Raise troops at the same time? Divide the river and rule? Zhu Linmiao's eyes narrowed slightly when she heard this, and she remembered that the Jianyu who kidnapped Zhu Linyuan committed suicide by poisoning after being captured, and they were obviously all dead soldiers who had undergone strict training, "No wonder Jianyu is willing to invest such a large amount of money, and the plan is really not small." ”

He Tengjiao immediately waved his hand and complimented, "Your Majesty has strategized, and the thieves are cunning and unprovoked, after all, it is also a bamboo basket for nothing." ”

Zhu Linmiao shook his head thoughtfully, "It's not enough to break his tricks, there may be a lot of exploits in this...... For a moment, his eyes froze, and he said coldly, "This time, I want to teach these thieves to lift stones and shoot themselves in the foot!" ”

He Tengjiao was stunned, "The saint is talking about ......"

"It is possible to plan a strategy with Fang Cai to determine the vast situation of the lake," Zhu Linmiao said, "After the situation in Wuchang is stabilized, you will trumpet the defeat of the imperial court, saying that you will take advantage of the victory to support the Tang King and establish the imperial court." Nanjing will also cooperate with you to build momentum.

"At the same time, you have to reward Meng Zhengfa again, and then allow high-ranking officials, and then secretly order him to go north with your handwritten letter to contact Jianyu, and ask them to be like this......"

"W-Is this going to work?!"

"The thieves made such a big show in Nanjing, and when they were proud, they raised troops at the same time as you met to attack the Ming Dynasty, so I am eighty percent sure that they will be successful."

Zhu Linmiao glanced at him and continued: "Lord He, you are involved in a major rebellion case this time, if you can take this opportunity to make a great contribution, I will be able to exonerate you from the court." ”

He Tengjiao hurriedly said when he heard this: "Thank you, Lord Longen, and the ministers obey the order." ”

Zhu Linmiao immediately summoned Mu Yun, the staff governor who accompanied him, and ordered in front of He Tengjiao: "This is a matter of the vast bureau of Hu, and there must be a lot of danger in acting, you take 200 personal soldiers and follow Lord He at any time to protect him." ”

"Yes!"

"As for these people," he motioned to He Tengjiao's guards around him, "I can't guarantee that there are no leakers among them, so let's stay on my warship for the time being." ”

Then he looked at He Wenrui again, "This is He Dutang's son, right?" You don't have to venture into the city of Wuchang, come with me to Nanjing, and serve as a messenger between me and my father. ”

He Tengjiao understood in his heart that this was to replace his personal guards to prevent himself from turning back, and taking He Wenrui away was naturally as a hostage. But he could only still make a gesture of gratitude, bowed down and said, "Emperor Xie is compassionate." ”

Zhu Linmiao gave Mu Yun another detailed advice, and left a secret decree, so he took hundreds of guards from He Wenrui and He Tengjiao to board the ship and ordered someone to pull the anchor and return to Nanjing.

When He Wenrui got on the Guangnan Galese warship, he was immediately shocked - the ship under his feet was really loaded with more than ten cannons, the largest of which was at least more than 3,500 catties, and the hull was extremely thick, and it was estimated that the cannons below 1,500 catties would be no different from scratching.

After setting sail, he was shocked again, this boat with oars and sails, cleaving the waves, moving fast, except for the small centipede clipper, no warship can catch up with this speed. He secretly said in his heart, fortunately, the conversation did not collapse, otherwise with the seven warships of the imperial court, he and his father might not be able to return to Wuchang......

The fleet sailed through the Jiujiang River, and Zhu Linmiao received a report from Li Dingguo in Linxiang to break Liu Tiren's department in Changsha, which gave a detailed account of the battle.

It turned out that when Li Dingguo was facing the enemy, he actually sent scouts to go out for 80 or 90 miles to investigate-it is estimated that it was the "psychological shadow" left by the encirclement and suppression of the officials and troops who were often encircled and suppressed by the rogue--as a result, and it had to be reported that someone had requisitioned a large number of civilian boats on the east side of Dongting Lake.

He keenly noticed that there was a problem in this, so he sent his henchmen to investigate, and learned that Changsha's 30,000 troops had arrived at the shore of Dongting Lake and were boarding the ship.

After repeated deductions, Li Dingguo decided that the Changsha soldiers were going to bypass the Yuezhou defense line of the imperial court from Dongting Lake, so he decisively abandoned Changshui, marched for a day and a half, rushed to Linxiang Ferry in advance to set up an ambush, and suddenly attacked when Liu Tiren's army was halfway crossing.

No wonder He Tengjiao was suddenly cowardly, Zhu Linmiao smiled in his heart, it seems that he received the news of the defeat of Linxiang, coupled with his previous "intimidation", so he had to bow down.

He looked at the battle report in his hand, and couldn't help nodding slightly, this Li Dingguo is really a general, he only brought about 3,000 people, and the weapons in his hands are not much better than the old-style Ming army, but he has such a strong combat effectiveness, no wonder he can support the Yongli Dynasty for more than ten years on his own.

He immediately thought about how to arrange these former Great West surrender troops. In addition, there is also the loyal battalion headquarters that originally belonged to the Dashun army, although the elite of these peasant armies are good at fighting, but they used to loot and kill for a living, and they have many grudges with the previous imperial army, if they are not handled properly, they may be hidden dangers in the future.

"Now that we have more soldiers and horses in our hands, and the sources are becoming more and more diverse," he mused, "it seems that a collective reorganization of the Ming army will be necessary." ”

There was nothing to do in the boat, so Zhu Linmiao asked people to get paper and pencil and plan it in the spacious conference room.

"This Li Dingguo's army marched extremely fast, which can be described as erratic. Historically, his reputation for military discipline is not bad, but he can be incorporated into the broken camp. ”

Li Zhanshen can bring out at least 5,000 men and horses from the original Great Western Army, how can he not waste his combat power? He frowned, and first wrote down the words "Li Dingguo", but he didn't follow for a while.

He also listed on paper a series of advantages and disadvantages of Li Dingguo's ministry.

Advantages: The commander is proficient in the art of war, fast marching, strong ability to engage in combat, rich experience in mobile operations, strong regional adaptability, dare to play with life, and strict military discipline. Disadvantages: Residual rogue habits, poor equipment, unfamiliar with new weapons, only using old battle formations.

He recalled the various types of troops in his previous life, and suddenly found that there was a branch of the army that was very similar to the characteristics of Li Dingguo's department, and he couldn't help but smile and put up his pen, and added six words at the back - rapid reaction force.
