"Ask me for my opinion? Let's talk about what the ministers of the DPRK and China think about this! By the way, Commander Wang has been running all the way, and he must have not eaten yet, so I will let the kitchen prepare some coarse tea and light rice, and we will talk while eating. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At the end of the info, Li Hongfei added.

Wang Guoxing hurried all the way to Suzhou, not to give orders, but Zhu Youzhen wanted to listen to Li Hongfei's opinion, and it seems that the DPRK and China are not unanimous about Yangzhou.

Li Hongfei wanted to understand what the ministers of the DPRK and China thought first, so he could come to a conclusion, after all, it is not good to be too maverick, in case no one plans to defend Yangzhou, he rashly asked Zhu Youzhen to send troops to cross the river and fight to the death with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and when the time comes, there will be no one in the DPRK and China to support him, so he can't lead the 7,000 Suzhou new army and fight the 300,000 Manchu army.

"Not to mention, I really didn't have time to eat this night, but Mr. doesn't have to be so troublesome, just get me a bowl of instant noodles from Suzhou." The kingdom is not outside the world.

Suzhou instant noodles have just come out not long ago, and most of them are used for export to make foreigners' money, even if it is an important member of the imperial court like Wang Guoxing, it is rare to eat it a few times a month.

Since I came to Suzhou today, I must try the taste of instant noodles.

Some people like to eat this kind of fast food, how could Li Hongfei refuse, although he doesn't like to eat it very much, but the chef in the house regards it as a magical ingredient, and has prepared dozens of bags, and even every time he entertains guests, this instant noodles have become a famous dish and are served on the table, which is quite funny.

Li Hongfei asked people to order the kitchen to prepare instant noodles, and even in order to show their enthusiasm, they even specially asked people to add a poached egg.

"Sir, why don't you eat it?" Seeing that Li Hongfei only needed a bowl of instant noodles, Wang Guoxing was a little curious.

"I've just eaten sweet potatoes and have no appetite for anything else." Li Hongfei explained.

He rarely eats instant noodles, so he directly made up a reason to prevaricate.

"Sir is really frugal, and he even uses sweet potatoes as a staple food." Wang Guoxing admired.

At the same time, I was secretly glad in my heart, fortunately I asked for instant noodles, otherwise it would be miserable if I really wanted to eat sweet potatoes.

"Okay, the instant noodles will be good for a while, you can talk about the current situation first." Li Hongfei didn't bother to explain to the other party.

"That's right, the DPRK and China are basically divided into two factions on this.......... "Wang Guoxing explained one by one.

One of the factions, led by Shi Kefa, advocated concentrating all forces, defending Yangzhou, first taking advantage of the city wall to thwart the Qing court's spirit, and at the same time letting Dongchang Fanzi in various parts of the north incite local anti-Qing righteous soldiers to disturb the rear of the Qing court.

When the time is ripe, the whole army will attack and strive to defeat the invading enemy in one fell swoop.

Once this move is successful, it will greatly kill the Qing court's vital forces, if it can completely annihilate the 300,000 army, then the Northern Expedition is hopeful, even if it is only to defeat the other party, it can also make the Qing court suffer heavy losses, and dare not attack Nanming again in a short period of time, so as to gain the opportunity for Nanming to accumulate strength.

Shi Kefa's move is simply that the regular army is blocking the enemy in front, and the guerrillas harasing and destroying behind the enemy line will disrupt the logistics of the Qing army.

However, Li Hongfei felt that this matter was more hanging, first of all, Nanming's current army, in addition to the troops guarding Chongming Island, had less than 100,000 combatable soldiers, plus the newly recruited 100,000 recruits, it was only in the early 200,000s.

200,000 against 300,000, plus the advantage of the city wall, it seems that there is a fight, but these 200,000 troops are almost all the belongings of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty is now fighting on both sides, and when they find themselves disadvantaged, they can increase their troops in Yangzhou at any time, what should they do then?

As it turned out, Li Hongfei's concerns were right.

The other faction even used this as an excuse to question Shi Kefa, if this battle is lost, and the imperial court has no troops available, what should it do?

In the era of cold weapons, it is not comparable to later generations, in two or three months, a combatable soldier can be trained, and the 100,000 recruits dare to be sent to the battlefield after half a year of training, and most of them are supplemented by veterans scattered in the north.

Even so, the combat effectiveness is only seventy percent of that of 100,000 veterans, and once these soldiers are exhausted, Nanming will really not be able to produce more soldiers in a short period of time.

Of course, when these ministers were deliberating, they automatically ignored Li Hongfei's all-firearms troops, at least before Yang Wei, the all-firearms troops, these ministers would not be optimistic.

In their opinion, the all-firearms troops, defending the city is okay, and the field battle mainly has to rely on cold weapons, after all, the firearms troops need to line up before engaging the enemy in the field, and the time delayed, the faster cavalry of the Qing army has already been able to rush and kill a back and forth in the firearms troops.

In the past, the reason why the Ming Army's Shenji Battalion had to be equipped with half of the cold weapon army was to resist the enemy's charge before the battle, and to prepare for the firearms troops to line up and buy time.

Therefore, when Li Hongfei's Suzhou Army created an all-firearms unit, except for Qi Hongying, no one was optimistic about this unit..........

Before the war between the Southern Ming and the Qing court began, the ministers of the DPRK and China had a heated debate over the question of victory or defeat.

Shi Kefa's meaning is: I haven't fought yet, how do you know the winner or loser?

The vote of the Donglin Party is: What should I do if I lose?

The two sides quarreled, Zhu Youzhen was also dizzy when he heard it, and in the end, Shi Kefa had already secured his own life and made a military order: personally led the troops to Yangzhou to defend the city, the city was in the people, and the city was ruined.

However, even so, only 50,000 recruits were taken away, plus 60,000 veterans in Yangzhou City, the total strength was less than 120,000.

Zhu Youzhen sent Wang Guoxing to Suzhou to listen to Li Hongfei's opinion, whether to forcibly issue an order to send the remaining 90,000 soldiers to Yangzhou to fight to the death with the Qing court.

"Forced orders? Did you find it useful? Li Hongfei asked Wang Guoxing rhetorically.

If the whole group is united, Li Hongfei feels that this is an opportunity for a counteroffensive, as long as Yangzhou can resist the Qing court for half a year, Li Hongfei will have a way, and then burst out 100,000 all-firearms troops, with such a force to join, fighting the 300,000 tired divisions of the Qing court, isn't it just fun?

It's a pity that there are constant disputes between the DPRK and China now, and most of the civil servants still have unrealistic illusions.

"It's ........ I don't know. Wang Guoxing couldn't answer.

Before Li Zicheng's troops besieged the Beijing Division, Zhu Youzhen Feiyu ordered Wu Sangui to enter the Weijing Division, and as a result, Wu Sangui entered Shanhaiguan from Ningyuan, a 200-mile journey from Pingchuan, and walked for 11 days.

Now the heavy snow in the south of the Yangtze River covers the mountains, and the water network is staggered in various places, if the towns are forced to send troops, under all kinds of prevarication, I am afraid that the Qing troops will enter Yangzhou, and the reinforcements from all over the country will not be able to arrive.

"So......... It's not useful at all. Li Hongfei sighed.

The Southern Ming Dynasty even had uneven hearts among the officials of the DPRK and China, even if all the troops arrived in Yangzhou, how could they resist the Manchu Eight Banners with one heart and one mind?
