Chapter 793: Destroy the tiger and swallow the wolf

Ma Cheng pressed the map with both hands, feeling quite energetic. This huge encirclement will soon take shape, surrounding two major bandits in the mountainous areas north of Myanmar and south of Sichuan, pressing step by step, and putting them on Zhang Gao.

The shackles on the thief's neck gradually tightened, and this is called boiling a frog in warm water.

"Put a frog into boiling water. When the frog touches the boiling hot water, it will jump out of the pot and escape. If you put the frog in a pot filled with cold water, swim in the water as usual, then slow down

Slowly heat the water in the pot until the water is too hot to bear, the frog is weak when he wants to jump out of the water again, and eventually dies in hot water."

Ma Cheng talked happily with his hands pressed on the southwest map. He went down and nodded frequently when he heard it. He understood the prince's intention well and determined the strategy of boiling frogs with warm water. On the huge southwest map, a group of staff officers

The sight of the people fell into the huge blank area west of Sichuan, Yilibali. Yilibali is Tibet. Find a huge encirclement and the only way to live is to enter Yilibali west, the environment is very extreme

Dangerous plateau area.

Those who can enter the Staff Department are all military students, and elites from the elite, so they will naturally see through it after a little analysis.

The prince wanted to drive away tigers and swallow wolves. Such a huge and meticulous encirclement, but it opened a big hole. The prince wanted to chase Zhang thief and Gao thief to the west, and chased rabbits into Yili.

At that time, the Liao cavalry followed the bandits and captured Yili and defeated the Li Kingdom. Wouldn't it be natural?

Ma Cheng really planned this way. Can't Zhang Gao and the other thieves run away? They are very capable of running away.

Then go to the vast Tibet and run freely, and use the army of bandits to open the way. The Liao cavalry followed him into Tibet to pick peaches and successfully occupied this huge territory.

Natural danger in northern Sichuan, Lazikou.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, mid-December.

With the arrival of the first town of the Taiwan New Army and the first town of Liaodong Artillery, the Shaanxi soldiers who were ineffective in attack were replaced three days later. The main army of the two towns was pressed up. The five hundred miles of natural barrier in northern Sichuan fought fiercely on the whole line, and the war suddenly escalated.

As the Ming New Army showed its sharp fangs.

Natural danger in northern Sichuan, Lazikou.

The first town of Taiwan's new army, with 3,000 engineers organized by six battalions, led tens of thousands of Shaanxi, and the young and brave Shanxi into the mountains, opened an offensive channel on the front of the natural barrier of Lazikou, and built artillery positions on the hillsides on both sides.

It was also the first time that the new army engineers of the Ming Dynasty entered combat, which was about fifty years earlier than the contemporary Europe. It was only after fifty years that Europe had established the first organized engineer troops.

Professional engineers from the Sixth Battalion opened mountains when they encountered mountains and built bridges when they encountered water. With the rise of modern engineer troops, natural dangers became very weak and powerless.

Lazikou Pass City is five miles away.

On the noisy and lively hillsides, a large number of civilians are cutting down wood and clearing the forest. The cut down trees are pruned on the spot and cut into various materials for building bridges and creating tools. Because they are made of local materials, they are very convenient.

The Ming Dynasty engineers who were in power for the first time were very complicated, including carpenters, blacksmiths, plasterers, bricklayers, and bricklayers. There were also a small number of elite soldiers deployed on the front line to protect the artillery positions under construction.

On the hillside, wooden tracks are being built quickly, winding from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The concept of standardization is starting the original military science, taking root in the army, and the wooden track used to transfer artillery, giving birth to the birth of the concept of standardization in modern science. Tracks are being used to create the original military science.

, It is necessary that the length is completely consistent and there is no deviation in the slightest deviation. Winch and cannon trucks also move large quantities of standardized manufacturing components. It is inevitable that Kaiyuan Military Academy attaches importance to standardized operations.

In Taiwan, the first modern military industry in Kaiyuan’s two prefectures has absorbed the most advanced modern industrial technological achievements in Europe and led the trend of the Ming version of the industrial revolution. A huge industrial transformation is brewing.

"Without any effort, is there nothing in your stomach?"

"Two more people!"

On the noisy hillside, winding wooden tracks were paved for about half a mile, and a group of young officers in big red uniforms were directing Minzhuang for stress tests. A two-wheeled cannon cart crossed the wooden tracks.

The cannon truck was filled with heavy rocks, and the stones were still crowded with people, and the young officers kept stuffing people into the cannon truck.

"Go up, go up!"

The civil and military officials were commanded by young officers, climbing onto the already heavy two-wheeled gun chariot. The wooden track was finally overwhelmed and broke from it. The gun chariot overturned, and the civil and military officials on the vehicle jumped off the car one after another.

, rolled into a ball, and amid the pain of ouching, he rubbed his butt and stood up one after another, and came over to talk and talk.

"Broken?"

"It's a few thousand pounds, it will naturally be broken!"

Amid the discussion, a group of young officers who graduated from military education grabbed their hair directly, and the stress test failed again.

The amount of more than 2,000 kilograms was broken, and it was naturally unable to meet the combat needs. During wartime artillery, ammunition, and even wounded soldiers were transported all by rails, and there must be no trouble. Where is the problem? A group of noisy greens

Zhuang watched the young officers squat down and tapped them with their fingers, and the discussion became even more intense. These young soldiers were very kind. The young soldiers who fought with the army were not afraid of them, and helped them out with advice.

Zhang Chengxian looked at the broken part of the wooden track, knocked it, and said confidently: "The wood is not done!"

Around him, several of his comrades were a little suspicious and responded: "Isn't Elm a good thing?"

Several old carpenters around also spoke: "There is nothing harder than elm in this mountain. If elm is not done, then it will really not work."

After a riot, Zhang Chengxian said confidently: "I guess, the wood cannot be too soft or too hard. Is it easy for those who are too tough to fold? Is that the reason?"

After nearly, a group of comrades were speechless for a moment. It makes sense that he said this, but he did not refute it. Those who are too tough are easily broken. This is what Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching, and it cannot be refuted.

Zhang Chengxian was a little nervous, but said resolutely: "Is there any wood in northern Sichuan that is not too hard or soft?"

Around the surroundings, the old carpenters nodded like chicken pecking at rice: "Cypress, there are many cypress trees in the north of Sichuan, and there are also in the east of Sichuan, which are not too hard or too soft."

"Try it!"

"Okay!"

Zhang Chengxian waved his hand, and a group of young and strong men spitted into the palm of his hand, picked up an axe and cut down trees. The mountains and fields were full of cypress trees that had grown for countless years. Cypress trees, the main production areas of northern and eastern Sichuan, were used by later generations.

The main wood used for railway sleepers is not too soft, hard, and not easy to rot. The origin is just north of Sichuan. It seems that there is God's will, and it is delivered to Zhang Chengxian with a combat achievements that have been poured into the sky.

.

"It fell down, it fell down!"
