Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 74
The governors from all over the country are trying to prepare some rare and dignified gifts for the emperor's wedding, but in order to show their integrity, the gifts should not be too expensive.When everyone was troubled, in the Mongolian army camp in Mobei.Nie Shicheng and several of his leaders are discussing how to deal a certain degree of blow to the Russian soldiers entering the country.

Winter in Mobei is a very difficult season, with ice and snow everywhere.When the weather is dozens of degrees below zero, you have to wear a bayonet to urinate in the wild, otherwise you will get a popsicle.From time to time, I used a bayonet to smash the popsicles, and the Mauser in my hand couldn't even pull the bolt. One can imagine the bad weather.

The four Biaotong and Nie Shicheng who were summoned temporarily in the barracks were discussing something around a bonfire.

"Junmen, how the hell are you going to fight this battle? What orders did those people in the Ministry of War give? I have been fighting for so many years, but I don't understand it." A bearded general with a full beard Said.

"That's right, Junmen. When we were fighting the French, we asked for the battle several times but failed to approve it. We had to guard against the Russians in this hellish place. The Russians really entered the country and plundered, and the Ministry of War said that we could not fight on two fronts. Wait until the French are defeated first. Now it’s all right, the French have also been driven away, and it’s our turn, and we are not allowed to chase the enemy. What kind of battle is this?? This whole Mobei A plain, unobstructed, the Russian devils will run into our arms by themselves? How can they beat the Russians if they don't let the pursuit??" Another older general also said angrily.

When everyone heard the words, they all said yes, how could they be so open when fighting against France.Fight as you like, Liu Mingchuan destroyed the total production of shells of the Hubei Firearms Bureau for three months in two days in the Hucheng Fortress.But now when he came to him, he tied his hands and feet.Don't let this, don't let that.

Nie Shicheng fiddled with the bonfire with a wooden branch in his hand, repeating the telegram from the Ministry of War over and over again in his mind.

"If the Russians enter the country again without reason, they can be attacked head-on. Remember not to chase the enemy, especially out of the border."

What happened to the court?Even dared to fight against France at sea, and was so afraid of being harassed by a small Russian army.If you don't let the enemy chase you, how can you fight?
Because of the terrain, Mobei is a hotbed of cavalry.There are no mountains, no plateaus.There are only patches of grassland.It was also the Russian cavalry who entered the border to plunder, and when they encountered the Qing troops, they turned around and returned.If the pursuit is not allowed, unless the Russian blindly hits his arms.Otherwise, don't even think about winning the battle.

"Military sect, generals do not accept military orders abroad. Let's not worry about those idiots in the military department, how can they fight any kind of war? We fight as we want." The bearded general said.

"Nonsense, do you think it's still the same. Does the Ministry of War have the authority to directly issue combat missions to me?" Nie Shicheng's mind is still relatively clear.

"Ah? Junmen, you mean the order from the Military Aircraft Department?" the bearded man asked in surprise, his eyes glowing.

"I can't even see it. Nine times out of ten, the little emperor made it himself." Nie Shicheng continued to fiddle with the wooden branch in his hand.

"Junmen, what does the emperor mean? Since we are allowed to fight the Russians, but not let us fight hard, what do you want to do?" The older general said impatiently.

"Damn, I know why I still want you to come here? Let's make a total calculation, don't worry about why the emperor wants us to do this. Now that the order has been issued, we must resolutely carry it out! Luo Ming, tell us what we can do. Hit?" Nie Shicheng pointed the wooden branch in his hand at the young man who hadn't spoken to him.

Everyone's eyes turned to this humble white-faced scholar, he was the first batch of army generals trained by the Qing Dynasty itself.He is the first batch of graduates of Heilongjiang Military Academy.He was assigned to the nearby Nie Shicheng Department as a battalion commander. Due to his outstanding ability and excellent military technology.With a stomach full of ink, he was transferred to Lu Yiwei's department in the original position to supplement the vacancy in the position for studying in Germany.He was promoted to standard by Nie Shicheng.He is also a member of the first phase of the Black Army that the whole world will fear in the future.

Luo Ming calmed down a little, and said calmly, "Back to the military gate, the purpose of the Russian invasion may be because the Russian army north of the border is in Siberia, and the environment and climate are far worse than ours. The place is even worse, and their country’s economic center of gravity is far away in Europe, so they can’t get supplies, so they repeatedly went south to plunder. In addition to wanting to occupy more land from our Qing Dynasty, the more important thing may be to rob supplies.”

Nie Shicheng nodded frequently when he heard this. It turned out that he didn't want to start a war with Qing Dynasty.No wonder the emperor only told us to dare them to go back and not let us chase after them.

"Then how do we fight this battle?" the bearded man chased after him and asked.

"Since the supplies are their goal, why don't we send out a few supply troops? Are we afraid that they won't come to snatch them? As long as they come, we will let them come and go. If this is the case, how can we talk about chasing the enemy?" Luo Ming said unhurriedly.

"Ah? Xiucai, it turns out that you already have a plan. Then why did you pretend to be reserved just now, you don't have to worry about me for so long if you say it earlier. Hahaha, Junmen, I think it is feasible." The bearded man said grinningly. with.

Nie Shicheng threw the wooden branch in his hand into the bonfire, and said firmly: "That's it, Li Hui, go back and prepare two or three companies to prepare some supplies for me to go out for a while. Luo Ming, you take this standard tenth battalion People and horses are ready to respond at any time."

"twitter."

"twitter."

After leaving the tent, everyone left in four directions: southeast, northwest, respectively.

A cavalry force of about 200 people dragged more than [-] carts of grain and grass on the endless grassland and slowly marched towards the camp where the troops stationed in advance.

"Company Commander, this place is not far from the Darkhan Grassland. The troops should be in front. If you don't let the brothers work harder and march through the night, we can arrive early tomorrow morning." A soldier named Wang Yue said.

The company commander looked at the sky, then looked at the soldiers behind and said: "The team is tired, and it's getting late. Old Maozi often haunts here, so let's rest where we are. Send out guard posts around the team, and the rest Rest in place."

"Yes."

The group of people who transported the grain and grass had already been so tired that they couldn't feel the bumps on the horseback.After hearing the order to rest in place, they immediately formed a circle and lit a fire as usual.It may be the happiest thing to roast a fire for a while in this icy and snowy place. Unexpectedly, the company commander who escorted the food and grass kicked the fire out as soon as the fire was lit, turned around and left without saying anything.

The captain of the transport team who brought the food was Zhuo Yan, a man from Manchuria, a man from Zhengbaiqi.It is said that the Zhengbai Banner belongs to the Shangsan Banner, and with this status, it is possible to live a pleasant life by raising flowers and birds in the capital.After all, most bannermen do this, but he doesn't. He would rather be the captain of the transportation team.He also didn't want to stay at home alone, this guy is also a donkey, seeing the officer who escorted the food and grass kicked the fire away, he cursed: "You son of a bitch, I am here to deliver the army food for you, not to be angry. "

The old soldier sitting next to him pulled Zhuo Yan and said: "You can't light a fire here, the old Maozi's cavalry often hang around here, and it's easy to attract them if you light a fire.

Hearing this, Zhuo Yan turned his head and took a look, and saw that the soldiers didn't light the fire, but ate dry food silently. Immediately, Zhuo Yan felt ashamed and understood the company commander's actions without any resentment.

In fact, in Zhuo Yan's mind, the Manchus were still the masters of the previous tiger and wolf team.It's just that he hasn't practiced using firearms before, and the words "Jurchens are less than ten thousand, but ten thousand are invincible" have always been kept in his heart.My ancestors were so brave and invincible, how come my generation has to rely on the Han people to win the battle.
