The adjutant listened carefully to the orders issued by Chen Xin, and at the same time took a pen and wrote it down in a notebook.

Chen Xin's adjutants are a large number of professionals, all of whom are professionals drawn from various departments, and these people not only have strong professional knowledge, but also have very high requirements for the personal qualities of these people, such as memory, shorthand, physical fitness, and so on.

Therefore, even if Chen Xin's series of orders were said quickly, the adjutant still recorded them clearly word for word.

After the adjutant wrote them down in turn, he asked Chen Xin, "Your Majesty, do you want to convene a meeting of the generals of the General Staff?" ”

As early as the beginning of this year, that is, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after receiving the Houjin began to hoard grain and grass, he was already prepared for the Houjin to attack Jinzhou and Lushun.

Although from the later intelligence, it seems that that this time was just a false alarm, but the high-level of Huaxia can be regarded as practicing a plan that has been formulated a long time ago.

Therefore, at this time, after receiving the information about Hou Jinxin's movements again, Chen Xin did not have any panic, and he said lightly to the adjutant who was standing next to him and asking about him.

"Don't bother the people in the General Staff anymore, just ask them to hand in a copy of the minutes.

You have to tell them that they should do it according to the plan formulated before, the Ming army is afraid of Tartars, Mongolia is afraid of Tartars, but we are never afraid of Tartars in China, our Huaxia Army is a professional soldier, and I joined the army to protect my family and defend the country. ”

All the officers present couldn't help but show proud looks.

After a while, someone asked an important question, "This is the first time that the Eight Banners of Houjin have taken the initiative to attack our army, according to intelligence, this can really be regarded as a national battle of Houjin, do you need to go to Lushun to control the overall situation?" ”

This is really an important question, the Houjin Tartars came to attack this time, and the initial action was already on the front line, and the men and horses of the five banners had already appeared on the front line, from this point of view, the Houjin did gather most of the forces to attack Jinzhou and Lushun.

For such a powerful enemy army, if the Huaxia army wants to take this opportunity to destroy a large number of Houjin Yousheng forces, then they themselves must also increase their troops to Lushun on a large scale.

At present, most of the people in China are immigrants, and a large number of security forces are needed to control the situation, which cannot be easily used.

Most of the troops in charge of field warfare carried out expansion in foreign colonies such as the Wa Kingdom, Champang, Indian city-states, and the Americas, and were responsible for protecting the reclamation and trade of local Chinese immigrants.

The number of remaining field troops that can be mobilized at home to participate in fighting abroad is indeed not much.

If all these small men and horses were to be transferred to Lushun and handed over to the command of a front-line general, even if Chen Xin was willing to believe his old brother, I am afraid that the ministers of the cabinet, the General Staff and other institutions would not approve of it.

Chen Xin knew that Zachdan was trustworthy, and there were still a large number of tigers in the army, as the most loyal soldiers, they were the backbone of Chen Xin's guarantee that the army would not be chaotic.

But the ministers of the cabinet did not know that if a large number of troops were really transferred, they would already be regarded as the elite troops of the whole country, and all the elite troops would be concentrated in the hands of one general, which was contrary to the strategy of political checks and balances.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of thing in the thinking of a soldier, but in the thinking of a politician, if you want to stabilize the country, you must not give careerists any chance.

This is a red line.

Chen Xin also knows this, and he is not willing to let those people in the cabinet do anything bad because of their worries.

So he smiled and said, "Of course this king is going to Lushun, and I prefer to go to the front line to deal with Jiannu than to sit in the country and deal with the documents that can never be signed."

As you all know, killing the Tartars after their complete destruction was my ambition when I left the Tartar army.

However, there are still some things that I have not yet dealt with, and after I have finished handling some important government affairs in the country, I will go over, and you will first put the order on the front line. ”

The adjutant immediately said, "Then go down and inform the guard flag team, and be ready to go at any time." ”

"Well, there you go." Chen Xin said casually, and then suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Wait a minute, Zig, don't go, let others give orders, you have other tasks, I am going to arrange you to the Indian city-state expeditionary force." ”

The adjutant named Ziggy didn't seem to expect Chen Xin to arrange him to go so far, he stood there in some surprise, Chen Xin had never told him before that he would send him to such a far place.

Chen Xin said lightly, "Although the Indian city-state is chaotic and remote, its importance is no less than that of the Americas, and even in the short term, the usefulness of the kingdom is far greater than that of the Americas on the other side of the ocean.

It has a large population, a great abundance of resources, and most importantly, a huge area of cultivation and a very obedient people, and if we can gain a foothold there, it will be of great benefit to the growth of our country's strength.

Of course, there is more to India than that, as you know, the shipping lanes in and out of Malacca have now been occupied by the Dutch who have built strong fortifications there.

In the future, once we turn against the Dutch again, it will be a choke point that restricts our navy's attack, and now, we can't rashly act there, but as long as we gain a firm foothold in the Indian city-states and establish a naval base, then when the war starts, our army will be based in India, and it will be of great benefit to our strategy.

Now, there are many city-states in India, and we have a lot of affairs there and a pitiful number of people. I'm afraid that the person in charge there will not be able to cope with more and more things.

Therefore, I am going to send you over as a deputy to jointly manage the raiders and colonization of the countries of the Indian city-states.

I have made a new appointment to you as Chief of Staff of the Indian Expeditionary Force, to assist the Commander of the Expeditionary Force in dealing with the affairs of the Indian city-states.

You have the right to make suggestions on military affairs, and all the right to make decisions is in the hands of the commander of the expeditionary force.

When encountering a major urgent matter that is difficult to decide, it is necessary for the commander of the Indian city-state expeditionary force, the deputy commander of the Indian city-state expeditionary force, the military judge of the Indian city-state expeditionary force, the political commissar of the Indian city-state expeditionary force, the chief of staff of the Indian city-state expeditionary force, and the chief of non-commissioned officer of the Indian city-state expeditionary force.

In the end, the commander still has to make the final decision on military affairs. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xin paused slightly.
