Chongzhen Undergraduates

Zhu Youjian put Daming's most difficult burden on Chen Zilong's shoulders. It is estimated that other people would give up the burden.

"You don't have to worry about military affairs, you just need to stabilize the local area, form a bureaucratic and administrative team, and organize the people to resume production."

Zhu Youjian received Chen Zilong with a pot of spicy hot pot. Since he came to Chongqing, he felt that hot pot should be eaten in Chongqing to be considered authentic.

As a native of Songjiang, Chen Zilong was caught alive by the hot pot with snot and tears, and his lips were swollen like two sausages, but he dared not stop eating.

Gu Yanwu, on the other hand, was overwhelmed with food, and was desperately adding ingredients to the pot.Especially for duck intestines, Gu Yanwu followed Zhu Youjian's "up and down" steps, and he looked good.

"You know me, I don't know anything about military affairs. I'd rather farm than fight." Chen Zilong snorted and wrung his nose hard. He was so sweaty after eating.

The two provinces of Sichuan and Hubei are the places directly affected by Zhang Xianzhong's crimes.The local officials don't know how many times they have changed. You come and I send officials in turn, and the officials and gentry are also the weakest.

Zhu Youjian wants to pay the government and the gentry together, and the resistance encountered here is the least, and he can also use the name of the front-line theater to prevaricate.

"I sent you here to farm the land. After a year, I want to see grain." Zhu Youjian handed Chen Zilong a cigarette, which was the first batch of products that Ji Biao asked someone to try out.

Both Yunnan and Guizhou provinces are not grain-producing areas. Hunan has been subsidizing Hubei with grain for more than a year, and the people may cry if they subsidize this way for a long time.As for the Chengdu Plain, it is foreseeable that nearly a million troops will gather here in the future, and food is a bottomless pit.

Even if Daming won the battle in Shuzhong, he still faced the food problem.Daming is now different from Houjin. The main grain producing areas of Daming are still directly facing the threat of war, while the food problem of Houjin has been solved.

Chen Zilong has only just come to Sichuan and Hubei. This winter's winter wheat will not be able to catch up, so he can only plant a crop of potatoes and corn for the next year's summer harvest.However, after the recovery of the Jianghan Plain last year, there should still be a lot of harvest in the summer harvest.

At present, the food of the Sichuan Army is still barely supported by Yunnan and Guizhou. It is not realistic to transport the food from the Three Gorges, and Zhu Youjian doesn't know how long it can last.

"Who is the Governor of Sichuan?" Chen Zilong glanced at Gu Yanwu.

"Don't look at me, I can't be." Gu Yanwu continued to stir the hot pot with his chopsticks.

"At present, the governor of Sichuan still needs someone who is familiar with the situation in Sichuan. Ma Gan is more familiar with it. He should stay as the governor of Sichuan."

This hot pot meal revealed the political situation of the entire Sichuan and Hubei provinces, and basically determined the tasks for the next one or two years.Of course, these things have a premise: Zhu Youjian must ensure military victory, otherwise everything is empty talk.

For the other two provinces in the Southwest, Guizhou can continue to implement land reform and land transfer.Zhu Youjian, who pays the government and the gentry together, can't count on Lu Daqi, and this guy's skills seem to be inferior to Shi Kefa.

Yunnan is a strange place, or it is the Ming version of one country, two systems.Zhu Youjian needed time to negotiate with Mu Tianbo, but unfortunately he didn't have time now.

No matter how crazy Zhang Xianzhong is, he will never fail to see the big moves of the Ming court in Chongqing.Can the Daxi regime let Zhu Youjian reorganize his troops in Chongqing?

Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Xianzhong sent out Sun Kewang, the best man in Daxi, and led [-] troops to attack Chongqing.

"According to the information, Zhang Kewang has already assembled [-] elite troops in Suining, and is preparing to go south. Their attack can only focus on the Diaoyu City in Hechuan. The training work of our army has not yet been completed. How to defend the Diaoyu City, please discuss. talk."

As the first high-level military meeting of the Sichuan Army, Dang Shousu, the deputy chief of staff, was very excited.

In fact, the commanders and commanders of the legions who are sitting today have never held such a military meeting. Everyone sits around an oval table and thinks about things facing a large map.

Before the Ming Dynasty, when gathering generals to hold combat meetings, the generals were called at the governor level and then issued orders. The participation of the generals below was not so high.

Today's meeting, Chen Zilong, the governor of Sichuan and Hubei, was basically an observer. He mainly came to listen to what needs to be done in the local area after the combat deployment was issued.

In other words, the governor has the final say on how to fight this battle, but the generals in the theater have the final say.This can be regarded as directly weakening the right of civilian officials to lead the army.

Zuo Maodi is the minister of the Ministry of War and the chief of staff of the Sichuan Army. Basically, the Sichuan Army is actually deployed by him, and Zeng Ying, as the deputy commander, is the one who finally gives the task.And Deng Zhirong is just a doll listening to lectures, taking notes seriously.

"Where is Zhang Dingguo now?" Zhang Xianzhong is not dead yet, and his four adoptive sons have not recovered their original nature. Sun Kewang is now called Zhang Kewang, so Li Dingguo will naturally be called Zhang Dingguo.

Zhu Youjian is not afraid of Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Nengqi, he must be afraid of Zhang Kewang and Zhang Dingguo.Now that one of these two monsters has come out, the other must know where it is and what it is doing.

"Zhang Dingguo is currently in western Sichuan busy opening a route to go south to Yunnan." Deng Zhirong knew what Zhu Youjian was concerned about. Zhang Dingguo is going to Ya'an, trying to find a way to go south."

Zhu Youjian understood what Deng Zhirong said.The main sites of Muwangfu are in Lijiang and Chuxiong.If the Daxi regime wants to enter Yunnan, it must either go through Yibin, or go through Ya'an and Liangshan.The problem is that the road on the western front is not easy, so Zhang Dingguo has no record during this period, and he may be trapped in western Sichuan.

"Then don't be afraid, just block Zhang Kewang in Hechuan." Zhu Youjian heaved a sigh of relief, only one evildoer came, and he was still a little confident in his heart.If both come, he has to consider whether to go all out.

"Your Majesty is saying that we only need to defend and not fight decisively?" Dang Shousu was taken aback. According to his experience as a raider, basically he rarely succeeded in defending the city.Li Zicheng's army could either attack or run.

"What kind of battle will we decide? Let's talk about it after our army is integrated. Since Zhang Kewang is willing to bite the bone, let him take a bite and try it." Zuo Maodi said with a smile.

"You guys don't know the combat style and weapons and equipment of the Sichuan Army, and you are not familiar with the army's organizational system. It just so happens that Zhang Kewang is here, and each army can send an observation group to Diaoyu City to observe how the old Sichuan Army fights.

Hao Yaoqi, Liu Tichun, among your Eighth Army and Tenth Army, the Laochuan Army has the most foundation, and Diaoyu City and Hechuan City will be handed over to you.Yu Dahai's navy dispatched a division to assist. "

"Your Majesty, are our troops a little less?" Yang Zhan was a little worried, he felt that the emperor was just playing tricks.

"That's because you don't know how many cannons our Eighth Army has equipped." Hao Yaoqi laughed.

"How much?" Yang Zhan's troops are still training and lining up for the time being, and the weapons and equipment are still his own pile of rags. He knows the least about the Sichuan Army.

"Eight" Hao Yaoqi gestured a character horoscope, and Yang Zhan asked in surprise, "Eight general cannons?"

In Yang Zhan's view, being able to deploy eight general cannons in Diaoyu City is already very powerful.Add some small cannons, Francophones, etc., and it's already very good.

"Hahaha." There was laughter in the meeting room.

"Sixty five-jin cannons and twenty ten-jin cannons." Hao Yaoqi smiled triumphantly and said, "The emperor has transferred the entire artillery division to Diaoyu City."

"Zhang Kewang dares to come, I'll let him have a good drink." Liu Tichun also said harshly.

Chapter 3 Eleven: Diaoyu City Confirmed Eyes

The Diaoyu City of later generations was actually built on the basis of the ruins of the Southern Song Dynasty. The entire defense system was reduced by [-]%, and it was just a fake village.

The real Diaoyu City in the Southern Song Dynasty is a large-depth defense system built by Paul on the peninsula where the three rivers converge in Diaoyu City, relying on the six-in-one "mountain, water, land, city, army, and people".

The first is the use of "mountain".Diaoyu Mountain, the commanding height of the peninsula, is divided into two distinct terraces. Two levels of cliffs tens of meters high are naturally formed. A city wall is built along the cliff.Sub-fortresses were also built on the important shorter hills around Diaoyu Mountain, forming horns with the core position, forming crossfire.

The second is the use of "water" and "earth".With the help of the peninsula landform formed by the confluence of Jialing River, Qujiang River and Fujiang River, Diaoyu City is surrounded by water on three sides in the south, north and west, forming a natural moat. It is difficult for the Mongolian army who is not used to water warfare to attack and blockade.

On the only east side connected to the land, there is a natural gully about 2 kilometers long and more than 20 meters wide blocking the north and the south. It is difficult for the Mongolian army to launch a formation group charge. The large troops are separated into small groups by the terrain and cannot concentrate superior forces Forming a "fist" is a "refueling tactic" that is taboo for military strategists.

In addition, it is a combination of "war" and "defense".The Diaoyucheng Peninsula surrounded by water on three sides is also the "granary" of the defenders. The vast area of ​​fields at the foot of the Diaoyucheng Mountains and abundant water sources have provided the foundation for the whole city to stick to for a long time. To transport food and salaries, to fight to defend."

And when the commanders of the Sichuan Army visited the Diaoyu City by boat, they saw a new Diaoyu City that had been repaired for nearly two months.Fan Laogen was leading [-] engineers, sweating profusely on the construction site, and there were tens of thousands of civilian workers on the entire construction site.The official army did not enter at all, and was only responsible for guarding the periphery for dozens of miles.

Compared with Xuzhou City Defense, Zhu Youjian has natural confidence in Diaoyu City.Before there were real cannons, this place was the dead end of the attackers, and they could even produce some food by themselves.

"Here, Zhang Kewang probably wouldn't come to fight it. If it were me, I would definitely walk away." Yang Zhan looked at Diaoyu City and shuddered. Only a fool would come to attack such a defense system.

"So, Hechuan City on the opposite side of the river needs someone to defend it. Wait for Zhang Kewang to attack and then give up. It's like a piece of meat. You've already eaten half of it. Would you be willing to throw away the other half?"

"The emperor intends to use Hechuan City as a bait to catch Zhang Kewang?"

"Is this bait enough?" Zhu Youjian was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Yang Zhan would praise him.

"I'm afraid it's not enough, Diaoyu City is too famous." But Yang Zhan did not expect to pour cold water on it. It seems that Yang Zhan is really arrogant, but Zhu Youjian is not disgusted.

"Then add my dragon flag." Zhu Youjian gritted his teeth and said.
