Li Guang arched his hand and said endlessly.

"If you set up a village here, manage it carefully, and build several zhang stone walls at the north and south passes, with the mountains on the east and west sides as natural barriers, even if 50,000 troops are besieged, there is nothing to be done."

"But the last general inquired around and collected intelligence and learned that the Later Jin Emperor Taiji had more than 100,000 troops and all of them were cavalry, and sooner or later he would go out of Salxu and fight a decisive battle with the Ming army."

"Please forgive Your Highness, and the general will be innocent...... In this later generation, the Ming Dynasty is really a weak country, and there will be no will to die, and the soldiers will not fight. The bureaucracy is corrupt and the court is weak...... It's a pity why did my descendants of the Han Dynasty fall to this...... The last general dared to assert that the Ming Dynasty did not have an army that could confront the Houjin. ”

"Subsequently, Huang Taiji will finally sweep through Liaodong, collect all the soldiers of the Han nationality, and then knock on Shanhaiguan, point the sword at Beiping, and then swallow the world."

Zhu Cijiong's face was stunned.

is worthy of the famous Han general Li Guang.

Li Guang, who was summoned by the system to assist him at the end of the Ming Dynasty, only took more than half a month to understand the general trend of the world so thoroughly.

Even, the future march routes of the Later Jin and Manchu Qing dynasties, the development trend is not far from ten.

Zhu Cizhi continued to wait for Li Guang to continue.

"Before knocking on Shanhaiguan, the Houjin army must have swept through Liaodong."

"When the time comes, more than 100,000 Houjin cavalry with hundreds of thousands of Han troops, showing a north-south trend, besieging Yangguan Fort, His Royal Highness will be defeated."

See Li Guang finish speaking.

Zhu Cizhi stroked his palms and sighed.

He is worthy of being a famous general through the ages.

Not only is he extremely brave on the battlefield, but he can even judge the situation more than ten years or decades later.

Truly.

Before Houjin Jiannu poured out, Yangguan Fort, which was built as a fortress, could indeed withstand the siege of tens of thousands of troops.

However, Huang Taiji came out with the whole army, even if he only accepted half of the Han army in Liaodong, Yangguan Fort could only be overturned and destroyed.

Moonlight is like water.

Visible trees that illuminate the earth.

Zhu Cizhi pointed to the northern pass and asked again.

"General Li, within a few days, can you build a simple walled city here with trees and piles of soil as walls?"

Li Guang nodded.

"How many soldiers and horses can a simple walled city withstand?"

Zhu Cizhi asked again.

"More than 10,000 soldiers and horses, they will definitely not be able to enter...... Is Your Majesty really planning to set up camp here? ”

Li Guang once again expressed his concerns.

Zhu Cizhi smiled and shook his head.

"Here, it can only be used as a granary."

"There are nearly 100,000 acres of fertile land around Yangguanbao, which can produce 70 million catties of grain and raise 100,000 soldiers and horses every year."

"So before the Houjin troops attack on all fronts, this place must be in our hands."

Zhu will then stretch out his right index finger and point to the southeast in the dark.

"After we gain a firm foothold in Yangguanbao, we will send troops to the southeast, passing through Pangu Fort, Xinjin, and Xiaoshan Mountain, and arrive at Jinzhou Mansion."

"Jinzhou is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and only a narrow sea corridor with a width of less than 30 miles from east to west is connected to the Liaodong Peninsula...... That's where I plan to be my main base. ”

"And there are hundreds of large and small islands on the east side of the Golden State Province up to the coast of Goryeo, and these are unsinkable combat aircraft carriers...... When we have enough troops, we can use these islands as a springboard to swallow the entire Liaodong Peninsula. ”

I see.

A look of amazement and admiration instantly appeared in Li Guang's eyes.

Still, he had some doubts.

"Your Highness, you are really a military wizard."

"However, there is one thing that will not be clear."

"Aircraft carrier, what is it?"

Zhu Cizhi coughed several times in embarrassment.

I was so excited to say it that I accidentally even popped up modern words.

"There is no need to pay too much attention to these details, General Li can understand it as a military base at sea."

Straight to the point.

Zhu Cizhi immediately gave an order to Li Guang.

"General Lee, put all available manpower ...... Including our headquarters soldiers and horses, hired people of Yangguan Fort, displaced people who defected to us, and the garrison of Yangguan Fort...... All of them were sent out, cutting down trees, piling up earthworks, and being sure to build a simple walled city before the arrival of the Fuzhou capital army to use it to suppress the enemy. ”

"The last general commands."

Li Guang hurried away.

At this time.

Zhang Xiaoyi had already led the refugees from Gaojiatun and transported the first batch of supplies to Yangguanbao.

In addition to more than 300 refugees from Gaojiatun, Zhang Xiaoyi took in hundreds of displaced people along the way.

In total, more than 700 people were gathered.

This made Zhu Cizhi extremely happy and satisfied.

Currently, the available population in his system value panel has exceeded 1,000.

And these thousands of people, when included in the system, each person also provided 10 points of popular support.

Looking at the more than 20,000 available people's hearts on the data panel, Zhu Cizhi unceremoniously spent it.

First of all, it is to set up Yangguan Fort as a sub-base.

At the moment when the sub-base was decided, the army limit in the system panel instantly jumped from 500 to 1500...... Well, it's the same as in the game, with each sub-base opened, the army limit increases.

However, the highest general that Zhu Cizhi can appoint is still a centurion who can only command 112 people.

It seems that if you want to massively increase the troop limit and appoint generals with a higher number of troops, you can only achieve it by upgrading the main/sub-base level, or occupying county seats, state capitals, and provinces, and having a complete internal affairs management system.

Subsequently, it was the appointment of officers.

In addition to Li Guang and Zhang Xiaoyi, Zhu Cizhi promoted four centurions among the troops brought from Beijing.

Finally, just like in the game, name each unit.

Li Guang's cavalry battalion...... The number of people is the smallest, only 20 cavalry rewarded by the previous system, but as the fist class in Zhu Cizhi's army system, it is better to lack than to overuse, and wait for the future to be upgraded or recruited to replenish the troops.

Zhang Xiaoyi's field camp...... Similarly, there were only 26 people, all of them guerrilla infantry of the second class of the empire...... The field battalion will be the main force built by Zhu Cijiong, and after the end of the big war in a few days, a large number of first-class imperial infantry soldiers will be promoted.

The troops under the jurisdiction of the four new centurions were named the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth scout battalions by Zhu Cizhi.

The scout camp is just nice to hear, but it's actually a boot camp.

The five scout battalions with a full strength of 560 men were all composed of first-class Imperial infantry soldiers armed with iron swords and carrying wooden bows.

Of course, these newly recruited first-class Imperial soldiers were all selected from among the displaced refugees who had just been incorporated into the system population.

As a direct consequence of this, almost all of the young and middle-aged people in the population of more than 1,000 were recruited by Zhu Cizhi, leaving only a few dozen people for skilled jobs such as craftsmen and grooms.

However, the most important and severe test at the moment is the big war in a few days.

After the war, it is not too late to slowly gather the population and form a complete military auxiliary system.

Busy all night.

Looking at the five recruit scout battalions on the system panel, plus the pitiful field and cavalry battalions with a small number of people, Zhu Cizhi still smiled with a little satisfaction.

With more than 600 troops in hand, relying on the favorable terrain of Yangguan Fort, it should not be a big problem to kill all the 500 elite soldiers in the Fuzhou capital city that will arrive in a few days.
