Xiao Letian's new army is very elite. This force has now been named the Marine Corps. Of course, this name has not yet become famous around the world. European military observers and the Manchu Qing government still call Xiao Letian's army the New Ryukyu Army.
There is a special unit in the Marine Corps. European military strategists translate it as sharpshooters or hunters, but Xiao Letian himself prefers to call these people by the name of snipers.
This is the elite among the elites, the king of soldiers among the kings of soldiers. More than fifty green forest tycoons represented by Long Ye jointly learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses to design a set of close combat techniques. Each sniper must have fired 50,000 rounds. Basic shooting training with bullets, and at the same time, they also have to undergo long-term latency training, and high-intensity armed off-roading...
Abnormal training created a group of abnormal soldiers. The sniper has become the sweetheart of the Marines, Xiao Letian's most precious eyeball.
The dissatisfaction of these Japanese samurai is very unreasonable. This kind of door-to-door greeting ceremony is originally a ceremony for veterans to welcome new recruits. Every time the sniper team receives new recruits, it is even more serious than this. It is said that every new sniper is given a new weapon. There is a 10% chance that they will be driven crazy alive.
For example, the superior may ask you to lurk in a one-meter-deep manure pit for three hours, or he may lock you in a solitary room for three days and three nights for no reason, and you may be suddenly faced with a bucket of ice water while sleeping... all kinds of things. There are various methods of abuse. This is not because the training officer is mentally ill, but because the sniper profession requires a very strong mental strength and the ability to withstand all kinds of pressure.
The sneak attack on these Japanese rookies on the beach is not bullying at all. For Ye Qiu and others, this is a natural appetizer.
Regardless of whether Shimadzu Asuka and others are convinced or not, today's attack is still very useful. If nothing else, just look at those highly practical close combat techniques, these Japanese samurai are already ashamed of themselves. Maybe the snipers on both sides were no match for the sword fight, but their experience in the close-quarters killing technique in chaotic battles was really not as good as these young men.
All the warriors disembarked from the ship in batches. Long Ye led the vanguard and quickly came to the pine forest to join the vanguard. These marines who had been adaptively trained in the Chongjin area of North Korea for more than three months, as early as They had lurked in the Far East ten days ago, with a total number of four hundred people.
"General Xiang, the place we are now is actually the so-called Ningguta area in the Qing Dynasty. This has been the place where official slaves were distributed since ancient times. It first belonged to the territory of Haixi Jurchen and Wild Jurchen. It is a wild area in the wilderness. The sparsely populated environment in Guangzhou is extremely harsh..."
"In fact, even the Jianzhou Jurchen faction represented by Nurhaci considers this place to be a barren land and has always only asked for tributes from some fur products, sea greens, pearls, ginseng and other special products. In fact, the annual financial flow is reversed. It’s the central government of the Qing Dynasty that is subsidizing this place..."
Ye Qiu seemed to have done a lot of homework in advance. He started to explain the origin of this land on the map.
Where exactly is Ninggu Pagoda is actually clear by comparing the Manchu and modern maps. The terrifying place Ninggu Pagoda is located in Haining City, Heilongjiang Province today, but in the Qing Dynasty this land belonged to Jilin The general governs.
At that time, although the Ningguta area also paid treasures to the central government as taxes, this fertile land was basically undeveloped due to backward productivity.
The defenders of Ninggu Pagoda need to transport wages and some food from the Central Plains. This is a disguised subsidy from the central government to outside the customs, because the soldiers and generals have to live here after all, and the silver and copper coins transported from Beijing will eventually be spent locally. , so this is a supplement to the local currency.
For hundreds of years, the nomads in the Wusuli River area have not felt it themselves, but they cannot deny that their lives have been subsidized by the Central Plains finance, and only in this way can their lives be considered easier.
But when the Russians took over, everything changed. The funds for the Russian garrison in the Far East are all raised by the locals. This is also a helpless place. Even if Moscow wants to transport supplies, it is beyond its reach and insufficient.
At this time, the local Han people, wild Jurchens, and Oroqen people all felt the pressure of life, because the Russians demanded taxes not only on gold, pearls, furs and other treasures, but also on silver, copper coins, and food.
"Master Xiang, this is the core of the contradiction. If the Russians want to solve the supply problem, they will inevitably purchase grain from Qing merchants and Korean merchants. People cannot just rely on hunting to eat meat! Tens of thousands of people Isn’t the amount of flour consumed by the army a staggering amount?”
"But there is no way to grow crops in this white mountain and black water. Food must be bought. The Russian soldiers collected more taxes, and the indigenous people naturally had less to eat. In comparison, they missed their past life very much, at least not for the Manchus. Their food and copper coins..."
"Actually, conflicts have been occurring continuously before we came to this land. The people here are tough and extremely aggressive. At the beginning, the Russian tax collection team was often attacked and beaten. Later, only the army could rob it. If you have to pay taxes, the contradiction will become deeper and deeper..."
"According to the Prime Minister's analysis, this is really the best time for us to intervene in the Far East, because before the Trans-Siberian Railway is built, light and heavy industrial products and military supplies from Moscow cannot be transported at all, which means that the current garrison must Choosing brutal methods of rule, they can’t even live with Mu Chunfeng. This is the most fundamental motivation for us to lead the local people to build a country!”
"Okay..." Mr. Long clapped his hands, "It's good to be young. You can consider problems from many aspects of economics and politics. This is the talent of a general. Not bad, really good!"
Mr. Long tapped the map, "The Russians in the Far East are probably crazy poor now. The gold mines in Qingdao are not allowed to be mined by the Chinese? Instead, they are suppressed? This shows that their finances are already very difficult..."
"If it were a normal rule, there would be no need for Aitorin and Diyachenko to intervene militarily. They could just collect taxes directly from the gold miners. Even if the taxes were heavier, it wouldn't matter. The Chinese would not choose this option if they had a way to survive. rebel……"
"But the two of them did not do this. Instead, they directly chose military massacre. This shows that their purpose is to monopolize the gold mine. Their finances are now in an extremely difficult situation. This is our best opportunity..."
Sister Wu smiled and said, "What's more important is to attack the heart? Why do I feel a little pain in my body? It seems that our money bag will shrink a lot..."
Hahaha, Long Ye laughed boldly, "As long as you can do things with money in this world, it doesn't matter! If you can buy more than one million square kilometers of land with money, then the Prime Minister will eat pickles every day. He is happy too!”
"Bring our guests up!"
