Yin Feng came to Quanzhou the day after he was attacked and occupied by Quanzhou City.

Before the soldiers of Fuzhou, Jiangxi surrendered that night, the Chinese army sailors and musket teams patrolled the streets and beat the gong to send several bans led by the president of the Chinese army. After dawn, Lin Xiao and Zeng Shan first led a large group of civilian officials and 200 Yin Fengs The personal guards entered the city and used the Quanzhou Prefecture Office as Yin Feng's temporary old camp. In the evening, Yin Feng entered Quanzhou City in a low-key manner.

At this time, the streets and intersections of Quanzhou were posted on the name of Yin Feng and the announcement of the six major oaths. Now the scholars and citizens in the city knew that it was the Chinese army that occupied Quanzhou, and the army had good discipline after breaking the city. The "King's Army" mentioned by the ancients, and when they heard the patrol soldiers' instructions along the streets, the people felt more at ease.

In fact, Quanzhou people were very grateful for the Chinese company's initiative to take the initiative to provide relief during the earthquake. Many Quanzhou people have made a living in shops, grain stores, shipyards, silk weaving workshops and other places under Huaxing Lianhao, and many people have also made a living. I have been to Taiwan and have no stranger to the Chinese army. At first, people quietly peeked out through the crack of the door. Then, a small civilian household or a brave man opened half of the door and poked his head out. Someone walked out, looked boldly, asked each other about the neighbors, and then there was a place where Baojia beat the gong and paging, saying: "The Chinese army had entered the city at Si 1 this morning. The people should clean the streets and welcome the President of the Chinese Army, Lord Yin. , no mistakes,"

There are also places that ask people to knock on the door and puppet at the homes living in deep courtyards, for fear that the gentry's homes will not be clear about the situation and will offend the Chinese army and cause trouble.

So Quanzhou City quickly regained its vitality, and suddenly there was a scene of a change of dynasty. The civilians were excited and felt relieved secretly; officials, gentlemen, and nobles were worried and afraid, waiting for the arrangement of their destiny.

After Yin Feng entered the city, he was busy with various affairs. The Zeng family took time to go to the north gate and sighed at the ruins of his house. Zeng Qi even asked Yin Feng to investigate among the prisoners of Fuzhou soldiers and soldiers.

But Yin Feng did not send anyone to investigate, and even looked at the ruins of his own house. Seeing Zeng Qi's expression full of unhappiness, he persuaded: "My father-in-law, the house is burning, I will build another building for you. , the person in charge is the deputy general of Jiangxi. He is now in Fuzhou. Those soldiers who set fire to the fire are just following the intention of Shangguan, so there is no need to investigate,"

Zeng Qi sighed: "My Zeng family's old house has been in the North Gate for more than 80 years, and it was still established in my grandfather's generation. Now, hey... forget it, you are right, those who do big things will not be restricted. Small records, we have just started the cause, and the people of the world have not returned yet. These little things are not worth mentioning, so there is no need to pursue them," he shook his head and said, "I am here to see you to tell you: the secret envoy sent to Fuzhou has set out, but now Fujian is The general is honest and foremost. This person will definitely not give up on Fuzhou easily.”

Yin Feng smiled: "It doesn't matter. We attacked the southeast coast from multiple ways and went to Fuzhou to ask for Fuzhou to be given up. These are all tricks. The real heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty was just after the sea wind direction changed a few months later."

"The court is mobilizing a large army..."

"The Qianlihai Defense Line is also alerted. Even if the imperial court has a million troops, how can it guard every coast?" Yin Feng sneered: "The Chinese army is not a Japanese pirate. We will not attack in full without a focus, nor will we? They will burn, kill and plunder on the coastline. I am afraid that no one in the Ming Dynasty can think of our combat goals,"

...

Since he decided to rebel three years ago, Yin Feng has done his best to rack his brains to open his golden fingers; many years ago, Yin Feng picked up ballistics and metal smelting from Western science and technology books translated by Jinnige. As well as some books on gunpowder manufacturing, as textbooks for military weapons department in the military academy, the military weapon department has now been independently established as the Military Academic Weapon Branch, and a new group of graduates have all entered the Weapon Research Institute.

Some European craftsmen brought by the first European merchant fleet when they returned also entered the Weapon Research Department. With the joint efforts of Chinese and Western weapons researchers, they used light field flowering howitzers made of cast iron and heavy siege mortars "Sky Fire" After being invented and manufactured one after another, the Chinese artillery was joined. Of course, Yin Feng also made many "inventions" in military technology. The biggest achievement was the birth of artillery observation balloons. The Chinese artillery observers were originally viewed by sailors. He served as a member and used the method of erecting masts on the ground to observe and command. Yin Feng painted silk and heated it with charcoal fire and oil to make hot air balloons.

The first driver of the hot air balloon was Yin Feng himself. No one dared to sit on the hot air balloon at that time. After using a human-powered blower for a long time, the balloon finally bulged up. After half a day of heating, the hot air balloon finally rose. Sky.

Such a rough and ugly balloon could slowly rise to the sky, which surprised the audience below so much that they all lost their ability to speak. Many people had kneeled down on the ground and kept kowtowing. Yin Feng was later transformed into a god who came to heaven and earth. It's right.

Now the military academy is divided into six branches, including infantry, navy, cavalry, artillery, weapons, command, etc., forming a complete military education system. A large number of non-commissioned officers trained by military academy and trained intern officers have joined the army.

The Chinese army is now divided into five major types of infantry, naval army, naval marine (that is, the sailor musket team, those generals are used to this title), artillery, cavalry and other five units. The number of infantry is the largest, divided into local garrison troops-Zhuangding team, guarding The team (the garrison team) and the field troops have established three divisions (a total of six brigades), as well as Hainan brigades (the fifth regiment of Hainan Island upgraded), and Nanyang brigades (stationed on Java Island The 4th Regiment of Zhao Xuanming was adapted into two independent brigades, including the Ryukyu regiment, a Taiwanese regiment composed of the Siraya tribe, the Big Bible tribe, and the Zou tribe (the Taiwanese indigenous people showed their strength in the Battle of Hainan Therefore, the indigenous camp was expanded), the indigenous camp of Bangbangya in Luzon, the Li army camp reorganized after the surrender of the rebels, the Yiwu Bird Gun Barracks and other independent regiments, with a total force of 45,000, and the infantry general manager was Zhao Tie (also commander of the First Division), now the position of "chief" has been renamed "general manager", which is the result of learning from the Tang Dynasty in the official title.

Artillery is now the most important killer weapon of the Chinese army. The organization has rapidly expanded into one brigade and has three professional artillery regiments under its jurisdiction, each with more than 120 various artillery pieces, which does not include the rocket troops temporarily organized by some of the former battalions. The artillery chief was Li Kuiqi, and the deputy chief was an old comrade-in-arms of the Portuguese mercenary Colonel Andre Coutre.

The navy is now the first fleet (located in Naha Port, Ryukyu Island, commonly known as the Northern Fleet), the second fleet (located in Wugang, Taiwan), and the third fleet (located in Manila, known as the Nanyang Fleet), and the three fleets, including the first fleet (located in the sea of ​​East Asia, known as the Nanyang Fleet), and the three fleet (located in Manila, known as the Nanyang Fleet), and the three fleets traverse the waters of East Asia. The king has no opponents, with a total of eleven main warships, more than 200 second-class three-masted gunboats, nearly a thousand clutched ships and small patrol ships, and a total of 4,000-5,000 large and small guns, which is on the sea surface of China in history. Although the most powerful naval fleet is Mai Dahai, many things are now under the responsibility of Ye Hua, deputy general manager.

The Mariner Musket Team - Yin Feng served as the general manager of the Marine Corps. This is because most of the sailors fight in various places and are under the command of the Chinese company institutions and supervisors in the place of the troops. Therefore, the position of the General Manager is only responsible for recruiting and training. There is no specific command at all. The sailors and musket teams are divided into the three corpses of Beiyang, Taiwan and Nanyang, and are respectively assigned to the direct command of the three major fleets. There are more than 180 sentries and nearly 20,000 troops. However, some of these sailors still have to be in The sailor work on the ship is not the Marines who have completely separated from ships in later generations.

The chief cavalry commander was Lu Xiaotian, a nephew of Lu Shitou. He used to be the Shandong Xiangma, and the deputy chief was the Dutch mercenary Richard Andrew. Speaking of which, this cavalry unit with only one cavalry regiment is the weakest unit of the Chinese army. ,The total strength is only one thousand now, there are hundreds of the best Andalusian war horses, and there are heavy cavalry, horses and men wearing heavy armor. Generally, light cavalry is also the standard for one person and two horses, equipped with flintlock pistols. Grenades, spears, big swords and other weapons; the entire cavalry team consumes more military expenditure than 4,000 infantrymen in a brigade.

The rapid advancement of Chinese military technology has reached its limit by now. Although thunder and mercury fire powder, rifled guns, etc. have been "invented", if you really want to use these technologies on a large scale, you have to wait until materials and chemistry. Only when the level reaches a certain level can it be possible.

Long Huamin visited Yin Feng several times accompanied by Juventus and Jinnige, but Yin Feng insisted on the agreement signed by the company and the Jesuits: The Jesuits must provide teachers to teach Chinese students, otherwise they will not be allowed to preach. He firmly rejected Long Hua The people's request for the increase of Taiwan churches does not allow the Jesus to be involved in the South Asian colonies except Luzon, unless they can provide more teachers who teach scientific knowledge.

Long Huamin visited the military academy, the Enlightenment School, the Technical Academy and the Political Academy newly opened to train civilian administrative officials. He keenly discovered that various schools generally taught the knowledge of the entire volume of "Geometric Originals", because of the combination of The practical content of Chinese traditional Nine Chapters arithmetic, especially students from artillery branches, is also very advanced in the world in mastering mathematical knowledge. The Ming Dynasty was the beginning of the comprehensive backwardness of Chinese mathematics and lacks it in the scope of traditional mathematics. Make achievements, and now the Chinese students in the jurisdiction of China Company have caught up with a new height of world mathematics.

Long Huamin was very surprised: Even compared with Europe, students of China Company have a very high degree of mastery of mathematics. Just 100 years ago, students from famous universities such as the University of Paris and Oxford learned mathematics. There is very little content, geometry is limited to the first two volumes of "The Original Geometry", and the exam is limited to the first volume. Generally, students can only master the first four propositions of the first volume.

The arithmetic level is lower. Generally, college students only know how to add, subtract and multiplication, but do not use division to calculate. The situation in Europe has improved a lot now, but only a few outstanding students have truly mastered all the knowledge of "The Original Geometry".

After personally experiencing the rebellion of the Chinese company, Long Huamin almost lost confidence in the missionary cause in Taiwan. Moreover, with the civil war between the Chinese company and the Ming court, the Jesus will be in the entire territory of China and East Asia. Missionary policies have to be discussed again.
