Chapter 166: Zhuan Feng River State
Entrenched in the area of Ningxia Prefecture, the largest Hui army in the northern part of Gansu Province in the late Qing Dynasty, or the separatist force Ma Hualongbu, was completely defeated, and then, the Luoyang army stationed troops here, immigrated to the cantonment, and set up a special regiment to garrison Jinji Fort, and then supervised the people, all the fortresses were destroyed, and announced that in the future, no one should build a fortress at any time without the approval of the government, otherwise, it would be a rebellion.
On the one hand, the ruling power was strengthened, and on the other hand, the Hui people and the upper strata were also vigorously pacified, and a double measure was taken, which was to relocate and imprison those who resolutely resisted the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, such as Ma Hualong, and to give great commendations and appointments to those who were willing to surrender and truly united and sincere.
Luoyang also dispatched several political task forces to study and implement the system of regional ethnic autonomy in combination with all strata of the Hui nationality, to give the Hui nationality many rights, to prohibit ethnic hatred and discrimination, and to fully protect the rights and interests of the Hui nationality and all ethnic groups in the Ningxia area.
These are all complicated tasks, but they are also very important to the establishment of unity and loyalty to the Hui Department.
Since then, Ningxia has been completely peaceful, and there has been no large-scale turmoil, unlike in history, because of the conflict between Ma Zhongying and Feng Yuxiang's National Army, which caused another ** scale of national turmoil, vendettas, millions of dead and wounded,
In order to ensure the loyalty of the upper echelons of the Hui people, other measures were also taken, such as forced marriage of the upper echelons, with blood ties, and in special periods, measures were taken to accept hostages, and the elite of the Hui army in Ningxia was recruited and recruited 6,000 people, organized into five infantry regiments, and joined Huaxia Tian**, thinking that it would be used to weaken the strength of the Hui army.
opened the door to governance, Luo Yang led the army, and hurried to the south of Gansu, because, a new battle was waiting for him,
A series of battles to suppress and divide the territory with Jinjibao as the core, starting from the conception of the strategy and ending with the complete realization of more than a month, this battle fully demonstrated the power of Huaxia Tian**, the wisdom and bravery of the generals, the comprehensive equipment and training ability of the army, and it was a comprehensive large-scale training.
If we compare the real process of Zuo Zongtang's pacification of Ningxia in the late Qing Dynasty in history, we will find that the victory of the Luoyang Army, the momentum of the storm, is wonderful, and it has fully exerted its own advantages.
The key here is that the use of special operations, the equipment of "heavy artillery" such as flying thunder guns and infantry grenades, etc., makes the combat effectiveness of Huaxia Tian significantly higher than that of the Hui army.
In the return of the troops, Luo Yang summarized and commended the generals of the participating troops, commended each general and the role of each unit, and also pointed out the problem, focusing on commending the whole, encouraging group fighting, and cooperating with tacit collectivist ideas, of course, also set up several typical examples, such as, Qiu Yuancai's army is alone behind the enemy's advance and retreat, Lan Chengchun's army is not afraid of danger, the strategy of being invincible first, Dong Fuxiang's army's cooperation, and Dai Beibei's special combat troops' special exploits, In short, the simple commendation of the artillery regiments, battalions, and companies, which focused on encouragement and summing up lessons and lessons, greatly boosted the morale of the officers and men.
In fact, even if there is no need for much strong political operation, just an unprecedented brilliant victory is enough, the officers and soldiers are satisfied enough, different from the Shaanxi war, at that time, the Hui army was more honest, large-scale crowd charge, belonging to the field battle, the strong firepower naturally wins, and the battle of Ningxia is different, the enemy army is distributed in layers of strong fortresses, convenient advance and retreat, occupy the time, location, people, a little not handled well, it will form a protracted war, so that Huaxia Tian ** not only suffered heavy losses, but also delayed time,
Directly return to Lanzhou, with Lan Chengchun as the Ningxia Economic Envoy, with the victorious division, temporarily stationed, and then talk about it after the situation is stable.
When the news of the pacification of Ningxia reached Lanzhou, Luo Bingzhang and others were ecstatic, because he was a member of the Qing court, and he had long paid attention to the uprising of the Hui army in Shaanxi and Gansu, and the Taiping army and the Hui army were also frequently active at the junction of Shaanxi and Sichuan.
"The terrain of Jinjibao is complex, the Hui army is united, and many Hui people from our official army get military training and armaments, and it is also widely used as a fortress, the most difficult to deal with, unexpectedly, under the military power of King Rui, in an instant, it will collapse."
After Luo Yang returned to Lanzhou, he told the generals about the planning and progress of the entire campaign, and told all the generals, especially those who surrendered in the Qing army, they found that they looked down on the consul of Huaxia Tian from afar, thinking that his experience and ability were as meager as his age, and his failure was indeed an accidental factor, coupled with poor equipment, and now, from the depths of their souls, rose up to admire Luo Yang,
"King Rui is far-sighted and strategic, and we are happy and convinced." Luo Bingzhang sighed again,
"Back then, King Rui beheaded me with 300 elite soldiers and 5,000 people in the Songlin River, and now he is dressed up in disguise with 300 elite soldiers, going deep into the tiger's den, and getting the tiger straight up. Hu Zhonghe, the former general of the Hunan Army, in order to show his endless love, actually explained all the things that involved him.
Most of the Qing court officials were familiar with the talents and power of Ma Hualong in Ningxia Prefecture, so they all felt that the victory was not easy to come by.
"Okay, everyone, let's stop boasting, we have to find a way to get rid of Ma Zhanao in Hezhou immediately." Luo Yang changed the topic, otherwise, it's embarrassing to be too arrogant about his personal personality cult,
Of course, in this process, there is also a premise, exposing and criticizing Cao Kezhong, the former Qing general who defected in the battle, and also sounding a wake-up call to the former Qing army generals.
Luo Yang immediately dispatched troops and set up a strategic offensive posture against Hezhou, and at the same time, with Luo Bingzhang and others, summarized and synthesized the intelligence of Hezhou in order to formulate appropriate strategies and tactics.
Luo Bingzhang was not idle here, while continuing to take care of the little girl he carried with him, he sent many people, especially the former Shaanxi Hui people, to reconnoiter and spy on Hezhou, and even sent some people to assassinate Ma Zhanao: "King Rui, although Hezhou is a remote place, the people are strong, the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, and the location is slightly inferior to Jinjibao, and the wisdom and courage are higher. ”
"Since the geographical location of Shanghe Prefecture is poor, our army can drive straight into it and go down in all directions." Luo Yang spoke quickly, and said with an outline,
