After the 50,000 bandit army was assembled, Nanzhili also transported a large amount of money, grain, and baggage to the camp in Jiangpu Town.

This time, in order to increase the chances of victory of the bandit army, the imperial court let the soldiers fight quickly and without worries, which can be said to have made great efforts.

Not only did the garrisons of Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi provinces obey the orders of the commander-in-chief Dai Jingkui, and ordered the civilian officials of the four provinces to fully assist in the action of the anti-bandit army, but also the money, grain, and baggage mobilized for the army were also very sufficient, enough for the 50,000 troops to eat for seven months, and the follow-up money, grain, and baggage were still being deployed!

With these material guarantees, General Dai Jingkui can be said to be full of ambition, and secretly made up his mind to win a battle and win military merits for his promotion.

On this day, General Dai Jingkui convened all the generals under his command to discuss the big tent of the Chinese army.

Liu Juntao, as a guerrilla general, was naturally in the ranks, and led Sun Xu, the commander of the main barracks, Zhang Xiaojun, the commander of the front battalion of the Yushan Town Guard, Yan Hu, the commander of the rear battalion, and Zhou Zongsheng, the commander of the iron cavalry battalion, to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Not long after Liu Juntao and the others arrived, a group of generals in Beijing entered the Chinese army's tent.

This time, the Beijing battalion dispatched a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses, all elite battalion soldiers, led by two guerrilla generals, four garrisons, and seven thousand commanders.

Liu Juntao looked at the dozen or so generals of the Beijing camp, and saw that everyone was brightly clothed, tall and tall, and all of them were arrogant, and the eyes that looked at Liu Juntao and others were full of disdain.

This made Sun Xu, Zhang Xiaojun, Yan Hu, Zhou Zongsheng and others very dissatisfied, and they glared back angrily.

On the side, a Qianhu beside Dai Jingkui looked at this side, came up with a smile and greeted everyone, and quietly separated the people on both sides.

"Hehe, let's sit down first, and when those Mongolian thousands of households come, our military discussion will begin, don't let the adults wait for a long time."

Those generals of the Beijing camp naturally have no opinions, the main general Dai Jingkui himself is a general of the Beijing camp, and he has a lot of prestige among these Beijing camp generals, and the words of the people around Dai Jingkui, these Beijing camp generals dare not listen, they all salute Dai Jingkui, and then sit down.

Liu Juntao took a closer look at the Qian Zong who spoke, and saw that he was tall and white, about thirty years old, and he was a shrewd person at first glance.

According to the news sent by the Investigation Department, General Dai Jingkui only brought a thousand generals, plus a thousand pacesetter battalions, and his subordinates in the Beijing camp did not follow much.

Liu Juntao said secretly: "This person should be General Dai's confidant Qianzong, this person is very good!" ”

Just thinking about it, Liu Juntao also waved his hand, and Zhang Xiaojun, Yan Hu, Zhou Zongsheng, and Sun Xu also sat down separately and sat down behind Liu Juntao.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the big tent, and four short Mongolian men swaggered in, all four of them were bearded, old clothes, and full of nonsense.

Liu Juntao also frowned slightly, and looked at the four Mongolian thousand households, these four people are also powerful and powerful, and they are very strong in temperament, but they lack the solemnity and discipline that a soldier should have.

"Such Mongolian soldiers are actually not worthy of the prestige of the Mongolian iron cavalry, and the current Mongolians are no longer the yellow ~ disaster of the Mengyuan period!"

Liu Juntao muttered secretly in his heart.

When the four Mongolian thousand households were also seated, the entire army of more than 1,000 generals and above would have arrived.

Seeing this, General Dai Jingkui slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Everyone! This time, the thief Deng Maoqi led several bandits to rebel and destroy the place, and we, as Ming soldiers, should kill the thieves and pacify the trouble. Repay the king's kindness! Next, save the people from fire and water! I also hope that you and I will work together to defeat the thieves! ”

When everyone heard this, they all stood up and clenched their fists together, and said loudly: "The last general swears to follow the general to the death!" Kill the thieves and make another great achievement! ”

"Good!"

General Dai Jingkui saw that the morale of the generals was high, and his heart was also very happy, so he motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said to Mr. Qian beside him: "Mr. Niu Qian, let's talk about it!" ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Niu Qian!" Liu Juntao secretly wrote it down.

"Order!"

The cow Qianhu stood up and bowed to everyone, and then said: "Fellow comrades, this time thieves are rampant, gathering millions of people, and destroying the land of the four provinces, this is a rare disaster since the founding of the country, and it is also a great opportunity for us to make contributions!" ”

"According to the night and the reports of the provinces, the main force of the thieves is currently operating in Yanping Mansion and Funing Mansion in Fujian, and a small number of soldiers and horses are attacking Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang provinces, and the situation is very critical!"

"The general has ordered the garrisons of Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang provinces to resist the thieves with all their might, and prevent the thieves from wandering elsewhere. At the same time, the general has already set a strategy of dividing the troops into two routes and attacking together, and will fight with the army of thieves in Fujian! ”

After listening to Niu Qianzong's words, everyone began to talk in a whisper.

Although the morale of the soldiers and horses in each battalion is high, there are millions of thieves after all, even if the people, women and children who are being coerced are removed, there are still hundreds of thousands of horses.

And the official army is only 50,000 horses, and now the generals have to divide the troops, isn't this a taboo that the division of troops is weak?

However, Liu Juntao didn't say anything, and Liu Juntao could still guess a thing or two about General Dai Jingkui's thoughts.

The 50,000 troops under the command of General Dai Jingkui were divided into three sides, and if they gathered together to go on a joint expedition, they would definitely cause trouble among themselves because of the grabbing of merit and the competition for supplies.

In the previous wars of the national dynasty, such things abounded, and Dai Jingkui, as the main general, had to guard against it.

Moreover, if the 50,000 army attacks all the way, the supply pressure on the state capitals along the way is also huge, and even unbearable, especially Fujian, which has already suffered a military disaster!

Therefore, the method of dividing and attacking together is also a last resort.

Niu Qian always looked at the generals and said, "If you have any opinions, you can put them forward, don't discuss them in private!" ”

The four Mongolian thousand households didn't have any opinions, but the generals of the Beijing camp began to speak, and everyone was opposed to the division of troops.

At this time, General Dai Jingkui said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind about the division of troops!" This time the thieves are powerful, if they attack all the way, once the thieves are defeated, they will scatter and flee, and they will still leave the place in trouble at that time! Only by dividing troops to suppress can we kill and injure the thieves to the greatest extent! This proposal cannot be refuted! ”

As soon as the words fell, those Jingying generals were silent, and they all hugged their fists to take their lives.

Staff General Dai Jingkui nodded and motioned for Mr. Niu Qian to continue.

Mr. Niu Qian cleared his throat and said, "According to the Lord's policy, the generals will listen to the order!" ”

Everyone stood up one after another, clasping their fists and obeying the order.

"The army will go south at the same time in two ways tomorrow, and the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp will be the same as the Mongolian iron cavalry, and they will go south from Shaowu Mansion in Fujian Province to Yanping Mansion, and the soldiers and horses on this road will be led by the general himself! Another army, from Fujian Funing Mansion to the south, directly to Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and other places, this army by Shandong soldiers and horses! The two armies attacked at the same time, and according to the development of the war, they sought an opportunity to converge in Tingzhou Mansion; After annihilating the main force of the thieves, the two armies will merge into one and jointly wipe out the remnants of the bandits in Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places! ”

After listening to Niu Qianzong's words, everyone responded in unison: "The last will be ordered!" ”

At this time, General Dai Jingkui stood up and said, "Everyone! At three o'clock tomorrow morning, the army will immediately set off south! ”

"Order!"
