Huang Taiji made such a big fuss just to let the fake news reach Yang Chengying's ears.

In fact, it didn't work at all.

On the contrary, it serves as a reminder.

Yang Chengying, who had some knowledge of the border situation and history, immediately called Ning Wan and me and other scholars from the Literary Museum.

"Huang Taiji deliberately separated Liu Xingzuo and others and led the army to form an alliance with the Mongolian tribes."

Yang Chengying analyzed rationally: "I'm afraid this is an excuse, and its real purpose is to cross Jizhen and invade Jingshi." ”

Zu Dashou and Bao Chengxian both gasped, subconsciously thinking that it was impossible, but the handsome man was far-sighted and would definitely not be untargeted.

"It's very likely. Since the incident in the twenty-third year of Wanli, Jizhen has no troops to defend, and it is all relying on Qi Shaobao's prestige to scare the Mongols. ”

Ning Wan calmly analyzed: "Jianyu has no way to go to the south, and the sky is cold and freezing to the north, and it is not mature to fight the Li Dynasty, so he can only go in the direction of Mongolia." ”

This analysis is reasonable and convincing.

"If that's the case, then the Jingshi is in danger."

Fan Wencheng said worriedly: "It is impossible to cross the sea to help at this time from the place where our army is located. ”

As soon as winter begins, most of the ports in the north are unusable. There are very few ice-free ports, and it is necessary to transport tens of thousands of troops and supply how many ships it takes.

If you simply transport soldiers over, with the logistical foundation of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers would have to be hungry, and they would not be able to withstand it without fighting.

"Since we can't rescue directly, let's play a big ticket."

Yang Chengying said: "Go north with all your strength, capture Liaoyang and other big cities, and approach Shenyang, which was built." ”

Wai Wei to save Zhao?

"No!" Zu Dashou and Bao Chengxian were both opposed.

"The premise of encircling Wei to save Zhao is that 'Zhao' can resist it."

Zu Tianshou said: "The soldiers around the Beijing Division are not very good, and they are not able to fight at all. ”

Without "Zhao", what's the point of encircling "Wei".

You can't let the current emperor, the king of the Li Dynasty, go directly to Juehua Island.

"Today, the Holy One has just ascended the throne, and he suddenly encounters such a big change, and he must not be able to bear it in his heart."

Bao Chengxian said: "The main force of Jianyu is in Shenyang, if the emperor sends an edict to King Qin, and the commander does not take Liaoyang, he will face abandonment." If the marshal is not diligent to the king, what does the emperor think? What does the imperial court think? What does the princess think? ”

As soon as they said this, Yang Chengying really felt a headache.

Especially when the princess became pregnant under his hard work, there was "infidelity" at this time, which would affect the fetus.

It would be a pity to sit still and wait for the imperial court to issue an edict for rescue.

"Liaoyang is too close to Shenyang, Jianyu will fight back with all his might, and we will be contained."

Ning Wan also advised Yang Chengying not to think about fighting Liaoyang: "The most realistic way is to lead the army to the north, first take Haizhouwei and other places, and then build a city there and build a border fort." ”

"And then?"

With the strength of the Jinzhou Army, under the condition that Huang Taiji did not lead the main force to come, Yang Chengying confidently took Haizhou Weiru to explore the bag.

"We will go west and take the whole area, including the Quang Ninh area."

I proposed.

Yang Chengying stopped in front of the map and made a careful analysis of the map.

One of the most worrying situations is that Haizhou City will suffer the same fate as Jinzhou as besieged.

How to ensure the safety of Haizhou City under the premise that the army cannot fight a decisive battle with the main force of Houjin?

"Marshal, if you are worried that Haizhou will be lost, you have to send a reliable general to guard it."

Fan Wencheng seemed to be a roundworm in Yang Chengying's stomach, "My subordinates think that there is only one person who can undertake this task among the generals in the account." ”

"It's still gratifying!" Yang Chengying said.

Fan Wencheng nodded.

Shang Kexi has been the commander of Gaizhou Wei for some time.

The standard camp under his command has been training for a long time.

Moreover, he served as the commander of the Lin Zi battalion, and he was also very familiar with the artillery battalion, and he was indeed a general who could defend.

"Who can replace Shang Kexi as the commander of Gaizhou Guard?" Yang Chengying asked again.

The older ones have Sun Degong, but the ability of this benevolent brother needs to be improved.

Yang Cheng didn't expect much from him, and only begged him to give birth to Sun Sike quickly.

Those who went out early to command the army were Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde. But one commander of the navy and the other of the cavalry had no time to manage local affairs.

"Except for the commander, no one in the army can do it."

Zu Dashou said: "But the handsome man has a lot of opportunities, and he needs someone as an adjutant to handle daily affairs." After the end of the war, it is okay to let him officially serve as the commander of the Gaizhou Guard. ”

"Do you have the right person in mind?"

Yang Chengying hurriedly asked.

"There is indeed a suitable person for the subordinates."

Zu Dashou thought for a moment and said, "Zhang Cunren is fully qualified for this job. ”

Zhang Cunren commanded the leopard Tao battalion and has been fighting on the front line. Together with the other Dun troops, they either killed a few Houjin soldiers or plotted against the Han soldiers.

His exploits are indeed worthy of such a heavy responsibility.

Yang Chengying nodded and said, "Very good." In my opinion, let Liu Tianlu serve as the commander of the Guangning area, and Zhang Cunren as the commander of Gaizhou. As for the Leopard Tao Camp, let Jin Guochen bring it. ”

Everyone nodded, and they all thought it was appropriate.

After thinking of the right candidate, Yang Chengying's heart finally fell to the ground and began to organize and mobilize soldiers.

Due to the needs of the war, people have been constantly promoted and given the rank of general.

But the territory of Jinzhou Town is only so big, there are only so many soldiers, and there are not so many troops to bring them.

And in order to increase cohesion, let the generals get the satisfaction of success.

Yang Chengying followed the advice of Ning Wan and Fan Wencheng, and took advantage of the relatively stable external environment to carry out further reforms of the military system.

The personal guard army under his command was expanded again and renamed the guard office.

He is only responsible for close protection and vigilance, and occasionally goes into battle to kill the enemy, but does not go into battle as a direct unit.

In the final analysis, most of the people who serve as pro-soldiers are the children of official families whose parents want to have a good future, and they will go into battle at every turn, which will discourage them.

This is also not conducive to Yang Chengying looking for qualified people and assigning them to some positions that do not need to go into battle to kill the enemy.

The number was maintained at 600 people, and there were many children or relatives of the generals.

For example, Sun Degong's eldest son Youguang, Qi Dazhuang's son Qi Congrong, etc.

The officer in charge of the guard is called the leading guard, and Zu Zehong serves as the guard.

The matter of going into battle to kill the enemy will be handed over to the pro-military camp. The commander Wu Sangui and the deputy commander Hu Yousheng commanded 1,400 trained recruits.

The second battalion of water and fire was merged and renamed the Guardian Battalion. The Linzi Battalion was renamed the Firearms Battalion, the Shanzi Battalion was renamed the Forward Battalion, the Artillery Unit was renamed the Artillery Battalion, and the Fengzi Battalion was renamed the Xiaocai Battalion.

Recruits recruited in Zukofa and Bahana on Kashima were renamed the Jianrui Battalion.

These old systems, which were built on the basis of the health center system, have been swept into the dustbin of history.

All battalions have one metropolitan commander, two deputy commanders, infantry posts, artillery posts, service posts, cooking posts and other types.

Why are there special artillery posts?

For no other reason, there are enough artillery tubes!
