Chapter 2261 Gui Zi Juan strategizing and planning
If anything goes wrong here, it will plunge the entire Liaodong war situation into an uncontrollable situation, and Feng Ziying has to worry.
Seeing that Zhang Huaichang was about to look in his direction, Feng Ziying quickly took a preemptive strike and turned the topic to Wang Yingxiong: "Fei Xiong, Wen Qiao's suggestion is very creative. What do you think of it?"
Wang Yingxiong obviously did not expect that Feng Ziying would bring the topic to him. Of course, since he was invited to discuss, he must have made some preparations. Although Liaodong was not his main consideration, as the head of the Staff Division, he still decided to It took some effort.
"Wen Ruo's suggestion is very targeted, that is, don't follow the Jianzhou Jurchen's intention. They want to destroy our main army, so we can do the opposite, go out of Fushun Pass, attack Hetuala, and force them to No rescue, but there is a problem here. If the Jianzhou Army fails to control the line between Fanhesuo and Lusuo, they will have to save it if they attack it. They will have to go around the border wall, which will be a nightmare for them. It's even impossible, but now the news comes back from Liaodong that both Fanhe Station and Yanlu Station have been occupied by the Jianzhou Army, and the Dusong Department can only stick to the Tieling Guard. In other words, nothing happens to the Liaohai Guard in the north. If it is occupied by the Jianzhou Army, then they don’t need to take a detour, and they can even directly reinforce us from Yanlu Station and Fanhe Station, or they can just take our retreat. We have to consider this."
Yang Sichang frowned, "Fei Xiong, if the Northern Front Army joins the battle, do you think we still need to worry about the rear path? If the Jianzhou Army takes the initiative to fight, then we can just be on the front line of Sanchaer Fort and Hoi An Fort. We will fight with them. If they dare not take the initiative to fight, we will fight all the way east, out of Fushun Pass, and force them to follow us. No matter what, we will take the initiative."
Yang Sichang's plausive words made it difficult for Wang Yingxiong to answer.
Theoretically, if all the northern front armies can join the battle in time, this war will indeed be invincible. How to fight is reasonable, but can it be done?
Now the Northern Front Army is stationed in western Liaoning. It is not easy to travel from western Liaoning to Liaodong. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In terms of time, we have to consider whether it is too late or too late.
And the key is to travel such a long distance, what to do with food and grass supplies? With tens of thousands of people eating horse chews, can Shenyang Zhongwei keep up?
Yang Sichang did not seem to consider this issue. He only felt that if the Northern Front Army could reach Shenyang Zhongwei within a month, everything could proceed as planned and catch the Jianzhou Jurchens by surprise.
Feng Ziying was silent and Wang Yingxiong was about to speak but stopped.
Now Yang Sichang is in the spotlight, he is a second-generation official, Yang He is now very popular in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and a short and poor man like Wang Yingxiong who comes from a poor family is not willing to conflict with him head-on.
Sun Chengzong thought for a while, "Wen Ruo's suggestion is very good, but there are several problems that need to be solved. First, how can the Northern Front Army get to Shenyang in time? They are thousands of miles away, and the Jianzhou Jurchens will not be unaware of it. In addition, Once the Northern Front Army moves, will the Chahar people also take action? The second is the problem of food and grass supply. This is a big problem. How much can the Shenyang Central Guard provide? If the Northern Front Army runs thousands of miles, it is impossible to bring much food and grass. Supply all the way is a problem, let alone the guarantee of Shenyang Zhongwei."
Feng Ziying finally spoke: "Let me add one more point, if everything goes smoothly, but Nurhachi still remains motionless and continues to trap Tielingwei, how should we respond?"
At this moment, even Zhang Huaichang and Sun Chengzong looked shocked, "Ziying, Nurhachi doesn't have such good determination, does he? He dares to ignore Hetuala? That is what he calls the foundation of the country."
Yang Sichang sneered, "Ziying, Jianzhou implements the Eight Banners System. To be honest, Nurhaci is a leader of a tribal alliance. If he dares to do this, the people under him will definitely make a fuss, and his position as leader will be shaken. He will never dare
Such a risk."
"That's not necessarily true. Hetuala said it was the Jurchen Holy Land. But before Nurhaci determined its status, it was just a larger town. But now Nurhachi has led his troops to capture Liaohaiwei (Anle Prefecture).
, As expected, it will be difficult for us to recapture Anle Prefecture in the short term. Anle Prefecture is not only a little bit better than Hetuala, how much will he care about Hetuala? Moreover, the Jurchens in Jianzhou have succeeded in this battle, and Nurhachi's prestige is higher than that of the Jurchens.
The height is already astonishing, the Shulhaqi father and son said
He will be killed if he is killed. Chu Ying, who wants to be the prince, will be relegated to the cold palace if he says that he is banished to the cold palace. The savage Jurchens flock to surrender, the Haixi Jurchens are trembling with fear, and the Horqin tribe is ogling. Who can shake his position?
?』
Feng Ziying's words were so reasonable that Zhang Huaichang, Sun Chengzong and Yang Sichang found it difficult to refute.
"If I were Nurhaci, I would resolutely trap the Tieling Guards and not attack them. I would force the Liaodong Army to rescue them and encircle them for reinforcements. Anyway, Lilusuo and Fanhe are in my hands, and the Daishan Department will act as a harasser. You have to go eastward.
If you fight, I will retreat. If you don't move, I will harass you. After exiting Fushun Pass, it will be my territory. I can spend more time with you. Can your food and fodder keep up? Even if you hit Hetuala,
I don’t want it anymore, I’ll let you take it, so what? Time is running out, how long can the Juniper Department of Tielingwei hold on? As long as the Juniper Department is swallowed up, Nurhachi will have the greatest victory in this battle, and Tielingwei will forget it.
It doesn't matter if we give it back to you, the border defense line has become a decoration, and Tieling Guards has become useless, unless we station heavy troops in Tieling Guards, but in that case, it will be easier to become the target of Jianzhou Jurchen."
Feng Ziying's idea made everyone present speechless. If this situation really happened, it would really be in a quagmire. The Northern Front Army was dragged there, fat and thin, and skinny to death.
, just the food supplies for more than 100,000 people can bring down the imperial court, and Liaodong Town simply cannot support such consumption.
"Ziying, according to what you said, there will never be peace in Liaodong." Zhang Huaichang said sadly. He was from Liaodong and a staunch leader in the war against the Jurchens in Jianzhou. Feng Ziying's words hit him hard.
"That's not necessarily the case. We still need to figure it out slowly, and we have begun to see results, but it still takes time. But now is not the time to talk about this. We still have to solve the current problem of the Juniper Department being surrounded." Feng Ziying shook.
Shaking his head: "Fei Xiong, do you have any other opinions?"
Wang Yingxiong wiped his face and said hesitantly: "When the war has developed to this point, I'm afraid reinforcements are necessary. In addition, I think the constant internal conflicts of the Liaodong Army are also an important factor in weakening its combat effectiveness. Otherwise, the Liaodong Army's combat effectiveness will not be outweighed by its military strength.
The Jianzhou Jurchens, who are at a disadvantage, fought so miserably, I suggest that the ministry may consider adjusting the candidates for Liaodong Town's general and deputy general soldiers."
Wang Yingxiong did not make any specific tactical suggestions. After all, that was what Yang Sichang was best at. If he tried to interrupt, he would only offend others, and he might not be able to come up with more reasonable suggestions. He could only give advice on Liaodong Town.
Suggestions were made for personnel matters.
This is also an urgent issue.
The discord between Cao Wenzhao and the local military commanders in Liaodong has affected the progress of the war. Now the two sides do not trust each other. If such a war continues, it will only lead to a greater crisis.
But is it appropriate to change generals before the war? Zhang Huaichang was also a little unsure.
Sun Chengzong is Zuo Shilang and is in charge of the Military Selection Department. If the chief officer of Liaodong Town is to be replaced, his attitude is crucial.
Sun Chengzong was also in a dilemma. Cao Wenzhao's performance was not bad, but the key is that Liaodong Town is still a border town dominated by local military generals. Generals like Cao Wenzhao who came from other towns have never been able to win the victory in Liaodong Town.
In terms of recognition from the military generals, Cao Wenzhao was far less sophisticated and smooth than Feng Tang. Of course, he could not compare with Feng Tang in terms of prestige.
In other words, maybe Cao Wenzhao is a qualified general, but he is not suitable for Liaodong Town.
Since it is not suitable, we must make decisive adjustments. Dangjuan continues to suffer from the chaos. Now the war situation is in a stalemate. Jun Song's tribe can still hold on for two or three months. Cao Wenzhao's headquarters and his He Renlong tribe do not have many troops.
If the Northern Front Army can arrive successfully, it is not unacceptable to let Zhao Lijiao take over.
"Master Shangshu, I think Feixiong's suggestion should be considered. Cao Wenzhao played well, but he didn't cooperate well with others. In comparison, Zhao Shujiao performed better. If possible, I suggest that Zhao Shujiao should teach him.
Replace Cao Wenzhao as the new commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town." Sun Chengzong thought for a moment before saying, "But it is recommended to wait until the Northern Front Army arrives in Shenyang before handing over."
"But what will happen to time and supplies when the Northern Front Army Corps arrives in Shenyang?" Zhang Huaichang asked puzzledly: "It seems that you are confident about it, Zhisheng?"
"Haha, you should ask Ziying. Denglai Navy has been operating in Dagu and Yuguan, and as far as I know, in Niu
Zhuang and Jinzhou have also been building docks. I wonder how the progress is? Maybe they can undertake transportation for such a war? "Sun Chengzong smiled and threw the topic to Feng Ziying.
Feng Ziying was very depressed. She didn't expect to be plotted by Sun Chengzong. It seemed that people had long been eyeing her layout in Yuguan, Dagu and Denglai naval forces. She was worthy of being one of the few soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty.
minister.
Zhang Huaichang was surprised, "Ziying, why can't you set up an ambush for us? I know you had plans in Yongping and Shuntian in Yuguan and Dagu. You also have plans in Niuzhuang and Jinzhou?"
Feng Ziying coughed in embarrassment, "Master Shangshu, how dare you lower your official position? It was just that when I was discussing with Shen Yourong, I suggested that he cooperate with Northland businessmen in the name of Denglai Navy, taking into account both the military and civilians, and prepare to build docks in Niuzhuang and Jinzhou.
The navy can protect civilian ships, but it also has the right to use the port terminals. Before going to Beijing, I had a talk with Shen Yourong at Tianjin Wei. There has been great progress in Niuzhuang, but not in Jinzhou."
