Chapter 1046: Blood and Fire Nirvana

The border generals who fought against the flag of "Qingjun Side" were finally exterminated by the officers and troops composed of the Beijing camp and the local army. But the problems of the Ming Dynasty are far from being solved, and they are just beginning.

The rebel is dead, but the essay he left behind is still there, and it has a great impact.

Just like all internal and external wars in the Ming Dynasty, those who raise troops must first look for "righteousness" and become famous. The border general and the people around him, of course, understand these things, so they played the name of the Qing monarch, pointing to the emperor surrounded by traitorous ministers, and the direct evidence is that the emperor personally scolded "the Manchu Dynasty is a traitor". And count the crimes of those "traitors" in detail.

The gist of the text is that traitors rely on power to deceive the saints, annex government-run companies, and eat away at state profits. Power and wealth have been cut off from the upper echelons, and hundreds of millions of people have been destitute. The court is corrupt, the people are greedy, and wherever they have to deal with the government, they have to pay homage to relatives and bribes, and it is common to deceive and conceal flattery, and the government is not repaired, and the program is often chaotic. The ministers were poorly managed, and they only cared about fighting for power and profit, resulting in the people of the world, whether rich or poor, being extremely selfish and lacking a sense of public duty. From the court to the people, it was full of shamelessness and deception, moral degradation, and the collapse of etiquette and music.

At that time, there were already radio broadcasts, and the information in the text covered a wide area. And the people of the people are no longer the people of the early years of the country, thanks to the popularization of education, the literacy rate is extremely high, and the people's wisdom is gradually opened. For a time, public opinion exploded, and the government and the opposition wavered.

The rebel army also promised how to reform the situation in the court after eliminating the traitorous ministers and the party. At first it didn't play much of a role, because they were routed on the battlefield by the officers.

However, the rebel army, which had been ineffective in suppressing the border generals before, had taken the opportunity to grow, and the resistance groups in various places had become a prairie fire. As soon as the text came out, uprisings and riots were everywhere, and half of the Ming Dynasty was almost paralyzed. Even the Ming Jingshi had a riot.

The imperial court immediately summoned an army, formed a large army with the Beijing camp and the local military camp, and went north to quell the rebellion. The opinion of the cabinet was to first crush the largest rebel army, take the army first, and then divide and conquer.

Unfortunately, the local army defected and the government army was defeated. The first battle was over, and the situation was even more out of control.

The opposition scholars of some schools joined the rebel army, summed up the lessons of the failed uprisings of previous dynasties, and put forward a complete set of strategies, which extensively involved the military, government, and financial fields (now as historical documents). As a result, the rebel army claimed to only deal with traitors who committed the most heinous crimes, and adopted a strategy of co-opting the ordinary rich and capitalists. Sure enough, it worked, and the rich people who had no hope of defending themselves in many places, including some people with insight and ability, surrendered one after another.

The rebels gathered scattered forces from all over the country, used surrendered officers to train new soldiers, and requisitioned factories in the north to build weapons. Heavy artillery was deployed in the north of the river, and the fire blockade threatened the Ming naval fleet to enter the river and be ready to advance south at any time.

The Ming court lost half of the wall, and at this time, the emperor died of a violent illness, and the capital was in chaos.

, it is too late to find a new member of the royal family to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, and it is easy to continue infighting because of who to support.

The princes of the DPRK and China weighed the pros and cons, and formed a total of civil and military ministers with the new cabinet chief assistants and military ministers and nobles, imitating the Zhou Dynasty's Zhou Dinggong and Zhaomu Gong "republican", and temporarily led the military affairs of the imperial court with the republican system.

First of all, the commander of the Beijing garrison sent people to cross the river to negotiate, and proposed that the rebel army protect the imperial city, the Zhu family sect, the imperial tomb, and the civilians. Rebel Army

Agreed to the request.

So the Beijing division surrendered, and the second minister and some of the ministers, the emperor's relatives, led the Beijing camp to flee south. They went straight to Guangzhou, one of the Ming Dynasty's major industrial and trade towns, and then deployed troops in important places to the north.

At this time, the rulers of the Ming Dynasty should have seen the terrible situation when the great empire collapsed, the dynastic structure that lacked a buffer and release mechanism, the overly rigid system, and the devastating destruction when it collapsed. They probably know that they are wrong, the world is in chaos, and if they don't change, they will definitely die together or steal their lives, and no one will be spared.

Sichuan and other places are still waiting, and the Wei family of the Weiguo Mansion is in Sichuan, and has great prestige in the military circles; There is also the Wang family who fled to Sichuan from the Northern Jingbu Political Envoy and defected to the Wei family, which is also a prestigious family, and has marriage relations with many nobles.

Overseas naval bases, Western America, and Australia also did not speak out.

The two ministers of the republic and the republic planned to co-opt these forces and then go north to fight the rebels. Of course, the rebels also thought so, and they also wanted to win over the remaining elite troops and forces. At the same time, the two sides were fighting in various parts of the south, and the progress was slow.

Because the officers and soldiers chose a favorable location, built trench fortifications, and mobilized a large number of artillery and first-generation armored vehicles to garrison them, such a battlefield was simply a meat grinder, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner in a short time. The intensity of the war gradually decreased, and both sides began to draw together and divide each other.

The imperial court finally took advantage of the war in the West and raised the banner of nationalism. This is a double-edged sword, and the court has analyzed the pros and cons in detail before, but at this time, it can't be controlled so much.

At that time, Europe was already in a pot of porridge, and Deyizhi and France were in a fierce war; After Germany's ally Ottomans entered the war, they first pressed the army under the jurisdiction of the Ming State and drew the Ming Kingdom into the war group.

The government of the second prime minister sent a military order telegram to the overseas military towns, ordering the nearby military ports to increase troops. At that time, the industrial capacity in the area under the jurisdiction of the second-phase government in the south was greatly reduced, and the inventory of military ammunition on the front line was seriously insufficient, but the second-phase government still sent a fleet to deliver a large number of arms to the western front theater in order to maintain the Ming sphere of influence.

For a long time, in order to prevent overseas military forces from splitting up the territory, the military towns could not produce ammunition and weapons, let alone complex heavy weapons that required more industrial chains, so overseas armaments were all supplied locally.

All the government's announcements began to preach nationalism and the inability to lose the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence in the world, and many decisions were made to support the rhetoric.

The decision made by the rebel army occupying the capital was that the leader ascended the throne and became emperor, and issued an edict in the form of an edict to serve overseas. At the beginning, Jingshifang's idea should be to be justified and spread; At that time, most people still failed to change their traditional concepts, believing that the Ming Dynasty must have an emperor. But judging by the results, it was a stupid trick.

Many overseas bases accepted the military orders of the two-phase government and began to transfer troops to the west, and of course, they also accepted arms and salaries from the mainland. The Wei family and the Wang family led the Sichuan army, joined the two-phase government, were willing to obey all the government's military and political orders, and announced that they had entered a state of war mobilization.

Although the officers and troops are still at a disadvantage on the frontal battlefield, the overall situation has begun to turn around. The prerequisites were created for the second large-scale battle that followed......

The European battlefield is changing rapidly, and countries are constantly being drawn into the war group because of old contradictions.

First of all, the French Revolution caused wars between countries, and as a result

Under the pressure of the war, the coup d'état, extreme nationalism and racial superiority theory got out of control, and the war machine was launched with all its might, and together with the allies, he achieved superiority on the Western Front and expanded on all fronts in South Europe, North Africa, and the Arab region.

Britain, Russia, East America and other regions joined the war one after another.

At the beginning of the war, Britain and France were fighting each other, and they were originally enemies. Because of the outbreak of the Independence War in East America, France strongly supported the Americas and wanted to weaken Britain. The British were furious.

However, with the development of the war, the alliance of Deyizhi and other allies had a situation of unifying Europe, or at least dominating it. The British immediately abandoned their old grievances and joined the French camp, because Britain, by contrast, had always pursued a policy of continental checks and balances, and the dominance of Deyizhi touched its core interests.

On the North African side, the Ming army had long been aware of the military threat, and the Ottoman Empire was pressing the border. After judging the situation, the Egyptian Governor's Office decided to abandon the "West Port" fort on the east side of Alexandria and concentrate its forces on the East Port fortress in the Suez Canal.

The Governor's Palace's consideration was that the Mediterranean Sea was a military port and isolated from the outside, and the naval reinforcements were insufficient, so it was easy to be surrounded by heavy troops on land. When the Ottoman army came to attack, it was no longer strategic to defend the West Port.

But according to the tradition of the Ming army, it is unjustifiable to abandon the town in battle. So the general of the Xigang garrison led a hundred people to take the initiative to stay, and destroyed his position in the sky with the artillery fire, and used his life to offset the guilt of abandoning the city and land.

With the Donggang fortress as the center, the Ming army built several trenches and fortified positions, intending to defend the defensive line. Among them, the fortress made of reinforced concrete, half underground and half above ground, has the world's largest caliber fortress cannon. As a result, the Ming army withstood the early attack of the Ottoman army, which was dozens of times larger, with inferior forces, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. The Ming army could not retreat, and behind it was the sea of Suez Bend.

Although the Ming army was still in the lead in industrial weapons at that time, the world's major countries had completely entered the era of hot weapons, and the disparity in strength would still be quickly exhausted.

Fortunately, at this time, reinforcements in accordance with the military orders of the government of the second prime minister came, and the heavy artillery fire reinforcements of the naval fleet and the landing army reinforcements saved the Donggang fortress.

Later, a few years later, when the Ming Civil War ended and was put into the world's western front battlefield, the countries finally saw the horror of the main fleet of the Ming army. As a result, the Ottoman Empire disintegrated, forming the coast of the country that has been in existence until now.

And the Ming Dynasty also got its first rebirth in the death of countless people. The imperial dynasty will usher in a slightly brighter dawn, get up from the disaster, people will sum up the lessons and lessons, only with the sweat and heart of the people, in the ruins of the war, to rebuild the glory of the former empire, and sing the song of Jinling again.

…… Gao Xu stood on the seashore, looking at the tranquil waters of the Gulf of Suez, with water birds flying in the air and fresh air. There are some small sailboats for sports floating on the sea, and the scenery is peaceful.

But he could imagine that the huge iron ships and the rows of guns that had been covered here back then, black smoke shrouded the air like dark clouds. The people of the Ming Kingdom, who have always been conservative and modest, are fighting for their own interests and status at the cost of blood, fire and life. Because of the limitations of history, some wars may not be right or wrong, or even evil, but if you don't dance with wolves, how can you survive in troubled times?
