"I still mean that. To deal with such an opponent, we cannot just rely on defense. We are fighting cunning wolves, so we must be more cunning than them."
Sherman's words completely aroused everyone's interest, and everyone looked at him inquiringly.
He continued: "The Kansas Army can attack anywhere and at any time because they have no target they must defend."
"If we want to deal with them, we need to find someone who can restrain them, and the only one who can restrain them is Mr. Davis from the South. They are the big sponsors of the Kansas Army."
Seeing Marshall lying there, Rosecrans asked impatiently: "General Marshall, do you have any plans?"
"Yes, General Rosecrans, I am going to lead the troops south. Since the Kansas Army can go north to attack our hinterland, why can't we go south? Our enemy is the entire South, not just the Kansas Army."
At this time, Thomas on the side asked: "Go south? But some of our troops have been dispersed to support Minnesota. Now the remaining troops have to defend such a long front, which is already a bit stretched. General Sherman, you want to lead the troops south, the troops are too large."
There shouldn’t be any effect if it’s too little.”
Marshall quickly explained: "Everyone, after we supported Minnesota, our strength was basically the same as that of the Kansas Army. If it is defense, this many troops are enough."
"Of course, with the Kansas Army's style of play, no matter how many troops we have, we can't completely block the opponent. In this case, we might as well only defend the main cities. Other small places can be fortified and cleared, so that we can free up a
A mobile force. I will lead this new force directly into the rear of the Southern Army. This time we will let the Southerners feel the feeling of being attacked from the rear."
Everyone took a breath of air-conditioning. General Sherman seemed so gentle and gentle, but they didn't expect that the tactics he proposed were so bold.
"Mr. Sherman, your idea is very bold. The number of troops we can allocate here is only 50,000 at most. If we go straight into the rear of the Southerners, they may be surrounded by them," John Pope said.
He was very interested in Sherman's proposal.
"So I hope to give me fifty thousand men from the Indiana Legion," Sherman said.
"I want to go south from Kentucky, go straight to the Great Smoky Mountains, and then climb over."
"Are you preparing to attack Atlanta?" General Robert was the first to react.
"Yes, Atlanta is no less important to the Southerners than Chicago. As long as I lead the army to kill it, the troops that the South supported the Kansas Army must go back to support. In this case, only the Chinese Army will be left.
It’s not enough to launch another attack on us.”
Sherman told the truth.
It gradually became clear in everyone's hearts.
"This is indeed a good idea. It will not only suppress the attack of the Kansas Army. If we fight it well, it will also build up the reputation of our Western Army. Let the gentlemen in Washington see that the young men in the West are the bravest.
" Rosecrans said.
John Pope had a look of embarrassment on his face because he was sent here by Washington.
"I hope to go south with General Sherman." John Pope was very interested in this plan.
When he was in Washington, he advocated attacking the Confederate rear from western Virginia.
But now that the North and the South have built a long line of defense in Virginia, it doesn't make much sense to attack again at this time.
On the contrary, the offensive route chosen by Sherman was very concealed.
But the requirements for soldiers and officers are relatively high.
The Great Smoky Mountains, also known as the Great Smoky Mountains, are part of the Appalachian Mountains.
In the early days, the Appalachian Mountains formed the western boundary of America.
The earliest thirteen states were basically located east of the Appalachian Mountains.
As you can tell from the name of this mountain range, it is filled with smoke all year round.
Especially now that it is summer, the warm and humid air blowing from the east Atlantic Ocean makes it humid and rainy.
It's going to be hard to get over here.
Of course, this also means that it is difficult for the southerners to think that they will attack from here.
Several senior officials in the Western Theater of America finally decided to send 50,000 troops west to support Minnesota. At the same time, they selected 50,000 troops from the Indiana and Kentucky troops and gave them to Sherman to lead from Kentucky through the Great Smoky Mountains.
Directly into Georgia, the heartland of the Confederate army.
Wall did not make any movement at this time. He only sent a small group of troops to continuously create friction in the confrontation area between the two sides.
Create pressure on the Northern Army and create a posture of being ready to attack at any time.
The Yintian people had already captured the entire city of St. Paul.
The whole city was almost deserted.
The white men would not surrender to the Yintians.
They both know very well that neither side will let the other go.
Most of these white men in the west participated in the massacre of the Yin Di'an people.
Just like a hunter cannot surrender to wolves because he knows that the wolves will not show mercy to them.
However, Wall did not expect that the northerners would come up with such a bold plan to go south.
The Yin Di'an people continued to attack east and south.
They would not stop as long as they did not encounter the main force of the Northern Army.
In the city of St. Paul, some Yintian non-combatants continuously moved the city's material resources to the rear.
The west bank of the Mississippi River was their temporary destination.
Liu Qingnan paid close attention to the movements of the Yin Di'an people in Tielingbao, and someone would inform him of the latest situation by telegram every half a day.
He read the several pieces of information in his hand again, then compared it with the map, and then said to the staff officer beside him: "Let the army prepare for it, we will leave tomorrow morning."
Compared to the entire Great China Circle, this small battlefield in western Millennium could not create even a single ripple.
Dong Shuheng has already started preparing for his five-year agreement.
Of course, he doesn't need to seek votes for himself.
All he needs to do is establish a complete handover system locally.
As for the so-called voting, the vassal states below are like eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.
In the Fuso Protectorate and many vassal states on the Three Islands, a similar scene has occurred recently.
A large number of people gathered in front of a temple in Tosa Domain.
The largest number were ordinary people wearing commoners and unlined upper garments, all of whom were kneeling in the square in front of the temple. A circle inside were vassal soldiers wearing various types of armor.
Further inside are the daimyo in brocade robes and his family elders and generals.
In the middle stood an official from the Fuso Protectorate in a civilian uniform of the Fuxing Army.
This is a short local Fusang official with a mustache.
The man muttered words, and everyone followed his instructions and repeated the movements of admiration and worship.
The people in the outer circle could not actually see anything. They had to wait until the nobles in front left before they could line up to see the portrait of the co-owner.
Worshiping the co-lord god will become an important local festival celebration in Fuso in the future.
"Watanabe, which one do you think is more powerful, the co-leader or the original Amaterasu?" After the crowd dispersed, a thin Fuso man asked his companion.
"Of course the Co-Master God is so powerful. Haven't you heard that wherever the sun can shine, there is land under the jurisdiction of the Co-Master God?" said the short and stocky man named Watanabe.
"Amaterasu can only shine on a few of our islands, but the Great God can shine on the whole world. You see how many people around us have moved out. Listening to those who have gone out, there are no people everywhere outside.
No matter how many people can cultivate the empty land, there are wild animals everywhere on the barren land. As long as you have a gun, you can have endless prey."
"You know? They are tired of eating meat. When Murakami came back last time, he clamored for wild vegetable dumplings, saying he missed the taste."
"Watanabe, I also want to apply to go out to work as a laborer. I've had enough of wild vegetable dumplings for a long time. I want to eat meat. Anyway, we are all subjects of the Communist God now, and he will definitely protect us." The man said excitedly.
Speaking of.
In his mind, he had imagined eating meat every day until his teeth became angry.
"Go, let's go together. Neither of our families has land, and we are not samurai. We have stayed here for a year and worked for the landlords, but we have gotten nothing." Watanabe agreed very much with his companion's idea.
"There are so many people going to Nanhua now, and the treatment there is the best. I think we should go there. After settling in, we can come back and bring our family members there, so that our two families can continue to rely on each other.
Together."
…
Fuso Kyoto City has now been renamed Sihua City. Qi Bin, who had just returned not long ago, met Yang Yang again.
"Mr. Qi Bin, I really want to thank you for the success of this matter." Yang Yang recently came to Fusang again.
He, the instigator, has never even seen Dong Shuheng's face until now.
But that didn't stop him from working tirelessly on this matter.
Many people didn't understand why Dong Shuheng didn't summon Yang Yang.
In their opinion, this Yang Yang is at least a minister of the Dragon.
Even if you, Dong Shuheng, don't give me an official position, you should at least summon him to show your favor.
But Dong Shuheng acted as if he didn't know Yang Yang.
The intelligence department has already investigated this person carefully.
Dong Shuheng put him aside because he actually didn't want to foster this kind of trend.
If someone wants to be in power next time, come out and arrange what kind of power he has.
Everyone else regards power as life and enjoys it like sweetmeat. Only Dong Shuheng himself knows what he wants?
He just wants to make up for the regrets of his previous life in this illusory yet real world.
Practice some of your own ideas here.
Here I can accomplish some goals that I could not even imagine in my previous life.
Although it was not recognized by Dong Shuheng.
This Yang Yang still used his excellent eloquence to travel around various vassal states and prospered as a royalist scholar.
No matter which country he goes to, Yang Yang is always a guest of high-level officials.
Now all the vassal states are voting.
But their methods are different.
Like the daimyo under Fuso, they were first deified, worshiped by the whole people, and then went through the motions to vote for their own gods.
Some are more open-minded and first introduce the situation and then organize people to vote in writing.
In many cases, the government simply does the work for the people.
Our President Dong Da has no control over these details anyway.
He originally made this request just to delay some time so that he could do some preparations.
Furthermore, it is also necessary to give one’s new identity procedural justice.
"Mr. Yang, I didn't do anything. Everything I did was approved by the president." Qi Bin did not accept Yang Yang's compliment.
Yang Yang helped him get a head start on this matter, but this was what he had to do in the first place.
Qi Bin had already thought of planning a future for Dong Shuheng when he took office as the Protector of Fuso.
That's why he would spare no effort to make the emperor extinct.
Let the whole Fuso lose its original cohesion.
"Mr. Yang, actually I have a suggestion." Qi Bin said to Yang Yang meaningfully.
"Yang is all ears." Yang Yang said with cupped hands.
"If Mr. Yang wants to enter an official career in the future, I suggest that he study with peace of mind in the past few years. There is no problem for him to go around and look around, but there are some things that cannot be crossed, and the people above will see it. The president is not unreasonable.
I know sir, but I just feel that his heart is not calm enough." Qi Bin said.
Yang Yang was a little dissatisfied with Qi Bin's advice, but he still handed it over and thanked him.
What Yang Yang admires most are those madmen in ancient times.
How can you attract the attention of those in power without being arrogant?
Such madmen generally have two endings: one is to be favored by a superior, treated as a guest, and suddenly reach a high position.
The other is to directly offend the superior and be dragged out to die.
Yang Yang was confident that he could do the first situation, and he knew that Dong Shuheng would not do the second behavior.
But he didn't expect Dong Shuheng to adopt the third method, which was to pretend to be deaf and mute and ignore him.
For a person in a superior position, this approach is a bit rogue.
But Dong Shuheng was originally a maverick and a leader, and others had long been accustomed to many of his unconventional practices.
Compared to Dong Shuheng, his elder brother Dong Shutong is more like the locals.
At this time, Dong Shutong was patrolling his territory with Queen Zhumu of Donghua.
They started from Cloud City and headed southeast. Their first stop was Lake Titicaca.
Most of the people living here are Yin Di'an people.
Dong Shutong and Zhumu held a grand sacrificial event here.
The war has been over for more than half a year.
A large number of militiamen recovered and Donghua's manpower began to increase.
The royal family of the Donghua Empire made a rare large-scale construction project and built a sun temple by the lake.
The gate of the temple faces the east, and you have to climb more than two hundred steps to reach the top of the temple.
