Chapter 14: Bullying
With the efforts of the top talents of the Ming Dynasty, the education, science and technology, industry, agriculture, and even the military of the Ming Dynasty are all showing explosive growth.
It's just five years, and the people of Daming already feel that they don't know Daming.
From toothbrushes, clocks, to automobiles, highways, railways, power stations, and network base stations, Daming has carried out construction.
Although limited to production, many things are not fully popularized among the people, but there are newspapers and broadcasts, and those people know these things at least even if they have not used them.
In addition to these things, Liu Bowen also frantically made a batch of satellites, and then asked Lao Zhu to exchange a batch of rocket launchers and send them to the sky.
It can be said unceremoniously that today's Da Ming, for the top generals, communication is no longer a problem, even if they call the back of the earth, a phone call can immediately know their situation.
It is estimated that if it weren't for the fact that it had been too long, Liu Bowen would have to put up the network satellites, so that those generals could directly broadcast live when they were fighting abroad.
In addition to development, Daming did not stop fighting.
Xu Da trained a modern elite army of 200,000, of which 30,000 were given to Lan Yu, so that he and Zhu Di could go together to destroy the Wa Kingdom.
Then he gave Mu Ying 20,000 yuan and asked him to go to Pingyunnan, gave Tang He 50,000 yuan, and asked him to go to Pingbeiyuan, and then by the way, those nomadic tribes near Beiyuan were also leveled.
Of course, this nomadic ethnic group near the Northern Yuan Dynasty includes but is not limited to Jurchen, Goryeo and other forces.
In addition to these people, Xu Da also allocated 50,000 people to Fu Youde and Feng Sheng respectively, so that the two of them could fight south along the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
In short, as long as you are next to Da Ming, then you are Da Ming.
If you know each other, then honestly merge into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and be an honest Ming person.
If you don't know each other, then the modern army of the Ming Dynasty will teach you to know each other, beat you first, and then let you merge into the Ming Dynasty.
As for the remaining 50,000 troops, they are the elite of these 200,000 troops, and Xu Da is not willing to give them away.
It's not that Xu Da is afraid that the generals who go out will have any other thoughts, but to conquer the world, and the 200,000 army is far from enough.
Therefore, Xu Da wants to use the most elite army of 50,000 to disperse, and then use the old to bring the new model, and then quickly train a group of elite soldiers.
In this way, when you go back to the Ming Dynasty to conquer the world, you don't have to worry about the lack of soldiers.
By the way, it is worth mentioning that the modern army of the Ming Dynasty is not just talking about their individual equipment.
These modern armies are equipped with a considerable number of tanks, artillery vehicles, armored vehicles, and reconnaissance drones.
It can be said unceremoniously that Daming sent troops this time to bully people.
The only regret is that the price of the aircraft is too high, and Xu Da thinks that it is too much to use the Air Force to bully people at this stage, and there is really no need to forcibly buy fighter jets.
Therefore, more than a dozen planes built by Daming in recent years have stayed in the capital as training aircraft, constantly training pilots for Daming, and did not choose to go out with the army.
……
Today's Da Ming no longer runs on two legs.
There are a total of 17 automobile factories in Daming, which are producing vehicles day and night for this war, and now the output has long been overflowing.
Therefore, these Ming soldiers basically went out on troop carriers.
In other words, the luxury of the equipment of the Ming army today has far exceeded the equipment of the Second World War in later generations.
Tang He, who went north to Mongolia, sat on the off-road vehicle, although the off-road vehicle used the most advanced adjustable damping shock absorber, but because the road conditions were too poor, he still had some liver pain on the road.
But fortunately, after taking that injection of life-prolonging medicine, his body has gradually become a little younger.
Otherwise, if he is still the old bone from before, I am afraid that before he reaches the territory of the Northern Yuan, he will be turned upside down by this car.
"This road, we still have to hurry up and repair it......"
Tang He sighed helplessly, on the road just out of Nanjing, the newly built asphalt road of Yishui, sitting in the car is called a comfortable one.
It's just a pity that this asphalt road was only built to Hebei, and out of Hebei, you can only take the dirt road.
But this is also no way is that Daming has tried its best to build infrastructure in recent years, but the time is too short, and Daming is completely built from scratch, so it is already very good to be able to pave to Hebei in such a short period of time.
"I've heard Mr. Qingtian mention a few words about this."
Hearing Tang He say that the road should be repaired, Tang He's deputy general interjected and said: "Mr. Qingtian said that the road construction of the Ming Dynasty is divided into five plans and ten years. ”
"The five-year plan refers to the construction of asphalt roads on the basis of the original official roads in Daming in five years, so that asphalt roads run through the entire Ming Dynasty."
"As for the ten-year plan, Mr. Qingtian is talking about using ten years to build roads relying on these main roads, so that these roads can be paved in every corner of Daming."
"Five-year and ten-year plans?"
Tang He calculated a little in his mind, then nodded and said, "According to this time, the time is a little rushed." ”
"However, my Daming's technology is still developing, and when the technology is completely popularized, the construction of highways can be much faster, and it is not a problem."
Seeing that Tang He was coming to talk, the deputy general asked by the way: "By the way, Dashuai, how are we going to fight this battle?" ”
"The Sword Comes"
"How to fight, fight with your eyes closed."
Hearing the adjutant general's words, Tang He's expression was a little subtle.
What do they have in their army?
There are more than a dozen pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, mortars, walkie-talkies, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and even tanks.
And what are the remnants of the Mongolian remnants of the Northern Yuan?
Bow and arrow? Steed? Amazing, add another fire gun with a range of less than 200 meters.
What kind of war is this, pure bullying.
Not to mention the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who have now been driven back to Mongolia by the Ming Dynasty, even at the peak of the Yuan Dynasty, Genghis Khan came on horseback with the most elite Mongolian army, and Tang Heneng took them all away in a wave, not to mention these Mongolian remnants who had long lost their blood.
When the deputy general heard Tang He say this, he knew that Tang He had misunderstood what he meant, so he immediately laughed, and then said, "Dashuai, you misunderstood what I meant." ”
"I don't ask how to fight them, but how far this fight will go."
This adjutant general is a talent who is proficient in modern weapons specially trained by Xu Da, and he knows best about the power of these modern weapons in their army, except for Xu Datang and a group of people who have been to the long river of history.
So he knew very well, he knew very well that there was absolutely no ability to resist in the slightest on this expedition to the Northern Yuan, so the only question was how far they wanted to fight, or to put it bluntly, how many people they wanted to kill.
"It depends."
Tang He shook his head and didn't say much.
To be honest, he felt that this battle would not last long, not to mention that Beiyuan had lost its bloodiness now, even if their bloodiness still existed, what could they do?
In the face of an incomprehensible gap, the longer they hold out, the greater the casualties.
In other words, Tang He wished they had held on a little longer, so that when the Ming Dynasty turned back and accepted the Northern Yuan, there would be less trouble.
Therefore, this battle, in Tang He's view, is largely just a formality, and then bring the royal family and nobles of the Northern Yuan back to the territory of the Ming Dynasty to be confined, and then send people to take over the Northern Yuan.
And they went out with the army this time, in addition to some soldiers carrying modern equipment, there were also many grassroots officials trained by Li Shanchang and them, in order to smoothly take over the Northern Yuan forces.
After all, no matter how strong they are, there is no need to kill everyone.
And after the Ming Dynasty successfully takes over these Mongols, then these Mongols will be the people of the Ming Dynasty, and it is really unnecessary to kill themselves.
That's right, Tang He is so inflated now, and before the war is fought, he already regards the empire as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty.
However, he did have the capital to swell, and after learning that there was a large army stationed in Gyeongju in the Northern Yuan, Tang He directly led the army straight away.
Today, the guardian of Gyeongju is Nahachu, a descendant of Mu Huali, one of Genghis Khan's four masters.
Naha has the style of his ancestors and is one of the few famous generals in the Northern Yuan Dynasty today.
In the early years of the war, Lao Zhu once captured Nahachu once, and at that time, Lao Zhu admired Nahachu's ability and wanted to recruit him.
As a result, Naha haunted and agreed, and later Lao Zhu Nian let him go after he became a famous general.
Then he became Daming's henchman, with tens of thousands of cavalry, and he gave Daming a cold.
Especially in the fifth year of Hongwu, this guy burned hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass in Daming in one go, and this battle made Daming feel distressed enough.
But even so, Lao Zhu still does not change his original intention towards Nahachu and wants to recruit Nahachu.
If it follows the normal historical development, after Nahachu was defeated by the Ming army, he finally had no way out and surrendered to Lao Zhu.
Of course, the reason why Lao Zhu wants to recruit Naha so much is that cherishing his ability is part, and the bigger reason is that Naha appears to control the entire Northeast Land.
Recruiting him means that the entire Northeast will be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that there is naturally no need to be so troublesome now, not to mention the Northeast land, now in the whole world, Daming can knock down wherever he likes, and he is not allowed to fake others at all.
Therefore, this attack on Gyeongju, if Naha is acquainted, it is undoubtedly best to surrender honestly after the defeat, so that the Mongolian people can reduce a lot of useless resistance.
But if he didn't know each other, then Tang He wouldn't be polite to him, and he would definitely cut him directly.
Nahachu seems to have received some news, knowing that the current Ming Dynasty is a little weird, so the gates of Gyeongju are closed, obviously wanting to rely on the city wall to hold on, and there is no trace of the intention of fighting the Ming army head-on.
But...... Modern warfare, you have a city wall and a fart?
