The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 857
Most civil and military generals in the system have seen bicycle infantry in training, and of course they understand the benefits of bicycles.

Knowing that having rubber can not only make bicycles better, but also save more costs, they all have a further understanding of obtaining rubber in large quantities.

At the end of the discussion, Huang Han continued his speech, and the first sentence disappointed everyone, "Everyone, although the territory of the 'Red Banner Army' system is not small, there is no place suitable for planting rubber trees, and there is no place in the entire Ming Dynasty where rubber trees can be planted on a large scale. many.

Because rubber trees like high temperature, high humidity, calm wind and fertile soil, the average annual temperature is required to reach 26 degrees. "

The "Red Banner Army" system not only unified weights and measures, but also formulated several standards.

The world's most widely used temperature scale "Celsius" proposed by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius 100 years later is now widely used in the "Red Banner Army" system.

Under a standard atmospheric pressure, the temperature of a pure mixture of ice and water is zero degrees, and the boiling point of water is one hundred degrees, which is divided into one hundred parts on average, and each equal part is one degree. It is easy to understand and remember. The junior high school of the "Red Banner Army" system Students are able to master it proficiently.

The civil and military generals were surprised to learn that the growth requirement of rubber trees is close to summer all year round, and they whispered for a while.

Hanzi stood up and said loudly: "Brother Han, you said that there are not many places where rubber trees can be planted in Daming, but you didn't say no. As long as there is land, it will be easy. Our 'Red Banner Army' can go wherever they want to farm. Dare to stop it?"

Zhang Fengyi asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know where in Ming Dynasty is suitable for large-scale planting of rubber trees? The officials are willing to go to Beijing to negotiate so that the 'Red Banner Army' can arrange people to cultivate them."

Huang Han pointed to Hainan Island and Annan on the map, and said: "My Hainan Island in the Ming Dynasty, Cochin Cheng, which is now occupied by the Great Viet Kingdom, can be planted in tropical areas such as Little Luzon, which was stolen by the Spaniards.

Next year we will be able to obtain the magic medicine to cure malaria, which means that the 'Red Banner Army' no longer has to worry about going to those places in the far south, resulting in large-scale attrition due to infectious diseases. "

Hanzi stood up again and shouted loudly: "Brother Han, I ask for orders to go to war, and Jiaozhicheng announced that the political envoy has been taken away by the little Dayue Kingdom for more than a hundred years, and it is time to regain his homeland.

I lead the battalion directly under me. With the assistance of a battalion of marines and [-] warships participating in the battle, I will surely be able to lay down enough land to plant rubber trees. "

Huang Han smiled and said: "Sit down, fool, the country is poor and the people are weak, how can you stop the elite of the 'Red Banner Army', I believe you can do it.

However, before obtaining the magic medicine to cure malaria, the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" were rashly dispatched to fight in an environment where they were unfamiliar and unable to adapt to the climate. If an epidemic broke out, there might be a risk of annihilation of the entire army.

Therefore, this year and next year, we will temporarily not consider taking back Annan and Champa. "

Hanzi said cheerfully: "I understand. Our first task is to complete the five-year flat Liao Dynasty, and then we will consider recovering Jiaozhi. It should be possible to start action in the year after next."

Huang Han said: "Generals, don't be impatient. Haste makes waste. The 'Red Banner Army' must not only attack the enemy without interruption, but also do what is within its capabilities. Fight to support war, and strengthen itself in uninterrupted warfare.

In the future, we will formulate an attack plan every year, not only to conquer the north, but also to develop to the south, and to face the other side of the ocean, put swords and guns into Kuma and release Nanshan. Our generation should not be too demanding, and soldiers will always go out at any time without disarming their armor will be normalized. "

Hanzi was very happy, "Hahaha..." laughed out loud, clapped his hands and said:
"That's great. I'm still worried that after three or two years, the Jiannu will perish and the bandits will stop. What will I do in the future? Will the subordinates under the command of the dragon and the tiger make trouble while idle? It's all right now, and I can never leave the barracks."

Hanzi is really happy, and there are not many senior generals of the "Red Banner Army" who feel the same way as Hanzi.Who wouldn't want to defend the land and open up the frontiers!Even Sun Chuanting, Sun Yuanhua, Jin Sheng and other civil officials were all blushing.

Liang Tingdong was a senior member of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty for several years, and of course he knew the whole story of Annan's gain and loss.

The ancient Annan only included the northern part of Vietnam, and did not include the southern region, which was the ancient Champa state.

Annan has been Chinese territory since the Qin Dynasty in the third century BC. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the tenth century AD, Annan rebelled, split from China, and established the Dai Viet Dynasty.

The Northern Song Dynasty, which basically unified China again, was unable to suppress the rebellion, but the Dai Viet Kingdom had always been a vassal state of the feudal dynasties in China.

In the fourth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the aggressive Ming Chengzu Zhu Di sent Zhang Fu to lead his army deep into Annan for two years, and captured 48 prefectures and counties, with a population of more than three million.

Ming Chengzu changed Annan to Jiaozhicheng and announced the political envoy. Since then, Annan has officially become an administrative region of the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that Ming Dynasty should be the "fourteen" provinces of the two capitals in Ming Chengzu's time.

But this situation didn't last long, and Annan's troops were in trouble after that.

Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji was tired of successive years of war, and the Ming army was overwhelmed by endless guerrilla warfare. The taxes received from Jiaozhi Cheng's announcement of the political envoy were far from enough for military supplies.

The short-sighted Zhu Zhanji voluntarily withdrew the [-] garrison in Annan and abandoned Cochin Province, which enabled the rebellious Le Loi to establish the country and proclaim himself emperor, and established the post-Le Dynasty regime of Dai Viet.

Liang Tingdong heard Huang Han's implication that he would recapture Annan and resume the Jiaozhi inheritance. He was so excited that he stood up and said:
"It was really short-sighted for Xuanzong to give up Jiaozhi, and it was also because there were too many swords and soldiers, and the distance was too long, and the difficulties in supplying and increasing troops made the court feel overwhelmed.

The current situation is completely different. The Longwu Navy has a strong combat capability, and the "Sun Moon Sea Transport" has an unparalleled transport capacity. My "Red Banner Army" can quickly complete the delivery of troops and supplies from the sea.

Cochin and Champa are narrow and long areas close to the sea, and it is easy to complete the division and encirclement.Xiaguan fully supported the attack on the Dayue Kingdom and regained the lost ground. "

Liang Tingdong, an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, kept saying "I am the Red Banner Army", which made the senior generals present feel comfortable and gave Huang Han a sense of accomplishment.

Sun Chuanting is full of enthusiasm. He is a military madman, and he is even more keen on fighting on the battlefield. At this moment, his heart is surging, he stood up and said loudly: "My lord, I am willing to participate in the 'Red Banner Army''s southern expedition, regain the homeland of Jiaozhi, and don't hesitate to shroud your body in horse leather!"

Chen Qiyu, Jin Sheng, etc. all stood up and expressed their willingness to participate in the battle to regain Jiaozhi, even Wu Xiang, Jiang Xin, and Ruan Dacheng refused to fall to anyone, and no one persuaded Huang Han not to start the war again.

It can be seen that the successive victories in the military made the civilian and military generals of the "Red Banner Army" system not afraid of war at all, but eager to win military achievements and fame.
