barrel.
