Wang Hongyu waited for Cai Fuyi's joy, which was no less than Cao Cao's Xun or.

The new governor can provide much more support than the officials of Yunyang and Xiangyang.

What's more, Cai Fuyi received the secret edict, and he was also the person whom the Emperor of the Apocalypse had personally met and entrusted this important mission to him.

Wang Hongyu personally went to Yunyang City to greet Governor Cai Fuyi.

As soon as Cai Fu heard that Wang Hongyu was coming, he stepped forward to meet Wang Hongyu in a sedan chair.

Wang Hongyu, a young and heroic man, officially met with Cai Fuyi, an old minister with a solid body and strong spirits.

"The last general, Wang Hongyu, see Governor Cai."

"The old decay Cai Fuyi, I am here to cooperate with the Marquis of Dingyuan, you must not be so respectful of the old decay, you only need to call your husband or Yuan Xu."

Cai Fuyi, the word Jingfu, the number Yuanxu, is a native of Kinmen, Quanzhou, Fujian. He once served as the director of the Criminal Department, Huguang participated in politics, Huguang was appointed as an envoy, and Shanxi Zuobu was the political envoy, and he had just been promoted to the governor of Yunyang.

Wang Hongyu replied: "Mr. Yuanlu, you have just arrived and haven't rested, but the last general has to hurry up to talk about military affairs, I am really sorry."

"I would like to thank Dingyuan Hou for his recommendation. Today, I really sighed, Dingyuan Hou did not rest after the bloody battle of the Hunhe, and immediately went south after the capital was rewarded, and now he personally handles all aspects of military affairs, but it is too late to get old. ”

Wang Hongyu specially selected Cai Fuyi among the candidates for governor of Yunyang.

After Cai Fuyi was summoned and appointed, he was also one of the very few people who knew the identity of Wang Hongyu Dingyuanhou.

Emperor Tianqi introduced to him in person the details of the bloody battle of Hunhe and the battle of Liaoyang and Shenyang, and informed Wang Hongyu, the Marquis of Dingyuan, that he was now recruiting and training troops in Yunyang, and that the two families of Lu'an were about to make trouble.

The position of the governor of Yunyang is very important, and he must reverse the previous situation of decadent military equipment and fully cooperate with Wang Hongyu to deal with the situation in the southwest.

Cai Fuyi is not an ordinary civil official, he is a common choice of many parties, and he is also one of the people who can accept this match the most.

Wang Hongyu welcomed Cai Fuyi into the city, and the two talked about the current situation along the way.

"The Yunyang guard is dilapidated, and the guards are not suitable for entering Sichuan, and it is a great achievement to ensure local security. At present, there are 3,000 Hunhe Army, and 3,000 Tuntian Army can attack. ”

Wang Hongyu first introduced the situation here in Yunyang, in fact, this number is very small, but the combat power of the Hunhe Army is obviously stronger than that of the battalion soldiers and the guard soldiers, and of course it is the core force.

Cai Fuyi thought slightly, a few years ago, when he served as Huguang's political participation, Hubei's defense and Chenyuan's military garrison, and presided over the construction of the Miaojiang Great Wall, he was very familiar with Huguang's military strength.

"Huguang is very large, and it is said that Xiangyang, Wuchang, and Jiangling in the north are very rich, and there should be strong armies to defend them, but in fact there are no soldiers to fight at all.

However, the guards of the Great Wall of Miaojiang in the south of Huguang still have combat power, and there are a certain number of mature Miao soldiers and Zhenxiao soldiers, which can at least reach the combat power of battalion soldiers and above. ”

At this time, Huguang was actually the two provinces of Hunan and Hubei in the future.

In the prosperous area to the north, the guard station was busy farming and had little combat power.

The south is different, Hunan has produced a strong army from ancient times to the present, and the Ming Dynasty is no exception. In particular, in the process of building the Great Wall of Miaojiang, standardizing the trade between Miaojiang and the Han people, and promoting the transformation of raw seedlings into mature seedlings, it cannot be done without a military foundation.

In the southwest of Huguang, in addition to the guards that rely on the guards who do not leave production, there are of course two elites.

One of them is the elite seedling soldiers composed mainly of mature seedlings. These Miao soldiers are sometimes regarded as Tusi soldiers or wolf soldiers, and are known for their fierce and good warriors.

The other is the Zhenxiao soldiers, who are specially active on the Great Wall of Miaojiang to deal with the rebellion of Shengmiao.

The soldiers of the town are all brave and good fighters, and they usually get along with each other, and they often fight internally. As soon as the whistle sounded, a confrontation between the two armies was immediately formed. Their equipment is relatively poor, of course, they can't be compared with the Jiubian, Sichuan soldiers, and Zhejiang soldiers, but with them, they can always defeat the chaos of Miaojiang.

The guards of the Great Wall of Miaojiang are sometimes regarded as part of the town soldiers.

Cai Fu pinched his fingers and counted the number of people: "There are more than 10,000 reliable Miao soldiers and Zhen Xiao soldiers in Huguang. Counting the number of troops that can be fought by the Miaojiang Great Wall Guard, there can be 30,000 or 40,000 people. ”

"If you enter Guizhou from Huguang, will the local logistics supply be able to support such a force?" Wang Hongyu is well aware that the local area is surrounded by mountains, and it is too difficult to rely on transportation for logistics, so it is obvious that local supply should be the mainstay.

Cai Fuyi's face suddenly became serious: "If the grain and grass are transported from Changsha and Hengzhou to Baoqing, Ruanzhou, and Jingzhou, and then the grain from Baoqing, Ruanzhou, and Jingzhou is transported to Guizhou, so that the relay of grain transportation can supply more than 30,000 troops to Guizhou."

This method of transporting grain in relay has been used since ancient times.

The march of the army and the transportation of grain are not carried and eaten while walking, so the march can only be as slow as the speed of transporting grain, which will delay the war.

The soldiers and horses must eat the local grain reserves and transport away the surplus local grain.

If you don't leave food for the locals, won't you starve the people to death?

Therefore, the grain transported from the back has to be replenished to the depleted locality.

In this way, although the local reserves of grain will not be eaten up, they will also have to be taken away and transported forward. The replenishment that will be shipped later, so that it will be faster.

Cai Fuyi has stayed in Huguang for many years, and presided over the Great Wall of Miaojiang and Miao, and his judgment of local supply capacity is very accurate.

"So, 30,000 soldiers and horses is the limit?"

"It is to reach the limit of the normal local supply, and no matter how much it is, it will have to suffer the people and collect grain from Miao Village, which will increase a certain risk." Cai Fuyi did not bite to death the maximum 30,000 soldiers who entered Guizhou from Huguang, but he made the risk clear.

Wang Hongyu thought for a while, this time to stabilize the overall situation in the southwest, not only to pacify the rebellion of luxury, but also to greatly promote the reform of the land and return to the stream, unite Tusi and Miao Zhai to send troops to recruit Jiannu.

You should leave your enemies isolated and helpless, but have many friends.

"30,000 is enough, please contact the governor to contact people and make material preparations in this regard."

I have started to deal with the luxury family and settle down in advance, and of course I don't plan to excessively consume local resources.

"Okay, I will suggest that the other side prepare in advance, and when the Marquis of Dingyuan is officially in charge, I can officially order them to act."

Cai Fuyi recalled that a month ago, the Emperor of the Apocalypse summoned him and mentioned the Renchen War in the Wanli period, that is, the battle against the Japanese army in aid of Korea.

It is said that Li Rusong, with the military general as the commander, led the Ming army to defeat the elite main force of the Wa State in a field battle, so that the enemy, who was several times larger than the Ming army, had to turn to the defense......

mentioning Li Rusong as the head coach is actually preparing for Wang Hongyu to follow Li Rusong's example as the coach of the pacification of the Lu'an Rebellion.

Li Rusong has great merit, and so does Wang Hongyu; The Li family is from Liaodong and is familiar with the situation, and the Marquis of Dingyuan is also familiar with it when he lives in Sichuan.

Only in terms of age, the Marquis of Dingyuan is still a little young, but the veterans of Sichuan, Zhejiang, and Jiubian admire him, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

He even felt that Wang Hongyu, the Marquis of Dingyuan, would be more powerful than Li Rusong back then......
