Batang.

This is the place where the Qin army entered Tibet and trained its troops. It has been almost half a year since Liu Shengzao arrived here with his troops, and today Liu Mingchuan personally escorted supplies to Batang, so that he would take a look at the troops with his own eyes before they entered Tibet.

Batang is located in the valley area on the east bank of the Jinsha River at the northern end of the Hengduan Mountains, which runs through the whole territory, and its topography slopes from north to south along with the direction of the Jinsha River, and presents the shape of high in the north and low in the south, high in the east and low in the west. The topography is trending north-southeast-west above the Changbo estuary, and north-south below the Changbo estuary. The average altitude of the northern extreme mountains is 3,300 meters. The alpine valley area in the central and southern part of the country is generally below 2,800 meters above sea level. The altitude of semi-alpine and alpine mountains in the central and eastern regions is generally between 2,800 and 3,300 meters.

In order to accurately measure the topography here, Liu Siam directly brought in a team of engineers from Germany. Spending a lot of money and asking for foreign aid is not only for the sake of entering the Tibetan troops, but also because the Sichuan-Tibet Highway must be built.

He has been to Batang many times, and even sat in the Tibetan army at the beginning. personally led the team to climb the mountain in Batang for a month, and Liu Mingchuan was able to pass on his bones.

From the early morning to the present, the sweat soaked the back of the clothes, but the energy is always strong, and the body is far from exhaustion.

"Brethren, since dawn we have been walking all morning, so let's rest in place and eat something, and then we will make a fire over the mountain and have lunch." But with Liu Mingchuan, several civilian officers who came to Batang really couldn't support it. Liu Mingchuan only shouted like this at the front of the team, because he didn't want to offend these people.

These people are not in a big position, but they have a lot of power in their hands, and they belong to the gendarmerie department. If your mouth is crooked, it will be crooked. Liu Mingchuan himself will not be troubled, but the future of his subordinates is not guaranteed.

Liu Mingchuan has been included in the Qin army for more than half a year. One of the biggest perceptions of the Qin army is that military orders are like mountains.

Because the military order is like a mountain, there is not much room for development of personal power in the Qin army. Some are personal influence. Therefore, the Qin army has mountains, but no warlords.

Because the military order is like a mountain, the Qin army is strict with military aircraft, and there is no offense against the people. Because if you violate military law, you will be locked up and punished for the light, and you will lose your head and eat a gun for the worst of the worst.

Because the military order is like a mountain, everyone regards the gendarmerie as a daunting path. is Liu Mingchuan, half a year of imperceptible. There is also a subconscious mentality about the gendarmerie that I can't afford to hide.

So Liu Mingchuan said so. Because he knew that as long as he didn't shout to stop, those civilian officers of the gendarmerie would not take the initiative to scream even if they were tired to death.

The gendarmerie itself is its own to form such a great deterrent. is like an old saying in officialdom, "Gong Shengming, Lian Shengwei." "If it is not tough and cannot stand the test, no matter how powerful the gendarmerie is, it will not have the deterrent power that makes people feel in awe rather than fear.

"Liu Xingsan. You're hungry again, aren't you? Even though there are two boxes of canned food per person a day, you can save a little. And according to the regulations, we must 'win the love of the people with practical actions'. Along the way, I see that the life of the Tibetans in the mountains is very hard, so let's save some canned food. The next time I go to the village, I will send it to the Tibetans. ”

It was Zhang Shusheng who spoke.

Beijing directly ordered Liu Mingchuan's general, which made Zhang Shusheng feel very uncomfortable. Let's say that today's bias is towards Liu Mingchuan! He also said that Liu Mingchuan's luck was too good. In the two years of the Qing and Qin wars, Liu Mingchuan did not fight with the Qin army.

Now the troops entering Tibet are really about to enter Tibet. Zhang Shusheng also followed Liu Ming's call. You have to see with your own eyes what Liu Mingchuan's so-called 'unseen elite' looks like!

Liu Mingchuan unscrewed a can of can very unceremoniously and threw the lid back into the bag. It's all iron! Together with the canned food box, it is all recyclable.

"The emperor has a holy decree, and the troops entering Tibet must always ensure nutrition and calories. During the march, two cans of canned food a day were a must. There are meat and vegetables, as well as this peach, pear, orange, apple, and apricot belly, so that I have the strength to climb the mountain. When we arrived at the village in the evening, and stopped to camp without marching, it was enough for us to separate the compressed dry food and fried noodles. The canneries set up by Xicona are for our troops. ”

Zhang Shusheng smiled and didn't eat his own can. Zhang Shusheng, who was born in a big family, is really different from Liu Mingchuan, who was born in agriculture for generations, canned food, canned fruit, canned meat, Zhang Shusheng will eat fresh, I really don't think it is delicious.

Liu Mingchuan also likes to eat canned fruit the most, but he is a little meatless and unhappy, so he also likes canned meat.

Zhang Shusheng just stood there, watching the four or five hundred people in the transport team untie their new army backpacks and put them on the ground, standing or sitting and eating canned food. For a while, the valley was filled with the sound of chirping.

Liu Mingchuan swallowed a mouthful of meat and said, "Brother Zhenxuan, you taste it, now the taste of this canned food is getting better and better!" This sauce fish tastes fresher than live fish! ”

In less than ten minutes, Liu Mingchuan ate a can of canned fish with sauce and soup with meat, took the lid back from the bag, and screwed it all over again. The empty canister is placed back in the bag, and the bag is put back into the rucksack.

"There is meat to eat on the march in the ravines. Brother Zhenxuan, this new dynasty has only been established for two or three years, and it is only one year to completely set the Ding. Can there really be such a big difference compared to the old dynasty? ”

Liu Mingchuan finished eating, and turned out to be a cigarette handed by Zhang Shusheng. The two smoked cigarettes, looking at the soldiers of the transport team and their respective guards who were eating behind them, Liu Ming felt a heart. "We're eating so comfortably now. Think about the beginning! When we follow the boss, as generals, our own food is of course good. But where did his brothers have such good food? At that time, if we wanted to be able to give our brothers a meal of meat to eat, we didn't need Zeng Laojiu, and we could fight all the way to Nanjing!

Look at the physique and physique of this soldier now, and look at the morale of the troops, it's really a howl! ”

"The troops in Sichuan are treated better when they enter Tibet, and the training conditions are the hardest. I'm here to see how much stronger your 'unseen elite' can be than the troops in Sichuan! ”

Zhang Shusheng is going to study at the military academy in August, and these are first-hand information.

The soldiers were well fed, well-fed, trained every day, and practiced every day. Compared with the original Huai Army and the training army, how different is it? Zhang Shusheng has realized it from his heart.

He knew that the Qin army was trained like this, but the Qin army was fed at the beginning. It is definitely not as good as the current Qin army. Therefore, Zhang Shusheng thinks that the current soldiers under his command are no weaker than the same Qin army. What he is curious about now is why Liu Mingchuan can say those five words. Liu Mingchuan's Ming army, after streamlining and more than half a year of rectification, is faintly stronger than Zhang Shusheng, Zhang Shusheng can't think of what a more elite army than such an army looks like!

He said to his subordinates three months ago: "No wonder the Qin army fights foreign devils, one hit one accurate." Now Lao Tzu's soldiers can also win against foreigners. ”

Zhang Shusheng, who had stayed in Shanghai and southeast, had seen the British and French troops in the concession, and three months ago he had the confidence to defeat the same number of foreign troops.

The training of the Qin army, which was more intense than the usual Western-style military training, really changed the appearance of the remaining Hunan and Huai troops in Sichuan after a few months of training.

"Brother Zhenxuan. You'll know when you see the troops entering Tibet. Half a year of climbing the mountain is not in vain. That's not just a physical exercise, they're not a mountain infantry brigade. It was a kind of spiritual sharpening and tempering.

After the troops have trained to the level of the central Sichuan troops, if they want to take a step further, what they have tempered is the spirit and perseverance of the soldiers. Establish the faith of the soldiers and unite the military soul of a unit! ”

Zhang Shusheng looked at Liu Mingchuan in surprise. Spirit, perseverance, faith, and military soul ......, is this still Liu Ming's biography? These words sound like they want to be more Westernized and more Westernized. Although the Chinese army also has such a saying about faith and perseverance among soldiers, the spirit and military soul are too mysterious. Biner has been following Liu Mingchuan for more than ten years. I didn't see how he affected Liu Mingchuan. Now it's ......

"This is mentioned in the textbooks of the military academy general class. Although we haven't gone to the general class yet, it's okay to get the teaching materials first. ”

As if seeing Zhang Shusheng's surprise, Liu Mingchuan opened his mouth to explain. He won't tell Zhang Shusheng the truth, and he won't say that Liu Xian wrote this paragraph directly in his correspondence with him.

"The troops in Kawanaka are still far from being really strong."

Liu Mingchuan sighed. In his mind, he thought of the words on Liu Xian's letter: "Shenzhou is sinking, the Celestial Empire is falling, and the people are in a downturn." But the courage of the people is endless. Gather into an army and practice in detail. Warm clothes and enough food, and the army can be strengthened in less than a year.

Exercise your spirit. Tempering the will, instilling the great idea of revitalizing China, recreating the Celestial Empire, external insult and oppression, and clear hatred, can unite faith and run through the whole army. ”

Liu Xian has always felt that it is not difficult for the Qin army to fight to the point of conviction, but it is more difficult to rise to the point of condensing the soul of the army, that is, to bless the relatively vague concept of patriotism. Because China under his leadership will not be oppressed and humiliated for a long time, but will continue to expand and expand to oppress and humiliate others and other countries.

Without this momentum, after waiting for more than ten or twenty years, another generation will grow up, and even the Chinese army may not even reach the level of 'faith'.

In the end, it became the first firepower unit backed by a powerful industry, that is, the U.S. army in the original time and space!

The Chinese army may be detached from a certain unit into a unit with a military spirit because of a certain battle or a certain arduous war. But on the whole, Liu Xian believed that it would be difficult for his troops to reach the army of the Red Dynasty at the time of its founding.

The situation is different, and China will not be so traumatized in this time and space;

The background is different, from now on, the Qin army's armament and logistics will only get better and better in the future.

Liu Mingchuan initially recognized Liu Xian's words, and the other part scoffed. But after seeing the recent changes in the troops entering Tibet, Liu Mingchuan absolutely made sense for Liu Xian to speak sincerely.

The troops who entered Tibet have definitely entered the door. Their beliefs are being established, half a year. Half a year of cultural classes, teaching and training in the army instilled in 3,000 soldiers the importance of Tibet, instilled that Tibet is an inalienable part of China's territory, and instilled in the British people's coveting of Tibet!

The conviction of the troops entering Tibet is in the making. Therefore, they are completely different from the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the troops in central Sichuan. Zhang Shusheng will be surprised! (To be continued......)
