When Liu Xingzuo rushed to the military camp, he was catching up with the military meeting convened by Mao Wenlong.
Although he was suppressed by Mao Wenlong, he was also a general of the Dongjiang Army, and his title was there. Mao Wenlong just didn't use him in any important way, and the superficial etiquette was still maintained.
Sitting in the chair, Liu Xingzuo put on his poker face again, listening to Mao Wenlong and the generals discussing the next military action.
Mao Wenlong's idea is very simple: first focus on harassment, and then wait for opportunities to launch large-scale counterattacks.
The reasons are also very simple and sufficient. First, when food and materials are shipped from Denglai, it is best that the court can repay the owed wages; second, when the spring warms and the ice melts, Yuncong Island is completely free of worries, and the Dongjiang Army can free up
hands and feet.
Chen Jisheng agreed with this and said: "Now the landmines are captured by surprise. After more than ten days, all units can land with landmines to harass. Whether it is harassment or ambush, landmines are a relatively powerful auxiliary means."
There is a kiln in Pi Island. Fine ceramics cannot be fired, but rough pottery utensils are not a problem. There are also broken porcelain and broken bowls, which can be used to make explosive tubes. Coupled with the bottles and jars that can be replaced, if the army and the people work together, they can indeed
Rush to make a batch of mines.
But for long-term and large-scale production, the quantity of gunpowder is not enough. This is also something that can't be helped. It is not easy for the Dongjiang Army to even have enough food, and other supplies are also scarce.
"Frequent actions in the form of small teams make Jianlu exhausted." Mao Wenlong said solemnly: "The results of each harassment do not need to be big, the small amount adds up, as long as the Jianlu are delayed and exhausted, and we wait for the advantage of our army.
opportunity."
From Uiju Castle to Yongcheon, and then to Chelsan and Seoncheon, this is within the range of Dongjiang Army raids by Pido and Uncong. The mountains, rivers, and other dangerous places along the way are suitable for launching operations.
location.
Zhang Pan pondered for a while and said: "The general thinks that a reserve team should be kept. If there is a fighter opportunity, it can be dispatched at any time."
Mao Wenlong nodded slightly and said: "The three thousand troops I brought with me will stay on Pi Island as a reserve team. Deputy Commander Chen, I will be relieved if you return to Yuncong to take command. By the way, we must closely monitor and reconnoiter Xuanchuan."
Case."
Chen Jisheng understood that Marshal Mao was going to take charge of Pi Island in person, and he bowed to accept the order, adding: "For the Korean volunteers, the general feels that we should do our best to help each other and fight the enemy together."
"It should be." Mao Wenlong said without any hesitation about this, "But if you ask for anything, just do our best in the Dongjiang Army."
After a pause, Mao Wenlong felt that there was still something wrong, and then continued: "In my opinion, instead of waiting for them to come to ask for help, it is better for our army to send people to proactively contact us. If we can join forces to fight against the enemy, we will have better intelligence and operations.
It helps.”
All the generals felt that this was better. After all, the Korean volunteers were on their own land and had many advantages. For example, the shaved men among the captives might be secretly won over by the Korean volunteers and tipped off.
Zhang Pan, Shang Kexi, Li Weiluan and other generals had experience in landing operations and were relatively familiar with the terrain, so the first batch of raiding troops were drawn from them.
A team of one hundred people and a batch of ten teams will bring their own food and supplies, and the combat period is ten days; after ten days, they will return to rest and continue with another batch.
Because they had fought together with Zheng Fengshou, Cui Xiaoyi and others and had a good relationship, the Dongjiang Army raiding force designated the main combat areas as Uiju, Yongcheon, and Cheoshan to fight together with the Korean volunteers.
After the military meeting was over and everyone accepted their tasks, the generals bowed and left one after another.
Liu Xingzuo lingered and was the last one to leave. When he came to the door, he turned back, bowed to Mao Wenlong and handed over his hands, saying: "Shuai Mao, I have been thinking hard these past few days and have come up with a plan. I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"
Mao Wenlong looked pretty good in public and said, "General Liu, it doesn't matter if you say it."
Chen Jisheng hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should avoid it for the time being.
Liu Xingzuo had already said: "Deputy Marshal Chen will also listen to me and give me more corrections."
Chen Jisheng smiled slightly, sat in his chair, looked upright, and listened attentively.
After considering his words, Liu Xingzuo slowly said: "After the death of the old slave, his fourth son Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne. The four Baylors sat facing south and jointly handled government affairs. This seemed to be the same as when the old slave was there.
Same, but very different..."
When Nurhachi was still alive, he "ordered the four major Baylors to be divided into Zhiyues on a monthly basis, and all the affairs of the country were put in charge of Zhiyue Baylors." This kind of political meeting as the core and the Eight Banners system as the backbone was basically a transformation of the old tribal system.
The four Baylors take turns to score points and have the same power, which is equivalent to helping Nurhachi handle government affairs, while Lao Nu is the final decision-maker and can make decisions with a single word.
But the current Huang Taiji, although he succeeded to the throne of Khan, does not have the power and status of Nurhachi. The three Baylors sitting with him are all older than him, and they all have armies in their hands, so they are quite powerful.
"Huang Taiji promoted Azig, Dorgon, Duduo, and Jierhalang to discuss government affairs with the kings. The general will think that this is not a deep brotherhood." Liu Xingzuo pursed his lips slightly and sneered.
Mao Wenlong stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then said: "It is a clever plan to divide the power of the kings."
"Shuai Mao is wise and hits the mark." Liu Xingzuo flattered him and continued: "Huang Taiji will definitely change the system where the four Baylors all sit together, and he will sit alone in the south. Amin, Manggul
Tai and Daishan will all be those he needs to eradicate or suppress."
"In this attack on the DPRK, we obviously trusted Amin and appointed him as the commander-in-chief, but at the end of the day, the general thought that he had no intention of weakening the strength of the blue flag. Daishan had two red flags, Amin had a blue flag, and Manggur
The Taizheng Blue Banner all holds heavy troops, so Huang Taiji cannot attack directly and can only divide and conquer."
Mao Wenlong stopped stroking his beard, narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The analysis is very good. Huang Taiji should be suspected of using a borrowed knife to kill someone."
Chen Jisheng shook his head and said with a smile: "General Liu has a sharp mind and has thoroughly analyzed the pros and cons of the four Baylors."
He turned to Mao Wenlong and suggested: "Shuai Mao, the one who opposes the enemy, uses him because he is the enemy. I will use this method in the future."
Mao Wenlong nodded vigorously, looked at Liu Xingzuo, showed a rare expression of admiration, and praised: "General Liu's plan can defeat tens of thousands of elite soldiers, very good, very good."
Liu Xingzuo bowed to express his thanks and said: "In my humble opinion, I dare not trouble Marshal Mao with false praise. If Marshal Mao has no instructions, I will retire first."
Mao Wenlong lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, then raised his head with a smile, waved his hand, and said: "General Liu, please step aside. When this plan is fully implemented, you will need more efforts."
"Yes." Liu Xingzuo responded, bowed and stepped back.
Chen Jisheng waited for Liu Xingzuo to go out, and he immediately beamed with joy and said, "Shuai Mao, this is a wonderful plan. It's the right time to use it now."
