I don¡¯t pay much attention to these noises from the rear; any old force that wants to be forced to withdraw from the stage of history will have a period of desperate struggle and counterattack. I hope they can accept the reality one after another without making any efforts and efforts. To conspire, or to be able to accept the new order and new things brought about by the new era without enough bloodshed and sacrifice, is just the wishful thinking of little Bourgeois, fruit fans, and silly people. Moreover, whether in Hebei or Pingludao, the open plain terrain certainly gave these remnants of the old forces who were stubbornly resisting an opportunity to move around and the geographical convenience, but it also gave those responsible for suppression, recovery, and peace. The rebel Huai army and horse infantry, as well as the corresponding wide accessibility transported from the rear, are almost equivalent to fighting on the inside in less than half of the home field. Therefore, as long as the guards and village chiefs in various places can stabilize their own territories and continue to implement the system of village immigration and management areas, coupled with the repair and widening of roads along the route by the engineering army, the grain stations and grain stations will After the hospitals, as well as the strongholds used as inns and signal towers, gradually advanced and spread, these were just birds out of the forest or fish swimming in the cauldron with the noose tightened and the net pulled. This point is somewhat similar to the concept of "North China Public Security War" advocated by the Japanese in later generations. Although the resistance forces emerging in these places seem to be quite powerful, not to mention the base areas behind enemy lines where the leaders of the Communist Party of China are united, even the various guerrillas and armed forces behind enemy lines are incomparable. They are all reluctantly scattered, lacking sufficient coordination and connection, and lacking clear propositions and long-term goals. They just want to achieve some vague purpose of obstructing change through seemingly endless sneak attacks and sabotage. And people's hearts are also fickle and uncertain. When they can get local supplements and help, and gradually reduce and dry up, the soil they rely on to be active will naturally disappear. After all, those who continue to starve and play rebellion will Not everyone can persevere in this job; by the time the die-hards who go to the dark side and ignore the needs of reality will be much dead, the remaining people will have the basic rationality to accept reality calmly and objectively. As a saying goes, force cannot solve problems, but it can eliminate them! The only role is probably to cause troublesome and disgusting people in the relatively hollow rear of Hebei, and to some extent hinder them. Of course, if they really delay it for a long time, some changes and troubles may still occur; for example, those leaders of the old forces who have surrendered and been put under supervision and house arrest may be instigated and promoted by people around them. What other thoughts and thoughts come from the next generation. Therefore, what I really need to pay attention to is the location of the Western Army, which is pressing down on the border in front of me. Because, due to the garrisons of the country and the dynasty that had previously blocked several roads, the corresponding understanding and emotional management work for the Western forces that had been away from Xiaoguan for a long time and participated in the chaotic wars in the Central Plains from time to time, except for some repeated operations Apart from vague rumors, there is almost nothing. However, after having direct contact with the battlefield, the situation and understanding of the Western Army gradually became clearer and clearer, as if the clouds were clearing. For example, although today's Xining court still respects Li Tang in name and appoints a so-called clan member named Li Huhuo whom I don't know where to find as emperor, the real power is in the hands of the powerful factions in the alliance of many vassal towns in the northwest. Among them, the Zhao family, who was born in the north of Hexi Province, is the most respected one. As the marshal in charge of recruiting soldiers and horses from all over the world, he has an overview of most of the Western Army and all internal and external affairs. Therefore, his subordinates were divided into several Daxing Dayu groups and more than a dozen factions according to their actual strength and closeness. Among them, the Hexi Fanzhen Group, which is closely related to the Zhao family, is the most powerful, followed by the neighboring Longyou Group. Group, and the Qingtang Protectorate that stood on the plateau and embraced the West Sea; in addition, attracted by interests and ideas, some came from the inner western region of the former Anxi Protectorate and the military towns in the southern grasslands of Beiting Protectorate, and The vassal vassals within the territory. These also constitute the basic base of the first and second echelons of the Xining regime's military forces. They are also the backbone of the military with the best equipment and the strongest strength. Among them, the veteran military orders and prestigious elite numbers that have been fighting for many years are at least There are more than a dozen but they belong to different jurisdictions. Then, there are several traditional inland strong towns and avenues such as Shuofang, Beisai, Yunzhong, Guannei, etc. that have long been adjacent to the Northern Dynasty and have inextricable relationships; just because most of them are involved in the Northern Dynasty, Too deep and too involved, it became the key target of division and collapse during the Northern Expedition of the Kingdom. Many soldiers and generals were lost due to various internal strife or in the south to Sichuan and to the west to aid Luodu, so that such a long-term evolution has become The strength was severely damaged, and the territory in the rear was greatly empty; in the end, forced by the situation of famine and civil strife, they had to give up their original Western territories.The dominance of the military vassal town alliance was subordinate to the New Western Army Alliance initiated by the Zhao family who later took advantage of the situation; now it belongs to the third echelon and peripheral vassals with relatively loose cohesion and large fluctuations in strength. Finally, the Xining court also had an uncertain number of affiliated armed forces, mainly because Su Yuanjing led his troops to raid and destroy the major governor's offices outside the Great Wall, and they fled across the vast sea to the north and west to the outside of the Great Wall in the direction of Beiting. The remaining forces of each vassal; because they were displaced and dependent on others, they could only rely on the local vassal towns to survive; therefore, after the new army's large-scale eastward march, these unfounded free forces and armed forces were specially organized into four military orders by the Xining regime. . Then, the remnants of the Northern Dynasty led by Zhang Dekun and entrenched in Hedong were recently added; therefore, although the quality of the army seems to be quite uneven, the final size is likely to reach 300,000 to 400,000; however, there may be so many Having military strength is one thing, but how useful it can be is another. Except for Zhang Dekun's tribe who lived on Hedong Road and only listened to the propaganda in name, whether it was the dilapidated Guannai Road that was almost white, or the Yunzhong and Beiyuan Roads that were relatively geographically barren and had many desert grasslands and were not productive, Or a desolate Shuofang, it is impossible to support and maintain so many troops for a long time, let alone provide nearby supplies for them to continue fighting. Therefore, using the old Northern Dynasties army as a reference template for minimum maintenance, it would be great if most of the Western army gathered in the pass now could number one hundred thousand. If there were more, I would probably eat up all the land and let everyone eat the dirt; In addition, Zhang Dekun's troops from Hedong brought their own dry food and came south to pick up bargains. If we fully consider the enemies we have to face along the rivers in Hedong and Henan, it would be great to be able to expand to a scale of 40,000 to 50,000. Therefore, in a sense, Dapeng, who settled in Bai Ya City earlier than expected, successfully defended the area under the violent attack of the superior enemy, and insisted on the arrival of backup, can be said to be the first to take the credit. Otherwise, it would really not be that easy to deal with if these large numbers of Western troops could break through the barriers of the mountains in Hanoi and reach the plains of Hebei. Therefore, now we only need to hold on to a few key points and use fewer points to respond to the enemy. We can fully use our firearms troops and heavy equipment in a state of leisure and follow-up preparations, whether it is building field fortifications or fortifying the enemy. The biggest specialty and advantage of "keeping first" is. Since we have not been able to gain the upper hand in frontal battlefields, and we have failed to achieve success by dividing our forces or making sneak attacks, we will naturally return to the diplomatic field where everyone has their own thoughts and positions, and use another level as the stage. It's a new round of wrestling and competition. Therefore, on the sixth day of the end of the attack and defense of Baiya City and the third day of the Battle of Dayang Bridge, a small mission of more than ten people with high standards came from the upper reaches of the river under the banner granted by the so-called Emperor of Xining. Fenglingdu went down by boat and finally arrived. It was just the negotiation documents that the other party presented in advance, but it made me, who was doing some shameful and indescribable things with the army follower Li Ji, couldn't help but laugh out loud on the spot. The other party actually put forward a certain suggestion in the pre-written official document, hoping that I could nominally submit to the Xining court and confer on me the title of King of Peking, the largest vassal king in the North after the Zhao family in charge of military affairs and state affairs. ? Then I avoided war and shared the great rivers and mountains of the north; thus, I sat in the heart of the Central Plains east of the (Taihang) Mountains, while the Western Tang Dynasty court widely occupied the outside of the Great Wall and lived in peace for a long time. The two parties even reached a tacit understanding of cooperation and agreed to send troops southward to liberate the people in the southeast and southwest from the water and fire. Okay, this plan seems to be quite tempting. In particular, the two sides stopped their troops and joined hands to march south. The Western Army took the southern roads and entered Shu and headed towards Jinghu. The Huai Army advanced into Jiangdong and Jiangxi and took all the southeastern roads. The conditions were simply the same as those of the Chinese Dynasty. But it was behind the scenes. What it contains is self-evidently much more complicated; For example, if the basic principles and potential of people's hearts and minds that Huai Town has always created are lost, it is difficult to The verbal content and the implicit righteousness are added; after all, the propaganda image suddenly changed from a propaganda image of resisting injustice and persecution and having to stand on one's own, to a serious style change that does not hesitate to collude with foreign enemies for personal gain. Another example is the ideological confusion and vacillation among local soldiers and civilians. After all, from the army to local governments, there are many people who have some kind of origin and relationship with the south; but it is not that easy to bridge or fool around. "These hidden problems and worries during the period can be easily seen by even Li Ji, who acts as a temporary auxiliary intelligence officer next to me and just bites when he has nothing to do. But for me, everything I have now is more for the use of countless soldiers.The result is a result of fighting with blood and sweat, rather than a result concocted by playing tricks and tactics on certain forces. Besides, with the strength I have now and the momentum I have accumulated, what I lack is just time to recover and stabilize. There is no need to use any pretense to continue to do things that require a low profile or to do things in vain. The strategy of focusing on development. Could it be that this is some kind of information asymmetry and one of the three major illusions in life due to overconfidence? In the end, I sent them all back without even seeing them, saying that there was "nothing to talk about".
