Chapter 129: Riding on the Victory (I)
87_87379 Reorganize the Zhenwei Army, the sword is pointed at Dagukou, if this camp falls on the Wuwei Army, it may not be well prepared for half a month, but for the Zhenwei Army, it is enough to reorganize the army in half a day, as long as there is a squad leader, the speed of the formation of the Zhenwei Army is fast, but the combat power is not much.
Dagukou, a key location, the five forts of Weizhen Haimen, can be said to be the maritime gateway of Beijing and Tianjin, Li Hongzhang's Westernization movement, built a lot of forts in various places in the Qing Dynasty, Weizhen Haimen five high forts, perhaps not as good as the two major military ports of Weihaiwei and Lushunkou in Beiyang, but the difference will not be too much, because Dagukou is not only the gateway of Beijing and Tianjin but also the gateway of Zhili, what is Beiyang? Naoli also!
The current situation is a chaotic situation for the imperial court, and it is also a chaotic situation for the foreign devils, whether it is Britain, France, Germany, the United States, or Japan and Russia, they do not want the Manchu Qing Dynasty to perish immediately, and they know better than anyone how important a cowardly Manchu court is to their interests in China.
There is also a reason why foreign devils support the reform of the Qing Dynasty, small Japan opened the country in order to change the law and become stronger, by Japan and the Qing Dynasty, what they want is a completely Westernized Qing court after the law change, Britain, France, Germany and the United States all support this, as for Japan and Russia, but such an idea can be in Japan, but it is difficult in China!
Future wars can only be fought in the north, and it is impossible for the south to be dragged into the quagmire of war, and as long as Li Hongzhang and others act in accordance with the mutual protection of the southeast, the war can only be fought in the north.
Shandong is not the best battlefield, neither are the three eastern provinces, but the area around Beijing and Tianjin is, no matter how you go around, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the foreign devils, they can't get around the battlefield of Jingu.
If you want to hold the Jingu area within a certain period of time, depth is important. A solid front is more important than depth, where is the solid front of Jingu? The five high forts of Megatron Haimen are!
Like Little Japan, after getting the hands on the Qing Dynasty's forts, foreign devils will not do this, and the forts at Dagukou have been purchased in the past ten years, and the purchases are basically heavy coastal defense guns from the original German Krupp factory. It's worth a thousand dollars!
The fort can be destroyed, but the Krupp heavy artillery on the fort, the foreign devils will not destroy it now, and if they take Dagukou as quickly as possible, the foreign devils may not even have a chance to destroy the heavy artillery.
The coastal defense heavy artillery is not a few casual strokes that can destroy the seven and five Krupp mountain guns, in addition to the power, the coastal defense artillery must also have considerable defensive power. Without a certain amount of time to prepare, it is impossible to destroy the heavy artillery at Dagukou.
If there are 50,000 or 60,000 horses to help defend the five major forts at Dagukou, the warships at sea will not be of much use. But it's still perfectly okay to fight a land offensive and defensive battle.
With the Dagu Pass as the edge and the land route around Jingu as the depth, it is not impossible to fight a war with a degree of advance and retreat.
After the annihilation of Huangzhuang, Li Dacheng set his sights on the Dagu mouth in the east, Jinmen is 90 miles away from Dagukou, 45 kilometers of land depth, supplemented by the tributaries of the Haihe River, the main stream and some artificial canals and ditches, such a terrain can be a battle.
"Dacheng. The main force of the Armed Guards is gone.
And ......"
Just as Li Dacheng was thinking about the future strategy, Wang Wu walked in with a worried face, and the Wuwei Army was unavailable. The Qing army was unusable, and after the First World War, Li Dacheng was also clear, the Qing army had been coaxed to the bones, even if there were millions of such an army. Even if there are planes and tanks, they can't protect this country.
Nie Shicheng's Armed Guards are no longer useful. Whether they go or not has little to do with Li Dacheng, from now on, Guishun Guibeile's Zhenwei Army is the strongest army in the Qing Dynasty. As long as there is a month of training, even if it is a frontal battle with the same number of people, the Zhenwei Army is not necessarily inferior to Little Japan.
"Let's go! Doesn't matter! Fifth brother, what is the morale of the Zhenwei army? ”
Writing down the strategy just now, Li Dacheng asked about the situation of the Zhenwei army, the remaining 60,000 Zhenwei troops in this battle are the main force in the future war, and the Wuwei Army or something just let them roll the calves, in the Jingu area In recent months, the old ladies have said that it doesn't matter, Guibeile has the final say.
"That's what I'm going to say, I'm starting to eat people below, I can't do this!
If the Zhenwei Army eats people, the whole country still doesn't regard the Zhenwei Army as a group of beasts? ”
Before Li Dacheng's military order was to bury the dead and wounded of the Zhenwei Army near the soil slope, and throw the corpses of foreign devils into the main stream of the Haihe River, there is a river in the Huangzhuang area, but it is not the main stream of the Haihe River, and it cannot enter the sea directly, from the Huangzhuang Tupo to the main stream of the Haihe River, there is at least a distance of more than 20 miles, after the war, no one wants to do this unlucky business, Li Dacheng's order to eat meat has become an order for the Zhenwei army to obey, and it is better to eat it than to transport it out, right?
Compared with the regular army like the Wuwei Army, the Zhenwei Army is cold and boundless, the Wuwei Army has a special baggage force and a man, the Zhenwei Army does not have it, and when you are hungry, you can get some sorghum and wheat ears that are still in the filling period in the field, which is the military food of the Zhenwei Army......
From yesterday to this evening, one day and two nights of hard work, the Zhenwei army has not had a serious meal, after a life-and-death battle on the slope, many people in the Zhenwei army have seen through life and death, and after the body is tired and desperate, who is willing to do the hard work of carrying the corpse?
If there is one thing to eat, you can pull up ten, if there are ten, there will be hundreds, thousands, and there will be hundreds of Zhenwei troops from top to bottom, Li Dacheng's actions this time really made Wang Wu a little unhappy, eating human flesh, this is not a human thing.
This thing has been done, no matter how well the Zhenwei army fights, it is impossible for them to become the official army of the imperial court, a cannibalistic team, who dares to risk the disapproval of the world to introduce them into the imperial court? By doing this, Li Dacheng is cutting off the way of hundreds of thousands of people, and Wang Wu can't compromise on this matter.
"Oh...... Cannibalism? It doesn't matter! Eight thousand foreign devils are enough to eat, our people must be buried well, we don't have a coffin, this tomb must be dug well.
When the meat is stewed below, bring me a pot too. ”
Inserting the pencil into the seized notebook, Li Dacheng replied to Wang Wu lightly, cannibalism is not a bad thing. Perhaps, the first to stimulate the tyrannical spirit was the more than 100,000 people up and down the Zhenwei Army, one person's meat yield rate is about the same as a pig, and the foreign devil of 8,000 people must have 60,000 or 70,000 catties of meat. It also saves food.
After this war, there will always be tens of thousands of people left in the Zhenwei army, and these tens of thousands of people will slowly spread out in the future, which will affect millions of people and tens of millions of people, not bad!
"Dacheng, did the fifth brother misunderstand you?"
With a wave of his hand, he drove the people in the tent out. Wang Wu stood opposite Li Dacheng and stared at Li Dacheng's eyes and asked.
"Fifth brother, what do you mean by that?"
Putting away the notebook with the future strategy, Li Dacheng looked at Wang Wu and asked a little confusedly.
"Dacheng. What are you organizing the Zhenwei Army to resist the foreign devils? ”
"Huh? The family and the country are all over the world, this is almost the same, right? ”
"Home and country?
Dacheng! You robbed the Jingshi, the fifth brother didn't know it, and the fifth brother also knew that the relief of the victims needed silver, and what you did in the Jingshi was also benevolent and righteous.
But plundered the belongings of the Kyoshi. Have you used it all to help the victims? I'm afraid you're just a drop in the bucket, right?
In the war with foreign devils in Jinmen, you Li Dacheng also stood on the side of righteousness, so the fifth brother brought the heroes of the rivers and lakes in the capital to Tianjin to participate in the war. The fifth brother also relied on this to persuade Li Cunyi, and this led to the Boxers from the left side of Jinmen to invest in the Zhenwei Army.
But what did you do in this battle? What are you doing now? The fifth brother really can't understand it, throughout the ages, there has been no cannibalistic army, but which of these people has succeeded?
Dacheng! What are you doing? What are you going to do? ”
Wang Wu can follow Li Dacheng, and righteousness is a very important prerequisite. Without the name of righteousness, the fifth sword king who is famous in Jinghua will follow Li Dacheng to do things? I want to go!
After arriving at the Tsumon Gate. Li Dacheng's actions are also remarkable, although he has done a lot of dirty and bad things in private. But these things are also acceptable to Wang Wu.
After the war, Li Dacheng, Wang Wu was a little incomprehensible, regardless of the life and death of the Zhenwei army, he connived at Nie Shicheng several times, and now he also connived at the Zhenwei soldiers who had no food and grass to eat people, in Wang Wu's opinion, Li Dacheng completely regarded the Zhenwei army as a substitute for the death ghost of the imperial court, this thing should not be!
"Fifth brother, what you said is good, but my brother also has a few questions to ask Fifth Brother."
Wang Wu is serious, Li Dacheng is also serious, Wang Wu is very valuable, the spread of kung fu needs Wang Wu, this person Li Dacheng must be retained.
"We brothers have time tonight, you can say it!"
"Good! I want to ask the fifth brother, what is the reason why the Qing Dynasty has been bullied by foreign devils since the Daoguang Dynasty? ”
"It's probably because there is a problem with the imperial court, if the imperial court can implement a new policy, it is not impossible for the country to be rich and the people strong!"
"Ha, the fifth brother also has some opinions, but that's not the reason, before the war, I was also a little confused, but after the war, I understood!
The weakness of the Qing Dynasty is not in the government and politics, but in the hearts of the people.
Officers and soldiers are not available, why? Because they're afraid of death! There were at least a million troops up and down the Qing Dynasty, right?
Since the beginning of the Daoguang Dynasty, foreign devils have invaded our country, and there has never been an army of more than 50,000 people.
In the First Sino-Japanese War, the officers and troops had guns and cannons, and there was a Beiyang fleet, and they were the same defeat against small Japan in the East Ocean, why? The failure of the court is one of them, and the people's hearts in the world are not successful, which is the key!
In the battle last night, the fifth brother was also on the battlefield, how much stronger are the foreign devils than the Zhenwei army? How much stronger is Little Japan than Zhenwei Army? Compare and take a look, we are not much worse than foreign devils, only stronger than small Japan, but what is the result?
The three Zhenwei troops can't beat a three-inch ding, and a group of people are chased and killed by several people, these fifth brothers won't have seen it, right? Why is that? Fifth brother, do you know?
It's still people's hearts! Without a cannibalistic heart, you can only be bullied, where did the Zhenwei army come from? Boxers! This is still practiced, and they are still so cowardly, if it is ordinary people, what kind of cowardice have they been?
Many people say that we are bullied, because the Qing court is too cowardly, have you thought about it, if the people in the world are not timid, even if the court is cowardly, who dares to bully us?
This person's heart remains the same, no matter how strong the country is, we are also bullied, not in the Manchu Qing Dynasty or someone else in power.
If the ministers of the court are not afraid. How can an old lady dominate national politics? If everyone in the world is bloody, how can there be bullying by foreign devils? How can there be so many treaties that cede land, pay compensation, lose power, and humiliate the country?
Fifth brother, do you think what my brother said is right?
What the brothers have to do is to fight through Guò Jinmen, inspire the hearts of the people in the world, and overthrow the court if it is not helpful. It's good that the Manchus can't kill it, the key is the people's hearts! Without a cannibalistic heart, our people will be bullied for generations to come, and they will not be able to raise their heads!
Maybe what I said was too radical, but the national situation is probably like this, and the Qing Dynasty will lose this battle. After the defeat, there are tens of thousands of indemnities, where do these indemnities come from, and they are not from exploiting and bullying the people?
Brother said so, does the fifth brother understand? ”
Telling his feelings these days, Li Dacheng's heart also relaxed. In Li Dacheng's view, this word is not suitable for the current Qing Dynasty, it is only the court and the people of the Qing Dynasty who are poor and weak, and the people who really control the wealth of the Qing Dynasty must not be said to be poor and weak.
Is the Qing Dynasty poor? Not poor! Moreover, he is very rich, and the Zhili Government Office also has records of finance and taxation in the Qing Dynasty, and Li Dacheng has heard Gu Qixing say that there is only one port in Tianjin. The annual cargo throughput is around twenty or thirty million customs silver, which is calculated as four or five million silver dollars and five or six million pounds. There are also more than 20 million in Yantai, which are the two major ports in the north, and if you look at the ports of Shanghai, Guangzhou, Ningbo, and Xiamen, this account is huge.
The Qing Dynasty's annual fiscal and tax revenues were more than 80 million taels, and how much was the gross domestic product of the private sector? I'm afraid the total value of billions of taels of silver, right?
A country with a population of 450 million, a country with a GDP of several billion taels of silver. A country that has been engaged in Westernization for nearly 30 years has a population of 40 or 50 million in Japan. In a country with an area less than the size of a province, the bullying will pay compensation for the cession of land. It doesn't make sense for a single court to do this.
After the defeat and peace, the Manchu court had a great responsibility, and the 450 million people in the Qing Dynasty had no responsibility?
The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and the husband does not regard the country as his own country, what hope does the country have? Everyone is for themselves, in exchange for being bullied by others, self-pity is not enough bullying, such people deserve it!
Enriching the people and strengthening the country is not something that can be done by borrowing a few theories, but working hard, doing it in a down-to-earth manner, and the devils are here to fight with their blood, and if there is no enemy, they have to work hard, this is Li Dacheng's understanding of the Qing Dynasty and the way to save the country.
Industry can't save the country, education can't save the country, is that really the case? Who exactly is twisting these things? Li Dacheng didn't say anything too deep, I hope that Wang Wu can understand the simple truth of people's hearts, right?
"Alas...... Dacheng, the fifth brother thinks it's okay to say these truths, but the fifth brother approves it, and does others also approve it? ”
With a long sigh, Wang Wu has nothing to say, put the facts and reason, Li Dacheng's words are well-founded, there is no way to refute, the court is guilty and the people are not guilty, this reason does not make sense.
"Huh...... Fifth brother, how many more years do you have to live? Fifty-six, right?
How about you watch your brother do things? ”
Fifty-six, in the Qing Dynasty is also considered to be a long life, most of the people do not live to forty, let alone those children who died of hunger, in Li Dacheng's view, the war of killing eighteen million will not hurt the bones of the Qing Dynasty, the first war of Jingu has just begun, more than 100,000 people, where is this?
As long as there is a relatively stable political situation in the future, and a little development of business, more people will not starve to death, and the detailed calculation of this account will be big, as long as Wang Wu can be explained, he will stand firmly by his side, and there are many people in the rivers and lakes and martial arts.
"The fifth brother has nothing to say about this matter, but the fifth brother still ...... about cannibalism."
"I've eaten it, no one can change it, let's go slowly and look slowly, fifth brother, you will see if I'm good or bad in the future!
Let's not talk about this for now, reorganize the armament, and let's talk about it tomorrow after we grab the Dagu mouth, okay? ”
Time is very important to Li Dacheng, half of Li Dahan's men and horses are still in the area of the Military Food City! I don't know if I have taken it, I must march to Dagukou tomorrow, and Dagukou must be captured within two days, otherwise the foreign devils will have enough time to destroy the artillery at Dagukou. (To be continued).
