Chapter 878: Methods of Secrecy
The 30,000 army led by Hong Chengchou wanted to achieve complete secrecy and rush to Xuanzhou quietly, and the difficulty was huge, after all, the Jiangning battalion entered Fuzhou and Xuanzhou and other places, and adopted a Huairou policy, which did not harm the interests of the people, but some of the spies of the Houjin were also able to temporarily stay in Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, and at the same time, the officials who came from Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou generally had a feeling, that is, the people here, although they did not oppose the sensory government, but they were generally afraid and did not dare to get too close to the government, and dare not show a clear attitude of support.
Qu Qingze informed Su Tiancheng of these situations as they were.
According to Qu Qingze's opinion, it is still necessary to increase the intensity of rectification, since we want to gain a foothold in Fuzhou and Xuanzhou and other places, it is necessary to screen the people here, maintain the purity of the people, and not allow the spies of the Houjin Tartars to mess around, if all the information of Fuzhou and Xuanzhou is leaked out, it is very unfavorable to the Jiangning camp.
The vast majority of the officers of the Jiangning battalion also supported Qu Qingze's opinion, including Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Li Dingguo, and others, all of whom supported this viewpoint, and they all realized it from battles and fighting.
Su Tiancheng admits that Qu Qingze's point of view is partly correct, people are like this sometimes, the more you care about him, the more you love him, the more you give him dignity, the more unscrupulous he is, and even does some unbelievable things, the more you are polite to him, the more he is in awe of you, the more obedient he is, and the more obedient he is to management.
But Su Tiancheng was unwilling to do so, judging from the long-term development plan. Such an approach is flawed, and will lead to a kind of tyrannical ideology, and only by adopting a high-pressure posture can the people be brought to their knees, and both the government and the people take this for granted, so everyone thinks it. It is correct to use violence to counter violence, but this will be a huge flaw and harm to the future development of society. Of course, for thousands of years of history, this kind of rule has been dominant, and it is not a smooth thing to change in a short period of time, but it is enough to change some of it.
As for the reluctance of the common people to cooperate with the government, this is even easier to understand. This is mainly the embodiment of Jiangningying's unstable foothold, the people here, for a long time accepted the rule of Houjin, produced a habit of fear and obedience, Su Tiancheng did not adopt that harsh means of governance, the common people are afraid that Jiangningying will leave in a short time, to return to Dengzhou. If they support the government, Kim will reoccupy this place in the future. Those who show their support will not lose their lives, and even their entire families will suffer?
The 30,000 army led by Hong Chengchou has always been near Changsheng Island, and did not directly enter Fuzhou, Hong Chengchou only brought a part of his own soldiers. Entered Fuzhou City, so the whereabouts of the army have not yet been exposed, but if you want to start from Fuzhou, pass through Xuancheng, Tieshan and other places, and rush to Xuanzhou. It is impossible not to reveal your whereabouts.
If you want to keep it secret, you still need to rely on the warship formation.
This is the method that Su Tiancheng has thought of a long time ago.
The 30,000 army must secretly rush to Xuanzhou, the secrecy work is the top priority, only by doing a good job of secrecy work, can we ensure the annihilation of the positive red flag of Daishan, if the Houjin and Huang Taiji Zhilu Jiangning battalion increased the troops, and the soldiers in Xuanzhou reached 50,000 people, their tactics will definitely change, and the Jiangning battalion will lose the best opportunity.
The reason why Su Tiancheng has such a judgment is that he concluded that Daishan and Jierharang would attack Xuanzhou from two directions, and that the Zhenghong Banner and the Blue Flag would not meet and would not attack together.
Before leaving Fuzhou, Hong Chengchou, Qu Qingze, He Renlong, Yan Yingyuan and others gathered in the wing.
Su Tiancheng will leave Fuzhou with Hong Chengchou, and after departure, the security of Fuzhou will be handed over to Qu Qingze.
There are still huge maps on the walls, but there are also maps on the table.
Su Tiancheng pointed to the map on the table, glanced at everyone, and spoke with a serious expression.
"The extermination of the Houjin sailors is the greatest benefit for our Jiangning battalion, Bohai Bay is completely controlled by our Jiangning battalion, what happened on the sea, the Houjin Tartars are completely ignorant of the way, this is the greatest guarantee that we can keep secret, but our time is very tight, according to the information that Qu Qingze has, Duoduo and Zierharang will set off from Shenyang today, Huang Taiji After a period of thinking, he must be fully prepared, this battle must be taken by our Jiangning battalion."
"Today, Hong Chengchou and I rushed to Changsheng Island, the warship formation set off immediately, all the soldiers must board the ship and make corresponding preparations, I hope that many soldiers can overcome the wind and waves at sea, the warship formation departed from Changsheng Island, bypassed Lushun, and went straight to Sumeru Island, Daishan set off from Pyongyang, only through the direction of Sumeru Island, attacking Xuanzhou, is the best offensive route, we must rush to Sumeru Island in advance, make corresponding arrangements, and start a decisive battle with Daishan."
After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, he looked at Qu Qingze.
Qu Qingze followed up and spoke.
"Jiangning battalion 50,000 soldiers set out from Dengzhou, annihilated the Houjin Water Division, the current deployment of the army, as well as the stationing situation, etc., it should be said that Houjin and Huang Taiji are clear, from the information we obtained, Huang Taiji mobilized Dai Shan, Duoduo, Zierharang and others to attack Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, the focus is on Xuanzhou, to make such a judgment, there are two reasons, the first is to attack Xuanzhou, it is Daishan and Jierharang, both are the princes of Houjin, led by the red flag and the blue flag, This is the absolute main force of Houjin, it can be seen from the battle in Liaodong, Liaodong 100,000 border troops attacked, Huang Taiji mobilized the army of the three banners of the yellow flag, the yellow flag and the blue flag, and dealt with the 100,000 border army, Dolgon led the sergeants of the white flag to deal with the 30,000 soldiers stationed in Dalinghe City, but this time, Huang Taiji mobilized the sergeants of the yellow flag and the blue flag, and attacked the 20,000 soldiers of my army stationed in Xuanzhou, and the strength of the Houjin Tartars reached more than 40,000 people, which was double the number of the soldiers of my Jiangning battalion. ”
"Let's take a look at the soldiers of my Jiangning battalion stationed in Fuzhou, there are a total of 30,000 people, and the one who can attack Fuzhou is the Houjin Tartar with a white flag led by Duoduo, and the auxiliary is the 40,000 Han army stationed in Haizhou, the combat effectiveness of the Han army and the Houjin Tartar is different, if Huang Taiji wants to break through from Fuzhou, it should be arranged to focus on attacking Fuzhou with the Eight Banners."
"The second reason, judging from the layout of the Houjin Tartars, starting from the overall pattern, the Houjin must stabilize North Korea, once we occupy Xuanzhou and develop from Xuanzhou to Yizhou, the Houjin Tartars will lose the ability to control North Korea, which they cannot tolerate."
After saying this, Qu Qingze looked at Su Tiancheng and looked at everyone.
"According to the judgment made by the intelligence, the purpose of the Houjin Tartars is to first exterminate my soldiers stationed in Xuanzhou, once the Houjin Tartars control Xuanzhou again, they will definitely concentrate the army and carry out a general attack on our soldiers stationed in Fuzhou, that is to say, the Houjin Tartars launched this attack, the focus is on Xuanzhou, Fuzhou direction, the Houjin Tartars must take a defensive position, from two directions, at the same time, such a practice is not in line with the requirements of the Houjin Tartars, and Huang Taiji will not arrange it like this."
After Qu Qingze's analysis ended, Su Tiancheng spoke again.
"With the support of intelligence, our expedition this time has a strong purpose, our purpose is also to hold Fuzhou, launch an attack in the direction of Xuanzhou, 50,000 troops to deal with the Houjin 40,000 army, this fight is not simple, our requirement is to let the red flag in the Eight Banners disappear completely, the best situation is that we can capture Dai Shan, Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze have both suggested that after the extermination of the Zhenghong Banner, turn to deal with the blue flag led by Jierharang, this suggestion, Let's not think about it for the time being, our goal is very clear, that is, to represent goodness and righteousness. ”
"Sun Chuanting led 20,000 soldiers to hold Xuanzhou, dragged Jierharang, made it difficult for Jierharang to move an inch, and could not go to reinforce Daishan, this is the completion of the scheduled task."
The task is assigned, and the time is very tight.
The army must arrive at Sumeru Island within three days by warship, make all the arrangements, and wait for the arrival of Daishan's army.
Su Tiancheng did not waste time, and together with Hong Chengchou and others, he left Fuzhou and rushed to Changsheng Island.
Along the way, no one spoke.
There are 30,000 troops stationed on Changsheng Island, which is also difficult to keep it completely secret, but fortunately, the Jiangning battalion completely wiped out the sailors of Houjin, and from the perspective of security, a certain area has been demarcated, as the port location of the warships, near this area, it is completely under martial law, and ordinary people cannot approach, so the warship formation is docked near Changsheng Island, and the people around are unaware. However, the port of Changsheng Island is not comparable with the port of Dengzhou and other places, because of the huge size, the warship can only dock far away from the coast, 30,000 soldiers want to get on the warship, need to take a small boat, and in the early preparations, a large number of artillery was transported to the warship, as the main force in the battle of Xuanzhou.
After arriving at Changsheng Island, Su Tiancheng quickly boarded the boat.
All the soldiers were prepared, these soldiers, they hadn't seen Su Tiancheng for a long time, they all stood on the deck, looking at Su Tiancheng and the others who were boarding the ship, although they didn't see it very clearly, but when they saw the commander of the Jiangning battalion, they had a sense of belonging in their hearts.
