Chapter 431: Thorn Pulling


"This old man is really capable of tossing, the court has dismissed him from his official position, but I didn't expect him to return to the grassland and be restless.I dealt with him when I was still in the Twist Army, and now in the Eight Banners Army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian Eight Banners Army led by this old man still has some combat effectiveness. ”Luo Sanyuan, deputy commander of the Taiyuan Military Region, smiled, remembering the days when he participated in the Twist Army, and he had suffered a lot of losses at the hands of Monk Greenqin."

Deputy Commander Luo, how is the cavalry training of your new First Army I heard that in Xinjiang, you are fighting the Mongolian cavalry and don't even have a chance to fight back" Wang Shijie looked at Luo Sanyuan with a smile, and he also heard Zhang Xian report in the military newspaper about Wu Xuming's preparation for the establishment of the cavalry corps."

Now that the cavalry corps of the New First Army has completed all the drills, we are waiting to go to the battlefield to fight with real swords and guns."

Luo Sanyuan excitedly reported that his New First Army had made huge profits in Xinjiang, and almost all the captured war horses were assembled for the New First Army.Now the New First Army was already a standard cavalry corps, each cavalry with two horses.The more than 30,000 elite cavalry that had just been trained were all the elite of the Twist Army that year."

Great, I don't have a cavalry legion under me.When we faced a cavalry attack, we were always passive on the defensive.This time, we will reverse the attack and defense, and first take advantage of the fact that their forces are not assembled, and take him by surprise" Wang Shijie looked at Luo Sanyuan with satisfaction, after this plan was captured in Ningxia, he began to conceive in his mind.The Huaxing Army now has sophisticated weapons, but it does not have a highly mobile army.Now Luo Sanyuan's cavalry corps has just filled this gap, and it can launch a long-distance attack on Inner Mongolia.It is not aimed at occupying the city, but only destroying the enemy's living forces, and fighting a quick battle in a short time."

Commander-in-chief, you just give an order, our new army is also coming up in the Mongolian steppe, and a wolf is in the Mongolian steppe," Luo Sanyuan got up and saluted and asked for battle."

Commander-in-chief, our right army should also do something, when we attacked Xinjiang, there would be nothing to do with our right army" Lin Quanbao, chief of staff of the Taiyuan Military Region, also got up to ask for battle, and his face was full of eagerness for war.Since their arrival in Shanxi, their right army has also participated in a campaign against Xi'an.Now the generals in the army are all gearing up, lest other armies rob them of their military achievements."

Chief of Staff Lin, your right army has other tasks, don't worry.The main force of the battle against the Inner Mongolian army this time was handed over to the cavalry corps of the New First Army, and the armies of other military regions were still defending themselves in their own stations to strictly prevent the Mongolian army from sneaking attack.Let the Mongolian Tartars spend the New Year in peace, and after the beginning of spring, we will strike first.Before they set off, they were caught off guard" Wang Shijie's eyes flashed, and he slammed his hand on the table."

It's the last general to command" all the generals stood up, shouted and raised their arms in salute.In the Nanjing Presidential Palace, as soon as Qiao Zhiqing got up, Wei Ziyou sent the navy's military report over.The South China Sea Fleet has been assembled under the command of Wang Zhenyuan, preparing to make the eastern capital of Japan and launch an attack on the warships of Britain, France, and the United States together with the East China Sea Fleet.The cavalry of Inner Mongolia and the navy of the foreigners were the two thorns in front of the Huaxing army, and these two thorns must be pulled out before the Northern Expedition.This year, the Navy did not add large warships, but replaced all the old naval guns on the ships with rapid-fire guns.The East China Sea Fleet also returned to port several times, replacing all the guns of the battleships, and each time bringing back a large amount of silver from Japan.Now that the major banks in New China are still on the silver standard, and Japan is a place rich in silver mines, Qiao Zhiqing naturally will not let the warship go back and forth in vain.Under Xiao Ru's service, Qiao Zhiqing hurriedly washed his face, made it on the couch, and asked Xiao Ru to report some breakfast and bring it up.Wei Ziyou didn't eat, sat down opposite him unceremoniously, and followed the meal."

Brother Qiao, there is also a Japanese military newspaper here.Japan's Meiji Emperor announced last month that he would begin the "Meiji Reform" to learn from Britain and establish a constitutional monarchy.At present, all the feudal domains in southwestern Japan have expressed their support, saying that they will resolutely abolish the shogunate system, unify the northeastern states, and return the government to the emperor. ”After Qiao Zhiqing finished reading the first military report, Wei Ziyou handed the second military report in his hand to Qiao Zhiqing."

Meiji, this little kid has stiffened his wings with the support of foreigners, so this time I will spank him and let him know who is the master of Asia" Qiao Zhiqing took the military newspaper and looked at it, and chuckled disdainfully.Japan, like the Qing Dynasty, has been terminally ill for many years, and now it wants to change the law to become stronger, and there is no chance of turning the tables."

President, he is also the emperor of Japan, how can you call him like a child" Wei Ziyou was amused by him, Qiao Zhiqing's body was full of self-respecting domineering, which fascinated Wei Ziyou more and more, and wanted to stay with him every day."

If he has a bit of brains, he should be honest and low-key.Then maybe I will pity him and let him be emperor for a few more years.Now if you have to collude with foreigners and toss together, then you can't keep him" Qiao Zhiqing smiled lightly, as if he was saying something commonplace.Although China and Japan are thousands of miles apart, his words will also turn the clouds and rain in Japan."

News has also come from Tibet, and the lama has rejected our proposal for the peaceful liberation of Tibet.They said that they were still subjects of the Qing Dynasty and hoped that we would not disturb their lives, but the Panchen Lama was willing to continue to contact us, agreed with our views, and hoped that the Tibetan issue would be resolved peacefully. ”Wei Ziyou took out another military report, handed it to Qiao Zhiqing, and helped Xiaoru set the prepared meal on the small table.Xiaoru just got off winter vacation, and now she is also Qiao Zhiqing's full-time life secretary.worked in Zeng Jiyun's original position, and buried his head in studying when he had nothing to do.The little girl is getting more and more pretty now, but her personality is a little introverted, and she usually doesn't like to talk much."

These monks control the land and political power in Tibet, and naturally they will not be willing to share it with the serfs."

Qiao Zhiqing raised his eyebrows, very interested in the attitude of the Panchen.Since the system of theocracy should be abolished in Tibet, there is no need to keep the Panchen Lama, but only need to support a religious leader who is useful to him."

Why is Brother Qiao so polite to Tibet, didn't he say that he would fight Xinjiang and Mongolia" Wei Ziyou took a few sips of porridge, wiped his mouth and asked Qiao Zhiqing puzzled.Xiaoru was also eating on the side, always with a smiling expression on her face, but she didn't say a word."

Tibet is different from Xinjiang and Mongolia, and the people in this place have their own set of beliefs.They also have a strong sense of identity with China in their hearts, and not many people want to be divisive.We only fight those who should be beaten, and the people of Tibet, like the people of our Han people, are a group of people in need of help" Qiao Zhiqing explained to Wei Ziyou with a wry smile, looking at her expression, she must have regarded herself as a tyrant who was overly murderous."

Yes, yes, yes, Brother Qiao is always right" Wei Ziyou smiled and stuck out his tongue.Qiao Zhiqing looked at her playful appearance and shook his head helplessly.After eating, they also reviewed the military newspapers separately and let Wei Ziyou send them out.In Kyoto, Japan, Emperor Meiji convened a court meeting to discuss a plan to recover Tohoku with the four major feudal clans in the southwest, Choshu Domain, Satsuma Domain, Tosa Domain, and Hizen Domain."

Your Majesty, we have worked hard for a year, and now that we have sufficient weapons and salaries, we can completely recover the southeastern states, drive the Chinese out of Japan, and overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate."

He was the most powerful military of the four southwestern prefectures, and was entrusted with important tasks by Emperor Meiji.Although Emperor Meiji is advocating reform, it has not been implemented, and the notification policy remains the same as before."

Yes, the Tokugawa shogunate treated the Chinese like slaves.Give our women and silver to them for free, we must defeat these Chinese in order to wash away the shame of Great Japan" Saigo Takamori, the leader of the Satsuma Domain, also cursed and angrily expressed his support."

Emperor, I have already negotiated with Britain, the United States, and France, and they also support our counterattack on the Tohoku Shogunate and support us from the sea" "Emperor, I also support" "Emperor, go to war, drive the Chinese to the sea to feed the fish" The leaders of the four prefectures also raised their arms and shouted, demanding that the emperor and the shogunate fight a decisive battle and unify Japan."

Everyone, be quiet."

Emperor Meiji waved his hand, shouted, got up, drew his katana from behind him, and said in a low voice, "You are right, we have reached the most dangerous time in Japan.The Chinese are like bloodsuckers, parasitic on our bodies in Japan.Not only do they play with our women, but they also plunder our wealth.We're going to make a break with them this time," Meiji slashed at the table in front of him with a bloody face, and the katana flashed cold, and the small table split in two.In Tokyo, Edo, Japan, the news that the emperor was going to use troops against the shogunate soon spread back to the Tokugawa shogunate.Tokugawa Keisei hurriedly summoned the lords of each domain, the daimyo of the shogunate, and the samurai leaders to the shogunate to discuss matters.Now Tokugawa Keisei has taken full control of the shogunate with the assistance of Joyama Apricot.Since Shinji Abe completely surrendered to Qiao Zhiqing, Qiao Zhiqing sent him to Qiao Shanxing's side to assist Qiao Shanxing in handling the affairs of the shogunate.Tokugawa Qingsheng has been weak since he was a child, and he has to ask Qiao Shan Xing about everything to know how to deal with it.Gradually, the whole shogunate was also controlled by Qiao Shan Xing.All the daimyo and samurai who opposed Tokugawa Keishi's birthday, Qiao Shan Xing also let Shinji Abe's Hanzomon decisively assassinate, and now she has become the heroine of the Japanese shogunate.Every time she had a meeting, Qiao Shan Xing would also sit with Tokugawa Keihei.The opponents of the shogunate also disappeared one after another, and no one dares to say anything now."

Your Excellency General, we must now inform the Huaxing Army of this news and ask them for help to resist the attack of the Shogunate Army.""

Yes, Your Excellency.In the battle against the Shogunate faction, all the feudal domains were badly damaged, and now we are unable to organize troops and horses to fight.Why don't we scrape together some silver taels and ask the Huaxing army for help, they won't look at us being defeated by the Shogunate faction""" The feudal lords, daimyos, and samurai leaders have pinned their hopes on the Huaxing army, and the shogunate army and the Shogunate faction have fought dozens of times, and each time they have been defeated, and now they have no military strength to fight at all
