Billy Zhou smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I will personally take charge of this matter." Before you take action, all the information of these eight Jin merchants can be conveyed to the Hetao base area in real time. ”

Li Ming nodded, and continued: "The plan you told me, I've thought about it for the past few days, and I still have a lot of ideas. You should draw up a perfect plan as soon as possible, and I will bring it back when I return to Liaodong before the end of the year, and study it with several members of the standing committee of the company's board of directors. I've had little hope for the outcast leaders since I met them, and we can't count on them. ”

Song Tao was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What plan are you talking about?" ”

After listening to Billy Zhou's explanation, Song Tao patted his thigh and said extremely excitedly: "Old Zhou, your idea is good, if our Far Eastern Army is dressed in the skin of a homeless person, then the entire Central Plains will not let us gallop." This also gives us the opportunity for the Far East to enter the Ming Dynasty, and we can learn from Taizu, play the countryside to surround the city, and finally slowly devour the Ming Dynasty. ”

Li Ming shook his head and said: "It's not as easy as you think, Da Ming is too big, and local forces are not so easy to disintegrate." We can only start with some old border areas and use the banner of the Displaced People's Army to gradually encroach southward. ”

Billy Zhou also nodded: "I've been thinking about where to make a breakthrough for us, and finally I found a place." ”

Li Ming thought for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The place you said should be Ningxia Town." ”

Billy turned around and asked the intelligence agent to bring over a map. Then he spread it on the deck, pointed to a place on the map by the light and said, "Yes, it's Ningxia Town." It is located in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, and after the Hetao base area completes the basic construction, the Hetao base area can develop southward with the help of the Yellow River waterway, and use the displaced army under our control to take the Ningxia military town.

Ningxia belongs to the northern border of ancient Yongzhou, and its land is backed by mountains and rivers, and the four stops are dangerous. Since ancient times, it has been the screen of Zhuxia and has become the junction of the agricultural culture of the Central Plains and the nomadic culture of the grassland outside the Saiwai. "The town is based. Helan Mountain is surrounded by the northwest, and the Yellow River is in the southeast, which is dangerous and defensible." In terms of the situation. It is to rely on the natural barrier of "the Yellow River surrounds its east, Helan towers its west, the northwest is fortified by the mountains, and the southeast is surrounded by the river".

Militarily extremely advantageous. Historically, it has always been a place for soldiers. Especially Ningxia in the Ming Dynasty. The strategic position is even more important. In the town of Ningxia in the Ming Dynasty, although the Yellow River, which is hundreds of miles long from north to south on the east line, is still playing a role, Helan Mountain, which lies in the northwest of Ningxia Town, plays a greater role in military affairs than before.

After the Ming Dynasty abandoned the Hetao Plain and retreated to Ningxia, it lost its defensive buffer zone. Ningxia Town, especially the Yanchi and Lingwu areas east of the Yellow River, bear the brunt. It became a breakthrough for the Mongolian department to move south. There was a saying that "the shield in the Guanzhong, the throat above the river". Moreover, the Yinzhou Plain, commonly known as the "West Set", is also an important commercial grain base and characteristic agricultural base in northwest China in modern society.

The Yinzhou Plain is about 320 kilometers long from north to south and about 10-50 kilometers wide from east to west. The total area is 10,000 square kilometers. It is a plain formed by the impact of the Yellow River, and the terrain is flat. The soil layer is deep, and the water diversion is convenient, which is conducive to artesian irrigation. Although it is located in a temperate arid zone with less than 200 mm of annual precipitation, the average annual transit water of the Yellow River is extremely abundant.

In addition to the 3,000 hours of sunshine per year, the natural agricultural resources such as light, heat, water, and soil are well coordinated, providing extremely favorable conditions for the development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery. Wheat and rice have high and stable yields, and wolfberry and melons and fruits are of good quality. The lakes and marshes near Yinchuan are the aquatic base of Ningxia, and the vast grassland in front of Helan Mountain is an important production area for Ningxia's Tan sheep. ”

Li Ming frowned and said solemnly: "This place is good, but if Daming loses Ningxia Town, it will definitely be greatly shaken, even if it is to smash the pot and sell iron, you have to send troops to attack." In this way, it may affect the company's future development plan. ”

Song Tao smiled and said: "I think it doesn't matter, if according to Lao Zhou's assumption, the future company in the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, will definitely not only control Ningxia, this army of displaced people, if the Ming Dynasty wants to mobilize soldiers and horses, the company can let several of the displaced army we control active in other regions of the Central Plains, wantonly attack the city and plunder the land, and even block the canal, capture the city, provoke us, learn from Li Zicheng to dig the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family."

Hey...... I don't believe that he Zhu Youzhen can still sit still, even if he can sit still, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty can't sit still. By the time they pacified the Central Plains, we had already made Ningxia Town a solid one, and even if there were more soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty, it would still be a food delivery. And don't forget, we can also organize the Mongolian cavalry troops in the north to have a huge "south to Koubian", will the generals of the Ming Dynasty Jiubian Military Town still dare to move? ”

Zhou Billy also smiled and said: "Because there is no threat from the Houjin regime, the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are not gradually consumed in the Liaodong battlefield as in history, and we can use the banner of the Wandering People's Army to slowly annihilate the existing elites of the Ming Dynasty in Ningxia Town, Central Plains and other places." If we really make trouble in the north and the Central Plains, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably put out fires everywhere, so we have no time to take care of the displaced army in various places, and it will inevitably make the displaced army grow stronger. We are still counting on Li Zicheng to enter Beijing and force Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself. ”

Song Tao stopped doing it when he heard it, and said hurriedly: "No, we all have our own team of exile troops, why do you still let Li Zicheng capture Beijing." You can't take advantage of such a big bargain. In the entire capital of the Ming Dynasty, how many powerful people lived, there was the real gold and silver sea. ”

Li Ming and Zhou Billy were all stunned when they heard Song Tao's words. After a long while, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, isn't it, it's all at this time, how can you use Li Zicheng to lead troops to attack Beijing.

In fact, they were just temporarily imprisoned by the Ming attack plan that the company had been formulating. Song Tao is different, he doesn't care about the company's plans at all, so he saw the essence of the problem at once.

Li Ming and Zhou Billy seemed to have opened their minds all of a sudden, and they both came to the spirit. They didn't drink anymore, they simply lay down next to the map on the deck, and studied it carefully, but they didn't have time to deal with Song Tao next to them.

Confused Song Tao, he didn't know why the two listened to his words, and suddenly like chicken blood, they frantically lay on the deck and chatted, and even argued fiercely sometimes. The two of them were blushing and thick-necked, like two fighting cocks. (To be continued......)
