No matter how it is analyzed, the Jiangning battalion is about to go on an expedition, it is impossible to conceal it, in this regard, it is also what Su Tiancheng is most concerned about, judging from the information obtained by Qu Qingze, the Huang Taiji of Houjin is also ready, after the establishment of the crown prince, there is no relaxation of the deployment of defense, Haizhou, Yaozhou, Haizhou, Guangning, Xipingbao and other places of Houjin Tartar have formed a whole, forming a solid defensive line, any point of attack, the rest of the place will be reinforced, and corresponding adjustments will be made, Including the Houjin Tartars stationed in Shenyang and Liaoyang, they will also react.

The second is Mongolia's Mongolian Eight Banners.

The situation in the Mongolian steppe is indeed changing, the good thing is that the original unbreakable alliance has been broken, and some of the steppe tribes have changed their strategy and began to rely on the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, which is actually to take refuge in the Ming court, but another change also exists, that is, several major tribes began to form a group, and under the leadership of Houjin, they began to integrate the Mengbaqi, including the Horqin tribe, the Han tribe, the Khalkha tribe, etc., which made the Mengbaqi's combat effectiveness stronger. At any time, we can rush to the back of the fund.

In terms of geographical location, if the Ming court can not completely defeat the Houjin Tartars, the grassland tribes must be attached to the Houjin Tartars, which has something to do with the origin between them, but also because the distance between them is very close, to form an alliance, first of all, it is necessary to use force as a guarantee, just imagine, if the Houjin is weak, such an alliance is impossible to establish.

If the Ming Dynasty exterminated the Houjin Tartars, the Mongolian steppe would naturally make a choice, and those tribes who wanted to fish in troubled waters would definitely suffer a heavy blow.

Therefore, Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning battalion, including the border army in Liaodong. In the face of the two armies, the Manchu Eight Banners, the Han Eight Banners stationed in Haizhou and Guangning, and the Mengba Banners in the grassland, the combat effectiveness of the two armies was not weak.

The Governor's Chamber.

Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Bi Maokang and Qu Qingze are all in the house, plus Su Tiancheng, this is the highest command level of the Jiangning battalion. In addition to these people, two others also came to Dengzhou. Lu Xiangsheng, governor of Liaodong, and Qin Liangyu, governor of Datong.

There was such a formation, needless to say, it was to discuss the matter of the Golden Tartars after the conquest.

The map had already been laid out on the ground, and some markings had already been made on it, and after such a long time of preparation, the scouts had already drawn detailed maps of Liaodong, Dengzhou, Xuanzhou, Haizhou, Shenyang and other places.

Su Tiancheng stood in the middle of the map, pointing at the cities on the map with the wooden stick in his hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a strategic decisive battle between my Ming Dynasty and the Houjin Tartars, which is different from previous expeditions. The purpose of this time is to completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars, and today we are here to discuss a detailed operational plan, and once the campaign plan is clear, the Liaodong Frontier Army and the Datong Frontier Army must all start the expedition and make specific operational arrangements in accordance with the requirements of the plan. It can be determined by itself, and the Governor's Office does not make uniform requirements. However, the deployment of the campaign cannot be modified, nor can it be shaken, no matter what situation is encountered, even if the imperial court has other requirements, it cannot be shaken, and the order of the foreign monarch will not be affected. Our expedition and deployment must not be disturbed in any way, and during this period, the Jiangning Battalion, the Liaodong Border Army and the Datong Border Army will be adjusted in all matters. All of them will be suspended, and if the imperial court transfers or adjusts the candidates, they can be pushed to me without obeying the order. ”

"I emphasize the requirements of time, starting from August this year, to the end of the five months, we must break through the defense line of Haizhou and Quang Ninh, that is to say, the Houjin Tatars stationed here will either be completely wiped out by us, or they will be withdrawn, from the beginning of next year to June next year, in half a year, we must take Shenyang, from July next year, to the end of next year, we must recover all the territories occupied by the Houjin Tatars, and completely destroy the Houjin Tatars."

"The overall time requirement is one and a half years, and I don't like to repeat what I say, but I still want to emphasize that in this year and a half, unless it is to make military achievements and promote officers, the rest of the adjustments will be suspended, and all adjustments and appointments will be subject to the edict of the Governor's Office."

"The overall deployment of the campaign, you have all seen it, and you also know the specific situation of the Dao, I will not repeat it, the time to think about it has been two days, if you have any questions, just put them forward, so that we can further improve the deployment, Lord Hong, the relevant deployment, you can emphasize it."

After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Hong Chengchou looked at everyone and spoke first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this expedition, the Houjin Tartars have also made all the preparations, gathered in Haizhou and other places of the Houjin Tartars, there are the white flags and blue flags in the eight banners, the yellow flag, the yellow flag, the red flag, and the red flag in the eight banners of the Han Dynasty, with a total strength of 100,000 people, and the Houjin Tartars gathered in Guangning and other places, there are the white flags and red flags in the eight banners, the white flag, the blue flag, and the blue flag in the eight banners of the Han Dynasty, as well as part of the Han army, with a total strength of 120,000 people, in addition, stationed in Shenyang, Liaoyang also has the Yellow Flag, the Yellow Flag, the Blue Flag, and the reorganized Red Flag, with a total strength of nearly 100,000 people, and almost all of the more than 300,000 troops of the Houjin are gathered in these places, and Shenyang, Haizhou, and Guangning have formed a triangle that echoes each other from afar. From this point of view, Houjin is fully prepared. ”

Just as Hong Chengchou was speaking, Su Tiancheng handed the wooden stick in his hand to Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou took the wooden stick, pointed to the map, and said the military deployment of Houjin.

"After the expedition of the Golden Tartars, the adults made a request, the overall deployment is unshakable, the purpose of the army's expedition, is to exterminate the Houjin Tartars, from the deployment of combat effectiveness, our army is not dominant, Dengzhou, Fuzhou and other places of Jiangning battalion soldiers, the total strength of about 100,000, Liaodong border army, Yulin battalion sergeants, the total strength of about 80,000, Datong border army total strength of about 60,000, that is to say, our army can mobilize a total of 240,000 troops, we must rely on these 240,000 people, annihilating Houjin's army of 300,000. ”

"Judging from the deployment of the Houjin Tatars, Shenyang, Guangning and Haizhou seem to form a whole, but there is an opportunity to take advantage of this, I personally believe that the focus of the Houjin Tatar defense is still placed in Shenyang and Guangning, which is also for a reason, once we take Guangning, after crossing the Liao River, we can directly attack Shenyang, and there is no obstruction, but after we take Haizhou, the Houjin Tartars stationed in Liaoyang are bound to resist desperately to prevent us from attacking Shenyang."

"From the analysis of geographical location and road distance, the distance between Shenyang and Liaoyang is much closer, and the distance between Haizhou and Guangning is about the same, which also enables Houjin Tatars to take care of each other and take care of each other."

"In this case, it must have increased the difficulty of our expedition, the adults have already done an analysis, we can only attack in three ways, in order to better make each breakthrough of the Houjin Tartars, so that the Houjin Tartars can not take care of the end, the Jiangning battalion launched an attack from the direction of Haizhou, the Liaodong Border Army launched an attack from the direction of Guangning, and the Datong Border Army launched an attack from the direction of the grassland with the assistance of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, and contained the Mengbaqi, our three-way attack can be coordinated and hit the sore spot of the Houjin Tartar, so that it can really play a role."

"The offensive that began in August, the key offensive direction is the Haizhou direction, the heavy task of the offensive is the Jiangning battalion, the offensive in the Haizhou direction, it is necessary to exterminate the vitality of the Houjin Tatars, and must not let the Houjin Tatars retreat calmly, occupying the city is not our main goal, the Jiangning battalion attacked Haizhou in the process, stationed in Guangning and Houjin Tatars, it is very likely to reinforce, which requires the border army of Liaodong to seize the opportunity to launch an attack, if it can be reinforced by the Houjin Tatars, occupy Guangning in one fell swoop, It will be the greatest credit, the Liaodong border army occupies Guangning, and the Houjin Tartars in Shenyang will not dare to attack in an all-round way, otherwise they will not be able to keep Shenyang, and they may not be able to bear such losses. ”

"According to the overall deployment of the campaign, the time for the Liaodong Border Army to launch an offensive is from September to October, and it will take three to four months to recover all the places east of the Liaohe River."

"The Datong border army must contain the Mengbaqi, can not let the Mengbaqi enter Guangning, Haizhou and Shenyang and other places to fight, the grassland tribes are doubtful, as long as the Datong border army unites the soldiers of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe to contain the Mengbaqi, they will not dare to enter Shenyang and other places, considering the terrain of the grassland, the time of the Datong border army to act earlier, our suggestion, Datong left 10,000 sergeants to guard is enough, and the rest of the sergeants will all enter the grassland."

In addition, it is necessary to emphasize that the overall deployment time of the campaign is one and a half years, and we must not shake our determination to conquer because of a certain battle defeat, no matter what, our goal is clear, that is, to completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars."

After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, he looked at Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu.

Su Tiancheng then spoke.

"The overall deployment of the operation, Lord Hong stressed, the deployment of this campaign can not be discussed, the Jiangning battalion, the Liaodong border army and the Datong border army, including the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, must all be carried out in accordance with the overall operational deployment, and the determination cannot be shaken, if someone shakes the morale of the army, no matter how high the status, the governor's office will not be spared, and the military law will definitely be enforced."

"In the course of the battle, Lord Lu and Lord Qin independently commanded the army to fight, and in principle, the Governor's Mansion would not intervene in specific battles, unless it involved a major change, an order would be issued, let us work together to completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars."
