Zachdan took the command whip, tapped it lightly on his hand, and responded, "According to intelligence, the tribal population captured by the Houjin army from the vicinity of Ningguta, or even further north, is specially used to fill the population base of the Eight Banners.

These captured people, when they were fighting, always rushed ahead of the legitimate Jurchen people.

Moreover, more importantly, these people have not been in the Houjin system for too long, and they are still full of wildness.

This allows them to exert an extremely fierce combat style when fighting, but at the same time, their discipline and the level of battle formation layout during combat are still far behind the old Eight Banners Army.

In fact, whether it is the veterans of the Eight Banners or these recruits, for us, they are all enemies, there is no doubt about this.

Even if this group of people is fierce, as long as our army can give full play to the tactical advantages of our army, no enemy should be afraid.

Still have questions? ”

The officer who asked the question just now shook his head and said that he had no objection, and Zachdan walked back to the front of the large map and continued to explain.

"I continue to report on other theater intelligence.

In the Haizhou City area, there is now a part of [Wuzhen Chaoha] of about 1,000 people, which translates to the meaning of heavy soldiers, and this part of the Han army is the firearms and artillery units formed by the Houjin after the bloody battle of the Hunhe River.

In the vicinity of Gaizhou City, there is another Han army unit that rebelled and fled to the Houjin army from the eastern region of Daming last year. The number of this team is about 1,500 people.

After that, the total number of troops that the Golden Tartars can use is about 7,000 people. ”

At this time, another man's hand was raised high.

Zachdan lowered his command whip and made an inviting gesture for the other person to ask questions.

The officer, who had raised his hand, stood up and asked, "Excuse me, Commander-in-Chief, I heard you say a figure of 7,000 men.

May I ask the commander-in-chief, since our army does not yet know the number of troops led by Dolgon in the Mongolian steppe. How, then, do we know that the Houjin Tartars can only use the argument of 7,000 people?

According to the figures disclosed at the many military meetings of our army last year, the Houjin army was able to quickly assemble and fight. It's about 50,000 people. Among them, the number of troops wearing heavy armor is about 20,000 or more.

In the direction of the Mongolian steppe, when Lin Dan Khan was alive and the Mongolian steppe was still a nominal whole, Huang Taiji was able to use Lin Dan Khan, who was beaten by 10,000 people, to run around and die violently on the road.

Now that Lin Dan Khan is gone, and there is no nominal co-lord on the steppe to unite them to fight together, I believe that as long as Dolgon brings a few thousand people, no more than 10,000 people, he will definitely be able to clean up those remote steppe tribes.

Let's include Dongjiang Town, which has no combat effectiveness for the time being, even if the gang of people in Dongjiang Town can make a fuss on Houjin's waist, distract the attention of those Eight Banners, and distract part of the military strength of the Houjin Army.

Calculate a little more, the Houjin army needs to divide troops to garrison some key parts, and the team cannot be easily used.

However, even if these are removed, in terms of Houjin, the cavalry that can be used for Fuzhou operations should be at least more than 10,000 people. ”

The other officers sitting in a semicircle around Zachdan and the large map behind him in the war room looked at each other silently, and in eye contact, they all felt that there was some truth in what they said.

Those tribes in the Mongolian steppe, their equipment has begun to be out of place, and even the organization and discipline have long lost the consciousness of Genghis Khan when he swept the world.

Even, up to now, their discipline and organization are far inferior to Houjin, a few thousand people, or even no more than 10,000 people, can clean up those tribes that made the first bird, it is really very possible!

Zachdan smiled and put down the command whip, he looked around, and decided to let Fu Yan go on stage to exercise. As his deputy, Fu Yan had already read all the reports in advance, and he should be very familiar with these things.

Thinking of this, Zachdan gestured to Fu Yan.

The two exchanged glances, Fu Yan straightened his chest and nodded firmly.

Zachdan smiled again, "Okay, let our commander Fu answer this question." ”

Fu Yan got up, exchanged places with Zachdan, took a deep breath, and started the performance.

"Regarding the number of troops of the Houjin Army, due to many reasons, our army can indeed only make a rough estimate now.

The number of troops of the Houjin Army mentioned by the commander-in-chief just now is the number of regular soldiers of the Houjin Eight Banners that have been discovered between Gaizhou and Fuzhou by the intelligence and reconnaissance departments of our army so far.

Intelligence shows that a small number of cavalry units with red flags appeared in Gaizhou City. Therefore, we expected the enemy to be wide and set the number at about 7,000.

The men and horses that Dolgon was going to take away, our army also estimated, and the General Staff War Room thought that the War Room in this regard was similar to everyone's opinion, and believed that the number of enemy troops was about 7,000 to 10,000 people.

As for the remaining Eight Banners that the enemy army was able to mobilize and assemble in the country during last year's operation, that is the scale of the general mobilization of the peasants, and this is not something that can be assembled overnight in a short period of time.

In terms of Houjin, at this time, it is in the busy season of farming, and it is not in a state of assembly, and it is impossible to assemble quickly.

You must know that it has only been a few months since the end of the Battle of Dalinghe, and the loss of various materials in Houjin is extremely serious.

In the future, the Jin army from top to bottom will always bring their own weapons, grain and grass mobilization system, before this year's autumn grain is harvested, most slave owners are unwilling to mobilize their own men and horses.

Of course, this is not absolute, but it is really a true reaction to the current situation of the Houjin, unless there is definite information that the mobilization continues, and the slave owners who only have the income of the land will definitely not let people go easily.

And we can do something about that. ”

Since last year, Fu Yan has become a representative figure among the new generation of officers who have attracted much attention.

After going through multiple internships and exercises, he now looks very calm in front of a room full of officers.

It can be seen from his bearing and demeanor when answering questions that he has obviously put a lot of effort into this regard.

Taking a presiding position at such a combat meeting and answering the questions of colleagues is very helpful in enhancing the prestige of the officers themselves.

It is clear that Zachdan is now officially training this new generation of officers.
