Ming politicians

The improved Red Clothes Cannon, General Cannon, and Tiger Crouching Cannon developed by Bi Maokang were finally transported secretly to Kuizhou.

The terrain of Sichuan is special. Strictly speaking, the role of firearms is not too great, but it is impossible without firearms, especially in large-scale attacks, the role of firearms is very important.

After analyzing the strategies of Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji, Su Tiancheng had to make corresponding plans.

According to his previous considerations, exterminating the rogues is a relatively long-term process. If the rogues retreat into the mountains, the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp will never relax. Well, the rogue bandits have rebelled for more than ten years, causing immeasurable losses to Daming. This situation absolutely cannot continue. The interior of Daming must be stable.

Now, after analyzing Li Zicheng's plan, Su Tiancheng is about to gamble.

It is necessary to set up a good posture, so that Li Zicheng thinks that the Jiangning battalion has been fooled. This kind of strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, to put it bluntly, is to attract all the troops out, and then go straight to the Huanglong to decide the world in one fell swoop.

At this time, the role of artillery is very huge.

If His Royal Highness is guarding Fengjie County, the rogues can launch an attack by land and water, and directly attack the city at all costs. The momentum of this kind of attack is huge, which is unimaginable for ordinary people. role is very important.

As long as it can attract the main force of the rogues, the risk and gamble are worth it.

Of course, the most important part of this plan lies with the crown prince Zhu Cihong.

Su Tiancheng didn't want Zhu Cihong to take risks. He would stay in Fengjie County and attract the army of rogues himself.

The autumn harvest season is here and the farmers are starting to harvest the crops.At this time, the governments in various places are also the busiest, and they have to take advantage of the autumn harvest to collect taxes, so that the possibility of receiving taxes is greater.

Neither the Jiangning camp nor the rogue bandits moved.

The two sides are surprisingly consistent.No one harassed Qiu Harvest.

The rogues didn't move, and Su Tiancheng admired it a little. It seemed that Li Zicheng also knew how to protect the interests of the common people. If the war started during the autumn harvest, the common people would suffer the most.

The autumn harvest lasted for half a month, and God was also very funny, it was always sunny.

In late July, the autumn harvest in Sichuan is basically over.

A crucial meeting is held.

Zhu Cihong, Su Tiancheng, Hong Chengchou, Qin Sande, Sun Chuanting, Xiong Zijian, Qu Qingze and others all attended the meeting.

The meeting was held in the barracks of Jiangning Camp.

Everyone understands that the decisive battle is about to begin.

Hong Chengchou first pointed to the map.A detailed analysis of the distribution of the rogue troops and the number of personnel was carried out. Based on this analysis, the deployment of the Jiangning Battalion, Baigan soldiers, and Baoning Guard sergeants was proposed. Baoning is responsible for the sergeant to handle the pass and prevent the rogues from fleeing on a large scale.

Hong Chengchou's speech lasted for half an hour.

should say.Such an arrangement had been considered by him long ago.I have also discussed with Su Tiancheng many times.

After Hong Chengchou's report was over, Su Tiancheng signaled Qu Qingze to speak.

Qu Qingze stood up.

"His Royal Highness, Lord Su, my lords, the current intelligence shows that the bandits may have large-scale actions. Recently, the bandits have completely exposed their main force position, allowing us to grasp their deployment. If we follow the Based on the distribution of the rogue troops, make corresponding deployments. Launching an attack, such a battle is highly targeted, but the information we have is not the case."

Everyone seemed very surprised, but Su Tiancheng's expression was calm.

"Half a month ago, 500 people defected to the rogues. This was originally common news, but through analysis of various aspects, it shows that these 500 people are elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria after the Jin Dynasty."

Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting stood up in shock, and the rest of the people also turned pale. This information is too shocking.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Su Tiancheng spoke.

"I have known this information for a long time. After analyzing it, and after further investigation, it is basically confirmed that these 500 people are the most elite sergeants of the Eight Banners of Houjin Manchuria. There must be a reason for telling this matter today. Yes, everyone, don't be impatient, and listen to Mr. Qu."

After Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting sat down, Qu Qingze spoke again.

"The rogues have fought many times with the soldiers of our Jiangning battalion, and they have never won a victory. But why did they completely expose their positions, and even actively provoke them, as if they were afraid that our army would not know their existence? This is obviously counterintuitive. If we The army launched an attack, wouldn't the rogues be greatly passive."

"In the past month, the rogues secretly recruited ships and conducted a series of training, which shows that they have signs of launching an attack from the waterway. From the map, it is possible to attack by waterway in Baoning, Long'an, Tongchuan and other places. Sex is not big."

"Comprehensive intelligence analysis from all aspects, the current conclusion is that all the arrangements made by the rogues are for one purpose, and they want to harm His Highness the Crown Prince."

There was a deathly silence in the room, and most of the people present here were veterans, and they already understood what Qu Qingze meant.

After Qu Qingze finished speaking, Su Tiancheng stood up and spoke slowly.

"The situation Mr. Qu mentioned is exactly our final analysis. Let's see, if the rogues besiege Kuizhou, they can use land and water. Relatively speaking, the waterway is much faster and has great concealment. The rogues know They are not the opponents of the Jiangning camp, but they are unwilling to be wiped out, so what can be done, the best way is to target His Royal Highness, as long as His Royal Highness is hurt, all our plans will be in vain, and we will be a complete failure .”

"The rogues keep exposing their position. To put it bluntly, they are diverting the tiger away from the mountain. After the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion left the Kuizhou Mansion and entered the Baoning Mansion, the rogues left a small part of their troops to deal with them. The rest of the main force tried their best to attack the Kuizhou Mansion. The battle was dangerous. The rogues naturally thought that His Royal Highness must be in the city of Kuizhou, and the number of soldiers left in the city of Kuizhou would not be many, not more than 10. According to my estimation, their force to attack the city of Kuizhou may even reach [-] people."

"The rogues are gambling. Gambling can capture the capital of Kuizhou. If this step is not done well, they also know that they will not escape the fate of destruction. But if they succeed, they can get rid of the crisis and grow rapidly. In turn, Jiang Ning The battalion will suffer a heavy blow, or even be devastated."

"If I were to wait, I would do the same."

"As for the five-hundred-year-old Jin Tartars, the purpose is the same. What is the role of the elite in the army? To take the head of a general from among thousands of troops is considered an elite. The real elite, don't underestimate this. 500 people, as for whether there is any collusion between the rogue bandits and the Houjin Tartars, there is no need to worry about this, there is no such possibility."

"It can only be said that Huang Taiji and Li Zicheng have the same ideas. Don't underestimate such a plan. This is a plan that can truly defeat the Jiangning camp."

"Since Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji have such an idea and have made arrangements, we want our family to use it."

"Lord Hong just made the corresponding deployments, and these deployments will be carried out accordingly. What needs to be changed is that all soldiers must be prepared to endure hardships. They may march nearly a thousand miles a day, and they must be able to start battles immediately. All our actions must be Realistic, to ensure that the rogues will be fooled, gather a large army to attack Kuizhou Mansion."

"His Royal Highness leads the army to fight, but the itinerary needs to be strictly kept secret. I will complete the task of waiting for the city of Kuizhou. Ten thousand soldiers are enough. We must convince the rogues that His Royal Highness is still in the city of Kuizhou. The key to exterminating the bandits this time is because the matter is of great importance, so I only said it today, please forgive me."

Just as Su Tiancheng finished speaking, a somewhat immature voice came out.

"Lord Su, I don't agree with such an arrangement. Since the rogue bandits and Houjin tartars are targeting me, I will stay here in Fengjie City and not go anywhere. I want to see how powerful the rogue bandits are."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince can't do this. This is definitely not a child's play. If something happens to His Highness the Crown Prince, I will die."

"I know Master Su's arrangement, and I know even more that it is very dangerous to stay in the city, but as the prince, I can escape at such a critical moment. I will never do such a thing, who said It's no use either."

Su Tiancheng was speechless for a while, unexpectedly at this time, Zhu Cihong was so stubborn, if he had known earlier, he would not have asked Zhu Cihong to participate in this discussion.

But Zhu Cihong has changed a lot, and he is making great strides towards the direction Su Tiancheng hoped for. The idea of ​​allowing Zhu Cihong to participate in this meeting is also based on the overall situation.

Hong Chengchou then spoke.

"My lord, I think that my lord should not be stationed in the city. This matter should be done by my lord. If my lord has any accidents, it's not a big problem. My lord can't have any accidents."

After saying this, Hong Chengchou saluted Zhu Cihong.

"His Royal Highness is concerned with the safety of my Ming Dynasty, and I must not risk it. I think what Master Su said is reasonable."

"Don't listen or not, don't talk about it, I have already decided."

At this point, it's useless to say anything.

The danger definitely exists. If this prediction is accurate, the rogues will recklessly attack the capital of Kuizhou. No matter how much the price is paid, as long as they can take down the capital of Kuizhou in a short period of time, they will gain complete freedom. The victory, the price paid is not worth mentioning.

Su Tiancheng made the final decision.

"His Royal Highness is sticking to Kuizhou's prefecture. I admire him very much, and he cannot go against His Royal Highness' original intention."

A smile appeared on Zhu Cihong's face.

Su Tiancheng spoke to Hong Chengchou and others.

"Everyone is acting according to the pre-arrangement. I will accompany His Highness the Crown Prince and stay in the city of Kuizhou." (To be continued...)
