Yang Peng said with a smile: "We won't do that this time!" He pointed to Fukuoka, a port city in the northern part of Kyushu Island, and Shimonoseki, a port city in the west of Honshu Island. "Japanese soldiers and supplies all set out from these two ports.
, so this time we will not attack their transportation lines, but directly attack their ports!" He also pointed to the two large islands between Japan and Korea, "The two islands in the north are called Nagasaki, and the one in the south is called Nagasaki.
Mijin is a transit base for the Japanese to transport soldiers and supplies to Goryeo! My idea is that the navy, in conjunction with the army commanded by the instructor, will first expedition to these two islands and capture them. In this way, our army will be on the open sea
After obtaining an important base, the navy set out from here to attack Fukuoka and Shimonoseki, disrupting their support steps and seizing their supplies at the same time! After that, what your navy has to do is to continuously attack and attack
Their port city, attacking their transport fleet, in short, we cannot allow them to fight in the front with peace of mind!"
Everyone listened carefully. After Yang Peng finished speaking, Liu Zhiliang pointed to Mitsu and Nagasaki Islands and said: "The key to this battle should be to seize Mizu and Nagasaki Islands. The Japanese use these two islands as transportation."
Base, so there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the two islands all year round, so it will not be easy to capture the two islands in a short time!"
Yang Peng nodded, "Therefore, the key point of this battle is 'quick'. Before the Japanese are aware of our intentions, we can attack the two islands with lightning speed. With our army's combat power and equipment,
It shouldn't be a big problem to capture the two islands within three days!" The generals thought and nodded.
Yang Peng glanced at everyone and said, "If everyone has no objections, the plan is set." Seeing that no one raised any objections, he continued: "In addition to the task of attacking the Japanese, the navy also has a more important task."
Pointing at Guan Shan and Guan Ping, "Brothers Guan and Guan have gained a lot this time when they returned from the ocean. Maybe most people don't know the details yet. Please tell me." The two brothers clasped their fists in agreement, and then the elder brother Guan Shan stood up and said to
Everyone said: "Our brothers were ordered to conduct ocean-going trade this time and gained a lot. The specific amount of funds has not been calculated yet, but the total value definitely exceeds 20 million taels of silver!"
Many people present here still don’t know the income of this ocean trade. When they suddenly heard this number, they were stunned and thought they heard it wrong. Guo Tong said in disbelief: "Twenty million? I heard it wrong.
, or are you wrong?" Many people couldn't help but nod. Liu Yuan said, "This is our annual income."
Guan Shan smiled and said: "I said it right, and Mr. Guo heard it right, it's twenty million taels of silver!"
Everyone started talking in low voices, and everyone's face was full of excitement. Weinan's deputy envoy Guo Hao exclaimed: "My dear, there are so many, they are almost as much as our annual income!" Everyone couldn't help but
Nodding, Duan Zhixian patted his bald head and sighed: "This grandma is just picking up money!" Cheng Shijie said loudly: "Brother, such a good thing should continue!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Erlang is right, that's what I planned too! And in order to conduct trade better, we also need to establish bases along the sea routes to better protect our caravans and handle emergencies! Therefore,
This requires the navy and the caravan to act together. While you are doing business, you are building a base at the same time!"
Duan Zhixian clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Let's do business as a family, and everyone else will be driven away!!" The generals nodded in agreement, while the civil servants smiled knowingly.
Du Nan said: "This is not good!..." Duan Zhixian glared and said: "You fat guy is usually very smart, why are you learning the mistakes of those bullshit literati now?"
Du Nan chuckled, "General Duan misunderstood! I have no interest in learning those bullshit benevolent ideas, but if we are too cruel to businessmen from other countries, we must know that we are going to do business in their country. If we do it at sea,
It's too much. If you get to their territory, won't they retaliate?" Duan Zhixian was stunned and patted his bald head, "This seems to be what you mean!"
Du Nan shook his head and said with a smile: "So it's true to say 'harmony makes money'. Only by letting others make money can we make more money!" Yang Peng continued: "What the fat man said is on point.
! We want to establish a sea base, not to live alone, but to establish an order on the sea. Anyone who makes a living on the sea must abide by this order! Only in this way can we obtain the greatest benefits!"
Duan Zhixian patted his bald head and said with a smile: "I don't understand, but what I decide is never wrong! Anyway, things on the sea are none of our business, so we won't worry about that!" Everyone laughed.
Standing up, Yang Peng said to Wang Hai: "The navy has allocated 10,000 troops and ten cruisers to cooperate with the two brothers in the operation." Wang Hai stood up, clasped his fists and promised. Yang Peng added: "This operation is centered on trade.
Therefore, the navy must obey the orders of Brother Er Zhang, and any disobedience will be dealt with as a violation of military law!" Wang Hai glanced at Brother Er Guan, smiled and clasped his fists at Yang Peng: "King Yan, don't worry about this, Brother Er Guan originally
He is the commander-in-chief of the navy. There is absolutely no problem for the navy brothers to obey their orders!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "This is the mission of the navy. Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Wang Hai cupped his fists and said, "There's nothing I don't understand!" "Very well, sit down." Wang Hai responded and sat back. Yang Peng's eyes fell on the faces of Yang Yanzhao and others, and they immediately felt that a mission was coming.
He involuntarily puffed up his chest and stared at Yang Peng.
Yang Peng said: "In addition to our large-scale naval operations this year, our army will not be idle either. I plan to launch a large army to conquer Xixia around March! I hope that after this battle, there will no longer be a country called Xixia!"
Everyone was shocked, but also felt extremely excited. Since Yan Yun's rise, although he has gone through countless wars and fierce battles, he has never launched a war to destroy the country. This is definitely a magnificent and glorious event in the annals of history!
Cao Jun clasped his fists excitedly and said: "General, I am always waiting for the call of King Yan, and I will go to the fire without hesitation!!" Gao Hu also said excitedly: "General, I will be stationed in Yinzhou. This battle to destroy Xia cannot be without General!
Only Yang Yanzhao frowned slightly and said: "King Yan is very ambitious and the general will admire him very much! It's just that although Xixia suffered heavy losses and lost its national power, it is still a powerful country that has been established for more than a hundred years. Its potential must not be underestimated. Destroy Xia."
It’s no easy task! Besides, we don’t have enough food and grass, so we won’t be able to launch a large-scale war for at least a year!”
After listening to Yang Yanzhao's words, everyone felt that it made sense and started talking in low voices.
Yang Peng looked at Du Nan, "Fat man, tell me." After saying that, he returned to his seat and sat down.
Everyone's eyes focused on Du Nan, who smiled and said: "If it weren't for the huge profits from the Erguan brothers, my plan would definitely not work, but now there is no problem..." Duan Zhixian didn't.
He said angrily: "Fat man, do you know what I hate most about you?" Du Nan blinked pitifully and looked at Duan Zhixian. Duan Zhixian pointed at Du Nan and gritted his teeth: "You guy, I admire your ability, but I hate you.
Damn your mouth, simple things have to go around in a lot of circles!" Everyone laughed. Dunan muttered in a low voice: "If you hadn't interrupted me, wouldn't I have got to the point earlier?
!" Then he said to Duan Zhixian with a smile: "Everything has a cause and effect. If I say this without any end, I'm afraid none of you will understand what's going on!"
Seeing that he was still verbose, Duan Zhixian couldn't help but get mad. Yang Peng laughed and said: "Duan Zhixian, don't worry!" Then he said angrily to Dunan: "Fat man, please stop being verbose and keep the story short." Du Nan responded.
, glanced at Duan Zhixian, "To put it simply, there is a way to solve the food and grass problem." Everyone was very surprised and incredible. Many people couldn't help but think about how to solve the current food and grass problem. Yang Yanzhao's heart moved and asked:
"Could it be that Mr. Du means to use funds to purchase grain and grass from the private sector?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized, and they couldn't help but think: Why didn't I think of such a simple method? Du Nan raised his thumbs towards Yang Yanzhao and praised: "It's amazing! General Yang's resourcefulness can't be matched.
Go to the King of Yan!" Yang Yanzhao quickly humbled himself, and then thought: "Purchasing private grain and grass is indeed a good way! Last year's harvest was good, and the private sector must have accumulated a lot of grain and grass!"
Huang Guang said: "This approach can not only solve the problem of military rations, but also raise the price of food appropriately to maintain market stability." Dunan nodded, "That's it! I discussed it with King Yan and thought that five million taels would be used.
Baiyin's purchase of private grain and grass can not only maintain market grain prices, but also not raise grain prices excessively!" Several civil servants immediately calculated it in their minds and felt that this number was more appropriate, so they did not propose any
objection.
Seeing that no one raised any objections, Yang Peng said: "If you have no objections, then the matter has been settled! When all local officials go back, they will receive the grain payment reported from the warehouse. After returning, you can purchase grain and grass on the spot. Shaanxi
The grain and grass purchased from Ganshanxi are stored in local warehouses waiting to be used, while the grain and grass purchased from other places are transported to Tianjing New City." All the civil servants agreed together.
Yang Peng looked at Yang Yanzhao and other generals, "With the food and grass problem solved, the remaining problem is how to march! Now Xixia has just experienced a major turmoil, and people's hearts are unstable. It is a good time to use troops!" Turning his head towards
Jiang Li winked, and the latter understood, and immediately ordered Feifeng Female Guard to hang up another map behind Yang Peng. Everyone looked at it and found that it included the entire Xixia and northwest Yanyun areas.
A huge map with mountains, rivers, landforms, cities and towns all marked on the map, meticulously.
Yang Peng pointed at Xixia, "The situation in Xixia is clear at a glance. The best strategy to attack Xixia is to attack from the north and the south together! My idea is to form two attack corps, one from Dongsheng Prefecture in Datong Prefecture to the west, and I will personally
Lead the army to attack westward along the Yellow River, and then go south along the Yellow River to drive directly to its capital, Xingqingfu; the other group of troops on the southern line is divided into two groups, the east and west. The east line is a partial division, commanded by Gao Hu, leaving Yinzhou and attacking its left wing.
Mituo Cave, where the Shenyong Army Division is located, then drives directly to Xiazhou to the west. The main force on the west route, led by Yang Yanzhao, leaves Changcheng Ridge and attacks Hongzhou. After defeating Hongzhou, it drives directly to Youzhou, where the Jianing Army Division is based." See.
He glanced at Yang Yanzhao and Gao Hu and said, "If you two successfully complete the above strategic goals, you will join forces and drive directly to Xingqing Mansion. However, you must be careful about Zhuoluo and Nanjunsi and Xishoubao in the southwest of Xingqing Mansion.
Reinforcements from the Tai Army Division and the Jingsai Army Division south of Xingqing Prefecture. The reinforcements from these three places will not be large, but they should not be careless." Yang Yanzhao promised with Gao Hu holding his fists.
When Cao Jun saw that Yang Peng had not assigned him a task, he couldn't help but become anxious. He clasped his fists and asked, "King Yan, what will the general do?" Yang Peng smiled and said, "You will stay in Datong Mansion to transport logistics for our Northern Front Corps.
Baggage!" Cao Jun was very depressed, but he did not dare to disobey the military order and accepted the promise with clasped fists.
Yang Peng frowned and said: "Either we don't fight this battle, or we have to use all our strength to seal the throat with one blow! So I decided that in addition to the 400,000 soldiers of the directly affiliated corps going into the battle, the 6th and 7th corps stationed in Taiyuan will have this strategy
All the reserves have also been put into battle, with a total of more than 500,000 troops. I will solve the Xixia problem in the shortest possible time!" Yang Yanzhao and other generals were very excited, while Duan Zhixian, Cheng Shijie and others were envious.
Yang Peng continued: "All the military, government and civilian armies in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu are mobilized. I don't want any emergencies to happen at the critical moment of our army's campaign!" The Xuanwei envoys of Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi promised with fists in their hands.
Yang Peng glanced at everyone and asked: "Do you have any questions?" Everyone looked at each other and said nothing. Yang Peng said: "Okay, since everyone has no objections, the plan is set! After everyone goes back,
Start preparations immediately! But I want to remind you that this combat plan is still top secret and must not be leaked, otherwise military law will be ruthless!" Everyone's hearts trembled and they agreed in unison.
Then Yang Peng discussed some other things with everyone, and the meeting lasted until noon. After the meeting, Han Bing, Yelu Hanyu, Yang Jiumei, Yang Erya, and Jiang Li walked toward the backyard surrounded by Yang Peng.
Yang Peng walked into a pavilion, and the girls also followed in. Yang Peng stood in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, looking at the beautiful scenery in the backyard in a daze, but he was thinking about the details of this battle in his mind. He wanted to see
There was something I hadn't considered. None of the women dared to disturb him and stood quietly behind him. The five beautiful women were all wearing armor, cloaks and holding swords. Their softness and strength were blended together, creating a great visual impact.
force.
Yang Peng thought about it in his mind and found no loopholes in his plan. He turned around and asked, "Do you think there is any problem with my plan?" The girls looked at each other and Han Bing shook his head.
"Anyway, I can't think of any problem!" Yelu Hanyu smiled and said: "Sister Han Bing can't think of it, and of course I can't think of it!" Han Bing was a little embarrassed, "Sister, I'm so complimentary.
What does my little sister mean? She is far behind compared to my elder sister!"
Yang Peng chuckled, "You are all equally smart," the two women smiled sweetly and glanced at him tenderly. Seeing the disappointed expressions on the faces of the other three women, Yang Peng quickly added, "You are also very smart, but you are no better than her two."
What a mistake!" The three girls couldn't help but laugh, and Yang Erya's face also had a faint blush. Yelu Hanyu pointed at Yang Peng and teased: "Look, the eldest brother is the most cunning!"
The girls laughed and looked at Yang Peng affectionately.
Yelu Hanyu suddenly said: "This time I go on an expedition, I want to go with my eldest brother!" Yang Peng's head immediately grew bigger, and he deliberately became serious, "Meier, don't be ridiculous!" Yelu Hanyu wrinkled his beautiful nose.
, "I'm not messing around! Don't you even remember my identity?"
Yang Peng blurted out: "What identity? She is my wife!" The girls giggled, while Yelu Hanyu glared at Yang Peng with a red face, "Have you forgotten that I am the commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army?
"Yang Peng was stunned, and then he remembered this. The Liao army that retreated into Yanyun was changed into the Sixth Army by Yang Peng. Yelu Hanyu was the commander-in-chief, and Xiao Duoli was the deputy. However,
After that, Yelu Hanyu was always by Yang Peng's side, and the Sixth Army was actually led by Xiao Duoli, so most people, including Yang Peng, had forgotten that Yelu Hanyu was the commander of the Sixth Army.
Stubble.
Yelu Hanyu smiled and said: "As the commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army, when the Sixth Army goes on an expedition, how can I not follow them?"
Yang Peng smiled bitterly. Yelu Hanyu asked angrily: "Brother, do you think I'm fooling around?" Yang Peng patted his head and said with a smile: "What else can I say, the reasons are all on your side!
Yelu Hanyu said happily: "So, brother, you agree?" Yang Peng smiled and nodded. Yelu Hanyu was so happy that he threw himself into Yang Peng's arms and gave him a kiss.
Then she thought that there were many sisters next to her, and her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She quickly left Yang Peng's arms and glared at Yang Peng angrily. Yang Peng pointed to the other cheek, "There aren't any here yet!"
They all smiled narrowly. Yelu Hanyu was so embarrassed that he ignored Yang Peng.
Han Bing suddenly said: "Since Sister Yelu can go, I will go too." Yang Peng was startled, "Please, I am going to fight, not traveling with my wife!" Han Bing glared with red cheeks.
He glanced at Yang Peng and said, "I'm not going on a trip, so why don't I know how to fight?"
Yang Peng said with a smile: "If Han Bing can't fight, I'm afraid there won't be anyone in the world who knows how to hold a large tent!" Han Bing smiled happily, "That's right, so I can go on the expedition with you!" Yang Peng said with a smile.
Peng walked up to Han Bing and held her hands. Seeing that her eldest brother was so affectionate to her in front of the sisters, Han Bing was happy, but even more embarrassed, so she wanted to get out. At this moment, she heard Yang Peng say:
"Although I also want Han Bing to accompany me, we need Han Bing more here!" Han Bing looked at Yang Peng in confusion. Yang Peng said seriously: "My army is out on an expedition, and the peace of the rear is very important, so I
I need Han Bing to sit in the Central Plains for me and pay attention to the developments of all parties!" Han Bing was well versed in the art of war and immediately understood Yang Peng's intentions and nodded thoughtfully.
When Yang Peng saw this, he couldn't help lowering his head and kissed her red lips, "How good!" Han Bing was stunned for a moment, then he was embarrassed, pushed Yang Peng away, turned around and ran away. Yang Peng laughed.
, patted his cheek, and said with a smile: "We are already an old married couple, and yet we are so shy!" The girls pursed their lips and smiled, and then they saw the eldest brother looking towards them, and couldn't help but be startled, although they really wanted to get his tenderness.
, but did not want to be laughed at by the other sisters, Yelu Hanyu ran away first, and Yang Jiumei and Yang Erya also found excuses to run away. The moving figures of the women disappeared in the corridor in front, and the voices of laughter were far away.
came.
Yang Peng only felt tenderness filling his chest, and he sighed and muttered: "In a blink of an eye, I became a loner!" Then he saw Jiang Li standing beside him and smiled, "Ah, I still have Li.
Where's Li!" Jiang Li pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Of course I have to stay with the master and wait for orders!"
Yang Peng walked up to Jiang Li, and Jiang Li raised her head and looked at him lovingly. Yang Peng held Jiang Li's slender hand, pulled her to sit down, and pointed at a line of wild geese flying over in the sky in the distance.
Telling a story from his time.
The sight turned to the Imperial Capital of Xixia. Li Qingxia stood on the high steps in front of the palace hall, looking at the city in front of her, her brows furrowed tightly. Although she had become the queen, she did not feel any joy in her heart.
In order to ascend to this position, she had to sacrifice too much. Her father, brother, friends, and countless others died before she finally ascended to this position. This throne that floated up from the blood made her tremble with fear, without any trace of fear.
Feeling of joy.
After calming down and thinking of what was happening in front of me, Yan Yun's threat immediately came to mind, and he murmured: "It will take another year for Yan Yun to invade in a big way. I must be prepared within this year!"
At this time, several ministers appeared in front and strode forward. The two leaders were the two prime ministers: O Daochong and Li Tongren. These two were also prime ministers in the previous dynasty. Although the dynasty changed, they were still the prime ministers.
An important minister of Xixia.
Everyone climbed up the steps and bowed respectfully to Li Qingxia: "Long live my emperor!" Li Qingxia stretched out her right hand, "No need to be polite!" "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then everyone straightened up, but they remained the same.
Standing with bowed head.
Li Qingxia walked to the steps, looked at the vast sky in the south, frowned slightly and said: "Although Daxia has settled down, the threat of Yanyun is still there!" Odaochong immediately said: "We are under the leadership of His Majesty.
No hardships or obstacles can scare us, and Daxia will surely become more and more glorious!" Several ministers agreed, but only the Prime Minister of the Left, Li Tongren, said worriedly: "In one year, Yanyun tigers and wolves will surely come rolling in.
, and our national strength in Great Xia has been greatly reduced, and I am afraid it will be very difficult to resist it!"
Odaochong glared and yelled: "What's your motive for being so interested in other people's ambitions and destroying our prestige!" Li Tongren frowned and said, "What motive could I have? It's just a matter of fact!" Li Qingxia raised her right hand, "You two don't have to argue.
, both of them are important ministers of the country, and they are dedicated to the country, and I trust them very much!"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
