Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

Forehead...

After being scolded by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong's eyes became clearer.

really...

If you can come back alive this time, you will definitely have military merit.

When Jinyiwei investigates and finds out that you dare to embezzle dirty money, it will be great fun.

"Ahem, I was blindfolded."

Zhang Xianzhong touched his nose and admitted his mistake simply.

Li Zicheng saw that this guy really realized the seriousness of the problem, so he stopped talking.

Instead, he took out the map and pointed quickly.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

"I will recruit troops tomorrow."

"Looking at today's situation, it is estimated that we can attract two to three thousand people."

"At that time, our troops will be divided into two groups. You will lead five hundred people to garrison the village and protect the surrounding people."

"Then take the money and continue recruiting troops."

"I will take the remaining manpower to the Han River to inquire about the situation."

"By the way, let's see if we can get in touch with someone in Nanyang."

"If the war has not started yet, I will continue to recruit troops from the surrounding villages."

"Our goal is simple. If there is a fight in Xiangyang City, we will help."

"If Xiangyang City hasn't started fighting yet, we will arrest all the surrounding landlords and squires!"

"When the time comes, it will be all credit to His Majesty."

Their first step has gone very smoothly.

At present, there is money and food, but what is lacking is manpower.

We must quickly recruit enough troops before the war begins.

Li Zicheng estimated that it would take at least 10,000 people to make a difference.

"it is good."

"It's all up to you."

"If there is any danger, send me a message immediately."

"I will bring people to support immediately."

Zhang Xianzhong didn't have much opinion after hearing this. This method is quite good.

If you work hard and steadily, you might actually be able to make a name for yourself.

"Well, remember to take stock of the food and grass!"

"Especially silver, every tael must be accounted for."

"Otherwise, if this Jin Yiwei bites someone, he won't recognize who you are."

Li Zicheng breathed out and touched his chin before adding a few more sentences.

He didn't want to ruin his military success just because of a few taels of silver.

"Do not worry."

"I'm not short-sighted either."

Zhang Xianzhong smiled and patted Li Zicheng on the shoulder with an expression that said, "I understand."

Seeing this, Li Zicheng stopped talking nonsense.

Lie down on the bed and start preparing for the next move.

-----------------------------

Just when the inside of Ming Dynasty was like a powder keg, it was about to explode.

Beyond the Wall, North Korea.

Mao Wenlong looked out the window with a serious expression.

The wind is blowing!

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was in civil strife, and Huang Taiji and the Japanese pirates were bound to take action.

He could even smell the smoke of war.

His intuition told him that North Korea would inevitably become the focus of the attack.

This feeling made Mao Wenlong very uncomfortable.

Since arriving in North Korea, he has been under great pressure.

The main reason is that North Korea is too big and the cities in various places lack necessary maintenance.

It is extremely difficult to construct a reasonable line of defense in a short period of time.

Now that the war is about to begin, he really has a headache.

"Report!"

"Letter from the spy, there is something strange happening in Huang Taiji!"

"The main force has gone straight to Xiping, Guangning."

Just when Mao Wenlong was sitting on the chair thinking.

A soldier outside the door suddenly burst in, holding an urgent letter in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Mao Wenlong quickly opened it and took a look, then walked to the map in two steps.

After some inspection, his brows knitted together.

Before he could issue the order, another soldier came running outside the door.

"Report!"

"A letter from General Zheng said that Japan is rapidly gathering troops and ships, with no less than 150,000 people."

"The target is unknown. Please be prepared, General Mao."

"In addition, General Zheng and General Xu have changed their defenses and stationed outside Nanjing to prevent Japanese pirates from landing in Zhejiang and Fujian."

what!

Are the Japanese pirates moving? !

Hearing the news, Mao Wenlong took several breaths.

Oh shit!

This cliff is for me!

"Damn it, at least 150,000 Japanese pirates? They're all here."

"But if Japanese pirates attack, it is impossible for Huang Taiji to attack Guangning Xiping."

"They will definitely divide their troops to attack me!"

Looking at the map carefully, Mao Wenlong squinted his eyes slightly and said to himself.

It seems that they want to take advantage of the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty to take over North Korea first.

It's really a good calculation.

"Swiss Flying Pigeon will tell His Majesty the news and request reinforcements."

"Go find General Qi again!"

"hurry up!"

After thinking for a while, Mao Wenlong gave the order.

there is always a solution to a problem.

If Huang Taiji and the Japanese pirates were to come, he could only continue.

North Korea is an important place to contain them, and there must be no mistakes!

Not long after, Qi Daguang came to the room.

After reading the letter, his expression became solemn as well.

"Tsk, they must be coming for us."

"Now that Zheng Zhilong and the others have gone to help garrison the coast of Nanjing, we can only rely on us to deal with these two families."

"What do you think, General Mao?"

Qi Daguang wiped his face and asked with a headache.

This wave of Japanese pirates is going to stud.

It's not easy to deal with so many troops.

"There is a way, I tell you to listen."

"After listening, tell me your opinion."

"Currently, the Dongjiang Army in my hands has been unable to resupply due to years of fighting. Currently, there are only 30,000 soldiers left."

"With the less than 20,000 Qi family troops in your hand, we can barely make up 50,000 people."

"It is somewhat unrealistic for these 50,000 troops to defend North Korea, which is surrounded by seas on three sides."

"So my idea is very simple, I have to put it in and fight!"

"Since we don't have enough troops, we must not give them a chance to attack separately."

"Strengthen the walls and clear the country, and gather all North Korean people near Pyongyang."

"Then unite surrounding cities to form a defensive perimeter."

"On the north side, use Anbei Mansion as the core to resist Huang Taiji who may come over."

"In the south, the main purpose is to open the capital to resist Japanese pirates."

"In the east, we will build continuous camps based on the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

"If you want to win this battle, you must rely on this terrain."

"I had some conversations with General Sun when I was in Liaodong."

"I have a certain feeling and understanding of his fortress dispatch."

"But time is urgent right now, and North Korea is short of materials and it is difficult to build enough fortresses in a short time."

"So I have a new idea."

"That is to use the mountain as a fortress and build a circular trench with the help of artillery and guns."

"Dig a circular upward position on the peaks on both sides of each barrier, place blocking wood at the foot of the mountain, and set up various traps in the middle."

"The trenches at the rear are mostly equipped with crossbowmen and artillery."

"Use the terrain to hit the low with the high!"

"Most of the Japanese pirates have light armor and if they attack from the bottom up, they will suffer heavy losses."

"As for Huang Taiji... Although the heavy armored soldiers are powerful, we can only fight them in the position. Do these heavy armored soldiers dare to charge with artillery?"

"First use the terrain to consume them, and then find the right opportunity to decide the outcome in a battle!"

Mao Wenlong quickly expressed his thoughts.

This was something he figured out recently based on the topography of North Korea.

Building a fort was time-consuming and laborious, but digging trenches was much simpler.

"sounds good."

"But if the walls are strong and the wilderness is clear..."

"I'm afraid there won't be much left of North Korea's already crotchless civilian facilities."

"How to compensate later is also a big problem."

Qi Daguang nodded after hearing this. This method is indeed good.

But the problem is that the four words "Strengthen the wall and clear the field" itself mean killing the enemy by one thousand and damaging yourself by eight hundred.

His Majesty's order is for them to ensure the development of North Korea.

As a result, there was a wave of self-destruction as soon as it came, which is somewhat difficult to explain.

"I can't control that much."

"If North Korea loses everything, nothing will happen."

“Let’s keep this place first and then talk about it.”

Mao Wenlong didn't know that his method was not good.

But there is no way, you have to make a choice.
