Chapter 979: Foreign Army
After coming out of Qingzhou University, Xiao Ming, Niu Ben, and Luo Quan returned to the palace.
In the imperial study, Xiao Ming looked at the map of Siberia and said to the two: "I have always had an idea, this Siberia is vast and remote, even if it is occupied and controlled, it will be difficult to control, and it will also contain a lot of troops in the Great Yu Kingdom, so I want to set up a foreign legion, which is composed of Koreans and Japanese people, so that they can fight against the Russian soldiers in Siberia." ”
"Foreign Legion, this is a bit like a mercenary." Luo Quan said.
"It's pretty much the same, but the difference is that this Foreign Legion will be trained by us, use our equipment, and not be comparable to mercenaries in terms of combat effectiveness, and most importantly, the Foreign Legion will be more obedient." Xiao Ming said with a smile.
In fact, after the occupation of Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, he had this idea, and in the colonial wars of the Age of Discovery, it was almost common sense to train a part of the indigenous army to control the indigenous countries for themselves, otherwise relying on the country itself to maintain a huge colony would drag itself down.
During the war with Goryeo, Ye Qingyun had actually cultivated a group of foreign legions, which was the Goryeo army led by Li Chengzai at the beginning.
The only drawback is that Li Chengzai finally tried to rebel because of his ambition, but he was also captured by his generals.
"Your Majesty, isn't this the Goryeo army that Li Chengzae once led? The last general was worried that these soldiers were not loyal enough to the Great Chongqing State, and would endanger the Great Chongqing State. Niu Ben was a little worried.
Xiao Ming laughed when he heard this, and he said to the two: "You are worried about it too much, first of all, the foreign army will not prepare firearms with the same water skin, and secondly, the war relies on the comprehensive national strength of a country, and now we have a strong industrial base, which can provide abundant materials for the war at any time, and what does the foreign army have?" When we run out of ammunition, they are nothing more than lambs, and by using them we can reduce the consumption of our own military power. “
Luo Quan and Niu Ben looked at each other and nodded slowly, due to the characteristics of firearms, it only takes three months to train an army now, and the same is true for foreign armies.
"In that case, the ministers will prepare for this foreign army when they return, and strive to send them to Siberia as soon as possible."
"Well, let's only recruit 20,000 people for the time being, 10,000 Koreans and 10,000 Japanese people, this Koreans and Japanese people have always been incompatible, and it is easy to control if there is a situation that gets out of control." Xiao Ming said with a deep groan.
The name of this foreign army is quite good, in fact, it is a puppet army, the second dog is first-class, he knows that such an army has its drawbacks, it is easier to send equipment to the enemy, but you can't avoid medical treatment because of this, after all, such an army still has a certain combat effectiveness, enough for a headache for Tsarist Russia.
Moreover, contemporary history proves that Goryeo has always been very qualified to play the role of the second dog, during the Japanese occupation for the Japanese to attack China, during the American occupation for the American masters, and even participated in the Vietnam War, and did many cruel things than the American army.
For a country with such characteristics, he naturally wants to take advantage of it.
As for the Wa Kingdom, he did not believe in its apparent obedience, and the Goryeo State was small, knowing that he could not fight against the big powers, and was willing to be a lackey.
However, the Japanese kingdom is obedient on the surface, but in fact, it contains evil intentions inside, and sooner or later it will attack its master.
During this time, he thought about it carefully, during the strong period of the Central Plains Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom was very obedient, and once it fell into decline, the Wa State would come up and take a bite, and tried his best to make the Central Plains Dynasty die, which proved that occupying the Central Plains Dynasty was the unchanging ambition of the Wa people.
Moreover, the land of the Wa Kingdom is narrow, and natural disasters have been going on for many years, which makes the people of the island country have a natural sense of insecurity, and it is this fear out of survival instinct that makes the Wa Kingdom have an obsessive desire for the huge territory of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Therefore, Xiao Ming has always been wary of the Japanese State while colonizing it, and will not give it a chance to be strong, otherwise the Japanese State will once again become a strong enemy of the Great Chongqing State.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Niu Ben and Luo Quan responded.
After a pause, Xiao Ming continued: "In addition, it's time for the Golden Horde to clean up, take this opportunity to test the power of Han-style rifles and guard artillery, after the beginning of spring, let the thunder of Gongwei Youzhou advance towards Raozhou, this time we must clean them up fiercely, let them understand that the result of colluding with Tsarist Russia is destruction!" “
Niu Ben grinned when he heard this, and he said with some expectation: "Your Majesty, this attack on the Golden Horde will be carried out by the last general himself, and the last general would like to see the power of Han-style rifles and guards artillery in the grassland." ”
Luo Quan argued: "This opportunity should be given to young people like Lu Fei and Lu Quan, you and I, old bones, can only plan in the Military Aircraft Department, and this body can't come." ”
When Niu Ben heard this, a dark look appeared on his face, eleven years have passed in a blink of an eye, he is now more than a child, and Luo Quan is also about the same age.
A few days ago, the two also talked about retiring to the court.
Opening his mouth, Niu Ben said: "Yes, it is the world of young people now, but it is my lifelong wish to destroy the Golden Horde, Your Majesty, let the last general go to the battlefield for the last time." ”
"Your Majesty, I will accompany him, and it is estimated that I will not go to the battlefield many times in the future." Luo Quan sighed.
Xiao Ming's gaze wandered over the two veterans, they had indeed done too much for the Great Chongqing Country in their lives, and they should live a comfortable life.
He also knows what they think now, and he is not reluctant to do so, although Lian Po is still old? It represents a spirit of not admitting defeat, but after all, time is not forgiving.
"I understand the thoughts of the two generals, the Golden Horde has always been the enemy you have sworn to destroy in your hearts, after all, the Golden Horde owes us too much blood debt to Dayu Kingdom, and it is also your lifelong enemy, in this case, I will allow you to lead the army north to eliminate this great trouble." Xiao Ming said softly, Niu Ben and Luo Quan were both generals living in Xiao Wenxuan's era, and their lifelong enemies were always barbarians, and now the goal of young generals is to compete with European powers.
"Emperor Xie Longen, after this battle, the wish of the two of me will come true, this son should also be given to the young man, Lu Fei, Luo Xin, Lei Ming, Ye Qingyun and others are all young and promising generals, and they can replace the two of us." Niu Ben said slowly.
Xiao Ming nodded, the two of them were not cheating, so he said: "The two generals have made up their minds, and I will not force them to stay, I only hope that the two generals can give more guidance to these juniors, and I can leave a place for you in the Military Academy." ”
