After listening to Chen Xin's final conclusions, most of the officers were cleared, but there were still a few conservative officers who were a little worried.

Da Chun frowned slightly and asked, "Your Majesty, if our army abandons Jinzhou because of the enemy's attack, I'm afraid it will hurt the morale of our army."

Also, once our army abandons Jinzhou City, then, as long as Houjin Tartar re-garrisons there to defend, we will only occupy Lushun, but it will be difficult to attack.

Is it possible, do you have to attack Jinzhou City again when the time comes? ”

There was no need for Chen Xin to speak, and Lakshen, who had long understood Chen Xin's strategy, interjected and explained, "Jinzhou City is not directly giving up, this is just an assumption. What we are saying is that we will not attack Fuzhou in the short term.

Even if they really give up Jinzhou City and let the Houjin Tartars garrison Jinzhou City, it depends on how many troops they have left.

The four fields of Jinzhou City were left barren by themselves before, and the food they garrisoned in the city had to be drawn from other places and transported by land, which was a very heavy burden.

And if the enemy has fewer garrisons and horses in Jinzhou City, and can't stop our strong attack, we naturally can't be polite, just laugh and accept, which is also a kind of containment of the enemy. ”

Chen Xin smiled and nodded and said, "That's right, this is a kind of containment, our army will deploy one more person in Lushun, and the Golden Tartars will definitely have to deploy one more person in Jinzhou City."

Although the number of cavalry in the kingdom is far less than that of the Houjin army, we also have an advantage that they cannot match, that is, the convenience of shipping.

I don't need to say more about the huge advantages of sea freight compared with land transportation, and everyone here knows it.

After that, the Golden Tartars did not have the ability to transport by sea, and they had to hold on to the city of Jinzhou, and the price they spent was very high, and it was not the same as our army.

The foundation of the enemy's army is already thin, and in this way, even if there is no war, simply engaging in confrontation is a huge constraint for the enemy.

Moreover, we can't just have a simple confrontation, the kingdom has occupied Lushun as a bridgehead and foothold for our army in the Liaodong region.

Our army can suddenly increase its troops by sea from the country through that Lushun military port, and recapture Jinzhou City before the Houjin Tartars have time to react.

Huang Taiji has been killed, and no matter who is in power on the Houjin side, it is impossible to balance the interests of the various banners in the short term.

In this kind of place where the soldiers are lost, it only takes one time to make the flag that comes to garrison sad.

If we do this trick a few more times, the Jin Army can only choose to give up Jinzhou, this is certain, even if Huang Taiji comes back to life, it will not change this situation. ”

Da Chun smiled and said, "Your Excellency, your method is really, it's really that, I can't say it well." ”

Chen Xin smiled and said, "It's not good, I said this is the stupid way I said before, if it sounds good, I can also say that this is a conspiracy." ”

Taking a sip of tea, Chen Xin continued, "However, although this method is a method, it is also an effective method. Therefore, for the defense of Jinzhou City, our army should mainly use cavalry.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and from next year, the main task of our army will be to build cavalry units.

For a long time in the future, whether it is a self-bred hybrid dragon horse in the military horse farm or an excellent war horse obtained on the battlefield, it will be given priority to the cavalry unit, so that they can give priority to selecting and expanding the establishment.

In addition, when we fought with the Houjin army, didn't we capture a lot of horses that could not be used as cavalry mounts?

The Mongol horses, which were not used by the cavalry units, were handed over to the Lushun Dispatch Army, and temporarily placed under the jurisdiction of Zakdan.

These horses were used to equip some of the infantry as a supplementary force stationed in Golden State.

Although the cavalry infantry who was temporarily transferred from the infantry could not charge and fight, and it was impossible for them to really rush as fast as cavalry troops, they could make up for the speed disadvantage of some infantry.

Fu Yan, you still go back to Lushun to send troops to serve, and continue to follow Zakdan to station in Lushun and Jinzhou.

This year, Houjin has been sending troops for more than half a year, and the main force of its sortie has been defeated by our army's heavy artillery units.

Take advantage of this time, you must seize the time and train the cavalry infantry well.

In China, the expansion will continue to be completed, and the cavalry units that have undergone complete training will continue to be sent to Lushun. ”

Fu Yan saluted and promised loudly, "The subordinates obey the order and will never disgrace the mission." ”

After agreeing loudly, Fu Yan thought for a while and asked, "Your Excellency, your subordinates have roughly understood the strategy and tactics formulated by our army for southern Liaoning, but there are still some places where you can't get the right sense of proportion, and some concepts are a little vague, can you ask your lord to make it clear again." ”

Chen Xin nodded, "Very good, cautious, is the operational code that our army has always followed, and you, as the commander of our army's key training, should maintain this attitude."

You must know that any decision you make will affect the lives of thousands of warriors below, as well as the fate of the kingdom for decades to come.

As for the strategic issue in southern Liaoning, I will summarize it again, in general, it is one thing: only after our army has the strength to recover the whole of Liaoning, can we take the initiative to attack and recover the four guards in southern Liaoning.

To be more detailed, with the current strength of the kingdom, in addition to the Lushun Military Port accident, there is no need to care too much about inland extension areas such as Fuzhou City and Jinzhou City.

We don't need to compete for the gains and losses of that moment, the purpose of the kingdom in the short term is to expand Lushun, the former bridgehead in the eastern Liaodong region, and attract the Houjin Tartars to deploy forces equal to our army in southern Liaoning, forming repeated tug-of-war, contest, and confrontation.

In this way, it is a military training for the kingdom that has gradually perfected its industrial system and gradually extracted benefits from other countries and regions.

For Houjin, which has never attached importance to the development of the internal economy, it is different, and it is completely consuming the national capital.

Our army should use this strategy to strive to eliminate the living forces of the Houjin army, and constantly consume the enemy's main population, that is, those Houjin troops in the Eight Banners, and some Houjin diehards.

Houjin's population and materials are limited.

When our army accumulates many small victories into big victories and gradually establishes local superiority, it can force the Houjin army to continuously move the defensive line back step by step and take the initiative to cede strategic space to our army.

This is the overall strategy of the kingdom in southern Liaoning.

Now, is there anything else you would like to add? ”
