"Hello President" Qiao Zhiqing just walked into the door of the War Hall of the Ministry of National Defense, and all the generals got up and saluted as standard."
Alright, sit down."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled and waved his hand, and sat down on the main seat."
Yes," the generals shouted in unison, and after putting down their hands, they all sat down straight."
How to negotiate a result" The soldiers quickly poured a bowl of hot tea for Qiao Zhiqing, Qiao Zhiqing took a sip, and looked around at the generals with interest."
President, we are studying the Northern Expedition every day, and we have already had results," Army Commander Zhang Zongyu was the first to say excitedly."
Yes, everyone has long thought about smashing the Yellow Dragon and driving the Manchu Tartars off the throne, and now they have finally waited for this day."
Gu Yunfei, chief of the General Staff, was also happy, and his face was full of high morale."
President, our navy should be the vanguard this time and take Beijing directly from the sea," Navy Commander Huang Wenzhong also said, full of excitement."
Alright, alright.I know you're all amazing.Let's let Minister Wang introduce it" Qiao Zhiqing smiled and waved his hand, looking directly at Wang Shumao and signaling.He knew that all the generals couldn't help but make meritorious contributions, and it was a great merit to go straight to Huanglong."
President, please look at the map" Defense Minister Wang Shumao stood up, his face full of calmness, and he looked like a general.Wang Shumao took a step forward, took the baton and pointed to the map, and said lightly, "After the research of the Ministry of National Defense, the Northern Expedition is divided into two stages.In the first stage, the five provinces of Henan, Zhili, Hebei, Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu will be solved.In the second stage, troops will be sent outside the border to solve the problems of the three northeastern provinces and Mongolia. ”Wang Shumao paused to see if Qiao Zhiqing had any opinions.Qiao Zhiqing nodded, didn't say anything, and motioned for him to continue."
Let's talk about the first stage first, and now Jiangbei is also roughly divided into the five largest forces.One is the Huai army stationed in northern Anhui, led by Wu Changqing, the old department of Zeng Guofan, with about 100,000 soldiers and horses.One is the Henan army stationed in Henan, led by Henan governor Yuan Baoheng, with about 300,000 soldiers and horses.One is the national protector army stationed in Zhili, led by Rong Lu, the governor of Zhili, with about 100,000 soldiers and horses.One is the Lu army stationed in Shandong, led by Ding Baozhen, the governor of Shandong, with about 200,000 soldiers and horses.One was the Hunan army stationed in northern Jiangsu, led by Ding Richang, the old department of Zeng Guofan, with about 100,000 soldiers and horses.Among these five forces, the Protector Army under the command of Rong Lu had the strongest combat effectiveness.According to reliable sources, these 100,000 people were all equipped with 100,000 breech foreign guns given to the Manchus by foreigners, which had the same performance as our expeditionary rifles. ”After Wang Shumao finished speaking, he asked the soldiers to take a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and his face was calm and calm."
Have you done the work of Wu Changqing and Ding Richang, are they willing to raise troops and surrender" Qiao Zhiqing looked at the map, constantly making calculations in his mind."
Talked about it, and more than once.Both of them had a stubborn temper, and each time they insulted our fire fox.claimed that as long as they were there, the Huaxing Army would not be able to cross the Yangtze River" Wei Ziyou also sat down and smiled helplessly at Qiao Zhiqing.She was in charge of intelligence and rebellion work, and the Han people in Jiangbei had all sent the fire fox to contact her.The generals looked at Wei Ziyou and laughed, and the little girl's face was full of shame when she was seen, and she couldn't help but secretly hang her head."
President, just fight directly without talking about it, why are you so polite to the lackeys of the Manchu Qing Dynasty" Zhang Zongyu spat out angrily, with a look of eagerness for war, and hated to go to the front line to command in person."
I don't think they were there to help the Manchu court, but for themselves.Since the death of Zeng Guofan, these Han regiments have become self-reliant, and all of them are local warlords who support their own troops.The current state of the Qing court is well known to everyone, a broken ship will immediately crumble, and even one of the people at the helm is a woman.Why didn't these Han people surrender in the regiment, didn't they know that the broken ship of the Qing court was about to sink?
Whoever is a tyrant, they are.The annual tax revenue from various places has also been used to hold group exercises, who has ever paid silver to the imperial court" Gu Yunfei looked deeper, he is also constantly learning now, and his understanding of the essence of things is more objective."
Chief of Staff Gu is right, they are now a vested interest group.Our Northern Expedition this time is not only to defeat these regiments and train their arms, but more importantly, to carry out the policy we have always pursued and defeat all the exploiting classes" Qiao Zhiqing affirmed Gu Yunfei's thoughts, and reminded with a resolute face."
Yes, that's right," the generals nodded in agreement."
Minister Wang, you can continue" Qiao Zhiqing focused his gaze on the map again, looking at Wang Shimao and nodding."
I just talked about the five major forces in Jiangbei, and now we will talk about the strategy of entering the army.It is said that to fight a snake, you must hit seven inches, and to capture a thief, you must first capture the king.This time, the first one we want to attack is Naoli.As long as Beijing is taken, all regiments in Jiangbei will inevitably have no leader, and they will fight for their own battles, and we will attack them separately." ”As soon as Wang Shumao said this, Qiao Zhiqing clapped his hands and applauded.This time, the idea of the Ministry of Defense also coincided with his thoughts, and before he came, he had been worried about whether the plan of the Ministry of Defense would be the same as before, and he did not know how to use the power of the navy.Now it seems that everyone is improving, and there is nothing to worry about."
This time we marched into Zhili, we refer to the route of the foreign devils who invaded China and marched to Beijing from the sea.First take control of the Bohai Bay, then land at the mouth of Dagu in Tianjin, and attack Beijing directly from Tianjin.At present, the most important maritime forces in the North Sea are Britain, France, and the United States.They all have colonies in Tianjin, and they will not sit idly by and watch us take Tianjin.At present, most of the British, French, and American warships are stationed in Japan, traveling between Tianjin and Japan.Therefore, before attacking Tianjin, the navy must first deal with the maritime forces of these three countries and march to Beijing by sea, while the Taiyuan Military Region also set out from Datong, Shanxi, and marched to Beijing by land.At the same time, the Nanjing Military Region and the Guangzhou Military Region also crossed the river to the north in the south and attacked northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu at the same time.The general idea of this Northern Expedition is also to attack from the east and west, and encircle the north and south. ”After Wang Shumao finished speaking, he handed the command baton to his soldiers, returned to the council table and sat down."
Good, good, very nice.Roughly the same as I was thinking.However, I would like to remind you that Inner Mongolia will also be included in the first phase.Because according to reliable information, Horqin's prince monk Lingqin was already preparing to launch an attack on Ningxia.Let's fight a few small battles before we go all-in-one.Inner Mongolia should be dealt with first on land, and the British, French, and American forces stationed in Japan should be dealt with at sea. ”Qiao Zhiqing smiled and applauded, and all the generals were also relieved, for fear that Qiao Zhiqing would not be satisfied, so they laughed and applauded."
The last general commands" Wang Shumao took the lead in getting up, shouted, and all the generals also got up, and they all saluted straight.In the Horqin grassland of Inner Mongolia, Monk Greenqin had a sulky stomach in Beijing.In a fit of rage, he rode out of the capital and hunted on the grassland.At this time, ice and snow covered the world, and Inner Mongolia had just fallen the first heavy snow after the beginning of winter.The grassland is white and vast, like a carpet."
Driving" a group of horses whistling through the snow, splashing bursts of snowflakes.With a "whoosh" arrow, a bow and arrow swept through the air, hitting the neck of a sika deer.The sika deer rolled in the snow a few times before falling to the ground, blood splashing from its neck stained the snow all around, kicking its hooves and screaming incessantly.The horse team quickly caught up and knocked several sturdy youths off their horses.He drew a bow and arrow from the neck of the sika deer and carried the fruit of victory down."
Old Prince, the older you get, the more refined your archery is, the more you go, the more you do it" The old man on a red horse put away his bow and arrows, his beard and hair were gray, but his face was full of energy, and the arrow just now was exactly what he shot.On a war horse behind the old man, a middle-aged man straddled, and the middle-aged man clenched his fists and praised him, his face full of joy."
Yes, the old prince's body is bones, we are ashamed of ourselves when we see it" Another middle-aged man also complimented, with a smile on his face."
Don't compliment me as an old man, the Queen Mother has let me raise this old man for a long time.If you are old, you are old, and if you don't accept it, you can't do it" The old man sighed melancholy, he was the prince of Horqin, Inner Mongolia, and the monk Greenqin.The middle-aged man who followed him was Lakshen, the banner owner of the Alxa Erut Banner in Inner Mongolia, and Dai Qin, the banner owner of the Ulanqab Banner in Inner Mongolia."
Where the old prince said this, it's all unfair in the court's employment of people, and traitorous ministers are in charge.They are jealous of the old prince's meritocracy, so they belittled you in front of the Queen Mother and asked the Queen Mother to remove you from your position.If the imperial court had reused the old prince, the traitors would have been pacified by us a long time ago, and half of the Qing Dynasty would have been occupied by the traitors," Lakshen pretended to be resentful and complained a few words for the monk Greenqin."
Yes, the Manchu gang has long lost the majesty of their ancestors.Now they have become a wreck, always thinking about greedy enjoyment, and seeing that even the ancestors are about to lose their country. ”Dai Qin also scolded with a disdainful face.At present, the three largest departments in Inner Mongolia are the Horqin Division, the Alxa Erut Division, and the Ulanqab Division."
The court treats us well, and your kindness is appreciated by the old man.Don't insult the court anymore and break the rules. ”A trace of dissatisfaction appeared on Monk Greenqin's face, and he glared at the two of them."
Yes, yes, what the old prince said is very true" The two hurriedly changed their tone, and hung their heads in shame when they clenched their fists."
Let's go, I'll treat you both to venison tonight.Send someone to call the Orile and Ke banner master of the Turkut tribe, I know that he is also here today, and he will not dare to come out to meet people if he does not lose the battle. ”Sen Greenqin explained with a cold face, turned around and rode his horse towards the tribe
