On the way back to Tuanshan Fort from Cao Zhuangyi, Zhang Li was not carried away by the victory, but calmly began to review his gains and losses again.

Previously, he still underestimated Zu Dashou and overestimated the control of the imperial court.

I didn't expect Zu Dashou to really dare to do it!

However, he still calculated a little correctly, if Fu Zonglong, the governor of Jiliao, was in the Ningyuan Acropolis, it was indeed inconvenient for Zu Dashou to do it.

However, he had already calculated that he would wait for Fu Zonglong to leave and ambush himself on his way back to Tuanshan Fort.

If the cavalry ambush is used, on the one hand, the cavalry will crush the infantry, and on the other hand, I am afraid that it will want to blame the northern captives. After all, Ning Yuanwei did not have cavalry, only Guang Ningwei did, and he could withdraw Ning Yuan's army.

Zhang Li smiled bitterly, fantasizing about some kind of recuperation, but the script slapped himself in the face again.

Sure enough, what Taizu said "Throw away your illusions and prepare for struggle" is the most reasonable saying!

Liaodong's gang of soldiers, they want to cooperate with them to resist Japan, ah, no, anti-gold, it's like seeking skin with the tiger.

This time, I miscalculated, and it was not a big deal, but it strengthened my confidence in the struggle.

Ningyuan is really not a good place, the south of this is the territory of Wu Xiang, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, and the north is the Guangning front line guarded by Zu Dashou's heavy troops, and the Ningyuan Acropolis is still more than 10,000 troops of Zu Zepu to hold on, and it is very difficult for him to break through in any direction.

Maybe the field itself has some certainty, but if you attack Jiancheng, with the current strength of the Tuanshan Army, it will be an impossible task.

On the second day after returning to Tuanshan Fort, Gao Yuanliang, who made a detour to Duoyanwei, also returned with soldiers and horses, and Zhang Zhang immediately convened a military meeting.

In the meeting hall of Tuanshan Fort, the officers led by Gao Yuanliang all looked solemn.

Yes, Zhang Li was almost ambushed by the "Northern Captive" cavalry disguised by Zu Dashou. Death of Cao Zhuangyi, how can everyone have a light on their faces?

Zhang Zhang glanced at everyone and spoke first: "No matter from what point of view this time, our Tuanshan Army has won after all, and it has won very simply. The high-level guerrillas on the front line of Guangning won repeated battles, and the 1,000 infantry of Cao Zhuangyi's own officer were unscathed against 1,000 cavalry. Although the process is somewhat tortuous. But don't worry too much. ”

The tension set the tone, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Yuan's conscience palpitated, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, this division of troops was proposed by the last general, and it turned out to be a losing move, and the last general was willing to accept the punishment." ”

Zhang Zhang waved his hand and said loudly: "It was my decision at the beginning, and this official underestimated Zu Dashou, and I can't complain about you." I won't talk about it this time. Let's discuss the next steps. ”

As soon as everyone heard what Master Zhang said, they immediately changed their thinking and began to ponder the current situation.

Yi Ze is Ning Yuanwei's old man, he is very familiar with Ning Yuanwei's situation, so he was the first to speak: "My lord, the last general thinks that we need to seize Ning Yuan's right office as soon as possible." ”

The tension bowed slightly, and the children can be taught!

Ningyuan is on the right side of the sea. There is a wharf - an outlet to the sea, this young master must take it!

Pan Batian was a little unimpressed. He frowned and said, "My lord, that Ningyuan Zhongyou is just a small army acropolis, far less important than Ningyuan Acropolis." The last general thought that attacking the Ningyuan Acropolis was the first priority. ”

Zhang Li's face was expressionless, and he looked at the others.

The generals whispered, and everyone's last eyes looked at Pan Batian, and it seemed that Ningyuan Acropolis was more attractive.

Not surprising either. Few people realized the importance of sea power in these years, and when Yi Ze made that suggestion, most of them still saw Fang Yizhi importing a large number of goods from the Zheng family.

At a deeper level, Yi Ze should have a good idea of the defense of the Ningyuan Acropolis. He did not advocate that the Tuanshan Army now attack Ningyuan, which was guarded by Hongyi cannons, but that persimmons pick up soft pinch. First hit Ning Yuan, who was relatively weak in defense.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Zhang spoke: "Gao Yuanliang listens to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"You will lead 4,000 troops tomorrow and deploy along the line of the Shahe River. The army of Ningyuan Acropolis dared to cross the river, and the thunder in their hands and their own fire guns taught them to be human beings. ”

"Yes!"

"Wanji!"

"The last general!"

"You lead the teaching team and the artillery team, and take down the Ningyuan Central Right Institute!"

"The last general commands!"

"This operation may continue for a while, and all the military cantonments south of the Shahe River must be under the control of the Tuanshan Army. Hmm, the name of this military operation is Nanning Yuan Raiders! ”

"Yes! ――”

……

As soon as the order came down, the strategic intent of the tension was very clear.

The Ningyuan Guards were blocked north of the Shahe River and were not allowed to go south to rescue.

The artillery and teaching teams were responsible for the siege. With the city defense of those small and medium-sized guards, how can they be the opponent of the artillery team that has improved the black powder?

Pan Batian licked his lips, grinned, and secretly thought to himself: This Nima-

Isn't it exactly the routine that the Quang Ninh Army played before?

Master Zhang is really an indomitable master, and he immediately treats others in his own way!

Suddenly, Pan Batian remembered something else, and asked: "My lord, since the change of the mighty gunpowder, the range and lethality of our musket team's self-generated firearms have increased a lot, where is this mighty gunpowder sacred?" ”

Zhang Li used high-purity sulfur and saltpeter from Japanese volcanoes as raw materials, and the black powder produced was named "Weijin Gunpowder".

Zhang Zhang glanced at Pan Batian, who was open-mouthed, and said lightly: "This is the top secret of the Tuanshan Army, you can just use it, you don't need to know the secret." ”

Pan Batian was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, and said curtly: "The last general understands." ”

Zhang Zhang glanced at Xiao Ran and said, "The others go down and prepare, tomorrow we will start the Nanning Yuan Raid, and you will stay." ”

After the generals went down, they wondered a little, could it be that the adults had a new reconnaissance task to hand over to themselves?

Looking at Zhang Xiaoran with a puzzled look on his face, Zhang Li thought of something else in his heart.

Yes, the Dawn Moon Villa thing.

Now that he and Liaoxi Jiangmen have completely torn their faces, with their urine retribution, Xiaoyue Villa on the outskirts of Beijing is very dangerous.

Previously, because of Concubine Liu's relationship, no one dared to inquire there. But now that Concubine Liu has died, Xiaoyue Villa may not be so safe.

Fortunately, Xiaoyue Mountain Villa has tunnels that extend in all directions, but it is not to be careless.

At least a relatively strong security force must be stationed in Xiaoyue Villa, and if the situation is not good, it can also buy time for Ruochen and their evacuation.

Preparing for a rainy day is the best policy.

Wait until the situation is critical to put out the fire, and it will be too late.

In the Tuanshan Army, Ruochen and the others who protect Xiaoyue Villa, are the most suitable people to be the one in front of them......

Zhang Zhang said this meaning, and as soon as he heard that it was to protect the eldest lady, he didn't think about it, so he immediately responded.

But if they leave, what will happen to the scouts?

Zhang Zhang opened his mouth and asked, "Ran, if you go to carry out the mission of defending Xiaoyue Villa, the position of the scout captain will be vacant, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?" ”

After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said loudly: "My lord, the head of the scout team, Mr. Ye, is up to this task!" ”

Zhang Zhang was stunned: "Mr. Ye? ”

Xiao Ran nodded: "Ye General's name is Ye Sheng, and he was previously a night in the Ning Yuan Guard. Because he has been doing night non-harvesting for a long time and has a lot of experience, everyone gave him the nickname of Night Born, as if he was born specifically for the night. ”

"Nightborn?"

"Exactly." Ran was a little embarrassed, and whispered: "Your Excellency, you also know that my subordinates were only guards before, and they were not familiar with scout work, and they all relied on the guidance of the night scout team to obtain so much information!" ”

Zhang Li pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Since Ye Sheng is the first person in Ningyuan Acropolis to submit to his own officials, there should be no problem with his loyalty. Or, you tell him that he will be the head of the scout team in the future. When he has military exploits, the official will turn him into a regular officer. ”

Suddenly overjoyed, he hurriedly responded: "The last general will appreciate Lord Xie for the night life!" ”

The next day, the Tuanshan Army almost poured out of the nest and began to implement the "Nanning Yuan Strategy".

Xiao Ran also took 300 people and hurriedly returned to Beijing via Duoyanwei and Xuanfu to carry out a new task of protecting Xiaoyue Villa.

……

The army was all scattered, and the tension did not go out of battle, but sat in the regimental mountain fort.

At this moment, Zhang Li, under the escort of two guards, walked towards the Tuanshan Fort Medical Hall.

Zhang Li lowered his head, as if thinking about something important.

I had insomnia last night, and I didn't fall asleep until the fourth watch, and I thought about a lot of things during this time

The idea of controlling Ning Yuanwei in the south by himself is feasible, after all, it does not involve the core of the Jiangmen in western Liaoning-Ningyuan Acropolis.

In the past, it was only a unilateral claim to the Shahe River as the boundary, but now it is not a "claim", but a real control of the south of the Shahe River.

And the most important thing is naturally to get Ning Yuanwei's access to the sea, Ning Yuanzhong's right office, where there is a ready-made wharf.

The development of the navy is a distant thing, but the Zheng family of coastal defense guerrillas is a good helper. They are very strong, and they can be co-opted and co-opted.

At present, Fang Yizhi's contact object is Zheng Zhihu, but the head of the Zheng family is Zheng Zhilong, I'm afraid that Young Master Ben will have to take some time to visit him in person......

Just thinking about the sea, Zhang Zhang inadvertently looked up, but found that he had arrived at the gate of the Tuanshan Fort Medical Hall.

The "security guard" at the entrance of the medical hall knew Zhang Li, and immediately greeted him, and one person went in to inform Yan Langzhong, the director of the medical hall.

After making a quiet gesture, Zhang Li walked into the door of the hospital hall by himself.

I saw that there were not a lot of people in the outpatient compound, but just a normal flow of people -- the more people in the hospital, the better.

Seeing that everything was normal, Zhang Li's eyes finally stopped at the side door of the outpatient compound, where more than a dozen carriages were parked, and workers were carrying something to the carriages.

"Your Excellency, you're here! Please forgive my subordinates for not being far away! ”

As soon as Zhang Zhang turned around, he saw Yan Langzhong, who was a little out of breath, Yan Langzhong was sweating profusely, and obviously ran out immediately after hearing the news of his arrival. (To be continued......)
