Yu'er suddenly realized and said: "Oh, that's really disrespectful, No.1 in the world, why does one come out in hundreds of years?"

Hu Shi froze for a moment, then said, "Three years."

"One in three years?" Yu'er sighed, "I thought it was Confucius, Meng, and the current emperor, and one would come out in 500 years. One would come out in three years, which is less than an old sow's cubs." That's all."

Zhang Taiyan next to him couldn't straighten up from laughing.

Hu Shi smiled wryly and said: "How can you say that, the Golden Palace examination, the emperor's banquet, the city of Beijing boasting officials and parading through the streets, coming out of the main gate of Tiananmen, even princes and ministers do not have this honor!"

Zhang Taiyan couldn't help but frowned when he saw how the opponent was beating him, and suddenly said: "Hu Shi, you have committed the crime of beheading!"

"what?"

"I just read "China Daily." Zhang Taiyan saw that Hu Shi's whole body trembled when he said this, and knew that this trick really worked, so he said coldly: "You cleared up the examiner and bought the test paper secretly. Beijing Suzheng History Book Impeachment, the emperor is furious, has already sent the impeachment papers of Su Zhengshi to the Ministry of Justice, Mr. Liu Guangdi is the presiding judge, and Prince Zaixun is in prison. You will be beheaded in a short time. At this level, do you still dare to put on the airs of the number one scholar here?"

Before he finished speaking, Hu Shi's face was ashen.Zhang Taiyan walked over and shook him, but Hu Shi was unconscious, Zhang Taiyan was startled, and thought that he would scare a number one scholar to death, what should he do in the future?

Yu'er stood aside, seeing Zhang Taiyan flustered, she came over to have a look, blamed him and said: "Without that diamond, why are you doing this porcelain work? Whether he is crazy or not, it's up to you what he is. Mind your own business!" As he spoke, he pinched Hu Shi's people with his middle finger, and Hu Shi woke up with a cry of "Oops".

"What's wrong with me? How did I get here?" Hu Shi blinked, his eyes were no longer straight, and his body seemed to tremble.He has completely recovered his sanity, he just stared blankly at Zhang Taiyan, and after a while he smiled and said: "Drink...drink too much, drunk..."

Yu'er pushed the tea bowl to his hand, and said, "You have drunk too much ecstasy soup. If you ask me, you might as well be drunk. Once you wake up, you won't be No. 1 in the world."

Just then, I saw a few people from the east driving by in a car, and a man who looked like a butler shouted from a distance: "Master Hu, the No. [-] master is waiting there, why are you here and this kind of person?" People talk."

Hu Shi hurriedly got up, bowed his hands to Zhang Taiyan, and said, "Brother Zhang, I'm sorry, come to my house some other day and have a good talk." Then he walked away with those people full of shame.

Zhang Taiyan shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself: "Three days ago, we had no scruples when talking together, but now he has won the first prize in the exam, but he is an ordinary accountant. Separated."

Mosul, northern Iraq.

"Run, run! Don't be a fucking bitch!" Du Yuming yelled loudly at the recruits who were training.

Du Yuming, who became famous in the first battle in the Iraq War, has now been promoted to a division commander, and has a golden rank of major general on his shoulders, but every time he faces these recruits, he always thinks of his proud Lightning Troops.

To say that among all the troops of the Western Expeditionary Army, Du Yuming always believed that his Lightning Troop was the most capable of fighting. It killed the enemy on the Iraqi battlefield and swept the entire north-central region of Iraq. It was so majestic at that time.Fortunately, the cat is here to train some recruits, watching other troops attack the French and wipe out the remaining enemies in Iraq.

"Du Yuming, are you swearing again?" A calm and calm voice sounded from behind.

Du Yuming was terrified, don't look, the person he fears the most is coming, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Western Expeditionary Army, Feng Yuxiang, the youngest marshal of the empire!

For Feng Yuxiang, Du Yuming, who is not afraid of anything, always has a sense of fear for no reason. If Feng Yuxiang's official title is higher than his own, it is true that there are not many superiors who can be regarded by him with awe.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief!" Du Yuming hurriedly turned his head and gave a respectful military salute: "These recruits are too stupid, they can't learn it no matter how much they teach, and they won't understand without scolding a few words."

Feng Yuxiang snorted coldly: "You Master Du is now very powerful, and everyone is a recruit in your eyes. Believe it or not, I will withdraw you directly!"

Knowing that the commander-in-chief was joking, Du Yuming stuck out his tongue, quickly changed the subject and said, "Why is the commander-in-chief here free today?"

Feng Yuxiang said with a cold face: "Recently, I have received more and more complaints about you, beating and scolding recruits, conniving subordinates and brother troops to fight, so I didn't take time to take care of you, you are getting more and more tempered now Yes. Your army won’t suffer a bit, right? A little lieutenant who dares to beat another major really wants to rebel against you!"

The Will of the Empire Chapter 869

Seeing that the commander-in-chief was angry, Du Yuming said hastily: "Commander-in-chief, you have wronged me. I, Du Yuming, know you best. I never fight for no reason. In fact, more than half of them were started by those boys. "

"I can't control you anymore." Feng Yuxiang walked towards Du Yuming's division headquarters without looking at him, and said as he walked, "Take your lawless troops and go to Turkey for me in half a month, so I don't need to look at them." Up to your annoyance!"

Du Yuming was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized that he jumped up and down happily.

"Is it going to start so soon, Commander-in-Chief?" Du Yuming trotted up to the division headquarters, and asked with a smile on his face: "I say our Commander-in-Chief is interesting enough, he is the first one who thinks of my surname when there is a mission. Du's."

Feng Yuxiang glared at the commander who didn't look like a senior officer, and said, "Who said you're going to do something? The main reason for your troops to go to Turkey is to get familiar with the terrain and climate there, but let me tell you, you have to call me every day." Keep up your spirits, you will receive orders to march anytime and anywhere. Also, any conflict with the officers and soldiers of the 21st Division is strictly prohibited, or I will take the skin of you, Du Yuming!"

Du Yuming put away his hippie smile: "Don't worry, I admire the personality of the 21st division commander. No matter how hard it is for your face, I will just bear it and I won't embarrass you."

Feng Yuxiang looked at the map and said: "The Ministry of the Army has put all four tank divisions under the name of the Western Expeditionary Army. It can be seen that the empire is determined this time. Either it will not fight, or it will be a big battle. Four tanks All the divisions have been trained in actual combat, and they have great potential. Modern warfare is no longer won by numbers, and a highly mechanized force will be a decisive force. Du Yuming, this time I will transfer you 200 trucks and corresponding supporting facilities. I hope your division can become a highly mobile unit. In addition, I would like to tell you a good news. The Ministry of the Army has sent a message, agreeing that you will merge the Lightning Troop you originally led into the current 17th Division to form a division-level organization. Lightning Troopers, you got lucky this time, kid."

Hearing the news, Du Yuming patted his ass happily, seeing the commander-in-chief's face darken, he immediately restrained his smile, and fought well.

"You kid, don't get complacent too early. Let me tell you that the Ministry of the Army has issued a decree that this battle is determined to be won. It can only be won but not defeated. I, Feng Yuxiang, have signed a military order to the Ministry of the Army. The next step is up to you. If you are defeated, Let's not go back to China, just jump into the Aegean Sea together and die."

"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the mission and never let the commander-in-chief down!" After receiving the order, Du Yuming did not delay for a minute. His 1th Mechanized Division set off to Turkey at the fastest speed, and fought in the future European expedition The 17th Mechanized Division also became the first army to enter Europe. When the 17th Mechanized Division set off, it happened to be the traditional Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival. At this time, all parts of China were not affected by the war at all, but immersed in the joy of the festival.

"The British are doing it." Guan Xuqing was eating snacks with his concubines. Xu Shichang handed over a sign to beg to see him. Guan Xuqing left Yuanmingyuan Qiongdao Chunyin, and Xu Shichang came to a pavilion to talk. As soon as they entered the pavilion, Xu Shichang whispered.

Guan Xuqing was startled, frowning and listening to Xu Shichang's report in detail.After receiving a warning from China that the British and French coalition forces would attack the Dardanelles, the Turkish military command stepped up its alert and defense work on the Dardanelles.

They transferred the troops of the 1st and 2nd armies of the Ottoman Empire from the Bosphorus area to the Dardanelles area, increasing the number of 150-355 mm artillery pieces of the fortress artillery and shore artillery company from 175 to 199 gates and 10 barriers with a total of 375 mines were installed to strengthen the coastal defense of the strait.On both sides of the entrance of the Dardanelles, 26 artillery pieces of the peripheral artillery company were deployed, followed by 85 artillery pieces of the middle artillery battery, and 88 artillery pieces of the internal defense artillery battery were deployed in the Chanakkale area.The troops of the 1rd Army of the 3st Army, commanded by Admiral Fenerbahce, were deployed on the fortified positions on the north bank of the Dardanelles, and the 15th Army of the Army, commanded by Li Xianzhou, the heroic division commander of the Chinese attack field, was deployed on the south bank. Army troops.

In fact, in November last year, Carden's Aegean Squadron bombarded the fortress at the entrance according to Churchill's order.The purpose of this hostilities, which no one has satisfactorily explained, has prompted the Ottomans to fortify their defenses.

The intelligence provided by the Chinese more accurately explained the specific troops and attack routes of the British and French coalition forces.This also surprised the Ottoman Empire. It is simply a miracle where the Chinese got such accurate information.

The attack on the Dardanelles by the British and French navies began on the morning of September 9, 19.British Admiral Cardon set off from Tenidos anchorage on the battlecruiser "Strong". His fleet assembled a total of 11 battleships, 1 battlecruiser and light cruiser in Mudros Bay, Lemnos 4 ships, 11 destroyers, 7 submarines, and 1 aircraft carrier.At the entrance of the Dardanelles, where they were about to reach, there were two forts on the far shore ahead to the left, flanked by Cape Helles and the nearby village of Sedir Bashir.Behind these fortifications are the highlands of the Gallipoli Peninsula, and in front of the fleet to the right, there are 2 more forts near the village of Kumkale on the Asian side of the coast.

On 9 September Admiral Cardon's fleet began bombarding the Dardanelles' outer batteries.

Due to the strong fire counterattack by the defenders of the Ottoman Empire, the six-hour bombardment of the British and French fleets had little effect, and the subsequent artillery assaults were also ineffective.In order to achieve the ultimate strategic goal, the Allied forces put all the forces of the combined fleet assembled in the Dardanelles into the battle.

"According to the battle report sent by Fenerbahce." Xu Shichang reported: "Although the British and French joint fleet's artillery fire was fierce, but because the Ottoman Empire was fully prepared and the artillery counterattacked sharply, the British and French joint fleet did not take any advantage. Under the suggestion of the military officer, the "German-Turkish Joint Command" has now been upgraded to the "China-Germany-Turkish Tripartite Joint Command". Landings were carried out at Kumkale Point and Saros Bay."

Guan Xuqing listened and said: "Tell Li Xianzhou that Sedir Bashir is also the main landing site of the British and French coalition forces, let him focus on this, and provide military aid of 500 million dragon coins to the Ottoman Empire. "

Xu Shichang was stunned for a moment, wondering why the emperor was so sure that the British and French allied forces would land in Sedir Bashir instead of other places: "Yes, I will notify you right away, but I am also very strange, the British Why did the fleet bombard the entrance of the Dardanelles in November last year?"

"Maybe the British are too self-righteous, maybe the British don't take the Ottoman Empire too seriously." Guan Xuqing smiled: "Who knows what they think, let's go, let's eat first, and we can eat when the sky falls." Gotta eat."

The development of the war was the same as Guan Xuqing expected.When the British and French combined fleet did not succeed in the previous attack, Admiral Carden was replaced by Admiral Drogbeck, and they tried again to break into the Dardanelles, but they were still unsuccessful.Therefore, it was decided to abandon the plan of simply using the navy to fight, and to implement a joint army-navy campaign. The landing force seized the fortifications in the Gallipoli Peninsula and the Dardanelles to ensure that the fleet entered the Sea of ​​Marmara, and then Assault from land and sea to capture Constantinople.The preparations for the British and French Expeditionary Force’s departure to the landing area in Alexandria were exposed and progressed slowly, which enabled the joint command of China, Germany and Turkey to ascertain the intention of the campaign and took measures to strengthen the defense of the Dardanelles area.

On September 9, a coalition force consisting of 25 people and 81000 artillery pieces, under the command of British Admiral Hamilton, began to land at Sedir Bashir at the southern tip of the Gallipoli Peninsula.

The 81000 British and French allied forces attacked Sedir Bashir with the main force, and concentrated their forces to attack Cape Kabatepe. Cape Kumkale and Saros Bay were feigned forces arranged by the British and French allied forces.The Ottoman Empire, which had learned about the dynamics of the British from the Chinese, defended Sedir Bashir with 6 divisions. Among them, Alburnu and Anafarta were at the forefront of the position. The 18th and 19th divisions of the Ottoman Empire led by Li Xianzhou, a Chinese officer.

Whether it is Turkey's General Fenerbahce or Mehmet V, or his brother Mahmoud, they all have great hopes for Chinese military officers.They admired the bravery of the Chinese army and the calm and resolute command of the Chinese officers, especially the lieutenant general named Li Xianzhou, who gave the Turks great hope for him.

But the arrangement of the Chinese military officers made them fall through the eyes. Li Xianzhou actually gave up all the outlying positions and concentrated his forces on a few places where the British might land. I can't figure it out, are the Chinese crazy, they are not afraid of being surrounded by the British and French allied forces from the flanks?

"Your Excellency, my troops have arrived at the designated location, and we will wait for the enemy's attack." A young Turkish officer in his 30s said in a loud voice.

Li Xianzhou, who was buried in the combat map, raised his head. He knew this person, and this person was Colonel Mustafa, a young Turkish military officer whom the emperor paid close attention to in the call.

"Well, I got it." Li Xianzhou said lightly: "Your task is to stick to Alburnu for three to four days and not retreat a single step. Otherwise, I will personally tie you up in front of Muhammad V."

"Yes, General." Kemal said loudly.Kemal answered loudly, but he actually didn't think highly of Chinese officers in his heart.Only a lunatic can think of voluntarily giving up the outer positions. According to his idea, he should defend the entire front and set up defenses every step of the way, causing a lot of damage to the enemy and causing the British and French allied forces to pay a heavy price for every step forward.He has every reason to be proud of his war concept. When he quit the "Young Turk Party" a few years ago to serve as a military instructor of the Third Army, he translated Chinese military books "Platoon Combat Practice" and "Company Combat Practice" Practice" these two books, and wrote a professional military book called "Tactics".
