The strategy and operational guidelines for the expedition to Annan were set, and everyone also believed that if Wang Xuan really came like this, Annan would definitely not have any more rebellions, either everyone would die, or those who had a countervolt would die.

In particular, Wang Xuan is now asking the entire Thang Long Mansion not to leave any living mouths, which is especially equivalent to saying that in the entire Annan, half of the upper echelons will be wiped out.

At this time, Nan'an was the early stage of the 'Zheng Ruan Dispute', at this time the Li Emperor was just a puppet, and the power in the court was completely ruled by the Zheng family, known as the "Zheng Lord", and the Li Emperor was only responsible for listening to the government and receiving envoys.

Its place of government is Thang Long Mansion, which was later also called Hanoi, at least the name Thang Long Wang Xuan doesn't like it very much, Thang Long? Why don't you call Lushan Shenglong Ba Na!

The southern part of Annam was controlled by the Nguyen family, and the main political center was in Hue, with Quang Nam Pass as the dividing line between the two sides.

If Shenglong can be broken in one fell swoop, then the entire Annan and North will no longer have a formed resistance force.

Wang Xuan has never understood why Da Ming didn't kill all the upper forces of Annan after successfully occupying Annan, and had to keep it, did he want to learn from Da Tang and get the grassland big man back to dance?

What kind of mentality is this, is it nice for a big fool to dance!?

Do you need to show the majesty of a great country in this way?

It's better to kill all the people who know how to read and write, and go straight back to the primitive era...... It's a fart.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang also knew how to stuff strips of cloth into the belly of the fish......

The attack on Annam is a general direction, and there are still many problems to be solved in detail, such as the mobilization of troops, grain and grass, large ships for transportation, specific battle plans, forward bases, and so on, and a series of problems waiting to be solved.

War is never a child's play, and it is unacceptable to fight a war with a bang.

In terms of troops, Wang Xuan only has 50,000 people in his hands, excluding the garrisons at the checkpoints leading to the provinces, some people will be left behind in each prefecture, and Xiaoliuqiu will also need people, and what he can use is nothing more than 30,000 people.

Fortunately, his 30,000 is a real number, that is, the real troops, as for logistics, all of them are handed over to businessmen, and there are big ships to transport, so he is not afraid of the so-called expedition at all.

As for grain and grass, there are about two million mu of land in the first phase of Xiaoliuqiu's reclamation, although the output of the new land is not high, but it can't hold up the large quantity, plus the side itself can't consume much, it is definitely enough to support Wang Xuan to go to Annan.

Some of the big ships were transported by Wang Xuan's own and the navy, and some of them were hired merchant ships, of course, these things were being prepared, and the outside world did not get any news.

The army began to assemble towards Zhangzhou Mansion and Zhangpu, and on weekdays, Wang Xuan often engaged in activities such as pulling and training, and rapid marching, but this time it did not attract anyone's attention, and the departure of the 2,000 troops in Fuzhou Port was even quieter.

Of the two thousand people, Yang Xingwei led the troops, and Fan Wencheng accompanied him.

After arriving in Fujian, this guy has opened his eyes, the huge port, the weaving crowd, the elite army, the wealthy people, compared to the Jurchens, I don't know how much stronger, and taking refuge in such a person is a hundred times stronger than the Jurchens!

At the very least, a traitor's hat was taken off, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart that in the future, he would be the absolute loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and the first-class lackey in Wang Xuan's hands, who he would catch and bite!

The creed of life in the future is, one: what Wang Xuan said is right. 2: What should I do if Wang Xuan says something wrong, please refer to the first article!

Since Wang Xuan said that he would fight Annan, then he would fight Annan, as for whether the Annan people would rebel?

It doesn't exist, he has been with the Jurchens for a year, and he has indeed seen too much about this, those Han slaves who have been captured all the way away, after being sent to various families, as long as they can live, they have absolutely never thought of rebellion, and they are grateful to Dade for a little sweetness.

The reason for this, after he summed it up, is that he is afraid of being killed!

Fear of power but not virtue, this is the common nature of people, including those who have read the books of the sages and understand things, all of them are one person, look at how many scholars do things for the Jurchens under the rule of the Jurchens, otherwise, do you really expect those reckless men who don't know a basket of big characters to exercise the right to rule?

For the scholars living in the Jurchens, although when they see the Jurchens, they are inferior to dogs, but they are still powerful and blessed on weekdays, and they are no worse than in the Central Plains.

Therefore, he is the most sympathetic to Wang Xuan's words, what is the special king, what is the special preaching of benevolence and righteousness, go to the special one, kill, kill all the brave ones, and then naturally there will be no more.

This time, Fan Wencheng and Yang Xingwei's destination is 'Gusu County', which is not the Gusu outside Suzhou, but a large island near the sea off Annam.

This is the forward base selected by Wang Xuan, and all the grain, grass, ordnance, and soldiers will be slowly transported here, and then use this as a bridgehead to raid Thang Long Mansion in one fell swoop.

He was accompanied not only by 2,000 soldiers, but also by many craftsmen and cargo ships, for the purpose of building the first few bases.

It wasn't until a month later, after Wang Xuan received the news that the construction of the advance base had been completed, that he convened everyone again.

Things are much simpler, the army is dispatched, there is no need to hide anything at this time, and no one would have thought that Wang Xuan was actually preparing to fight Annan, after all, with the power of the whole country of the Ming Dynasty, he has no ability to completely occupy Annan, let alone Wang Xuan.

This move immediately attracted the attention of the entire Fujian and even the neighboring province of Guangdong, after all, the distance between Zhangzhou and Chaozhou, Guangdong is too close, such a large-scale action, it is strange not to make people over there wonder.

Just when all the big families in Chaozhou were puzzled, Wang Xuan's fleet disappeared without a trace, and no one saw it for several days, so no one paid attention to it.

In fact, it's not that no one saw it, but that the people who saw it were all ordered by Wang Xuan to be recruited, as for whether the other party was willing to go out with the army and whether there would be losses, Wang Xuan didn't think about this, I believe, and no one dared to mind.

From Fujian through Guangdong, bypassing the Leizhou Strait, and going straight to Gusu County, even if it is a relatively advanced ship in Wang Xuan's hand, it will take twenty days, of course, for ancient wars, twenty days' journey, not too close, that kind of march will take several months abound, not to mention, taking a boat, in fact, is not tiring.

Twenty days later, Gusu, the temporarily cast wharf is still a little simple, but it is enough to berth temporarily, 30,000 troops, it took a day just to go ashore, fortunately, all kinds of baggage do not need to be unloaded, this is to be set off with the army.

Here, after three days of repair, he had to set off directly, knowing that at this moment, Wang Xuan began to issue specific orders.

Shenglong Mansion, located inland, but can go all the way up the Red River and directly into Shenglong Mansion, which is also, Wang Xuan dares to say that he has the confidence to lay down Shenglong Mansion, as long as he is unprepared to attack it, with the 30,000 troops in his hand, Wang Xuan has a great chance of winning it in one fell swoop.

It's just that from the mouth of the Red River to Thang Long Province, it takes a day to go by land and water, and how not to let the enemy find out is the most important thing.

In the camp hall, Wang Xuan stood next to the map on the wall, and said in a deep voice: "According to the information received, the entire Annan has a population of 400W, divided into north and south, and the population in the north is about 230, with a total of 150,000 troops stationed in various places. ”

"The main garrison is Guangnan, where is the front line of the Zheng Ruan dispute, although there is no big war yet, where the garrison has reached about 60,000 people, in addition, and I have more than 30,000 troops at the border of Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong."

"Of the remaining 60,000 or so, there are 40,000 in Thang Long Province, about 10,000 troops from other provinces, and another 10,000 people stationed here."

Wang Xuan knocked here and continued: "This place is called Nanding, it is the outer gateway of Thang Long Mansion, from here it is only two hundred miles away from Thang Long Mansion, you can reach it by boat in half a day, if you march on the road, you will be responsible for four days quickly, and if you are slow, you will not know!" ”

Wang Xuan didn't know how far Annanbing's specific quality could be, but he wasn't too worried anyway.

"Normally, if you want to attack Thang Long Mansion, you must take down Nanding City, but we have to do the opposite, change small and medium-sized boats and go up the river, straight into Thang Long Mansion, and don't give them any chance to react!"

After Wang Xuan's strategy was finished, suddenly, there was a gasping sound in the hall, is this a little too risky?

Yu Leyou, Qi Xinghui, and Di Haokuo glanced at each other, and in the end, Di Haokuo was the oldest, and he stepped out of the ranks and said: "Lord, is this a little too risky, if we don't take Nanding City, our back road may be cut off at any time, and when the time comes, once there is a slight accident, it will be intercepted on the Red River, if so, I am afraid that the result will not be good." ”

Wang Xuan's eyes circled the crowd, and seeing that everyone's faces were a little bad, he knew that everyone thought so, so he snorted coldly and said, "You guys, you are still blinded by the fixed war situation. ”

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Wang Xuan continued: "Who of you has ever seen such a big battle ship before? ”

Everyone shook their heads together.

"Just two thousand-ton warships went across the river outside Nanding City, relying on the strong crossbows and archers on the ships, even if there were 10,000 troops in Nanding City? Can you attack it? ”

How can it be!

Everyone still knows this in their hearts, and with the well-equipped level of their own home, those small boats in Annam ...... Just move and crush them.

"They can't attack it, how can they block the Red River!?"

"As long as the Red River is unblocked, we will fight if we want to, and we will leave if we want, how can the people of Annam endure me?"

"Once the gap in the equipment of war is too big, the initiative of the war is not something that can be controlled by a large number of people, you also have to adapt to the situation, as long as we have the world's first warship in our hands, on both sides of the river, let us gallop!"

"Besides, he Zhu Di can lead the cavalry directly into Nanjing City and set the world, is my Wang Xuan worse than him!"

As soon as the last sentence came out, everyone didn't dare to squeak, even if they were a little worried, they had to suppress it, otherwise how else could they say that you Wang Xuan was inferior to Zhu Di?

Damn, isn't it good to be alive?

Once the grand strategy is set, the rest is the details.

The 30,000-strong army marched to the river, and it was inevitable to change to medium-sized ships, plus the weight of food, and the fleet required was very large, but fortunately, this time the flat-bottomed sand boats were specially brought, and it would take a day to sail to Thang Long.

This will definitely be discovered by the people of Nanding City, if you report to Shenglong Mansion quickly, you can reach it in five hours, and the absolute speed will exceed that of Wang Xuan's fleet.

So how to intercept the information and not let the people of Thang Long Mansion know is the most important thing whether this surprise attack can succeed.

Wang Xuan's gaze turned around in the crowd, and finally fell on Yu Sheng, the captain of the special combat team immediately stepped out and knelt on one knee, "My subordinates are willing to take two thousand people from the special combat battalion to intercept the passage between Thang Long Mansion and Nanding City, and ensure that not a single bird can fly over." ”

Since the last expansion of the army to 50,000, Wang Xuan once again picked out 1,000 people who have the qualifications to cultivate internal skills to supplement the special combat team, and the practice is still the "Burning Blood Gong" that he made......

Not only will it consume potential, but it will also consume ten years of life, which is also because Wang Xuan supplies medicinal herbs and meat on a large scale, and moreover, it can only be cultivated to the peak of the third rate at the most, and it really has no promotion value, only neuropathy can cultivate.

However, this exercise has a characteristic, first, there is no bottleneck, you can smoothly reach the peak of the third rate, and second, the cultivation speed is fast, and it can be completed within three years, and this exercise has the effect of forging the body, although it is not as exaggerated as the golden bell cover iron cloth shirt, the knife cuts a white mark, and grabs a white dot.

But it is also a layer of cowhide armor on top, plus the leather armor that Wang Xuan gave them, it is not much inferior to the average iron armor.

At the very least, the bows and arrows used by ordinary soldiers, as long as they are not within ten paces of each other, will not be injured, and even if they are injured, most of them are only minor injuries.

With this ancient version of the special forces, Wang Xuan is a fool if he doesn't use it.

"Why are you so beautiful, you need two thousand people, and I still need you!" Wang Xuan glared at Yu Sheng fiercely.

After Wang Xuan finished speaking, the other civil and military officials lowered their heads and laughed secretly.

"A special messenger, it would be good to have one or two people, give you one hundred and fifty people, a group of five, three roads, give me ten waves of interceptors on each road, not to mention the messenger, not a single living mouth is allowed to pass!"

"You can arrange the selection yourself, and when the army is about to reach the mouth of the Red River, you will set off in advance and complete the task incomparably, as for you, the task of attacking Shenglong Mansion and opening the city gate will be completed by you!"

Yu Sheng's face turned red, and he quickly bowed down.

The army repaired for three days, boarded the ship again and set off, from Gusu County to the mouth of the Red River, it took a day and a night, fortunately, this Fujian sea chart Wang Xuan let people collect it early, but it would not delay the trip.

Before the sun rose on the third day, the fleet reached the outskirts of the Red River estuary, where some fishermen from Annam could already be seen fishing offshore.

Thinking of the conflict with Annan over the fishing boat problem four hundred years later, Wang Xuan did not hesitate to order all of them to be hanged!

At the same time, the first batch of special combat team members have already changed to small boats and went straight to the mouth of the Red River, and it will take a lot of time for the army to transfer.

Fortunately, if the sea is cleaned up, there is no fear of leaked information.

After more than half an hour of busy work, the transfer of 30,000 troops was completed, and the fleet set off in a majestic manner, and the speed was very fast, after all, they were all elite men in the army, and they didn't feel tired when they changed rowing.

An hour later, Nanding City was already in sight, and at this time, the soldiers on the wall of Nanding City could already see the fleets on the big river with no end in sight, and they stretched out their necks in surprise.

Throughout the 200 years of the Hou Li Dynasty, there has never been such a large fleet, this, this is simply a fantasy, is it dazzling!?

(I can only update 4,000 words, the lowest ever, it's really unbearable!) ）

(Three days ago, my son had a cold and fever, and the fever reached 40 degrees, and I took care of my mother for two days, okay, and then my mother fell down with a high fever...... I was also sore the next day, as if I had been beaten with more than a dozen sticks, and I couldn't lift my arms, in fact, I was also to blame for this, the night before, I thought my physique must be fine, but I drank three bottles of beer in the middle of the night, and thundered a pound of beef, and the next day it was over......, today, I also have a high fever that I never have a fever, 39 °, it's really a pit! ）
