Chapter 23: Northern Expedition Sworn Master(1/3)

"Commander, I forgive you for having the audacity to say anything but not listening.【】"

When Zhao Qiang and the generals were happy, Pan Mei suddenly said something with a hint of worry. After hearing his words, the generals all came to him strangely, not understanding what "not listening" meant. Baihu Zhao

De was Pan Mei's commander. When he saw him suddenly saying something out of tune, he became anxious and worried that this guy was talking nonsense in front of the commander. Zuo Mingnan, Qian Lin and other officers of the rear division also "clucked."

Suddenly, my heart slowly lifted.

Zhao Qiang was not surprised. Hesheng said to Pan Mei, "Come and listen."

"Yes, Commander!" After Zhao Qiang agreed, Pan Mei took a deep breath, pointed to her subordinates who were only wearing cotton uniforms and said: "The sergeants have trained hard and have achieved results, but most of our rearguard divisions are not armored.

Once they reach the battlefield and the two armies clash, the casualties are bound to be huge. As far as the last two hundred men are concerned, they can be considered elite soldiers when they advance and retreat, attack and kill, but once they really fight, with just one round of arrows, it is estimated that more than half of them will be killed or injured.

In this way, I fear that the entire army will be annihilated before we can reach the enemy's formation, so I would like to ask the commander-in-chief to armor our rearguard division as soon as possible!"

"I am making preparations for this matter. I will never let you charge into battle with your flesh and blood."

Zhao Qiang was also a little helpless. What Pan Mei said was true. No matter how good his skills were, he had to have the opportunity to get close to the enemy's formation. But at present, the entire rearguard division except for hundreds of leather and cotton armors seized from the Qing army,

There is no armor to wear anymore. In other words, under the fire of the Qing army's bows and arrows, the rearguard divisions can only be living targets. They have to risk huge casualties to get close to the Qing army. By then, this combat effectiveness is estimated to be

There aren't many left. Zhao Qiang thought of this problem when Chen Ang suggested clearing the uniform. However, with Guan Ningjun's current smelting ability, he can only barely meet the demand for fire guns, and he can no longer bear the responsibility of building armor, let alone

There is a lack of workers in this field. Cotton armor and leather armor are feasible, but where does the cotton come from and where does the fur come from, especially when assembled in large numbers in such a short period of time, it is simply impossible.

It was impossible to equip the rearguard divisions with armor. The only thing that could be done was how to use them. Zhao Qiang thought over and over again and decided on the strategy of putting the cavalry division in front, the rearguard division in the rear, and the guards division to form the formation, that is, with the

When the Qing army faced off, they would first use the muskets of the guards division to attract the opponent's cavalry to attack, and then use the cavalry division to attack their infantry. After the Qing army was in chaos, they would suppress the rear guard division. In this way, the minimum

To a certain extent, the loss of combat effectiveness caused by the rearguard division's lack of armor is reduced.

One battle will determine the outcome! Only by destroying the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Qing Army in one battle can all the strategic materials that Guan Ning's army lacks be obtained from the Qing army. To paraphrase a famous saying from later generations, "The Chairman of the Generalissimo is our logistics transport

"Brigade", now, Zhao Qiang wants the weapons, armor, horses, and food that Kangxi carefully prepared for his Northern Expedition army to become the weapons of Guan Ning's army to subvert him!

"Our Guan Ning Army has too many difficulties at the moment. There are many things that I am unable to do, but I am not strong enough. Well, but don't worry, I will solve a group of armored ones for you first."

Since Pan Mei said it in front of him, Zhao Qiang had to express his gratitude by squeezing out some armors and evening them out from the cavalry division. In addition, he would find a way to have the manufacturing bureau make some leather armors for use first. Well, the army

Cao also had armors stripped from the bodies of Volha's 500 soldiers with yellow flags. Together they could solve part of the problem, and they would definitely not frustrate the rearguard division.

"Thank you, Marshal!"

This time, Zuo Mingnan led a group of subordinates to kneel down. With the commander-in-chief's promise, a group of soldiers would come down. This made Zuo Mingnan and his subordinates eager to prove themselves in the war against the Qing Dynasty.

Some confidence.

After praising Pan Mei a few times and calling a few soldiers to "care" for her, Zhao Qiang led the crowd to leave the school grounds and return to the headquarters of the rearguard division.

"Is there anyone in any department who is dissatisfied with Chineseization?"

"There are complaints, and it's difficult to learn, but the sergeants are still willing to accept things from us Han people."

"So good."

Zhao Qiang glanced approvingly at Zuo Mingnan and his subordinates, changed the topic, and said in a deep voice: "Information has been passed on. The Qing court's Northern Expedition Army set out from the capital on the 24th of the month, and should have arrived in Ninggu by now.

Tower, we can arrive in Heilongjiang within this month. We are almost ready, the war is about to begin, life or death, success or failure depends on this battle!"

On February 24, the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi's reign, the square outside the Meridian Gate was covered with red makeup and paved with jade. Six thousand sergeants with helmets and armor were lined up in three formations on the east, west and south sides of the square.

The formation, under the sunlight, stood motionless like steel poured into copper. Peng Chun and deputy general Lang Tan, who were ordered to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, had returned to the capital six days ago, and now they are together

Surrounded by the generals of the Eight Banners, they were standing in front of Youye Gate, waiting for the emperor's arrival.

Hearing the news that the emperor was going to send a large army to conquer the red-haired Rakshasa demons, the people in the capital were also excited. People crowded the streets, held jacquard candles, and waited to pay homage to the majestic military power of the Eight Banners athletes.

At three quarters of noon, with a melodious sound of bells and drums, the earth-shattering sound of cannons rang out from under the Meridian Gate. Teams held dragon flags, and Baoban's chamberlain came out from the Meridian Gate. Then, eighteen more people came out from the Meridian Gate.

The palace guards formed a square formation and walked majestically through the Meridian Gate. Afterwards, two important ministers, Mingzhu and Suo'etu, rode out on tall horses, wearing military uniforms and swords, and led a group of imperial guards out.

Peng Chun and Lang Tan, who were standing in the center of the square, knew that the emperor was about to come out, so they nodded to the two lieutenants beside them. After receiving the hint from the coach, the two hurriedly raised the sword given by the emperor. In an instant, the horn sounded.

The sound shook the sky! Hearing the sound of the trumpet, the six Manchus and Han Shang who were on standby hurriedly led the hundreds of officials to fall down on the ground, perform the grand ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, dancing in the dust, and shouting three times long live. The six thousand armored sergeants also gave out the mountain call at the same time.

A tsunami-like cry:

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live the emperor!"

In the midst of the cheers, Kangxi wore a golden helmet on his head, a leopard tail armor, and a wide cloak. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. Around his waist was a jade belt inlaid with gold, red, and shining gems. I saw him pressing his hands.

Sword, with steady steps, he climbed onto the imperial platform set up in front of the Meridian Gate. Under his dark thick eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes sparkled in the sunlight, looking particularly energetic. Today, Kangxi's heart was as excited as those in the square.

Hundreds of officials and sergeants, no less than hundreds of thousands of Beijing citizens on the streets. Looking at the stern military appearance below, the high morale, and listening to the deafening cheers, his heart was full of pride and confidence. He gently

The ground raised his hands to greet the three armies. Downstairs, there was immediately a cries of crows, except for the "whooshing" sound made by the north wind.

"Soldiers! The Rakshasa traitors are extremely ambitious. For more than ten years, they have colluded with the Mongolian tribes to invade our land, massacre my cities, kill my people, destroy the place where my ancestors were born, and disturb my people's livelihood. This is unbearable.

, This is intolerable! Now I have ordered an army to march north to suppress the Rakshasa traitors!" As he said this, he pulled out a gold-inlaid eagle-feathered arrow from his waist, and with a "pop" sound, he split it into two pieces: "The army sets off.

After that, if there is anyone who is timid when facing the enemy, disobeys orders and delays the military aircraft, it will be like this arrow!"

In the Meridian Square, six thousand sergeants were inspected, all of whom were well-trained elite soldiers from various battalions in the capital. After hearing the emperor's words, they all knelt down on one knee along with their commander Peng Chun and replied loudly: "Immortal Luo

Sha, I swear not to return the favor!"

"Raise the flag!" Peng Chun raised his head and roared boldly.

The trumpet sound sounded again, and a bright yellow dragon flag slowly rose in the center of the square, facing the north wind and reaching the top of the pole. The prepared folk men, led by officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs, carried more than 500 large wine jars.

When they came to the square, they filled a large bowl of wine for each of the soldiers who went on the expedition. Mingzhu and Suo'etu also hurriedly held the wine bottles, came to the imperial platform and knelt in front of Kangxi, raised the wine bottles above their heads, and said loudly: "I respect you, slave."

Your Majesty, please drink from this cup. May our army be victorious and good news be heard as soon as possible!"

"Okay, I'll use this wine!"

Kangxi drank the wine bottle as soon as he drank it, and then shouted: "The three armies set off!"

Upon hearing the holy order, Peng Chun threw the big bowl in his hand to the ground with a bang, turned on his horse, and led the six thousand and eight banner athletes out of Beijing in a mighty manner against the howling north wind.

On March 16, Peng Chun led 2,000 firearms battalion, 1,300 guard troops, 1,400 cavalry battalions, and 1,300 forward troops to Ninggu Pagoda. At this point, together with Ninggu Pagoda's 1,000 soldiers

Five hundred people, 2,600 troops from the Eight Banners of Shandong, Shanxi, and Fujian provinces were transferred to the north. The guard commander Ma La led the forward camp with 200 troops, the guard camp with 400 troops, and Heilongjiang General Sabusu led 18 assistants and 4

The Northern Expedition Army, totaling 18,900 people including 1,900 soldiers and civilian and military personnel, has been mobilized.

The sky over Heilongjiang is filled with war clouds, and mountain rain is about to come.

The following is not used, it is to get Quanqin back to make up the words. Because I deleted the previous works, the background prompts that today’s update is minus 4,000, which means that today’s update does not count... I have no choice but to put these

Come back again, otherwise the three hundred yuan will be gone for perfect attendance. Please forgive me.

In today's Far East of Russia, more than 30 ethnic groups of different sizes have thrived here since ancient times. Although their levels of development vary widely, they have all made their own contributions to the creation of ancient civilization in this region. These ethnic groups are respectively

It belongs to the Ugor-Finnish language family, the Turkic language family, the Manchu-Tungus language family and the Ancient Asiatic language family. Its religious beliefs in ancient times were totem worship and primitive shamanism. Later, it gradually accepted foreign Buddhism, Christianity and Orthodox Christianity.

Generally speaking, the ethnic groups located in the south have a higher level of development, and some have reached the stage of feudal society. In addition, some ethnic groups were greatly influenced by the ancient country, and some areas were even under the jurisdiction of the dynasty and were part of the country.

The small ethnic groups in the north were very backward. Until the 16th and 17th centuries, most of the small ethnic groups were still at the end of primitive society but had just entered the stage of society. Let’s talk about the Heilongjiang Basin alone. Around 1050 BC, King Jifa of Zhou Wu, who was a mixed-blood Chinese and Qiang people, was wiped out.

Prince Xin, the last king of the Shang Dynasty who was of mixed Tungus and Chinese descent, founded the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Sushen of Heilongjiang offered bows and crossbows as tribute to the King of Zhou. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there were two major ethnic groups in the Heilongjiang Basin, Donghu and Yilou Sushen. They were both Tungusic peoples who worshiped totems and later believed in shamanism. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the Xiongnu subjugated their homeland, the Donghu

The Wuhuan tribe occupied the Mongolian Plateau and the Heilongjiang Plateau and became the pride of the grassland. The Wuhuan tribe was defeated by the Han Cao Cao. The Xianbei tribe of the Donghu ethnic group became stronger and controlled the Heilongjiang plateau and the Mongolian plateau. The Xianbei tribe was formed and divided into the Duan tribe and the Murong tribe.

, Qifu tribe, Tuoba tribe, Yu tribe, and Rouran tribe. After Xianbei moved south, the Rouran tribe replaced the Xianbei Mongolian and Heilongjiang tribes.

In 2000, the white and yellow mixed Turks destroyed Rouran. The northern branch of Rouran fled to the east of the Yablonov Mountains and the area south of the Waixing'an Mountains. They were the ancestors of Shiwei; the southern branch of Rouran fled to the Liaohe River.

You became the ancestor of the Khitan people. The Han people destroyed Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty, and the Goguryeo general Da Zuorong went to Heilongjiang to establish the Bohai Kingdom. The citizens were mainly Heishui Mo Brown from the Sanjiang Plain and Su Mo Mo Brown from today's Jilin Province. The king of Korea

The clan member Da Zuorong and his descendants gradually turned into Mo Brown and merged into Mo Brown.

In 917, the Khitan established the Liao Empire in Balinzuo Banner, destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, and ruled the Jurchens in the Bohai Kingdom, with the territory reaching the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. In 1115, the indigenous Jurchens in Heilongjiang established the Great Jin Kingdom in Acheng, and got rid of the Liao Dynasty.

Independence, the Liao Empire was destroyed in 1125. The Khitan Yelu Dashi led some of the survivors to Asia to rebuild the Liao Empire, called Western Liao. The Shiwei people evolved into the Mongols, and the Heilongjiang River Basin was under the jurisdiction of the Liaoyang Province of the Yuan Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, the Han people conquered

Kuwu Sakhalin Island established Nurgan Province on Temple Street at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, which governed the Heilongjiang Basin. In 1616, the Jurchens, an indigenous ethnic group in Heilongjiang, gained independence from the Ming Dynasty and established the Later Jin Dynasty. At that time, to the east of the Greater Khingan Range was the Hercynian Jurchens.

The Sanjiang Plain is home to the Savage Jurchens, and Jilin Province is home to the Jianzhou Jurchens. The Sihot Mountains and Sakhalin Island are home to the Hezhe people. The Ewenki people live from the coast of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk south along the Xing'an Mountains outside the Udi River to the Ergun River.

The Saurons, Yakuts, and Oroqen people live in the Zeya River. They are all local indigenous people, the Tungus nation, and are governed by the Houjin. To the east of Lake Baikal live the Buryat Mongols, who are not governed by the Houjin.

This was the reason why the Qing Dynasty later ceded the east side of Lake Baikal to Tsarist Russia in the Treaty of Nerchinsk. Before the end of the 16th century, Siberia and the Far East were not Russian territory.

During this period, Russia had just formed a unified centralized state, with a territory of only 200,000 square kilometers. It was located in the corner of Northeast Europe, far away from Siberia. From the 16th century when Tsar Ivan IV came to power, Russia began to move eastward.

It expanded, gradually annexing large areas of Siberia and the Far East, and extending its territory to the Pacific coast. In the process of Tsarist Russia's expansion to the east, the first obstacle encountered was the Siberian Khanate adjacent to Russia.

In 1556, the Tsar summoned the Stroganov family, which was adjacent to the Siberian Khanate, to inquire about the border situation, and authorized them to resist the Siberian Khanate. He ordered them to build fortifications near the Siberian Khanate, recruit troops, and purchase weapons.

Waiting for an opportunity to invade and occupy the Siberian Khanate. In 1574, the Tsar again issued an order, allowing the Stroganov family to build cities and recruit troops on the east side of the Ural Mountains - the Ob River and its tributaries, the Tula River, the Tobol River and the Irtysh River.

At this point, Russia directly expanded its power into the territory of the Siberian Khanate. The Strogano family, adhering to the will of the Tsar, invaded the Siberian Khanate many times and had fierce conflicts with the people of the Khanate.

In 1579, the Stroganov family sent someone to contact the Cossack leader Yermak, who had been severely punished by the Tsar, and encouraged him to join the group to conquer the Siberian Khanate and help the Tsar expand the territory. In 151, after long preparations,

, Yermak led a team of 40 people, armed with the weapons of the Stroganov family, to conquer Siberia. The Tsarist Russian army advanced along the waterway, passed the Chusovaya River, climbed over the Ural Mountains, and crossed the Serebryanka River.

Tagil River, Tula River, Tobol River, and finally invaded the Irtysh River.

On October 26, 151, they captured Kashrek, the capital of the Siberian Khanate. Yermak and his group made military exploits for Russia's expansion. The tsarist government decided to pardon Yermak and others, commended their actions and awarded them a large amount of salary.
