"Why?" Li Xiao asked this question very curiously.

"Handsome!

Southwest Toast has existed for thousands of years.

They live in the land of China, but they are not the people of China, and they do not listen to the dispatch of the court of China.

For thousands of years, each toast has done its own thing. In times of peace, they pretend to gather strength, and when the storm is blowing, they will take advantage of the situation.

As early as the time of the two emperors of Yan and Huang, their ancestor Chi You was the great enemy of our Chinese nation.

Later, Qin destroyed Bashu, and Emperor Wu destroyed Baiyue, and he was level.

They have been dormant for hundreds of years!

But don't forget, Dashuai, Wuhu Chaohua is the first precedent for the Di people from the southwest to create the founding of the Wuhu country.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, there were records of rebellions in the southwest.

Nong Zhigao rebelled, and millions of Han people in the southwest were killed.

Even I, the Ming Dynasty, also had the rebellion of Yang Yinglong during the Divine Sect.

It can be said that because there is a lot of pressure from the northern barbarians. So we ignored the hidden dangers of the Southwest!

In all dynasties, the southwest was mainly pacified.

But these people, who are not of my race, how can they be of the same mind as my Central Plains Dynasty.

They are hibernating, just hoping to change the dynasty when their power becomes strong one day.

Nong Zhigao and Yang Yinglong's generation are by no means one or two isolated people.

In the southwest, there are many people who sit with the big dream of spring and autumn.

They had soldiers, guns, and the right to collect taxes in the area.

But these taxes were not handed over to the imperial court.

Dashuai, the southwest is my Chinese territory. The taxes paid by everyone should be paid to my Ming court.

What qualifications did they have, annexing the taxes that were supposed to belong to the imperial court.

Therefore, the old man promoted the reform of the land and returned to the stream.

Let the southwest, like other places on my Ming territory, respect the orders of the imperial court and pay taxes for the imperial court.

So!

I let my subordinate officials force them back, and there was only a one-time thunder sweep. In order to make the southwest return to the heart as soon as possible!

After the imperial army sweeps the southwest, we can set up a school there. Let the children there learn the classics of my Han family.

Let them speak Chinese and learn Chinese characters.

In this way, after a few generations, they will be no different from the Han people of our Central Plains.

At that time, the southwest will truly belong to us. Belong to the Ming Empire! ”

When the old fellow said that he was excited, he stood up and roared.

The door opened a crack, and the straight probe probed his head to look inside.

Li Xiao stood up and stretched out his hand to shake the old guy's hand.

The old guy has some truth in saying that the matter in the southwest should be solved little by little rather than slowly.

It is better to solve it at one time like this, and the imperial court will take back absolute control.

"Dashuai, now my Daming is no longer the Ming of the past. The population is already over 300 million people, and as the population grows, the land will definitely not be able to make ends meet.

The Ming Dynasty needs land, and it needs land dominated by my Han family.

It is precisely because of this that you have raised your army to the northwest. That's why you're desperately plundering your wealth overseas.

They all want to save a little more for future generations!

Now that the northern barbarians of the Ming Dynasty are no longer a scourge, they must focus on solving the tumor of the southwest Tusi.

Only in this way will my Ming Dynasty be the real ruler of the world. ”

"Mr. Sun, the kid just gave a salute. You're right, a generation has a generational mission.

What our generation can do well, don't leave it to the next generation. ”

"Old Meng Lang, I thought they would endure a few more days. Thinking about the past few days, I reported this matter to the marshal.

But I don't want to, those southwest toasts can't hold their breath like this.

But that's okay, now I'm at the peak of Bingfeng. In one fell swoop, the southwest was wiped out, just now. ”

"Right now! This time, I personally went to Guangxi and fought in the southwest. Let the Great Southwest become the real territory of my Ming Dynasty. ”

When the two most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty held hands together, the final solution to this rebellion in the southwest seemed to be doomed.

There was a rebellion in the southwest, and at this time the role of the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge was highlighted.

Columns of supplies needed at the front line are constantly transported to the front line by rail.

Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liangguang, immediately set up a wartime headquarters in Guangzhou.

Because the railway from Guangzhou to Nanning has been completed, and Nanning is still in the hands of the veteran Shang Zhixin.

Truckloads of military supplies, as well as a large number of officers and soldiers of the Second Division, rushed to Nanning by train.

In recent years, the Second Division has recruited soldiers, and most of them are southern soldiers. Moreover, Yuan Chonghuan's successor, his nephew Yuan Baozhong, under the instruction of Li Xiao, trained the Second Division into a very good mountain infantry.

Because the combat mission of the 2nd Division is in the south. Including the Great Southwest of this rebellion!

Thanks to the existence of the telegraph, the contact between the imperial court and Nanning and Chengdu was never interrupted.

When they learned about the movements of the imperial army, the rebels seemed to be divided.

Some of the rebels turned south, wanting to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Second Division and directly take Nanning.

Let the imperial court, there is no strong stronghold in Guangxi to use.

The other part of the rebels returned directly to Yungui's hometown.

For them, taking Liuzhou has already grabbed enough capital. Everyone doesn't have the pursuit of being an emperor, so it's better to go home with the spoils of war and live a life with a hot kang head for his wife and children.

There are also some rebels who seem to want to occupy Liuzhou and not leave.

In their opinion, there is food and drink, and there are women to play, and this is heaven.

In contrast, the rebels who attacked Nanning were somewhat pursuing.

At least, they knew that there was more money and food and more beautiful women in the city of Nanning.

On the airship, Li Xiao saw the rebels below marching on the ground like a sinuous black dragon.

Looking down with binoculars, these rebels basically have weapons in their hands. The better ones have rifles, and the worse ones have firearms.

A lot of the guns look like the ones they use on Phi Dao.

Even Li Xiao saw that the revolver rifle that had long been out of print in the Liao army.

Originally, this thing was a substitute that had to be drummed up, but I didn't expect that there are still people using it now.

This thing...... Can you still find the right bullet?

There were messy bullets shooting inside, and the bullets couldn't do anything against the airship flying at an altitude of five thousand meters.

I've never heard that bullets can shoot so high.

"A rabble! Dropping two Marine Corps divisions is like killing chickens with a knife. ”

Ao Ye next to him put down his binoculars and prepared to find some wine to drink.

"Although the equipment is not good, it is better than the number of people. Look at it, it's all over the mountains. I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of people! ”

Li Xiao also didn't understand, for Mao, these people like to wear black clothes.

Looking at it from above, it looks like a large group of ants moving on the ground before the rain.

Suddenly, Li Xiao saw a long string of orange fires flashing on the ground.

"Anti-aircraft guns!" Years of military experience have allowed Li Xiao to know what kind of weapon this is when he sees the tail flame.

Anti-aircraft guns, that's a standard airship killer.

Li Xiao felt his body sink down sharply, and the scene in front of him changed rapidly.

The airship, which had just been sailing below, immediately shook its huge body to block it underneath it.

The airship he was riding in climbed quickly, but the airship under him quickly smoked and then caught fire!

Artillery fire on the ground can easily hit an airship in flight.

Because the airbag of the airship is too big.

The scorching shell hits the airbag and immediately dissolves a large hole due to the heat.

If you're unlucky, you might even get a match.

Under a rapid air leak, the huge airbag will quickly dry up. Then it fell like a spinning top, until it finally slammed into the ground, turning into a large ball of burning fire.

Li Xiao never dreamed that the rebels would have anti-aircraft guns.

Just now, when the pilot reminded his commander that such an altitude would be shot down by anti-aircraft guns, Li Xiao still didn't care.

In the hands of the security forces, there will never be such a weapon as an anti-aircraft gun.

On the one hand, their characters are to maintain social order, and on the other hand, Li Xiao does not trust these guys who are no different from local ruffians and hooligans.

"Climb! Climb! Inside the cockpit, the anxious shouts of the driver were constantly heard.

The airship was climbing rapidly, but the airship that was hit in order to cover Li Xiao was falling rapidly.

Because of the rapid climb, Li Xiao had to sit in his seat.

Through the porthole, I saw the airship below falling in smoke.

The guys on the ground were shooting at the approaching pods with small arms.

The hearts of the people on the airship are tense, and there are handsome people sitting here. If this airship is shot down, the history of the Ming Dynasty will be rewritten.

"Fuck it, I didn't expect to be able to play with excitement.

Brother Xiao, I have to transfer the first division and fix these dogs. ”

Ao Ye also looked under the porthole, and when he saw the downed airship fall to the ground, raising a huge puff of smoke, he said hatefully.

"Hmmm! This time, let's do it ourselves, without pretending to be someone else's hand. Li Xiao was equally resentful.

The airship was still climbing rapidly, but there were no shells on the ground. I don't know if it's because there are no more shells, or if it's something else.

In short, Li Xiao narrowly escaped this catastrophe.

The airship finally climbed to an altitude of 8,000 meters, a height at which even the double two-five anti-aircraft guns could not do anything.

"Inform the troops that the rebels have anti-aircraft guns in their hands. Don't move airships in uncleared areas! ”

"No!"

The airship quickly left the airspace where the incident occurred and soon landed in Nanning City.

"Dashuai, why did you come in person. With his subordinates here, it's still no problem to repel the rebels! ”

On the airship landing field, a group of generals and officers rushed over.

"It's not about repelling, it's about being sure to annihilate everything.

The southwest is in chaos this time, and we must do everything we can in one battle. World War I, to solve the problem of southern Xinjiang.

Whoever rebels is overstabbed on the head and the house is on fire.

Those who did not participate in the rebellion were all exiled to Australia. Li Xiao looked coldly at the generals and officers present and gave a cold order.

Since the people here are going to rebel, they will simply turn this place into a primitive desolate land.

The scene that had just happened made Li Xiao make up his mind that he must solve the southwest issue.

And he was curious about how these guys, who had basically never fought before, got their hands on this thing as an anti-aircraft gun.

It's fucking going to operate!

Because not everyone can operate anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft gunners need to be trained.

In this, Li Xiu smelled a smell of conspiracy.

"No!" The generals and officers did not expect that the marshal would give such an order as soon as he arrived in Nanning.

"Subordinates see the big handsome!"

"Subordinates see the big handsome!"

Two major generals and officers in camouflage uniforms knelt on one knee in front of Li Xiao.

"It's out!

After all these years overseas, I have become a teacher.

I just don't know how the soldiers you are bringing are, the southwest region is high and densely forested. You were originally stationed in Southeast Asia, and you were all in the rainforest.

That's why I brought you here. ”

Li Xiao looked at Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin in front of him.

Geng Jingzhong is Geng Zhongming's grandson, and Shang Zhixin is Shang Zhixi's eldest son.

It is difficult for the Ming Army to mix with a division commander, so these old army leaders have set their sights on the navy.

However, the division commander of the Ming Army is far more powerful than the commander of the naval division.

Especially now, the Ming Army has begun to redress and mechanize. The navy, on the other hand, is more primitive for me.

Tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled guns and anything, they don't even have large rocket artillery.

After listening to Lu Zhu's report, Li Xiao was eager to try his hand at the Marines.

So, Geng Jingzhong, who was stationed in Java, was transferred. There is also Shang Zhixin, who was stationed in Burma, who returned to Daming to quell the rebellion.

"Please rest assured, big marshal, see how your subordinates destroy these rebels." The short and sturdy Shang Zhixin had a black and red face full of pimples.

In contrast, Geng Jingzhong is much whiter.

This has something to do with the fact that he has just been transferred to the Marine Corps!

When the Chechens were exterminated in Uralsk last year, this guy was a military liaison officer.

Now he has taken Li Xiu's path and gone to the Marine Corps as a division commander.

How to say it, it can be regarded as mixed with the rank of major general.

"Have all your troops arrived?"

"Returning to the marshal, the troops are landing in Qinzhou one after another.

We heard that Nanning was under siege, and each brought a regiment to support. The rest of the troops, estimated to have another seven or eight days, should also drive to Nanning. ”

"Hmmm! Yes, it took only half a month to receive the order. Able to quickly gather troops and rush to quell the rebellion. That's a good speed! ”

Li Xiao nodded, in fact, in this half a month, you have to count the time to travel by boat.

In such a short period of time, it is necessary to gather troops and transfer ships. Carrying equipment and a series of other things is actually quite good.

Li Xiao was even a little skeptical about whether it was true that Lu Zhu said that the Marines were sloppy and had low combat effectiveness.

Maybe!

This may be the case with troops stationed in some remote places. After all, when the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the quality of the chief official is not high, such a thing will happen.

"See the big handsome!" Yuan Baozhong stood straight in the face of Li Xiao, raised his right hand and saluted.

This is the difference between the army and the navy, even if the officers of the army see Li Xiao, they do not have to kneel and salute.

"The second division is the main force this time, after exterminating most of the Tusi. You're going to have to stay here for a long time, and it's a heavy burden. ”

"Boss, my subordinates have received some ...... Some bad intelligence. ”

"Oh?"
