C2018 brainstorm (1/2)

Xiao Letian's pupils constricted as he thought to himself, What a good kid! Is this the consensus of your Rangers? His heart was truly wild! Was this going to be a foregone conclusion?

Without waiting for the leader to speak, Luo Huo shook his head first, ”No, no, there's something wrong with this plan of yours … ”In the history of reading and reading, there is a lot of logic. Since ancient times, China has always dominated the south, and there are very few in the south. According to Jiangnan, this was the work of the short lifespan empires …”

”Where's Da Ming? Da Ming was sent from the south to the north, and at that time, the north was the Mongolian. Xiang Ying retorted.

At this time, Sima Yun, who didn't like to talk much, also joined the debate, ”Da Ming, that was a special case. The Yuan Dynasty was the Central Plains between Song and Ming, but the way it ruled was completely different from the real Central Plains Empire …”

”On the surface, he also uses a few Confucian talents, but the proportion is very small. The center of the Yuan power is filled with religious figures and foreign races from the Middle East. Even European adventurer can be seen in the imperial court …”

”The Yuan Dynasty was only a true travelling dynasty. The local forces of the Central Plains basically didn't have much use and couldn't participate in policy making at all. At that time, the Yuan Dynasty treated the Central Plains as a pasture and damaged the farming civilization!”

”By the time the Ming Taizu's group of volunteers took to the skies, the northern part of the Yangtze River was basically over a thousand miles long. The population was extremely sparse, so the resources were exhausted. Once the southern economic lifeline was broken, it was inevitable that they would retreat!”

”However, this is not the case for the Great Qing Empire. Right now, the area where the Great Qing is most severely injured is Jiangnan. Instead, the population and economy of the North have been protected. This is completely different from the last year of the Yuan Dynasty!”

Sima Yun's analysis made everyone present nod their heads, but Xiang Ying remained stubborn, ”That is ancient times! Not modern! ”In ancient times, when the people of the north were sturdy and had strategic weapons, they were the cavalry regiment. Furthermore, the terrain was flat, making it easy for the armies to transfer to another battlefield.”

”That's why the south has been at a disadvantage against the north, but it's different now! The popularity of firearms has already caused the decline of the cavalry. A farmer who trains in fire shooting for three months can easily kill a cavalry soldier who has trained for three years! ”

This is the nemesis of cavalry, how did oculi bridge kill Seng Gelinqin? ”Has everyone forgotten …”

”More importantly, we have the navy! This is a brand-new army that the Qing Dynasty had never owned before. This is not an ancient navy, this is a real navy! ”

”As long as we have control of the sea, our cannons can bombard all the way from the Liaoning Peninsula to the mouth of the Yangtze River. All the ports in northern China are covered by our cannons, and our marines can turn the entire coastal areas of Liaoning, Zhi Li, and Shandong upside down!”

”With this kind of attack power, what kind of waves can the Qing Dynasty create? ”That's why your concerns are unfounded. I insist on my opinion that after Europe, we should immediately cede to Jiangnan!”

The atmosphere of the debate became more and more heated, even General Liang Kun who was not very good at strategy analysis said, ”Is it as simple as cutting down Jiangnan? What about Ceng Titou? Who would agree to that? ”

It seemed that Xiang Ying had already deduced it countless times when he was dealing with the Rangers, and immediately answered the many questions that were in his mind.

”That's right, Great Marshal Zeng Ceng Guofan would never rebel against the Qing Dynasty, but … But how many years was Great Marshal Zeng going to live? Director Wang, how long do you still have to wait for Ceng Guofan to die? ”

Wang Huaiyuan did not answer, but silently played with the pen in his hand.
