Chapter 602: Public Opinion Offensive

In the 22nd year of Jiajing, the Jizhen army stationed in Guangning Wei gathered 15,000 soldiers and horses, and tried to attack the Huazhou army on the east bank of the Da Liao River.

After this battle, the two sides fell into a confrontation again, and the Ming army thought that the boundary of the Huazhou army's advance was based on this Daliao River, because it seemed that the Huazhou army could indeed not push further, and could only stay here, and indeed had no remaining strength.

The previous general, Qiu Feng, was promoted to the head of the cavalry regiment after two months, and was responsible for it alone, and the Ming cavalry who surrendered to Huazhou with him were all reassigned to various establishments after being broken up by the whole training, but this appointment to Qiu Feng is enough to reflect Huazhou's trust.

The cavalry regiment led by Qiu Feng is a new regiment according to Huazhou, that is to say, it is mainly a unit reorganized from the previous regimental training, not those veterans who are actually tested, but Qiu Feng is also very content, his appointment and transfer, there is nothing particularly important, and there is nothing deliberately suppressed, it is completely in accordance with the normal procedures to go down, a new officer who joined the Huazhou Army, gave him a new regiment, slowly honed, very usual.

However, what Huazhou Jun did made Qiu Feng's mood more stable, and if he paid too much attention to it or neglected it, it would make him suspicious.

He is also a seasoned general, experienced, for the Huazhou army to advance to the area of the Da Liao River will not move forward is also quite worried, thinking that this must be Huazhou's military strength is insufficient, so delay time, wait until the Ming army mobilizes enough strength, and may not say what the result will be, Qiu Feng is also dead, abandoned by the battle, trapped in the place of death, such a bitter feud he can not forget, often think, if the Ming army really hit, then fight with them, or go to the Guanwai, At this time, he was a bit of a bachelor.

Huazhou allowed those who were willing to return to Daming in Liaozhen to leave on their own, many people did not understand, but Qiu Feng felt that this was a very good policy.

He now has a little understanding of Huazhou, and he is very surprised that this force has been developing calmly around the Ming Dynasty for so long, and he is also secretly frightened, Liaozhen has decayed to a certain extent, and the surrounding situation is like a deaf and blind man, and the training is lax, the armament is corrupted, and there is no reason to be undefeated, Huazhou has accumulated for many years, and suddenly launched without warning. In one fell swoop, he defeated the Ming army of Liaozhen and quickly controlled three-quarters of the territory of Liaozhen, which was extremely successful.

The promulgation of the policy of "three public sevens" and "one hundred households drawing one hundred dings" quickly stabilized the situation, and this political skill can be regarded as clever, but now, such a big movement has made a fuss, and if it is pushed forward or stubbornly held, it will be a dignified battle of the army, and there is no suddenness.

Although Huazhou is currently unable to push further in the Great Liao River, Qiu Feng can also understand from a few words that Huazhou's ambition is the world, if you want to compete for the world, the current lack of troops is a problem, for the lack of troops, Qiu Feng always does not understand, why not adapt the surrendered elite of the Ming army into an army, although it is not as brave as the Huazhou army, but after training, it is still effective to deal with the Ming army in the pass, if you don't trust, then the cavalry and horse team that you surrendered with are all incorporated into the regular army.

There is also a problem that Huazhou is too strange for the vast majority of people in the Guannai, the territory is vast tomorrow, if you enter the Guannai, a simple military battle, you may be able to do it at the beginning, but then it will definitely fall into the quagmire, no matter how strong your soldiers are, no matter how sophisticated the weapons are, you can't always be vigilant everywhere, be careful everywhere, then it will be the same as when the Mongolian Tatars entered the customs, if you want to enter the customs smoothly and occupy those territories, but also quickly establish your rule after quelling the war, The support of the local landlords and gentry was needed.

But you Huazhou is still extremely unfamiliar to them, I don't know what kind of regime you are, I don't know what kind of attitude you have towards the landlords and gentry, how can you believe and accept or even surrender under this strangeness.

People always have a fear of unfamiliar things, if at this time, there are people who publicize what Huazhou is a gathering of chaotic people, ready to enter the customs and wantonly plunder, or Huazhou is the remnants of the White Lotus cult, ready to cause chaos in the world, the better way to plant the blame is to say that Huazhou is the instigation of the barbarians, if there is really such a situation, I am afraid that the whole world will have to fight against Huazhou with the same hatred, that is a big trouble.

Although these people may be detained and questioned by the Ming government and the Yamen, most of these people are officials and leaders of Liao Town, at least Guangningwei will not be embarrassed, that is to say, these people who voluntarily return to the Ming Dynasty will enter the customs all the way and enter the Beijing Division.

These people have come all the way, and at this time, the news of the fall of Liaozhen has already caused a sensation in the world, and everyone is curious about what Huazhou is and where the forces come from.

At least a few of the people who were released could not be denied, Huazhou was full of Han Chinese (the number of Mongols who entered the customs this time was compressed very low), the combat effectiveness was very strong, and they never plundered places, of course, if it was rumors, charges such as plundering places could still be fabricated.

However, more than 1,000 people were released to live in various health centers in Liaozhen, and they did not know each other, how could they have a unified voice, what they said, what they said, although it was all derogatory, but those who had a heart would inevitably analyze the results they wanted, and have a judgment on Huazhou.

Qiu Feng thinks about everything to the good, and takes it for granted that there are many people in the world, but all over the world, there are never fewer people who are mediocre and drifting with the tide, and there are few people who can clearly analyze the situation.

Of course, even if things don't develop in a good direction, Huazhou's intelligence department will let them develop towards the good, more than 1,000 people have gone all the way, and there are also many so-called scattered military households in Liao Town, after crossing the Great Liao River, it is often those who make some rumors, and those scattered military households who follow them pretend to be mysterious and tell the people below that these old men have suffered losses in Huazhou, so they say these words.

After these military households crossed the Da Liao River, the number of people accompanying the team became smaller and smaller, and many of them disappeared into the guards and towns, but at this time, many well-intentioned people sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they analyzed all kinds of news about Huazhou there, and came to many well-intentioned conclusions.

If you look closely, these well-intentioned people have come to the conclusion from the analysis of those rumors and rumors, but when the conclusion is reached, the rumors and rumors are often a few days away from this place, and of course, for the very curious people, this time difference is often ignored.

For the offensive of public opinion, Huazhou has always been willing to spend money and manpower, and at this time, this small means have an extremely great effect.

Because of the strong and preferential economic policies of the Huazhou Army, the recruitment and acceptance in Liaozhen were quickly calmed down, and occasionally some of them fell into the grass, and they were also quickly wiped out by those local regiments who were more familiar with the terrain and population than them, without setting off a little storm.

Speaking of which, since the surrender, the work that Qiu Feng has done is not so much a military general, but actually has more functions as a propaganda envoy, because he has not used any swords and guns at all, but has gone to great lengths to explain what Huazhou is and what are the benefits of surrendering Huazhou.

After the end of the tentative offensive of Guangningwei in the Great Liao River, it was about to be the New Year, but Qiu Feng was sent out, about to celebrate the New Year, on the day Qiu Feng surrendered, his family in Dingliao Zhongwei thought that Qiu Feng would not survive in the Huazhou army, and Li Gufeng, the general soldier of Liao Town, felt that he owed something to the Qiu family, and also focused on publicizing Qiu Feng's brave and loyal deeds.

No one thought that Liaoyang and Shenyang fell quickly, Qiu Feng actually reappeared in front of his family, and experienced life and death in just half a month, and the family was sad and happy, which was indeed not easy, so I wanted to spend the New Year together and have a good reunion.

But he didn't expect an order to drag him out of Nuan Yangyang's home, and led his 100 people to Zhenjiang Fort, Zhenjiang Fort has nothing to do with Zhenjiang, which locks the throat of the Yangtze River, this Zhenjiang Town is the Yalu River, and it is also the end of the side wall, Qiu Feng doesn't understand, what to do there.

When he walked to Kuandian, he found that this time he was actually on the same road as Huazhou General Liu Shisan, and he was a little unsure of what to do, and when he arrived in Kuandian, he was not a light horseman, there were more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in Huazhou, which surprised him even more, at this time the military strength was tense, and every soldier of the regular army was to be used on the blade, which was still a veteran of Huazhou.

Kuandian to Zhenjiang Fort is very close, after arriving, but found that Zhenjiang Fort is already a big construction site, many people are busy in full swing, what are you going to do?

Finally, Qiu Feng, who couldn't help it, asked Liu Shisan with some hesitation:

“…… General, are we going to fight North Korea? ”
