If it weren't for the fact that he happened to be the deputy commander of the 15th Infantry Division, and it happened that the 15th Infantry Division was preparing to enter the Goryeo Peninsula to fight, he would definitely not have had the opportunity to become the commander of the main infantry division.

Kang Gaozhi, who took a shortcut to get up, was naturally unwilling to be the commander of the main infantry division for a few months, and then he was beaten into the cold palace!

If he wants to avoid this, then he must fight beautifully in the first battle on the peninsula, and it is not enough to fight beautifully, he also has to make some other options that can add points to himself, such as the follow-up elimination of the remnants of the resistance.

Otherwise, even if he led the troops to win the remnants of the Puppet Ming Hui King, but to be honest, this is actually a lot of credit, because in terms of the strength of the Tang Army, if a main infantry division is on the field, if it can't kill the 20,000 remnants of the Puppet Ming Hui King, then he, the division commander, can commit suicide.

Winning the battle, that is his duty, and it is not a plus, and the boss will definitely not give him a high look at this because of this, because this kind of battle, any general from the Imperial Academy can win!

If you want to win, you have to win beautifully, and you have to get extra points!

For this reason, in the past few days, Kang Gaozhi has been busy reorganizing the troops and discussing the follow-up battle plan, and on the other hand, he is also preparing the follow-up clean-up plan.

The expected crossing of the river and the battle of Liujing were prepared by the divisional staff team and other middle and senior officers, and as long as Kang Gaozhi did not make a fool, then there would basically be no problems, so he also put more energy on how to solve the problem of encircling and suppressing local resistance forces.

After several days of hard thinking and meditation, he finally designed the plan and submitted it to the military department.

Strictly speaking, the plan he formulated is not a purely military plan, because it also corresponds to the policy of the cabinet!

In the plan, he put forward several ideas, the first is the problem of the treatment of prisoners, he suggested that after the battle, if the prisoners are the remnants of the puppet Ming Hui King, then after rectification, ordinary prisoners can be organized in the local area to serve as an important component of future immigrants.

But if the captives were local aborigines, he suggested that they should be taken to the northeastern border for reclamation and avoid being released on the spot.

In addition, immigrants should be organized from within the country, and the early immigrants should be mainly young and strong men, so that these early immigrants can serve as an important part of the local militia, and the militia organization in the four provinces of the Goryeo Peninsula can be completed quickly.

Subsequently, in order to ease the relationship with the local aborigines, but also to strengthen the natives' sense of identity with the Tang Empire, and at the same time to further reduce the number of local indigenous young people, he established a follow-up to recruit a large number of indigenous young men to join the army, these indigenous young men and the reserve division soldiers recruited from the mainland, mixed into two or three reserve divisions, and then sent these reserve divisions to Hebei and Shanxi to the deep defense line, and the local reserve divisions to change defenses, and strive to exchange two reserve divisions from the interior into the Goryeo Peninsula.

The reason why the reserve division was stationed on the Goryeo Peninsula was because there were only 16 main infantry divisions of the Tang Army, and it was impossible for them to be stationed on the Goryeo Peninsula all the time to take up the task of local ammunition suppression.

Every main infantry division of the Tang Army is a strategic mobile force, and it is not their task to bomb and suppress places, it is the task of the reserve division.

With two reserve divisions, a militia formed by immigrants from the interior, and a cantonment regiment formed by the remnants of the puppet Myeong-hye king's captives, it is expected that the army will be able to maintain a sizable number of local ammunition forces on the Goryeo Peninsula over the next three years.

At the same time, in response to the Cabinet policy, soldiers should be encouraged to marry local wives as much as possible, and strive to allow them to settle down in the Goryeo Peninsula directly after retiring from the army.

As for the encirclement and suppression work in the early stage, he did not mention much, but unified his opinion with the military department, and after taking the two important cities of Liujing and Seoul, the follow-up is to divide the troops to conquer all the cities, and then garrison them on the spot to ensure that there are troops stationed in every major city.

When attacking various cities, the local indigenous garrisons should be annihilated or captured as much as possible, so as not to ignore them after being defeated.

And at the same time waiting for the arrival of the troops of the domestic reserve division!

After the arrival of the reserve division troops, they began to go to the countryside to clear and suppress, and at the same time cooperate with the cabinet to establish local yamen at the town and village levels, organize immigrants, and prepare for the establishment of local militias, etc., to ensure that the Tang Empire's rocks extend to every corner of the Goryeo Peninsula.

Kang Gaozhi's report was very detailed, and although he did not say much about purely military issues, but more about political issues, this report quickly attracted the attention of the military headquarters of the Sixth Army, and it didn't take long for this report to start heading straight for Jinling on a communications ship.

This report will be sent back to the Privy Council as a reference for the military bigwigs!

However, Kang Gaozhi didn't know that the last person to read this report would be Li Xuan, the Son of Heaven!

It's just that when Li Xuan saw this report, it was already half a month later, so let's not mention it for the time being!

Let's say that after Kang Gaozhi finished writing the report, his troops were also ready.

Seeing that the preparations were completed, and the time was almost up, he finally ordered the troops to move out and go straight to the Yalu River!

Along the way, in addition to many military supplies such as ordnance, weapons, and food, his troops also carried a large number of tools needed to build pontoon bridges.

Behind his more than 15,000 people, there is also a militia of more than 20,000 people!

These people are directly recruited from the local area, but although it is said to be a conscription, these people are very happy, because since the Tang Dynasty occupied Jiangnan, the financial situation has greatly improved, and it is about to unify the world. Anyway, you don't pay for free work without food!

Naturally, there are many complaints that have resulted from this!

And now, the holy monarch is in the court, and the Tang Dynasty governs the country with benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety as the basic creed, which naturally reflects the benevolent side, so now the people are recruited, and they are all packed with food and drink, and sometimes the military has plenty of money, or it is a busy agricultural season, and a certain amount of wages will be issued.

Now these more than 20,000 people who follow behind the 15th Infantry Division are all covered with food and drink, and they can also receive additional rice and grain as wages.

In these years, it is not easy for ordinary people to have enough to eat, and every year just to be able to eat every day, there are countless poor children who want to join the army.

These people heard that they would eat and drink, and that they would give extra rice and grain every month so that they could take them home, and there was a reason for their reluctance!

The more than 20,000 people will be responsible for the main material transportation task of the 15th Infantry Division entering the peninsula in the future, but after entering the peninsula, Kang Gaozhi will consider letting the more than 20,000 people go home, and then he will directly recruit the local indigenous people to transport materials on the spot.

The reason is very simple, it costs money to recruit domestic people, and it is much cheaper to recruit indigenous transportation, at most give them a ton of food a day.

Although the army has more than 20 million yuan in military spending, it is also quite tight to maintain a huge regular army and reserve divisions.

More than 15,000 troops and 20,000 people set off, if this is written in the traditional Spring and Autumn penmanship, it is an army of 30,000, rounding it off, an army of 50,000 is proper!

Therefore, when Kang Gaozhi's army set off, he was always worried that the Tang Army would come over, and sent the puppet Ming Huiwang who was scouting on the other side of the Yalu River to guard, and soon learned from the spies on the front line that the puppet Tang thief army had come over, a full 50,000 army!

After hearing this news, the young man of the pseudo-Ming Hui King was not too surprised!

When he ran from Liaodong to the Goryeo Peninsula, he expected that the puppet Tang thief army would kill him, and the remaining suspense was when to come and how many people came.

50,000 troops, it seems that there are much fewer than when they attacked Liaodong, when Liaodong was in the first battle, the puppet Tang thief army alone had tens of thousands of regular troops, plus the people of logistics supplies, more than 100,000 people.

However, although it is 50,000 people, but it is also to make the generals of the remnants of the puppet Ming Hui King frightened, although the puppet Tang thief army that came this time is 50,000, much less than the original attack on Liaodong, but they themselves don't have many people now, and the full fight is only 20,000, the only thing that can comfort them is that when they fled, they took more cavalry away, and there were 3,000 horsemen.

However, it was impossible to resist the attack of the puppet Tang thief army by relying solely on cavalry, which had been confirmed in the Liaodong Campaign.

At that time, when the puppet Tang thief army attacked Liaodong, in addition to his own troops with 5,000 cavalry, the puppet Ming Hui King also had 15,000 cavalry from the Mongols such as Duoyan Sanwei and Chahar to help in the battle!

As a result, the puppet Tang thief army fought steadily, all the way to Liaodong Town, that is, a cavalry battle in the Liaohetao area, as a result, the cavalry of 5,000 Tatars to help the battle was killed by the 2,000 cavalry of the puppet Tang thief army, and after this battle, those Tatar cavalry ran away when they saw the puppet Tang thief army!

And the most infuriating thing is that in the original cavalry confrontation, the cavalry of both sides did not carry out the previous hedging operations at all, and those pseudo-Tang cavalry were particularly insidious, when the Tatar generals thought that the two sides would conduct a regular, brave saber hedging battle!

The cavalry of those pseudo-Tang thieves actually dismounted and fought directly, and then pulled out the artillery, and used cavalry field guns, flintlock pistols and pistols to directly lay down the five thousand Tatar cavalry that charged, and then turned over and mounted their horses to pursue, killing more than one-third of the five thousand Tatar cavalry killed and wounded!
