Chapter 018: The Eve: The Foundation Lay
Gai Zhou Wei.
The soldiers of the Eight Banners on the city stood on guard, wearing armor and holding guns, and they were highly concentrated on patrolling, for fear that the army of Donghai Town outside the city would make a move.
Since the outbreak of the decisive battle in Wuzhai Station, Daishan and Mang Gurtai were chased and beaten by the Donghai Town army, during which several tragic battles broke out, but all because the Donghai Town army had powerful firearms, and finally led to the Eight Banners soldiers being suppressed to the death in the fight.
No one expected that the Eight Banners of the Field would be pressed and beaten.
In order to ensure that the Khan King Nurhachi can get out of the threat smoothly, Daishan and Mang Gurtai must attract the attention of Donghai Town, and Daishan and Mang Gurtai also know very well in their hearts that a desperate retreat will eventually bring the danger of a reversal to the Eight Banners.
Let the Khan King Nurhachi be the first to go back and stabilize the lair, this is more important than anything else.
It seems that he has seen through the minds of Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai, Zhao Zongwu ordered the transfer of the Donghai Town garrison after the chase battle that broke out before, this is definitely a very rare opportunity to train troops, if he misses it, then he will not be able to get more excellent soldiers.
Since the takeover of the Fuzhou Weiyi, the General Staff Department has been working together to publicize and appease the Department, and has been committed to implementing the local garrison system, and in the process of absorbing a large number of displaced people, it has registered the people with good physical fitness among them, so as to establish the foundation for the subsequent formation of the militia system.
The army field battle, the garrison guarding the locality, and the militia responsibility system, through such a three-dimensional method, constantly improve the war potential of Donghai Town.
The battle of Donghai Town did kill a lot of soldiers, but the same Jiannu did not take a slight advantage, with inferior soldiers, in exchange for Jiannu's elite soldiers, this itself is a very cost-effective deal, of course, from a humanitarian point of view, it seems very cold.
But in Liaodong, in Daming, there is no such thing as human rights. If the people want to live a good life, the soldiers want to live a good life, or more specifically, if the group with low social status wants to live a good life, then they must earn it with their own lives, otherwise they will not be able to compare with the group with capital.
"No matter what method you use, as long as there is no change in Donghai Town, you must transfer as many soldiers and horses as possible!"
In the tent besieging Gaizhou Wei, Zhao Zongwu stared at Chen Qiyu with a stern expression, according to Zhao Zongwu's orders, there were more than 60,000 soldiers at all levels gathered in front of the Fuzhou Guard.
The advantage of this is that a new defense system has been successfully constructed, with Shimen Pass, Shangha Tower Pier, Da Tuan Ling Pass, and Da Tuan Ling Dun as the core, and the huge gap in the Gaizhou defense line on the western front was blocked by Zhao Zongwu with a large number of soldiers and flesh and blood.
As for the fact that Jiannu can sneak attack across the watershed, I am afraid that at this moment, it is enough to intercept the Jiannu army who want to sneak attack along the Tianshui Station Fort and Lianshan Pass.
The only loophole in the entire defense line is Gaizhouwei, which is besieged by Donghai Town.
When the war is fought, it is rare to occupy a dominant advantage, so Zhao Zongwu definitely does not want to take advantage of himself in the process.
With the increasing expansion of the power of Donghai Town, the first thing that needs to be solved is the number of elite divisions, the initial foundation is only a little bigger, although there is no problem in the elite generals and middle-level generals, but they can only be regarded as the skeleton of this huge system, if you want to make the system of Donghai Town completely rooted, you must have real flesh and blood to fill, and the huge elite division is flesh and blood!
After playing this battle, Zhao Zongwu knew very well in his heart that if Donghai Town wanted to ensure the current situation, then the elite division pushed in front must ensure that it was in the range of 120,000, if this number could not be ensured, Donghai Town wanted to further lay the foundation quickly, and there was a great hidden danger from the root.
It is worth mentioning that the elite division that has met the requirements, Donghai Town currently has only 60,000 people, and there are still 60,000 people short of the predetermined goal.
It was precisely because of this thought that Zhao Zongwu wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to achieve his true idea of wanting to train soldiers.
Maybe this doesn't allow them to step into the sequence of elite divisions, but at the same time, having such an unforgettable experience is enough for them to have the heart of a strong person who can become an elite division.
Anyone who wants to be strong has a reason.
Chen Qiyu insisted on his worries: "But uncle, if it is said that the garrison and militia of the Zhenyu place are on the register, in case, the humble position is in case there is a civil unrest in Donghai Town, or a group of Jiannu soldiers and horses break through our army's defense line and wantonly run rampant against our Donghai Town, we must think of such a situation!" But all our troops have gathered in Gaizhouwei, and the variables in this are too great......"
In the face of Chen Qiyu's worries, Zhao Zongwu certainly thought of it, but he preferred to believe in the generals under his command, and he believed that such a situation would not happen.
In the process of becoming stronger and bigger, there are not a few bets like this, but how many people who really become strong do not have such a broken idea?
If you want to become stronger, if you want to really become a strong party, this is not a simple thing.
"Ben Bo believes in my robe, brother! I believe even more in Brother Paoze, who is in the General Staff Department! Zhao Zongwu rarely did not get angry, but looked at Chen Qiyu calmly and said.
One sentence made Chen Qiyu not refute.
War is a big gamble, if you miss this opportunity, then the subsequent regret is huge, the crisis is accompanied by a turnaround, if you take advantage of this opportunity, can take the first step to consolidate the defense line, to ensure that the recovered territory is firmly in your own hands, then such a big gamble is completely worth the risk!
Chen Qiyu thought a lot and thought a lot, which also made him finally firm up his thoughts. Looking at Zhao Zongwu's eyes, he also became firm, and nodded heavily: "Let's do it!" ”
Looking at Chen Qiyu who was leaving, this made Zhao Zongwu, who was tense in his face, a little relaxed, although he also had a lot of hesitation in his heart, but this was something that Donghai Town had to experience.
The simple reconquest of lost territory can no longer allow Donghai Town to quickly lay the foundation, and only by ensuring the quality of Donghai Town's army is the Dinghai Divine Needle that makes Donghai Town stand in Liaodong.
"Nurhachi, Benbo wants to thank you this time, I really didn't expect you to run away, so that Benbo can realize such an idea, you can rest assured, for Liaoyang City, Benbo has no idea now, since you are in such a hurry to go back, then this time Benbo will not bother you."
Looking at the map placed in front of him, Zhao Zongwu's heart was full of sighs.
The situation in front of him was something he couldn't imagine from the beginning, so that such an opportunity made him hesitate at first, but when he saw Jiannu who retreated to Gaizhouwei, he began to use Gaizhouwei as the core of his defense, which also made him gradually firm up in his heart.
The current Jiannu because of the previous battle, their morale has plummeted, and they have an indescribable feeling for their own army, if more recruits can come over in the process, even if they feel the tragedy of the war later, this will also be a huge benefit for the follow-up selection of soldiers to be added to the Donghai Town Army sequence.
It was with such an idea that Zhao Zongwu decided to start this bold idea, and it turned out that such an idea would definitely make the Donghai Town Army have a radical change!
At this stage, everything that Donghai Town has will force Donghai Town itself to speed up the absorption of displaced people, because the speed of rapid expansion makes Donghai Town want to maintain a high-intensity development momentum, it must have more people under its command, more young and strong to do the bottom.
This is the benign development that Zhao Zongwu has been pursuing, and it belongs to the strong secret of Donghai Town!
