Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 649
The envoys of the Kyushu Army represented by Dayuer and Sun Chuanting stayed in the Mongolian tribe in Moxi in Qinghai Lake for a winter, discussing some details of the handover after the beginning of spring.During the period, officials from the Chief Secretary of the Western Regions traveled to Qinghai Lake to count the population of various nomadic tribes and investigate the disasters caused by heavy snow.Because the Kyushu Army has the support of the more powerful Mongolian tribes in Monan and Mobei, Moxi Mongolia, which is also a Mongolian tribe, is still very optimistic about the future, because they can see their strength from the current Monan and Mobei Mongolian tribes. future.

However, when everything was going on in an orderly manner, until the ice and snow melted and the Chief Secretary of the Western Regions officially sent officials to establish a new order in Qinghai Lake, some conservative generals did not quite understand the decision of their leader because of the drastic changes.

"Our Zhungeer tribe is a golden family. After Genghis Khan's brother Hasar, he defeated many surrounding tribes. Even the Kazakh Khanate is not our opponent. Why should we mainly rely on the Kyushu Army? Isn't it an insult to us? Is it the reputation of the prairie warriors? And they have too many rules, and the brothers will have to tuck their tails in the future." A Zhungeer general was riding on his horse, ready to welcome the Kyushu Army's army and accept the Kyushu Army's troops. adaptation.

More than a thousand Zhungeer cavalry led by him will be incorporated into the Moxi Cavalry Regiment.In his own tribe, a general like him has a lot of power. As long as he is loyal to Batur, other things are nothing.However, after being merged into the Moxi Cavalry Corps, it will be under the management of the Kyushu Army Headquarters, and of course it will not have that much power.

"Chitai, our Great Yuan has long since perished, not to mention the Great Yuan, where is the Great Ming that wiped out the Great Yuan at that time? The general trend of the world is rolling forward, how can you two little people be able to resist it? The leader follows the time, this is for us The Moxi tribe is already an excellent destination. If there is bloodshed in a real war, we generals may not be able to survive, let alone the Kyushu Army now gives us a half-official position, although the military rank system they established I haven't figured out how to get promoted yet, but I heard that they gave us the school-level official rank, and the official rank second only to the general rank. In the entire Kyushu Army, only the top generals have the rank of general , Those people are big figures who can be on an equal footing with our leaders, are you still not satisfied?" said another Zhungeer general.

"It doesn't matter what rank he is, I just know that I have to abide by a lot of rules, and many things are not going my way now." The general known as Chi Tai still expressed dissatisfaction.

While they were talking, a Kyushu army led a convoy to Dunhuang and entered Qinghai Lake.Large and small carriages and ox carts lined up in a long queue, with no end in sight, and the heavy carriages left deep ruts on the ground.

This troop is the Monan Cavalry Corps temporarily stationed in Jiayuguan, and the leader of the troop is Wu Keshan, the commander of the troop.The reason why the Seventh Corps was not stationed in Yarkand this time was because the army considered that the Daomonan Cavalry Corps had a closer blood relationship with Moxi Mongolia.He rode his mount and saw the Zhungeer cavalry blocking the road ahead to meet them.

"The opposite side should be the person who came to recruit our Monan Cavalry Corps. Waiting for Chitai, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, otherwise if you destroy the peace that our leader has finally won, you and I will not be able to take this responsibility. .” Another Zhungeer general was a little worried about his colleague Chitai.

"Understood, I don't know what they are doing with so many horses and carts. Could it be to show off the financial power of their Kyushu Army?" Chi Tai still muttered dissatisfied.

But as they stepped forward to greet Wu Keshan, they knew what the huge convoy brought by the Kyushu Army was doing.

"This is an additional compensation from our military department to your Moxi tribe. The military leader heard that the various Moxi tribes were hit by cold waves in winter, and many livestock were frozen to death. The life of the people is a bit difficult, so he specially transferred a team from the Central Plains. Although it is a drop in the bucket for the batch of supplies, it is still a little bit of our kindness." Wu Keshan followed Chitai and the others and continued to move towards Qinghai Lake.

Chi Tai silently turned his head and glanced at the endless convoy, surprised in his heart, such a huge convoy is just "a drop in the bucket" in Wu Keshan's mouth?
"In addition to supplies to assist ordinary people, we also brought a batch of firearms for the Moxi cavalry regiment that will be established soon. We will try the power of firearms when we arrive at your tribe's garrison." Wu Keshan said again.

"A firearm for us?" Chitai asked.

"Well, the first batch has [-] advanced guns and five bronze smoothbore guns, which are enough for the soldiers to train. As for the future firearms, it depends on your performance." Wu Keshan said.

Gulu... Chi Tai swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but said, "Can we take a look at the muskets and cannons now?"

Wu Keshan smiled slightly, but no general would be able to refuse the powerful muskets and artillery: "Then let's have a look first."

Under the impatience of General Zhungeer, the huge convoy stopped temporarily, and the gunners of the Kyushu Army showed them the power of the bronze artillery on the spot.

Boom, boom!The five large Napoleon bronze smoothbore guns provided to the Moxi Cavalry Corps roared in unison, and the roaring sound of the guns made Chi Tai and other Zhungeer generals slightly startled.Then the soldiers of the Kyushu Army lined up to show them musket shooting.The Zhungeer tribe only had backward matchlock guns. When they saw the Dreiser rifle loaded from behind, they couldn't help being dumbfounded. It turns out that there are such muskets, and they are more powerful and have a longer range!
Chitai looked at these guns and artillery with fanaticism.

"General Wu, I propose that this batch of artillery be equipped with my cavalry battalion first." Another Zhungeer cavalry general said first.

"No, this artillery will be equipped with our cavalry battalion first!" Chi Tai stood up and objected.

"Chitai, you just didn't..."

"What happened to me just now? I have long regarded myself as a member of the Kyushu Army, so of course I should be allowed to use these firearms first." Chi Tai said confidently.

After the Kyushu Army took control of Qinghai Lake, Zangba Khan on the southwest plateau saw the Kyushu Army sweeping the entire Western Regions, and sent people to contact the Kyushu Army. way to solve the problem.So far, the Chief Secretary of the Western Regions established by the Kyushu Army has almost recovered all the areas controlled by the Western Regions Protectorate in the Han Dynasty.If the Kyushu Army in the west wants to continue to expand, it will march to Central Asia...
