    At dusk, a team braved the lingering power of the sun and walked on the official road.  No matter how the sweat turned into water vapor along the bamboo hat by the afterglow of the sun, no matter how the sweat soaked the clothes on his body and made the backpack on his back wet and slippery, the steps under his feet never stopped at all.  This mobilization force, which consists of hundreds of people, will report to the county seat from the town where their home is located, complete the assembly, and form a battalion with personnel drawn from standing military organizations such as the watch team and strong man team in the county.  Then they gather in the city and collect weapons (mainly various types of firearms and related ammunition, cold weapons such as knives and guns, which have already been stored at the township level.) Then, they gather at the designated port and board the ship.  Therefore, on national and provincial roads everywhere, you often see a scene like this: the heavy baggage turns the baggage truck into a huge hill. Fortunately, the baggage truck is four-wheeled and equipped with vulcanized rubber tires, otherwise  , traditional iron wheel or wooden wheel carts really may not be able to withstand such a large weight.  Roaring vehicles rolled over the ash-paved roads.  The baggage trains are often at the rear of the marching team, just in front of the rearguard team.  In front of the baggage vehicles is the artillery team following the Chinese army's operations. A door team artillery exudes a lovely metallic light in the sun, making people forget that it is a murder weapon and regard it as a murder weapon.  An object similar to porcelain or made of fine metal, such as a tripod.  The Chinese army looked ordinary. Apart from the flag of the chief officer and the flag of the headquarters, there seemed to be nothing special about it.  If anything, it is that among the Chinese army, there are quite a few people who look like scholars, or have the temperament of scholars.  They serve as staff officers and military supplies for various ministries.  Of course, there are also military judges who enforce military law.  Like military supplies, he is a role assigned to the ministry by superiors and is not under the command of generals at the same level. This is to ensure that law enforcement is not interfered with and military supplies are financially independent, so as not to become the private wallets of generals at all levels.  Behind the Chinese army, the momentum was completely different.  The Guards troops of each brigade and regiment marched in front and behind the central army, acting as guards.  The core combat effectiveness and general reserves of these units are composed of the most elite units from each unit.  In addition to serving as a guard for units at this level, the biggest combat task is to invest in the most critical direction at the most critical moment.  For example, using bayonets and muskets to open a breakthrough for the entire army under enemy fire.  Among the entire marching team, the only one that can move back and forth is the cavalry communication team of each department.  Because the number of horses in the South Cantonese Army was always insufficient, it could not form separate cavalry teams for each department.  In addition to delivering military orders and letters from the commander-in-chief, their other duty is to act as scouts during the march, and to serve as sentinels for the entire army in front of the vanguard.  Of course, the left and right wings and defenders must also have their brothers.  However, the march at this time is in one's own territory, so naturally there is no need to be so hostile.  In addition to these, another task of the Cavalry Signal Team is to fight with the enemy at critical moments with the sabers and muskets in hand, in conjunction with the silent comrades at the hip, just like the Guards.  Along the way, at the post stations set up every 40 or 50 miles on the national highway, passing troops would eat here, rest briefly, and feed their mules and horses with water and beans.  This kind of eating and feeding horses is called a big rest, and the kind of walking for twenty or thirty miles and stopping briefly at a well along the way to boil some water for the brothers to drink is called a small rest.  When marching, try not to enter the villages along the way.  Firstly, it will affect the marching speed. Secondly, it will disturb the people. Thirdly, the life of the villagers may affect the morale and mood of the soldiers. In more serious cases, it will cause the soldiers to be depressed and even deserters.     Do not believe?  A team of soldiers of the same age marched into a certain village. They watched young people of similar age carry farm tools and work in the fields to harvest crops. They were accompanied by their wives and children, looking like a happy and warm family.  Scenes of life.  Look at yourself again. There are only brothers Paoze around you. What they are holding in their hands are not farm tools, but firecrackers, artillery ramrods, and wool brushes. The huge contrast will definitely affect your mood.  The temptation of a hot bed with a wife and children is sometimes more heart-breaking than the excitement brought by military awards.  Marshal Liu Bocheng once said that one of the conditions for evaluating whether a unit has the potential to be a main force is to see whether it can continue to maintain a satisfactory organization and combat effectiveness after leaving the soldiers' hometown.  Many troops have strong combat capabilities when they are at home, but desertion and morale decline occur when they leave home. The farther away from home, the more serious this situation becomes.  Therefore, this kind of force cannot be called the main force.  It can only be said that he is armed with the nature of a domestic tiger and cannot leave his own one-third of an acre of land.  Just like trickles of water that merge into rivers and flow into the sea, small units are organized into armies and spread out across the sky.?The road traffic network is fast and maneuverable, heading north from Guangxi and Guangdong.  "Hundreds of thousands of troops have been formed overnight, and there is enough food, fodder, military equipment, and equipment to support a million troops for several years of campaign. Lord, why worry about succeeding in your great cause?" There are large groups of people walking continuously on the land. The forwards have arrived at Shaoguan, but the rearguard is still there.  Hue, where large groups of people pass through every day.  It seems like there will never be an end in sight.  On the water, sails and oars are connected like clouds, and countless ships are rushing to transport supplies such as grain, grass, equipment, gunpowder, and cannons, heading north.  Jiang Yihong and Huang Xigun in Guangzhou looked at this unprecedented scene and were extremely excited.  "Just one thing, these hundreds of thousands of troops have been recruited and sent away, leaving hundreds of thousands of labor forces free. We can't see anything in the short term. If the war continues and lasts for a long time, I'm afraid there will be some contradictions in various parts of our Southern Guangdong Army.  !" Jiang Yihong was more mature after all, and compared to Huang Xigun who was easily excited, he was thinking about the production difficulties that might arise from the labor shortage during the war, etc.  "Your Excellency is far-sighted, diligent and caring for the people. This is beyond the reach of students. You may wish to mention this matter in front of the Lord. It also lets the Lord know that we are not just mediocre people who live in mediocrity every day. In addition to trying our best, we  In addition to royal affairs, he also thinks a lot about his lord. " Huang Xigun quietly mentioned these words to his superiors when he saw Jiang Yihong off at the Pearl River Pier.  As the local chief executive of Guangdong and Guangxi, Jiang Yihong took a boat to Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture to meet Li Shouhan, Duke of Liang.  This time, Li Shouhan nominally convened a meeting of chief officials from various parts of the Ming Dynasty to participate in the Tang Dynasty Supervision Ceremony.  In fact, it was to unify the ideologies of various local governors and achieve unified command in fighting the Qing army.  In fact, in the eyes of Li Huamei and others, it doesn¡¯t matter whether this meeting can be held or not.  Today, 90% of the remaining half of the Ming Dynasty is under the control of the Southern Guangdong Army. Except for the Mu family of the Duke of Guizhou in Kunming Prefecture in Yunnan and the white pole soldiers of the Ma family in Shizhu, Sichuan, they have some climate and scale.  It can be said that without the existence of the Southern Guangdong Army, several southwestern provinces (Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, southern Jiangxi, and Pianyuan) would have been swept away by the Qing army long ago.  However, Li Shouhan told the generals of the Southern Guangdong Army that this meeting was not only to support the Tang King and use him as a call to action, but also to provide sufficient legitimacy for future actions.  Seeing what he said, everyone had no choice but to give up.  However, this meeting is indeed somewhat inconsistent with its name.  First of all, the Mu family, the Duke of Guizhou, who is said to have received the country's favor and stayed with the country, did not come. He only ordered someone to send a congratulatory gift and a seal, and passed the Red River to Ha Tinh, and then transferred to Shanghai.  The reason why the Mu family didn't come was simply because they were blocked by mountains and rivers and couldn't get there at the moment.  At the same time, they complained loudly, saying that Zhang Xianzhong's four evil sons and several generals, leading the remnants of the Great Western Army, were harassing Yunnan day and night.  The war in Yunnan continues, and it is true that there is no way to do anything, etc.  After learning that he had been conferred the title of Taibao and Prince Taibao by King Zhu Yujian of the Tang Dynasty, and the title of Zhongzhenhou, Qin Liangyu, the governor-general of the left and general of Zhendong, who commanded the Shizhu Ma family's white-poled troops, also sent his descendants to travel all night to meet His Royal Highness, the king of the Tang Dynasty.  Of course, by the way, I want to continue to apply for some arms support from Liang Guogong.  Especially the horsetail grenade, this kind of sharp weapon is simply tailor-made for the terrain of eastern Sichuan.  When the white-armed soldiers fought with the Qing army, every few horsetail grenades were thrown over and exploded in the ranks of the Qing army. Then, the white-armed soldiers' spear array composed of hundreds of mourning gun spearheads could kill thousands of soldiers.  The troops of the Qing army crowded down the hillside, killing them until they were scurrying away.  Therefore, this conference is basically a gathering of officials from various places under the jurisdiction of the Southern Guangdong Army.  The purpose is to clarify the legal status of the king of Tang Dynasty in supervising the country, and then determine the legitimacy of Li Shouhan.  In addition to the governors of Guangdong and Guangdong like Jiang Yihong, although He Tengjiao, the governor-general of Huguang in charge of Pianyuan, did not come in person, he also sent his confidants as representatives to Shanghai to attend the meeting, carrying handwritten letters and his wife, children, and children.  In addition to the two of them, there are officials from various places directly under the jurisdiction of the South Guangdong Army.  However, places like Shizhou, Fusang, Mugudushu, Lijiapo, etc. are separated by thousands of miles of sea, so it is impossible to come even if you want to.  Fortunately, the envoys of Fuso Governor Xu Huanshan, Ruo Shui Dao Zhang and Yin Lei are here, and they can also serve as representatives.  Of course, there were also some seemingly uncoordinated characters present.  For example, Mr. Van Basten, His Highness Matsudaira Nobutsuna, the Japanese shogunate, the representative of the Grand Vizier Koprulu of the Ottoman Empire, etc.  As for the representatives of the Kingdom of England, because they were like black-eyed chickens, they accused each other of being "traitors" and "tyrants". Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble at the venue, the person responsible for security duties  The officers and soldiers of the Guards Brigade politely placed them outside the venue.  Outside the venue, the two delegations from the Kingdom of England looked downcast as groups of representatives walked into the venue with their heads high and their chests held high. Their hearts felt as if they had knocked over the shelves of condiments in the kitchen. They couldn't tell what they were.  What a taste.  "Tianzhu people, Saxons, Ottomans, Dutch, French, Italians, Burmese, and Bangla people can all go in and show their respect to this powerful and wealthy ruler.  Friendship and loyalty, but we can only sit here basking in the sun and drinking tea, watching helplessly as they transport away wealth and sophisticated weapons ship by ship.  ¡± Not to mention that the two groups of them lamented their bad luck outside, the meeting inside was already in full swing. The initial process, to support the Tang Dynasty King Zhu Yujian as the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, was approved by the participating officials and generals. Moreover,  As the envoys of foreign vassals, many kingdoms such as Tianzhu, Tianfang, the Ottoman Empire, the Kingdom of France, and the Italian Peninsula all recognized that His Highness the Tang Dynasty was the only legitimate ruler on the East Asian continent. Soon, the seal of support for the Tang Dynasty to supervise the country was established.  It was written by a master here who was familiar with this writing format. After transcribing it clearly, he polished it and read it to the officials present. To be fair, except for bureaucrats like Jiang Yihong who received traditional education,  From the perspective of the Ming Dynasty civil service system, the officials and generals of the Southern Guangdong Army were not much different from a group of illiterate people. Can you tell what is good or bad? They immediately said yes and were ready to go to see Empress Dowager Zou tomorrow. If the old lady didn't.  Objection, then the Tang King Zhu Yujian is the new legal ruler of the Ming Dynasty. From here, the meeting entered the real content. People consciously did not add such things as ZTE and the Northern Expedition in front of the war.  In the eyes of the participants, war is war. As for what the situation will be like when the war comes to an end, who can tell us just to fight every battle in front of us?  That¡¯s it. Some people advocate that we should shrink our troops and abandon Shanghai County, an area with a dense network of harbors, branches, and rivers. The entire army will retreat to the Fujian and Guangdong rear areas with southern Jiangxi and Pianyuan as outposts. Wait until the Qing army moves south and cannot adapt to the south.  Due to the geographical environment and climatic conditions, the troops will be exhausted before heading north. Are you kidding me? The water network is dense and the harbor is crisscrossed. Isn¡¯t this a perfect home for our Southern Guangdong Army?  What we lack is cavalry, but our firearms are first-class. The rivers are densely covered, which makes it difficult for the Qing army's cavalry to deploy, but it is the best stage for our infantry to deploy.  , according to common sense, people like Fan Basten who were watching the ceremony or acting as envoys from foreign vassals should be invited out. However, the South Cantonese Army did not do this. First of all, this was just a retreat, and it was still far from serious military deployment.  Thousands of miles away! Secondly, the Southern Guangdong Army also has this confidence. These guys from thousands of miles away come here to get rich. They are close to our Southern Guangdong Army. We can sell them to get rich and get promoted.  All kinds of things. They leaked the situation here to the Qing army. What benefits can the Qing army give them? However, people like His Highness Count Van Basten, His Highness Matsudaira Nobutsuna, and those who came from the Ottoman Empire  The envoy of His Majesty the Sultan, Ibrahim, the confidant of His Excellency the Grand Vizier Koprulu, is a thousand-year-old fox who has been trained to become a master. He has already ordered his attendants and generals to prick up their ears and listen carefully.  , don¡¯t miss a single word, because often an inadvertent detail can bring them more benefits than the ocean.  Sure enough, some people are worried that after the war begins, in the Shandong and Denglai areas, which are isolated behind enemy lines, Madam Lu Mahong's troops will inevitably face the siege of a heavy Qing army group.  "With the war, the cotton and wheat from Denglai Qingsan Prefecture, as well as the cotton and wheat from the Yellow River estuary and other places, let alone the sea transportation southward, I am afraid that it is not enough to ensure the military supplies and people's food on the ground in Shandong." Then, the problem arises.  , As a food crop, wheat is certainly very important for the army's rations and staple foods, as well as mobility capabilities, etc., but it is far less strategic than cotton.  The problem of eating is not a big deal here in Nanyue Army, but the problem of clothing solved by cotton is different.  Not to mention, there are hundreds of large-scale textile factories in Guangdong, Fujian, and South Central, with hundreds of thousands of Guoxiama textile machines of various models and levels.  These machines devour countless amounts of cotton every day, spin out boat after boat of cotton cloth, and send it to nearby printing and dyeing factories to turn it into dyed cloth and beautiful floral cloth.  In exchange for countless amounts of money and supplies for the Southern Guangdong Army.  However, if the cotton-producing areas in Shandong are lost, or if the output is affected due to the war, then one of the pillar industries of the South Guangdong Army will be affected accordingly.  There will be a supply gap of at least 200,000 bales of cotton every year.  These words did not cause any big reaction among the officers and generals of South Guangdong, but after being quietly interpreted by several generals, Van Basten, Ibrahim, and several big princes of Tianzhu,  Su ??.Attention of the Mughal Emperor's envoy.  "Okay! Here's your chance to make a fortune!" This thought flashed through the minds of several thousand-year-old foxes.  At that moment, regardless of etiquette, Van Basten stood up from his seat. Before he could speak, a voice from the seat on the side stole his lines: "The most powerful friend of the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, the most worthy of the East."  Trusted partner, Your Highness Liang Guogong, on behalf of His Highness the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and His Highness Grand Vizier Koprulu, I would like to express to you and your troops, factory owners, and merchants how much cotton your country¡¯s textile factories lack. We, the Ottoman Empire  We will provide you with ten times the amount of cotton! No matter how much wheat is lacking, we will provide you with ten times the amount of wheat! We will not hesitate to turn Upper and Lower Egypt into your cotton plantations and wheat fields!  Our friendship!" "Damn bald donkey! He actually competed with a poor man for his teacher's wife!" Fan Basten gritted his teeth and cursed a word he learned in Nanzhong.
