In February 1873, the newly expanded 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army had 20,000 people, plus an artillery brigade directly under the division, and three garrison divisions, totaling more than 62,000 people, and a division of the British Army totaling 10,000 people, and the Qing Army's 50,000 green battalion soldiers, a total of 60,000 allied troops, and the two sides fought fiercely on the periphery of Guangzhou.After more than a month of training, more than 600 mountain artillery pieces captured by the British army in Hong Kong were all incorporated into the battle sequence of the Chinese army, and the original artillery regiment was expanded into an artillery brigade and directly under the first field division of the Chinese army.An infantry division with an artillery brigade, President Meng's army, the first field division of the Chinese army, is already a modern army in the true sense.It's just that in the artillery brigade, the original German Krupp Hill Artillery Regiment has no way to continue to serve, because there are no shells, in the battle of Hong Kong, all have been exhausted, and the number of stocks in Danzhou is limited, so President Meng did not let them bring shells when the 100,000 Danzhou Construction Corps arrived.Although there is advanced equipment and five production lines capable of mass-producing German Mauser Type 1871 rifle cartridges and British Enfield Type 1866 rifle cartridges, however, there is no way to shell shells for the time being.There are two reasons, one is technology, mainly steel technology, the material of artillery shells, which is more demanding than the material of bullets, and the other reason is that there are insufficient steel resources Hong Kong already has very advanced steel mills, however, minerals need to be obtained from Nanyang, President Meng has no resources in his hands, even if there are resources, President Meng is not willing, because it is too expensive If you transport iron ore from North Korea, the road is too far away, it is unrealistic, and it will take time to bring steel technology from Hong Kong to Danzhou, in fact, this thing is already being done.Therefore, if you want to have your own shells, find high-quality iron ore and coal mines in Guangdong, and mine a large number of them, this is in front of President Meng, a very urgent matter, now, President Meng needs to win the battle of Guangdong first, from the perspective of logistical conditions, the British are obviously better than the Chinese army, not to mention food and clothing, with Macao to help transit, a large number of ammunition can be continuously supplied from India, can support the long-term battle plan of the British army, which is why the British army is only an army of one division, it is confident to defeat the Chinese army.Two artillery regiments of the Chinese army, more than 600 British Armstrong mountain guns, but only less than 300,000 shells, not enough to support a long-term, large-scale operation Meng President pulled out, in the decisive battle in Guangdong, there is no way, or that reason, Hong Kong is not enough to support foreign invasion, leaving Guangdong, Hong Kong is a dead port, stinky Hong Kong, when President Meng defeated the British Hong Kong garrison, you know.The Hong Kong Garrison Division cannot be moved, and in order to prevent the British troops from forcibly landing on the sea, the British Navy has the ability to forcibly land on any coast, so in fact, there are only two divisions that are cobbled together to cooperate with the First Field Division of the Chinese Army, and it is only two divisions, the First Guangdong Garrison Division and the Second Guangdong Garrison Division.Let's not talk about the battle of the British army, just at the level of auxiliary arms, the two garrison divisions that have just been formed cannot be compared with the green battalion soldiers and the banner army in Guangdong.It is made up of full-time soldiers.However, the First Guangdong Garrison Division and the Second Guangdong Garrison Division were just peasant children who had just learned to line up and walk in unison.Although the strength of the Chinese army and the British Qing allied army on the battlefield in Guangdong was 60,000 people, 60,000 against 60,000, the Chinese army was far from the British and Qing allied forces in terms of both the main force and the auxiliary.The British began to kill people everywhere, and the Qing army was not far behind, and what was even more hateful was that the Qing dog British were foreigners, foreign invaders, and they always couldn't control themselves, even if the Chinese army ran to North Korea, it would be the same, but the Qing court, as the government, did this to its own people, which was incomprehensible to President Meng.Rally after rally, the voice of death everywhere.In such a society, the common people are miserable.At the same time, the war has also brought about many changes that President Moe did not think of before.Because too many men have died, this society is more women than men, many women want to marry Hua Jun, because marrying Hua Jun, there is a guarantee of life, Hua Jun is almost all Hua Cui Party, in this chaotic era, it is already the top level."
President, shouldn't we change the marriage law, now there are not enough people at all, and it is very common for several women to want to marry a Huacui party."
Princess Katrina Kaaf asked."
The Chinese army can only be monogamous, the Huacui party can only be monogamous, and the Chinese country can only be monogamous."
President Meng shook his head and said."
If you want to marry more women, it is still the law I set at the beginning, if you want to marry a second wife, you must pay taxes ten times the average national income, and if you want to marry a third, you must pay a hundred times" Princess Katrina Kafu was a little puzzled, but did not insist.Gege smiled: "Okay, I'll see how many wives you marry then."
You've got at least three of them now. ”Jiegege already knew about Li Taixi, Zeng Siping's marriage contract was decreed by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and she already knew about it.President Meng smiled: "I am the emperor of the different Qing court, how many women I will definitely not have more than the emperor, but ordinary people, can not be compared with me, otherwise, there will be no authority, the reason why I ban polygamy in Huaguo is because I don't want to let morality fall, does a man have the ability to support a bunch of women, if he doesn't have the ability to support, isn't it forcing public officials to be corrupt, do you want the officials of Huaguo to follow the old path of the Qing court" Jie Gege said angrily: "Don't say three sentences to the head of the court, the court also has a lot of Qing officials." ”President Meng smiled: "I really didn't find out how many Qing officials there are in the Qing court, you open your eyes to see what kind of life the people are doing, go and see, now the most murderous people are killed, is a court like the Qing court, will there be many Qing officials, the officials of the Qing country, all of them started from standing on the bones of the people, such a court, what is commendable" Jie Gege was speechless angrily.President Meng is also a little angry, the maintenance of Jiegege, a little almost at a loss, he doesn't know how to guide Jiegege, just like, President Meng sometimes doesn't know how to correct the people of the Qing country, it's not difficult to occupy the land, it's difficult to do a good job in the economy, it's difficult to win people's hearts, President Meng's road is too long.This is the same as the maturity of men, the maturity of men is definitely not to live at an old age, they can mature, many people are fifty or sixty years old, their thoughts, words and deeds, are still very naïve, giving people a feeling of disrespect for the old.President Moe doesn't like this kind of society.But President Meng doesn't know how to educate his people.President Meng feels more and more, lonely at the peak of power, he wants to turn his ideas into rules, into laws, and constantly correct the society, according to his ideas to change President Meng not only wants this society to be developed, but also this society is full of morality, all benevolence, which is not easy.The problem still needs to be solved, and the fact that there are more women than men is a social problem in this period, and it has evolved into a social contradiction.President Meng's method is to maintain the monogamous system, accelerate the flow of population from other provinces to Guangdong, Danzhou is too small in population Danzhou has the problem of more men and fewer women, as long as the flow of people is accelerated, these problems can be solved President Meng took Zengcheng bloodlessly, with the president guard and artillery brigade two artillery regiments to stick to Zengcheng, as a base camp.President Meng ordered the first brigade of the first field division of the Chinese army, that is, the Xuan Jianzhang department, to take Qingyuan, and the second brigade of the first field division of the Chinese army, that is, Luo Guozhong's department, to take Fogang and cut off the supply line of the Qing army The commander of the British army is Lieutenant General Ewan MacGregor, a very good army commander, who has fought for more than 30 years, large and small, and has been assisted by hundreds of battles, and more than 50,000 Qing troops under the command of Ruilin, the governor of Liangguang, have completely become the grain transportation team and engineers of the British army."
Your Excellency Commander, it is the First Brigade of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army that fought Qingyuan, and the Xuanjianzhang Division, the main brigade of the Chinese Army, has more than 6,000 enemies."
The adjutant, after combining the intelligence of the Qing army, reported to the commander of the British army, Lieutenant General Ewan MacGregor.t1706231537:
