Jiro Ono took his pirate ship with him, and he also took Zheng Mang with him.

No one knows exactly where the pirate ship went, it melted into the air and never reappeared in this world again.

Of course, if there is no Zheng Mang on it. No one cares about the whereabouts of this pirate ship, and many years later, there are still people who covet the Zheng family's bounty and look for this pirate ship everywhere.

Pity! This matter, as if doomed to be like many historical mysteries, has no result.

Zheng Mang fled, but the Zheng family couldn't escape.

However, the development of things made Li Xiao a little helpless.

Zheng Zhilong suffered a stroke, from a healthy old man to a paralyzed patient. It's just a matter of a moment!

For the Zheng family, this is standard bad news.

The Zheng family has no backbone, and Zheng Zhibao, who came from Fuzhou, will not say anything except to make amends.

Zheng Zhilong is strategic, and Zheng Zhihu is martial. When he arrived at this Zheng Sanye, there was only one left. Although Zheng Zhibao's qualifications are mediocre, he is better than being self-aware.

I haven't come out in Fuzhou all these years, and I spend all day drinking, where would I think that the backer would collapse one day.

Zheng Zhibao is not stupid, he cried bitterly in front of Li Xiao, knelt down and kowtowed. Finally passed this level, and then took a heavy gift to find Man Gui, who had just returned to the capital to receive the task.

Zheng Zhibao knew that in the list of Li Xiao's most trusted people, Man Gui was extremely high. As long as you say that you are moved by Mangui, you are not afraid that Li Xiao will not let go of the Zheng family.

Of course, this is the idea that Zheng Sen, who is far away in Europe, gave Zheng Zhibao. Zheng Sen once studied equestrianism with Man Gui, and the two had a very good relationship.

"Forget it! This matter has been stopped since then, as long as the Zheng family hands over Zheng Mang. "Man Gui is here, Li Xiao naturally can't help but give face. But the culprit still has to be caught!

Although Hu Niu and Li Lin were not seriously injured, their nature was too bad. Li Xiao must set an example for all the gentlemen in the capital!

"I've already scattered people to catch them! I heard that I ran away to sea and got on a Japanese ship. The Zheng family is using their influence to arrest people, as long as they catch it, they will send it to you. ”

Take people's money and eliminate disasters with people, not to mention that the relationship between Man Gui and Zheng Sen is not bad.

"Ran to the sea, it won't be the Zheng family who protects him." Li Xiao was a little suspicious.

After all, before the Ming navy crisscrossed the seas, the Zheng family was the maritime hegemon in East Asia.

"Nothing to do! I asked Midori and she answered the same thing. The Zheng family will not ruin the huge family business in Daming for the sake of a gentleman.

Although Zheng Zhibao is a little mediocre, he can still weigh which is more important. ”

Li Xiao nodded, and also agreed with Man Gui's words. After all, compared to the Zheng family's huge family business, Zheng Mang is nothing.

For the sake of the family's interests, the big family basically did not hesitate when it was time to sacrifice.

"Zheng Zhilong looks like this, it looks like he can no longer be the minister of water and electricity. I will consider other people for this position, after all, this official position belongs to the Ming Dynasty, not his Zheng family. ”

Man Gui "chuckled" in his heart, everyone knows. The power generation industry is like a hen that lays golden eggs!

The Ming Dynasty has experimentally built a dam on the upper reaches of the Liao River, and the results are staggering. The city of Shenyang, because of the power of the dam, quickly entered the ranks of the cities that use electricity.

Electricity is so abundant there that a pole can be erected every twenty meters on the street.

The Ministry of Water and Power is said to have a more ambitious vision. That is to cut off the Yangtze River and build a huge dam on the Yangtze River, which will then be used to generate electricity.

It can solve the electricity problem of the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River will soon change from the current darkness to a brightly lit world.

It is said that there is also this idea on the Yellow River, but the amount of sediment in the Yellow River is too large, and it needs to be well demonstrated by top hydraulic experts before it can be done.

Everyone knows that this is a profitable business. And as long as you get the shares, you can eat them endlessly.

The Zheng family lost this position, and it is estimated that they will die of distress. If Zheng Mang, this kid, is found by the Zheng family, he will definitely be cut by the Zheng family first.

These words came out of Li Xiao's mouth, and even if it was a consultative tone, it was actually unquestionable.

Even Man Gui suspected that Li Xiao's original intention was to take away the Zheng family's interests in the Ministry of Water and Power.

"That's it! Don't talk about these boring things, let's talk about you. Before you have drunk! Li Xiao glanced at Man Gui helplessly.

Man Gui has been in Beijing for a week, and he is either drinking with his old subordinates or mixing with Ao Ye all day long. The original debriefing was also delayed, but Li Xiao didn't have the heart to listen to Man Gui's debriefing recently because of the matter between Huniu and Li Lin.

Finally had a chance today, Li Xiao thought about it and hurriedly said it. Otherwise, it will take several days!

"I've been in the Northland all year round, and it's so easy to come back once. The old brothers are pulling and drinking, how can they not give face. Say, what kind of work is it this time.

Staying in the Northland all year round, the cracks of this bone are about to rust. After Man Gui finished talking about the Zheng family, he immediately reappeared. Lying directly on Li Xiao's recliner, he opened the cigarette case and took out a cigar and threw it to Junzi, asking Shunzi to help cut it.

Shunzi turned the cigar into fruit, cut off the cigar head with a cigar scissor, handed it to Man Gui, and lit a match to help Man Gui light it.

"Tashkent!" Li Xiao also lit a cigar and took a puff before he said.

"Finally do you want to do it, avenge Zu Dashou?" Man Gui's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he heard that the Jungar Mongols had gradually begun to flourish again in Tashkent over the years.

They also had a large number of arms from the Russians, and there were already faint signs of imminent movement.

Although they can't defeat the Ming in Central Asia, it is not a problem to rely on their current strength to beat the Persians violently, or to go south to destroy some small states in Afghanistan and India.

"That's right! Our Ming field division Zhang will not die in vain, and the blood debt owed by the Mongols will naturally have to be repaid with blood. Li Xiao took a puff of his cigarette and puffed out a faint smoke.

"Hah! I've been thinking about making these bastards pay for a long time, let's say what's going on. "Man Gui was a little eager to try, and the First Cavalry Division hadn't fought any decent battles for seven or eight years.

As a direct consequence, it is difficult for Man Gui's subordinates to be promoted. Even if it is promoted, it is in those places in the Western Regions where birds don't.

There is no way to do it, the Ming Dynasty is the first to focus on military merits. If you don't have military merit, how can you be promoted?

Now that there is finally a battle, Man Guiyan can not be excited.

"In the Western Regions, your cavalry has a natural advantage. Airships are hard to count on, and there's no way around it. There are always sandstorms in that hellish place, and the airship is basically useless when it encounters a sandstorm.

You've been in the Northland all year round, and you know this kind of thing.

The biggest problem now is the supply of your first division. ”

"The problem of supplies is easy to solve, as long as I have enough horses. Cavalry! Fighting on the steppe, one man with three horses. Ammunition, water, and weapons could all be carried on pack horses.

Ox carts also need some, but they don't need that much.

As long as I am guaranteed to have three horses per man, it is not a big problem to march 100 kilometers a day. "Man Gui doesn't care too much about supplies.

With the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is not too much of a problem to organize more than 30,000 war horses. At the very least, Geritu will be very helpful.

"But you are cavalry, and as long as the enemy has a machine gun, you will pay a heavy price. A few days ago, I went to see Zu Kuan and Cao Bianjiao's military exercises!

They trained the tank regiment well! With such a thing as armored vehicles, a tank regiment can also carry an infantry battalion and a self-propelled artillery battalion.

Such a tank regiment has five battalions!

Therefore, the task of the main attack on Tashkent was carried out by these two tank regiments. You are in charge of the bottom line, and this time don't let one of the Dzungar Mongols get away.

You are going to cross the Altai Mountains and make a great detour. The journey is very difficult, and I can give you 40,000 war horses and pack horses for you to use.

After you have detoured to the back road of Tashkent, occupy various points.

Since you don't have to attack the fortification, your casualties will be much smaller. ”

"Let the tank regiment complete the main attack, two tank regiments? Against hundreds of thousands of Mongol cavalry? ”

"Huh! In my opinion, two tank regiments were enough to deal with a hundred thousand Mongol cavalry. Li Xiao sat on the sofa with a smug face.

"Without forage, my horses can graze. Lacking food, my soldiers can tighten their belts. Without ammunition, my soldiers can spare.

You just said the supply problem!

Not to mention the distance from Yumen Pass to Tashkent, even from the Ili River Valley to Tashkent is thousands of miles. Without fuel, how do you let the tank regiment go? Push or pull by those who were soldiers? ”

Man Gui doesn't like to assist others very much, and his own credit has been robbed by the two little cubs of Zu Kuan and Cao Bianjiao. That Lao Tzu is still mixed with wool!

"This matter has been solved by Zu Chengxun, although the airship cannot be used for long distances. But within 100 kilometers it is still no problem!

Cargo airships can be used to build supply points at intervals of 100 km. In this way, the airship will be much less likely to encounter a sandstorm.

Every hundred kilometers traveled by the tank, it was replenished and repaired. They experimented, and with this method tank regiments could travel more than three hundred kilometers a day.

If you continue to travel at night, it is not too much of a problem to travel 500 kilometers in one day and one night. Even in places with poor road conditions, driving 400 kilometers is not too difficult.

All you need to do is give them two cavalry battalions to disperse small groups of Mongol ranger scouts. They don't know what a tank is. ”

"It's ......! Let them fight that battle, what am I playing? Man Guiyi was excited and told the truth directly.

"It's spring again, isn't it? You think, those Jungar Mongol cavalry against tanks. What are the chances of surviving?

The Mongols are straight-eyed, but they are not stupid.

In the face of a rapid-fire attack from a tank double-two-five, the Mongol cavalry would receive fire at a distance of one kilometer. By the time they reached a distance of 100 meters from the tank, they were afraid that they would already have a mountain of corpses.

Moreover, when they reached ten meters, their rifle and machine guns could not penetrate the tank's armor. Surely they can't charge with a cannon on their shoulders!

Even if they rush in front of the tank, do you think the saber can knock the tank over?

I think the tracks of the tanks will crush them to pulp.

As long as they don't lack their hearts and eyes, they only have one way to go when they encounter such a blow. That's to run away!

Run away, where to run?

The king of Persia has submitted to the Ming Dynasty, and we have given them arms. Even if they can't defeat the Mongols, they will definitely not let the Mongols easily conquer the city.

Moreover, when they entered Persia, it was like one foot in the grave. A regiment of marines has been stationed in Munich.

Therefore, they could only flee in the direction of Russia.

Isn't that a headlong rush into your arms? When the time comes, you will send men to guard the main roads. Set up a machine gun to wait for work, isn't that still picking up people's heads?

It's been so many years, when have I ever let you do something that suffers. ”

"Not really! Are you really sure that the Mongols will collapse at the touch of a tank regiment? ”

"Definitely! You meet a tank regiment, you will not run. ”

"Silly! What are the iron guys you are waiting for if you don't run? My subordinates, there is nothing to deal with tanks at all. "When he thought of what the tank was looking for, Man Ye was a little discouraged.

Gone are the days of cavalry!

In the future, cavalry may still exist. But there will definitely not be such a large-scale equipment cavalry as the 1st Cavalry Division!

For the loneliness of the cavalry, Man Gui felt very uncomfortable. Except for cavalry, he was reluctant to command any other arms of the army.

"That's it!

Actually, it's not that there is no way to deal with tanks. It's just that the price is very high!

For example, the bazooka you are equipped with can almost deal with tanks as long as you modify the armor-piercing warhead.

And anti-tank mines!

As long as there is enough explosives, anti-tank mines are enough to blow up a tank five or six meters high.

Tell you a good job!

The tank looks invulnerable, but what this thing is most afraid of is exploding. Just put five to ten kilograms of explosives at the junction of the turret and hull of the tank, and you can easily stun the people inside the tank.

If the charge is larger, it is possible to die even if it is directly shocked.

So, it's not that hard to deal with. ”

"Huh! What is the range of the bazooka, the twin rapid-fire guns on the tank, the attack can be launched from a distance of 1,000 meters.

When you get within range of the bazooka, you don't know how many people will be shattered by the range.

As for the anti-tank mine, how much charge does that have? Even if you have enough anti-tank mines, you have to run tanks on them, right?

What kind of explosives package you are talking about, it is even more unreliable. Who the fuck can rush to the tank with an explosives bag! Man Gui scoffed at Li Xiao's statement.

Li Xiao also felt that the methods he thought of were a bit dirty. But there is no way, the local methods I know to fight tanks are these things.

"Actually, the best way to deal with tanks is tanks." Man Gui smoked a cigar and said slowly.

Li Xiao stared at Man Gui with round eyes, at this moment he understood what a genius was!

Man Gui is his mother's genius who commands armored forces.
