The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Chapter 348 Conquer the South, Pingxi, and Zhenbei!

Liu Sheng smiled and nodded, "I have also heard that these four people will be summoned at a certain date."

Liu Sheng didn't care about Li Banghua's recommendation of his fellow countrymen, and it could even be said that he was happy to see it.

Because he was not afraid of the so-called compatriots forming cliques in the DPRK - the work of Da'ei officials was more directional and more specific than that of the Ming Dynasty. There is basically no official position like the Royal Envoy that can take care of everything.

Coupled with other mechanisms, even if people from the same hometown want to form a party, it will not be as obvious as it was in the Ming Dynasty.

Later, Liu Sheng took Li Banghua to attend the meeting of the Military Council.

The main participants in the meeting of the Military Council were the chief officers of the three subordinate departments, as well as the five division commanders of the standing army, the division commander and the deputy division commander of the Guards Army.

Speaking of which, although Liu Sheng has established three major departments of military administration, staff, and armament in the Military Academy, he has not yet appointed ministers to each ministry, and he does not even have the right and left ministers.

The Ministry of Military Affairs currently has Li Banghua, the newly appointed Vice Minister of the Left.

The left minister of the staff is Ma Shimin, and the position of right minister Liu Sheng is planned to be left to Zhang Kuang. However, Zhang Kuang is currently serving as Yin Tianfu, so the position of right minister of the staff is vacant.

The left minister of the Ministry of Armaments was named Su Haojing. He came from the second phase of the military and political class. He assisted Liu Sheng and Li Changwen in managing the military affairs of the Yi army from the beginning. Although he was only in his thirties, it was natural for him to obtain the position of left minister.

Everyone bowed to Liu Sheng and then took their seats.

"Get on the military map!"

Liu Sheng said hello, and the guards of Wuying Palace who had been prepared immediately brought up a large map and hung it on a huge screen in Wuying Palace.

Liu Shengdao: "Today's meeting is mainly to clarify the next strategic goals of our army and study our army's combat plan for this autumn."

As he spoke, Liu Sheng took out his laser pointer and pointed at the southern area on the map.

“Currently, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan are still under the control of the Ming army in the south.

I hope that before the end of the year, we will win at least Fujian, Guangdong, Sichuan, and even Guizhou and Guangxi. "

After listening to Liu Sheng's explanation of the strategic goals, Yang Heqing, He Lianyue, Li Dingguo and even Shen Wandeng couldn't help but show excitement.

Da'ei wants to use troops in the south and west, and their four divisions will definitely come in handy.

This means that they can make meritorious deeds again.

Only Peng Youyi felt a little depressed - he led the Second Division to garrison in Xuzhou and was now mainly responsible for the war in northeastern Da'ei. It is estimated that the second division will have to wait until Damei captures Shandong.

Liu Sheng continued: "If you have any ideas about this autumn's battle plan, you can feel free to speak out."

After hearing these words, Yang Heqing stood up, clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to lead the first division to attack Fujian!"

Li Dingguo also stood up, clasped his fists and said, "I can lead the fifth division to win Guangdong!"

He Lianyue and Shen Wandeng stood up at the same time and said together: "I am willing to lead troops to attack Sichuan!"

Seeing that the generals were eager to fight, Liu Sheng was very happy and said with a smile: "I am very happy that you dare to fight. Please sit down first and be patient."

After speaking, Liu Sheng looked at Li Banghua and asked, "What do Li Qing think?"

Li Banghua said: "There is a saying in the art of war, which is to use troops to defeat the enemy and defeat the enemy without fighting. I think it would be better if Fujian, Guangdong and other places take the initiative to change their flags and surrender to Wei.

After all, if the army moves, even if it does not harass the local people, it will cost a lot of money and food, so it is not easy to move rashly. "

Hearing this, Yang Heqing and Helianyue were a little speechless.

I thought to myself, if Fujian, Guangdong, Sichuan and other places were to surrender without a fight, wouldn't their great opportunity for meritorious service have slipped away?

But no one dared to say this. Because they understood that the Yi army did spend money to fight.

Especially when using army artillery, artillery and artillery shells all cost money; the mules, horses, chariots, and civilians who pull the artillery also cost a lot of money.

Nowadays, there is even a saying in the military - once the cannon goes off, there is a thousand taels of gold!

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it also shows that using army artillery does cost a lot of money and food.

Hearing this, Liu Sheng looked at the big map on the screen again and said: "According to the Fengwei intelligence, the governor of Fujian in the Ming Dynasty is Xiao Yifu, and the governor of Guangdong and governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is Shen Youlong. Can we directly persuade these two to surrender?"

The governor of the Ming Dynasty was the chief military and political officer of a province. If he was willing to surrender, it would definitely have a great political and military impact, and he could even make a decision throughout the province.

If the governor with actual power surrenders, he will have such great influence.

At this time Li Banghua said: "As far as I know, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Shen Youlong, is from Huating, Songjiang Prefecture. If there are people in the court who are familiar with his hometown, they may go to Guangdong to persuade him."

Liu Sheng said: "Xunfengwei has already paid attention to the information about Xiao Yifu and Shen Youlong. Ma Jinshui, please tell everyone about it."

After the Xiuyi Guard was established, the Xunfeng Guard further clarified the position of its military intelligence agency. As the commander of the Xunfeng Guard, Ma Jinshui naturally participated in this important military meeting.

He had been prepared for it. He said "yes" when he heard the words, and then talked about the information about Xiao Yifu and Shen Youlong.

"Xiao Yifu, courtesy name Jiyou, was born in Mayong, Dongguan, Guangdong. He was elected in the first year of Tianqi, Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, and was first awarded the title of Magistrate of Changting County, Fujian Province.

In the following years, he served in Fujian, Guangxi and other southern provinces until he became the governor of Fujian.

Xiao Yifu is kind and helpful to others, and is known as "timely rain". During his tenure in Fujian, he led troops to suppress the bandits several times and was victorious. He was a man who knew how to fight. "

After a pause, Ma Jinshui continued: "Shen Youlong, courtesy name Yunsheng, is from Huating, Songjiang Prefecture, Nanzhili. He was a Jinshi in the [-]th year of Wanli and has a rich resume.

He once led Huang Binqing, who was then a guerrilla, to annihilate the famous demon thief Zhang Puwei in Jiangxi. During his tenure as governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he also suppressed local rebels many times. "

After listening to Ma Jinshui's information about Xiao Yifu and Shen Youlong, Yang Heqing and other generals calmed down.

They had to admit that neither of them sounded easy to fight.

It's not that they don't have the confidence to win, but it's probably going to take some effort and won't be easy.

Just like Dong Xiangheng, the previous governor of Zhejiang, he was not as good as Xiao Yifu and Shen Youlong in terms of military knowledge, but he performed a little more normally and allowed Yang Heqing to waste more than two months of effort to capture the whole of Zhejiang.

It can be seen from this that if Xiao Yifu and Shen Youlong insist on resisting the Yi army, they will definitely cause considerable obstacles to the Yi army's capture of Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi.

At this time, Ma Shimin said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Yifu and Shen Youlong look really difficult to deal with. Why not prepare the army to attack Fujian and Guangdong on the one hand, and select envoys on the other hand to see if they can persuade these two to surrender."

"Let's do it like this." Liu Sheng nodded, and then said seriously: "In the order, Yang Heqing will bear the seal of General Zhengnan and be the commander-in-chief of the South Route Army; Li Dingguo will bear the seal of General Pingnan and be the deputy commander-in-chief of the South Route Army; he will command the First Division of the Standing Army, The Fifth Division and some of the garrison troops and civilian warriors from Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Hunan will attack Fujian and Guangdong after the autumn harvest!"

Yang Heqing and Li Dingguo immediately stood up and performed a military salute, saying in a loud voice: "I accept your order!"

There were more than one clerk who came to the secretariat of Wuying Palace to draft military orders. Therefore, while one of the clerks was still writing quickly, Liu Sheng spoke again.

"In the proposed order, He Lianyue will be the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, and Shen Wandeng will be the deputy commander-in-chief of the West Route Army. They will command the third and fourth divisions of the standing army, as well as Hubei, Hunan, and Henan. Part of the garrison and civilian bravery will capture Sichuan after the autumn harvest!"

He Lianyue and Shen Wandeng also stood up and performed a military salute, saying in a loud voice: "I accept your order!"

Afterwards, Liu Sheng looked at Peng Youyi, who was obviously a little depressed, and said with a slight smile: "Draft the order again, Peng Youyi will bear the seal of Zhenbei General, lead the second division of the standing army to guard Xuzhou and Huai'an, and also command the armies of Henan and Huainan provinces Responsibility to defend against enemies!”

　First more.
