Chapter 893: Surprise
Faced with the incredulity on the faces of the two people, Wei Zheng replied in his calmest tone as much as possible: "There is nothing impossible......"
"You two only see the temporary harm of this interest bundle of the imperial court to our Tiger and Leopard Army, but you don't see the long-term interests of this interest bundle to us...... Don't you think that the imperial court did this, just giving us the opportunity to completely take Jiangnan once and for all? ”
"Compared with the Central Plains, land annexation in Jiangnan is more severe...... It's just that Jiangnan has always been in good weather, even if you are a tenant, you won't go hungry, and there is no such large-scale displacement ...... in the Central Plains."
"According to the land policy of our Tiger and Leopard Army, after taking Jiangnan, we will definitely buy the hearts of the people by dividing the land equally. Before this incident, the king had been thinking about how much silver the Haw Par Army would have to pay to redeem the land concentrated in the hands of the landlords and gentry......"
"But, now it seems, this is more than silver may not need us to ......"
"The imperial court tied all the landlords and gentry in Jiangnan to their chariots through the binding of interests. Through the financial resources of these landlords and gentry, they trained regiments and assisted the new army of the imperial court to resist our attack...... Doesn't this just give us a reason to solve the new army of the imperial court and solve these landlords and gentry together......"
"As for those group exercises that may threaten us, in the eyes of this king, we don't have to worry about it at all......"
"As for the specific reason, as soon as my next question comes out, you will understand......"
"Looking at the whole of Jiangnan, there are many ordinary people who do not have land, or they own a lot of land. The landlords and gentry who were tied to the chariot of the imperial court were more ......"
"More importantly. Those landlords and gentry were all local celebrities. As long as they are on the side of the imperial court, we can deal with them together with the new imperial army when we attack Jiangnan......"
"As for the remaining small-scale regimental training, we can get rid of the local troops behind the main force and the guerrillas who are already intensifying in the south of the Yangtze River......"
Seeing that the two subordinates finally showed a thoughtful expression on their faces.
Wei Zheng stopped directly, giving the two subordinates enough time to digest.
It wasn't until the faces of the two subordinates slowly showed a look of sudden realization that Wei Zheng took out a secret report and handed it to the two. Then, he asked with a serious face.
"This is a secret report from the Nanjing Imperial Court from the internal guards. Regarding the deployment of troops against us by the imperial court...... You all take a look and see if there are any loopholes in the deployment of the imperial court's troops, and whether we can come up with an offensive plan that surprises the imperial court in response to these loopholes, completely disrupt the imperial court's deployment, and grasp the initiative of the entire attack......"
After reading the information handed over by Wei Zheng, Sun Chengzong's brows immediately furrowed. Facing Wei Zheng, he analyzed with a solemn face.
"Lord Wang, judging from the intelligence, there are still capable people in the imperial court...... In knowing Henan. Hubei, Anhui and other provinces could not stop the pace of our Tiger and Leopard Army's offensive. Directly abandon these provinces and rely on the danger of the Yangtze River to block us. ”
"These provinces north of the Yangtze River, we can easily occupy them...... It's just that it will be very difficult to cross the Yangtze River......"
"After all, the imperial court has deployed a new army of 120,000 people and thousands of powerful red-coated cannons on this natural risk."
"More importantly, after occupying these provinces north of the Yangtze River, we must stop and clear all the regimental training in these provinces before we can concentrate all our forces and launch an attack on the Yangtze River. Otherwise, our logistical supply lines in these provinces, and even the rear of the main attacking force, will be threatened by these regimental training, and we will not be able to attack Jiangnan with all our might......"
Sun Chengzong deserves to be Sun Chengzong, and he can see at a glance the specific purpose of the imperial court's deployment.
Just when Wei Zheng cast a look of appreciation at him, Wang Feng on the side also followed after reading the content of the intelligence.
Then, as if he had been wronged, he shouted very dissatisfied.
"Lord Wang, the imperial court also underestimated my first army of the Tiger and Leopard Army...... In the whole operation, our first army was not counted......"
"In the battle of the post-Jin, the losses of our First Army were not small...... However, the combat effectiveness has not weakened. ”
"Since the imperial court does not look at my First Army, I think that we should use the imperial court's contempt for my First Army to deal them a fatal blow. Let the imperial court know that even if our first army suffers heavy losses, it will be invincible in front of them......"
This style of play has always been advocated by Wei Zheng.
Because, surprise on the battlefield can not only severely hit the morale of the opponent, but also disrupt the enemy's deployment, grasp the initiative on the battlefield little by little, and exchange the minimum cost for the greatest victory.
Therefore, when Wang Feng said the words surprise, it could be said that it coincided with the thoughts in his heart.
So, as soon as Wang Feng's words full of dissatisfaction and complaints were finished, Wei Zheng subconsciously asked.
"Tell me your specific thoughts, how do you plan to command the First Army to surprise the imperial court and disrupt their deployment......"
Maybe Wang Feng already had an idea in his heart, and as soon as Wei Zheng's question was spoken, Wang Feng said.
"It's very simple, take the sea route through the sailor transport, and launch an attack directly from Shanghai, where the imperial court has not much defense. Cooperate with the main attacking force, attack inside and outside, and destroy the Yangtze River defense line that the imperial court has quietly deployed. ”
"The main forces of the imperial court are all on the Yangtze River, and only 60,000 recruits have been deployed in the south of the Yangtze River. It may be possible to use 60,000 new troops to guard against guerrillas operating in Jiangnan. However, if they want to stop the offensive of our First Army, they will not be able to do it even if they have another 60,000 new troops......"
"Besides, more than 15,000 of our tens of thousands of guerrillas operating in Jiangnan have completed their initial training and have combat effectiveness. As long as our First Army launches an attack from the sea and brings enough equipment and ammunition, these more than 10,000 elite guerrillas will be able to participate in the battle immediately......"
"In this way, we can threaten the Yangtze River defense line from the south of the Yangtze River from the south of the Yangtze River will exceed 40,000 troops......"
"The three armies of nearly 100,000 tigers and leopards attacked from the front...... 40,000 elite Hawpanthers attacked from behind......"
"No matter how powerful the Yangtze River defense line of the imperial court is, it can't stop our front and rear attacks......"
Hearing this, Wei Zheng smiled...... Because, compared with himself, Wang Feng's thoughts can be called compatible......
At the same time, Sun Chengzong's solemn face also showed a smile.
Because, according to what Wang Feng said, all the worries he had just now would not exist. If you don't go in and love, the whole battle of the Haw Par Army marching into Jiangnan will be much faster than you imagined. (To be continued......)
