“…… 1,600 people in the 6th battalion of Gangwon-do; 1,100 people from the 4th battalion of Chungcheongnam-do; Gyeonggi Province has the most, with a total of 3,300 people in 12 battalions, but 10 of them are all in the inner three halls...... The real combat power is the 3 battalions and 2 cavalry battalions in Cijiang Province, as well as the 4 battalions and 1 cavalry battalion in Liangjiang Province, all of which have fought with the Tartars...... In addition to Quan Zhinan's own 6 battalions in South Hamgyong Province, a total of 8,500 infantry soldiers and 800 cavalry soldiers of the main army, and the remaining auxiliary soldiers Ding Zhuang were about 5,000, and the entire army of conquest and suppression totaled 10,000. ”

The flower hall in the inner courtyard of the mansion has now been converted into a conference room, and Ling Ming is standing in front of the hanging map of North Korea, detailing the information he has, "According to the records of the weapons distribution of Bing Cao, except for Gyeonggi Province, the formations adopted by other infantry battalions should be modeled after the mandarin duck formations of our Qi Shaobao...... Each of the above-mentioned battalions should have 154 chariots, about 300 Franc guns and bowls, and 500 birds...... However, this is only a record of the soldiers, and the loss and sale of each battalion have not yet been known...... The 800 cavalry were mainly equipped with three-eyed guns and spears and sabers, and there were 1,200 war horses, that is, some of the cavalry were one man and two horses. ”

Those who participated in this military meeting, in addition to Chu Fan, Liu Zhongwen and Song Xiance, were the battalion commanders of the three infantry battalions and Zhao Hai of the reconnaissance brigade, as well as the commanders of the three fleets, and finally Xu Zhiyuan - this military meeting is very important, today is just a meeting, Chu Fan plans to wait for the heads of the six major families to arrive, and then gather all the relevant personnel, that is the official military meeting.

The conference room was quiet, not even the sound of coughing could be heard, and many people were holding a notebook in their hands, and they were using a quill pen dipped in ink to record - this was all learned from Chu Fan, and a good memory is better than a bad pen.

“…… Requisition orders have been issued, requiring the above battalions to gather in Seoul. The latest assembly time is the twenty-eighth day of the first month of next year...... However, with the virtue of the North Korean army, it is not easy to overcome the deadline, and it is good to be able to move in mid-February...... The North Korean Navy Division made a bloody investment this time, not only did all five battalions from Jemulpo go, but also transferred two battalions from Busan...... There were 11 turtle boats, 26 warships, and 118 other ships...... If it is used to transport people, it can be transported in two times. Ling Ming pointed to the map and continued.

"Guangyun people will definitely not succeed. What should I do if the grain is heavy? Ge Bi shook his head and muttered, he didn't take notes, but he listened very carefully, and he didn't even pay attention to the cigarette when it was almost burned, and he didn't jump until his hand burned it.

"Indeed, as Commander Ge said, Izumi Tomio's plan is to advance by land and water...... The first batch of 3,000 men, including 800 cavalry, and some of the grain and baggage, were shipped from Jemulpo on the 18th of the first month to Jeju City...... The rest of the camp escorted the remaining grain straw by land via Suwon, Daejeon, Jeonju, and Gwangju to Mokpo, and then transported from Mokpo to Jeju...... His plan was to land all of them by March 20 and launch an all-out attack on us by the beginning of April. Ling Ming said this. Grabbed the cup next to him and took a big sip.

"Mokpo?" Yang Dijiao, commander of the Second Fleet, put down his pen and looked up for a while, "There are many small islands and reefs nearby, and our ships dare not go deeper. ”

Chu Fan looked at the expressions of everyone in the room with the corner of his eye while remembering-in fact, he was not very worried about the number of Koreans, after all, the Fuliao army was now a modern army, and it had a generational advantage against the army of the feudal era; What he was worried about was that his subordinates were cowardly before they fought!

After glancing around, Chu Fan made up his mind. Since Liu Zhongwen and below, all the battalion commanders and fleet commanders have looked very comfortable - after all, the Fuliao Army has been since its creation. He has never lost a battle, and he has a brilliant record of more than 100 people in Ningyuan defeating thousands of chaotic soldiers. These generals were naturally full of confidence; Now that the weapons and equipment have been upgraded again, it has given them a little more confidence, and they can use the Lu Mi gun to fight the Guanning army all over the place, and they have changed to the faster and farther Ushijima 1 type to deal with the weaker North Korean soldiers, isn't it even more hand-to-hand?

But there was still a look in the room that caught Chu Fan's attention, and that was Xu Zhiyuan, the big boss of the bandits in Shandong and the fanatical restorer of the Tamluo Kingdom.

He's still so neatly dressed. But his pale face, trembling lips, and trembling sleeves all exposed the fear in his heart.

Seeing him like this, Chu Fan couldn't help frowning slightly.

In his Jeju strategy and even North Korea's strategy, Liuguan and Xu Zhiyuan of Jingyi County are two important chess pieces!

Both will become the "Imperial Cooperative Army", but they will be used for different purposes: Chu Fan is ready to help Xu Zhiyuan restore the country, and gradually control the real power of the Tamna Kingdom in the process. And the court of Tamna under Xu Zhiyuan will become the best helper for the Fuliao army to rule Jeju Island; And the DPRK officials and the army they have formed will become the vanguard of the chaos in North Korea! The reason is simple, Tamna has been restored, and the Koreans have no reason to stay on Jeju Island anymore, and their ideal is precisely to occupy Ganghwa Island and rescue Gwanghae-kun!

In this way, Xu Zhiyuan and Jingyi officials have formed a relationship that is both competitive and cooperative, and the weight to balance the two sides is Jeju Island, which is firmly in the hands of Chu Fan - of course, Chu Fan only has a general framework, and the reason why it can be designed so exquisitely and interlocking, Song Xiance naturally contributed a lot.

However, all this must be on the basis of the Fuliao army completely killing the conquest and suppression army - only by completely, completely and cleanly annihilating these tens of thousands of conquest and suppression armies, can the Fuliao army completely deter the two forces!

However, looking at Xu Zhiyuan's current appearance, he was obviously frightened by the huge scale of the conquest army, Chu Fan was not only a little worried, would this guy be so frightened that he retracted back into Halla Mountain?

Xu Zhiyuan was indeed frightened!

The information Ling Ming brought reminded him of the battle eighty-two years ago, a war that his grandfather and his father had repeated so many times that his ears were calloused.

Like Izumi Tomoo's plan, the Joseon royal court recruited more than 10,000 regular soldiers at that time, and the same vanguard set out from Seoul, and the follow-up troops embarked from Mokpo; The Vanguard, with only 2,000 men, arrived at the mouth of the Dou Kincheon River west of Jeju Fortress and landed at the mouth of the Jeju River, and together with the North Korean army that had been driven out of Jeju Fortress, they approached Jeju Fortress five miles away.

Xu Zhiyuan remembered that his grandfather repeatedly emphasized to him that at that time, there were more than 7,000 soldiers under the Gao and Xu families in Jeju City, and they had an absolute advantage in numbers, and half of them were cavalry; But out of the city for a field battle, the army was defeated without even touching the large array of the Koreans!

A river of blood! Corpses are everywhere!

This is a sentence that his grandfather repeats repeatedly, which makes Xu Zhiyuan creepy every time.

Today, the Koreans are also the same troops, and the Fuliao army does not even have 2,000 people!

Can this battle still be fought? (To be continued.) )
