The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 398 Annihilation in one fell swoop

The former army has arrived in Liaoyang.

The army marched slowly and rested in Gaizhou.

Feng Shengzhi and Gu Yingshi sit in Jinzhou, organize the people's livelihood of the local government, ensure the continued development of the local area, and supply the army with supplies.

The main officials of the military division, except Wang Xuan stayed in Jinzhou, Xie Youcheng and Xu Hui followed the general to accept and handle various matters.

The Jinjiang Army has [-] regular soldiers.

One hundred thousand soldiers who do not participate in farming and only focus on warfare are the confidence of Jinjiang Town and the support that Jinjiang Town does not change face in the face of all provocations.

Everyone's thinking is different, and officials who have adapted to the guard system often express doubts.

Even so far.

The army has already traveled, and the officials of the military division have suggested that they think it is the right way.

These people have good intentions.

Only when we are concerned and responsible will we have doubts and will take the initiative to raise them.

Tang Qing'an didn't want to continue explaining. After much deliberation, in order to avoid affecting the battle, he still recruited Xie Youcheng and Xu Hui.

"Some people think that we have 500 million people, and soldiers from all over the country organize training for young adults every year.

The militia should be thrown into the war to reduce the casualties of the soldiers. How do you two view this matter? "

Tang Qing'an asked with a smile.

He had to listen to the thoughts of the two military commanders before deciding how to speak.

Xu Hui knew that the general was not the one to commit crimes because of his words, and he also had doubts in his heart, so he took the initiative to speak first, which was considered to be the way for Zuo Sima.

"Bingbei Dao usually trains once a year, or twice a year, and a lot of manpower and material resources are invested. Zhengbing has rich combat experience and is a precious asset.

That being the case.

Adding the militia to the battlefield, whether it is the former or the latter, can benefit both. "

Tang Qing'an nodded, and then said.

"Although the militiamen have undergone simple training, they will cause a lot of casualties when they are put into the battlefield.

But regular soldiers are precious, and more militia casualties are used to reduce casualties of regular soldiers.

So these officials started from this point of view, so is the idea they put forward? "

Although the words are harsh, the truth remains the same.

Xu Hui didn't care about his feathers for the sake of fame, but insisted on speaking.

"For example, in a siege battle, when the casualties are the greatest, the militia can be deployed to assist the main soldiers in combat and reduce the casualties of the main soldiers."

Jinjiang is a town, but it takes the initiative to explore.

Jeju Island Maritime Trade has contacts with businessmen from various countries, and has a clearer view of the world situation than domestic officials.

Xu Hui continued.

"Our domestic guards and generals' servants, the serf soldiers of Tsarist Russia, and Japanese samurai and ashigaru.

They all do this, but our Jinjiang Town is dominated by regular soldiers, responsible for all battles, and the casualties are not small.

I think this should be carefully considered. "

After listening to Xu Hui's words, Tang Qing'an looked at Xie Youcheng.

Xie Youcheng smiled wryly.

"I'm not talented enough to know which way is better."

Just according to his own mind, Xie Youcheng agreed with Xu Hui's remarks, but he has followed the general for many years.

From nothing to something, from weak to strong.

The general established Jinjiang Town single-handedly, and it has developed to the present power. Xie Youcheng dare not judge the general's idea lightly.

see.

Tang Qing'an stopped asking, but carefully persuaded the two of them.

"I have already made up my mind about the two, but the people below can't understand, so they keep talking.

Whether it is domestic or foreign, the mainstream approach is the latter, using more casualties of auxiliary soldiers to reduce the casualties of a small number of elite soldiers.

The reason for this is that people think that a large population will be a burden, and they do not regard population as wealth.

Just like the Japan mentioned by Xu Zhangshu just now.

When the population of each big name's territory increases, there will often be a tacit understanding between the two big names, and there will be wars in the wild.

It is not for the purpose of siege of cities and land, it is used to consume population and maintain internal stability.

and so.

For those who don't understand, I know they are worried that the consumption of veterans will reduce the combat power of the Jin Jiang army.

Minzhuang is cheap and available everywhere.

After all, I still retain the traditional stubborn paranoid thinking in my heart.

However, we have established military schools, set up military preparation roads in various places, and each battalion uses the old to lead the new, etc., under many means.

Isn't it just for prevention? "

After Tang Qing'an finished speaking, Xie Youcheng and Xu Hui fell into deep thought.

Although the general explained carefully.

But the final result of the business development, no one can judge the pros and cons in advance.

The former has the pros and cons of the former, and the latter has the pros and cons of the latter.

And the latter's thinking has never been cut off, and it has been mentioned repeatedly, because the latter is the norm, and the former is rare.

Only according to the latter, the Jinjiang Army has been able to remain invincible.

As for the former mentioned by the general, no one knows what will happen, whether it will be better or worse. In short, it poses a great risk to the status quo.

Tang Qing'an looked at the two chief officers of the military division in front of him. Even they couldn't keep up with his thoughts, so he could only sigh inwardly.

A person's cognition comes from his knowledge.

Whether it is a matter of fantasy or dreaming, it is born out of what he has seen and heard.

It is difficult for outsiders to explain the difference in cognition, even if Tang Qing'an, Feng Shengzhi and others have mentioned that the earth is round many times.

Like the scientists of later generations, some people finally lamented the existence of God.

Therefore, even people who have been educated for many years believe that God exists.

But the God that scientists talk about is not the anthropomorphic God in these people's minds, but an invisible, untouchable rule and so on.

Because scientists can't study thoroughly and can't even touch the door, they feel desperate and cry out, making such a metaphor.

It has nothing to do with the anthropomorphic God that people talk about.

After pondering.

Tang Qing'an was going to use the gains and losses to convince the two of them, instead of just talking about ideas.

"The daimyo of Japan used the method of war to consume the population to solve the population growth, so as not to fall into the situation of food shortage.

Our country is more civilized, and we adopt the method of reclaiming acres of land and increasing grain production.

For example, in the pre-Ming Dynasty, the common people were repeatedly organized to immigrate the common people and increase the number of acres in areas that could still be developed. Ming records can often be seen.

The same is true for Da Zhou inheriting Da Ming.

But our race has experienced thousands of years of expansion, and the fertile land that can be used has reached the extreme.

In the Northern Song Dynasty.

There are still many places in the south that are forests and swamps, including Huguang, parts of Zhejiang and so on.

It is recorded that mosquitoes are poisonous and snakes, and miasma kills people invisible.

in such a difficult situation.

For example, the people of Fujian ruled Fujian, the multiplication of population, the felling of forests, and the development of acres of land made miasma, an ancient recorded word, gradually disappear from people's mouths.

The current big week.

The most south, the north, the west and the east.

The land has been developed to the extreme.

There are grasslands and deserts in the north, plateaus in the west, Annan in the south, dense forests everywhere, making it even more difficult to travel, and the sea in the east.

In the early Ming Dynasty, some corners could be found to organize the people to reclaim the land, but in our Great Zhou Dynasty, even the corners could not be found. "

Tang Qing'an laughed.

Feng Shengzhi and Xu Hui also laughed.

The atmosphere gradually became harmonious, Tang Qing'an continued to laugh.

"The land of Liaodong and the land of Nuer Gansi are as wide as the distance from Mohe to Lushun, which is equivalent to the distance from Lushun to Dayuan Island.

I think that with our efforts, we have invested a lot of materials, built water conservancy projects, and organized people to open up wasteland and cultivate fields.

Jinjiang Town.

In the end, at least 2000 million people can be fed. If only 1000 million people immigrate from China, why worry about the source of troops? "

With the sea trade in Jeju Island, and the former Jinjiang Army sailors immigrating to Fujian, several people can understand this explanation.

As for reclaiming acres of land.

No one will continue to doubt Jin Jiang Town's traditional skills after eight years.

"The common people cultivate the land, support the government and the army, participate in civilian training, and provide a steady stream of supplements for the army.

The army opens up new land, and the government organizes the people to reclaim it. This is the best policy, and the life will continue. "

Tang Qing'an laughed.

The plan in his mind is of course not to feed 2000 million people in Liaodong, even if he could, he would not do so.

But now, mentioning the New World to everyone, with a distance of [-] miles by sea, it is difficult to convince everyone.

Unlike people in China, Tang Qing'an has a deeper understanding of the planet under his feet.

There are many, many lands that can provide ethnic reproduction and development.

Then the people are very important.

Many countries in the West and many tribes in the Americas have an epoch-making generational difference in terms of tools.

It still took hundreds of years to half-develop the Americas.

Because the population of Western countries is small, they can only be swallowed up gradually. Even if countless Indians are wiped out, they still do not occupy all of America.

But Big Week is different.

When Da Zhou embarks on the road of emigrating to the ocean, it will only take a short time to spread all over the world and form an unshakable dominant position.

Whether it is Spain, Portugal, or Britain, etc., they are small in number and can only rule and colonize by killing.

But Dazhou would not, because Dazhou had a large population and was not worried about the shake of its rule.

Just like the chieftain system in Dazhou, it is to delegate power to the native officials to manage their own tribes.

As long as there is no chaos, more supplies will be given instead.

However, the current population of the people in Dazhou is far from satisfying Tang Qing'an.

How could he embark on the path of peasants and soldiers.

Because in his eyes, people are not consumables, but precious wealth that cannot be obtained quickly, and are as precious as regular soldiers.

"As for worrying about the casualties of the soldiers, the correct way should be that the officials pay attention to supplies, the generals are good at fighting, and the military commanders work hard to coordinate. This is the right way.

And it is a surefire strategy to have friendly troops to assist in the battle. "

Tang Qing'an finally said.

From the time of life, the competition between living things also began, and will always exist.

People have developed from tribes to nations, and this competition is called war.

war.

always.

whenever.

internal, external.

Peace is precious, and only those who have the ability to organize wars can achieve peace and the opportunity to reason.

After experiencing the edification of later generations, as well as the information explosion, and looking at the history of the world, you can see the essence of war.

Among the Chinese army, Marquis of Ping Liao Tang Qing'an never gave up the means of force from crossing to the Great Zhou.

The ancients thousands of years ago knew how to connect horizontally and vertically, and of course Tang Qing'an also understood.

North Korea is weak.

Form an alliance with Jinjiang Town and obtain protection, so that there will be peace in the country, and the people will have an environment to cultivate their health and rest.

Just like the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was weak and was not protected at the beginning, it is now being invaded and bullied by the Satsuma Domain.

The people in the protected vassal state are still suffering, but it is not the fault of Jinjiang Town, but the reason for the decay of the two groups in the country.

It is their own reasons, not external reasons, let alone allies.

and so.

As a vassal state that benefits from Jinjiang Town's allies, of course it has to pay reciprocal obligations, send troops to help fight, and provide supplies and so on.

"When it comes time to siege, allied armies will join in."

Tang Qing'an laughed.

That being the case, Xie Youcheng and Xu Hui no longer have to worry.

The army of the vassal state can be used to assist in the siege of the city.

Zhenjiang.

The North Korean armies continued to arrive from afar, and Chen Kaiwu led [-] soldiers of the Jinjiang Army to receive the coalition forces.

According to the good performance of the Korean army last time, the military commander believed that the army of the vassal state could stand alone.

Take on more roles, not just be reduced to the use of civilian husbands.

Shen Xu, an old acquaintance, came to Zhenjiang ahead of schedule to coordinate with Chen Kaiwu.

The far-flung supply of materials provided by North Korea was piled up like a mountain under the transport of civilian husbands, and the warehouse could not be entered.

Lin Zhiyuan was the first to arrive in Zhenjiang, and his army included the Black Nine Division with 29 guards and [-] horses.

Starting in the morning, they crossed the Yalu River in batches, and did not enter Zhenjiang until the afternoon.

The Korean Guards Army who entered the Zhenjiang Army had strict orders and would not offend the local government.

Day two.

In the first part of Dashan, with [-] guards and [-] horses, they crossed the Yalu River and entered Zhenjiang.

Years of war.

Every time he participated in the battle, when Dashan came to Zhenjiang, new changes would take place here.

There are more and more acres, more and more houses, more and more children, fewer and fewer shantytowns, and less and less food on people's faces.

As an outsider, Dashan's feelings are deeper than those of Liao people.

"A lot of our North Korean women."

The soldiers under Dashan showed envious expressions.

On the way of marching, on both sides of the road, villages appeared from time to time, and the people in the villages were in the surrounding fields.

Many women are still wearing clothes brought from China, which can be recognized at a glance.

The soldiers in the guard are poor and it is difficult to marry a wife. There are many old bachelors in the army.

The era of agriculture is different from the era of industry. People need to rely on their sons for the elderly.

Many military households have nowhere to rely on, and their lives are difficult in their later years.

Seeing the prosperity of the Shang Dynasty year after year, the soldiers of the Guards Army who entered the court every year to fight, everyone was envious.

"We can't even get a daughter-in-law, but so many daughters are married to Zhenjiang, no wonder it is getting harder and harder for us to get a daughter-in-law."

Some soldiers complained bitterly.

Da Shan looked over coldly, seeing the general's eyes, the soldier dared not continue talking, and walked forward nervously with his head down.

Dashan's younger sister married a general in the Jinjiang Army.

He was originally an ordinary soldier of the Weisuo Army, but because of his bravery in combat, he was valued by the generals of the Jinjiang Army and recommended to Lin Zhiyuan.

Lin Zhiyuan was promoted and gradually gained his current status.

In the Guards Army, there are many generals like him, such as his good friend Hei Jiu.

The two people's hometowns are far apart. They were strangers at first, but they became friends during the years of war.

The two are not only brave, but also cautious and bold. They know that their chance to succeed is only by relying on Jin Jiangzhen.

Otherwise, under the two classes of honorable ministers, without external help, ordinary people would not have the chance to succeed.

Among the forces in the vassal army, roughly three are closest to Jinjiang Town.

One is the Five Thousand Guards Army that has been stationed in Zhenjiang for many years, the other is the rebel army, and the other is a soldier who performed well in the war and was promoted to a general by relying on Jinjiang Town.

The last one was mainly promoted by Lin Zhiyuan or Quan Shenxu.

It's incredible to think about it.

North Korea is still nominally a vassal state of the Great Zhou, but in terms of influence and control, Jinjiang Town is second to none.

On the third day, more than five thousand people arrived.

On the fourth day, more than [-] people arrived.

……

At last.

Only the three rebel armies at the southernmost point remained, but they had not yet arrived because they marched too far.

Three Rebels.

Not only Chen Kaiwu regarded them as his own people, but most of Jinjiang town also regarded them as their own people, without much defense.

Such trust was won by the three rebel armies, who fought hard for many years and made numerous military exploits.

and so.

Chen Kaiwu found Quan Shenxu and suggested that the army should start ahead of time. The army would advance slowly, and the three rebels could arrive later.

Arrange this way to avoid wasting time.

Quan Shenxu did not object.

soon.

Two thousand Jinjiang troops and more than [-] North Korean troops set off ahead of schedule.

There are more than [-] North Korean troops, mainly the three rebels. After gathering, they will be led by Gao Jinquan and others.

When Lu Shunyi and others arrived in Zhenjiang, they had already received Chen Kaiwu's military order, telling them what to do.

The development of people's livelihood in Jinjiang Town is not new in the eyes of North Korean soldiers, and they can see it clearly and carefully.

"Chen Shen will trust us, and we can't live up to his trust. We should set off immediately so as not to delay the battle."

Lu Shunyi said to Gao Jinquan and Liu Yiquan.

The three of them are in the southernmost part of Korea. After a long march, the soldiers are all tired and should rest for a day.

And in order not to delay the war.

It was decided to rest and reorganize in Zhenjiang instead of rest and reorganize in Lianshanguan.

Gao Jinquan and Liu Yiquan did not object.

The emergence of Jinjiang Town and its influence in North Korea have greatly changed the situation of too many people.

The two classes of honorable ministers covered all aspects of North Korea, even the rebel army.

These three rebel armies were not the most powerful in the first place.

The time of the Imchen Japanese Rebellion.

The leaders of the rebel army composed of many common people are still mostly from the second class, such as the most famous general in red from heaven.

The general in red from heaven, Guo Zaiyou, also came from the second class, but his status was not high, he was regarded as a country gentry in the local area.

The rest of the rebels, the leaders Jin Mian, Zheng Renhong, etc., are all squires, the end of the two classes.

With the help of the Zhou army, after the Japanese pirates were repelled, most of the leaders of these two classes patted their buttocks and went to the court to become officials to improve the family's lintel.

Most of the rebel soldiers in his department were also disbanded and became ordinary people again without getting rewards.

As for Lu Shunyi and others, their grandfathers were all from common people.

However, he was arranged by the court to the most frontier place, ignored and suppressed all the year round, and has reached the point of danger.

If it weren't for the emergence of Jinjiang Town, several films would have died out.

Their ancestors fought for the country, but they were treated unfairly. Several generations were successively suspected, squeezed out by two groups of honorable officials, and not accepted by the court.

Since following Jinjiang Town, the soldiers have been strong and the horses have expanded their army every year, and they have become a force that cannot be underestimated in the country.

Jinjiang Town is also growing stronger and stronger year by year, becoming more and more unfathomable.

If the barbarians are put down this year and the entire Liaodong is restored, Jinjiang Town will become stronger and have a deeper influence on its own country.

light or heavy.

The three of them had already reached a conclusion.

Under the mobilization of the three, it didn't take long for the remaining North Korean troops in Zhenjiang City to be taken away by them.

~~~~~~
Pingdingshan has always been a battleground for military strategists.

The war in Haizhou that year led to the emptiness of the barbarian troops here, and was taken advantage of by the Korean army, allowing the Jinjiang army to recover.

The Anshan area in the hands of the barbarians has been threatened.

There have been many confrontations between the detection posts and patrol teams of the two sides.

Gunners are easy to train, but archers are difficult to train.The former has a slow rate of fire, while the latter has a fast rate of fire. In different environments, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

In the battle between the mountains and forests, both sides suffered casualties, and no one got cheap.

The Jinjiang army moved frequently, with a large army gathered, and the barbarians made frequent targeted actions in order to defend Shenyang's right wing.

General Lang A was sent to garrison Benxi City himself.

Changyong Fort, Tiger Skin Station, Fengji Fort, Benxi City, Yiyiqiang Fort, etc., formed a line of defense to support each other.

The three forts of Changyong Fort, Tiger Skin Station, and Fengji Fort are Shenyang's defense forts. They are close to Shenyang City and can quickly receive support and supplies.

Benxi City is the last barrier against enemies in the direction of Pingdingshan.

If the city of Benxi is broken, the Jinjiang army can drive straight in, bypass Fengji Fort, and directly threaten Shenyang.

Pingdingshan is a battleground for military strategists, so Benxi City is the key among the keys.

Because it is far away from Shenyang, supplies and support are unfavorable, so it was built as a strong city, not a military fort.

in the city.

There are more than [-] defenders, except for a small number of bannermen, most of them are drawn barbarians.

Eight years of war.

No one dares to underestimate the Jin Jiang army who fought more and more bravely.

How could the barbarians, who were already unable to maintain their dominant position, dare to use the main force separately.

Except for Shenyang, the rest of the city is guarded by mandarins, but Benxi is important, and thousands of banner soldiers are sent to guard it.

Lang A didn't know how many enemy troops he would face, but he only had a thousand banner soldiers in his hand, which made him lack confidence.

soon.

The Jinjiang army and the North Korean army continued to reach Lianshan Pass from afar, and flags all over the mountains began to appear on Pingdingshan.

"Pingdingshan can't use the banner soldiers. Does it lead the enemy into the open plains and annihilate the Korean infantry with cavalry?"

Lang A shook his head.

They had a lot of horses at the beginning, and even the infantry were equipped with horses. After arriving at the destination, the infantry dismounted to fight, gaining the advantage of moving quickly.

It’s different in the past.

Although he knew that he was facing the North Korean army, Lang Ah did not dare to fight.

"The thieves are powerful now, and the army is strong, but our troops are few, and the danger is the most important, and the field battle is not profitable. It is better to use more flags and fireworks to doubt the thieves, and then we can surprise the victory."

As a veteran, of course he would not be trapped in a lonely city and let himself fall into a passive and beaten situation.

But it will not attack hard.

mesa.

It is his trap, which lures the prey to death step by step, and annihilates them in one fell swoop when he finds an opportunity.
