Wu Xiang reminded in a low voice: "Chitose Lord, Gao Hongtu has never been on the concert of persuasion......"

It's a matter of the ass that I haven't been on the persuasion movement! Those sesame mung bean officers who do not lead troops do not matter, but the officers of the new army above the company and flag corps (including the company and the flag corps), the pro-people officials in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places, and the civilian officials above the rank of foreigner in the DPRK and the central government have to express their stance on this issue! If it is an officer above the company and flag team of the new army, if you don't go to the persuasion of the march, then go straight home, loyalty to Prince Zhu is the first iron law to be obeyed by the new army!

If it is a civilian, it will not be dismissed from an official position, but it will become the target of the key inspection of the Metropolitan Procuratorate......

However, Gao Hongtu's warlordized frontier is not something that Zhu Cihong can handle casually!

Although the old man was beaten by Duoduo and almost jumped over the dirt river, he eventually pulled 15,000 men out of the battlefield.

After fighting with Duoduo's main force for three days, half of them could still leave alive, and Duoduo didn't dare to chase after him - it was almost two hundred miles back to Jinan from the Tuhe front!

Duoduo's Eight Banners are all horse teams, and if they don't chase and kill, they can only show one problem, and their losses are not small, it must be a crushing victory and a narrow victory! I was furious in my heart, and I didn't dare to fight anymore, so Gao Hongtu was able to retreat safely.

Such a record could not even be beaten by the Guanning Army in the past, but the high-minded Shandong Regiment Training Army actually did it.

This shows at least two problems, one is that the combat effectiveness of the Shandong regiment training army is not too weak - this is the start-up! If Gao Hongtu jumps a few more times, Zhu Cihong will give him some additional military salary and ordnance, and sooner or later he will be able to experience it!

The second is ...... Gao Hongtu's control over the training of the Shandong regiment is already in place!

Management and control are also combat effectiveness! Only when control is in place can orders and prohibitions be enforced, and only when orders and prohibitions are carried out can tens of thousands of troops work together to fight.

If the Guanning Army is judged by the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, it is definitely above the Shandong regimental training, and they are also Liao people guarding Liaotu, which is similar to the Shandong regimental training, but they do not have the ability to fight with the Manchurian soldiers in the field.

The reason for this is that no one can control the Guan Ning Army as well as Gao Hongtu to control "Qi Yong" - the Guan Ning Army is, to put it bluntly, a group of small warlords with their own families to put together the troops. The internal cohesion is far inferior to that of "Qi Yong", and there is no "founding leader" like Gao Hongtu pressing the mountain below. Therefore, ten points of combat power can be used at most, and no one is willing to work hard at the critical moment.

And such a "Qi Yong" who can fight and fight is now not under Zhu Cihong's firm control...... And such an army in today's Ming Dynasty must be more than just Qi Yong's family!

Let go and use the clan town group training, there is no doubt that it is also a double-edged sword!

"It's okay," Zhu Cihong just smiled, as if he didn't care, "and the palace doesn't point to his music as the emperor." ”

This is a bit inappropriate, and the ministers present frowned slightly.

Zhu Cihong looked at their expressions, and also realized it, and added: "This palace is a filial son, and sooner or later he will take the position of his father and replace him out of filial piety." Because his father has long had the intention of retiring and traveling, how can this palace, as a son of man, not take care of his father? The courtiers below persuaded him to do this too much. When the time is ripe, my father will decree inner meditation. As long as the palace can strike a blow at the Tartars, so that they no longer dare to covet the southeast, who else will not be convinced? ”

Since Gao Hongtu's Qi Yong performed well, Shi Kefa's Qufu Kong Yong was also quite capable of fighting...... Then Zhu Cihong's "Central Army" must not be too weak, and must also behave well, otherwise this brave and that brave will not be convinced!

The job of the emperor still depends on the strength of the gun, and now defeating the Tartars is the only criterion for testing the gun!

No matter how good Gao Hongtu is, he has also jumped into the earth river! If Prince Zhu's Central Army can defeat the Tartars' soldiers, who else would dare to disobey?

If Zhu Cihong's "Central Army" can't beat the Tartars, then he will not be able to usurp the throne and be unsteady.

"Chitose Lord, it's not easy to hit the Tartars!" Wu Xiang was still a little worried, "Although the model army of the fifteenth regiment of the Chitose Lord is very capable of fighting, the model army is mainly an infantry army, and the main force of the Tartars is cavalry. If they fought in the mountains of the water towns, the model army would still be able to find an opportunity to attack the Tatars, but the terrain of Yanzhou and Dongchang in Shandong was mostly plains. The cavalry of the Tartars came and went like the wind, fighting and not fighting, and the enemy was not ours...... How can I hit hard? ”

Now the Ming Dynasty has lost half of the northern wall and has been mixed into the Southern Ming. Although after Zhu Cihong's efforts to rectify, the military strength is stronger than before the fall of Beijing, but now the strength of the new army lies in the infantry army and the naval division, and the cavalry is much weaker than before the fall of the north. After all, the southeast half of the Ming Dynasty does not produce war horses, there are no war horses, where is the cavalry?

Therefore, the number of cavalry of the new army is very small, the total number is only a few thousand, and the main force of them is two model cavalry regiments.

Relying on this, the cavalry may be enough in Jiangnan and Huainan, which are densely covered with water networks, and if they go to the Central Plains, they will not say any large-scale cavalry mobile operations, and they will not even be able to collect them at night......

Without enough reconnaissance cavalry, once the army entered the Henan and Luxi Plains, which were controlled by the Qing Dynasty, it was easy to become deaf and blind, unable to find the enemy's main force, and not enough mobile forces to protect the logistics line.

In this case, no matter how strong the infantry is, it will not be able to play because it has no chance to fight.

Plus, even if you win a decisive battle. Without cavalry in pursuit, the fruits of victory could not be expanded. This makes it easy to have a situation where it can be defeated but not annihilated...... There is no way to talk about beating the Tartars.

"Why don't we go north by water and land directly in Beizhili or Liaoxi!" Huang Binqing, the commander of the naval guard, made a cruel move to Zhu Cihong, he said, "If we march along the Wei River to Beijing, Dolgon may have to fight a decisive battle with us, and the current Beijing is the nest of the Manchurians!" ”

"It's not proper......," Wu Sanfu shook his head again and again, "Now the model army only has eight so-called 12-pounder Hongyi cannons, not to mention Beijing City, even if the fortress built by the Tatars at the mouth of Dagu can't be bombed!" ”

"Then buy more Hongyi cannons!" Huang Binqing said, "The Nanjing Artillery Bureau can produce it, and that Luoyang man has opened a cannon factory in Shanghai, and there is also a Portuguese cannon factory in Haoao, and there is also a cannon factory in Anping Town of the Zheng family...... These are all that can produce Hongyi cannons! Wouldn't it be okay to buy him dozens or hundreds? ”

At present, there are four cannon foundries that can produce Hongyi cannons, including the Nanjing Artillery Bureau, the Shanghai Luo's Gun Factory, the Anping Gun Factory, and the Haoao Bujialao Gun Factory, which can control or influence the "Southern Ming" court, and the monthly output of thirty or forty guns is not a problem. If it wasn't enough, you could buy from the Dutch East India Company, and you would have to buy as much as you wanted.

In recent years, the artillery reserves of the European powers have been in the thousands! One of their third-class battleships can be equipped with dozens of cannons, and the 12-pounder Hongyi cannon can only be regarded as a "little brother" in naval artillery.

"There are artillery, artillery, you can also let the Westerners teach, and if it doesn't work, hire the Xiyi." Wu Xiang shook his head and said, "But there is no horse to pull, a 12-pounder Hongyi cannon cannon, without thirty horses, can't pull it at all." This horse can't be used to death, it has to be used in turns, so a 12-pounder Hongyi cannon must be equipped with at least thirty horses! Moreover, it is not enough to just pull cannons, but also to pull cannonballs, gunpowder, blacksmith stoves, etc., and now the military department can't get many horses.

In addition, if the model army goes north to Beizhili or Liaodong and Liaoxi, it will not be able to come back for a few months to a year......"

"Old Taishan is right, now is not the time for an expedition across the sea...... Zhu Cihong frowned, "You can't go to Shandong to fight Duoduo, this guy has just suffered a lot, and he will definitely be more careful." Let's fight Hauge! ”
