Chapter 1572: No regrets
Wu Zheng has already turned to Lu Zhiyu and Wu Yi, "Give you half a year, then you will learn and understand, continue to go back to Wu Songwei, if you don't understand...... Then learn until you understand. ”
Fang Guoan's face turned pale suddenly, he finally understood that Wu Zheng was not going to Lu Zhiyu and Wu Yi at all, Wu Zheng's goal, from beginning to end, was himself.
It must be those things...... was heard by the Changlin Guard, it must have been, Fang Guoan subconsciously looked at Song An quietly, and happened to meet Song An's gaze, Fang Guoan was startled, and hurriedly took his gaze back.
Fang Guoan opened his mouth slightly, he wanted to slap himself twice, but he didn't dare, he really didn't dare.
Because, Wu Zheng left him the last trace of face.
Wu Zheng can take back this face, but he must not take the initiative to discard it.
At this time, Wu Zheng had already begun to summarize, "The recovery of Fujian and Guangdong, the integration of the Zhengjia Naval Division and the Zhoushan Naval Division eliminated the threat of our army from the south, and the strategic direction of our army changed. Guangxinwei in the west advanced northward, and Jinhuawei took over the two prefectures of Guangxin and Raozhou, so that our army no longer had to guard the west. In this way, the direction of our army can only go north, then north, and all the way north...... A change in strategy does not mean a change in tactics. You are all battle-hardened veterans, and you should know that there is always only one direction for soldiers, and that is to attack. What kind of defense, transfer, that's all an excuse for fooling yourself, the essence is that you can't beat it....... ”
“…… The greatest defect of our army, the absence of cavalry like the enemy, made the marching speed much inferior to that of the enemy. But now, the construction of the railway from Hangzhou to Wusongkou has been completed, and within two days, it is possible to transport the troops and equipment of the First Guard from Hangzhou to Wusongkou, and then transfer them to Jiangbei by sea ships. ”
“…… Ladies and gentlemen, I have to say, train, train, train! ”
"Sun Jiaji."
"The end will be."
"You lead the left battalion of the First Army, cross the river to the north with heavy artillery, and within a month, you must be stationed in Huai'an City, respond to Jiang Quanyi's Taizhou Wei in Haizhou, and deal with the sudden attack of the enemy from Xuzhou and Qingzhou."
"Yes."
"Chi Erhan."
"Yes."
"You will lead the right battalion of the first army to Jiangdu, and then send a powerful department to respond to the Tianchang of Fengyang Mansion...... Remember, it's not about taking the initiative to attack, it's about holding on, the enemy doesn't offend me, and then waiting for orders! ”
"Yes."
"From now on, Jinhuawei will be renamed Fuzhou Wei, stationed in Fuzhou, and will be on guard ...... north."
……。
As a prince and a general.
In fact, life is far less comfortable and luxurious than ordinary people imagine.
Of course, Wu Zheng can already do this.
But Wu Zheng didn't want to live like this.
It's a sense of mission, and it's in nature.
In fact, Wu Zheng's time, because of the inconvenient transportation in this era, seems to be even tighter.
For example, after this military meeting, Wu Zheng only "had time" to ask Father Wu for peace, and he didn't even see the face of the woman in the inner courtyard, so he went to the Songjiang Military Workshop.
This time, a one-way trip is a day.
The railway is open, but the speed is ...... Tsk, far from the wind-made lightning of a war horse.
It's only fifty miles in an hour.
This kind of speed is obviously not enough to replace horses, and it is not enough to form a combat advantage over Qing Cai.
Everyone in the world knows that the number of troops only represents strength, but the projection speed of troops determines the success or failure of the battle.
This is the true meaning of the phrase "imperial power exists only within a thousand miles".
However, if there was a rebellion in an area far from Kyoto, as long as the royal division could not arrive within five days, the situation would be eroded, and this had little to do with the strength of the officers and soldiers.
Wu Zheng's purpose in trying his best to make the railway appear in the world a hundred years earlier was to enlarge the Northern Expeditionary Army's force projection ability, there is a good saying, justice depends on the caliber of the cannon, and the truth is always only within the range of the cannon.
Of course, the prototype of the railroad actually appeared 50 years ago, and the British Biomot laid wood on the road to facilitate the transportation of coal, and at that time, such a road was called Rail, and today the word means rail.
Therefore, although the colleagues in the General's Mansion and the steam locomotives along the way had begun to gradually adapt to the billowing smoke, and the people who roared by, all praised this incomprehensible "monster" in unison, Wu Zheng's mind was very calm, this was not what he wanted, and his goal was a "train" with a speed of no less than thirty-five kilometers per hour.
Only when the speed reaches 35 kilometers per hour can it replace the speed of the war horse's force projection.
Only then can we truly do it, and we can easily intersperse and divide the enemy on the battlefield.
Wu Zheng's purpose in rushing to the military workshop non-stop was this.
……。
Fengyang Mansion Dingyuan City.
The first "enemy" Li Guo saw was Qian Qianyi, who came with the "King Wu's pardon decree".
This "King Wu's pardon decree" is obviously fake.
Li Guo didn't need to look at it to know, because at this time, King Wu should be "recuperating" in Hangzhou Mansion.
But this "King Wu's pardon" cannot be regarded as completely fake.
While Qian Qianyi showed this "King Wu's pardon decree", he also explained the origin of the pardon, and the other pass order he held had a letter from Jiang Quanyi, the commander of the Taizhou Weidu.
Li Guo and Jiang Quanyi have had several fates, know Jiang Quanyi, and also admire Jiang Quanyi, which has nothing to do with grievances and hatred, soldiers, only admire the strong, for example, Li Guo admires Jiang Quanyi's command ability in the first battle of Yizhen and the remnants of Yizhen, very admired.
That is a myth, especially in the initial situation of the Qing army's overwhelming war, which was praised by the people of more than ten prefectures along the river.
"General Ben is busy with armaments, what is the matter with Lord Qian, you might as well tell me clearly."
Li Guo swept the gift list presented by Qian Qianyi, to be honest, Li Guo was indeed a little surprised in his heart.
Damn, there are a hundred gold ingots alone, how many are they, five thousand taels of gold.
Tsk, Li Guo was almost a little embarrassed by the greed in his heart.
It's not that he hasn't seen gold, and when he followed Li Zicheng to the north and south, cut down the royal families who devoured the people's fat and people's ointment, and confiscated his family property, Li Guo had seen several times or even dozens of times the wealth.
But after the Great Shun Army retreated from Shuntianfu, Li Guo had never seen so much gold again, and he even thought that he would never see it again in this life.
