Today's third update is delivered!

After a day of playing in the literacy academy, Zhang Zhun and the others returned to Hongyuan. The news from Zhang Yan was that she was alone in the room and didn't know what she was thinking. It seems that this hurdle will not be easy to overcome. Zhang Zhun didn't pay much attention to it, he still had something to do.

His main business is about the economic planning of Bohai Bay.

To fight a war, to put it simply, is to have money, people, weapons, and food. The Tiger Army is no exception. Now, the Tiger Ben Army has people, weapons, and food, but the money is a little less. Therefore, Zhang Zhun should work hard to expand his financial resources. In addition to the idea of fighting, he also has to constantly fight the idea of the ocean. In fact, the resources of Bohai Bay are very rich. In addition to producing a large amount of sea salt, there are also a large number of fish, shrimp and crabs, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as a cornucopia. Therefore, Zhang Zhun demanded that all governments should vigorously develop marine fisheries, liberalize the sales price of seafood, let the market buy and sell freely, and encourage more people to go out to sea to fish.

In the past, because fishermen were untouchables, their seafood would always be treated unfairly, but now, all the confinement and obstruction are gone. However, the elimination of obstruction and confinement could not make the marine fishery develop rapidly, because the people at that time had some scruples about the sea, and if there was no huge profit stimulation, no one would actively go to the sea to make a living.

After all, it is very taboo to die in the sea without heart and bones. Well, if you want to be generously treated by the Tiger Ben Army and Navy, you can't attract all the young adults. They desperately wanted to join the 6th Army, but they were somewhat afraid of the Navy and the 6th Naval Force. Only the lucrative fishing "will spur more people to go to sea." As soon as the prices of all seafood products are liberalized, the profits of fishermen will immediately come up.

In the area controlled by the Tiger Army, "in terms of food, there is a big shortcoming, that is, there is a serious shortage of meat, poultry and eggs, which leads to the relevant prices, which remain high, and the people's protein intake cannot guarantee the needs of physical sports. Because of the problem of grain and umbrella production, "in the short term, the number of poultry and livestock is unlikely to increase, only the fish in the sea can." At that time, there were as many fish as there were in the sea.

In addition to improving people's lives, vigorously developing marine fisheries also has the advantage of "a large number of fishing boats are scattered all over the Bohai Bay, so that the Han people in Liaodong can find a way to flee at any time." Zhang Zhun estimated that with the strength of the Tartars, "the control of the Han people in Liaodong will gradually weaken." The chances of the Han people in Liaodong fleeing will be greatly increased, and if there are only ships of the Tiger Ben Army in Bohai Bay, it is obviously not enough, and the fleeing Han people in Liaodong may not be able to find ships to go to sea in time. If you can't escape in time, you will be poisoned by the Tartars. But with thousands of fishing boats, it's much easier. The constant flight of the Han people in Liaodong "can not only reduce the strength of the Liaodong Tartars, but also bring more and more useful information."

In addition, "a large number of people are encouraged to go to the sea, but also to form a good atmosphere of going to the sea, so that more people are familiar with the sea, know the sea, and understand the sea." Once you are familiar with it, you know, and you understand it, your fear of the sea will gradually weaken, and more and more young adults will be more active in joining the Huben Navy. In other words, it is indeed not easy for the Tiger Army Navy to train a sailor, and it is even more difficult than the cavalry of the 6th Army.

The seventeenth century was the Age of Discovery, the golden age of maritime hegemony. If the people of the Ming Kingdom want to get a piece of the world, it is not enough for Zhang Zhun to have a sense of the ocean, but also to make all the people interested in the ocean. Fishing is the first step in cultivating marine awareness. If you can't take a single step, let alone the rest.

"My lord, Yang Guohua, they are here." , Liu Mang suddenly came in to report.

"Call them in*......"

Zhang Zhun nodded and put away the matter at hand for the time being.

"Lord Governor!" Soon, Yang Guohua, Zhang Haibin, Fang He, and Liu Dong arrived.

"Concubine!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said.

The four of them each found a place and sat down casually.

The Great White Fleet temporarily went to Jeju Island, Zhou Zhengyu and Li Jicheng followed, and the current Huben Army Navy is Yang Guohua and Zhang Haibin in charge. As for the Navy 6 Squadron, Fang He and Liu Dong are still in charge. Now that all four of them are here, it is natural that there will be another big military operation.

Sure enough, Zhang Zhun glanced at the four of them and said straight to the point: "How are the preparations for the attack on Phi Dao going?" Zhang Haibin replied cautiously: "My lord, you are ready." He pulled out a memo and detailed reports one by one.

In order to attack Phi Dao, the Huben Navy prepared ten Cangshan ships, as well as ten large Fu ships, and the number of cannons it possessed. This kind of firepower is certainly not as strong as the Great White Fleet, but it is also quite strong. In and around Bohai Bay, no human sea force can pose a threat to the Tiger Navy.

In order to ensure the transportation of logistics, the Huben Navy concentrated thirty large merchant ships.

These merchant ships, in addition to carrying all the personnel and equipment of the Navy's 6th Combat Unit, will also carry a large amount of military supplies. Even the ropes for the captives were ready. Considering the possibility of a battle, after occupying Phi Dao, the Tiger Ben Army will immediately transfer all the prisoners to Dengzhou City for further processing, and will not continue to stay on Phi Dao.

With the gradual end of the Battle of Dongjiabao, the number of special merchant ships of the Huben Navy increased, and when the campaign was deployed, it became more and more abundant. Most of the merchant ships were captured. At the same time, the civilian shipyard in Wulong Bay also started to build more merchant ships. The cost of a pure merchant ship is still relatively low, and the purchase price of a fortune ship with a displacement of 300 tons is only more than 4,000 taels. As long as you have enough silver, you can buy a large number of merchant ships.

"What about you?"

Zhang Zhun turned his head to look at Fang He and Liu Dong.

In order to capture Phi Dao, the 6th Naval Brigade of the Tiger Army, of course, must be dispatched with the whole army. This battle is also of great significance to the 6th Naval Squadron of the Tiger Army, that is, after the capture of Phi Island, the 6th Naval Squadron of the Tiger Army "will set up a completely independent training base on Phi Island to train more soldiers of the 6th Naval Squadron." In other words, from now on, Phi Dao will be the world of the Navy 6 Sentai Corps.

For a long time, the 6th Combat Team of the Tiger Army Navy has shared a base and a common dock with the Navy, which certainly has certain advantages, but there are more disadvantages. The coexistence of the two makes the Navy 6 feel that it is always a head short of the navy. Now, the Navy 6 finally has its own independent world, and they are very strong about taking Phi Dao.

"We're all ready, too." , Fang He said sternly.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed*......"

Liu Dong also replied seriously.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly: "Yan is here, let's calm down, and then carefully review our plan to see if there is anything that needs to be added." Everyone fell into cautious thinking.

This is also Zhang Zhun's habit. Before making a big move, you need to calm down a little and carefully look for possible problems and correct them in advance. Back then, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt said that coffee should be put on a plate to dry, in fact, the meaning is the same. Think as carefully as possible beforehand" can avoid panic remediation after the fact.

In fact, at the beginning of the Battle of Dongjiabao, Zhang Zhun never gave up the idea of "sticking a knife in the butt of the Tartar." It's just that at that time, the attention of the Tiger Ben Army was "focused on Dongjiabao, and it was not capable of implementing such a plan for the time being." Now, the positive pressure on Huang Taiji has been reduced, and Zhang Zhun's plan can be implemented. As a result, Zhang Zhun's gaze was fixed on Phi Dao at a glance.

Although the Great White Fleet is not there, in the Bohai Bay, it is still the world of the Tiger Army. Everywhere around the Bohai Bay is under the threat of the Tiger Army. However, for this reason, these different locations have different pros and cons, and they need to be carefully considered.

From a military strategic point of view, the Tiger Ben Army, whether it is in Jinzhouwei, Fuzhouwei, or Gaizhouwei6, will encounter relatively big troubles after going ashore. These places, the cavalry of the Tartars, can be reached in an instant. Before the Tiger Ben Army gained a firm foothold, it was entirely possible that the Tartar cavalry that had been killed frantically would drive the Tiger Ben Army back into the sea.

In the face of the crazy Tartar cavalry, if the Tiger Army is just to consume a little Tartar vitality, it can continue to go ashore to harass them. However, if the Tiger Army really wants to set up a boarding point on the shore to meet the continuous boarding of the follow-up troops, there will still be relatively great difficulties.

Deng 6 is a technical tip in this generation, except for Zhang Zhun, no one has a clearer understanding of the details of Deng 6. Therefore, Zhang Zhun is very cautious about the Deng 6 action. Deng 6 battle, in fact, is very dangerous, once a certain link goes wrong, the troops on the shore will be dumplings by the enemy. The lesson of Kinmen is very profound, and I have to admit that the fighting power of the Tartars is still very strong. For the time being, it would be very risky for the Tiger Army to fight the Tartar cavalry on the plains of the wilderness without the assistance of strong fortifications. The question is, will the Tartars sit idly by and watch your Tiger Ben army build a fortress or something on the shore? It's simply impossible! As long as the Tiger Army made the slightest move, the Tartars immediately pounced on them frantically.

There is only one place that can reduce the pressure of the Tartars' counterattack.

This place is Phi Island.

The location of Phi Dao, between Liaodong and Korea, is only a short dozen nautical miles away from the Tatar-controlled Iron Mountain. If the Tiger Ben Army were to make a nail here and station the North Korean Tartars, I am afraid that they would not be able to sleep at night. Idiots know that once the Tiger Ben Army controls Phi Dao, the next step is to occupy Iron Mountain. What is Iron Mountain? Iron Mountain is the connecting passage between Tatar and Korea. If the Tiger Ben Army took control of Tieshan, it would be equivalent to cutting off the direct connection between Shenyang and Seoul. Any Tatar cavalry attempting to make their way from Shenyang to Seoul would be attacked by the Iron Mountain Tiger Army. Once the Tiger Ben Army occupies Iron Mountain, it is impossible for the Tartars to point fingers at North Korea.

Why did Zhang Zhun choose Phi Dao?

The most fundamental reason is because of Iron Mountain. This place in Tieshan is more than a thousand miles away from Shenyang. What is the concept of a thousand miles for cavalry? It's a three-day journey. Traveling thousands of miles in a day and a hundred miles in a night, the description in it is that "real cavalry, especially those who are heavily armed and want to fight, it is impossible to run so fast." The Mongol cavalry of that year "when they advanced extremely fast, three hundred miles a day, that was already the limit."

There was a distance of 1,000 miles between Shenyang and Tieshan, which meant that once the Tiger Ben army attacked Tieshan, the Tatars would send troops from Shenyang or nearby at least after receiving the news. It takes four days. There were four days, enough time for the Tiger Army to build a few good bastions in Iron Mountain. Since the advent of cement, the concept of prefabricated parts has naturally come out.

As long as all the materials for the construction of the fort were prepared in advance, including a large number of prefabricated cement parts, it was possible for the Tiger Ben army to "build three zigzag forts in the Iron Mountain" in two or three days. These three fortresses are the miniatures of Dongjiabao, Caojiabao, and Liujiabao, forming a corner of each other, covering each other, so that the Tartars have no way to start. As long as this is done, "the control of the Tiger Ben Army over the Iron Mountain will be leveraged."

Once the Tiger Army built three fortresses in Iron Mountain, it gained a firm foothold. Well, the strategy of the Tatars in Korea, there are only two. The first is a desperate attack, "to push the Tiger Army back into the sea." However, the battle of Dongjiabao showed that attacking the Tiger Army, which was covered by strong fortifications, "was an absolute tragedy for the Tartars." For the sake of their own population, "a frenzied offensive is unlikely." The second is to abandon North Korea.

If the Tatars had to abandon North Korea, it would be even more detrimental to their future. Because, the Tiger Ben Army will deploy more troops in North Korea in an all-round way, and then work with other troops to attack from east to west, from many different directions, to encircle and attack Shenyang. By then, the field corps of the Tiger Army, as well as the cavalry, should be almost trained and capable of fighting with the Tartars.

I have to say that the North Koreans are very much looking forward to this plan. For a long time, only by controlling Phi Dao in their own hands could the Ming army be qualified to exert pressure on the Daejin Kingdom, the ability to reduce the burden of the Koreans, and the ability to further control the Korean Kingdom. That's what Mao Wenlong did at the beginning. As a result, as soon as Phi Dao was lost, Ming's control over Korea fell to its lowest point.

For Huang Taiji, the capture of Phi Island by the Tiger Ben Army will of course make him feel very uncomfortable. At present, Bohai Bay has been controlled by the Tiger Ben Navy, as if all his lower body clothes have been recorded. If it is still controlled in the hands of Phi Dao, it is equivalent to having a sharp blade, which is attached between Huang Taiji's legs, and at any time, Huang Taiji will scream again and again.

Phi Dao, Tieshan, North Korea, Shenyang, such a step-by-step strategy, I believe Huang Taiji can also be seen. Such a strategy is not fast, but it is very safe, and there is no need to worry about any changes in the middle. Even if Huang Taiji understood what Zhang Zhun meant, he didn't have the ability to fight back. Because, for Phi Dao, the lord of the Dajin Kingdom, there is absolutely nothing he can do for the time being.

At present, Huang Taiji is still in Beizhili, busy replenishing his losses from the imperial court, where can he get Phi Dao so far? By the time he received the relevant information, I am afraid that at least half a month had passed.

Actually, Zhang Zhun was not very worried, the cavalry of the Tartars would arrive quickly. Because, in the eyes of the Tartars, it will be much more direct for the Tiger Ben Army to go ashore directly in Jinzhouwei and other places. Even if they received the news that the Tiger Ben Army had landed on Iron Mountain, they might not be able to send reinforcements immediately. What if the Tiger Ben Army is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, but the real purpose is to climb 6 in Fuzhou Wei and other places?

From beginning to end, the Tartars were stationed in Deliying City near Fuzhou Wei, and a large number of mobile troops were stationed in order to prevent the Tiger Ben Army from really landing 6. I believe that even if the Tiger Ben Army is in Tieshan Deng 6 and wins the city, it will definitely not be mobilized. This reaction is similar to that of the German army between Calais and Normandy.

"The enemy on Phi Dao has figured out whether there is a *......"

Zhang Zhun asked cautiously.

"I figured it out, it was the troops of Dongjiang Town in the past*......"

Zhang Haibin replied affirmatively.

He explained that the defenders stationed on Phi Island, about three thousand or so, were all rebels. Their morale, obviously, cannot be very high. Because, they are alone. The camps of the Tartars are all in the Iron Mountain, directly from Phi Island, across the sea for more than ten miles.

If there is a strong fleet, the sea surface of these ten miles will certainly not be a problem. But if there is no navy, it will be a tragedy. However, in the hands of the Tartars, there is no navy.

Obviously, as long as the gunboats of the Tiger Ben Navy insert between Phi Dao and Tie Shan, it will be impossible for the Tartars of Tie Mountain to reinforce Phi Dao. I have a weak heart. Therefore, the defenders on Phi Island could only resist on their own. The rebels of three thousand, it is not that the people present look down on them, it is indeed not enough to look at them. If it's three thousand tartars, that's about the same.

"The North Korean side doesn't know?" , Zhang Zhun thought about it and asked cautiously.

"What they don't know, keep it secret," Yang Guohua replied affirmatively.

"Good!" , Zhang Zhun said with satisfaction.

In fact, seriously speaking, Zhang Zhun does not fully trust the North Koreans. After all, among the North Koreans, the strength of the capitulation faction is still very strong. If the Tiger Ben Army revealed the news of the attack on Phi Dao, the Tartars of Iron Mountain would know about it nine times out of ten. If the Tartars had taken precautions, the Tiger Ben Army would have to pay a greater price if they wanted to successfully take Phi Dao.

"Is there anything you need to add?" After half a cup of tea, Zhang Zhun asked with a stern expression.

"Nope."

Yang Guohua, Zhang Haibin, Fang He, Liu Dong and others all shook their heads gently.

"Good! Let's go! ”

Zhang Zhun said decisively.
