“…… On the eastern front, the main force of Chen Tingxiang's Red Eighth Army had advanced to the front line of Baodi and Ninghe, and its vanguard had found the Tsarist Russian army in the Fengrun area with an attempt to advance westward, and had a fight with it. However, the Tsarist ghosts were obviously frightened by us, and only after a short encounter, they hurriedly retreated to Yongping Mansion (Lulong). "After Li Shixian, the commander-in-chief of the siege front, reported the details of the troops on the siege front, Chen Yucheng began to introduce the progress of the various units around Beijing." To the north, Tan Shaoguang's Red First Army had completely controlled the lands of Yanqing, Huairou, and Miyun. On the southern front, Lin Qirong is scheduled to launch a final general attack on Zhuozhou tonight......"

"Such a swift movement of a large corps can only be done by our Celestial Empire Red Army," Lin Haifeng tapped the match in his hand and lit his pipe. After sucking it seriously, he raised his eyes to look at Zuo Zongtang, "Hehe, don't ask, the results of the Red Second Front Army in your hands are also brilliant, right?" ”

"Yes, that's a natural thing," Zuo Zongtang shook the battle report in his hand and looked at the generals in the room, "Shi Xiangzhen's progress in Shanxi is unusually smooth, and he has now surrounded Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi. And Wei Jun's department has conquered Zhengding, and the army has gathered in Baoding, the capital of Zhili, and Mianyu has become a bird in a cage. According to Wei Jun's report, Mianyu began to waver a little in desperation and was seeking negotiations. ”

"Let's talk, if we can talk, we can talk," Lin Haifeng nodded with a smile, and then pointed at Chen Yucheng, "A while ago, I asked everyone to run fast, but now I ask not to be in a hurry." In addition, it is necessary to clear the remaining enemies on the transportation line to ensure the smooth flow of follow-up supply. ”

"Yes, rest assured, Your Highness, I have already made arrangements for this."

"Well, okay," Lin Haifeng nodded happily, and turned his face to look at Zuo Zongtang again, "To give Li Kaifang an order, others have done what should be done, and the rest is his. ”

"Haha......" Zuo Zongtang couldn't help laughing, "Director, you are telling our Minister Li not to want to sleep well for a few days and nights." ”

"Hehe, if it were possible, I'd be willing to never sleep. Alas, this sleep is a great burden for man. Lin Haifeng said, looking at Chen Yucheng, "Yucheng, you will soon be out of the customs, and I have already asked the Supreme Revolutionary Commanders Council to make you the future director of the Northeast Military and Political Office and commander of the Northeast Military Region." Although you are still in Beijing, you should sleep less and think more about the Northeast. ”

"Your Highness, I'm thinking," Chen Yucheng smiled hesitantly, turning his head to look at the big map hanging on the wall, "I've been thinking about what that large piece of land in the northeast looks like all the way south, and how good it would be if I could have stepped one step earlier." ”

"Oh?" Lin Haifeng glanced at Chen Yucheng, got up and walked to the map, "Then tell me now, what is the most appropriate location for your future office?" ”

"Sheng Jing," Zuo Zongtang laughed, "In order to consolidate the so-called 'Zhaoxing place' and 'birthplace' in the northeast of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, didn't they also specially build a 'wicker side' to restrict our Han people from going out of the customs, then you, General Chen, will simply sit directly on their dragon court this time, and see who else can dare to help you?" ”

"That's okay," Li Shixian waved his hand, not even looking at the map, "It's too far, it's too far from the border." Enjoy the blessings and guard the border errands. ”

"That's right," Chen Yucheng came to the map, stretched out his two fingers, and held down both positions at the same time, "It's either this, Aihui, or this, Boli." ”

"Have eyesight," Lin Haifeng smiled hehehe, "The envisaged future headquarters of the Northern Military Region will be located in Kulun, the headquarters of the Northwest Military Region will be in Yili, and the headquarters of your Northeast Military Region will be in Boli." What Shixian just said is right, we are soldiers, and the mission of soldiers is not to enjoy happiness, but to ensure the peace of the people. We do not want another war, but, for the sake of the peace of the people, there is a high probability that we will be forced to fight war after war. It's not okay to cower back from afar, it will affect your vision and wear down your sharpness. Some people always like to put a country's first line of defense on their own borders, in fact, that is wrong. Our first line of defense should not be at the border, but outside it. ”

"Not bad, not bad," Zuo Zongtang looked at Lin Haifeng and nodded again and again, "Peace is not something that can be obtained by showing goodness, it depends on the fists that are waved every day." Make a posture that if anyone dares to misbehave, I will put down whoever lies down at any time, and there may never be a battle to fight. Otherwise, you won't get a good life every day. ”

"Hehe, the metaphor of Chief of Staff Zuo is very vivid," Lin Haifeng looked at Zuo Zongtang with a smile, and then, looking at Li Shixian and Cao Weiren, the commander of the Beijing City Garrison, who was about to take office, "The people in the city are not all willing to bow down and capture, if necessary, are you going to use that force to go in and suppress it?" ”

Hearing Lin Haifeng's question, Li Shixian and Chen Yucheng looked at each other and smiled, turning their gaze to Cao Weiren.

"According to the information coming out of the city, Commander-in-Chief Li has made arrangements in this regard accordingly," Cao Weiren grinned at Lin Haifeng, scratching his head as he spoke, "Speaking of which, everyone is rushing to enter the city to fight this last battle, hehe...... After all, it's a big name. However, if we talk about this urban street fight, to be honest, we really can't compare to Liu Mingyuan's teaching brigade, so ...... Therefore, this time, they took the lead, and our army's special service group assisted. ”

"In addition, in order to avoid further damage to the city as much as possible, we have ordered the Teaching Brigade and the Red Fifth Army Special Service Regiment not to use heavy equipment in battle...... Li Shixian added.

"What is heavy equipment?" Lin Haifeng looked at Li Shixian, as if he was a little knowingly asking.

"This ......," Li Shixian paused, and then said, "except for all kinds of artillery fire, grenades are not allowed to be used." ”

"Then what are we going to do in this battle?" Lin Haifeng walked back to the table and threw the pipe in his hand on the table, "Do you want to gnaw with your teeth?" ”

Li Shixian was a little baffled by Lin Haifeng's annoyance, "This ...... This is ......" What he wants to say is, this is what you said before the war? Isn't it to have a complete Beijing city, which will be the new capital of the Celestial Empire in the future? Most of the men and horses of Yiyun and Bai Ye are based in the mansions of various princes and nobles, so if there is a big fight......

"Oh, according to your meaning, are those dead things more precious than the lives of our Red Army soldiers?" Lin Haifeng snorted, "Don't give orders so absolutely." Grenadiers and grenades can be brought in, but not only should they not be abused as a last resort. We must believe in our soldiers, we must protect our soldiers as much as possible, and we must remember that no human life is more precious than anything, especially the lives of our Red Army officers and soldiers. ”

"Director, your old friend is really here again," Hou Yutian, the head of the intelligence department of the camp, walked into the house at this time, saluted Lin Haifeng, and smiled, "They seem to be in a hurry, and they didn't contact in advance, so they went directly out of the city and broke into the defense of the front-line troops." ”

"Well, that's the power of the fist." Zuo Zongtang stood up and hurriedly washed away the unpleasantness in the room just now.

"Okay, Your Excellency my chief of staff, let's stop waving it now," Lin Haifeng chuckled, stretched out his hand and pressed Zuo Zongtang's raised fist, and shook his head at the generals in the room, "Let's go, come with me to welcome old friends, the more times like this, the more we have to show that we will not bully others." ”

Zaiyuan on horseback ran at the front of the group. From a distance, he saw a group of Red Army soldiers dressed in khaki and yellow, surrounded by a man dressed in bright apricot yellow Han robes, walking out outside the gate of the former coalition headquarters. He couldn't help but grab the reins, and quickly turned over and dismounted.

(In the "Liubian Chronicle" written by Yang Bin of the Qing Dynasty, the record of Shanhaiguan and its entry and exit system is very detailed.) According to the book, after the Qing court moved the ruling center to Guannai, it began to build wicker side walls on the vast northeastern land, making both the border and the outside a forbidden area, and strictly prohibiting Han people from entering. The side wall is three feet high, three feet wide, three rows of willow trees are planted on the wall, three willow trees are planted every five feet, and two willow sticks are used to connect the trees and trees, which is called "cloth willow knot rope". There is an artificially dug ditch outside the side wall, and the ditch forms a barrier with the wall, so it is called willow edge, or wicker side wall. The wicker is divided into old side and new side. The old side was built in the early Qing Dynasty, located in the territory of present-day Liaoning Province, starting from Phoenix City in the east, passing through Kaiyuan to Shanhaiguan, with a total length of nearly 1,000 kilometers, called "Shengjing Border Wall". Xinbian started to repair in the ninth year of Kangxi (1670), completed in nine years, starting from Kaiyuan in Liaoning Province in the south, passing through Siping, Yitong, Changchun, Shuangyang and Jiutai in Jilin Province, and ending at Liangjia Mountain in Shulan County, with a total length of about 350 kilometers. After the completion of the new border in 1681, the Qing government strictly stipulated: Anyone who catches clams, otters, honey, and ginseng in the forbidden area will be punished with two months' shackles, 100 whips, and other severe punishments. )
