April in the world is full of flowers,

The peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom.

This poetic meaning is far-reaching, and it also illustrates a law, that is, the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature, and similarly, in terms of geographical differences, the higher the latitude, the lower the temperature.

In April of the sixteenth year of Chongzheng, the palace examination of Guiwei Branch has just ended, and the capital is already full of spring, while Siberia is still icy and snowy, but the howling cold wind is not so sharp and piercing, which also contains a little breath of spring, the ice and snow are about to melt, and a big war will begin again.

At the beginning of April, the railway line west of the capital was suddenly blocked by the Dingliao army, and the wagons drove out of the factory of the Daming Machinery Group, slowly moving forward, one after another, as if lining up on the railway, every 100 steps or so, lined up for a full day, and did not see the drive away.

No one knew what was being pulled on the wagon, not only was the railway line blocked by the Dingliao army, but there were also loaded Ming soldiers standing guard on the wagon, and no one was allowed to approach.

From a distance, these trucks are strange, every other section, a compartment is dismantled, but the top is not empty, but covered with a thick black cloth, sealed tightly, so that people can't see what is placed on it.

Two days later, these strange wagons finally set off one after another, one by one to the west, the distance between each train was less than two miles, as if for fear of being separated, and there were Ming soldiers on the undismantled carriages, as if they were afraid of people approaching.

The Ming army is so mysterious, what is it transporting?

In order to prevent Tsarist Russia from probing the situation of armored combat vehicles and discussing countermeasures in advance, Zhu Cijiong made great efforts to keep it secret, except for the Ming Royal Machinery Group, which developed armored combat vehicles, and the Ming army officers and soldiers trained in the northwest of the capital, no one knew that the Ming army had been equipped with this kind of land war artifact.

After all the freight items for transporting armored combat vehicles departed, the senior generals led by Lu Xiangsheng, the Dingliao Army, and the 200,000 prisoners of war who had been escorted to build the city also set off in buses one after another.

About ten days later, Lu Xiangsheng led most of the people to rush to Rem City, at this time, the entire Rem City railway station has been tightly sealed by the army, any idle people are not allowed to enter the train station, on both sides of the truck equipped with armored combat vehicles, it is three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, here is not idle people are not allowed to approach, except for the soldiers who take turns to stand guard, that is, people wearing the uniforms of the Ming army, it is also strictly forbidden to approach.

The city of Rem is located in the southern part of the Siberian Plain, where the snow and ice have melted, and it will take some time to go further north.

Lu Xiangsheng did not sit here and wait, but summoned all the legion commanders to Rem City and began to arrange the next combat mission.

He was looking for a relatively large conference room, because this was a strategic arrangement, not a specific operational command, so there was no sand table model in the conference room, only a huge map of the Siberian Plain hanging on the wall at the head of the conference table.

This map can be said to be a bit peculiar, in addition to the terrain, landform, place name, longitude, latitude and the garrison of the enemy and the enemy, there are many colorful arrows, which look colorful and green, so beautiful.

Although there were only generals at the level of corps commanders, the number of participants was quite large, and the army side:

Deputy Marshal of the Army, Sun Chuanting, the chief general of the Qin Army;

Deputy Marshal of the Army, General Cao Wenzhao of the Guanning Army;

Liaodong Army General Man Gui;

Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang Army;

Qin Gongming, the chief general of the Dingliao Army;

Cao Bianjiao, the chief general of the First Army of the Border Guards;

Ma Xianglin, commander of the Second Army Corps of the Border Guards;

Zu Dabi, the commander of the Third Army of the Border Guards;

Hou Gongji, the chief general of the Fourth Army of the Frontier Army;

On the naval side, there are:

Admiral Yang Geng, Chief of the North Sea Fleet;

Admiral Chen Hui of the East China Sea Fleet;

Admiral Zheng Ming, Chief of the Arctic Fleet;

There is another one, although he is not a general of the Ming army, but he also participated in the Great War in Siberia, this is Shi Daxuan, the head of the Ming Royal Shipping Company.

For the new type of map hanging on the wall, the young generals who have participated in the training of the Daming Army Military Academy, such as Qin Gongming, Cao Bianjiao, Ma Xianglin and others, are naturally clear at a glance, but the generals who have not participated in the training, such as Man Gui, Mao Wenlong, and a number of naval generals, are in the clouds.

After everyone arrived, Lu Xiangsheng coughed, and then said loudly: "Everyone, let's start arranging this year's combat mission." “

When the generals heard this, they all raised their heads and chests, sat up straight, and looked serious and obedient.

Lu Xiangsheng paused, and then, with a "whoosh", he stood up and said solemnly: "The emperor has a decree that the entire Siberian Plain must be taken before September this year!" ”

When the generals heard this, they all stood up, raised their hands and saluted, and said in unison: "The last general will obey the order." “

Lu Xiangsheng glanced around, pressed his hands, and said loudly, "Everyone, please take a seat." “

With a "swish", all the generals sat down again, while Lu Xiangsheng picked up the ash rod on the table, turned around and walked to the map, and said loudly: "Sun Chuanting, Man Gui, Mao Wenlong, Ma Xianglin." “

The four generals who were named rose up in response and said in unison: "The last general." “

Lu Xiangsheng immediately pointed to the defense line from the Western Regions to the main trunk of the Ye Ni River on the map and continued to say loudly: "I order you to lead the Qin Army, the Liaodong Army, the Dongjiang Army and the Second Army of the Frontier Army to garrison the line from the Western Regions to the main trunk of the Ye Ni River, of which Ma Xianglin led the Second Army of the Frontier Army to garrison Rem City, Sun Chuanting led the Qin Army to garrison the first line from Rem City to Tunguska City, Man Gui led the Liaodong Army to garrison Tunguska City, and Mao Wenlong led the Dongjiang Army to garrison the main line of Ye Nihe River north of Tunguska City, and the entire defense line was under the unified command of Deputy Marshal Sun Chuanting. “

When the four of them heard this, they gave a military salute together, and said in unison: "The last general obeys the order." “

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, waved them to sit down, and then said loudly: "Cao Wenzhao, Qin Gongming, Hou Gongji." “

The three generals who were named rose up in response and said in unison: "The last general." “

Lu Xiangsheng pointed to Rem City on the map and continued to say loudly: "I order you to lead the Guanning Army, the Dingliao Army, and the Fourth Army Corps of the Frontier Army to set off from Rem City and attack the Tsarist Russian fortress along the line of the Ob River, and the deputy marshal Cao Wenzhao is responsible for commanding the operations along the Ob River. “

When the three of them heard this, they gave a military salute together, and said in unison: "The last general obeys the order." “

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, waved them to sit down, and then said loudly: "Yang Geng, Zheng Ming." “

Yang Geng and Zheng Ming rose up in response and said in unison: "The end will be." “

Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the Ob River valley and said loudly: "Order the two of you to lead the North Sea Fleet and the Ming Royal Shipping Company to assist the army in transporting supplies in the Ob River valley. “

When Yang Geng and Zheng Ming heard this, they gave a military salute together and said in unison: "The last general obeys the order." “

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, waved them to sit down, and then said aloud: "Cao Bianjiao, Zu Dabi." “

Cao Bianjiao and Zu Dabi rose up in response and said in unison: "The end will be." “

Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the Tunguska City on the map and said loudly: "Order the two of you to lead the First Army of the Frontier Army and the Third Army of the Border Army to attack the Tsarist Russian Fort on the front line of the Yenihe River with this commander. “

Cao Bianjiao and Zu Dabi gave a military salute together, and said in unison: "The last general obeys the order." “

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, waved them to sit down, and then said aloud: "Chen Hui, Shi Daxuan." “

Chen Hui and Shi Daxuan rose up in response and said in unison: "The last general (villain) is here." “

Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the Ye Ni River valley and said loudly: "Order the two of you to lead the East China Sea Fleet and the Ming Royal Shipping Company to assist the army in transporting supplies in the Ye Ni River valley. “

When Chen Hui and Shi Daxuan heard this, they gave a military salute together, and said in unison: "The last general (villain) obeys the order." “

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, waved them to sit down, and then began to point to the various arrows on the map to arrange the specific battle plans of the Ming army.
