Chapter 144: Political Stratagem Fight the Mongol camp again

Liu Yun's telegram reminded Zhang Zhimu of the idea of distributing canned food to the team that had been trying to give the expedition. However, the glass tube head is fragile and not conducive to carrying, so it is better to use tinplate cans. And the process of tinplate and galvanized sheet is similar.

Zhang Zhimu said to Li Dong and Li Yunhe: "That's right. We just told you to make a galvanized sheet. Now I will add another task to you, not only to make galvanized sheets, but also to make a kind of tin plate. Both types of boards have their own uses. ”

"Mr. Zhang, if you can think of anything, just say it all at once, and we will remember it together." Only Li Yunhe dared to joke with Zhang Zhimu. However, Li Yunhe's words made everyone laugh and made Li Dong glare at him fiercely.

Seeing that today's meeting was almost over, Zhang Zhimu said: "Let's see if everyone has nothing to do!" ”

Many people left the table when they heard Zhang Zhimu say that the meeting was dismissed. There were also many people who were very concerned about Liu Yun's situation, so they stayed and did not move.

Ouyang He and Chen Yufeng had finished reading Liu Yun's telegram, and everyone broke up, Ouyang He came over and handed the telegram to Zhang Zhimu, saying, "It seems that Liu Yun and they still need to fight." ”

Zhang Zhimu took the telegram and looked at it, and the telegram read:

"Command Center:

We have bypassed the Naturalization City and successfully reached the Daqingshan Pass. The Chahar tribes had set up blockade camps in various mountain passes in Daqingshan, and on our way into the mountains we came across a Mongol camp, which we were preparing to open up for our convoys. We will keep in touch with the family at all times.

Liu Yun.

September 18, 17th year of Chongzhen"

Zhang Zhimu said: "It's good to have a telegram, we can keep track of their situation at any time. I really didn't expect our experimental radio station to work so stably. ”

"Liu Yun, this kid, this little thing has to be reported, no one will care about them in the future, and they won't fight." Chen Yufeng was actually very happy to know the information about using them at any time, and he hoped that Liu Yun and them could be exercised.

Ouyang He smiled and said, "Come on!" Mr. Chen, Liu Yun, if they don't send you a telegram for two days, you're afraid you'll have to scold. ”

Chen Yufeng's face also showed a smile.

Zhang Zhimu said to Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He: "I just asked Li Yunhe and his father and son to make tinplate, I want to use them for canning. This thing does not rust, and combines the strength and formability of steel with the corrosion resistance, soldering and beautiful appearance of tin in one material, which has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, non-toxicity, high strength and good ductility. We can put meat or vegetables and fruits into tinplate canning boxes, and after high temperature processing, the food can be stored for a long time without spoilage. In the future, it is very convenient for the troops to carry it when they go out. Especially if we go to a desert island in the future, there is no fresh water, and canned food is a good thing. ”

"Isn't it more portable to sail long distances?" Ouyang He said.

"I went to our shipyard to see it, and I heard about their ships. There are two cold storages, what can be stored as soon as they are frozen, and canned food is used? Chen Yufeng hasn't seen the benefits of this can to people.

"Not everything can freeze. For example, if you freeze the fruit, it will be difficult to eat. Except, of course, frozen autumn pears. Zhang Zhimu said, "Besides, the canned food is processed, the taste is still very special, and it can also be used as a household product." If you don't want to cook at home, you can open a jar and eat it. You wait for me to get them out and then evaluate them. ”

After listening to Zhang Zhimu's words, everyone followed suit. Li Yunhe said: "When I go back, I will quickly get this tinned steel sheet." I'm just waiting for the canned food. ”

Li Yunhe and the others all left after learning about Liu Yun and their battle situation. Yan Boju, Lu Chengxiang, Yan Xing and Li Yan did not leave.

Li Yan saw that everyone was gone, and said to Zhang Zhimu: "I asked Mr. Yan, Yan Xing, and Mr. Lu to stay." There's one thing I'd like to talk about. I have seen and seen, and now with military strength, we can say that there is no one in the world who is invincible. The factor that restricts our attack now is that we don't have too many officials to be sent out to govern the places that have been defeated, and if we directly appoint people as local officials, it will be difficult to guarantee that they will act according to our ideas, so we are now preparing to establish the School of Business and Politics and prepare to train political talents from scratch. But I think that cultivating people in this way can only be for our future development, even if they graduate, they have no practical work experience, and it is difficult to be of great use. ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that Li Yan must have had his own thoughts before saying this, so he didn't speak. Liu Yun continued: "Since Mr. Zhang said that he plans not to expand the territory on a large scale within three years. I think that from the middle of next year, we should implement an electoral system in each locality and directly elect local officials. Because at this time, the grain is also sown, and there is nothing else. Our officials will also have a year and a half to accompany these elected officials in their governing activities. When the three years are up, we can withdraw a large number of cadres who have been tested by three years of work, and these people will go out and take over the new places, which will be a very useful force. ”

"It's a good idea." Ouyang He said, "If our cadres are withdrawn, the police we send out may not be withdrawn, and they are equivalent to the armed supervision forces we have sent out." In the absence of national unity, such a monitoring mechanism is necessary. Officials in various localities are not allowed to use their strength, but can only rely on the police to exercise judicial power. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "We took three years to complete the takeover and transformation in Shanxi. In the future, with experience, we can transform Shaanxi in two years. We are not in a hurry, in five years, there will be many places that invite us to renovate. ”

Everyone affirmed Li Yan's idea, and Zhang Zhimu also said: "Li Gongzi immediately explained everything we will do in three years. All right! So that we have a goal. But administratively, we should also do a little bit of something. My proposal is that starting next year we will issue a decree, first, prohibiting the sale of human beings; 2. The age of marriage for a man and a woman shall not be less than 16 years; Third, it is forbidden for girls to bind their feet, and violators are severely punished, as for how to punish them. Li Yan, you have to study a way, and you must punish them so that they don't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool. Especially those who dare to participate in foot binding, whether it is a parent who does it or who instigates it, no matter who it is, will be imprisoned and punished. ”

Yan Boju said: "Don't be so troublesome, just chop your hands directly." ”

"I want to do the same," Mr. Zhang said, "but we will abolish corporal punishment in the future." We can't do that yet. ”

"Implementing a new system will never work without strong means, and our new government will have to ban it. Otherwise, all the decrees in the future will be waste paper, and no one will take it seriously. Ouyang He said.

Zhang Zhimu said: "Li Gongzi, I see that your School of Commerce and Politics still needs to open a special judicial major. In the future, we will govern the country according to law, and it will not work without the support of a large judicial contingent, and no one will be empty words. ”

Li Yan said, "Okay. When we're ready, we're ready. Fortunately, there is no shortage of people in our judicial field. ”

Yan Xing said: "Now there is a problem, and we should all discuss it. What should we do about Qinshui? In some places, the officials we sent out had almost nothing to do. The clans there are very powerful, and they have a monopoly on almost everything big and small there. Isn't it time for us to do something about them? ”

"Don't say we're here, even the officials of the Ming Dynasty couldn't take care of much of things over there before." Lu Chengxiang said.

"I think we'll leave them alone for now." Zhang Zhimu said, "In the past, the officials of the Ming Dynasty could not guarantee their safety, and the people there needed clan forces to protect them. Now the leaders of the clan forces will not easily give up the rights of the independent kingdom in their hands. We don't have to touch them at this stage. We don't care if there are any difficulties. After three years, just hand over the taxes. If we don't pay taxes, we have a reason to move them. ”

"Mr. Zhang's opinion is right," Li Yan said, "after three years, the people there will see that they will not get any benefit from following those clan forces." When they found that the people in other places were doing well, they naturally stopped doing it. If we do it, we will have the foundation. ”

Zhang Zhimu felt that Li Yan was still very far-sighted politically, and he was also very glad that the personnel structure of Yaogang was very good.

"If we move them, we will use thunderbolts, and we must completely disarm them, and those who dare to resist will be killed. The slightest softness on our part can do a lot of harm. "Chen Yufeng knows them very well about these clan forces." If not, move them away. ”

Ouyang He said: "Our handling of these clan forces is better delayed. Otherwise, wherever we go in the future, the clan forces we encounter will be enemies. This effect is not small. ”

"There are pros and cons to everything." Zhang Zhimu said, "If we don't solve them, we have too many countries within a country in Shanxi, and that will definitely not work." I'll talk about it in three years, but it's actually less than three years, that is, more than two years. ”

"I look at something that may not be so complicated in three years," Mr. Yan said, "and the whole of Shanxi will be the same, and they will know what to do for themselves." We'll talk to them about it at that point. If they were smart, they would know that we had been saving them face, and they would know what to do. ”

Liu Yun and they repaired in place for a day, and ordered the engineer company commander, "You must clean up all the ** that did not explode for me, otherwise staying here will cause hidden dangers, and I don't know who will run into it and be unlucky." ”

Liu Yun had long heard Zhang Zhimu say that the harm of this ** was too great. If you don't get rid of it right away, you can do a lot of harm.

The engineer company commander said: "Don't worry, we are all working according to the map, and we will also check according to the map, and we are reluctant to throw it away if there is no explosion." ”

"Do you dare to go through it yourself after clearing the mines?"

"Of course you dare, no problem." The engineer company commander said, "I am absolutely relieved of my soldiers. I'm the first to go through the mine. ”

This time, after the sappers cleared the mines, the commander of the engineer company really led the soldiers to walk in a line along the minelaying area. Liu Yun was relieved.

This time, they captured more than 600 horses. They are used to carry the marinated horse meat. The team continued to move in the direction of naturalization. But this time, Liu Yun always felt that something was missing. As he walked, Liu Yun suddenly thought that there were no prisoners after this battle, and the few wounded prisoners were all killed by Prince Tori after the interrogation.

When Liu Yun and the others bypassed naturalization from afar, they could see the naturalized blue brick wall with a telescope. Prince Tori kept muttering beside Liu Yun, we can fight naturalization with just one charge, why don't you fight, it really doesn't make sense. Liu Yun was also very annoyed, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

When Liu Yun and his brigade were naturalized, Liu Yun sent a cavalry regiment to guard the naturalization direction.

As expected, there was no movement in the direction of naturalization. Liu Yun: They successfully bypassed naturalization.

After a few days of smooth marching, the brigade approached Daqingshan.

This Daqing Mountain is a big mountain in the middle of the Yinshan Mountain Range, and there are many large and small mountains around it.

The Yinshan Mountains are located in central Mongolia and run east-west. Including Wolf Mountain, Wula Mountain, Serten Mountain, Daqing Mountain, etc. Since ancient times, it has been a natural dividing line between agricultural and nomadic areas. The Mongolian name of Yinshan is "Dalan Kara", which means "seventy black mountain heads".

Before leaving the customs, Zhang Zhimu once talked to Liu Yun about the Zhaojun Tomb, Wudangzhao Temple, Bailing Temple, and Meidaizhao Temple in the Daqingshan area, because in his previous life, Zhang Zhimu had been there to worship and incense. However, at this time, Liu Yun was not in the mood to think about the ancient feelings, and the horse in front came back to report that the mountain pass in front had been sealed by the Mongols with a camp.

Liu Yun and the others took their horses to the front, looked at the Mongolian camp with a telescope, and asked Li Jing beside him: "You say, is it Li Zicheng's Dashun army that is easy to fight, or is it the Mongolian soldiers who are easy to fight?" ”

Li Jing snorted with her nose and said, "It's all the same, one shot will fall." I don't see the difference. ”

"Then you say this camp, how to fight?"

"Look at them, they all have the same virtue as the Dashun army, they all put the defensive side into the mountain pass, and their backs are facing us." Li Jing said: "However, you can see that they seem to have gotten the news and know that we are coming." The fortifications that are built against us are new. We need to be careful, they have a couple of cannons there. It can't compare to ours, but it's enough for him to bite. We shouldn't wait for them to fire the cannon before we can lift it for them. ”

Liu Yun said: "There are two ways. One is the old way, you go over at night, bring some **, and blow up their fences. Then our platoon was bombarded, and the cavalry rushed over to settle the battle. And then we completely blasted their fence with mortars and then charged. What do you think of it? ”

"Come on!" Li Jing said, "You just said let me go." Keep your mortar shells, maybe you can use them for something else later. ”

Liu Yun smiled and said: "It's still the old rule, you just bury the ** and pull the fuse out." Get out of the way. We'll take the camp tomorrow, and he'll show Prince Tori how we're fighting. ”

Li Jing sighed and said, "This battle is not interesting, it is all an old routine, and there is nothing brilliant at all." ”

"Don't worry! They are just putting on this posture of being beaten, and we can't help but cooperate? ”

Li Kui was polite next to him and said, "Why do you seem to be going to a banquet, and you still think that other people's dishes are old routines and have eaten enough, yes?" ”

Liu Chenghuang also came over and said: "Uncle Kui, not only the two of them, but we also think that this battle is not a big deal!" ”

"I think you are crazy," Li Kui said, "haven't you heard that the proud army will be defeated?" ”

"What Uncle Kui said," Liu Yun said, "don't be too crazy. If we fight such a camp and we die a few more, then we will not go back. ”

At this time, Prince Tory came over and said, "General Liu, I have seen this camp, their defenders will not exceed three thousand, and after we have finished shelling, I will rush over with our cavalry first." You can take down this little camp in one fell swoop. Do you think it's okay? ”

"Nope." Liu Yun said: "Your cavalry is not many in the first place. It's finally at your doorstep. I can't let them slip through the cracks. I decided to build this camp again tomorrow. Tomorrow we will blow up their fence and cover them with artillery fire, and you will charge again. ”

At night, Liu Yun and the others chose a sheltered place and surrounded a camp with a horse-drawn carriage. After dinner, Li Jing took his special forces, and the engineer company commander led the sappers to cooperate, and quietly came to the front of the Mongolian camp.

Li Jing sent his special forces, dressed in camouflage uniforms, and quietly climbed in front of the Mongol camp. They found that the Mongol camp was too simple to build, but there was no shortage of wood in the mountainous area, and the fence and walls of the camp were made of thick wood. Although these Mongols were informed, they knew that some very powerful Mongols and Han Chinese were coming in their direction. They have also made some precautionary preparations. However, from their hearts, they looked down on the Han people, and even more so on the Mongols who relied on the cowardly Han people. So their vigilance is not very high, and they have always felt that it is a big deal, and they rush over to fight with them. How did they know that the Han people who came this time were their ghosts. Although they also built towers, on which there were also sentinels. But before Li Jing's special forces could climb in front of the fence of the camp, they heard the sentry on the tower snoring. Li Jing's special forces almost stopped laughing. I thought to myself, what kind of battle are such soldiers!

They found out the situation in the camp and sent people back to inform Li Jing of the situation. Li Jing and the engineer company commander arranged for someone to quietly send the ** over and place them under the fence of the camp. Then he put the lead in place and withdrew it.

Liu Yun and his brigade quietly came out before dawn and ambushed to the starting position that had been surveyed in advance. Artillerymen and heavy machine gunners were also ready.

It was very early on the grassland, and when the sun had just risen and the Mongolian soldiers began to cook and feed the horses, Liu Yun ordered the engineer company commander to "detonate!" ”

The commander of the engineer company waved his hand to the sappers who had been prepared a long time ago, and the sappers pressed *** at the same time. I heard a loud bang, and a large row of wooden fences in front of the camp was blown into the sky.

Liu Yun scolded, "Little rabbit cub, how many ** have you released?" ”

The explosion was so loud that everyone's ears were so shocked that they couldn't hear any sound at once, and no one could hear Liu Yun scolding.

However, the artillery officers in the back were ordered to open fire on the camp as soon as the fence was blown open. Liu Yun and his two cavalry regiments were not equipped with artillery. The artillery of the cavalry was formed separately, a total of ten artillery batteries, each with ten mortars. This time Liu Yun brought three artillery batteries with thirty mortars.

As soon as the explosion sounded, thirty mortars began firing freely into the camp. Rows and rows of shells flew by, blowing up the Mongol soldiers who had not yet recovered from the shock of the explosion just now, and these brave Mongol soldiers had never seen such an explosion, and as soon as they went down, the Andas in a tent were either killed or wounded. Cavalry has a habit that no matter what happens, the first thing they think of is to find their own war horse, and with a horse can they find their confidence. But shells rained down everywhere. I don't know which direction to go.

That's when something even more terrifying happened.

When the heavy machine gunners began to fire, they carried the heavy machine guns and ran to the front of the camp, set up the machine guns and began to fire into the camp. More than 30 heavy machine guns roared and began to fire into the fleeing Mongols and tents.

After almost beating all the time, Liu Yun said to Prince Tori: "Your Royal Highness, you can charge." ”

Prince Tori glared at Liu Yun with his eyes, thinking that the battle was almost over, and you let us charge, isn't this a joke for us? . But he knew that if he didn't charge, the chance to clean up the battlefield would be gone. As soon as he waved his hand, the Mongolian cavalry he had brought with him in ambush behind him rushed over on horseback. I saw the Mongol soldiers behind me rushing over. The heavy machine gunners stopped firing. Watch as the Mongol cavalry shouted and rushed into the camp.

The Mongol soldiers, who were frightened by the explosion of the shells and the bullets of the heavy machine guns, heard the sound of the machine guns and the explosions stopped, and the familiar sound of horses' hooves and shouts was heard, and the wildness of these Mongolian soldiers was also aroused, and they got up, and those who caught the horses immediately climbed on the horses, and those who did not find the horses also drew their swords and rushed towards the attackers who were getting closer and closer. But what they didn't expect was that although the cavalry who rushed over were all dressed as Mongols, they did not hold swords in their hands, but double-barreled muskets. When they rushed forward with their scimitars brandished, their opponents raised their hands and fired a shot. These charging Mongol cavalrymen had been trained by Liu Chenghuang and had learned the tactics of a three-person group, but they forgot all about it as soon as they charged. When an opponent rushes over, it is a shot, but fortunately, they are loaded with shotguns, and one shot at close range can solve the problem, and some can even shoot two at a time. The people who rushed in front of them quickly finished the two bullets, and then they realized that someone needed to cover and cooperate to change the bullets, but they and their partners had long since lost their way to run. I had no choice but to stop and change the bullets myself. Fortunately, the barrel of the musket is very long and heavy, and when there are no bullets, when an opponent rushes over, they will not suffer a loss in dealing with the musket. At this time, the brothers in the back will also make up for him to solve the problem.

Liu Yun was outside, and when they saw Prince Tory rushing into the camp with his team, there was soon a burst of "bang-bang" muskets, and Liu Yun knew that the battle was about to end.

Sure enough, after a while, Prince Tori returned. He said to Liu Yun: "General Liu, let's go!" Enter the stockade! We've all dealt with them. ”

Liu Yun followed Prince Tori into the stockade, and saw that there were broken dead bodies everywhere. Fortunately, Liu Yun and the others did not fire the fire oil bomb this time, because Liu Yun and they knew that they would soon be in the mountains of Prince Torrey, and the things in these camps were also very useful for their people who had been trapped for a long time.

What Liu Yun didn't expect was that there was no loss of the entire column and the entire column of war horses.

Coming to the vicinity of the horse pen, Liu Yun saw that Prince Tori's Mongol soldiers were driving out the horse keepers, and it seemed that they wanted to drive them out and kill them. Liu Yun asked, "Your Royal Highness, what are you going to do with these horse breeders?" ”

"If there is not a single Chahar left, they will be killed."

"They were also slaves captured by the Chahars. You should take them in and serve you. Maybe they're still enemies of the Chahars, don't you think? Liu Yun said.

"Good! and they will be our slaves. Prince Tori said, "Oops! Wrong. You kiln people are not allowed to have slaves, and my tribe is not allowed to have slaves in the future. If they want to join our tribe, let them follow! ”

Liu Yun's words saved hundreds of horsemen.
