Chapter 243: The Aggrieved Luo Outline (The big chapter is given to Chunnuan Kyushu)
In the upper reaches of Heilongjiang, the Huai Navy is preparing for the next major counterattack against the Chita and Moon Lake areas.
This time Dong Shuheng spent a lot of money, even using the strength of the Taihang column, which was thousands of miles apart.
Of course, the Taihang Column's main purpose of going north was to disrupt Mongolia. It entered the upper reaches of Heilongjiang and joined the Fourth Division to attack the Russians. It was just a matter of picking up grass and hunting rabbits.
This time the second regiment of the Taihang Column fought well in the north. Dong Shuheng has already sent a letter to commend them.
He ordered Lu Guoyi's second regiment to be changed into the second regiment of Huaihai Navy Cavalry.
The level of the army was raised to a higher level. Lu Guoyi suddenly became the brigade commander, and the officers under his command also improved accordingly. Naturally, morale increased greatly. Of course, some people were jealous, but who told others to fight well?
The most important thing is that he now has people under his command. Dong Shuheng gave him the establishment of two ranger regiments and asked him to form these two ranger regiments with Mongolians as the main ones.
In the Huaihai Navy, the cavalry is divided into dragoons and rangers. Cavalry like the Second Regiment, all equipped with lances, are called dragoons.
The Rangers do not have such equipment, they still use the traditional equipment of the Mongolian cavalry.
Dong Shuheng still doesn't completely trust these Mongols, and at the same time, he has no way to cross the grassland to send the equipment up.
On the grasslands, transportation has always been a big problem. In history, the Central Plains dynasties’ conquests on the grasslands were often hampered by logistical transportation.
The reason why Nerchinsk City was chosen as the military center of the Huaihai Navy this time was to facilitate transportation. Nowadays, shipping is still the most convenient and efficient method of transportation.
Although it can only be transported in summer, in winter when Heilongjiang is frozen, communication can only be done by sleigh.
But as for the transportation volume in the summer months, if planned well, it can meet the needs. Because the transportation volume of ships is large, and it is relatively safe and stable.
Dong Shuheng did not dare to transport a large amount of equipment to the Qing army through the areas controlled by the Qing army along the dilapidated roads.
Moreover, time was running out, so Lu Guoyi's men could only replenish some ammunition after arriving at Nerchinsk.
As for the Mongols under him, they can only become rangers first.
When new equipment arrives next year, those with better performance can be converted into dragoons first.
The separate setting of dragoons and rangers will artificially create levels in the army. But the Mongols just accept this, so that those Mongolians can be more motivated to perform actively and strive hard.
If everyone is the same, wouldn't it mean practicing egalitarianism and eating from the same big pot?
Dong Shuheng has recently been staying in Jiangning to preside over military reforms while preparing to send troops to Crimea.
Liu Qingnan has arrived at the Huaihai Navy training base in Dafeng. More than 6,000 militiamen selected from the militia through skill competitions have been assembled.
What awaits them is Liu Qingnan's devilish training. Liu Qingnan, a former instructor, has always been known for his strict training.
At first, Dong Shuheng always wanted to train Liu Qingnan to be his military deputy, but he did not expect that he was born to be a fierce general.
This kind of person is only suitable for leading troops on the front line and fighting. If there is no battle, he will feel uncomfortable all over.
But the most indispensable thing Dong Shuheng has at his disposal is such a mallet.
I don’t know if I have taken too much care of myself, which has caused the people below me to lack thinking and their brains have not been exercised. Most of the generals are just sticks.
Even though I finally got a historical figure, Peng Yulin, I couldn't take it apart and use it.
In fact, Dong Shuheng prefers to be a hands-off shopkeeper, as long as he can grasp the overall situation.
But the reality made it impossible for him to do it. They were about to get married, and the time he spent with Wei Yuzhen was still limited.
Although it is said that men and women in this era do not need to experience such things as falling in love, they can just buy a ticket and get on the bus.
But Dong Shuheng still feels that it would be better to get on the bus after having an experience of getting along with him.
Just like there must be a prelude before **, so that you can have a better experience.
Recently, Dong Shuheng has not been out in Jiangning, and he also wants to spend more time with Wei Yuzhen.
Dong Shuheng has been accompanying Wei Yuzhen in establishing the normal school.
I don’t know if Wei Yuzhen told Yang Ximei about that. Whenever Dong Shuheng appeared, Yang Ximei would deliberately avoid it.
The location of the Women's Normal School was located in the original Dongwangfu. This Dongwangfu could originally house more than 10,000 people. It was only a very easy matter to install another Women's Normal School inside.
Moreover, this is also the headquarters of the Women's Federation and the location of the Women's Aid Station. Anyway, it is full of women.
In this way, it is very convenient to place the Women's Normal School here. Parents of students and relatives of teachers can rest assured.
Now that we have a school venue, the next step is the issue of teachers and students.
As for teachers, there are really not many women who are educated and willing to work.
Only Yang Ximei could mobilize the people of the Women's Federation, and Dong Shuheng used his power to mobilize officials within the Huaihai Navy system.
Find out which family has more educated family members, and mobilize them to contribute to education.
Dong Shuheng has already set an example in this regard. The president’s wife-to-be is out doing things, so how can the officials below have any scruples?
As for worrying that you don't have enough knowledge, it doesn't matter. Training primary school teachers does not require advanced knowledge.
The key is that the female teachers trained must be sensible and caring. As for the knowledge, as long as it is higher than that of primary school graduates, it is enough.
In addition, the source of students is also a problem. Who is willing to send his daughter to study in a normal school? The key is to teach and do things after she has studied.
In the eyes of many people, this is just a matter of exposing women to the public, which is really not advisable.
In this way, this first batch of students also had to find a way to make arrangements. If someone's daughter in the Huaihai Haijun system had some basic knowledge, she could be sent directly to school without taking the exam.
Yang Ximei can recruit some from the original women's camp. She can also recruit some from the female workers in the factory.
Finally, there is the compilation of textbooks. There has never been a normal college before. Now that it is newly opened, the textbooks must be compiled now.
Dong Shuheng believed that he was not capable of dictating the teaching materials directly like some time travellers.
Besides, he didn't study in a normal school.
This matter still had to be left to these women. Fu Shanxiang was brought over by Yang Ximei to take charge of this matter.
This female No. 1 scholar is not fake, she still has some cultural background.
She sorted out and compiled the content related to education in the existing classics of various schools of thought.
Dong Shuheng named this book "Education".
There are a lot of discussions about teaching and educating people and how to learn in "The Analects of Confucius". Besides, there is also the classic "Encouraging Learning".
Dong Shuheng only had a partial understanding of these, and the ancient prose he had learned had been returned to the teacher long ago.
After time travel, Dong Shuheng did not prepare to take the imperial examination of the Qing Dynasty, so he basically read no books on this subject.
But Fu Shanxiang, who had passed the first prize in the examination, knew these books by heart.
Then we took Huai Haijun's current primary school textbooks, adapted them, added depth, and added expanded content.
This is a set of textbooks for primary school teachers.
It is not tiring for men and women to work together. Dong Shuheng accompanies Wei Yuzhen to handle school affairs during the day, and has to deal with official documents when he returns home at night.
In this way, he didn't feel tired, but felt unusually fulfilled.
Of course, Dong Shuheng did not forget to pay attention to the movements of the Taiping Army.
The Taiping Army is now blooming on three sides, but they are destined to fail because the Taiping Army has already declined after the fall of Tianjing.
Without unified leadership, the Taiping Army was in disarray, and no one could unify these three forces.
Huang Hao and Hong Tianfugui followed Luo Gang to fight in Henan. Relying on Luo Gang's commanding talent, they won several battles.
However, Huang Hao wanted to go to Luoyang early, which caused great interference to Luo Gang's command.
What Luo Dingyun means is that you can't run directly to Henan Prefecture. This strategic intention is too obvious.
Now the governor of Henan, Yinggui, had reacted. He transferred back the troops that had wiped out the Nian bandits, and took up command in Kaifeng. He deployed heavy troops in Ruzhou and Kaifeng. He also asked the two governments to recruit 20,000 regiments each to help defend the city.
Luo Gangluo abandoned Runing Mansion and marched northward, storming Ruzhou Mansion fiercely for fifteen days.
The military rations collected by the army in Runing have been severely depleted.
So Luo Gang prepared to go east to Guide Mansion, preparing to join up with the Nian army entrenched there. After the team grew stronger, they would join forces to attack Yinggui.
However, Huang Hao believed that this was the opposite. He should insist on attacking Ruzhou, entering Henan Prefecture, and occupying Luoyang. By then, he would be able to gain momentum.
Huang Hao believes that Luoyang served as the capital during the Han and Tang Dynasties and had a high status in the minds of the Han people.
At that time, if Hong Tianfugui could board the plane in Luoyang, he would definitely be able to occupy a great position.
Now if we go to join the Nian Army, we will have no way out if we are blocked in the east. The most important thing is that to the east of Guide Mansion is the Huaihai Navy.
Huang Hao now just wants to stay away from Huai Haijun. He feels that Dong Shuheng is a natural defeater of him.
Luo Dayou is also a very stubborn person, otherwise he would not have publicly refuted Yang Xiuqing in court.
In the end, Huang Hao had to move out of Hong Tian Fugui. Aren't you, Luo Gang, a loyal minister?
Then let's go to His Highness the Crown Prince for comment. Hong Tianfugui is led by Huang Hao every day, so he naturally listens to Huang Hao's words.
In the end, Luo Gang had no choice but to continue attacking Ruzhou.
In the end, Ruzhou was captured, but Luo Gang's men suffered heavy casualties, especially the old brothers who suffered heavy losses in this battle.
In the history of later generations, some people commented on why the Taiping Army could not defeat the Hunan Army in the later period, but why it forced the Hunan Army to fight in the early stage.
Why the gap between the front and back is so big? In the end, it boils down to the fact that the old brothers suffered heavy losses when the Taiping Army was in internal strife. The remaining old brothers from Guangdong and Guangxi were all taken away by Shi Dakai to work alone.
Therefore, in the later period, Chen Yucheng could not stop the Hunan Army's attack in the west.
Luo Dayou also knows this. The old brother in his hand is his sea-fixing needle, and every loss is less.
Those subordinates who were held hostage while fleeing were not strong-willed and weak in fighting ability. No matter how many they were, they would not have much effect.
Although he finally captured Ruzhou this time and recovered all the lost troops, the combat effectiveness of his men was greatly reduced.
Luo Dayou also knew that Yinggui would not leave much time for him. This Henan governor Yinggui was not a loser, he still had some ability.
Henan Prefecture once again recruited 40,000 people for training.
The Green Camp and Fubiao Camp in Yinggui's hands have not suffered any losses yet.
The only people Luo Gangda defeated in Ruzhou were local Tuan Yongs.
Yinggui took full advantage of the landlords' fear of the Taiping Army and used Tuan Yong to consume the Taiping Army.
The last time we attacked Ruzhou Luo Outline, we used our old brothers. What about this time we attacked Henan Prefecture?
At this time, Luo Gangyang didn't have many old brothers left in his hands.
Compared to Luo Outline, Shi Dakai was much smoother.
After returning to Guangxi, he took advantage of Lao Chongguang's inattention and occupied Guilin, the provincial capital.
Most of Guangxi is poor and poor. Guilin is one of the few wealthy places. Shi Dakai attacked all over Guilin and quickly occupied all counties and offices.
We are both from Guangxi, so in Guangxi, the Taiping Army did not receive much rejection.
Moreover, Shi Dakai accepted Hong Xiuquan's lesson and was relatively gentle towards the landlords.
Not only did they not crack down hard, but they recruited local landlords to join the Taiping Army.
Even some chieftain leaders, Shi Dakai, refused to accept anyone. This allowed his subordinates to grow rapidly. From more than 10,000 people to more than 50,000 people, Lao Chongguang, who returned from Wuzhou, did not expect to bump into such a person.
giant.
The five thousand Guangxi officers and soldiers under him were defeated by Shi Dakai in one battle. If Luo Bingzhang hadn't led his men from Hunan to Shi Dakai's retreat, Shi Dakai would have taken advantage of the victory to capture Wuzhou.
Luo Bingzhang learned that Shi Dakai had fled from Hunan to Guangxi, and knew that he could not escape his involvement.
Therefore, the Hunan Army was urgently ordered to attack Guilin. This was not the first time that the Hunan Army entered Guangxi. When the Taiping Army first rebelled, the Hunan Army entered Guilin to fight.
