Such a large-scale conquest, the Jiangning battalion has not experienced for a long time, and the mobilization of 80,000 soldiers at a time can be said to be a very rare thing, and Su Tiancheng's plan is to mobilize 100,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers to capture Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou in the time of the year, and comprehensively recover Xiuyan, Phoenix, Xindian, Dadian, Changdian, Kuandian, Yongdian, Tianshui, Niumaozhai and other places, completely control North Korea, so that the Houjin will lose the support of North Korea, so that the Houjin's support will become less and less, and finally the national strength will begin to decline.

The battle in Liaodong, although Huang Taiji won, but for the relatively weak Houjin, there is still some fatal, in this battle, Houjin did not get much substantial gain, Hong Chengchou specifically talked about Zu Dabi's arrangement, Zu Dabi took the initiative to stay, blocked the Houjin Tartars, has arranged sergeants, blow up the artillery, burn the grain and grass, can not be left to the Houjin Tartars, the border army has also done this, so this is the Houjin Tartars many expeditions, the only one that did not get benefits, Mobilizing so many sergeants, Houjin also needs to consume a lot of grain and grass, and to this extent, the border army dragged Huang Taiji exhausted with his own lives.

The rapid development of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, especially the wharf of Weihaiwei, has become a cornucopia, a large amount of grain and commodities continue to pass through here, a large amount of income into the city, Jiangning battalion can be described as a soldier with enough food.

In the process of conquest, morale is of course important, but logistics supply is also decisive, and many times, war is a competition in logistics, and in this respect, the Jiangning battalion has a huge advantage.

Later, the Jinshui Division was annihilated, and Bohai Bay was completely occupied by the Jiangning battalion. The attack and supply of the Jiangning battalion can be completed by relying on the naval division, and in this regard, the blow to Houjin is also heavy.

Combining so many factors, Su Tiancheng has absolute confidence.

When Hong Chengchou entered the wing, Su Tiancheng stood up.

"Lord Hong. It's hard to stick to Liaodong for such a long time. ”

"Xiaguan is ashamed, he has lived up to the expectations of adults, the Liaodong Border Army has suffered such a big fiasco, Xiaguan has not been able to adhere to his own opinions, and has not been able to give Chen Xinjia more suggestions, and the Xiaguan is also responsible for the fiasco of the Liaodong Border Army."

"You're right, you do have some responsibilities. But there are some things that you can't control, the fiasco of the Liaodong border army can be said to be expected, when you come to Fuzhou, don't blame yourself for this matter, I can tell you clearly, let you leave Liaodong. It was my idea, you continue to stay in Liaodong. It's hard to make much of a difference. ”

"When Xia Guan was on the road, he also analyzed that only by following the side of the adults can Xia Guan really show it, and he is really a little aggrieved about the time in Liaodong for a year."

"Hmm. This expedition is not trivial, you have just come to Fuzhou, and you are not very familiar with the situation, so join me in the expedition to Daishan. Completely eradicate the red flag of Daishan, after this battle, the army waved the army to Gaizhou, when the time comes, you need to lead the army, starting from Xuanzhou, passing through Xiuyan, directly into Gaizhou, I took another way of the army, starting from Fuzhou, head-on attack Gaizhou, Sun Chuanting led the water division, from Lianyun Island directly into Gaizhou, the three-way army attacked Gaizhou from three directions to win Gaizhou. ”

Hong Chengchou stared at the sand table tightly, he looked at it for about half an hour, on this sand table, there are many flags he is familiar with, all of which are the routes of the army's actions and attacks, when he was in Liaodong, he once suggested that Chen Xinjia also use such a sand table, but unfortunately Chen Xinjia did not agree.

"My lord, the lower official knows that this time to destroy the righteous red flag of Dai Shan, I'm afraid it will be a vicious battle."

"What you said is right, we must have a clear understanding, the combat effectiveness of the Manchurian Eight Banners is not weak, their bravery, mainly manifested in persistence, will not collapse easily, even if they have suffered major losses, they can also persist to the most rear, it is not easy to do this, I once said that a single contest, although the Houjin Tartars are stronger than the border army, but it is not an absolute advantage, for every expedition, the Houjin Tartars can win, it lies in their persistence, Chongzhen's four-year battle of the Great Ling River, The performance is particularly prominent, on the other hand, my Ming army, the difference is persistence, a slight problem, can not be persistent, the army will collapse, this is actually the embodiment of the basic quality of the army, but you and I should rest assured, Jiangning battalion in terms of persistence, stronger than the Houjin Tartars. ”

Hong Chengchou nodded.

"My lord, Sun Chuanting led 20,000 soldiers to wait for Xuanzhou, and Jierharang led 20,000 soldiers with blue flags to attack, it is impossible to take advantage of anything, the lower officials considered whether to ask Sun Chuanting to drag Jierharang, the army wiped out the red flag of Daishan, and turned back to encircle and suppress Jierharang's blue flag."

Su Tiancheng's face was a little serious.

"Lord Hong, the lesson of Liaodong is still in front of you, Chen Xinjia's plan is not wrong, think about it, he is also to completely solve the problem of Liaodong, but unfortunately he underestimated the ability of Huang Taiji, underestimated the combat effectiveness of Houjin Tartar, the problem we are facing is the same, extinguishing the positive red flag of Daishan, have you ever thought about what kind of shock this will cause in Houjin, if we still want to exterminate the blue flag of Jierharang, or even the white flag of Duoduo, this will shake the root of Houjin and Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji may be desperate, led the army to press over, which is not conducive to our plan, our purpose is to knock out the Houjin full eight banners one by one, within this year, knock out the positive red flag of Daishan, exterminate the Han army stationed in Haizhou, occupy Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou and other places, and Liaodong echoes, if the border army and Yulin battalion in Liaodong have difficulties, Jiangning battalion will go straight to Guangning and Xipingbao, and Houjin Tartar across the Liao River confrontation. ”

Hong Chengchou blushed a little, in his heart, he hated the Houjin Tartars, this time in the battle of Liaodong, the performance of the Houjin Tartars was too cruel, where he passed, there was no grass, when Huang Taiji led the army to prepare to attack Dalinghe City, he specially boasted about the situation in Montenegro, and the 10,000 Ming border troops guarding Montenegro were all killed by Houjin Tartars, Huang Taiji meant, if the Ming army in Dalinghe City did not surrender, when the city was broken, the situation was the same.

"My lord, the lower officials are not thinking well, and they are just thinking about killing as many Houjin Tartars as possible."

"Your mood, I can understand, the battle of Liaodong is a great stimulus to you, this matter, for all of us, is a huge stimulus, but the more this is the case, the more we need to be calm, the extermination of the Houjin Tartar is not as simple as we imagined, the combat effectiveness of the Houjin Tartar is not weak, if you can't plan well, it may be that you can't reach it quickly."

After Qu Qingze entered the wing, Su Tiancheng stood next to the sand table and looked at Qu Qingze.

"Lao Qu, let me ask you a question, if Duoduo divides his troops to attack Jinzhou and Lushun, how are you going to deal with it."

Qu Qingze was a little caught off guard, this has always been a headache for him, the army led by Duoduo has a total of 60,000 people, the combat effectiveness of these people is not weak, the 30,000 army to hold Fuzhou, it should not be a big problem, Houjin Tartar don't think about being able to shake it, but if Houjin Tartar attacks Lushun and Jinzhou, then it will really be a little troublesome.

After thinking for a while, Qu Qingze blushed and shook his head.

"My lord, the lower officials haven't thought of a very good way, unless it is to divide the troops, leaving 10,000 soldiers to garrison Fuzhou, 10,000 soldiers to guard Jinzhou, and 10,000 soldiers to defend Lushun."

"Oh, if there are 10,000 soldiers left in Fuzhou, can you hold back Duoduo's 60,000 troops, you can guarantee that 10,000 soldiers will hold Fuzhou, if there is an accident in Fuzhou, won't it disturb the overall situation."

"Please make this clear."

Su Tiancheng smiled, this question, in fact, he has been thinking about it for a long time, this problem is indeed difficult to solve, there will be gains and losses, and it is impossible to cover all aspects.

"You are the commander-in-chief responsible for garrisoning Fuzhou, I give you a suggestion, if you want to hold three cities, the possibility is not great, you must have a focus, either to hold Fuzhou and Jinzhou, or to hold Fuzhou and Lushun, my suggestion is to hold Fuzhou and Lushun, Fuzhou is the most critical place, leave 25,000 soldiers to be stationed here, as for Lushun, leave 5,000 soldiers to wait, it is enough."

"My lord, isn't Jinzhou guarded, and besides, there are 5,000 soldiers guarding Lushun, isn't there too few people?"

"From two aspects of analysis, Duoduo did not dare to take too risks, first, if Duoduo divided his troops, occupied Jinzhou, and attacked Lushun, how many troops would be needed, at least 30,000 people would be needed, leaving the sergeants to attack Fuzhou, only 30,000 people remained, the army led by Duoduo, including 40,000 Han troops, in any case, the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the Manchu Eight Banners, and the Manchu Eight Banners are a little contemptuous of the Han army, and even unaccustomed to it, Duoduo commands the army, there are already difficulties, and I want a good command, It takes a lot of thought, second, Duoduo occupies Jinzhou, there is no meaning, Jinzhou is between Lushun and Fuzhou, Fuzhou and Lushun are occupied by my Jiangning camp, is it possible for Duoduo to sleep, I'm afraid I am worried all the time. ”

"This is Duoduo's difficulty, in addition, don't forget, stationed on the twin islands, there is also the Penglai warship formation, at the critical moment, they can play a huge role, if Duoduo wants to attack the Penglai warship formation, but there will be hardship."

"In fact, Duoduo can divide the troops, this is a good thing for us, the troops are scattered, it takes time to assemble, if his troops are too scattered, don't forget the Jiangning battalion soldiers in Xuanzhou."

"Of course, it is also necessary to prevent unfavorable situations from occurring, if you feel the danger, or if Duoduo's attack is desperate, then you must mobilize the reinforcements of the 10,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers gathered in Dengzhou in time, with this layer of security, there is no big problem in holding Fuzhou and Lushun."
