Six hundred and seventy-fourth crusade against Dongwu survivors (below)
It is really too short of population. The entire Myanmar has a population of less than two million and cannot develop too many areas.
Xiao Ruxun didn't want to waste the precious Han people's labor to do the rough work of opening mountains and clearing land, so he could only set his goal on the remnants of Dongyu who had been restless. If they were not destroyed, they would be like someone else sleeping soundly beside the bed. How could he bear it?
However, since ancient times, marching and fighting against the country all require reasons, and Xiao Ruxun is no exception, and it also requires reasons. It did not exist before, but now it has it, and those missionaries are Xiao Ruxun's reasons.
Before leaving, Xiao Ruxun had already discussed the full set of response measures with Yuan Huang. Yuan Huang only needed to dispatch troops and generals as Xiao Ruxun had arranged before leaving.
Of course, there is one more thing to do before this.
"All the generals have come, and they all know the reason why I call you here. So I won't say much. The remnants of Dongwu Kingdom rebelled and killed the Franji people we sent, and raided our border guards. They acted boldly!
Before leaving, Xiao Hou ordered that once the remnants of Dongwu State rebelled, they must do their best to eliminate them without leaving any one of them out of the net to prevent future troubles. Now our army's total strength is 30,000, and three thousand garrisons are in Luzon, and three thousand soldiers followed Xiao Hou to fight against the Northern Territory. Now, the navy is excluding the navy, our army can use only 20,000 troops, and the number is too small. Therefore, Xiao Hou instructed that when there is insufficient force, the reserve service can be incorporated into the regular army and expand the army!"
With Yuan Huang's order, the generals of the four infantry camps began to be excited, because once the army was expanded, the main goal of expanding the army was their four Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Xuanwu.
In their opinion, for the cavalry, due to the number of horses and terrain limits of the Zhennan Army, three thousand cavalry are enough, and the two major cavalry battalions do not need to increase troops. The artillery battalions have their own system and have their own reserve artillery. They are trained separately from the infantry cavalry and are not in charge.
Therefore, this expansion of the army mainly involves expanding the four major battalions of the infantry.
Sure enough, Yuan Huang directly ordered.
"The four camps of the Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise will complete the task of expanding the army to 10,000 people within seven days. The military parade will be paraded early in the morning seven days later. I will see the 40,000 soldiers who can fight! Let's see if your daily training is really attentive!"
At the order of Yuan Huang, eight main generals of the four camps agreed in unison.
"The last general will receive the order!"
"The two cavalry warriors, Wolf and Crazy Lion battalions each expanded their troops to 2,500, and I will see 5,000 cavalry at that time!"
The infantry generals were stunned and looked at the four main generals of the cavalry. Seeing the four generals of the cavalry, they were excited. They obviously had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Sir, do we have so many war horses?"
Zhao Hu asked in confusion: "I usually ask them the cavalry battalion to use the horses and they are stingy."
Yuan Huang smiled slightly: "There were not many wealthy war horses at that time. Now, the day before yesterday, the first batch of war horses ordered by Mr. Xiao and Arab merchants had been shipped to the next level. Marquis Xiao decided to buy at least 10,000 war horses to expand the cavalry."
The generals of the infantry looked at each other and took a breath of air conditioning.
Ten thousand war horses! How much money does that cost?
But everyone never understands, does Myanmar need so many cavalry?
"The artillery camp followed Xiao Hou to the north and garrisoned one thousand troops in Luzon, and there were still three thousand left. It would be possible to expand the army to 5,000 within seven days, and there must be no mistakes!"
Shi Ke, deputy general of the artillery battalion, held his fists and took the order.
"Abide by the order!"
OK, the artillery battalion has also expanded, which means...
The Zhennan Army has expanded its troops in an all-round way and is about to fight a vibrant battle.
"We will not expand our army for three years, and we cannot wait for three years to become combat-effective. In the past, we have let the generals train more reserves. Do all the generals keep it in mind?"
The generals clasped their fists.
"Don't be wrong!"
Yuan Huang nodded.
"Okay! The army of 20,000 has expanded to 50,000. I don't want to see the army's combat effectiveness drop sharply. We are about to face a 100,000 military force and a million people. The size of the army will not be less than the regular army of the Dongwu Kingdom we dealt with at the beginning. Our army is also more numerous than before. But Xiao Hou cannot participate in this battle. Are the generals confident of winning this battle?"
The generals clasped their fists and shouted in unison: "Yes!"
"Okay! Raise troops for a thousand days and use troops for a while. The Ming and Xiao Hou need you now! You must be worthy of the military pay of the Ming Dynasty, the care and training of Xiao Hou, the country, and the taxes to support your people! Seven days later, the military parade in the west school camp in Nan'an City will go on a battle!"
"Abide by the order!"
The generals bowed with fists and then slowly withdrew from Zhennan Hou Mansion.
Looking at the generals' departure, Yuan Huang was not worried.
Although there was no command from Xiao Ruxun in this battle, the strength of Myanmar Town has far surpassed that of the Dongwu remnants. In Yuan Huang's view, those Dongwu remnants are the jumping clowns, and the organizational and combat effectiveness of the weapons and ordnance army are far inferior to the well-trained Zhennan Army.
After a combination of various situations, the military strength of the Zhennan Army was crushing against the remains of Dongwu, and there was no possibility of any mistake. Once the war started, it would inevitably be like a broken bamboo and destroy them soon.
What's more, the Zhennan Army has been planning this battle for a long time, and has conducted detailed investigations and demonstrations on their terrain and garrisons and troops that can be mobilized. It has almost considered all these, so it is determined to win this battle.
The only thing you need to worry about now is the issue of post-war prisoners arrangement. Although you have already planned how to place these prisoners and how to maximize their labor and then send them to death, it still takes some trouble to actually operate.
But these are no longer the most important issues. The most important thing is that this battle has become a foregone conclusion. They must be destroyed and the last hidden danger of Myanmar town is eliminated.
After three years of sharpening the sword, he once drew the sword. He shouldered Xiao Ruxun's unparalleled trust and ambitions. Yuan Huang could not allow himself to make any mistakes. He had to master and plan everything well.
He even felt that his current situation was a bit similar to Zhuge Liang at the time, but Xiao Ruxun was much more powerful than Liu Chan. But now he was not here. Isn’t he just Zhuge Liang who has a comprehensive view of military and political power?
He never thought before that he could become a person like Zhuge Wuhou like this, in charge of tens of thousands of troops to fight against the enemy, realize his life value ideals, and realize his commitment to those he trusts.
This feeling is really special!
Yuan Huang silently opened the box on the table in front of him, and the seven jade talismans from the army were arranged neatly in the box. They were the tokens of the army left by Xiao Ruxun to Yuan Huang and were a symbol of military power.
How could I not work hard for him with such trust and entrusting to me?
I am in my sixties and have no other wish in my life. I just want to leave a rich mark in history books and be worthy of his entrustedness.
Chapter completed!
