Chapter 431: Warm Red

[Thank you for the 500 coin reward of 'Mousse Shenshen', thank you, thank you.] Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info】

In December, the war in eastern Henan came to an end, and the entire winter offensive launched by the Fu Han army came to an end, leaving only the smoke of the Liaodong battlefield still burning. The rest of Anhui, northern Jiangsu, and Shandong, like eastern Henan, no longer heard the sound of gunfire.

The Battle of Qingshui River was the last glory of the battlefield in eastern Henan. After this battle, the Qing army retreated from Xincai to Fuyang, Anhui. On the battlefield north of the Yinghe River, the Qing army's infantry and cavalry also retreated to Xihua and Fugou one after another. Then the troops of the 1st Garrison Division stationed in Chenzhou marched to take Luyi, Taikang, Zhecheng, plus Xiangcheng [Yuan Shikai's hometown], Shenqiu and other places, as well as Jieshou Town, which was taken by the Fu Han army, so that only Xihua and Fugou were still in the hands of the Qing army in the entire Chenzhou Mansion.

For the battle of Qingshuihe, conventionally speaking, Chen Ming couldn't think of any special way to deal with the Qing army.

They did not use cavalry units alone, but accompanied by infantry artillery, and if the Qing army's horse corps learned to charge against a strict wall, it would be a proper modern cavalry.

Chen Ming's only correction for this battle is that there are too few rockets.

"Father, I think our army should increase the production of rockets and reduce the production of grenades."

With the increase in the artillery power of the Fu Han army, Chen Ming gradually had a feeling that the role of grenades, especially in offensive warfare, was shrinking day by day.

Rockets, what the Fu Han army needs most now is rockets, especially short-range rockets for rocket artillery, the latter is not good for the first accuracy compared to the standard fire dragon projectile, the second range is shorter, and the third shooting density is greater. Rocket artillery is not a rocket launcher, but a multi-barrel cannon with four, six, and nine rounds in one shot. Accuracy is not dense, and in addition to iron sand and broken iron, the filling is more pungent substances such as chili powder and mustard powder, and its main role at the beginning of development is to deal with cavalry.

However, throughout the winter counterattack, the Fuhan army used more rockets than rocket shells.

As for the influence of the Battle of Qingshuihe, it seems that it has not been shown at all in the outside world, but in Chen Han's internal high-level, it has caused an uproar.

Whether it is Chen Wenzan or Lu Long, they have captured Gwangju and most of the Runing Mansion, but they have not given any credit. It was because of the Battle of the Clear Water River.

Chen Hui naturally read the summary of the Battle of Qingshui River in detail, and also read the secret folds given to him by Chen Ming, and had to admit that he had no talent at all in fighting the war.

Chen Wenzan still knows how to be cautious - when the musketeers are victorious, he knows how to blow the trumpet and withdraw the troops; Lu Long also held the southern road with a small number of troops, allowing the Qing army's infantry to attack many times. But if Chen Hui went to command, only the first collision of the two musketeers in the middle, when the Qing musketeers were defeated and fled, he would order the musketeers of the Fu Han army to chase after him with great interest, and then, and then ......, hehe.

Returning from the aggrieved Han Palace, Chen Ming first went to see his baby daughter and two younger sons. From the end of November to the beginning of December, Chen Ming's second and third sons both landed.

The Yao family was immediately promoted to Liangdi. Although she was pregnant, she already enjoyed the treatment of 'Liangdi'.

Such a person who was not favored in the backyard, just because he was pregnant and gave birth to a child, he went from choosing a waiter to Liangdi, as the initiator, Chen Ming was seduced more and hotter. Those women looked at Chen Ming with spring in their eyes one by one, and they could stretch out a pair of small hands in their eyes, waving to Chen Ming non-stop.

It's a pity that Chen Ming didn't stay in Lushan for a few days at all, and he was about to leave for Wuchang. Then rushed back from Wuchang a year ago.

Shi's soft body was nestled in Chen Ming's arms, his face was flushed, and his eyes were full of tenderness. Chen Ming pricked a piece of cut pineapple with a toothpick and fed it to her mouth, watching her choke on the pineapple flesh, a round bag bulging out of her cheeks, and couldn't help but smile. I don't know if it's his delusion, but in the two years since Shi followed him, the skin on his body seems to have become whiter. If it was whiter, Black Pearl wouldn't seem to be able to use her.

Shi swallowed the pineapple in his mouth, and when he saw Chen Ming prick another one over, he hurriedly shook his head: "Don't do it, this is too sweet." ”

Since all the southern countries were owned by Chen Han, many new gadgets from the south have been sent to Lushan in a steady stream. Delicacies of the mountains and seas, fruits of the tropics. Except for the durian thing, no one in Lushan can stand it for the time being. Pineapple, longan, lychee, banana, etc., Lushan, these high-level Chen Han executives eat very highly.

"The prince, the two brothers of the slave family, ......"

"What's the matter? Angry in the Academy? Chen Ming's right hand had already captured a mountain silently.

The water in Lushan is very deep, this is Chen Han's hometown, the emperor's hometown, and everyone has it. The Shi brothers are only the elder brothers of the prince's chosen servants, the Shi family is not the crown princess, nor is it the prince Liangdi, and it is really possible to meet people who don't give them face.

"No, no." Shi hurriedly denied it. The whole body leaned deeper into Chen Ming's arms, and the hill pressed against Chen Ming's chest, and said softly: "It's not those two, it's the new two." ”

"Aren't you just two brothers?"

"That's a brother, these two are cousins...... Shi's voice became smaller and smaller, his head hooked and he didn't dare to look at Chen Ming, a pair of hands across Chen Ming's chest, ten fingers were intertwined, and his voice and body were full of apprehension and caution.

"Where do they two want to go?"

"You promised?" Shi raised his head in surprise, his cheeks were red, and his big eyes were full of mist, full of joy.

"Tell your family, don't take it as an example."

The Shi family is very obedient to their duties, but the Shi family seems to be a little dissatisfied.

Just like a chicken pecking rice, Shi nodded his head fiercely.

The skin, which was as smooth and soft as pearls, was more hydrated due to excitement, especially the eyes, which seemed to bring a splash. Chen Ming is very strict with these women in the backyard, and he never lets his relatives go, plus there is a princess 'god' on their heads whose parents and brothers and sisters-in-law do not know where to go. It's not a trick to attract hatred.

Therefore, if these women want to make it more convenient for their families, they mostly beg him softly after spending money on the bed and disturbing Chen Ming. And all strive for secrecy!

And in this case, Chen Ming's promise was very grateful to them.

Chen Ming leaned down and kissed the slightly opened mouth.

Soft and with a bit of pineapple's dense sweetness, Chen Ming couldn't help but lick it with his tongue, well, this pineapple is indeed a little too sweet. The two hands hugged the delicate body in his arms and slowly caressed it.

Although it was a cold winter outside, the inside of the house was as warm as spring.

Shi was afraid of cold and heat, and when he arrived at the bed again, he only had his middle coat on his body, and Chen Ming's hand itself had occupied a mountain peak from above, and now he was going to attack from below. Shi Shi's body seemed to be lit with a fire, and in his confusion, he couldn't help but stretch out his arm to wrap around Chen Ming's neck.

The red waves are flying, the clouds are gone, and the rain is gone.

It was late at night, and the house was burning with a dragon on the ground, and it was warm. Chen Ming's eyes were half-squinted, the quilt hung down to his chest, and he didn't feel cold when his arms were exposed. The flickering candlelight reflected on the bed through the thin red light veil curtain, and the red was a warm red breath.

Chen Ming straightened the hair of the beauty in his arms, lowered his head and sniffed, there was a faint fragrance of orchids, his right arm was retracted, and his posture was adjusted, so that the delicate person in his arms lay on his arm, and his left hand stroked the smooth and delicate back skin from time to time, and from time to time it went down, staying between the two fat masses.

"Hmm......" A coquettish groan overflowed involuntarily, Shi's face was flushed with a pink halo after the affair, and he glared at Chen Ming weakly. Lord~, good man~, sleep, sleep......"

The next day, Chen Ming had breakfast here in Shi's place, and went to the Dadu Governor's Mansion refreshed, the personnel of Wuhan and his party had been set, and the time was also set, it was tomorrow.

But this doesn't mean that Chen Ming will be fine today.

First of all, he hasn't finished reading the account book of the military cooperative for the second half of the year, and secondly, the sample textbook of the military academy on the battle of Qingshui River has been in his hands for five days, and Chen Ming has not had time to read it, and today is the purpose of the goal. Otherwise, it will be pushed back to the year after the year.

In addition, the newly organized garrisons of Huguang and Liangguang, the production reports of the mines and iron works of the Shilu Iron Works in Hainan, the construction of the Hongji coal mine and port in Vietnam, and the cynical 'three heroes' who fled from Guangxi to Liangshan - Chen Jie, Yang Zhengjie, and Wu Xiongguang, their current actions, and the time for the replacement of magistrates in the two places of Guangzhou......

And that's just the big deal. More bits and pieces.

The profits of military cooperatives in the second half of the year were significantly lower than those in the first half of the year, and the profits from cotton were huge. Compared with the same period last year, there is still a relatively good growth, which will allow the military cooperative to continue to maintain a strong attractiveness.

"The controversy among the soldiers is growing."

"At least one-third of the soldiers in the Jiangnan area are dissatisfied with their income."

Wang Huizu's understanding of military cooperatives is more detailed than Chen Ming's, because the means of production and the distribution method of harvest to which military cooperatives belong are, in a certain sense, the fields in Jiangnan and Huguang are equated, but the reality is that the acres in Jiangnan are obviously more valuable than those in Huguang, and the annual output is much higher. Even when the military merit field is awarded, the points exchanged for the Jiangnan field unit [mu] will be higher; And when it is the turn to distribute, it is also ten acres of land, and the military grange in Jiangnan will be more than the military grange in Huguang and Jiangxi. But this seems to be a very fair approach, but in fact it is quite unfair.

For example, the price of land in Jiangnan is half higher than that of Zhihuguang, and the annual output value is half higher than that of Zhihuguang. And the soldiers can use the military merit points that are only one or two percent higher than the Huguang military merit field [for example], and they can get the military merit field in the south of the Yangtze River. So when it was the turn to distribute, ten acres of Jiangnan fields could only get eleven acres or twelve acres of Huguang fields, which was actually three or four acres of silver in vain.

The soldiers are not fools, and of course they can carry the weight of the inside.

It's still a short time, or there is still something to consider, but next year, the year after that, continuous losses, continuous losses, will they still be silent at that time?

The military cooperatives are also about to split. "No friendship is stronger than profit."

What's more, the real comrade-in-arms of the soldiers is the squad queue at the grassroots level. This is like the 'fellow villagers' in the 21st century, in the magic capital, as long as it is a province, it feels closer, and if it is a city or a county, it is even closer. And if you go to the provincial capital, it is all a province, and the city is discussed; In the same way, when it comes to the city, it is a county.

What's so bad about this friendship that can't be broken?

When they retire, they don't have to worry about anything. Especially in the past two years, Chen Ming has been showing a faint interest in the military cooperative, and his interest will always be faint in the next few years. Until most of the soldiers think that Chen Ming does not pay much attention to the specific rights and distribution of military cooperatives, then the time has come for it to split.

The textbook compiled by the Military Academy, Chen Ming stopped until noon, in all fairness, it was fair and just. The timing of the Qing army's horse attack was very good, and the initial charge was quite brave, and it was normal for the final morale to fall sharply. The Qing army's horse team lost 2,000 cavalry, and they only had a total of 10,000 cavalry, and the battle loss rate was 20%, and the morale was not greatly reduced, that was the Iron Army!

Both sides gave fair evaluations.

Chen Ming wrote a big word 'read' on the first page.

Military textbooks -- analysis of combat examples, everything must be based on truth, fair and impartial comments on the gains and losses of both sides, so that the students can learn the most useful experience.

Otherwise, the analysis of war cases will become an official article in Chen Ming's previous life, whitewashing his face, it will be very sad. What's even more tragic is that this kind of environment often makes Chinese people become distrustful of their own country's 'words', and 100% believe in the 'words' of foreigners.

It seems that the powder is too flat, and the act of rubbing powder on one's face is the same as only Chinese will do. The written materials of the state are all fake, and the written materials of foreign countries are the most authentic historical facts. This loss of national credibility was the root cause of all the instability in the society of the Red Dynasty in the previous life. This is also the most terrible loss!

Chen Ming is quite satisfied with the development of Shilu Iron Mine, Hongji Coal Mine, and Hongji Port, and the Nanyang Naval Division's anti-bandit work is also relatively effective, as long as the predetermined goals can be achieved.

What really interested Chen Ming was the people of Mingxiang who migrated to Hongji City and the port.

These people were the remnants of the "Rebellion of the Three Feudatories" on the mainland, which retreated to Annam. At that time, Zheng Jing's troops were defeated and retreated, and they could no longer gain a foothold on the mainland, and Zheng's rule on the Leizhou Peninsula was in jeopardy. More than 3,000 remnants loyal to the Ming Dynasty were forced to move into the Lower Khmer (present-day southern Vietnam) region controlled by the Khmer [Cambodia] in 50 warships under the leadership of Zheng Ming's generals Chen Shangchuan, Yang Yandi, and Zheng Huairen. Mingxiang people were originally called Mingxiang, which means Ming Dynasty incense.

Today, there are six or seven thousand Mingxiang people who have moved into the Hongji City area. The arrival of these people, who spoke Cantonese and Vietnamese, and some of them, who were scholars, also spoke Mandarin, greatly alleviated the shortage of manpower in Hongji City, and many of them became interpreters, which also accelerated the communication between Chen Han and the Annam people.

At the same time, a man named Yan Tianci sent people to Hongji Port, claiming that he was the king of the port country, but the descendant of Yan Jiu, who had gone south with Chen Shangchuan, Yang Yandi, Zheng Huairen and others, and was willing to sacrifice his land to naturalize China, but his port country had just been occupied by Zheng Xin, the Chinese king who unified Siam.

Lushan now has a Sulu king. This guy seems to be staying in Lushan for the New Year, but the Su Yi next to him and a few close ministers have already returned to Sulu. Chen Hui also gave Su Yi the title of special envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!

The letter sent by Hongji City contained a thick bundle of information, describing in detail what a port country was, and how it was lost by Tianci.

After the rebellion of the three feudatories was quelled by Kang Mazi, Mo Jiu, the ancestor of Yan Tianci, refused to submit to the rule of the Qing Dynasty, so he left his hometown and moved to Cambodia, at about the same time as Chen Shangchuan, Yang Yandi, and Zheng Huairen. Soon he was favored by the king of Cambodia and was appointed to manage the country's commercial affairs.

After Mo Jiu was in Cambodia for a period of time, he felt that he was under the fence, and once he lost power, it would be difficult for him to settle down. So for the sake of self-preservation, Mo Jiu bribed the king of Cambodia's favorite concubine Xingchen to intercede with the king and let Mo Jiu govern the Mekong Delta's Gangkan - which means port.

Later, Mo Jiu avoided confusion with the family name of Mo Dengyong, who usurped Li and established himself in Annan, so he added the word "Yi" to his surname and became the "Yan" clan. The Yan family declared himself a vassal to the Nguyen clan of Quang Nam in Annam, and was awarded the post of commander-in-chief of Ha Tien Town, but in fact it was a secession of power.

Four years ago, Siam was invaded by Burma and the Ayutthaya dynasty was destroyed, and the royal family Chao Cui and others fled to the port state, asking for help from Yan Tianci to help them restore the country. However, at that time, Zheng Xin, the new king of Siam, had already raised an army to expel the Burmese army and became the new king of Siam, and in order to eliminate the royal family of Ayutthaya, Zheng Xin demanded that Yan Tianci hand over the exiled royal family. Yan Tianci had the intention to help Zhaocui restore the country, so he sent sailors to spy on the waters of Bangkok, but he encountered a hurricane and had no choice but to return. Later, he sent warships to attack Siam, but it did not work, and he hastily withdrew due to the plague. Subsequently, there were two civil strife in the port state, and although Yan Tianci quelled the civil strife, it also greatly damaged the vitality of the port state. However, Zheng Xin has just pacified the domestic separatist forces, and his vigor is flourishing. This year, Zheng Xin sent troops to attack the port state. Yan Tianci led the army and civilians to hold on to it. However, because the Siamese army had purchased artillery from Europe, the port state was unable to resist, so Yan Tianci asked Quang Nam for help, but there was another Xishan uprising in Quang Nam and no assistance was given. As a result, he fled to Gia Dinh (present-day Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam), and the port state was occupied by Siam.

Along with this information, Zheng Xin's information was also sent to Chen Ming. Zheng Xin, the Emperor of Thonburi, Chen Ming doesn't need to look at it. He knew this man. In Liang Qichao's "Biography of Colonial Great Men", the first place is Zheng Xin. That book is actually pure self-talk.

He started the Bangkok Dynasty in Thailand. Of course, the Thai royal family of later generations has nothing to do with Zheng Xin. Zheng Xin was reckless in his later years, and attacked the state religion of Siam, and was overturned by his generals. The family died quite cleanly.

It's just that in the original time and space, who overturned Zheng Xin, the name Chen Ming can't remember, and his mouth is too long, pretending to be Zheng Xin's descendants to attack Beijing and ask for a seal. Because in the original time and space, Zheng Xin sent envoys to Beijing last year to pay tribute to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. But in this time and space, Zheng Xin obviously did not do this.

Of course, Zheng Xin did not send anyone to pay tribute to Chen Han.

"Port State?" That's the Mekong Delta, and it's a great place. A piece of fat delivered to the door, Chen Ming's heart suddenly itched...... (To be continued.) )
