Ming Zuo

Chapter 1580
The Manchus of this era are not the yellow belts walking birds in the Forty-Nine City.

They are definitely the best fighters in the world today.

It would be a great waste if such talents were not utilized.

At the same time, recruiting Manchus into the army has many benefits.

First of all, these former Eight Banners fighters know nothing but fighting.Now that they are at peace, they have lost the ability to survive.

It happened to be a sturdy killing machine, if left unattended, it would cause a major destabilizing factor.

It is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone to draw them back into the army, engage in occupations they are familiar with, and get enough pay to support themselves and their families.

Another one is that these rebellious fighters have entered the melting pot of the National Defense Forces, so that they can receive a good forging, and finally complete the change and eliminate the barriers.

Sure enough, when the first batch of soldiers entered the army, their lives and that of their families improved dramatically.

Seeing the life of the family members improve, it is natural to feel at ease.

Although the discipline in the National Defense Forces is strict, they are not discriminated against because they are treated equally, and they quickly like the new army.

Soldiers under the age of 30 were re-conscripted into the army. Although those over the age of 30 did not have this benefit, the government also made proper placements.

Various expeditions have issued invitations to these experienced veterans.

In terms of fighting skills in the mountains and forests, these Manchu warriors are unparalleled in the world.Having them join the expedition team is enough to bring the empire's development to another level.

Even for those who are unwilling to travel far, there are enough jobs in Liaodong for them.

Police, public security, militia training, urban construction, etc., unconsciously, the number of Manchurians has gradually failed to keep up with the needs of development.

As a result, Han people, Mongols, and Koreans also entered Liaodong in an endless stream and participated in various constructions.

The arrival of these people did not cause conflicts with the locals as in the past, just because the material is very rich today and does not affect people's quality of life.

"This place is called Cha Chong. It is connected to Harbin in the north, Shenyang in the south, and the grassland in the west. The location is very important. I plan to put the provincial capital here."

Pointing to the vast and flat grassland in front of him, Zhang Chun talked about his ambitions.

Shenyang has become the northern capital, and Liaoning Province needs a new provincial capital.

Whether it was Jinzhou, Liaoyang, or Lushun, Zhang Chun didn't like it.

Those places are either bad or unimportant, or they are too remote to control the whole province.

In the past winter, he traveled to many places, and finally reached an agreement with the people of the provincial government to choose a new location.

This place called Chaahchong is located in the Horqin Grassland, the surrounding terrain is very flat, the water and grass are lush, and it has the advantage of connecting the four directions.

It has to be said that Zhang Chun's eyes are very vicious.

"Building a city here can effectively support Tongliao, and it will be very beneficial for controlling the grassland in the future."

Bai Xiaoqi agreed with Zhang Chun's idea from a military point of view.

He is in charge of the state affairs of the northern capital, and all military and political affairs in the Northeast will need to be approved by him in the future.

"The speed of building the city does not need to be too fast, but the hoarding of materials cannot be delayed."

Wang Siyi gave Zhang Chun an order.

It's spring now, and the snow is starting to melt.It won't be long before the Wehrmacht can launch an attack on Khalkha Mongolia.

In addition to the intensive preparations on the Heilongjiang side, other directions have also entered the stage of combat preparation.

Since the location of the new provincial capital of Liaoning is so important, it will naturally become one of the new logistics bases.

Of course Zhang Chun didn't dare to delay the battle, and kept this matter in his heart.

"The name Cha Chong is not good enough, please give it to the queen."

Wang Siyi thought for a while and said, "From now on, Liaoning will enter a new era and start to embark on a new and vigorous path. Well, let's call it Ningyang."

Everyone was very satisfied with the naming of the new provincial capital and applauded loudly.

In fact, according to the transliteration, Cha Ah Chong should be called Changchun.

However, Changchun, the seat of the provincial capital of Jilin Province today, is located at the southern tip of the remote Sakhalin Island.

However, whether it is called Changchun or Ningyang, it will bring new life to this ancient land.

The Mongols who suddenly lost their temperature all fell to the ground obediently and accepted their new king.

Although this new king is not a Mongol, but a Manchu.

However, many of the original princes and nobles in Khalkha Mongolia were killed, and the rest have already surrendered and switched camps. What can the remaining dull herdsmen know?

The great lama told them that Hauge was a hero bestowed on them by the heavens, and they readily accepted it.

Facts have proved that even the most devout monks have a flexible bottom line of faith when life and death are at stake.

Knowing that Xu Yaqing is a pagan, the big lamas on the grassland still accepted her opinion and respected Hauge as the new leader of Khalkha Mongolia.

Not only that, they still obeyed Xu Yaqing's proposal and quickly sent envoys to the Junggar tribe, hoping to form an alliance with Batur Huntaiji.

Even if Batur Huntaiji is an extremely devout follower of the Red Sect, he is their life-and-death enemy of the Yellow Sect.

It can only be said that the pressure from the National Defense Forces is too great.

At the end of March, Wang Siyi left Shenyang, and the command center of the northern strategic cluster moved into Tongliao.

All subsequent military operations against Mobei Mongolia will be directed here.

The Second Cavalry Division, who had a good winter rest in Guihua City, also handed over the city to Shaanxi Province, and then headed north.

After they returned to Ulanqab, they carried a large amount of supplies all the way north.

They will go through more than 600 miles of Gobi and desert to a place called Sunit Eketuo.

After early reconnaissance and guide guidance, there is a rare oasis in the desert.

Only by occupying this place can we attack Saiyinda Mountain, establish a logistics base, and finally achieve the feat of crossing the desert and assaulting Mobei.

More than 1000 years ago, a famous general named Huo Qubing did this.

Now the second cavalry division is going to reproduce the glory of its predecessors.

The first front army has completed its assembly in Xilin Gol, and after waiting for the last batch of supplies to arrive, it will stick to the west side of the Great Khingan Mountains all the way north.

Set up a transfer station in the Ulan Gai Gobi, a place with a water source, and then turned around and went into the desert, heading straight to Hulan and suddenly lost temperature.

The First Cavalry Division walked in front of them, serving as both a forward and a guide, and also the main force to strangle the Mongolian cavalry.

Longyuan City is relatively quiet for the time being.

After all, Heilongjiang has not yet been fully civilized, and the troops and supplies in the rear cannot be brought in yet.

Wei Yuanfeng, the commander of the Second Front Army, did not need to go back.

The headquarters will come over to join him, and he will take command in Longyuan City.

When the second front army is assembled, it will march all the way west.

Their soldiers and horses are the easiest way, there are always river supplies along the way, and there are grasslands everywhere.
