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

Chapter 544 New Year's Gift

The six years of Dewu gradually come to an end.

Before the snow outside the Great Wall was so heavy that the troops could not march at all, Zuo Zongtang's army presented His Majesty Zhu Fugui with the best New Year gift.

On November [-]th, with the air support of the Daming Airship Brigade, Bai Zhixin was the first to ascend, Liu Songshan was the backup, and Zuo Zongtang personally led the main force to blow up the Dihua city. The ancient city rises again.

In this campaign, the allied forces of Ming Dynasty and Western Chu killed [-] Hu soldiers, and Bai Zhixin, the head of the Ming Dynasty, and Bai Yanhu, the leader of the rebellion, were killed by hand.

You also deserve the surname Bai?

Master Zhixin used Laiyang steel pipes from bottom to top into the thief chief's body, injecting Buddhism into it.

And erect it on the square, to save the souls of millions of Chinese dead in Ganshan and Shanxi for three days.

In addition, a total of 300 members of the Tsarist Russian Military Advisory and Guidance Group were killed during Sukabulie's call to persuade them to surrender.

These are the new army seedlings that Tsarist Russia had just cultivated in the military reforms carried out by Tsar Alexander II after the Crimean War, and they were sent to the East for actual combat testing.

The seeds of this new army that had originally shined in the Tenth Russo-Turkish War 7 years later were disintegrated and became a handful in the long yellow sands of the Western Regions.

The recovery of Dihua marked the perfect end to the six-year military campaign of Daming Dewu.

A little earlier, the Xiong Hei Division of the Ming Polar Expeditionary Force passed through the Mobei region, entered the Altay region from Tangnu Wulianghai, and defeated the 47th, 55th, and 56th Cavalry Regiments of the Tsarist Russian Cossack Cavalry.

As one of the last glories of cavalry in this era, the Cossack cavalry still maintains a strong combat effectiveness.

But in the face of the torrent of steel, they are still not worth mentioning.

But they come and go like the wind, and their characteristics of wandering soldiers and bravery also make Da Ming feel a headache.

After all, until the Soviet period, this group of Cossacks also caused the Red Army to suffer a lot and could not be suppressed for a long time.

In the post-war summary, Xiong Hei pointed out that in order to completely drive the Russian forces out of Mobei and the grasslands, he needed three things: "Tanks, tanks, and tanks!"

"Of course, if you don't have a tank, you can also use a motorcycle. Give me more!"

Seeing Xiong Hei's report, Zhu Fugui really wanted to catch him and kick him.

You are a Yin man, what am I!

However, Zhu Fugui still approved the budget for 20 Iron Buddha tanks, 100 four-wheeled vehicles, and 800 motorcycles.

Considering that the Polar Expeditionary Force, or the Northern Corps, has a total strength of only 3, the Northern Corps surpassed the Dingguo Army in one fell swoop, becoming the second most motorized Corps in Daming after the Wumu Army.

This is inseparable from the objective conditions that grasslands and deserts have many natural hardened roads, flat terrain, and suitable for wheeled vehicles.

As long as the muddy rainy season is avoided, Ming's motorized corps is invincible on the grassland.

In the south of the Tianshan Mountains, Zhao Xizhu's department, together with Liu Liumazi Liu Mingchuan's department who was seconded from Li Hongzhang but never returned to the team, and Daming Pingxi Wang Guanning's iron camel troops entered southern Xinjiang to compress the activity space of Agubai.

However, Zhao Xizhu's action was warned by the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

Because the current mobile force of Agubai's department in the south of Tianshan Mountain is only 8000 people, but Zhao Xizhu's department directly killed 1 enemies.

The extra 1 people, after investigation, are all local fellows who are good at singing and dancing, and are hospitable.

Although they took Russian weapons, rode on good horses from the Western Regions, and made provocative actions against the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the Xiong Heibu did not do a good job of explaining and educating, and did not explain how good His Majesty's benevolent policy is.

For this kind of simple and rough work, the Grand Marshal's Office decided after research that the imperial colonel Zhao Xizhu was fined by dividing his salary by 3 months, and he was reviewed in writing, and no ghostwriting was allowed.

This is a heavy punishment.

The cultural level of Zhao Xizhu, who was born in Yanhu, has always been a big shortcoming.

His old leader, Mo Bai, has been trying his best to get him to study more, and he also used the example of Wu Xia Ameng to motivate him.

The effect has not been very good.

Therefore, it is indeed very cruel to ask Zhao Xizhu to write a written review, and not to be able to find someone to write it for him.

Xiong Hei is in the north, Zuo Zongtang is in the middle, and Zhao Xizhu is in the south. The three roads are advancing side by side, and they have all achieved staged results.

So far, the Western Regions to the east of Kuqa have all been recovered.

However, the brightest pearl in the Western Regions, the Ili River Valley, is still under the control of Tsarist Russian General Skobelev.

This famous Tsarist Russian general who became the commander-in-chief in the tenth Russo-Turkish war in the future has two brushes. The partial division of the Western Chu Army was defeated by him several times.

To remove his stronghold requires a swift and decisive action.

In addition, Kashgar, Yingjisar, Aksu, Kuqa and other places in the southwest of the Western Regions are still controlled by the pseudo-Hongfu Khanate of Aquba.

With the arrival of winter, the three armies of the Ming Dynasty can only temporarily let go of their plan to complete their efforts in one battle, make some repairs, and fight again in the coming year.

However, large-scale fighting has temporarily stopped, but small-scale conflicts continue.

Moreover, Zuo Zongtang's confidant Hu Xueyan launched a financial war against the puppet Hongfu Khanate without a teacher.

There is no particularly complicated method.

Although Hu Xueyan is a business genius, it is difficult to break out of the limitations of the era of red-top businessmen.

Xichu mainly attacked the ruling foundation of Yaguba by manufacturing a large number of counterfeit coins of the pseudo-Hongfu Khanate.

This is also to blame for Yagubo himself dancing too much.

After he got the title of "Emir" from the Ottoman Sultan, he issued the Hongfu Khanate's own silver coins and banknotes, and painted the portraits of himself and the Sultan on them, and identified himself as the Emir.

What qualifications does Agubo have to issue banknotes? His banknote technology is extremely poor.

The technical indicators of the banknotes made by the craftsmen recruited from India are completely substandard, that is, the banknotes are not easy to be damaged due to the dry weather in the Western Regions, so they can be used temporarily.

It would be fine if Yagubo just issued silver coins with peace of mind.

As long as the precious metal currency is not something like "millions of dollars", but contains the amount of precious metal equal to the face value, there is no such thing as counterfeit currency.

However, due to the pressure from Ming and Russia, resulting in financial collapse, Yagubo had to try to issue banknotes, which was a huge loophole.

Hu Xueyan didn't even ask Daming for technical support, and the Chu army's own craftsmen produced more exquisite banknotes than the pseudo-Hongfu Khanate.

At one time, there was even an embarrassing incident that was recognized because the printing quality was too good.

In short, the new currency issued by the pseudo-Hongfu Khanate has only been issued for a few months, and it has become a piece of waste paper under the rule of its own indiscriminate issuance and Hu Xueyan's forgery.

The Agubai Group deforestation indiscriminately for coinage, destroying precious vegetation in the Western Regions, causing uncountable ecological losses, and Lingchi's knives in Zhu Fugui's small book increased by several hundred knives.

Daming's executioners are under a lot of pressure, and they may be going to private Marseilles again, and they may become the biggest losers.

Chapter 545 Formation of the Lahua Nation

If the situation in the Western Regions is barely stable, South America is completely in chaos.

In the early years, the Hongmen in San Francisco, which Zhu Fugui had thrown away, did not get along well with the new God worshipers.

When a Hakka speaker meets a Cantonese speaker, even though they are far away in South America, they still have to fight.

But after the winner was decided, things were easier to handle.

Zhu Fugui has always looked down on Huidaomen organization, and this time it has been confirmed.

In front of an organization like the Worship of God Society, which Da Ming saw as capable, they were like a pan of loose sand, and quickly gave up the basic business that had been in operation for several years.

Various plantations and opium fields were controlled by the Taiping Army.

However, unlike Daming's firm non-cooperation, non-absorption, dismantling of the institutional system, and the idea of ​​starting from ordinary citizens after naturalization and study, Hong Tianwang chose to organize the Daoist sect into an organic system and absorb it into the Tianping Army.

This led to a rapid increase in the power of the Chinese in South America.

Coupled with some mixed-race natives, a large number of white women, and a small number of black slaves, a Lahua nation formed by the Chinese instead of European blood as the main body and the mixture of multiple ethnicities is being born at an unprecedented speed.

In the middle of the year, the Taiping Army landed from Cape Parrinhas, quickly broke through the Maranise River Valley, and entered the territory of Peru and Bolivia.

Here is the chassis of the original Inca Empire.

As a huge empire with a population of tens of millions, the Inca Empire has been destroyed by the Spaniards for more than 350 years.

This is a long time, which is enough to change the composition of the nation several times, and things have long changed.

In theory, there are still a large number of Indians living in the core area of ​​the original Inca Empire.

However, these Indians, even if they claim to be pure-blooded Indians, are actually the product of the sexual colonization of local women by Europeans, and [-]% of their paternal genes come from the white blood of the Iberian Peninsula.

The real Indians are only those primitive tribes blowing arrows in the rainforest, and only they still retain the complete Asian face.

But there are a lot of Asian faces, so is Yan Luo Yaobu?

Hong Xiuquan would not go to the rainforest to find those savages.

At the same time, he is not very fond of mixed Indians.

Hong Xiuquan announced that these mixed-race Indians were sinful people whose blood was defiled by the red-haired monster, and they could be called half-demons.

Only by joining the religion of worshiping God and serving the descendants of the kingdom of heaven can one be redeemed, be purified and become a citizen of the kingdom of La, and be reincarnated in the real heaven on earth—Daming in the next life.

At this time, Peru has just been independent for less than 50 years.

Because the colonists, that is, the ruling class of pure European descent, were too few in number, they once merged with Bolivia to form a coalition government.

It has only been a few years since we separated.

In order to carve up the rich natural resources of South America, the insatiable colonists also intrigue internally.

Soon after the separation from Bolivia, Peru's white government clashed with the Chilean government.

They joined forces with Bolivia, a close relative, to fight against Chile for the production of saltpeter, which is the so-called South American Pacific War.

Saltpeter is a very important strategic material, a tribute designated by the Heavenly Father.

Therefore, the Taiping Army also had to get involved in this war.

The only pity is that Peru was also a country of guano that got rich with guano.

However, their development was much earlier than that of Nauru, and they have almost been mined now.

Emperor Zhu Fugui wanted to eat a mouthful of bird droppings... the bonus of eating a mouthful of bird droppings, but he didn't get any hot food.

We can only send a ship to Nauru to dig in the future.

However, Peru is not a small country like Nauru. Even if there is no guano, it is very rich in natural resources.

And their already meager main body of white men was fighting in the South with an almost undefended rear.

They didn't even think that there would be some enemies who landed in the South Pacific and stuck their butts.

Compared with the wars between Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay, the three most powerful players in South America, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile can only be regarded as mid-range players even in the South American region. The scale and intensity of their wars can be imagined.

The Taiping Army swept across the empty hinterlands of Peru and Bolivia like a divine soldier descending from heaven.

A large number of mixed-race Indians who had been treated inhumanely for a long time changed their not-so-solid Catholic beliefs, converted to worshiping God, and joined the South American Taipingla country.

Although they were also regarded as second-class citizens in the Taiping Army, they were criminals and half-demons, but they were better than Europeans.

Of course, more than half of the mixed races chose to fight for their Western masters.

What's ridiculous is that the Western masters forbade them from possessing advanced weapons to prevent them from rebelling, so that their loyalty could not be displayed, and they were quickly wiped out.

When General Francisco, the commander-in-chief of the secret-Polish coalition forces on the front line, came back to his senses, his hometown was already gone.

More than 2 coalition troops hurried back to help, and were ambushed by an army of [-] troops led by loyal king Li Xiucheng, his younger brother servant king Li Shixian, and clan uncle Li Yuanmao on the banks of the Ukaria River.

Li Xiucheng was an unworldly famous general who fought against Chen Yucheng in the late Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

After coming to the South American region, the little overlord who is like unyielding brass travels to the tough black iron, and finally can experience the feeling of dominating the game.

The first generation of Ming Dynasty assisted by Ming Dynasty didn't even play a decisive role.

Today's Taiping Army is full of fanaticism, and has easily plundered cities such as Cusco and Lima. The morale has almost returned to the level of the 1850s, and they dare to fight hand-to-hand.

Under the command of San Li, they went downhill like tigers, crossed rivers and flooded dragons, and killed the South American soldiers in the complex terrain with bright flowers and machetes.

With similar training and equipment, Asian soldiers faced South American soldiers, and it was almost a crushing victory.

So much so that Li Xiucheng doubted whether these red-haired demons were of the same species as the red-haired demons in the Changsheng Army.

This battle made Taipingla officially gain a firm foothold in South America.

Furthermore, Paraguay, which is empty, rich, and almost a daughter country, is within easy reach in front of the Taiping Army.

However, behind the successive victories, the seeds of division have also been planted.

The Taiping Army was not monolithic.

The three kings of the Li family of the orthodox school in Tianjing, the Du Wang Huang Wenjin, the Fu Wang Yang Fuqing, and the Kang Wang Haiyang from the Zhejiang sect, the Fu Wang Chen Decai and the Zun Wang Lai Wenguang from the Hubei sect...
