About fifteen miles southwest of Beiguan, there is Qingwangzhuang.
Like other villages in the Northeast, this village is both small and large.
The small thing is that Zhuangzi has a small population, but the big thing is that it is surrounded by vast black land.
It was originally the fiefdom of a prince, but since the Beihai Pass was breached, the prince's descendants had already fled far away with their families and papers, and now it has become the base camp of the Northern Army.
The conference room was the original living room of the prince's family.
Huang Ming sat at the top, and a group of generals from various places were sitting neatly below.
"Where is the prince?" Huang Ming turned his head.
Of course he was not asking about the original owner of Qingwang Village, but Chen Xiulan who went north with the army.
The little guard looked a little strange, "Back to the general, as usual, the prince is practicing martial arts in the camp. He said that if he wants to charge into the battle, just let us call him. He doesn't understand the rest, so don't call him."
After hearing this, all the generals' faces twisted in unison, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.
They dare not even think about asking the dignified prince to charge into the battle.
But fortunately, at least this man abides by the rules and is not as ridiculous as the prince and Chen Xiuzhu. They are stationed at the border and even during the war, they dare to go out of the military camp to steal jade...
cough.
Huang Ming coughed and said, "Military and national affairs are important. Since the prince is unwilling to come, let's have a meeting without waiting for him."
"Yes!" All the generals agreed one after another.
If it were more than a year ago, to the generals garrisoning in these places, the Huang Ming in front of them could be said to be unknown.
However, since the Dingxi counterattack and through the vigorous publicity of the Yunchui Banmonthly Newspaper, his name and other powerful generals, such as Huo Yun, Xia Bangwei, Ma Dali, Lei Long, etc., have become widely known.
Especially Huang Ming.
With little food and clothing, and with the Xiliang people in front of them and the Laigu rebels behind them, with a mere two thousand people, they went east to pacify Shannan County, speeding up the process of the empire's counterinsurgency; going west, they fought to conquer the west.
Liang's 20,000-strong army blocked the Luoxia Mountains, and finally forced Xueyue Yingxiang to lead his men back to Dingxi County, laying the foundation for the victory of the Dingxi counterattack...
It can be said that he has experienced hundreds of battles and has outstanding military exploits.
In addition, Prince Ning is now at the peak of his powers, and Huang Ming is the grandson of Zhen Guo Gongfu.
It can be said that you need ability and ability, and you need background and background.
Therefore, no matter what these generals who came from various places to guard troops think or how unruly they are, on the surface, they all have to sit down and listen to orders.
"Everyone," Huang Ming pondered for a while, "I don't need to elaborate on the importance of Beihaiguan to the northern frontier of the empire. The battle of recovery will definitely begin. Therefore, we must make all pre-war preparations and be ready for orders at any time. If there is any neglect,
, we will all be severely punished without slacking off.”
"Yes!" Everyone responded loudly.
"Very good." Huang Ming nodded with satisfaction.
He strode to the map and said, "Come down, we have to do two things to conquer the Northern Army."
"First, widen and guard the post road leading to Jiuyuan County, effectively ensure the logistics supply of the army and the transportation of siege equipment, and at the same time, beware of Japanese pirates attacking from the south. This task is carried out by troops from the Southwest, Central South and Baihua Districts
The garrison is responsible."
brush!
The three generals stood up at once and said, "I have the order."
"General," someone suddenly stood up hesitantly, "I have an idea and I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Huang Ming was not surprised. He looked at the man silently for a while and then nodded slowly, "Zhu Qianchang, please speak!"
Zhu Qianchang grinned and walked to the map in a few steps.
He stretched out his hand and drew a big circle around Jiuyuan County.
"General and brothers, please see that there is now the East China Sea Barrier on the sea, and the Dinghai Pier or Huayang County is guarded by the entire Central Army Corps. In addition, the Jiuyuan Racecourse is guarded by Master Mo's northern garrison. The troops are very abundant. The Japanese pirates
You shouldn’t be able to get ashore.”
"Therefore, my subordinates feel that there is no need to send too many troops to guard the rear."
Buzz
"That's what Zhu Qianchang said."
"That makes sense."
"I personally agree with Lao Zhu's opinion. Siege warfare consumes the most people. We don't have many troops. We really shouldn't put so many soldiers in the rear to build roads. Once Beiguan is recovered, brothers may not be able to share anything.
Credit.”
"That's right. We brothers came all the way here to fight and gain merit and honor our ancestors, not to build roads."
…
Some of the generals below nodded in agreement, while others sat still, but their eyes all turned to Huang Ming.
"Everyone," amidst the noise, the military advisor beside Huang Ming stood up with a smile.
If there were any guards or staff from the Ming Palace among the generals sitting here, they would definitely recognize it at a glance. This military advisor was none other than Chen Xiujian's former chief staff officer, Mr. Wu.
"As far as I know, the Starfall Army has been building and expanding post roads in the west of Baekje for more than a year after moving to Tamaki County. This was an order given to me personally by General Wei..."
Well.
The voices in the conference room suddenly dropped.
Xingluo, as the number one army in Yunchui and even the entire continent, was building roads honestly. They were just some local garrison troops, gathered here and there, so they had the nerve to make a fuss?
A general couldn't help but squinted and stood up, "I'm sorry, sir, may I ask who you are..."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone tugged at his clothes and looked at him like a fool.
You can directly hear the orders given by Wei Junqian in the words of this military advisor. Do you still need to ask who he is?
"very good."
When the conference hall became completely quiet, Mr. Wu raised his eyes and focused on the large map not far away.
"Recovering Beihaiguan is a big battle and a hard battle. At the same time, it is also part of our soldiers' efforts to protect the entire Yunchui mainland. This is a comprehensive and coordinated war. Each legion and each garrison has its own clear mission.
.Therefore, the general’s order is by no means in vain..."
The implication is that your level is not high enough, just do your job well. Ask other things that you should ask, and don't ask those that shouldn't be asked.
When everyone came back to their senses, they couldn't help but look at each other, and in the end they could only nod in agreement.
Huang Ming nodded gratefully to Mr. Wu and continued to arrange the next order.
Now no one had any doubts. They just obeyed whatever Huang Ming said.
Soon the meeting ended and all the generals left in a hurry.
The only people left in the large conference room were Huang Ming and Mr. Wu, who was dressed in Confucian uniform.
Huang Ming looked at the map silently, "Sir, the battle to retake Beihaiguan is about to begin. But Beihaiguan...the city is high and the walls are strong, and the Japanese pirates inside are tenacious. I wonder where the first battle will begin?"
Mr. Wu chuckled and said, "Beihai."
The walls of Beihaiguan City were high and the defenders in the city were determined. The siege equipment required was huge and heavy.
No matter how wide and large the North-South Post Road is, it may not be able to transport so much baggage at one time, so the waterway must be the top priority.
By guarding Beihai, we can stop Masato Nei's request for help, and at the same time, we can continuously transport materials and troops to Beihai Customs.
Huang Ming nodded.
He glanced at the map again, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Beiguan Shipyard.
hehe.
Mr. Wu’s smile remained unchanged.
"Don't worry, General Huang. Someone has already attacked the shipyard. I believe it will be under our control soon."
