After hearing Li Yan's words, everyone looked at the large map on the projection screen and saw four arrows, three large and one small, marked on it.

One is in Shaanxi, one is in Xuzhou, one is on the Tianjin Weihai Sea, and the other is on the Yongpingfu Sea.

Li Yan said: "We can first order Shaanxi to send troops to attack Xi'an, Yan'an and Yulin Town occupied by the Qing captives. The troops must be fierce.

To this end, three to four garrison towns can be transferred from Sichuan and Chongqing provinces into Shaanxi, and they can respectively obey the dispatches of Governor Lu Daqi and Admiral Li Dingguo.

This move forced the Qing barbarians to send more troops to Shaanxi, thus reducing the Qing barbarian forces in other places.

According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Department, Qing captives currently have heavy troops deployed in Yanzhou Prefecture in Shandong Province, Kaifeng Prefecture north of the Yellow River, Weihui Prefecture, and Huaiqing Prefecture, with Yanzhou Prefecture being the heaviest.

If the Qing captives mobilized troops to support Shaanxi, they had only three options. One was to recruit Mongolian cavalry, the other was to mobilize troops from the capital, and the third was to mobilize troops from Huaiqing and Yanzhou.

The Mongolian cavalry of Qingting will inevitably be thrown into the battlefield, but with the current level of combat power of our army, even if the Mongolian cavalry comes to help, it is not a worry.

From now on, whether the Qing army moves troops from Huaiqing and Yanzhou on the southern front, or directly from the capital, it will provide us with a good opportunity to win."

While speaking, Li Yan pointed at the two arrows of Xuzhou and Tianjin Wei with a slender bamboo pole.

"First, we can defeat the Qing rebels from Xuzhou, move up the canal, and attack Beijing.

When the Qing captives send more troops to Yanzhou, we can attack the Tianjin guards from the sea.

One can use Tianjin Guard to cut off the northern water transportation and cut off the Qing Dynasty's main grain and grass route.

Second, we can use the Tianjin Guard to attack Beijing along the canal, or go south to cooperate with Xuzhou's troops to encircle and annihilate the Qing's heavy troops on the southern front.

Finally, we still need to use a partial force to capture Yongping Mansion.

The main purpose of this move was to cut off the land passage with Shanhaiguan and prevent the Qing captives from Shanhaiguan from supporting the Qing court. Secondly, it could also prevent the Qing court from escaping from Shanhaiguan to outside the customs.

Of course, it is unlikely that the Qing court would take this route to exit the customs - if they really wanted to exit the customs, it would be most convenient to take the Gubeikou of Miyunwei, followed by Xuanfu.

There is the Chaohe River in Miyun and the Yanghe River in Xuanfu. Before it was frozen, they were both accessible by land and water."

Having said this, Li Yan paused and then said: "This is the first military plan provided by the Chief of Staff, and I personally think it is quite good. If your Majesty and your colleagues have any questions, you can raise them."

This military plan was actually formed through repeated exchanges between Hao Guangming, Zhu Yurao, Li Yan, and Du Yinxi. The Chief of Staff only added some details.

Therefore, Zhu Ailao did not speak.

The others looked at the big map and pondered for a while, then saw Zhu Dadian stood up and said: "If the Qing army sees that our Shaanxi front army is fierce, they directly abandon Shaanxi and retreat to Shanxi, how should we respond?"

Li Yan said: "Naturally, the Shaanxi front army was ordered to recover Xi'an and other places and then continue to march into Shanxi, forcing the Qing court to send more troops to Shanxi.

At the same time, Xuzhou also needs to increase the pressure on the Qing captives and allow the Qing court to send more troops to the southern front.

In short, we are trying to force the Qing court to transfer the troops from Northern Zhili as much as possible, so as to create a better opportunity for Tianjin Weihai's troops to march directly to Beijing and destroy the Qing court."

Zhu Dadian said: "In this case, the responsibility of attacking Tianjin Guard's troops will be very heavy. I wonder who will be the chief general?"

"This is exactly what I am going to talk about next." Li Yan smiled and said, "Please take a look, this is the first plan proposed by the Chief of Staff, the commanders of the various troops, the candidates for the deputy generals, and the arrangement of the troops."

Everyone understands that strictly speaking, this should be the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief, because no matter which route has troops, there is more than one town.

Following Li Yan's words, another large picture appeared on the projection screen, which showed the generals and troop allocation of the four armies.

The Shaanxi Front Army was led by Governor Lu Daqi, and Vice Admiral Li Dingguo.

Lu Daqi has jurisdiction over the tenth town of the border army, as well as the six-town Shaanxi garrison led by Li Ren, Wang Fuchen, Zhang Guangcai, He Zhen, Luo Dai, and Bai Guangen. In addition, he will also recruit the two-town Sichuan garrison led by Feng Shuangli and Ma Yuanli.

Finally, Li Guo and Gao Yigong's nearly 30,000 subordinate troops were also under the control of Lu Daqi.

In other words, Lu Daqi will have nearly 140,000 troops under his command!

Li Dingguo is under the jurisdiction of the Fourth and Sixth Towns of the Border Guard Army, as well as the Shaanxi Garrison in two towns led by Zhang Hualong and Sun Shoufa (newly appointed), and the Chongqing Garrison in the two towns led by Wang Xiang and Bai Wenxuan.

There are six new armies under Li Dingguo's command, totaling 72,000 troops!

The entire Shaanxi Front army reached 210,000!

The Xuzhou Front Army was led by Governor Du Yinxi, with Admiral Zeng Ying as deputy.

Duyinxi has jurisdiction over the 8th, 9th, and 14th towns (Dubiao) of the Border Guard Army, as well as three towns of the Henan Garrison and six towns of the Huguang Garrison, totaling 12 towns of soldiers and horses.

Zeng Ying was under the jurisdiction of the Second Town of the Border Guard Army and the Five Towns of the Jiangbei Garrison, totaling six towns.

In this way, the entire Xuzhou Front Army has eighteen towns, with a total of 216,000 people!

On the Tianjin Weihai Road, Jingnan Hou Huang Degong is the leader, with Liu Wenxiu as deputy.

It has jurisdiction over the Second Town of the Imperial Guards, the Fifth Town of the Imperial Guards, the Eleventh Town and Thirteenth Town of the Border Guards, and the three-town Jiangbei Garrison led by Huang Ming, Tian Xiong, and Chen Xiance, for a total of seven towns.

Horses, 84,000 people.

On the way to attack Yongping Mansion from the sea, Yang Zhan was the leader and Liu Fangliang was the deputy.

It has jurisdiction over the third and twelfth towns of the Border Guard Army, as well as the Jiangbei garrison led by Ma Degong, with a total of 36,000 soldiers and horses in three towns.

In addition, all the nine-town naval divisions currently under preparation are required to participate in transportation and water combat missions.

However, only some of the ships in the First Town that are suitable for canal navigation will participate in transportation and the Xuzhou water battle. The rest will stay on the Yangtze River outside Nanjing and serve as Nanjing's water defense force together with the Qinglong Camp.

After completing the task of transporting troops and landing troops, the naval divisions of the two towns in Zhejiang will also transfer one town back to defend the Zhejiang coast.

"That is to say, not counting the navy, we will invest 33 towns of new troops and 30,000 subordinate troops in the northern war this time, with a total force of nearly 430,000! If we include the navy,

, the total strength reaches more than 520,000!"

Hearing Li Yan say this, everyone in the audience couldn't help but feel a rush of passion.

Because they know that these 520,000 troops can be regarded as elites, and their combat power is definitely not comparable to that of the army in the past.

Such an offensive is like Mount Tai pressing down on the top. What can Qinglu do to resist?

Although everyone has great confidence in their own military strength, they still need to understand the Qinglu's military strength.

No, when everyone was excited, Zhu Yurao asked with a smile: "The information provided by the General Staff Department through the Military Intelligence Department should be able to estimate the approximate strength of the Qing captives, right?"

"Yes." Li Yan nodded in the video, and then said: "According to various intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Department, the General Staff Department estimates that the Qing captives now have about 140,000 Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners troops, of which the Manchu Eight Banners Army is likely to be less than 40,000

people.

Even if the Eight Banners of Manchuria were restored to a full strength of about 70,000 people, their combat strength would have dropped significantly compared to before."
