[Today's second shift is delivered]

North Zhili, Tianjin Wei.

The winter sun lazily reflects in the yard, leaving a long shadow around the jujube trees. The jujube trees in the yard have been picked up, and there are not many leaves left on the branches. From time to time, a gust of north wind blows, blowing the few remaining leaves into a shaking.

When he got up in the morning, Zhang Zhun exercised in the yard. The scenery in the courtyard looks a little dilapidated, giving people a bleak feeling. In fact, the entire Beizhili gave Zhang Zhun a dilapidated and desolate feeling. This is true even for Tianjin Wei, who has not been spoiled by the Tartars. Not to mention other areas that have been ravaged by the Tartars.

The reconstruction plan of Beizhili has not been approved by Gao Hongtu and Zhang Shenyan. The main reason is that there is too much money to be consumed. With the current economic capacity of the Tiger Army, it is simply impossible to undertake such a grand plan. Instead of putting a large amount of money in Beizhili, it is better to invest it in other places. This means that in the next three to five years, most areas of Beizhili will maintain the status quo.

Hao Linyong and Yang Qianqiang were also practicing with Zhang Zhun on the side. The two of them, who have been in Tianjin for the past few days, discussed with Zhang Zhun about attacking the Beijing division and going through the affairs of the entire Shanxi. In the future offensive plan of the Tiger Ben Army, the two of them were mainly responsible for the war in Beizhili and Shanxi. After the Blue Dragon Legion arrived in Beizhili, it was more often used as a horn in the general reserve, and it would not be involved in the war for the time being.

In fact, the situation has unfolded so far, and the Jingshi is already in the bag of the Tiger Army, and fools know that there is no suspense at all. Even Cao Huachun, the commander of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, did not have any confidence in defending the Beijing Division.

There is definite information that Emperor Chongzhen's advance troops have left the Beijing division and headed for Datong Mansion. It is estimated that after arriving at Datong Mansion, it will quickly transfer to Taiyuan Mansion, and then pass through Xi'an Mansion, Hanzhong Mansion, and all the way to Chengdu Mansion. As for Emperor Chongzhen himself, it is estimated that he will quietly leave Jingshi and go to Datong Mansion in the next few days.

The reason why the Tiger Ben Army did not move was actually to give Emperor Chongzhen a time to escape. For the emperor of this imperial court, many high-level officials of the Ministry of Political Affairs of the Tiger Army have a trace of compassion. After all, they were all subordinates of Emperor Chongzhen, and they didn't want to see Emperor Chongzhen die in the hands of Zhang Zhun.

In fact, there have always been two different views at the top of the Tiger Army. One is the moderates made by Gao Hongtu, Zhang Shenyan and others. They advocated that Emperor Chongzhen be pulled down from the emperor's throne, and there was no need to take his life. Emperor Chongzhen may not be a good emperor, but it is still okay to be an ordinary person. This is also the goal that Empress Zhang Yan of Yi'an strives for.

The other is the hawks with Yang Zhiyuan, Hao Linyong and others. They all advocated that since they wanted to rebel, they would be completely opposed, and they must all be wiped out by the Zhu family's royal family, leaving no trouble. This kind of proposition is more bloody and barbaric, but it is also a common practice in dynastic change. The new dynasty, the old dynasty, must be wiped out.

Zhang Zhun himself, in fact, is not conclusive. For him, it doesn't matter whether Emperor Chongzhen dies or not. As long as the class he represents has been wiped out, with his ability, he can't set off a strong wind. However, if Emperor Chongzhen is stubborn and does not repent of death, Zhang Zhun will not mind giving him a knife.

Since Emperor Chongzhen decided to run away, the magnates of the Beijing Division naturally escaped early, and the three major battalions of the Beijing Division naturally followed. The current Jingshi is already 1 un mess, as long as they are capable, and they are worried about being dealt with by the Tiger Army, they have all fled. Those who ran a little bit were worried that the Tiger Ben Army would immediately enter the city.

The White Tiger Legion of the Tiger Army, as well as other troops, are all on the periphery of the Beijing Division, and as long as Zhang Zhun gives an order, they can enter the Beijing Division. At the same time, in Liaodong, the Blue Dragon Legion, the Dragoon Battalion, the Tiger Cavalry Battalion, the Leopard Cavalry Battalion and other troops were all moving to the pass in a hurry. With so many troops concentrated around the Beijing Division, it is no wonder that the dignitaries and magnates in the Beijing Division are all worried.

By November of the tenth year of Chongzhen, the affairs of Liaodong basically came to an end. Huang Taiji was already dead, and Dai Shan, Ji'er Harang, Fan Wencheng and others were also executed. The rest are all Tartars of the rank above the big arrow. For them, Zhang Zhun doesn't care anymore. Their fate will naturally be handled by the People's Commissariat Committee. It is estimated that with the hatred of the people of all ethnic groups for the Tartars, they have little chance of surviving.

As for the remnants of the Tartars, they will migrate to the distant American continent to compete with the Indians and colonists of various countries for space for survival. In the summer of the next year, they will march out of Hetuara and head for the distant American continent under the supervision of the Tiger Army.

The fighting in the Mongolian steppes is still going on, and there is no final result for the time being. However, the Horqin tribe is clearly about to be annihilated. This is the price of their desperate attachment to the Dajin Kingdom. After the extinction of the Horqin tribe, the Mongolian steppe will enter the situation of the real Three Kingdoms. This is very beneficial for the Tiger Army.

Now, the Tiger Army has three main offensive directions,

The first is the Jingshi.

Obviously, there is no major war in the Jingshi. As long as Emperor Chongzhen leaves the capital with his front foot, the Tiger Ben army will enter the capital with his back foot and take control of this ancient and young capital. The cause of the Tiger Ben Army will also be raised to a new level. This is of great significance to the direction of public opinion and the turn of the people's will.

However, the Jingshi strategy mentioned here is actually only a part of the whole strategy. In fact, the strategy of the Tiger Army's Beijing division included occupying the entire Beizhili and Shanxi, while deploying defenses on the front line of the Great Wall. To put it simply, it is to control the entire northern kingdom.

There is no doubt that this is a complex system project that needs to be measured comprehensively. Before the Tiger Army, it had already controlled most of the area of Beizhili, and its penetration of Beizhili was still relatively effective. However, for Shanxi, it is completely unfamiliar.

For this reason, Zhang Zhun sent some personnel to cross the Zhending Mansion and appear near Jingcheng Pass to make a feint to test Shanxi. As a result, the big families in Shanxi could not escape and fled to Shaanxi. Zhang Zhun's plan is actually very simple, as long as Emperor Chongzhen leaves Shanxi, the Tiger Ben army will come and control the whole of Shanxi.

The second is Japan.

According to intelligence, the Japanese shogunate, after withstanding the blows of the Tiger Army, is in full swing to form more troops in an attempt to start a real decisive battle with the Tiger Army. During this period, both in the Kanto Plain and around Kyoto, a large number of Japanese shogunate troops were assembled. There was also the shogunate army, which tried to attack Dewa and Mutsu provinces.

In the waters around Sado Island, the shadow of the Japanese Navy also appeared. Although the strength of the Japanese Navy is not very strong, it is not at the same level at all compared to the main fleet of the Tigers Army. However, Sado Island was close to the Japanese mainland, which was conducive to the Japanese navy's operations. And the main fleet of the Tiger Army Navy cannot be stationed on Sado Island. Therefore, the situation on Sado Island is still dangerous.

Obviously, it was absolutely impossible not to completely defeat the shogunate's army. The shogunate controlled most of Japan's population and resources. To defeat the shogunate army is to defeat the entire Japanese army. According to intelligence, the shogunate could mobilize about 300,000 troops. Obviously, this is a relatively large number.

For this reason, Zhang Zhun ordered all the Mongol cavalry, including the Mongol cavalry of the three tribes of Aoter, Harashen, and Tumut, with a total strength of about 15,000 people, to march towards the port of Busan. According to Jang Joon's future plan, they will all land in Japan and join the ranks of the shogunate army.

The commander-in-chief of the Japanese campaign was still Lu Xiangsheng. The unit he led has been named the First Expeditionary Regiment of the Tiger Army. The strength of the 1st Expeditionary Corps included three infantry battalions of the Tiger Army, an artillery battalion, and the 8,000 Korean Janissaries under the command of Yi Jue. With the addition of 15,000 Mongol cavalry, the total strength was about 30,000.

According to Zhang Zhun's estimates, the landing of about 30,000 troops in Japan, coupled with the cooperation of the Huben Army Marines, should be able to compete with the shogunate army. What the shogunate army lacked the most was cavalry, and on the tiger army, it was precisely the cavalry that was the strongest. The Mongolian cavalry had no chance to soar in front of the cavalry of the Tiger Army, and in front of the Japanese army, they could still show off.

However, this plan has not yet had time to be launched, mainly because the preparations are not sufficient. The 30,000-strong landing force is quite large, and the task of logistical transportation is very arduous, and all kinds of preparations are very cumbersome. Zhang Zhun estimated that this year, it is absolutely impossible to attack, wait for next year.

In his previous life, Zhang Zhun had never organized such a large-scale sea landing, so he had to be cautious. Hundreds of years ago, because of the storm, the expeditionary force of the Yuan Empire had already surrendered before it reached Japan. Of course, Zhang Zhun did not want to repeat the mistakes of the past. Therefore, regarding the landing of the First Expeditionary Corps in Japan, Zhang Zhun personally inquired about it.

Of course, compared with hundreds of years ago, there are still more favorable conditions for the landing of the Tiger Ben Army. First, there is the assistance of a strong navy. Second, there is the North Korean port of Busan as a logistics base. Third, it already has a certain foundation in Japan. As long as there are no major mistakes, the success rate of landing in Japan can still be guaranteed.

In addition, there is another very important reason for the Japanese strategy, which is to defeat Zheng Zhilong's forces. As we all know, the relationship between Zheng Zhilong and the Japanese shogunate is very close. The maritime security of the Japanese shogunate was provided by Zheng Zhilong. If the Tiger Ben Army wants to land smoothly in Japan, it is necessary to remove the hidden danger of Zheng Zhilong.

The third is the Jiangnan area.

This direction is probably the most resistant. In the Jiangnan region, there was no longer the main force of the Ming army. Some local armed forces are not at all opponents of the Tiger Army. As long as there is a Suzaku legion, it should be done.

The main task of the Vermilion Bird Legion is actually to attack Fujian and sweep away Zheng Zhilong's land nest. Most of Zheng Zhilong's belongings are in the coastal areas of Fujian. The Tiger Ben army attacked from the land and swept the coastal areas of Fujian, which could inflict heavy losses on Zheng Zhilong.

"My lord, Zheng Chenggong is dead."

Wang Shide suddenly came in, beside Zhang Zhun, and said in a low voice.

"Got it."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said expressionlessly.

Regarding Zheng Chenggong's death, Zhang Zhun had already estimated it. His order was to deal with the front line on the spot, and with Yin Fengyi's Xing style, he would definitely be shot on the spot. As long as Zheng Chenggong is caught, he will not be able to escape the fate of death. Now Yin Fengyi reports that Zheng Chenggong is dead, and he is really dead.

In fact, Zheng Chenggong's death is good for the Tiger Army. He was killed by the Tiger Army, which was beneficial for the Tiger Army to carry out a future Japanese raid. The combat effectiveness of the Japanese Navy can only be said to be average, and on the sea, it is not at all the opponent of the Tiger Army Navy. The key to whether the Japanese strategy can be carried out smoothly lies in whether it can effectively prevent Zheng Zhilong from reinforcing Japan.

Now, the Tiger Army has killed Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Zhilong will probably be red-eyed and look for the Tiger Ben Army everywhere desperately. Since Zheng Zhilong wants to fight hard with the Tiger Ben Army Navy, then fight well. If Zheng Zhilong's fleet is disabled, he will have no possibility of reinforcing Japan.

"By the way, your master, it's okay over there."

Zhang Zhun asked with concern.

"It's fine."

Wang Shide hurriedly replied.

His master is He Fengsheng. Wang Shide left Zhang Zhun for a few months, and then went back to do He Fengsheng's ideological work. After several months of hard work, Wang Shide finally lived up to expectations and successfully persuaded his master to ask him to serve the Tiger Ben Army.

With the expansion of the area controlled by the Tiger Ben Army, more and more high-end talents are needed. The addition of He Fengsheng is of great benefit to the Tiger Ben Army. He Fengsheng's disciples are all over the world, and this time he came over, bringing more than 30 powerful men. His arrival also made more scholars in Huguang and even in the Jiangnan region devote themselves to the banner of the Tiger Army.

In the circumstances of the time, scholars were the object of contention from all sides, even Zhang Zhun. He can rely on a group of mud-legged military households to start a business, fight and kill everywhere, and achieve hegemony. However, in terms of managing internal affairs, these big and coarse people are obviously not good. If it weren't for Gao Hongtu, Zhang Shenyan, Qiao Yunsheng and a group of experienced old courtiers sitting in the Ministry of Political Affairs, the Tiger Benjun would definitely not have today's achievements.

There were footsteps outside again, but it was Wang Junyu who came. When everyone saw his happy face, they knew that good news was coming. Sure enough, Wang Junyu's diligent report said: "Lord Dudu, Emperor Chongzhen has left the Jingshi. ”

Zhang Zhun stood up and said in a deep voice: "Let's go to Jingshi"
