Chapter 871: Ambition

Hong Chengchou led an army of 30,000 people, when he came to Fuzhou, his face was a little ugly, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Liaodong for a long time were not familiar with water warfare, and when they called the combat ship, they were dizzy and dizzy, and they couldn't adapt for a long time.

It's a pity that Hong Chengchou has no time to rest, no time to adjust, and the action of Sergeant Houjin has been fully rolled out.

Qu Qingze had to bring a lot of information every day, all about Gaizhou, Yaozhou, Haizhou, Xuanzhou, etc., which indicated that the Houjin Tartars were preparing to launch a large-scale attack on the Jiangning camp.

Fuzhou, the mansion where Su Tiancheng lived.

All the officers above the commander of the Jiangning battalion and the guard were concentrated here.

Many years have passed, the Jiangning battalion is rarely concentrated at the same time, and now the Jiangning battalion, in addition to Anning Fort and Jingbian, there are still 2,000 people, and the rest of the 113,000 soldiers are all under the direct control of Su Tiancheng, of which 30,000 soldiers are waiting in Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, and 83,000 soldiers have come to Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and other places.

Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo, because of their performance in the battle, were promoted to a thousand households, and they were fortunate to participate in this meeting, Yan Yingyuan has become the most powerful staff officer around Su Tiancheng, and the addition of these newcomers has made Su Tiancheng have a trace of gratification, Jiangning Battalion must develop, and there can be no rising star all the time.

Thinking of the Jiangning battalion that has gradually grown and developed, Su Tiancheng also has a lot of feelings, the original Jiangning battalion, with only 3,000 people, gradually expanded with the beginning of the battle to exterminate the Liukou. For more than ten years, it has become the first army of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no army that can be comparable to the Jiangning battalion, and in the process, the Jiangning battalion has also experienced some twists and turns. Matured step by step, of course, Su Tiancheng's concept of governing the army, as well as sufficient military spending guarantees, are the reasons why the Jiangning battalion can really grow.

The development of Jiangning Camp completely shows Su Tiancheng's thoughts, first of all, self-preservation, and at the beginning of the crossing, it can be described as a troubled era. The Ming Dynasty was troubled internally and externally, crumbling, harassed by the Houjin Tartars outside, rebelled by rogues inside, the common people were hungry and poorly clothed, and the internal party strife in the court was serious, and officials at all levels thought of their own interests, and did not care about the life or death of the people. Many people were forced to rebel.

Su Tiancheng at this time. The imperial examination became the eye of the palace examination, and he asked for release, and became the magistrate of Jiangning County, that is, from this time, the Jiangning camp began to develop step by step, and gradually became the main force to exterminate the Liukou. Su Tiancheng, who was familiar with history, was also aware of the shortcomings of the Liukou themselves, and adopted a series of targeted measures to gradually weaken the strength of the Liukou, after several years of conquest. In the end, in Kuizhou, Sichuan, the Liukou were completely annihilated, which fundamentally changed history.

This is Su Tiancheng's first step to exterminate the rogue.

Next is the Houjin Tartars, to maintain the rule of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to make peace with the Houjin Tartars, and it is impossible to condone the Houjin Tartars.

Su Tiancheng always had a misunderstanding before, that is, all the conditions are ripe, before he can start doing things, but the development of the situation is completely beyond his expectations, in this era, it is impossible to do things completely until the opportunity is ripe, this is like starting a house, it is impossible to wait until the materials are complete, and the money is ready.

Exterminate the Liukou, Su Tiancheng is not fully prepared, as for dealing with the Houjin Tartars, he is even more hasty to go into battle, it is nothing more than Zhu Youzhen is anxious, thinking about showing it in Liaodong, only then did these things come later, in fact, in the battle to deal with the Houjin Tartars, Su Tiancheng's understanding has not changed, as long as the Ming Dynasty is strong enough, it will definitely be able to exterminate the Houjin in one fell swoop, and it is the Houjin Tartars who can't afford to wait, not the Ming Dynasty.

At this point, Su Tiancheng can't continue to wait, and he can't wait.

The room was very quiet, and on the wall in front of it, there was a huge map, and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion were accustomed to such maps, including the sand table used in combat.

The meeting has been going on for a long time.

Su Tiancheng held a special bamboo strip in his hand, looked at everyone, and slowly spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the offensive that began in mid-May has lasted until now, a month has passed, the Jiangning battalion has achieved fruitful results, wiped out the Houjin naval division, annihilated 15,000 Houjin Tartars, occupied Lushun, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Xuancheng, Xuanzhou, Tieshan and other places, it can be said that we have directly threatened the nest of the Houjin Tartars, but you must also know that the victory we have won is also painful, 100,000 border troops in Liaodong launched a large-scale attack on the Houjin Tartars, losing nearly 70,000 border troops, If we hadn't launched an attack from Dengzhou, Liaodong would have been in great danger. ”

"Lord Hong Chengchou came from Liaodong, just told about the many things that happened in Liaodong, I won't repeat it, I hope you don't want to evaluate the battle of Liaodong, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, what we need to consider now is how to fight with the Houjin Tartars, how to exterminate the Houjin Tartars."

"Qu Qingze just said the situation, Huang Taiji is really painstaking, he actually sent an army of 100,000 to prepare to encircle and suppress my Jiangning battalion, the changes in Fuzhou, Huang Taiji may not be clear, that is, Hong Chengchou led 30,000 soldiers to come, our garrison in Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and other places, reached more than 80,000 people, the next step, I am also ready to transfer 20,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers from Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou again, called combat ships, directly inserted into Lianyun Island, Gaizhou, and take Gaizhou in one fell swoop, at that time, our Jiangning battalion soldiers, That's 100,000 people. ”

"What I need to remind you is that every next battle is a vicious battle, and it is all fought with strength, don't think about opportunism, what we need to do is to do our best to exterminate the Houjin Tartars, we need to exterminate the vitality of the Houjin Tartars, for this, we may pay a lot of sacrifices, but such sacrifices are worth it."

"Since the establishment of the Jiangning battalion, we have experienced large and small battles, we have achieved the final victory, I hope you will remember this history, exterminate the rogues, it is only the first step for us to do a good job, the next most critical is to fight with the Houjin Tartars, we must completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars."

"The current situation, you are all clear, Huang Taiji sent heavy troops, two ways to attack, all the way from Haizhou, the target is Fuzhou, all the way from Liaoyang, through Xiuyan, straight into Xuanzhou, from the latest intelligence, the attack on Fuzhou is led by Duoduo with the white flag sergeant and stationed in Haizhou 40,000 Han troops, the attack on Xuanzhou is led by Zierharang with the blue flag sergeant and Dai Shan led by the red flag sergeant, Houjin detected the intelligence, Jiangning battalion stationed in Fuzhou 30,000 soldiers, Xuanzhou 20,000 soldiers, The purpose of the 100,000 troops sent by Huang Taiji is to let us return to Dengzhou. ”

"Such a request, of course we will not agree, since we have come to Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, we are ready to take root here, this is originally the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and the people here are our people."

"We don't want to go, Huang Taiji sent heavy troops, thinking about driving us away, what is the outcome, you are very clear, either we will beat the Houjin Tartars to the dust, exterminate their vitality, let them retreat, or we will return to Dengzhou in the dust, I have made up my mind, we must defeat the Houjin Tartars, and then it depends on how you will choose, I have long emphasized that it is not enough to have a little blood, we also have to have absolute strength, Let the Houjin Tartars tremble in front of our Jiangning camp. ”

"There are two places on the battlefield, Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, the battle in Fuzhou, Qu Qingze is in charge of commanding, the main task is to hold Fuzhou, taking into account Jinzhou, Lushun and other places, you are like nails, nail me to death in Fuzhou, and drag the 60,000 army led by Duoduo to the death, you only have 30,000 people, in the face of twice your own Houjin Tartars, you must show a fearless attitude, dare to face the battle, and skillfully preserve your own strength, you will hold on for at least a month or more, so that Duoduo can not pull out, I can only stay in Fuzhou. ”

"Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, follow me to Xuanzhou, there are 50,000 soldiers stationed in Xuanzhou, Sun Chuanting commands 20,000 of them, responsible for blocking the blue flag of Jierharang, Hong Chengchou and I take 30,000 brothers to meet the red flag of Daishan."

Speaking of this, Su Tiancheng's face became serious and his voice became louder.

"The focus of this battle is to fight with Daishan, and our purpose is to make the positive red flag in the Eight Banners of Houjin Man completely disappear."

After Su Tiancheng said this, the room was unusually quiet, what does it mean to destroy the strength of the Houjin Tartars and a banner at one time, everyone is clear, and it is the positive red flag of Daishan, in terms of its status in the Houjin, the positive red flag is second only to the positive yellow flag and the inlaid yellow flag, if the positive red flag can be exterminated, for the Houjin Tartar and Huang Taiji, the blow is huge, and even unbearable.

"The deployment of the campaign is clear to you, we must achieve the goal, we must achieve the goal, once we extinguish the Zhenghong Banner of Daishan, and in turn besiege the Houjin Tartars with blue flags led by Zierharang, of course, the Zhenghong Banner is destroyed, and all the deployments of the Houjin Tartars have failed, at that time, they will definitely retreat in an all-round way, and we will start a full-scale attack, which is divided into three ways, directly pointing to Gaizhou."

After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, he slowly put down the bamboo pole.

"Every step of the deployment of the campaign is very critical, you must stick to your own posts, and there must be no problems in any link, otherwise we will be in deep danger." (To be continued......)
