Liu Bagou even blew the south to Liuzhou Mansion, listening to his tone, as if if he did not move to Liuzhou, the Tang Dynasty would die.

That's right, Liu Bagou really thinks so in his heart!

Now the main army of the Tang Dynasty is in Guangxi, this army, and the main army has been away for a long time, even if His Majesty trusts Hao Bonian and a group of other generals, but who knows what will happen!

In the past, Liu Bagou would still be worried about Li Xuan's personal conquest, but now, he is eager for Li Xuan to go south to Guangxi one day earlier, and then firmly grasp the army in his hands again.

The Holy Driver is going south, this is something that everyone has known for a long time, and they all agree on it, so no one has raised any objections to this matter at all, and the only difference is how to relocate.

The personnel are simple, but should the various workshops in Xingquan Mansion be relocated together? After the relocation, what about the reduction in ordnance production caused by the shutdown?

Also, the east of Xingquan Mansion is Huguang, although the Ming army on the Huguang side has not yet hit, but there is news that Huguang has already gathered a large army, and it is a sure thing that he will enter Xingquan Mansion in the west.

In this case, does this Xingquan Mansion have to leave some troops to defend? If you don't send troops, how can the many workshops in Xingquan Mansion be protected? Wouldn't that be served by the Ming army!

However, if there are more troops, it will definitely affect the follow-up southward strategy, and if there are more troops, it will definitely affect the follow-up southward strategy, and then attack Wuzhou, Zhaoqing and other Guangdong, relying on the existing southbound troops alone is a bit enough.

Wuzhou is not Liuzhou Mansion, the terrain there is extremely suitable for defense, and the Ming army has a large number of troops, and even the city walls are extremely tall, so it is not so easy to fight.

If you go south, the Holy Driver will definitely bring some troops, especially the Third Infantry Brigade composed of the Fifth Infantry Regiment and the Sixth Infantry Regiment, this infantry brigade has been staying in Xingquan Mansion and Liping Mansion, and everyone has long known that if Your Majesty goes there, this infantry brigade will definitely follow there.

His Majesty has gone south, and this infantry brigade will definitely not stay in Xingquan Mansion and Liping Mansion.

However, after this infantry brigade leaves, the First Cavalry Battalion, the First Artillery Battalion, and the First Baggage Regiment will definitely leave, not to mention the troops of the Guards Battalion, so that there will only be one regular army left in the entire Guizhou, the Second Infantry Brigade.

And then there was the 1st Garrison Brigade as well as the 2nd Garrison Brigade.

Relying on such troops to conquer Guiyang, to suppress the huge Guizhou, and to guard against the Ming army in Huguang, Sichuan, Yunnan and other places, it is light to say that the strength is not enough.

Many disagreements made everyone a little noisy, and at this time, Li Xuan usually sat firmly in Diaoyutai and would not easily participate in the discussions of the courtiers.

However, now the quality of these civil and military officials is slowly improving, even Liu Bagou, a fortune teller, is already becoming more and more like a qualified official after being the first assistant of the cabinet for so long.

This method of dealing with things is also quite old-fashioned, and he is the same as Li Xuan, who did not express his position easily, but let the military and cabinet officials continue to quarrel, while he himself is constantly making peace.

In the end, the civil and military officials discussed a solution that did not work!

You can't move all the workshops in Xingquan Mansion, but you can't leave them all behind!

The Ministry of Industry wanted to relocate some of the craftsmen and some skilled workers in Xingquan Province to Liuzhou, while the remaining craftsmen continued to produce weapons in Xingquan Province.

And the second relocation will be carried out at a later stage, and where will the second relocation go?

Guiyang!

Guiyang is the provincial capital of Guizhou, and in the future, the Tang Dynasty will definitely continue to march to Yunnan, and there will definitely be a need for an ordnance production base of a certain scale in the Yunnan-Guizhou region, after all, in the southwest region where transportation is inconvenient, it is impossible to transport ammunition across hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, which will make the logistics department worry to death.

However, if it is relocated for the third time, it is estimated that it may be from Huguang, in short, in the end, the workshop of Xingquan Mansion will definitely be moved.

There's no way, who let Xingquan Mansion want nothing, it's really not suitable for the development of industry!

And before Xingquan Mansion completely moves out of various workshops, the military will also send some troops to protect these troops!

According to the operational plan of the Operations Division, after the Holy Infantry Brigade goes south, the Third Infantry Brigade and all regular army units will also go south, and the defense of the entire Guizhou will be undertaken by the Second Infantry Brigade, the First Garrison Brigade, and the Second Garrison Brigade!

And set the early goal, that is, to defeat Guiyang first, and then fight against the possible arrival of the Huguang army!

Whether the army will continue to expand in Guizhou in the later period is certain, but that is a long-term goal, not now, and the defense of Guizhou can only be handed over to these three troops to be responsible for!

As for whether to continue to expand the army in Guizhou, Li Xuan himself also has ideas, that is, the regular army should be slowed down first, especially the regular army equipped with a large number of firearms.

Because the ordnance production of the Tang Dynasty was limited, and of the two infantry regiments of the Third Infantry Brigade that went south with him, only the Fifth Infantry Regiment was initially satisfied, and the Sixth Infantry Regiment was still holding cold weapons.

Moreover, the two battalions of the Guards Army and the two battalions of the Fourth Infantry Brigade were also newly established in Guangxi.

It is expected that in the next six months, the ordnance production of the Tang Dynasty, especially the guns, is basically needed to meet the above-mentioned new troops, and at the same time continue to maintain the guns and artillery replenishment of the existing troops.

In this way, if a new army is to be established, it can only wait for half a year later, especially when the Ministry of Industry workshop on the side of Liuzhou City will start mass production.

Troops equipped with guns can be established without first forming, but reserve troops can still be established a few more, and garrisons can also continue to be expanded.

These cold weapons troops do not need to use guns, as long as there are people who can handle them, the cold weapons will naturally be sent by the Ming army.

And the reserve battalion and the garrison army are actually very useful, the troops that go to Guilin and the troops who go to Qingyuan Mansion are not all troops composed of reserve battalions and garrisons, although they are a little short of a large-scale Ming army decisive battle, but it is still possible to fight a dozen small-scale local guard troops and ordinary young men of the Ming army.

Of course, this kind of thing is not suitable to talk about today, and then he can directly order the departments of the Privy Council.

Today's theme is still south!

After discussing for a long time, this pre-imperial strategic meeting is over, and then the official relocation begins!

Each ministry went back to prepare for the relocation work!

And Li Xuan himself also returned to the harem, and told the Empress Dowager Bai and Dong Yunyun and others about the decision to officially go south three days later.

Naturally, they would not object to Li Xuan's decision, and they all began to direct the maids to pack up their belongings, preparing to go south with Li Xuan when the time came!

Three days passed in a flash, and early in the morning, Li Xuan ran to the station where the Fifth Infantry Regiment became the Fifth Infantry Regiment with the personal guard battalion and members of the royal family.

The cabinet and a large number of officials also packed their belongings early in the morning, and most of them took their families with them to go south

As for the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, there are a large number of them, and they have set off one after another since yesterday, and the first batch of craftsmen and skilled workers to Liuzhou is about 2,000 people.

Some of the tools needed for manual work were naturally carried by craftsmen and workers, and when they arrived in Liuzhou City, they were able to resume production immediately without delaying military production too much.

In the end, the craftsmen and workers on the Xingquan Mansion side will probably only leave more than 1,000 people, and their ordnance production will mainly supply the troops in Guizhou.

There were also many officials and their families who went south with the army, adding up to almost 2,000 people.

These officials all know that if they go to Liuzhou this time, they are afraid that they will not return to Xingquan Mansion in the future, and the family will definitely need to bring it.

In fact, not only these officials and their families, but also many gentry, landlords and businessmen who had connections with the Tang Dynasty also ran away with the army, why? Naturally, they were afraid that after the Tang Dynasty King left, the Ming army would come over, and they would be unlucky at that time.

For example, the Dong family!

The daughter of their family is a pseudo-Tang queen, if the Ming army comes over in the future, the Dong family will not expect to survive.

There are a lot of people in this part, and there are more than 1,000 people in total.

So this time the relocation, just these people, is almost 4,000 people, this team can be described as huge!

As for the army, the 3rd Infantry Brigade, the 1st Cavalry Battalion, the 1st Artillery Battalion, the 1st Baggage Regiment, the Guards Battalion and other troops will also go south!

The 2nd Infantry Brigade, the 1st Garrison Brigade, and the 2nd Garrison Brigade will undertake the defense work of the entire Guizhou region, and the 3rd Infantry Regiment and the 1st Garrison Brigade will be responsible for the temporary Xingquanfu and other eastern Guizhou areas.

The army, as well as the officials, family members, gentry, and merchants accompanying the army, marched south from Guizhou, first from Xingquan Mansion to Liping Mansion, and then through Liping Mansion to the south into Guangxi, and into Huaiyuan.

After arriving in Huaiyuan, he will take the fleet organized by the Logistics Department and the Navy and other departments to continue southward until he reaches the capital city of Liuzhou!

However, the speed of the people is relatively slow, if tens of thousands of people go together, it is estimated that they will not be able to arrive in a month, so in fact, Li Xuan will lead the personal guard battalion, the fifth infantry regiment and the main civil and military senior officials to the south first.

They want to arrive in Liuzhou as soon as possible and start their work!

After all, it is impossible for the southbound army to wait for a month or two in Liuzhou Fucheng, so it will miss too much time!

The war will not stop because Li Xuan wants to go south to Liuzhou!

Especially in Guangxi, after the rout of Anjia Wharf and the fall of Liuzhou, almost the entire Liangguang region was shaken, and it is rumored that Wang Yue, the governor of Liangguang, was extremely angry and personally called Wei Yan to Wuzhou City and scolded him.

Then there was the full mobilization of the troops of Guangxi and Guangzhou, and it is rumored that even the troops on the Guangdong side had already begun to set off along the Xijiang River into Guangxi.

In this case, the army going south cannot sit still!
