At the same time, I would like to thank many readers for their valuable comments and benefited a lot. )
Su Tiancheng was very emotional, and launched a general attack on Houjin Tartar, indicating that it was the decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin, in fact, it was the duel between him Su Tiancheng and Huang Taiji, this was a battle that was unequal at the beginning, Huang Taiji was the emperor of Houjin, and he could use the strength of the country to meet the battle, but he could fight in front of him, and he had to guard against the conspiracy from the court and the emperor.
The combat effectiveness of the Houjin Tartars is good, but it is not exaggerated to that extent, the Ming army has suffered too many defeats before, so that after the Houjin Tartars entered the customs, they did not dare to face the battle, and let the Tartars plunder, there are personal reasons for the sergeants, there are also reasons for the morale of the army and the imperial court, and the horses run well, and the horses do not eat grass, it will definitely not work, the commander and the generals can not take the lead, always have to charge the sergeants in front to die, for a long time, no one will do it.
Su Tiancheng single-handedly set up the Jiangning battalion, implemented a new way of thinking, put the honor of the army in the supreme position, any sergeant must use his life to protect the honor of the army, and in the Jiangning battalion, relying on personal ability and military exploits, you can be promoted, all the small flags and general flags of the Jiangning battalion, most of the hundreds of households, thousands of households, are promoted by relying on personal ability and military merits, with the promotion of the position, the treatment is also different, but one thing is very clear, when fighting and fighting, Officers must charge at the forefront, this is the rule of the Jiangning battalion, not to mention officers at all levels, there are some important battles. Su Tiancheng, Hong Chengchou and others all charged in person, which also made the Jiangning battalion form a good atmosphere, and the officers and men supported the officers, obeyed the orders, and unconditionally carried out the orders.
Su Tiancheng was very clear. If you want to completely defeat and exterminate the Houjin Tartars, what you can rely on is the Jiangning camp, I am afraid that the emperor and the court also understand, and it is precisely because of the strength of the Jiangning camp that the emperor began to be suspicious, and it is also because of the strength of the Jiangning camp that Su Tiancheng is going to change his thinking, and now Su Tiancheng is not alone. He has too many henchmen behind him, including his family, and these people need to be protected, and the only way to protect them is to gain more power.
Defeating and exterminating the Golden Tartar is a task that must be completed, and it cannot be delayed, Su Tiancheng has a feeling. Maybe at some point in history, something will happen. This is destined by God, and Su Tiancheng cannot violate such a law, although Su Tiancheng has never been superstitious.
If you are in an unfavorable situation, then reverse the situation, no matter what obstacles are in front of you, people will block and kill. Under the current circumstances, stabilize Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, Quanzhou in Taiwan and Fujian, and build Fuzhou and Xuanzhou. Relying on these places as a base, it is the best choice to start further strengthening the force.
It's September, the situation in the court is getting more and more complicated, Su Tiancheng is not ready to wait, he is going to start fighting with Houjin Tartar again.
The adjustment of the Huang Taiji combat deployment is already very clear, Su Tiancheng, Hong Chengchou and others, after many times of analysis, gradually clarified the reason for the adjustment of the deployment of the Houjin Tartar, in this case, the focus of the Jiangning battalion's offensive is not to be adjusted, this is very important.
Su Tiancheng is already ready to make adjustments, according to the original offensive idea of focusing on Haizhou, he may need to make changes, holding the opponent's nose and making the opponent tired, so as to achieve a greater victory.
Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Liangyu, Sun Chuanting, Bi Maokang, Zu Dashou, Liu Ji and others looked at the map on the wall and were all pondering.
The new operational ideas put forward by Su Tiancheng are very adventurous, and although it is said that it is possible to achieve greater victories, it is also possible to encounter accidents, and everyone needs to think about it seriously.
In order to readjust the operational deployment, Su Tiancheng thought about it for half a month, and after it was basically decided, Lu Xiangsheng, governor of Liaodong, Qin Liangyu, governor of Datong, and others all rushed to Gaizhou to discuss the new operational deployment.
"Lord Qin, Dai Shan led the army into the grassland, some days, it is estimated that the preparations are almost complete, it is possible to launch an attack, we need to remind the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, make full preparations, and never underestimate the enemy, Zu Dashou, Liu Ji, the two of you are specifically responsible for commanding the operation, the combat deployment in the direction of Datong, there is no change, after you go back, assist Lord Qin, the Datong border army must enter the grassland, and be ready to fight."
Su Tiancheng first said the arrangement of the Datong direction, the information from the grassland, after Dai Shan arrived at the Horqin tribe, he did not attack immediately, but contacted the various tribes of the grassland, which is a very normal situation, but then, I am afraid that there will be a cruel fight, Su Tiancheng can not draw troops to rush to Datong, stabilize the situation in the grassland, and hold the border pass, which can only be completed by the Datong border army.
"The operational deployment in the Haizhou direction and the Liaodong direction has been adjusted on a large scale this time, according to the requirements, once we have made a decision, the army must be in place within ten days, and at the end of September we will start to launch an offensive to take Guangning and Xiping Fort in Liaodong in one fell swoop, and in October, the army will enter the Liaohe River and directly threaten Shenyang."
After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, he looked at everyone.
Hong Chengchou spoke first.
"Marshal, the operational deployment in the Datong direction is not moving, and the subordinates think it is feasible, but the adjustment of the operational deployment of Liaodong and Haizhou is faced with three problems, and I have to consider it, the first question, Dolgon led the elite soldiers of the Houjin Tartars, stationed in Haizhou, it is impossible to just hold on, and will attack at the right time, whether the 30,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers who stayed in Gaizhou, Fuzhou and Xuanzhou can be held, this is something that needs to be considered, the second question, the Japanese Japanese have signs of attacking Korea, If they attack Korea in September or October, it may directly threaten Xuanzhou and other places, affecting our deployment. ”
When it comes to the problems in Dengzhou and other places, Hong Chengchou has not expanded, and some things are difficult to say at this time.
Su Tiancheng nodded and looked at the others, is there any problem.
Everyone didn't speak, in fact, they had already discussed, and the focus was on the problem that Hong Chengchou said.
Seeing that the rest of the people did not speak, Su Tiancheng began to return.
"Regarding the defense of Gaizhou, Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, this is the most important issue, the remaining 30,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers, no matter what difficulties they encounter, must keep Fuzhou, hold Fuzhou, it is related to the stability of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, as for Gaizhou and Xuanzhou, if they have to do so, they can give up, I have already said that our main purpose is to exterminate the vitality of the Houjin Tartars, and the occupation of the city is secondary. This is a task that must be done, no matter how big the casualties. ”
"The problem of the Japanese attacking Korea is not a big problem for the time being, the Japanese invaded Korea, and they need to take the entire territory of Korea before it can affect Xuanzhou, the king of Korea surnamed Li, since he begged my Ming army to withdraw, then he has to take responsibility and fight with the Japanese, the two sides need to fight at least each other, this is not a battle that can be ended in a short time, we have plenty of time to face, even if the king of North Korea is pustug, isn't there still an army of 30,000 led by Zhang Fengyi, they are familiar with the situation in Korea, just in time to enter North Korea to fight. ”
"I don't want to say much about the situation in Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, the principle has long been clear, no matter what problems arise, Dengzhou and other places must be stable, and they must not be subject to any fluctuations, otherwise it will be difficult for the morale of the army to be stable."
After a few simple explanations, Su Tiancheng moved on to the aspect of deployment adjustment.
"This time, after the adjustment of the deployment of the Golden Tartars, it shows that there is a target, in fact, there are loopholes, Zilharang led the army into Liaodong, but he is not familiar with the situation in Liaodong, although Dolgon is brave, but it also takes time to familiarize himself with the situation in Haizhou, the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners, because of special reasons, the army can only follow the banner owner, which creates opportunities for us, the situation in Liaodong and Haizhou, we are all familiar with it, and it should be our best decision to choose Liaodong as the main direction of attack."
"In fact, we should have chosen Liaodong as the direction of the main attack a long time ago, after taking Guangning and Xiping Fort, arriving at the Liaohe River, directly threatening Shenyang, Houjin Tartar in the direction of Haizhou, was also greatly shaken, this time the adjustment of the campaign deployment, can only say that we are finally back on track."
"I have ordered that 10,000 officers and men of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Taiwan should be dispatched to Dengzhou to protect the safety of Dengzhou and other places, so that another 20,000 officers and men of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Dengzhou and 30,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Gaizhou and Fuzhou are stationed, a total of 50,000 people, which is enough to complete the task of defense, and the remaining 60,000 officers and men of the Jiangning battalion will be directly transported to Jinzhou by the naval division."
"Once the operational deployment is determined, it can't be delayed, the night is long and the dream is many, once the Houjin Tartar is detected, we will increase the casualties, and it will increase the difficulty of the operation, the battle of Gaizhou, we have achieved a major victory, which has triggered a high degree of vigilance in the Houjin Tartars, the battle of Liaodong, I am afraid it will be extremely cruel, I still say the same thing, don't be impatient, you must have sufficient self-confidence."
"Hong Chengchou, the defense in the direction of Gaizhou, including the overall deployment of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, please leave to you, the army will take two days to prepare, set off on September 11, and arrive in Jinzhou in five days, Houjin Tartar has no water division, so our actions can be kept secret in a short period of time, once the army arrives in Jinzhou, even if the Houjin Tartars notice the change in our deployment, there is no chance to adjust."
"The importance of this battle is self-evident, and I hope that you will do your best to fight with all your heart, do not care about the affairs of the outside world, and do not be deceived by rumors." (To be continued......)
