Bai Liyan did not object, and King Xian dismissed the intention of appointing another lieutenant, saying:

"That being the case, Zhang You will inherit his father's position as the captain in the future."

"King Shengming!"

"Then now let's talk about the use of troops against the country, how does the Marquis of Yongxing plan to attack the country, and what are the interests of our country?"

"King Qiyu, the minister plans to raise troops to attack and defend before the summer planting at the earliest, and not delay this autumn at the latest."

When Lu Gao heard the news, he hurriedly said:

"So soon, the town armies have not yet assembled for exercises, and the new weapons have not yet been issued in place, and there are only three or four months to attack and defend in the summer, so is it a bit hasty?"

King Xian agreed, and asked:

"Yes, is Yongxing Hou in a hurry?"

"The king can rest assured, at present, our country's combat readiness capability is unprecedentedly strong, and three months is enough time to mobilize more than one million strong men to participate in the war, and the minister said that the summer war refers to tearing up the face with the defense of the country before the summer harvest, and at the same time completing the preparation of the new army before the summer, as for when to send troops depends on the situation."

Lu Gao couldn't help but worry, he said:

"As the saying goes, if you take it by surprise and attack it unprepared, tear your face with the defense of the country and do not send troops for the time being, once the main force of the defense of the country is assembled to the east, our army will cross the river to fight again, the risk is huge, and the Marquis of Yongxing will not know it."

General Lu was right, Ben Hou was trying to attract the guards to gather eastward, and the more they came, the better.

"Why is that?"

Lu Gao was puzzled, and King Xian was also puzzled:

"Yes, it is the best of the soldiers to defeat the outnumbered, why did the Marquis of Yongxing do the opposite."

"King Qiyu, our army is now dozens of times stronger than the guards, and the ministers intend to gather and annihilate them, and use our army's new artillery shells to deal a devastating blow, so it is necessary to attract all the guards to the coast of Dekang County in order to defeat them in one fell swoop. Only in this way did the defenders fall into great chaos, and our army crossed the river on all fronts, and swept westward with a long drive in a hurry.

Since the main force of the defenders is all gathered on the riverside, after being defeated by our army, there will be no heavy troops in its hinterland, so that our army can send out hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cavalry to capture the counties and counties in the hinterland of the country, so as to seek to defeat the defenders in the shortest possible time and force them to sue for peace. ”

"Hiss......" Lu Gao was incredulous when he heard the news, and he couldn't imagine what kind of tactics Bai Liyan was depicting with his thinking, so he hurriedly said: "If the guards gather to the east, their population will not be less than 400,000, and they will be able to deal a heavy blow across the Sishui River?" ”

"General Lu can rest assured that the power of the new artillery shells is enough to inflict heavy losses on him, and even if he regroups to counterattack, what awaits them will be the blow of our army's new infantry and ship artillery."

Last year, Yongxingcheng produced more than 5,200 rifles, more than 8,700 long-barreled single-barrel shotguns, 5,400 long-barreled double-barreled shotguns, more than 3,000 short-barreled single-barrel and double-barreled shotguns, more than 100 revolvers, and 256 grenade launchers, totaling more than 23,200 guns of various types.

Due to last year's industrial adjustment and the relocation of Yongxing, the demolition and construction of the factory building delayed a lot of time, and the organization and process arrangements of industrial production were not perfect, so more than 23,000 long and short guns were produced in one year.

At the beginning of this year, the production situation has gradually become regular, and the production situation has tended to be stable, and the output in the first three months alone has reached more than 18,000 long and short guns, and after the seamless steel pipe is put into production, the production of shotguns will increase substantially, and it is optimistically estimated that it can be equipped with more than 60,000 long and short guns before the summer, which is enough to train a town army with a whole system.

In view of military secrecy, firearms are still limited to the distribution and use of the armed battalion and Zhoukong's town army, and the surplus equipment is backlogged in Yongxing City, and thousands of reorganized grass-roots officers and men can be transferred from Zhoukong's town army at any time to exchange them for centralized training and reorganization in other town armies, and at the same time, elite officers of the armed battalion will be selected to fill posts at all levels to strengthen leadership training, and there will be no big problem in organizing a new army in March to April.

At present, the town army in various places has high-intensity training all year round, and the discipline and organization are more malleable than the recruited recruits, and there is no need to deliberately retrain physical fitness and combat skills.

"My lord, the reorganization of our new army in three to four months is sufficient, and the war against the patriotic country will inevitably end in a comprehensive and overwhelming victory for our side, so victory can be expected." New Bayi Chinese Network Launch www.. com m.. com

"Hahaha, okay......"

Xianwang Long Yan was happy, and then Baili Yan turned around and then said:

"But there is one thing, the minister still can't make up his mind, and the king still needs the king to decide."

"Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The minister thought that after the defeat of the defense of the country, there would be chaos between the defense of the country and the old land of Sun Guo, so the minister did not suggest that our country seize the old land of Sun Guo."

Lu Gao was taken aback when he heard the news, and he hurriedly said:

"If we fight to defend the country and don't take the land, then wouldn't our country be a good person in vain when it sent troops!"

"General Lu, listen to what the officer has to say. If you take the land of defense, you must first face the children of the powerful people of your country who have moved into the Central Plains.

Secondly, the Weiguo moved a large number of Sun Guo's population from Dekang and other counties, and the Weiguo population moved in was less than half of what it moved, and our army gained very little people's power from seizing its counties, and at the same time, it also had to face the possible rebellion of the nobles in various places, so it was not profitable to seize the Weiguo land in the short term. ”

"Then what's the benefit of the widow sending troops?" King Xian asked.

"Back to the king, it is the eldest grandson who is asking my country to send troops at the moment, so I can let the eldest grandson cede the two counties of Sangbei and Sangnan adjacent to my Xianxi County to me, so that my country can get the two counties to complete the land, and at the same time, the population of my Xianguo can be increased by more than 3 million in one night."

As soon as this remark came out, Lu Gao was taken aback:

"Defending the country and cutting the land of the eldest grandson, how can there be such a reason!" Lu Gao rolled his eyes while laughing as he spoke, and couldn't help but feel that it was a fantasy.

"It doesn't make sense, but it's better than losing seven counties. Moreover, the defeat of the Patriotic Empire, the eldest grandson could seize several counties of the old land of the Sun Kingdom from the Patriotic State, and the land was enough to make up for the losses of the two counties of Sangnan and Sangbei. Speaking of which, the land of Sangnan and Sangbei counties is not large, and most of the areas in Sangnan are dominated by hills and forests, full of forests, and the traffic is extremely inconvenient.

However, as far as our country is concerned, the capture of Sangnan County can bypass Wanchuan and go from Pengyuan or the three counties of Qiunan and Xianxi to Shangguan County, and there will be no need to suffer from the Wanchuan road, which will greatly increase the strategic vertical of China's north and south, thus changing the passive situation in which Pengyuan is cut off and the four western counties are all cut off. ”

"But I'm afraid it's not easy to open." Lu Gao said worriedly.

"Zhang Jie came to my house in early April, and I have hinted to him that he has changed his intention back to China, and there should be a reply in the next few days."

"It's okay to have one land and two places, and you can't cut two counties to give me the Xianguo."

"What Lord Lu said is that it will take some means to make him compromise."

Then King Xian asked:

"What means is Aiqing going to use?"

"Back to the king, the previous Lord Lu said that the way to use troops lies in attacking them unprepared, if the news that our army is about to send troops leaks out, and the country begins to transfer troops to the east, then the price of our army's troops will be 'big', and the price of sending troops will naturally have to rise several times, right."

Bai Liyan laughed and laughed, and paused twice when he said the three words "big up", and King Xian and Lu Gao suddenly realized:

"I see, the widow understands, Lu Aiqing."

"Minister, what does the king command?"

"When Shi Qing and Zhao Qing see the opportunity, they must let the eldest grandson cede the two counties to the widow."

"I understand. However, I thought that the eldest grandson might not be willing to cede the two counties to me. ”

King Xian felt reasonable, so he asked Bailiyan again:

"The widow thinks that Lu Qing's words are reasonable, what if the eldest grandson is only willing to cede a few lands or half a county, instead of two counties?"

"Back to the king, if he only wants to give half a county, our army can occupy Weiguo Dekang to make up for the loss, and the minister thinks that the eldest grandson will definitely cede the two counties to me."

"Oh, why is that?"

"King Qiyu, the current war situation is becoming a stalemate, and the country has no intention of consolidating its territory and has no intention of fighting again, so the next step should be to urge Changsun to negotiate peace as soon as possible. Even if the seven counties cannot be swallowed up, the three counties and even the four counties must be cut off, so the eldest grandson country is anxious This is one of them.

Second, Wei Guo has opened up the west coast of Changsun, straight to the sea, has cut off all the land borders between Liang and Changsun to serve it, this is obviously not what Liang Guo wants, which prince in the world is dead It doesn't matter to Liang Guo, but the side of the couch can not allow others to snore, Liang Guo will not allow Wei Guo to serve him, so Liang Guo is actually more anxious than Changsun. One day, if the defense of the country continues to expand eastward, the Liang state may become a puppet of the defense of the country, which is extremely unfavorable.

Therefore, as soon as I Xianguo asked, even if the eldest grandson did not agree, Liang Guo would force him to agree. In addition, if Wei Guo is defeated, the eldest grandson can also obtain land from Wei Guo, so Liang Guo weighed it carefully, and he felt that the eldest grandson was not at a loss.

Third, of course, our country will not willingly cede the two counties to our country when it asks for the eldest grandson, so in order to make him willingly give up the two counties, the minister thinks that the two counties should be bought in the name of purchase.

The two counties could be bought for a cost of S$5,000,000 and 500,000 inches of silver, and a loan of $3,000,000 was allowed to resume production after the war. But these funds can only be used to buy goods designated by our country, so that they can be benefited, and at the same time, the money will flow back to our country, and he will not be able to stop. ”

The purchasing power of five million Singapore dollars is equivalent to four million two hundred and thirty thousand silver, which is simply an astronomical wealth for the Changsun Kingdom, and now the two and a half years of war have almost exhausted the treasury of the Changsun State, and there is not much left of the heavy money accumulated back then, and he has obtained five million Singapore dollars, 500,000 silver, and 3 million loans.

Further, after losing the two counties of Sangnan and Sangbei, the eldest grandson was able to get back from Weiguo, and he got money and land, and he even earned one of them.

Of course, there must be a premise here, this money is a special fund, which can only be used to purchase designated commodities in Xianguo, such as farm tools, non-staple food, munitions, etc., and it is impossible to drop it if you want to do whatever you want.

Obviously, if you can reach out and grab something, you have to spend money to buy it, and King Xian suddenly felt a pain in his flesh.

"Aiqing, five million Singapore dollars, 500,000 inches of silver, is it too much?"

"King, it's a little more, but it's easy to do things with a lot of money. In addition, the eldest grandson has suffered a lot of damage this time, and the threat of armpit people is increasing day by day, so it is necessary to make the eldest grandson resume agricultural production in the war zone as soon as possible and restore some vitality, otherwise the eldest grandson will collapse on all fronts in the future, which will be very unfavorable to our Xianguo. The minister also counted on the eldest grandson to take a knife for our country first, delaying it for a year or two. ”

"Hmm......" King Xian nodded slightly, still uncertain, and asked Lu Gao again: "What does Lu Aiqing think?" ”

"Back to the king, the minister thinks that if he can spend money to solve the problem as soon as possible, it will be worth it, but how much money should be paid should be considered."

"Yes, the matter of money will be discussed by hundreds of officials at that time, and it can't be too cheap for the eldest grandson thief." The fastest network update on the computer:
