Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei Chapter 749

"The Eighth Battalion of the Beijing Army and the Ten Guards of the Forbidden Army have set off for six days. According to yesterday's military report, they have already arrived at Changhe Mansion. It is estimated that they will arrive in Yinchuan in about twenty days."

"The four guards in the west of the river and the two guards in the east of the river have arrived at Fengxiang mansion. It is estimated that they will arrive in Hami within six days."

"Mighty two guards on the left and right are on standby in Dongsheng, two guards on the left and right from Zhenliao in Liao Province, and two guards on the left and right in Shenyang have assembled and are on standby..."

"Shanxi, Henan, and Beizhi have enlisted civilian husbands according to the scheduled plan. Up to now, more than 56,800 civilian husbands have been recruited, and more than 50,000 pack horses, mules, and donkeys have been selected. It is expected that before the end of the month, the number will reach ten. Tens of thousands of people and 70,000 livestock are enough to initially provide logistical support for a large army to conquer."

In Yinchuan government office, the map of the sand table was placed, and all the military staff officers stood on one side, the emperor sat on the side, and a military staff officer stood in front of the sand table, explaining the preparations for the current war.

The Son of Heaven also kept silent, listening silently, and at the same time sketched this time's war in his mind.

Since it was decided to conquest by the royal driver, it is naturally impossible to make a small fuss.

Since ancient times, the frontiers have stretched across the northern border and spread for thousands of miles.

However, when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong and powerful, when they conquered the grasslands in the north, most of them sent out several armies to conquer the grasslands.

Naturally, the same is true for Daheng's battle.

According to the general staff's drafting and the combat plan commanded by the emperor, the Northern Expedition will also be divided into four armies.

All the way is in the northwest direction. Dingguo Gong leads the Northwest Frontier Army, leads the Heshuote Troop, and marches to the northwest Tibet. All the way, the division goes out from Liao Province and enters the grassland to attack from the flank. Coming out from the mouth of Xifeng, it echoes with the partial division of Liao Province and hits the grassland together.

The last route is naturally the main force of the Chinese army under the command of the Son of Heaven. It comes out of the Hetao and is the commander in the middle. It can enter the northwest and gallop on the grassland. According to the plan, it is also to go to the grassland first. With support and assistance, a decisive battle with the main force of Mongolia, and then into the northwest, the first battle was successful.

Such a strategy cannot be called bold, nor can it be said that it is not wanton.

In fact, after the emperor ordered the general staff to formulate a strategic plan, the plan presented by the general staff was completely opposite to this plan.

If this plan is a seemingly reckless advance and wanton rampage, then the initial plan is to fight steadily and follow the same pace.

According to the initial idea of the general staff, although it is roughly the same as it, the specific strategic rhythm is the strategy of grassland first and northwest.

That is to say, the northwest frontier army was only for deterrence, let the Heshuo special troops play the front field, deter and contain Zhungeer in the northwest, the emperor commanded the three armies, entered the grassland, after destroying Mongolia, then entered the northwest, flanked back and forth, and won the first battle.

This plan seems to have been approved by the emperor, but with the news of the grassland situation, this plan has also been completely changed.

Since the Hongmen Banquet that shook the world that Lin Dan Khan arranged ended, the entire grassland seemed to be in an unprecedented turmoil.

Lin Danhan's Mongolia, in the past, no matter what, would always be the nominal unification of the south and north.

And after this Hongmen Banquet, there is no doubt that the unified Mongolia has completely disintegrated.

The loose alliance system of the tribes can become one, relying on the involvement of interests, and this Hongmen Banquet, the butcher knife raised by Lin Danhan and the naked eating statue obviously completely shattered this cohesive interest.

After that Hongmen Banquet, before Daheng even had time to intervene, dozens of tribes, large and small, in Monan and Mobei broke with Lin Danhan brazenly. Well, the results achieved in just a few months are much more than Daheng's penetration of the grassland over the past many years.

Under the threat of life and death, a considerable number of grassland tribes have no choice but to prostrate themselves under Daheng. Even if they submit in this way, a considerable number of them have different ideas.

But for Daheng, and for the Son of Heaven, he never thought that these Mongolian tribes could be loyal for a long time, and a temporary submission would be enough.

Especially now, the war is about to start, even more so.

If the situation in the grassland is normal, it will be of great benefit to Daheng. The emperor will not decide to send troops. .

But after the Hongmen Banquet, the great changes in the prairie brought about not only the disintegration of Mongolia. This disintegration, for Lin Dan Khan's Mongolia, was, in a certain way, a reform by force, to shed the chaff and remove the ills. Stay pure Mongolia.

In the past, Mongolia, which was vast, intriguing, and infighting, fell apart, and what remained was the existence dominated by Lin Danhan's will.

In addition, after the Hongmen Banquet, the three Zhungeer ministries formed an alliance with Lin Danhan's line of fire, which brought about the existence of a terrorist alliance across Monan, Mobei, and Moxi.

If Daheng does not intervene, and maintains the momentum of fanning the wind and igniting the fire in the past, it will be a trouble for the bandits. Tibet, its scourge, is enough to make Daheng Northern Border never have peace!

Daheng had to fight this battle!

Daheng's many preparations in the past, in this great change, most of them have to be changed accordingly.

From the northwest, to Hetao, and then to Jizhen, Liao Province, several armies came out together.

This northwest spread all the way to Liao Province, covering the entire northern border of Daheng.

The Beijing Army, the Forbidden Army, the Northwest Frontier Army, the Jizhen Frontier Army, the Liao Province Frontier Army, and the Hetao Frontier Army, amounted to nearly 500,000 troops.

It is estimated that 200,000 peasants and 100,000 mules and horses will be conquered.

Such a scale is completely enough to be called a million-strong army,

And this is just the basic condition of war.

War is about national power.

This national strength, UU reading www.uukanshu.com the most important among them, is logistics.

Food, grass and military equipment should be the top priority.

There are 500,000 troops, plus more than 200,000 civilian husbands, and nearly 200,000 mules and horses.

People eat horse chews, when any number is multiplied by millions, and it is still a daily number of millions, one can imagine how terrifying the number is.

It is only the initial preparation stage, which is the deployment of more than a million stones of grain and grass. If the follow-up war continues, it will be at least the mobilization of millions of stones of grain and grass.

And this is just food and grass, ordnance, salaries, and even post-war rewards and pensions. In addition, Daheng has always cherished the power of the people, and has always been cautious about recruiting civilian husbands. It is the recruitment of civilian husbands and the need to allocate a considerable amount of money and food subsidies...

Everything is an astronomical consumption.

The army is easy to move, but money and food are... difficult.
