Chapter 205: Disgusting Jiannu's Strategy

Zhu Youxiao pieced together, and finally assembled an army of 200,000. In addition, Sun Chengzong also organized an army of 120,000 in Liaodong, and Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town's 30,000 official army, adding up, Zhu Youxiao's army that could be used to deal with wild boar skins reached 350,000.

It's just that it will be impossible for these 350,000 troops to be put into the Liaodong battlefield for a while and a half, and the conscription work has not yet been completed! You'll have to train for at least a year.

A year is still a conservative estimate, after all, at this time, Zhu You did not have so many grassroots officers in his hands. Therefore, it is necessary for the Royal Military Academy to train enough grassroots officers before it can be regarded as a relatively effective army. Otherwise, even if they have excellent equipment and good physical fitness of their soldiers, they can only be regarded as a rabble if they lack sufficient battlefield command.

Zhu Youxiao's large-scale military expansion obviously added another fire to the economy of Beizhili. After all, these armies formed by Zhu Youxiao were different from the previous Ming army.

Previously, the military equipment of the Ming army was relatively average, and the cost was relatively low. In addition, the treatment of soldiers is not so good, not only has a greater demand for military supplies, but also soldiers can get a monthly salary enough to support their families.

Orders for military supplies, as well as soldiers' salaries, can lead to employment.

In the past, China's concept was that war would cost people and money, but at this time, this was not entirely the case for the Ming Dynasty. Because of the increase in population, after all, too many people have nothing to do. If there are enough jobs, it will naturally be able to boost the economy.

The main difference is that at this time, the imperial court formed an army and spent money on everything. Not like it was before. It is stipulated that everyone must participate in the war activities. And the money is not yet given.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, the economy of Beizhili can be described as extremely prosperous. A large number of agricultural infrastructure activities, as well as infrastructure activities such as roads, as well as military expansion, have led to explosive economic growth.

Almost all the businessmen in Beizhili are happy, especially those joint venture businessmen who hug their thighs, because they have obtained a lot of market privileges because of their joint ventures with royal capital. In the second year of the Apocalypse, it quickly occupied the civilian commodity market in Beizhili.

However, the royal capital still has not fully digested the North Zhili, after all, the Royal Capital has just been established for two years, at this time, although it swallowed the North Zhili, but almost had indigestion, at this time it is still digesting, and there is no capital demand for outward expansion for the time being.

On this day, Zhu You proofread Yang Guorui and asked: "How long will it take for our royal capital to completely digest the Beizhili market?" ”

"It is expected that it will take two to three years for our Royal Capital to completely digest the Beizhili market. At present, the various industries of Beizhili are still in their infancy, the infrastructure has not yet been completed, and various minerals and other resources have not been thoroughly developed. If there is enough capital support, the North Zhili market can be roughly digested within three years. At that time, a large amount of manpower and material resources will be integrated and invested in external expansion. Yang Guorui replied to Zhu Youxiao.

"Three years!" Zhu Youxiao's heart is compared. It just so happens that it takes a year or two to train the army, and another year or two to fight with Jiannu, and the time is exactly the same.

For a while, Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry to eliminate Jiannu immediately, and when the royal capital digested the Beizhili market, Liaodong would undoubtedly be the best direction for expansion.

It just so happens that it will take at least a year to train the troops, which is more in line with the expansion of capital.

Zhu Youxiao, who had a clear purpose, carried out military construction activities in an orderly manner. Zhu Youxiao soon convened another meeting of the Supreme Command and put forward the strategic goal of 'destroying the captives in four years'.

Based on this goal, the General Staff worked out the operational rhythm of the Ming army in Liaodong.

"Next year, we will continue to implement the current strategy to involve the main force of Jiannu and avoid a large-scale decisive battle head-on. At the same time, it is a method of warfare that waits for opportunities to conduct small-scale operations, not with the goal of recovering lost territory, but with the main goal of killing and injuring the living forces of Jiannu. At the same time, the smuggling channels of Jiannu were completely blocked, so that Jiannu could not buy any materials from Daming. Even the year after that, we can continue to experiment with such strategies. Sun Chuanting reported this plan to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao nodded after listening to it, and agreed with this strategic plan. Sun Chuanting continued: "In the continuous consumption, we can have a steady stream of strength for subsequent replenishment, while Jiannu because of the disadvantage of the population, once the living force is continuously consumed by us, it will be difficult to replenish quickly. In addition, once the production of Jiannu is destroyed by us, as long as a year or two later, Jiannu will be on the verge of collapse. ”

"At that time, our cavalry is almost trained, and our Ming Dynasty will crush Jiannu with absolute strength, and if Jiannu fights with us head-on, we will easily defeat Jiannu. If Jiannu does not fight a decisive battle with us, we will easily recover all the cities in Liaodong and drive Jiannu out of the Liaohe region. ”

"Okay, let's go according to this plan." Zhu Youxiao directly agreed, as the emperor, he did not need to command the soldiers on the front line to use any tactics to fight, as long as the strategy was formulated. Choosing the right strategic direction is the basis for all victories.

Fighting against Jiannu is nothing more than playing to strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

As long as the population of Jiannu is not large, it can only rely on the weakness of robbery and development. As long as you don't forcibly send warmth at this time, you choose to carry out continuous consumption with Jiannu, and with Jiannu's manpower and material resources, you can't consume Daming at all.

If you consume it to a certain extent, you can solve Jiannu in one wave, and it will definitely disgust Jiannu to death.

In this process, Zhu Youxiao only needs to ensure the replenishment of troops and materials, and there will be no mistakes in strategy; with the current excellent equipment and strict training of the Ming army, even if the worst situation occurs, such as some tactical mistakes in the Ming army, it is impossible to be fatal. At most, there will be some losses in troops, and with the population advantage of the Ming Dynasty, it can be quickly replenished.

The main problem is that the current Ming army does not have too many cavalry, and it is easy for Jiannu to use the mobility advantage of cavalry to quickly break through the face when it goes deep behind enemy lines.

As long as the main force does not go to the field to fight desperately, Jiannu will never be able to destroy the main force of the Ming army, and it will not be able to achieve any great results. In a small-scale confrontation, even if the Ming army loses, as long as a few Ming troops can replace a Jiannu soldier, the Jiannu will not be consumed, not to mention that the equipment and training of the Ming army at this time are constantly keeping up. With the robber gang model of Jiannu, it is actually difficult to take advantage of small-scale confrontations.

In general, the strategy formulated by the Supreme Command has a relatively high fault tolerance rate and will not be taken away by the Jiannu wave. (To be continued......)
