Supporting the body in the white blade, wandering in the red dust

Chapter 890
When attacking a bastion in the era of cold weapons, the defenders they faced were still using firearms, which meant that the attackers intended to massacre their own soldiers.To deal with the bastion, you have to work in tunnels, or simply use heavy artillery to lob to solve the problem, or you can easily handle it with aviation.However, there are none in this era, so Bailang only plans to build bastions on several important routes outside the capital to block passages.

This is a systematic and continuous line of defense. The capital itself was originally the center of the northern defense line of the Ming Dynasty, and Bailang just added a few bastions on its outside to strengthen the defense. The bastions are equipped with barracks, which is enough to make any army that hit the capital despair ——They had to pull out these fortresses one by one and annihilate the troops in them before they could face the capital, otherwise they would face the enemy.

"It should be the day when it will never be used." Bailang said, the difficulty of building a bastion is not high, and Bailang also came up with a Portland cement formula of fly ash - anyway, the left and right are sintered with limestone and then ground. Combined with yellow sand and gravel, it can be used to quickly build a strong fortress.

After Enke, the official imperial examinations will also be held. At this time, news came from Nanjing that Hai Rui was seriously ill and asked to retire. Bailang persuaded him to stay three times out of rules, and then approved the old gentleman to retire and return to his hometown. "This old man has not been alive for a few years, so let him go back to his hometown." Hai Gangfeng can only be said to be an upright official, and his political ability is also mediocre. As for the case?Bailang thinks that the old man is really bad, he can only be said to be an ordinary fair referee, an old guy who is fooled by people casually.

Old-fashioned but upright, easy to be deceived, the so-called gentleman can be deceived is all the skills of this old gentleman. "It's for viewing, but it's not very good for use." It's not a pity for Bailang to let Hai Rui become an official. Most of the people he uses now are also cunning, soft-bodied guys, but almost all of them are a little talented. "Great treachery, great evil, great wisdom and great courage, such people are rare nowadays."

The current elders are mostly mediocre. The former ones, except for the original chief assistant, have already been slaughtered by the whole family. The capital was full of killings, and even more than half of the grand dukes in the Forbidden City were gone.Right now, the guys in the inner court have become a team of secretaries, and they only dare to handle the memorials for Bailang step by step-most of the affairs are handed over to the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies, so he just takes a look.

Every day, the supervisor of ceremonies has to sort out a briefing on the day's affairs and show it to Bailang, and he counts after reading it.

Although Bailang himself did not move, he sent Qi Jiguang as the commander-in-chief and took his Zhejiang soldiers and some Shandong soldiers to Liaodong. The order given to him was to replace Li Chengliang and transfer all the original Liaodong generals back to the court. The horse was rectified by Qi Jiguang. "Choose one out of ten, there is no need to deploy so many soldiers and horses in Liaodong." Bailang said.

As for Liaodong's generals and Li Chengliang, will they be rebellious and act like a yang and yin to violate their self-respect?Bailang is happy to see the success, if there is a big one, he can try it, but Bailang just killed Mongolia, at least for decades, NMG people can't do anything.It happened that most of the soldiers and horses were abolished and reorganized into battalion heads defending the city and mobile field troops.

In Bailang's view, the 70 soldiers on the Nine Sides are useless, and a considerable part of them are unbearable to fight. Bailang plans to eliminate at least half of these troops. In his opinion, except for a few key points on the border, there will be some garrison troops. The real elite should It should be organized into several mobile combat groups and deployed in important places that are convenient for internal maneuvers.

"Otherwise, throwing so much money every year would be like throwing it into the water." Bailang said, for example, there are almost 5000 troops in Liaodong now, and Bailang plans to leave a total of about [-] people stationed in a few key guards—of course, all of them will be changed to The bastion, the real field force in Liaodong only needs [-] or so, and it is placed in Shenyang.

There are almost 9 or [-] people in Jizhou, and Bailang is going to cut them all. At most, a total of [-] people will be deployed in several places and Zunhua and Qian'an as guards. The elite of the three major battalions of the capital to solve it-all these lines of defense are also set up with bastions and traffic ditches.

The reason for the layoffs is entirely because Bailang has restored the Great Ningwei and deployed a cavalry force of tens of thousands of people. Besides, the Mongols have almost been defeated, and two-thirds of the Mongols who are still alive on the entire Mongolian Plateau It has already been ordered to change Chinese names, learn Chinese words, and practice Chinese customs. At the same time, it is necessary to divide the regions and set up counties to be managed by county magistrates and prefects. "This place was originally the land of my Han family, so it is natural to go to the county." Bailang said the same.

The entire Xuan Mansion was abolished, except for the soldiers who collected taxes and guards at the three passes, the remaining 8 people were all abolished, because Bailang had already pushed the line of defense beyond Yehuling, and used mobile forces on the vast land. To force if there are still unconvinced Mongolian tribes to carry out defensive warfare.The armies in Datong and Shanxi were also laid off, and Bailang also planned to reorganize them into a field force and station them in Datong.

Similarly, Gansu and other towns have been recovered because the Hetao has been recovered, and the main force has also been cut off and replaced with a total of about 5 mobile forces stationed in Jiuquan, Lanzhou and other places, all of which are mobile defenses.There is no fixed national border now, and Daming has already extended its tentacles to the territory of the four towns of Datang.

"Now it's the Han family's turn to use slaughter as farming. In ancient times, only bones and yellow sand fields have been seen." Bailang believed that the Mongols would soon become good at singing and dancing.After he killed the Jurchen, he should sing "Hanging Hu Qingtian, Buried Hu Zisai. No one, Han Daochang. Your Majesty's life is three thousand frosts. But the song is so powerful, and the warriors guard the four directions !"

As for the barbarians?Is that a problem?Those chieftains are nothing.Bailang is even going to push the front line all the way to the Indochina Peninsula, and North Korea is a poor place. Besides, these sticks are always submissive, and let them go-let them die of poverty. This is the political system of North Korea. Much more decadent than Daming.

As for Japan, Bailang didn't think about conquering Japan before he had a strong enough navy. He had no feelings for Japan - he could use economic means to plunder, and there was no need to use military means to increase his own cost.The island country of Japan is such an example. It would be more costly to rule it directly. Bai Lang felt that it was better to order the shogunate to switch and let the Ming businessmen come in and out.

Qi Jiguang led about [-] people to leave the capital and walk through the Liaoxi Corridor to exit the customs. Along the way, he also began to reorganize the local guards. So far, there have been no thorns.
