Chapter 374 Strategy

Jiujiang?

Zeng Guofan smiled knowingly, and casually disrupted the chess game: "Liewen's words are very satisfying to me, the thief is based on Jiujiang, then the river will be divided, Jiangxi and Hubei will not be one, the sailor is divided into two, I have Jiujiang, and I have to ...... upstream."

He has a deep pain in Jiujiang, and the Hunan army has been going downhill all year last year, and it was the battle of Jiujiang-Hukou in February last year that the entire Hunan army was divided into the inner lake water division and the outer lake water division-1-

If the Taiping army has Jiujiang for one day, then Jiangxi and Hubei provinces cannot settle for one day, and if the Hunan army has Jiujiang, it is Jiangxi and Hubei provinces that are united and hold the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

"Those who guard Jiujiang today, Lin Qirong, the east against Yang Xiuqing's old department, and the east against both punishments, then Lin Qirong will be thorned in the back, and our army can take the opportunity to attack Jiujiang, even if it loses three or five small cities on the border of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, it will not affect the overall situation."

Zeng Guofan said with confidence, but Zhao Liewen asked: "Lin Qirong, Guangxi is a real old thief, what if he is stubborn?" ”

Zeng Guofan said with a smile: "When Hubei is restored, then Hu Linyi can send elite soldiers to attack Jiujiang, Jiujiang is not defeated, Hubei is like a thorn in the back, can not be self-sufficient, with the strength of the two provinces, will not make Jiujiang District and a county?" ”

Zhao Liewen has already understood: "If I take Jiujiang, I will be pacified in Jiangxi and Hubei, and the upstream will hold my hand, although the red thief Nanxi will enter Jiangxi Province, there will be less than 10,000 soldiers, and it will not be a problem!" ”

"Therefore, the red thief has no foresight, and only knows that Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich and do not know the upstream points!" Zeng Guofan replied with satisfaction: "Since ancient times, according to Jinling, all of them are worried about Jingxiang, and the Cantonese bandits still know this reason, but the red thieves only know how to attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they will regret it when the time comes!" ”

……

Huzhou Mansion.

"Sixty-third Infantry Regiment?" Qu Jie took out Liu Chang and looked at it, and congratulated Zhu Hailan: "Congratulations, the number has come down." ”

"Sixty-third regiment?" Zhu Hailan asked, "Isn't there already sixty-one regiments in this division?" How is it not the sixty-second regiment. ”

"The number of the sixty-second regiment should have been given!" Qu Jie replied: "But the number is not important, the inspection point has ordered all of our division, except for leaving a reinforced battalion to stay behind, to march north into southern Jiangsu with the main force, annihilate the main force of the Qing army, win Su Chang, and hand over the defense of Huzhou to the second regiment!" ”

"Do you want the newly formed Huzhou Independent Battalion to go north together?" Zhu Hailan didn't understand the meaning of this order: "It's too thin to leave only one reinforced battalion?" ”

"This is an order for our master!" Qu Jie understood the convention of Liu Chang's order: "Although the Huzhou Independent Battalion is a big battalion and is based on the old department of Dongwang, after all, the newly formed troops will definitely stay in Huzhou, but Commander Zhu, the next battle in southern Jiangsu will rely on you more!" ”

"Of course, the number of the sixty-third regiment is a little lower." Zhu Hailan was still talking about the number of this infantry regiment: "Why is it that our wave is calculated from the beginning of the 60th, and there is a lot of shortage in the middle." ”

"What about the sixty-third regiment!" Juton interjected: "The Second Infantry Regiment, that is, the Teaching Regiment, what a good number, but it is still in the back for us to sweep it away." ”

"Watch out for the impact!" Qu Jie seemed to be criticizing, but his tone was like a reward: "How can the second regiment also be a formed unit of this division." ”

"But the second regiment can only be responsible for public security operations, but the newly formed sixty-first regiment and sixty-third regiment have to go to the battlefield to fight with the Qing demon real sword and real gun, Commander Zhu, don't care about the number, there are so many old backbones, your infantry regiment is definitely a first-class army."

Zhu Hailan didn't think so, she said: "The second regiment is not bad, it is specially responsible for public security operations, whether it is to conquer Hangzhou or Huzhou Mansion, it will belong to them." ”

"It's useless." Zhu Dun said: "Although the place is rich, they are also responsible for garrisoning, and the money is naturally responsible for the county and township officials. ...," it's a little more complicated. Zhu Hailan replied: "Our Heavenly Kingdom is a little financially chaotic, mainly because of tribute. ”

For example, Huang Wenjin was stationed in Huzhou Mansion, but the territory of Huzhou Mansion was taken down by Tan Shaoguang, and as a result, Huang Wenying actually did not dare to use the money and grain of Huzhou Mansion, but it was also a little chaotic and did not form a complete financial system.

Qu Jie said: "Our money has always had a charter, our first division was originally the first-class main force, and we will not be able to lack our money, food and ammunition at any time, now Guan Jian will take Su Chang down first." ”

Zhu Hailan was very enthusiastic: "We came from the north, and now we will fight back to the north, but if we go again, it is better to let us go forward!" ”

"Zhou Xiuying's cavalry is the vanguard, but ......" When Qu Jie just said this, Lin Mengchu outside had already run in and shouted: "Division commander! ”

Qu Jie immediately glanced at him: "Camp Commander Lin, you have to be calm, don't care about ......"

But Lin Mengchu said: "Division, the inspection is up!" ”

"What?" Qu Jie almost jumped up: "Isn't the inspection point in Hangzhou?" How did he come to Huzhou! ”

As soon as he said this, Liu Chang over there had already spoken: "This battle is related to the success or failure of the country, I can't help but personally command, does Division Commander Qu have any opinions?" ”

How dare Qu Jie have any opinions: "Check, you are the best to come up, but the two mothers, and Ye Niangniang?" ”

"They asked me to come up!" Liu Chang replied: "But it's also my opinion, if we win this battle, we will take advantage of the good places in the world, if we lose, I'm afraid even Hangjiahu will not be able to gain a foothold, such a good place, are you willing to give it to the Qing Demon?" ”

"Of course not!" The following cadres are very united about this matter: "This is ours!" ”

They marched into Ningshao before, and they were already shocked by the wealth of Ningshao and the two mansions, but after entering the Huzhou Mansion, they found that the Ningshao and Ningshao Mansions in this time and space were nothing in front of the Huzhou Mansion.

Therefore, such a territory must not be given to the Qing army, and Zhu Hailan even asked: "Check?" Su Chang is also as prosperous as Huzhou? ”

"Of course!" Liu Chang glanced at it and immediately asked, "This is Captain Zhu, right?" Sure enough, it's a heroine, amazing! ”

As soon as Zhu Hailan heard the title of this Zhu Regiment Leader, she knew that she had a firm foothold in the Hong Army: "Check, I am Zhu Hailan, I have dug the pond and carried the soil together with my eldest sister and Tinglan, if Huzhou is so prosperous, the East King will not send the Ninth Army to sweep the north!" ”

This is the first of the ten mistakes in the kingdom of heaven, Liu Chang immediately smiled and said: "Suchang Hangjiahu, but it is the most prosperous place in the world, but compared to Shanghai, it is still slightly inferior, but there are foreigners in Shanghai, we can't fight, we can only attack northern Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu." ”

Zhu Hailan was still shocked by Huzhou's wealth: "That's right, if I knew that southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang were prosperous to such an extent, I would just take a few rods from the king of the east, and I would also persuade the king of the east to take Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the south." ”

Dingdu Jinling instead of southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, in the successive dynasties of the secession regime, can not find a second, the closest is only the Southern Tang Dynasty that has not owned Zhejiang, Liu Chang smiled: "Commander Zhu is right, this is a good place, it should fall into our hands!" ”

His tone was full of confidence, and Juton added: "Check, we can take Su Chang Nanjing, we can garrison here for a few months, and expand the troops!" ”

"Your first division, excluding the second regiment, already has three infantry regiments!" Liu Chang directly vetoed Zhu Dun's proposal: "What troops still need to be expanded, after taking Nanjing, immediately transfer troops to Anhui and Jiangxi, and strive to go upstream!" "...,"Striving for the top?" It was the first time Qu Jie heard Liu Chang's strategic concept: "Upstream? ”

Liu Chang said quite confidently: "That's right, strive for the upstream, take Yangzhou, naturally trace the river upstream, and recover Jingzhou, don't you read Tongjian?" ”

At this moment, a group of officers are a little blushing, at most everyone has read the level of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and those who can read a few volumes of the Compendium and Easy to Know can be said to be rare, let alone read the Tongjian.

However, Zhu Hailan was born in a scholarly family, and she immediately said: "What the inspection said is very true, since ancient times, those who want to establish the southeast of the country have all sought to be thick and thick......

Liu Chang was very satisfied with Zhu Hailan's answer: "That's right, the southeast of the country is all based on Jingxiang as an upstream barrier. Since ancient times, there has been no loss of Jingxiang and can keep the southeast, there is no Sichuan in the southeast can still be established, if there is no Hubei, then the southeast can not be established. ”

This is a historical lesson, since ancient times to establish the southeast of the country, we must take Jingxiang as an obstacle, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fell because of the loss of the three cities of Wuchang, Jiujiang and Anqing, not to mention the current Hunan army to occupy the upper reaches, if Wuchang, Jiujiang, and Anqing are taken, the Hong army is in danger in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

When Qu Jie heard this, he immediately felt that he had read too little, and he said with a smile: "The inspection point is very true, now with the strength of the second brigade and the first brigade to fight 100,000 Qing demons, it is indeed a little thin, as long as Jiangnan is initially decided, our division can be transferred upstream." ”

Liu Chang was a little worried: "I'm worried about one thing now, Tianjing has not been restored, the Hunan army has already captured Anqing in the upper reaches, and the southeast is in danger, so I urge you to speed up the march, and all regiments and battalions are ready?" ”

Juton preemptively said: "Our dragon spear regiment is a force that can be pulled up at any time, invincible and invincible. ”

Zhu Hailan also said: "Our 63rd regiment can not only pull up, but also be the vanguard. ”

"Don't be careless!" Liu Chang said: "Our invasion of southern Jiangsu this time is just a division and a brigade as the backbone, less than 20,000 generals, there are as many as 20,000 monks and Shengbao, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the Jiangnan battalion, and the sixty-first regiment and the sixty-third regiment are all newly established regiments, and the Shengbao infantry team can still fight, if the monk and the king horse team gallop thousands of horses, it will be more difficult......"

He personally named Zhu Dun's name: "Commander Zhu, do you dare to fight with the monk king's horse team?" ”

ps: Tomorrow there will be an unprecedented 24-hour county-wide power outage in the local area, so I don't know when the call may come, I can only tell you, as long as the call comes, I will try my best to update, if the county-wide power outage lasts 24 hours, then there is a danger of interruption
