Chapter 104: Shaanxi-Gansu Strategy

After returning to Chengdu, the main forces were gradually transferred to Chengdu and other core areas, even the military important place of Chongqing Town, only one regiment of troops was dispatched, more than 1,000 people defended, it can be said that the troops were quite thin.

It is Luo Yang's greatest wish to destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty and save China from the rule of the decadent and incompetent, despicable and shameless traitorous regime as soon as possible.

On the way back to the army, Sichuan, which is known as China's wealth, also starved from time to time, the people wore tattered clothes, and could barely fill their stomachs with rough food, which was already the greatest luxury.

Looking at modern times from the late Qing Dynasty, even the grass people at the bottom should be a good day above heaven.

But immediately stop and develop the economy? Let Sichuan Province stand out?

Unrealistic, impossible, closed inland provinces lacking technology and capital, as well as basic awareness, can of course develop, but it is difficult to speed. Moreover, in the international jungle of the jungle where the law of the jungle preys, the value of dignity and life is even more important.

At the gate of Chengdu, tens of thousands of people poured out on their own initiative to welcome the main force returning to the west, and Zeng Shihe and the troops who stayed behind were even more overjoyed.

After half a month's march, the commanders of all the troops rushed to the temporary national capital to participate in the new military conference, because the major decisions of the Han Heavenly Kingdom were about to be launched.

The rivers and mountains are still the same, the summer heat is still the same, but the appearance of the people in Chengdu has undergone major changes, everyone lives happily, smiling, men, women and children, bustling, when the streets meet, they are always enthusiastic.

The braids of the former Great Qing Kingdom are still seen from time to time, but there are not many, and the Great Han Heavenly Kingdom issued an order to cut braids, but there is a transition period, which gives a considerable buffer time, and also allows everyone to slowly adapt to the new life.

Men who cut their braids, some of them shaved their hair, in the hot season, refreshing and cool, or like the Taiping Army, tied their hair in a variety of styles, quite free, everyone from the initial shock to now indifference, it is not surprising.

"Welcome back in triumph!"

Inside and outside the city walls of Chengdu, there are such warm welcome slogans everywhere, such placards, simple and even rude things, there is no substitute for creating an atmosphere and mobilizing the emotions of the people.

The surrounding officers and soldiers, full of reverence and expectation, but very politely and cautiously gave way to the minimum road, to Luoyang pass, in the streets of Chengdu, dozens of army commanders, division commanders, brigade commanders and other senior officers, bright uniforms, lined up, solemn military salute, gave Luo Yang quite a surprise.

Because the matter was urgent, he went directly to the city to hold a meeting, and in the official residence of the ruling government, Luo Yang sat on a clean chair, "Everyone welcomes this king, hard work"

"King Rui is hard!" Everyone spoke in unison.

Luoyang's troops, after solving the Qing army in Chongqing, went out to the east, converged with Zhao Yu's troops, and uprooted the Qing army strongholds along the way, all the Qing army fortresses were as fragile as paper in front of the power of Luoyang's flying thunder cannons, and the tolerant acceptance policy of Luoyang was as fragile as paper, and the benefit of the tolerant acceptance policy in Nanyang was that the grassroots rule of the Qing army collapsed violently.

Delayed time, so, Luo Yang was the last to rush back to Chengdu, with guilt, he talked about his thoughts: "Brothers, the development of the times, a thousand miles a day, think that a few months ago our army was still in the southwest of the province, suffered from the Qing army's attack, interception and disruption, encountered a major crisis, and now, the whole province of Sichuan is under the control of our army, the Sichuan area, the only force that can pose a threat to our army, has disappeared. The Hunan army Liu Rong was defeated and retreated, the Sichuan army Tang Yougeng was completely annihilated, and the rest of the box army departments were also defeated out of the province and fled in all directions, our army achieved a brilliant victory, the next step, the king thought, stick to Sichuan, ensure the basis, concentrate an elite, go north to Shaanxi, Gansu, sweep away the ethnic melee there, save the people of all ethnic groups, especially the Han people, and so on to stabilize and unite the two provinces, my Han Heavenly Kingdom will have a considerable strength base, at that time, enter, you can go northeast, go straight to the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, retreat, you can protect Sichuan, Southeast to the two lakes, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu and other places, covering the southeast! ”

Luo Yang himself said that his strategy was a curve strategy, a clockwise sickle harvesting map, from north to east and south, unifying the whole country.

"Time is not waiting for me, the soldiers are fast, this king has been thinking about this for a long time, now, please discuss first, analyze the pros and cons, for the intention of this strategy, this king will explain one by one!"

Luo Yang, who was articulate, quickly made everyone understand the intention, and immediately, at this core meeting of the Kingdom of Heaven, which had an extremely democratic atmosphere, ignited a raging fire of ideological debate.

The generals of the Great Han Heavenly Kingdom are all martial artists, and many of them are illiterate and reckless farmers in the countryside, but the cruel competition for survival and rich experience have made everyone understand the situation of the whole country and think about the way to solve it.

"King Rui, I thought that we should attack the southeast directly!" A certain young officer stood up, in fact, he represented Huang Zaizhong's meaning, but the latter was old and serious, and found a spokesman.

His reason is obvious, now, the weapons and equipment of the Great Han Heavenly Kingdom, especially the firepower of the units, are very strong. The use is also very sufficient, far superior to the Qing army, should be a blow, attack the southeast, down the middle of the Yangtze River, smashed into the belly of the Hunan army, then all the Hunan army, the Eight Banners Army, the green battalion and other Qing demon troops, will suffer from two sides of the attack, the day of defeat, just around the corner.

There were many fans, fans, and people who talked about the idea, and nodded their heads and said, "It should be like this." ”

Actually, it's a different strategy. It is also the most confusing for everyone.

Luo Yang glanced at everyone, and countless acquaintances here were looking forward to his answer with puzzled expressions.

However, Zhang Suimou, the military and political premier, had already shaken his head and smiled, he fanned a small fan, as if nothing happened, and did not participate in the debate, giving people a leisurely and calm atmosphere.

Luo Yang knew that he was giving himself a chance to explain, otherwise, this half-blind scheming man would have been quick to speak.

"The southeast and the two lakes are a brotherly strategy and a moral strategy, and it is not impossible, and the advantage is that it can quickly defeat the main force of the Qing army, and even transform it into the elite of our army, so that the brothers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the southeast will suffer less losses. It can destroy the brutal rule of the Manchu demons faster. Luo Yang affirmed the merits of the eastward expansion strategy, but changed his mind: "However, if we jointly destroy the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how will we coordinate after that?" At the beginning, the Wing King came to the west because of the confusion of the Heavenly King, could it be that we accept the leadership of the Heavenly King? In addition, the decisive battle of Huxiang will further aggravate the internal consumption of our Han nationality, with more casualties, more contradictions, and greater hatred. In terms of long-term planning, it is not good. And all these drawbacks, in the strategy of Shaanxi and Gansu's northward expansion, happen to be completely absent! ”

The Shaanxi-Gansu strategy conceived by Luo Yang was mainly to solve the problem of ethnic contradictions and resolutely stop the rare ethnic massacre in the northwest, so as to win the support of the Han and Hui ethnic groups, not only to save the vitality of the nation, but also to greatly win the hearts of the people.

"The big benefit is that the main force of the Qing army and the main force of the southeast Taiping army are fighting, and our department just takes advantage of the situation to attack the hinterland of the Qing demon,"
