Fang Xitong did not talk about any tactical issues at the meeting, and it was not suitable for this first meeting to talk about specific tactical issues, and the detailed tactical plans, the Privy Council and the staff officers of the northern armies had already formulated many detailed specific tactical plans, and then Fang Xitong needed to review many and different tactical plans, and then discuss and summarize.

It's too early to discuss the tactics in detail.

Today we are talking mainly about strategic issues!

What should the Northeast Expedition Command do, so as to be able to complete the task of purging the alien races in the Northeast and occupying the entire Northeast as explained by His Majesty.

What can be done to achieve the strategic objectives set by the Privy Council in accordance with His Majesty's explanation.

The Privy Council, in accordance with His Majesty's request, has already formulated an overall plan and strategic objectives.

The strategic goal of this plan was to first destroy the main tribes of Chahar and Duoyan Sanwei, completely recover the Liaohetao region, and then start sweeping away other chaotic tribes, greatly expanding the actual control territory of the empire.

Specifically, it is to advance to Heilongjiang in the northeast region, and go north and east along the Heilongjiang River, directly to the mouth of Heilongjiang.

Fight all the way east to the North Sea!

To put it bluntly, the battle plan for the entire Northeast region, the goal set by the Privy Council is actually very simple, to take all the areas from Beihai in the east to Heilongjiang in the north, and establish actual rule.

In this area north of Hebei and west of Liaoxi, it is to seize Kaiping and Daning as the core, and then continue to extend northward, at least to build Liaoxi Province into a real province.

Although today's Liaoning West Province is also a provincial-level system, but in fact the area is very small, the area west of Liaoning is Liaoxi, the territory is very small, if you can seize Daning, at least you can multiply the jurisdiction of Liaoxi several times, and become a real province.

The goal set by the Privy Council for the Northeast Expeditionary Command is still very heavy, and it is not easy for Fang Xitong to achieve this task!

Today's meeting is to formally convey His Majesty's will and the strategic objectives of the Privy Council to the principal generals of the various armies.

In official terms, the purpose of this meeting was to clarify the goal, convey the spirit of the superiors, and let the generals act in accordance with His Majesty's will in the follow-up work.

It sounded like this meeting was very dull, because what was said, in fact, everyone already knew, long before Fang Xitong arrived, the relevant documents had already arrived at the relevant combat units one step in advance, although these documents would not be too detailed, but in general, they would still briefly mention the arrival.

Otherwise, the commanders and division commanders of the various armies would not have arrived in Shenyang City in advance and waited for Fang Xitong.

After finishing a dull speech, Fang Xitong looked around, and then said earnestly: "Gentlemen, our task is very heavy!" ”

After the meeting, Fang Xitong began to get busy, he didn't even live in the residence prepared for him by the military, but lived directly in the headquarters, anyway, he didn't bring any family members to take office, he ran to Shenyang City alone, he came to fight, not to enjoy.

What's more, this person doesn't like to enjoy the glory and wealth on the surface, he enjoys the trust of the Son of Heaven even more, and the feeling of entrusting him with important responsibilities and power.

Power is his greatest enjoyment!

If you let him learn from today's Li Chunjing, marry more than a dozen concubines, and eat every day, but except for a few titles such as deputy envoy of the Privy Council, army general, and imperial duke, he has no real power, and even Jinling City does not dare to leave at will, Fang Xitong can't stand it.

But then again, Li Chunjing did this, in fact, he also learned from Hao Bonian, and Hao Bonian has also done this over the years, on the surface he is obsessed with enjoyment, but in fact it is to avoid suspicion.

The Son of Heaven himself is wary of these military bigwigs, and if he expresses his desire to regain military power in three days, it will not be looking for death.

In the past dynasties, there was no good end, and there were countless founding heroes who were cooked by rabbits and dead dogs, and Zhu Yuanzhang of the former Ming Dynasty almost killed the meritorious generals of the founding of the country.

Fortunately, the Holy Son of Heaven is merciful, and after the unification of the empire, all the glory and wealth that should be given are given, except for military power!

And after nearly ten years have passed, the Son of Heaven has also begun to reuse these founding veterans one after another, and the resurgence of Hao Bonian is the most obvious example.

And it is impossible for Hao Bonian to serve as the minister on duty in the imperial study all the time, and after Hao Bonian retires, who dares to say that Li Chunjing, Chen Keqiao and others have no chance to enter the imperial study?

Li Chunjing, Chen Keqiao and others are all waiting, waiting for the opportunity that belongs to them.

They are now willing to be ordinary, waiting for ten or eight years or even longer, just to be able to one day enter the imperial study, become a real imperial minister, and open a new chapter in their lives.

It's just that he has waited for too long, at least Fang Xitong doesn't have such patience, so he took another path, a road that many army bigwigs despise, that is, 'foolish loyalty'.

Regardless of whether the matter is right or not, as long as it is the Son of Heaven, Fang Xitong will raise his hand in favor, and then do his best to do it, even if Li Xuan asks him to send all the 100,000 troops under his command to death, he will not frown.

Even if others say that his title of army general is not worthy of the name, just a 'same general', but Fang Xitong is not impressed, at least Li Chunjing and Chen Keqiao, who were more beautiful than him back then, can only grow flowers and raise birds, but he is a perennial leader in the field army, and a few years ago, he was the commander of the First Army with the rank of army general, and now he has become the first real theater commander in the entire empire.

The commander of the Northeast Expeditionary Command, with a main army of 100,000, is about to launch a large-scale Northeast campaign to expand the territory of the empire.

Li Chunjing is unlikely to have such an opportunity.

Therefore, even if others despised him, Fang Xitong was more willing to think that they were jealous of themselves, jealous of the Holy Heaven's trust and reuse of him.

Fang Xitong, who lives directly in the headquarters, is not idle, as the commander of the 100,000-strong army, it is naturally impossible for him to personally engage in any tactical plans and other things, in fact, these things are being done by the staff team of the headquarters.

In order to take advantage of the opportunity of this Northeast Campaign to test the planning and construction of the theater command in the future, Li Xuan specially gave Fang Xitong a lot of authority, and although the organizational setting of the headquarters was led by the Privy Council, Fang Xitong was also able to put forward his own opinions at any time and make adjustments to a certain extent according to his own ideas.

In addition, the composition of the personnel in the headquarters is selected from the whole army, and this has caused many officers in the army to be coaxed, and many of them want to be transferred to the Northeast Expeditionary Command.

Not only this headquarters, but in fact, the commanders of all the armies that are preparing to participate in the Northeast Campaign, especially the commanders of all units, whether they are middle-level positions such as battalion commanders and regiment commanders, or high-level positions such as brigade commanders, division commanders, and army commanders, there are a large number of officers rushing to take up them.

In fact, the officers of various departments of several armies have already begun to be transferred since last autumn, and the Privy Council has sent all the outstanding talents worthy of training in the whole army to the northeast.

Hao Bonian's eldest son, who just graduated from the Martial Arts Academy last year, was arranged to serve as a deputy captain in an infantry team of a unit under the Tenth Army, although most of the newly graduated martial arts students, many of them will be assigned to the army as a deputy captain, but like him, he is the main force as soon as he goes, and he is still in the main force that is about to participate in the war, so there are really not many.

Either you have excellent ability and belong to the object of key cultivation, or you have a strong background.

Why are the officers of the army rushing to serve in various units in the northeast, it is naturally to reap military achievements, after all, a large-scale battle like the Northeast Campaign is not always available.

Nowadays, although the Tang Empire has fought wars every year, they are all small-scale conflicts with the natives, and the real large-scale battles, after the unification of the empire, are actually only two, one is the Ninth Army in the north of the Hetao a few years ago, the first batch of troops to the grassland in the north has more than 60,000 people, and in the later period, the troops have been increased one after another, and the total number of troops participating in the war before and after has reached more than 100,000.

And the second one, which is the Northeast Campaign, which is still in the preparation stage.

If you miss the Northeast Campaign, if you want to encounter a large-scale battle in the future, I am afraid that you will have to wait until the expedition to the Western Regions or the Nanyang Peninsula or Fuso, and it is estimated that no large-scale war will break out in these three places for a while, at least in the past few years, the army has no intention of conducting large-scale battles in the above three directions.

Therefore, the Northeast Campaign should be the largest battle in the last three to five years.

Taking Hao Bonian's eldest son as an example, without considering his identity and background, if this person can make contributions in the Northeast Campaign, it is a high probability that he will be promoted during or after the war, and just being promoted to such a level is enough for him to surpass his classmates.

When his classmates were still struggling with the rank of second lieutenant, he was already a lieutenant, and in a few years, with his resume in the Northeast Campaign, he was very likely to be promoted to captain, and because of his combat experience and meritorious service, he may also get the opportunity to enter the Imperial Academy to study.

In another ten or eight years, his former classmates in the martial arts hall are estimated to still be mixed in the ranks of lieutenant and captain, but he is already a major.

In a few years, some of his classmates will no longer be able to mix in the army, and the captains will begin to serve in the reserve division one after another, and then retire from active duty and serve professionally in local areas.

And he has become a lieutenant colonel or even a colonel, and he is attacking towards a higher rank of general!
