Chapter 316: Preparations for War (I)

Yang Meng talked about business, but he was even more of a big mouth, Wei Wusan, who was embarrassed, was not embarrassed, it turned out that he had just talked about it, but in the eyes of Yang Sanye, it was just some trivial things!

"As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and the war in southern Xinjiang is a big problem!

None of us can predict the scale of the war, and we have to watch as we fight!

The war of tens of millions of people for several months can still barely be supported with the strength of western Yunnan, but once the scale of the war continues to expand and prolong, it will be a little inadequate to support the soldiers in southern Xinjiang with western Yunnan alone.

In order to ensure the supply of the army on the front line, building roads is the first priority! ”

For the war in southern Xinjiang, Yang Meng also paid unprecedented attention, whether it was Pingyunxi or Pingchuanxi, before the war, there would be no talk about the issue of road construction, this talk, everyone present, the expression on their faces was also solemn.

"Third master, isn't it a temptation?"

The internal instability and the war on the frontier are definitely not a good thing for the Yang family, although Wei Wu has no knowledge of the scale of the war, but he understands the meaning of Yang Meng's words.

stabbed the hornet's nest in southern Xinjiang, not as Yang Meng said, come and go as soon as you want, the Yang family can use the subject country of the Qing Dynasty, can't foreign devils do this? Once the situation is reversed, then the problem is big.

Although the mountains in southern Xinjiang are vertical and horizontal, it is by no means a moat, and once the war continues in southern Xinjiang, the harm to the Yang family is also fatal.

"It's a temptation! But the result of the temptation is not something we can predict, don't forget Yunyan. This thing is a source of right and wrong.

Once the battle of temptation. We're defeated. If Britain and France are not good, they will march in a big way, and it is not a trivial matter to start a war, and we must prepare for the worst before! ”

The root cause of the change in southern Xinjiang is very clear to Yang Meng, in addition to wanting to enter the Qing Dynasty, Yunyan is definitely something coveted by the two great powers of Britain and France, and this thing is definitely a weapon of plunder. From the name to the road, Yang Meng didn't believe that the powers didn't know the origin of the clouds.

The expedition of hundreds of people is here for something, who is behind them, without intelligence, Yang Meng can get a rough idea.

In the past two years, the output of cloud smoke has become larger and larger, and this period of time is enough for the powers of various countries to recognize cloud smoke, an empire that is about to decline, holding such a sharp weapon to collect money. It's definitely a sin!

Although the Qing Dynasty is decadent, the tiger is still there. It's not that the great powers haven't suffered the losses of the Qing Dynasty, Britain and France really haven't suffered them, but the northern Oros have suffered the blood losses of the Qing Dynasty, and Nebuchu is the sad place of the Oros.

The first war more than 100 years ago, the rest of the prestige has continued to this day, has come to an end, the Gengzi War is a temptation of England, the Qing Dynasty military is lax, it is an indisputable fact, but hundreds of thousands of standing soldiers, is still the existence of Britain and France.

From the Yangtze River channel directly into Yunnan, Britain and France did not have the courage, but England, which was backed by India, was absolutely confident of starting a war in the southwest of the Qing Dynasty.

This time I went to western Yunnan, and I just wanted to slap him in the face for Yang Meng, but the most important enemy was Yingli, who had more than 1,000 troops stationed in the United States!

Trying to test the combat strength of the British army is also an extremely dangerous thing for Yang Meng, but the new army in Yunnan needs actual combat, and the expansion of Yunnan also needs actual combat, and so on is not a way, the Qing Dynasty will still be chaotic now, and the civil war is not a good choice, and it has become the only choice to attack the English entrenched in southern Yunnan and southern Tibet.

After subduing England, Yunnan had the opportunity to introduce more things, the empire of the sun never set entrenched in the Indian Ocean, absolutely had the strength to blockade the Qing Dynasty from the sea, and Millikan, which had a close relationship with Yunnan, was now much worse than the European powers, and now Milliken could only be regarded as a raw material source for the European powers.

The status of Omi is not on an equal footing now, the full opening of the European sea route is of great significance to Yunnan, at sea, Yunnan has no advantage at all, in order to let the English sit opposite him, Yang Meng can only start from the land.

Showing Yunnan's war strength and potential is what Yang Meng wants to do, so that the European and American powers only dare to covet the clouds and smoke, and dare not start, is Yang Meng's ultimate goal, as for who to expel him? Defeat whom? Now Yunnan doesn't have that confidence!

However, Yang Meng still has the ability to become their henchmen, as long as the great powers throw a mouse trap, they can open the sea route to Europe, starting from the port of Haiphong in Annam, as long as this door is opened, Yunnan can usher in an era of great development.

"Victory or defeat is unpredictable, the third master still has to be cautious!"

The major events of the country and the murder of the country! Starting a war is just a matter of one sentence, but the result is unpredictable! Wei Wu roughly estimated the scale of the war according to Yang Meng's meaning, and was startled when he didn't know how to do it, although the Yang family had sufficient soldiers, but the cost of a large-scale war was also an extremely heavy burden for the Yang family.

A few people present, Wei Wu has such a vision and forward-looking, although Wei Wu is old, his vision is still there, and the eyes of the high-level are to lock on the overall situation, and the war in southern Xinjiang will not affect the western part of Yunnan, but the overall situation of the Yang family.

If you are a little careless, it will attract the attention of the imperial court, and if you are enemies on both sides, it is only a matter of time before Yunnan is defeated.

"I have to! Everyone has touched our doorstep, not only do we want to test the powers, but the powers are also testing us!

If we are silent, they will be unscrupulous, and instead of starting a war at home, it is better to lead the war abroad! ”

The temptation has never been one-sided, the 1,500 troops of England, and the expedition of a few hundred people, are not the temptations of the Qing court and the origin of Yunyan?

Although the number of Fabaxi is not large, it is also a temptation! Once Yunnan is timid, once the Great Qing is timid, the raging warships will sweep the coasts of the subject countries in southern Xinjiang, and with the combat effectiveness of those subject countries, the country will be ruined and destroyed, just a matter of blink of an eye.

When these two countries have established a stable forward position on the southeast peninsula, they will take action. It's a little late!

"But the court also has to guard against it! Internal problems are more important than external problems. Our strength is too strong. For the imperial court, it is a greater threat than the great powers, and we have no chance of winning against the enemy on both sides! ”

The Qing Dynasty is still a high mountain, and the more it can't go over, the more it will be harmful to the Yang family to start a war, and this problem is the real problem.

"Raise bandits with self-respect! I don't plan to use the three towns of the Green Camp in western Yunnan, but I want to form another army, called the Blue Banner Army. Go straight to the United States and Serbia to fight against Britain and France, and what we have to do is to watch this big drama on the side of the country!

The British and French powers naturally knew who this Blue Flag Army was, and as for the imperial court, they were afraid that they would be blind when they saw it! Meisai is abroad, does the imperial court have the ability to take care of him? ”

The Manchu court, as Yang Meng said before, followed him to benefit the development of Yunnan, but sometimes, he was also an obstacle to the development of Yunnan. The current imperial court, for Yunnan. The benefits still outweigh the disadvantages, and once the day comes when the disadvantages outweigh the benefits, it will be the time for Yang Meng to erase the Manchu Qing.

"The third master is high, Wei Wu is not as good!

In the name of the Blue Flag Army, foreign wars, victory is ours, defeat is the Qing Dynasty, once Britain and France are defeated, will inevitably put pressure on the imperial court, when the time comes, you, the chief soldier of Heli Town and Pu'er Town, will have a place to use, in the name of the imperial court to subdue the four major vassals, there are vassals inside, there are blue flag troops and the green battalion soldiers of the three towns of western Yunnan, if you want to stand in the southern Xinjiang, it will become extremely difficult!

There is another point, the third master first leveled the west of Yunnan, and then leveled Duokang, this time and overseas, among the generals of the imperial court, there are very few who are comparable to the third master, once the court changes, the third master is definitely the vanguard of quelling the chaos.

With supreme martial arts, then we will have a reason to forcibly occupy the territory, and take advantage of the chaos to coerce the court to encroach on the court, and great things can be expected!

Imperial obscurity, fixed feudal states, robbing military merits, and seeking the overall situation, the strategy of killing four birds with one stone is extremely clever! ”

Yang Meng's strategy, after Wei Wu's analysis, not only everyone here, but also Yang Meng himself has a clear idea, some things are roughly like this, as for the deeper considerations, Yang Meng is also a little confused.

After Wei Wu's analysis, Yang Meng admired himself a little, this brain is definitely top-notch!

But this is a strategic preparatory meeting, not a sycophant conference, specific things, still have to be arranged, road construction, absolutely the top priority.

"That's it! Ji Ce said here, Taichen, what do you think about building roads? ”

Sometimes, things at the strategic level are just decorations, and what really plays a decisive role is the most basic thing, building roads, which is simple to say, but this thing is stumped by the emperors of more than a dozen dynasties, Yunnan road insurance, this is an indisputable fact, how to solve it, for the Yang family, it is not an easy matter.

"Taking western Yunnan as a starting point, gradually expanding to eastern Yunnan, opening roads and building bridges in the mountains, the soil medicine blasting method and the chain bridge that the third master said before can come in handy!"

Ding Taichen's statement is good, but it is still too slow for Yang Meng, opening mountains and paving bridges, often for months and years, and when the road is repaired and the battle is over, in case of defeat, isn't this Baba's opening to welcome the dog?

"No! Although this method is safe, but it takes too long, think again! ”

There are some things, Yang Meng can't always mention his subordinates, in that way, he will have more things to do, and he can't finish it if he is tired, so after they have an idea, he will click it again, which has the best effect.

"Then the two roads will be carried out at the same time, one road in the west of Yunnan and one road in the east of Yunnan, and they will dig separately, how about meeting in the middle of the road when the time comes?"

Walking all the way and going two ways, there are more things in it, and the soldiers are divided into two ways, but it is not just as simple as increasing the cost, the large number of strong men is mobilized, and the impact on other affairs in Yunnan is also huge.

"Still not, how about blooming everywhere? One road starts from Yanjin and all the way starts from Fushui, connecting the two roads with the two major waters of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River.

Surveys can be carried out slowly, starting with the necessary routes, and surveying the shortest routes as you build the necessary routes.

The grange and martial arts in various places are strong and strong, and our family is out of materials and money, and the old man will discuss it with Lin Laohu again, let's do things, and the court should also mean it, and it should not be an exaggeration to give the old man the position of governor of Yunnan, right? ”

Okay! As soon as they heard this, Wei Wu and the old man Yang Shiqin were happy, doing things for their own family, and asking the court to contribute money and efforts, and the third child calculated things to the bones.

"Slippery! No problem on my side! ”

Yang Shiqin nodded, but Wei Wu ran out and pulled his hind legs.

"Third master, the governor of this province is not so easy to do, the official system is a big problem, the old man is the governor of Yunnan, and the next one can't be an official in Yunnan."

This is the difference between a Manchu official and a Han official, a Manchu official sat in the position of governor for ten or twenty years, and some even sat until death, while a Han officer could be a man for three or five years.

"No matter what those do, grab the official hat first, and then say, if you sit on it and don't come down, what can the court do? Remove the old man from his post? Do you want Yunnan copper?

The imperial court withdrew the old man, so let's stop the copper salt in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and see if he has the guts? ”

Yang Meng said that this is to be coerced, once Yang Shiqin sits in the position of governor of Yunnan, if he wants to come down, it is not a matter of the imperial court, but a matter of the Yang family itself.

"This matter is feasible, let Mu Zhang'a make efforts, this official position in Yunnan may not be hereditary."

With the self-respect of Yunnan copper, as soon as Yunnan copper is revived, the court's deterrence of Yunnan will be much smaller, and the courtiers who seek status are Yang Shiqin's good helpers on the throne! (To be continued......)
