golden scales

After Zhu Cihong received the secret report from Song Hongye and Zuo Shouyi, he finally realized that special operations in this era were still too crude.

Unlike the special forces of later generations who can pile up firepower, current weapon technology determines the limitation that fewer people must have weak firepower.Therefore, Zuo Shouyi trained for such a long time, but in the end he could only use cold knives in the wild, which was somewhat different from the "surgery-like precise beheading" envisioned.

However, if you can seize the opportunity, destroy the Qing army's logistics system, and launch a counterattack in a timely manner, you will definitely receive excellent results.

Zhu Cihong's reply to Song Hongye only had four words: "Be careful."

There is a certain delay lag in logistical impact to the front.For example, according to the logistics system of the Ming army, if someone cut off the food road in the back, the food stored in the front army would be enough for half a month.As long as the grain road can be regained control within five days, it will hardly be affected significantly.

However, the logistics system of the Ming army was improved by Zhu Cihong based on the modern logistics theory, which replaced the old-fashioned thinking of storing grain in one place with multiple points of storage and nearby transshipment.If Hong Chengchou hadn't learned the lesson of Songshan's defeat, and still kept the army's food in one place, let alone support for half a month, as long as the news leaked, the army's morale would be shaken immediately.

Hong Chengchou really didn't think about the way of dispersing the grain storage. The way he learned his lesson was to send more soldiers to protect the grain platform.This choice of putting eggs in one basket, on the one hand, is difficult to find suitable food storage areas, and on the other hand, multiple food storage areas require more soldiers to disperse and protect them. From the perspective of traditional military strategists, it is a waste of troops. Stupid behavior.

From the perspective of human resources, when there are more food storage points, the level of the person in charge will also drop.No one can believe that a general can always have the same ability and sense of responsibility as a lieutenant general.

The regulatory construction of the East Palace will eliminate this problem invisible.Whether it is a second lieutenant or a major general, regardless of the difference in their sense of voluntary responsibility, they must strictly abide by the regulations.In fact, Zhu Cihong only needs obedient and well-behaved people.As for whether you have a high sense of responsibility, this belongs to the category of icing on the cake.

On July 18, 18th year of Chongzhen, Zhending Xingyuan held a military meeting.The staff of the Fourth Headquarters of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the First Division of the Guards, and the Second Battalion of the Guards all attended the meeting to discuss, and finally decided to launch a summer offensive in August [-]. The strategic goal is to recover Baoding Mansion and Tianjin Wei, and completely crush the Qing army. Tianbao defense line.

The reason why Zhu Cihong dared to go against the norm at this time.Such a big move was made because two points in this war have been leveraged.

First of all, after Kong Youde "surrendered", Wu Sangui had doubts about whether he would continue to work for the Qing court.Compared with Kong Youde, the sinner of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui is simply a patriotic young man.He was nothing more than letting the Qing army enter the customs, but at that time the main enemy was rebellion, at most it was a mistake in decision-making, and he was deceived by the cunning slaves, which could not be regarded as betraying the country and surrendering to the enemy.

After entering the customs, Wu Sangui has been fighting against Chuangni.Refusing to confront the officers and soldiers of the imperial court is also well-known, so as long as you bribe the speech, it may not be possible to reduce the crime.

Wu Sangui initially thought that the Qing army was strong and it would be easy to sweep the world.Now it seems that the Qing army is actually not much stronger. Compared with the continuous national support provided by the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army is simply a tree without roots and water without a source.According to Wu Sangui.If you cannot reach Jiangnan within three to six months after entering the customs, you should take the initiative to leave the customs.Rest and recuperate, plan to come again.

The Manchu dignitaries were like wolfhounds that had bitten their meat, refusing to let go, and the result was hard to say.

"When I was outside the customs, I heard a story." Wu Sangui sat in the big tent of the army with more than ten generals.They are all old people from the Wu family, and they are also the backbone of the Guangning Army.

"A butcher came home at night and passed by a forest. He felt very tired, so he hung the unsold meat on the tree with an iron hook. He planned to pick it up early in the morning and go to the city to sell it." Wu Sangui said slowly: "Who Knowing that he came to see the next morning, where was the meat hanging on the tree? It was clearly a wolf."

"It turned out that the wolf was attracted by the anger of flesh and jumped up to eat the meat, but he didn't want to be caught in the mouth by the hook. He didn't eat the meat, but sent a good skin to the butcher instead." After Wu Sangui finished speaking, he laughed first. .

Seeing the prince laughing, all the generals joined in to cheer, their hearts were already like a mirror.Back then, Daming was like that stupid and lazy butcher who easily hung the national treasure on the tree.Man Qing is like that greedy wolf.And the iron hook that catches the Qing Dynasty is the wealthy country in the pass.

This story just said that the Qing government should abandon the pass, so as not to stretch the front line too long and be defeated due to insufficient troops.And the meaningful laughter at the end was to tell everyone: Master is not serving you anymore.

Of course Wu Sangui hopes to return to western Liaoning, where his roots lie.Especially this time, if the Manchu Qing government withdraws from the customs, there will inevitably be internal turmoil.The so-called slaves are strong and masters are weak. As Shunzhi grows up day by day, this turmoil will eventually turn into internal strife.This undoubtedly gave the Liaoxi general a chance to come back to life, and maybe he could fight back to Liaodong.

However, the Ming court probably won't agree, so now they have to base themselves in Shaanxi, and when the time comes to bring Shaanxi province back to Daming, not only are they not sinners, they are also heroes.If it works properly, it might be possible to emulate the Duke of Qian, the Mu family, and live forever in Shaanxi for generations, no worse than Feng Wang.

It's just that it's hard for Wu Sangui to imagine that Jin Yiwei, who had never been ordered to leave the capital, would now stretch out his tentacles so long.After he entered the Qin Dynasty, he naturally recruited local people from Shaanxi as his staff. Most of these people were unwilling scholars, and it didn't matter whether they were loyal to Ming Dynasty, Dashun, or Qing Dynasty.Who would have thought that Jin Yiwei had recruited such a group of scholars, and some of them were the victims who were coerced by the crown prince back then.

Although these scholars were not trusted in the shogunate of the Qing army, and no one regarded them as high-ranking officials, most of the documents between the army and the DPRK were copied and even drafted by these people. This is definitely first-hand information.Many documents were directly copied in two copies, one was sent to Beijing and the other was sent to Jinyiwei.

Later generations passed down the miraculous Jinyiwei. At first, they were guards of honor, personal soldiers, and thugs... Later, the power of detectives was added, and they all handled cases according to orders, and they were deflected with the direction of the wind.In the six years of Ming Dynasty 270, there were only a handful of Jinyiwei commanders who were able to guarantee the independence of Jinyiwei and were not ordered by the middle officials of the East Factory.

Zhu Cihong was the first to know that the real Jin Yiwei was so useless, and he was really depressed for a long time.

The current Jinyiwei who stretches out his tentacles like a legend, one is Zhu Cihong's foresight and foresight, and he is willing to support him.On the other hand, thanks to Xu Dun.This kind of character that is naturally keen to lurk in the dark and spy on everyone's secrets is not something that normal people will have.

Thanks to the hard work of the Jinyiwei Shaanxi Institute, Wu Sangui's thoughts were quickly delivered to Zhu Cihong's hands.Jin Yiwei and the Military Intelligence Department of the General Staff analyzed this intelligence and believed that: Wu Sangui has the heart of disobedience, but it is not easy for him to change his banner.

Wu Sangui is a character who does not see the rabbit and does not cast the eagle. He has always been cautious and afraid of death.Perhaps because of this talent, he was able to escape in all previous battles.Although he killed countless comrades in arms, he was always safe and sound.Thinking back to the time when he led less than thirty cavaliers to the Qing army camp to rescue his father Wu Xiang, who would have thought that it was the same person before and after.

If the Qing court draws troops from the western front again at this time, it may stimulate Wu Sangui to directly change the banner.The situation in Shanxi is also unclear, and Duoduo is still struggling to find a way to forcefully cross the Hutuo River.So Dorgon couldn't concentrate all his troops to attack the northern front unless he was willing to spit out the meat that was in his mouth.

Even if Dorgon really has the determination of a strong man to cut his wrists, Zhu Cihong still has a second insurance.

Liaodong.

Chen De's department has already made preparations for crossing the sea. The first batch of 3000 people will sail east to Phi Island in early August to build a fort.The next day, the second batch of landing troops will land on Kashima under the leadership of Chief of Staff Wei Yun and establish an observation post.Then occupied the Liaohai Islands from far to near, hoarded resources, accepted Liao people, and carried out military work on Liaodong.

If Dorgon really wanted to fight Zhu Cihong in Beizhi with all his troops, Chen De would immediately attack Lushun and Kuandian, remove the Qing army garrisons in North Korea, and then go all the way north to Shenyang.

"What if Jiannu don't even want their old lair? If they trade the land in the pass for the backcountry of Liaodong, wouldn't they still make money?" Someone whispered. (To be continued..)
