Chapter 3 The Later Ming Can Be Considered Great Ming
As the saying goes, "You can be invincible only if you don't fight an unprepared battle." The Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Governor's Office have been preparing for this upcoming war for more than ten years, and the results are It is reflected in many aspects.

Due to the special combat area, altitude sickness is almost inevitable. Based on the countless experiences and lessons accumulated over the past 200 years, it is natural that corresponding drugs and medical equipment should be prepared in advance.

After eating his first meal since crossing, that is, a few canned food, the medical team from the brigade headquarters and the "babies" arrived at the station of the First Battalion.

The battalion-level units of the Ming army did not govern the medical units in normal times. The latter were concentrated in the regiment or brigade headquarters for unified management in normal days. They were dismantled into multiple medical units and distributed to each battalion in wartime.

As for the so-called "baby", there are actually five folk doctors, three women and two men. Except for the leading middle-aged male doctor, the rest are all fledgling young people.

Facing Zhou Changfeng's suspicious gaze, the leading doctor understood and explained with a sigh: "Sir, acute altitude sickness is quite dangerous, and there are not many doctors who are good at it. The incident happened suddenly... we had to take care of it."

Not long ago, several groups of doctors who are good at cardiology or respiratory medicine have been recruited to join the army around the capital, and now the third mixed brigade of the imperial guards has received a temporary order to dispatch, so they can only recruit the next best thing. up.

Along with the medical team came a batch of targeted special items, including 120 boxes of mannitol, [-] boxes of Dangshen Hongjingtian pills, and four small oxygen generators.

Mannitol is a common dehydration drug used to treat cerebral edema; Dangshenhongjingtian pill is a compound traditional Chinese medicine, which has a certain preventive effect on altitude sickness.

"We're leaving early tomorrow morning, so don't move your personal belongings anymore. Take the time to rest now."

"well."

It can be said that Zhou Changfeng has basically entered the state after a few hours of adaptation, as if he has forgotten his past before the time travel.

Just settle down with the situation, let's settle the matter at hand first.

According to the information he got from insinuating during this period of time, as well as the memories fed back in his subconscious, he knew that today's Daming was barely a constitutional country, and had already completed initial industrialization with stumbles.

If we go back to history, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian hanged himself on Meishan, Ming Dynasty died, then Wu Sangui switched, Shunjun was defeated in the battle of stones, the Qing army marched straight in, Li Zicheng died on Jiugongshan... Everything at the beginning was related to Zhou Changfeng's Memory is the same.

However, at the moment when the mountains and rivers were broken, a descendant of the Zhu family's royal family appeared inexplicably, that is, a little-known lieutenant of Fengguo who had a lot of hands?
They disdain to be associated with Nanming, who is constantly fighting among themselves. Instead, they form a faction of their own.

Although the emperor is indeed a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang in blood, the Ming Dynasty restored in this way is actually different from the original Ming Dynasty in essence, and it is more accurate to call it "Later Ming".In addition, since it is the pioneering work of the standard, the temple name of this ordinary Fengguo Lieutenant after his death is naturally Shizu.

Regarding this unrecognizable history, Zhou Changfeng couldn't help muttering to himself——Damn it!Isn't this a replica of Eastern and Western Han?This Ming Shizu took the script of Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, right?

However, it is a pity that it seems that the heavens are jealous of talents, and this stalwart man died not long after he ruled the world, otherwise he would definitely be able to make another major reform.

But the emotion is emotion, for a major, these are not important, the most urgent task now is to complete the imminent task.

The war itself is a complex collection, involving all aspects. The so-called "a layman watches the excitement, and an insider watches the way." Military enthusiasts are often more enthusiastic about an army's weapons and equipment. However, in Zhou Changfeng's eyes, these are secondary. The organizational structure That's the key.

The army of an industrial country must have a complete and usable weaponry system, and he doesn't need to worry about this.

What he cares about is the specific organization of his unit, and he must know that commanding an infantry unit on foot is completely different from a mechanized infantry unit.

After returning to the room, Zhou Changfeng rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and then shouted outside: "Xiao Li, I found the standard staffing table. Where are the training regulations and officer manuals?"

After a while, he found a lot of books and pamphlets, which can be described as dazzling - "Infantry Manual", "Army Actual Combat Collection", "New Theory of Coastal Defense Operations", "Weapons and Equipment of Various Countries", " Tactics", "Operational Strategy of Mobile Forces".

These things... pick a few important ones and take them with you, and read them when you get on the train.

Knowing that Zhou Changfeng was going to bring these, the young guard couldn't help being a little puzzled, why did this high-achieving officer have to hold his feet temporarily?
At this moment, Zhou Changfeng opened his locked safe and found several red-headed documents issued by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

He quickly glanced at one of the documents. The entire document was written vertically and arranged from right to left. The eight red characters "General Orders of the Metropolitan Government" on the far right were particularly eye-catching. Be sure to avoid skimping.

Uh uh... It seems that the deduction of military pay is a fine tradition of the Ming army since ancient times?
The other order is different, its title is "Military Order of the Metropolitan Government", and it says:
"Urgently order your department to switch to combat readiness from now on, check your armaments, prepare your troops and horses, and complete combat preparations within four days, and plan to set off on June [-]. If there are any changes, please wait for the notification from your superiors. This order must be followed."

At the end of the article, a square bright red seal is clearly visible, which are four large characters in official script: Seal of Dudufu.

The so-called Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is actually a derivative government office of the Five Armed Forces Governor's Mansion, but it has returned to its original nature. Now it is the highest military command organization of Ming Dynasty.

As the chief officer of an army, it is extremely important to know the true state of his subordinates at all times, so frequent personal inspections are indispensable.

Although it was already the time when the willows were on the top of the moon, the lights in the resident were brightly lit, as bright as day.

Looking at the trucks loaded with weapons and equipment, something flashed through Zhou Changfeng's mind. He turned around and asked puzzledly, "The Sichuan-Tibet Railway has been completed?"

The mixed brigade is a motorized unit, and its demand for logistics supplies is much greater than that of ordinary foot infantry units. If there is no railway...

Xie Wancheng who was following him was a little stunned, what nonsense is the officer talking about?That is Uzbek, where the height difference is huge, the land is covered with permafrost, and the Hengduan Mountains have to be penetrated, with an average altitude of more than [-] feet. Building a railway on the top of the world is like a daydream.

After getting a negative answer, Zhou Changfeng immediately frowned, "Huh? Only the Sichuan-Tibet and Qinghai-Tibet highways? Then why...forget it."

He swallowed the second half of the sentence—why not send a lightly armed infantry unit for reinforcements, instead of sending motorized troops to such a place?
