Chapter 856: The wisdom of the people is boundless
Although the armies of the three eastern provinces are distributed throughout the northeast, there are still tens of thousands of horses around Fengtian, and it is not difficult to find people from the Oroqen, Hezhe, and Evenki tribes.
But the people in the army are all hairy boys, and they have no hunting experience, Yang Meng, who came to the barracks with joy, saw the hairy boys in this water, and his face immediately fell.
It's not that Yang Meng doesn't trust them, but Lin Haixueyuan's survival experience needs years of accumulation, how much experience can these little calves have, if they are allowed to train, I am afraid that the 500,000 troops of the three eastern provinces will be buried in the cold of the north.
"Third brother, there's no hurry about this, it just so happens that the young people of these three clans are here, let them go to the clan and find some experienced veterans!"
Seeing that Yang Laosan was a little pale, after looking at the hairy young man of the three clans, the devil also knew what the problem was, this hunting ground is similar to officialdom, experience and experience are very important, elite hunters, the youngest is also in their thirties, the best hunters, most of them are about forty years old, these eighteen, nineteen or twenty-year-old hairy boys, scaring people are still good, they really want to play tricks, they are far behind.
"The more the merrier! It is said that there are many swamps, tundra, and frozen land in the north of Tsarist Russia, and after the heavy snow in winter, how to survive in these places, and directly let these little cubs bring back to the clan.
Now that you have a goal, these snowshoes, skates, sleds, and climbing plows are also arranged to be man-made! Now it is not yet the time of the autumn harvest, the people and the army of the three eastern provinces. All joined. Supplies for the winter war. I'm not afraid of too many reserves, I'm afraid that the number is insufficient, just taking advantage of His Majesty here, the prince also wants to cheer up the hearts of the people in the three eastern provinces!
In this northern expedition to Tsarist Russia, dead people are indispensable, and thousands of difficulties and dangers have been carried over, which is glory and wealth!
Also, didn't Hezhe have clansmen in Tsarist Russia? Let them explore the way. If it is possible, the army and the people will be thrown directly into the mountains and forests to open the way for the northern expedition in advance! ”
With a fiery heart, but was poured a scoop of cold water, Yang Meng almost couldn't control his anger, the matter of the winter war, these days have become his heart disease, don't get rid of it!
"Third brother, don't be in such a hurry, right?"
Listening to Yang Laosan's words, Devil Six also frowned slightly. It's not because of Yang Laosan's commanding attitude, but because Yang Laosan doesn't spare the people's power at all! These three eastern provinces were the self-reserved land of the Qing Dynasty. There are the most flag people, and the life of ordinary flag people is stronger than that of the Han people in the Central Plains.
"Urgent? In another three or four months, this snow will fall, and it will be impossible to change this winter's battle in Tsarist Russia, and whether it is properly prepared or not, the new Eight Banners of the three eastern provinces must enter the territory of Tsarist Russia this winter.
If the prince wants to spare the people's strength, just take his time, and on the side of the Mongolian princes, His Majesty has a holy decree, that is, to use the dead to pave, and also to pave a road to the territory of Tsarist Russia.
If the prince doesn't want to, an army of 500,000 will pave the road in the deep mountains and old forests, so don't spare the people's strength!
On the Mongolian side, the 200,000 troops on the outskirts of Beijing have been stationed, and when it comes to the day of sending troops, the Mongolian kings will not move, and they will all be killed from the prince to the soldiers.
Although His Majesty is now dedicated to cultivating, he still cares very much about the fortunes of the country, the emperor's eyes are not in China's fortunes, the cultivation is not successful, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty has the final say, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the emperor will not distinguish between the Manchurian and the Han! ”
Yang Meng is also telling the truth, once everything is ready, Yang Meng will issue a holy decree to send troops, if you don't leave, then wait for death! The Mongol kings and the new Eight Banners, Yang Meng originally wanted to be killed in the war, if they didn't comply, Yang Meng didn't mind letting the new army pick up the butcher's knife.
"Third brother, you still have to be more admonished by the emperor's side, such a holy decree is unpopular!"
Devil Liu also believed this, his imperial brother, after going through great difficulties, his heart changed greatly and his heart was unpredictable, and it was not impossible to make such a decision.
"Exhortation? Those Taoist priests are better than Yang Laozi, and now there are eighteen Taoist priests around the emperor, and Lao Tzu doesn't even have a chance to move those Taoist priests, so let's do it! If those few Taoist priests are really a disaster to the country, it is not too late to get rid of them, and now they still have to take the emperor's mind as the main thing! ”
These words, Yang Meng said half-truths and half-truths, with a bitter face, and the devil six did not doubt him, so he could only do it.
Yang Meng spent half a month in the palace of Liudu, preparing for the war against Russia, every day is extremely precious, Mongolian soldiers and Eight Banner soldiers, playing for a day to enter Russia, Yang Meng's steps will be delayed for a day, the northwest side is still not up and down the situation, once the winter war can not be carried out, the northwest side still has to take a picture of the position and defense line.
Fortunately, Ding Taichen's side was strong, and in more than 20 days, a team of new troops arrived in Mukden with more than 100 sets of down jackets and drawings of the Earth Fire Dragon.
The sheepskin is the face, the cotton cloth is the lining, the silk is the lining, and the down jacket is filled with duck feathers and goose feathers. The three-finger thick down jacket, all the way to change cars and boats, are undergoing experiments, the cabins, carriages are full of ice, more than a dozen new soldiers, all the way is wearing down jackets lying in the ice, arrived at Shanhaiguan, although the test time is only five or six days, but this object designed by Yang Sanye is still extremely warm.
Yang Meng thought that in the process of flushing, Ding Taichen's side would encounter trouble, but he didn't expect that people had their own clever plan, to grind the duck down, goose down and those feathers together, soak it with water, fill it in the silk lining, sew it and dry it.
Although there are not many goose feathers and duck feathers that can make zuò down jackets in the near future, the sheepskin cotton robes can still be made in large quantities in the south of the Yangtze River, and the wool produced in the West has also been used by Ding Taichen.
The earth fire dragon is a special product of Yunnan, the southwest is damp, and the drying of tobacco leaves is a big problem.
This thing is also simple, it is composed of an earthen stove and a chimney that surrounds the entire ground, and the heat can be perfectly dissipated throughout the house.
Even if there is no coal, killing a few old trees in the mountains is enough for a hundred and ten square meters of barracks for a winter, if you can find some shallow coal mines in the mountains, then this thing is perfect, Mongolian soldiers and Eight Banners soldiers, completely in the middle of winter, in the cold far north, all the way to build a simple barracks, all the way forward, after all, the new army into Russia will also take these roads.
Following the new army, there was also a letter from Ding Taichen, which said some experience in building rammed earth houses on the Tibetan side, and there was also the dispatch of 100 steam saws from the northwest and Guangzhou, and the methods of the northwest and Mongolia were also applicable to the three eastern provinces.
Ding Taichen came with good news here, and Oroqen also came with good news, one hundred and ten old hunters of the three clans drove a team of grass to fly, and when they arrived in Mukden, this grass flew on the grass, that is, multi-wheeled and lengthened carriages, this thing is a necessary tool for Oroqen people to walk in swamps.
Under the leadership of Yang Meng, the old hunters of the Oroqen, Hezhe, and Evenki tribes, after trying the down jackets, sheepskin cotton robes, and woolen pullovers sent by Ding Taichen from Jiangnan, nodded their heads in approval, with such a good thing, and then put on felt boots and stepped on snowshoes, it is also possible to brave the wind and snow in the cold for a short time, if the weather is mild and sunny, these clothes are enough to keep warm in the cold.
After trying the earth fire dragon, the old hunter of the three clans also stretched out his thumb, if this thing had been learned earlier, the people of the three clans would not have to find a sheltered place to live in a tent in the middle of winter, as long as they built a wooden house with a mezzanine, this thing was enough to withstand the cold of the harsh winter in the north.
The rammed earth houses on the Tibetan side, and the hot water and mud built by Shi Dakai have also been recognized by these old hunters, and with clothes, barracks, and transportation, the winter war in the north has become a foregone conclusion.
As old hunters who have experienced the extreme cold of the Northland, these people also have their own experience of surviving in the harsh winter, with these things of Yang Meng, the old hunters of the three clans only took out the magic weapon of survival and self-protection in the cold of grease and spirits.
These old hunters of the three clans, as well as a few with rich experience in using guns, these things got together and contributed to the winter war that followed.
"Lord Wang, the wisdom of the people is boundless! These things are all things from the folk, with these things, is the prince still worried about the winter war?
Now that there is a way, the three eastern provinces will be able to idle a lot of manpower, so the prince will try his best to mobilize them to open mountains and build roads!
Half of the old hunters of these three tribes stayed in the three eastern provinces to train the New Eight Banners, and half were sent to Mongolia to train Mongolian soldiers, and two and a half months later, Mongolia and the army of the New Eight Banners marched together and marched into Tsarist Russia! ”
The most basic survival materials, Yang Meng provided, guns Yang Meng also provided, the next thing, it has nothing to do with him Yang Meng, whether it is the Mongolian soldiers or the Eight Banners soldiers, there are new armies in the zài, they can handle the strategy and tactics themselves, fight well, these two armies don't need to be cannon fodder, if they don't fight well, it's just cannon fodder!
"If there is no third brother, this winter war, I'm afraid it will be in vain!"
"Huh...... This has nothing to do with me, the wisdom of the people is boundless! Now that there is a method of winter warfare here, it is time for the royal driver to return to Beijing, what will happen to the future of the Qing Dynasty, the prince will take responsibility! (To be continued......)
