Chapter 209: Retreat

The little dog is now starting to have a headache to eat, because there is not much food left in his barracks, and the food team sent out today has gone a long way, but has gained little. Although Jiangnan is the most important production area of grain, his opponent has implemented the means of clearing the wilderness, leaving the dog at a loss.

"Hasn't Yan Siqi's fleet broken through the Qiantang River estuary yet?" The puppy asked the same dejected Zhao Wujie.

"Yan Siqi has done his best, and at the beginning, his progress was very smooth, and the Zhejiang Navy Division was almost wiped out. But he didn't expect that the Fujian Navy Division had inserted a pole horizontally, and the firepower of this Fujian Navy Division was indeed too fierce, and yesterday's naval battle made him suffer heavy losses and had to withdraw from the Qiantang River estuary. Originally, Yan Siqi wanted to lure the enemy out to sea for a decisive battle, but unfortunately, the enemy was not fooled at all. It seems that this Yu Zhigao really has the style of a father, brave and calm, and it is indeed difficult to deal with. ”

"Yes, the Ming people are outstanding spirits, as long as they use the law properly, they are not easy to deal with. For example, in front of us, the ninja has already figured out that the initiator of all this is just a small showman, just 16 years old. Logically speaking, this is still a child, and the result is that this child, every time, at the most critical time, reverses the whole situation, leaving us helpless. If your court can make good use of these talents, it will still be invincible in the world, why did it come to this point today? ”

Zhao Wujie lowered his head and was silent. The little dog is right, the Han people are not only tens of thousands, but the talents among them are even more carloaded, but it is this court that cannot be used well for people, so that a brilliant Ming Dynasty has been brought to this point today, so that he can not be a common man with peace of mind, and has become a pirate who licks blood with this knife. But is it still useful to say all this now? As the saying goes, the ass decides the head, and now that I have embarked on this road, I have to go down the road head-on, and think about the following countermeasures is the right thing to do.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty ignored Yan Siqi's ideas at all, so it is obvious that his method will not work. If his method does not work, it means that our method will not work. The enemy has already carried out the clearing of the surrounding walls, so that our food has been difficult, and the fortified city of Hangzhou in front of it is not only the city wall is tall and well-equipped. What's more, the original group of people who didn't even dare to kill chickens have slowly become veterans because of the battles of the past few days, and our attack has become even more difficult. Don't say that we have lost seven or eight thousand people in the past few days, that is, the enemy has lost the same as us, but there are millions of Hangzhou people behind the enemy, and if one dies, 10 can be replaced. We don't have the ability to completely besiege Hangzhou City, so we can hardly affect the transportation of materials in Hangzhou City. And the enemy camp behind us was also reinforced by five or six thousand men. The enemy is growing, and we are alone here, but we are constantly weakened and cannot be replenished. What is the way forward? It's a real headache. ”

Zhao Wujie said so much, and it was already obvious that he would retreat. I just want to talk to this partner.

The little dog also felt that his operation was a complete failure, and if he continued to fight, he could only be wiped out, and there was really no way to fight this battle, so he followed Zhao Wujie's words and said: "We should accept it when we see it, if we persist like this, in the end our end will be a chicken and egg fight, you Han people have a saying, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." We are pirates, we are robbers, and we are only running thousands of miles for a fortune, not to occupy a territory and become kings on our own. Well, so I also think we should retreat. But the only thing to consider is Yan Siqi's feelings. This time he lent us 30,000 troops in order to achieve his goal. As a result, we have lost seven or eight thousand people to him here, and his purpose cannot be achieved, so what should we do in the future? How to cooperate? ”

Zhao Wujie understood that the little dog had already retreated, the stone in his heart was put on the ground, raised his head and said worriedly: "I am also a little worried about this, after all, Yan Siqi is the real leader in this South China Sea region." Once we retreat like this, it will anger him, and our forces are not afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army's sailors. But Yan Siqi wants to annihilate us because of hatred, which is simply easy. Therefore, we must obtain his consent for this retreat, otherwise it will be a dead end. ”

The little dog sighed: "Actually, I am most worried about this, otherwise I would have seen that the situation was not right, so I would have withdrawn my troops and gone back." You took the lead in this matter at the beginning, and it seems that I have to trouble you to explain our current situation to Yan Siqi. If he can agree to withdraw his troops, of course, it will be a good thing. If he insists on not withdrawing his troops, the main force is his men anyway, and the losses are also his, so we will hold on for a while. ”

This kind of almost scoundrel thought reminded Zhao Wujie, and after thinking about it carefully, he finally nodded and said: "It's no problem for me to go this time, but from the perspective of righteousness, we should also give Yan Siqi a little benefit, we can't just leave empty-handed, this business is not benevolent, how can we make people earn a little, otherwise it is really difficult to explain." ”

This is fair, in order for the two families to live in peace in the future, in order to let Yan Siqi raise his noble hand over his survival territory, it is still necessary to take out something to gag his mouth. But where does this stuff come from? Of course, they can't pay out of their own pockets, so the two of them summed up how to end this rash attack perfectly.

Opening the map of Zhejiang, the two of them carefully discussed the route of retreat. In the end, Zhao Wujie decided: "I still have more than 100 warships in my hands, and you still have 20,000 horses in your hands, I will go to see Yan Siqi, I will not say that we are retreating, I will say that I will make peace with him Yan Siqi." I will use my warships to attack the Daming Naval Division at the mouth of the Qiantang River from the upstream, and come to an upper and lower flanking attack to annihilate the Naval Division at the mouth of the Qiantang River of the Ming Dynasty. And you go east along the banks of the Qiantang River and attack the water village of the Daming Water Division from the land, let's pull out this nail, and then combine all our abilities to attack Hangzhou again. ”

The little dog's eyes lit up: "Your method is very good, this is not an excuse, this is really a big strategic policy." As long as we uproot the camp of the Fujian Navy Division at the mouth of the Qiantang River, it will be tantamount to relieving our worries, and the two armies will join forces in one place, go upriver along the Qiantang River, and attack Hangzhou again, and we will have an absolute chance of victory. ”

Zhao Wujie looked at the method he had just done from a different angle, and found that it was indeed the truth, why didn't he think of it in the first place? What a stupid pig to be. As long as this strategic goal is achieved, the original plan can continue to be carried out perfectly, which is really a seamless strategic plan.

So, Zhao Wujie and the little dog changed their original plan to flee from the wilderness, and came with this new plan to discuss with Yan Siqi. Baidu takes a look at the latest chapter of "Lonely Ministers and Jiezhong Literature in the Late Ming Dynasty" to read for free for the first time.
