Chapter 400: The sun and the moon rise in the east, and the war begins!

"Haha, I haven't seen Lao Qian for a long time, this body is quite tough!"

In the command room of the palace Kyushu reconquest operation, a general wearing a new military uniform patted him with laughter, and Qian Yu, who was chatting with a person next to him, was next to the map.

When Qian Yu heard this familiar voice, his face showed surprise, he turned his head and saw that it was a familiar face, and laughed when he saw the person opposite taking him into his arms and slapping it a few times.

"Lao Zhang, it's been a long time."

Letting go of the other party and looking at the flush on the other party's face, Qian Yu sighed with emotion: "You guys have really worked the plateau. Then he said to the people around him, "Look at this former little white face has turned red Guan Gong." ”

Hahaha, there was a burst of laughter in an instant.

Zhang Xian wiped his face and sighed helplessly.

"The skin is still a small problem, the most headache is the problem of eating, I can't get the rice cooked, I gnaw green particles every day, and my teeth are almost worn out."

"Or you are comfortable in the Principality of Ryazan, I heard that you eat mutton and beef every day, and the girls of the Principality of Ryazan are all rushing to drill into your bed."

Qian Yu glared when he heard this, "Don't ruin my reputation, you kid, I'm not that kind of person, I'm very loyal to my daughter-in-law, if my daughter-in-law hears what you say, I still think I've done something sorry for her." ”

"Hehe, it's like you haven't done anything to be sorry for him."

As soon as Qian Yu's words came out, Deng Heng, who was discussing with him just now, made up for it with a smile.

Qian Yu was speechless for an instant.

Others don't know what they did, but this old partner next to him is very clear.

"Ahem..."

"It's a nice day today."

"Hahaha..."

Another burst of laughter rang out.

"British Duke, the general of Shangzhu State has arrived!"

Just when the generals were chatting happily, the officer on duty at the door shouted, and many generals in the room hurriedly stood up and faced the direction of the door.

Zhang Fu, who was dressed in a general's uniform, walked in with a smile with his apprentice Jiang Huai and several major army generals.

"Hello sir!"

Everyone saluted collectively.

Zhang Fu nodded and returned the salute with a smile.

"I heard you laughing so happily outside just now, what makes you so happy."

"Hehe, master, you don't know, we're discussing General Qian's ups and downs."

Seeing that his master was coming, Zhang Xian hurriedly came up with a smile.

"British duke, don't listen to his nonsense, what kind of wind and snow, nothing."

Seeing that Zhang Xian actually told the British public about his troubles, Qian Yu's face turned white all of a sudden.

But the other party said about his own relatives, if this matter spreads to his daughter-in-law, he will definitely have a fat beating.

"You, if you like it, take a concubine and come back, don't play so much, those women outside are not clean, and they will regret it if they have any disease."

Zhang Fu didn't say much about this, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and his only worry is that the other party is playing too much, and he is infected with some disease and passes it on to his cousin and niece.

"Yes!"

Qian Yu responded embarrassedly, and glared viciously at Zhang Xian, who was smiling evilly.

After educating his cousin and son-in-law, Zhang Fu looked at the generals in the house, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "We have so many old brothers, we haven't been together like this for at least five or six years." ”

One of the generals, who was about the same age as Zhang Fu, said with a smile: "It's been at least 8 years, and since our territory has become larger, the brothers have rarely gotten together, even if they meet, it's only one or two." ”

"It's like today, it's still when His Majesty Taizong was alive, when the Western Expedition Conference was held, it's been 8 and a half years since now."

"Alas!"

mentioned the old man, Zhang Fu couldn't help but sigh softly, he still couldn't accept the result that the other party had been dead for several years.

Sometimes whenever he has something to report, he will subconsciously go to the old man.

But every time the telegram began, he remembered that the old man had passed away.

"Is General Qi Yuan back?"

Not wanting to affect everyone's mood because of this incident, Zhang Fu glanced around, but didn't see Qi Yuan, so he asked Qian Yu, who arrived early.

"Not yet, when I came, I heard that their navy went to the artisan camp to see the new artillery, and it may not come until the meeting starts."

"Okay, let's continue to chat, the emperor has prepared a banquet in the evening, and our brothers will not return home if they are not drunk at night."

Knowing that he was here, the generals couldn't let go of their talk, so Zhang Fu left the war room first and went to the Shang study room to find Zhu Zhangui, by the way, he suddenly had an idea last night.

Zhang Fu was right, he is now the highest-ranking army system except for Zhu Zhangui, and he is here, and these generals are a little uncomfortable.

Sure enough, not long after he left, the originally quiet command room became lively again, and a famous general hooked his shoulders and chatted about the past.

And this lively chatting atmosphere reached its peak directly with the arrival of people from the Navy and the Air Force.

At the end of the morning, Zhu Zhangui led several major generals to the operational command room, and the meeting of this battle to unify the world was officially held.

"Your Majesty, generals, I will preside over this meeting next."

After everyone saluted and accompanied Zhu Zhangui to the huge sand table in the middle, Zhang Fu, who served as the general staff officer of the battle for world reunification, stood up and began to prepare to make arrangements for committing crimes.

The scene was instantly quiet, and a famous general held a notebook in his hand, waiting for the record, this meeting that was destined to be recorded in the annals of history.

"According to the intelligence of the Jinyi Guard and the Moon Shadow Guard, the new alliance formed by the West is expected to have a strength of about 3 million, plus various auxiliary arms, and it is estimated that the mobilized combat strength is 5 million."

"And their weapons and equipment are still old-fashioned flintlock pistols, most of which are unrifled, and as for the second-generation rifles we use, they only have a small number of elite troops, and the estimated strength is no more than 30,000."

At the beginning, Zhang Fu first explained the military strength of the West.

Hearing the opponent's strength, the generals frowned slightly, but when they heard the opponent's weapon configuration, their faces showed a relaxed smile.

Since last year, the Daming National Defense Force has been fully equipped with third-generation rifles, and second-line troops have also been equipped with second-generation rifles.

Light and heavy machine guns and even submachine guns can be found everywhere in the main battle Wehrmacht.

Even several mechanized regiments, equipped with a large number of trucks, cars and tribals, are able to quickly move to any position.

The chariot corps adapted from the First Royal Legion is the pride of the Ming Dynasty now.

In order to compete for the position of the commander of this legion, these guys almost made a move.

It's a pity that this legion later fell into the hands of King Zhao, making Zhu Gaosui, King of Zhao, the only vassal king in the Ming Dynasty who controlled the army.

However, the court was not worried about this.

It is not an exaggeration to call this tank regiment the current number one in the world.

But behind the might, what is needed is a terrifying logistical supply.

As far as King Zhao is concerned, let alone feeding this legion, the soldiers' salaries may not be affordable.

In fact, Zhu Zhangui didn't want to choose this third uncle at the beginning.

However, his father's words woke him up.

Your third uncle has fought all his life, and his skills are no worse than the generals under you.

His family members are all in Beijing, and you gave him this army for nothing, and he can't afford to raise it, so what do you have to worry about.

Instead of letting such an excellent general be decadent in the flowers, it is better to let him exert his residual heat, so that he can not only have a reassuring general, but also show your benevolence to the outside world.

Under the persuasion of his father, Zhu Zhangui invited the third uncle over, and the uncle and nephew chatted for a long time, and Zhu Zhangui finally handed over the command of the chariot corps to Zhu Gaosui.

I have to say that Zhu Gaosui, who has followed the old man on the grassland more than once, is very sensitive to rapid movement operations.

Even without a teacher, a similar blitzkrieg theory was proposed.

Zhu Zhangui was stunned at the time, and even suspected that the third uncle had also crossed over.

Zhu Gaosui did not live up to Zhu Zhangui's expectations, managed the chariot corps well, and often discussed the use of the chariot corps with Zhu Zhangui.

Even at the beginning of this year, he personally compiled a chariot corps training manual and a chariot training book, which made Zhu Zhangui can't help but sigh.

Yanhuang has never lacked talents, what is lacking is the vision of discovery, and the stage for these talents to display.

"After many discussions, we decided to turn our Ming Army into 4 front armies in this battle of world unification."

"They are the Northern Juluzhou Front, and the Dongsheng Shenzhou Front, which has the largest number of troops, and the West Niuhe Prefecture Front, and the Southern Ganbuzhou Front, which is dominated by the navy!"

"Next, the emperor will announce the commanders of the four front armies."

The generals breathed hot, and looked at Zhu Zhangui who stood up with a smile expectantly.

"Now I have announced the appointment of the imperial court."

Glancing around at everyone, Zhu Zhangui solemnly began to read out the appointment.

"Zhu Gaosui."

"The minister is here."

The first thing Zhu Zhangui shouted was his third uncle, the commander of the Daming Chariot Legion.

"I appointed you as the commander of the Beiju Luzhou Front, Qian Yu as the deputy commander, and Lu Hao as the chief of staff of the Front."

Zhu Zhangui shouted a name, and one of them stood up and waited for the order.

"I hope that the three of you can live up to the trust of the imperial court and complete this grand plan."

Handing the appointment letter and the troop transfer token to the three of them, Zhu Zhangui solemnly explained.

The three of them took a step back and saluted Zhu Zhangui solemnly.

"Jiang Huai, Zhang Xian, Shen An."

Zhu Zhangui called out the names of the three people again, and the three people who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward.

Looking at the three initial subordinates, Zhu Zhangui handed them the letter of appointment and the token.

"Your Dongsheng Shenzhou Front has the largest number of troops, and the pressure is also the greatest, I hope you can live up to the task entrusted to you."

The three of them knelt on one knee, and Jiang Huai raised his hand and hung his chest heavily.

"If you don't break the enemy's army, you won't turn back!"

Zhu Zhangui nodded with satisfaction and helped the three of them up one by one.

"Deng Heng, Liu Sheng, Mu Sheng!"

When the three of them retreated, Zhu Zhangui shouted three more names.

The three people in the crowd were stunned for a moment when they heard Zhu Zhangui call out their names.

In their minds, with such a heavy position in the four front armies, Zhu Zhangui will definitely choose the most trusted person.

Their old men's former subordinates were not only not young, but they were also a little worse than Jiang Huai and others in terms of loyalty, so at the beginning, they never thought that they could be the commanders of the First Army.

In fact, the biggest thought in their hearts is that they will be satisfied if they can command a legion to participate in this great battle.

However, the emperor actually called them, and the three people's originally calm hearts instantly became excited, and they strode out of the crowd and knelt on one knee.

"The last general!"

The three of them shouted in unison, looking at Zhu Zhangui with blazing eyes.

Especially Liu Sheng, he used to be the commander of the Shenji Battalion, and he was also Zhu Zhangui's first batch of subordinates, but later he was promoted, and his relationship with Zhu Zhangui became more and more distant.

Originally, he thought that with his relationship with Zhu Zhangui, in this great war, it would be good for him to be a small army commander.

Unexpectedly, the emperor chose him and chose him to become the commander of the First Army.

If you want to say that the calmest of the three, it belongs to Deng Heng, he was originally Qian Yu's deputy, if Zhu Zhangui didn't arrange it this time, he would directly follow Qian Yu to the battlefield on the northern front, anyway, he wouldn't miss this big battle anyway.

Mu Sheng was the most unexpected among them, originally thought that his identity might gradually decline in the Ming court, but he didn't expect that in the end, Zhu Zhangui actually gave him a chance.

Looking at the three people in front of him, Zhu Zhangui was silent for a while and said: "Originally, I was going to hand over the Xiniu Hezhou Front Army to someone else's command, but the British Duke found me and chatted with me alone for a long time, he hoped that I could give you old generals a chance and give you a perfect curtain call. ”

"I thought about it for a while, agreed to the suggestion of the British Duke, crossed out the former candidates for the Xiniuhe Prefecture Front, and added the three of you."

handed over the appointment letter of the troop transfer token to the three of them one by one, and Zhu Zhangui helped the three of them up and shook their hands together.

"This is the war that my grandfather has always hoped for, and his old man has no chance to participate, so the task of fighting this war in place of his old man will be handed over to the three uncles."

Hearing Zhu Zhangui mention Zhu Di, the three of them nodded with slightly red eyes.

"Please rest assured, this battle is a little bit bad, and the three of us will come to see each other."

Zhu Zhangui smiled and nodded heavily.

After the three of them retreated to the crowd, Zhu Zhangui looked at the navy.

The Southern Zhanbu Continental Front is composed of the Navy and the Marine Corps, and their mission is the heaviest of all fronts.

They not only have to cooperate with the frontal army landing operations, but also blockade the entire western sea, and the task is the heaviest.

For the same front, the commander was set by themselves, and Zhu Zhangui did not interfere in anything.

The commander of the front army, unsurprisingly, is Li Hu, who is now retired and is becoming the dean of the Naval Academy.

The deputy commander was not Jiang Han, the current commander-in-chief of the Navy, but Qi Yuan, who served as the commander-in-chief of the Marine Corps, and Jiang Han only served as the chief of staff of the Southern Ganbu Continental Front.

After appointing the commanders of the four front armies, Zhu Zhangui came to the huge sand table and officially began to distribute the battle plan.

On the eighth day of August in the third year of Yongxing, the unification of Kyushu Combat Conference was officially held, and the same meeting was also listed as the top secret of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not until a few years after the end of the war that part of the content of this meeting was officially made public, so that future generations would know how fully prepared the Ming Dynasty was for this war.
