When they saw the emperor, the foreman did not object, and the ministers knew that the suggestions of these two were probably communicated with them in advance, and some Manchu and Han officials who had always been known for their integrity also gave in.

Agui nodded, "This matter will be fully responsible by the general manager of Tongzhou Daying, Eledenbao, and the Ministry of Revenue will assist in handling it. It will be five days at the latest and three days are the best."

(Gyeonggi-gu canal ships are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue)

Eledenbao, Dong Gao quickly stepped out of the line and replied: "As for orders"

"Slow!"

Fu Kang'an suddenly came out, and Agui frowned, "Yao Lin, why didn't you say anything about it just now?"

Fu Kangan said, "Sir, I'm really sorry. It's not that I don't understand the rules, but that I suddenly thought of something just now."

"Tell me"

"Yes. I think, before making a decision, will we make a judgment on the next action of the barbarian thief?"

"What do you think"

Fu Kangan is in his thirties. His long military career, especially those who crossed the Himalayas to attack Kargu, did not cause any wind and frost on his face. He still has fair face and speaks neither humble nor arrogantly. Hongli values ​​imagery. Therefore, Heshen (also a handsome guy) is deeply favored.

Over the years, Fu Kang'an has participated in almost all the wars of the Qing Dynasty, and he defeated the many with fewer defeats. Especially the surprise attack on Karkau was rumored to be a good story. At that time, he only brought two thousand Soron soldiers. The Soron soldiers had excellent physical fitness and could cross a dangerous place like the Himalayas.

But Fu Kangan, as a rich young man, was particularly eye-catching. Moreover, his figure was active in the battlefields of Kohan, Kyrgyzstan, Jinchuan, and Bailian Sect, but he was unscathed, which made Hongli think that he was a blessing general of heaven.

In fact, Fu Kangan obviously has military capabilities no less than the famous generals of the previous dynasty. In the past, Wang Xuance was able to attack India not because of his own military capabilities, but because of his verbal slander. But Fu Kangan obviously was not like this. He was made with one sword and one shot.

"The emperor, the three princes, the great masters, and the empress dowagers think that we must judge what the intentions of the barbarian thieves are. On the surface, they are dispatched everywhere in Guangzhou, the estuary of the Yangtze River, the northeast, and the Western Regions, but the focus is still here"

"I'm afraid everyone has no objection to this, but when they were dispatched, there were very few more than three divisions. This time, there were 70,000 people in Tianjin, and there were at least four divisions. According to their practice, one division would be allowed to guard the camp when they were dispatched, so there were only three divisions they could dispatch."

"Three divisions, only three cavalry brigades, which is about 15,000 people, and the cavalry in our three camps combined has 30,000!"

"In addition to the 10,000 elite cavalry in the capital, this is 40,000. By the way, don't count on the cavalry of the alliances outside the pass. The barbarian thieves were in Khalkha. The arrangement of the northeast was obviously to restrain the troops under the jurisdiction of the alliances outside the pass and the three generals in the northeast."

"There are 50,000 infantry commanders in the yamen, of which 30,000 are trained all year round, 20,000 are idle at home, and 70,000 are in total. If the elites of the three camps are transferred back, it will be 160,000"

"Is 160,000 people enough to protect the capital? As far as I know, the outer city of the capital is 45 miles in a radius. If all 160,000 people were placed on the city wall, there would be about 3,000 people per rift, which seemed to be enough, but according to the way barbarian thieves attacked the city in the past, they would not attack the city like others."

"But see a section of the city wall to bomb the soldiers above, and then extend the firepower to the inside of the city wall, so that reinforcements cannot go up, and then they will climb onto the city wall in large quantities. Because their firepower is too dense and too strong, once they occupy a section of the city wall, they can extend out calmly"

"Sometimes, even a single day can occupy the entire city wall, and the guardian side will continue to invest troops in order to compete for the city wall. In the end, the barbarian thief soldiers consumed most of the soldiers who guarded the city before they even got down to the city."

"So, 160,000 troops seem to be a lot, but it is probably not enough to face an unheard of army like Truchen"

Hongli suddenly became interested.

"Yaolin, what should I do according to your opinion?"

Fu Kang'an fell to his knees.

"Emperor, if all the troops were gathered into the capital, I'm afraid they would have hit the barbarian thieves' plan. Their 70,000 troops seemed to be a lot, but they were very meager in the entire capital of the Qing Dynasty"

"The three camps are all elite. Once they are depleted, I'm afraid..."

"Your Majesty, what the slave said below may damage the power of heaven..."

"It's time, I promise you that you are innocent! Tell me quickly!"

"Yes, the emperor, although the Truqins are powerful, they obviously won't be able to join our Qing army. Nowadays, the country not only is it an enemy of our country, but also makes countless enemies in the West. It is said that they have about 60 reorganized divisions, with a total of about 900,000 people"

"It looks very scary, but in fact their territory is also very vast. The only ones that can be invested in our Qing Dynasty are the Kazakh Front, Bukhara Front, Hexian Town Front, and Indian Front, and they can only draw half of it at most"

"So, I guess that the power they can invest in our Qing Dynasty should not exceed fifteen divisions"

"Fifteen divisions, that is, 450,000 people, and 450,000 people, seem to be a lot, but it is not enough to spread to the vast territory of our Qing Dynasty"

"So, they wanted to carry out the 'decapitation operation'..."

"Decapitation?"

"Yes, the slaves have been in contact with him in the Western Regions for a period of time and have also talked about some military affairs. The so-called beheading operation, according to them, is to immediately kill or capture the enemy's head when the war begins, and put them in an unfavorable state of no heads in a group of dragons"

"Then we can slowly plan. Now they are stationed in Tianjin with heavy troops, obviously just rushing..."

Fu Kangan looked up at Hongli.

"I'm here for the emperor!"

Hongli seemed to have expected it and said lightly: "What's strange about this? Tell me your suggestions"

"Dongdong..."

Fu Kangan suddenly kowtowed suddenly, his forehead hit the ground directly, and blood oozed out of his forehead.

Hongli was moved, but was not moved by it.

"Hurry up and say your suggestions. As long as you are roughly appropriate, I will forgive you for not guilty!"

"Thank you, the emperor. I dared to suggest that at this moment, it is not about the battle to defend Beijing, but about making plans early. I suggest that the emperor should bring a prince to leave Beijing as soon as possible!"

As soon as these words came out, the noise in the hall became even louder. Even the Han civil servants who had never dared to provoke him stood up and scolded him.

The meaning is nothing more than, "What country is my Qing Dynasty? In the past, 100,000 troops conquered the entire Ming Dynasty. Now that the war has not officially started, we will hunt west and tour south?"

However, Fu Kang'an's voice still echoed in the hall.

"The emperor, with the understanding of the barbarian thieves, they control the estuary of the Yangtze River. Their intention is not simple. I am afraid that their next move is to take down Yangzhou and Zhenjiang, completely cut off the channels for money and food in the south of the Yangtze River, and covet Jiangning Prefecture at the same time."

"So, Jiangning City is obviously not suitable"

"In the Western Regions Hui tribe, it dispatched three divisions. Because it was close to its territory, the army could arrive continuously, so Xi'an City was not suitable"

"The Western Regions are cold and deserted, and the barbarian cavalry is very suitable, and our country does not have many troops there, and they have already taken down Tacheng, Yanqi City, Urumqi, Kashgar, Turpan City, and Hami City in danger."

"Therefore they can quickly reach the Hexi area through the Hexi Corridor. Once the Xi'an City is occupied by them, then..."

"The only place that can be used as a capital is now, that is, Chengdu, Sichuan. Although the warships of barbarians can also travel to Sichuan, the Three Gorges area is full of reefs and is not suitable for large ships to sail. The slave suggests that we should quickly imitate the blockage of the Haihe River and block some waterways in the Three Gorges section of the Yangtze River"

"According to my understanding, their large ships generally have deep drafts, all of which are more than one meter long. You can use huge rocks to block part of them as long as they do not affect the flow of the river."

"This matter needs to be implemented as soon as possible, and it will be completed before their eyes are still on Yangzhou, town generals, and Jiangning"

"As for how to implement it, I suggest that you just use gunpowder to blow up a section of the mountain"

"Sichuan is surrounded by mountains and steep mountains and waterways to the south. If the Three Gorges are blocked, the most advantageous warships of the barbarian thieves will be useless."

"Therefore, I suggest that Beijing City can be stationed by a prince. Jiangning City is larger than Beijing City. It cannot be abandoned easily. It can also be used as a barrier to Chengdu, so that the surrounding green camp soldiers can gather there in large numbers"

"You can also order a prince to garrison there to restrain the barbarian thieves' forces"

"The emperor brought a prince and some elite soldiers to Chengdu quickly! The emperor, the sea of ​​barbarian thieves, the water advantage is too great, and now he basically controls Khalkha and is about to enter the alliances outside the pass. With the troops from the returning troops, if he doesn't make plans earlier, the slaves will probably not be a month."

"The army in the north of their north will appear near the Great Wall in Beijing, and the army in the west will appear near Liangzhou. Most of the Alxa League in the north of the Hexi Corridor comes from the Heshuote tribe, and they are all Weila people. Nowadays, the thief chiefs are in the limelight and have a great appeal to the avant-garde Lat people."

"In addition to the Qinghai tribes, they may gather more than 100,000 troops from the west by then!"

"In addition to the water advantages, our country will be divided into two parts: north and south, and we will not be able to calmly dispatch it across the country, and we will not be able to give full play to our country's advantages of large population and vast territory."

"Is there any?" Hongli, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke. It was obvious that this time he did not deliberately lower his voice, but a faint tone of relief.

"Also. The barbarian thieves were obviously firing a shot in Guangzhou. I suggest that it is better to transfer all the troops and horses from Guangdong and Guangxi to the mountainous areas, especially Guangxi, where there are mountains everywhere. As long as you occupy a dangerous place, even the powerful barbarian thieves will be helpless."

"From Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan are all mountains, and they are extremely inconvenient to move. You can secretly hide some of the troops there. You can use this as a support to fight a protracted battle with the barbarian thieves"

"Before this, while the barbarian thieves had not yet penetrated the Yangtze River, they should hurry up to Sichuan. The best strategy is to keep the area around Guizhou, and it should not be placed in one place, but to be scattered."

“What about the rest?”

"The same is true. The southeast is based on mountainous places like Zhejiang and Fujian"
