Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

The officers rushed to the designated place one after another, and only then did they know the reason for coming here, but most of them did not have any dislike for the upcoming surrender ceremony, mainly because of two points.First of all, most of them have lost confidence in their own country and government, and they are unwilling to continue to give anything for this hopeless country.Secondly, most of these people are from Baghdad or surrounding areas. They don't want their homes to be destroyed by the Chinese. Therefore, based on the above reasons, most of the Iraqi military officers chose to surrender.

The surrender ceremony was held in the People's Square in the center of Baghdad. The ceremony was very simple. All officers lined up in a single file, and then placed their guns and military flags in front of the sculpture in the center of the square in front of the Chinese special envoy, Du Yuming. Then, the Chinese armed personnel standing there quickly took these things away.The Iraqi officers who lost their weapons were taken to the six largest hotels in the city, where Du Yuming and the others had temporarily opened them up as prisoner-of-war camps.

Then, Du Yuming called several captive representatives, and he asked these captives to rush back to his troops immediately, bring those soldiers who were still defending the outskirts of Baghdad to the city, and ordered them to lay down their weapons.Those Iraqi military officers quickly agreed to Du Yuming's request.

Soon, soldiers stationed on the outskirts of the city appeared near the square one after another, and they lined up neatly.The leading soldiers were still shouting passwords, obviously they didn't know what they were going to do.However, when they received the order to put down their weapons, everyone was stunned for a moment, but quickly followed suit.

Seeing that everything was going smoothly, the Chinese ambassador Guo Taiqi, who was extremely nervous, could finally breathe a sigh of relief, he quietly pulled Du Yuming past him, and whispered: "Major, God opened his eyes, our radio station has been repaired at a critical moment. If it weren't for the telegram sent by General Chen Jitang, God knows what kind of situation we would be facing now."

"Haha..." Du Yuming looked at the terrified Ambassador Guo with strange eyes, and suddenly burst into laughter. After a while, the lunatic said to Ambassador Guo: "Actually, I haven't contacted the headquarters at all, and the radio station has not been repaired either. .”

"Ah?" Guo Taiqi was taken aback, and asked palely, "Where did that telegram come from?"

"Hey." Du Yuming smiled evilly and said, "Of course I made this up, because I really can't think of any way to calm the other party. So... Ambassador, why did you faint? Wake up ..."

In this way, Du Yuming led 10 armored soldiers and captured 3 Iraqi officers and soldiers in just 13 hours, of which 2300 were officers. He also became the master of this city with a population of one million as a matter of course.After the surrender ceremony, Du Yuming and his subordinates swaggered into the most luxurious garden hotel in Iraq.There they enjoyed the luxurious treatment that only the head of state and the royal family can enjoy.

Soldiers who were not married began to dance around wine and food, while soldiers with families made long shopping lists and collected all kinds of daily necessities for free, from clothes, shoes, sheets, pillows to pots and pans Pots, as long as there are things with Iraqi characteristics, they all have to take them home. They don't think this is robbing the property of the Iraqis at all, because the other party is eager to use these things to curry favor with the Chinese.

The other two platoon leaders began to collect all kinds of firearms and weapons. In order to please Du Yuming and his men, the manager of the hotel even recruited dozens of high-end prostitutes.Seeing these graceful and charming Persian women, Du Yuming, who hadn't had sex for a long time, and his subordinates stared straight at each other.Although Du Yuming and the others also tasted the taste of Middle Eastern women in India and Afghanistan, they contributed all the beautiful ones to their chiefs, and they could only get some leftovers.It's different now, although these women are called prostitutes, they are all the hottest and best in Baghdad, and they don't have to worry about being robbed by someone. go up...

Although his blackmail has achieved unimaginable results, and now he is hugging Wenxiang nephrite and enjoying Jinyi food, but Du Yuming is still very clear about his current situation. He has gained control of Baghdad, and the Iraqis have surrendered. , but the crisis is not over yet.If the main force of the Dragon Army can't arrive here as soon as possible and take over the city, then those Iraqis are likely to see through their lies, and the revenge measures taken by the fooled Iraqis are absolutely unimaginable.

The most important thing right now is how to stabilize the situation in Baghdad.Fortunately, although Baghdad has been damaged to a certain extent, it is generally well preserved. In particular, infrastructure such as power plants and water plants have not been damaged, and key areas such as grain depots have not been looted.Therefore, the daily life of the citizens can still be maintained.It was now up to him to master the rest of the city.

So, while Du Yuming asked the soldiers to send a message for reinforcements to the broken radio station, he ordered his subordinates to collect large-scale accurate maps of the entire city, files and tax records of the police station and archives.Through these, he wants to understand the specific situation of Baghdad, the distribution of population and the management of taxation.Moreover, after the battle was over, he was able to hand over these things to the Chinese administrative agencies so that they could take over the city smoothly.In addition, he also asked the Baghdad police chief to immediately provide a list of detainees in prisons in the city. He requested that the age, race and other relevant information of these criminals should be recorded in detail on this list, as well as the crimes committed and reason for arrest.In short, this list should be comprehensive and detailed.The reason why he did this was to use this list to find political prisoners in custody and allies of the Dragon Army to strengthen his own strength.

As soon as the Baghdad police chief left, Du Yuming called the Baghdad health chief and the heads of several major hospitals.He asked to recruit women with medical experience. All doctors must stay in their own hospitals and perform their duties.All hospitals are ready to receive the wounded.

Then, he also asked to collect all civilian strategic materials such as medicines, gasoline, salt, and cloth, and store them in several warehouses, which were monitored by the Chinese.

In order to appease the people, Du Yuming also announced that the hospital would be a neutral unit, open normally, and provide medical services to citizens 24 hours a day. He also asked all universities, middle schools and primary schools in Baghdad to resume classes normally the next day.At the same time, he has no restrictions on commercial activities during the day, and merchants can set up stalls in markets and other areas.Department stores are also operating normally.Bars can also open, but not 24 hours.At the same time, he also announced that since there are still dangerous resistance forces in the Baghdad area, only citizens with ID cards can take to the streets after 8 o'clock in the evening, and all other people will have a curfew. .

The Will of the Empire 8Chapter 17 Incredible

Although Du Yuming is enjoying himself as the temporary mayor of Baghdad, he still knows that the most important thing at present is to get in touch with the main force of the Dragon Army outside the city as soon as possible, and inform them of the current situation in Baghdad, so that they can move in as soon as possible. the city. "One day has passed, what happened to the liaison officer sent by Ambassador Guo?" Du Yuming waited anxiously...

At the same time, Ambassador Guo Taiqi is also paying attention to the situation of the liaison officer.He has experienced too much in the past two days. If he continues to be so frightened, he is really afraid that he will have a heart attack and be admitted to the hospital.He is also praying every day, hoping that the liaison officer can get in touch with the main force of the dragon army as soon as possible.

In the temporary conference room of the Dragon Army 30 kilometers away from Baghdad, the atmosphere was very tense, and the senior generals of the Armored Corps seemed a little crowded sitting in this space of only a dozen square meters.The security outside the venue was heavily guarded, and the inside of the venue was filled with smoke, which made people feel a little weird.

"Impossible, it's impossible." A middle-aged general wearing the uniform of a major general of the Long Army said loudly. He is the commander of the 41th Motorized Infantry Division of the 16st Armored Army. Major General Song Xilian, as a soldier with 26 years of military experience A senior military officer, he was very shocked by this sudden news. He couldn't believe that the capital of a country would surrender rashly without declaring it an undefended city and without any ground exchange of fire.He even didn't believe that the city could be taken by just a dozen armored soldiers carrying a few guns, so when the two sides discussed whether to enter Baghdad, he was the first to jump out and object, "We should pay attention to this. It may be the trick of the Iraqis or the French, they want us to sneak into their well-designed ambush circle, and then destroy us mercilessly." He reminded everyone present loudly.

"Mr. Song!" Hearing what the other party said, Chen Jitang, who was sitting opposite him, was not happy. Although he didn't believe that his men took down Baghdad with ten people at first, but through a series of understandings, he had Knowing that Du Yuming did lead a squad of about one squad across the Tigris River and entered the main city of Baghdad.Although he doesn't know whether the Iraqi government surrendered in the end, he is a bit mixed about his subordinate's bold move. The happy thing is that if this thing is true, then his credit will not only be as small as it is now, but he can even To be dubbed the "Conqueror of Iraq" is the honor, and the first-class Golden Dragon Medal cannot escape.However, what made him angry was that this Du Yuming didn't even greet him when he set off, and he didn't make radio contact with him at the same time. Such a big credit fell into the hands of this guy so quietly.But no matter what, Du Yuming is his confidant and favorite general. Now that someone has blatantly accused him, how could he, Old Chen, swallow this anger.

He immediately stood up, "Mr. Song, there is nothing impossible in this world. My people did enter Baghdad. There is no doubt about it. As for whether Baghdad has surrendered, although we don't have exact information. , but I have dispatched a reconnaissance unit and I believe a full report will be forthcoming."

"Anyway, I just don't believe it." Song Xilian interrupted the other party with a wave of his hand. His troops belonged to the Ninth Army and were not under Chen Jitang's command, so there was no need to give the other party face. "Perhaps your men did enter Baghdad. But they may be dead, or they may be hiding in some dark corner praying for God's blessing, only the news of Iraq's surrender may be a rumor made by some boring people. Or some Some people with ulterior motives want to achieve some ulterior motives through this matter. You are right, after all, no one knows the current situation, and no one can say that a matter is true without clear evidence , However, when determining whether something is true, there must be a bottom line. This matter, at least so far, is indeed ridiculous. Although I admit that the soldiers of the Panzer Corps are indeed brave and good at fighting, they are not supermen. The Iraqis stationed in Baghdad are not all useless, Baghdad is also the capital after all, and they will not surrender so easily. There is a problem here, there is definitely a problem!" Song Xilian even hit the table with his fist.

"Okay, don't talk about it! This is a meeting, not a teahouse, what does it look like to be yelling!" Seeing that the veins on Chen Jitang's forehead were bulging, Feng Yuxiang, who was sitting in the middle of the table, immediately waved his hand to stop him The two sides said, "Now we are discussing how to attack Baghdad, rather than fighting with our own people here, so that we can last to the battlefield. Whether Baghdad surrenders or not is not important to us now. What is important now is what I do. Time to attack!" Feng Yuxiang scolded loudly.As the supreme commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, he certainly hopes that his subordinates will be able to surrender without fighting when they attack the opponent's fortified city, but now when this situation really happens, he is afraid again, just like Song Xilian That being said, what if it really was a bait set by the Iraqis?It's not that Feng Yuxiang has never encountered such a thing.From China to Europe, what kind of cities and what kind of battles he has never experienced.But the city of Baghdad made him feel very strange.The capital of a country, a large city with a population of more than 100 million, was rumored to be captured by a dozen soldiers, not to mention Song Xilian, even he didn't quite believe it.Although, in his memory, there was also a case where a small team captured several county towns, but those were county towns after all, not a capital city like Baghdad.

Feng Yuxiang shook his head slightly, and then said: "I think we should wait for the reconnaissance troops we sent out to bring back accurate information. What I want to say is that if the city really surrenders, then everyone will be happy. If This is just a rumor, and we should be alert to whether this is a scam by the other party. If it is really a rumor, then we will adopt a method. First, all the armored forces will bypass the city and continue to attack south, and then leave a small amount Motorized units and artillery units continue to besiege the city, and at the same time inform the air force units to completely wipe Baghdad from the earth. The task of capturing the ruins of the city will be handed over to the infantry. In short, our armored units do not enter the city .”

Before he finished speaking, the voice of the messenger suddenly came from outside the door: "Commander-in-Chief, the messenger of Guo Taiqi, the ambassador of the Chinese Consulate in Baghdad, is here. He is outside now. He has brought a message from Major Du Yuming. Request to report to the Commander-in-Chief immediately."

"Okay! Let him in!" Feng Yuxiang glanced at everyone present and said slowly.

Soon a civilian-looking person came to the conference room, he took off his hat, and said respectfully: "I am Du Lan, the third secretary of the Imperial Consulate in Baghdad, and I am Ambassador Guo Taiqi and Major Du Yuming. Order to report the situation to the commander-in-chief. Major Du Yuming and his squad entered Baghdad at 5:26 a.m. on May 6, and joined us at the consulate at 40:17."

"That's all?" After listening to the other party's words, Feng Yuxiang was stunned for a while, and then continued to say: "Is there any more? How is the situation in Baghdad now? Also, why didn't Du Yuming send me a telegram to report their current situation?"

"I came out at 17:20. I don't know what happened afterwards, but I know that Major Du Yuming is currently discussing surrender with people from the Baghdad city government. I don't know the result of the discussion. As for the communication The problem of communication..." At this point he paused, and then said: "It's because our radio station is broken, and we can only receive but not send, so Major Du Yuming sent me as a special envoy to report the situation to the commander-in-chief."

After hearing what the messenger said, everyone here finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although they still don't know whether the Baghdad government has surrendered, there are two things that are certain.The first point is that Du Yuming and his men really entered Baghdad. Everyone is safe and sound, and they have already occupied the Iraqi Ministry of Defense.The second point is that this incident shows that the defense forces in the Baghdad area are very weak.They should have no power to stop the advance of the dragon army.As for whether there will be any traps, it seems unlikely now.

Feng Yuxiang's heart that had been in suspense slowly eased. There was no longer any suspense in taking Baghdad.

On May 1916, 5, the Dragon Army began to advance towards Baghdad. The first to enter was the 30st Power Search Battalion of the Armed 41nd Panzergrenadier Division belonging to the [-]st Motorized Army.Their task is to scout the situation in Baghdad, counterattack on the spot if they encounter resistance, and then call the air force.When they entered Baghdad cautiously, what greeted them was neither bullets flying in the sky nor shells roaring.It was wine, flatbread, and young girls with dark hair and blue eyes.

The name Du Yuming also appeared in the battle report of the Western Expeditionary Army that day. This was the first time that the name of a school-level officer appeared in the highest battle report of the Western Expeditionary Army. The officers of the Western Expedition Army for a long time, now almost everyone believes that this young guy has won the entire Baghdad by himself. Of course, there are still some people who do not believe this fact, including the army Some high-level military officials, such as Zhang Zuolin, the deputy chief of the general staff of the Ministry of Army, believed that it was absolutely impossible to win a capital with only 11 people, and it was even possible that this was deliberately done by Feng Yuxiang and his staff in order to expand their military exploits. False, its purpose is to maximize the promotion of the powerful combat effectiveness of the Western Expeditionary Army.Therefore, Zhang Zuolin immediately found Xu Shichang and asked his boss to immediately set up an investigation team to investigate Du Yuming's occupation of Baghdad.He thought it might be that Feng Yuxiang was lying about the military situation, and if that was the case, it must be dealt with seriously.

The Will of the Empire Chapter 848 The Pride of the Empire

Faced with Zhang Zuolin's doubts about this matter, Xu Shichang also expressed his understanding.He decided to set up an investigation team to investigate whether the young major really captured Baghdad with ten men.However, when he chose the leader of the investigation team, he surprised everyone, because the leader he chose was none other than Chen Jitang, the commander of the Armored Corps of the Western Expeditionary Army.Xu Shichang's reason is very simple, that is, the battle situation is urgent now.It would be too late to send someone from the Ministry of War, and it would be a waste of time.It is best for the local commanders to directly participate in the training, not to mention that Chen Jitang is Du Yuming's direct superior, and he has the ability to solve this problem satisfactorily.

After receiving the order, Chen Jitang immediately led people into Baghdad, looking for the legendary superman who took Baghdad with his three-inch tongue.However, what surprised Chen Jitang and the others was that when they arrived at the superman's temporary headquarters, they were told that Du Yuming had gone out on business, and they didn't know where he had gone.

Chen Jitang spent a lot of effort, mobilizing almost all the patrols and search teams, and finally found Du Yuming's whereabouts. Soon they found the young major in the most famous garden hotel in Iraq. The Conqueror of Baghdad was sleeping on the bellies of some Persian women with big breasts and wide hips.

"Du Yuming! What are you doing? What are you doing, kid?"

"Report to the commander." Du Yuming gave a military salute, and replied slowly: "Because my mission has been completed, I must relax, so..."

"Bah! Look at what you look like now. As an imperial officer, you openly go shopping in the enemy's capital, and drink too much. In addition, your military appearance is not neat. Do you know that you have violated the military regulations of the Western Expeditionary Army? You know you How much panic has caused us by the unauthorized actions? Do you know how many scapegoats my commander has taken on for you? You bastard, didn’t I tell you? Your mission is to reconnaissance, reconnaissance of the terrain in the Baghdad area, and find You can forcefully cross the bridgehead of the Tigris River, what have you done? You boy, you are too courageous!" Chen Jitang scolded his subordinates loudly.

But before he finished speaking, Feng Yuxiang who was standing behind him interrupted him, "Du Yuming?" Feng Yuxiang watched Du Yuming calmly for a long time without showing any sign of anger.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I am Du Yuming!" Du Yuming, who was still lazy just now, immediately went uncharacteristically. He quickly straightened his body, stood at attention, and respectfully saluted his boss.

"Very good! Very good. Not long ago you killed an armored brigade of the French with three tanks, and this time you occupied Baghdad with a force of a dozen people..." Feng Yuxiang looked around Du Yuming for a while, and suddenly said He said: "Du Yuming, I have a question to ask you. When you entered Baghdad with ten of your men, were you afraid to be honest?"

"Commander-in-Chief, to tell you the truth, I was really scared at the time." Du Yuming scratched the back of his head and whispered.

"Oh? Since you are afraid, why do you still make such a bold move? Even if you give me ten guts, I can't do what you did. What do you think?" Feng Yuxiang smiled. looking at each other.

"Commander-in-Chief, that's what I think." Du Yuming said solemnly: "I had no choice when I encountered this situation. Since the other party has already handed over the city to me, what can I do? Could it be that I gave the city Give it back to the Iraqis?"

"Hahaha!" Feng Yuxiang burst out laughing suddenly, and then nodded heavily. "That's right. You are a lunatic and a warrior at the same time. I am very pleased with this. The achievements you have made are not easy. Not long ago, the Ministry of War made a report on the losses that the Dragon Army will suffer when it captures Baghdad Estimates, they estimate that we may have to pay the price of 12000 to 15000 casualties. So the civilian casualties may be 10 to 15 times that number. But because of your bold actions, many lives were saved. You, worthy of our Imperial soldiers Proud." At this point, Feng Yuxiang paused, and then said: "Major Du Yuming, thanks to your courage and bravery, the empire captured Baghdad, an extremely important city, and opened the way for the Western Expeditionary Army. In view of this, upon the appointment of His Majesty the Emperor, the Ministry of War decided to award you the first-class Golden Dragon Medal, and it was awarded by General Xu Shichang, the Minister of the Army. Generally speaking, only those who have won the third-class Golden Dragon Medal or above are awarded by Mr. Xu. It is an incomparable honor to present it personally. I am here to congratulate you!" At this point, he gave a military salute to the other party.

"Thank you! Thank you! Commander-in-Chief!" Du Yuming suddenly burst into tears after hearing the news. He cried like a child, a child who has not grown up.

Baghdad was captured, completely pushing Iraq into the abyss. On June 6, the Iraqi government in exile announced its unconditional surrender to the Western Expeditionary Army. After Iraqi President Qassem handed over his power to Regent Said by telegram, he began to go into exile in France.

The day before, the Dragon Army had captured the last remaining Iraqi city of resistance, Salman.According to statistics, in the Iraq War, the Dragon Army only suffered 2459 casualties, of which 376 were killed. Such a slight casualty is unprecedented in the history of world wars, although it cannot be said that it is unprecedented.And this war.From beginning to end, the operation of the Dragon Army was not so much a military war as a well-organized intimidation campaign, in which psychological warfare played a large role.But Feng Yuxiang was not prepared to celebrate the victory.Because there is a more difficult and more important war in full swing at the southern tip of the Middle East.

Beijing.After hearing the news that Iraq had been captured, Guan Xuqing looked up and laughed, and said to Xu Shichang: "Bu Wu, what did you say was the name of the officer who occupied Baghdad just now?"

"Back to the emperor, my name is Du Yuming."

Guan Xuqing's eyes flickered, and he smiled slightly: "I have heard of this man, he is really a military genius, among other things, the tank battle and the two battles to capture Baghdad are enough to prove This person has courage and certainty, and is a rare talent."

"Yes." Xu Shichang nodded and said: "I have ordered people to verify these two things. It is indeed true. In the tank battle, Du Yuming became famous and won the second-level Golden Dragon Medal. This time he captured Baghdad. Du Yuming has made outstanding achievements, so I would like to ask the emperor, can I award the first-class Golden Dragon Medal?"

Guan Xuqing nodded and said in a very affirmative tone: "I will award it, of course it will be awarded. The Golden Dragon Medal is specially awarded to officers and soldiers of the army. Your Ministry of the Army has the right to decide. Besides, Du Yuming has made such a great contribution. Why don't you reward everyone?" How can it be done. Not only should the first-class Golden Dragon Medal be awarded, but Du Yuming's deeds should also be reported in the military newspapers."

"twitter."

"Your Majesty," said Feng Xianghua, who was mature and prudent, "the Iraq war is coming to an end. What is our goal next? Cai E, Chiang Kai-shek, Wei Lihuang, Wang Shuchang and other generals have called the Ministry of the Army, hoping that the Emperor can give them a chance to kill them." The opportunity for the enemy to do meritorious service cannot be taken by Feng Yuxiang alone, and Jiang Baili has also recovered from his illness, and he goes to the Ministry of the Army all day long to ask me to issue a letter of commission, look..." Xu Shichang showed a helpless look.
