The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Li Yuanqing understood Chen Zhong's meaning in a moment.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the place which is even fatter than the hinterland of Liaozhong is naturally Mongolian grassland.

To be more accurate, the first to bear the brunt is the dogleg of the Late Jin Dynasty, the Horqin tribe, and the legendary Horqin prairie.

In later generations, in order to win a client, Li Yuanqing had the honor to go to the Horqin prairie and enjoy the scenery of Horqin prairie with his own eyes.

Horqin prairie is located in the southern slope of Daxing'an Mountains and the west section of Songliao plain. It is closely connected with the hinterland of Houjin, with beautiful scenery and abundant resources. Even compared with Baikal Lake area, which is the broadest grassland of Mongols, it will not give in much.

Especially in the early autumn, the horses and livestock of the Mongols were fattening up, and most of them lived in river areas. If they could be killed in the hinterland of Horqin grassland, let alone the fat cattle and sheep, they would be enough for Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong to "share the spoils".

For Keerqin grassland covetous, Li Yuanqing has not been a day or two days, said some bad, afraid of saliva.

However, Li Yuanqing also understood that it was very difficult for Changsheng camp and Chen Zhongbu to enter the hinterland of Horqin grassland at this time of year.

This is mainly due to the fact that both of them mainly use firearms.

At this time, the 3000 war horses in the military academy could only maintain 900 generals, more than 100 auxiliary troops, and a small amount of daily necessities, which could barely achieve three horses for one person.

This is still in the early autumn, without considering the horse fodder.

At that time, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were able to kill these barbarians for tens of thousands of Li. The most important tactic was "to support the war with war.".

If we support the war by fighting, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong are personally in command, and the 900 generals under their command are all elite. In terms of strategic implementation and equipment, there is no problem at all.

But in terms of the follow-up supply of weapons and ammunition, this is obviously quite difficult.

Naturally, Li Yuanqing will not reserve anything for Chen Zhong. He will analyze these concerns carefully.

But Chen Zhong laughed, "Yuanqing, you are a fan of the game. In fact, things are not so complicated. We don't really want to take Horqin grassland, but we want to take a walk there. Let these Tartars understand that there is no good end to follow the Houjin

Li Yuanqing's brow could not help wrinkling, "elder brother, do you mean we don't cut in from the hinterland of Liaozhong?"

Chen Zhong said with a smile: "Yuanqing, we don't have to take the Houjin as a matter of fact. Huang Taiji is not good at fighting against him. If we provoke him so easily, he is really anxious to play with us. It's not worth the loss. But Horqin grassland, there are many tribes. Not to say much, as long as we can get five thousand horses and a hundred heads of Beilu, we will be able to make a good deal with the new emperor. If we are lucky enough to catch a Taiji or a leader, we will make a lot of money. "

Li Yuanqing was so stunned that he could not even dream that Chen Zhong could be so cunning.

These days, his kung fu is really worth it

"Think about it, big brother."

Chen Zhong laughed straight. He knew that Li Yuanqing had been moved. He couldn't help adding another fire. "Yuanqing, if you want to go to the hinterland of Mongolia, there are two ways to go. One is from the sea, from the entrance of Heilongjiang. This is the one you used to cross. In addition to our fleet, it is also the most secure one. However, in terms of time, I'm afraid it will slow down a lot, which will not meet our expectation of training cavalry. The other is from the hinterland of Guangning to the Inner Mongolia. The advantage of this way is that it is simple and direct. It can enter the rhythm directly in the shortest time. However, there are also disadvantages. The itinerary of children will be very compact and may cause unnecessary casualties

"Yuanqing, in fact, I have been tangled in my heart these days. Although I prefer the latter, I can't make up my mind at the moment

At this time, Li Yuanqing fully understood Chen Zhong's meaning and nodded slowly.

Now that the matter has come to an end, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong are in fact fundamentally different.

Chen Zhong is a pure general. All his ideas are based on the interests of the army.

How is the army fit? How can progress be more effective? Will there be casualties? How much can you gain?

He was thinking from the purest military point of view.

On the other hand, Li Yuanqing, while taking care of these factors, has to consider more from the political aspect.

The butt decides the head.

Li Yuanqing suddenly found out that Rao is a reborn and has more than 500 years of experience in the world. However, his mind is not entirely focused on military affairs. Compared with Chen Zhong, a down-to-earth veteran who has been studying in the Military Academy for more than three months, he even It's a little bit of a setback

For a moment, Li Yuanqing suddenly shook his head and laughed, "elder brother, I suddenly found that I am going to the capital. It's really a bit wrong. I'm a lot behind you. "Chen Zhong didn't expect that Li Yuanqing would give him such a high evaluation. He couldn't help laughing: "Yuanqing, I'm just talking about things. This is just a simple idea for me. In all aspects, they are still immature. It's up to you to discuss it first. You have to make an idea. "

…………

Although Chen Zhong's idea is very realistic, after careful planning, the process is relatively clear, but Li Yuanqing is not in a hurry to settle the matter.

The main reason, as Chen Zhong said, is that this strategy is likely to cause a lot of casualties.

You should know that fighting is not only about the reduction of combat personnel. In fact, in a real war, the actual combat casualties are only a small part.

At this time, the military transportation was no more than that of later generations. It was directly aircraft, trains and trucks.

Even after the Jin army, even if it is full of cavalry, the front army and the follow-up supplies must not be too far apart, which means that the marching speed of the army will be limited within a framework.

If the main force of the army entered the hinterland of Mongolia, it would not matter. After all, up to now, the regulation process of Changsheng camp in this respect has already been quite perfect.

Even if he doesn't rely on the sea, even if there is no supply from the fleet and strong firepower as the support, Li Yuanqing is absolutely sure that he can retreat.

However, at this time, there were only 900 military academy generals at that time. It was a bit rash to enter the hinterland of Mongolia with too few human resources and horses.

These generals were not killed in the battle. Even if they were injured, they were enough for Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong to be heartbroken.

Chen Zhong carefully measured his thoughts for a few days, but he was not angry at all when he was accepted by Li Yuanqing.

This is mainly due to the character of Chen Zhong and the tacit understanding formed between him and the brothers Li Yuanqing over the years.

If there is a better choice, Chen Zhongning is willing to step back.

The same is true of Li Yuanqing.

This is also the most important reason why Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong have been cooperating with each other since the first year of Tianqi, which is almost invincible and invincible.

But Chen Zhong's careful planning is not futile.

Because it opened Li Yuanqing's brain hole.

After finishing the morning and morning practice and study, Li Yuanqing immediately gave the generals "homework".

The main body is how the 900 men in the Military Academy at this time can gain the most prestige and results in the battle field against Houjin while paying the minimum cost.

Li Yuanqing asked the generals to put forward one or several ideas according to the establishment, with the general manager as the unit and each general manager for three days. After three days, Li Yuanqing will hold a meeting of the whole staff to refine and summarize, and brainstorm ideas to determine the combat plan for the graduation season of the military academy.

Of course, if someone has a well-organized plan, he can also come up with it.

In the next three days, in addition to morning exercises and two hours in the morning, the officers spent the rest of their time in groups and brainstorming.

At noon, returning to the dormitory, Chen Zhong couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Li Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, I'm really convinced. How does your brain grow? Why didn't I think of it! This is the most direct purpose of our military academy! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! Yuanqing, I can't help it now. I don't know what kind of surprise these bastards will give us at that time! "

Li Yuanqing also laughed and was in a very happy mood, "elder brother, this matter, if it comes to credit, you are the first merit! As the old saying goes, I am standing on the shoulders of giants! Ha ha ha

When they met, they both laughed.

…………

From this afternoon, the children will not have to practice directly, but will spend all their time thinking about the graduation assignment assigned by Li Yuanqing.

In fact, the time they spend thinking about it is three and a half days. Although it is still very compact, they all know that this is the golden season, and there is not much time left for them to get the biggest harvest.

Although Wang Sanwa is only 23 years old this year, this boy has already occupied a high guerrilla position in Changsheng camp.

At this time, after shunzi went to Beijing for business, he took over the general post of the third General Commander in the military academy.

Different from her childhood when she joined the army, Wang Sanwa was already the father of four children, five wives and concubines. On the island, she had a large house with three entrances, covering an area of nearly 10 mu.

On the surface, this guy's change is more obvious.

From the age of seventeen or eighteen, he was promoted to a general manager. Many years of experience made him a mature man far different from his age. His face was firm, his eyes were sharp, his eyes were bright, and he had a neat beard on his chin.

Although he was not very tall, he was quite strong. His shoulders were wide and his back was thick. All of them were the result of the efforts made by the day after tomorrow.

One can see that he is a steady and powerful man.Li Yuanqing arranged this task after noon. In the dining hall at lunch, the news had already exploded among the brothers.

Everyone knows that if their own suggestions can be adopted, they will surely win the hearts of the general and Chen Shuai, which is almost a step up to heaven.

Who is willing to neglect easily?

Wang Sanwa is no exception.

After lunch, Wang Sanwa rushed back to the dormitory, but happened to meet, his roommate Lu Jinshan, also rushed to the dormitory.

As soon as he saw Wang Sanwa, Lu Jinshan couldn't help laughing: "Lao Wang, I've been looking for you in the canteen just now, but the brothers are so excited that they can't find anyone. I guess you must have come back first. What about? Do you have a score? "

Although Lu Jinshan was not a guerrilla at this time, he was a Veteran General of the Changsheng camp, with great achievements.

Compared with Wang Sanwa, Lu Jinshan is only qualified to join the longevity camp, a little bit shallow, but his ability is beyond doubt.

Of course, only senior officers of their rank can enjoy the treatment of one dormitory for two people. For other ordinary officers, there are only ten or twenty officers.

"Lao Lu, I'm going to find you. Let's breathe first. This time, the general has given us a great opportunity. I'm going to get the three of us together to brainstorm. Yeah. Let's go to the dormitory of grade four. Four Jia is 20 people. It is spacious enough. Our hundred brothers should be able to bloom. "
