Chapter 259: Ling Ming's Plan
"Brother Ling, please get up!"
In the hall of the Jingyi County Ya, Chu Fan, who had quietly listened to Ling Ming's story, sighed lightly, stood up and reached out to help Ling Ming, who had been kneeling—he was really not used to others kneeling to him, but Ling Ming insisted on kneeling, and he really couldn't stop him.
"Childe, have you forgiven me for concealing my identity?"
Ling Ming didn't rush to get up, looking up at Chu Fan, his eyes were full of surprise.
The reason why he insisted on kneeling and saying this was because in his opinion, first of all, his identity as a small banner of Jinyiwei would discourage most ordinary people, not to mention that he was still the number one traitor wanted by Jinyiwei - this kind of thing is something that ordinary people can't hide!
That is, Chu Fan, Ling Ming will tell his identity truthfully - after getting along during this time, he already knew that Chu Fan was a person who was so bold that he was meticulous and cautious, and he was quite protective of his brothers, to put it simply, Chu Fan was not an ordinary person!
Rao is like this, Ling Ming was also ready to be scolded by Chu Fan, but he didn't expect that after Chu Fan heard this, not only did he not scold himself, but he actually reached out to help!
And those clear eyes are full of emotion and admiration, right! Touched and admired!
"Brother Ling, although he is said to be a young man, he knows the word loyalty!" Chu Fan couldn't help but pull Ling Ming up, looked at his eyes and said, "Brother Ling, you are willing to take risks and seek benefits for my China in the midst of tigers and wolves. Not to mention Brother Ling, you have a deep hatred for their blood, and you don't hesitate to expose your identity to kill that traitor...... This loyalty and courage is not as good as sighing to oneself...... As for concealing and not reporting, it is a matter of life and wealth, but there is nothing to blame, why blame? ”
Ling Ming listened to him say this. The nose is a little sour, and the eye circles are a little red -- the world says that their brocade guards are the most awe-inspiring scourge that everyone respects and avoids, but who knows how much silent dedication they, the brocade guards lurking in North Korea, have made for the country and the people?
Especially Chu Fan's definition of Luo Yangde's "traitor", although it is the first time I have heard of it. But Ling Ming understood it as soon as he heard it, as if he had to drink ice and snow in June.
"Brother Ling, you have been incognito, but today you suddenly revealed your identity, I'm afraid it has something to do with how this Jingyi County should be handled, right?" Chu Fan looked at him stunned, thought for a while and asked.
"Hmm...... Returning to the child, exactly! Ling Ming was still sighing, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned when Chu Fan broke his motives—Gongzi really deserved to be a person who could play with Dengzhou officialdom. Before he could say it, he had already guessed it.
"What are you going to do?" Chu Fan asked with a deep groan.
Before coming, Chu Fan, Liu Zhongwen, and Chen Shangren had already made a plan and decided that Jingyi County would leave after the battle, and they would not consider long-term occupation.
The reason is simple - there is a shortage of manpower!
At present, in the base of Niudao, the total of the two groups of displaced people is less than 2,000, of which the so-called Chengding is only six or seven percent; These people are still a little stretched thin just for the construction of the Ushishima base - the tobacco farm will be doubled; The weapons group and the steel group are in urgent need of supplementary labor, especially the processing of iron; The shipyard is a labor-devouring monster. Not to mention that Chu Fan also plans to expand a dock that can build a large ship of thousands of materials; In addition, the fire * medicine workshop must also be built. There are also salt and sugar farms planned by Chu Fan......
In order to control a county seat, there must be no shortage of three classes of officials, no shortage of manpower in each room of the secretary's office, and no shortage of prison soap subordinates...... Even if you don't consider that they are foreigners, there are no two or three hundred people in this Jingyi county town and they can't maintain basic order at all!
Of course, the most important thing is force!
Chu Fan estimated. At the current scale of about 150 people at a single outpost, it is impossible to suppress a huge county town with just one outpost -- fifty or sixty soldiers must be used up for just four gates, not counting rotation!
If there are two whistles, you can bounce and suppress it, but in this way. Ushijima is completely empty - the whistle hasn't had time to expand yet!
In addition, Niudao is far from here, not far away, not close, just about 100 miles, if the wind is not smooth, a whole day of sailing, there is nothing to do at both ends of the inconvenience.
Therefore, after listening to everyone's opinions, Chu Fan set a strategy for Jeju Island: to advance slowly and gradually encroach.
That is, two nails were first installed on the northeast coast of Jeju Island opposite Udodo Island to form a horn with Udo Island, and then gradually advanced from these two bridgeheads to finally connect one; Wait until the manpower is more abundant and the Fuliao army is stronger, and then continue to advance westward.
Therefore, although Jingyi County was able to be taken, Chu Fan never thought about long-term occupation -- the lesson that the Japanese were reluctant to let go of a place in World War II and led to a deeper and deeper quagmire in the quagmire of war, Chu Fan was very clear.
"Childe, my subordinates think that it's a pity that this Jingyi County just gave up like this, it's better to ...... So so, so ......" Ling Ming snapped his fingers and said his plan, but when he heard it, Chu Fan's eyes widened and widened!
it! Is that okay too?
If you can really think of Ling Ming's plan and use the North Koreans to manage the North Koreans, not only will it not increase the burden on Niu Dao, but it will give you an extra boost!
"Childe doesn't know, this North Korean officialdom is no different from our Ming officialdom, and it is an old routine to deceive the upper and lower levels!" In the face of Chu Fan's questioning, Ling Ming responded with confidence, "As long as our subordinates can sell this plan, not only will we gain a firm foothold in Jingyi County, but we will also be able to buy a lot of time for the Niudao base...... Within three or five months, Jeju Muju couldn't react! ”
Chu Fan thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "It's a good plan, but Brother Ling's safety is a big problem...... We've killed too many people here, and I guess I'm afraid that half of the people in this city of righteousness want to tear us apart...... You said that you only brought those dozens of old brothers, I'm really worried that you won't be able to stand! ”
"Childe, please rest assured, if you talk about reversing black and white and demagoguery, who can compare to our brocade guards?" Ling Ming was both moved and worried, moved that Chu Fan's first consideration was his own safety; Worried, Chu Fan didn't take his advice, so he hurriedly reassured Chu Fan, "Besides, although Quan Zhitai and they are exiled prisoners, they are also officials!" …… And they are all old fritters who have been in officialdom for a long time, as long as they are given a bunch of people, are they afraid that they will not be able to manage it? ”
He repeatedly deduced the direction of this plan several times, and finally made Chu Fan make up his mind, but the latter still decided to leave a team for him, and at the same time moored a boat in the harbor south of Jingyi County at any time, it was really impossible, and it was convenient for them to evacuate.
The plan has been decided, and a big drama of catching and releasing Cao has slowly begun. (To be continued.) )
