It's a pity that it's still too cold there, and the roads are difficult to navigate. If you want to send troops there, you must first have a smooth passage. But this road cannot be repaired overnight. At least a lot of manpower and material resources must be invested in the early stage.
With this alone, it was not easy for him to convince his subordinates.
In the eyes of everyone at that time, Heizhou was already extremely bitter and cold. It was really unimaginable to go further north. What was the use of a place like that?
Changing one's mind is not an easy thing. Even if Tang Ao uses his personal authority to forcefully issue military orders, it is strange that those people can achieve good results if they do not work hard.
In addition to going north, there are also some ideas that can be used to attack the sea to the east. For example, we can send troops from there to Luzon, and then extend our tentacles, and continue to extend to the sea step by step.
It can be said that thirty years of army, fifty years of air force, and one hundred years of navy.
The establishment of a navy takes a long time. Among other things, just building enough usable warships is not a simple matter. A large amount of gold and silver needs to be invested in the early stage, just like in order to achieve the goal of capturing Japan.
To achieve this goal, the Dahua Navy has been preparing for several years.
But if you want to sail away, you need to make even more preparations.
The current naval division is still developing, and it will take at least a few years to reach the goal of traveling far at sea.
Neither the east nor the north worked, so Tang Ao decided to move to the west.
A long time ago, Tang Ao arranged for Longya's people to follow the caravan to the west, and also knew the basic situation of Great Qin. At this time, the Roman Empire had not yet appeared, and everything was still under the rule of Great Qin.
The specific information received is that the Qin Dynasty is now in a period of rising national power. According to historical development, it will take ten years to slowly decline until it is replaced by the newly rising Roman Empire.
This news made Tang Ao a little unhappy. He obviously couldn't wait that long. His life would only last a hundred years at most, and there were too many things he needed to do.
Tang Ao then thought about whether he could consider funding some people in advance. As far as he knew, the current Great Qin was implementing a tyrannical government, and some people had long been dissatisfied. If he had his own help, maybe this time could be earlier.
s arrival.
But before Tang Ao could arrange for someone to do something, Qin Jun came over, which made Tang Ao exclaim in his heart, someone really brought a pillow when he fell asleep.
In a war, the price that the attacker and the defender need to pay are completely different.
In other words, if the battlefield can be moved to the west, the Chinese army can reduce the major problem of military transportation, which is often the decisive factor in winning or losing in wars.
At that moment, Tang Ao had an idea, which was to attract the Qin army and consume the opponent's strength to the maximum extent in his own territory. When the opponent's strength was greatly reduced, he would switch from defense to attack.
time.
At that time, with the strength of the Qin army damaged, what else could it use to resist the cavalry of the Chinese army?
Just as he was thinking in his mind, all the ministers below came to the Qinzheng Hall and appeared in front of Tang Ao.
"Your Majesty, have you seen the battle report from the west?" After saluting, Shen Yunyi, the most senior, was the first to stand up.
Shen Yunyi is a kind of transcendent force in the entire Dahua.
He was Tang Ao's former uncle. Those who watched him grow up could be regarded as his real elder. He was also Queen Shen Min's biological uncle. It can be said that he was the person Tang Ao trusted the most.
When there were only two of them, Shen Yunyi could enjoy the courtesy of meeting the emperor without bowing. From this point of view, other ministers could not compare with him. Therefore, many times, many things were decided by him. The one who spoke first.
"I saw it." Tang Ao nodded, then looked at everyone with interest and asked, "But I don't know what everyone thinks about this matter?"
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should immediately send troops to support the west. If possible, we should drive out these enemies so that they know that we, Dahua, are not so easy to mess with." As Shanshan Guards The leader, Feng Xunziran
It was the main war faction, so he immediately stood up and answered.
"Yes, we must take advantage of the opponent's unsteady foothold to completely repel them so that they will stop trying to provoke us, Dahua." Wei Chao, the minister headed by the General Staff, also stood up with a firm tone. Said like.
In a sense, Wei Chao's approach is correct.
The most effective way to stop a war is to completely eliminate some ideas when the enemy has no ambition.
Maybe the 300,000 people in the Qin army came to test Dahua's strength, and if the Qin army could be severely damaged by cutting through the mess quickly, they would not have any more ideas after seeing how powerful it was.
After hearing these remarks, Tang Ao nodded as if in agreement, but then raised a question, "But now we have decided to send troops to the Japanese army occupying Fujian, Zhejiang and Zhejiang. Could it be that this Should the matter be postponed? You must know that there are millions of people in these two states waiting for us to liberate them. Besides, once the Japanese people in these two states have a victory or defeat and stabilize again, If I want to eliminate them in the future, I’m afraid I’ll have to put in more effort to do it.”
This rhetorical question immediately left everyone speechless.
To send troops to Fuzhou and Zhejiang to eliminate Japan's active forces in China was originally the decision unanimously made by the ministers in the court after Tang Ao returned from Japan.
For this matter, the Dahua court has already begun to make various preparations, such as which army to send there, how much logistical materials are needed, etc.
It can be said that everything is being prepared in an orderly manner. And if we want to fight in the west now, it goes without saying that the plan will have to be changed. In this case, fighting on both sides, the final result will be that neither side may be able to meet expectations. Effect.
So when faced with this question, everyone didn't know what to say for a while. Seeing that everyone was speechless, Tang Ao smiled, and his eyes fell on Geng Liang, who was in charge of logistics in the Government Affairs Council, and asked : "Geng Qing, how much material can be adjusted in logistics now? If the west side is only for defense, can it be effectively supplied?"
"Reporting to the emperor, there are still a lot of supplies. If the west side is just for defense and there is no need to dispatch elites, then there is no problem at all." Geng Liang, as one of Tang Ao's former three bodyguards, after gaining trust and reuse, He knows the logistics situation very well, and he has a lot of data in his mind.
Even if Geng Liang said there was no problem, then there should be no problem. Tang Ao nodded, "Well, this is the best. What do you think? Let's discuss it. I am determined to attack Fujian and Zhejiang provinces."
Changed, and adopted a defensive posture towards the west. By the way, didn't they bring 300,000 dog troops from Japan this time? I think they can be sent to the west to perform defensive duties. We were
We captured a lot of ordnance during the war. Although these items are very common and elite troops would disdain to use them, they should be enough to defend the west and fight the Qin army."
The quality of ordnance often determines the outcome of a war, or at least reduces the casualties of soldiers to a great extent.
Tang Ao, for example, attaches great importance to weapons. The elites of the Great Chinese Army use the most sophisticated and best weapons.
In this way, in the armory of the Dahua Army, there are a lot of various weapons left over from the Great Victory War. Those are the weapons that the elite are unwilling to use, but if they are used to arm the dog army, it is perfectly fine. After all, the dog army
No one cares about his life or death.
Just like when Tumi Chengichi first formed the Co-Prosperity Army, when did he care about the death of these people?
Using the dog army to consume the Qin army was what Tang Ao thought of.
This is true dog bites dog. No matter how many people die on both sides, Tang Ao has nothing to lose. It can be regarded as using the waste. Why not?
Tang Ao made a decision, but Feng Xun and Wei Chao had some objections. They were worried that they could not put out the fire when it first started, which would eventually lead to the fire getting bigger and bigger and eventually becoming uncontrollable.
Of course, Zeng Tong and Han Ce of the Government Affairs Council agreed with this decision.
Civil servants do not like killing. In their opinion, learning from
The way of a saint is the best magic weapon to govern the world.
Whether it is the common people or the foreigners, we must treat them in a persuasive way. In the end, the other party realizes their mistake and then withdraws. This is how you are good to me and everyone is good.
It is no exaggeration to say that most civil servants like to live in a peaceful and prosperous age. It seems that only in this way can their abilities be brought into full play. On the contrary, if the world is in trouble, the status of civil servants will naturally be reduced a lot.
, this is not what they like to see.
Tang Ao's defensive style of play requires very little effort. This is of course the method that Wen Chen likes.
They even thought in their minds that when the Qin army came over and found that the Chinese army was not easy to deal with, they would probably retreat. This would prevent a big war from happening. In fact,
This is the blessing of the world.
Among the people, only Shen Yunyi said nothing.
Others didn't understand Tang Ao as well as he did, so he didn't believe that his emperor would be so kind, or that he was like a civil servant who naively thought that if the defense lasted for a long time, the Qin army would take the initiative to retreat.
He always had the feeling that Tang Ao had a big plan.
As for what exactly he was planning, he was a little unclear.
How many people can guess what Tang Ao did from the Duke of the Kingdom to the Prince of Ji, and now the Emperor of Great China?
In this way, after everyone else retreated, Shen Yunyi stayed behind because he wanted to see his niece and queen. But in fact, he followed Tang Ao directly after everyone left.
