Ming politicians

No matter how you analyze it, there is no way to conceal the fact that the Jiangning Camp is about to go on an expedition. This aspect is also what Su Tiancheng is most concerned about. Judging from the information obtained by Qu Qingze, Hou Jin's Huang Taiji is also well prepared. After the Crown Prince, they did not relax their defensive deployment. The post-Gold Tartars in Haizhou, Yaozhou, Haizhou, Guangning, Xipingbao and other places have formed a whole and formed a solid line of defense. Any point encountered For the attack, reinforcements will be provided from other places, and corresponding adjustments will be made, including the Houjin Tartars stationed in Shenyang and Liaoyang, who will also respond.

The second is the Mongolian Eight Banners.

The situation in the Mongolian grasslands is indeed changing. The good thing is that the original unbreakable alliance has been broken. Some grassland tribes have changed their strategies and began to rely on the Xibe and Daur tribes. In fact, they have taken refuge in the Ming court. , but another kind of change also exists, that is, several major tribes began to form a group. Under the leadership of Hou Jin, they began to integrate the Eight Banners of Mongolia, including the Horqin tribe, the "Cha" Han tribe, and the Khalkha tribe. Tribes, etc., this makes the fighting power of the Mongolian Eight Banners even stronger, and can rush to support Houjin at any time.

In terms of geographical location, if the Ming court could not completely defeat the Houjin Tartars, the grassland tribes would have to attach themselves to the Houjin Tartars. Recently, to form an alliance, first of all, force is needed as a guarantee. Just imagine, if Houjin is weak, such an alliance cannot be established.

If the Ming court wiped out the Houjin Tartars, the Mongolian grasslands would naturally make a choice.Those tribes who wanted to take advantage of the troubled waters must have suffered a heavy blow.

So, Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning battalion, including the frontier army in Liaodong.Facing two armies, the Manchu Eight Banners, Han Eight Banners stationed in Haizhou and Guangning, and the Mongolian Eight Banners stationed in the grasslands, the combat effectiveness of the two armies is not weak.

The wing room of the governor's mansion.

Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Bi Maokang, and Qu Qingze were all in the room, plus Su Tiancheng, this was the highest command of the Jiangning Battalion.In addition to these people, two other people also came to Dengzhou, Lu Xiangsheng, governor of Liaodong, and Qin Liangyu, governor of Datong.

With such a situation, needless to say, it was time to discuss the matter of the Golden Tartars after the conquest. [

The map has already been laid on the ground, and some marks have been made on it.After such a long time of preparation.The scouts had long drawn detailed maps of Liaodong, Dengzhou, Xuanzhou, Haizhou, Shenyang and other places.

Su Tiancheng stood in the middle of the map.Point to the cities on the map with the wooden stick in your hand.

"Everyone, this is the strategic decisive battle between my Great Ming Dynasty and the Houjin Tartars, which is different from previous conquests. The purpose of this time is to completely wipe out the Houjin Tartars. Today we are here to discuss the detailed battle plan. Once the battle After the plan is clarified, the Liaodong Frontier Army and the Datong Frontier Army must start conquests in accordance with the requirements of the plan. The specific deployment of the battle can be determined by yourself, and the Governor's Office does not make unified requirements. But the deployment of the campaign cannot be modified, and it is also What cannot be shaken, no matter what the situation is, even if the court has other requirements, it cannot be shaken, and the orders of the emperors outside will not be affected. Our expedition deployment cannot be disturbed in any way. During this period, the Jiangning Camp , Liaodong Frontier Army, and Datong Frontier Army, all adjustment matters are suspended, if the imperial court transfers or adjusts candidates, they may not follow orders and come to me."

"I would like to emphasize the time requirement. From August this year to five months from the end of the year, we must break through the defense lines of Haizhou and Guangning. They will be completely wiped out by us, or they will be withdrawn. From the beginning of next year to June next year, we must take Shenyang in half a year. From July next year to the end of next year, we must regain the back All territories occupied by the Golden Tatars shall be completely destroyed by the latter Golden Tartars."

"The overall time requirement is one and a half years. I don't like to repeat what I say, but I still want to emphasize that in this one and a half years, unless you have made military exploits and promoted officers, all other adjustments will be suspended. The adjustment and appointment are subject to the imperial edict issued by the Governor's Office."

"You have all seen the overall deployment of the campaign, and you know the details, so I won't repeat it. I have had two days to think about it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them so that we can further improve the deployment. Hong My lord, please emphasize the relevant deployment."

After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Hong Chengchou looked at the crowd and spoke first.

"Everyone, the Houjin Tatars have also made all the preparations for this conquest. The Houjin Tatars who gathered in Haizhou and other places have the Xiangbai Banner and Xianglan Banner among the Eight Banners, and the Han Eight Banners. The Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner, Zhenghong Banner, and Xianghong Banner have a total force of 10. The Houjin Tartars gathered in Guangning and other places have the Zhengbai Banner and Xianghong Banner among the Eight Banners, and the Zhengbai Banner among the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. The White Banner, Xiangbai Banner, Zhenglan Banner, Xianglan Banner, and part of the Han Army have a total strength of 12. In addition, Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner, and Zhenghuang Banner are stationed in Shenyang and Liaoyang. The blue flag, and the reorganized Zhenghong flag, have a total strength of nearly 10 troops. Almost all of Houjin's more than [-] troops are gathered in these places. Shenyang, Haizhou, and Guangning have formed a triangle , echoing each other from a distance. From this perspective, Hou Jin is fully prepared."

When Hong Chengchou was speaking, Su Tiancheng handed the wooden stick in his hand to Hong Chengchou. Hong Chengchou held the wooden stick, pointed at the map, and said the military deployment of Houjin.

"After the conquest of the Golden Tartars, your lord has made a request. The overall deployment cannot be shaken. The purpose of the army's conquest is to wipe out the Golden Tartars. Judging from the deployment of combat power, our army does not have the upper hand. The Jiangning battalion soldiers in Dengzhou, Fuzhou and other places have a total strength of about 10, the Liaodong frontier army and Yulin battalion soldiers have a total strength of about 8, and the Datong frontier army has a total strength of about 6. That is to say, our army can mobilize a total of 24 troops, and we must rely on these 24 troops to wipe out Houjin's 30 troops."

"Judging from the deployment of the Houjin Tatars, Shenyang, Guangning, and Haizhou seem to form a whole, but there are opportunities to take advantage of it. I personally think that the defense of the Houjin Tatars The key forces are still placed on Shenyang and Guangning. This is also for a reason. Once we take Guangning and cross the Liaohe River, we can directly attack Shenyang and then block it. But after we take Haizhou, The post-gold Tatars stationed in Liaoyang will definitely resist desperately to prevent us from attacking Shenyang."

"Analysed from the geographical location and the distance of the roads, Shenyang is much closer to Liaoyang, and the distance to Haizhou and Guangning is about the same. This also enables the post-gold tartars to take care of each other and make overall plans."

"Under such circumstances, it must have increased the difficulty of our conquest. Your lord has already done an analysis. Only by attacking from three directions can we make better breakthroughs. This will make it difficult for the Hou Jin Tartars to take care of both ends. The Liaodong frontier army launched an attack from the direction of Guangning, and the Datong frontier army, with the assistance of the Xibe and Daur tribes, launched an attack from the grassland direction to contain the Eight Banners of Mongolia. Our three-way attack can be coordinated and attack It can really play a role in the pain of the post-Gold Tartars."

"The offensive that started in August will focus on the direction of Haizhou, and the heavy responsibility of the offensive will be undertaken by the Jiangning Battalion. The offensive in the direction of Haizhou must wipe out the living forces of the Houjin Tartars, and we must not let the Houjin Tartars calm down. The retreat and occupation of the city is not our main purpose. During the Jiangning Battalion's attack on Haizhou, they will be stationed in Guangning and the Houjin Tartars. It is very likely that reinforcements will be added. This requires the Liaodong frontier army to seize the opportunity and launch an attack. , if they can occupy Guangning in one fell swoop with the reinforcements of the Houjin Tartars, it will be the greatest credit. The Liaodong Frontier Army has occupied Guangning, and the Shenyang Houjin Tartars will not dare to attack in an all-round way, otherwise they will not be able to keep it. Shenyang, they may not be able to bear such a loss."

"According to the overall deployment of the campaign, the time for the Liaodong frontier army to launch an offensive is from September to October, and it will take three to four months to recover all the places east of the Liaohe River." [

"The Datong Frontier Army must contain the Eight Mongolian Banners. They cannot allow the Eight Mongolian Banners to enter Guangning, Haizhou, Shenyang and other places to fight. The grassland tribes are suspicious. If the sergeants of the Mongolian Eight Banners are restrained, they will not dare to enter Shenyang and other places. Considering the terrain of the grassland, the Datong frontier army should act earlier. Our suggestion is that it is enough to leave [-] sergeants in Datong to guard, and the rest of the sergeants, All into the grassland."

"Soldiers and horses go first before using food and grass. In terms of logistics, we must make sufficient preparations. The conquest in a year and a half, with a 24 army, consumes a lot. The overall combat deployment must not be caused by problems with food and grass. There is a mistake, and I want to emphasize that the overall deployment time of the campaign is one and a half years. We should not lose our determination to conquer because of a certain battle defeat. In any case, our purpose is clear, which is to completely wipe out the aftermath Golden Tartar."

After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, he looked at Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu.

Su Tiancheng then spoke.

"The overall deployment of the battle, Mr. Hong emphasized that the deployment of this battle cannot be discussed. The Jiangning Battalion, the Liaodong Frontier Army and the Datong Frontier Army, including the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe, must all be carried out according to the overall combat deployment. , the determination cannot be shaken, if someone shakes the morale of the army, no matter how high his status is, the Governor's Office will not lightly forgive him, and he will definitely enforce the military law."

"During the battle, Lord Lu and Lord Qin independently commanded the army to fight. In principle, the Governor's Office will not intervene in specific battles. Only when major changes are involved will they issue orders. Let us work together to completely wipe out the Houjin Tartar."
