In addition to the three most realistic enemies, the Jurchens, the Mughus, and the Dangxiang, the General Staff of the New Army also listed a number of imaginary enemies.

This included the Jurchens, who had gradually formed a more primitive tribal alliance regime under the weight of the Jurchen Jin, whose leader called himself Bomu Bogol, whose specific mobilization capacity was unknown.

According to the confessions of the captured prisoners before, Bomu Bogol was able to mobilize thousands to 10,000 Ding Zhuang to fight against the Jurchen army, but the equipment was far behind, not to mention the iron armor, and even the iron weapons were very few, and the combat effectiveness was completely unable to match the Jin army.

The birth of the Jurchen against the real Nur was really forced, if it wasn't for the Jin Army's excessive oppression, they would actually be happy to go out and rob with the real Jurchen.

There are also the Koreans who were also oppressed by the Jin State.

This country used to be a vassal state of the Great Zhou, and later the Great Zhou moved south, and Goryeo declared itself a vassal to the Jin State, but the Jurchen ravines were difficult to fill, and the little wealth that Goryeo paid every year could not satisfy the greedy Jurchen nobles, so they were still often plundered by the Jurchens.

However, Goryeo was always a vassal state of the Jurchens, and it was natural that it was regarded as an imaginary enemy by the General Staff, not to mention that there were many pirates in this country, and they often traveled south to raid near the coast of the Great Zhou.

However, the General Staff did not have as much information about Goryeo's national strength as it did about the Jurchen Monggu, and only knew that this was a large country with a population of several million, and the theoretical mobilization force should be around 2 or 300,000, possibly more.

But this country does not seem to be able to mobilize such a number of people, and several times against the Jurchens, the king of Goryeo has only used less than 20,000 troops at most, and in most cases a few thousand troops to face tens of thousands of Jurchen iron cavalry.

And then naturally it was crushed.

Therefore, with the available information, Goryeo gave the impression of the New Army General Staff as a miniature version of Da Zhou - with a large population, but low mobilization capacity, and the troops themselves lacked combat effectiveness.

It's just a fat-headed pig and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

After Goryeo came Fuso.

This is even more of an intelligence black hole, and the new army's knowledge of Fusang is completely dependent on the Japanese prisoners and the Li family of Shuangyu.

At present, it is only known that the population of this country is larger than that of Goryeo, and in addition, there is a war in the country, and dozens or hundreds of noble daimyo with fiefs are fighting each other, and there is no sign of unification.

Therefore, it is also unknown to the General Staff how many troops Fuso can mobilize, but judging from the number of Japanese pirates, there are at least one or two thousand large and small ships along the coast of Fuso, and tens of thousands of Japanese pirates are harboring.

This is also an enemy that must be taken seriously, after all, the Japanese have also come to Qi Province to plunder.

In addition to the definite hostile and imaginary enemies, the General Staff is also secretly collecting intelligence on the other two forces.

One of them is the Lee Pirates.

In this regard, because Li Haitao is also a big cabinet, the information is relatively transparent.

The General Staff knew that the current Li Pirate Group had suffered a lot of strength losses after the defeat of Li Feibao and the replacement of the big boss of the Flying Dragon and Flying Tiger in the previous period.

At present, in addition to Li Haitao, the pirate group still has 12 large cabinets, dozens of medium cabinets and small cabinets, 5 to 6,000 large and small ships, and about 200,000 armed pirates.

The good thing is that they can still be supplemented by fishermen who can't survive along the coast of Dazhou, so 200,000 pirates is not the maximum mobilization cap.

The disadvantage is that because of Li Feilong, there are faint signs of split in the pirate group, and Li Feihu himself has repeatedly complained about his brother, the former big treasurer Li Feilong does not obey his orders.

There are also a few big cabinets who are completely disappointed in Zhao'an, and they have the ambition to learn from the Xu family in Qi Province and become an independent force.

Someone once proposed at the big cabinet meeting to go to Taiwan Island to open up and establish a country belonging to pirates.

There were also proposals to get involved in the civil war in Fuso and to occupy a piece of territory in Fuso.

These people have already had great contradictions with the brothers Li Feilong and Li Feihu, who are bent on recruiting peace.

Sadly, there is also a gap between the two brothers, and it is already difficult to twist into a rope to suppress those ambitious cabinets.

As far as Qi Province is concerned, the Shuangyu Pirates are still an ally, but it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, so the staff has always been vigilant against the Li family.

In addition to the Li family, another force on the alert list of the General Staff was the Great Zhou court in Jiangnan.

As for the reason...... needless to say, I understand everything.

Da Zhou's intelligence is easy to collect, but Jiangnan is too big, and it is a very time-consuming task to sort out a large amount of information.

What is known at present is: according to Da Zhou's own statistics, there are 11 million households in Jiangnan, about 60 million people.

The annual income is about 50 million two bundles of stones, the number of years is not clear, according to the information from Xu Shiliu's side, the current staff only knows that the deficit left in previous years is very large (mainly arrears of wages, military rewards, followed by arrears of labor money, owing less to officials), but the first year of Longdao seems to be able to achieve a balance of payments.

Last year, Minister Wen proposed to open up the Jianghuai River and repay the arrears of wages and labor service money by dividing the land of the Jianghuai River.

This method has achieved phased success, and the national strength of the Great Zhou has been expanded, not to mention, and a large deficit has been repaid.

The finances of the imperial court are gradually improving, and the national strength is slowly rising.

A strong imperial court is naturally not a good thing for Qi Province, and now that the imperial court controls the south bank of the Huai River, which is not far from the border of Qi Province, it is natural for the staff to be vigilant against the imperial court.

In addition, all other forces can only be counted outside the civilized world in people's minds now - including several countries in the south of the Great Zhou, Dali, Jiaozhi, Siam and the like.

These countries and forces had little influence on the "world," and the staff of the young army did not have the ability to collect information about them, so they were all ignored by the staff of the Forces nouvelles for the time being.

For the next war, the General Staff gave Xu Shiyang two options:

First, of course, it is to continue to go north, and to fight with the Jurchen Tartars with one mind.

To this end, the General Staff has begun to work out a specific operational plan for the second attack on Gaizhou, or the first attempt to recover the state.

The commanders of the new army, who have expanded their forces a lot, really want to kill Yan Yinshuke and control the entire Liaodong Peninsula region.

Second, a part of the more insane officers is coveting a new target - the Koreans.

They suggested taking advantage of the superiority at sea to send troops in the name of eliminating the harassment of Goryeo pirates, and plundering Goryeo as they had done in the previous year's raid on Gaju.

The General Staff believed that this operation would go more smoothly than the Battle of Gaiju, and that the wealth that could be obtained would definitely be more abundant than that of Gaiju - at least 180,000 Goryeo slaves should be no problem.

Of course, many officers are also selfish.

In this era, the reputation of the Goryeo maid is famous all over the world, and the king of Goryeo has to pay tribute to 100 beauties of the Jin country every year, and the officers of the new army who are generally young and vigorous want to see whether the Goryeo maid is really as beautiful and lovely as the legend.
