Chapter 853: Ancestral Glory (3)
In two days, Yang Meng also listened to some characteristics of Chinese architecture from the mouths of the officials of the office.
I have to say that the timing of Yang Meng's question is very appropriate, and there is a great conflict between Chinese architecture and Yang Meng's concept, that is, the consumption of wood.
Whether it is a brick and stone structure or a brick and wood structure, Chinese architecture consumes a lot of wood, and Yang Meng also has the intention to build some new residential areas across the country, and the huge wood consumption is still quite a big threat to the environment.
Grass and forest these things, different from mineral stones, mineral stone mining, although the trouble is not small, but still can not compare to the destruction of the forest, when I first arrived in Yunnan, a large number of fertile fields were destroyed by mountain floods, one of the reasons is soil erosion, the most important reason for soil erosion, is not the destruction of the forest?
The demand for wood is too great for the construction of a large number of dwellings, and the soil used to burn bricks and tiles can be solved by dredging, but the wood comes from trees and forests, which is not very easy to solve.
In two days, the only practical thing Yang Meng did was to propose a reinforced concrete structure and cement prefabricated floor slabs, columns and beams.
Architecture, is a good thing accumulated in China for 5,000 years, has its advantages and disadvantages, throughout the later generations, serious Chinese architecture is not very much, this is the so-called cultural invasion, total westernization, this is not a benefit.
In the Rehe Palace, during the two-day tour, Yang Meng also saw the depth of the combination of architecture and Confucian culture. Inherit the things of the ancestors. In addition to blood, there is culture. In the future, all over the world, there will be Chinese architecture, which is not the inheritance of the glory of the ancestors!
Armed aggression is simple and brutal, and with the development of firearms and the opening of people's wisdom, this kind of aggressive method will be slowly abandoned, and the foreign religion pursues the questioning aggression. is the best way to assimilate, and in this regard, Confucianism is undoubtedly a failure.
From the architectural level culture, by the culture and the inheritance of a country, in the past two days, Yang Meng seems to be not doing his job, but he also understands some truths through the combination of Confucianism and architecture. Now it has also become a favorable weapon to throw into the cultural battlefield.
Cultural aggression seems unstoppable, but the real condition that determines whether culture can be accepted by the world is incomparably strong national strength. Without the support of national strength, no matter how good the culture is, it is out of date.
With the support of strong national strength, even if there are many drawbacks in this culture, it will be slowly popularized and corrected.
Now it seems that if you want to turn cultural aggression from a small road into an avenue, whether the national strength is strong or not is a very key factor, when it comes to national strength, when it comes to the national strength of the Qing Dynasty, we have to talk about Tsarist Russia, it seems that it is difficult to bypass this pass of Tsarist Russia, and if Tsarist Russia is not overthrown, the future country will encounter a powerful enemy on land.
Only when the local area is stable, can we get involved in the world, and we must first settle inside the outside, which is very good at this time!
In two days, Yang Meng's determination to overthrow Tsarist Russia was strengthened, the northern resources are very rich, with the resource support of Tsarist Russia's northern territory, even if it is an enemy of the world, it is not an impossible thing, and in the next few decades, resources are king!
Yang Meng, who returned to the palace hall, still had a light expression on his face, but the Mongolian kings in the hall had a lot of eager expressions on their faces.
And what Yang Meng wants is their thirst, there is demand to have motivation, there is no motivation to do things, it is difficult to have persistence, the war with Tsarist Russia, it will last for a long time, and the future to inherit the anger of Tsarist Russia is the new country established by the Mongol kings, the barren land in the north, Tsarist Russia may not pay too much attention, but in the heartland, they are impossible to give up, the fault is not the fall of the Tsar.
"Guys, have you thought about it?"
"Grandpa, when will Mongolia send troops?"
"Oh...... When you get back, you can send troops! ”
It was still Turghat Khan who spoke, and after hearing the news of the immediate dispatch of troops, Turghat Khan's face was not happy, but more worried.
"Do you have any problems with Turghut Khan?"
Seeing the embarrassment on Turghut Khan's face, Yang Meng also frowned, could it be that he had ignored something?
"Grandpa, although it is the height of summer, it takes a long time to recruit and train troops, and when Mongolia sends troops, I am afraid that it will be winter, and the winter in the north is very cold, and it is impossible to use troops in winter.
Against the sky, no matter how many military horses there are, they are no opponent! ”
Mongolia is already a very cold place, and the imperial court let Mongolia send troops in the middle of winter, which is not good news, is it a pretense to fight Tsarist Russia, and the imperial court is still dealing with Mongolia?
"Man conquers heaven! On the Mongolian side, there is no way to fight in winter? ”
As soon as Yang Meng listened to Turghut Khan's explanation, he also understood a lot in his heart, in the winter of Mongolia, the temperature is afraid that it is thirty or forty degrees below zero, not to mention people, horses can be frozen to death, and it is indeed very difficult to start a war in winter.
But for Tsarist Russia, Yang Meng didn't want to give them any respite, even in the middle of winter, the pressure on Tsarist Russia in the northwest and north could not be reduced by a single point, so that Tsarist Russia could be dragged down in a short period of time, otherwise it would only be half a year to fight, and Tsarist Russia would not be able to be won in ten or twenty years.
"Nope! In winter, Mongolia is looking for a sheltered cat, and even in a tent with a brazier, it will freeze to death! ”
After listening to Yang Meng's question, Turhut Khan's side was also relieved, it seems that this Zhenguo Gong doesn't understand the weather in Mongolia! Mongolia's winter is so difficult, and further north, fighting in winter, is looking for death!
"I'm afraid there are a lot of difficulties! But winter combat is a must, let's find a way to solve it! ”
"But ......"
"There is nothing to say, Tsarist Russia is strong, you also know very well, after the war, Tsarist Russia must not be given any respite, in order to seize the northern territory of Tsarist Russia, my father also did some homework, and now it seems that it is not very sufficient, let's hurry up during this time, we must send troops to the north of Tsarist Russia this winter!"
Yang Meng thought of the method of down jackets before, raising ducks in the rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River, which Yang Meng had instructed before, the clothes were not enough, combined with the understanding of the building in the past two days, Yang Meng thought of radiators and floor heating.
These things can be borrowed and modified, and there are many northern forests in Tsarist Russia, which means that there is no shortage of heating materials, clothing, and heating methods, and it is not impossible to rotate operations.
"Grandpa, send troops in a hurry, it's hard to fight in the middle of winter......"
Turhut Khan, now undoubtedly the mouthpiece of the Mongol kings, he plays like this, it is likely to ruin Yang Meng's big thing, his face sank, and he blocked Turghat Khan's explanation with a cold eye, and the next thing is to solve the heating problem.
Yang Meng didn't want the Mongol army, without going to war, he was frozen to death on the tundra in the north, and now it seems that it is time to take the wisdom of the people, and sometimes the local method is also useful.
"Don't say more, you go back to sort out the army, horses, guns and heating methods first, and my father will give it to you in a month or two, if there is no way to resist the cold, my father will not let Mongolia send troops lightly!"
Our purpose is the same, let the Mongolian iron horse die in vain, the Qing Dynasty does not have such a big family business, you just have to rest assured, leave dozens of people, follow the emperor's car to the three eastern provinces, perhaps, when you come back from the three eastern provinces, this duke will have a way to resist the middle of winter.
Think about the Great Yuan back then! Now is the time to make meritorious achievements and restore the glory of your ancestors, and this battle has become Genghis Khan of Mongolia!
Let's disperse! After meeting the emperor tomorrow, he will go back to reorganize the army, and during this period of time in Inner and Outer Mongolia, he must focus on the construction of the grassland railway, and strive to let the railway be built to the junction of Outer Mongolia and Tsarist Russia when the troops are dispatched! ”
Fighting abroad, he encountered big trouble in the sky, Yang Meng's heart was also a little irritable, although he already had a back hand, but whether these back hands were useful or not, he had to try to talk about it.
Back at the residence, Yang Meng sorted out his thoughts, cotton clothes and pants are still okay in the north, but they can't be in the far north, boots Mongolia and the three eastern provinces have ready-made felt boots, this doesn't have to worry about Yang Meng, now Yang Meng wants to do down clothes and pants, and there are heating facilities that can ensure the temperature in the house.
For the cold winter of Mongolia, Yang Meng also heard some from the entourage of the Mongolian kings, in the middle of winter, in the face of wind and snow, even in the tent, the brazier is lit, the chest is hot and the back is cold, if you sleep, it is very likely to be frozen to death, and the heating facilities that can surround the barracks are necessary for soldiers in winter.
With pertinence, things are much easier to do, Daqing is a big place, there should be a way to solve the heating facilities, the rest is Yang Meng's down jacket, this thing, even if it is thick, the weight is much lighter than cotton clothes, there is no cloth that can resist the wind, and a layer of sheepskin can be added outside, and the rubberized rainproof cloth should also be possible.
"Someone, send a report to Ding Taichen in Guangzhou, and ask him to prepare these things on the paper within a month, and Lao Tzu is waiting for his men and horses to arrive in the three eastern provinces!"
The solution Yang Meng gave a rough idea, and then it depends on the efficiency of the Yang family, if these problems can be solved within a month, then you can march into Tsarist Russia from the north, if not, the war in the northwest will also stop.
In a few months, it is almost impossible to capture the northern territory of Tsarist Russia, and no matter how well it is fought in summer, it will have to be retreated in winter, and it will be interesting if this battle is not fought. (To be continued......)
