Another year passed, and in the spring of 1654, the Pingbei Army, which had been recuperating for a year, made another all-out attack on Wu Sangui. Although Wu Sangui also recuperated for a year, he seemed a little indifferent to the menacing appearance of the Pingbei Army, and the generals under him shouted one by one to destroy the Pingbei Army and unify China.

Last year, Li Dingguo officially joined the Pingbei Army, and his relatives came to Luoyang to meet Liu Xia, and when Li Dingguo saw Liu Xia's real person, he couldn't help but be surprised by Liu Xia's youth. At the same time, I admired Liu Xialai even more, he can have such a career at such a young age, in fact, ordinary people?

Li Dingguo officially hung out the title of the Storm Legion in the army, in fact, in addition to the official name of the soldiers and horses under Li Dingguo, the establishment and personnel under it were all built according to the legion, and many of the officers were from the armament academy. Now the whole army is there, and the officers who have come out of the armament academy are all over the army, and they have become a new faction.

While the Kuiwolf Legion, the Griffin Legion, and the Storm Legion in the south were preparing to attack Wu Sangui, the 100,000-strong army of the Blue Dragon Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion in the north began to continue to advance northward. A few years ago, Liu Xia let Zhang Yang enter the Mongolian steppe, and Zhang Yang also drew a fine map on the Mongolian steppe, so now this map is useful. The Blue Dragon Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion began to launch a general attack on the Tatars in the northern part of the Mongolian steppe desert with a map. At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth logistics, the Logistics Division and the Railway Division will also be pushed forward with the continuous advancement of the two corps. As long as the army takes one step, the railway advances one foot.

Although the Yellow River Bridge has not yet been completed, and the trains from Luoyang cannot reach Beijing, the boats on the Yellow River are busy, receiving supplies and people from the south bank of the Yellow River, and then transporting them to the trains on the north bank of the Yellow River. In this way, the materials can be quickly transported to Beijing.

In the same year, Japan's Honshu Island was fully occupied, a large number of Japanese were reduced to labor, and countless Japanese women were continuously sent to China's Qinglou. Liu Xia did not allow anyone to betray his own people, so the development of the Qinglou soon shrank, after all, most of the women in the Qinglou were illegally bought and sold, or were confiscated into the workshop because of the crimes committed by the court. But Liu Xia stopped letting women fill the workshop because of the crime, and let them work in the factory. Therefore, now Qinglou cannot replenish fresh blood, and shrinkage is inevitable. So some people began to go to the Mongolian steppes to arrest Tatar women and Tatar women. The women of these two tribes are not protected, but it is not easy to pass the ** audit. After all, it is not so easy to tell whether it is Han Chinese or Tatars. Although it seems that the language barrier can be known as soon as you speak, in fact, some black-hearted traffickers have taught some Han women to speak Tatar since they were young, resulting in growing up unable to speak Chinese, and commanding to speak Tatar Manchu or Mongolian.

But there is good news from Japan, that is, there are a lot of women who can be sold, and a large number of traffickers are rushing to Japan to find good varieties to buy. Over the years, many prostitutes and prostitutes imported from Japan have become popular all over the country. For example, the Muto orchid in Luoyang City's Cuixiangfang. Sora Aoi of Yihongin Temple, etc.

Some of the Japanese who resisted were forced to retreat into Hokkaido, and some went to overseas islands by boat. The entire island of Honshu fell under the rule of the navy. Then Liu Xia announced the establishment of the Japanese government, which governed Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. And a large number of officials were sent there. He also brought a lot of people. The Japanese, on the other hand, were brought back to build the railway.

Liu Xia then built three large steel mills, two of which were located in eastern Liaodong. One is in Tangshan and two are in Anshan. Due to the gradual abundance of steel, shipyards began to build steel-armored warships again. The steel-armored iron ships of the navy, which had been delayed in construction, were put on the agenda again. Soon, at the end of the year, two warships of 20 zhang were delivered to the navy. Five 30-zhang wooden warships were also delivered to the navy.

So Liu Xia established the East China Sea Fleet, and transferred two ironclad ships, four wooden warships, and more than 20 small ships from the North Sea Fleet to form the second naval ship of the Pingbei Army. Liu Xia was worried about the threat of Taiwan's Zheng Zhilong, so he asked Yu Mingjun to leave the North Sea Fleet and go to Songjiang Mansion, where the East China Sea Fleet was stationed. Most of the people of the East China Sea Fleet were transferred from the North Sea Fleet, and their combat effectiveness was not weak. However, compared to the number of Zheng Zhilong's fleet, the East China Sea Fleet is still very small. However, in terms of the power of the warship, Zheng Zhilong's warship cannot compete with Liu Xia's warship.

Now Liu Xia's warships have begun to be powered by steam engines, and delicate and powerful steel guns are installed on both sides. Even if an ironclad ship is against Zheng Zhilong's three-sailing warship of the same size, it will defeat me.

The North Sea Fleet took out seven adults and went to Songjiang Mansion and entered the sequence of the East Sea Fleet, and soon the number of people that the North Sea Fleet lacked was also found. The number of the East China Sea Fleet is 20,000, and there is no fleet commander for the time being, and Yu Mingjun is concurrently serving as an envoy. Because the responsibilities of the East China Sea Fleet are too great now, ordinary people Liu Xia can't trust them.

Among the water army, there is only the trust of Liu Xia, who is deep in Mingjun. For a long time, Yu Mingjun seemed to have a high military rank, but he had only 20,000 men under him. It is far from the general commander of those Xingdu Divisions. Under normal circumstances, the commander of the Xingdu Division usually has two legions, each of which was more than 20,000 at the beginning, but now it has increased to 50,000, which means that the commander of the Xingdu Division has 100,000 troops in his hands.

But he was the governor of the navy of the same rank, and he only had 20,000 people in his hands. Now that the East China Sea Fleet has been established, the total number of soldiers and horses under Yu Mingjun has reached 40,000, although it is not much, but it is much better than before. After all, the soldiers and horses in the hands of a person with a car rider are not more than half of that of a cavalry general, which is really not good-looking.

Then, at the request of Yu Mingjun, Liu Xia divided the special forces of Ying Yangwei into two. Among them, three adults were selected to enter the naval system, and the Navy Eagle Guard was formed, and the remaining seven became Army Eagle Guards. The sailor eagle Yangwei selected the remaining seven adults from the navy. As a result, the construction of the first special forces unit of the Navy was finally completed. The Navy Eagle Yangwei is still a guard-level establishment, directly under the leadership of the Navy Governor's Office. In this way, Yu Mingjun once again served as the boss of Ying Yangwei, which inspired many army scouts to want to enter the naval system. After all, Yu Mingjun's fame is there, and there are no longer a few people who worship it.

Since the threat of Wu Sangui on the Yangtze River was resolved, Li Dabai, the deputy commander of the North Sea Fleet who went to the Kuiwolf Legion to help Ma Peng, also returned to the North Sea Fleet with his warship. At the same time, he served as the deputy commander of the East China Sea Fleet, and the North Sea Fleet's current mission was to protect the shipping route to Lushun in Liaodong and connect Korea and Japan. All while keeping them safe.

And the East China Sea Fleet has only one purpose, and that is to deal with the threat from Taiwan. After Yu Mingjun established the East China Sea Fleet, he explained Liu Xia's arrangements to the main generals of the East China Sea Fleet. Immediately, the entire East China Sea Fleet entered the stage of preparation for war. Because the dragon group received information that Zheng Zhilong planned to attack the supply ship destined for Liaodong with a naval division, and the East China Sea Fleet must intercept Zheng Zhilong's naval army and destroy it on the spot before it reaches the Bohai Sea. Otherwise, once they are allowed to enter the Bohai Sea, the consequences will be unimaginable. The loss of a large amount of materials is small, and the damage to dozens of transport ships of several hundred meters is a big loss. You must know that Liu Xia doesn't have many ships that big now.

Although the entire territory west of Shenyang is now occupied by the Pingbei Army, water transportation saves labor costs after all, and the speed is also fast. So now most of the supplies shipped to Liaodong are by sea. And the purpose of the sea route is no longer Lushun, but has become Bayuquan. And a railway from Beijing to Shenyang is speeding up the construction, once the construction is completed, you can go directly from Luoyang to Shenyang, from the previous months to go back and forth, it can be shortened to ten days, the time is saved a lot, and it is also of great help to the development of Liaodong.
