In fact, Liu Peng is ready to thunder and impertinent to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty when the Ming Dynasty did not respond to launch a large southern march, to achieve the Gangnam area - yes, his goal is not Xuzhou further south of Huaiyang area, nor the whole South, but the whole world's richest Gangnam.

The region.

As long as it is settled in Jiangnan, the world is at its disposal.In this case, the naval forces need to use the force to reach an unprecedented scale, the second wave of reinforcements in the past two regiments to defeat the Xuzhou rebels has no problem, but the development of the offensive to the Huaiyang region may have the problem of insufficient force, not to mention the whole of the Southern Zhili or even Jiangnan.

Regional expansion.

And there was an immediate saying of Wei Yujun: "If that is the case, then there is a force that can be used to monitor Cao Yunping!"

“Which troops?”Liu Peng immediately asked, “Is it possible to prepare to use the long wind brigade in advance?”

For the Northern Army, although the regular army reached more than 40,000 people and the irregular army also had tens of thousands of people, the front line was really too wide, and there were large soldiers in Ryukyu, North Korea, and Mongolia.

More than a year later, it is in a state of rest and rest, and the mobilization is only carried out to the second round, and the mobile forces that can be mobilized in Shandong are now extremely limited.

After all, more than 20,000 regular troops and more than 10,000 irregular troops in the Liaonan region are in a state of emergency, which is absolutely impossible to mobilize, and there are only more than 10,000 regular troops and 20,000 irregular troops in the whole of Shandong.

After the Yanzhou direction was attacked by the Xuzhou rebels, Ding Palace has been in a fairly passive situation, because the entire Yanzhou capital has only three backbone units with field capabilities, including a reliable river defense team.But as long as the North Sea Army can complete the mobilization in time, then the victory is stable, but now there are many unexpected factors in the mobilization process, and the outbreak time of the war is more than a month earlier than Liu Peng's expectations, so Liu Peng for any infantry battalion or infantry company's aircraft.

The troops are extremely hungry.

But for the Changfeng Brigade, the general reserve that has been holding its troops, Liu Peng made up his mind: "Yujun sister, the Changfeng Brigade is used to attack the troops of Yangzhou, and now it must not be used!"

Of course, a small Yangzhou city, there is no need to use the Changfeng Brigade, the first ace unit of the North Sea Army, everyone knows that Liu Peng said "Yangzhou", but in fact it is "Nanjing".Yes, although Liu Peng for this southern campaign to assume a lot of programs, but the main target of the attack is Nanjing, as long as the capture of Nanjing, the battle can be said to be a complete success, as for the south or other direction to launch an attack, that is the acquisition of Nanjing after the problem.

. .

Although the Qing army conquered Nanjing almost bloodless, Liu Peng must consider the problem of the Nanjing campaign with the worst preparations.

Although Jiajing's 個ko was simply like entering the land near Nanjing, Nanjing's operation of the river is also flowing in the situation, but these years, after all, the Ming Army near Nanjing has carried out many rectification trainings, and the combat effectiveness has been restored to a great extent.

And Nanjing can be said to be a number of famous cities in the world, whether it is the Xiang army or the Japanese army in the attack on Nanjing in the battle have paid a great price, not to mention the current technical conditions to attack Nanjing.

Although the artillery of the Navy is the strongest artillery in the entire Far East, in the face of a city like Nanjing, if the garrison is strong, the Navy will pay a lot of casualties.

And the more important problem is that the longer the Nanjing attack is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be for the naval and northern armies, so Liu Peng feels that it is not a last resort and absolutely cannot use the Changfeng Brigade in advance to develop the victorious force.

Wei Yujun said with a smile: "Surely do not need to use the long wind brigade in advance, you forgot the last time the dust set up a super-large guard public, now they have hundreds of soldiers at any time!" 」

Liu Peng is of course impressed, who called Liu Yirong is for this request and finally admit his true identity, he immediately asked: "Cao Yunping into the southern part of Dongchang Province, with Xu Zhai this public protection and a few police squadrons can withstand the pressure?"

Wei Yujun is a reminder to Liu Peng: "Don't forget that the son dust hand has a whole series of tunnel guns, you have not heard this time the front-line troops of Yanzhou Province say that a company's flange gun is even more powerful than a battalion of fire rope guns!"

Yanzhou capital's front-line troops do indeed have such a saying, although they are intended to fight for their own more flints, but Liu Peng is wrong: "It is such a thing, it seems that Xu Zi dust and easy this time is standing on the tuyere!"Speaking of this, Liu Peng couldn't help but sigh and said: "Since this is the case, add a pair of chopping guns to the dust plus two hundred trained recruits, I will let Yi Yong explain a few more words with him, although he has always done things, but this time is different from the past, he absolutely can not do a smash."

It's!"

Yes, this time there is absolutely no bad pool!

For Xu Ziqiu, although this is expected, but he really did not expect the surprise to come so quickly: "a company of a gun, plus two hundred recruits?"It was my brother-in-law’s personal account!”

Liu Yi said solemnly: "Yes, the supervision of the adults personally confessed, uncle other things can be smashed, but my father confessed that this matter can not be smashed, you have to count in your heart!" 」

Liu Yirong said solemnly, Xu Ziqiu certainly can not be taken lightly, he even nodded: "Easy, you rest assured, I can take other things lightly, can be capricious, this matter since it is to supervise the brother-in-law personally confessed, I will absolutely fight!" 」

Speaking of this, Xu Ziqiang couldn't help but laugh: "Easy, you can rest assured that your uncle also started in the countryside, when in the Ryukyu country is more with the island warrior real sword a real gun to kill a few times, know the matter is heavy!" 」

Liu Yirong immediately explained: "uncle you know this, after you go to Hexi, no matter how much you think of yourself as my uncle, you should respect Yao Xiaofang's branch."

Although Xu Ziqiu has always been reliable, know what to take and should not take, but the problem is that since he has such a sister Xu Qiaoxing, these years will inevitably be covered with some small problems, no matter how low-key and low-key can not be low-key.

So Xu Ziqi immediately understood: "I know, Yao Xiaofang's position is similar to mine, this time he is responsible for the command, I will immediately take people to Hexi."

For Yao Xiaofang, Xu Ziqiang's reinforcement came too timely, and he personally brought people out to meet Xu Ziqiu: "Since your detachment is coming, we can rest easy in the west!"“Oh my God, how many people have you brought here?”

Xu Ziqi immediately said: "I came in a hurry, only took the detachment headquarters and a part of the light personnel rushed in, a total of 280 people, the follow-up force is still in the process of moving forward, but only give me five days, the detachment will be able to all into the battle!"Xu Ziqiu came really fast, Yao Xiaofang originally thought that Xu Ziqiu's forward would have to reach Hexi for at least three or five days, as for the whole detachment to participate in the war may take ten days and a half days or even longer, did not expect Xu Ziqiu had a wheeled cart on his hand, and the motoring speed far exceeded Yao Xiaofang's imagination.

Outside.

Just to say the number of 280 people, Xu Ziqiu is a little less confident.

Although he came quickly, but the hand of the rubber wheel car can not complete the entire detachment of transport tasks, especially the team there are 200 recruits, so his motorization task is more difficult, so the successor can not catch up in time, Xu Ziqiu himself is completely bottomless.But Yao Xiaofang did not notice this fear of Xu Ziqiu, he immediately told Xu Ziqiang: "You have come too well, the direction of the Dongchang Province in the north will be handed over to you, I am now most worried that Sun Yuanhua's troops have been killed from the north, Cao Yunping's combat effectiveness should not be bad!"You

Come on, I'm relieved!"

Xu Ziqi immediately agreed: "No problem, the north side to us, please Yao commander rest assured."

Hearing that Xu Ziqiu took the initiative to take the defense in the direction of Dongchang Province, Yao Xiaofang could be said to be relieved.

He has received information that Cao Yunping's troops have carried out a round of emergency expansion, and Sun Yuanhua has handed over the troops who can fight Cao Yunping, and now Cao Yunping has at least 5,000 people and may even have as many as 6,000.If it is usual, Yao Xiaofang does not put Cao Yunping's five or six thousand people in the eye, but now it is a hundred thousand rush, his Yanxi detachment is fighting with the Xuzhou rebels, and because of the impact of the battle of Xiadian Town, now the riots and civil unrest in Hexi have not stopped.

Protect the canal and the lines of communication.Now Ding Palace according to the canal to adjust the formation of the troops, the Hedong forces into the Hedong brigade, and Yao Xiaofang command of the Hexi forces into the Hexi brigade, although this is only a temporary brigade, but Yao Xiaofang is very clear that he can fight this battle as beautiful as possible, then this infantry infantry.

The brigade is not a "temporary", which is also a leap in Yao Xiaofang's life.

And if you miss this opportunity, it is Yao Xiaofang only to see most of the regimental units of the Navy expanded into infantry brigades, and he himself can only stay in place!

Although Liu Peng did not say clearly, but Yao Xiaofang also knows that now is a once-in-a-lifetime God-given opportunity, most of the old regimental units of the Navy will take advantage of this opportunity to expand into brigade-level units, so he must not miss this opportunity, otherwise he will live up to Yao Yulan's expectations of him.

But the problem is that Yao Xiaofang is now facing a serious shortage of troops, although the Hexi unit is nominally a temporary brigade, but his Yanxi detachment actually has only two infantry battalions.The Ding Palace nominally handed him an infantry regiment, but the same only two infantry battalions of the establishment, now Yao Xiaofang is using these four infantry battalions to confront tens of thousands of Xuzhou rebels, and in order to Cao Yunping from his own back to kill, he even had to deduct half of the battalion as a reserve.
