For the big people from Nanjing City, as long as the court can regain control of Yanzhou and the entire canal, then they can temporarily endure the temporary pain of transportation, and at the thought of this, the general soldiers said: "We are already strongly supporting you, but you are too sudden this time.

However, I have now brought home to the family!Only Yao Zheng has his own ideas: "If it is not suddenly launched, how can there be such brilliant results, how can I let the northern thieves of Haibei return to the defeat of the war!But the next court can not take back Yanzhou, look at Nanjing and Huaiyang this side of the support, relying on our Xuzhou strength alone, relying on our Xuzhou strength alone.

At best, hitting Jining is the limit!”

But for Nanjing's Xiao eunuch Kong is not more, as long as the hit to Jiningzhou is the perfect end of the limit, he immediately asked: "can really hit Jiningzhou?"If you can really hit Jiningzhou, such an Eastern Lusun governor's words will inevitably come out of the army from the north!"

But the horse's general soldiers there, but they disagreed with Kong's opinion, he said: "Although it is good to fight Jiningzhou, but not all the work, the canal is still in the hands of Haibei Town!In that case, we will die!"This time the naval and Xuzhou army not only completely interrupted the transportation, and Xuzhou Yijun in this case can not make up for the loss of hundreds of ships, even these hundreds of ships are almost useless, even these hundreds of ships are almost useless, even these hundreds of ships are almost the loss of the ship.

The only way for these nobles in Nanjing to get rid of their responsibilities is to recuperate the entire Yanzhou.

The capture of Jiningzhou seems to be a brilliant record, which is equivalent to the recovery of a small half of Yanzhou from the hands of the Northern Navy, but most of Yanzhou is still under the control of the Navy, and the entire canal is still in the point of total interruption because of the war between Haibei Town and Xuzhou.

And Caoyun has always been the lifeblood of the court, if you can not restore the luck in the shortest time, Nanjing these nobles and big people can escape to death, but their official hats are probably not preserved.

Listening to the general of the horse carefully explain the loss of interest and profit, Kong did not understand the meaning of Yao Zheng, he immediately asked: "We want to provide in Nanjing how much food materials to recover the whole Yanzhou!"

And there Liu Xingyi said very excitedly: "As long as Nanjing and the court fully support us, then we can hit Jiningzhou in ten days, and we can hit Longkou in a month, and if we can do it, it depends on the strength of the court and you!"

Kong was not immediately very excited and said, "As long as you can play Jiningzhou in ten days, what kind of support you want is not a problem."

Only Liu Xingyi this month "ten days to Jiningzhou, a month to hit the Longkou" soon became a big joke, but for Ding Palace, he "ten days to Yunlongjiang, a month to Yangzhou" rhetoric has also become a dream bubble.Now the sound of guns is earth-shattering, everywhere is the smell of smoke, there are killing everywhere, the North Sea Army and Xuzhou Army are carrying out fierce and incomparable fighting on the battlefield in Yanzhou, everywhere you can see the Xuzhou army and their flags, as if Xuzhou has an endless number of soldiers.

Force.Compared with the elite naval and northern army, this Xuzhou army has a unified flag and military uniform, as well as a considerable number of Western-style guns and thousands of horse teams, but also has the unique insidious and cunning of Jianghuai thieves, which is definitely an intractable opponent, but the most headache for Ding Gong is that they are the most difficult to deal with.

Infinite number of advantages.

Therefore, he said to Yao Xiaofang: "If we encounter setbacks in the direction of Yanzhou this time, I will definitely tear down the building of the detective department, say that the enemy of Xuzhou is only more than ten thousand, and there are more than 10,000 people in the eastern side of the river alone!"

This is certainly just an upbeat word, Dante Palace is not shirking responsibility, this time the situation of the war in Yanzhou is much more complicated than he thought, the biggest problem is that the strength of the Xuzhou rebels is much higher than he and Yanzhou estimates.In the original expectation of Ding Palace, Xuzhou rebels are mainly Liu Xingyi Department and Yao Zheng Department, Liu Xingyi Department of about 10,000 troops, and Yao Zheng's department is separated by the river defense team, better combat effectiveness, better equipment, but originally just a Xuzhou guard headquarters system, placed in the northern army in the sea and north.

The department is just a regimental structure.

But now Ding Palace is a belly of fire trying to vent out, he told Yao Xiaofang: "Say is a guard team, now I have four brigades on the front of what's going on, the whole four brigades!"

But Yao Xiaofang laughed at this time: "If Yao Zhengzhen has four infantry brigades, I am determined to retreat to Hedong to concentrate on supporting you, regardless of the Hexi military affairs!No matter what flower shelves Yao Zheng and Liu Xingyi have, there is nothing to worry about, victory is in our hands!"

Ding Gong knows what Yao Xiaofang means, no matter how far the strength of Xuzhou Army exceeds expectations, the Navy is not vegetarian.

And Liu Peng gave him 1,400 rifles, thirty guns, a thousand recruits and two infantry regiments of support, and he used these units to form two brigades in Hedong and Hexi, which were originally divided into Xuzhou with the strength of these two brigades, but also all the way to Yangzhou.

However, the Navy has begun to counter-offensive for a full ten days, not only did not hit Yunlong Lake, or even Xiadian Town did not take down, as for the reason is naturally Yao Zheng and Liu Xingchen to mobilize the force scale far beyond Liu Peng and Yao Xiaofang's imagination.More than the Lord said Yao Zheng's department, the original is the Xuzhou garrison headquarters of the establishment, the highest strength is only 1,600, last year the Navy decided to rest and recuperate is Xuzhou garrison in the old and weak of the disabled cut more than 400 people, the existing force is only 1200 people only 1200 people.

. .

However, in this counter-offensive battle, Yao Zhengjun across the street was full of the establishment of four infantry brigades, and most of them used the standard weapons of the Navy and even the Navy's orders.Of course, as Yao Xiaofang said, Yao Zheng's four infantry brigades are just flower shelves, said that it is an infantry brigade, the actual strength is not even a small regiment, adding up to more than 3,000 people, but these more than 3,000 people are the core combat force of Xuzhou Army, which has created great trouble for Ding Palace.

As for why Yao Zheng was able to expand the four infantry brigades, the biggest reason is naturally the more than 700 rifles and more than ten guns lost by Ding Palace in Xiadian Town, plus he not only retained more than 400 people who were scheduled to be abolished, but also formed the establishment of several police squadrons in accordance with the methods of the Navy.

This time, the forces outside the system suddenly expanded the formation of the four infantry brigades, but Ding Palace suffered a suffocation.And Liu Xingyi's Xuhuai town situation is also the same, before the war information said is "more than ten thousand people", Ding Palace also thought that 10,000 hanging, but did not expect before the war there were fifteen thousand five thousand people, after the war Liu Xingyi is to use all means to force the mobilization, the result is to mobilize more than 20,000 people, plus Yao Yao.

The total strength of the department has exceeded 25,000, and even close to 30,000 people, and the Ding Palace has only two temporary infantry brigades.

Although it is said that "the soldiers are not many but in the essence", but sometimes the quantitative advantage can overwolve the quality advantage, although Ding Palace feels that he did not make any mistakes, and Yanzhou officers and soldiers are very good performance, the counter-offensive has not only made little progress since the ten days, but also casualties of nearly 500 people.

Although Xuzhou's losses were at least twice or even three or four times that number, the result was that they suddenly became arrogant, and Ding Palace felt that he was about to faceless.He boasted of ten days to Yunlong Lake, a month to Yangzhou, but from Yao Zheng raided Xiadian Town began to calculate has been half a month, not to mention Yangzhou, that is, the shadow of Yunlong Lake has not been seen, even the shadow of Xiadian Town has not been seen, the thought of this Ding Palace can not help but think of this Ding Palace.

Hurry up: “

But Yao Xiaofang shook his head: "Commissioner Ding, you don't have to worry about this matter, although you have lost some villages and towns, but Yanzhou and the entire canal are still in our hands, Xuzhou these rebels can fold what tricks, you don't forget, we are Haibei Town!" 」

Commissioner Ding then pondered the taste: "Captain Yao branch, you mean?"

Yao Xiaofang said with a smile: "Moreover, this time our opponent is not just a Liu Xingyi and Yao Zheng, what cats and dogs have come out of the war, have you not seen this?"Although the naval and northern army did not publicize, but Ding Gong also knew that Nanjing and Huaiyang in this matter were strong, Yanzhou officers and soldiers more than once killed and wounded or even captured the real facts of the Ming officers and soldiers, once even captured a Ming army general, which can only show that the army can only show that the army.

The matter of the rebellion in Xuzhou was deeply involved, and it was no longer just the level of providing money and food supplies.Liu Xingyi and Yao are able to mobilize at least tens of thousands of soldiers between hasty, of which Nanjing and Huaiyang blood transfusion credit, it is said that Huaiyang's arsenal has been vacated half, in addition to the essential combat supplies, almost all sent to Xuzhou, but Huaiyang Nanjing those big people

It is no longer satisfied with the only supply of weapons, ammunition and money and food support, but sent troops to the war.

Now in Xuzhou and Yanzhou front line of the Ming army not two thousand people, there are 1500 people, many Ming army officers have taken the family and the barracks to personally participate in the war, so Yao Xiaofang so a reminder Ding Palace came back: "Yao branch leader means that we have great service to the country!"

Yao Xiaofang said some of the meaning: "After all, the supervision of the adult is in the name of the right and decent!"Ding Palace is to understand the meaning of Yao Xiaofang, Liu Peng and Haibei Town, although advocating the cause, but has always been to use the court to hang people's crime, not to be a nameless division, and this time Xuzhou rebellion and Nanjing Huaiyang intervention is the best excuse for the Haibei army.
