Chapter 1188: Let's Go to Jingshi
When Jay Chou learned the information about Houjin, he also muttered a little about it in his heart.
Why did Houjin disperse his forces and conduct military operations against Daming and Goryeo at the same time?
This is very unreasonable.
Because with the current military strength of the Houjin State, there is no way for them to carry out two-front operations at the same time, even if Goryeo's combat effectiveness is scum, but the military leaders of the Houjin will not be so brainless.
If this approach is followed, it should be to concentrate the military strength of Houjin and deal with the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, the Later Jin Kingdom not only marched against the Jingshi of Goryeo and the Ming Dynasty, but also marched against the Dengzhou of the Ming Dynasty.
Could it be that Hou Jin already has such a strong confidence in his military strength?
Apparently this is unlikely.
Well, there's a problem.
Jay Chou felt a little confused about what was shown in this information.
But what exactly the problem was, he hadn't figured it out for a while.
However, now his staff officer has said the same thing, which makes Jay Chou curious.
"Oh, tell me your speculation."
"Yes, General!" , The staff officer straightened his body, and after answering, he told Jay Chou some of the inferences of their staff officers about the information shown in this information.
"General, we judge that such a military action in Houjin is likely to intimidate and suppress the Ming army in Goryeo and Dengzhou, so that Goryeo cannot harass them, and Dengzhou will not be able to rescue the Jingshi and send troops to Liaodong."
Jay Chou's brows slowly relaxed, and he finally understood what he was confused about.
Right!
That's it!
In the future, the military strength of the Jin State will be overwhelming, and it will be impossible for them to carry out such a large military operation at the same time.
Unless their head is an idiot or a brain-dead.
But apparently the head of the Houjin State cannot be such a person.
Therefore, it is impossible for the army of the Later Jin State to make such a mistake and carry out two-front or even three-line operations.
Know the way. The intelligence shows that Liaodong has not yet been occupied by the Later Jin, and although the elite of the Liaodong Army has been lost, there are still a large number of town troops in Liaodong.
If these town army generals unite, then it is not impossible to cut off the retreat of the Houjin army that is in the Ming Jing Division.
So, for such a thing, Houjin had to be thoughtful.
At the same time, Goryeo, which belonged to the Ming Dynasty, was also likely to obey the orders of the Ming Dynasty. Troops were sent from Goryeo to carry out some clamping and harassment of Houjin.
After all, in the decades after the rise of the Jin Kingdom, the Goryeo Kingdom did not cause them any less trouble.
If it weren't for the fact that the Later Jin State was now using troops against the Mongols, and couldn't take care of the scum of Goryeo, which had only five combat strength, Goryeo would have been subjected to the iron fist of the Jurchens a long time ago.
However, in normal history, before Houjin entered the Central Plains, he did solve the trouble of Goryeo, so that Houjin was free of worries. That's why I fought against Daming wholeheartedly.
It's just that now, the Later Jin have not yet conquered Mongolia, so they have not yet experienced the removal of the Goryeo.
Although I don't have the energy to clean up the Koreans now, it's okay to scare them.
Houjin also didn't want the Koreans to jump out at this time. It's not to cause trouble for yourself.
In these decades, although the Koreans obeyed the arrangements of the Ming Dynasty, they sent troops to deal with Houjin several times.
However, due to the fact that the combat effectiveness is too scummy, the Goryeo people will basically be beaten by the Manchurians of Houjin every time they send troops. Retreat with heavy losses.
Therefore, the Korean people are very afraid of Houjin.
It is because of such a relationship. Huang Taiji formulated this plan and sent an army of old and weak troops to be stationed near Baiyu City on the border of Goryeo to scare and scare the Koreans.
Let the Koreans mistakenly think that it was Houjin's large-scale invasion to make them not take care of too many things.
And for the invasion here in Dengzhou, in fact, the same is true.
I have to say that Huang Taiji's wishful thinking is really loud.
The staff officers under Jay Chou, after some discussion, also came to such an inference.
When the staff officer told Jay Chou all their inferences, Jay Chou suddenly realized.
No wonder I think something is wrong.
It turns out that something is wrong here.
Hey!
Houjinguo's wishful thinking is good.
Of course, they also formulated such a plan because they knew the character of the Goryeo people and the minds of the high-level civil and military generals of the Ming Dynasty.
It can be seen that the people on the side of Houjin are really accurate in grasping people's hearts.
It's just a pity that the people of the Houjin Kingdom have calculated thousands of times and have not calculated that history has been changed. And at this time, there are people who should not have appeared.
"Your judgment should be accurate, so I want to know what we should do next? Although I already have an idea in my mind, I still want to hear what your staff members mean. ”
The role of the staff officers of the Song Empire was basically the same as that of the staff officers in the modern army.
So even if Jay Chou has some ideas, he still has to listen to the staff.
Besides, Jay Chou also understands the truth that one person counts short and two people count long.
"General, we mean landing directly from Dengzhou and organizing the army to go from Dengzhou to Jingshi. Intelligence shows that the Manchu army of the Later Jin State is only 50,000 or 60,000 on the periphery of the Beijing Division. However, there are 25,000 troops in the army under our command, as well as advanced artillery and muskets, so the gap is not very large. “
"Therefore, we believe that as long as the army arrives in Jingshi, then there is more than ninety percent chance of resolving this crisis. Therefore, we suggest that the Shogun should adopt this method. “
Jay Chou nodded, in fact, this staff officer's proposal was the same as what he thought.
"How can we solve the problem on the side of the Daming officials in Dengzhou?"
Jay Chou thought of a headache.
"Those civil and military generals in Dengzhou, thinking about it, must have been frightened by the Houjin army that appeared now, and they must be hiding in the city and can't get out. So we don't have to care about them, as long as the army starts to advance rapidly in the direction of the Beijing Division after landing. “
The staff officer gave an easy solution to this problem.
Jay Chou thought about it after hearing this, and felt that the staff officer's proposal was really good.
"Well, since that's the case, I order the fleet to sail quickly to the coastline, and we will land from Dengzhou!"
"Yes. Checkmate! “
The staff officer saluted, then turned to leave.
In this era, the iron riding of the post-gold is synonymous with invincibility.
Mongolia, Daming, Goryeo, and all of them are very afraid of it.
But Lao Tzu is not afraid, this time Lao Tzu will try your color to see if it is really that powerful.
Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, he has excellent artillery and muskets, and he can't deal with the Houjin Manren with cold weapons?
The Great Chinese chauvinism in Jay Chou's heart is flooding again.
As a Great Chinese chauvinist, not only Jay Chou alone, basically the Chinese people of the Song Empire have some hatred for several races in their hearts.
One of them. It is the Houjin Manren who claims to be a descendant of the Jurchens.
Because it was they who brought the regression of civilization and science and technology to the East, so that the originally splendid culture of the East appeared a big fault, and even brought ignorance and darkness.
As a result, the East was oppressed by Europe, and the people's minds were imprisoned, and even in modern times, they have not fully recovered.
Now with such an opportunity, how could Jay Chou not feel excited.
Over time, Jay Chou's orders were passed on to other warships.
Forthwith. The fleet began to sail at full speed towards the shores of Dengzhou.
When all the personnel of the fleet learned that they were about to go to the capital division of the Ming Dynasty, and that they were likely to fight against the Manchu army, the soldiers' reaction was not fear and panic. It's excitement and excitement.
This reaction is completely different from that of Goryeo and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
"General! Now the fighting spirit of our soldiers is very high, and when everyone heard that we were going to fight against the Manchurians of Houjin this time, everyone burned with a high desire to fight. “
With the fleet sailing at full speed. It didn't take long for Jay Chou to see the coastline not far away.
At this time, his adjutant walked up behind him and reported to him the movements of the soldiers now.
Jay Chou nodded: "Okay!" Good! Good! ”。 He said three good words in a row. "It's a good thing for us that everyone is fighting so highly." ——
Dividing Line –
"My lord, an army in a very strange costume has appeared outside the city!"
At the head of Dengzhou Mansion, a garrison soldier shouted loudly when he found Jay Chou and their army, his expression was very nervous and panicked.
After all, it is an indisputable fact that the barbaric Manchu army of the Later Jin State has appeared near Dengzhou.
Thinking of those barbaric and terrifying Houjin troops, it was normal for this Dengzhou defender to react with some nervousness and panic.
"What! Where is it! ”
After hearing the soldier's loud shout, the Ming soldiers at the head of the city panicked.
A military attache wearing armor also walked over briskly under the protection and support of a group of personal soldiers.
"My lord, it's over there!"
The soldier raised his hand and pointed ahead.
Looking in the direction of the soldier's finger, they saw rows of soldiers dressed in strange costumes and carrying muskets appear in their sight.
At the same time, in the rear of the detachment, there was an artillery that could be pulled by a mule.
Oh my!
How can artillery move like this?
And, where did these people come from?
Could it be that they are the elite of Houjin?
"My lord, what shall we do now?" , the cronies beside the military general asked in a trembling voice. After all, the army that appeared not far from the city looked well-equipped and unusual.
"Shut the gates! Immediately tell the prefect and the garrison general, and ask them to send reinforcements here at the East Gate! ”
Jay Chou's army frightened the defenders of Dengzhou Mansion.
However, the defenders of Dengzhou Mansion could not imagine that the army that appeared did not attack Dengzhou City at all, but quickly passed under Dengzhou City, and then left...... (To be continued......)
