"Your Majesty, although there have been few attacks and disturbances recently, according to the informant, Duoduo has been moving troops south, and there are at least seventy or eighty thousand thieves in Yangzhou City. Ξ pine, pine, pine, pine, pine......, pine

Zhu Linmiao immediately followed Yu Xin's words and said, "Once the Dragon Guard Army is transferred, Duoduo will inevitably take advantage of the situation to raise troops to attack the south, the main force of our army is concentrated in Huguang, and the end cannot be taken into account, and the captives are like entering a no-man's land, sweeping through the south and capturing Nanjing, and our dynasty is in danger!" ”

Yu Xin hurriedly said: "The end general is not to grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige. However, the soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, must not be overlooked. ”

Zhu Linmiao interrupted him with a smile and raised her hand, "I just want to make Dorgon and the Duoduo believe what I just said. He immediately stood up and said solemnly: "What is being discussed today is related to the Daming Society, and those who leak it without authorization will be punished for rebellion!" ”

The generals stood up and saluted together, "Remember! ”

Zhu Linmiao just started the topic, "I want to tell you a good news first, Li Dingguo won a great victory in Hunan and captured nearly 15,000 people, Changsha has become a thing in the pocket of the imperial court, and He Tengjiao surrendered when he saw the situation." ”

He didn't leave time for everyone to be excited or surprised, and immediately continued: "Therefore, all the arrangements made by the court are all a plan to lure the enemy, so that the thieves will misjudge my southward emptiness and wantonly invade the south. ”

He pointed to the map in front of him, "After Yu Xin led the Dragon Guard and the Broken Camp through Chizhou, he immediately hid his whereabouts and returned to Jiangning and Wanshan in the starry night.

"Duoduo looked at the 'empty' Nan Zhili, and he would definitely not be interested in Chuzhou anymore. Therefore, the battalion headquarters defending Chuzhou will also pretend to attack Huguang and Huangzhou through Luzhou, but in fact, they will bypass Wuhu and Jianyang and arrive at Jiangning to join forces.

At the same time, the Yangtze River Sailor will go around Wuchang, and then quickly turn back down the river and lie down the Longjiang River.

"As long as the main force of Duoduo invades the south, I will first send a weak brigade to lure it deeper, and then our army will quickly rush to the south side of the enemy army, and gradually close into a semi-encircled state. At the same time, a part of the men and horses interspersed the north side of the thief, cut off his retreat, and completed the division and encirclement. ”

After he finished talking about the overall strategy, he raised his eyes and looked at the generals seated, "The thieves think that there is no main force of our army in the Nanzhi Boundary, and they will advance lightly to the enemy, and we are very likely to annihilate tens of thousands of troops and horses south of the Yangtze River!"

"At this point, there is no main force south of Shandong, and our army will take advantage of the victory of the Northern Expedition, and it will be like a bamboo. At that time, depending on the specific battle situation, or deploy defense in the Huai River, and then go west to Henan, or continue to go north into Shandong, and the troops will be directed to the north! ”

The Yangtze River divides the south into two parts, the north of the Yangtze River accounts for about seventy percent, and the south of the Yangtze River accounts for three percent. However, during the last Northern Expedition, the Ming army recovered the three prefectures of Luzhou, Chuzhou, and Hezhou, which belonged to Anhui in later generations, and now the Ming and Qing dynasties each accounted for almost half of the area of Nanzhili.

There are also many important towns in the enemy-occupied areas of Jiangbei, such as Yangzhou, Taizhou, Huai'an, Fengyang, and Xuzhou, which are also very economically developed areas. At the same time, entering Henan from the north of the south is almost a flat river, and crossing the Huai River to the north can directly take Shandong, which has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

Therefore, if this strategy of luring the enemy can succeed, as long as the entire territory of Nanzhi can be completely recovered, it will have a great impact on the great cause of driving the captives.

The generals all looked at each other excitedly and nodded. You must know that if you cross the river and attack Yangzhou, if you want to destroy the 70,000 or 80,000 Qing troops of Duoduo, you don't know how much time it will take and how many Ming soldiers will be sacrificed. In the south of the Yangtze River, luring the enemy to encircle and annihilate it, both in terms of time and casualties, it will be far less than taking it head-on.

Immediately, everyone began to discuss the details of the specific operation, improve the plan, and so on, until the time of the application was confirmed that there was no omission.

Zhu Linmiao asked the junior officers to sort out the battle strategy on the side, and said to the generals: "In the future, there will be more and more soldiers and horses in the imperial court, and for the sake of the Northern Expedition, we must first reorganize the whole army, so as to facilitate the command and dispatch in the future." ”

He took out the previously completed reorganization plan and said, "First of all, I will no longer be the commander of the Dragon Guard, but will be reappointed as the secretary of the military department. ”

Everyone was surprised, the Son of Heaven concurrently served as the secretary of the Ministry of War?! This is unprecedented in all dynasties. But Zhu Linmiao knows very well that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and it is normal for future generations of national leaders to concurrently serve as high-ranking officials. An emperor who does not know soldiers, but does not care about military affairs, is either destroyed by an internal coup d'état, or dies by a foreign invasion.

He wants to set an example for his future generations, and ask them to engrave in their bones that "although the world is peaceful, forgetting the war will be dangerous".

He continued: "The Dragon Guard Army, the Broken Battalion, and the White Pole Army will be unified into the Ming Field Army sequence. Later, in the official documents, the number of the three departments was changed to the first battalion of the field army, the second battalion of the field army and the third battalion of the field army. You can still use your original name when fighting on weekdays.

"The training methods and weapons of each battalion will remain unchanged for the time being, but the military flags, military songs, passwords, establishment methods, and military merits will be unified with the Dragon Guard. The military salary is adjusted according to the annual assessment of combat strength, and the specific regulations are drafted by Yu Xin. ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Linmiao looked at Yu Xin and said, "Yu Xin, you will take over the position of commander of the Long Wei Army." ”

"Yes!"

"Zhen Zhen, you are still the commander of the Broken Battalion, but you have changed your name to the commander of the Broken Battalion."

"Yes!"

"The position of the third battalion of the field army, that is, the command of the white pole army, is held by Qin Yiming. In the future, it will be directly commanded by the military department, and the weapons, salaries, grain, and grass of the White Pole Army will also be allocated by the military department. ”

Since Qin Yiming was in Sichuan, Zhang Jiayu, who was the squire of the military department, stood up and saluted: "The last general will then write in Sichuan." ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded and motioned for him to sit down, then turned to Shi Lin, who was standing behind him, and said, "Change the Dragon Guard's pro-military battalion to be separated from the Dragon Guard's jurisdiction and become an independent imperial battalion, and you will be the commander of the imperial battalion." ”

"Yes!"

Zhen Zhen continued: "Your Majesty, there are only more than 500 people in the pro-military camp, how can this be?" ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded and said, "Shi Lin can pick some people from all parts of the field army, and there are more than 1,000 people in the imperial camp in the early stage. When the war in Yangzhou ended, the number of soldiers was abundant, and it gradually increased to three to four thousand. ”

Although Zhen Zhen stopped talking, he still felt that he was not safe enough, and secretly decided that he still had to arrange more soldiers in the Broken Camp near the Forbidden City.

As for the minor changes to the local garrison, Zhu Linmiao only briefly mentioned a few words, and then began to announce the new establishment of the water division, "Admiral Zhu Chenggong of the water division." ”

"The end will be."

"In the future, all warships and coastal defense batteries of the Ming Dynasty will be under your control." Zhu Linmiao said, "At present, the main force of the naval division is organized into the Pacific Fleet, and you are also in command.

"The Yangtze River Naval Division was organized into the Marine Police Fleet, responsible for the garrison of the Yangtze River and the Great Lakes, and Luo Ming was appointed as the commander.

"At present, the infantry army of the water division is an independent army, and it will gradually increase its strength to 10,000 people, under the command of Liu Guoxuan.

"In the future, the East China Sea Fleet will be formed to be responsible for the Korean, Wa, and Ryukyu regions. Admiral Zhu is about to start planning. ”

"Yes!"

Thanks: November smile for my generous tip! Under the thanksgiving, thank you!
