A group of regiment-level chief officers, division, brigade and regiment-level staff members who participated in the "Gaosi Exercise" had been left for more than ten days, and when the intention of the legion outside the pass was semi-open, if they did not understand what they should do after participating in the exercise, they would be unqualified!
Yang Ge, who returned to the headquarters, did not see what he didn't want to see, but he was happy to get the transcript of the last subject of "Gaosi Exercise". He studied the Third Army North Transfer Plan formulated by the officers' regiment of "Gaosi Exercise" one by one based on the map. Yang Ge felt that he should give them a high score for their three-month "Test" score. Oh, no, it's a good review.
The Third Army's North Transfer was on the surface a normal military mobilization, and it was a return of the military's power to flow south since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. In fact, it was - whoever thinks this is stupid! The Germans would not think this way, Japan would not think this way, and the Russians would not think this way. Flynnberg could ask questions incisively; the Japanese were not able to ask questions, but they could watch and infer that many messages that Yangge was willing to convey to them; what would the Russians react?
In Yangge's view, the Third Army had at least four purposes for the North Transfer.
The purpose of diplomacy is to cooperate with his mentor Li Hongzhang's stay in Germany. However, Li Hongzhang was responsible for congratulating the Russian emperor on his crown and the mission of the Qing Dynasty to sign a contract. He should not wait in Germany for long. In May, the Russian emperor was crowned. Before April, the legions outside the pass would make moves to prove to the Germans that the Qing Dynasty's new-style army was determined to defend the interests of Manchuria, ensure the security of North Manchuria, and also ensure the commercial interests of the Germans in South Manchuria. Behind this guarantee is to adopt the "Chen Shuze suggestions" for the Germans and actively promote the alliance between Qing Dynasty and Germany with confidence.
Internal Affairs, 40,000 troops were transferred north and guarded the border for a long time, and the supply of food, fodder and ammunition was needed. While Shengjing had already collected a large number of immigrants, as the army headed north, immigrants followed up and advanced towards the Songnen Plain and Sanjiang Plain, completing the plan to develop the Great Northern Wilderness as an important part of the immigrant's border. The army, the army outside the pass, and the first army have a very high status among the people of the Qing Dynasty, especially among the immigrants, and are completely regarded as a backer by the immigrants! What military and civilians are one family, and the military and civilians are in harmony, and we don't talk about these, we only talk about the real things and what basic living conditions the army can provide to immigrants. Then, immigrants can give the army a hundred times and a thousand times in the future! Therefore, the Third Army is also the prelude to the promotion of immigrants' border to Jilin and Heilongjiang.
Regarding Russia, the Qing Dynasty strongly entered Heilongjiang and enriched its border defense. The Russians had only 40,000 or 50,000 military forces in the coastal areas of the Far East, and the two sides reached a balance of military power. So, when the Russians put forward "suggestions, plans, and conditions", they should first consider whether the Far East garrison troops can achieve the goal of "forced railway construction and forced military port rental"? If Russia insists on doing its own thing, it will inevitably mobilize troops to the Far East. This is the signal that Yangge gave to the Germans! It is not only Yangge who is vigilant about the Russians' increase in troops to the Far East, but also the Japanese and British. If the Russians really want to make a fool of themselves, the subsequent drama will be really good. Yangge does not mind that under the control of the British, he and the Japanese will work together to start a war against the Russians.
Regarding Japan, Yang Ge was very happy to see that the Japanese government maintained a "friendly" attitude on the issue of Japan-Qingxia relations. Regardless of whether this attitude is true or false, at least Yang Ge puts a division of troops in Liaodong as a warning to the North Korean direction, and it is also possible to invite the Japanese to join hands to start a war against Russia. Others think that the most likely strategy for the Qing people is to join forces to reject Japan, but Yang Ge doesn't think so. He believes that the strategy of joining Russia to reject Japan is completely strategic vision limited to the Far East and does not consider the "blocking the door" of international relations. He hates Japan to the core, but it does not prevent him from joining forces with the Japanese army at appropriate times. International relations, interests are the best friends.
After completing strategic thinking, we will consider the tactical implementation of the Third Army's North Transfer.
There is no decent road! Take the supplies by yourself! People of all ethnic groups in Jilin, Heilongjiang defend their treasure land but do not know it. They also live a fishing and animal husbandry life. The Third Army’s Northward transfer and immigration follow-up is an opportunity for the change of social life in Jilin and Heilongjiang. Guides, two-thirds of the officers and soldiers of the Third Army can serve as guides; for military maps, Wang Chuanyi’s military surveying and mapping team has arrived in Hailar.
Before the three armies moved, food and grass came first. Originally, Jingbian and Zhenbian under the Heilongjiang General, the enemy's army had become the pillars of the Third Army. In the past, the Grain Station Transfer Bureau, which was supplied to the Shengjing battlefield from Heilongjiang, could be restored. In addition, the troops station troops of the army require the troops stationed in the army, reviewed the results of the reorganization of the army outside the pass, and the army-level troop group's thousands of miles maneuverability in the Northeast Plain is now the time.
As long as the supply system along the way is completed before the army sets off, a thousand-mile march is not a problem.
Then, we need to consider the next issues.
First, the Third Army was deployed after heading north. The border line was too long, the rivers were crisscrossed, the terrain was complex, and the third army lacked cavalry strength could only complete the important task of guarding the border with the coordination of the Heilongjiang garrison (mainly cavalry). The specific implementation method was to facilitate the overall mobilization, response and supply support to the heavy army group situation, and to assist immigrants in reclaiming wasteland, strengthen military training and adaptive training after dressing. The cavalry units under the Heilongjiang General Shoushan were divided into two, half of which were used for border patrols and half stationed at key points, which were a rapid response force and an assault force cluster that assisted the infantry army in combat.
Secondly, the third army's great maneuver to the north is rare and cannot be missed as important training subjects. It is natural to add appropriate subject training in the middle.
The planning work of the officers' corps of "Gaosi Exercise" did not involve strategic thinking, but did a lot of work in the mobilization of large troops, garrisoning, subject training and response to emergencies, and their performance was excellent.
The first place in the emergencies is ethnic conflicts. The traditional fishing and herding life was disrupted, and the grazing land or fishing land was occupied by immigrants and changed to farming, which was not easy for ethnic minorities. In this regard, the plan of the officers' regiment was to send Mongolian Korqin, Oroqen, Hezhe, and Korean soldiers in the Third Army in advance to the settlement areas of various ethnic groups to preach the changes that happened in Shengjing after immigrating to the border and the benefits that locals and immigrants received. They could even bring the leaders of each tribe and leaders to Shengjing to take a look. Of course, the Heilongjiang General's Office would have to do a lot of work for this.
The second is the response to floods and disasters that may be encountered in the spring marching. As long as the army has ideological and material preparations, it is not difficult to overcome.
The third one is the horse bandits. The bandits may take advantage of the disturbances caused by the army to do evil, or even confuse the public, add fuel to the fire and discredit the army when ethnic conflicts intensify. Then, under the subject of a thousand-mile maneuver, it is natural to appropriately increase the number of bandits to attack and alert the snakes, and hunt and fight.
The fourth is disease prevention. Forty thousand troops and hundreds of thousands of immigrants followed the army, migrated for a long distance. After spring, the temperature gradually increased. The pine and tender. The potential source of disease infection in many water and grasslands in the Sanjiang Plain may cause disasters. The pioneering Legion Military Medical Bureau and the field hospitals drawn from the First Army were also in the plan of the officers' regiment.
The three cobblers were better than Zhuge Liang, let alone the officers who had experienced actual combat, the army's reorganization and special training!
Yang Ge, who has read the plan, felt very satisfied, could he not give the forty-three officers a good evaluation? He should give it, but he had to give it to himself first.
When Yang Ge was satisfied, Li Hao pushed open the door and reported: "General Secretary, the old coach is here."
Yiketang A walked quickly. As soon as Li Hao did not dodge, he appeared at the door and said with a gloomy face: "Telecommunication, Liu Fushuai Mingchuan died of illness at home in Hefei yesterday. The court, Beiyang and Liu's staff officer Gu all sent a telegram here."
The mentor Li Hongzhang was in Germany, and the leader of Beiyang was Yang Ge. Liu Mingchuan, the old commander of the Huai Army, passed away. The court and Beiyang both had to ask Yang Ge what he meant and carefully planned. Speaking of which, in addition to the number one general Liu Songjie and the nephew of the old commander, the origin of the first army can be traced back to the Ming army era. Even the Second Army of the Legion outside the pass also had many generals with the Ming army. From a political standpoint, the old commander actively implemented the new policy in Taiwan, which echoed Yang Ge's implementation of the new policy outside the pass.
Qu Tonggong's magic is that in order to promote the new policy into a tide, the spirit and deeds of the old coach should be vigorously promoted to Yang Geli to the best of his ability and become the dominant public opinion in the country. The old coach passed away depressedly. He was strongly promoted to the Westernization Movement and destroyed his new policy in Taiwan by Shao Youlian, and his personal career was also sacrificed in the repeated struggles and compromises between Li Hongzhang and the court. It can be said that Liu Mingchuan is a tragic hero and should be highly praised after his death to comfort future generations! To encourage future generations!
Yang Ge received the telegram from Yiketanga and looked straight out of Liu Songjie's sending. Liu Songjie was going to take leave to return to Hefei. He was the only representative of the Liu family in the military. To some extent, he was the heir of Liu Mingchuan.
"Yishai..."
Iktona waved his hand and said, "You make the decision about Beiyang. When you call back, add a sentence, Iktona Lazari has been fasting for three days in Fengtian, and Iktona Lazari, and I wish to send the soul to the Pure Land to bliss!"
Yang Ge nodded silently, and Yiketang turned and left.
The relationship between Yiketang and the Huai Army was entirely because of Yang Ge. Before that, Yishuai and the Hunan Army were more intimate because Wu Dacheng went to Heilongjiang to handle negotiations with Russia many times. The affairs in Beiyang were too complicated. Yiketang was difficult to intervene as a bannerman, and it was even worse that when Yang Ge was the leader of the Beiyang sect, he spoke too much, so it was enough to express his respect to Liu Mingchuan.
Yang Ge was really not familiar with the funeral and commendation, so he called Cao Wenhan in Anshan. Soon, Cao Wenhan rushed over. The two of them discussed for a while and called the capital to express their intention to handle the funeral of Liu Mingchuan solemnly.
On the 22nd year of the Guangxu period, on the February of the Renshen year, Liu Mingchuan died. Three days later, the court decided to posthumously grant the title of Prince Taibao, and the first viscount of Chaojin was inherited and replaced by the posthumously posthumously, Zhuangsu, and was ordered to build a special temple in Taiwan and Hefei. On the Qingming Festival, the day of the death, birthday, and year festival, the province where the temple was located was sent to preside over the memorial service, and the National History Museum was published. On the day of Dinghai, all the generals of the Legion outside the Pass set up a mourning hall at the Lutai Command to worship each other, and the First Division Command was changed to the Temple of Heroes and Martyrs before the front office of Yuguanzhong, and the name of Liu Shuai's Mingchuan was first.
