Chapter 415 Prepare for war

The mansion of Kaifeng Fuwang occupies the widest area, has a grand layout and exquisite architecture. The palace is still the same, but the plaque on it has been replaced with three neatly crafted characters: Liao Wangfu!

Gu Zhenhua was granted the title of King of Liao and set foot on the peak of the Ming Dynasty's power. He did nothing to cover up his actions. The back of the palace was still the residence of his family, and the front was imitating the rules of the imperial city and establishing various departments. Compared with the capital, it was just a concrete and minor one.

In the An** system, the two yamen with the most powerful power are the General Staff and the Government Affairs Council! The two yamen are on the central axis of the royal palace, one left and one right, and the General Staff is on the right, occupying a total of more than twenty houses. The General Staff has a chief director, who assists Gu Zhenhua and is in charge of the overall military affairs. There are three subordinate chiefs, which are divided into three main tasks: combat, equipment, and logistics.

The position of chief is comparable to that of the Secretary of the Palace, and the Deputy Chief is the Minister. At that time, Gu Zhenhua also had the power to open a government office and established a family, but most of the officials appointed were strait teams and were mostly regarded as officials of the royal palace. But now it is completely different. The value of these official positions seems to be greater than that of the six ministers in Nanjing!

The chief of the General Staff was Li Jibo, and the first time he fell on Wu Kaijie, there were two big words on the door of his office, right-B. The two simple words are the representative of status in An**.

Sitting on the wide official hat chair, Wu Kaijie was proud.

Old man Li is over thirty years older than me. I can afford to wait. Sooner or later, I will fall on my head. A real man will be fame and fortune, and a dead man will be famous in history. It seems that he is not far from me!

He was thinking while humming a small song.

Bang bang bang bang. A knock on the door came.

Wu Kaijie hurriedly said, "Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and two people came in, one was Ma Wannian and the other was Li Dingguo.

When he saw these two people, Wu Kaijie immediately smiled and said, "I just changed into a new place. I'm dizzy when I work. Is there anything you guys?"

Ma Wannian bowed and said, "Mr. Wu, I brought two thousand white-sling soldiers to Kaifeng the day before yesterday. The prince promised us that he would let the white-sling soldiers fight the Tartars. But there is no news at the moment. How can we not be in a hurry?"

Wu Kaijie did not rush to answer, but looked at Li Dingguo with a smile and asked, "General Li, what do you mean?"

"When I say to Lord Wu, I think these days, the An** organization is very different from other Ming troops. They practice martial arts and wars. They are all quite novel. Therefore, Dingguo dares to ask the Lord to allow Dingguo to start from the bottom and serve An**."

"Hahaha, the two generals don't have to worry. The prince has already made arrangements for this matter, don't worry!"

While talking, the footsteps outside pushed open the door. Gu Zhenhua walked in.

Wu Kaijie and the others hurriedly bowed and Gu Zhenhua waved his hand with a smile.

"You're welcome. I'll come and see if there are any passive and slacking off work. I also need to see if anyone has become more and more arrogant when he is promoted!"

When Wu Kaijie heard this, his little face turned pale and said hurriedly: "Prince, I am working diligently and forgetting to eat and sleep, and I dare not slackew at all!"

"If you are in a hurry to defend yourself, it means you are guilty. Let me listen to you. No matter how big the official is, you should be very careful. Otherwise, there will be countless people in the Ming Dynasty who want to be an official."

After Gu Zhenhua said that, he sat directly on the chair. Wu Kaijie was trembling all over, his eyes rolled around, and he stood by the side with his hands hanging down. Gu Zhenhua ignored him, but smiled slightly at Ma Wannian and Li Dingguo.

"The White Petal Soldiers are brave in fighting and can be called elite. However, the organization is not in line with the main force of An**. Some people suggest that they break up and join the army."

When Ma Wannian heard this, his face was inevitably embarrassed. Bai Gan soldier devoted his efforts to several generations. It would be a pity if he was dismantled. However, he did not dare to disobey, so he could only nod and said, "Everything depends on the prince."

"Hahahaha, the Baigang Soldiers were trained to deal with Sichuan combat training. If they were broken up, they would lose their own advantages. I decided to set up a separate mountain regiment. After ten thousand years, you should be the leader of the regiment first. In the future, you will fight in more places, and the mountain troops will also be expanded."

When Ma Wannian heard this, his eyes lit up and he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, your humble position will definitely fulfill his mission!"

Gu Zhenhua looked at Li Dingguo again and said with a smile: "General Li, I heard that you have many nicknames in the Western Army. What about Xiao Yuchi? There are thousands of enemies and thousands of enemies, and they can be said to be both wise and brave."

"The prince praised it. The villain is just a bandit, not worth mentioning!"

Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly and said nothing, but went to the wall of Wu Kaijie's office, which was hanging on the combat map of North China.

"General Li, I am preparing to fight the Tartars. What do you think?"

Li Dingguo looked embarrassed and said, "Prince, military and national affairs are not surrendered..."

"Li Dingguo, it's not good to be too humble. If you can't tell me any knowledge, I can only let you start with a small soldier. I'm afraid that in the upcoming war, the role you play is limited, so will you be willing?"

Only grandson will be willing!

Li Dingguo suddenly showed a look of arrogant expression in his eyes. He strided to the front of the map, looked carefully and then. When he was in Sichuan, in his spare time, he was constantly paying attention to the battle situation in the Central Plains, and sometimes he even put himself in his shoes and changed to An**'s position, how should he fight!

Gu Zhenhua asked him at this time that Li Dingguo was not frightened.

"Prince, if you want to fight the Northern Expedition, attack the Tartars and restore the old capital, Dingguo thinks that he should use dignified troops to win with righteousness."

"It sounds normal!"

Li Dingguo smiled slightly: "Prince, your real cards can beat the Tartars, why bother to fake it! If you backfire, it will be unbeautiful!"

Gu Zhenhua laughed, and even Wu Kaijie on the side couldn't help but stroking his hands and said, "General Li, I have been thinking hard for the Northern Expedition these days. I didn't expect that my skills would be wasted by your words!"

"Mr. Wu, Dingguo thought that the country of Ding**, regardless of the source of troops or supplies, was not inferior to the Tartars, not to mention that the battles were winning continuously, and the people in the north were in my heart, and the chances of defeat were very high. However... there are two things to pay attention to!"

To be honest, Gu Zhenhua and Wu Kaijie have not had the same time in contact with military affairs as Li Ding. He has moved to most of China over the years, and his experience cannot be underestimated.

"General Li, just say anything if you have any ideas."

"Yes." Li Ding Guodao: "Since the early Ming Dynasty, the northeastern earth barbarians have been in chaos, and they have been repeatedly quelled and repeatedly. It is not because of the generals who are not careful, but because they are really in a vast and cold place, they cannot station their army. Therefore, the first point of the decisive battle with the Tatars is to seek complete annihilation, so as to prevent them from escaping from returning to the pass and causing trouble again!"

"What's the second point?"

"Be careful of Mongolia! Dingguo thought that after the war between northern Henan and the Huai River, the available troops had been reduced from 300,000 to over 100,000. Compared with An**, Dingguo had no advantage in military strength. Dingguo saw An**'s firearms in Chongqing. With such firepower, the Tatars did not have twice the strength and had no chance of winning at all. After all, the only Mongolian tribes who can strongly support the Tartars were the Mongolian tribes. They had deep marriages with the Tartars, and the Tartars also had the Manchu and Mongolian family's arguments. This group of people may not not want to enter the Central Plains."

Li Dingguo talked freely, and Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

As the saying goes, bystanders are Qing, Li Dingguo's reminder is too precious. We must be careful of the Mongols joining the war.

In the original history, the Qing Dynasty did not allow them to enter the pass in order to prevent Mongolia from robbing fruits, but now it is different. In order to save the crisis, the Tartars might really take this approach!

Gu Zhenhua nodded, "General Li's reminder is reasonable. If the general is willing, stay in the General Staff and be a senator to assist Deputy Chief Wu in making plans. When you are familiar with An**'s system, then come to the Guards to lead the troops."

There is no doubt that Gu Zhenhua admired Li Dingguo, a famous general in the anti-Qing Dynasty. Such an arrangement can also have a catfish effect, allowing the General Staff to move, killing two birds with one stone.

Li Dingguo has also understood the national rules these days. Gu Zhenhua's arrangement has been considered an exception to promote him, and he is also very grateful.

After arranging Ma Wannian and Li Dingguo, Gu Zhenhua stared at Wu Kaijie with a serious look and snorted coldly from his nose.
