Chapter 3: Haitang Strategy

(The third update, the powerful one is coming, brothers, vote for red)

Lin Lian, Cao Ziang, Ning Zechen, Sun Shangwang and others climbed the sea pond, looked at the busy construction site at the mouth of the Vortex River, pointed to the left and right and said: "Between Li Zhuo's effective rectification of the Yanbei defense line, we must be wary that the Dongyu will break through the border again after the autumn......"

"Yes, breaking the edge is like breaking tofu, and I will come to make trouble ......once a year," Ning Zechen said with emotion, if it weren't for the Jin Zhong Army, Shao Wujun and them who fought a few hard battles with Dongyu, Dongyu is afraid that he won't even lose a few hairs this time, and now the Jinzhong Army is disabled, Shao Wujun is disabled, although the Jiangdong Left Battalion is more beautiful, but the strength is still very weak.

"Next time, it may not be the turn of Jiangdong Zuoying to go north to King Qin." Cao Ziang sighed slightly.

Lin Jian took a deep breath, he was able to stay in Jinhai for the time being, because the imperial court needed him to stay in Jinhai Association to organize Haicao and send grain to Jinhaicang, and when the grain shortage crisis in Gyeonggi eased a little, Jiangdong Zuoying needed to return to Jiangdong to garrison. I don't know if I can get the opportunity to enter Beijing to face the saint - Lin Jian has no expectations for this, but Lin Mengde and others are looking forward to this, with the great victory of the Jiangdong Left Battalion in the four battles and the merit of co-organizing Haicao, it seems that entering Beijing is a deserved glory - the next time the Dongyu invades again, whether he can go north to King Qin, it depends on Yue Lengqiu's face. Of course, it is also possible for the military department to directly transfer the Jiangdong Left Battalion to King Qin, but this possibility is very small.

Lin Jian was worried about whether Jinhai would be able to establish a perfect defense system before the next time the Eastern Prisoners broke through the border and invaded the Koukou.

"The Yamen of Hejian Prefecture, Jinhai County, Ducao Transportation Division, and Salt and Iron Division will all gather here, and when the Gyeonggi grain shortage crisis eases, a new city will be built here," Lin Jian said to Sun Shangwang, "Then the functions of the temporary Vortex Inspection Department will be duplicated with Jinhai County, and it will be abolished, if you want to serve in the local government, I can recommend ......."

"If the adults don't think Shang Wang is stupid, Shang Wang is willing to keep accounts and copy for the adults...... "Sun Shangwang doesn't want to hold an official position in the local area, he wants to integrate into the group of Jiangdong Zuoying, instead of staying in the local intrigues, and has never had a chance to say it.

"In this way, the bookkeeping transcription is your talent," Lin Jian pondered for a moment and said, "Then I will give you the dispatch of 'Xiecao', and you can be regarded as a subordinate of the Jiangdong Zuo Battalion, but I still hope that you can stay in Jinhai, after all, you are familiar with the situation here......"

"Since he is a subordinate of the Jiangdong Left Battalion, he will naturally let his lord order if he goes to stay." Sun Shangwang said.

"What's the difference?" Ning Zechen asked with a smile.

Lin Jian took a look to stop them from discussing too sensitive topics, and said to Sun Shangwang: "I won't stay in Jinhai Xiecao for a long time, and I will be transferred back to Jiangdong, but the matter of Xiecao cannot be abolished, and the various measures to contact maritime merchants and shipowners cannot be abolished." After we leave, you will be the main thing...... Jinwei Island is no different from Private Island, I want you to build it into a fortress at all costs, I will leave a sentry guard, a thousand-stone warship on the island, you don't need to care about daily training, if there is an urgent need, listen to your call. In addition, Jinwei Island reserves grain and water, which can be used by 10,000 people for a month, and is ready to evacuate the people of the East and the Tianjin Navy to Jinwei Island. I will point out the key points with Lin Xuwen, and ask him to concentrate the elite of Jinzhong in Jinhai New Town, and in wartime, Jinwei Island wants Zhoujiazhai and Jinhai New City to be horns ......"

"Don't adults have any confidence in Li Zhuoping?" Sun Shangwang asked suspiciously.

Lin Jian can see the copy of Ping Yuce, and Cao Ziang, Ning Zechen, Sun Shangwang and others can naturally see it, but it is limited to these people.

Lin Jian turned to look at the blue sea, sighed lightly, and said: "Li Zhuoqi has a strategy for soldiers, and the strategy of leveling the capture cannot but be said to be the best policy, but it is not easy to implement......"

"How so? Please give me advice. Sun Shangwang asked.

"Before the defeat of Chentangyi, the layout of the DPRK and China against the Dongyu was an external defense, relying on the Yanshan defense line, and advancing in the outer layers of forts and forts to compress the strategic space of the Dongyu," Lin Jian said. In order to regain the strategic disadvantage, the military department's defensive thinking against the eastern captives still stayed on the outer line defense, and always wanted to continue to build forts and fortresses outside the Yanshan defense line to deepen the depth of the Yanshan defense line. Before the fiasco of Chen Tangyi, the border army still dared to fight with the captives, and the outer line forts built with the idea of external defense could be horns for each other. However, after the fiasco of Chen Tangyi, the idea of external defense was somewhat out of order, and all the defenders were cowering in the fortress and did not dare to move, so they lost the role of being horns and connecting each other, and they could not smoothly push the army to fortress Tuntian, so that the cost of building the outer line defense was extremely high, and it was difficult to achieve great results......

“…… Li Zhuo's strategy is the opposite of the external defense, which is the internal line of contraction defense. On the basis of retreating and sticking to the Yanshan defense line, the troops originally scattered to the outer line of Fort Seri and other heavy troops were gathered in Linyu (Shanhaiguan) or Jizhou's inner line, and the boat division was added in Jinhai, and the Dengzhou boat division in Shandong formed a defensive trend in the depth of the inner line - this is what we see in the Pingyu policy, but in this Pingyu policy, Li Zhuo only wrote the first stage of his overall thinking. Look at the opposite side......" Lin Jian pointed to the northeast, behind the sea level is the Liaodong Peninsula, "the opposite side is Liaodong, that is, the east is behind the enemy, if it is arranged according to the policy of Pingyu, forming a three-way layout of heavy troops gathering in Linyu or Jizhou, Jinhai, and Dengzhou, in fact, it is a three-way attack on the Dongyu." After the preparations were made, the heavy troops gathered in Linyu or Jizhen advanced north along the western part of Liaoxi to form a frontal battlefield against the eastern captives and contain the main force of the eastern captives, but the two partial divisions from Jinhai and Dengzhou carried troops to the eastern part of the enemy with boat divisions to directly attack the eastern part of the enemy, and the attack must be saved, even if the enemy could not be defeated in one fell swoop, it could also form a situation of active offensive on the outer line. At this time, even if it is transformed into an external defense strategy, it will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort......"

"With what Ping Yu said, it may be possible, even if it doesn't work once, as long as the Yanshan defense line is stable, the second and third three-way attacks on Donglu can still be carried out," Ning Zechen asked, "Why don't you have a little optimistic view?" ”

"If today's saint really has the wisdom and wisdom of the great talent, and can unswervingly adhere to Li Zhuo, he may be able to succeed in five years," Lin Jian said in front of Cao Ziang, Ning Zechen, and Sun Shangwang, "With Li Zhuo's thinking, the first step is to abandon the son and compete for the first, and completely abandon the external defense strategy, so that the limited forces can be concentrated on the inner line to rectify and accumulate." It is necessary to accumulate strength, just like when we fight, the five-finger fist must be withdrawn in order to be more powerful. Even if the captives break through the border and enter the army again, Li Zhuo can have a strong army with complete formation and mutual trust on the inner line to actively fight with the captive soldiers, and there will no longer be a pattern in which the Jinzhong army is annihilated and the Jibei army is watching, and it can even form a pattern of internal battle in my favor - so Li Zhuoping's capture strategy is a strategic idea of in-depth defense on the inner line at first glance......"

Lin Jian continued: "...... There are several problems that are difficult to solve, one is that Li Zhuo's strategic thinking is very different from the strategic thinking of the Ministry of War and Hao Zongcheng and others, and it can even be said that it is completely opposite. In addition, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are clamoring all day long to recover their ancestral homeland and advance to the outer line, can they withstand Li Zhuo's first step of 'abandoning their sons and competing for the first'? The third is that Li Zhuo gathered his limited military forces on the inner line to rectify and accumulate, and it will take a long time to achieve results in rectifying the Jibei Army. The best way is to push the Jibei Army to the Yanshan defense line, and transfer Li Zhuo's elite Chen Zhihu Department created by himself in Dongmin to the inner line to strengthen it, but will the imperial court rest assured that Chen Zhihu's Department will be transferred to the inner line for Li Zhuo to use? ”

"Oh, I also think it's strange, why did Li Zhuo deliberately avoid Chen Zhihu's department and take the initiative to lead the Northern Army of Ji in Pingyuce? It turned out to be to prevent giving unnecessary suspicion! Ning Zechen suddenly realized.

Cao Ziang laughed and said nothing, if Li Zhuo mentioned that he wanted to use Chen Zhihu's department when he was pacifying, it would be impossible for Pingyuce to surface.

"Fourth, even if the DPRK and China agree with Li Zhuo's idea of in-depth defense of the inner line of abandoning his sons, he will have to endure at least one captive army to break through the border and enter the army. After all, after abandoning the sons and abandoning the outer line, the Yanshan defense line was too thin, and the captives had to be sent to the inner line for defensive operations. The size of the loss will completely depend on the progress of the rectification of the Jibei Army when it breaks through the border and enters the Kou," Lin Jian pointed to the Jibei Army barracks in the north and asked Ning Zechen and the others, "Just such an army, if you go to rectify, how much time will it take to reorganize it into an elite army worthy of field warfare, so that the captives will not easily break through the border and enter the Kou?" How long will it take to form a situation of simultaneous counterattack from Linyu, Jinhai, and Dengzhou? ”

"Two years...... Ning Zechen said unconfirmed, "Li Zhuo's army is famous all over the world, maybe it won't take so much time." ”

"Even if it's two years," Lin Jian said, "but if Li Zhuo's first counterattack is thwarted after two years, although the five-year contract has not yet expired, do you think the imperial court will give him another chance to organize a second three-way attack?" ”

Cao Ziang sighed slightly: "With the mind of the one who sits on the dragon chair today, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it even if the second time the captives break the border, Li Zhuo is very smart and never mentions this point in the Ping Yuce, I am afraid that he will be mis......taken by his cleverness."

"No," Lin Jian shook his head, "Li Zhuo should be able to think of this, he resolutely stood up, it was to fight for the time of 'abandoning the son to be the first', the internal line rectification and the three-way layout, and the time mentioned in the pacification strategy was to fight for razing and razing, but it was only to buy more time, maybe the second time the capture of the army could not be avoided, he would be asked for the crime and dismissed, but as long as the successor can inherit his strategic thinking, there is still a chance of success!" At least it can be used to get some passivity in terms of strategy against the East. ”

Sun Shangwang and Ning Zechen sighed slightly, and Cao Ziang also sighed slightly, he also had to admit that Li Zhuo was more broad-minded than Hou Ye, but it was too difficult to implement his strategic ideas.

(Note: As written in this chapter, the controversy in the book review area about "Li Zhuo's allusion to Yuan" should have been settled.) It is normal for the characters in the novel to be based on historical figures, and it is plausible to take one or two of them, but there is no need to force the entire character into the mold of a historical figure. )
