Chapter 82 Preparation
Three iron-clad ships with more than 7,000 tons on the Yellow Sea, the arrowheads split the waves in the blue waves, and the battle between the Jianghuai River really shocked many people. Did the Ming army in South Asia fail to fight or the rebel battles that transformed from peasants were too amazing. They are all new topics that military experts in this world need to focus on discussion. The Imperial Army's evaluation of the Republican Army in the newspapers is only a few simple words: "The unruly people, ignorant instigation, are not afraid of death, have strong firepower, and are crazy sea tactics."
These newspaper evaluations were thrown to Ren Di's table, and Ren Di laughed it out. This is obviously an aside from the officers under the strict hierarchy to the combat effectiveness of modern troops. The self-summary of the Red Republican Army of Huaibei is stiff and the upper and lower cooperation is inappropriate. The failure of good firepower to cover soldiers has resulted in the inability of frontline soldiers to receive organized firepower support when they need firepower the most. In short, the officers are too superstitious about the class system and are slow to respond to the soldiers' needs. Only the weapon theory believes that the use of firepower can achieve results, and ignores the role of people operating firepower in war.
In this army in Huaibei, Ren Di adjusted his attitude to the army according to his understanding of the army before traveling through time. He trained and obedient levels of combat, adopted a democratic system in discussing issues, and followed the principle that there was no right to make a say without investigation. Ren Di at least did not rely on his military rank to obey his own one-man rule. Therefore, the development of the entire army was to gradually integrate tactics with the cooperation of collective practice of the upper and lower levels, and gradually became the army that Ren Di remembered that he could only fight.
Everyone in the entire army is quickly understanding the war. If we want to talk about the ability of military commanders, Ren Di may have just passed the qualifications, but when it comes to understanding soldiers, Ren Di's attitude is high. The army is not fighting for a general, and the general is unparalleled, Ren Di is very sad and has not experienced it. Firepower war is the cooperation of an entire army, and the future development direction of the army will inevitably develop in the direction of the cooperation of all military systems in informatization.
This era is still in the Napoleon artillery bombing, and the tactical idea of infantry rushing is outdated. In terms of military construction, the Red Republican Army has already reached a generation gap with all the troops in the world. However, the military experts in this world are still looking for answers from equipment and military spirit and courage. The direction is already wrong.
That is, the northern Anhui base is now too powerful, which has affected the three imperial armys of 80,000 troops heading south from the north. In order to understand the threat of the southern capital being stuck in their throats, the Ming Empire held heavy hopes for the northern legion and contacted Hai Song's arms dealers on the spot. So, a iron-clad fleet came.
On this rippling sea, the 7,000-ton ironclad ship is well-deservedly powerful. The steel plate body connected by rivets, the center of the warship is bent backward like a chimney, and three rotatable turrets on the central axis of the hull. Hai Song's warship design idea did not take a detour, but directly followed the design idea of the full-heavy artillery key defense and the dreadnought. However, such a powerful fleet seems to be a bit embarrassing to have nowhere to use the dragon-slaying technique. At the same time, the European ironclad ships, both tonnage and speed, and firepower, are not enough. No, at the New York base where the American Crossingmen are located, some powerful things are being built in the shipyard of those people.
In contrast, the Ming Empire's North Sea Fleet had only two thousand tons of iron-clad ships slightly cold. The relationship between Haisong and Ming Dynasty began to be established in the late Chongzhen period. With the invasion of the Donghu, the Ming Empire continued to have strong forces to resist barbarism. The relationship between the Ming and Haisong was laid since then.
It would be wrong to say that Hai Song had no idea about the large market with a sufficient population in the Ming Dynasty. The first generation of veterans did not initiate a conquest campaign against the Ming Dynasty by weighing the pros and cons. Because in the early 60 years ago, the people of the Ming Empire did not regard Hai Song as a brotherly country with equal diplomacy as it is now. Instead, they regarded these people from overseas as barbarians. Although they spoke Chinese, this was useless. At that time, the upper classes of the vassal states in Korea, Japan, and Vietnam used Chinese characters.
Although Hai Song brought wealth, the arrogance of the people of the Celestial Dynasty in the Ming Empire still regarded Hai Song as Japan, a national of Korea and #Korean. To be precise, foreigners. Hai Song had very few naturalized people at that time, and Hai Song had a very small population. Although he had strong combat power, if he forced himself to take control of China, he would inevitably cause dissatisfaction. If social reform was promoted, he would be strongly resisted by local forces. The gentry of the Ming Dynasty did not even go to the emperor for money. Hai Song's entry into China would inevitably lead to a scene of a small clan Ling big country. You can say that the Qing Dynasty could rule China. Hai Song's clever people knew that the Qing Dynasty could be able to win the country because the Qing Dynasty was ruthless. They used slaughter to deter the nationality that supported the resistance of the Han people, and used literary inquisition to imprison the national thoughts of the genius. The rulers of the ruling genius of the genius understand that the gangs of the genius in the genius would never allow such a thing to happen.
Moreover, Hai Song himself also brought about the social thought of freedom and equality, and nationalism was developing. Hai Song's sober veteran was afraid that he would push the mainland with advanced technology and finally fight the war of attrition in the War of Resistance Against Japan, so it became funny.
Of course, if you fight the local tyrants and divide the land, and use the TG model to turn this war that the people of the Celestial Empire is an invasion, turning it into a class war, and directly set the target of resistance as a gentry jin, you can still succeed. However, most of these Hai Song Yuan Laos who arrived in the future are very yearning for the corrupt life of three wives and four concubines in feudal society. If you really want to engage in a class war, Hai Song Yuan Laos really can't bear this hardship.
Since the war was too expensive, the promotion of social revolution, the Yuan of Hai Song was reluctant to live with three wives and four concubines in the old society. Then we do not build on the soil of this feudal empire. The world is so big that Hai Song turned its attention to ocean expansion after renting two islands in Hainan and Taiwan. In order to gain a sufficient population and market, Hai Song decided to support a stable Ming government that was pro-Sea Song.
After several generations of comparison of productivity, Haisong's prosperity made the people of the Ming Dynasty let go of the pride of the omnipresent state of the Celestial Kingdom. They began to recognize that Haisong, a country dominated by the Han population, was not a barbarian.
However, has Hai Song really given up his ambition for the mainland? Sixty years have passed since the mainland's attitude towards Hai Song has changed, and Hai Song's population has also increased to a considerable level. The embarrassment of the small clan Ling Daguo back then no longer exists. If Hai Song's national strength is now facing the situation during the Chongzhen period, all the elders will just follow the tripod.
However, the Ming Dynasty was also changing in the past sixty years. The Ming Empire was not the Qing Dynasty, and always wanted to guard against the Han people. The Ming Dynasty began to rise in nationalism and imperialism. The Ming army saw Hai Song's fighting style and began to reform the modernization of the system. Due to the gradual revival of the Ming Dynasty, Hai Song had no chance to reveal some of the ideas about the Ming Dynasty in the past sixty years. But now the Ming Empire seems to have a situation again, and it is very likely to fall into the Chongzhen period. The veterans of Hai Song, who followed the strategy of their fathers, did not have the experience of their fathers growing up in later generations, and regarded this Red Revolution as a certain opportunity.
He was uncompromising to the Tartars, not powerful ministers usurped the throne, unified the army, did not marry or paid tribute, and the emperor guarded the country's borders, a dynasty with extremely orthodox means of gaining the country seemed to be unable to do it.
Xiao Xuan, a descendant of a family of a Yuan of Haisong, was one of the more than 500 entrepreneurial veterans at that time. This elder was a man of Xiao, who was ordinary among many elders, but his ability to cloth was efficient. After taking a wife from the eight-bedroom house, the population was prosperous. Of course, this elder of Xiao was 60 years old and was probably related to his uncontrollable life. After a meal in the eight-bedroom house of the Xiao family, the mistress born in several brothels naturally did not have the qualifications to inherit the position of the elder. The child born in a daughter of a Jiangnan Haishang inherited the position of the elder. This lineage is the direct line of the elder of the Xiao family.
Xiao Xuan belongs to the sixth room. Although he does not have the position of elders, he is still a first-class noble in Haisong. In addition to his excellent achievements in the naval academy, this 7,000-ton squadron is the flagship, and the commander Xiao Xuan is the one who arrives at the sea surface of Daming Jiaozhou.
The sea breeze blew on Xiao Xuan's tough face, and the Ming Dynasty's ships leaned over. A group of men wearing naval uniforms had sun and moon marks on them. The Ming Dynasty's royal naval officers boarded this powerful warship. The attitude of the Xiao family in the Senate Society was the Emperor's attitude. The Xiao family not only had the position of the Senate Society, but also had the title of the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing his classmates in the naval academy, Xiao Xuan smiled on his face. Regarding the naval training, the Royal Navy and Hai Song often had exchange students. The Ming Dynasty dominated the power of the land in East Asia, and Hai Song dominated the power of the ocean and sea. However, it was very impressive to borrow the title of the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty and negotiate with the Western white-skinned groups. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hai Song hung the Sun and Moon Flags many times. Similarly, Hai Song intervened in the navy of the Ming Empire. Personnel training, ship purchase, and Hai Song were all consciences.
Price. It is not as profitable as Army equipment. It seems that Hai Song helped the Ming Empire to develop a navy for nothing, but this business is done well. The Ming Dynasty has such a huge sea border, and its maritime defense is unprepared for Hai Song. The price is to inject capital into the Ming Navy, and the Ming Dynasty seems to have eaten this cake. It no longer develops the navy strategically, and only allocates funds to retain a yellow water fleet less than one-tenth of the tonnage of the Hai Song Navy. Moreover, Hai Song is responsible for the training of the fleet crypto personnel.
So the Ming Navy and Hai Song were almost a family. Xiao Xuan friendly invited the Ming Navy and his group into the hall, which made the Ming Army, who were boarding the ship at the same time, stunned. In the conference hall, the price of the arms sent by Hai Song, the army and Hai Song's arms dealers were blushing and thick, while the Ming Navy and Hai Song's naval officials were discussing whether to drink daughter red or European red wine for today's dinner, and what kind of sauce to water the shrimps caught in the sea were more delicious.
Seeing this scene, the Imperial Army Quartermaster felt like he was fighting alone and was led by a black tour guide to slaughter the inn.
"You are starting the price!" An Imperial Army officer in a lieutenant general's uniform looked at the Haisong man in Hanfu and leisurely tasting tea on the opposite side. The Haisong businessman said leisurely: "The price of refunding artillery and burning air bullets is the lowest price. General, you should see our friendship. I heard that you were in trouble and immediately pulled this batch of arms from the Haisong active arsenal. The freight is naturally a little more expensive." He expressed his expression of loving to buy or not.
However, in this battle, the Imperial officers were defeated, and the South Asian Tiger Legion was defeated too quickly and was too ugly. All the commanders of the Lieutenant General of the Charter were captured. They were also caught from the homes of ordinary people in civilian clothes. The captured Imperial Army immediately became three points of fear of the enemy they faced. At the same time, the Nandu Empire sent telegrams three times a day to demand that they fight as soon as possible to resolve the current strategic crisis in Nandu.
Finally, under the contact of the telegram, Hai Song's arms dealer won the business with a satisfied smile.
Lens switching.
The major battle is about to take place, with northern Anhui as the core, northern Jiangsu and central Anhui, and southern Henan starting a mobilization order, and the heavy field troops led by Ren Di began to take the train north.
