The 10th Town Army was originally the headquarters of Dong Guochang under the Marquis of Lu, and the troops were all powerful private soldiers, and the combat effectiveness was very poor.

Dong Guo Chang had been a smuggler earlier, the battle of the Wei had been fighting soy sauce in Zhao Xun's First Group Army, and after the withdrawal, he still nominally retained his military position, because Wei Guo and Xian signed a garrison agreement and trade privileges, Dong Guo Chang got the franchise right to engage in transportation in Wei Guo, and under the arrangement of Baili Yan, in the name of commerce as auxiliary logistics, wedged into the core logistics network of the Central Plains.

Jiang Yu restored the Tenth Town Army this time, and he would never use Dongguo Chang, most of them were Qing Xijun Mi Yuan's father and son, or the Yan family.

But whether it was with Qing Xijun or Yan's family, Jiang Yu had to face a thorny problem, officer and military training.

According to Jiang Yu's wishes, he rejected the "kindness" of the officers sent by Bailiyan, and in addition to the commanders, chiefs, and flag leaders in the Xian army, more than seventy percent of the officers were trained in the military battalion and the military academy.

The question is that it is no longer the era of 30 years ago when cold weapons were used to fight and anyone could carry a three-plate axe, and it is simply a joke to delegate generals who fight with cold weapons to serve as an army equipped with automated weapons.

Therefore, Bai Liyan did not plan to pull the Tenth Town Army to the front line at all, which was also the reason why Lu Tingxun the Ninth Town was transferred to rotate Zhao Huan.

In mid-July, my sister Bai Lijuan, brother-in-law Li Dai, and my in-laws Li Zhu arrived in Chenling with their grandson Ji Yao, granddaughter Ji Yingyu, and the children of a group of relatives from the side door.

After inquiry, I learned that the Li family had come to take refuge on this trip and did not plan to return to Boyuan for the time being, but Ji Kang still did not come, and most of them couldn't pull off that face.

Since the beginning of the war, there have been many noble relatives and wealthy businessmen like Li Zhu who have lived on the coast, and there are not a few families who have moved into Xianguo.

Excluding the families of refugees and conscripted foreign soldiers, as well as the recruited foreigners, craftsmen and their families, more than 700,000 people from the vassal states who have been registered and legally moved in in the past four years alone, and many of them are wealthy people and powerful people who have moved in with their families.

The elite class has industries in the country, and they can't leave if they want to, so they let people go to a safe place to play an outpost in advance, and when the situation changes in the future, they can still give up their jobs to save their lives.

In addition to the consideration of capital hedging and life safety, the wealthy class is actually more worried about the plague.

If you have money, you can spend money to eliminate disasters, but the ticket to Huangquan, King Yama has always been unstingy to give away for free, and the little ghost personally comes to handle the business, and you have to go if you want to go.

As a result, these wealthy merchants who moved into Xianguo first poured into key cities with developed medical resources such as Chenling and Wang's family, so that the price of land in the city skyrocketed, and even the inns were overcrowded and difficult to find, so some people simply lived outside the city.

Ruitian, Xuanyun, Yongxing, Wuping, Wanchuan County and other places are not open to the outside world, and the rich people who can't squat in Chenling and Wang can only go to the west of the capital county, and then go to the Guangxin territory, or Lucheng and Xuanting.

These are all economic areas where the resources of the three marquis and the imperial court are focused on construction, and the medical and educational resources are relatively abundant, as long as there is money, even if it is a good medicine for the king of Xian.

At the end of September and the beginning of October, the armpit completed a strategic encirclement of the northern part of the Changsun Peninsula, dividing several inland counties from the frontal battlefield. At the same time, the sea area west of the peninsula was about to move, and traces of the advance fleet were found in the ocean east of Yan and Qiguo.

In view of the deterioration of the situation, Bailiyan persuaded Jiang Yu to convene the princes to form an alliance with Chenling.

On the twenty-third day of November, on the border between Zhiguo and Xianguo in Chunan County, a special train was waiting on the border with billowing steam, and Bai Liyan and his son-in-law Gongliangxu went to the station to pick up people.

At this time, a team of chariots and horses and thousands of cavalry of the Zhiguo Forbidden Army came in a majestic line, and the scene was very grand. Soon after Tang Yuanxiang inherited the throne, Gongliangxiu served as the Great Si Nong, in charge of the national economy and agriculture.

"Xu'er, go to meet your father on behalf of your father."

"No."

Gong Liangxu turned over on the horse, kicked the horse's belly, and went with his entourage to the team of the alliance, and walked fast for thousands of miles, and in the blink of an eye, he was already at the forefront of the team, and his brother Gong Liangnuo saw that Gong Liangxu was coming, so he said to his father Gong Liangxiu in the car:

"Father, it's the second brother who is here."

"Well, let's stop."

"No."

After a short time, the convoy stopped, and Gong Liangxu came to the front of the car and stepped forward to give a slight salute:

"Brother, don't come unharmed."

Gong Liangnuo turned over and dismounted, raised his hand and returned the salute:

"Thanks to the second brother, everything is fine."

"Where is Father?"

Gong Liangxu asked, and Gong Liangxiu stepped down from the rear carriage and stepped forward:

"It seems that Xu'er is still concerned about being a father."

Gong Liangxu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:

"Xu'er will always be a good son of his father, how can he forget his worries."

Gongliangxiu picked up his son, and said with a smile:

"As a father, I thought that Xu'er had been fascinated by your father-in-law's delicate daughter, and she had forgotten to be her father and your mother, hahaha."

"The father is really making fun of the child, how can the child be addicted to women's sex." Gongliangxu argued, but the more he described it, the darker it became, causing Gongliangxiu and Gongliangnuo to laugh.

Gong Liangxu was thin-skinned and couldn't bear to be teased by his father and brother, so he changed the conversation and said:

"Father, what about Mother?"

"Your mother is still in the back of the line with the nobles, and it is not too late to see your mother again when she arrives at the place. You lead the way, go to see Bailiyan first. ”

"No."

The father and son took only a few dozen escorts and rode northward along the gallop road, arriving at the border between the two countries in a few moments.

"After years of not seeing, Brother Gongliang will come unharmed."

Baili Yan gave a deep salute, and Gongliang Xiu stepped forward:

"Everything is fine, my king is very grateful to Xianguo for turning the tide and saving the Central Plains from trouble, and specially instructs me to thank him on his behalf."

"Hehe, you and I are both in the same vein of the Central Plains, and it is a natural move to rise up to resist the enemy, what is the difference between inside and outside."

Gongliangxiu's respect is not only Zhiguo's heartfelt thought for Xianguo, but it is not a strategy in the political arena. No amount of gratitude and humility is just a mouth, a little spit, and it does not bring the slightest practical benefit and benefit.

In short, gratitude doesn't cost money.

After some greetings, the content turned to the topic, and Gongliangxiu said bluntly:

"After the alliance, you have a few percent chance of winning."

"There are seven to eighty percent before a full-scale counteroffensive, and after the counteroffensive it depends on the situation. According to the information currently available and the situation of the enemy and us, we have a good chance of winning the battle in the Central Plains.

In addition, I am afraid that it will be too late to conclude an alliance this year, and I am afraid that it will be delayed until the beginning of spring next year, so there will be no full-scale counteroffensive next year, and only counterattacks and fortifications will be carried out in local areas. In this way, the princes of each country will receive millions of guns, and the victory will be even greater. ”

Gongliang Xiu thought about it in his heart, and then asked:

"The guns made in Xianguo can really equip millions of princes."

"I might as well make it clear that last year Xianguo produced more than 500,000 guns of various types a year, and by the end of this year there will be another 5.78 million, and next year's production of more than 600,000 guns will not be a problem. In the last two years alone, 1.1 million pieces of artillery have been built, and nearly 15,000 artillery pieces of various types have been built, and it will not be difficult to equip one million princes next year. ”

There are a lot of guns mass-produced in the past two years, but only more than 400,000 are two-type guns, and the remaining 700,000 are two-type Yongxing rifles, shotguns, revolvers, and grenade launchers with simple production processes and shorter industrial time.

Most of the ones that can be equipped to the princes are two-type series and grenade launchers, and there will not be many series, which are only used to equip the elites of the princes, and at the same time, in order to prevent the princes from posing a threat to the Xian army after the war.

As for the calculation of more than 15,000 guns, it is much more complicated, including 80 mortars, 121 rocket launchers, breech guns, improved conscienceless guns, 645 modified guns, 654 mountain guns, the largest number is 80 milli mortars, the total output exceeds 6,000 guns, which are widely used in infantry support operations.

The Type 657 was put into production not long ago, and the output was almost negligible, so the number of artillery produced was large, but the quality was not high.

received a positive reply from Bailiyan, and Gongliang Xiu had mixed feelings in his heart.

Nowadays, the princes of various countries cannot build a million cold weapons in a year, and the Xian country can build a million hot weapons in two years, and the disparity in strength is like a difference between clouds and mud, which cannot be compared.

After continuing to chat for a while, Gongliang Xiuren went back and ordered the brigade to go north into the territory of Xianguo, and take the train to Chenling to attend the meeting.

Nowadays, the alliance is much more convenient than ten years ago, and the pavilions and palaces of the kings of various countries in the tomb have direct telephone access to the palace of the capital of the vassal states, so this alliance is different from the past, and the king will no longer go to the host country in person.

First, communication facilitates communication, what happened one minute ago, can be known after a minute, and second, there is an epidemic of epidemics, which leads to all kinds of unpredictable events on the way, but there are exceptions.

This meeting was nominally proposed by Liang Guo and held in Xianguo, so if the Son of Heaven did not come in person, it would be unreasonable. Moreover, for such a major political event, the Son of Heaven is shackled by 100,000 catties, and even if he pulls it, he has to pull it.

After waiting for more than two quarters of an hour, all the Zhiguo missions entered the territory of Xianguo, and most of them saw the train for the first time in their lives, and they could not help but be amazed and curious.

In a delicate and gorgeous four-wheeled float, a graceful woman lifted the curtains and looked at the three trains not far away, not only exclaiming:

"It's a train."

Gong Liangxu's mother, Qian, who was sitting next to her, said:

"That's right, this iron car is as powerful as an ox, and it can pull hundreds of thousands of millions of stone weights without effort, but it's amazing."

The young woman had a look of envy in her eyes, pondered for a moment, and said:

"If the Marquis of Yongxing is in the Jin Kingdom, these may be owned by the Jin Kingdom."

The woman's words were full of deep meaning, and Qian could not help but feel a little embarrassed, she said:

"Don't let the king hear this, that's not good."

But then the woman laughed:

"Actually, I was just about to say that if the Marquis of Yongxing is in Zhiguo, he can also be owned by his husband. If it is in a country of disobedience, it is also true of a country of disagreement. ”

"Oh...... I see. What does that mean? ”

Qian was puzzled, and the woman put down the curtain, returned to the car, and said with a little sadness:

"The only people who can win the hearts of Yongxing Hou are my mother and aunt, but in this current situation, isn't it a creation to make people."

Qian suddenly understood something, and comforted the woman and said:

"The world is impermanent, the number of lives has its own destiny, the mother should cherish the current time, don't live up to God's will."

"yes, got it." The woman replied softly, like a peach blossom in spring, with some warmth.

After a while, the accompanying maid outside the car tent reported:

"Mother, it's time to get on the train."

"Oh, go right away, you can stand down first."

"No."

After explaining clearly to the maidservant, the woman clenched her fists and clasped them on her chest, and said in a panic:

"It's the first time I've been on a train, and I'm really scared."

"Don't worry, this train is much smoother and more comfortable than a horse-drawn carriage."

"Alright then, let's get out of the car and have a look."

The woman carefully stepped out of the tent, carried a wooden box with vermilion lacquer, and followed the road opened by the Zhiguo Forbidden Army until she reached the platform.
