"A concubine? Sister-in-law of the Tang family, we said early in the morning that we would marry a wife. Wearing a bloodstained waistband, Zhang Butcher waved his hand at Tang Dong.
Tang Dong's family was a little unreasonable, and he didn't get angry this time, but said with some embarrassment: "Brother Zhang, isn't this concubine the same, how should I live that day." β
"Phew, it's strange that the concubine can be the same as his wife, and your dog didn't marry one first. Your Tang family is not a big family, and my Zhang family can afford to eat, so why should you be a concubine for your dog. If you talk like this, let's not get along, my daughter is easy to find. β
Zhang Tuhu turned around and went back to the main house in a daze, and closed the door with a bang.
Tang Dong went up and knocked on the door, "Then return the dowry of my family!" β
Inside, Zhang Butcher said angrily: "You said at the time that you would marry a wife, and everyone in the village knew that my daughter was going to get married, and now you want to say that you want to be a concubine, what about the reputation of my daughter." You still have to return the dowry, and it doesn't matter if you go all over the world! If you want to marry, you can marry the main house, anyway, the dowry will never be returned! β
Tang Dong jumped to his feet and scolded: "Okay, you are a Zhang butcher, you dare to bully the people of the Tang family in Erdaogou as an outsider, if you dare not retreat, I will not let you be clean for a spring!" ββ¦β¦
"The following is the deployment of Chongzhen's eight-year Liaodong Spring Offensive"
The operational conference room of the Military Orders Department was full of officers from Dengzhou Town, and Liu Pojun, director of the Military Orders Department, waved a bamboo stick and explained loudly while pointing on the map. "First of all, it is still a summary of the enemy's situation."
Liu Pojun pointed to Zhenjiang Fort on the border between China and North Korea, "Zhu Guobin sent people to board the liaison ship along the ice the day before yesterday. Bring the military intelligence of Liaodong in winter. Jiannu was not idle in winter, after the Liaohai Sea froze. The four banners of Zhenghuang, Zhenghong, Blue, and White dispatched about 3,000 soldiers and horses to drive away the Dongjiang Army occupying Phoenix, Xiuyan, and Kuandian, but the Houjin Army did not occupy these places, and then withdrew the main force to Liaozhong. At present, the Dongjiang Army still occupies Zhenjiang Fort, Huanggudao Fort, Xiaojiadao Guan, Guifu Fort and other places along the coast. β
His bamboo whip was soon moved to the Liaozhong region, "The Houjin army we are facing is estimated to have dropped to about 20,000 in armor, and the remaining Ding with combat strength is also between 20,000 and 30,000, and more than 5,000 of these Zhenyi Ding have been replenished in the last two years. Mainly the Han people, the Jurchens and the Mongols who carried the banner, and there was a gap between their combat power and the Zhenyi they lost. The left and right flanks of Mongolia have risen in strength due to the absorption of the scattered tribes of the Chahar Division, and the number of soldiers should be between 3,000 and 4,000, but the fighting spirit and combat power cannot be compared with the Zhenyi. In addition, Jiannu expanded Wuzhen Chaoha in Shenyang in winter, the Han army has suffered many heavy blows from our town since it became an army, and the old battalion has been vulnerable to a battle, but this expanded Wuzhen Chaoha uses the operation method of our Dengzhou Town. β
There was a sound in the room. Many officers changed their sitting postures, and this was the first time they heard Jiannu use the Dengzhou Town Drill Method, and everyone unconsciously raised their spirits.
"According to the information we have obtained from Mongolia, the operation method used is based on the formation of our army's phalanx. Their flintlock pistols had been made on a trial basis, but they were still slowly made, with about 1,500 to 2,000 of them around the Spring Festival. The firing rate should be fifty or sixty percent, and the spear should also be about one foot and four feet. β
Zhong Laosi, who was present, raised his hand and asked, "They are deployed as an army alone." Or do you want to disperse the flags? β
Liu Pojun said: "On weekdays, it is still distributed in various Niulu, and the population is in charge of the population of the Eight Banners of Manzhou. Walk with the flag in wartime. It can also be formed into an army alone, roughly divided into eight Jiala, and each Jiala is led by a Meler Zhangjing, which is the former deputy general position. Gushan Ezhen, who served as Mel Zhangjing, was a Han Chinese, and Gushan Ezhen, who was in Wuzhen Chaoha, was rumored to be Sakhalian, plus the title of Ang Bang Zhangjing. β
Chen Xin, who was sitting below, touched his mouth, he was a little confused about the changes in the current political situation in Houjin, it was beyond recognition in history, the Han Eight Banners were taking shape, but they were not divided into eight solid mountains, but became the leader of Sakhalian, of course, the significance of this leader is relatively limited, because the population is in each banner, and Sakhalian, a solid mountain, is still not comparable with the main banner Baylor.
However, Chen Xin still did not think that the Houjin soldiers could train a modern army comparable to Dengzhou Town, and the combat strength of the army in Dengzhou Town was not a drill, but from a complete civil, commercial, and military system.
"The goal of this spring offensive is to force the mobilization of the Houjin army, deplete the effective strength of the Houjin army, consolidate the strategic superiority of our army in southern Liaoning and the eastern region, and further destroy the will of the Houjin army to fight. Our army will fight on the southern, eastern, and northern fronts at the same time, and the strategy of attrition will force the Houjin army to mobilize in large numbers, deplete its grain reserves, and affect their labor force for spring ploughing. On the southern front, it sought opportunities to conduct brigade-level battles, continued to weaken Jiannu's actual combat strength, and focused on attacking its Manchurian Eight Banners Zhenyi. β
After Liu Pojun finished speaking, the bamboo whip pointed to Gaizhou, "Let's talk about the specific goals of each line, the southern line will first attack Gaizhou, so that the nearby Baoyi cannot be cultivated, so that Gaizhou will lose the ability to supply itself, and destroy the military fort between Yulinpu and Yaozhou, so as to make Gaizhou an isolated stronghold, increase the logistics burden of Jiannu, and wait for Jiannu to come to help, and find an opportunity to fight." Gaizhou's current Houjin troops are inlaid with red flags and white flags, and there are also a part of the Tianyou Army and Wuzhen Chaoha, and our town plans to mobilize troops for the Liaoning Temporary Brigade, under the jurisdiction of the fourth battalion of two infantry thousand headquarters, two cavalry thousand headquarters, a dragoon thousand headquarters, the third battalion of the first thousand headquarters, the first division of the Jimo independent thousand headquarters, the independent combat engineering company, and the mobilization of 3,000 reserve troops in southern Liaoning, responsible for logistics baggage, the department is the main force of the spring offensive, responsible for breaking the attack on Gaizhou, the chief officer Zhu Guobin. The logistics base is Fuzhou, and the logistics supply is transported to Fuzhou by the sailor through the Niangniang Palace, and the military fort between the covers is transported in stages. β
Liu Pojun's bamboo whip immediately turned to the mountainous area in the central part of southern Liaoning, "In addition, please note that this year's southern line includes the line from Xiuyan to Lianshanguan. Lianshan Pass controls the mountain passage leading to Liaoyang and Shenyang from Xiuyan, which is the frontier barrier of Liaozhong, and since the Lushun War, Jiannu gave up Xiuyan and shrunk back to Lianshan Pass. This time, Dengzhou Town will cooperate with Shang Kexi and Mao Chenglu in Dongjiang Town. Once Lianshan Pass was captured, Jiannu had to deploy heavy troops to defend the periphery of Liaoyang and Shenyang. In order to prevent our army from attacking the rich areas of Liaozhong, which will bring a huge defensive burden to Jiannu. At the same time, it can contain the Jiannu forces so that they cannot assemble in the direction of Gaizhou. Create conditions for a moderate battle in the direction of Gaizhou. In view of the long supply line of Lianshanguan, after capturing this place, our troops were only stationed until the end of the spring offensive, and the raiders retreated to Jinzhou. Our town plans to deploy the Second Guards Battalion on this front, with two thousand headquarters under its jurisdiction, with an independent mountain infantry company and the second division of the Jimo Thousand Headquarters, and cooperate with Mao Chenglu and Shang Kexi of Dongjiang Town to attack Lianshan Pass, and the chief officer is Zhong Caisheng, the commander of the second battalion of the guards. β
The bamboo whip finally turned to Zhenjiang Fort on the border between China and North Korea, "The eastern line is the line from Zhenjiang to Phoenix, Caohebao, and Weiningying." This year, our army will send a small-scale unit to deploy four squads of the special service team to participate in the attack on Dongjiang Town, so as to familiarize themselves with the terrain and combat environment of the area, and map the important places; The northern line is the line from Kuandian to Hetuala, and it is planned to send a platoon of the mountain infantry company to cooperate with Shen Shikui's headquarters in Dongjiang Town to break the attack, which has been negotiated between the Department of Foreign Affairs and Shen Shikui. Our town provides it with some armaments and grain and grass, and the Huanglong Department of Dongjiang Town is also active here, and it has always been at odds with my Dengzhou Town, and its specific intentions are unknown. It is hoped that the Navy Division will send a division to respond to the northern front and deter the Huanglong Division. β
Chen Xin said to Qin Lufang, who was present: "The grain ship that supplies Huanglong should not be transported at one time, but put it on Phi Island first. He was only given ten days of food, and that would be enough to keep him at bay. Just be honest. Let's ignore him. β
Qin Lufang was now in charge of the sailors stationed in Qingniwa, and Dongjiang's grain and salary were received in the name of a trading company. The sailor was also involved, especially for the transportation of Phi Dao, and it was mainly the sailor who was responsible, and he immediately wrote down Chen Xin's order.
Chen Xin couldn't deal with Huanglong from the imperial court level, but the logistics of the Dongjiang River were in the hands of Dengzhou, although they would not be starved of food, but they would not be allowed to have enough surplus food. At the same time, Liu Minyou also plans to lower the price of ginseng and mink on Zhangzi Island this year, so that Huanglong will lose the capital of smuggling, and let his men and horses flee to other islands on their own.
Shen Shikui of Phi Dao has a relatively close relationship with Dengzhou, he is now the deputy chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, basically controlling Phi Dao, since the recovery of Zhenjiang last year, he is still in Tieshan Tuntian, plus the trade of Dengzhou Town, life is much better than Huanglong.
Shen Shikui, Shang Kexi, and Mao Chenglu are all deputy commanders-in-chief, Shen Shikui occupies the Phi Island, which made his fortune on the Dongjiang River, and earns a lot from North Korea's trade, but it is too far away from Dengzhou, and the relationship is mainly in trade and food; Mao Chenglu and Shang Kexi were very close to Jinzhou, and they fought more together with Dengzhou Town, and their relationship was closer, and Chen Xin's direct support for these two people was also the greatest.
The three of them all stared at the position of the general army of Dongjiang Town, Chen Xin gave up dealing with Huanglong, also out of the meaning of checking and balancing the three parties, and also to avoid offending two of them. Since Dengzhou Town occupied Lushun, Dongjiang Town was basically cut off by Dengzhou Town from the sea route to the imperial court, and later even the food and salary were in Dengzhou's hands. With Huang Long, a person who occupies the position of the chief soldier, the three deputy chief soldiers will not have a good impression of the imperial court, and they are all striving for Chen Xin's support, which is the most beneficial to Chen Xinkong Dongjiang Town.
Chen Xin sat in his position and made a gesture of listening carefully, Liu Minyou could not participate in such a purely military meeting, so he could not find someone to chat quietly. He had already reviewed this battle plan, and he was sitting here at this time, just continuing to strengthen the authority of the army, but in fact, his mind had already flown to other places.
Since the Battle of Lushun, after a year and a half of continuous attrition operations, the decline of the Houjin army has been revealed, this year's spring offensive is just a further blow to them, but it is not a decisive blow, for Chen Xin, the victory on the battlefield is only one aspect, TongguΓ² after the attack of the Jin army can strengthen the invincible image of Dengzhou Town's military prestige, gain the advantage of domestic politics, and improve the currency credit of Dengzhou Town.
Chen Xin's goal is to make Dengzhou's gold and silver coins widely used in Beizhili, Shanxi, Jiangnan, and Shandong, and the bulk settlement of commercial transactions in the North Canal is basically settled through GuΓ² Sihai Qianzhuang. In this way, a large number of small money banks in various places will go bankrupt, and the interest and balance of money in Sihai Money Bank will be greatly increased compared with Chongzhen's seven years, and it will be easier to control the prices in the north.
As long as this step is completed, Dengzhou will be able to control the financial market in the north, and after the credit is doubled, there will be a large inflow of money from all over the country, but it will not be concentrated in Denglai, but will be distributed along the canal through guΓ² trading companies and money banks. Dengzhou can speed up the issuance of salary bills, and can also issue additional non-physical currency for commercial settlement, so that the funds that can be directly called by Dengzhou Town can grow explosively.
In Chen Xin's estimate, the sources of funds will be concentrated in Henan, the northern part of Nanzhili, Jingshi, Huguang and other places, which are directly threatened by Jiannu and Liukou, such as Huguang and Henan. Certificates of deposit can be kept better than large quantities of silver, and can be hidden in a secret place, or taken with them immediately when you flee for your life in the future. For Dengzhou Town, the physical deposit of silver in Henan and Wuchang can be escorted by the army, and the safety is also guaranteed.
Coupled with the bank's interest system for large sums of silver, these rich people will taste the sweetness, and they will no longer take out the silver and put it at home. And once they rely on Qianzhuang, then at the moment when the imperial court and Dengzhou turn their faces, they will not completely stand on the side of the imperial court, thus losing their own interests. In this way, the cost of Chen Xin's rebellion was reduced, which is one of the important roles that Chen Xin believes the money bank played.
Therefore, the core of the spring offensive is to highlight the military superiority of Dengzhou Town, obtain political and economic benefits, and destroy how many enemies are not the most important. Of course, only a few people know about this, and it is impossible to tell all the officers here, and the soldiers do not need to know this, and their duty is to defeat the enemy.
ββ¦β¦ In addition to accomplishing the above-mentioned tactical objectives, this spring operation should also test, under appropriate conditions, the new operational regulations for flintlock units and dragoons, as well as the effectiveness of the detachment stragglers, as well as the strategic offensive and logistical support capabilities under the new brigade level......"
Liu Pojun's voice was sonorous and powerful, Chen Xin's thoughts returned to the venue, and all the officers attending the meeting were recording, and they couldn't even spare their hands to smoke.
Chen Xin's eyes turned to the map, a few arrows pointed in the direction of Liaozhong, Chen Xin looked at Shenyang and was distracted, that place was another important bargaining chip for him to win the world, but the most important thing was to expel the barbaric regime of Houjin, so as not to give them a chance to become strong. Judging from the current form, as long as the Houjin are contained in Liaodong and cannot come out to rob, then they can only die on their own.
Chen Xin looked at the west side of the Sancha River again, the location of Jinzhou was dyed yellow, indicating that it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, and the mentality of the Guan Ning Army Chen Xin was thoroughly analyzed, but the overall one would not change, that is, to bet on the one with the most hope of winning, so this spring offensive was also played to them.
The bamboo whip happened to move to Liaoxi at this time, Chen Xin looked at Liu Pojun, who was finishing his speech, "...... The Department of Foreign Affairs will go to western Liaoning after the beginning of the year, and strive to let the Guanning Army dispatch part of its cavalry to the front line of the Sancha River to contain the forces of the Houjin Army in Haizhou and Niuzhuang. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and although the Military Command Department analyzed that Jiannu could not mobilize all the troops to fight with our army, we still made various plans, and after the meeting, we distributed the corresponding departments to the battalions stationed in Denglai, and cooperated with the military affairs department's expansion plan in batches, and at the same time, we must also be ready to send reinforcements to southern Liaoning at any time. The above is our deployment for the spring offensive. β
