Lord of Ming Dynasty

With the development of agriculture, water conservancy came back to life, and various craftsmen participated in the construction and formulation of various agricultural rules, which made the agriculture of the Huaxia Army improve rapidly, basically satisfying people's food and clothing, and allowing many people to eat and have nothing to do. As a result, he encouraged the development of light industry and joined the army.

In the fourth five-year period, with the improvement and addition of guano and various fertilizers, agricultural food has become superfluous, and the rapid development of light industry has produced many farmers who have become rich because of the development of light industry. At the same time as the light industry, the Huaxia Kingdom released the restrictions on merchants, allowing them to have larger workshops. Due to the smooth roads, the goods they brought to various places were very rich, and the Huaxia Kingdom began to become rich and stable.

At least in this agricultural age is getting rich.

Unrestrained birth, encouragement of birth has made the redundant population fill many empty newly occupied places.

The Huaxia Kingdom has basically restored most of the territory before the Ming Dynasty, and the actual area has increased, because it occupied Southeast Asia, the former territories of the original Chinese nation, and later became vassal states, those small white-eyed wolf countries that were subordinate states territory, and through ten years of hard work, most of the population there was replaced by Han Chinese.

Now Zhang Qiang is thinking about developing heavy industry, coal coke, cement, steelmaking and ironmaking, from the past only the kingdom army and the royal family would do it, delegate it to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and let the Ministry of Industry and Commerce open it to those millions of Chinese who have become rich Meta-level medium and large merchants.

Of course, what they do is also provide supporting services for the military's factories, so they can't open it all at once.

The shipyard, the navy officially quit the manufacture of merchant ships, small fishing boats, some sampans, etc., and sold the small and medium-sized shipyards to those merchants.

So in fact, the Huaxia Kingdom does not lack ships, but only lacks advanced warships, warships, and those sold warships and warships have been transformed into merchant ships.

Regardless of the fact that there were more than 6000 warships and warships in the most powerful period of the Huaxia Army Navy, in fact, there were 180 large and nearly [-]-ton merchant ships registered in the hands of merchants, and [-] [-]-ton merchant ships. Hundreds of ships, nearly [-] ships ranging from [-] tons to [-] tons.

There are nearly 180 fishing boats under [-] tons, and nearly [-] large fishing boats ranging from [-] tons to [-] tons. These fishing boats have provided the Huaxia Kingdom with a lot of seafood, and at the same time transported goods from all over the Huaxia Kingdom to the whole country by sea .

As far as Zhang Qiang knows, there are 170 famous sea merchants, and each of them owns at least [-] ships.

There is also a dedicated fishing fleet, the smallest is three and the largest is 58. It can be said that the Huaxia Kingdom has made considerable progress over the years.

Population, agriculture, and commerce have all developed by leaps and bounds.But these are all things that people can have with the current level of technology. Some heavy industries and high-tech things are still lacking. At present, only some royal businessmen are doing it, and the country’s military factories are doing it. The development is extremely fast. slow.

This is not possible, Zhang Qiang decided that after this battle is over, he must vigorously develop heavy industry and improve the technological level of the Huaxia Kingdom.

Wang Yuqun had already received the news that Zhang Qiang was coming, and immediately called a meeting of the officers of the various brigades, and then ordered a regiment of a field brigade to quickly go back along the road to meet him.

Three days later, Zhang Qiang's large army changed from a regiment to a brigade, and from a brigade to a division. The strength of the entire army was as high as 3000, which was almost as strong as a division of the Japanese army during World War II.

They are all soldiers and horses escorted on the road, and soldiers and horses who meet along the road.

Although this is a bit of a waste of money, Zhang Qiang is still very happy. First, these people still respect him and know that he is the king. Second, he has quite a lot of soldiers in the interior. As long as he is called, the soldiers and horses will be gathered quickly. The soldiers and horses in the core area don't seem so empty.

After meeting Wang Yuqun in Zhengzhou Fucheng, Zhang Qiang began to understand the recent war.

On the Bagyalu side, they formulated a plan to lure the enemy deep. The militia company and the self-defense force resisted the enemy. Ganzhou is nearly 50 kilometers away. After Yao Qisheng knew that his soldiers and horses were so capable of fighting, he led Yu Chenglong to prepare to take over Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture. He also entered Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture and settled in a coastal county.

On the other hand, Wang Yuqun's soldiers and horses have not moved, guarding the south bank of the Yellow River.

He sent an elite militia brigade to Wan Dou Ni and the others on the north bank of the Yellow River, and then replenished the strength of the three garrison regiments. The captives were transported back and detained at the punishment battalion state headquarters in Henan Prefecture.

Looking at the map, Zhang Qiang asked casually: "Since there are only 500 troops left in Shang Kexi, and the enemy has lost nearly [-] troops here, why don't you seize the opportunity to advance inland? At least occupy some cities, how much?" Occupying some territory, an elite militia brigade, whose combat power is already higher than that of the general combat troops of the Qing army, and three garrison regiments with [-] people, and a field regiment with [-] soldiers and horses, And the two battered militia units that have been repaired, so many troops, what have they been doing these days?"

Countless beads of sweat dripped from Wang Yuqun's forehead, and he stammered, "Your Majesty, I also wanted to lead the Eighth Division to the enemy's hinterland, but before I was afraid that if I broke through, the enemy had hundreds of thousands of soldiers I can't resist the enemy's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and then I am surrounded, then our Huaxia Kingdom will lose at least one organized division, which is unprecedented in the history of our Huaxia Kingdom."

Zhang Qiang looked back at him, did he not seize such a good opportunity?This guy is too timid and thinks too much.He also didn't raise his ideas to Merlin Yu and the others. It seemed that Wang Yuqun had lost his fighting spirit after so long and was content with the status quo.

Chapter 854 Arranging the Battle to Attack the hinterland of Shanxi Prefecture

Zhang Qiang felt angry and indisputable about Wang Yuqun's missed opportunity. He really wanted to remove him as the deputy commander of the army, but he didn't report it, but hesitated here. This is not like a soldier.

All along, Zhang Qiang never interfered with the command of the front line. He just set goals for them and let them complete them by themselves. Now it seems that they are too conservative.

"Go and reorganize the troops brought this time. You don't need to reorganize the personal guard battalion, the garrison command battalion, and the artillery battalion of the artillery director. You reorganize all the troops that came with me this time and reorganize them into one Temporary division, I will be the commander-in-chief, you will be the deputy commander, and report all the troops you have at home now, and I will see how many troops are available."

After speaking, Zhang Qiang ignored Wang Yuqun and went back to the bedroom to rest alone.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Zhang Qiang called out, "Come in." The defense attaché walked up to Zhang Qiang with a document, "Your Majesty, Wei Wuji, Minister of the Ministry of Defense, asked His Majesty for instructions. He wants to mobilize the Third Fleet in Palawan Island." The [-] old warships and warships of the army attacked the ports of Siam and cut off the enemy's water supplies."

Zhang Qiang took a look at the document, and said, "How is our new warship?"

The attendant military officer said: "Your Majesty, 84 warships and frigates have entered service in each fleet, and all the personnel of the warships have been trained. Except for the 35 warships in Palawan Island of the Third Fleet, the other fleets one, two, four, ten Two battleships, four frigates, and the battleship Huaxia in Jinling Mansion also got the remaining two frigates. Now Jinling Mansion has four frigates besides one battleship. The frigates usually patrol along the Yangtze River and are temporarily assigned to the Yangtze River Guard Navy. use.

Some of the other 72 rebuilt warships have already been launched, and some are still laying their keels. It will take at least three months before they are ready for service. "

"Since this is the case, send some old ships of the Fourth Fleet to Palawan Island to strengthen patrols and defenses there. The Fourth Fleet will use some fishing boats between Cam Ranh Bay and Qiong Island to share some old ships with the Coast Guard. Let's patrol the battleships, let the frigates obtained by the Fourth Fleet also join the patrols, the enemy can't break into those places for the time being, so that's it, promise him."

In the past, Wei Wuji wanted to command all the troops to put pressure on the Duge rebels, block them, and change the unfavorable situation. Now Zheng Keshuang cooperates with Li Yuanyin and others to occupy Cambodia, and is planning the Sinicization project of Cambodia. At present, it is only necessary to maintain pressure on Siam. .

Two days later, Zhang Qiang led all the troops to the mountain city on the north bank.

Wan Dou Ni and the others hurriedly greeted them.

Zhang Qiang learned about the situation here, and now the previous situation has been restored, with as many as 4 troops pressing here, and a newly transferred militia brigade, the elite militia brigade has 8000 troops. A militia and self-defense team was organized, with about 2000 people. It is still the same in a village, with less than a small flag, and some even have only three or five people.

The old militia brigade and elite brigade were transferred back to the rear to make up.

The temporary garrison brigade composed of three garrison regiments has a strength of more than 8000.

A field army has temporarily formed a regiment of [-] troops, which is nearly [-] troops.

A new field brigade artillery battalion has come in, with [-] troops.

There is also a field brigade with [-] troops.

After a few days after all Zhang Qiang's troops cross the river, there will be more than 6 troops.

After listening to their report, Zhang Qiang looked at the map, turned his head to Tianying and said, "I'll give you a garrison regiment, a cavalry company, and a small militia squad. the path of attack."

He drew dots on the map for Tianying to see.

Jiang County happened to be stuck on the only southern mountain road from Yuncheng Mansion in Shanxi Prefecture to Jinzhong. There were mountains on both sides. Unless the enemy went around and took the mountain road, they could only pass here.

Tianying not only wanted to take Jiang County, but also took another town more than ten kilometers away. Otherwise, if the enemy blocked the exit at that turn, it would be difficult for them to get out from anywhere in the future.

Then Zhang Qiang said to Wan Dou Ni: "Lead your temporary regiment to set off, take down Linyi County to the north of Yuncheng Mansion for me, and then hold on for a few days. The troops behind will take over your position and continue to impose pressure on Yuncheng Mansion." Pressure, you lead the team to capture Wanrong County, and block another exit for the enemy to escape from the mountains. Of course, you will strengthen a militia squad."

After finishing speaking, he said to the new garrison general behind him: "You take a squadron of the militia elite brigade and a militia squad to set off behind Wandou Ni, and then your task is to rescue or reinforce, or take over Wandou Ni and the others. position."

After finishing speaking, he ignored a few people, turned around and gave orders to the other two garrison groups, "Your task is to cover each other, start from the Ferry of Fenghuang Town, march along the river bank, reach a certain level, capture and attack eastward, keep Head towards Hejin County. In the early stage, you will cover the Wanrong County that they captured on the flank of Wanduni. In the later stage, you will attack Hejin County independently and hold there.

One of your regiments has a small unit of the ordinary brigade of the militia to follow to deliver supplies or to serve as your support force. "

Zhang Qiang made some calculations. In this case, he sent out about five small groups from the ordinary militia brigade, and three small groups. He felt that they should be deployed along the bank of the Yellow River to occupy the villages and towns on the passage opened by the front troops.

If all these are realized, then Yuncheng Mansion will be surrounded in a corner of Shanxi Prefecture, because Yuncheng Mansion is almost surrounded by mountains.

He continued to draw on the map, and after a while he said to the garrison general of the elite militia brigade: "For the remaining troops, draw out [-] troops and distribute them in the mountains, [-] troops to guard the mountain city, [-] troops to guard the ferry, and [-] troops to guard the rear The easy-to-land ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River ensures the safety of this area. There is still one team left, and we will send it to support Tianying."

In this way, Zhang Qiang used all the troops here in the early stage.

Zhang Qiang said to the general of the Field Brigade: "Your troops will set out in half a month to capture Yuncheng Mansion, and then send a battalion to Hejin County to reinforce where the rest of the troops will start from Yuncheng Mansion to capture Jishan County. Where to defend."

Then he said to the garrison general of a field regiment following by the Fengwuyu Corps: "Your troops will quickly march towards Houma Mansion, and there will be two squadrons of elite militia brigades following you to cover you as your reinforcements." , when the Yuncheng Mansion is captured, a garrison regiment led by Tianying will serve as your reinforcements. You wait for Tianying and the others to arrive and accept his command. The garrison Houma Mansion should still attack forward and follow his orders. .”
