Mao Wenlong and other generals also discussed a record, that is, the brigade and the Dongjiang headquarters each dispatched a cooperation, but only half of the troops were attacked first, and the other half was used as a reserve, and the target was the mobilized Jiannu.

Although Zhang Pan and Kong Youde both belong to Dongjiang Town and are also subordinates of Mao Wenlong, such an operation also needs to take into account the safety of Luda.

The communication was not slow, and Zhang Pan and Kong Youde's replies were also very fast, and they agreed to take action with the record. In other words, with only two associations, they have the confidence to hold the brigade.

All things considered, Mao Wenlong and others also tend to record. Whether it is an ambush or a head-on battle, the men and horses of the two associations have the meaning of waiting for work, and the battle is more advantageous.

"The commander will personally direct this operation." Mao Wenlong's tone of voice was not much negotiable, and the reason was also very sufficient, "This old life of a certain person should still be able to attract Jiannu to come." ”

Gou Zhenhuai did not compete, because military merit was dispensable to him.

As long as you honestly do what the emperor explains, it is not a problem to be promoted to the rank of official. But on the other hand, no matter how great the military feats are, they can't offset the bad impression left by the dereliction of duty on the emperor.

And as the salary officers, military judges, and middle- and lower-ranking officers were constantly replaced by officers who graduated from martial arts, the purpose of the Dongjiang Army being controlled by the imperial court had basically been achieved.

It's not too appropriate to say that control, it was originally the country's army, and you are not subject to the control of the imperial court, what is the matter?

As for Mao Wenlong's domineering in history and his warlord nature, it was caused by the environment, and the Ming court also had an unshirkable responsibility.

As for opening the town from the Dongjiang River, Zhu Youxiao was regulated in accordance with the new army system.

How could Mao Wenlong be allowed to embark on the old road of history by mastering food and military law, enriching the officers with martial arts backgrounds, enhancing the combat strength of the Dongjiang Army, and not interfering with Mao Wenlong's military command?

What's more, Mao Wenlong is delusional, so he has to look at the current situation, right?

There are no private soldiers, self-sufficiency in logistics cannot be guaranteed, and most of the generals under him are loyal to the court, so he doesn't have that condition if he wants to die!

Another example is Li Zicheng, if the post station is not abolished, the treatment may get better, and there is no chaos in the world and hungry people, can he rebel like crazy?

Environment, opportunities, and experiences are the main factors that change a person's mind. Without the change of these factors, it is natural to move step by step.

Therefore, first lay a good foundation, set a normative framework, and then supervise and restrict, so you don't have to worry too much about the long and crooked.

Now, Mao Wenlong, like other generals of the Ming army, wants to fight on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, and then add officials to the rank of knight, seal his wife and son, and strive to reach the peak of military generals.

Gou Zhenhuai had no opinion, but Chen Jisheng was a little worried about Mao Wenlong's safety, and said: "Mao Shuai, if you want to attract Jiannu to attack, you can play the banner of the marshal, and you don't have to be a marshal to get involved in the battle, right?" ”

Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "If the Iron Mountain was not the defense personally arranged by General Chen, this operation could have led the troops to command. ”

The two banners are in Zhenjiang, and it is difficult to say whether they will launch an attack. If you want to attack, the defensive operations of Yizhou and Tieshan are naturally the most familiar to Chen Jisheng.

Gou Zhenhuai pondered for a while and said, "Although Mao Shuai personally led the people, it was the same if he stayed on the ship to command. ”

Mao Wenlong pretended to think about it, accepted Gou Zhenhuai's suggestion, and thanked him, but he didn't think so in his heart.

It is inevitable that the general will die in battle, and this is the psychological preparation that a soldier should have. If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you can get rid of your armor and return to the field.

…………………

Zhenjiang.

Erbeile Amin and Babeile Huang Taiji garrisoned here to suppress the Dongjiang headquarters, as a response to the father Khan's attack on Ningyuan and Juehua.

After Amin was defeated at Fort Arthur, he was punished by Nurhachi, and several of his cattle were transferred to the two yellow flags, which damaged the strength of the blue flags again.

Although he wanted to avenge his brother Zaisangu, in the battle of Fort Arthur, he still had lingering fears about the might of the Ming army's firearms, and he didn't think of a good way to deal with it.

Therefore, after garrisoning Zhenjiang, Amin did not act rashly, but was quite honest, obeyed Nurhachi's orders, and took Huang Taiji as the main general and obeyed his orders.

Huang Taiji sent cavalry across the frozen Yalu River into Sinuiju, and after receiving the information that the Ming army had taken the initiative to retreat and the people had moved away, he thought twice and did not continue to attack Tieshan.

In his analysis, the Ming army did not intend to lure its own army deep and then copy it by sea. As for the arrangement of his father Khan, Huang Taiji did not agree with it.

Such a close suppression can certainly play a role in disrupting the Ming army's hearing and hearing and buying some time for the main attacking troops. But in southern Liaoning and Zhenjiang, the distance between the two groups is too great, and the gap in the middle is worrying.

Nurhachi would not fail to see this, but he had his considerations.

The coastline of Zhuanghe, Huanggudao Fort, and Guifu Fort has been disturbed several times by the Ming army's landing raids, and the Liao people who can run have all fled, and it has almost become a no-man's land.

Because of this, Nurhachi thought that if the Ming army landed again, there would be no big losses. If the landed Ming army continued to go deeper, it was possible that it would be caught between the two major groups of Houjin and Jin, or even cut off from retreat.

Of course, Huang Taiji also knew what his father Khan meant, but he was more worried that the landing of the Ming army would no longer be an attack, but a heavy army to cut off the connection between him and Daishan, and then carry out a flanking battle in turn.

Judging from different ideas, Huang Taiji is obviously more vigilant than Nurhachi, and he is even more frightened by the changes in the Ming army in the past half a year.

And the defeat of Quang Ninh and Fort Arthur seem to be similar on the surface, both of which are the weak ability of the Later Jin Army.

But if you carefully study and analyze, you will find that the Ming army has dared to take the initiative. Amin's blue flag suffered heavy losses, and it was precisely because of the Ming army's front and rear attacks that he was defeated.

If the Ming army just can't retreat, it will besiege if it can't be attacked, or retreat to find another fighter, and the Houjin army will have the initiative, and the losses can be controlled.

However, the Ming army dared to attack in formation, and this change had to attract the attention and attention of Huang Taiji.

For a long time, the Later Jin Army was known for its field battles and was one of the killer weapons to defeat the Ming army. In the field, the Houjin army was able to win more with less, and it seems that it has not yet been defeated.

If there is no advantage in the field, or it can be said that the gap is narrowed by the Ming army. With the manpower advantage of the Ming Dynasty, it was not something that the Later Jin could compete with at all.

Let's just say that the Dongjiang Army, which is now directly confronting the Houjin Army, will definitely suffer a big loss if it only formulates a plan based on their strength and strength.

Because, behind the Dongjiang Army, there are Dengzhen and Jinzhen. There are sea ships to transport, who knows if they will suddenly join the war group and deal an unexpected blow to the Houjin army?
