"Sukabule, this sentence is the Russian word for surrender of the gun and not kill."

"When the Russian army resists stubbornly, use this sentence to persuade them to surrender, and if they refuse to surrender, they will be resolutely killed!"

"Maozi, who can't even be touched by Sukabule, is no longer an ordinary Maozi, and he must strike hard!"

"Read it with me, pay attention to the feeling of flicking your tongue, Sukabule!"

"Sukabule!"

"Sukabule!"

In the lobby of the former Hubei governor's yamen, Liu Mingchuan was seriously studying Russian with more than 200 Huai troops under his command.

The Russian teacher from the Ming Royal War Department also carefully and responsibly taught them the correct use of the Russian language to ensure that not a single Russian prisoner could be captured during this expedition to the west.

According to the research and judgment of the General Staff of the Ministry of War, the Western Front may be the real main battlefield of the Second Ming-Russian War.

Compared with the 25,000 polar expeditionary forces of the Ming Dynasty in Eastern Siberia and Alaska to search the mountains and seas to catch wild hair, the Southern Chu army will face the headquarters of General Mikhail Dmitrievich Skobelev, known as the conqueror of Central Asia.

To put it simply, the Ming army was swimming but not attacking, and the Southern Chu army was the main force to resist Russia.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's assistance to the Southern Chu Army was all-round and paternal.

And like Su Xunzong, the Ming Dynasty also sent a military advisory group headed by Zhao Xizhu, a lieutenant colonel of the Ming Royal Army, to help and infiltrate the Southern Chu army.

I have to say that the combat effectiveness and comprehension of the warlords in the African region made the three masters of the United States, the Soviet Union and China collectively shut themselves up, compared to them, the Southern Chu Army is really a piece of material that can be made.

Of course, ideological penetration is essential.

However, this is only incidental, and the purpose of Daming's loving father is mainly to help his counterpart.

After all, Daming has shipped so many new gadgets from Ming Lijian, how can it exert its power without supporting military instructors.

Even if the 400 transport cars are not maintained by the Royal Army's automobile soldiers, if they teach the Southern Chu Army how to drive and maintain them, they are no different from scrap metal.

Daming is not afraid of raising tigers when he does this.

After all, Nanchu does not have an industrial base at all, and even after this thousand-mile move, it is impossible to even be self-sufficient as a political entity.

Zuo Zongtang smashed the pot and sold iron to withdraw from Fujian and Zhejiang, which was to hand over Zhu Fugui's most reliable letter of nomination.

Of course, vote for me with a peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao.

Sympathy is not a one-sided illusion of Zuo Zongtang, and Zhu Fugui also admires this old hero very much.

Daming Jinyiwei, the Royal War Department and other departments have been starting to study, and when Yan'an is recovered and the situation is stable, Long Live Lord will take the opportunity to drive the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum in Qiaoshan Mountain and worship Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor with Zuo Zongtang.

As for whether the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum is really on the top of Qiaoshan or not, it doesn't matter.

From Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as Zhu Fugui's old uncles of all dynasties, they all believe that this is the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor and the ancestral lineage of Chinese humanities, so this is it.

This place must not be allowed to fall into the wrong hands.

Of course, for safety reasons, Zhu Fugui's worship of the Yellow Emperor has not been notified to Zuo Zongtang, and the details of his itinerary also need a lot of scrutiny.

But in any case, Lao Zuo was able to cut off his own foundation for the great cause of the nation, and Zhu Fugui had no intention of taking the opportunity to make it worse.

And Zuo Zongtang also bet on Zhu Fugui is really anti-Russian.

After all, Zhu Fugui is not using the anti-Japanese resistance to engage his own people, Chang Kaishen, who has all kinds of bad deeds, has always had good credit over the years.

This time, in the holy decree to Zuo Zongtang, Zhu Fugui clearly pointed out:

The Ming military advisers do not participate in the strategic decision-making of the Southern Chu Army, only provide technical advice, do not interfere in the administrative management of the Southern Chu Army, do not interfere with the military discipline of the Southern Chu Army, and are not responsible for any war crimes committed by the Southern Chu Army, but they are not accountable.

At the same time, the Southern Chu Army should earnestly safeguard the personal safety of Ming advisers and experts, and every sacrifice required a detailed investigation report from the Chu State Government and the corresponding pension funds should be deducted from the railway stock dividends.

The bereavement funds shall be handled in accordance with the "Daming Law and Martyrs' Pension Measures".

Zuo Zongtang was very satisfied with Zhu Fugui's delegation of power.

Originally, after getting those rich materials that he didn't dare to think of in his dreams, Zuo Zongtang had a feeling of being raised as an outer room.

He was mentally prepared to be a marionette.

But I didn't expect the father of the Daming gold lord to be so benevolent, not ruthless.

The Ming court did not interfere with its military power at all.

Long live the Lord is really the Emperor of the Ages!

Fierce as Zuo Zongtang, holding the holy decree, looking at the mountains of materials on the dock, he couldn't help but cry, and the rainbow farts were scattered.

However, after reading the specific amount on the "Daming Law and Martyrs' Pension Measures", Zuo Zongtang gasped on the spot and hurriedly decided to treat these Daming experts as living ancestors.

·

In fact, these materials of Daming are worth 500 million yuan, to put it bluntly.

According to the exchange rate of 250 to 1, it is equivalent to 2 million yuan of Daming silver coins, or 1.35 million taels of silver, or 500,000 pounds sterling.

This amount of money is not as good as before, when Daming took advantage of the debt crisis of the southern government to lead to credit bankruptcy, and took it out to save the market, and by the way, harvested the principal of high-quality assets.

It's just that the industrial products of later generations and the agricultural products of the Ming Dynasty are so cheap that Zuo Zongtang thinks that Zhu Fugui has taken out at least forty or fifty million taels of silver to help him.

Therefore, his sentence "Long live the Holy Ming, thank you Lord Longen" was particularly willing.

Money can buy sincerity.

If you can't buy it, it means that you are using it in the wrong direction, or the other party is not a person at all.

Hui Chuban spent a small amount of money to buy Lao Zuo's sincerity, and the rich emperor was very pleased.

50,000 Southern Chu troops, 3,000 Hunan troops, as well as the trembling 200 inscription battalion Huai army, and more than 100 Guanning iron camel Jewish motorcycle soldiers, stayed in Wuchang for a total of ten days and carried out reorganization.

During this time, they learned the usage of the new equipment while learning Russian passwords with their tongues.

Finally, Zhao Xizhu used the two towns of Hanyang and Hankou as test subjects to test the Southern Chu army's mastery of Ming Lijian's equipment.

In these two battles, the instructors of Daming gave a failing grade.

This is also normal, if you can become a strong army with new equipment, the Huai army will not be beaten so badly by the Japanese in Korea and Liaodong in the future.

Of course, failing the pass does not mean that the battle loss ratio of the Southern Chu army is ugly, on the contrary, in these two wars, the Manchu army was almost immediately defeated, without a trace of surprise.

It's not that the Southern Chu Army is not excellent, they are good enough in the old-style army, but the instructors are the elite of the Ming Royal Army......

"It's too weak, and the discipline is too poor, if you fight like this, won't you have to fight with the French army with a 2-for-1, or even 3-for-1 battle loss ratio?"

"One Han is a five-hundred, you can't beat ten, at least you have to fight five, right?"

"I can't even beat foreigners 1 to 1!"

"Tired, destroy, what a chicken shame!"

Facing the complaints of the instructors, the generals of the Southern Chu Army looked at each other.

If two people can replace a foreign soldier and put it in the Great Qing Kingdom, whether it is Monk Lingqin or Lin Zexu, they will wake up from the coffin board with a smile, right?

Besides, you guys are converted from the elite guards of the foreign emperor, right?

We can only see the victorious army and foreign gun team formed by the ruffians and hooligans, if it weren't for a bunch of English soldiers pretending to be Ah San......

If we can all exchange one with the imperial guards of the foreign emperor, we won't give all the foreigners leased from Shanghai and Ningbo to sharks!

Regarding the Versailles behavior of the Ming instructors, General Nanchu dared not speak out.

Don't you see that Zuo Shuai is old, and he still humbly asks the instructors about artillery arithmetic?

How else can I complain?

Again......

Eat people with a soft mouth, and take people with short hands......

With the deep resentment of the scumbags against the scholars, they had no choice but to fight and study in the war later.

Zuo Shuai has already said that when the Russian turmoil is pacified, a group of activists will be sent to Fengdu for further study......

Many people realize that this is likely to be an opportunity to climb to the top.

The company generals did not dare to complain, and the small soldiers did not complain.

Every day, a big bowl of instant noodles is eaten, a large bottle of chili oil is mixed with, and there are enough cigarettes and betel nuts.

On August 8, the three towns of Wuchang, Hanyang and Hankou were officially declared liberated.

The three towns were officially merged into Wuhan Mansion of the Ming Dynasty as the base camp of the Southern Chu Army's westward expedition.

Due to humanitarian considerations, as well as the actual situation of labor shortage, Hanyang and Hankow implemented a policy of keeping braids without whips.

The banner men and the diehards who did not want to pay the pigtails were all cleaned and enslaved, and tons of supplies were transported down the Han River to the Qinling Mountains under bayonets and leather whips.

On August 10, the Southern Chu army swore an oath at the place where the Han River converged on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Zuo Zongtang immediately crossed the knife, faced the wind, and sprinkled the turbid wine into the river.

He took a deep breath and shouted loudly with all his might: "This general is ordered by Emperor Daming, Heavenly Father, and Generalissimo Zhu Fugui of the world's soldiers and horses, and takes you and others to Qinchuan, to Yumen, to Tianshan to beg for thieves, and you are willing to go!" ”

The 50,000 Southern Chu troops shouted in unison: "Follow Zuo Shuai and swear to repay the emperor (spicy) and grace (sauce)!" ”

As the head of the instructor corps and the de facto imperial trainer, Zhao Xizhu silently took out a tweeter.

Then in Zuo Zongtang's eyes of "why are you cheating", he shouted with a loudspeaker: "Two thousand years ago, the Chu people entered Qin for the revenge of a place, and today, the Chu people enter Qin to protect my Chinese ancestral land and the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor!" This battle is a national war, a national war, all monarchs, you and I encourage you to kill the captives! ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The sound of the Southern Chu army shook the blue waves, and the sound of the waves of the rolling Yangtze River blended together.

Shaanxi and Henan are the largest provinces in history and culture, this matter is not subject to the moment.

However, the importance of Shaanxi to the Chinese nation is self-evident.

Gu Weijun said at the Paris Peace Conference that China cannot afford to lose Shandong, just as the West cannot afford to lose Jerusalem.

Then China cannot afford to lose Shaanxi, just as the West cannot afford to lose Rome.

Perhaps in later generations, no Chinese will consider that in history we were on the verge of losing Shaanxi, Xi'an, and the Han and Tang dynasties of the Chinese nation.

is an extremely handsome old man, who has done all the dirty work cleanly, so that our descendants nest in the sofa, blowing the air conditioner, watching TV, and making fun of a few funny things about the big tower.

And now, this handsome old man burst out with a stronger passion than in history, leaving Wang Wenshao and 3,000 troops to stay in Wuhan, and the Southern Chu army to go on the expedition.

Perhaps it was the shock of the destruction of the three towns of Wuhan, or the unpopularity of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or the inspiration of the great righteousness of Chinese rejuvenation.

These defenders are not stupid, and they have long inquired about who the big boss is.

Since you want to invest, of course, it is more cost-effective to vote directly to the big boss.

However, they miserated.

Zhu Fugui didn't want to be Chang Kaishen, nor did he want to be Nehru.

For things like the incorporation of miscellaneous armies, old bureaucrats, and local heroes, Zhu Fugui has always been insensitive to him.

Zhu Fugui often draws on the experience of India, a major country in the world, but he really doesn't dare to learn the only way to surrender and accept rebellion, compromise and profit.

Otherwise, it would not be Zhu Fugui bragging that if he gave Daming three months, he would be able to integrate all the way from Heilongjiang to Kunming and create an Indian federation plus.

However, this is meaningless, and even endless.

Many things that the founding emperor could do will no longer be possible to solve in the hands of future generations.

So the Ming rejected their surrender.

Zuo Zongtang said that they were welcome to join Nanchu, but it was still the same sentence: "I will kill Russia, please send troops to come!" ”

Even if you have military rations, you don't have to worry, if you have a bite of spicy sauce noodles in Nanchu, you can't wait for corn on the cob to eat.

Backed by Daming's father, he is so arrogant.

It's just that as soon as I heard that I was going to lead troops north to fight the Russians and the Ma family's army, these soldiers shrank their eggs one by one, either because of the occasional cold, or because the old lady was in mourning, they couldn't travel far.

Zuo Zongtang didn't bother to pay attention to them, as long as he didn't come to make trouble and didn't harass the Han water supply line in Southern Chu, he would turn a blind eye and not care about it.

In this way, under the tacit understanding of many parties, the northward march of the Southern Chu army became an armed marching performance, and it did not encounter any resistance at all.

For Zuo Zongtang, the only thing that needs to be concerned is logistics.

The 130,000 people brought out by the Southern Chu Army from Zhejiang have fled several times, and now there are less than 100,000 left.

However, a lot of Ming Yuan was scattered, and he easily recruited tens of thousands of people in Hubei.

Of course, the treatment of the people cannot be compared with that of the regular army.

The Southern Chu army is fighting a war that is vital to the nation, and it cannot be treated badly.

Whether it is Lao Zuo or His Majesty Zhu Fugui, they are all people who treat soldiers well,

The salary of the ordinary Southern Chu army was restored to the level when the Hunan army was first established.

That is, 6 taels of silver per month, which is equivalent to 9 yuan of Daming silver dollars, 100 yuan a year!

If an ordinary green battalion soldier is not deducted from his salary, he will only have 2 taels of silver per month.

The Southern Chu army and the Lao Xiang army were three times as large as theirs.

He said that it is now the era of the gold and silver standard, and the exchange rate of the Ming silver dollar = Mexican Eagle Ocean = US dollar.

The annual income of a soldier of the Southern Chu Army is 100 US dollars, which is equivalent to a high-ranking cowboy or small farmer in the west, and is also equivalent to 1/2 of the Ming Royal Army, 1/3 of the Royal Sailors, and 1/5 of the Royal Air Force.

Such a high salary was the source of motivation for the Hunan army to be fearless of death.

It's just that relying on Zeng Guofan's ability to make money, now the Hunan army has long been bankrupt, and the so-called three salaries exist in name only.

But Zuo Zongtang relied on Hu Xueyan and Daming trade, and the total salary of 50,000 soldiers was 10,000 taels of silver a day.

As for the wages of those people, it is far from the same, and whether they have 10 taels of silver a year is a question.

But it's also a very good salary.

And two meals of corn paste a day, and a instant noodle with braised eggs for three days, don't be too carefree!

What surprised the nine-headed birds even more was that this job, which they thought was going to earn money with their lives, was actually far easier than they imagined.

In praise of the great diesel engine, the labor of the people was greatly reduced.

In addition to acting as a slender man in some sections of the river, most of the time you only need to help the military men carry their bags.

And this so-called bag is naturally stuffed with "Tang monk meat", "Da Bai Fu", "Wu Chao", "Tuli Frame", "Kang Shuai Fu", and the schoolbag painted with Wude abundant dividends and revolver pigs.

To put it simply, there is a little bit of a loss like the painting style of a spring outing elementary school student.

Such a light armed march did not end until Hanzhong Mansion in Shaanxi.

Although the main body of the Han River is in Hubei Province, the Han River also has a long distance in Shaanxi, and the water surface is wide and the river channel is very deep.

Today's Shaanxi is very tired and short of water.

The Yellow River, the Wei River, the Jing River, and the Luo River, which were once famous, are now unnavigable. (pictured)

Only the Han River south of the Qinling Mountains can be navigated, but one or two thousand tons of transport ships should not be considered.

In fact, after Xiangyang, ships of more than 300 tons could not be opened.

When it came to Shaanxi, it could only take a small boat of dozens of tons.

But it doesn't matter, Daming also used a transport ship to bring a large number of "Dingyuan-class" cement carriers.

This kind of earth-shattering boat is actually the cement boat that transports sand in inland waterways in later generations, and it is very weak. (pictured)

But in the hearts of the officers and men of the Daming Water Division, it is very sacred.

When Admiral Wang Zhonghuang fired the first shot of the Xinjin Campaign, he drove this kind of cement ship equipped with a stabilized wing of the Genggong Department.

The "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" cement ships, as the first generation of flagships of the Daming Navy, have also been permanently preserved in the Industrial Culture Center of the Daming Royal Museum.

Relying on these cement boats, the Southern Chu army entered the Qin land from Baihe County and went directly to Hanzhong.

As long as you get Hanzhong and want to go out of Xi'an, you just need to follow the old road of Shu Han. (pictured)

The Southern Chu army had more than 82,000 small carts prepared by Zhu Fugui. (pictured)

These iron carts, which are of excellent quality and have pneumatic tires to absorb shocks, are so clever that they are better than Zhuge Liang's wooden oxen and flowing horses.

It may be an exaggeration to cross the Qinling Mountains as a smooth road, but the Qinling Mountains are by no means a natural danger for the Southern Chu army.

Moreover, there is no need for the Southern Chu army to take Wei Yan's Meridian Valley Conspiracy Trail, as long as they follow the main roads such as the Slope Valley step by step. (pictured)

It's just that all of this is premised on the attitude of Yang Yuebin, the governor of Ganshan.

Whether he was loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or whether he had a bright heart, or whether he also wanted to follow the example of the leaders of the Hubei army, was very crucial for the Southern Chu army.

Just when Zuo Zongtang was about to write a letter to test Hu Huilin, the prefect of Hanzhong, that is, Yang Yuebin's son-in-law, suddenly two fast horses galloped towards the Southern Chu army from the direction of Hanzhong.
