On the Yellow Sea, three ironclad ships of more than 7,000 tons split the waves with arrows in the blue water, and the battle between the Jianghuai and the Yangtze River really shocked many people. Whether the Ming army in South Asia was unfought, or whether this wave of peasants-turned-rebels fought was too amazing. These are all new topics that military experts in this world need to focus on discussing. The newspapers of the Imperial Army evaluated the Republican Army with only a few simple words: "Diao people, ignorant and instigated, not afraid of death, strong firepower, and frenzied crowd tactics." ”

The comments from these newspapers were thrown in front of Ren Di's desk, and Ren Di laughed, which was obviously a layman's remark about the combat effectiveness of the modern army by officers under the strict hierarchy. The evaluation of the enemy army in the self-summary of the Huaibei Red Republican Army is stiff and the upper and lower levels are not properly coordinated. The lack of adequate fire coverage of the soldiers resulted in the front-line soldiers not being able to receive organized fire support when they needed it most. In short, the officers were too superstitious about the class system and were slow to respond to the needs of the soldiers. The weapon-only theory believes that the brutal use of firepower can achieve results, ignoring the role of human beings in operating firepower in war.

In this army in Huaibei, Ren Di corrected the attitude he thought he should have in that kind of army according to his understanding of the army before he crossed. Training and combat are strictly subordinate to ranks, adopting a democratic system in discussing issues and military life, and abiding by the norm that there is no right to speak without the right to investigate in the setting of combat plans. Therefore, the development of the entire army is to gradually integrate tactics with the cooperation of collective practice from top to bottom, and gradually become the army that can only fight in Ren Di's impression.

The entire army, everyone up and down, is rapidly learning about the war. If you want to talk about the ability of military commanders, maybe Ren Di is just qualified, but when it comes to understanding soldiers, Ren Di's attitude is a high score. The army is not a general, and the era of the general is unparalleled, Ren Di is very sad and has not experienced it. Firepower warfare is fought with the cooperation of an entire army, and the future direction of the development of the armed forces will inevitably develop in the direction of the full coordination of all arms of the armed forces in the direction of informationization.

This era was still in the era of Napoleonic artillery bombing, and the tactical thinking of infantry charging was outdated. In terms of army building, the Red Republican Army has pulled out a generational gap with all the armies in the world. However, the military experts of this world are still looking for answers in terms of equipment and military spirit and bravery. The direction is already wrong.

That is to say, the base area in northern Anhui is now too capable of fighting, which has caused the southward movement of the troops of the three imperial armies of the three imperial armies in the north to the south, 8# and 90,000 people, which have been affected. In order to remove the threat of the southern capital in the throat, the Ming Empire had great hopes for the northern army. The arms dealer of Hai Song was contacted on the spot. No, such an ironclad fleet is coming.

In this rippling sea, the 7,000-ton ironclad ship is deservedly powerful. The riveted steel body of the battleship, the center of the battleship curved backwards like a curved chimney, and the three turrets that rotated on the central axis of the hull. The design idea of Hai Song's battleship did not take a detour, and it was directly in accordance with the design idea of focusing on defense with all-heavy artillery and dreadnought. However, such a powerful fleet seems to be a bit embarrassing that the dragon-slaying skills have nowhere to be used, and the European ironclad ships of the same period are not enough in terms of tonnage and speed, fire and armor. No, at the New York base where the American Travelers are located, something powerful is being built in the shipyard of those guys.

In comparison, the two thousand-ton ironclad ships of the Ming Empire's North Sea Fleet were slightly shabby. The relationship between Hai Song and the Ming Dynasty began to be established in the last years of Chongzhen, and with the invasion of Donghu, the relationship between the Ming Empire continued to resist barbarism with strong strength. The alliance between the Ming and Hai Song was established from then on.

It would be wrong to say that Hai Song had no idea about the populated market of Daming. The first generation of senators, weighing the pros and cons, did not initiate a campaign of conquest against the Ming Dynasty. Because at the beginning of sixty years ago, the people of the Ming Empire did not regard Hai Song as a brotherly country, and the diplomacy was as equal as it is now. Rather, they regarded these people from overseas as barbarians, although they all spoke Chinese, but it was useless, and the upper echelons of the vassal states of Korea #Xian Japan and Vietnam at that time all used Chinese characters.

Although the Hai Song Dynasty brought wealth, the arrogance of the people of the Celestial Dynasty in the Ming Empire still regarded the Hai Song Dynasty as a citizen of Japan and the dynasty #Xian. Foreigners, to be exact. At that time, there were very few naturalized people in the Hai Song Dynasty, and the population of the Hai Song Dynasty itself was very small, although the fighting power was strong, but if it was forcibly entered into China, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction, and if it promoted social reform, it would be strongly resisted by the local forces. The Ming clan's clan didn't even bird the emperor for money. The entry of Hai Song into China will inevitably create a scene where a small clan dominates a large country. You could say that the Manchus could all rule China. The smart people of the Hai Song Dynasty knew that the Manchu Qing could dominate the big country because the Manchus were ruthless enough. The national character that supported the Han people's resistance was intimidated by brutality, and the national ideology in the budding literati was imprisoned by words. The rulers of the Hai Song Senate understood that the emperors in the Senate would never allow such a thing to happen.

Moreover, Hai Song himself also brought the social idea of freedom and equality, nationalism was developing, and the sober patriarch of Hai Song was afraid that he would bring advanced science and technology to push the mainland flat and finally fight the war of attrition in the War of Resistance against Japan, which was funny.

Of course, if we fight the local tyrants and divide the land, use the TG model to turn this war that the people of the Celestial Empire look like a "foreign" invasion into a class war, and directly set the target of the rebellion as the gentry, it can still be successful. But a large part of these Hai Song veterans who arrived from the future were very yearning for the decadent life of three wives and four concubines in feudal society. If you really want to engage in class warfare, the elders of the Hai Song Dynasty really can't bear this hardship.

Since the cost of the war was too great, the veterans of the Hai Song Dynasty who promoted the social revolution were reluctant to live with three wives and four concubines in the old society. Then let's not build on the soil of this feudal empire, the world is so big that it is fertile and rich, so Hai Song turned his attention to the expansion of the ocean after leasing the two islands of Hainan and Taiwan. In order to gain access to a sufficient population and market, the Hai Song decided to support a stable pro-Hai Song Ming government.

After several generations of comparison of productive forces, the wealth of the Hai Song Dynasty made the people of the Ming Dynasty let go of the all-encompassing pride of the Celestial Empire. began to recognize the fact that the Hai Song Dynasty, a country with a predominantly Han Chinese population, was not barbarian.

However, did Hai Song really give up his ambitions for the mainland? Sixty years have passed, the mainland's attitude towards the Hai Song Dynasty has changed, and the population of the Hai Song Dynasty has also grown to a considerable extent. All the patriarchs have one word - chasing the crown.

However, in the past 60 years, the Ming Dynasty has also changed, and the Ming Empire is not a Manchu Dynasty, always trying to guard against the Han people. The Ming Dynasty began to rise nationalism and empire#ism. The Ming army saw the fighting methods of the Hai and Song dynasties, and began to innovate with firearms and systems. Due to the gradual rise of the Ming Dynasty, Hai Song has not had the opportunity to reveal some of his thoughts about the Ming Dynasty for sixty years. And now the Ming Empire seems to be in a situation again, and it is very likely to fall into the situation of the Chongzhen period. The elders of the Hai Song Dynasty, who followed the strategy of their fathers, did not have the experience of their fathers growing up in later generations, and saw this Red Revolution as some kind of opportunity.

Uncompromising on the Tartars, usurping the throne by non-powerful ministers, unifying the armed forces, not paying tribute if they do not get along with their relatives, the Son of Heaven guarding the country and the Ming Dynasty, which has extremely orthodox means of winning the country, seems to be unable to do it.

Xiao Xuan, a side of a patriarchal family in Hai Song, among the more than 500 entrepreneurial veterans that year, there was a patriarch surnamed Xiao, who was able to be mediocre among many patriarchs, but his ability to spread seeds can be described as efficient. took eight wives, and the people were prosperous. Of course, this veteran surnamed Xiao is sixty years old, and it is estimated that it is also related to his uncontrolled life of men and women. After the Xiao family's eight rooms were ranked by seniority, several housemothers born in Qinglou naturally did not have the qualifications to inherit the position of the patriarch, and the child born to the daughter of a Jiangnan maritime merchant inherited the position of the patriarch. This vein is the descendant of the patriarch surnamed Xiao.

Xiao Xuan belongs to the people in the sixth room, although he does not have the position of patriarch, but he still belongs to the first-class nobles in the Hai Song Dynasty. Coupled with his excellent results in the naval academy, this 7,000-ton heavy patrol squadron with the flagship arrived at the sea of Dagelatin Prefecture under the command of Xiao Xuan.

The sea breeze blew Xiao Xuan's resolute face, Daming's ship approached, a group of officers wearing navy uniforms with sun and moon marks on their bodies, and the officers of the Ming Dynasty's Royal Navy boarded this powerful warship. The Xiao family not only has the position of the senator, but also the title of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing his classmates in the naval academy, Xiao Xuan showed a smile on his face, on naval training, the Ming Royal Navy and the Hai Song often have exchange students, the Ming Dynasty dominates the land power of East Asia, and the Hai Song Dynasty dominates the sea power of the ocean. However, in the early days of the expansion of the Hai Song Dynasty, it was very compelling to borrow the name of the Ming Royal Navy and negotiate with the white skins in the West. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Hai Song Dynasty hung the sun and moon flags many times. Similarly, Hai Song intervened in the navy of the Ming Empire. Personnel training, ship purchase, and Hai Song are all conscience prices. Not dead like army equipment. It seems that Hai Song helped the Ming Empire raise a navy in vain, but this business is doing well. The Ming Dynasty was a country with such a huge maritime frontier, and its maritime defense was undefended for the Hai Song Dynasty. And the price is to inject capital into the Ming Navy, and the Ming Dynasty seems to have eaten this cake. Strategically, the navy was no longer developed, and only a Yellow Water Fleet, which was less than one-tenth of the tonnage of the Haisong Navy, was retained. Moreover, the training of fleet cryptography personnel is in charge of Hai Song.

Therefore, the Ming Navy Division and Hai Song are almost a family, Xiao Xuan invited the Ming Army Navy Division and his party into the hall in a friendly manner, and let the Ming Army Army who boarded the ship at the same time look stunned. In the conference hall, the army and Hai Song's arms dealers were arguing with their faces and noses, while the Ming army sailors and Hai Song naval officials were discussing whether to drink their daughter's red wine or European red wine at today's dinner. And what kind of sauce is more delicious for the prawns caught in the sea.

Seeing this scene, the quartermaster of the Imperial Army had the feeling of being alone and being led to the inn by the black tour guide.

"You're sitting on the ground!" An Imperial Army officer wearing a lieutenant general's uniform looked at the Hai Song man wearing Hanfu and leisurely sipping tea on the opposite side and said. This Haisong businessman said gracefully: "The price of the cannon and the incendiary bomb is already the reserve price. General, you should see our friendship, I heard that you are in trouble and brought this batch of arms from the active arsenal of Hai Song as soon as possible. Shipping costs are naturally a little more expensive. A look of love to buy or not to buy expression.

However, in this battle, the Imperial officers were defeated, and the South Asian Tiger Legion was defeated too quickly, and the defeat was too ugly, and all the commanders of the lieutenant generals were captured. And he was pulled out of the homes of ordinary people in civilian clothes. The Imperial Army, which had only been taken, suddenly became three points afraid of the enemy it was facing. At the same time, the Southern Capital Empire sent telegrams three times a day demanding that the war be fought as soon as possible to solve the current strategic crisis in the Southern Capital.

Finally, under the contact of the telegram, the arms dealer of Hai Song won the business with a satisfied smile.

Camera cuts.

The big battle was about to be staged, and the red republican forces in northern Anhui as the core, northern Jiangsu and central Anhui, and southern Henan began to mobilize the army, and the heavily armed field troops led by Ren Di began to take the train north.

In addition to the army, other fronts began to mobilize. Zhu Yuerong was holding a call-up order in his hand at this time: "Comrade Su Yueling (Zhu Yuerong's pseudonym), please report to the medical department quickly." ”
