It is believed that the rise of Europe was associated with the wars that followed the Renaissance. Europe fought with Turkey, European countries fought each other, and the brutal war created a huge demand for technological progress in society. Engels said that once there is a demand in society, it can promote the progress of science and technology more than ten universities. So the technology of warfare in Europe began to advance by leaps and bounds.

Whether it is war equipment or understanding of war, in the face of the Goryeo army, which has never actively and passively participated in the brutal competition, the Hunan army has an overwhelming advantage in the Chinese civil war that has been defeated repeatedly but can survive until now. Especially in hand-to-hand combat, the Goryeo army was inferior to the Manchu army, and the more than 1,000 Goryeo troops west of the Yalu River were completely annihilated by the Hunan army in less than an hour.

The Hunan army annihilated the Goryeo army west of the Yalu River like a wolf, and then grabbed the ships of the Goryeo army and began to cross the river, and the Goryeo army east of the Yalu River immediately began to flee after seeing this situation. This time, they came with a total of more than 3,000 people, which is a relatively high proportion of the more than 10 million Goryeo population. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a population of 500 million, the army was only 900,000, and even if it was a million army, it was only 1 in 500. Goryeo used an army of 2/10,000 of the country's population, or 1/5,000, in just one dispatch.

Such an army was by no means idle, with a difference of 1 in 5,000 and 1 in 500 by tenfold, but the Manchu army, which claimed to be a million, did not disappear now. What's more, the Manchu army ate empty salaries, and the number of their troops could be maintained at one thousandth, that is, 500,000 was already a remarkable number.

This is the comment of the Guangfu Army after getting the battle of the Yalu River, Hu Chenghe couldn't help but say, "When I fought the Hunan army, I just wanted to kill the Hunan army, but I heard that the Hunan army won Goryeo, and I felt a little happy." ”

Obviously, Hu Cheng and he are not the only ones who have such thoughts, and many of them have a sense of kinship with me. It's just that the Hunan army has always been the enemy of the Liberation Army, and it doesn't feel right to praise the Hunan army like this. Wei Ze didn't have any comment on this, this kind of attitude of distant relatives is human nature, even if the Hunan army is a lackey of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is also a Han person. The victory of the Han people in foreign wars is not a bad thing.

Seeing that everyone's meaning was similar to his, Hu Chenghe continued: "The Koreans still want to take advantage of the fire to rob, but now I see that they are completely wrong, and I don't know if they will choose the right person to follow next." ”

This is a question, will Goryeo directly surrender to the Manchus again? If Goryeo surrendered to the Manchus, how would the Liberation Army deal with Goryeo? These are all big questions. Everyone talked about it, and there were all kinds of theories. Weser was thoughtful about his own problems. If the Hunan army enters Goryeo, the situation in Northeast Asia will undergo considerable changes. At this time, the main strength of the Liberation Army was used to meet the challenge of the British, and the first priority was to build a stronger internal building. Fighting the navy relies on accumulation, and what China lacks is precisely industrial accumulation.

But Wei Ze couldn't help but have an impulse at this time, if the surrounding situation was a little more chaotic, would the Guangfu Army make faster progress under pressure? Even the surviving Hunan army was able to rely on 20,000 men to achieve a strong suppression of Goryeo, although the navy was certainly not the opponent of the Japanese navy, but at this time, the Hunan army and the Japanese army were fighting, and I am afraid that the chance of victory is not small.

"Governor, what's next?" Hu Chenghe asked Wei Ze.

"Fighting in the north, without cavalry, it is definitely not possible. Changshan Zhao Zilong is the cavalry commander under Gongsun Zhan, after the fall of Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Yun defected to Liu Bei, Liu Bei's army got cavalry, and the combination of arms was completed. Wei Ze was a little absent-minded, so he couldn't help but quote scriptures when he spoke.

"Wouldn't it be better to keep horses in Mongolia?" Hu Chenghe ignored Wei Ze's quotations, he asked the core directly.

"Huh! The Manchus did not have a sense of sustainable development, and the situation in Hebei and Mongolia was very bad. Weeser said.

In this era, there is actually no awareness of sustainable development in the country, and the situation in China is very strict. A very real problem, seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea. Chai is put in the first place. The closure of mountains and afforestation in Guangdong has begun, and the main motivation to start doing so is not really because the revolution is complete, but because the supply of anthracite suitable for making honeycomb coal has been guaranteed. The high-quality anthracite coal of Hongji Coal Mine is the most suitable for honeycomb coal, and the shipping is becoming more and more convenient and the scale is getting larger and larger. After a large number of people moved into the city, the population in the mountainous areas plummeted, and the damage to nature also plummeted.

But there is no such foundation in Hebei, where coal mines are abundant in Beijing, but there is no capacity for large-scale use in this era. According to the report of the Northern Military Region, the vegetation in the northern region, which was originally considered suitable for Yanmar, was extremely severe, and the wind was yellow dust rolling and sand was all over the sky. This kind of ghost place is really not suitable for large-scale breeding of horses.

This is completely different from what Weeser imagined, he thought that he was back to the "beautiful old days", as long as he developed industry to his heart's content, and polluted the environment by the way. I didn't expect to go back to the old era and have to bear the problem of destroying the natural environment in the old era that is even stricter than the 21st century.

Wei Ze lamented in his heart, "What a this TM is! ”

But at this time, Wei Ze felt that he understood another thing, why China's pace of industrialization was so difficult. The 500 million Chinese population is left here, and any fruits brought about by the development of productive forces will become incomparably small when they are spread over the heads of the 500 million people. Without a strong central government to "concentrate on big things," China's progress will be very limited.

Just like Guangzhou, which is now the leading city in the Far East, the city can become what it is now, not because of the natural development of society to this level, but because the new government led by Wei Ze forcibly pushed forward with a vision and strength that transcends the times. The same is true of Shanghai, which is developing rapidly. A modern city is emerging, and the so-called lane culture and generations living together will never again be a tradition in Shanghai. The new generation of Shanghainese grew up in the reinforced concrete forest, and this will be the unchanging foundation of Shanghai for more than 100 years.

"How is the governor going to prepare the racecourse?" Hu Chenghe only cares about this now, and the army commander naturally has his own love for cavalry.

"I still want to go to the north." Weeser said.

"I don't think it's appropriate, the north is still not clean. Dudu, you are the world, and with your habit of loving to walk around, we really don't feel at ease. "Without waiting for others to speak, Lei Hu came out to speak. The security of Wei Ze is the biggest hidden danger now, and the north did not become the territory of the Guangfu Army until last year, and the land occupied for less than a year is almost no different from the enemy's territory for the current Guangfu Army.

"That's right, the governor still has everyone's interests first. As long as you're there, there's no problem. Hu Chenghe also said sincerely. At this time, what he needed most was to be believed by Weese.

"Then I'll at least have to open it." Weeser said. In Nanjing, Wei Ze really has no score in his heart, there are no northerners in the Guangfu Army, and the temperament of the south is actually very different from that of the north. In particular, on the issue of land reform, the land reform in the Huanghuai Plain in the north has a bearing on the stability of the entire Central Plains and the north. If there is a problem with land reform, I am afraid that there will be no Ningri in the north.

"Governor, there are many things in the south, you went to the north, what should the central government do? Do you want to go north with us? Lei Hu asked. The place where Wei Ze is located is the central government, but now the south cannot do it on its own, either move the capital to Beijing or stay in Nanjing. The central government stayed in Nanjing, and Wei Ze ran to the north, what is that matter?

Wei Ze didn't answer immediately, he stood up and walked to the front of the map, "Now we must build shipyards in Tianjin, Qingdao and Lushun. There's so much going on in this that I'm really not at ease. ”

"With so many comrades here, what can I not worry about." Lei Hu asked, "If the governor is worried that the British will call, then he can't go away." ”

Some time ago, everyone was against Wei Ze going north, and now this kind of discussion has started again. Weser was both bored and helpless.

Everyone was in the stalemate stage, and the intelligence staff officer suddenly ran in and handed a secret document to Wei Ze, who was stunned for a moment after reading it, and then couldn't help laughing.

All the high-ranking soldiers wanted to know what was written in the intelligence, but the secrecy discipline has been very strict recently, and Wei Ze didn't say anything, and everyone really didn't dare to ask.

Raising the paper in his hand, Wei Ze smiled: "Hong Xiuquan has returned to heaven." ”

Everyone's eyes widened, Hong Xiuquan is fifty-four years old this year, and dying at this age is by no means an untimely death. However, in the past few years, the Guangfu Army has never really cared about Hong Xiuquan's situation, and I didn't expect him to return to heaven so silently. Everyone was shocked and didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.

"I don't know what he will say about his killing of the East King when he sees Heavenly Father after he returns to heaven." Ke Gongyu said with a sneer.

After listening to this, everyone suddenly burst into laughter. Now no one believes that Hong Xiuquan is the reincarnation of God's second son, and everyone has become more and more disgusted with Hong Xiuquan's killing of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, over the years. And after the recent internal rectification, a large number of executions of treason have been carried out. If Wei Ze really wanted to take this opportunity to deal with people he didn't like, he would naturally be able to go on a killing spree, at least a large number of personnel appointments and dismissals. Weser didn't do this, but restrained everyone with stricter discipline. So when it comes to Hong Xiuquan, everyone thinks of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom now occupies the northwest, and the new government certainly cannot sit idly by. Wei Ze ordered: "Send someone to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and ask the remaining brothers what they are going to do?" ”
