Fuzhou City Government Hall

Qin Zhan, Shi Fu, Feng Ting, and Zhang Ying gathered together to hold a military conference to conquer Guangdong.

In this meeting, Fang Yuan hid behind the lobby to observe, and the person who presided over the lobby was Qin Zhan. The three generals saw Qin Zhan presiding over the military meeting, but they didn't see Fang Yuan's shadow, they already understood it, and they didn't need Qin Zhan to make another statement, and they knew who the commander of the expedition to Guangdong was this time.

No matter Shi Fu and Feng Ting, they were not convinced that Qin Zhan, a layman, would be the commander. When a layman came to command them to conquer Guangdong, didn't he make it clear that he wanted to rob them of their military exploits and rewards? Besides, Qin Zhan had committed a major mistake before and was dismissed, but now it has come to everyone's heads again, it is obviously unfair rewards and punishments! But these selfish intentions cannot be made public, and they can only choose to remain silent and respond with silence.

Because Zhang Ying is a newcomer, he does not have the deep resistance of the second general, and he is still thinking in his heart, maybe it is still an opportunity to fly up in a rocket.

Qin Zhan took in the expressions of the three of them, the generals in charge of the governors were the duties of the governor of Fujian and Guangzhou, Fang Yuan could not overstep his responsibilities, everything depended on Qin Zhan's ability. Otherwise, Fang Yuan would be able to settle for him for a while, and after Fang Yuan left, he still wouldn't be able to play.

Qin Zhan knew that the burden had to be on his shoulders and could not be pushed on Fang Yuan, so he said loudly, "Generals, I did make mistakes before, but now that I am the acting governor of Fujian and Guangzhou, I still need to be treated by you." ”

Shi Fu and Feng Ting looked at each other, and the governor of Fujian and Guangzhou was a non-permanent governor, and it was not clear what the intention of setting up this governor of Fujian and Guangzhou was.

Qin Zhan continued, "I am an expert in being an official, and you are a layman, so I am better than you in asking Governor Fang for merit rewards and job promotions. ”

Qin Zhan's words were on their minds, neither Shi Fu nor Feng Ting were the top generals of the Xuanjia Army, let alone Fang Yuan's henchmen, and even Feng Ting was repeatedly punished by Fang Yuan. If they want to make progress, they really have to rely on Qin Zhan, Fang Yuan's henchman.

Qin Zhan saw that the generals' resistance had eased slightly, and said, "Now I have asked for a few official positions for the generals. Shi Fu was appointed as the commander of the Nanyang Naval Division, in charge of the Fujian and Guangzhou Naval Division; Feng Tingguan was reinstated and continued to serve as the chief soldier of Fujian, leading Fujian military affairs; Zhang Ying, appointed as the chief soldier of Guangdong, led the military affairs of Guangdong. ”

Of the three military positions he gave, two were real positions, given to Shi Fu and Feng Ting.

Shi Fu was the deputy commander of the Xuanjia Army Naval Division before Shi Fu, and he enjoyed the treatment of the deputy commander-in-chief. Now that the Admiral of the Navy Division has been promoted, although this position is not as high and powerful as the Admiral of the Navy Division in the Manchu Dynasty, it is also a position at the level of the general army, which can be regarded as a promotion.

Feng Ting was already guilty, and being able to be reinstated so quickly could be regarded as a benefit that Qin Zhan sold to him.

The two glanced at each other, whether Qin Zhan had military ability or not was second to them, the important thing was that Qin Zhan could fight for them for glory and wealth, and seal his wife and son, which was enough. Their task is only to lead the troops to fight, follow Fang Yuan, or what difference can Qin Zhan make?

The two of them bowed down to Qin Zhan, which could be regarded as recognition and obedience to Qin Zhan's command.

Qin Zhan also gave Zhang Ying a false position, that is, the Guangdong General Army, Guangdong has not yet been captured, where did the Guangdong General Army come from?

Qin Zhan looked at Zhang Ying and said, "Zhang Ying, this false position is a promise to you, as long as you conquer Guangdong, you will be the general army of Guangdong." You and I are both the governors of Fujian and Guangzhou and the commanders of Guangdong with empty names, and only by capturing Guangdong can we truly justify our reputation! ”

Zhang Ying, a newcomer, even though he has made great contributions, is also ranked in the army, and he would never have dared to think of being promoted to the post of chief soldier before. Only with the emerging regime of the Xuanjia Army, and a leader who is willing to promote his subordinates, will there be this kind of rocket-like promotion.

Zhang Ying had something else to say, and said half-kneeling, "The last general is willing to be a pioneer and go to Guangdong!" ”

Qin Zhan saw that the three of them were convinced, so he got back to business, "When it comes to military affairs, I am really a layman, and you are an insider." A layman can't command an insider, and the military plan for the expedition to Guangdong, you guys will talk about it. ”

He asked the map to be unfolded, and at the same time, Fang Yuan, who was behind the lobby, also unfolded the map on the table.

In the past few months of Fang Yuan's conquest of Taiwan, Qin Zhan still made Jinyiwei do enough work, originally wanted to ask Fang Yuan for credit, but he never thought that now it came in handy, "The richest Guangzhou Mansion in Guangdong, to the east is Huizhou Mansion and Chaozhou Mansion, to the north is Shaozhou Mansion, and to the west is Zhaoqing, Gaozhou, Lianzhou, Leizhou, Qiongzhou, and Luoding Prefecture. ”

Shi Fu said, "From Fujian to Guangdong, if you take the land route is a delay, it is better to land by sea and you can succeed in a battle!" ”

Qin Zhan asked, "Take the sea route, which prefecture should I land from?" ”

Shi Fu pointed to the map and said, "The best landing point is the city of Guangzhou in Guangzhou Prefecture, and if you occupy Guangzhou Prefecture, you can cut Guangdong into three parts: east, west, and north, and you can't support each other, and our army can break through them one by one." ”

Feng Ting also said, "Yes, after occupying Guangzhou Mansion, we will march in three ways, all the way to the north to capture Shaozhou Mansion, all the way to the east to capture Huizhou and Chaozhou, and all the way to the west to capture Zhaoqing, Gaozhou, Lianzhou, Leizhou, and Qiongzhou. ”

Qin Zhan looked at Shi Fu and Zhang Ying, and Shi Fu said, "Seconded!" ”

Zhang Ying also said, "Seconded! ”

Since the three of them all spoke the same caliber, this plan could be regarded as passed, so Qin Zhan made a decision, "Okay!" We will divide our troops into three ways and take Guangdong in the shortest possible time! ”

The next question is who should be the master of these three paths.

Fang Yuan was thinking about the candidate in his mind, and Qin Zhan had already opened his mouth to assign the task, "The one who is in charge of the overall situation in Guangzhou Mansion is naturally the old Chen Commander. ”

Shi Fu is only good at water warfare, not land warfare, Qin Zhan's arrangement, he has nothing to say.

Qin Zhan continued to arrange military tasks, "All the way to the east, there are Huizhou and Chaozhou prefectures bordering Fujian. The connection between these two prefectures and Fujian is closer than that of the five western prefectures, and as long as the two prefectures are cut off from the other prefectures, the two prefectures can be passed on to the other prefectures. It's up to me to take over the way. ”

"All the way to the north is the north of Guangzhou Mansion, as well as Shaozhou Mansion, this mansion is Fujian Hokkien language family, Feng Zongbing must be familiar with the people's customs and people's conditions, this way to Feng Zongbing, will definitely win without a fight."

Fang Yuan listened to Qin Zhan's arrangement, and he couldn't stop laughing. Shaozhou Mansion is mainly adjacent to Jiangxi and Huguang, and at present, Jiangxi Zuo Liangyu is too busy to take care of himself, and Huguang Li Zicheng is negotiating an alliance with our army, and it is impossible to send reinforcements. Shaozhou Mansion is within easy reach, and this strategic goal is just right for Feng Ting.

Fang Yuan smiled with satisfaction, Qin Zhan's judgment of Feng Ting was in one sentence, he could only fight a smooth battle, he could not gnaw hard bones, and handed over the Shaozhou Mansion, which was almost bound to fall, to Feng Ting, and it was to make the best use of his talents. Of course, on the surface, you can't say that, you can only talk nonsense about Hokkien and other reasons.

Feng Ting was defeated in consecutive battles and needed a victory to boost his reputation and prestige, so he did not raise any objections to Qin Zhan's arrangement.

Qin Zhan continued, "All the way to the west, there are poor mountains and bad waters, and it is close to Guangxi. When these officials in Guangdong are exhausted, they will inevitably ask Guangxi for help. Zhu Hengjia, the king of Jingjiang who sat in Guilin, Guangxi, was the king of the Ming Dynasty, and since the imperial court ordered the provinces to go their own way, he has controlled the entire territory of Guangxi. Whether this King of Jingjiang will send troops to rescue is an unknown number, and it cannot be guarded against. ”

"The road to the west is definitely a tough battle, and it is also related to the key to the success or failure of this conquest of Guangdong. Along the way, I will hand it over to the brave and combative General Soldier Zhang. ”

He put the heaviest burden on Zhang Ying, which is actually the importance of Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying did not shirk either, and after giving up his hand, he suddenly said, "Governor Qin, there is a very strong army in Guangxi, and you can't help but guard against it!" ”

Qin Zhan really didn't know what powerful army there was in Guangxi, so he hurriedly asked for advice.

Zhang Ying said slowly, "It's the Guangxi wolf soldiers!" ”
