Chapter 56: Episode of March
It doesn't take too long for the army to assemble.
Now that the various systems of the Wehrmacht have been perfected, as long as the willingness to send troops is given above, then a series of arrangements will be carried out in an instant, and the non-commissioned soldiers will be assembled as quickly as possible, and at the same time the preparation of logistical baggage will begin.
20,000 men were assembled in a very short time, including a marine division, two cavalry reinforced brigades, and an artillery brigade.
The baggage was also completed the next day, and by this time the troops of the army had already begun to advance towards Qinghai Province. Based on the current road conditions, it will arrive in about three days. Unlike the previous battles against Burma, at that time, in order to defeat Burma as quickly as possible, the concept of light advance was adopted, even if it was with artillery, it was also a light artillery, or a sober mortar.
This time it was a heavy artillery with it, and a heavy artillery was more powerful and could better control the battlefield. Second, the powerful power can better destroy the hearts of the thieves, making them feel afraid and hopeless. A soldier who surrenders without a fight, no matter what era it is, is still the 'best policy' in military law.
Also because of the heavy artillery, it is inevitable that the trip will be dragged down. However, this battle is not urgent, according to Zhang Hongbin's meaning, there are almost no Han people in the Wusi-Tibetan region, they are guilty of doing chaos to eradicate dissidents or something, even if they die, they will die their own people, and it doesn't matter how many people die.
Those who are familiar with Zhang Hongbin naturally know that this man, who seems to intend to unite all ethnic groups under the general righteousness of the Chinese nation, actually has a very strong nationalism, and he believes in the supremacy of the Han nationality, which is actually not surprising, because the Han people in this era have this plot.
But he had to give this slogan, because everyone found that Zhang Hongbin's ambitions seemed to be more than just Huaxia.
Myanmar has been laid, what is left? Mongolia seems to be in the scope of his plans, so what about Siam? What about Houjin? What about Korea, the Wa Kingdom?
Not to mention, since the sea ships have been built, the target will naturally not be limited to land, Nanyang seems to be in his plan, and even in the map, the three continents on the other side of the ocean are also one of his goals.
Some people may laugh at it, life has been in a hurry for decades, and it is not easy to defeat Huaxia, and it will be just another tyrannical Qin when the time comes.
Zhang Hongbin doesn't care, in this world of great controversy, if he doesn't even ask for this point, he is embarrassed to say that he is a traverser?
Why develop more powerful weapons, why govern internal affairs, and even further influence others? Looking at the number of births, the number of births in various places last year was more than three times that of Chongzhen's second year.
Children were born in various places, and the war did not reduce the population of China, but because all places attached importance to the relationship between people's livelihood, the total population also increased. In time, the population of China will rise to a new height. 40,000,000 at the end of the Qing Dynasty is a ball, and the population of China will reach 10 billion in 300 years!
Yes, 10 billion Chinese people live all over the world.
As for the European and American countries, let them obediently stay in the birthplace of their civilization! In order to enter the Republic and settle down, it is necessary to be a citizen of the Republic of a single nationality, and only then can it be recognized as having the right of legal residence. Otherwise, it cannot exceed one month at the latest, and even if you have a temporary residence permit, it cannot exceed half a year.
The land of the republic, inhabited only by the people of the republic!
This is Zhang Hongbin, at this moment, the ultimate goal set for himself. He didn't know how far he could go, but if he could, he would like to see such a world appear in front of him in his lifetime.
With the start of the army, Zhang Hongbin, who could not drive the expedition in person, was also bored to continue his daily life.
As a constitutional emperor, Zhang Hongbin is not so busy, so he accompanies the three little children to play almost every day. Go hunting today, swim tomorrow, and hike if the water temperature is too low. Occasionally, there is a warm family picnic in the sea of flowers.
Not only him, but also Zhang Lan, the son of the eldest brother Zhang Hongwen, and Zhang Chao, the son of the second brother Zhang Hongwu, were also in the accompanying team. However, the two cousins, who are obviously older than the three lower children, can't raise their heads in front of their cousins many times.
It often makes people sigh: "Who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother?" ”
Of course, the most talked about is: "He is worthy of being the son of the emperor's majesty, and he really has the style of a father!" ”
In fact, what this sentence really means: Daddy changes. state, and the children also change. state, people are more popular than dead people, and let people not live?!
The warm days have not passed for more than ten days, and the military reports on the front line have temporarily stopped such good days.
Why is it a military report and not a war report, just because the army has just entered Qinghai and is about to enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. There was no confrontation with the enemy at all, and even the shadow of the enemy had not yet been seen, so naturally there would be no battle report. But when it came to this, the military newspaper had to send one.
This is not a military report to report safety, but a report for help.
The reason is simple, isn't it? Even if many of the soldiers are from Shaanxi, they can be regarded as close to Qinghai and Tibet, but when they really get there, especially when they enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the plateau climate is not something that anyone can bear. Just a little later, many soldiers began to have a slight altitude sickness, and the military doctor quickly tested it, and there was no intention of letting the army continue to advance.
Yang Hong and Cao Bianjiao, who were in charge of the command, were also here with Zhang Hongbin early in the morning and had heard about the specific situation of altitude sickness. I didn't think so, but now I see that these soldiers have altitude sickness, and then I realize that this can't be treated sloppily.
Of course, it's not that anyone mentions yì, but it's just a few people, and most of the soldiers in the army have no problem, so don't you continue to move forward for a two-mile road?
This mention yì does not have a tong guò, at least not a full staff tong guò. Yang Hong personally rode his horse deep into the hinterland, but he came back with a very serious altitude sickness, and if it wasn't for the proper treatment by the military doctor, God knows what bad results would have happened.
With Yang Hong's lesson, everyone realized that this altitude sickness is effective for anyone who is not used to living in highland areas. Okay, what should I do, naturally I can only write a military newspaper, and then send it to Zhang Hongbin's imperial case.
Speaking of which, this is a bit cautious, implying that this battle is going to be nonsense, this is good, you have to give an idea!
As a result, this military newspaper came to Zhang Hongbin's imperial case, and all the people in the Congress subconsciously chose to forget about the storage of this military newspaper......
All right...... Zhang Hongbin looked at the military newspaper, and finally consulted the shopping guide to confirm that there was no special medicine to solve altitude sickness, but when there were drugs to speed up adaptation and alleviate altitude sickness, he bought a batch and sent it over. But according to the shopping guide, this drug only helps patients adapt to altitude sickness as soon as possible, but according to personal physical conditions, it takes about three days to a month to really adapt to altitude sickness.
In order to be safe, Zhang Hongbin said that the army should be stationed in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for a month, and receive medical treatment while practicing to ensure that every soldier can adapt to the plateau conditions before attacking.
Because of this order, the army had to stop marching and set up a large camp in the border area of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Every day at sunrise, all the soldiers are reorganized and trained under the unified military number. Starting with the very beginning of the exercise close to warm-up, it took 10 days for the relatively early military training to begin, and after 20 days, it was basically possible to carry out regular military training.
A month later, the soldiers of the battalion had fully adapted to the altitude climate and were no longer afraid of altitude sickness, so they began to assemble and set off again.
And the camp they stayed behind was not Lang fee. With the arrival of the second batch of baggage troops, it became one of the baggage distribution points. Originally, it was a semi-regular military unit, but it was far from the front line, and perhaps the soldiers had their own needs, and some merchants saw this.
So he drove the carriage and brought some gadgets over, as long as he didn't drink, it was basically no problem to eat some snacks and drink coarse tea.
With a snack bar, it is natural that the old industry that has been operating for thousands of years - Qinglou is indispensable. Of course, you can't build a building in the wilderness, but the old bustard brought more than a dozen tender red men to play a little song to entertain the public, and more in a small tent set up urgently...... What's that......
I don't know when, some herdsmen from Mongolia or other regions began to come here, either to stay for a while, or to really settle here. In the beginning, the camp was also set up here because of its proximity to the river, so from the beginning, it had the potential to become a small village or even a small town.
No one knows, when the soldiers who went to clear out the Us** elements will return here along the road they came.
This is not just a baggage distribution center, it is already a popular town. There are at least 30,000 people living here, including Mongolians, Tibetans, Xinjiang people, and of course Han Chinese. The Han people do not deny that they all come here to do business, of course, there are also those who plan to come here to graze and farm, and live a semi-secluded life, such as many disheartened literati and ink writers who like to play this.
Although there are no city walls, there are more than fifty armed soldiers at the outpost here, but there is no need to worry about who dares to come and find fault.
Although there is no government, military control measures have always been used here, and if there is any problem, the prefect of the post will be consulted to adjudicate.
As a result, the prefect of the outpost did not know when, and became no different from the mayor of the town.
In the end, he was also warmed up by his comrades who returned triumphantly, but he didn't want him to really like it here, and he was demobilized and became the mayor of this town not long after. And such a border town can be regarded as officially beginning to develop.
Since it is a small town, it naturally has to have a name.
The mayor said, "This is the camp I served in when I was a soldier, so the name of this place is the camp!" ”
Since that time, the town of Qinghai Province has been quietly established......
