Chapter 196: What Happened Before
Ning Yu stood up, holding a long wooden stick in his hand, pointing to the sand table in front of him, feeling a little high-spirited in his heart, this time he could be regarded as pressing all his belongings.
Li Fu has been busy with the government affairs of the Governor's Mansion recently, including the management of logistics grain and grass, as well as the training of new officials.
"A few days ago, the King of Chu sent another batch of guns and ammunition from Wuchang, but there are fewer artillery, only more than 30 guns, this is still the result of overtime, but the grain and grass are enough, and there is no need to worry too much."
Ning Yu nodded, this rebellion is really not easy, not to mention the danger is not dangerous, at least it makes people not idle, not to mention Li Fu, even Ning Yu has never slept a few good nights, running around every day, when he was inspecting Yunyang Mansion, and later inspecting the entire Wuchang area, he never rested in Jiujiang for half a day.
Cheng Ming, as the older general among the people, was more or less cautious in his personality, he pointed at Anqing City with a wooden stick, and his tone was a little dignified: "Now Kangxi's 100,000 army is still in the Tongcheng area, and it will take at least five days from Anqing, can our army take Anqing first?" To prevent internal and external pinching? ”
When everyone heard this opinion, they all agreed, because this point is also very important, at least don't worry about Yue Zhongqi's 20,000 people watching from the side when fighting Kangxi, this feeling is quite bad.
As for 45,000 people against 120,000 people, everyone will not feel the pressure, since the place where the army started, which battle of the Fu Han army did not defeat the crowd with less? I have never seen any good performance of the Qing army, and this kind of self-confidence has been instilled in the hearts of everyone in the Fu Han army, at least no one will think that the Qing army can fight against the Fu Han army when the number of people is not much different.
Ning Yu nodded, but his thoughts were different, he glanced around at the generals, and said with a smile: "If my goal is only Anqing City, then I'm afraid we have already arrived here, and it is not a problem to take Anqing." However, I want everyone to think about it, is our purpose from the beginning really just Anqing? ”、
"Isn't it Kangxi?" Although Li Fu did not understand military affairs, he was quite able to understand Ning Yu's thoughts in this regard.
Ning Yu said with a smile: "I said, no matter how many casualties the Qing army has, even if the current 100,000 troops are gone, it doesn't matter much, the Qing court can still organize another 100,000 or even 200,000, but our army can still support it now, if the battle situation is prolonged for a long time, with the accumulation of our army, it will be difficult to compete with the entire Qing Dynasty." ”
"The current situation is that only by fighting quickly can our army get more benefits. If Kangxi can be killed on the battlefield, then no matter how this battle is fought, the Qing court has already lost more than half of it. ”
Li Fu also smiled, took over the conversation, and said to everyone: "Today's Qing court seems to be complete, but in fact, the internal rifts have reached a considerable level, and the number of large and small rifts is not clear, there are Manchu and Mongolian ministers and Han ministers, there are Manchu ministers and Mongolian ministers, there are Eight Banners and Green Camp, and there are also within the imperial family, the reason why the entire Qing Dynasty has not been divided is completely maintained by a force of inertia and one person, inertia is the iron crops from the Eight Banners, and one person is Kangxi." ”
"Speaking of the iron crops of the Eight Banners, they did not fall from the sky, they were scavenged from all over the world, and naturally included the rich Jiangnan and Huguang, these places actually determined how long the iron crops of the Qing court could eat, if there was no Jiangnan and Huguang, and there were no iron crops, it would not be so easy for the Qing court to bridge the internal division."
After all, Li Fu is a person who has been a big official in the Qing court, and he also knows a lot about the situation in the Qing court, at least in this regard, Ning Yu can't tell it so eloquently, and for a while, everyone can listen to it.
"Without the Eight Banners of iron crops, if there is no Emperor Kangxi, the entire Qing Dynasty will not be divided, at least not like it is now, and it can still lead the army to crusade against my Han army, and when the new monarch succeeds to the throne, no matter who it is, you must sort out the current situation, I am afraid that within three or five years, it will be difficult to use a big sword against my Han army."
Ning Yu nodded, and said in a condensed voice: "If there are these three or five years, even if it is only three years, our army can pacify the south, sort out the internal affairs, and then integrate the resources of the entire south, so as to gain an advantage over the Qing court, and then it will not be the Qing army that will hit my Huguang, but our army will swear to the Northern Expedition and restore our Han family!" ”
This strategy is currently formed by the ideas of Ning Yu and the many staff members of the Chu Palace, and the key is that this battle can only be won, not lost, if it loses, I am afraid that the situation of the entire Fu Han army will be more and more difficult day by day.
One of the most important is to compete with the Qing court for time, the Qing court is now fighting for the future, and the Fu Han army is fighting for the present. If you really wait for the Qing court to train a strong army that can compare with the current Fu Han army, it will be too late by then.
"To promote peace, to gain time, to recuperate, waiting for the opportunity to go on the Northern Expedition!"
Ning Yu directly set the theme of this strategy, as the so-called from the beginning, if the Fu Han army only focused on Huguang, then it would be difficult to gain the advantage of the overall situation, and only by focusing on the overall situation could this key battle be fought.
After the meeting, Ning Yu separately summoned the new director of the military intelligence department, Shi Xue, in this battle, military intelligence is absolutely indispensable, if there is no military intelligence system covering the entire battlefield, Ning Yu will not dare to fight this battle so rashly.
Previously, Ning Qianqiu, as the current person in charge of the Military Intelligence Department, had made a mistake in the battle against Fu Erdan, which also led to Ning Zhongyuan's danger, so Ning Yu learned from the pain and specially promoted Shi Xue within the Military Intelligence Department as the new person in charge of the Military Intelligence Department, while Ning Qianqiu was arranged to the logistics department to study with Li Fu.
Shi Xue is older, in his thirties, with a pair of slender eyes, looking behind people, there is always a taste of cruelty, of course, in front of Ning Yu, Shi Xue looks very respectful.
"Ling Wen, the Military Intelligence Department is still a little immature in doing things, from Zhang Yuanqi's incident, I hope you can sum up certain experiences and lessons, I don't want a second Luo Feng, nor do I want a second Fu Erdan, I must do the work more meticulously. Of course, if you have any requirements, you can put them forward, and I will try my best to meet you. ”
Shi Xue bowed his head slightly and responded, his personality is like this, he is somewhat similar to Cheng Ming, but he is more cunning and better at speculating on other people's thoughts, which is also quite valued by Ning Yu.
"Back to the Grand Governor, the situation in this battle is very special now, I need the assistance of the shadows, their intelligence and assassination methods can be used completely, but I am worried that there will be violations, so I specifically asked the Grand Governor for instructions."
Ning Yu frowned slightly when he heard this request, since he peeled the military intelligence department out of the shadow, he was thinking of becoming two parallel threads, not entangled, this request was actually against his will.
However, this also has a lot to do with the lack of strength of the current MIA, after all, the MI has not been established for a long time, and many people have come out of the shadows directly, and have not yet fully cultivated their own descendants, and as for some other personnel of the organization, they are a little rough in their actions.
Ning Yu had a headache, but before he could think about whether to agree, Shi Xue saw that Ning Yu's face was a little bad, and quickly changed his words: "Actually, the difficulty of the Metropolitan Governor, I also understand in my heart, if it is inconvenient for the shadow to assist, then I only need to ask the adult for someone." ”
"As long as this person is given to me, I have the confidence to become the most sensitive clairvoyant and obedient ear of the Metropolitan Governor in this battle!"
