Chapter 281: The Final Battle of the Manchus VIII
readx;
On the third day after the wedding, the robes and rudders of all walks of life in Sichuan gathered at Chaotianmen to go to Lin Haijiang's Hongmen banquet, they didn't believe that Lin Haijiang was a dignified head of the empire, and would play a rogue with them to play a ninth-rate trick, after all, the wedding of Honggu and Wang Lei, the commander of the Imperial Marine Corps, was already well known, so everyone had a little trust in Lin Haijiang, who started the rebellion, and the other point was that the general trend was forced to force the follow-up legions of the Chinese Empire to move in on a large scale. And began to conscript troops in the hinterland of Sichuan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Because the Chinese Empire's conscription treatment is good, one person can almost feed the whole family as a soldier, except for the very high requirements, there is basically no shortcoming, so the conscripts can be said to be squeezed out of the head, as the Chinese Empire's army begins to deploy, fools can see that the Chinese Empire is making comprehensive preparations for their own hands, once the other party completes the comprehensive military deployment, the next step is probably not so polite, it is likely to start a large-scale purge.
The robe buddies are basically bitter haha, but the helmsmen are all family and business, this time they were also framed on the opposite side of the empire, because of the lack of channels for understanding nuclear communication with the Chinese Empire, so there were some farces such as a strike, and now the head of the empire personally came forward to solve it, they are naturally unwilling to go against the government, and they will naturally not have their good fruits to eat when they go against the government, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Chinese Empire entered Sichuan, is it just to exert pressure?
For the helmsmen of the various robes, Lin Haijiang directly told them that they would transform the robes and become organizations like the Imperial Production and Construction Corps after screening, and the helmsmen would change from informal to official spokespersons, whose main tasks were to build water conservancy and transportation, develop river transportation and promote the economy, and so on.
None of the people present dared to say anything about Lin Haijiang's arrangement, because what Lin Haijiang announced before this was the clean-up plan for some troubled water robes and bandits who made excuses and did not come, and some troubled water robes and bandits who gathered in the mountains and forests, and for Lin Haijiang to dare to move the knife, it can be said that the helmsmen present are fully prepared.
In their opinion, the Chinese Empire's millions of troops are astonishing, but in fact this is entirely the remarkable result of Lin Haijiang's combination of the reserve system and the rotation training method in which all the people are soldiers, and the Chinese Empire can be said to have truly hidden troops from the people, and at least the more than 3 million officers and men of the Production and Construction Corps are engaged in production and regularly train with weapons.
On August 26, 1863, Lin Haijiang, who was very satisfied with the relatively stable situation in Sichuan, was ready to return to Nanjing, because with the cooperation of the localities, whether it was to stabilize local social order or to eliminate mountain bandits and river tyrants, and other actions were very smooth. Assigned to garrisons and militia groups to defend them, to carry out 24-hour patrols and inspections on the sections of the road where bandits might go out, to carry out dragnet-style sweeps of bandits' locations, and to organize bandits' families to go into the mountains every day to shout and shout, and so on, the means used by Lin Haijiang can be said to have achieved very quick results, and the bandits that have plagued Sichuan for hundreds of years have actually seen the effect of control in just over half a month, which is something that everyone did not expect at the beginning.
Just when Lin Haijiang was about to leave Sichuan, Wanxin, who used his carriage to travel, was unexpectedly attacked, and under the counterattack of the armed military police special forces and guards, all the seventeen bandits who came were killed, but because the attack was dressed in imperial uniforms, the guards who were also caught off guard by surprise, and the guards also suffered more than ten casualties.
Lin Haijiang knew that this matter was definitely not that simple, and the target of the other party's attack was probably not Wanxin, but his own carriage! Someone actually tried to assassinate himself? Lin Haijiang didn't have a clue for a while, the reason was very simple, because Lin Haijiang usually offended too many people, and it was expected that he would be attacked, otherwise why would his carriage use a six-horse carriage? The main reason is that the carriage is loaded with armor plates used in the gunboat command room, that is, these armor plates saved Wanxin's life and resisted the attack of grenade fragments.
Soon, Wang Faren, who was investigating at the scene, returned to the gunboat, because of the attack, Lin Haijiang and Wanxin were covered by Gao Qi's troops to board the ship, and Wang Faren was a little helpless to the scene investigation: "There are no obvious tattoos on the body, and the military uniforms used are the official equipment of the empire, and they are definitely not imitations, and they also imitated the officer and soldier documents of the empire, and the technology of making fakes can be described as first-class. After a few more glances, the other party thought that their identities were exposed and opened fire directly, and most of our casualties were caused by grenades, and I think the main direction of the investigation should be the source of weapons and clothing. ā
Lin Haijiang nodded, he very much agreed with Wang Faren's investigation direction, but there are only two possibilities that can launch such a large-scale attack, one is a threat from within the empire, but so far Lin Haijiang has not felt the direction of the existence of this threat, it can also be said that this result is the last thing Lin Haijiang wants to see, the second possibility is the personnel sent by the Qing court, but according to the records of Wang Faren's intelligence headquarters, the Qing court does not seem to have such a powerful hidden spy organization in Sichuan.
However, this unexpected attack reminded Lin Haijiang that he needs to pay attention to the personal safety of himself and his family now, if he becomes the target of the attack on the hungry family, then even if Lin Haijiang himself has three heads, six arms and eighteen martial arts, I am afraid there is no way to avoid it, the family is Lin Haijiang's weakness and backlash, for this Lin Haijiang gave Wang Faren a death order, no matter what, the mastermind behind the attack must be dug out, and these potential dangers must be nipped in the bud.
On September 5, 1863, Lin Haijiang left Wang Faren in Sichuan to organize manpower to solve the attack case, and he left Yucheng with Wanxin to return to Nanjing, and the Third Mountain Infantry Regiment recruited from Sichuan was fully manned, waiting for six months of basic training and then going out of Sichuan for training.
Because the Sichuan Chaos involved too much energy and time for Lin Haijiang, the relationship between the main battlefield made Lin Haijiang feel like putting the cart before the horse, but the destruction of the main battlefield made Lin Haijiang have a sense of success.
Now no one doubts whether the Qing court will withdraw from the political arena, as if the demise of the Qing court has become a trend, the unstoppable Chinese emperor is rapidly advancing on almost all fronts, and the production and construction corps is the only unit that is a little unbearable.
Lin Haijiang is paying attention to the domestic battlefield at the same time, but also closely watching the international aspect, because the empire is busy with the reunification, the situation in Europe has undergone earth-shaking changes, France because of the repayment of Germany's war reparations, so the German army was forced to withdraw from France, the Germans can be said to be very unwilling to France to rise again, so the Germans frequently make temptations in the African colonies!
The temptation of the Germans in the eyes of the French is tantamount to intensifying the provocation, so the French gave up the French interest circle in East Africa to the British, and sent a secret envoy to Russia to communicate, at the cost of 20 million francs in exchange for the support of the Russians, it can be said that whether it is the British or the Russians, they do not want to see the rise and power of Germany in Europe, so France's international policy has been successful, and the French seem to have achieved the greatest benefits at the minimum cost, in international diplomacy, The French have achieved unprecedented success!
The newly rising Germany is also because of the relationship with the Chinese Imperial Alliance, in the rumored Europe, it can be said that there are few opponents everywhere, so Germany is following the original prophecy of Lin Haijiang, the Russians are a very painful place for Germany, the Germans sincerely hope to be able to form an alliance with the Russians, but the Russians, who are used to being the European gendarmes, do not want another gendarme to appear in Europe, Therefore, the Russians, who were ambitious in the overall international strategy, strategically adopted an attitude of containing Germany.
This attitude eventually led to bad relations between Germany and Russia! The Russians, the French, and the British, it seems that the whole of Europe is expanding its army, Lin Haijiang did not expect the situation in Europe to change so quickly, if according to the current situation of discovery and national relations, Lin Haijiang believes that in less than a few years, the first world-scale war is very likely to break out!
