Although he has always been in the southwest, as one of the leading figures in the military circles of the three feudatories, Gao Wangshan has never relaxed his attention to the military circles of Great Germany.

He also pays a lot of attention to a rising star like Jia Min who is rising rapidly in the military world.

Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, and Wei Ruolan, as Jia Min's most important right and left hands, are naturally also in Gao Wangshan's attention.

Now that Song Kuan raised such a question, Gao Wangshan immediately paid attention to it.

"Could it be that Jia Min still has some backhand?"

"Jia Min once went to France and stayed there for more than two years. His firearms only appeared after he returned from France. Now Beihai can make those firearms on its own. ”

"In addition, there are also sailors in Beihai, and Jia Min came from the water this time. Therefore, I estimate that Feng Ziying and Chen Yejun should be at sea at this time. ”

"If they're at sea, it's going to be a bit of a problem. They always have the option to land in a lot of places. Tianjin Wei, Weihaiwei, and a little further away, even Songjiang and Quanzhou are possible. ”

I have to say that Gaowangshan is still very insightful.

"It's possible, but if they do, the shortcomings are obvious. That is, to go deep alone, and then supply will become a problem. Firearms are not like bows, arrows, and swords, and gunpowder and projectiles are difficult to obtain locally. It is impossible for them to carry much gunpowder and projectiles with them on long journeys. ”

"In any case, it's better to take precautions. Squire in the middle of the squire. ”

A squire came in.

"After the order, ports and wharves in various places are strictly guarded, and sailors patrol more and strictly check the ships coming and going. Orders were issued to local governments and garrisons to strictly control gunpowder and projectile soldier workshops and strictly prevent the outflow of fireworks. ”

The squire went out to convey Gao Wangshan's order, and came back after a while.

"Two adults, the newspaper just arrived urgently."

"What was written?"

"The inscription of the Beihai Volunteers."

"Beihai Volunteers?"

Song Kuan couldn't help but smile bitterly after reading the text.

From this article, he clearly saw the style of "Beihai Weekly".

"Beihai Volunteers, this is the first time I've heard of it, Jia Min is really famous."

"Hmph, this Jia Min is too arrogant. Who's in the way and who's fighting? Whoever disagrees will be beaten, and whoever is not pleasing to the eye will be beaten, and he will beat whoever he calls. ”

Gao Wangshan was a little enraged.

Jia Min has the confidence to say these words. However, he did be a little arrogant. It's time to teach him a lesson. ”

Song Kuan said unhurriedly.

"What is the opinion of the prince?"

"Jia Min's army is well-equipped and well-trained. We have to admit that. However, his Achilles' heel is that there are few people. At this point, we have the advantage. ”

"Second, most of the North Sea is a plain area, and most of the cavalry of the South Wendura and North Wendura people are also good at fighting on the plains. Their weakness is siege. Although Jia Min had achieved brilliant results in Windula before, he had fought as a cavalry on the plains, and he had never had a decent siege battle. ”

"What does the prince mean that we mainly defend the city?"

"Yes, the walls of Shengjing City are solid, Shengjing to the west, Ningyuan, Songshan Fort, Jinzhou, the city defense is strong, and Shanhaiguan is even more impregnable. As long as these fortresses are held, Jia Min will be unable to fulfill his wish if he wants to drive straight into the pass. ”

"Okay, I will send a message to General Ningguta, telling him to hold on and not to fight lightly. The soldiers and horses of the Guannai Zhili also allocated a part of it to go for reinforcements. Goryeo told them to take strict precautions. ”

"Goryedo is a mountainous and hilly land, and the Tatar cavalry is difficult to use there, so they also rely on holding on. Wait for change. After a long time, Jia Min has not made progress, and his sharpness is exhausted, so he may retreat by himself. Tell General Ninguta not to go into battle lightly. ”

"The weather is already cold, even if Jia Min survives this winter, he will be exhausted by then, and at that time, maybe it's time for us to fight back."

"Shizi Gaojian, I also mean this."

"It's not a high opinion, it's just a helpless move. In fact, there is a better way to deal with Jia Min, but ......, alas, don't say it. ”

Song Kuan's expression was a little gloomy.

"Shizi, I also know what you said to the emperor. In the future, let's not say such things. Alas, I know that you have always been faithful, but others may not have the same opinion as you. Now that we have won the country, many things are not the same as in the past. Let's be cautious about what we say and do. ”

Gao Wangshan gently patted Song Kuan's shoulder. Song Kuan got up and walked out without a word.

When I walked out the door, I saw snowflakes fluttering in the sky.

This is the first snow of the year in the imperial capital, and it came a little earlier than usual.

This sea journey of the Beihai Volunteers spanned two dynasties.

At the time of departure from the North Sea, Middle-earth was still the Dade Dynasty. When it landed in Liaodong, it was already the Tianshun Dynasty.

The changes were so fast that even Jia Min didn't expect them.

He knew that Daitoku was not an opponent of the three feudatories, but it was originally expected that Daitoku would be able to survive for at least half a year. I didn't expect Tianyou to abdicate so quickly.

After landing in Dadonggou, Chen Yetong led his regiment to attack the 500 defenders of Dadong Fortress.

He was in full swing and was about to fight the first battle after the landing when things turned out to be completely unexpected.

The field artillery was fired, and as soon as three cannons were fired at the city gate, the defenders raised the white flag and demanded surrender.

Chen Yetong didn't believe that things would be so simple, thinking it was the other party's trick. So I didn't immediately accept surrender.

While he was still judging the truth and falsehood, the city gate opened, and the five hundred defenders raised their hands and marched out of the city to surrender. made Chen Yetong bored, so he had to accept the other party's surrender.

Jia Min then led his army eastward to Anpyeongseong, which was only a river away from Goryeo.

By the time they arrived at Anping City, the defenders were gone. It became an undefended town.

Camp here for one night and then head north.

As a pioneer regiment, Shi Liu has already laid down Phoenix Fort. When Jia Min and Chen Yeqing arrived here with a large army, Shi Liu had already led his team to continue northward and occupied Tongyang Fort, which was one hundred and twenty miles away.

Tongyangbao is a strategic place, one hundred and fifty miles to the north, is Xishuitai, and one hundred and fifty miles to the north, is Shengjing.

To the south, it is the road of the Beihai Volunteers, 240 miles is Anping City, and after crossing the Yalu River, it is Goryeo.

To the east, after the alkali plant, you can lead to Kuaida, Tumenling, Ningguta, from there. Naturally, you can also go to Hoeryeong and enter Goryeo.

After passing Qingchengzi to the west, you can enter Yuyan, and then there is the big stone bridge, and you can follow Wei Ruolan and Jia Lian who landed in Niuzhuang in southern Liaoning to meet and reconcile.

Shi Liu captured the Bronze Sheep Fort and temporarily stopped advancing.

Jia Min and Chen Yeqing led the main force and stationed in Phoenix.

Chen Ye Youth Brigade has three regiments, the first regiment is the same as Chen Ye, the second regiment is Huang Tianyun, and the third regiment is Shi Liu.

The one currently in Phoenix is the first and second regiments.

At this time, Jia Min, Chen Yeqing, Huang Tianyun, and Chen Yetong were in front of the south gate of Phoenix Fort.

"From tomorrow, the 1st and 2nd regiments will begin to train here, and the two sides will take turns to play the role of defender and attacker, practice siege and defense tactics, and make comments after the exercise every day. It takes 10 days. ”

"Chief Min, are we not attacking Shengjing anymore?"

"It's not in a hurry to attack Shengjing, Han Tiankui can't run there, he is the dish in our bowl sooner or later."

"In the end, Chief Min is far-sighted, and we are really new to siege warfare. If Han Tiankui was bent on defending the city, it would really not be easy to deal with. ”

"Brigade Commander Chen, if you were Han Tiankui and met us, what would you do?"

"I am not the opponent of the volunteers in the field, I will defend the city, wait for changes, and gradually drag the volunteers down."

"Chief Min, we get it. Practice siege warfare from tomorrow. ”

"Tell Shi Liu to tell him to practice siege in Tongyang Fort. It would be a pity if we didn't make good use of the ready-made castles. ”

"In addition, send someone to contact Temir and Zhao Dahai and ask them to practice siege as well."

"Chief Min, after practicing siege, you can attack Shengjing, right?"

Huang Tianyun never forgot to attack Shengjing.

"No, let's turn back and attack Goryeo."

"Didn't Goryeo hand it over to the Tatars? They were no match for the Tatars. ”

"If it is a head-on fight, Goryeo is indeed no match for the Tatars. What if they don't fight the Tatars, but only deal with them? ”

"Ouch, the Tatars really can't do it."

"If Goryeo is not calm for a day, our rear will be unstable, and they may attack from our rear at any time, and we will face a situation of fighting on two fronts, which is not a good thing for us."

"Send someone to contact the intelligence chief of the guard army and the brigade commander Jia Lian, and tell them to stop their advance in Shoushan, and while practicing the siege on the spot, they will contain the enemy in Shengjing. Ten days later, Shi Liu stayed at Tongyang Fort, and Brigade Commander Chen led the 1st Regiment and 2nd Regiment back to Dadonggou, where to get on the ship, set out to the south of Goryeo, landed in Busan, and attacked north. ”

"I led the Mamluklian and Myaook Lian of Tamara to the east, and at Hoeryeong and Simari they made peace, and attacked from the north of Goryeo. The north and south were flanked and completely pacified Goryeo. ”

"Hehe, Chief Min, Han Tiankui probably never dreamed that we would come with him for this trick, right?"

Chen Yeqing couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"Han Tiankui uses soldiers, but he actually doesn't have much ability. However, it does not mean that there are no masters in the three feudatories. Song Kuan, Li Gan, Han Qi, Gao Wangshan and others are all very capable. Otherwise, they wouldn't have achieved great virtue so quickly. ”

"Actually, Dade is also a capable person, but he can't use it."

Chen Yeqing also feels the same way.

"Yes, His Royal Highness Chang'an, Chu Yuanji, He Jialin, Luo Xingshan, Zhou Tong and others are all capable people. It's a pity that Yuan Heng and Tianyou don't trust them. Even a famous general like Lord Wang can't tolerate it, so it's no wonder that there is today. ”

At this point, Jia Min changed his original plan and slowed down the pace of attack.

In fact, this change is also inevitable. Because now the situation with the opponent has changed.

It turned out that he was going to fight the Dade soldiers and horses first, and then fight with the three feudatories. Now that Dade is gone, only the San Francisco family remains.

At the same time, he also had to give Feng Ziying and Chen Yejun a period of time. By the time the two of them attacked, they could more effectively disperse the enemy's forces and energy.
