65 kilometers west of Hami City, an ancient city standing on both sides of the Baiyang River in Sibao Village, Wubao Township, is the ancient city of Lavchok. It was the Yiwulu City of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Nazhi County of the Tang Dynasty. From the establishment of the city in the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty
Set up a county.
The third pirate regiment, which is the regiment led by Mo Zuo before, is currently heading west out of Hami City and stationed here. It is mainly to prevent the Heshuote people from Turpan from attacking Hami City.
Dahemu City was a military garrison in the Yuan Dynasty. Currently the headquarters and the first regiment of the First Division of the Infantry Army are stationed here.
Huicheng is the residence of King Hami, which was passed down for fifteen dynasties in the Ming Dynasty. He died at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It is currently the headquarters of the Second Regiment of the Infantry Division.
Barkol Hancheng is a small city built by the Third Regiment of the Infantry Division, where the Third Division is currently stationed.
The First Infantry Division is stationed to the west of Hami and protects the new city of Hami in three ancient cities in the shape of a Zigzag.
This deployment can protect the security of Hami New City.
Unable to pass through Hami New City, it completely blocks the possibility of Mongolia from Mongolia entering Gansu.
Of course, they were determined to be evil and tried to let Gushi Khan go to Lop Nur and enter the grassland belt of the Qaidam Basin, trying to capture Xining and the Hehuang Valley and open a second passage into eastern Gansu.
But currently, the thirteen counties in Xining and the Hehuang Valley are all under the control of the Qinghai Cavalry Division and the Us Tibetan Army, totaling more than 60,000 troops. All thirteen counties have built city walls made of stone and cement.
Although this area only has 15,000 square kilometers, it firmly blocks the passage from the Snow Area and the Western Region back into the Han Area.
Yang Fan deployed the First Infantry Division here, not only intending to control the chokepoint, but also intending to attack the Urumqi area from the west, thereby controlling the Tianshan North Road.
Then they waited for an opportunity to move westward to the Ili Valley. After controlling the Ili Valley, the entire situation changed.
The area north of the Tianshan Mountains is connected with the Komodo area of the Altai Mountains.
The terrain in the southern part of the Tianshan Mountains is closed, and the Yarkand Khanate is a turtle in the urn. As long as the Island Three Regiment seals Yanqi City on the edge of Bosten Lake, they will be blocked in southern Xinjiang. They can't get out anywhere. Don't even think about sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
, taking advantage of the battle between Yang Fan and the Mongolian ancients, to take advantage of the situation and rob them.
Before the end of winter this year, the cavalry army will take advantage of the fact that the four Mongolian tribes in the desert are unable to march and fight in the winter, and seize the time to go north to the Great Lakes area in western Outer Mongolia to eliminate the Zasak Tuhan tribe.
Then move westward and deal with the Tuva people in Tangnu Ulianghai in the beginning of spring.
Spring is the most difficult time for the Mongolians. They and their animals have survived the winter and are all skinny. At this time, they are at their weakest.
If you want to regain your strength, you need the nourishment of summer.
At that time, the cavalry army started from Tangnu Ulianghai and encircled the south. The mounted infantry of the infantry army set out from the Ili Valley and encircled the north, compressing the four Mongolian tribes in the desert in the Qihe area of Lake Balkhash.
That was the moment for Yang Fan to launch a decisive battle. Yang Fan decided to completely defeat them by summer.
After the four Mongolian tribes in the Desert are resolved, the next step will be the Kazakh Khanate in the Amu Darya and Mesopotamia rivers.
The Kazakhs are the mixed descendants of the Mongolian Kelei tribe and various ethnic groups in the Western Regions. They are Yang Fan's last powerful enemies in Central Asia.
After solving them, Yang Fan's cavalry army and infantry army can march westward, cross the Ural River and enter Europe.
The train stopped at Hami Station, and Yang Fan had no intention of going to the city to live.
Now the city is a big construction site. It's messy, dusty, noisy, and it's hard to rest. He and his family live in the car.
At night, the train stops at the outermost of the five parallel railway lines at Hami Station to avoid affecting the passage of other trains.
The fourth carriage of the additional special car is Yang Fan's accommodation carriage. These carriages are all double-decker. Since there are no tunnels on this railway, the height can be as high as possible.
The lower floor is an entire living room, where Yang Fan meets Mo Table and his wife. The upper floor is the bedroom, living room, and study.
It was already dark, and sections of poplar wood were burning in the fireplace. The red firelight illuminated the living room outside the bedroom. After dinner, Yang Fan and his wife habitually sat around the stove, drinking tea and chatting.
At this time, Yang Fan would talk to his wives about various trivial matters in the Yang Mansion, and when he was in a good mood, he would tell them bedtime stories to kill the time before going to bed.
Dongxiang was looking at the fireplace, paying attention to the roasted sweet potatoes buried in the ashes. After a while, they were roasted, wiped them clean with a wet towel, cut them into pieces, put them on a plate, put on a small fork, and sent them to the master and his wife.
Nowadays, Yang Fan's territory has obtained seeds of tobacco potatoes and sweet potatoes from modern times and planted them in large quantities. They are the favorites of the ladies. They eat a few pieces every night. Sweet potatoes have good anti-cancer effects, and Yang Fan also supports them in eating roasted sweet potatoes.
Qiuxiang knelt down behind the master and his wife, holding a milk tea thermos to serve them, refilling tea and water for them at any time. Aunt Mei, Chunxiang and Xiaxiang prepared tea and other snacks.
"Master, I have been reading history books recently, and I found that after listening to you talk about history often, the more I read the history books, the more questions there are. Many questions are not very clear." Xiao Niangpi said with a frown.
"Which history book are you reading, madam?" Yang Fan put down his tureen and asked softly.
"I'm reading "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" newly published by Xincheng Book Company. I plan to click on thirty pages a day and read it in about three to five years."
Xiao Niangpi brought over a large book with gold leather cover, put it in front of Yang Fan with a bang and said.
Hey! This is a really big book.
One foot square, ten centimeters thick. Cowhide gilded book cover.
The paper used inside is all thick newsprint newly produced by Xincheng Paper Mill.
Although it is thread-bound and glued, it is not copied or printed with engraving, but printed with the ink of a type printing machine.
This was just published by Xincheng Printing Factory.
This edition of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" is an unprecedented modern version. It contains not only the original text, but also text and text comparisons, plus comments by celebrities from past dynasties, background historical materials, annotations of historical terms, and historical analysis by the editorial team formed by Yang Fan.
A huge amount of content such as interpretation and analysis of events.
Didn't Yang Fan want to compile a book? In the past two years, he asked Yaoguang to compile all the modern versions of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", as well as the annotations, comments, and research articles of the past dynasties.
Led by Yao Guang, together with a team of scholars of this era and a team of students from the History School of Xinghe Academy, it took two years to compile the most comprehensive Zizhi Tongjian in history.
The 1,360-year history of the three families and their promotion to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms has been systematically organized.
The biggest feature of this book is that it covers all relevant derivative content and research documents in history and later generations. It is equivalent to an encyclopedia of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".
In particular, the various views and cognitions of later generations in the book are not available in this era.
