Chapter 473: Fang La's Princess Jinzhi
This is why Fang La went to Hangzhou to ask to see Zhang San, because Fang La wanted to leave, and only Zhang San agreed, and Zhang San did get the news as early as when he left Ryukyu and was about to go north, waiting for him here.
For Fang La, Zhang San has worked hard to investigate, to say that this person does have the capital to become a hero, not only does he have the capital to become a hero, but his nephew Fang Jie and son Fang Tianding are both super-first-class bravery, and his uncle Fang Yuan, younger brother Fang Maung and friend Baoguang Rulai Deng Yuanjue are all first-class martial arts. Another henchman, Lou Minzhong, is also quite talented in his chest.
This guy almost comes with the aura of the protagonist, this gorgeous configuration is many times better than Zhang San's start, Zhang San remembered that he started with a dog - or picked it up by himself, that miserable!
However, Zhang San also took advantage of Fang La, such as Wang Yin. For example, Shi Bao and the Li brothers who are about to vote, Li Tianyou among the Li brothers generally has limited ability, but Li Tianyan is indeed a great character, and the skills of a super-first-class general should be a rare talent.
Of course, among these people under Fang La, Zhang San dared to be most interested in Fang La's daughter Princess Jinzhi, although Fang La was more than ten years older than Zhang San, but he made his country a generation shorter, Zhang San was still very awkward.
But beauties can't do without, as long as they see it, there is still a reason to let it go, so this time Zhang San saw Fang La just hoping to leave this Jinzhi princess, this matter is also very simple, Fang La is also a hero, for the sake of the great cause, let alone a daughter, even his wife estimates that he is willing to do it.
In this way, Zhang San agreed to Fang La's request to go back and promised to transfer a batch of weapons to him at a low price, while leaving the Manichaean saint Fang Jinzhi as a liaison to liaise with the cooperation between Ryukyu and Manichaeism.
Fang La was not only not angry about Zhang San's proposal to let his daughter be the contact person, but even had a trace of joy and relief, and Zhang San also had a sense of satisfaction with seeing his son-in-law, which made Zhang San quite unhappy.
Fang La went to receive his team and returned to his hometown to start a business, Zhang San's things in Hangzhou really need to come up with the next plan, which was originally overfulfilled according to the original plan, but what people didn't expect was that Zhao Ji actually sent the forbidden army from the capital to come.
This is a bit troublesome, the 100,000 forbidden army is a big force, if Zhang San retreats directly, these forbidden troops will definitely stay in Jiangnan for a period of time, if they don't retreat, then Zhang San is really not sure in the face of the 100,000 forbidden army.
This also affected his third-step plan, because Zhang San's third-step was to occupy Yangzhou and cut off the canal, and such a large number of forbidden troops staying around was likely to have a significant impact on his plan.
Zhang San's opinion is to fight, and to fight seriously, without experiencing a big war, you can't cultivate a strong army, but the Great Song Dynasty is not a Japanese country, that kind of country is small and the people are widowed, if Zhang San dares to fight with the Great Song Dynasty outside Hangzhou, then in addition to the 100,000 foreign transfer forbidden army, Jiangnan can at least gather more than 100,000 troops to come out.
So everyone's opinions can't be unified for the time being, Zhang San looked at Xu Guanzhong, who was pretending to be asleep, and rolled his eyes, do all this kind of masters like this kind of style, and coughed helplessly and asked: "Chief of General Staff Xu, do you have any good suggestions?" ”
Xu Guanzhong heard what Zhang San meant, opened his eyes and said with a smile: "I'm thinking, and now there is an idea that is calculating the feasibility. ”
Zhang San asked with interest, "Oh? What's the solution? Why don't you say it and let everyone discuss it. ”
Xu Guanzhong smiled and said: "Half-crossed!" ”
Zhang San frowned and said: "Half-crossing and attacking is indeed the way to win, although the water network in Jiangnan is dense, but there are also many boats, and the river is narrow, it is impossible for the generals on the opposite side not to pay attention to this, no!" You're talking about the Yangtze River! ”
Zhang San stood up, turned around twice and said: "Exactly, we can work with the third step plan to attack half-crossing, occupy Yangzhou by taking advantage of the situation, cut off the canal, and force the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers to submit!" Sign a friendly contract! ”
The others also suddenly realized, yes, everyone focused their eyes on the vicinity of Hangzhou, thinking about how to find favorable terrain near Hangzhou, how to transfer more troops, and indeed forgot that the troops from Tokyo would definitely cross the Yangtze River.
As long as it is in the water, then the Ryukyus have an absolute advantage, and they will attack half-crossing! After the 100,000 forbidden troops were wiped out, it would take at least a month for Tokyo to organize an expedition of this magnitude, and that would be without cutting off the canal.
It is now the fourth month of the lunar calendar, and a month after the canal is cut off, it is the summer grain tax season, and without the money and grain from the south of the Yangtze River into Beijing, Tokyo may not be able to organize an army to conquer the Ryukyus, not to mention that the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia are fighting hotly.
As long as Zhang San cuts off the canal for two months, not only will the northwest front fall into a shortage of food, but even the food in Tokyo may not be enough to eat, and the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty will definitely not be able to support it at that time, which is also Zhang San's trump card.
These times are enough for Zhang San to get enough population from the south to enrich the Ryukyu and Luzon regions, and the two sides are in a peace talks, and everyone becomes a friendly country, so Zhang San's robbery of the population can be regarded as a turning page.
After determining the plan of the half-crossing attack, the general staff began to mobilize, and if they want to complete the plan of the half-crossing attack in Yangzhou, there are still many challenges to be overcome, first of all, the first point is how to do the troops so that they will not be discovered.
After everyone's efforts, we finally selected a place in the upper reaches of Zhenjiang, there is a Gaoqiao town in the upper reaches of Zhenjiang in 20 miles, the Yangtze River is divided into two channels in the north and south by a river center here, and the north channel silts up a concave lake and connects with the Yangtze River, but there is indeed a long slip of reeds in the middle to block, where can you hide troops in a short time.
There are very few ships passing through the north channel, but the problem is that there are many shoals in the north channel, and there is too much silt and sediment to make it inconvenient for large ships to enter and exit, so the ships participating in the battle this time can only be 2,000 stone warships.
As for the shoals, Ryukyu is mostly good at the water, and it is still very easy to send survey ships to find a channel, but after finding the anchorage, there is another problem, that is, it is impossible for Ryukyu sea ships to run anywhere in one day, and they can only run to the vicinity of Nantong in one night, but according to this idea, a similar place was found in the west of Nantong.
A day later, the advance party of the navy set out first, and they would complete the reconnaissance of those places and the dispersal of local personnel in five to ten days, and the main method was to mix up the river bandits.
At the same time, the troops in Hangzhou also began to move, this battle Zhang San planned to dispatch the Ryukyu nine-layer army, even if the sneak attack failed, and the Great Song Forbidden Army in Yangzhou face to face, if you win, you will cut off the canal to force the Great Song Dynasty to negotiate peace, and if you lose, you will sneak attack the coast, waiting for the next opportunity.
