Chapter 578 The Great War Begins ([-])
On August 1646, 10, South Changshan Island.

Xu Chuanxing looked at Yue Zhongwu's staring blood-red eyes, and his usually gentle and gentle face was also full of ferocity, he couldn't help but laughed back angrily.

"You bastard, you really have the guts! You want to compete with our king of Qi for a woman. What's the matter, if I say that I can't make a request to the governor, do you dare to break into the princess's palace in the middle of the night and kill your lover?" They were taken captive, and then they eloped to sea together!"

"Battle Commander, that's what I think!" Yue Zhongwu twisted and said, "Although Miss Ziying and I are not married, I already regard her as my wife. If the king..., the king insists on separating us, I must take Ziying away and elope with her!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Company Commander Lu Bingyan slapped Yue Zhongwu aside, then turned his head and said to Xu Chuanxing with a smile, "Battle Commander, don't listen to his nonsense. He's just talking out of anger. Words can’t be taken seriously.”

"I didn't say anything angry....I just want to take Ziying away!" Yue Zhongwu knew that the company commander was speaking for him, and the army of founding slaves was about to attack. This time can be regarded as a state of war, and he wanted to elope with Ziying , is tantamount to fleeing the battle, and will be executed by military law.

"Bastard, you're doing this for a woman, you don't even want your life!" Lu Bingyan kicked Yue Zhongwu angrily, kicking Yue Zhongwu to the ground.

"I served as a soldier to fight for the Qi State. I just wanted to live a good life and marry a wife! Now, the daughter-in-law will be dedicated to King Qi along with the princess. What's the point of my desperate efforts?" Yue Zhongwu roared.

"Tomorrow, the Son of Heaven presents the Princess to the King of Qi, not to mention whether the King knows about it. Even if the Princess and your Ziying girl are accepted, are you still going to hate our King for this?" Xu Chuanxing asked coldly.

"..." Yue Zhongwu was stunned, and then he realized that although King Qi was benign, he was still the Lord of Hanzhou, a king whose hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians could decide life and death with a single word.Moreover, speaking of it, if he, Yue Zhongwu, hadn't been brought to Hanzhou by the Hanzhou immigrant ship, he might have died of cold and starvation like so many hungry people in Daming territory, with no bones left.

But for his beloved to leave right now, or to become a woman in the harem of King Qi, he still felt so much pain that he couldn't live without tears. For a while, tears poured down like rain, and he sobbed in a low voice.

"You bastard, look at your prospects!" Xu Chuanxing cursed, then turned and left the barracks, and walked straight to the commander's mansion on the island.

"Howl!" Lu Bingyan said angrily, "It's just a woman. If you want, there are homeless women everywhere in Denglai. You can choose."

Yue Zhongwu was still heartbroken, with tears and snot all over his face.

"Okay! Didn't you see the battalion commander looking for the governor?" Lu Bingyan raised his foot and kicked Yue Zhongwu lightly, "Maybe I got your Ziying girl here."

"Really?" Yue Zhongwu looked at Lu Bingyan in surprise.

"Maybe the governor is unwilling."

"The governor will definitely make the decision for me."

The governor of the Qi State Navy was not on Changshan Island, but took a group of officers and staff to the Xingyuan of Emperor Yongchu in Penglai County, that is, the former Denglai Governor's Yamen, and held the last military meeting with various ministries of the Ming Army, emphasizing peace. Implement the specific combat deployments of the various ministries of the Ming Army, the Qi State Marine Corps, and the Self-Salvation Army to deal with the attack of the slave-building army.

"According to the collection of information from all parties, Jiannu has mobilized more than 12 troops from all walks of life to attack Denglai. Among them, the main force of the Eight Banners should be between [-] and [-]. It can be said that the attack is menacing and powerful." He Yunfeng took Pointing to a wooden pole, he pointed to a simulated terrain sand table in Shandong that took half a month to build. "Constrained by the topography of Shandong and Denglai, the army of more than [-] Jiannu will definitely not be concentrated on one road and pushed to Denglai."

"We roughly estimate that the attack route of Jiannu may be divided into several routes, mainly along the narrow plains and valleys on the north and south sides, and divide the troops to Denglai. counties and Changyi, advancing to Ye County (now Laizhou City, Shandong Province). Among them, it is not ruled out that after Changyi, the Jiannu Society will divide a group of troops to attack Pingdu Prefecture, attack Laiyang, and attack Zhaoyuan through mountain valley roads. The back road of Duanye County, or enter Huang County (now Longkou City, Shandong Province).”

"On the South Road, Jiannu will use Linyi as the starting point to attack Juzhou (now Juxian County, Shandong Province) and Jiaozhou, and then attack Laiyang, Qixia, and Penglai. Of course, with the strong strength of Jiannu, they may split a road Partial division, plundering Rushan and Wendeng, and attacking our Denglai back road, causing our army to lose ground in front and back, care about one and lose the other."

After finishing speaking, He Yunfeng first nodded to Emperor Yongchu who was in the center, and then looked at the generals of the Ming army standing around the sand table, waiting for them to ask questions.

Liu Zeqing's face was pale, and he looked a little nervous, his eyes fixed on the huge sand table, his brows were frowned, and he said nothing.

On the other hand, Li Benshen was indifferent. He went to Liaodong once and slaughtered so many slaves, including royal family and nobles.

Yongning Hou and Jiang Yongrui, the commander-in-chief of Denglai Town, are eager to try. In the past month, in order to deal with Jiannu's revenge, the whole of Denglai has been making pre-war preparations. The rear has also used countless manpower and material resources to continuously strengthen the city defenses at key points, and built countless fortresses, which is bound to treat Denglai as a cemetery for slaves.

"Since you have no other questions, let me emphasize and implement the military deployments of the various ministries here." After He Yunfeng bowed his hands to Emperor Yongchu again, he pointed to the sand table with a wooden pole, "Northern Road, we will give up Changle, Weiwei Counties and Changyi, retreat to the east bank of the Weihe River, and guard by the river. If Jiannu bypasses Anqiu on the upper reaches of the Weihe River, they will continue to retreat to the line between Pingdu Prefecture and Shahe, and block Jiannu's advance in turn."

"On the South Road, Yishui, Juzhou, and Zhucheng will be abandoned, and Jiaozhou and Gaomi will be defended. If the slaves attack Pingdu, they will retreat to Jimo and Laiyang, resisting one by one, and delay the slaves to advance quickly."

"When you are responding to the onslaught of the Jiannu army, you don't need to stick to the points you just pointed out, but you should fight as much as possible to occupy the city, killing and injuring Jiannu in large numbers, consuming Jiannu's vitality, and slowing down their attack speed. Jiannu Ten There are more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, and the advantage is to fight quickly. If our army can drag the whole battle for more than a month, the Jiannu will eventually have to retreat due to insufficient supplies."

"In addition, in Shandong and Denglai, there are the following key points, which must be guarded. Even if the people are wiped out, they must not take a step back. Ye County, Rizhao, Zhaoyuan, Qixia, Wendeng, and Ninghai Prefecture, some of these points are by the sea. You can rely on the back road to attack Jiannu, and there are some barriers to protect Penglai, and there is no room for loss."

Hearing this, Liu Zeqing breathed a sigh of relief. He has nearly [-] people under his command and is stationed in Juzhou, Yizhou (near Linyi City, Shandong Province), Haizhou and other places. Jiannu fights to the death, so he can retain some strength.

On the other hand, Li Benshen's army not only has only [-] troops, but also defends Rizhao. It is estimated that under the turbulent attack of Jiannu, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Maybe after this battle, all the capital in his hand will be wiped out.Oh, Marquis of Yong'an?With no soldiers in hand, where did Yong'an come from!
"After this battle, we estimate that Jiannu will not be able to organize a large-scale offensive against Denglai for a long time to come. Of course, the premise is that we can beat Jiannu in this battle and let them I feel that Denglai cannot be defeated and occupied." He Yunfeng solemnly glanced around at the generals of the Ming army present, "Moreover, if this battle can be forced to retreat and establish slaves as we expected, there will be a kind of war in the entire Ming Dynasty. An unprecedented new situation."

"All the people and gentry in all parts of Ming Dynasty who are unwilling to submit to Jiannu rule will clearly realize that Jiannu is not invincible. Not only can they not defeat me in Denglai on the frontal battlefield, but they can't guarantee the safety of their old lair in Liaodong At the same time, those generals at the two ends of the first mouse who established slaves and surrendered will have to reconsider their choices and positions. Commitment to slavery, shaving their hair and changing clothes, or rising up to resist and reshape Ming Dynasty, the choice between the two must be those who Those who surrendered to build slaves will evaluate and think again in their hearts."

"In this battle, I will always live in Penglai City, and I will not retreat to the sea until I die." Emperor Yongchu said solemnly: "Building slaves wants to destroy my Ming Dynasty, and the barbarians want to shave my hundreds of millions of people. Changing clothes, abandoning the thousand-year-old civilization of our Han family, and abandoning our Chinese tradition. Here, I swear to fight to the death with all the generals, and never make peace, until finally I restore my great Ming Dynasty!"
