Volume 17 Chapter 64 The Ming Army Military Academy
While the development of the Siberian Plateau was in full swing, the Siberian Plain was already preparing for a winter break, when wagons loaded with grain and grass arrived at the cities of Rem and Tunguska via the Western Regions Railway, and then returned with soldiers from the vassal legions.
The entire railway line was busy, and the Ming army was obviously transporting supplies and preparing for the winter.
In the dense freight train, there is a passenger car is particularly special, where it passes, all the wagons are avoided, from the Tunguska City all the way to the Shaanxi Xingdu Division although there are many wagons on the railway line, but this passenger car has not been hindered at all, all the way through, extremely fast.
After passing the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, the speed of this passenger train is faster, speeding all the way, and the fastest time, the speed is twice that of ordinary trains!
This is the latest type of train developed by Daming Royal Machinery Group, which uses the latest engine concept and is driven by multiple sets of precision pistons, which is naturally extremely fast.
The passengers carried by this special train are also very special, if you are lucky enough to walk into the carriage to have a look, you will definitely be dazzled by the eyes full of stars, in the carriage, in addition to the elite guards, everyone else has golden stars on their shoulders!
This train can be said to have gathered more than half of the senior generals of the Ming Army, here, the major general is nothing at all, and the lieutenant general does not dare to speak loudly, because there is a general and corps commander sitting on this train, and there is more than one, what is even more exaggerated is that in the first carriage, in the middle position, the three generals sitting around a small table, the epaulettes are all shining golden dragons!
These three people were Lu Xiangsheng, the generalissimo of the Ming Empire, and Sun Chuanting, Cao Wenzhao, the deputy marshals of the army, and they all received an edict from His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire: to speed up the young generals with promising prospects under him to enter Beijing.
This will is a bit too simple, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao, who are far away on the front line, also don't know that an army training base and an army officer school are being built in the northwest of the capital, so they can't figure out what the emperor wants to do.
There was nothing to do that day, Lu Xiangsheng invited Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao over, and the three of them chatted with a pot of tea.
Lu Xiangsheng took a sip of hot tea, tasted it carefully, then looked at Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao, and finally stopped his gaze on Sun Chuanting, and asked kindly: "Boya, you are the most scheming, tell me, why did the emperor invite us back to Beijing this time?" “
When Sun Chuanting heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Jiandou, why do you have to bury me with this every time we meet, if you want to say what the emperor means, even you don't know, how can I know." “
Lu Xiangsheng is not burying Sun Chuanting, he really admires Sun Chuanting's resourcefulness, after all, Sun Chuanting is just a weak scholar, but he can always achieve impressive results, this is naturally not obtained by bravery, mainly by strategizing.
He saw that Sun Chuanting, who had always been full of wisdom, couldn't guess what the emperor meant, so he had to turn his attention to Cao Wenzhao.
This Cao Wenzhao is not famous for his wisdom, contrary to Sun Chuanting, he mainly relies on force and bravery, he naturally doesn't know what the emperor means, and he didn't think about this problem at this time.
When he saw Lu Xiangsheng looking over, he couldn't help but say worriedly: "Marshal, we have taken most of the generals away this time, there will be no loopholes in the defense line, if Tsarist Russia takes the opportunity to attack, wouldn't it be dangerous?" “
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he and Sun Chuanting looked at each other and smiled, and then said lightly: "If Tsarist Russia dares to take the initiative, it will be easier, I'm afraid they won't come." “
Cao Wenzhao still didn't understand, not that he was stupid, the main thing was that his strategic vision was not as high as Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, and he asked puzzledly: "This, if they concentrate their forces to attack a little, won't we be in a hurry, after all, most of the generals are not there, and the command is definitely not as flexible as before." “
Lu Xiangsheng smiled and explained: "From a local point of view, we will indeed be very passive, but from a strategic point of view, we have taken the initiative, the reason why the war situation in Siberia is stalemate, is not that we can't defeat Tsarist Russia, but because they can't come out in the fortress, if they mobilize the main force to attack our defense line, we may suffer a little loss in the early stage, but as long as we mobilize a large army to annihilate their main force, the war in Siberia is over, because there are not a few people left in their fortress." “
When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he suddenly realized: "Wouldn't the emperor mean this, transfer us away and lure Tsarist Russia to attack?" “
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Sun Chuanting and smiled again, and then he shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, I think the emperor should have found a way to quickly conquer the fortress." “
Zhu Cijiong did find a way to quickly conquer the fortress, but he didn't recruit Lu Xiangsheng and them back just for this purpose, there were also army training bases and army officer schools waiting for them to take over, the reason why he didn't tell Lu Xiangsheng and the others was mainly to give them a surprise.
His bad taste for pranks can't be changed, but, fortunately, he never pranks on important things, and only in things like this that he knows late and knows later, he will occasionally come to satisfy his bad taste.
This time, Lu Xiangsheng and the others were indeed pleasantly surprised.
As soon as they got off the train, the surprise began.
Zhu Cijiong actually brought Bi Maokang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Sun Yuanhua, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Qin Liangyu, the chief general of the First Army of the Praetorian Guard, Qin Gongming, the chief general of the Dingliao Army, and Sun Zhixin, the head of the Daming Machinery Industry Group, to greet them at the train station!
This is really a big surprise, the emperor actually brought someone to greet him, I can't imagine it!
When Lu Xiangsheng saw Zhu Cijiong, the whole person was stunned, this, this, this, he was a little overwhelmed in the face of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops.
He was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, hurriedly went up, knelt on the ground, and led the mountain and shouted: "Weichen see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." “
Zhu Cijiong calmly accepted everyone's salute, and then went up to grab Lu Xiangsheng's arm, pulled him up, and said cordially: "Jiandou, hard work, no courtesy, no courtesy, everyone get up." “
Lu Xiangsheng and the others got up in a daze, followed Zhu Cijiong out of the station in a daze, and then followed Zhu Cijiong in a daze to get on the war horse, and ran all the way to the northwest of the capital.
After arriving at the army training base, Lu Xiangsheng obviously felt that something was wrong, the fortresses scattered everywhere were obviously not built for the defense of the capital, but seemed to be specially built for the purpose of practicing the offensive and defensive battles of the fortress.
After entering a valley, Lu Xiangsheng was even more dumbfounded, the valley had been filled with neat buildings, and at the entrance, a tall archway was built, and a row of big characters was written on the archway: Daming Army Officer Academy!
