The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 91
As long as the Ming army does not divide its troops, Nurhachi can only make a choice between fighting a decisive battle with the [-] Ming army, or watching Hetuala be captured.

Just like if he chooses a decisive battle, the result needless to say, even if the Ming army loses, Houjin can only win miserably.

And if Nurhachi chooses to retain his strength and fight against the Ming army, the Ming army will be able to defeat Hetuala.

Directly strangle Manqing to death in the seedling state.

Before Houjin moved its capital to Shengjing, Hetuala was not only a city, but also the political center, economic center, main food producing area, military supply place, logistics center, etc. of Houjin.

Without the solid rear of Hetuala, Houjin would not be able to develop at all.

The Houjin Eight Banners are basically mounted infantry. It is true that they can run if they can't fight, but what about women, children, old and weak?
Once Hetuala is lost, Hou Jin can only become a rogue in order to survive, and he is still a rogue with a family and a mouth.

Maybe they can be fierce for a while and ravage Liaodong, but as long as the Ming army can hold them tightly, they don't need to be able to beat them.

As long as they can continue to harass, Houjin will not be able to establish a stable rear.

After that, Jin will only be a rogue, or a rogue who is constantly weakened and cannot be replenished.

Because in the process of fleeing, even if the women and children of Houjin are all soldiers, and the per capita is as high as that, there is definitely no way to have children while running.

Therefore, Yang Hao is really wronging the country!

What Colonel Robin is doing now is really a bit of the demeanor of Yang Gao, Yang Dushi, the hero of the founding of the Qing Dynasty.

If you want Zhu Hongyu to say, this Colonel Robin is simply my hero for the restoration of the Ming Dynasty!

Take the initiative to divide the more than 700 musketeers on hand into three parts!

They are also arranged in three directions that cannot be reinforced in time due to the isolation of mountains and forests.

If the seven hundred Spanish musketeers gather together, the threat to the Liberation Army is one hundred, then after they are dispersed into three parts, each part may not necessarily pose a threat to the Liberation Army.

Robin offered such a good opportunity, can Zhu Hongyu let it go?

The Liberation Army has passively defended for so long, and it's time to launch a counterattack!
Zhu Hongyu made a final decision.

"The matter is settled like this. The whole army is preparing to send troops from now on."

"In three days, all the scouts were dispatched to give the general a clear understanding of the enemy's specific situation, troop distribution, logistics routes, leading generals, etc."

"Three days later, gather all the troops, and this general will personally lead the troops, and with the superior force, defeat the enemies on three sides!"

"If we win this battle, our recovery army will no longer have to hide in this mountain, but can go out of the mountain and seek development!"

"Masters, let's work together!"

"If you don't let me down, I will definitely not let you down!"

After Zhu Hongyu finished speaking, he bowed deeply to everyone.

Everyone got up to return the salute, but they didn't dare to address them in their mouths.

……

It was night, and the lights inside and outside the valley were brightly lit.

The camp and two bastions of the Restoration Army were lit with torches, and the three camps of the Spaniards were also lit with bonfires.

Inside the city wall of the camp, there are neatly planned and almost identical thatched cottages.

The streets are horizontal and vertical, very neat.

From time to time, a group of soldiers of the Restoration Army patrolled by with torches, showing the tension during the war.

It's already late at night, but the weapons workshop is still working overtime.

The bright red iron-smelting furnace continued day and night, and there was a sound of clashing and orderly iron tools. This was the hydraulic forging hammer hammering the rough embryos of weapons into shape.

The craftsmen wielded their hammers and sweated.

They quickly produced pieces of weapons and equipped them to the Liberation Army to deal with fierce battles.

Zhu Hongyu didn't rest yet, he summoned Zhou Tianxu, the leader of Jinyiwei of the Restoration Army late at night.

"This subordinate has seen the general!"

Zhou Tianxu walked into the thatched cottage, and bowed to Zhu Hongyu who was writing something.

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"Excuse me, sit down and have a sip of tea first, and wait for me to finish what I'm doing!"

Zhu Hongyu immersed himself in writing, writing death notices for the soldiers of the Restoration Army who died in this battle.

Although it is not possible for him to personally write every death notice, the workload would be too great.

However, Zhu Hongyu would personally sign and confirm each death notice, and write a sentence or two in mourning for the heroic soul.

These are some inconspicuous little moves, but they are really tied to the military spirit!
It may seem a bit false to outsiders, but in the eyes of the Liberation Army, it is a serious matter.

Zhu Hongyu firmly controlled the general's heart through similar small means, as well as his daily greetings to soldiers, coupled with various seemingly useless rituals.

After signing and stamping the death notices one by one, Zhu Hongyu sorted out and placed all the death notices at hand, and then raised his head and said to Zhou Tianxu who was sitting opposite him.

"Tianxu, I called you here late at night, and I have a very important matter for you to do!"

Zhou Tianxu got up from the chair and said.

"Please show me the general!"

After Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, he spoke.

"You take my handwritten letter, go into the mountains, and go to the crocodile tribe."

"At all costs, you have to find a way to persuade the Igrot tribe represented by the crocodile tribe to completely fall to my recovery army."

Under Zhou Tianxu's confused eyes, Zhu Hongyu explained.

"It is not a problem for our Liberation Army to gather superior forces to defeat the three enemy forces separately, but defeat and annihilation are two concepts."

"My Liberation Army wants to go out of the mountains and develop towards the plains. Just defeating the Spaniards is not enough."

"It is necessary to cause major damage to the Spaniards and annihilate their main force, so that future development will not be threatened."

"Although our Liberation Army is good at frontal combat, it can't wipe out the enemy's rout on a large scale in the dense forest."

"If you want to annihilate the main force of the Spaniards in this battle, you can only pull the Iglot people represented by the crocodile tribe into the chariot of our recovery army."

"As long as the Crocodile tribe agrees to send troops to assist our recovery army in annihilating the main force of the Spaniards, no matter what conditions they propose, you can agree at your discretion."

Zhou Tianxu nodded solemnly and said.

"General, this subordinate promises to complete the task!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded, indicating that Zhou Tianxu could step down.

……

In the early morning of the second day, Zhou Tianxu took Zhu Hongyu's handwritten letter and left the camp from the city, entered the mountain forest, and went straight to the crocodile tribe.

Sanchez met Zhou Tianxu in the tribe's meeting hall, and said straight away.

"What is your general looking for me for?"

Sanchez probably has a guess about this.

It's not asking for help, it's just wanting to exchange supplies.

Other than that, he couldn't think of any other possibility!

Zhou Tianxu smiled slightly and said.

"The general sent me here today because he wants to borrow troops from your ministry!"

He didn't beat around the bush, but said it bluntly.

Sanchez frowned, and as expected, he spoke.

"Borrowing soldiers is impossible. No matter how many conditions you put forward, I will never borrow soldiers."
