Chapter 0130 looking at the west road
Zhuo Fan suddenly thought of a serious problem and quickly asked, "Wang Yu! How are the casualties in Lianyunzhai?
Wang Yu was stunned, grabbed his head and said, "Well, this, there is no careful statistics. We were busy looking for the gold spinning wheel. When we found it, we withdrew it according to the boss's instructions. This, this, if you want to count it, it will take a long time.
Er, Zhuo Fan was dumbfounded and had already thought of it. Such a big movement, 600 fire mines, how can there be fewer deaths and injuries? Looking at the continuous black smoke, I'm afraid that the whole village has not been razed to the ground. Shit, this is troublesome.
Looking up at the sky, Zhuo Fan quickly said to Bai Bing.
"The whole team quickly, camped 30 miles to the west, and was strictly guarded. This dead Wang Yu, attacked me so hard."
No one understands why he is so nervous except extraordinary. The whole village has been pulled out, and the Dragon Army was almost unharmed. Lianyunzhai suffered heavy casualties. What's the fear? Can anyone else break through the blockade of these 2,000 dragons? After this victory, the Shenlong army's attention to and dependence on the firearms in their hands reached a new level.
Although I am doubtful, the execution of extraordinary orders is not compromised. Still centered on the carriages and horses of Zhuo Fan and small bells, it restored the opening of the road of the first three battalions to escort the second battalion. The troops quickly pulled 30 miles west of the lakeside. At this time, it was almost evening, and the team also began to camp.
At this time, the fertile land of China is still vast and sparsely populated. Although this is the hinterland of the Central Plains, with a relatively dense population and villages and fields can be seen everywhere, natural forests can also be seen everywhere. Although there will be no thousands of miles of primitive forests in the wilderness, the wood that has been scarce in modern society is still very scarce at this time. Rich.
After the return of Zhuo Extraordinary, the Shenlong Army has made minor adjustments in its establishment. The most important thing is to increase the establishment of a class below the 100-person platoon, with 10 people in one class, and there are two head and deputy squad leaders like their superiors. In this way, one is to facilitate the selection of talents in the future, and the other is that outstanding people have long-term plans in the future.
At present, compared with the modern army, the rough management method obviously needs to be continuously improved. And what Zhuo Bufan finally wanted to build was not just a single musket light cavalry armed with dragons. In his vision, it will eventually form a composition similar to that of a modern elite army. The class composed of firepower, long-range and special arms are the neurons of the army and the most basic component units of the Dragon Army. The neurons are combined with artillery battalions and direct special battalions that may appear in the future, such as armored battalions, reconnaissance companies and even direct air forces. This is what extraordinary can think of at present, and it will eventually be built. An invincible army. Of course, these are all later words. Zhuo Fan knows that he can do a lot, but he also understands that he can't be fat in one bite. Many things are limited by many factors. For example, at present, personal security is the most important issue.
It is simple and the safest circular tent. In the innermost part of the three battalions, more than 100 tents are evenly surrounded by the main account, and the outermost part of the second battalion is surrounded by two more circles. In accordance with the extraordinary order, 24 alert patrols were sent in 100 platoons, which is the highest alert level.
The camp was skillful and fast, lit a bonfire, and cooked everyone's standard lunch box with dry food and so on. After eating and drinking, it was already dark. After a day of fighting, the Dragon Army soldiers felt very tired after the initial excitement period. When the moon had just climbed into the sky, there was already one after another snoring in the camp.
Under the simple tent made of ten tent skins, each of the Dragon Army soldiers laid a blanket on the bottom of the felt cloth. When it comes to personal equipment, it is worth mentioning that it is individual equipment in addition to personal military equipment. According to the standard of machine power first under the premise of ensuring combat ability, the personal living utensils of the Dragon Army are extremely simple but very practical. For example, each person has a special thin iron lunch box, a tough and light tent skin made of thin cowhide, two pieces of felt for sleeping, a short shovel, and a dry food bag that everyone can eat for seven days. These are all the living utensils you are carrying now. It is simple to say, but it embodies the wisdom of the experts in charge of the development of attachments of the Ordnance Bureau. For example, this lunch box can carry some fragmentary objects such as needles and threads, which can mend clothes or mend wounds. This wisdom is not an extraordinary masterpiece, but the wisdom of everyone. Under the guidance of extraordinary, military units to rear bases are gradually approaching modern military development. This is natural and inseparable from extraordinary guidance. Cheating can be accelerated, but relying on everyone's joint efforts, Zhuo Fan feels that this is the way to sustainable development. Isn't there a saying that we should take the road of sustainable development?
A slight footsteps of the patrol team came from outside the tent. Inside the main account, Zhuo Fan was accompanied by small bells, and he was a little restless. The 100-person guard also entered the highest state. Three shifts guarded outside the tent, but Zhuo Fan still had a bad feeling.
"Husband, you are a little strange today." The little bell snuggled next to Zhuo Fan, half leaning on the comfortable bedding taken from the carriage, and said with some worry.
Zhuo Bofan smiled bitterly, but he couldn't tell Xiao Lingdang that he was afraid of death. According to my own idea, it is not too much to let a hundred guards guard with live ammunition all night, but I also feel that this is a little too much. Perhaps, my worries are just unfounded.
"Nothing. By the way, little bell, tell me about your hometown Hami country." Zhuo extraordinary changed the topic and wanted to know more about the destination of his trip. For many days, he has not asked carefully except for the two people who are busy and attached to the world of Xiaoling.
The little bell nodded and talked about his hometown, but he became a little gloomy, "Oh, my Hami, in fact, is no longer a country."
As the little bell tells the story, the rise and fall of a small country in the Western Regions is displayed in front of extraordinary people.
Since the Han captured Yiwulu, the predecessor of Hami from the Xiongnu less than 2,000 years ago, this projectile land in the Western Regions, which is at the center of the Silk Road, has become the main point of competition between China and the powerful countries in the Western Regions. For two thousand years, it has been swinging on both sides of the east and west, experiencing the process of founding and several deaths and revival. A hundred years ago, it was once again destroyed by the neighboring Turpan Kingdom. Sudan, the king of Turpan, quickly ordered his brother Ma Heima to occupy Hami, which was renamed the Sudan Kingdom and has been occupying it ever since. At present, the so-called Hami Kingdom has actually lost most of its territory and is attached to the Dahua Dynasty. Under the protection of Dahua Hamiwei, it intends to recover the lost land.
However, I didn't think that Dahua's national strength was declining day by day. Although it was still not something that a small country like Turpan could compete with, there was no time to look west. At the same time, the current rulers of Turpan and Sudan have always wanted to completely destroy Hami, so Hami can only hope to get more help from Dahua, and has been restored several times in history with the help of the Chinese dynasty.
The current Hami Kingdom is ruled by Queen Wenta Shili, the mother of the little bell. Tens of thousands of people are only thousands, and may be annexed by the powerful Turpan state at any time.
This time, the little bell visited the Dahua Dynasty. Mingli met the emperor of Dahua as the crown prince and asked for the title in the future. In fact, he examined the current situation of Dahua to make a long-term plan. And this long-term plan cannot be reconciled or surrendered to Turpan, but can only be a choice between Dahua and the northern powers.
This is naturally ** incomparable secrets, but Xiaoling naturally has endless words to Zhuo Bofan. Since he asked, he said it all, including the swing that his mother has shown.
Zhuobufan is not much strange. The relationship between countries is originally a relationship of interests. This can also be seen by Li Weisheng's interest theory. What thousands of generations belong to the Dahua Dynasty? Those are all scenes. Just listen to the joy. If there is no milk, the child will cry. Why don't you let others find some rice porridge or something to save their lives? .
Now, the little bell also doesn't know what happened to Hami, and Zhuo Fan doesn't care much. On the contrary, I must keep the little bell's thoroughness this time. As for what is going on, I will wait until I can make a final determination. However, since it involves the key road of the Western Regions, Zhuo Fan is a little interested in the passage to the booming land in the West, and he also has more in his mind about this Hami trip.
"How powerful is this Turpan country, and what's the situation with Sudan now?" Zhuo Fan asked that as Hami people who yearnly want to restore the country, naturally they will not do anything.
Xiaoling recalled and said, "Sudan is not strong. The prince has occupied more than 10,000 troops in the seven cities of Hami. Although Hami has been occupied for a hundred years, everyone remembers the peace and prosperity of the past. Hami has been popular since ancient times. Now the new king of Sudan has forcibly promoted Islam and demolished Buddhist temples. To kill the monks, it makes the people feel sad and angry and dare not dare to say anything. Even my Hami is afraid that the soldiers of the whole country can make achievements. However, Turpan is close to Hami, and the army can reach it in a day, which is a strong enemy.
After a pause, the little bell continued to talk about Turpan, while Zhuo Fan listened quietly, but secretly considered it in his heart.
Soon, there was the sound of shift change outside the tent, and the little bell also showed tiredness. Zhuo Fan had something on his mind, and the two rarely spent a less absurd night. Hold the beauty in your arms and cover it with a thin quilt. In early summer, the evening breeze was cool and the climate was pleasant. Soon, a pair of beautiful women entered a sweet dream.
In addition to the tent, 30 personal guards are divided into three groups, surrounded by sanitation, and outside are 24 patrol teams that keep passing through the tents. Under the moonlight, the dragon reflects the faint cold light. Nearly 300 advanced firearms with a range of more than 500 steps form a trap. It is no exaggeration to say that even a bird can't fly in.
