Chapter 885: The Ancients Were Too Smart
A month later, it was already November 1669.
The cold wind has been howling in the north, and there are even a few light snowfalls, a light snow has fallen in Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi prefectures, the weather is gloomy, just like the cold of spring, the cold at the end of autumn is the coldest, in such weather, the cavalry of the 1st Guards Division and the 3rd Guards Division are constantly running around in the Gobi Beach and the grassland desert, on the Loess Plateau, and they are accompanied by soldiers of the cavalry brigade of the garrison army.
From time to time, the wounded were carried down from the "battlefield", most of them were fractured, their skin was broken, they fell into a cerebral disorder, or they were trampled on by war horses and injured their ribs.
Wang Yuqun, Qin Mo, and Shu Yousi just looked at it coldly, they sometimes exercised, but they were not as miserable as the soldiers, the cavalry equipped for the Guards Division appeared at the level of a cavalry brigade, that is to say, plus the cavalry brigade of the garrison, as well as a cavalry brigade attached to the remaining Bagyalu Corps, and the cavalry brigade of the Feng Wuyu Corps that was not transferred back, they had at least eight cavalry brigades here.
The cavalry brigade of the garrison army is a brigade of 3,000 men, the cavalry brigade of the corps is a cavalry brigade of 5,000 men, and the cavalry brigade of the Guards Division is a cavalry brigade of 6,500 men directly under the brigade headquarters.
The garrison was able to send four cavalry brigades to participate in the exercise, two cavalry brigades of the corps and two cavalry brigades of the Guards Division, with a total strength of 35,000 troops.
Of course, they are not trying to fight anyone, but to guard against the attack of the Yarkand Khanate from the Helan Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains, as for the Mongols, they are now basically disabled, and they have retreated to the steppe thousands of miles away from their territory, and they go hundreds of miles to the grassland, you can't even see a horse bandit, and the merchants are extinct, because the Huaxia army has solemnly warned which merchants who transport a grain of rice to the steppe, if they are caught, they will be executed, and besides, the Mongols have retreated north, and there is no figure for thousands of miles, and the merchants cannot do business.
"Where is there a cavalry brigade in the Merlin Fish Corps, where the garrison army can also make up two garrison cavalry brigades, this Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi Prefecture, to say that there is nothing else, to say that there is a brigade of cavalry, it is definitely very easy, especially those merchants in Shanxi Prefecture, any person can ride a horse, and they can also fight with the horse bandits on the horse, they are also brave people, but unfortunately most of them are not settled."
A cavalry officer of a garrison brigade said so.
He is a native of Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture, after Bagyalu swept through Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture to recover Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture, he became the cavalry company commander of the militia elite brigade from a militia, and later after several months of fighting with the Qing Dynasty, he grew into a garrison general, and after the garrison army was reorganized, he became the brigade commander of the garrison brigade.
The Guards Division was ready to go out to the Yarkand Khanate at any time, and the Merlin Fish Corps was on the defensive, the garrison army was reorganized, they were busy reorganizing, they suffered too many casualties in the early battle, Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture were heavily damaged a field brigade, a field brigade was almost gone, and the other field brigades also suffered a lot of losses in the battle to pursue Suo'etu after the reorganization, and after entering Shanxi Prefecture, due to the prevalence of trenches, they were very difficult to attack in the early stage.
Later, after the reorganization, there was only one garrison brigade in each area of the garrison army, which was divided into upper, middle, lower, and three garrison brigades, and a cavalry brigade.
The provisional division of the field army formed by Wan Douni was split into the entire field corps as a whole, and among these divisions, the Eighth Field Division, which was also in the rear of Shaanxi, Gansu Prefecture, was quite complete.
It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the Merlin Fish Corps is declining rapidly, because they have made up too many garrison troops, and Wan Douni's temporary field division is a mixture of the garrison brigade and the militia elite brigade and the militia ordinary brigade, and such a force is incorporated into the field army, and the field army must have experienced a sharp decline in combat effectiveness.
The Baghyalu Corps, which had received most of the strength of the Guards Division, moved to Henan Province and Shandong Prefecture and stood by behind the Hu Kui Corps, strengthening the strength of the Hu Kui Corps.
After a few months of rectification and rest, whether it was the Merlinyu Corps that had recovered its combat effectiveness, or the Hukui Corps that was still slowly encroaching on Hebei Prefecture, and the Baghyalu Corps behind His Highness, they were all ready to attack the Great Qing Kingdom.
A large number of Japanese servant armies, Southeast Asian servant armies, this time there were more Southeast Asian servant armies, Wei Wuji drove all the tribes of Siam to the front line of Shanxi Prefecture and Hebei Prefecture.
The strength of the Southeast Asian servant army reached a terrifying 800,000 troops, the strength of the Japanese servant army reached 200,000, as well as the captured Goguryeo servant army, about 60,000 people, the Mongol servant army of about 30,000, and the Hui captives who made trouble on the border of Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, the Semu people, and the captured cavalry of Yarkand, about 3,000 troops, were all sent to the border of these two states.
Of course, the green battalion soldiers, Han army banners, and Manchu soldiers captured by these two states are indispensable, and these captive soldiers have transported 400,000 troops at a time, and the others are either split and sold to the Ryukyu Kingdom, or sold to Zheng Zhi, or where Zheng Keshuang is, Zheng Keshuang will sell them to Australia.
Where did the second prince buy one million Han Chinese who surrendered in Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture, one million people, 300,000 people in Shanxi Prefecture, merchants, landlords, gentry, officials, 100,000 people, and 300,000 Japanese immigrants in Sishan Prefecture, 100,000 Japanese immigrants in Yunnan and Guizhou, the remaining 80,000 immigrants in Southeast Asia, and one million Japanese people in Hokkaido, and other hard labor in the Chinese Army Forced Labor Camp, there are all kinds of people, the Dutch, the British, the Portuguese, mainly the Portuguese, the Spaniards, And so on and so forth, all the people in the southern drit-up camps who did not die after a number of years.
He also bought 100 old ships of the coast guard, 200 old ships from Chinese merchants, a total of more than 300 old ships, and 30 warships from the Chinese military and naval divisions, and is now busy secretly transferring these purchased population.
And the Huaxia Army has earned a lot of gold and silver treasures, equivalent to 80 million yuan of the Huaxia Army, sometimes Zhang Qiang really admires the ability of the Chinese people to hide treasures, they are all beaten like that, and he still has savings in his hands.
In addition, the frigate of the Huaxia Navy Division followed them and found that the second prince still had some loyal subordinates hiding on various islands in the South Seas, and the second prince summoned him, with an initial number of more than 30,000 people, it seems that his ambition has never been extinguished, even if he is a pampered idle king in the Ryukyu Kingdom, he is also secretly accumulating strength.
Zhang Qiang can't help but sigh, he has come in this life, and he is right to go steadily, otherwise, the ancients taught you how to be a person every minute, and the traverser is really not omnipotent.
