Chapter 65 The heart-wrenching war

A confidential document of the Empire was rolled into a bunch and was smashed on the sandalwood table of the carved dragon. Emperor Yongcheng was very angry. The rebels who came out of nowhere a year ago made a fuss in the mountainous areas of southern China. The army of 70,000 to 80,000 troops went in for a year, and then they lost their troops and retreated to Guangzhou for repair. The war that took place in the Huaihe River Basin in Nandu was also annoying. After entering the war zone, 30,000 troops quickly stopped moving forward and could only rely on a series of cities in eastern Anhui Province. As for the remote and poor mining counties in the west of Anhui Province, they could easily suppress the imperial army of ten times the number of religious soldiers in West Asia. They had never been able to eliminate the rebels entrenched here.

Now there are three stacks of reports on Yongcheng's table. One stack is the front commander of the Imperial Army. Sun Ze asked for mules, horses, food, supplies, and requested for forty aircraft. Now Sun Ze also understood that his troops were not here to suppress the rebellion. If he suppressed the rebellion, he would just reach the rebellion site directly, and he would decide the outcome of the fight against the bandits. The Imperial Army found that he was here to suppress the bandits now.

Ren Di's army organized and premeditated the local gentry. The effect has been reflected in the military. The Ming army used to wipe out miners' riots and rob rice and stir up trouble. Local gentry could quickly guide the royal army and easily chase the thief army.

But now, local gentry suddenly disappeared, and the local people who farmed in the country encountered officers and soldiers passing by, like hiding from plague. It is easy to destroy the local system, but difficult to establish. Society is a relationship between people, and local management needs to establish this relationship between people. The relationship between managers and those under management is not born with a turtle spirit. They can be regarded as managers.

Without local gentry control, the Imperial Army could not even buy food. If you expect soldiers to buy food from one family and pay the bills in person, do you forget the guns in your hands? You can get food after being intimidated, and the flower girl comes with it. Why do you need to spend the silver coins in your hands? The Ming army will collect enough grains and then collect the silver coins that the superiors pay. The officers of modern army are all smart people, and the clever ways of the people below cannot hide them. Therefore, no officer will give the soldiers naively after issuing an order to collect grain on the spot and ask them to buy them.

The slogan of loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, protection of the country, and safeguarding the country, can still be maintained in the Imperial Army, but now it takes a detour for dozens of days. From time to time, he is fired and attacked when he is stationed outside. No one has a good temper. After walking around, he has no enemies. When he sees the local people watching opera, the masters of these troops have a bad temper. Everyone looks like bandits and bandits. Moreover, this place is not as prosperous as Nandu. The native chickens in brothels cannot satisfy these soldiers. Therefore, he risked his danger and naturally wants to vent and indulge in the city. This emotion is even if the Imperial Army commander dares to suppress it. The soldiers' emotions are extremely irritable. They must be guided.

As for where to guide these tyrannical emotions? vent them in the city? Now most of the local councillors gather in the city, and the voices of these local councils can reach the sky. Therefore, the people with the right to speak in the city cannot afford to bully them. Then the only channels for venting are the grass-roots people in the local councils. Moreover, the men in the local councils now hate the unruly people in the village. Their property has been divided, and the people around them have benefited, and they kicked themselves. Everyone has a desire to retaliate against the society.

Some of the gentry could see this trick, but in this tide of anger, this wisdom was soon overwhelmed. As the military discipline of the Ming army in Huaibei became worse, local farmers began to take sides in this cruel war.

In the era when Chinese peasants occupy the main population, if a regime ignores the vast majority of grass-rooted people, it must be a time when it turns from prosperity to decline. The activities of the Ming army in Xi'an were increasingly restricted. The Red Republican Army seemed to be becoming more and more brave in the battle. After the first annihilation of a group of the Ming army, one week later, three battles were launched at the same time. With the same method, the Red Republican Army, which was several times more than the Ming army, was quickly mobilized the Red Republican Army several times the size of the Ming army, and used squads as combat units. It launched an assault under the cover of rapid-fire artillery, and interspersed cutting and was eliminated within a few hours. Two regiments of the Ming army were crippled, and the fourteen battalions were abolished. A total of 3,400 casualties were killed and 3,400 people.

Sun Ze is now having a headache. His army gathers together, but if the opponent doesn't come, he disperses himself, and the enemy will quickly rush up and chew on a small piece. In the traditional # battle examples in textbooks, it is usually a major battle, which determines the world at one time, and the powerful firepower is bombarded, and then it depends on who can't bear it first, and then the ending is a defeat on one side. This kind of battle lasts for a month and has not been decided. Sun Ze discovered that the opponent is avoiding himself fighting with the advantage of firepower.

This is a serious test for Sun Ze's Imperial Army in logistics supply. The longer the time is, the longer the logistics formation that requires special transportation will be. Tens of thousands of Imperial Army will not be able to leave their baggage and run back to Nandu for dinner. There are heavy weapons there, so many people can't leave.

However, Sun Ze did not want to admit defeat, and his glorious family glory made him unable to admit defeat. The report he wanted to the central government of the empire was to ask for mules, horses, cavalry, and planes. He hoped that the rebels would win again and again, and then they would fight the main force with him.

However, Sun Ze's report ignited the dissatisfaction of Emperor Yongcheng of the Ming Dynasty. Another stack of paper on Yongcheng's table was full of impeachment by members of Congress to Sun Ze. He feared the enemy and did not fight, and a general was unable to kill thousands of troops. These men who were far from war were anxious and anxious about their own money.

Mining in western Anhui represents an interest group. Although Anhui Province is poor, connected to several prosperous provinces such as Jiangsu, Anhui, Jing, Shandong, etc., the transportation location is extremely important. The railway line in this place is separated, and the commercial interests are a group. Because Haisong's industrial area dominated by the Shanghai Concession was affected by the ore shortage, the congressional fueled the fire. Well, the older generation of Haisong may have instilled too much when he was a child. There were very few war materials on the red revolution theme, and the priority translation was all technical materials. Therefore, the current veterans do not have the awareness of what happened in the Ming Dynasty at the moment.

Since the south of Chongzhen, the power of the monarch began to compromise with local gentry and began to rule the world together. The world was not only the emperor's world, but also the literati. The emperor made a compromise on power, and the local gentry also made a compromise on taxes. The gentry also understood that it was impossible without an army to protect themselves. Li Zicheng went to Beijing to squeeze out tens of millions of taels of silver, which gave the Ming Emperor who refused to delegate power, and also taught the gentry a lesson. The gentry class who had a large amount of capital began to control the power of the state. To a large extent, the stability of the country was guaranteed. Even if there were small-scale peasant uprisings, the imperial army with sufficient logistics was eliminated. In Hai Song's words, what was it? Yes, it was called the breech gun era without revolution.

Indeed, the powerful forces of the reactionaries have been steadily occupied for seventy years. This era was caused by the previous wave of time travelers carrying technology that exceeded the era, and now Ren Di's wave of time travelers has brought about the idea of ​​fighting that exceeded the era. There is no revolution in the era of breech guns? That is why Europeans are too slave.

Yongcheng had already drafted a dismissal letter to Sun Ze on the desk. Yongcheng picked it up and looked at it. Instead of stamping his jade seal, he put it in his drawer and pressed it with paperweight.

Yongcheng picked up the third stack of paper on his desk. This stack of paper was from the Imperial Special Forces Group Jinyiwei's rebellion against the Western Anhui rebellion of the Empire. On the first page, Ren Di's sketch portrait appeared on the paper. With a clamor, Yongcheng turned the page over. The following records the materials purchased by Ren Di on the Anqing Exchange after he appeared in 1701, more than 5,000 tons of grain, 3,000 tons of various steel, and forty tons of nitric acid.

And the estimated predicted value of the troops that have so far is between 15,000 and 20,000 taels. The report later states that the forces are still increasing. In terms of using artillery, it is obvious that the core of this army is not like the traditional peasant uprising army.

After looking at the report, Yongcheng leaned on the chair. The eunuch next to him was signaled and came forward to gently help Yongcheng squeeze his temples. Yongcheng's face gradually relaxed and asked the eunuch behind him: "Parent Li, how is Yuerong?" The eunuch returned: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess, good. Haisong newspaper interviewed His Highness the day before yesterday. The eldest princess now has the title of General Phoenix."

Yongcheng frowned and sighed, "She should get married. The queen misses her now." After a while, Yongcheng said, "Where is the newspaper today?" When Yongcheng asked, eunuch Li's face turned bitter. Emperor Yongcheng showed a look of doubt. He immediately said majestic: "Give me the newspaper."

A few dozen seconds later, the newspaper was spread out on the desk of Emperor Yongcheng, and the headline above was a striking big word, "There are no more men than men." Below is a smaller title, Your Highness: "I will never return until I break the thief's nest."

Switching the lens. War is not a house or a toy. No matter what, the cruelty of war will not be reduced. With ideologicalism, it is just that you can bear the cruelty of war.

Ren Di sat in this ward full of disabled people without saying a word. Some were blind, while others had broken legs. Sulfonamide drugs have been used, which greatly reduced the casualty rate of soldiers being infected. However, bullets, shells, and bayonets can still take people's lives. Ren Di has a very good memory. Most people in the army can call out their names themselves, and they have an impression of their vivid lives. However, Ren Di is a little scared at night now, fearing that after a few days, the person who originally talked to him suddenly disappeared.

On the school ground not far away, a team of soldiers who have recovered physically after two months of physical fitness will be replenished into the army. "Is it really worth it?" Looking at these, the young people with sunny heights walked to the battlefield with their instilled beliefs, just to have no belief that oppresses society. Ren Di couldn't help asking: "Is it really worth it? This generation will pay a lot for the establishment of a new society, but the benefits of the new society are future generations. These descendants probably do not know the past and are smart people who are stupid and slander the givers."

If Ren Di himself was in the position of these soldiers, he would definitely say: "It's not worth it. It's so stupid to fight for the benefits that he can't enjoy."

Ren Di is an evolutionary officer who jumped to the firepower era in one step. He has never been an emperor or a superior. After all, he is still the heart of an otaku. The cruelty of war will forge Ren Di's heart. The superior is cold and may have subtle influence in the task of becoming a king many times, but now he is too fast to Ren Di, and the coldness is not attached.

Ren Di's eyes calmed down again and said, "I should be a coward."
