Shenzhou Medicine Master

Chapter 549 Planning!The comparison of power between Ming and Qing...

Li Shanjun, as the head of the Lishan tribe, is actually the leader of a martial arts clan such as Ding, and his cultivation level is no more than a martial arts master.

At this time, the owner of Lishan County was lying in front of Jiang Yao silently, not daring to raise his head.

Under his head, there is a man kneeling, who was the lord of Jiuxi Manor back then: Xiang Rang!

At that time, Xiangrang would be called Lord Xiangrang, who would decide the life and death of all the serfs in the area of ​​thousands of miles.

40 years ago, Jiang Yao was still a serf in his territory.

However, "Lord Xiang Rang" would never have thought that this high-ranking figure who could control his own life and death was the little serf in his manor back then.

If you know, I'm afraid it will scare him to death.

"You guys go down. From now on, Lishan County will be the land of Daming. Lishan Jun, do you have any objections?" Qin Yu's voice sounded faintly.

As for King Ming Jiang Yao, he didn't even raise his eyelids, completely treating the other party as air.

"Yes, yes! I will obey..." How dare Li Shanjun say a word?
Over the years, the prestige of ginger medicine and the strength of the Ming army have resounded throughout the world.He is only a small-scale lord, but in the eyes of King Ming, he is just an ant.

Accept your fate, there is still a way out.Resisting will immediately lead to death.

"Yeah." Qin Yu nodded indifferently, "You guys go down."

In a word, Lishan County belonged to Daming.

When Li Shanjun and the others retreated sweating profusely, Jiang Yao started his first military meeting after entering the southern region.

Deputy Marshal Qin Yu stood up first and said, "My lord, although our army claims to be 60, half of them are just recruits. It's okay to defend the city, but not to fight in the field."

"Compared to Long Muhuang, our army is still at a great disadvantage. From what I see, we should cross the river first, occupy Dacha City, and echo Yue Anshi and Li Luoer."

"Although the gods are in trouble in the Southern Region right now, they can only contain and disperse the Qing army. But in fact, our army should fight quickly, and the Qing army should fight late."

When everyone heard the words, they all nodded.

Now it seems that they must cross the river first, capture Dacha City, and control the strategic locations in the northern part of the Southern Region.

Otherwise, the Ming army was short of troops and the rear was unstable, and it would be difficult to take advantage of the Qing army, which was strong in combat power and had a numerical advantage.

According to intelligence, the Qing army did not count the 30 reinforcements that had not arrived in the southern region, but the number of soldiers and horses already in the southern region amounted to a million.

The army of more than [-] troops that Long Muhuang brought to fight was just mobile soldiers and horses.

What's even more troublesome is that all the soldiers of the Qing army have cultivation bases above the third level!

"The Qing army is indeed powerful." Jiang Yao's expression also became solemn, "They have sent hundreds of thousands of reinforcements. Our army must eat the main force of Long Muhuang before the Qing army's reinforcements arrive!"

"Zizhou is right, our plan is indeed about to change."

The original plan was to use the anti-Qing rebels all over the place to consume the Qing army's combat power, so that the Qing army would sink deeper and deeper, and then the Ming army would look for an opportunity to fight decisively.

The strategy adopted was to exhaust the Qing army, besiege the Qing army, and annihilate the Qing army in one fell swoop with the cooperation of the vast anti-Qing rebel army.

But now it seems that the Qing army is too strong, and its determination to annex the Southern Region is too great. The reinforcements have been continuously imported into the Southern Region, but they are not afraid of procrastinating.

On the contrary, the Ming army wanted to make a quick decision.

"My lord's words are very true." General Li Yang said, "It's what I worry about, but it's the Qing army that has a superior force but insists on not fighting."

Jin Yiwei Commander Xi Shan also said: "My lord, Long Muhuang has always been cautious in using troops. Even if she has the superior force, she must be steady."

"I guess, according to her temperament, she may delay not fighting and use blocking words. As long as it delays for a month or two, our army will be passive."

Although the great uprising launched by the Divine Sect and the Jinyiwei was massive, well-organized, and there were many powerful divine cultists involved, how could it be that it was really an opponent of the Qing army?

No matter how many righteous men there are from poor families, there is no military formation, and final failure is inevitable.

Although the military lords and Qing soldiers who were instigated to rebel were regular troops capable of cohesively fighting in the field, they were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers.

Therefore, Xishan's Jinyiwei estimated that the anti-Qing uprising that swept across the southern regions could only last for two months at most.

For two months, hundreds of thousands of reinforcements from the Qing army also climbed to the southern region.

Then Jin Yiwei's analysis conclusion is:

Within two months, if the Ming army could not gain a strategic advantage, they would have to abandon the southern region and obediently retreat to the western region, watching the southern region fall into the hands of the Qing army.

"Two months!" Jiang Yao slapped the table and said, "Within two months, no, it should be within one and a half months, our army must destroy Long Muhuang's main force!"

"Otherwise, our army would have no chance."

The so-called know yourself and know each other.Why is it hard to fight?This requires a calculation of the strength comparison between the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

This comparison, the kings and ministers of the Ming Dynasty knew it well!

There are 76 states in the Qing Dynasty, accounting for [-]% of the territory of Wuyu, and the population and resources are five or six times that of the Ming Dynasty!
In addition, Jiang Zhengyi, the lord of the Qing Dynasty, had no bottom line to collude with Hai Liao, blood clan, secluded marriage, and his military strength was far superior to that of the Ming army.

When the number of soldiers was the largest in the past few years, the number of Qing troops was as high as tens of millions!
With such a strong capital, the Qing court eliminated the second-level soldiers and horses earlier than the Ming Dynasty, and now the third-level soldiers and horses are the main force.

Although the second-level soldiers and horses were all eliminated and the number of soldiers dropped sharply, the combat power of the Qing army increased instead.

Today, there are 400 million third-level soldiers and horses in the Qing army, but half of them are sea beasts, ghosts, and blood demons!The real Eight Banners Qing army is only around 200 million.

This is not counted, the Qing army still has 30 fourth-level soldiers and horses (Wu Zhen).Of course, the real Qing army only accounted for half, and the other half was reinforcements from Hai Liao and other three tribes.

With such a powerful military force, it is no wonder that while fighting against the Chu State, it was still able to draw out the army to attack the Southern Region and fight two major battles at the same time.

On the other hand, the Ming army was much poorer.

The resource population of the Ming Dynasty is only a fraction of that of the Qing Dynasty, and it is the country with the smallest territory and the smallest population among all the countries.

Although the Ming Kingdom has undergone political reforms and its strength has skyrocketed in recent years, it has only been five years since the Ming Kingdom unified the Western Regions!
In just five years of reform, the power of many places has not yet exploded, and it will take at least five years.

And five years ago, the Ming Kingdom, which had not yet unified the Western Regions, was a small country that only occupied one state in the Western Regions!

What about the Qing Dynasty?It has been occupying half of the Wuyu for 30 to [-] years. It has already integrated the power of the nobles in the Wuyu and gained their support.

In Jiang Yao's eyes, the current comprehensive strength gap between the Ming and Qing Dynasties is even greater than the gap between Shu Han and Cao Wei!
If there is no Chu State, Ming's Southern Expedition will only be more difficult than Wuhou's Northern Expedition.

So, what is the family background of the Ming army now?
This shows that the army's southern expedition is almost all the main force, and the so-called 60 Wuzong army sounds a little scary.However, all the soldiers of the Ming army knew that this number was actually very low.

That's right, the Southern Expedition's army is indeed 60, and the soldiers are indeed Wuzong (level three) and above, and there are [-] Wuzhen (level four) troops among them.

But in fact, there are only 30 elite veterans, including the Ghost Army of the Ghost Daoist and the Monster Beast Army of Qin Que.

The remaining 30 are all new troops!
The average cultivation of these new troops is not low, and the soldiers are all Wuzong, and their fighting spirit and loyalty are very high.But they didn't have enough training time, and their combat power was too poor.

At least three years of training in the military field is required to be considered elite.

This is still barely able to go to the battlefield, at least it has been trained for a few years, and it can be used as an auxiliary soldier.

There are still hundreds of thousands of Wu Zong's new army in the Ming Dynasty who are undergoing hard training in full swing, but they have just been formed, and they can't even serve as auxiliary soldiers. They are completely rookies.

To let them go to the battlefield is to let them die and send their heads to the Qing army.

As for the large number of eliminated second-level soldiers, they are now used as patrols to arrest Xiangyong and maintain law and order.There is also Tianhuanghe's aircraft carrier fleet and aircraft fleet. Although they are large in scale, they cannot be used for southern expeditions.

After all the calculations, there is only so much money.

Therefore, although the Southern Expedition Army has 60 troops, its real combat power will be greatly discounted.

The mobile Qing army under Long Muhuang also has 60 troops.But according to intelligence, the 60 Qing troops were all elites who had fought against the Chu army for many years.

The two yellow flags, the two blue flags, and the inlaid white flag have all taken away part of the main force, and there are still a large number of sea hunters, blood demon soldiers, and ghost soldiers.

They are all veterans who are familiar with the battlefield, and there are no new troops.

Among them, there are [-] to [-] fourth-level soldiers (Wu Zhen) alone!There are as many as five or six thousand fifth-level soldiers (Valkyrie)!

The Ming army also has 60 soldiers, only 3000 fourth-level soldiers, and only [-] fifth-level soldiers.

The generals repeatedly calculated and combined various factors of the enemy and us, and came to the conclusion that although it was 60 versus 60, the actual combat power of the Ming army was at most only [-]% of that of the Qing army.

No more.

This has fully taken into account the fact that the morale of the Ming army is higher and the fighting spirit is stronger.

Even with an optimistic assessment, the actual combat power is only [-]% of Long Muhuang's.

And this kind of comparison is only comparing the 60 mobile Qing army under Long Muhuang's command, not the Qing army in the entire southern region.

You must know that there are as many as 100 million Qing troops in the entire southern region, not including the hundreds of thousands of martial arts soldiers who surrendered to the Qing!

Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of Qing army reinforcements that have already set off from the Qing Dynasty!
However, the main force of the Ming Dynasty has been exhausted, and it is difficult to have reinforcements.

With such a calculation, it is clear how to fight the battle.

Can't drag.

The longer the delay, the greater the advantage of the Qing army!

Jiang Yao stood up, walked to the huge map of the southern region, and pointed out the location of the Ming army.

Northwest of the Southern Territory, Fanzhou, Lishan County.

"Yunong, where is Long Muhuang probably?" Jiang Yao asked.

Xi Shan stood up and pointed at the Modao Gorge in Xizhou in the middle of the southern region, "Master Hui, Long Muhuang is in Xizhou at this time, and has not yet crossed the Modao Gorge."

He flicked his finger to the west, "According to the latest information, she should have gone to Lishui Pass."

Everyone can see clearly.

The distance between the enemy and ourselves is about 130 million miles.

If both sides have the intention of a decisive battle and march against each other, they can meet within ten days.

However, judging from Long Muhuang's marching route, she is going to cross the Modao Gorge and occupy the Weishui Pass.

If she had the intention of a decisive battle at this time, she would definitely not take a detour to Lishui.

Obviously, she was trying to stop the Ming army.

She clearly has a considerable advantage in military strength and combat power, but she still wants to avoid a decisive battle.

He is indeed a cautious person.

This kind of person is actually very difficult to deal with.Because this kind of person will never be greedy for success and seek victory. Without sufficient confidence, he must first seek stability and remain invincible.

Jiang Yao, Qin Yu and the others frowned.

Opponents like Long Muhuang are very annoying.

"The widow has already sent Li Luo'er, Li Xi, and Yue Anshi three people via Feixun. I hope they will cooperate and help our army cross the Shui River first."

Jiang Yao pointed to the location of the Raishui Pass, "If Long Muhuang seizes the Raishui Pass first, our army will be blocked to the north of the Raishui and to the west of Viper Mountain."

"In this way, the Qing army is equivalent to locking our army in a corner of Fanzhou and delaying the fight. When the uprising is suppressed and reinforcements are received, they will be able to free up their hands and concentrate on attacking with the momentum of a mountain."

"At that time, the strength of the two sides will be very different, and our army will undoubtedly be defeated."

The situation is clear.The Ming army occupied the Luishui Pass, so they could only win the initiative in the decisive battle, but it was still a big unknown if they wanted to win the decisive battle.

However, if the Qing army occupied the Luishui Pass, the Ming army would be completely passive, and the best choice was to return to the Western Regions as soon as possible.

In whose hands is the water now held?

In the hands of the nobleman Yin of the Wu family.

The Yin family is one of the eight first-class powerful feudal clans in the southern region, and has always been relatively strong because it occupies the most important mountain and water passages of Lishui and Viper Mountain.

Among the thousands of martial arts clans in the Southern Region, Yin's strength can be ranked in the top five. He is a real little bully in the Southern Region and cannot be underestimated.

In fact, the Yin family has changed flags and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but did not participate in the formation of the anti-Ming anti-revolutionary army. It is said that they are waiting for a price and are not satisfied with the conditions of the Qing army.

Because the territory is located in the northwest of the Southern Territory, it is relatively remote, so the Yin family has not participated in the anti-Qing war before, and it seems that it has nothing to do with themselves.

The Lushui Pass is very important, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and has been guarded by the Yin clan with heavy troops.Although the Yin Clan has Jinyiwei spies, they can only spy on information, and cannot earn money from the Shuiguan.

Duanmu Hongdao looked solemn, "My lord, the key to the first battle is indeed to seize the water pass."

"But the Weishui Pass is in the hands of the Yin clan. Even if our army reaches the Ruoshui Pass first, we still have to attack with all our strength. After all, it is very difficult for our army to be the first."

Jiang Yao smiled, "We have already made plans for this battle. If Long Muhuang wants to occupy the Weishui Pass, let her occupy it."

"Could it be that we can't fight a decisive battle at Lishui Pass? Why don't our army follow the plan and do the opposite?"

"Hmph, if she wants to occupy Lishui Pass and delay the fight, then the widow will simply use Lishui Pass as the battlefield and fight decisively!"

Everyone looked condensed.

What?Just follow the plan, and just fight at the Lishui Pass?
This...how is this possible?

Waishuiguan is a southern domain pass, which is notoriously easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The Qing army already had a great advantage, and with the giant formation of Xiongguan in hand, our army is going to attack and fight decisively under such disadvantages?

However, the lord must have other meanings.

Qin Yu clapped his palms and said with a smile: "My lord's trick, it's really interlocking, I'm ashamed of myself."

Xi Shan also understood, and immediately said: "My lord, don't worry, I can handle it!"

The others looked at each other in blank dismay. They looked at the map of the Lishuiguan area, and they all reacted immediately.

High, it is high!

In this way, he was afraid that Long Muhuang would not come.

Just after Jiang Yao concluded the military discussion, Long Muhuang, the general of the Qing army who was conquering the North, who was more than a million miles away, had already led his army across the Modao Gorge.

The Qing army finally entered the west of the Southern Region.

More than 60 troops lined up in a three-dimensional formation, overwhelming the sky and covering the earth. Wherever they went, the poor monks fled one after another.

The Qing army was of low cultivation, and they rode top-grade ten thousand-li horses.Those with high cultivation levels can ride spaceships and birds.

On the ground, at low altitudes, and at high altitudes, there are large armies.

In the majestic momentum, there is a kind of bloodthirsty killing intent.

Ferocious, vicious, bloody, violent, cruel, and cruel aura filled the world.

"General, the sea hunters and blood demon soldiers in the army left the formation again and went out to loot."

One came to tell the Lord.

Long Muhuang looked indifferent, although his eyes showed disgust, he still said:

"Let them go. The emperor said, they are also Qing warriors, don't wrong them."

"As long as they serve the Qing Dynasty, they can do anything. They are still very capable in fighting, and they are still strong soldiers. Don't worry about it. If you manage too much, their combat power will decrease instead."

Long Muhuang's words were not wrong.The reason why the barbarians are powerful is indeed related to their own barbarism.

When Long Muhuang said this, the spiritual consciousness of the Great Sage was also swept away.

In the spiritual consciousness, countless women who had no time to escape were caught by sea hunters and blood demons, and were pinned to the ground on the spot... or were eaten or sucked dry of blood.

Almost all the humble cave houses of the poor families were destroyed.

There are corpses, blood, roars, screams, and laughter everywhere.

The Sea Hunters and the Blood Demon Soldiers are in teams of one hundred, or even ten, and they are unscrupulous.

Although the monks from poor families all have cultivation bases, due to long-term lack of resources, the average cultivation base is relatively low, and there is no army battle field, how can they resist?
On the contrary, the nobles and lords of the Wu family have nothing to do.Because they have already surrendered, and they have soldiers and horses, and they have a strict formation.

This is enough to protect them.

It's miserable for a poor family.

Long Muhuangzhi took a look, then withdrew his consciousness.

His eyes were expressionless.

For the hegemony of the Qing Dynasty, and for the king's map of the emperor, all these are worth it.

The monks in the southern regions were miserable, but the Qing Dynasty could not do without the support of these barbarian soldiers.

"Pass down the order of the general of the palace." Long Muhuang said, "Tell the sea dragon warriors and the blood demon warriors not to leave the corpses of monks. Especially the naked corpses of women must be burned."

"Otherwise, letting other people see it will cause more resistance, and they will hate Daqing even more. Do you understand?"

It stands to reason that she is also a woman, and she should have reacted to seeing so many women being raped and killed.

At least not indifferent.

But Long Muhuang turned a blind eye and downplayed it.

She does intend to attract the hearts of the people in the southern region, eliminate resistance, and stabilize the situation as soon as possible.

But in her eyes, the hearts of the people are the hearts of the nobility of the Wu family, the hearts of the lords, not the poor.

The hearts of the people from a poor family are not worth her to solicit at all.Because that will never be recruited.Unless, like ginger medicine, there is a reform.

is it possible?impossible.

Following Long Muhuang's military order, the brutal behavior of Hai Liao and the blood clan still did not stop, but there was an additional procedure to deal with the corpses.

It was so outrageous that even the soldiers of the Wu tribe in the Qing army couldn't stand it.

Many soldiers did not understand why the Qing Dynasty asked these barbarians for help.

The mighty Qing army just created terror all the way and headed in the direction of Lishui Pass.

The poor monks who heard the wind and fled could only flee to the mountains.

Many people looked to the north and shouted loudly: "Ming Wang has arrived! I will wait for my revenge!"

Some even shouted: "If Daming is not victorious, we can only go to the Western Regions with King Ming!"

PS: This chapter talks about the military comparison between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but it is actually an account that must be accounted for.Don't worry, the fight will start tomorrow!To be honest, this battle is not easy to fight.Crab, good night.
