Chapter 598: Start

"Is this a struggle for the strategic initiative?"

After Yang Mu learned the news, he finished discussing with the minister and the general, and looked at the map alone and muttered to himself.

If it is said that it was invaded from the border before, then on the long border line, in the face of the huge military superiority of the two dynasties of Daqing and Datong, the defensive army of the Dacang Dynasty may be a little weaker, and I don't know where to start defending.

So now, the Dacang army is completely different, because the arrangement of military strength has become clear, their respective defense and offense can be completely calm.

To give a simple example, the power of the red-coated cannon is obvious to all, if it is in pursuit of the enemy, it may not be so useful, but if it is to defend, then within five miles, even if it is ten miles, as long as it is within the firing range, the army of the Dacang Dynasty can take the initiative and have a very large artillery advantage.

It can be said that compared with the armies of the eliminated vassal states in the past, the armies of the two dynasties actually did not have much advantage, the difference was that there were more elite soldiers and strong generals in the army, the theoretical guidance was stronger, and the patriotic beliefs of the soldiers were firmer.

In terms of weapons and equipment, in fact, the two dynasties did not have any major advantages, but the iron weapons in the army were much more common, the soldiers were more equipped, and the mainstream weapon styles still did not change much.

Compared with those vassal states in the past, the two dynasties still have some disadvantages, that is, they are too unfamiliar with the environment of the Dacang Dynasty, including language and writing, the development differences of hundreds of years can not be eliminated, and the Dali Dynasty and the Dahong Dynasty have not had much contact in the past few hundred years, so it is very inconvenient in terms of transportation, and there is nothing to be done at once.

Therefore, the armies of the two dynasties will attack so eagerly, because the longer the stalemate of the war, the more unfavorable it will be to the two dynasties, and the army will be like stuck in a quagmire and unable to extricate itself.

Although over the years, the Dahong Dynasty has been completely destroyed and annexed by the two major dynasties, the real situation is that after the fall of the Dahong Dynasty, many people loyal to the homeland and royal families from all over the country have raised troops to resist the rule of the two dynasties and seek to restore the country.

In these years, the rule of the two dynasties in the areas they occupied was not benevolent, and they were often suppressed by force, making the people miserable, and finally waiting for the war to stop but did not get cultivation, but continued to support the armies of the two dynasties to support their war against the Dacang Dynasty.

It can be said that there are rebellions everywhere, and it is not an exaggeration to say that bandits are rampant.

In this case, the two dynasties naturally hoped for a quick victory, so this time the two armies discussed the time and sent troops together to launch a fierce attack, wanting to repeat the original drama of dividing up the Dahong Dynasty.

This time, though, they were doomed.

After receiving the news, the various war machines of the Dacang army were planned and arranged, such as the red-coated cannons, each legion has a number of hundreds, and the war weapons such as catapults and crossbow chariots have been polished and maintained very well, just waiting for the enemy's actions.

For example, in today's discussion, Yang Mu's main issue is to discuss how the counties will cooperate next.

The cooperation mentioned here is not only the supply of grain and grass materials, but also includes the mobilization of the war, and then once the front-line army wins the war, then it must be prepared for a counteroffensive, not to mention attacking the territory of the two major dynasties, at least in the main forces of the Dacang Dynasty, they must not let go and be completely annihilated here.

In this way, the vitality of the two dynasties will definitely be greatly damaged, and the Dacang Dynasty cannot stop there, but must maintain small-scale friction with each other, so that when the national strength is strong a few years later, there will be a legitimate excuse for counterattacking, and at the same time, it is constantly wearing down the strength of the two dynasties, killing multiple birds with one stone.

It's not that Cangguo will not consume national strength because of this, but the dynasty and the army have always had a very big characteristic, that is, it is difficult to return, if a country and a dynasty have been in a state for a long time, then it is difficult to turn the direction all of a sudden, what is a big breakthrough, such as Daqing and Datong, when the time comes, in the face of the strong rise of the Dacang Dynasty, even if you want to catch up with the Dacang Dynasty in the growth of national strength, it is doomed to be in vain.

Unless there is a series of major favorable reforms in the country, so that there is a slight opportunity, otherwise, there is almost no such possibility.

In terms of the size of the two major dynasties, even if there is any strong means of stimulation, it is estimated that there is not much possibility, after all, the territory of a dynasty is too big, and under the political system of hundreds of years, the domestic forces are also complicated, and there will inevitably be some unavoidable contradictions, even if it is a good national policy for the benefit of the country and the people, if it is to be implemented, it is estimated that it will take a few years, not just two or three years to see the effect.

The Dacang Dynasty is not afraid of consumption, and the Dacang Dynasty has enough confidence in the future, which is not only confidence in military science and technology, but also in the political system and domestic decrees and policies, and the vitality of the state machine.

What Yang Mu discussed with the ministers was how to drag the two dynasties into the quagmire, and what he discussed with the generals was how to deal with the remaining armies of the two countries after the war.

Assertive!

It's a very powerful self-confidence!

Yang Mu and the ministers and generals knew very well in their hearts that a country with vitality was capable of resisting the armies of the two major dynasties.

After reading the map, Yang Mu didn't care about it and went straight to the Wanshou Palace to rest.

The rest of the things, including the specific implementation, will naturally be handled properly by the yamen of the various ministries, and there will be no mistakes.

At the beginning of October, the expected offensive came.

Since there was a movement of troops and horses on both sides beforehand, it was easy to detect, so the generals and commanders of both sides understood the general military objectives of the localities.

This advantage is especially obvious in the Dacang army.

For example, the Qilin Legion, this time it is still targeting the army of the Daqing Dynasty.

The so-called snake hits seven inches, the strength of the two dynasties is about the same, if one of them is completely pressed, then in the interior of the two dynasties, there will be some dirty, the army of the Daqing Dynasty will be defeated, or the Daqing army will suffer heavy losses, then the Daqing Dynasty will assess this war, and then as long as the two dynasties have different ideas, there are differences in the alliance and attack, so that each has a gap, then the war Dacang Dynasty will win.

This time, the Daqing army was angry.

It seems that we are not the only ones attacking the Dacang Dynasty, right?

The Daqing army had already suffered heavy losses last time, and this time it came?

Although the strength of the Qilin Army is not much, compared to the two or three million troops of the Daqing Dynasty, there are only 300,000, which seems to be a huge difference, but these 300,000 Qilin Army is like a sharp knife and blade, which can penetrate the chest of the Daqing Army at any time.

……

……

Let's talk about it, there are a lot of things going on these days, and I have to be busy picking up the car, so it's a little slower.

Don't worry, there is a car loan to press, it is impossible for a eunuch.

Next, it's not too much of a problem to do one chapter a day.

Thank you for your forgiveness, thank you for your support!
