Wild North America 1846

March 1859

The news of the Southern Army's victory in the First Battle of Kansas reached the Chang'an court, and everyone was rejoicing and singing praises to the emperor.

Now I can happily transport supplies to the south on a large scale and make a lot of war money. Oh, and the price will continue to rise a lot, so that the wishes of the black-hearted capitalists can be fulfilled.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the in-demand goods such as weapons and ammunition have increased seven to eight times (compared to pre-war prices). Canned goods and beef jerky, which are in high demand, should have increased three to four times. Even though clothing is said to be a popular commodity, it still needs to increase.

Two or three times is enough, otherwise the shortage of materials will not be reflected.

Both the south and the north are trying their best to expand their armies, and the Tang Kingdom itself is also expanding its army. How can there be so much material supply?

It was better for the Tang Kingdom to have its own strategic reserves. All the equipment that the entire army had replaced was sold to the south, including weapons, military uniforms, belts, water bottles, etc. Only the horse gear and saddle were not sold. This was because the Tang Dynasty

The Tang Kingdom expanded its cavalry on a large scale, but it didn't even have enough cavalry.

Chang'an, Imperial Garden of Daming Palace

"Hahahaha... This business is going well. We captured the Desert Railway and Hugo Fortress without firing a shot. The people in your staff headquarters finally did something serious. Not bad, really good!"

Richard was in a happy mood and kept praising him. Seeing that the heads of people in the North and the South of the United States were beaten into pieces, he slept well, felt better, and ate better!

His Majesty was in a happy mood, and the entire palace was filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere. The praised Army Chief of Staff, General Dai Changfu (promoted), smiled and narrowed his eyes to slits. Lieutenant General Kahn, the deputy chief of staff who followed him,

Lieutenant General Mike Rabiot was all proud and said with a smile;

"Thanks to His Majesty's great fortune, our military department just got a huge advantage. Anyway, the Southerners still haven't paid all they owe us."

"Hehehehe... I would like to wish your majesty the joy of opening up new territories in advance. Our Tang Dynasty Empire will be prosperous!"

"Congratulations to all ministers."

Several military bosses congratulated each other continuously, and inadvertently revealed the term "Great Tang Empire" in their words. Seeing that His Majesty was smiling and didn't care, several old guys looked at each other secretly, and they knew it in their hearts.

When the time is right, it’s time to change the name.

This is also related to the vital interests of the major families. If the current king can take the next step to establish the Tang Dynasty and recreate the glory of the empire thousands of years ago in North America, it will be a grand event related to the entire Chinese nation, enough to be recorded in history forever.

.

The emperor eats meat, and the ministers who follow the emperor can also drink some soup. The top noble titles that were previously unimaginable seem to be beckoning to everyone now!

It is not unusual to have a hereditary marquis. If he has made great contributions to the stability of the country, is the entire dukedom too excessive?

Even the Mexicans can have an emperor. The small country of Fuso has a small territory and has an emperor. I heard that North Korea also wants to have an emperor. What talents does the French Emperor Napoleon III have?

When I think of this, the hearts of several old guys are filled with heat...

In the imperial garden

Several trusted ministers accompanied His Majesty to visit the Royal Garden. It was spring time and flowers were in full bloom under the bright sunshine of San Francisco. The air was filled with the intoxicating fragrance of flowers.

From Wanshou Mountain not far away, the roar of lions and tigers can be faintly heard. This is the season of rejuvenation for the earth, and it is also the time when animals are in estrus. The world is filled with infinite vitality.

Richard's tall figure walked in front with his hands behind his back, chatting with several veterans as he walked, talking about whatever came to his mind;

"Is Peel City ready?"

"Your Majesty, the military department dare not slack off on all matters related to war preparations. All relevant river crossing boats have been arranged and properly stored in the river bend. The surrounding area has always been classified as a military restricted area and trespassing is strictly prohibited."

"Well, everything is prepared in advance. Even if you don't need these things, it's always good to have an extra layer of preparation."

"Your Majesty's Holy Might, from the height of the temple, can strategize thousands of miles away. He understands all the details in his mind, which is far beyond the reach of my ministers."

"My dear, I'm sorry. By the way, don't release too many new recruits from the Salt Lake City Military Base. The Army will temporarily expand the establishment to 6 divisions, with 4 in the Central Military Region and one in the North and South Military Regions."

"I will obey the holy order and start handling it immediately after I return."

"How is the situation with the new recruits now?"

"Your Majesty, since the beginning of 1859, the average number of mainland recruits accepted per month has been about two Class A divisions, which has fully reached the goal planned by the General Staff Headquarters. In addition, the military has made reasonable adjustments to compress the training period, save costs, and provide various

Under this measure, the cost of a single soldier has been reduced by 43 yuan compared with the previous period, which has been highly recognized by the Ministry of Finance and other relevant ministries and commissions."

"If you grow rich and love your minister, all ministers in the cabinet are dedicated to serving the public good. The finance minister also has difficulties. The military department has military considerations. If there are some political disputes, the overall situation is the most important, and harmony is the most precious. This is the best way.

"

"I understand that I must abide by the holy precepts and examine myself three times every day."

"Well, what do you think of Fan Pengfei?"

"Keep yourself clean, act decisively, and have the air of a general. You can be entrusted with important responsibilities."

"Where are you among the generals?"

"This man is loyal and reliable, has an excellent sense of the overall situation, and acts in a measured manner. He is an outstanding young and middle-aged general. He can be ranked among the top generals, ranking among the top five."

"Isn't this a low rating?"

"Your Majesty knows clearly that no one can say anything against his will in front of Your Majesty, not even this minister."

"How long has he been at General Staff Headquarters?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, this person was transferred from the post of Xueshan Division Commander of the Southern Military Region to the Military Training Department at the end of August last year. It has been more than seven months since."

"Then let's practice for a few more months and consider transferring him to the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northern Military Region. General Liu Wu (Liu Wu) is not capable enough to take charge of the Northern Military Region. He will exchange positions with General Chen Chuan. Your military department just needs to have an idea.

Already."

"Wei Chen understands."

Admiral Dai Changfu bowed to accept the order, and Lord Kahn and Lord Michael Rabiot who followed also heard it. They bowed and saluted silently and did not dare to interrupt.

Top military positions such as Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Guards and Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Military Region have always been decided by His Majesty, leaving no room for outsiders to comment.

Even if you don’t understand it in your heart, you can only go back and figure it out for yourself.

In this way

Lieutenant General Chen Chuan is about to take charge of the important Northern Military Region, and with the addition of Lieutenant General Duan Debiao, the former deputy commander-in-chief, Major General Fan Pengfei, the new deputy commander-in-chief, and Major General Lei Jueshen, chief of staff of the military region, the prototype of the commander-in-chief Tiantuan, the main force in the war against the United States, has emerged.

some of

Lieutenant General Chen Chuan is the commander-in-chief of the Royal Guards, and his loyalty is unquestionable. He is also the veteran commander of several others, so he has no difficulty in commanding them.

Lieutenant General Duan Debiao, Major General Fan Pengfei, and General Lei Jueshen are all senior generals of the expeditionary force who have participated in the fierce battle in Crimea in Europe. They have rich experience in fighting hard battles, have strong willpower, and have outstanding command capabilities. They are all generals who can stand alone.

Talent.

Such a composition of Northern Corps Commanders and Heavenly Regiments is naturally the elite of the Kingdom's army.

If 6 more Class-A field divisions are planned, the Kingdom will expand to 18 Class-A field divisions, including 8 in the Central Military Region, 7 in the Northern Military Region, and 2 in the Southern Military Region (stationed in Jinling and Chihuahua).

1 military district (stationed in Panama).

The total number of soldiers of a Class A division in the Tang Dynasty is 12,000, and the 18 field Class A divisions are 216,000, including 4 cavalry divisions.

The 3 divisions under the Royal Guards were expanded into 6 divisions, with a total of 72,000 soldiers, including 4 cavalry divisions (each cavalry division includes a cuirassier regiment).

Coupled with the B-level divisions in its hands, the Tang Kingdom came out in force and could mobilize nearly 300,000 troops at a time. This was the largest force in history. Thinking about it makes people excited.

These well-trained elite forces are not comparable to the Yankee militiamen. Leading such an elite army, Richard is confident that he can defeat and destroy the millions of Yankee troops in the field.

Stroll among flowers

Richard was in a very happy mood at the moment. What a great era this was, creating an extremely relaxed environment for heroes who wanted to expand.

None of the world's great powers was idle. After the Russian strategy of westward expansion failed, they turned around and conspired with Britain, France and other countries in the Second Opium War to bully the cowardly Manchu Qing government and blackmail them again. 151

With a vast land of 10,000 square kilometers, the harvest made him ecstatic.

Before and after the Crimean War

Britain has launched more than 10 wars of external expansion around the world, including the Zulu War in South Africa, the 2nd Anglo-Burmese War, the 2nd Opium War, the 2nd Anglo-Afghan War, and has continuously launched invasions of princely kingdoms in the Indian subcontinent.

war of conquest, and finally completed the great cause of colonizing the Indian subcontinent after conquering the Punjab Kingdom in 1849.

now this time

France and the Kingdom of Sardinia came together because of their common interests. The French Emperor Napoleon III tried to expel the Austro-Hungarian Empire's dominant position in the Italian peninsula and realize his territorial expansion ambitions through an alliance with the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Adhering to the dream of unifying the Italian peninsula, the Kingdom of Sardinia has organized two consecutive anti-Austrian wars since 1849, but both suffered disastrous defeats due to its strength being at a disadvantage.

Having learned the lessons of the previous two failures, C.B. Cavour, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, did not hesitate to introduce French forces and dance with wolves. He promised France to send troops to assist the Kingdom of Sardinia. After expelling the Austrian forces from Lombardy and Venice, Sardinia

Ceded Savoy and Nice to France.

to March 1859

The 56,000-strong army of the Kingdom of Sardinia and the 116,000-strong French army entered the Piedmont region and launched a challenge to the Austro-Hungarian army entrenched in the region.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on the Kingdom of Sardinia and sent 170,000 troops across the Ticino River. A war between the two sides was imminent, and Europe would once again be plunged into the turmoil and unrest of war.

At this time, the Tang Kingdom should do something...

Thinking of this, Richard stopped, thought for a moment and said, "The world situation is already so turbulent. The Kingdom's army, which has been tempered for a long time, should also show its fangs. You plan to use the four newly reorganized field battles of the Central Military Region in the near future.

Once the division takes over Tijuana, it will be used as actual combat training. Let’s see what the training results are during this period of time?”

"I obey your orders."

Several big guys from the military department happily bowed down to accept the order. No... the credit has come again...
