Dengzhou Port, Naval Base, Chen Rongsheng had just finished his cruise and led his men to drive the ship to the port and parked the ship ashore.
"Captain, our new ship has been commissioned for more than two months. It should be going to the Liaodong battlefield for training soon, right?" His first mate came over and asked Chen Rongsheng to inquire about the situation.
"We should be arriving in Liaodong soon. The commander of the base talked with me a few days ago. It is estimated that in a few days we can go to Liaodong to kill thieves. These days, we have to take good care of our ships! Made by the imperial court
The new ship uses many iron beams and is very strong, but it is more troublesome to operate, so we need to be more skilled."
"By the way, when we get to Liaodong, we probably won't get the chance to go directly to the battlefield, so we can only provide support to other people's army."
"The Liaodong side is always closer to the battlefield. Otherwise, if you stay in Dengzhou, you will have no chance. You are different from me. You can go to Liaodong or not. But I am different. All my enemies are still alive.
Okay. I will always be unwilling to go to the battlefield to settle the grudge."
Chen Rongsheng's first mate was not from Liaodong, so he didn't quite understand Chen Rongsheng's obsession with Liaodong. What Chen Rongsheng hated most was not the Manchus, but the traitors of the Dongjiang clique. When Huang Long was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, he
I have never had a comfortable day, wiping the butt of those gangsters all day long. If you can kill one or two enemy bandits every day, you will have no regrets in this life.
"Captain Chen, the commanding officer is waiting for you in the hall. Please clean up quickly and come with me." Just as he was about to take the brothers back to the military camp to rest, a military officer from the headquarters came over and found Chen Rongsheng and wanted to arrest him.
Drag him to the headquarters.
"Commander, you are recruiting me? But you are going to transfer us to the Liaodong front line?"
"I don't know the specifics, but this time the commander is not recruiting you alone. People from the Military Command Hall, the Military Department, and the Staff Department are here. I'm afraid there is something particularly important to discuss with you."
There are so many people here? How big of a deal is it to invite him? Chen Rongsheng couldn't help but feel nervous. In all the time he had been in Dengzhou, he had never seen anyone of higher rank except the commander of the Dengzhou fleet.
important personnel.
Chen Rongsheng, who was restless, followed the military officer to the headquarters to see the ceremony. After the ceremony, the command room said with a smile: "Captain Chen, I am not here to talk to you today. These people are from the military command hall, the military department and the staff department.
Official, I am looking for you today because I have new arrangements for your errand. The imperial court is planning to set up a coast guard in Jinzhou, and after the discussion of the superiors, I want to hand over this important task to you."
Coast Guard? What kind of job is this? Chen Rongsheng looked at several officials from Beijing in confusion.
After several officials introduced the detailed situation, Chen Rongsheng finally figured out the situation. It turned out that he was going to be transferred out of the military system and work for the Jinzhou Yamen.
"Colonel Chen, the Coast Guard is a military command hall. The military organization jointly managed by the Ministry of War and Jinzhou Yamen is similar to the inland security brigade. It is not completely separated from the military system. I hope you don't have too many ideas in your mind. The coast of Jinzhou
The garrison is the first garrison set up by the imperial court. It is related to the imperial government's future plans for managing the sea. I hope you can understand the imperial court's painstaking efforts. The reason why you are transferred to this position is mainly because you are familiar with the maritime conditions near Jinzhou.
It will be easier to suppress the remaining bandits from the Dongjiang Clan before." Seeing Chen Rongsheng's expression of embarrassment, the officials from the Ministry of War quickly offered some words of explanation.
Suppressing the remnant bandits left behind by the Dongjiang Clan? Chen Rongsheng's pupils suddenly dilated. If he hated those people in the Dongjiang Clan because of Huang Long's relationship, then these remnants of the Dongjiang Clan now have a more direct grudge against him. They are living in exile.
After arriving at Dachen Island, he was constantly bullied by the bandits of the Dongjiang Clan. On several occasions, he was almost taken away from his last stronghold by the gang.
"Masters, Chen has taken over this job! Even if I am shattered to pieces, I will definitely eliminate the remaining bandits in southern Liaoning."
"We are very happy that the colonel is willing to take on this responsibility. After discussion by all the adults in Beijing, the structure of the Jinzhou Coast Guard is two regiments with more than 1,600 people. It will be equipped with five large and small blessing boats and seven picket boats.
, 7 winter ships but also some sampan ships. These ships will all be in place before next summer. For personnel, the colonel can choose some of his old subordinates. The navy will allocate 500 more personnel to you.
We will select from among the troops from this year's new curtain. We hope that after the colonel takes office, we can open up the situation as soon as possible and stabilize the southern Liaoning sea area."
More than 1,600 soldiers and about 20 warships! Chen Rongsheng drooled when he heard this configuration. This lineup is a bit luxurious. There are not so many remnants of the Dongjiang faction combined, and they are not that good.
Ship, this return to Jinzhou feels like a homecoming in fine clothes.
Seven days later, Chen Rongsheng set off from Dengzhou with the first batch of Jinzhou Coast Guard members, three ships, and more than 300 people to report to Jinzhou in advance. The military command hall and other departments in Beijing sent important officials, not
I only have one conversation with Chen Rongsheng, and the most important task is to coordinate the allocation of relevant personnel so that Chen Rongsheng and the others can report to Jinzhou as soon as possible.
After two days of sailing, Chen Rongsheng and his people arrived at Jinzhou Port. Officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs took him to the state government office and introduced him to Chen Dayou.
"Captain Chen, I have been waiting for you. I miss you so much that my hair turns gray." Upon seeing Chen Rongsheng, Chen Dayou was so excited that he gave him a warm hug. He looked at Jin.
Most of the garrison in Haizhou will be transferred to the northern front, and the navy will also focus its main energy on supporting the Haizhou war. It is strange that Chen Dayou, who has nothing to do but has nothing to do, is not worried.
"You're welcome, sir. It is a humble duty to share the worries of Jinzhou's coastal defense."
"Captain Chen, how much combat power can you have in place within one month?"
"I brought more than 300 people with me this time. It is estimated that there will be 500 or 600 people within the month, and ten large and small ships are in place."
"Five or six hundred people? Although there are fewer people, it should be enough. My idea is that before the sea is closed, your coast guard can patrol twice a day from Lushun to Jinhongzui. At the same time, it will be able to patrol the coast with
The patrol police stations in each city have established effective cooperation and defense links. When they encounter banditry, the police team can support and assist defense at any time. As for the elimination of bandits, it will be carried out after the police team is fully established next year. At present, the navy is
We can no longer rely on them to fully protect the military resources on the front line of Haeju, so the pressure on you is very high. I hope your security forces can overcome it."
Not long ago, the official army stormed Haizhou City and pushed the front to Liaoyang, the gateway to Shenyang. The current war situation has forced the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to panic. They mobilized all available troops to counterattack the Ming army on the Haizhou front line.
, making the Haizhou frontline a serious war of attrition. Logistical pressure increased sharply, and the navy no longer had the energy to take care of the remnant bandits on the east coast. Therefore, the coastal defense on the Jinzhou side became correspondingly tense. It should be the most strenuous time now.
In all aspects, we have to grit our teeth and get through this period!
