Lanzhou, the provincial capital of Gansu, is a pearl in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoFor Chinese people in the 21st century, Lanzhou ramen is more familiar than Lanzhou City, which is really the most well-known brand in the city, and it is a thunderous delicacy that can be found in all parts of the world.

Unfortunately, all of this in history is about to change. Isn't it easy for Chen Ming to travel to this era, the change of dynasty, the influence of the revival of the Han family, Butterfly Butterfly, and the career of a few small people? The founder of Lanzhou Ramen, a fellow villager with the same surname in Henan who Chen Ming can't remember his exact name, will he still have the opportunity and time to pass on the craft of making noodles to his classmates in Guozijian?

And now this Lanzhou is a place where the Manchu Qing Dynasty hoarded heavy soldiers, and at the same time, a large number of banner people and countless money, grain and materials are constantly being transported to the west, but Yongying did not follow a piece to the west, but stayed in Lanzhou.

Of course, Yongying didn't want to live and die with Lanzhou City. But because he knew that the Qing army had to fight fiercely here, otherwise even if the team reached Ganzhou and Suzhou, the entire team would be abolished.

Yongying, who had never led a soldier before, never really realized that the damage to the army from successive defeats was so great.

The main force of the Qing army under him retreated from Xi'an to Yan'an, from Yan'an to Ningxia, and from Ningxia to Lanzhou.

When Yongying heard that the team entering Lanzhou did not even obey the orders of the relatively well-trained Eight Banners New Army and looted it, he suddenly realized the danger of the matter. So how to clean up the defeat of the army?

It's difficult, and it's simple.

The difficulty is the method of a positive attitude, the forceful suppression of all riots, the killing and punishment, and when the bloody knife of military law makes the soldiers feel the fear from the heart, this is considered to be solved. It's a pity that Yongying doesn't have the strength to do such a solution, and he won't do that. After all the people around him who didn't understand combined the word 'Yingxiao' with the current scene, Yongying immediately understood.

Today's Qing army has lost one defeat after another, and each defeat is like a broken gecko, discarding a small number of people to protect most of the people. Of course, Yongying is not afraid that he will become the small number of people who are sacrificed, but the soldiers and officers at the grassroots level, and even the middle and high-level generals, are afraid.

The Battle of Luochuan, the Battle of Yan'an, and now Ningxia, what has been lost are not only small soldiers.

Those who are soldiers are living in fear, and the mental depression accumulated day after day can be imagined. On the other hand, military discipline in the Manchu army was unclear, and the so-called military discipline was bullshit when officers wantonly bullied soldiers. Now it is not only the soldiers and junior officers who have been lost, but also the middle and high-level generals who cannot report being substitutes for the dead, and in this case, the attitude of the officers towards the officers and soldiers under them is even more rude. In addition, the Qing army formed gangs and factions to fight openly and secretly, and the contradictions were accumulated day after day, and they all relied on righteousness and military discipline to suppress them. Now that the righteousness is gone, Yongying himself runs faster than a rabbit again and again, and the Qing army in the northwest can still have fart righteousness, and military discipline has been messed up earlier.

The main thing is that the Fu Han army clearly intends to make persistent efforts to take Lanzhou and capture half of Gansu before the cold winter arrives. So what will happen to them? In particular, there is no hope for the future, everyone is uncertain about their life and death, there is little hope, and they don't know when they will return to the West.

So Yongying also chose a simple, that is, negative attitude approach: indulgence.

Let the soldiers go to indulgence, one day is not enough for two days, and two days is not enough for three days. The pressure in my heart will always be released. This is the secret of Yongying's regaining control of the army in just five days, and even the new green army led by Ma Bai and the others is active. The HH in Lanzhou City is a good Green Sect, but the latter are all followers of the Old Sect, so they don't care. Heresy is more odious than heretics, and this applies to the Green Religion as well.

With the return of the Manchu army to the camp one after another, Lanzhou, the largest and most important city in the northwest on the bank of the Yellow River, has been full of crying, dead bodies, and black ruins that are still smoking.

At the same time that Dong Wei led the army, more than 10,000 main forces in Gansu were also approaching Lanzhou, and at the same time, the vanguard of the Shaanxi Fuhan Army along the Weishui Gorge through the Weishui Gorge to Qinzhou, Gansu, and the strength of a brigade of the second division as the follow-up force of Dong Wei's cavalry part was also rushing towards the central guard.

Chen Qi was not worried about the war in Ningxia at all. As long as Dong Wei can block the Qing army in the middle guard, or even slow down the speed of the Qing army's march, when the 10th Brigade of the Second Division arrives, the remnants of the Qing army in Ningxia and Xinlu will be swept away in a battle.

Chen Qi is most worried about the supply of ammunition now, the city that the instructor is about to face is Lanzhou, the first important town in the northwest, the Qing army has built a lot of fortifications in Lanzhou in the past two years, if the artillery shells and rockets cannot be kept abundant, and the instructor will shed a lot of blood when he hits Lanzhou.

Yongying has not left yet.

The people of the Eight Banners and a cart of grain and straw were constantly transferred to Ganzhou and Suzhou, but Yongying and the Qing army still stayed in Lanzhou, which was Potemjin's proposal to Yongying.

A discouraged army, only blood can inspire their last courage. "If you don't want to see your army fall into a rabble worse than serfs when it reaches the western part of Gansu Province, or even further away in Xinjiang, let them bleed hard in Lanzhou."

"Blood can make them remember their identity, remember their irresolvable hatred with the Chinese." At the same time, after the army is beaten, their self-generated 'will' will disappear like a flowing cloud. ”

And in Yongying's understanding, Potemkin's words mean the same thing, the dog is disobedient, so let the dog be beaten hard, this beating does not need to be done by himself, but with the hands of the enemy, so that the dog that has suffered trauma will return to his side and obediently obey.

Seems to make some sense.

And by doing so, it can also spell out part of the strength of the Fu Han Army, so that the main force under his command can see the blood, and the fire will refine the real gold.

Although Yong Ying was noncommittal in the face of Potemkin's words, looking at his subsequent actions, it was clear that Yong Ying intended to do so.

On the road from Weishui Gorge to Gansu, troops were moving in, and teams of transport wagons were flying in all directions. Including the road from Hanzhong to Gansu, pack horses, carrying gunpowder, all kinds of ammunition and other materials in the way of packs, are really like ants moving, transporting materials to Tianshui, and then these materials are running towards Gongchang little by little through the carriage.

Gongchang is the starting point of Chen Qi's offensive against Lanzhou this time, from here you can take Di Road to the south, move to stability, and launch an offensive against Lanzhou on both roads. Because of the problem of logistics and supply, it was not advisable to attack from both sides, and Chen Qi finally chose to settle down.

Lane Ridge, Jin County, Jinjiaya, and then the provincial capital of Lanzhou.

"There are only 700 rockets in total? How is this enough. Let the logistics department speed up the transportation. Before the end of the battle for Ningxia, at least 2,000 rockets were to be delivered, of which no less than 1,000 were heavy rockets. "For the geographical investigation of Gansu, Chen Qi doesn't have to worry at all, the secret camp is not a vegetarian. Although in recent days, the news in Lanzhou City has suddenly been cut off.

But for the ditches and bumps on the way from Anding to Lanzhou, Chen Qi is already familiar with it. Now that the troops are enough, the combat effectiveness of the brigade will be taught, and more than 10,000 people will be enough to fight the 30,000 or 40,000 Qing troops in Lanzhou City. However, the military supply could not keep up, so Chen Qi could only continue to press.

"Commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, Lanzhou Emergency. Ten days ago, the Qing army in Lanzhou suddenly became chaotic, killing people and looting, and indulging in excessive ......"

In the evening, Chen Qi was looking at the Chinese translation of the Novgorod Chronicle, the most important document in medieval Russia. In one of the monasteries of the Grand Duchy of Novgorod, chronicles began to be written from the beginning of the 11th century to the beginning of the Western calendar, recording important events year by year. This work continued until the end of the 15th century. Thus, the major events of the nearly 500 years of Russian history, from the beginning of the 11th century to the end of the 15th century, including the period of the reign of the Golden Horde, are reflected in the Novgorod Chronicle.

Chen Qi had already finished reading a Chinese translation of Nestore's Chronicle, which is one of the earliest Russian historical works, which began in the mid-9th century and ended in 1110, making it the most important historical book of the Kievan Rus' era.

In this era, China was too far away from the West, and in order to let the relatives and nobles of the court have a better understanding of the West, Chen Ming has long had people collect all the history books of all European countries and then organize people to translate them. For example, the "Chronicle" and the "Novgorod Chronicle", the latter has not yet been translated, there are three volumes in total, and the translation office has only published the first volume. The translators were the few captured Manchu interpreters from the steppes after the Han army swept Chengde, and there were also Mongols who were fluent in Russian.

And in addition to Russia, there is also the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle of the British. This is from the 7th and 8th centuries of the Western calendar, the court and monasteries of the Anglo-Saxon states began to write chronicles, and after the unification of England, when Alfred was in power, he organized a group of scholars to delete and add to the chronicles accumulated in various places in the past, and compiled them together, and named them "Anglo-Saxon Chronicles".

The first writer of general history in England was Henry, the vicar of Huntington, who wrote the History of England, which began in the time of G.J. Caesar and ended in 1154.

Then there is a series of writings by the British chronicler M. Paris. This man's writings account the enactment of the Magna Carta of Liberty in 1215 A.D. and the origins of the English Parliament.

Then there were France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, but also Byzantium, Hungary, and so on......

While Chen Ming organized a large number of translators to translate these historical books of European countries, he also asked some Chinese scholars to compile a "General History of Europa" with the times. Newton and Rotony, who were unusually high-pitched in the compilation of the General History of Europa, took the initiative to participate in it.

Chen Ming has a hundred confidence that when this "General History of Europa" is compiled, China, at least the high-level pro-noble ministers, will have a clear understanding of Europe and Western civilization.

The contradictions between Britain and France, the Anglo-Dutch relations, the relations between France and Russia, the relations between Russia and Austria and Prussia, as well as the Franco-Dutch, Franco-Prussian, Franco-Italian and Franco-Austrian relations, and the former glory and war of Spain and Portugal, which have withdrawn from the political center of Europe......

A systematic understanding will play a great role in the future exchanges and communications between China and the West, and even in war.

And Chen Ming also believes that "The General History of Europa" is definitely a huge historical project for the West in this era, and when this book is interviewed, when the book changes from Chinese to Latin, English, French, German, and Russian, and appears in front of the whole of Europe, China's forced style will definitely be instantly brushed up.

Compared with the works of Chinese historians since ancient times, the history of Europeans is too much.

Even though Chen Ming knew how strong the future of European civilization was, and knew that even the current Europe had been reborn, and its overall strength was no weaker than China's, just like Ji Yun, who presided over the compilation of the "General History of Europa", thinking about the fragmentary historical materials, he also felt that Europe in the past was really inferior.

Chen Qi was one of the leaders of the northwest strategy of the Fuhan Army in the future. You don't care how much of his military talent is. This is how all Chinese dynasties have come over. Those who started with the emperor, as long as they do not make big mistakes in the process and do not lose big battles, their status will always rise. Such as Fan Xu, Zhou Bo, Cao Shen, and Xiahou Ying are equal to Liu Bang, such as Tang and Yu Zhu Yuanzhang.

These people are essentially no different from Chen Qi, but they are very different in terms of expression.

The war dominated by guns and firearms is completely different from the era of cold weapons. It's not that the strategy doesn't work, but it doesn't have the magic of the previous millennia of wars. The level of development of firearms in this era determines the rules and order of war in this era. If we talk about flexibility, not to mention that compared with cold weapons troops, even compared with the modern war years after the appearance of breech-loading guns and breech-loading guns, they are also as stiff as dried meat that has been put for a thousand years.

This is especially true of the Fu Han army. Fight firepower, fight logistics. As long as they can maintain the projection of firepower in the war and have a calm brain, is it surprising that Chen Qi, Chen Yongsheng, Gao Pingshan, and Huang Jie are so high-level?

No matter how easy it feels, they can't deny their talent for firepower projection. Chen Qi has been studying the history of Russia for a long time, and at the same time he has read many archives of manuscripts copied from Beijing, such as those of the Military Aircraft Department, the Imperial Academy, the Military Department and the Household Department, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been at war with local forces in the northwest for a hundred years.

He always knows the geography of Xinjiang, right? Do you know who among the forces in Xinjiang is closest to the Manchus, and who has enmity with the Manchus? Do you know the factions and historical origins of the local forces in Xinjiang?

"The Qing army washed Lanzhou?" Chen Qi's mouth grew in surprise. Lanzhou's Xingyue Temple is the center of the Northwest Old Green Sect, many of the Old Green Sect's Ah Hum years ago were studying in Lanzhou, this chaotic soldier together, Xingyue Temple......

"How's Xingyue Temple?"

"Qiaomen Xingyue Temple doesn't know who set a fire, and it burned to the point that only ruins and ruins remain."

Chen Qi jumped up excitedly, the bridge gate is one of the best temples in the Old Green Sect. It is known as the four ancient temples together with Dongguan Temple in Xining, Huajue Temple in Xi'an, and Ati Kaar Temple in Kashgar, Xinjiang. "This fire burns well, burns well." Burned the hearts of the old green sect. The Manchus are self-inflicted, and they can't live! (To be continued.) )
