"Hmmm! The left mule's idea is good, and the war against Tsarist Russia is not in a hurry, just do as he says! ”

The official document of the left mule came to Yang Meng's hands, Yang Meng had no opinion on the left mule's first cut and then play, Yang Meng nodded, and the army listened to the left mule's order, Yang Meng did not nod, hundreds of thousands of Northwest Army, the left mule can call, but only a few thousand people, the left mule wants to use the army in his hand to succeed, it is not much easier to destroy Tsarist Russia.

"Third master, the left mule is cunning, do you want to send someone to check and balance?"

Xu Ziwei also has an opinion on the ministers of Yang Sanye's trust and respect for the court, and the Yang family has all the cultural relics, but it is not bad for the roles of Zuo Mule and Zeng Disheng.

"Checks and balances? It's not necessary, how about letting Zeng Disheng go to the northwest to partner with the left mule? ”

Balance the left mule, in Yang Meng's opinion, there is no need at all, the left mule wants to rebel, Yang Meng can make him a dead man with a word, Yang Meng is still quite confident in the control of the army, if the Northwest Army says the opposite, then he Yang Meng does not need to toss in Beijing, just go back to Yunnan to raise children and hold his wife.

"Third master, the chief heard me right, right? Send Zeng Disheng to the northwest? ”

Yang Meng's mention made Xu Ziwei difficult to accept, he didn't believe much in Xu Ziwei for the left mule, Zeng Disheng was even more so, in terms of influence, Zeng Disheng was far stronger than the left mule, once Zeng Disheng went to the northwest, is the surname of the Northwest Army Yang or Zeng Zuo?

"Not bad! It's Zeng Disheng! ”

Regarding Xu Ziwei's question, Yang Meng gave a definite answer, he didn't kill Xiangyong in the battle of Beijing and Tianjin last time, so it was better to kill in the northwest pit.

"Third master. Why? ”

Yang Meng's eyes. It's extremely long-term. Since Yang Sanye definitely pointed out Zeng Disheng, there must be a deep meaning, and it is better to ask clearly than to question.

"What's this! Geographically speaking, the northwest is too close to the center of Tsarist Russia, and it is difficult for us to make contributions in the northwest! The war over there, in the end, is likely to be a lose-lose outcome. Even if we can take advantage, the price we pay is very great, so before Lao Tzu wanted to use the people in Central Asia as cannon fodder for the war.

The war in the northwest, if you want to use strategy, it is almost impossible, one life for one life, it is the war in the northwest! The Northwest War was safe, whether it was Wei Huozi, Yu Biao or Shi Dakai, after arriving in the Northwest, they had no chance to play. The breakthrough point of the war against Tsarist Russia is in the northeast with Mongolia!

So strategically, it is enough to have a left mule in the northwest. Zeng Disheng was rigid in his use of troops, but in the northwest, this was the advantage, and he needed such a rigid tactics to advance step by step.

In the war in the northwest, the number of dead and wounded is too large, such a black cauldron, our people can't carry it, whether it is the death and injury of the army or the massacre of the people of Tsarist Russia, these are all crimes!

For the people's cognition, Zeng Disheng only looked at the people of the Qing Dynasty, and the people of Tsarist Russia, in Zeng Disheng's eyes, were outliers, rebellious, and would not blink an eye if they killed many Zeng butchers, this is the reason why Zeng Disheng went to the northwest!

We are not good to participate too much in the chaos in the northwest, and Zuo Mule and Zeng Disheng have appeals on this, you are willing to buy and sell, isn't it? ”

A war with Tsarist Russia in the northwest and Central Asia, even if a large number of new troops was sent, it was a stalemate war, and Yang Meng's appeal in the northwest was not large, and he sought the territory of Tsarist Russia north of Mongolia.

"Third Master...... Since the breaking point is in the north, why use the Mongolian kings and devil six? Isn't it ......."

Since the army can make contributions in the north, Xu Ziwei also agreed with the strategy of Zeng Zuo entering the northwest, and he can transfer the military exploits in the north to the Mongolian kings and the Manchu prince, Devil Six, which is not good for the Yang family, unless the losses are great in the first battle!

"Hmmm! Your guess is almost the same, the initial war is a flesh and blood slaughterhouse, our weapons are more advanced, but the main firepower of both sides is rifles and sabers, without a certain number of casualties, it is impossible to occupy a large area of Tsarist Russia.

In addition, although it is now the height of summer, we can see that it is about to enter winter, and in the middle of winter, we have less than 100,000 Tibetan troops, which is not as good as the number of men and horses in Mongolia and the three eastern provinces.

Two or three years of war are enough to exhaust the manpower of the Mongolian kings and banner people, without these forces, there is no possibility for Manchu and Mongolia to turn the tables.

As for the several khans of Outer Mongolia, even if they do not die in the war, when the time comes, we will give them a territory in Siberia that far exceeds their current territory, and it is better to use them as a barrier than to have a hard fight with Tsarist Russia!

In doing so, you are seeking the future, not the present, maybe you don't know, but in this matter, don't question it anymore! ”

The war between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia, Yang Meng was initially set on a war of attrition, and it was impossible to easily take the Siberian territory of Tsarist Russia without tens of millions of casualties.

Although in terms of ordnance, Yang Meng's arsenal is ahead of Tsarist Russia by an era, but these ordnance are all attached to today's industrial level, Yang Meng can be manufactured, Tsarist Russia can also imitate it, whether it is a rear-loading gun, rocket artillery or a repeating rifle, as long as there is a finished product, these can be imitated.

Secrecy, in the war, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, as long as Tsarist Russia has such a seizure, there will soon be such ordnance on the battlefield, although the industrial level of Tsarist Russia is not high, but compared with the Qing Dynasty, there are still certain advantages.

First use the number of troops to drag down the domestic economy of Tsarist Russia, let the industrial capacity of Tsarist Russia be destroyed in the war, and finally let the new army with the most advanced weapons to give Tsarist Russia a fatal blow, which is the foundation of winning the war.

With the support of Britain, France or European countries, in terms of industrial capacity, the Qing Dynasty is far inferior to Tsarist Russia, there is no certain amount of consumption, and there is no door to bring down the polar bears in the future!

"What does the third master want to use, but the subject barrier?"

After listening to Yang Meng's reply, Xu Ziwei was silent for a while. Some of them asked hesitantly.

"What do you think?"

Yang Meng directly affirmed Xu Ziwei's idea. On the premise of occupying most of the territory of Tsarist Russia. It is extremely disadvantageous to directly border with Tsarist Russia, and to divide some of the territory of Tsarist Russia to the Mongol kings and build a buffer zone is the best explanation for future generations. No matter how many people are killed in this battle, it is impossible to exterminate the population of Tsarist Russia.

"That is, you want to keep Tsarist Russia?"

"Almost! To destroy Tsarist Russia, we have paid too much, and we will have to confront Europe in the future, we have the ability to defeat most of the territory of Tsarist Russia, and we will have some strength to destroy Tsarist Russia!

If Germany in Europe wants to rise, it is bound to go to war with Tsarist Russia, and the territory of Tsarist Russia that we have destroyed is dispensable, and the real core of Tsarist Russia is in Europe. As long as Germany and Tsarist Russia are opposed, the hatred between us will become dispensable.

This time after the war with Tsarist Russia. England will inevitably retreat, the retreat of Britain and France, the future German aggression, these hatreds, most of these hatreds will be attributed to Europe, they fight to the death, let's sit back and watch the play, isn't this good? ”

According to the future form, Yang Meng made a prediction about the future situation in Europe, after defeating Europe, he will have to find a way to split Millican, such a superpower, Yang Meng will not let him establish, for overseas territories, the neighbor Japan also has some demands, in the future to support small Japan to Millican, it should be a good choice.

"The third master is clever, in this way, we can sit back and relax!"

After discussing with Cen Yuying and Li Xiucheng, Xu Ziwei also agreed with Yang Meng's strategy.

"It's just a prob. The shipyards of the five countries in Guangzhou are very important, and whether some things can be done or not is not in Tsarist Russia, but in Europe and the United States!

All right! Now our focus is on war and food, the three of you coordinate the war with Tsarist Russia, Lao Tzu does the grain and the shipyards of the five countries, the big thing can not be done, just in the past four or five years, missed this opportunity, the road in the future may not be easy!

Commander, you come to arrange for Zeng Disheng's Xiang Yong, this Xiang Yong can't stay, the elders will not allow such a party to develop in the army, once in the army, there are signs of the party, whether it is good or bad, it must be strangled!

The army is the army, obeying the will of the state, and any move that wants to disrupt the army must be stifled! ”

Now at this time, there are some things that can be revealed to Xu Ziwei and others, compared with the war, the role of the shipyards of the five countries is greater, and the role of the army is greater than that of officials, even if the Yang family does not participate in political affairs in the future, the army still has to be controlled.

After saying this, Yang Meng left the signing room, Zeng Disheng must come to visit in a few days, there are some things, Yang Meng must also prepare in advance.

got the holy decree to be transferred to the northwest with Xiang Yong, Zeng Disheng's heart was cold, could it be that this Yang Laosan was going to be in chaos?

But in today's situation, it is difficult for Zeng Disheng to make any resistance, and after thinking about it for a night, Zeng Disheng left his ninth brother to control Xiangyong in Jinkou, and went straight to Beijing alone.

"Third master, the governor of Zhili, Zeng Disheng, greets!"

"Oh...... It came very quickly, I thought it would take two days to wait, let him in! ”

In the past, Zeng Disheng's visit could only be regarded as a visit, but now, it can only be a visit, and if he wants to hold his head high under the general trend, he is looking for death.

"Disheng greets Grandpa!"

"Hmmm! But for the sake of the Northwest? The war in the northwest is important, you Zeng Disheng is a safe person, although Zuo Jigao is good at fighting, but in the word safe, he is still a little worse, this time he went to the northwest to supervise the war, Zuo Ji's senior management war, you Zeng Disheng is in charge of the overall situation.

Before leaving, I will give you eight words, the subject country is a fence, and the rise and fall are extinct! If it's all right, go ahead! ”

The Battle of the Northwest can be regarded as the last flash in the pan of the Qing Dynasty scholars, the literati supervised the army and the literati war, and there will be no more after that, the army is a weapon for killing, and the one who controls the army to fight should still belong to the generals.

"Grandpa, Disheng still has something to say!"

From the early years, Yang Laosan bowed his head, and now he visits Yang Laosan, but it has only been a few years, and now Yang Laosan has the prestige of the superior, I am afraid that the national Zuo of the Qing Dynasty has only been in the past few years.

"Got something to say? If it is a war in the northwest, it will be spared, if it is a major event of the imperial court, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

The war in the northwest, Yang Meng's side has already made a plan, it is necessary to put down Tsarist Russia, Yang Meng will not listen to the exhortations in the war, and now the status of the two has changed, although Zeng Disheng is still somewhat useful, but it is not impossible to change people, if Zeng Disheng does not know each other, some people want to occupy his place.

"What Disheng wants to say is the important event of the imperial court, grandpa, I don't know the national glory of the Qing Dynasty, and how much is there?"

There is no temptation, and there is no euphemism, Zeng Disheng looked directly at Yang Laosan, and directly asked the most sensitive topic, ambition is a thing, there is no need to leak out, now Yang Laosan's status determines his ambition, he does better than the imperial court, and now the imperial court is Yang Laosan's puppet, saying that nothing else is superfluous!
