Chapter 434 Entering Beijing (1)
Qin Zheng got off the warrior car and looked up at the familiar and unfamiliar tall city tower in front of him. He couldn't help but feel a lot. If Beijing is the heart of China, then this city is undoubtedly the heart of Beijing, at least in the old time and space. Its significance and value have even passed the later palace. In this era, the city does not have such a great symbolic meaning, it is just the main gate of the imperial city. Tianlai Novel
At this time, Qin Zheng also heard the guard soldiers beside him whispering: "There is the palace here!" "The emperor lives here." "Be good, now it's time to reach it, I have to blow it when I go back."
Qin Zheng is not unfamiliar with the ** City Tower. In the old time and space, he visited it many times and visited it several times. However, at that time, the palace inside the city gate was no longer the place where the emperor lived, but became the Palace Museum. It was just a place for people to visit, and at most it was to express his feelings about history. In this era, the center of Beijing was the palace behind rather than the city tower in front of him. In the minds of local warriors, the palace was still a place full of mystery and majesty. After all, although the emperor ran away, it still existed, so he also looked quite nervous and terrified at this time.
Qin Zheng smiled. His guards were all selected from the soldiers, so he was very clear about the psychological conditions of these soldiers. This emotion could not be eliminated in a short period of time.
Just the day after the People's Army occupied Beijing in full, Qin Zheng led a huge team of troops, administrative personnel, medical personnel and media personnel. He was born in Tianjin by train. He arrived in Beijing in the afternoon of the same day and brought two warrior cars.
This time, the army that came to Beijing with Qin Zheng had two regiments, the Sixth Regiment and the Ninth Regiment. Among them, the Ninth Regiment was a new regiment just formed by the People's Army. Strictly speaking, the soldiers of this regiment were basically new recruits who were undergoing trial training, but they had not passed the qualification assessment for enlistment. It was only because the People's Army's strength is now tight that these trial training soldiers were organized into a regiment and sent to Beijing. While assisting other troops in managing Beijing, they continued to train recruits in Beijing. After all, Beijing has now concentrated the elite of the People's Army. The main task of the Ninth Regiment in Beijing is to maintain order in Beijing, but they do not need to participate in the battle. In fact, only officers at the platoon level and above are equipped with weapons, while the other soldiers each have only a wooden simulated rifle and a bayonet.
First, it is just to maintain order, and there is no need to use weapons; second, the People's Army currently has only enough weapons to equip 6 regiments, and there is only one regiment, the Second regiment is equipped with artillery battalions; there is only one regiment, the Second regiment, and the Fifth regiment are equipped with fire support battalions. The other three regiments only equip soldiers with rifles.
The weapons used by the People's Army are basically seized from the previous battles, and a total of about 20,000 rifles have been seized. However, the varieties of guns are very chaotic, with as many as nine types. There are only four types that can be guaranteed to be equipped with a regiment, including the German Mauser 98 rifle, the Japanese 3O Murata rifle, the Russian Mosinnagan 1891 rifle and the Hanyang-made 88 rifle. The rest can only be used for training guns.
Since the Trip Travel Group now has a Qingdao Arsenal, it can produce Mauser 98 rifles and bullets, so the army equipped with this type of rifle is the largest, with three regiments in total, while the 3O Murata Rifle, Mosinnagan 1891 rifle, and Hanyang-made 88 rifle are each equipped with one regiment. However, the Trip Travel Group does not have the ability to produce these three rifles and bullets, so it cannot be assembled too much, and a part must be left as accessories. This time, the People's Army seized a lot of 3O Murata Rifle and Mosinnagan 1891 rifle, but there are not many bullets seized, so it still cannot be assembled more troops, and at most it can only be used for training purposes for the Ninth Regiment. At present, the output of Qingdao Arsenal is very high, and it cannot be produced in large quantities, so that the entire army can use German rifles uniformly.
Since its establishment, the Cavalry Company has been training in Tianjin. The cavalry training base on Shandong Yangma Island is still under construction. After more than two months of training, the cavalry company basically has a certain combat capability, and the war horses have been restored to 7 or 8 points. Therefore, after soliciting the opinions of the cavalry company commander Cheng Yajie and Zhao Lijun, the Military Commission decided to join the cavalry company to the troops entering Beijing. After all, in this era, the cavalry still has an irreplaceable role in reconnaissance, raids, and transmission of messages. Moreover, the People's Army cannot always rely on drone battlefield reconnaissance, which also adds some practical experience to the cavalry company. In addition, the People's Army has seized a large number of war horse livestock in Beijing, which can be handed over to the cavalry company for management.
In terms of management team, Li Songchen is led by the team. There are more than 3 travelers accompanying them, including all the leadership teams of the Tianjin Administrative Region that Li Songchen has determined, as well as more than 5 local personnel. Most of this group of people are the local prisoners rescued by the travelers when they first arrived ashore. They have followed the travel group for the longest time, are basically politically reliable, and are also the personnel trained by the travel group. In the future, they will take over the administrative affairs and daily management of Beijing, so that the army can free up their hands to deal with the Russian army's southward attack. At the same time, they will accumulate experience in urban management. In the future, administrative personnel in Tianjin and Qingdao will be selected from these people.
Of course, the employment of the Time Travel Group does not only look at whether the politics is reliable, but also pays attention to ability. Therefore, the development of these local personnel in the future depends on their own efforts. The Time Travel Group will give them enough opportunities. This time, bringing them to Beijing is to provide them with a platform for performance. In fact, not only local people, but also time travelers are the same. Time Travelers who do not have the ability will not have a place in the future time travel group.
Although there is a medical team in Beijing now and has begun to form a position hospital, the number of people is not large, with only more than 20 people, of which there are only 6 travelers, and they can only be responsible for the treatment of the army. This time the medical team coming to Beijing was a huge team of more than 70 people, with as many as 17 travelers. The team leader was Qin Zheng's wife Zhou Ping, and Qin Zheng's daughter Zhou Weiying also came with the team. In addition, Luo Yue had arrived in Beijing first. Therefore, before leaving, Xia Bohai and Xiao Jianjun both laughed and said that this trip to Beijing was a public-funded trip to Qin Zheng's family of four.
In fact, Zhou Ping is one of the main leaders of the traditional Chinese medicine staff of the entire Time Travel Group. She is not only of high-level, experienced, and also has very skilled medical skills. If it weren't for her being Qin Zheng's wife, she would probably have served as the Minister of the Ministry of Health. This time, the medical staff who came to Beijing not only faced the army, but also faced the residents of Beijing. This is one of the means to appease the people and win the hearts of the people, so only Zhou Ping is qualified to lead the team. Zhou Weiying is also the backbone of the medical staff of the Time Travel Group. At the same time, she also serves as a teaching and training medical staff. Among the local medical staff who came to Beijing this time, more than 20 of them were students she led. This time, they also allowed them to accumulate clinical experience and strive to work independently as soon as possible.
Media personnel are the least of the group that visited Beijing this time, with only 6 people, but the weight of this group is not low at all, because in less than a month, the [New China News] traveled by Time Travelers had reached 25oo pieces. In this era, this volume is a very amazing number. Only a few large newspapers have such volume, while most newspapers only have a few hundred pieces.
The main reason for the volume of [New China News] can reach 25oo in a short period of time is that it is in Shanghai. It turns out that the Shanghai negotiations were the most broken, but the Time Travel Group still set up an office in Shanghai and has a foothold in Shanghai. However, Jiang Huanwu, the editor-in-chief of [New China News], had an idea at this time, to use Shanghai's foothold to take [New China News] to Shanghai. So he immediately applied to the Executive Committee.
Jiang Huanwu's suggestion is in line with the Executive Committee's plan, because during the Shanghai negotiations, the Time Traveler successfully had a huge impact in Shanghai. Now that the Shanghai negotiations have broken down, the Time Traveler still needs to continue to expand its influence in Shanghai, and the newspaper is undoubtedly one of the best equipment and furniture.
So the Executive Committee immediately approved Jiang Huanwu's suggestion. At this time, the People's Army launched a Beijing strategy and occupied Tongzhou Railway Station in the first battle. This was undoubtedly a major news. With the influence of this news, the first 300 copies of the [New China News] officially launched in Shanghai were sold out in less than two hours.
In addition to the news effect of the People's Army occupying Tongzhou Railway Station, there is also the aftermath of the sensation caused by overseas Chinese in Shanghai that has not dissipated. More importantly, this is a newspaper founded by overseas Chinese. People from all generations in Shanghai hope to learn more about the situation of overseas Chinese through this newspaper. In addition, the content form of the [New China News] is quite different from that of the newspapers of this era, but it is readable and has stronger news effectiveness. Shanghai is the most open and fashionable area in China in this era. With the combination of these factors, it is not surprising that the [New China News] sells well in Shanghai.
Seeing that the sales of [New China News] are so popular, Jiang Huanwu was also very happy because the more vigorous the sales of [New China News], the more stable his position in the time travel group and the greater the say. So Jiang Huanwu immediately decided to increase the second [New China News] of Shanghai to 6oo, but he still bought it in a short period of time.
As the People's Army attacked Beijing, this is obviously a big selling point that has more news effects than capturing Tongzhou Railway Station. Of course, Jiang Huanwu is very confident in the result of this battle, believing that the People's Army will definitely be able to capture Beijing, and he should make full use of this opportunity to push the [New China News] to a new level. Because [New China News] and the People's Army can be regarded as their own people, it is naturally easier to do things. Therefore, whether it is battlefield interviews, secret news reports, personal interviews, etc., [New China News] has the natural advantage of not being prepared by other newspapers.
