There are three major grassland regions in the world, the Eurasian grassland region, the North American grassland region, and the South American grassland region; But that's to put it mildly, and the most elite and fertile grasslands are the Hulunbuir grassland, the central Argentine grassland, and the eastern Australian grassland. Fu Ning couldn't remember the specific names of the other two grasslands at the beginning of www.biquge.info, but the significance of the Hulunbuir grassland was still very clear.

Since its birth, the Yanhuang people have been accompanied by the conflict between the nomadic civilization in the north and the agricultural civilization in the Central Plains. The nomads in the north have always tried to plunder southward through the Yanshan Yinshan to the Altai Mountains, and the Central Plains civilization has also been trying to eliminate the threat from the north, so the two civilizations have been colliding on the Yanshan to the Altai Mountains, accompanying the entire history of Chinese civilization.

The names of the northern nomads have always been constantly changing, and the nomads who attacked the northern defense line during each dynasty are also different, but few people know that the powerful nomads always originate from the Hulunbuir grassland.

The strength of the nomadic peoples such as Dirong, Hu, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Rouran, Turkic, Tatar, Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongolian is more or less related to the Hulunbuir grassland. Hulunbuir grassland is the cradle of nomads, and has grown countless nomads; To put it figuratively - it's the backstage of the nomadic stage of the North! In Fu Ning's current world of Red Mansions, the Horqin Mongols have controlled the Horqin Grassland and the Hulunbuir Grassland for a hundred years, and if it weren't for the collision between the Jurchens of the Bohai State and the Horqin Mongols, I believe that the Hulunbuir Grassland would have given birth to a new Genghis Khan long ago.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court drove the victims of the Central Plains to the "real side" of the Kanto on a large scale during the two consecutive emperor periods, and immigrated six or seven million to the Kanto region during the period of the Chong'an Emperor alone; History and disasters have reduced countless populations, resulting in mutual consumption among the Jurchens, Han Chinese, and Mongols outside the Guanwai, so that only the Han people outside the Guanwai are now more than two million. However, the "real side" of the Han people in the late Ming Dynasty assimilated the Jurchens into a nomadic tribe with some agricultural colors, which was weaker than the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom in Fu Ning's original life, which may also be one of the reasons why the Jurchens in this world did not become the Manchus in Fu Ning's original life.

Fu Ning did not ignore the Hulunbuir grassland, nor did he dare to ignore the Horqin Mongols who controlled the Hulunbuir grassland, but Fu Ning now needed to know whether Alba Hulu would move westward, and whether the Jurchens of the Bohai State would collide with the Horqin Mongols on a large scale?

The field divisions began to converge towards Shenyang, the cavalry divisions began to be formed, and the 2nd and 3rd field divisions were already moving in the direction of the city of Vlar Tangwang. The city of Vlaar Tangwang was the capital of the Bohai Kingdom, and although it had a short history, it was strong enough, but fortunately, the task of the field division was not to attack the city, but to plunder the population, horses, warm clothing, and everything else they wanted. Fu Ning looked at the military map many times, and guessed that Vlar Tangwang was near Changchun in the original world, or Jilin or Siping; The difference between the two worlds made Fu Ning unsure of which place it was, but it was always difficult to start a large-scale war when the cold winter came.

As soon as the three field divisions from Goryeo had just arrived in Shenyang, news came from Ning Yuan and Tanggu at the same time that Wang Shuirong, the king of Beijing County of the imperial court, had regained control of the Guanning border army, and Shanhaiguan had gathered 120,000 border troops and was rushing towards Ning Yuanwei!

Tian Yanwu broke into Fu Ning's office with one foot, "Boss! We need to hurry up and supply the 1st Division with ammunition! ”。

"It's too late! -- The day before yesterday, the 5 million rounds of ammunition that arrived in Lushun were transferred to Shenyang without being unloaded on the ship! Can't get in touch now! Fu Ning was also a little anxious; How much ammunition does Ningyuan's 1st Field Division still have? ”。

"There are three base numbers of rifle bullets, an average of ninety rounds per person! But there were not enough shells, only nine hundred rounds, and most of them were **; In addition, there is a base number of horse-drawn rocket launchers, three hundred rounds! ”

"Ninety rounds for one man, nine hundred rounds of artillery shells and three white hairs of rocket shells, - enough; As long as there are no muskets and artillery at the imperial court, there is no problem. Fu Ning pondered, "Send electricity to Ning Yuanwei and agree to let them activate the Mara rocket artillery!" -- Tanggu is investigating the equipment of the Guanning border army, and they are in a hurry! I'll have to contact the Second Fleet right away and ask them to shell the vicinity of Shanhaiguan, which will always have a starting point. -- The ammunition transport ship going to Shenyang cannot be contacted for the time being, and if it does, it will not be able to come back, because the war in Shenyang has already begun, and ammunition is urgently needed! ”

"In this way, you go and ask the Lushun Military Factory how many rifle cartridges there are now, and send them to Ning Yuanwei!" , Fu Ning added, and then issued a warrant to Tian Yanwu, "You hurry up and ask!" How many and how many are transported! ”。

Tian Yanwu went to the Lushun Arsenal and went around and came back soon, "There are 30,000 rounds, -- the warrant was given to them, they said that they would load the ship tonight, and they would arrive at noon tomorrow!" ”。

"What about the cannonballs? You didn't ask them about the shells? ”

"Asked, only a thousand rounds **, also loaded tonight.".

"Why is there so little ammunition for the 1st Field Division?" , Fu Ning was a little puzzled.

"I didn't expect the imperial soldiers to come in advance, and the extra ammunition was given to Shenyang!".

"Hey! Blame me, the intelligence point of Shanhaiguan has not been established, otherwise it would not be so passive! Fu Ning was a little remorseful, "Ning Yuanwei is two hundred and twenty miles away from Shanhaiguan, that is, one hundred and ten kilometers, too close; Since Ning Yuanwei has seen the forward cavalry of the imperial court, the infantry of the imperial court is not far away, and it may arrive tomorrow night, I hope they will not attack the city at night, otherwise it will be a big trouble! ”。

"Hard to say! - I've read the information about the water soluble, he is not very old, but he is quite smart in battle; In the twenty-third year of Qianping, he led his troops to confront Alba Hulu in Ning Yuanwei, and used 50,000 troops to contain Alba Hulu's 100,000 troops for half a year, so it was not easy for this person to fight; Now I'm also worried about him attacking the city at night. ", Tian Yanwu analyzed; We are good at fighting field battles during the day, but we are not good at fighting defensive battles at night, not to mention that this time we are short of ammunition, they have too many troops, and they must have brought muskets, we are not good at guarding! ”。

"Who is the commander of Ning Yuanwei's First Field Division?"

"King Stone!".

"Who?!" , Fu Ning was stunned, "When I pacified Liuqiu Island, I gave Wang Shi to the Third Division of the New Army?" ”

"That's right! It's him, the person you gave me when I was in the third division of the new army; Isn't it me and them who take the lead in not wanting to be literate when they are making trouble with literacy! I remember him turned out to be your guard. ”。

"I remember him!" , Fu Ning waved his hand, "He was brought by me from Yangzhou back then, and his hometown is Shou County, Jinling Province; It turned out that he was begging for food in Yangzhou City, and I took him in to work in my perfume workshop, but he drank alcohol as wine and almost drank to death, and I saw that he was a little stunned to take him into the escort team; He's much older than you! Fu Ning laughed.

Fu Ning continued, "Don't worry about it now! You can rest assured, there should be good news from Ningyuan tomorrow! ”。

“――？ The owner is so confident?! Tian Yanwu couldn't believe it.

"Look, that stunned seed won't be defensive! It would be strange if he didn't go out of the city to fight in the field! ”。

“――？！ He's not that stupid, but the court has 100,000 soldiers! ”

"He's stupid? - He's not stupid! -- The horizontal is afraid of being stunned, the stunned is afraid of dying, he belongs to the kind of person who doesn't want to die! The kind that is worse than Zhang Wu! You see, there will definitely be good news tomorrow, and it will be a big victory. It's just that you should prepare more death notices, and after this battle, it is estimated that there will not be many people left in the first field division. - By the way, I remember that he was not the commander of the 1st Division? When did you become a teacher? Fu Ning looked at Tian Yanwu.

"Even today, Sun Kun, commander of the First Division, sent a telegram saying, 'Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers have come to the imperial court, and countless cavalrymen,' and asked me if I want to withdraw from Ningyuan; So I called him straight back and pulled him out. -- The first division counted and counted, and Wang Shishi had the highest prestige, and the prestige was higher than that of the deputy division commander; Although I was a little stunned, I was definitely good at fighting, so I telegraphed him to be the division commander. The report has already been sent to the Department of Military Affairs, and I forgot to report it on your side just now." Tian Yanwu hurriedly explained.

"There is no need to explain, the military commander has the right to be cheap in wartime, as long as you report it in time, you have done nothing wrong!" , Fu Ning waved his hand at Tian Yanwu. "It's just that you have to hurry up and prepare for the follow-up, it is estimated that the casualties of the 1st Field Division will be very large tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and you must hurry up to increase reinforcements and medical forces. - I guess there will be captives, you have to take it into account; Isn't Jinzhou forming the Sixth Cavalry Division, don't worry about the horses and equipment, the recruits will be replenished to Wang Shi tomorrow, and the extra will be talked about when the time comes! -- I will also transfer two battalions of the Guards Division here, both of which were trained as officers and given to the 1st Field Division; I'll just leave a battalion, and Yao Yun and they don't have to worry about having a women's guard camp over there. ”。

"How's that going to work! Your safety must also be guarded! ”

"So be it! Tomorrow I will send another guard regiment from the chicken coop to Lushun! ”

――――

The next day, there was no telegram from Ning Yuanwei, and Fu Ning became anxious. On the morning of the third day, Ning Yuan's ship came over, saying that Ning Yuan had been surrounded, but it was not clear how many soldiers the imperial court had sent, so Fu Ning began to be a little worried.

The telegraph was too heavy and too large to move, so that a telegraph ship was sent from Shenyang for communication; The news came that the 2nd and 3rd Field Divisions had moved to the vicinity of Tielingwei, and further north were Kaiyuan and Vlar Tangwang, but the Bohai State had deployed 20,000 troops in Tieling, fighting street battles, holding on to the death, and there were some minor troubles, which might have to be delayed for a few days; In addition, please ask the Lushun Hall to add some grenades.

Fu Ning replied that the ammunition had been transported and was on the way; As for the grenades, they need supplies from the chicken coop hall, and they can't be there for the time being; There are still 7,000 grenades in the Lushun Hall, but they have to be sent to Ningyuan. Therefore, it is hoped that the 2nd and 3rd Field Divisions will fight less street battles and more field battles, positional warfare, and plundering warfare.

On the evening of the third day, Ning Yuanwei sent a telegram; The telegram was not detailed, but only said that the 1st Field Division had won a great victory, destroying countless enemies, taking tens of thousands of prisoners, and was pursuing the remnants of the enemy, but suffered heavy losses, and their division commander pursued the remnants of the enemy, and the specific figures could not be reported until they were counted.

Fu Ning's prediction really came true, "heavy loss" means that the loss is at least half, or even greater, otherwise the message should be "great loss"!

On the morning of the fourth day, the ship that carried ammunition supplies for Ning Yuanwei came back, and the captain only shook his head and said, "It's crazy!" ”

However, Fu Ning still underestimated the war; Although the news that came one after another was not accurate, it was only known that the two battalions of the Guards Division and the recruits transferred from the Sixth Cavalry Division were incorporated into the First Field Division by Wang Shishi as soon as they arrived in Ning Yuanwei, and they were immediately sent out to pursue the remnants of the enemy, and even Wang Shishi personally pursued the remnants of the enemy, and they could not be contacted at all.

It was not until the fifth day that the Second Fleet of the Navy near Shanhaiguan sent a telegram saying, "We have cooperated with the First Field Division of the War Department to take Shanhaiguan, and Wang Shishi, the commander of the First Field Division, was seriously injured and fell into a coma during the attack on Shanhaiguan, and the Navy is escorting him to Lushun Hall for treatment!" ”； Fu Ning was stunned all of a sudden!
