Chapter 537 Strike direction
When I arrived at the barracks, it was still very popular, but the scale of the barracks had significantly expanded.
Mao Zhongming introduced to Zhao Xing: "According to the preparations of our uncle to fight, without shaking our foundation and not competing for labor with various factories, my nephew expanded each battalion to 20,000, plus the assistance. Now we have a large army of 100,000. They are all fully equipped with well-trained and well-equipped. There is no need to mention the equipment. All the original bows, arrows, swords and guns have been eliminated and replaced with flintlocks.
At the same time, based on the experience of the last battle of Daling River, my nephew also specially formed a separate artillery battalion, with 10,000 people and horses and 1,000 artillery pieces, and most of the equipment was flowering bullets. Now that the enemy dared to launch a group charge against us again, I would give them a fire hell."
"Okay, okay, this army has truly entered the level of modernization and has truly become a hot army. I feel relieved."
After inspecting the logistics and troops and local civil affairs, Zhao Xing felt confident.
So he held a meeting of all the important officials in Dongjiang Town in the headquarters that he had been keeping for him.
Dongjiang Town is now really full of strong troops and talents.
In the first few years, there were only five or six people who could sit in this lobby. But now, it was a crowd of darkness, which made people excited to see it.
The conference was of course opened by Zhao Xing: "Liu Guangzhi, now the court officially appointed you as the governor of Liaonan."
As soon as these words were said, Liu Guangzhi was stunned at the time, but then he stomped his feet excitedly.
The reason for being stunned was that the area under the control of the southern Liao governor was still in the hands of the Jurchens, and he was actually an empty name.
But in a blink of an eye, he realized that Lord Zhao was about to compete with the Jurchens for southern Liaoning.
"Since the court appointed Lord Liu, as the governor of southern Liaoning, our Dongjiang Town must set up a yamen station for him in southern Liaoning. Otherwise, our former parents were promoted to the top, but they had a kitchen prince on their calves and moved their houses, so our Dongjiang Town would have no face, right?"
After saying this, all the soldiers immediately shouted excitedly.
"Of course, the meal needs to be eaten one bite by one, so let's just complain to our Governor Liu, and set up your Governor's Office in Lushun first."
Then I walked to the map, pointed to the narrow place on the Liaodong Peninsula, and said in a heavy heart: "Nanguan is the place where our father General Zhang Pan from Dongjiang Town died for his country. So, I am going to choose here for our first battle against Liaodong. First, I am comforting my ancestors, and the most important thing is to pinch the waist of this bee. As long as I occupy this place, in the vast area of the southeast, it will be our pockets. Then we can use this as a springboard, and we will step on the road and start an attack on Liaonan."
This choice was welcomed by all the soldiers.
Now the heads of the four battalions are all looking at their masters eagerly, eager to try this task. They fired the first shot to counterattack Liaodong, and this will be the celebrity in the Qing Dynasty.
The veteran general Liu Guangzuo stood up and asked loudly: "I didn't get a fight last time, this time I must have."
Zhao Xing nodded and shook his head again. This made everyone very confused.
"The veteran general's battle path is steady, good at defending but not attacking. This time the mission is not suitable for you."
Mao Zhongming immediately stood up: "My camp is strong and powerful, so he will do his best."
Zhao Xing nodded again and shook his head again: "Your battalion has a strong combat power, which is obvious to all. But as the deputy commander, you should not move easily."
Mao Kexi stood up and Mao Youde gave him a direct look: "Little thing, it's not your turn."
Mao Kexi looked at the second uncle and could only stubbornly stubbornly, but did not dare to refute: "It's not my turn, my grandfather has the final say."
Zhao Xing laughed: "What your second uncle said is really right. It's not your turn to do this. I chose Mao Youde, the camp leader who went to the expedition this time."
Now, Mao Youde only had a black grin left.
"Do you know why?"
Everyone was puzzled, because they never thought that Zhao Xing handed over the first battle of the counterattack, the first battle that he had to win, to this Qingtiaoqing.
"The one who guards Nanguan now is a Niulu from the Qing Dynasty, and the others are Li Yongfang's Han army flag and a Jiale."
Now, in order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Han Eight Banners, Huang Taiji, especially the restless young people among the Han people, were incorporated into the army to control it. Therefore, the number of people in each unit of the Han Eight Banners is three times that of the Jurchen Eight Banners.
For example, the Jiale stationed in Nanguan has a total of 7,500 people.
Such a huge number is enough to offset the lack of combat effectiveness of the Han people.
As for military expenditure, does the traitor's team need military expenditure?
If these Han Eight Banners make them charge into battle, there is no expectation. They will start a battle in the endless plain. Everyone understands that these Han Eight Banners can collapse in a blink of an eye, run away and be thrown into the opposite team.
But if they are trapped in the city, supervised by the Eight Banners, and guarded, they still have absolute combat power.
"I just want a fierce general who rushes to attack Nanguan with the force of Mount Tai to attack Mount Nanguan. Not only do I have to send all the Dezi battalions, but I also want to strengthen all our artillery battalions to him to form an absolute strike force."
All the generals looked at the proud Mao Youde, whose eyes were full of envy.
"It was in this battle that I used the sky-high artillery fire and fierce attacks to capture Nanguan in one battle to shock the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han and make him tremble in front of us."
"Sir, this is momentum. Our first battle must be powerful." Liu Guangzuo understood Zhao Xing's good intentions.
"Uncle, don't worry, I must attack with caution this time, never be reckless, I will succeed in the battle, and never make any mistakes."
"No, you haven't understood me yet, with your purpose."
Mao Youde was a little confused.
"You are a knife from our Dongjiang Town, slashing and killing. Don't play any conspiracies or tricks for me."
Mao Youde scratched his head and giggled: "I can't even let me play with it."
"By the way, I'm interested in you, I don't know how to fight and rush. I just want you to use the human sea tactics. Even if you fill in, you have to fill in the momentum. I just want to use this momentum to make the enemy frightened."
Mao Youde was overjoyed at the time: "My brothers are all desperate, which is exactly what we like. Don't worry, uncle, I will never let an enemy escape from heaven."
"You're wrong again."
Zhao Xing's repeated refutation of this powerful general's determination really made everyone a little confused and confused.
"I don't want to capture prisoners, but it doesn't mean I won't let those fish that escape." Then I looked at the generals present with puzzled faces.
Chapter completed!
