Chapter 206: Linkage Scheme

According to this strategy, the Supreme Command began to formulate specific military force mobilization plans. ~ small,...o&1t;/p>

At this moment, rumors spread everywhere in the capital, saying that Sun Chengzong was likely to rebel in Liaodong. Such rumors seemed to have appeared in the capital overnight, and also caused some officials to stir up trouble.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao quickly summoned Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng to discuss the matter.&1t;/p>

"It can be confirmed that this is Jiannu's plan to dissuade him. The Jinyiwei has arrested more than a dozen spies sent by Jiannu." Tian Ergeng reported.&1t;/p>

"Your Majesty, this Jiannu thief is undesirable. Our Dongchang also captured eight Jiannu spies. They were all black households who had just been sent to the capital." Wei Zhongxian also said.&1t;/p>

Jiannu's rumor-spreading operation was obviously relatively failed. Because Jiannu's intelligence network had been hit before, and this time Jiannu sent spies to spread rumors. Because of the lack of cooperation from smuggling merchants and the lack of innovation in methods, he was easily caught by Dongchang and Jinyiwei.&1t;/p>

"It seems that Jiannu is really uncomfortable now. He can't get any advantage on the front battlefield, so he can only expect us to make mistakes." Zhu Youxiao sighed. This situation naturally made him very happy. Jiannu really couldn't grab things from the front, so he could only rely on the trick of divisiveness.&1t;/p>

Unfortunately, what Jiannu didn't know was that Zhu Youxiao was a time traveler and knew that Sun Chengzong could not rebel. Naturally, he would not destroy the Great Wall by himself at this time.&1t;/p>

Similarly, Zhu Youxiao was not actually not prepared for Sun Chengzong. Even if Sun Chengzong died heroically in the fight against Jiannu in his original history, Zhu Youxiao had to beware of being "cleaned the monarch". Therefore, although it was necessary to use Sun Chengzong, he did not bet on Sun Chengzong. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao established the Central Army. After the scale of the Liaodong border army was expanded to 120,000, it would no longer be expanded.&1t;/p>

This is a kind of mutually restrictive balance. Under the power of balance, Zhu Youxiao can be both a referee and play football, and can ensure the supreme imperial status like "God".&1t;/p>

Under such checks and balances, Zhu Youxiao was not afraid of Sun Chengzong's rebellion, because it was impossible to succeed.&1t;/p>

As a civil servant who passed the character, his ancestor Sun Chengzong had a 99% chance of rebelling. In addition, the power of the Central Army had already surpassed the Liaodong border army at this time, which made the rebellion not have any possibility of success. In addition, Zhu Youxiao had a high prestige in the army at this time, so he completely killed the last 1% possibility.&1t;/p>

Therefore, the disagreement strategy that Jiannu used at this time was completely useless. Zhu Youxiao did not take this trick at all. Instead, Jiannu lost the spy he had just sent back.&1t;/p>

"The Jinyiwei and the East Factory will continue to strengthen the anti-espionage efforts. In this month's evaluation, the Jinyiwei still has a little advantage!" Zhu Youxiao explained, while taking the evaluation out and talking about it.&1t;/p>

"Don't worry, my servants will definitely strive for the evaluation of the Jinyiwei next month." Wei Zhongxian said on the spot, and Tian Ergeng smiled and did not speak. As a combination of the 'Royal Police' and 'State Special', it is not possible to improve the performance by just talking.&1t;/p>

As an internal minister, Tian Ergeng naturally would not fight with Wei Zhongxian directly. Anyway, the emperor only looked at whether the things were done beautifully, so Tian Ergeng really put his heart into the management of the Jinyiwei. Of course, Wei Zhongxian also put his heart into managing the East Factory. He only had Wei Zhongxian a little self-aware. In addition to grasping the main direction, he left all other things to Wang Sijin.&1t;/p>

Wang Sijin's ability made Tian Ergeng look at him with admiration. Because of his outstanding ability, Wang Sijin had become the second-in-command of the East Factory. It was just because of institutional reasons that he had not yet become the real top leader, but he was better than the top leader.&1t;/p>

Obviously, Jiannu's plan of disagreement did not hinder the military plan formulated by Zhu Youxiao. The Supreme Command quickly formulated a new military deployment plan and linkage plan.&1t;/p>

First, we strengthen the Central Army's forces in the direction of Jinzhou and build Jinzhou into a core point for the Central Army to enter the Liaodong battlefield.&1t;/p>

Currently, Zhu Youxiao has fourteen infantry divisions, and one infantry division has been put into Jinzhou. He plans to invest another nine infantry divisions in Jinzhou Town before the spring of the third year of the Tianqi period, so that Jinzhou has ten infantry divisions, and then transfer one cavalry division, with a force of nearly 120,000.&1t;/p>

The Guangning defense line has 120,000 troops from the border troops in Liaodong Town, plus 30,000 troops from Dongjiang Town.&1t;/p>

On the battlefield in Liaodong, the Ming army will form three arrows that can attack Jiannu at any time, with a total force of 270,000.&1t;/p>

However, due to the limitations of communication in this era, it is easy for the Ming army in three directions to cooperate and link with each other. For this problem, the principle of linkage is that the main force of Jiannu attacks one of the directions, and the other two directions immediately launch a certain scale of counterattack.&1t;/p>

But there are also some considerations about how to counterattack, which leads to the current configuration of troops.&1t;/p>

The task of attracting the main force of Jiannu was assigned to the Central Army in the Jinzhou area. First, the Central Army had enough troops and excellent equipment, and the training would continue to keep up. Moreover, the Central Army was equipped with a large number of firearms, and it was easy to form a formation in the plains in the direction of Jinzhou, and Jiannu could not suddenly attack. Therefore, the Central Army was able to fully control the Jiannu's attack on the front battlefield and could defeat Jiannu.&1t;/p>

The worst result is that the Central Army suffered heavy losses, but even if the Central Army suffered heavy losses, it could return to Jinzhou Pass to defend. Even if Jiannu won the Jinzhou direction, he could not rob much, because there was no population or production in the area north of Jinzhou Pass.&1t;/p>

Even if Jiannu broke the Central Army in this direction, he would have to break his teeth. The Central Army could also continuously train a large number of grassroots officers through the Royal Military Academy and recruit a large number of soldiers to replenish their strength, which could withstand consumption.&1t;/p>

In contrast, the Ming army on Guangning’s defense line could not withstand consumption. Once the main force of the Ming army on Guangning’s defense line was annihilated by Jiannu, Jiannu would likely go straight in and attack the western Liaoning area, thereby capturing a large amount of materials and population. This is what Jiannu needs most.&1t;/p>

Therefore, the 120,000 Ming troops on the Guangning defense line could not take the initiative when the main force of Jiannu confronted him, and could only strictly guard against him.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the Supreme Command set a rule for the Ming army of Guangning, that is, when the main force of Jiannu was involved in the Jinzhou army and the Dongjiang army, even if they took the initiative, the troops they dispatched could not exceed 50,000. It is necessary to ensure that the Guangning defense line has a minimum of 70,000 troops to defend, so as not to give Jiannu any chance to rob.&1t;/p>

In other words, the Central Army is the only one who allows to take the initiative to go out to field battles, thereby attracting Jiannu's main force. Liaodong Town and Dongjiang Town must ensure that the attack is launched without the main force of Jiannu.&1t;/p>

The Ming army in Dongjiang Town led by Mao Wenlong must be abide by it in principle, and its autonomy is higher than that in Liaodong Town. How many troops are deployed is the final say of Mao Wenlong.&1t;/p>

The Dongjiang Army is also a new army, and the number of people is only 30,000, which is easy to add. The Dongjiang Army led by Mao Wenlong is mainly responsible for mountain combat and will raid Jiannu's nest if necessary. (To be continued...)&1t;/p>
