Chapter 1053
The Chechens are a race destined to disappear from the planet, and they are greedy, narrow-minded, and short-sighted, and they know how ferocious and cruel the catastrophe is coming.
Daming's field was smashed, not only was the field smashed, but more than 200 people died, which has not happened in the past ten years.
The people of the Ming Dynasty, who have been inspired by the continuous victories for many years, are like barrels full of explosives, and the air raids inside are all filled with gasoline.
All it takes is a little Mars, and that's what happened in Uralsk.
So Daming blew up ......!
Angry civilians rushed into the streets, as there were almost no foreigners left in the capital. Those who sold skewers from the Western Regions were unlucky, these guys who were not yet Ming people were swallowed up by the crowd that swarmed.
The fists and feet were ruthlessly beckoned to the body, and some took advantage of the excitement to beat cheap hands, and even picked up a big stick and knocked it on the ankle bone one by one.
As for the reason for their beatings...... I don't know who said that the Chechens are from the Western Regions.
All the people in the Western Regions have been beaten, and those who can get up are not considered to have been beaten, and they need to be beaten again.
A large group of students rushed into the military headquarters with a shout, and the students led by them took out a large piece of cloth, on which more than 1,300 people bit their fingers and wrote their names in blood asking to join the army.
The people in the military department are also confused!
They were repeatedly told that conscription would not take place until after the fall. Moreover, it is necessary to have a physical examination and review, etc., and besides, the matter of conscription is not under the control of the Ministry of War, it is a matter for the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Only when the Ministry of Civil Affairs hands over the soldiers' files and people to the barracks can it be regarded as a real enlistment in the army.
In the past, joining the army was a punishment for prisoners, and there were clauses in the "Da Ming Law" that sentenced a certain person to be in the army for 300 li and 500 li.
But now joining the army is a good thing to do if you ask someone to find a relationship!
Want to join the military? Where is it so easy.
With a sincere mockery, the commander of the military department fooled a large group of people away. Then he began to write a report, and in view of the harsh external environment, Daming needed to increase the number of conscription posts.
In addition, because the troops have changed their equipment and their technical weapons have increased, it is recommended to increase the proportion of student soldiers.
There's no way there are too many new things in the army now, and those big guys are already difficult to control.
The artillerymen have their own special school, and what they learn is how to fire artillery accurately. Those complicated formulas make those peasant children like reading a book from heaven.
For the children who graduated from high school in the city, there is no problem.
Now many children are admitted to military schools after graduating from high school. As long as you are admitted to a military school, you are a person on the team and can earn money to support your family. It is more attractive than taking a high school entrance examination to get a university diploma.
There are more and more good things in the army, and there are more and more posts that require knowledgeable and educated people.
If the Ministry of War could not be directly responsible for recruitment, their claws would have been extended to those students in the school long ago.
Of course, the Ministry of Civil Affairs also rejected those students, because the marshal had orders. Only students who graduated from military academies were allowed to join the army, and the rest of the students had to flood the factories.
The students, who had no choice, ran to the door of the Marshal's Mansion to make trouble.
Anyway, everyone wants to join the army, you can do it!
They sent two representatives to ask for the commander's life, and actively asked to join the army to kill those moths that endangered the interests of the Ming Dynasty.
It's not good for this kind of representative not to meet with him, but Li Xiao feels that it is better to say it in front of all the students.
So, Li Xiao stood in front of all the students and accepted the interrogation of the little guy who had just grown fluff on his mouth!
"If you don't agree with us joining the army, then you will issue us a gun, and we will go to Chechnya ourselves and kill all the Chechens."
Li Xiao looked at the student representative in front of him, and he wanted to strangle this kid to death.
Lao Tzu runs education so hard, every year the gold mountains and silver seas are filled in, and you are sent to Chechnya to be cannon fodder?
This cannon fodder is also a little too expensive!
Who are the Chechens? That's the fierce mountain people in the high-acceleration mountains, and they don't spell Arabic numbers with you.
When it comes to Grozny, these hairy children need to face bright bayonets, black muzzles, and extremely cruel enemies.
Send these little guys, that is, to give heads to the Chechens.
The Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the time when the royal family is exterminated, and it will definitely not send the talents he has worked so hard to cultivate to the battlefield.
But I can't say that!
The children who study in the city should be retained, but is it said that the sons of peasants will go to the battlefield to be cannon fodder?
Some things are like this, but they can't say it openly and openly, and they need to find all kinds of excuses to cover them up.
"Good! Since they are willing to go to Chechnya to fight, they are all pillars of the country. But children, now that the railway has not been built, how can you go to Chechnya? Li Xiao began to teach earnestly...... Well, it's supposed to be the induction mode.
"We ...... Let's go by airship. The young man at the head said.
"Kid, airships have a range, too. You can't fly and you can't fly back, can you? ”
"That's ......! Then we're going to walk on our legs. The young man's face turned red.
The difference in status made him dare not argue with Li Xiao!
"Young man, do you know how far Chechnya is? How many mountains and rivers do you have to climb? Have you ever heard of the story of learning scriptures from the west? How many miles did Tang Seng walk? Li Xiao asked as if he had forgotten.
"One hundred and eight thousand miles!"
"Oh, yes! Worlds apart. Li Xiao nodded and gave the student an approving look.
"108,000 miles, how far away! I tell you, if you want to get to Chechnya, it will take two or even three hundred and eight thousand miles.
How many years has Tang Seng been gone? ”
"Seventeen years!" The young man's voice was much quieter.
"Look, it took seventeen years to get 108,000 miles. How old are you this year? I'm afraid that when I go to Chechnya, I will be older than I am now.
Besides, you went to Chechnya, do you need to eat and drink? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you tighten your belts and don't eat or drink.
But do you need bullets for your guns? Cannonball?
Do you have to carry these things? Junko, you tell them how much the shells weigh. Li Xiao turned around and asked Junzi.
"Back to Dashuai, the total weight of the mortar shell is 4.2 kilograms, which is 8 kilograms and 4 taels if it is combined with our Daming City catties.
This is the weight of one, and a battle has been fought. It is not uncommon for a cannon to fire three or two hundred mortar shells.
That is, a small battle was fought. Not counting bullets, mortar shells alone cost more than 3,000 catties.
The shell of a 120-mm howitzer weighs 35 kilograms, and the pound is 70 kilograms.
After a battle, at least 100 rounds must be fired.
According to 100 rounds, that is 7,000 catties.
If it is more than two hundred millimeters, it is even more powerful, one shell is a hundred kilograms.
Even if you count fifty shots, you must have five thousand catties.
Let's talk about a small fight. On average, it takes five or six thousand pounds of cannonballs to run. And that's not counting the bullets, but also the weight of grenades and explosives.
Lin Lin finally came down, and he got 13,400 catties. ”
Li Xiao knows, and some of the straights know. Some of them are also talking nonsense to scare these children.
But Li Xiao didn't debunk it, just looked at these children with a smile: "You little body, can you carry 200 catties of ammunition, how far can you go with these ammunition?" ”
"Uh......!" The little guy almost cried, and he was only two hundred pounds.
What to do?
Li Xiao's words made him feel hopeless, he never thought that the so-called Chechnya was so far away.
108,000 miles he thinks it's a myth and legend, but if he really lets him go 108,000 miles, then it's ......!
There are still two or three hundred and eight thousand miles, and it is estimated that he will become a white-bearded grandfather after walking down one way.
The little flame of the young man's enthusiasm cannot be easily extinguished, which will make these children decadent from then on.
Li Xiao immediately waved his hand: "Children! If you want to go to Chechnya to fight, there is still a way.
Trains, as long as there are railroad trains, you can get anywhere.
Since the distance is too far, let's build a railway and drive directly to Chechnya. Are you willing to build a railway?
Do you want to be determined to make the railway all over my Ming Dynasty in your lifetime? ”
Li Xiao waved his hand, very imposing.
"Hit Chechnya! Build a railway! Build a railway! Build a railway! Junzi raised his right hand and shouted loudly behind Li Xiao.
"Hit Chechnya! Build a railroad ......! ”
"Hit Chechnya! Build a railroad ......! ”
The children's emotions were easily incited, and they all followed Junko, raising their right hands and shouting hoarsely.
"Kids, after you graduate, you're all going to apply for the railway college. Of course, you are also welcome to apply for military schools and become a member of the glorious army.
Your future is in your own hands. Tomorrow is yours, children. Li Xiao waved his hand very imposingly, and the children were so excited that they almost fainted.
The commander took them on a tour of the barracks of the Guard Regiment and learned a few skills from the soldiers of the Guard Regiment.
It wasn't until after dark that the children were reluctantly sent back to school by the soldiers of the guard regiment.
Building railways is a chore, and people who are not extremely determined will will absolutely not be able to persevere.
Shi Kefa always complained to Li Xiao that the Ministry of Railways was always short of people.
It's also good to fool some children to build railways, after all, railways are the main arteries of the country.
Even with the advent of automobiles, it is difficult to change this situation in a short period of time.
There is no way to do it, the highway of Daming at this time. It is only eight or nine meters wide, and some provincial roads are more than ten meters wide.
Horse-drawn carts, ox carts, or tricycles or tractors are fine.
But it's hard to walk a big truck!
The width of the large truck is three meters, and many sections of the road are only two lanes. Again, this is the result of cars occupying the bike lane!
In fact, neither the officials nor the common people of the Ming Dynasty were ready to leap from the agricultural era to the industrial age.
flickered away the child, but it still couldn't extinguish the people's emotions. Every day, a large number of people take to the streets to ask the imperial court to send troops to destroy the little Chechen who dares to wield the beard of the tiger.
No matter how the officials of the Shuntian Mansion say that the road is too far, it is useless to say that they need to prepare. The vast majority of them have heard of Chechnya for the first time.
As for where! He even asked ten ten, shaking his head.
A lot of people actually just vent their emotions, no matter what.
This kind of thing can't be forced, after all, this is the spontaneous behavior of the people. Even, Li Xiao felt that this kind of patriotic sentiment needed to be protected.
At the behest of the people, newspapers had to make headlines.
The headquarters of the Fourth Division, stationed in the northwest, is in full preparation. In the near future, he will rush to Central Asia to exterminate the Chechens who dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as the report came out, the people of the capital immediately rejoiced.
Snowflake-like letterheads flew to the northwest to comfort the officers and men of the Fourth Division. Many people actively donated money and materials, and the military headquarters received more than a dozen waves of representatives of factories and residents every day.
"Dashuai, do you really want the fourth division to be mobilized?" Stilwell was taken aback to see the report, he was the chief of the general staff.
He didn't receive such an order, and he thought he was being hollowed out. Hurry up and come to the Marshal's Mansion to ask Li Xiao!
"Mobilization always has to be mobilized, but there is no need to rush. The Fourth Division has not fought in these years, and it is good to let them go abroad for training.
In general, it is still your advice, let the Russians, Azerbaijanis and Armenians go first. ”
"But you give the order, you have to let me know." Stilwell felt a little guilty, what was the point of being the chief of the general staff like this.
"No order! According to the system, military orders are to be issued through the General Staff. Li Xiao looked at Stilwell with some surprise.
"...... in the newspaper!" Stilwell was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect Li Xiao to answer like this.
"It was written for the outside world, and the patriotic enthusiasm of the people was very good, and they had to be given an explanation.
Since you are here, it is up to you to give orders. The fourth division was ordered to prepare for war in full swing and prepare to go abroad to exterminate the Chechens together with the allies.
Nie Dahu is also a veteran, and he knows how to prepare.
In addition, the truck allocated 100 to Nie Dahu. Two drivers per car! ”
"Each car has two drivers, it's too extravagant." Stilwell was taken aback, now a driver is more expensive than a car.
"He went abroad to fight, and it was not easy to transfer supplies. Giving them more trucks will also make them a little more restocked.
Fighting in the mountains, supplies and supplies are the first priority. Especially when fighting abroad, it is a top priority. ”
"No!" Stilwell immediately stood up and saluted.
"You just think too much, the most taboo thing in the army is to order multiple doors. Orders are not given through the General Staff, such things affect the prestige of the General Staff.
It will also confuse the troops below! I, Li Xiao, was born in the army, so I would not make such a mistake. ”
"No!" Stilwell blushed slightly.
"O you! He regards the power in his hands as more important than anything else, and always disrespects the rules of the imperial court. You and I are full of iron and can twist a few nails, and if you want to control people and troops, you still have to rely on the regulations of the imperial court.
What decrees were issued by the imperial court, and where troops needed to be mobilized. You have to respect the rules, everything has to be according to the rules, you know? ”
"No!"
