Chapter 773: The most important thing is not Heluo, but Hetao
Nowadays, a large number of students and veterans have entered the court system to work, and every official has two or three deputies around him, and each time he goes to a group, another group will come, especially in the Hancheng Special Economic Zone, where every official has at least five deputies around him.
What's more, 70 percent of these officials and deputies are veterans, and the other 30 percent are students who have come out of the academy. Compared with those young and immature students, veterans are more calm and can understand the meaning of change.
Most of them are from poor people and can better understand the needs of the common people, while most of those students are from solid families and rarely have access to the dark side of society. However, after becoming the deputy of the officials, they can communicate with each other in their study and life, which also allows them to look a little lower and look at the lives of the people at the bottom.
Let them understand that the decisions of the court are related to the living habits of these ordinary people, and the slightest mistake or omission will inevitably lead them astray. Therefore, caution is a must.
After a few more days, I finally met Xiao Miao, the long-known lord of the Great Liang Kingdom, who was not wearing the emperor's robe at this moment, but a plain white filial piety robe, and the hair bun on his head was also a straw stick, looking poor. This guy is still quite young, no more than forty years old, and he looks dignified, but his expression reveals an indescribable gloom and depression.
Coupled with the shape of that body, it reminds me of a saying: a feathered phoenix is not as good as a chicken, not to mention that this guy is not qualified to be called a phoenix at all.
"Lord Xiao, I have heard the name of the Lord of the country for a long time, but unfortunately I can't see it, but today, I finally saw it. The lord of the country asks ......" I stood up and bowed my head to Xiao with a reserved bow.
"Your Majesty, you know that you will die, there is a wish at this time, if Your Majesty can allow it, then you can turn a blind eye." Xiao Mo didn't understand my kindness, and he lifted his front placket and fell to the ground.
"Hugh is rude, Your Majesty Zhun Er's sitting in peace is already the most benevolent, Erhugh wants to get an inch." Ma Zhou next to him frowned, stood up and shouted.
"Milling naturally knows his identity, but if His Majesty does not allow this wish, Milling will not be peaceful under Jiuquan." Xiao Mo continued to say in a loud voice without raising his head
I frowned slightly, raised my hand to stop those ministers who were already frowning angrily, and said with a faint smile: "I don't know what Xiao Guozhu will agree to?" ”
"Your Majesty, Sui lost its deer, the heroes of the world competed, and there was no mandate to protect him, so he was captured by His Majesty, and his life was also. Milling has nothing to say. However, the deceased is the only one, and the people of Jingxiang are innocent, and I ask Your Majesty to spare them, and don't kill and plunder......"
“…… If His Majesty allows it, there will be no regrets even if he dies. In the end, Xiao Mo raised his head, looking generous and righteous.
And I couldn't help but have a crying and laughing expression on my face. "What does Lord Xiao mean by this? Could it be that Xiao Guozhu is so closed to the point of hearing and hearing? I am crusading against all the lands in China, and what I do is to unify China. Whether it is Xiao Guozhu's Liangdi, or Xue Ju's Western Qin, or Li Liang's Hexi...... All for the unification of the world and the people's freedom from the suffering of war. ”
"In the land I conquered, there has never been anyone who dared to infringe on the people, as for the reason why Xue Rengao was hanged, it was because he wantonly killed and plundered excessively when Western Qin was the master, and his crime deserved death. And although Li Liang is also captured now, there is nothing wrong with him, and now although he is a common person, he can also live with his family. As for you, the lord of Xiao, although you are jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and you are ambitious and talented, you have today, but the land of Jingxiang can be governed in an orderly manner, and the people can live in the world. ”
Xiao Mo raised his head in a daze, as if he didn't know me, Khan, indeed this thing should be the first time I have seen the handsome and majestic son.
"Why, do you think I'm going to trick you?" I rolled my eyes and sat down on the soft couch. Xiao Mo opened his mouth and said after thinking about it. "Your Majesty, Mill's wife and children ......"
"Well, don't worry, your wife and children will be sent to you, and in addition, a village will be sent to you, hoping that you can do it yourself. If you want to be a common person with peace of mind, you can't do it, and if you want to become an official, you can do it......"
"Can you still be an official?" Xiao Miao's eyes almost glared into geometric shapes.
"Well, you need to go to the ministry to apply by yourself, after the assessment, you can enter the training department after the assessment is successful, and you can enter the ...... after two years of training" Next to Fang Xuanling stroked his long beard and explained.
Xiao Mo smiled astringently and bowed to me again: "Your Majesty is lenient, the heroes of the world are unmatched, and you are not wronged in losing the mill." ”
After Xiao Mo left, Luo Shixin rolled his eyes and was very disdainful: "The general of the defeated army, you dare to be crooked here, Your Majesty, you are not annoyed?" ”
"What are you doing to annoy him?" Du Ruhui said with a smile next to him. "The minister thinks that this guy clearly wants to excite His Majesty and die to the death."
"If he really has such guts, he shouldn't have come to Chang'an, he just found a crooked neck tree in Jiangling City and hanged himself directly."
"Okay guys, now Your Majesty has left that Xiao Mill a way out, and it's his business to love him. Nowadays, the most important thing is no longer Jing Xiang. It's the Loop. Yang Gongren stood up at this time and coughed twice, finally drawing the attention of this group of civil and military ministers.
Wei Yunqi had already left five days ago, and now, there were only eighteen days before the beginning of Xia, that is, there were still three days left before the Chinese Imperial Revival Army attacked Hetao.
Over the past six months, we have used various means to send more than 200 detailed workers and more than 3,000 officers and men of the special operations brigade to the Hetao area, and everything is ready. The military and people's livelihood situation in the Hetao area has all been mastered.
The detailed map and sand table of the Hetao area have been prepared, and every river, every city and village is vividly visible.
In addition, during this half year, more than 50 new ships were built in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, and together with rafts, the troops of the two armies could be transported to the Hetao area at one time, along with horses and baggage. After that, another garrison of the army would be transported to change the defense, so that the field army could concentrate enough forces to resist the Turkic counterattack that would follow after the battle had taken over the Hetao area.
In addition, the army in Yan'an County has also entered a state of combat readiness. It was to prevent the Turkic dogs from jumping over the wall in a hurry, ignoring the attacked Hetao area, and concentrating the main army to attack Guanzhong.
In addition, the Fourth Army and the two garrison armies in the Chang'an area are ready to go. If there is a problem in Yan'an County, then the three armies of nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses can arrive in Yan'an County within one day.
100,000, this is definitely not a small number, but fortunately, the towing capacity of today's steam locomotives is getting stronger and stronger, in addition, at least four steam locomotives can be driven out of the factory every month, so that now, between Yan'an and Chang'an, there are a total of 24 passenger cars, and 24 freight cars.
Each train can carry 1,000 people, and now it only takes two and a half hours to get from Chang'an to Yan'an, that is to say, these 48 trains can carry more than 50,000 people at one time.
In one day, it is enough to make two round-trips, so 100,000 people is really nothing. Such a terrifying carrying capacity was unprecedented in the past. And it is precisely because of the volume and speed of transportation by rail. Therefore, all the ministers of civil and military affairs have enough confidence in defending the area around Yan'an County.
Moreover, the task of Yan'an County is not only to defend, after the strategy in the early stage is achieved, after seizing the northern area of the Hetao, Yan'an County will send troops to contain the Liang division so that it cannot take care of the beginning and the end, if it can, it would be better to be able to take the Liang division as well.
The important thing is that the special firearms testers have been sent to Yan'an to station, and with the assistance of this desperately sharp firearms unit, with the scimitars in the hands of those Turkic barbarians and the war horses under them, can they still ride their horses and cut the barrels of artillery into two loads?
The special firearms tester is the original special firearms test group. Today, because of its combat capabilities and the role it plays, it is highly respected by military personnel. So now, it has been expanded into a division-level establishment.
The Janissary Firearms Regiment was upgraded to a special test division, numbering more than 15,700 people. Of these, there will be 8,000 cuirassiers, 3,000 cuirassiers, and an artillery reinforced regiment consisting of a hundred guns and a thousand cuirassiers.
In addition, the Janissary Special Firearms Test Division, whether infantry or even cavalry, will have ten mortars in each battalion formation. This kind of artillery is extremely lightweight, and the overall weight of the gun will not exceed thirty-five pounds. They use the newly developed impact lead.
However, it is precisely for this reason that the shells must be stored and transported very carefully, after all, this thing is really shaking too much, and maybe it will send its own people to heaven before it goes to war.
There were huge sand tables everywhere in the joint staff operations post of the General Staff Headquarters and the Military Department, but now everyone was gathered in front of the huge sand table that had been carefully prepared for this Hetao war.
“…… According to the information we have gathered, and the suddenness of the attack, the total population of the Turks and tribes in the Hetao region will not exceed 300,000, and the total number of soldiers and horses will not exceed 50,000. But here we also need to distinguish between the strong and the weak. Therefore, they can take up a hundred thousand people at most, if any, unless they have to send even the old and weak women and children to the battlefield. ”
"The reason why there are so few nomads in the Loop today is because most of the nomads are now migrating north in search of green pastures. And the vast majority of those who can stay in this fertile pasture of Hetao are a few nobles inside, such as Ashina Bozhen and Ashina Boqi, the two uncles of Jieli Khan......"
