In Dongwangfu, it was late at night, and Yang Xiaoshan was still studying countermeasures. Now that the military and political power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has been concentrated on him, this time is not a glory, but more of a responsibility as heavy as a mountain.

The oil lamp on the table was in a trance, and the candles had turned into a puddle, and the wicks of the candles burst from time to time, popping out a few sparks.

"Lord Wang, rest early." Su Qiaomei was by the side, serving the tea, her eyelids almost closed, and she woke up again in a blink of an eye by the candle.

"You go to sleep first, I'm thinking about it for a moment." Yang Xiaoshan waved his hand and said, now time is a race against every second, after all, the army will run out of food in more than thirty days.

Su Qiaomei stepped forward and obediently changed a candle for him, seeing Yang Xiaoshan's serious face, she couldn't bear to disturb, she sighed and walked out, it was already the second watch at this time.

Yang Xiaoshan's desk was full of official letters from various units to him, with information about his own army and the situation of the enemy army. There are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with outside Tianjing City. Yang Xiaoshan thought of his father-in-law Yang Xiuqing at this time, he was really a genius leader, and the Kingdom of Heaven relied on him to deal with all kinds of situations, and he carried the Kingdom of Heaven to victory alone. After Yang Xiuqing's death, the Kingdom of Heaven no longer had the courage of the year, even if he secretly helped Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng to conquer Sufu Province, such a Zhongxing was only a flash in the pan, and the Kingdom of Heaven no longer had the kind of spirit of forgetting life and death and the ambition to seize the world in the future.

The battle map left by Yang Xiuqing is still so careful, and the various terrains inside and outside Tianjing City are marked in great detail, although the enemy's deployment has changed now, this map is still very helpful for him to make a battle plan.

Yang Xiaoshan then looked at the combat map on the wall by candlelight, and went through every strategic point in his mind, the location of the enemy, and the position of our army.

After repeatedly observing the map, Yang Xiaoshan set his sights on the strategic point of Jiangxinzhou, saying that this Jiangxinzhou is a small island in the Yangtze River north of Nanjing, and it is also another important grain route in the heavenly kingdom in addition to Yuhuatai, but it is a pity that it is now in the hands of the Hunan army and is guarded by the Hunan army's naval division.

Yang Xiaoshan thought about it for a long time, the Yuhuatai Hunan army invested a lot of manpower here, that Zeng Guoquan put out an iron bucket formation, Li Xiucheng led an army of 200,000 and did not break through, and it is impossible to break through now. Now, if you want to open up the grain route, you can only seize Jiangxinzhou and conquer it to get grain from the banks of the Yangtze River and solve the food crisis in Tianjing City.

The next day, Yang Xiaoshan summoned all the major military generals of Tianjing to a meeting in the Dongwang Mansion.

"Jiang Xinzhou?" Almost everyone was a little surprised, because when the battle was fought, the naval army of the Heavenly Kingdom would have been wiped out long ago, and if you want to challenge the five thousand Hunan army sailors on Jiangxinzhou, you must have a ship.

"I know what everyone thinks, we don't have a single warship in Tianjing City. But that's okay, this time we're not going to fight them head-on, but we're going to sneak up and fight them hand-to-hand with small boats on their ships. Destroying their sailors and taking Jiangxinzhou is the goal of this operation. What's more, this is also the grain depot of the Hunan army, if we win this battle, we will get very rich. Occupying the strategic point of Jiangxinzhou, as long as we collect grain at double the price here in the future, some grain chambers of commerce will take the initiative to send grain over. The food crisis in Tianjing will also be greatly alleviated. Yang Xiaoshan analyzed the powerful relationship for everyone.

The generals were moved by Yang Xiaoshan's battle plan and began to become interested.

"King Dong, although this Jiangxinzhou is good, what if other teams of the Hunan army come to reinforce it? In particular, the field army of Duolonga and Bao Chao is known as Duolong Baohu, and our Taiping Army suffers from it, and I am afraid that it will not be able to stop it. Li Xiucheng thought carefully and put forward his own ideas. Duo Bao's strength is extraordinary, and Chen Yucheng can't win against such a fierce general, which shows that the strength of the two is quite strong in the Hunan army.

"This king has also considered this problem, this time this king will lead troops to fight with it in the south of the city, when we hand it over here, you will raid Jiangxinzhou in the north of the city, and come to attack the east and the west. As long as this king drags down Duo Bao and the two of them, you can rest assured that you will go all out to capture Jiang Xinzhou. Yang Xiaoshan decided to go into battle himself and come to meet the two strongest people in the field in the Hunan army.

"King Dong, I'll go to the south of the city with you, Duolonga and Bao Chao are very good at fighting, especially Bao Chao is quite good at fighting, our army saw his military flag, and many people were a little afraid and unwilling to fight with him." Li Xiucheng didn't want Yang Xiaoshan to take risks, so Mao recommended himself to help him.

"The important thing this time is not this king, the key point is in Jiang Xinzhou. The others are not at ease when they go to this king, you have to personally lead the team to capture Jiang Xinzhou. "This battle must be fought not only in the south of the city, but also in the north of the city, and the others Yang Xiaoshan has no bottom in his heart, Li Xiucheng is still relieved.

"King Hang, this time you have to rely on the strength of your naval army. I'll give you a month to build 2,000 small windsurfing boards in the city, and then I'll take my brothers across the river. Jiang Xinzhou is only a few hundred meters away from the land, and our small windsurfing board can go through. If you rush to Jiangxinzhou, you have to transport the grain back from above. What's wrong with you? Yang Xiaoshan greeted Tang Zhengcai.

Tang Zheng, the king of navigation, was recruited into the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom by Yang Xiaoshan, and he was very confident in Yang Xiaoshan. Since the navy's warships were wiped out, he, the chief in charge of the navy, couldn't hold his head up in front of others, although he was very hungry, he didn't dare to ask for more military rations, for fear of being said by others to eat white rice.

"King Dong, leave it all to me, the brothers are suffocated to death, just waiting for this day. It is incumbent upon our brothers to contribute to the kingdom of heaven. Tang Zhengcai said excitedly.

Yang Xiaoshan patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Tianjing City is fully supplying you with wood, even if the door panel is removed, you will have to build a few more boats, you find a few places in the Qinhuai River to make a manufacturing workshop, and this king will send someone to send you all the materials you need." ”

"King Dong, we must rush day and night to live up to the trust of King Dong." Tang Zhengcai arched his hand.

"The sailors of the Hunan army are not idle people, and the burden on your body is not light, you must be careful and careful, the victory or defeat is here." Yang Xiaoshan is not sure of winning in his heart, although he has calculated this battle very carefully, but the plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, and he is also gambling. In case you can get lucky enough to take Jiang Xinzhou, although you can't talk about turning the tables, at least you can drag on for a long time by relying on this water grain road. After that, as long as several other reinforcements can arrive in time, and then there is an internal and external attack, this Tianjing can still be saved.

Yang Xiaoshan could only plan here now, and in the following month, Tianjing City became a large military camp. Everyone mobilized, training the soldiers, making weapons, and building ships, just waiting to fight with the Hunan army outside the city again.
