The local government of the Yuan Dynasty in Guangdong at this time is working hard, and now the army of the Guangdong rebel army He Zhen is getting stronger and stronger, in the face of the surging Han rebel army, the local government of the Yuan Dynasty is very dependent on the troops composed of ethnic minorities, and the entire southwest, the Li army of 10,000 people on Hainan Island was a strong army in the early days of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, and the main war area was near Vietnam. Now the Yuan Dynasty thought of this army again. Select soldiers from the Li people, and at the same time stir up contradictions between Han and Li, so that this army can go to Guangdong to fight He Zhen.
Compared with the current battlefield in the north, the fighting in the south is significantly lower by half an era. Due to the sudden rise of the republic in the north, the firearms corps has become the most advanced representative, although out of the republic, other forces are more or less less productive, or cold weapons combat as the mainstream, but these forces more or less have formed one or two and a half firearms army, each war of more than 10,000 people must be artillery, a few days ago on behalf of the Yuan Dynasty and the Red Turban Army of the most advanced two firearms army in Anyang City, Henan Province, this place, The two sides dispatched a total of 11,000 pure firearms troops to stage a modern battle in which artillery strikes and platoons were shot. The general of the Yuan Dynasty is Wang Baobao, this person is indeed a general in this battle with the Yuan Dynasty self-made, a few must be cooled, in the eyes of the republic is an inferior product of the eagle cannon, in the artillery battle won the artillery regiment of the Red Turban Army, and at the same time in the next row of guns to shoot the army to force their own army to maintain the array, in the battle loss ratio of both sides reached 5o% when the Red Turban Army collapsed.
This war can be regarded as the collision of the two strongest and most advanced forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Red Turban Army, in this battle, the Yuan Army, which had experience in firearms warfare between the Communist Army, won the victory, Wang Baobao and the Yuan Army's artillery were excellent, and their strong will to war was the key to their victory. The firearms armies of both sides of the war were destroyed in this war. The firearms army of the Red Turban Army completely disappeared, and the firearms army of the Yuan Army needed a period of time to relieve the pressure after being shot by a platoon of guns that tested the psychological element greatly, and there were many casualties in the Yuan army.
It seems that both sides are defeated but this is not the case, the battle of the Yuan army eliminated the most elite troops of the Red Turban Army and at the same time tore a hole in the front, forcing the Red Turban Army to retreat in a large direction, for the Red Turban Army such a base area is still unstable, once the retreat is not able to obtain new strategic supplies, no new combatants to join, food relying on the capture of the county to kill the Mongol manor seized channels will be cut off, the northern Red Turban Army fell into a low period. On the contrary, the Yuan army gained respite and intensified its suppression of the Red Turban Army. At the same time, the Yuan army captured a large number of republican foreign trade artillery, and the firepower was even stronger.
The leaders of the Red Turban Army have now seized the coal mines in Huaibei as a life-saving straw, and when the Republicans announced that they were going south, the top brass of the Red Turban Army seemed to have put aside their worries and offered to build a railway to the Huaibei Coal Mines in order to continue to expand the coal trade with the Republic. At the same time, I hope to buy steel pipes from Gonghe.
The railway from Suzhou Coal Mine in Huaibei to Bengbu was originally refused to be built due to the inexplicable worries of the high-level of the Red Turban Army, but now the shape is severe, even if this railway is really drinking to quench thirst, it must be drunk. The republic agreed with both hands to build the railway, and after obtaining permission, the republic immediately sent railway troops to build it. As for the export of steel pipes, the republican side has concerns, what does the Red Turban Army want steel pipes for? Everybody knows. I just think that I am too slow to drill iron pipes, and I want to purchase them directly to meet the needs of gun barrel manufacturing.
The point is that once the republic sells the barrel, it is extremely easy to vigorously increase the strength of the Red Turban Army, and now most of the strength in northern China knows the murderous thing of the Mini bullet. They were also developing their own muskets, but as in the early days of the Republic, drilling the barrel was a troublesome affair, and the Republic imposed strict export controls on weapons-grade steel pipes. Otherwise, the current war in the north would have been a situation of bullets flying all over the world.
Later, after careful discussion with the high-level leaders of the Republic, Cheng Pan believed that the steel pipes could not be bought, but as a return for the Republic's departure to build railways, wrought iron pipes could still be sold. However, the Republic also lifted the ban on the export of one thing, and a thousand tunnel breech muskets were sold to the Red Turban Army at a high price of two poles of one ton of coal, which required the addition of gunpowder to the breech with a horn powder jug, at most in one minute
Fired six times, the effective range is more than 18o meters, the specific parameters and structure are the same as the original space-time 1776 Ferguson flint gun, which belongs to a small branch of the Republican Pan's firearms technology. This is a musket that has absolute technological superiority over the forces other than the republics. After this excellent musket was exported by the Republic, the Red Turban Army was ecstatic, but it was soon poured cold water by the next news, and the handover personnel told the Red Turban Army that this was a newly released foreign trade musket of the Republic and could be ordered from the free market in Rugao in the future. In other words, any force can place an order for this musket in Rugao. The Yuan army can also be.
This breech flint gun was immediately imitated by the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty to the Red Turban Army, and the Red Turban Army intended to imitate it, but after the various parts of this musket were removed, the craftsmen could only understand the shooting principle of this gun. Mass production is simply impossible, and the dozens of factories with various machine tools in the Republic are not comparable to these workshops that rely on a few tools to polish by hand. Even for the simplest trigger part, the difference in the size of the trigger on a thousand guns is no more than half a millimeter. The same kind of parts can be used together. And the guns imitated by the craftsmen of the Red Turban Army, none of the parts on the gun were put on the other, and they were either loose or tight.
Since imitation is not cost-effective, then it is too late to buy it. Large-scale imports, as for the gun workshop, let it take care of the gun repair business.
Two months later, a unit of the Red Turban Army rushed from Haozhou to the west, passing by the republican road construction and railway troops. Seeing that the Republic had erected the steel of the first number on the ground in strips, these dirt buns were very curious. The march of the troops was somewhat hampered, and at the same time the republican road-building railway army began to be on guard. A 200-strong cavalry contingent of the Combo Army and a 1,000-strong railway security maintenance unit of the Red Turban Army approached to maintain order, and after questioning and exchange, the crossing army quickly left the place.
The officer of the Red Turban Army who crossed the border was Zhu Yuanzhang. , Relative to his subordinates' curiosity about the two thick steel bars to erect a railway, Zhu Yuanzhang paid more attention to the railway troops that built the road, although this unit did not carry weapons, but the face was ruddy, the body was strong, and the work was well organized. There was no fear in the face of his own troops, and he quickly lined up. From Zhu Yuanzhang's point of view, this is a strong army, but the republic has built a road, and this army has no complaints, which shows that the regular army in the republic has stronger strength, otherwise it is impossible to convince this army.
Xu Da on the side saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face stern. said: "Big brother is worried about the strength of the republic." Zhu Yuanzhang replied: "You can also see it? Xu Da said with a wry smile: "But looking at this road construction team, you can get a glimpse of the strength of the republic, who will rest assured that there is such a powerful neighbor on the side?" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "When I didn't meet with the republic before, I always thought that the republic did not have the strength of the Northern Expedition, so I made a reason for rapid industrialization to prevaricate, and now it seems that the republic is gathering momentum and the days of explosion are approaching, I often heard that you and Cheng Pan have a relationship, what do you think?" Chang Yuchun, who was on the side, heard this and said with some self-deprecation: "Ten years ago, I escaped with him in a boat, and looking back today, I often have eyes that don't know the real dragon." When I heard this young man say that he wanted to expel the Tartars, and he didn't want to go with me to Mingjiao, I laughed in my heart that it was useless to be a scholar. Now people are already stomping their feet and shaking the world. It seems that people really don't like the way to start a business under the banner of Mingjiao. "Now the leaders of the Red Turban Army who started with Mingjiao have heavy troops, and most of them take Mingjiao seriously, so Chang Yuchun, a believer in Mingjiao, said that this is still a little sad.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the general under his command was a little depressed, so he comforted: "Yuchun, who has not looked away in this life, the Confucian scholars in this world think they are talents, and a few years ago, they didn't all blindly judge Cheng Pan to commit injustice and kill himself." Now these literati are dumb when they talk about the republic. We still have to go on the road we are waiting for, and we may be able to run the world one day. Zhu Yuanzhang's words encouraged everyone. The team moved west.
Cheng Pan didn't realize that the original history of the world co-master, and he had an unattainable mentality for himself. Now Cheng Pan is discussing southern Jiangsu and going south to Hainan Island. Now to invest in the territory of the republic to set up factories foreign capital not only from Zhejiang, but also from southern Jiangsu there are many financiers, Nanjing and Suzhou this piece of land is very close to the Republic of Anshan Industrial Zone. As early as when Cheng Pan started his home, he was under great pressure from Nanjing. Later, Cheng Pan's sense of security came back after he became stronger, but Nanjing felt the pressure of the tiger on the side, and the Mongol ruler in Nanjing, the Fushou Overseer, and the local gentry in Jiangnan have always wondered why the republic turned a blind eye to the nearby rich land. Moreover, the city defense of Nanjing (then called Jiqing) was not relatively strong with the attack force of the communist army, and the city wall of Nanjing was blown up by the communist army with picric acid a few years ago. Moreover, to the west is the Anshan Industrial Zone of the Republican Army across the north and south of the Yangtze River, and the 30,000 garrison troops of the Republic here are only a day's march from the city of Nanjing.
In an irresistible mentality against the republic, the generals of southern Jiangsu have broken the jar and broken. There are slack armies everywhere. Wait for the Republic to call. But the republic just doesn't come to "accept", southern Jiangsu, which is semi-surrounded by republican forces, seems to be the forbidden territory of the republic, Zhang Shicheng in the north does not come, and the Fang family army in the south is even more reluctant to go north. Gradually, some landlords in southern Jiangsu invested money in southern Jiangsu to set up factories and began to make money, and the landlords in southern Jiangsu began to swarm their funds into the republic. Some landlords whose land has exceeded the upper limit of the republican land law have consciously divided their land among relatives and friends, and some clan chiefs have also divided the land property rights equally in order to avoid trouble. The Mongols in southern Jiangsu began to take the names of the Han Chinese. A series of Mongol laws of the Mongol class in favor of the Mongols were no longer observed. Southern Jiangsu is gradually moving closer to the republic. Last year's most representative time was that the Fushou Overseers found an excuse to stop transporting imperial grain to the north, you must know that the republic has not cut off the channel for the Yuan Dynasty to transport grain from the south, and the rise of the Zhejiang Fangjia Army The imperial grain in Zhejiang is gone, and now southern Jiangsu has appeared, as long as the republic is willing, the north will never be able to go south. It is true to do a good job in the relationship with the Republic, and now Fushou has an industry in the Republic, and there are four cement salt farms on the south side of the Sun. Fu Shou, who used the factory to make money, thought that there was no conflict with the republic's land policy, and now he was only in charge of the army, and he didn't care about legal trials and the like, and changed his Han name to Hu Shou, and went around doing good deeds to cultivate a good name. I was already thinking about how to keep my life comfortable when southern Jiangsu was annexed to the republic.
People like Fushou have already accounted for a large part of the high-level in southern Jiangsu. The Republic did not expect this kind of overture of bare legs. Perhaps it was the end of seeing other landlords rebel against the republican reform policy. The psychological pressure on the side of the republic in southern Jiangsu is extremely high. I began to want to find a way to live. These landlord classes were passively transformed, and at the same time asked whether it would work in the same way that primary school students asked their parents about their homework. Correction can avoid beatings. Moreover, the result of being a factory owner with active correction is better than the result of passive correction and starting from scratch again, these squires of southern Jiangsu imagined the republic to seek verification.
According to Cheng Pan's revolutionary theory, the revolution is not to kill people but to reform the old rules, which southern Jiangsu is willing to take the initiative to do, and intends to follow the republic's will to reunify. This is an opportunity for the reunification of the Republic of Canada. However, some people believe that this is the power of the old class to preserve its strength, and the republic does not need to pay attention to it, and the future troops will enter southern Jiangsu according to their own plans.
In the end, the results of the discussions were unified, and the republic supported the change in southern Sudan, but the republican policy would not make any compromises. Cheng Pan replied to Fushou in the name of the Supreme Commander of the Republic, and the land sharing policy of the First Republic would not change, but the Republic would protect the non-arable land property of all people, including the original factories on the occupied land. Second, those who committed the most heinous crimes in the countryside must be tried and sentenced at the time of republican reunification. Third, the republic will strictly uphold the equality of all men before the law. No one is privileged.
After these three articles were proposed, Cheng Pan finally added that the republic would occupy southern Jiangsu in three years. Please let the ruling forces in southern Jiangsu watch it.
The gentry class in Jiangnan breathed a sigh of relief when they got these three, and the republic still gave them a way to live, but there were very few people who ran rampant in the township. Who wants to harm their fellow countrymen? As for those who had been running rampant in the countryside, they were ready to run away. The Mongols in southern Jiangsu got the news and knew that the republic had no intention of liquidating the Mongols, but the biggest evil of this public trial was extremely tricky, and as Mongolian nobles, who had not been arrogant to the Han peasants. Selling land, changing names, changing places, these Mongols found a way to circumvent and began to act. The price of land in southern Jiangsu began to plummet, and due to the upper limit of 30 acres of land, many wealthy landlords did not dare to buy it, so some Mongolian nobles had to directly distribute it to their tenants. He took the gold and silver and went away. Southern Jiangsu was automatically transformed up and down by Cheng Pan's words, which surprised all forces in the world, and some scholars jokingly said that "the communist army has not arrived, and the emperor Cheng Pan's life is full of Jiangnan". Another voice replied, "In the past, the emperor ordered Jiangnan to change the law, and the squires in southern Jiangsu also had to fight, and they wouldn't be so obedient."
That's what happened in southern Sunan. Let's move on to Hainan Island.
