After the war, the Qing army stationed in Novosibirsk to rest and recuperate.
There is open farmland here, and there are still a lot of potatoes in the ground that have not yet been dug.
Doshan suggested resting here for two months and storing more mashed potato products in preparation for the two-month expedition.
At the same time, the surrendered Tsarist Russian soldiers were merged with the Baikal Brigade and reorganized into the 1st Brigade of the Qing Dynasty Mixed Brigade.
Dushan readjusted the military system.
Mainly the optimization of the Guards Division Artillery Brigade.
During the two battles, Doshan discovered that the artillery brigade was too bloated.
In other words, the artillery models are not uniform and the calibers vary greatly, which puts a lot of pressure on logistics.
In combat, although the artillery brigade's bombardment was unstoppable, it was extremely slow in dispatching.
Every time after the Qing army invaded the enemy's position, the rear artillery had numerous systems and complicated transportation, making it difficult to realize multiple requests for artillery support from the front.
If the standard and caliber of artillery can be unified, artillery officers will have the confidence to coordinate infantry and artillery, making the Qing army's offensive more intense.
Therefore, after the adjustment, the Guards Division Artillery Brigade retained 32 80mm light field guns, 16 110mm caliber redcoat cannons and 4 130mm caliber redcoat cannons.
The devil knows why they are both red cannons, but have two calibers.
However, compared with other strange artillery, these two red cannons can be regarded as mass-produced types, with a unified format and easy to use.
Moreover, the red cannon is also a super-heavy cannon (the 32-pounder has a caliber of 94 mm, which is already a super-heavy cannon) and has powerful firepower.
It is even easy to deal with city walls that are tens of centimeters thick and common in Europe.
You know, European castles look beautiful, but in fact the walls are too thin and there is no large brick and mud structure to absorb kinetic energy.
For example, although the outer city wall of Constantinople is 12 meters high, it is only 4 meters thick.
Walls of this thickness were historically broken open by Urban cannons.
Although the caliber of the red cannon is much smaller than that of the Urban cannon, the walls of Constantinople are not filled with clay and cannot absorb the kinetic energy of the cannonballs, and can be defeated by a few more shots.
Therefore, the Guards Division Artillery Brigade did not suffer a decline in combat effectiveness due to the elimination of a large number of artillery pieces.
On the contrary, due to convenient command and unified dispatch, fire suppression can be formed more quickly during artillery battles.
As for the artillery moved out of the Guards Division Artillery Brigade, most of it was strengthened to the mixed brigade as the artillery regiment of the mixed brigade.
Finally, Duoshan selected some lightweight guns from a small number of small-caliber guns to join the battle order of the Dragoon Brigade.
Although the Dragoon Brigade is a unit that rides on horseback, shoots on target, and charges at the right time.
However, Duoshan wanted to try a new tactic, using dragoons to carry a certain number of small-caliber light artillery to quickly maneuver to the enemy's side and then bombard them during the battle.
This tactic was inspired by the camel gun, but it was more maneuverable than the camel gun.
Presumably there will be good results.
What Dushan didn't know was that this tactic was used in the Third Anti-French War a few years later in history. Napoleon's artillery tried mobile artillery on the battlefield for the first time to cut off the enemy's retreat, and achieved quite good results.

800 miles expedited!
No, it’s 8,000 miles expedited!
The battle in Novosibirsk was sent to the European continent by the knights of Tsarist Russia who traveled day and night.
Knights replaced horses at various inns, or forced good horses from some herdsmen in the Eastern European plains. Horsemen spread the news to various places without stopping.
The Scourge of God is back!
In other words, the Ming Dynasty Taishang Laojun's whip, the Great Qing Whip, was drawn down on Tsarist Russia.
From Novosibirsk to the west, countries along the way are in panic.
Especially the various stans and khanates bordering Junggar were so scared that they peed.
Lutros's eastward campaign against the Qing Dynasty failed, and the remnants of his army retreated to Junggar.
The army was defeated, and the Junggar Khanate, a country that had finally reunited, fell into turmoil.
In order to stabilize people's hearts, Lutros urgently needed a victory and brutal plunder to make up for the losses of the Dzunggar Khanate.
The Qing Dynasty could not defeat it, and now that the Ming Dynasty had regained Peiping, it was even more impossible to defeat it.
As a last resort, Lutros turned his attention to the countries in the Western Region and to Western Europe.
I can't defeat the Qing Dynasty, I can't defeat the Ming Dynasty, so I can't defeat you?
The Ming Dynasty Taishang Laojun's whip of Junggar (not yet ashore) began to turn its guns and penetrated into the land of its former neighbor.
It doesn't matter if you don't fight. After a fight, Lutros discovered, why is the opponent so good?
Luteros has 8,000 dragoons, a scale that is rare on the planet at this time.
Not to mention, the geographical environment of the countries in the Western Region is very suitable for galloping.
It’s not just the Qing Dynasty and Junggar.
In Indochina, in Myanmar.
The peasant uprising army of the White Lotus Theocracy is violently beating Meng Yun's Burmese army, and the two sides are fighting in Cursed Water.
Although Zhang Zhengmo's peasant army has poor weapons, many of them only have hoes.
But the Burmese army is even worse.
The bad here does not mean that the Myanmar military has poor weapons.
On the contrary, Myanmar was colonized by the British Empire. The two sides have been trading for so many years, and the firearms equipment rate of the Myanmar army is not low.
The musketry team directly under Meng Yun has more than 2,000 people.
Coupled with the total of 260,000 King Qin's troops from all over Myanmar and the 90,000 troops of the White Lotus Theocracy, it can be said that I have the advantage.
But the problem lies with the White Lotus Sect.
The peasant uprising army may be poorly equipped, but the White Lotus Sect and the Qing Dynasty have been fighting in Sichuan for many years, and they have a large number of veterans.
Moreover, Myanmar is mountainous and densely forested.
The peasant rebels who had been hiding in Kawachi for several years felt like going home when they entered Myanmar.
Zhang Zhengmo, Yao Zhifu, Xu Tiande and others each led a main force and scattered it in the mountains and forests around Cursed Water.
The sixteen-character mantra that Yao Zhifu gave to Zhang Zhengmo was taken to the extreme.
When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.
An army of 90,000 people forcefully played the role of an army of 900,000 people.
The Burmese people only feel that there are enemies everywhere, the main force is everywhere, and there is news of defeat everywhere.
In the early days, Zhang Zhengmo avoided the main Burmese force and focused on finding small groups of enemies to beat up.
The peasant army also seized a large number of weapons in hundreds of small battles and replaced their hoes with long knives.
In the mid-term, Zhang Zhengmo concentrated his main force several times and swallowed up several King Qin troops in local battlefields.
The peasant army also exchanged long knives for muskets.
When it came to the decisive battle of Cursed Water, the White Lotus Theocracy's army had already replaced their guns with cannons.
Yao Zhifu cobbled together a 300-man dragoon unit and captured the Burmese artillery transport unit in an organized manner on the battlefield behind enemy lines.
These 60 artillery pieces, purchased from the British Empire's Bangladesh colony, were taken over by the White Lotus Theocracy as soon as they entered the Cursed Water War Zone.
The situation on both sides reversed, and the offense and defense changed.
The whip of the Ming Taishang Laojun, the White Lotus Sect's split whip, as the worst-armed whip, still insists on implementing the will of the Ming Emperor.
Burma was so whipped that his legs were amputated below the head.
Meng Yun's remaining 200,000 troops were surrounded by Zhang Zhengmo's 80,000 troops on the south bank of the Curse River.
