Chapter 815: Dengzhou's Arrangement

(Thank you for not choosing the middle route to vote for your valuable monthly ticket, thanks for the reward, thank you.) )

Through Lu Shanji's letter, Su Tiancheng clearly grasped that the time for Liaodong to launch an attack was in May, at this time, the spring ploughing production was completely over, and there were still more than two months before the autumn harvest, which was indeed the best time to launch an attack, and at this time, it was the time when the green and yellow were not received, the preparation of grain and grass was very important, Chen Xinjia had a certain advantage in this regard, and he relied on the Ming Dynasty behind him, and Huang Taiji did not have an advantage. Su Tiancheng knew that the merchants of Houjin bought a large amount of grain, and the price was still very high, which showed that the grain and grass in Houjin were not sufficient.

From this situation, Chen Xinjia is full of confidence, Huang Taiji is afraid that he is unwilling to fight a war of attrition, hoping to be able to fight a quick battle, and the time of the battle will not drag on too long, Chen Xinjia and Huang Taiji have the same idea, Chen Xinjia is eager to make meritorious service and show his ability.

Although Su Tiancheng believes that there is a great danger in this battle, if Chen Xinjia strictly follows the emperor's requirements and makes a comprehensive deployment, the problem will not be very big, the 100,000 border army, with the strong support of the Guanningjin defense line behind it, can advance or retreat after encountering any difficulties, even if it is a temporary defeat, return to Dalinghe City, you can also get a respite, but if Chen Xinjia is impatient and rash, there are too many uncertain factors, the most uncertain factor is that Huang Taiji dares to make up his mind and boldly intersperse, arrange a part of the troops, lie in front of Dalinghe City, prevent the sergeants of Dalinghe City from rushing to help, and block the road for the border army to retreat. If you are not afraid to make heavy sacrifices, you are not afraid to be flanked by the border army and the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion, and you are desperately persistent, and great danger is very likely to come.

Su Tiancheng believed that Huang Taiji would probably make such an arrangement, because if he had to deploy this battle himself. Such a deployment will also be made, and this measure was also taken when the Jiangning battalion fought against the Liukou in Fengyang, the central capital.

If Huang Taiji wants to do this, he will have to mobilize a large number of troops, and the number of troops will be small, and such a combat deployment will not be possible, so from this premise. It is completely feasible for Su Tiancheng to lead the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion to launch an attack on Lushun, annihilate the naval division of Houjin, and then occupy the areas of Fuzhou, Yongning, and Xuanzhou.

It is impossible for Su Tiancheng to control the battle in Liaodong, but he can completely deploy the battle that is about to start in Lushun. It's completely in control.

This is the perfect opportunity for all the attention of Huang Tai Chi. I'm afraid they are all concentrated in Liaodong, because it is very close to Shenyang, and if there is a slight mistake, it will threaten the capital of Houjin, and also because Liaodong is close to the capital, the imperial court is also very careful. Therefore, everyone's attention will be gathered in Liaodong at the beginning of the fight.

Such an excellent opportunity, Su Tiancheng will definitely not miss it. Otherwise, I'm sorry for my hard work.

After the extermination of the Liukou, the biggest opponent of the Ming Dynasty is the Houjin, because of the containment of the Houjin, Su Tiancheng can not expand overseas, can not open up new sources of wealth, can not plunder, to say that in this era, not to hegemony is fake, when you have no ability, you must not be able to dominate, once you have strong strength, expansion is inevitable.

Historical reference, Su Tiancheng has not paid much attention to it, he changed history, many years ago, probably six years after Chongzhen, it is basically difficult to refer to the history before he changed it, but there is one point, Su Tiancheng still firmly remembers, which involves his operational deployment and overall arrangement. In August of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, in August of the eighth year of Chongde, Huang Taiji died suddenly in the harem of Shengjing, it is rumored to have died of cerebral hemorrhage, it is already March, and there are still five months to go.

Su Tiancheng is not sure about this, because history has changed, as if according to the current situation, by the time of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youzhen would never go to the coal mountain to hang himself, and such a situation would never happen.

But no matter how things develop, he has to seize the opportunity.

Attacking Lushun and occupying Fuzhou, Yongning, and Xuanzhou will form a fatal blow to Houjin and Huang Taiji, making Huang Taiji in a dilemma.

In his heart, Su Tiancheng was very hesitant, if Huang Taiji died of a violent illness, Houjin's strength would suffer a heavy blow, which was very beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and it was also a situation that Su Tiancheng was willing to see, but Su Tiancheng did not have many opponents, especially an opponent like Huang Taiji, I am afraid it would be difficult to meet Lu again, and the opponent would meet Liangcai, which was a very lucky thing, Su Tiancheng wanted to face off with Huang Taiji, and he wanted to defeat Huang Taiji with his own hands and let this hero surrender in front of him.

The layout of Penglai City is top secret, can not be leaked, attack Lushun, and then occupy Fuzhou and other places, only rely on the Jiangning Battalion Naval Division, it is absolutely not possible, this time, warships and patrol ships will lead a large number of Jiangning Battalion soldiers, cross the strait, annihilate the Houjin Naval Division, occupy many places, take root in those places, step by step squeeze the living space of Houjin.

In fact, as long as Fuzhou and other places are occupied, Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, there is no need to station so many troops, and this place has become the rear, Fuzhou, Yongning, Xuancheng, Tieshan and Xuanzhou and other places are the real front.

Take the city, rely on force, but hold the city, build the city, you must not rely entirely on force, that kind of occupation is not solid, especially in the process of the two armies fighting, Lushun and Fuzhou and other places, have been occupied by Houjin for many years, the people there, what is the idea, Su Tiancheng does not know too much, but he is confident, with his own ability, let the people in these places support the Ming Dynasty, these places were originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

When Qu Qingze rushed back to Dengzhou, Su Tiancheng had already begun to move.

The Governor's Office issued an edict on the adjustment and training of defense, and most of the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Qingzhou, Dengzhou, and Laizhou wanted to gradually concentrate in the direction of Dengzhou, of which 10,000 were left in Qingzhou City, 5,000 people were left in Laizhou City, and a total of 15,000 people were left in Yantai, Weihaiwei, and Dengzhou City, and the rest of the soldiers were all concentrated in the military camp outside Dengzhou City.

The imperial decree demanded that within a month, 53,000 soldiers should be concentrated in the military camp in Dengzhou and the military camp of the naval division, and at the same time, the Yantai base began to manufacture artillery shells on a large scale, as for the shipyard, the manufacture of large warships and patrol ships was suspended, Su Tiancheng after recovering Zheng Zhilong's sailors, through continuous adjustment, had a large number of warships, the shipyard's current task is to manufacture large merchant ships, one after another orders, so that the shipyard craftsmen have no time to rest, and the profits of large merchant ships, It also made Su Tiancheng feel happy and surprised.

After the edict was issued, it did not cause any fluctuations, and the large-scale transfer of the Jiangning battalion often happened, besides, all this was arranged by the Governor's Office, in the name of training, and it may also be that the Governor's Mansion decided to carry out a large-scale military camp competition, and the time for the transfer was also relatively long, and it was not at all like preparing for battle.

When Qu Qingze returned to Dengzhou, it was already the end of March.

The next day, he arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

Su Tiancheng was waiting in the wing.

"My lord, the lower official saw Lord Hong, and Lord Hong accepted the order."

"Well, did you emphasize that at this very moment, Hong Chengchou should not obey Qian Qianyi's orders, he must make his own decisions, Qian Qianyi does not know how to deploy military, and there may be a situation of chaotic command."

"Xia Guan said it, Xia Guan also reminded Lord Hong on the side that there are some contradictions between Qian Qianyi and the adult, and it is very likely that at the critical moment, the overall situation is not considered, and it may vent personal anger, or even the battle situation."

"Very good, in fact, the deployment of Liaodong has exposed this problem, Chen Xinjia does not use the Jiangning battalion soldiers, just thinking that he can rely on the border army and make immortal achievements, so that he can also be proud, Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi are together all the time, in this process, Qian Qianyi will naturally reject the Jiangning battalion, and the most important thing is that Chen Xinjia has never been able to actually master the Jiangning battalion, and when he fights, he will naturally not use an unfamiliar and uneasy army."

"My lord, Xia Guan went to Liaodong this time, and he also grasped a situation, that is, Tang Haitai, the governor of the Yamen, is very beautiful, this Tang Haitai, Xia Guan is very impressed."

Su Tiancheng narrowed his eyes.

"I said that the situation in Liaodong is a little strange, it turns out that I underestimated this Tang Haitai, think about it, Tang Haitai is the nephew of Tang Shiji, the second assistant of the cabinet, after arriving in Liaodong, Chen Xinjia will not be underestimated, in this process, Tang Haitai must have become the liaison between Chen Xinjia and Tang Shiji, which makes Tang Haitai's position very important, it seems that many changes have taken place in Liaodong, this Tang Haitai has played a lot of roles."

"My lord, the lower officials have made special arrangements, and someone is closely watching Tang Haitai's every move."

"Zhilu Dao, don't pay attention to this Tang Haitai for the time being, jumping off the beam clown, it won't play much role, if Chen Xinjia really trusts this Tang Haitai, I'm afraid you will suffer, your main energy is to assist Sun Chuanting, do a good job in the recruitment and deployment of Jiangning battalion soldiers, and at the same time keep it strictly confidential, some specific things, it depends on you to do it, during this time, I focus on thinking about the campaign deployment, and I won't care about these specific things."
