"I said not to occupy it, but I didn't say not to fight it!!"

The guanzi that Deng Shifeng sold just now once again aroused the interest and ** of many people, and everyone who participated in the meeting stared at Deng Shifeng with their eyes, wanting to understand what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd. After satisfying everyone's appetite, Deng Shifeng smiled, and pointed to the west of the mountain village, that is, the area of Rongxian County, with the baton in his hand, and said:

"As I said just now, our action this time is to eat a piece and grab a piece! This eats ...... It is to eat the plain area adjacent to our mountain village in Rong County, from Danyang (now Danzhou Town, Sanjiang) to the important place north of Liucheng, we have to eat all of them, including Liucheng County sandwiched in the middle! This area is not only rich in grain production but also rich in minerals, not to mention other minerals, now the iron plant has been lacking enough fuel after the expansion of production, the coal purchased from the outside is too far around and the transportation volume is too small, although the reserves of Daliang and Shatang are small and the sulfur content is more, but it is better than no rice in the pot; And the chemical industry also needs to use coal mines to refine all kinds of oil, everyone look at the diesel lamps hanging on our walls, without oil, I believe you don't want to go back to the dark at night......"

Hearing this old grandson's eyes suddenly lit up like a light bulb, after so long of development, especially the old grandson in charge of the development of the industrial mouth naturally knows that industrial raw materials are important for industrial development, although water transportation can transport a lot of materials from outside, but after all, it is necessary to have a time of transportation, and it is also subject to the output of raw materials and the limitation of the transport fleet, except for a small number of minerals that can be controlled by the mountain village, the old grandson has always felt a feeling of hungry production...... If he had known from the beginning that there were coal mines in those two places...... He must have been the first to jump out and shout about the expansion attack!

"The area adjacent to our new village has always been operated as a buffer zone for us, although I dare not say that it is popular with the people, but the mass base is good, and it is not difficult to expand with this as a bridgehead. And we are not greedy, Yuanbao Mountain in the west of Rong County, Huaiyuan (now Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County) in the north of Danyang, these places we will not touch this time, those places belong to the mountainous terrain complex area, or the old way, gradually use our economic advantages to establish a buffer zone. ”

"And from a military point of view, there is no military center in this area like Gutiansuo, and taking these areas will not waste too much time and take up too many troops. According to the information we have obtained from Huang Zhangshi, without dividing the troops, one company of regular army and two companies of militia and civilian guards are basically enough to sweep this area...... Including the two county towns of Liucheng and Rongxian!! ”

"Defensively, considering that the north and west are mountainous areas and are large Miao Dong population areas, it is completely our natural geographical barrier and the best buffer zone. The only thing to be careful about is the military forces of Huaiyuan and Qiangui along the capital Liujiang. Therefore, in the north, military checkpoints were set up in Danyang and Chang'an Town (now Rong'an County) to garrison a regular company and a company of civil guards to ensure the safety of the enemy in the north. ”

"Compared with the easier defense of Rongxian County, the defense of Liucheng County is more complicated, bordering Qingyuan Mansion (now Hechi City) to the west, and there is a Luocheng city in the north of Liucheng County that can be our buffer zone (now Luocheng Gelao Autonomous County, which was subordinate to Liuzhou Prefecture at that time), but the south can be driven directly from the Longjiang River and the gentle areas on both sides of the river, plus it is adjacent to Liuzhou City to the south...... It can be said that Liucheng County is a very good cake, but if we are not careful, this place, like Liuzhou City, will be a place where we are tired of defense and firefighting! ”

"Shi Feng, don't go around, I'm itching to fish...... What do you want to do, you just say it, how to take Liucheng County and how to defend it, what does this have to do with attacking Liuzhou City?! ”

The old grandson, whose surname is more anxious and speaks straightforwardly, has been tickled by Deng Shifeng's refusal to uncover the mystery, in fact, not only him, but also Zhao Laosi and Qin Er's son Qin Tian can't help it.

"Hehe, I explained so much just now to put out all kinds of interests and disadvantages for everyone to understand, and also let everyone know that the defense of Liucheng County plus the defense of Danyang, Gutian, and Zhongdu is enough to make our current existing troops lack skills, and if you want to eat Liuzhou City, you should bear with it again...... But as I said earlier, just because I don't occupy it doesn't mean I won't fight it! With our troops, it is no problem to concentrate a regiment in a short period of time to directly conquer Liuzhou City! Deng Shifeng smiled and first explained why he wanted to explain the antecedents, and then the words changed:

"I don't occupy Liuzhou City, but I can conquer it and loot it!! The granary of the government in Liuzhou City is now full of grain harvested this year, and it is conservatively estimated that it is about 50,000 stone (about 5,000 tons)!! (Note: The annual tax of Liuzhou Mansion during the Wanli period is 56,000 stones, but Guangxi can only collect only about half of it every year...... You know)

The numbers reported by Deng Shifeng made people's hearts beat faster and faster, and their eyes were secreting adrenaline...... Everyone understands what it means to grab so much grain, and everyone is not stupid, Deng Shifeng only said that the treasury grain collected by the government this year, and how much old grain will there be over the years? ! Not to mention, in addition to the government, many large households and businessmen are also hoarding grain in Liuzhou to transport it eastward, and get this grain into their hands...... Hehe, what a beautiful scene that would be......

"Hey, we only rob the grain of the government, we still need to buy the grain in the hands of those merchants from them at the normal price, and I will take Liuzhou City in the future, when the bandits will make our own reputation stink...... Whoever dares to do this, I will dare to accept him!! ”

The crisp sound of fingers tapping on the table accompanied by Deng Shifeng's warning woke up these dreamers, and hearing Deng Shifeng's reminder made everyone laugh a little embarrassed, but Deng Shifeng's next sentence made the atmosphere that had just been a little eager on the scene suddenly cold:

"Kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys!! In addition to obtaining the food and commercial resources we need, attacking Liuzhou City is a warning to many people from a political point of view and military shock! Especially in the Qingyuan Mansion in the west, it is in this form to tell them: Lao Tzu, I can even beat Liuzhou City, and you Qingyuan Mansion and those local officials who know each other pretend not to know anything, and they don't know each other...... Lao Tzu, I'll let it become the next Liuzhou City! ”

Deng Shifeng's murderous words made everyone feel emotional, that's right, instead of guarding against this and that every day and being afraid of others attacking him, it is better to be strong and make potential enemies afraid every day that they will fight him; In particular, soldiers like Luo Dan and Huang Shicheng were even more excited, and it was especially exciting to follow the teacher, and they remembered the story of the Warring States period told by the teacher in the evening class, it is said that Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, was the only country without a city wall defense at that time, and if a large army attacked it, the capital of the Qin Dynasty would be in no danger of being destroyed in the war; Just listen to the first half of the story, you will feel that the capital of the Qin Dynasty is very easy to attack, and the King of Qin is very stupid not to build the city wall, but if you listen to the whole story, you will know that the Qin kings of the past dynasties dared to do this, in addition to the natural dangers of several border passes, there is also the actual national conditions that the soldiers can be defended by hiding troops in the people, and then there is the most important thing, that is, after the Qin Dynasty gradually became stronger in the Warring States, it did not give the other six countries a chance to invade it, and all the special drops burned the flames of war to the land of the Six Kingdoms to bully people!

This is a kind of domineering against the enemy and the outside, Deng Shifeng has always disliked things like the Great Wall that are purely defensive, and offense is always the best defense!

At this point in the meeting, the main tone has been set, external expansion, annexation of the land of the two counties in the west, attack Liuzhou City, and withdraw from Liuzhou City after collecting all official materials, not only can obtain a large amount of food and other materials from Liuzhou City, but also use force to shock the surrounding government and show the armed strength of the mountain villages, so that the other side does not dare to make a mistake. The content of the next meeting is how to arrange the preparations for the expansion of all parties, and there is no way, because the current army does not have a department with such an overall plan as the General Staff Headquarters and the Logistics Headquarters, and every time there is a battle, these bigwigs must be together to discuss and make arrangements on a series of cumbersome and complicated issues such as the transfer of personnel from the civil affairs departments, the production arrangements for the industrial outlets, and a series of cumbersome and complicated issues such as the number of military combat personnel, the changes in the methods, and the demand and total amount of logistics supplies formulated by the route.

However, during the break of the meeting, although some people were worried that doing so might cause the wrath of Yanjing City, what people didn't expect was that Deng Shifeng picked his nostrils and replied with a disdainful face:

"Pull the machine down, two years ago, I didn't even dare to fight a Taiping village in Rong County, for fear that the tail of the Liuzhou government official who stepped on this foot would be too painful and jump up to play with us, but now we have grown to the point that a state capital can't eat us! And at this time and that time, it is not us who has more headaches in Yanjing City now, the northern thief Li Zicheng swept several provinces, and the battle of Songjin has reached the moment of deciding the surname, whether it is victory or defeat, there is no two or three years to slow down to deal with us......"

Deng Shifeng's disdain also hid a paragraph behind it, that is, the Ming Dynasty had lost its last confidence after losing the Battle of Songjin, and it would not take a few years for this dilapidated ship to be crushed by the last straw...... And it is precisely because of this that Deng Shifeng, who has not much time, must speed up the speed of expansion, and the two-year preparation is indeed a little hasty, but to see that his opponent is also very hasty and rotten, it depends on how much destruction power his little butterfly power can cause.
