Chapter 517: Pre-War Planning

In fact, Yang Mingyue had thought about crossing the river for a long time, as early as three years ago, he had a plan to attack Bao'an County, because at that time, the science and technology of the eastern capital was extremely developed, red-clothed cannons, secret weapons, three-bow bed crossbows, strong crossbows, rifles, and other advanced weapons, as long as the emperor had them, he had them in the eastern capital, and even had more inventory than the imperial capital.

In this case, Yang Mingyue firmly believes that even in the face of the soldiers and horses of the Holy Dynasty, he has the strength to fight, but as for Cai Wenzhuo, who owns two counties, it makes him extremely greedy, this is a piece of fat on the side of his mouth, and he can eat it whenever he wants.

He waited for three years, and in three years, he invented many things, and the weapons such as redcoat cannons and rifles were too numerous to count, and they were definitely capable of large-scale engagements.

As for what Wang Xu said, Yang Mingyue's desire to fight Bao'an County is equivalent to declaring war on the three countries, and this sentence is very reasonable.

Just imagine, Cai Wenzhuo was seriously injured and could not command the overall situation, and this means that the Ming Kingdom is now a plate of scattered sand, no matter who it is, it has the strength to destroy the Ming Kingdom alone, however, will the rest of the countries regard you as a gradual strength to annex the Ming Kingdom? The answer is no!

Just like the current 1 Eastern Capital, if he wants to fight the Ming Kingdom, Wang Xu will definitely not let him succeed!

Originally, the strength of the Eastern Capital was very terrifying, and if he got the land of the Ming Kingdom again, his strength would immediately skyrocket, and maybe even the Holy Dynasty would not be able to compare.

Therefore, no matter how big the price is, Dongjun can't be allowed to succeed!

And in the south of the Hu State, the same, when Wang Xu sent troops to join the battlefield of Bao'an County, he is likely to come to intervene, maybe the purpose of the southern capital is not to occupy Bao'an County, at least not to let the Holy Dynasty and the Eastern Capital succeed, because once it succeeds, Hu will not be protected, and it will be his turn next.

Of course, there is another possibility!

Maybe. At the same time that Wang Xu sent troops to Bao'an County, he would spare no effort to attack Qingyuan County and recover the lost land, although Wang Xu's army was strong. But it is also a bit difficult to open up two battlefields at the same time.

Several years of development have increased the strength of the four countries, and at this time, they will definitely not sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. It's like taking advantage of this opportunity to make a profit, no matter whether it succeeds or not, you have to do your best.

Isn't there such a saying, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to achieve things!

........

Imperial capital.

Military Aircraft Division.

In the lobby, everyone is sitting in danger, this is a meeting held by Jia Hui, the participants in the meeting are six departments, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Shuntianfu, Liao Yun, Zheng Li, Fukangan, Goudan, Sun Yu, the New Fourth Army and other generals, if you have to say the number of people, about 100 people.

The purpose of the meeting. It is to discuss Wang Xu's 'typing' word.

"Your Majesty just said that?"

Huang Quan looked at Jia Hui.

Jia Hui nodded: "Your Majesty's meaning must be that you want to start a war with the Ming Kingdom, and we have to discuss how to use troops." ”

Han Shushu said: "Your Majesty promised Cai Wenzhuo three years ago that he would not set foot in the territory of the Ming Kingdom within five years, and if we do this now, wouldn't it be dishonest to the world?" ”

Zheng Li smiled: "What kind of dishonesty is this, isn't there such a saying, soldiers are not tired of cheating." ”

"That being said, it's the truth."

Han Shushu said: "I don't think Your Majesty means to start a war with the Ming Kingdom now. It is better for us to garrison the border first, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and see that the Ming Kingdom and the Eastern Capital are both defeated, and it is not too late to do it at that time. Maybe by then, it will already be two years later. ”

Sun Yu shook his head: "Mr. Calligraphy and Painting, do you think the Ming Kingdom can support two years?" I don't think so. ”

The other generals also nodded, the current strength of the Eastern Capital is visible to everyone, even if the Holy Dynasty fights against it, the outcome is unpredictable. What's more, it is just a Ming country, maybe within half a year, the land of the two counties will be returned to the eastern capital.

Jia Hui looked at the map and said, "What the calligraphy and painting say is not unreasonable. ”

Everyone looked at Jia Hui in unison to see what he wanted to express.

Jia Hui said: "In the past five years, Cai Wenzhuo has vigorously opened up the grassland, and the grain is piled up, as long as there is food, are you afraid that there will be no soldiers?" ”

"Moreover, there are 500,000 Cai Wenzhuo's troops in Tuntian on the grassland, although they are not regular soldiers, they can be trained every few days while they are in Tuntian, and in case of war, as long as they all wear heavy armor, they can be put into battle."

"There are also powerful elephant soldiers, the grassland has everything, there are 300,000 now, if it is not enough, it can be called at any time."

"Mingguo's strength is still very strong, we should never underestimate him!"

Han Shushu said: "Master Jia, you seem to have said a little less. ”

"What?"

Han Shushu said: "Cai Wenzhuo's most important thing is agriculture, his food is enough to feed two million troops, and can support more than a year, in this case, what will we do?" ”

"If the Holy Dynasty is in danger, and we have countless grains in our hands, then I will definitely take out all the food and expand the army in a big way, whether it is a recruit or not, equipped with armor and able to enter the battle, maybe I can't fight a tough battle, it's always okay to fight a good fight, right?"

Han Shushu said very reasonably, to use an analogy, when the two armies are fighting, there is no need for all the horses to be dispatched, just use 300,000 elephant soldiers as the vanguard to fight, as long as the enemy is defeated, then the newly recruited recruits will come in handy, and it is still very scary for hundreds of thousands of recruits to charge together.

"What I want to say is that the elephant soldier has rough skin and thick flesh, and all of them are equipped with the heaviest armor, even if they take one or two shots, it will not be a big problem, unless they encounter a large number of secret weapons and red-clothed cannons, otherwise, they will not be defeated, so the strength of the Ming Kingdom cannot be ignored."

Han Shushu continued: "I suggest, don't rush to send troops into the battlefield, it's not good to be in the open, we might as well station troops at the border, wait until the two countries are defeated, and then attack, then it will be much easier." ”

Everyone nodded.

Jia Hui looked at the map and said: "If we put a large number of troops into the battlefield of Bao'an County, Hu Guo's high-ranking power will definitely attack Qingyuan County, and we must take precautions in advance." ”

"I wonder which general would like to go to Guxi County to garrison?"

Gusi County?

"Shouldn't the defensive power go to Qingyuan County?" Sun Yu frowned.

Han Shuhua understood what Jia Hui meant, and explained: "General Sun, the role of the Tunbing Guxi County is greater than that of the Tunbing Qingyuan County, the location of Guxi County is very important, the front can go back to the imperial capital, the south can support Qingyuan County, and the north can also attack the North County, it can be said that it is extended in all directions, before the war is not completely understood, it is best to station the army there, and it is good to listen to the order at any time, if Gao Quan does not go to Qingyuan County, then we can consider taking the opportunity to attack the North County, the opportunity is rare." ”

Sun Yu thought for a while and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let me go, my 200,000 light cavalry is enough to deal with any war, plus Ben will garrison in Guxi County many times, and he is also very familiar with it, and there is no one more suitable than me here." ”

In fact, this is also what everyone expects, and it is also the meaning of Jia Hui and Han calligraphy and painting, it went smoothly, Sun Yu received the task, and led an army of 200,000 troops to garrison Guxi County on the same day.

"Lord Ye, where is Cai Wenzhuo's army?"

Hearing this, Ye Xiong said: "Yesterday came the news, because Cai Wenzhuo was critically ill, many generals of the Ming Kingdom did not accept anyone, and finally Zhu Aoqing led 300,000 elite men and horses to aid Bao'an County, and has now arrived in Bao'an County, and it is expected that in a few days, it will be able to reach Wangcheng." ”

"Zhu Aoqing's 300,000 people, that is the real elite, including 100,000 elephant soldiers, 50,000 heavy cavalry, 100,000 light cavalry, 50,000 chariots, and some stragglers with different roles, together, there should be 310,000."

Han Shushu smiled: "It seems that the Ming Kingdom is indeed a plate of scattered sand, if someone commands it, they will never let Zhu Aoqing's 300,000 soldiers and horses fight." ”

"Why did Mr. Calligraphy and Painting say that?"

Jia Hui asked.

Han Shushu said: "Dongjun is coming, what Ming has to do is to defend, but you look at Zhu Aoqing's 300,000 people, how can there be defensive troops, all are field troops, if it is a field battle, it must be powerful, but to defend the city, it is a bit overkill." ”

Indeed, whether it is heavy cavalry, elephant soldiers, light cavalry, or chariots, these are all sharp weapons in the field, but they are of no use when they are taken to the city wall.

"Mr. Calligraphy and Painting Gao Jian."

Jia Hui said. (To be continued.) )
