First, the two groups continued the topic of abandonment of the Golden State last time, and those who came later listened carefully to the two sides to explain their respective positions and judgments, and then Yang Bo asked them to express their opinions.

Half an hour later, the two sides couldn't say anything new, and the room slowly fell silent......

Yang Bo looked around and pointed at Zhang Shixiong with his finger, Zhang Shixiong got up and cleared his throat and said, "My lord, the villain thinks that Jinzhou cannot be defended!" ”

"Say the reason" Yang Bo went straight to the point.

"The slave chieftains are all old warlords, and the loss of the Golden State is nothing, but it is a serious blow to their prestige, if they are invisible, how can they continue to rule those coats? Whatever one may say, the revenge of the Tartars will come soon! ”

Zhang Shixiong said after saying his judgment in one breath: "At present, there is no war on the Western Front, the slave chieftain can free up his hands to concentrate on dealing with us, it is conceivable that the next decisive battle will be tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, you Li Dali want to defend Jinzhou?" No problem! But the slave chieftain will never collect troops if he doesn't trap you to death in Jinzhou, can you keep the first half of the year like the ancestor of Dalinghe? Do you eat people when you don't have food? Our Thunder Brigade is not an orc. ”

Li Dali stood up and retorted: "What I said is that Jinzhou reserves a year's military rations and guards, and if there is no food, it will not be guarded, can Jinzhou support it for half a year, and can the slave chieftains support it for half a year?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu said: "How do you know that the slave chief can't support half a year?" For the sake of a Dalinghe slave chieftain can be surrounded for half a year, why can't Jinzhou? ”

Hu Mazi said: "I have a thousand garrisons in Jinzhou, and the Tatar siege will require at least 5,000 people, and the Jinzhou garrison will have 3,000 people, and the Tatar siege will need at least 15,000 people, and the soldiers and horses in Lushun, Guanglu, Shang Kexi and other places will be dike at least, and the Tatars will need at least 10,000 more, and how much does it cost for 25,000 Tatars to eat horses and chew?" Liaoxi is rich, and the slave chieftains can persuade the banners to insist on besieging the Daling River, but the area of Jinzhou is overgrown with weeds and has no population wealth, so the slave chieftains can insist on besieging the barren land of Jinzhou for half a year from the strategic level. So I waited for the judgment that as long as Golden State persisted for three months, the Eight Banners would be in chaos. ”

Yang Bo smiled slightly and didn't speak, turned his head to look at He Jiu, He Jiu thought for a while and said, "When we entered Lushun, we also had 3,000 soldiers and horses, and how many days did we hold on under the onslaught of the Tartar slaves?" If it weren't for the little lady's timely rescue, we wouldn't be sitting here now. To defend Jinzhou, not only food, but also enough for half a year's lead, gunpowder, iron-shell ammunition and other logistical reserves, but also to transfer all artillery and flintlock guns to Jinzhou for use, the problem is that all of them are given to you, Lushun may also suffer a fierce blow from the Tatars, what should Lushun do? ”

Xiucai suddenly spoke: "My lord, Jinzhou is the most important part of the strategy of southern Liaoning, if you give up, how can we take the road behind?" If we give up not fighting with the slave chieftain as soon as it comes, sooner or later we will anger the slave chief and besiege Lushun with a large army, so what is the difference between garrisoning Jinzhou and garrisoning Lushun? Between me, only when the Tartar slaves were opened up in Jinzhou, did they dare not easily and frequently send troops to threaten southern Liaonan. ”

Yang Bo glanced at Xiucai deeply and encouraged: "Xiucai is right, only if the Tartar slaves are beaten hard and painfully, they will honestly confront us in Fuzhou, but the problem now is that our current strength is not enough to resist the invasion of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Tartars." ”

Liu Manzi muttered and said: "We didn't have a boat when we first entered Lushun, and now I have the Dengzhou Navy Division in my hands, as long as an order is given, Guanglu and Dengzhou soldiers can be put anywhere at any time, and we still have sentry horses to disturb around, and it is no longer the time when we dare not fight back like before." Besides, we have made so many contributions to the imperial court, will the imperial court sit idly by and watch us fall? ”

The loophole in Liu Manzi's words was quickly caught and ridiculed, but the two sides still couldn't convince each other, Yang Bo waved his hand, and the conference room was calm.

Yang Bo coughed and said slowly: "The defeat of Da Ling River is that the Ming army is trapped in a lonely city, and the Tatar slaves are surrounded but not fought, and they concentrate on dealing with the reinforcements, but the imperial court knows that the rescue is to send the head, or honestly send the Tatar slaves over, and I don't know what those fools think, for the tens of thousands of turtles in Guanning to fill in more elites of the Ming army in Beizhili and other places, and finally lose Da Linghe, even Zu Dashou hid back in Jinzhou and did not dare to punish it, rather than this, it is better to make up his mind at the beginning." Our emperor, he is very kind-hearted, to put it nicely, it is called benevolence, the benevolence of Song Xiang's formula, he will never do this kind of thing, otherwise how will he be evaluated in the history books in the future? So to put it mildly, our emperor's behavior is very stupid, very stupid! Don't laugh, be respectful to Your Majesty, well, let's wait and see when the imperial court will give Jinzhou and the head of the rescue Ming army to the Tartar slaves. ”

“…… Why did the imperial court have no way to deal with it, and it was clear that the military had an advantage in military strength and was defeated again and again, and it was defeated again and again? Because the Tartars were able to besiege the city, not by the strength of the population, but by the advantage of the field! If these rescued soldiers and horses, or the Guanning military horses are not afraid of fighting with the Tarnus, the Tartars will not dare to besiege the city so swaggeringly to send reinforcements, the first point I want to say is that our Thunder Brigade is not the gang of wastes, we can not only defend, but also attack! ”

Hearing that Yang Bo seemed to have the intention of guarding Jinzhou, those militants all sat up straight with joy on their faces.

Yang Bo continued: "When it comes to Jinzhou, let's consider it from the big picture, that is, at the strategic level, does the slave chief have the determination to go to Jinzhou? I can't see it, but our force has come out, and it has already defeated the Tartar slaves twice, and the Slave Chieftain Taiji will not sit back and watch us grow and develop, so revenge is inevitable. ”

“…… How to deal with it? There's nothing to say, only to fight! But how to fight, this has to be analyzed in combination with specific problems, which is considered from a small aspect, that is, a tactical aspect. We don't have a choice, all tactical arrangements have to be adjusted according to the movements of the Tarnus, so how will the Tarnons move? I'll try to analyze it. ”

Yang Bo picked up the teacup and took a sip of water and continued: "The first situation is the most bad, that is, the slave chiefs are the elite of the Eight Banners, regardless of the losses, come to retaliate, and besiege Jinzhou and Lushun in one go, this situation is a decisive battle in advance, we have no choice, we can only shrink Lushun and fight hard, at that time, there is no need to talk about any Liaonan strategy, survive first, but this situation may not be big, and everyone does not have to worry too much." ”

There was a sparse laughter at the venue, and Yang Bo said: "In the second case, our choice is very flexible, that is, the slave chiefs have not yet realized that we will be their nemesis and will be their gravediggers, so their way of revenge is nothing more than sending soldiers and horses, tens of thousands of people, they may think it is enough to sweep us, after all, we are only three thousand men and horses in one battalion on the surface, and tens of thousands of Jianzhou warriors are enough for us to drink a pot, this situation is the most likely, so how do we deal with it?" ”

"The third possibility is that the Tarnus ignore our actions, which is also unlikely, so what we need to discuss is the second point, the Tartars dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, are we defending or fighting?"

Yang Bo snapped his fingers and said: "These tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are also particular, is it 90,000 or 10,000?" If there are only 10,000 Tatar soldiers and horses, do you dare to fight? ”

Everyone shouted in unison, "Dare! ”

Yang Bo nodded: "What if it's 20,000?" ”

"Dare!" This time, though, it was much quieter.

"What about thirty thousand?" Yang Bo continued to ask

No one answered now, they knew their strength, and the most belligerent Li Dali, Hu Mazi and others did not dare to talk nonsense.

"Good!" Yang Bo nodded with satisfaction and said: "Then the problem will be solved, below 20,000, let's fight with the Tarnus!" ”

“…… In order to hold the throat of the Jinzhou Isthmus to Lushun, after taking Jinzhou, we will also make a large number of tuntians and resettle the displaced people, if the Tartars blockade the Jinzhou Isthmus, we can only sit in the city, so Jinzhou My opinion is inclined to protect the city, I plan to dig a trench in the north of Jinzhou City to hinder the sudden attack of the Tarnu cavalry, where it is inconvenient to dig trenches, such as hills, etc., then set up piers, and send sergeants to patrol, and at the same time set up piers along the coast to prevent the Tartars from taking advantage of the winter ice to smuggle into the flanks of Jinzhou, My plan for the current garrison of Jinzhou is to let Zhao Long and these cavalry be the main ones first, and then gradually add troops until the Tatar slaves can't move Jinzhou, and the most optimistic estimate is that as long as we survive this winter, the situation will stabilize. ”

“…… Therefore, the task of the R&D department is the heaviest, not only to rush to produce firearms, but also to put the production of heavy artillery on the agenda, as well as the formation of cavalry battalions, etc., all departments must serve the military and serve the battle, the recruited displaced people do not need to be cultivated in winter, let them all participate in the construction and defense of Jinzhou, the grain reserve department must try its best to collect every grain, to ensure that the army can have half a year's grain, can survive until next year's summer grain harvest. According to the report, tens of thousands of Liaodong refugees in Xiuyan and Zhenjiang are about to arrive, and there is no need to worry about manpower, but I ask you to train an elite soldier for me in two months, and if you can't complete the assessment, whether you are an old man or a newcomer, if you can't complete your position as a chief officer, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance. ”

“…… The south 30 miles of Jinzhou, the north 30 miles of the shop have to be rebuilt as the horns of Jinzhou, but also to prevent small groups of Tartar slaves from harassing, this kind of fortress garrison does not need too much, with a strong mobile sentry cavalry more than 100 people, another 200 infantry is enough, these two fortresses need to be completed within a month, the other seven enemy platforms in Jinzhou, three cities, ninety-five piers all to be built, so that the reserve peasant soldiers stationed on guard, as long as there are qualified soldiers, these piers can play an important role, the sentinels of the gendarmerie department are responsible for regular patrols, All the soldiers who caught the lazy and slippery whole pier were dismissed, the fields and salt ponds were confiscated, and the family members were driven out of Lushun and Shijiu. ”

“…… Those captive clothed auxiliaries gave me to use to die, and when I was tired, I cut off my head to repay the merits, and they were desperate to give their lives to the Tartar slaves, so we don't have to be polite. The same is true for the displaced people from Liaodong, all of them are driven away when they are full but refuse to work hard, at this time, they must not be soft-hearted, learn what to do Song Xianggong, and increase the laughing stock! Han Yan'er, your logistics department should take the lead. ”

“…… The training camp began to mobilize the masses, and all kinds of grievance meetings should be organized, so that those displaced people from Liaodong could come to the stage to tell their personal experiences, and you would be responsible for guiding them. Let Shi Jinhua and them come to Lushun to report, they must perform two plays every day, and I will give you specific instructions. Master Bi, some of the believers in your church should also be transferred over and arranged between the tuns, pay attention! The main purpose is to serve the military, don't mention any forgiveness, talk more about the situation in heaven after the death in battle, give them a faith, let them know that they are fighting for themselves. Zhao Long, you are specifically responsible for intercepting and killing the Tartar cavalry who came to Fuzhou to explore the outpost, I will give you 300 war horses, you can select elite men in each battalion, and I will give priority to the supply of equipment to you, so that they can learn in actual combat, and they are not allowed to let a Tartar sentry ride over, so that they can also taste the taste of blindness. ”

Regarding this strategy, Yang Bo talked about it for an afternoon, and everyone lowered their heads to record, Yang Bo spoke in detail, covering almost every department's responsibilities, and the core purpose was to serve the ensuing war, and everyone dared not be careless.

At this time, Yang Bo received the news of Dongjiang Phi Island, after Shen Shikui's department broke through the iron mountain, he suddenly appeared under Phoenix City on the 23rd, and joined forces with Wang Yanrui's department, and was violently attacking Phoenix City, there were more than 2,800 people in the city with a red flag inlaid with a red flag and a total of more than 2,800 auxiliary soldiers, the progress is not clear at present, and the two sides attacked and defended, and there were casualties among each other......
