The National Academy of Sciences and his party, Qiao Zhiqing was also relieved.With Xu Shou's promise, he also dared to face the European powers.Because the breech guns of the Qing court were not popularized, Qiao Zhiqing did not develop the army's artillery for long-range fire cover.But now in the face of Europe's perfect industrial system, Qiao Zhiqing has to consider the modernization of army artillery.Artillery modernization is not something that can be solved in a short time, Qiao Zhiqing decided to start with tires, and then gradually improve the problem of barrels and shells.The tires directly determine the speed of the artillery, as well as the efficiency of the placement of troops on the position.With the same power of artillery, whoever can decide the speed will have the right to decide the battlefield.After Qiao Zhiqing returned to the presidential palace, it was just dawn, and Wei Ziyou quickly took the military newspaper from Kanto into the study."
Brother Qiao, the latest military situation in Kanto.Cixi and the little emperor have already gone north to Russia, the left and right corps of the Taiyuan Military Region have fully taken over Liaoning, the Kulun Military Region has also taken over Heilongjiang, and the northeast has been owned by us. ”Wei Ziyou raised his little face excitedly, excitedly reported the situation in Kanto to Qiao Zhiqing, and put the military newspaper in his hand on Qiao Zhiqing's hand.A month after Rong Lu personally led the Protector Army to the north, he soon forcibly crossed the Heilongjiang River and fought several small battles with the Russian border guards, which were almost unhindered in Russia.Russia has only 300,000 elite troops, equipped with breech-loading guns aided by Britain and France, and all of them are concentrated in the European zone of Russian territory.These border guards, who are far away from Moscow, usually have a problem with food, are slow to replace their weapons, and use old-fashioned breech guns.The territory of more than one million square kilometers north of the Heilongjiang River, south of the Outer Khingan Mountains, and east of the Ussuri River to Sakhalin Island was originally the homeland of China.The Jurchen, Hezhe and Evenki and other Chinese ancestors have lived here.After the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Russia took advantage of China's decline and invaded the Heilongjiang River valley by force.In the area of Yaksa, the inhumane slaughter of the local people, and even the use of the Sauronians as food, is worse than that of animals.After the Russian conquest of the Far East, it successively established administrative, military and other power institutions to control the Far East, and the entire Far East region was placed under the administration of the central Far East Yamen.The Far Eastern Yamen is divided into overseer districts, and county-level overseers are established under the superintendents.It has all military, administrative, judicial, and economic powers in its territory.The main areas of the Overseers bordering the Kwantung region include Transbaikal Krai, Amur, Khabarovsk and Primorsky Krai.Ronglu went north, and the first to attack was the Amur Governor's territory.This place is located on the north bank of the Hei River in the Heilongjiang River, and was ceded to Russia by the Manchu government through the Treaty of Aihui, and was originally the place where the Qing Taizu Nurhachi started.Russia has strengthened its assimilation and control over the Far East through continuous immigration to the Far East, and now the main ethnic group of the Far East has become a Slavic nation.The Overseer's Office under the jurisdiction of the Amur Overseers was located in the city of Blagoveshchensk, which was originally under the jurisdiction of the Heilongjiang General's Office of the Qing Dynasty.Lao Maozi garrisoned more than 10,000 soldiers and horses here, all of which were Cossack cavalry regiments.The word Cossack is derived from the Turkic word meaning "free man" or "brave man".At that time, due to the oppression of the landlords and nobles and the persecution of the tsarist government, some serfs and urban poor among the Slavic peoples were forced to flee and live in other places because they could not bear the cruel oppression.In the southern regions of Russia, the steppes were vast and sparsely populated, and it was difficult for the Tsar's rule to cover them.As a result, it became a refuge for the Cossacks, and gradually several settlement centers were formed.The Cossack cavalry has always been known for its bravery and good fighting, and in the history of Russia, the Cossack cavalry was also an important force in Tsarist Russia.They were raised on horseback, and their favored weapons were also spears.Even today, with the popularity of hot weapons, they still use spears.Napoleon once said, "If I had Cossack cavalry in my troops, I would have swept the world with them." ”Compared to Rong Lu's Protectors, they were already a century behind.Under the collective fire of breech rifles, the scattered shock formation of the Cossacks was a live target, and almost the group was shot and rolled to the ground.Rong Lu finally found a little sense of confidence from the defeat in the battle with the Huaxing army.In his impression, Russia has always been a more difficult opponent to defeat than the Huaxing army.But now, he has finally figured out the strength of this stupid bear, and has gradually planned his long-term development goals in Russia."
Rong Lu, this kid didn't disappoint me, the only reliable general in the Qing court now is Rong Lu" Qiao Zhiqing smiled, closed the military newspaper, took out another draft of the Northeast Construction Regulations from the table, and handed it to Wei Ziyou.He had already divided the northeast into three provinces to administer, and re-established the three general districts of the original Qing court as Heilongjiang Province, Jilin Province, and Liaoning Province.Under the province, there are three administrative regions: city, county and tun."
Brother Qiao really looks up to him, and he didn't learn all his skills from you" Wei Ziyou sorted out the official documents in his hand and pouted nonchalantly.Except for Qiao Zhiqing, she has never looked at other men in her eyes."
You go down and send out the military report quickly, the three eastern provinces have just been established, and there are still many things to be busy with.It is still necessary to follow the previous method, first establish a military government, and then gradually improve the organization of government at all levels. ”Qiao Zhiqing was a little tired and instructed, he was a little busy with a lot of things at hand."
Brother Qiao, you have to take care of your health, where is the time to deal with government affairs."
Wei Ziyou told him with concern, for fear that he would be tired and sick."
It's okay, you go down, I'll have to go to the Ministry of Defense later."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled lightly, touched the girl's head, cleaned up the official documents on the table, and asked Wang Wu to prepare a carriage and rush to the Ministry of Defense.The Ministry of Defense has already set a strategic plan to go south and then north, and decided to go south to deal with the British army in India first, and then go back to Lao Maozi to settle accounts.Recently, the military situation in Myanmar is urgent, and Zeng Guoquan has issued three military reports in a row, asking the Huaxing Army to go to Burma to help Burma resist the British army.Since the British army increased the number of troops in India, the British army in India has risen from the original 30,000 to as many as 100,000 now, and it has also armed nearly 300,000 Indian soldiers.Bangladesh, the buffer zone between Burma and India, had been completely annexed by the British, and had pushed the front directly into Burma.Zeng Guoquan's subordinates only had more than 100,000 disciples from Xianghuai, and although they fought bravely, they were only equipped with old-fashioned breech rifles after all.The British army of more than 100,000 men was equipped with new breech-loading rifles, and there were 300,000 Indian soldiers to serve as support.No matter how powerful Zeng Guoquan is, it is impossible to defeat three with one, and the difference in weapons is still so huge.After Qiao Zhiqing received the military report asking for help, he immediately asked the Ministry of Defense to draw up a complete set of strategic plans for the expedition to India.Through continuous intelligence gathering and research on India's topography, climate and humanities, the Ministry of Defense finally finalized the plan to wage war on two fronts against India.Qiao Zhiqing entered the battle hall of the Ministry of National Defense, and all the generals saluted in unison under the leadership of Wang Shumao."
Shijie, it's a good thing that young people like to toss at night, after all, they want to pass on the lineage to your Wang family.But things must be reversed, looking at your appearance, it's better to be modest" Qiao Zhiqing waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down and speak.He looked at Wang Shijie's red face and couldn't help but tease him.The generals naturally knew what he was talking about, and they all laughed along.Wang Shijie's face was red, full of happy smiles.He looked forward to it for nearly five or six years before he brought Lin Meizhu back.After the two got married, they were tired of being with Lin Meizhu every night and enjoying the joy of youth."
Alright, let's get down to business.Minister Wang, you can get started. ”Qiao Zhiqing let everyone relax, and then sat down and commanded Wang Shumao."
Yes, President," Wang Shumao nodded as he stood up, and then asked the operations staff to hang up a huge topographical map of India."
President, according to the latest information we have, the British garrison in India is roughly divided into two parts.Some of them are fighting Islamist rebels in the north, and some are attacking Burma in the east, preparing to regain control of Southeast Asia.Therefore, the Ministry of Defense is also preparing to divide its troops into two routes, and part of it will go south to meet the British army attacking Burma.Part crossed the Himalayas from Tibet and attacked New Delhi directly. ”Wang Shumao pointed to the map and gave a brief introduction, paused to wait for Qiao Zhiqing's opinion.Qiao Zhiqing looked at the detailed strategic plan for a while, frowned at the map for a while, and finally asked, "The general direction of this strategic plan is very correct, but there are a few details I want to add." ”All the generals in the battle hall straightened their waists, opened their notebooks, and prepared to follow Qiao Zhiqing's instructions with serious expressions.It turned out that everyone was still using brushes and rice paper, and it was very inconvenient to record the meeting.Qiao Zhiqing later vigorously promoted the fountain pen of foreigners, which can greatly save paper and improve the speed of writing, which is deeply loved by students who are receiving education."
First, the Burmese army under Tsang Kuo-tsuen and the Islamic rebels under Du Van Xiu are not our reliable allies.When marching into the British army, these two forces should be taken into account at the same time.Second, you guys have a good idea of opening two fronts.But have you ever thought that Myanmar is a mountainous region and Tibet is a mountainous region?
When you attack India, how can you ensure the smooth supply of grain and grass?
Thirdly, you have not taken the British army's killer weapon into account.The reason why Britain claims to be an empire on which the sun never sets is because of its powerful navy, which can put British soldiers into any corner of the world.Compared with the British army and navy, the navy is still superior. ”Qiao Zhiqing sternly put forward three new opinions, which made all the generals present greatly understand.All the generals in the battle hall recorded them in their notebooks, and their faces showed a hint of shame.Until the development of the Huaxing Army's navy to the present point, most senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense still attached more importance to the development of the army.After all, the army can conquer cities, and the navy doesn't seem to be so useful for the time being."
President, the Admiral is not well thought out, and the work done by the Navy is really not enough.We only know that they have deployed more than fifty warships in the Indian Ocean, but we do not know much about the tonnage and firepower of the warships. ”Wang Shumao stared at the map for a while, and sincerely admitted his mistake, he did ignore these three important issues."
President, it's our Navy that hasn't done a good job.If you want to blame, just punish the last man. ”Navy Commander Huang Wenzhong hurriedly got up and took all the guilt of negligence on himself."
Don't argue, in fact, the most blaming thing for this matter is our air force.Originally, our air force surveyed the intelligence gathering from a high altitude.We immediately sent men to inspect the ports of India to see how many warships the British had.Air Force Captain Feng Jie also took responsibility in a hurry."
It's okay, let's all sit down.I just gave my opinion and didn't mean to reprimand you. ”Qiao Zhiqing smiled and waved his hand, and after giving them a small warning, he continued to speak, "You must keep your eyes open, so that the capabilities of the navy and air force can be fully brought into play." ”Yes, President" All the generals in the battle hall stood up one after another, and all of them gave Qiao Zhiqing a military salute with serious expressions.Qiao Zhiqing can always consider things perfectly, and he can't help but be dissatisfied with the generals present."
Alright, that's all for today.You revise the military plan and leave it to me for review.You must pay attention to the fact that the British army is not a Qing army, it is not as weak as you think, never despise your opponent" Qiao Zhiqing reminded, got up and left the Ministry of Defense under the farewell of the generals.Wang Shumao and the generals again studied the war plan against India, and also found a way to solve the three points put forward by Qiao Zhiqing.The reason why the Ministry of Defense adopted the battle plan of first the south and then the north, and Britain first and then Russia, was because Russia was caught in the confrontation in Europe and could not withdraw for a while to look at the east.Britain, on the other hand, stayed out of the way and continued to sell weapons to both sides of the war.While earning enough silver, he also began to consolidate his position as the world hegemon.Since it is the hegemon, there is no room for anyone to threaten its position.Britain also began to look at the dragon of the East squarely, as its first imaginary enemy.A month later, the National Academy of Sciences finally came with good news.All the tires that Qiao Zhiqing asked to develop meet the targets and can be mass-produced and assembled on all kinds of artillery.In view of the mountainous environment of Myanmar, the Taiyuan Arsenal has also specially developed an artillery suitable for mountain warfare.With the most advanced breech-loading firing device, the barrel is light and short, making it suitable for transportation and marching in the mountains.The Ministry of National Defense also handed over the final revision to Qiao Zhiqing, and through the cooperation and reconnaissance of the navy, army, and air force, the general situation of India's soldiers and horses has been roughly ascertained.It is true that the British army has deployed more than 50 warships in India, of which only 20 are ironclad warships, with a tonnage of more than 5,000 tons.The other 30 warships were all old wooden sailing ships weighing more than 3,000 tons.The hull is divided into three layers, the upper, middle and lower, and the three floors are equipped with guns, and each floor has about 20 guns.In order to solve the problem raised by Qiao Zhiqing, the Ministry of National Defense is ready to open up a third front.That is to seize sea supremacy, concentrate all the forces of the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet, crush the British navy, and then use the sea route to provide food and grass supplies for the army.Sea transportation is much more convenient than land transportation, but it is necessary to set up a base area in India first, from which grain and grass can be transported for the army.Regarding the first question, after careful discussion, the generals also unanimously agreed with Qiao Zhiqing's opinion.Zeng Guoquan and Du Wenxiu were really not reliable allies, and they only temporarily succumbed to the Huaxing army, retreating to Burma and India respectively.Once he was relieved, Zeng Guoquan immediately asked Qiao Zhiqing to confer him as the emperor of Burma.Du Wenxiu is even more impossible, he is already dissatisfied with the Han people, and now that India's territory is booming, he will definitely not easily succumb to the Huaxing army.Zeng Guoquan's last military report was sent last month, and when Qiao Zhiqing learned the news again, Burma had been completely taken by the British army.In the face of the advanced artillery fire of the British army, Zeng Guoquan's dense charge of the sea of people did not work at all, and he was killed by the explosion and killed by thousands.He has also fought with Hua Xingjun many times, so he naturally knows the benefits and disadvantages of this foreign gun.He did not fight hard, but retreated to the mountains with his soldiers and started a guerrilla war with the British army.In the mountains and dense forests, the accuracy of shooting will be affected regardless of the firearm.Zeng Guoquan also took advantage of this advantage and asked the soldiers to take out all the broadswords and spears that they had been using for a long time.Then, when the British army went up the mountain, they used the cover of branches and leaves to carry out a surprise attack and fight with the British army."
Brother Qiao, just save my ninth uncle, he is about to be killed by foreign devils now."
In the president's study, Zeng Jiyun and Qiao Zhiqing knelt on the ground, wiping their tears and begging Qiao Zhiqing.Zeng Guoquan saw that Hua Xingjun had not moved for a long time, and when he sent a letter of help to Qiao Zhiqing, he also sent a copy to his niece Zeng Jiyun.I hope that my niece can blow the pillow wind in Qiao Zhiqing's ears, and I don't want to see Qiao Zhiqing borrow a knife to kill people and use the British army to defeat the last strength of the Hunan army.He didn't know Qiao Zhiqing's thoughts about India, if he only supported Burma, the Huaxing army would be able to send troops from Yunnan in an instant.But now that India is involved, Qiao Zhiqing has to seriously consider various matters, otherwise he will really become a lone army, and it will be easy for the British army to wait for work and annihilate each one."
Ji Yun, you get up first.Fighting a war is not a child's play, and for a while and a half, it is not that you can send troops if you want to. ”Qiao Zhiqing helped Zeng Jiyun sit down on the couch and made her a cup of tea to suppress her shock."
Then Qiao Zhiqing agreed to send troops to Burma" Zeng Jiyun's face was full of anticipation, and his heart was pounding anxiously, and he couldn't calm down."
Don't worry, your uncle will be fine, I have given the order to send troops to Burma, and soon a large army will go south to help your uncle resist the British army."
Qiao Zhiqing touched her head and gave her a little relief.In fact, he didn't want Zeng Guoquan to rule Myanmar again, Zeng Guoquan's desire for power was too heavy and not easy to control.This time, the British inflicted heavy losses on the Hunan army, and the Huaxing army also happened to go south to take over the defense of Burma in an all-round way.The first woman Qiao Zhiqing met when he broke into this era was Zeng Jiyun, and his first girlfriend was exactly the same as Zeng Jiyun, and he actually had the deepest affection for Zeng Jiyun.From the emotional point of view of ordinary people, he handed over Myanmar to Zeng Jiyun's uncle and nothing.But he is not an ordinary person, he is the president of a country, and everything must be done in the interests of the country
