There are many happy events in the Duke's Mansion. In one month, the eldest wife Peng Jingrong will give birth. Dong Xiaowan's delivery date is also nearby. I have checked with Granny Wen. It is said that they happen to be a boy and a girl. It is very festive, and from a distance.
News came from the west of the country, saying that Huo Lingyao, the female Khan of the Hui tribe, had given birth to a boy. He had not yet given a name and was waiting to meet the father to pick him up.
Liu Ziguang counted with his fingers. He already had two sons and two daughters. He would soon have two more children, a boy and a girl. In addition, he also had a goddaughter. He couldn't count them on one hand. It was really frustrating to think about it.
You are happy, but you still have several wives who are not pregnant. In a few years, the house will be filled with children, and you will be poor just by the New Year's money.
The family is full of children and the career is booming. Life is going smoothly these days, but someone is adding to the obstacles. The Yuan family in Hebei and his son dare to resist despite being surrounded by him. This really makes Liu Ziguang uncomfortable. As a qualified politician, he
For the sake of the overall situation, the Hebei Army's hatred for killing its own subordinates can be ignored, but the prerequisite is that the other party must lay down their weapons and hand over their troops. However, the Yuan family and his son are both stubborn. They consider themselves Zhu Mingzhengshuo and would rather fight to the death than reconcile.
"These idiots have no idea how to keep up with the times." Liu Ziguang groped for the map and sighed. The navy has blocked the Bohai Bay, the army has stationed in Liaodong, the Mongolian Chahar Department is echoing in the north, and Shanxi's Zhao Zhangcheng Department has also
Be ready to break out of Pingxing Pass at any time. In southern Hebei, soldiers are pressing down on the border. The canal's
Shipping has long been cut off, and not a single grain of rice from the south of the Yangtze River is allowed to be sent to the north. The Tianjin Wei Dagukou fort is overwhelmed by the heavy stern ships of the Beiyang Navy, and they dare not fire at all, whether it is a naval landing or an airborne landing.
Whether it is a troop assault behind enemy lines or an armored group advance, Hebei's armies are the meat on the chopping block of the Red Shirts.
This may be the last domestic battle that I can personally participate in, Liu Ziguang said to himself, if Hebei is leveled, there will be no opposition forces in the country. He will keep his promise to the Empress Dowager in mind, and his treatment of Zhu Youxiao
He had already made arrangements, and what he needed to do now was to go to the front line in person and put down the rebels in one fell swoop with overwhelming momentum.
The news that Lord Supervisor Guo decided to go to the front line in person spread throughout the capital, and the emerging dignitaries were all crazy about it. This was a shortcut to promotion. Countless young people rushed to the Capital Military Lecture Hall to sign up at once, because everyone knew that Supervisor Guo
Your Majesty has the habit of leading military soldiers on expeditions. However, Liu Ziguang will not send troops from the capital this time. There are so many cannon fodder from all over the world on the front line. It will be in vain if they are not used.
Lord Supervisor said goodbye to his wife, children and elders in the capital, and embarked on the road to the Northern Expedition. Nowadays, fighting is different from before. There are no schools to call out troops, and there are no flags and brigades that cover the sky. In the words of an official from the Ministry of War
He said that it would not be troublesome enough if troops were sent from the capital every time there was a war.
Liu Ziguang just brought a guard battalion there, crossed the Yangtze River with people and equipment, transferred to a train, and rushed all the way to the front line. Along the way, there were countless vehicles and ships, all transporting supplies to the west and north fronts.
On your special train, there is a carriage carrying all the
He was a drummer, and the whole journey was very lively. When passing by the state capital, everyone greeted the governor as if he were an emperor. However, Liu Ziguang declined all receptions, stayed on the train for food and accommodation, and simply met with local officials to comfort him.
Just some advice.
The temporary train station on the Texas front line is already heavily guarded. Military police wearing red belts are standing everywhere. Anti-aircraft weapons such as anti-aircraft rockets are already in place. Three airships are floating quietly in the sky. I don’t know how many snipers are on guard.
With.
On the platform of the station, there was a red carpet, and a guard of honor composed of red-shirted cavalry stood aside. The red robes embroidered with tigers and leopards, polished breastplates and helmets, snow-white helmets, and shining sabers were breathtaking.
The spirit was shocked.
All foreign guests with the status of Marquis or above are qualified to greet the Ming Dynasty Supervisor. This is also the first time they have come to the train station. These foreigners find everything they see strange.
To save face, at the request of the Allied Forces Headquarters, they all wore their own national costumes, which were very fancy and interesting.
There was a whistle in the distance, the station bell rang, and several men in red hats came over with whips to chase people away. "Everyone, step back, step back, and stand behind the line." But the foreigners kept pushing forward.
They are about to see the legendary train. How can this not make them excited?
Lord Supervisor's special train drove into the station with a puff of white smoke. The huge red wheels and thick crankshaft, as well as the smoke spewing out of the chimney and the long body of the train made the foreigners shudder.
"This is a train. It runs so fast. I heard it can run seventy miles in half an hour." A foreigner with yellow hair exclaimed.
"Irish native, you don't understand. This train only runs so fast while lying down. If you stand up and run, it will be at least 150 versts in half an hour. Don't you believe it? I heard someone from the China Merchants Bureau say,
You can’t be wrong.” Judging from this person’s retroflexion, I’m afraid he’s from the Rakshasa Kingdom.

The train finally stopped, and hundreds of guards jumped out of the carriage. They were all wearing sunglasses and red shirts. At their waists were two muskets and a waist knife, and their cowhide armed belts were filled with yellow and orange bullets.
, and immediately pushed the foreigners roughly outside the cordon. The foreigners wanted to get angry but did not dare. These were the personal soldiers of the Lord Supervisor. Even if they took out a firecracker and invited them to eat some peanuts, it would not be a big deal.
of.
After finishing arranging the scene, Liu Ziguang calmly got off the train. He was still wearing a turban, a half-worn red shirt, black soft-soled boots, and only a red-shirt military-style waist knife hanging around his waist. He looked like an ordinary soldier.
A common red shirt young officer.
Although he was dressed very ordinary, no one could pretend to look down on the world. In the eyes of these foreign princes, Liu Ziguang carried an imperial bearing in every gesture, which deeply impressed them.
Without waiting for the officials of the Lifanyuan to say hello, the foreigners all knelt down in an uproar. Originally, the foreigners had made a fuss several times over the etiquette issue of kneeling. They said that the customs in their hometown were not good at kowtowing, and at most they knelt down on one leg.
It's just kneeling, and the Lifan Yuan didn't argue with them. They just said that if you don't kneel down and kowtow, you will be in trouble.
Unexpectedly, these foreign devils all knelt down without greeting, and they all bowed and kowtowed in full posture. Liu Ziguang smiled brightly when he saw them, and asked the greeting official: "Which countries are these people from? Please introduce them to me."
.”
In order to contact these foreign devils, the entire Lifan Yuan was dispatched and hired dozens of generals. They were able to identify them all, so an official pointed out to Liu Ziguang one by one the nationality, title, name, and how many people they had brought with them.
.
"This is His Majesty Mazari, the King of the Sikh Kingdom of India. He has led an elite Sikh army of 5,000 men, all of whom are nine-foot tall men."
"This is His Royal Highness Prince Baibar of Egypt. He has brought with him three thousand Mamluk cavalry. Their elite and brave men are not inferior to the Mongolian cavalry."
"This is His Majesty King Gustav of Sweden. He has brought with him two hundred sailors and three hundred swordsmen, all strong young men."
"This is the Grand Duke Kaganovich of the Rakshasa Kingdom. He has brought 10,000 Cossack cavalry and one of Hong Chengchou's heads, which can be regarded as a token of recognition."
"This is Marquis Marquis Marquis of Switzerland, who brought with him eight hundred halberdiers. They are all warriors who have fought in many battles."
Liu Ziguang looked over and nodded to these foreigners. They were so excited that they could only kowtow to death.
There were also some people who were acquaintances, such as people from Japan, Korea, Temasek, Song Dynasty, Zambia, Tubo and other countries. However, after a long introduction, people from two important countries were missing.
"Why didn't the King of England and the King of France send anyone to help in the battle?" Liu Ziguang asked.
"Lord Qi, the relationship between Britain and France and the Ming Dynasty has been somewhat tense recently, so..." The official of the Lifan Yuan hesitated to speak, for fear of angering the Supervisor.
"Oh, I understand. Foreign soldiers come to our country to help in the war. We cannot treat them badly. We must give them enough military pay and food, and we must also take care of their eating habits. Those who should be halal should be halal, and those who should make curry rice should make curry rice.
There is also alcohol, which must be managed adequately. It is not easy for foreigners to leave their hometowns, so you must bear in mind."
After Liu Ziguang's teachings, the officials of the Lifan Academy quickly took out their notebooks and charcoal pens to write them down. Those foreigners who knew a little bit of Chinese were even moved to tears, lying on the ground and shouting "Long Live Your Majesty."
After meeting with all the foreigners and inspecting the honor guard, Liu Ziguang entered the camp to discuss matters. He inspected the troops from all walks of life, a total of 132,000 people. The ammunition, equipment, food, grass, and military uniforms were all in good order. If he attacked Dezhou, he was sure of victory, but the enemy troops in Dezhou were
They are also armed to the teeth, with cannons and muskets ready. If they attack the generals in two blows, the common people will be destroyed.
The enemy in front of him was led by Yuan Chonghuan himself. It was not that easy to instigate rebellion. Liu Ziguang did not want to waste time, energy, money or lives, so he still sacrificed his magic weapon. The navy Bu Yong landed at Dagukou, and the red shirt airborne troops rushed directly to Beijing.
The cavalry units were broken into pieces and interspersed with the enemy.
Later, the grain road traffic was destroyed, and the airship jamming station blocked all telecommunications in Hebei, so that the enemy lost the function of radio command. Nanchang fanzi disguised himself and entered the enemy-occupied area to instigate rebellion, bribe and assassinate enemy military and political officials. In short, he used all means to win
