198 Where is the base area?

As soon as they heard Hu Guang say something serious, everyone was awe-struck, and they all looked at him seriously.

"This time, the Ming Border Army actually appeared under Fugu City in such a cold weather, which I didn't expect." Hu Guang glanced at everyone's faces and said, "It can be seen that the imperial court has paid attention to our heavenly army. In the future, if we say something unpleasant, we will not be at peace! ”

As soon as I heard Gongzi talk about this crisis, some people didn't care, and immediately said below: "Childe, if they want to come, come here, Dingguo can just fire a few cannons!" ”

When he said this, several people laughed together, but Li Dingguo's head was held high, and he wanted to nod when he looked at Hu Guang.

But he didn't see Hu Guang have a trace of smile, but became more serious, and he didn't order it.

Hu Guang's voice raised a little, and he asked seriously: "Do you really think that the Ming army is so easy to fight?" ”

The laughter stopped abruptly, no one dared to talk back to Hu Guang, and the atmosphere became solemn.

Hu Guang softened his tone a little and said seriously: "It's a good thing that you are no longer afraid of the Ming army, but don't despise the Ming army!" Just today's Ming army, if there is no protection of the Fugu city wall, what are the chances of winning if you go out to fight with them in the field? ”

After the words fell, the lobby that was used as a conference room fell silent, no one spoke, only the faint cheers in the distance.

"Even if the Ming army does not rely on a large number of people, but only fights against the most elite company we call the Heavenly Army in equal numbers, I can tell you that our Heavenly Army will definitely not be able to defeat them!" When Hu Guang said this, he turned his head to look at Hu Kuan and said, "Big brother, you are from the army, are you coming here?" ”

Hu Kuan's face was also very serious at this time. stood up and turned around and glanced at the people present, and said in a heavy tone: "Second brother is right, the Ming army that came today is composed of the families of the generals from all walks of life in Yansui, and it can be regarded as the elite of the border army, with the strength of our heavenly army." Field battles are definitely not their opponents! ”

Everyone knows Hu Kuan's background, and they all admire his skills, and he endorses him, plus they also believe in Hu Guang, so no one dares to have any doubts about this conclusion.

After Hu Kuan sat down again, Hu Guang still said solemnly: "Maybe some of you will think, anyway, we have the protection of the Fugu city wall, so we will shrink inside and not go out, can the Ming army help me?" ”

Don't wait for someone to answer. He asked sharply: "If the weather warms up and the Ming army traps us outside the artillery range, will you still feel okay in the city?" ”

"In the battle to defend the city, the most taboo thing is that there are no reinforcements from outside. As long as the Ming army surrounds us, sooner or later it will be able to destroy us. If we are forced by the pressure of the imperial court, it is not impossible to capture us! ”

"The imperial court has enough troops, but it depends on the number of people. It can also pile up 2,000 of us to death. Just because there is no strong attack this time does not mean that there will not be a strong attack next time. As long as the imperial decree is issued. It is related to the future of those high-ranking officials and generals, will those people still care about the lives of their subordinates and not forcibly attack the city? ”

These people here know the virtues of those officials and gentlemen, and they know that they can't do anything for their own interests? The lives of the most heavily commanded soldiers. That's worth a few dollars, and it's strange that you will take care of it!

Thinking of this, some leaders couldn't even sit still, as if the Ming army could attack the city in minutes.

"Not to mention the generals of the Ming army, those high-ranking officials. Not everyone is a rice bucket, and there are many strategies to use, can you prevent every strategy? ”

When Hu Guang said this, Hong Chengchou's face immediately flashed in his mind. At this time, he knew that the fundamental reason why the Ming army retreated so quickly this time was because they despised the Heavenly Army. It's hard to say what kind of situation they will be when they come back next time.

The faces of everyone in the hall were heavy, the atmosphere seemed extremely oppressive, and the joy of the victory they had just won could no longer be seen in them.

Hu Guang saw that it was almost over, so he softened his tone a little and said: "As the leader, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace, consider all the disadvantages in everything, and take targeted measures in order to be invincible." ”

"Childe, you can do what you say we do, we will listen to you." Hu Hansan said at the bottom.

When the other leaders heard this, they also had to follow suit, and they were immediately stopped by Hu Guang: "This is the second point I want to remind everyone, don't rely on me too much!" I'm not a saint, I'm not an immortal, I can't know everything, I can't not make a mistake, you have to have your own ideas, and in the meeting to fill in the gaps, and improve the plan I proposed. ”

Hu Hansan's face turned red, and he lowered his head and did not speak.

"Second brother, you can talk about the countermeasures first, and we will add anything if there is anything!" Hu Kuan opened his mouth, so that Hu Guang nodded when he heard it, he wanted to speak like this, not like Hu Hansan.

Therefore, he said seriously: "First, we can't be proud, we still have to do what we should do in normal times, and we must not be complacent just because we won once!" ”

Hu Hansan nodded when he heard this, and looked up at Hu Guang again.

"Second, we must speed up the training of field combat capabilities, and we must speed up the manufacture and training of firearms.

Hearing Hu Guang say this, Blacksmith Liu lowered his head in shame. He knew in his heart that the firearm that Childe had high expectations was stuck on his side. So much so that Childe said very early that he wanted to focus on firearms, but now firearms have not yet appeared.

"Third, we must find a place that is better than Fugu County as a base area, where we can attack, retreat, farm, and produce, and non-combat troops can live and work in peace and contentment, and will not be poisoned by war!"

Although the people here did not understand the meaning of the base area at first, after hearing it, they also understood the meaning of the base area. But when I heard that Childe was so demanding, everyone looked at each other again. I have a question in my mind, is there such a place in this world?

"A strong army cannot be built overnight, so the most important topic of our meeting today is actually the third point, which is to find a better place to base it. You must know that Fugu is a place of execution for us to call the Heavenly Army, don't leave it to chance! ”

With Hu Guang's previous analysis, no one would feel that relying on the Fugu city wall would be able to do it once and for all. Under the pressure of a serious sense of crisis, everyone used their brains, searched their intestines, racked their brains to wonder if there was such a place?

Hu Guang was slightly relieved to see that everyone present was thinking about this problem. To be honest, this question has been pressing on my mind for months. I have the opportunity to bring it up today, so that everyone can share the burden and solve this problem together. (To be continued......)
