Chapter 819
The captured British colonel was dressed in a crisp British Army uniform with three stars shining in the sun. The two splayed mustaches hung in a perfect arc under the nose, and the blonde hair seemed to be waxed and reflected in the sun.
Zu Kuan's nose was almost crooked, he mixed up with this grandmother's virtue, and stayed in the barren mountains and mountains for more than 20 days, and this thing actually lived so freely. And the fucking heavenly reason?
"This is the British Colonel?" Looking at the bastard in front of him, Zu Kuan asked.
"That's right! It's him, head of the regiment, where do you guess this thing is hidden? It was hidden in a bunker under the main British position, which turned out to have a secret cellar. He stayed in the cellar these days, and today he came out to look for food, but he was caught by our brothers. The staff officer came over and reported to Zu Kuan excitedly. This fucking picked up a big fat pig!
"Fuck ......!" Zu Kuan's chin almost didn't fall to the ground, after looking for so long, he was actually under his feet, and it was really fucking dark under the lamp.
"I am Colonel Pahlavi of the British Army, Royal Rifle Regiment. I ask you to treat me as an officer! Pahlavi could see at a glance that the bearded man in front of him was the one who had the final say here.
"Pahlavi, Colonel!" Zu Kuanzai carefully looked at the blonde-haired Englishman in front of him, this guy didn't even hurt his oily skin except for his pale skin. A face is so clean that you don't want it, Zu Kuan feels cleaner than his own face.
"Yes! I'm Pahlavi. The tongue man translated Zu Kuan's words to Pahlavi, and Pahlavi immediately stood up to Zu Kuan.
"I'll fuck you!" Zu Kuan rushed over with a slap, followed by another kick that smothered Pahlavi far away. Pahlavi didn't expect to be beaten, and was knocked to the ground by Zu Kuan, instinctively covering his head with his hands.
"You son of a bastard, you have to go all over the mountains to find people, and the brothers have also killed more than 30 people." Zu Kuan hated him for disbanding his troops, causing his soldiers to go all over the mountains to arrest people, and these days there were more than 30 soldiers who were shot and killed by the Indians with cold guns, not to mention more than 40 wounded.
The battle is over, and there are nearly 100 casualties among the mother, Zu Kuan is really angry to death.
Facing Pahlavi, he kicked for a while. Until Pahlavi fell to the ground and stopped moving, the staff officers around him saw that something was wrong and hurriedly grabbed Zu Kuan.
"Captain! This yellow-haired monster is damned, but we still have to hand him over to the division headquarters for credit. You don't want the brothers to fight such a battle and take a lot less credit. The staff officer hugged Zu Kuan while giving the soldiers around him a look.
The soldiers, seeing that the momentum was not right, hurriedly dragged Pahlavi away. This guy is an important prisoner, and it is a good military feat to hand it in. Everyone wanted to beat him, but unfortunately they had to hand him over to the division headquarters first. This credit can't be lost by the head of the regiment with a fat beating.
"I demand treatment commensurate with the status of an officer!" Pahlavi's mouth kept howling.
"Fuck off, and knock your teeth out again."
**************************************
Li Xiao held the battle report in front of him in his hand, and laughed out loud when he saw this paragraph. "This Zu Kuan is really a fierce Zhang Fei.
Let the boys go back to Guanzhong to rest, they have been on the front line for five years, and they should also go back to Guanzhong to take a good rest. Make it clear to Ai Husheng that he will allocate more silver, and he can't let the heroes be too shabby. ”
Li Xiao knew that there was nothing to fish for fighting in the northwest except beef and mutton. The herdsmen in the northwest are poor, and the Indian soldiers are even poorer. It's a battle without oil and water!
"Dashuai, Mr. Zhang is here." Junzi came in to inform that Sun Chengzong was coming.
"Please!" Li Xiao was a little puzzled, what kind of major event attracted Sun Chengzong? The Western Front completely occupied the Ili River Valley, and this matter was a matter of time, and it would not have been Sun Chengzong who came to discuss with him.
"Seeing that you are in good spirits, what are the happy things?" Sun Chengzong walked in and sat on the sofa.
"Look at this military newspaper!" Li Xiao did not answer directly, but handed the military report directly to Sun Chengzong.
"Huh! This Zu Kuan, although it is a breath to his soldiers. But beating a foreign general like this is not a matter after all. After all, we are still a country of etiquette. In the future, the act of torturing and killing prisoners will be as small as possible, and it will not be conducive to our great prestige. ”
"My God, still torture and kill captives? Mr. Sun, you don't know what price the strong labor is selling for in Daming now. These Indian captives were all men in the prime of life, and selling slaves was a lot of money.
There was a war in the northwest, and the imperial court threw in millions of silver coins. But the soldiers really didn't see the benefits, and most of the money they accumulated was their own military salaries. The money from the sale of slaves, but their important income, how could they be willing to kill them with a knife. Li Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, after all, his subordinates trafficked in human beings, and this was not a long-faced thing.
"Huh! Selling prisoners is not a gentleman's doing. Ay......! Forget it, count on those Qiu Bacheng gentlemen under your command, I'm afraid that the sun will hit the west to come out. With a commander like you leading troops, how good can the soldiers under him be? Sun Chengzong smiled helplessly.
At the beginning, Li Xiao cut off people's heads and sold people's heads to make a fortune. Speaking of which, it can be regarded as the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked.
"You don't open any pot!" Li Xiao also blushed about his black history, after all, it was not a glorious thing.
"Mr. Sun, you see that the fighting in the Ili River Valley is basically over now. I have already sent four divisions to garrison the Ili River Valley, which has the best climate in Central Asia. As long as we properly build and operate well, we will move 100,000 immigrants over. Within five years, there will be no problem with self-sufficiency in grain.
As long as the railway is connected, the Ili River Valley will be connected to our Ming mainland. The materials needed by the Fourth Division could also be transported by rail.
We have no problem going west along the Ili River valley into Afghanistan, or south to India, or north to the Rakshasa country. In the future, the Ili River Valley will be the most important barrier in the western part of our Ming Dynasty. Li Xiao pointed to the map and pointed out to Sun Chengzong what kind of benefits it would be to occupy the Ili River Valley.
"Hmmm! This place is indeed a point, if it is really as rich as you say, it is a good foothold for my Ming in Central Asia. If it is used well, it will also have a diversion effect on the Tibetan people.
Recently, I heard that the Gesar you supported turned Tubo upside down. Now the plateau is full of smoke, although the Ming and India did not participate in the war. However, the forces supported by both sides are fighting to the death, and it is still unknown who will die. You're not ready to step in? ”
"What is going on on the plateau, let them fight. I don't have the heart to care about their affairs now, and besides, if our soldiers go to the plateau, there will be qi diseases. Or don't go to the muddy water of the pool, the third division and the first cavalry division withdrew to Guanzhong and the capital to rest. I took a division and went around India.
Luzhu has won a very good situation in India, I have won a good fight in India, as long as Mumbai is occupied this time, it will ruin Wu Sangui's business for so many years. Even if Wu Sangui escapes, he will not have a strong support point in the whole of Asia.
He can only go back to the British mainland!
Back to the UK ......! Hey! Over the years, he has been powerful overseas, and he has offended far more people than he has made friends. I wish he had a good time in England, but I don't think the House of Parliament thinks so. ”
And the Queen of England doesn't have a good impression of Wu Sangui, maybe Wu Sangui will die faster than in India when he arrives in England. I just don't know if this son can understand this layer! As soon as Li Xiao said it, Sun Chengzong immediately understood what he meant.
When Wu Sangui had troops and territory, the English Parliament and the Queen were still afraid of three points. But Wu Sangui lost so much that he didn't have any pants left, and there was only a dead end when he returned to England.
If a politician with no strength wants to die a natural death, he needs very strong political wisdom.
In short, as long as Wu Sangui loses Mumbai, he will die.
"You take a division to India, can you also bring Zhijie with you?" Sun Chengzong suddenly said.
Li Xiao looked stunned, he didn't expect Sun Chengzong to make such a request. Sun Zhijie led a guard regiment, but Sun Chengzong was the only military force controlled by Sun Chengzong in the capital. He is also the person who controls the second most military power in the capital!
Now, he actually sent his grandchildren to the front line, what is this for?
"Take Zhijie to India, the dragon blood Xuanhuang soldiers on the battlefield of Sun Lao are fierce, this is not a joke. The tiger you know has also been born and died several times, even if I am a handsome, it is impossible for me to protect Zhijie thoroughly. "Sun Zhijie is Sun Chengzong's favorite grandson, in case there is any three games and two shorts, he can't bear the responsibility.
"Huh! Going to the battlefield is no different from having your head tied to your belt. This time, let him go with you, also to earn some military merits. If the old man's calculation is not bad, this should be the last battle in the fifty years of the Ming Dynasty.
While he is still young and still has the energy, let him experience the last battlefield. Don't be a soldier once, and you haven't even been on the battlefield. One day, the old man kicked his legs, and he was nothing. ”
Li Xiao nodded, it turned out that Sun Chengzong had this idea.
He is right, the task of a soldier is to fight. What's more, the Liao army's heaviest military exploits, the Qiu Ba get together, not to compare a few stars on their shoulders, but to compare who has more battle wounds on their bodies.
Sun Zhijie has never been on the battlefield, and even if he becomes a general in the future, no one will obey him. How could such a person be able to afford the Sun family. Sun Chengzong did this for the sake of the Sun family's future plans.
"Alright! I took Zhijie to India, but ......"
"No, since he went to India, he had to lead his troops to the front line. I don't just want him to go to India to be gilded, but I really want him to go to war and fight.
This person is accustomed to seeing life and death and being a gentleman. Staying in the rear, what difference is it from not being to the battlefield. What I want is to hone his body and mind, including seeing life and death. ”
"But Wu Sangui's equipment is also very good, even if he is a regiment commander on the front line, he will be in danger."
"If Zhijie really has an accident, it is also my grandson's anger that is exhausted, no wonder others." After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiao with blazing eyes.
Li Xiao nodded, this time he really understood Sun Chengzong's intentions. He is here today to ask Li Xiao to take care of Sun Zhijie in the future.
Sun Chengzong's expression was a little gloomy, after all, he was also worried about letting his most beloved grandson go to the front line.
Li Xiao was also embarrassed, and he also left a division of Song Dazhong's division to stay in Beijing. Unexpectedly, Sun Chengzong handed over his grandson to himself, which was really a villain in vain.
Since this is the case, Song Dazhong's troops can also go out with the first division. Such a division can also be regarded as a fully equipped expedition to India, the defense of the Beijing division. Then temporarily let the Man Ye, who withdrew to the Beijing Division to rest, take over, anyway, the division headquarters of the First Cavalry Division is also in the capital.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and after being silent for a long time, Sun Chengzong suddenly said: "I almost forgot about the business, look at this fold." Sun Chengzong said, taking out a recital.
Li Xiao was a little puzzled, there was no emperor's recital, and most of these things were reviewed by Zhang Huangyan and Sun Chengzong. I have never interfered in this matter, why did I suddenly let myself look at the music today.
Opening the concerto, Li Xiao was taken aback. This recital is actually a request for life, and Li Xiao ascended the throne as emperor. Take a look at the payment again, the engineering department will take care of the big middle school!
"What's going on?" Li Xiao took the piece and threw it on the table as if he had encountered a plague.
The conscience of heaven and earth, Li Xiao never thought of being an emperor. Even now, when he had a million soldiers, he never thought of becoming an emperor.
"You really didn't do it?" Sun Chengzong looked at Li Xiao's appearance, and it didn't seem like a fake.
"I don't even know what Gu Dazhong looks like, how can I instruct him?" Li Xiao screamed and hit the sky, he didn't know that there was another person in the Ministry of Industry named Gu Dazhong.
"Speaking of Gu Dazhong, no one knows, but when it comes to his grandfather, you must have heard of it."
"Who?"
"Gu Xiancheng!"
"The Gu Xiancheng who first founded Donglin Academy?" Li Xiao was even more surprised, that was the big guy in the Donglin Party.
"That's him! Originally, I thought it was at your behest. I still wonder how you got together with him. In retrospect, it may have been a conspiracy. But what kind of conspiracy it is, the old man can't see it for the time being. ”
"What's so difficult about this, if I ascend the throne and become the emperor, then I will be a rebel and thief who usurped the Ming Dynasty. If he instigated some generals in the army, he might raise troops to attack.
At present, the 1st Cavalry Division has not yet returned to defense, and the 1st Army Division is also heading south by boat. This is really messing up, and they really have a chance. ”
The old man at this level also thought about it, but the old man felt that this matter was never so straightforward. Gu Dazhong has always been known for his delicate thoughts, and it is impossible for him to come up with such an idea without technical content. Sun Chengzong shook his head, feeling that what Li Xiao said was a little too simple.
