Chapter 201: Where to Hit First
So Lin Yiyang stood up and bowed to Xiaotian and hugged his fists and said: "The lord has good intentions, and the ministers are happy and convinced, although we can shelter them for a while, how can we shade their children and grandchildren for generations?" Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, what the lord said is extremely true, they will not be buried if they are virtuous and capable, but those who are not virtuous and incompetent, such children and grandchildren don't care! ”
After listening to Lin Yiyang's words, everyone gradually felt relieved, they followed Yu Xiaotian, and they already knew that Yu Xiaotian's plan was huge, this big tomorrow is just one of them, this world is still big! As long as their children and grandchildren are willing to work hard, how can they not have the opportunity to get ahead? It is ridiculous to think about these things that are not yet visible, so everyone got up again and said that they would obey the king's orders!
Yu Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he said these words today because he was also motivated, he was afraid that these subordinates, following him, only thought about glorifying their ancestors, and one day replacing the current rulers and magnates of the current dynasty and becoming the next generation of social moths.
That's why he brought up this matter quite inappropriately at this time, which was to knock these guys in advance and let them not think too much.
Yu Xiaotian nodded and asked everyone to sit down again, turned around and waved his hand, and the guards immediately tore open the big curtain covering the wall, and a huge map of the Ming Dynasty immediately appeared on the wall.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and their thoughts suddenly returned to reality, and they focused all their attention on this Ming territory.
Yu Xiaotian stretched out his hand and picked up a baton in front of him, walked to the front of the map, pointed to the map and said: "Everyone, please look, this map is the map of the Ming Dynasty!"
At present, the place marked with the small red flag is the area where we have openly and secretly controlled zhì, not to mention Fujian, although it is still nominally under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but who has the final say here, you know better than me!
Liangguang! In this coastal area of Guangdong, we already have enough right to speak, although we have not yet erected the local government, but as long as we want to replace it, it is just a gesture!
In the coastal areas of Zhejiang, our forces have basically been entrenched, although they are not as strong as here, but the local forces have no choice but to take us, and we have actually taken control of Hangzhou Bay and the coastal islands, and we have taken Zhejiang, and we can't use too many of our troops.
In terms of Nanzhili, we have not yet spread out enough forces, but we have also penetrated into all aspects, as long as we need to, we can go up the river and go straight to Nanjing!
Shandong, on the other hand, is our most important base in the north, and now Denglai and other places have basically been accused by us, and the government has basically been regarded as a government decree not leaving the city,......"
Yu Xiaotian first briefly described the current situation of the actual control area and sphere of influence of the sea wolf, and let everyone here understand the specific distribution of forces, so as not to deviate when discussing the next situation, which includes the current situation of military reserves and equipment in various places, Yu Xiaotian clarified these situations It took more than half an hour to explain the entire situation clearly.
After everyone looked at the map and listened to Yu Xiaotian's introduction to the current distribution of their forces, they were all very excited, many of them only knew part of the situation before, and did not have the opportunity to understand the current distribution of the sea wolf's forces so clearly, and today after listening to Yu Xiaotian's introduction, they realized that over the years, Yu Jiajun has controlled such a large territory and ambushed such a huge strength in so many places under the secret deployment of Xiaotian.
Originally, they thought that this time Yu Xiaotian raised troops, he must have sent troops from Fujian, and first used troops against Zhejiang and Liangguang, but they didn't expect that in the north, most of Shandong has actually become the sphere of influence of the sea wolf, and it is not far from Beijing!
Therefore, after hearing this, everyone felt unusually excited, and carefully began to think about the shape in front of them.
"Now, on the surface, the Ming official army has indeed won a small victory and achieved some results in exterminating the exile army, but these exile army has restrained the strength of about 200,000 officers and soldiers!
If the exile army is not removed, the Ming official will not be able to draw enough strength to deal with us!
And I initially expect that in the second half of this year, after the winter, the northern Jiannu is likely to enter the pass again in a big way, and if it is not as I expected, this time the Jiannu will probably mobilize most of the troops to enter the customs, and the farthest is likely to hit Jinan, Shandong or even farther!
According to the preliminary estimate, the strength of the Jiannu Eight Banners Army, plus the strength of the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners, may reach about 100,000 to 150,000 people.
Coupled with the current combat capability of the officers and troops, as well as the morale of the officers and soldiers, the officers and troops could not stop the Jiannu army from going south, so once the Jiannu entered the customs, it would be quite vicious. ”
"And I am currently planning to take advantage of the entry of the Jiannu Tartars to raise troops this time, give Daming a fatal blow, and destroy Daming as quickly as possible, so this dispatch of troops is a decisive battle!
In order to achieve a decisive battle, so that the Ming Dynasty has no possibility of repeating, in order to achieve a fatal blow! Now I have brought you here, so that you can brainstorm and come up with a complete way to ensure that this goal is achieved! ”
After everyone heard this, there was a sudden boiling, and their faces showed excited looks, they had been holding back for so long, in fact, among them, there were already people who were impatient to wait, thinking that with their strength now, there was no need to deal with Da Ming again.
And at present, everyone has felt the strong hostility of the Ming court and the government towards the Seawolf Group and Yu Xiaotian, and in the past two years, they have made many small moves to try to contain their Seawolf Group.
Things have come to this point, and many of the sea wolf's subordinates privately believe that the time has come, and Yu Xiaotian can immediately lead them to rebel, and with their strength, it won't take long to take the world and kick the Ming Dynasty to the ground.
However, during this period of time, Yu Xiaotian still did not make a clear statement, and he was still suppressing the rash thinking of his subordinates, so that all the departments settled down and waited for his decision.
Now that he has finally put aside a distraction and decided to rebel, how can this not make them feel excited?
Although the Jiannu army has not yet broken through the pass and gone south, Yu Xiaotian said that in the winter of this year, the Jiannu army may move south, so there will be no problem in this matter.
If this is the case, then Yu Xiaotian's choice to raise troops at this time is undoubtedly a very good time, and the entry of northern slaves will definitely make the current imperial court panic, and it will definitely contain most of the officials and troops in the north, so that the officials and soldiers have no time to go south to deal with them.
So at this juncture, Yu Xiaotian's choice to raise troops to rebel is a perfect opportunity, so everyone immediately began to use their brains and put forward their proposals.
The opinions put forward by the crowd include going south first, capturing Guangdong and Guangxi, and then turning around and going north, first occupying the area south of the Yangtze River, and then moving north until the Beijing division is directly attacked.
Some people have also pointed out that there is no need to think about it in advance now, because there is the Third Fleet and part of the army Chen stationed in Hong Kong, and even if they do not go south to take Guangdong now, the officers and troops of Guangdong will not be able to pose any threat to the lair of the sea wolf in Fujian.
Therefore, since the army is raised, it is best not to delay, directly to the north to fight Zhejiang first, from Zhejiang to the south of Zhili, to defeat the city of Nanjing, as long as the Ming Dynasty's luck is cut off, then even if the northern Beijing division does not take, the Ming Dynasty will be cut off because of the lack of food and wages, and finally completely collapse and scatter.
After this opinion was put forward, it immediately got the support of many people, because if you do this, it is indeed more secure, under the first war, as long as the city of Nanjing is defeated, the Yujia army has the absolute initiative, to the north can continue to enter Shandong along the canal to the Beijing Division, to the west can go straight into Huguang, take down the granary of the Ming Dynasty, after all, at this time, there is a proverb "Huguang is familiar with the world's feet".
As long as Huguang is taken down, then the world can basically be determined, and Daming will no longer be able to turn over.
This mention yì made most people feel more reliable, so it quickly overwhelmed other voices, and some people even proposed a more radical mention yì, and even Zhejiang put it aside first, because Zhejiang is close to Fujian, which is equivalent to the meat of Yu Jiajun's army, when you want to take it, you can take it when you want.
Since they want to fight Nanjing, they simply take advantage of the convenient conditions of the sea wolf's sea advantages, directly use many sea ships, transport a large number of soldiers and horses, go straight to Songjiang Mansion, go upriver at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and directly kill Nanjing, without giving the Ming any chance to react, first lay down Yangzhou and Zhenjiang Mansion, and then directly take Nanjing City, so that you can directly cut off the canal and transport it, and put the Ming Dynasty to death.
As soon as this argument came out, it was immediately supported by the navy, and many people agreed that it should be faster to do so.
And Yu Xiaotian sat at the top, smoking a pipe, only listening and not speaking, silently counting in his heart.
Everyone scrambled to speak first, put forward some of their specific suggestions, and someone next to them was responsible for recording and sorting out the suggestions put forward by these people, and then submitted some specific things to Yu Xiaotian for Yu Xiaotian to review.
This meeting lasted for a whole day, seeing that it was getting late, Yu Xiaotian did not express his position immediately, but ordered the back kitchen of the house to prepare a meal, let everyone eat first, and continue to discuss at night.
