Later, the Vietnamese government recruited these brave peasant armed forces to give them land for resettlement, and some cattle would continue to rebel after eating the food, such as Huang Chongying’s successor Ye Chenglin’s department, but some honestly took the Vietnamese to subsidize the wilderness, such as the Liu Yongfu Black Flag Army Department
It took 175 years for the Chinese and local people in northern Vietnam to get along well. As Liu Yongfu did, the well-behaved immigrants played a considerable role. He not only appealed to the Han Chinese people to reclaim land, but also took in Vietnamese refugees to reclaim land. In addition, Chinese married local people, and Liu Yongfu married Vietnamese wives, who were very tough. There were also two women who were Chinese soldiers. After their husbands died fighting against France, they even recruited soldiers to avenge their husbands. Vietnamese women were also taught by China soldiers when they fought back in self-defense.
Mixed living and intermarriage is the best way to improve, but it takes too long to really take effect. In fact, the French invaded Beiqi in 173, and the French invaded Beiqi, which aroused the local people’s resistance. At this time, the Chinese, Vietnamese, Yao and other ethnic groups United against the French army, and the cohesion in this war improved in a short time.
There is a story that when Liu Yongfu attacked the French fort in Longwan sea, he couldn’t attack the Miao people. The brave and familiar water warriors drove the boat to the death and killed the fort. The French artillery captured the fort. When the French blew up the dam and flooded the anti-French Chinese, the Vietnamese drove the boat to rescue and save many people. The Bai Miao people were not soldiers, but it was very hard to transport food.
It is precisely because of the French invasion that the ethnic integration in the northern part of Vietnam can be said that China and Vietnam depend on France.
Ten years ago, the French made a comeback this time, and the Chinese peasants armed the Vietnamese gentry, the Yao people and the Miao people’s cottage leaders were able to contact each other and fight against the enemy together. The Vietnamese government recruited workers to work for the army through these township organizations, and they understood that, especially the army insisted on giving them cash wages, which aroused the enthusiasm of these workers.
A month later, after the completion of the simple trench, a strong fortress fort was built deep into the encirclement, and the distance could be used to bombard the French fortress artillery, but on the whole, the army suffered because the French army still occupied the terrain and all the high foundations were controlled by the French army
Only after the siege was completed did we seek to change this situation. After careful investigation, the 6 th Army decided to capture Tushankou, which goes deep into the sea. It is like embracing two arms of Haiphong in the north. Once Tu Shan can be captured, although the artillery range is less than 26 kilometers away from Haiphong City, it can already block the Tu Shan bend and let the French fleet stay in Haiphong, otherwise it may be annihilated.
Section six hundred and ninety-nine Coastal Defence Campaign 2
Zhang Shan, who is in charge of commanding this battle, is also the general commander of the Vietnamese army. He thinks this battle is important and he decides to command it himself.
Therefore, his company commander was sent to France by the Ministry of War for several years after the war against Japan, and he knew the latest situation of the French army best, but at the beginning he did not study in France but in Denmark.
After the war against Japan, the army also introduced the rank system. Although the Ministry of War sent a group of young officers such as Wen Kite out, it gave no one a high rank. Wen Kite, Zhang Shan, Chen Jishi and Deng Shicai were all generals. At the same time, the Ministry of War abolished the military region system, and the company commanders of various military regions changed their positions to be very established. Back to the early Zhu Yuanzhang era, the Ministry of War civil servants considered preventing military commanders from becoming bigger like the emperor.
Standing soldiers are no longer divided into military regions, but belong to the Ministry of War, and the provinces directly under the Ministry of War set up military towns and reserve military institutions.
The standing army units are no longer named by place names, but by numbers, from the first army to the sixtieth army. The source of soldiers in the standing army is no longer local units, but the recruits draw lots to determine the ownership of the standing army, and the number of the standing army is consistent from the first reserve army to the sixth reserve army.
The standing army has a normal establishment of 10 thousand people, and the reserve army has 20 thousand people. The main purpose of the reserve army organization is not to fight, but to supplement the standing army.
By restructuring the Ministry of War in this way, the small and medium-sized organizations and local forces in the army were disintegrated. This is obviously their original intention, which is similar to the rotation system of the military region in the Song Dynasty, in order to prevent the army from being warlordized
This idea of restructuring may be thought out by civil servants, but it is obvious that a professional must be responsible for the implementation of the technical operation, mainly from the Ministry of War to manage the General Staff, and Deng Shicai, the veteran of the military generals, is cooperating.
In order to know other meanings and arguments, the adjustment of officers’ ranks has almost completely renovated the entire military structure, and that is to limit the strength of military commanders.
The officer corps is definitely not satisfied that Deng Shicai took the blame and was regarded as a traitor by the whole army young people for a while, but the Ministry of War gave him a good position. Obviously, he has changed from a military position to a civilian position. The Ministry of War also hopes that through him, the civilian of the Ministry of War needs a pedestrian.
The major restructuring of the army made Zhu Jinglun not worry about the influence. Once the combat effectiveness of the army was suppressed by civil servants, the army often had no combat effectiveness in China history, both in the Song Dynasty and in the middle and late generations.
However, the Ministry of War is very determined. Whether they want to change the military system of this local unit or not, they will suppress the army’s own way. They think that the military system is the biggest worry. Zhu Jinglun is also worried about the warlordization of the army and finally has to agree.
Whether the army still has its original combat effectiveness depends on this battle. So far, the army has performed well and made no big mistakes. After all, the grass-roots army has not changed, but has been renamed to adjust the officers in a large scale. Theoretically speaking, in the case that officers are professional officers and soldiers are professional soldiers, it should not affect the combat effectiveness. I am afraid there are other reasons for the weakness of soldiers in the Song Dynasty.
Because of breaking the military system, Wen Yuan was disintegrated. They had to reorganize the two armies to form a temporary corps for a large-scale battle. However, it is hard to predict how much fighting capacity the large corps can exert because of this long-term lack of cooperation.
At present, there is a great reason why we are not fully prepared before fighting the French. We set up troops to enter Vietnam in the preparation period and conducted many cooperative exercises in Zhang Shan. If this method is effective, it will become a routine. The only thing to worry about is whether the temporary outbreak of war will make the army unprepared, such as a sneak attack by foreign enemies.
These situations still need to be explored. The formation of an army style is not overnight.
Zhang Shan led the 30 armies that entered the Vietnam Army, and all of them compiled an army according to wartime, with a total strength of 20,000 people reaching 600,000. After entering Vietnam, 300,000 people were led by Chen Jishi, a French deputy commander who had studied abroad. South Zhang Shan was ordered to lead the other 300,000 people in the northern war.
Chen Jishi will wait for the main defense force in South Zhang Shan, and here he will carry out a coastal defense campaign to completely drive the French army out of the whole northern region and recover the whole northern Vietnam
Because the French army occupied all the strategic locations and high points, the army couldn’t even find a good observation post, but Zhang Shan decided to personally investigate a battlefield and fly to the sky without commanding heights.
It is impossible to set up balloon troops in Europe in Napoleon’s time without introducing materials, mainly silk. The sealing effect of silk weaving should be regarded as the best quality material before rubber production.
Zhang Shan was not alone in balloon reconnaissance, and there was an officer wearing a sky-blue military uniform and black military pants with him.
Obviously, this is not an army uniform, but a navy uniform. The main officers of the navy study in Britain and still send overseas students to the West on a large scale every year. The navy has inherited the British offensive concept, warfare mode and thought, but it is unlucky to wear white uniforms for funerals.
Army uniforms are dark blue uniforms and red pants. The concept of color confusion has not yet arisen in this era. Most military uniforms in various countries pay attention to freshness, which is to make people recognize it at a glance. It can boost the morale of soldiers and stimulate the sense of honor. It will be despised to find out that sneak attack in this chivalrous era before being attacked by the enemy.
"how about it? Can you guarantee to block the French navy? "
Telescope Zhang Shan asked the naval officer beside him that the balloon was not big, and two people could do it by themselves in the balloon.
The naval officer said, "It is not difficult to block the French navy. Our army can array the other side in Tu Shan to Jipo Island, and we can fight a decisive battle at the mouth of Baiteng River. However, if the number of the other fleet in Tu Shan fortress is dominant before the army law, it will be difficult for our army to annihilate even if it can defeat the French army. Once the other side breaks through, it will be difficult to trap them."
Zhang Shan said, "Can’t the navy block it?"
The naval officer shook his head. "The Baiteng estuary is not a closed bay. Once the other side finds that our army can still go out to sea from Longwan side, the number of our fleet is less than that of the other side. If it is blocked separately, there is no winning rate."
Zhang Shan added, "What about blocking the port and blocking the other side in the port?"
The naval officer said, "The harbor here is wide and deep."
Apparently, the navy has already investigated it.
Zhang Shan nodded. "So it can be that our army attacked Tu Shan because the other navy came to support or the former scurry off can create opportunities for the navy!"
The naval officer said, "If the army can threaten the other side of Tu Shan, the navy will either leave the port for naval gun support or choose to give up the best channel for coastal defense or the Baiteng estuary, and we can intercept it here. If the army can capture the fortress when it can, the joint forces of army artillery fire and our navy are expected to hit hard and annihilate the main force of the French navy. If the other side carefully bypasses Longwan to the north, where there are many islands, the navigation channels of the large fleet are limited, it is more convenient for our army to intercept it, and once it is intercepted by our army, it can adjust its formation and be passively beaten."
Zhang Shandao: "Our army has taken the area of Hung Kai Longwan, which is no longer under the control of the French army. They will not rest assured that our army will attack Tu Shan and the other side will have a way from the mouth of Baiteng River."
The naval officer said, "Yes, once the army attacks the other warships in Tu Shan, there will be a response. Our navy will respond to the result, depending on whether the army can take Tu Shan. It is impossible to annihilate the main force of the French navy sooner or later."
Zhang Shan nodded. "We will attack as scheduled according to the established time."
The two armies have long agreed that when the army attacks and conquers Tu Shan, the navy will take the calculation on time, but at a certain time, it will just arrive, and then the land and sea will cooperate to beat each other off guard.
Although I confirmed with the naval liaison officer again, Zhang Shan is not optimistic about the naval joint war plan at all. However, they don’t need to offend the navy in this war. It’s too bad that the navy has been crushed by the army in recent years. It has long been plotting to fight a turnaround. At this time, it is not necessary to find uncomfortable.
The officialdom has had a hard time in Army Day for several years. Hundreds of senior and middle-ranking officers were suppressed by the Ministry of War. Even the veteran Wen Yuan and other three people had to go abroad to be military attaché s, while Deng Shicai was scolded by the whole army as a traitor, but no one would know that things behind him were complicated.
The three of them did have a conflict with Deng Shicai, but it was not because Deng Shicai cooperated with the Ministry of War to reform the system, but because Deng Shicai refused to join them in the joint attack on Japan. Deng Shicai told them at that time that the officer status body put pressure on the government like a soldier’s suggestion, not only refused to sign, but advised them not to do such a thing.
At that time, they were young and energetic, so they couldn’t listen. Everyone was eager to fight a war. The government refused to fight Japan in the northern expedition to the Central Plains, so that small countries would always have no problem. They didn’t feel the seriousness.
In the end, they were suppressed by the government. Then, on the surface, Deng Shicai cooperated with the Ministry of War to dismantle the military region where they had compiled a large corps. But in reality, Deng Shicai didn’t cooperate with the Ministry of War to let those civilian people fiddle with each other, which made the army even more hurt.
In exchange for Deng Shicai’s cooperation, Deng Shicai also entered the Ministry of War. At the same time, in recent years, the army’s funding has not been blocked, and the equipment level of the continental army has always been focused on the level of the mainstream European army. The adults of the Ministry of War are playing a balance because they have suppressed the middle and senior officers of the army, but the main reason is the ideological reasons of the adults of the Ministry of War. In the final analysis, it is a land country. The main development direction is definitely the northern expedition rather than overseas expansion.
Since the end of the Japanese War, the navy has not added a new ship for three years. Obviously, the government has given priority to the army in the financial situation.
It is a position for the navy and the army to fight for the right and wrong of all countries, and a higher position will of course be given priority, and there will be no shortage of resources
Obviously, it has a higher position in the continental army. Although those people in the navy have never died and insisted on the British sea argument, what is the result? This time, the interests of the navy in the French war were finally suppressed, and the political interests sacrificed the naval first-Mover advantage. Otherwise, the navy had already eliminated the French colonial fleet. Of course, eliminating that small fleet was not beneficial to the overall situation, but it could make the navy master the sea before the arrival of the main force of the French navy. With the control of the sea, the variables in this battle will be great. The army must even cooperate with the navy to attack Saigon from the sea instead of squeezing it from the land
By sea, the army must cooperate with the navy, and the navy will dominate the war.
As a result, the civil servants sacrificed the interests of the navy again and again, and the main force of the navy is seriously weaker than that of France, so that the navy has to include the army in their plan, and they intend to help the navy seize the sea with the help of the army.
At this point, the army is going to help, which proves that the army has more spare capacity than the navy. No, in addition, they also have the overall situation, but everyone knows that the navy and the army must cooperate with each other in modern warfare.
