I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

The people in Hanzhong say they are from Shaanxi, but in fact they are just like the people from Xuzhou who live in Jiangsu and their hearts are on Shandong. Culturally speaking, the people in Hanzhong are actually from Sichuan.

As a native of Sichuan, it is really hard to resist the temptation of extra spicy and secret canned pork knuckles.

Compared with the first day, the number of people who cut their braids in the next two days showed a blowout. It is hard to say that it is not the credit of the spicy pig's knuckles being widely tasted.

Even later, there were cases of secretly attacking others and cutting off their braids in exchange for spicy pig feet.

In short, it costs 6.34 yuan a piece on Taobao, and Zhu Fugui got 3 yuan a canned pork knuckle through the manufacturer’s expiry date destocking, adding a traditional delicacy that is remembered by the whole people in Hanzhong, an ancient city with a long history.

In fact, there is another hidden clause in Zhao Xizhu's Braid Twisting Order.

That is to allow meritorious Manchus to raise the flag and become Han Chinese.

Compared with the previous policies in Hubei, this is not bad.

This is also the opportunity that Zhu Fugui taught face-to-face early in the morning.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the blood feud of the Manchu slaves must be avenged, but the progressive Manchus should be treated differently.

For example, in the Manchu Qing court, there are many informants in the hands of Yang Liu, and many of them are Manchus.

In fact, since the Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang, there have been Zhenglan Banner Manchurians who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, in the late Qing Dynasty, there were quite a few progressive Manchus, and some even stood firm on the big questions of right and wrong, and they could be called national heroes.

Especially in the Western Regions, amidst the raging green flames, Manchu and Han are almost one.

For those bannermen who fought bloody battles to protect Seoul, it is also unreasonable to turn around and kill them.

After all, the white slaves still had a chance to be naturalized, and the Japanese became part of the Ming Dynasty after the purge.

But there is no doubt that all the old princesses whose ancestors are Zhenghuangqi will be climbed by the master, and the Daming Jiaofang Secretary will not tolerate such a thing.

Chapter 466 Meridian Valley Strange Conspiracy 2.0

Therefore, the "Jurchen Subdivision Act" is a document being compiled by the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, which aims to clarify the methods and requirements for Manchus to raise their flags and become Ming people.

It is the greatest honor to be Daming's dog!

First, like the Japanese, take a second-class citizenship and wait for Zhuka slowly in order to be promoted to the glorious Ming Dynasty. This is the attitude they should have.

Of course, there is another good place for these flag soldiers who have blood feuds with the local Hu people in the northwest, and that is to raise the flag and become Chu people, and follow Lao Zuo to Central Asia and Persia to establish the Western Chu Kingdom.

After all, in that kind of place, it is difficult not to care about China.

In history, Yelu Dashi took the remnants of the Liao Kingdom to Central Asia. In order to resist greening, his efforts to protect the Chinese were not careless.

They insist on using Chinese and Chinese characters, and they also regard themselves as Huaxia.

To this day, European countries, Russia, and various ethnic groups in West Asia still use "Khitan" to refer to China.

……

Of course, decades later, Xiliao finally failed to resist and turned green, but that was also because it no longer had the support of a Sinicized dynasty behind it and became a rootless tree.

Zhu Fugui believes that Lao Zuo will definitely do better than Yelu Dashi, and Daming will definitely give him the strongest support.

This is why Zhu Fugui chose Zhao Xizhu as his representative to follow Zuo Zongtang to participate in the battle against Russia in the Western Regions.

Specifically, one reason is that Zhao Xizhu is a leader among school-level generals. He is capable, cultured, and courageous, and Zhu Fugui feels at ease in handling affairs.

The second reason is that Zhao Xizhu was born under Mo Bai's command, and his style of acting is quite true to Mo Bai's.

It can be said that only Mo Bai-style generals can cooperate with Zuo Zongtang to the greatest extent to complete his destined career.

……

While rectifying Hanzhong's government affairs and consolidating the rule of this former enemy headquarters, Zuo Zongtang is also planning to leave the Qinling Mountains to relieve the siege of Xi'an as soon as possible.

The importance of Xi'an to China is self-evident. If Xi'an falls and the Hu people do something similar to shelling the Bamiyan Buddha, then one person present will count as one, and everyone will have no face to meet their ancestors.

However, sending troops out of the Qinling Mountains is not an easy matter, and if there is a misjudgment, there will be great risks.

Fortunately, Hu Huilin woke up in time.

He had been stabbed several times before, and the wound was infected again. The military doctors in Nanchu and the doctors in Hanzhong were helpless.

However, in the Daming instructor group, there are instructors who have participated in the training of hygienists and know how to simply create drainage and disinfect and bandage.

In addition, among the materials allocated to Nanchu, there are 1500 kilograms of antibiotics.

In future generations, even pigs will be resistant to antibiotics, and humans will follow the path of an arms race with antibiotics, using them better and better.

And these antibiotics calculated in kilograms are of course not high-end third-generation cephalosporins or fourth-generation cephalosporins.

It's all cheap penicillin, oxytetracycline, stuff like that.

In this era, it is an out-and-out miracle medicine.

Instructor Daming took two apprentices from the Southern Chu Army, and it took only two days for Hu Huilin's fever to subside. On the third day, Hu Huilin was able to drink porridge and attend military meetings.

With his help, the situation instantly became clear.

As a half local snake, Hu Huilin's understanding of Qinling is of course better than Zuo Zongtang and Zhao Xizhu.

Before, he rushed into the army rashly because of Yang Yuebin's letter urging him, and he was defeated by Hu Bing in Baoxie Road.

But in fact, Hu Huilin sent scouts before dispatching troops, but he rushed to send troops before all the scouts came back, which put himself in danger.

If you deploy troops later to break through the obstacles, you will already have insufficient troops.

Now that Zuo Zongtang led an army to Hanzhong, the information Hu Huilin had could come in handy.

From Hanzhong to Guanzhong, there are only six roads: Chencang Road, Baoxie Road, Tangluo Road, Ziwu Valley Road, Yugu Road, and Wuguan Road, which are called the Six Roads of Qinling Mountains.

Among them, Baoxie Road and Tangluo Road are stationed with heavy troops of Hu people, especially Baoxie Road.

Apparently among them were Russian advisors.

The Hu people built several simple small Russian-style bastions in the canyon to guard the main roads, making it impossible for the Hanzhong army to pass through.

There is a reason why Hu people attach so much importance to Baoxie Dao.

Shu Road is difficult, and it is difficult to ascend to the sky.

The road in the Qinling Mountains might as well give way more.

Only the Baoxie Road is relatively easy to walk among the six roads in the Qinling Mountains, which is suitable for large troops.

When Liu Bangming built the plank road to cross Chencang secretly, he meant to build the praise slope to confuse Zhang Han, and then sneaked across the relatively remote and difficult Chencang road in order to achieve the effect of surprise.

And Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley plot was actually the same plan: Zhuge Liang's army went out to the praise ramp to attract the attention of the enemy, and Wei Yan took 5000 elites to take the Meridian Valley Road to surprise Chang'an.

However, the Ziwu Valley Road is too difficult and dangerous, even more difficult than the Chencang Road. Zhuge Liang didn't think that five thousand soldiers could take Chang'an, so he didn't adopt it.

But after more than 600 years, another person decided to try this unimagined path.

"My old capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties is in danger. Zuo Shuai, I will lead my troops out of the Ziwu Valley to break the siege of Xi'an first. You lead the army to attack Baoxie Road. This is the only way to break the situation!"

Zhao Xizhu put his hands on the map and stood up suddenly, showing such an aggressive posture for the first time.

Zuo Zongtang pinched his brows. He had always regarded these talented soldiers from the Ming Dynasty as clay bodhisattvas, and never thought of letting them go to the front line of the battlefield.

Although Zuo Zongtang himself was a recruiter to join the army, as an old-fashioned officer, he still had a clear distinction between generals and soldiers.

Zuo Zongtang never thought that Qiu Ba's literacy was a good thing, and only illiterate farmers were the best soldiers.

However, in the discussion or quarrel just over half an hour ago, this little staff officer Zhao proposed such a shocking plan to use talented soldiers to attack Xi'an by Meridian, which is really a headache.

"Let's not talk about whether you can pass through Meridian Valley, just say that you only have more than four hundred people, how can you save Xi'an?"

If any young man rushed in front of him with such nonsense, Zuo Zongtang would have been kicked away long ago, but for this Ming staff officer, he can only understand it, "Although the old man does not know how many barbarians there are outside the city of Xi'an , how many Rakshasa soldiers are there, but Yang Yuebin can't come out of the city, at least there are ten thousand people, and you hundreds of people, aren't you just giving them teeth?"

There is another sentence that Zuo Zongtang is not ashamed to say, that is, all of you talented soldiers are very expensive. If you die, someone from Zuo will have to sell stocks to pay off the debt.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zuo, we all have armor on our bodies, ordinary bullets can't hurt us." Zhao Xizhu said.

"Armor?"

Zuo Zongtang's complexion became strange, "Brother Zhao Xian, you have always been stupid and straightforward. To be honest, our Chu army and Hunan army have long paid little attention to armor. Either it is too heavy to fight, or it is just a defense. The projectile is not as effective as it should be...

By the way, the old man forgot about the benefits of goods!Could it be that the iron skin is used as armor, which can be thin and resist projectiles? "

Now that things were going on, Zhao Xizhu couldn't keep his secrets anymore, so he demonstrated his bulletproof ceramic insert on the spot.

Zuo Zongtang looked at the ceramic piece that the shotgun couldn't hit a single crack in one step, and his clever mind fell into a breakdown.

What is this?

How much does this cost?

I really want to...

After a long shutdown, Zuo Zongtang came back to his senses.

"This kind of armor must be worth tens of thousands of gold, maybe it can only be worn by a general of the Ming Dynasty?" Zuo Zongtang asked.

Zhao Xizhu blushed a little, and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Zuo will know in the future, we will talk about this matter later, we will talk about it later!"

Zhao Xizhu really didn't dare to tell Zuo Zongtang that in Daming, the Royal Army, Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi and other ministries, this kind of ceramic plate bulletproof vests are all handed out, and they will be replaced if they are broken...

This matter is really not authentic. Daming gave a lot of supplies, but he didn't give him a pair of bulletproof vests and bulletproof helmets.

But this is also understandable.

Since ancient times, hiding swords is not illegal, but hiding armor is a serious crime of beheading.

The price/performance ratio of stacked armor is always higher than the output, at least until the firepower is completely overflowed.

No matter how much Zhu Fugui valued Lao Zuo, it would be impossible for him to equip the Zuo army with such heavy weapons.

Besides, although bulletproof vests are very cheap, after all, things like special ceramics have high technical content.

Although it is not against the law, it still has ten times the cultural punishment. It is already a luxury to equip the entire army of the Ming Dynasty, and it is really not enough to arm the friendly army.

Zhao Xizhu didn't want to say more, Zuo Zongtang vaguely had a bold guess in his heart.

But because he was too bold, he forced himself not to think about it.

There are more important things to do now.

Time waits for no one, although Zuo Zongtang is still worried, but when he thinks of the people and historical sites in Xi'an, he finally loses his mind.

Stocks or something, go to hell!

Ancestral foundation matters.

Besides, with such magic, it is not impossible to kill the city of Xi'an.

Zuo Zongtang held Zhao Xizhu's hand and said: "Consultant Zhao, Brother Yu is 30 years older than you, but he is not as bold as you. If you go to Ziwu Valley today, Brother Yu will destroy Hubao with a big Ming cannon, and go out of Baoxie Valley. I will join you in the city of Xi'an, and when the time comes, I don't know if you are willing to marry Jinlan with me and become a brother of a different surname!"

Zhao Xizhu smiled and said: "Brother Zuo, you must use the rich and happy bucket to blow it up hard. If you don't blow it up hard enough, I won't recognize you as a brother!"

"Haha, it's a word!"

"A word is settled!"

Zuo Zongtang and Zhao Xizhu clapped their hands together to make an oath, and they planned Xi'an together.

In this way, after only staying in Hanzhong for three days, Zhao Xizhu and 400 Da Ming instructors, wearing body armor, riding off-road motorcycles, and more than 200 Huai soldiers taken advantage of by Li Hongzhang as bait, headed towards Meridian Valley.

At the same time, the main force of the 5 Southern Chu Army brought enough ammunition base and headed towards Baoxie Valley in a dignified formation.

Bastion, this kind of Western-style castle with the king of cold weapon fortresses, will be used for the first time to test the power of the Minglijian equipment newly acquired by the Southern Chu Army.

Chapter 467

"Uncle Zhao, slow down, slow down!"

A group of locomotives are speeding in the valley with mountains and green hills.

The one who was yelling was Liu Mingchuan, the first governor of Taiwan in history.

He was sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle, desperately hugging Zhao Xizhu's waist.

"Why do you speak so well, this thing should be called a cross-country motorcycle!"

Zhao Xizhu stepped up the gas pedal. There are not many road sections where you can gallop like this in Meridian Valley. Many sections are people resisting cars instead of carrying people, so you must take the road to seize the time.

Zhao Xizhu said while speeding up: "Also, Liu Liumazi, you are already thirty, how can you call me uncle!"

Liu Mingchuan closed his eyes and shouted: "My Lord Li called Lord Zuo his elder brother. Staff Officer Zhao, you and Lord Zuo are the same generation in ethics, so you must be my uncle!"

When he said this, Liu Mingchuan spoke uprightly, without any embarrassment at all.
