Speaking of which, this is also the reason for the General Staff Headquarters. The General Staff Headquarters, which has always calculated every plan, miscalculated this time. It originally thought that the firearms brigade was the target for everyone to compete for, and then assigned several regiments to the two divisions and one brigade. That is, or it can be adjusted according to the situation on the front line. Military plans are sometimes too thorough and it is not a good thing. Once something changes, everyone will not know what to do.
I just wanted to liberalize the army, but I didn't want to let the firearms brigade be abandoned in Chaicheng. Faced with this situation, brigade commander Shen Ping'an felt a little angry, "Okay, since you don't want to play with us, then Let’s just play by ourselves.”
What came this time was a brigade of firearms troops. Although it was the most ordinary brigade, with only 15,000 people, one-third of them were firecrackers. At worst, they would be used to attack the city, and it would not be possible. I believe that you can make meritorious deeds on your own, but we can’t?
After sending people to convey the news to the rear, Shen Ping'an called several of his regiment leaders and talked about attacking alone tomorrow. Decisive soon won everyone's support. And this time they chose the right target. It was the capital city of Qingzhou, the first place to be governed, approximately near Maduo City in Qinghai in later generations.
In this way, nearly 150,000 Chinese troops were divided into four groups, advancing in four directions. Behind them, there were more than twice the number of civilians, more than 300,000, responsible for transporting military supplies. At the same time, there were also people who had been mobilized before Two hundred thousand road construction crews.
What Tang Ao meant was to build roads while fighting and advancing. In this way, logistics could be guaranteed and major events later would not be delayed.
The 200,000 road construction workers in the early stage are the backbone. After entering Qingzhou, they will continue to recruit people along the way. The people here are not poor, so we can just find something for them to do. As long as people are not lazy, it is enough to support their families. , after surviving this winter, the fields can be allocated to them in the next spring, and the people's lives will be equal to hope.
Including civilians, Dahua mobilized more than 600,000 people at once, and the movement was quite big. But it was not until the day after the fall of Chaicheng that news of such a big movement spread. .This is because the other Fourth Route Army has made some moves, so it can't be hidden from the people of the world.
Due to traffic constraints at the time, Daliang City only received the news three days later. This was despite the death of a fast horse, and the news was only delivered to the palace within this time period.
When Shun Wang Tang Jia saw this military intelligence, he was dumbfounded on the spot.
Didn't you already give Hua 50 million taels of silver and 12,000 carriages of food? Those were things that were scraped together after a lot of hard work. Why did you still accept the things and not do anything? Do you still have the face? Still have it? Are you shameless?
Tang Jia was very angry and felt that he had been tricked by Hua. Kong Fu looked at the news and his face turned pale. For no other reason, he thought of one thing. Cui Ke, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of Qingzhou, should I have just arrived in Qingzhou not long ago. I am afraid that I don’t have a clear understanding of the situation there, and I don’t even know the people there.
Can such a person command a large army to block the front of the Dahua army?
Suddenly, Kong Fu felt that changing generals at this time seemed like a bad move. It would only speed up the occupation of Qingzhou by the Dahua army, and all this was caused by the struggle for power between him and His Highness.
Of course, at this time, Kong Fu would not admit this. "Your Highness, it is meaningless to blame anyone now. It is better to find a way to support Qingzhou. The Chinese army cannot occupy it, otherwise, we will We have completely lost contact with Zangzhou."
The words woke up the dreamer, and Tang Jia's face became even more ugly as he said, "Yes, this is not one state but involves two states. Kong Yushi, do you have any good ideas?
"This... this, if that doesn't work, we can only ask for help from those foreign races." Kong Fu said this after holding back for a long time.
"Asking for help from foreign tribes?" Tang Jia was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't hear clearly.
"Come here, bring me a map." Kong Fu thought for a while and shouted outside, and soon a young eunuch sent him a map of Daqian. Then Kong Fu pointed to the location of Qingzhou on the map and said: " Your Highness, please see, it goes without saying that Qingzhou is bounded by Hua to the north and Zangzhou to the west. But it also has Dianzhou and Shuzhou to the south, and Ezhou and Xiangzhou to the east. The geographical location can be said to be very important. Once this place is occupied by Dahua, life in South Vietnam will not be easy. Not only that, if the Japanese and the Xiongnu want to capture Xiangzhou and Shuzhou in the future, they will also have to see if China will agree. Then may I ask, Your Highness? , is this what the aliens want to see?”
After pondering for a long time, Tang Jia shook his head and said, "I probably don't hope."
"Yes, Your Highness, before the foreign races completely carve up the southern land, they absolutely do not want anyone to get involved, especially the Chinese country that keeps saying that those who are not our race will have different hearts. This means that we all have a common ground." Your Highness, this is a good thing."
Hearing Kong Fu say this excitedly, Tang Jia became even more confused. How could being beaten be a good thing?
Seeing that Tang Jia was still confused, Kong Fu cursed in his heart, but he still had to explain: "Your Highness, think about it. We have considered borrowing the power of foreign races to deal with China before. But this opportunity They have to wait until the Xiongnu captures Shuzhou before they appear. But now, Hua's initiative to attack is tantamount to letting things break out in advance. At this time, even for self-protection, these aliens must fight against Hua's Being an enemy, isn’t this a good thing?”
"Well, to put it this way, it's really a good thing. But what can we do?" Tang Jia asked, seeming to understand a little bit.
"Your Highness, what we have to do is to send a letter to South Vietnam, the Huns and Japan, telling them about the dangers of China, and calling on them to deal with China for their own benefit. And as long as they have this righteousness, they will know what to do. "Kong Fu laughed and spoke, and the more he spoke, the more confident his face became.
"Is this...is this enough?" Tang Jia asked as if he couldn't believe it.
"Yes, that's enough. After all, we are now the orthodoxy of the world. Our verbal support is equivalent to giving them great justice. For their own interests, they will definitely fight against China, and our goal will be achieved. "Kong Fu's face showed a look of success.
"Then what do we need to do?" Tang Jia asked.
"Nothing needs to be done. We can't send troops, we can't anger the Dahua army, and we can't let them feel that we have any possibility of threatening them. Only in this way can they fight the alien race to the death. In this way, Only then can we truly reap the benefits.”
Kong Fu is a ruthless person, and he is also a person who is used to playing tricks on others. Now his words are very similar to his personal style of dealing with things.
"Okay, let's do it this way. Yushi Kong will write a letter immediately and send someone to send it out." Tang Jia breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Didn't he just lose Qingzhou and even Zangzhou? But as long as he can
It is all worthwhile to consume the strength of the Dahua Army.
When the opponent is weak, it is time for him to lead his army to regain all the lost territory.
Tang Jia's thoughts at this time were quite similar to Taizu's idea of saving people and losing land, so that both people and land can be saved.
But even Tang Jia and Kong Fu could see this, so how could Tang Ao and his staff headquarters not see this?
Their goal this time is only Qingzhou, not even Zangzhou. They will only consider other things after the situation in Qingzhou stabilizes.
Speaking of which, Qingzhou was very poor due to its geographical location and climate. Even foreigners looked down upon such a place. Tang Ao had no direct benefits from occupying this place.
But he still took action here. What Tang Ao wanted was to use this place as a springboard, a transportation hub from which he could attack everywhere.
And before he fully grasps this place, how can he attack everywhere? Will he find trouble for himself?
In Daliang City, Kong Fu quickly wrote three letters and sent people to South Vietnam, the Huns and Japan respectively, and then stood still. In Daliang City, it seemed that the news had not been received. What should everyone do?
He didn't even do anything to condemn the Chinese state. It seemed as if he was afraid of irritating the Chinese state and causing them to point the finger at him.
...
Qingzhou.
After Cui Ke, the new commander-in-chief, learned that the Dahua army had entered Qingzhou, he immediately wrote a rescue letter and then sent a fast horse to Daliang City. After that, the others stayed in Guicheng.
That's right, Trek hasn't arrived in Xanadu yet, he has just entered Guicheng in the land of Qingzhou. All this is because the officials in the cities along the way are too enthusiastic. When he learned that the new commander-in-chief was coming
, all of them were extremely hospitable, and all kinds of gifts were brought to Trek in front of him.
In order to obtain the position of Chief Soldier, Trek had to give away most of his family property and only managed to collect 600,000 taels. Now that he got what he wanted, of course he had to find a way to get the capital back, and by the way, he had to make a lot of money.
Just make a fortune.
The saying that people who have been officials for thousands of years are just for wealth refers to people like Cui Ke.
Just when he was enjoying being admired by everyone and counting money until his hands were cramped, unexpectedly, bad news came that the Chinese army had actually entered Qingzhou and had already lost several cities.
When the news came, it really frightened Cui Ke. He came to Qingzhou to seek wealth, not to lose his life.
Besides, even if there is going to be a war, you should give him time to straighten out the following relationships. Now you don’t even know what his subordinates look like. There are only a bunch of names without any emotional color. How can you let him command them?
How can others become enemies of the Great Chinese Army?
