    In recent times, unlike the troubles in Tsarist Russia, the country has been peaceful. The main body of one hundred ironclad ships in Guangzhou Shipyard has been completed. The fertilizer plant and large converter steel plant at the Academy of Sciences have also been put into construction. Most of the grain silos in various places have been stored.  The food is full, and the Russian tax collection that will start next spring has also taken shape. Everything seems to be going so smoothly, but Yang Meng knows that this is just an appearance, and the real problem is precisely at home.  What is the basis for the existence of the Qing Dynasty?  Landlord!  The bumper grain harvest across the country will undoubtedly touch the heartstrings of many people. The harvest is three times that of previous years. The land has become a golden rice bowl, and the Yang family's farm and farm have just touched this sensitive nerve. I am afraid it will be very difficult to repeat it.  Coming soon.  Taking advantage of the surface stability in the country, Yang Meng must solve the problem as soon as possible. After the spring, there may or may not be problems in the country, but Yang Meng does not have much time. The shadow of the country has been dismembered.  There are some hidden things that cannot be detected in the Yang family farm and Wuzhuang.  Although Yang Meng was a little reluctant to have no information about Shadow in his hand, Yang Meng still had no regrets about dismembering Shadow. Domestic rule must not rely on intelligence agencies, otherwise the hidden dangers would be much greater than the current undercurrent.  "The New Year has passed, and spring is just around the corner. It's time to let the Mongolian army take action. At this time, the Cossacks may still be a little slack. It's crucial to catch them off guard and collect information about the Cossacks as soon as possible.  ! Chief, please urge the Mongolian Army to take action as soon as possible. Shi Xianggong, you have also been studying the tactics against the Cossacks recently!" This is after breaking five.  YangMeng appeared in the signing room for the first time.  There is Qin Ziqi's shadow in hand.  YangMeng's grasp of the domestic situation was very clear. Although YangMeng repeatedly emphasized the importance of focusing on the domestic situation, at this time, everyone's focus was still on Tsarist Russia, and the domestic focus was only on matters related to the war.  There are too many things to do, and no matter how many people there are, they are never enough. This is also the helplessness in war, according to the news from the shadow side.  Domestic undercurrents have emerged, and it becomes urgent to stabilize the war in Tsarist Russia. Once there are changes in the country, the focus of the entire center will shift, and Yang Meng does not want to give Mongolia any opportunities to take advantage of it.  "Third Master, since a year ago, there have been some comments below that are contrary to ours. Without any shadow, we are a little alone here!" Xu Ziwei is an old man in officialdom.  In addition, he has followed Yang Meng for a long time and is used to using conspiracy and tricks.  Xu Ziwei could smell a different smell from the slightest sound below. Domestic and foreign, domestic was naturally more important. Combining everything he knew here, Xu Ziwei also gave Yang Meng a warning.  "Well! Ignore him for now, it's not time to kill yet, let's stretch it out before talking!" When Yang Meng spoke, his face was a little gloomy. It is difficult to reach a consensus with those with vested interests. Sometimes, authority can only be achieved with blood.  Verification, temporary indulgence means cruelty in the future.  "Got it!" After hearing this, Xu Ziwei's eyebrows jumped, and he was about to start killing again.  "Third brother, on the Russian side, should we ask the Northwest Army to assist the Mongolian soldiers?" Seeing that Yang Meng and Xu Ziwei had finished talking about important matters, Shi Dakai saw the right opportunity and interjected.  "Well Shi Xianggong, what do you say? But you are not optimistic about the Mongolian offensive?" Xu Ziwei thought the same thing as himself about the undercurrent. Unexpectedly, Shi Dakai did not expect the cavalry battle in Ishim Grassland.  It's almost the same. He doesn't like the Mongolian cavalry either.  "Let's talk about the cavalry tactics first. After the battle of Beijing and Tianjin, the cavalry came out in full force and was obviously no match for the spear formation. Tsarist Russia was also a powerful country in Europe. Only when the cavalry is combined with the infantry can the combat power be maximized. This is the truth  , Tsarist Russia must not know that in the battle between Mongolia and Cossacks, it is difficult to achieve success without the support of infantry. As far as cavalry is concerned, Mongolia and Cossacks have the same skills, and there is not much difference in their killing skills. We provide Mongolian soldiers.  The sabers are also based on the Cossack style. The two armies are also very similar in terms of weapons and craftsmanship. The sabers have the same purpose. The rest depends on the quality of the horses. The Mongolian soldiers mainly use Mongolian horses. This horse.  Short and sturdy, easy to maintain, with excellent endurance, good at marching and pursuit, and capable of frontal charge, Senggelinqin's Mongolian cavalry has already tried it in Zhangjiawan and Bali Bridge, but it didn't work! Cossack war horses originated from Central Asia, and Central Asia is  The birthplace of the Horse of Sweat and Blood. The Horse of Sweat and Blood lacks endurance and has great momentum. In a cavalry battle, Mongolia may not have the upper hand!  , dismounting to fight and mount to chase the enemy, is most suitable for Mongolia. If it is a head-to-head encounter, Mongolia does not have the advantage. It is best to let the Northwest Army coordinate.?Mongolian cavalry versus Cossack cavalry, otherwise we will win less and lose more!  ¡± Being able to think carefully and be good at using tricks is the characteristic of Shi Dakai¡¯s military use. Marching thousands of miles in half a month is like an arrow leaving the string. It is impossible to think clearly about the distribution of the enemy¡¯s and our own military strength. After Shi Dakai¡¯s analysis, everyone here  People are not very optimistic about the Mongolian soldiers' first battle. "That's right, but no matter how much we say, it's not as good as letting the Mongolian soldiers suffer a few losses on the battlefield. I want to take action first, just to remind you.  Mongolian kings, the success in the early stage is nothing to say!  As for letting the Northwest Army cooperate, the Mongol kings have about a million people who can participate in the war. I don¡¯t have military rations to support idle people, so I just need to provide them with sufficient ordnance. It¡¯s just that there are not enough horses there. This is their foundation.  In the battle, let the infantry fight on their own!  There will be a cavalry battle after the spring in Ishim Grassland. The Mongolian soldiers used the Eight Banners' tactics, and the Cossacks will definitely suffer. Please inform Zuo Jigao. I want the horses captured in the early stage, but the Mongolian side still needs infantry cavalry.  Combined, too many war horses are useless to them!  The Four Kings of Mongolia also ordered them to gather the good horses from Tsarist Russia. There will be a lot of demand for horses in the country. Now the Mongolian grassland has been vacated, allowing the southwest to speed up immigration. The next section  At that time, the Mongolian grasslands mainly cultivated war horses and draft horses.  Yan Qing, you should also pay attention to the breeding of horses. Horses in Central Asia and the Northeast have been bred in large numbers in recent years. Farm cattle are mainly from the Central Plains, and war horses and draft horses are mainly from the northwest and grasslands. Lower the grassland.  With the number of cattle and sheep, whether we are fighting or working, we have a great demand for horses!  ¡± As for Mongolia, Yang Meng wants to weaken their strength and let the Northwest Army join forces with the Mongolian soldiers. It is not conducive to weakening their strength. Otherwise, the Northwest Army will become the cannon fodder of the Mongolian soldiers. Let Mongolia be self-sufficient in the war, which is a waste.  The best way to improve their strength is that Shi Dakai mentioned horses, and Yang Meng also focused on the cultivation of horses. With the construction of roads and bridges, the mountains in the southwest also have a simple transportation network. For a long time,  The most important driving force in the country is horses, not barges and trains. After all, many places in the country are not connected to canals and railways. Domestic development requires a large number of horses as a backing. It was difficult for Yang Meng to obtain European horses in large quantities before.  This time, the march into Central Asia and the war in Tsarist Russia have solved this problem to a certain extent. ¡°I know!  Third Master, do you want to restrict Yunnan horses, Mongolian horses and camels?  ¡± Yunnan has always spared no effort in cultivating cattle, horses and camels. Whether it is road construction or mining, Yunnan horses are of great use. Nowadays, a lot of Mongolian horses are also used in the northwest. The Central Asian Bactrian camels introduced in the early stage,  In the process of breeding, Mr. Yang's thinking is too out of the ordinary. Sometimes Cen Yuying can only break the casserole and ask the question. "Don't give up. As long as the horses are usable, we will breed them. As for the survival of the fittest, we will wait until the number is enough."  Besides, although the domestic food seems to be abundant now, who knows whether there will be a nationwide famine in the next few years?  When you breed horses in the Mongolian grasslands, the horses will be able to perform in two years. You must seize this point.  Moreover, the tens of thousands of artillery pieces in the Northwest Army also require a lot of horses to pull them. Without enough horses, the Northwest Army can only use manpower to pull the artillery. Not only is the speed slow, but it also requires a lot of people, and it also squeezes a lot of munitions and uses animal power.  Replacing manpower is the benchmark, and you can take care of other things!  Mr. Shi, do you have any intention of going to Tsarist Russia?  There are some things that our remote control command here lacks a certain degree of strength. This cavalry battle in Ishim Grassland cannot be defeated. Once defeated, it will give Mongolia a chance to recharge its batteries. We here will also  The opportunity to weaken Mongolia was lost.  We and the Mongolian kings are not afraid of losing in the first battle. What we are most afraid of is losing in consecutive battles. What do you think?  " There is a turmoil in the country, and the situation abroad is unpredictable. Now Yang Meng is in a dilemma. He is unwilling to give up the conquest of Russia, because the conquest of Russia has caused an irreversible situation in the country, and Yang Meng does not want to see it.  For the current plan, we can only forcefully intervene in Mongolia's command. If the Mongolian kings do not follow Shi Dakai's plan, they can only use force to force the northwest army to join the war. "Dakai also has this intention.  I just didn't dare to say it because I was afraid that my third brother would be wrong!  The war situation is ever-changing, and it is difficult for a general to give effective command without being on the battlefield in person. During this period, Dakai studied Western tactics intensively, and he still had a better chance of winning against Tsarist Russia.  " After hearing what Yang Meng said, Shi Dakai was also very happy. After all, he is not a person like Xu Ziwei or Cen Yuying. Riding a horse is what he wants. Staying in the signing room as a senior consultant is also a kind of torture for Shi Dakai. "I think so.  Just say whatever you want?  If you don't tell me, how will the third brother know your thoughts?    Go!  In one month, try to reach the front line, otherwise you will miss the first battle in Mongolia!  Send a thousand elite troops from the cavalry army in the suburbs of Beijing!  One person and five horses work day and night, and the exhausted horses can be thrown directly to the road construction crews to improve their food!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
