Chapter 1034: The Western Front(1/2)

Yang Zhen also knew about the establishment of the fifth battalion on the left, right, front and back.

However, if there is no regimental camp, even if there is a battalion under the camp, such a battalion cannot have more than three sentries.

From this point of view, Yuan Jin still obeyed Yang Zhen's order.

However, this is just Yuan Jin's rhetoric. As for the actual situation, it is hard to say.

However, Yang Zhen didn't want to go into detail.

As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the water is clear, there will be no disciples.

It is understandable that everyone has selfish motives. As long as it is not too excessive, Yang Zhen would rather turn a blind eye.

"Then how many ships do you have under your command at Jinhai West Road?"

Yang Zhen asked Yuan Jin about his military background without warning, and then asked about his warship family background.

If he tells it all in front of so many people, there will be no secrets left on Jinhai West Road and Dengzhou City Defense.

But can he not say it?

Facing Yang Zhen's sharp gaze, Yuan Jin couldn't figure out what Yang Zhen was planning to do for a while, so he didn't dare to risk concealing it.

And within this moment, he couldn't make up any other explanation.

"Do you mean all ships, or ships capable of fighting?"

"Let's talk about everything first."

"Well, of all the ships, no matter how big or small, there are currently 321 of them available."

"What about those who can fight?"

"About half of them can go to sea to fight."

"Um."

After hearing Yuan Jin's answer, Yang Zhen just hummed without any expression.

When Yuan Jin saw this situation, he thought about it and quickly added:

"However, there are not many big ships under Beizhi's command. Only 40% of the ships are more than 200 materials, and less than 20% are more than 400 materials. Counting the previous allocations from the governor, including the original ships of Beizhi, the ships with 400 materials are

One and a half percent."

"How many gun ships are there with cannons?"

"This is because the governor has repeatedly pointed out that there are many firearms in the humble fleet, but the ship-borne artillery is mostly small cannons such as Folang machines and tiger crouching cannons. There are also some sky cannons allocated by the governor, but there are no Hongyi heavy artillery.

How many doors.”

"Um."

After Yang Zhen asked these questions, he was silent again, and Yuan Jin seemed to have realized at this time that Yang Zhen just wanted to know the true strength and where he might use it.

Similarly, if Yang Zhen wants to use him, he will probably give him some benefits, and this time may be an opportunity to order something.

"Captain——"

"Do you still have men, horses and ships on Juehua Island?"

Yuan Jin was about to cry out about poverty, but he bumped into Yang Zhen who asked him another question.

"This, I report back to the Commander-in-Chief, on Juehua Island there are currently only some old soldiers and the survivors of fallen soldiers who are unwilling to move with them.

"First of all, Supervisor Hong petitioned the imperial court to set up a deputy commander-in-chief on Juehua Island. Their food and salary posts were constantly increasing, and Juehua Island was a small place with few camps, which caused many inconveniences.

"Secondly, Bei Zhi has been traveling around the sea in recent years. Especially since last year, the governor asked Bei Zhi to settle in Dengzhou. On Juehua Island, Bei Zhi has no place now."

This is true, and Yang Zhen also understands it from other aspects.

After Yang Zhen's rise in Jinhai Town, the significance of Juehua Island has actually ceased for Yang Zhen.

Juehua Island is not large enough and has many mountains and rocks, so it is not suitable for recruiting people to colonize it. There are mainly several grain towns that can store and transfer grain to the cities in western Liaoning.

Moreover, without Yuan Jin's naval camp, they could only transport food on the offshore near Juehua Island with only the small and medium-sized ships originally allocated to the Governor's Mansion.

"Well, in that case, let's forget it. Let's give Juehua Island to Governor Hong and the others. If we give it all to them, Governor Hong's heart will be at peace!

"As for you, as of now, the Jinhai West Road Naval Battalion will be upgraded to the Jinhai West Road Naval Regiment Battalion. The regular soldiers of the five Jinhai West Road Battalions will be fully staffed with 1,500 men in each battalion's five sentries and fifteen teams."

"I humbly obey my orders and thank you, Governor!"

"In addition, I will give you ten more Hongyi heavy cannons, pick up the 400-material ship in good condition, and focus on equipping ten heavy cannon ships."

"Okay, okay, okay, I humbly obey your orders, I humbly thank you, Commander!"

When Yuan Jin heard that something good was going on, he immediately stood up and bowed to the ground in front of Yang Zhen.

"Don't be too busy thanking me. What I just said is that you go back to Zhang Degui and Yang Shen will implement it as soon as possible. I will give you a month to organize the regiment, camp, and gunboats in place. Before the end of March, I want your subordinates to

All available warships must be assembled at Changxing Island!"

"Gather at Changxing Island?"

"That's right. If we are going to attack Lianyun Island and the mouth of Liaohe River, shouldn't we first go to Changxing Island to assemble?"

Under the blank gazes of Yuan Jin and the other general soldiers, Yang Zhen gave an answer that surprised many people.

"Isn't the Governor planning to attack Jiulian City?"

"Haha, when I go to attack Jiulian City, you can't go north in Liaodong Bay and attack Lianyun Island and the mouth of Liaohe River along the coast?"

"I understand, I understand. The Governor is just trying to spread suspicion, bluffing, claiming to the east to attack the west, no, claiming to the west to attack the east!"

"It's not wrong for you to think so. But it's not entirely a bluff. The ideas that General Lu and General Zu had just now also have merit. Duan saw how the Qing captives responded."

Yang Zhen led the Eastern Expedition Army northward to attack Jiulian City. Of course, it was impossible for other people to stand aside and watch.

The entire east and west coast of the Liaodong Peninsula is like a game of chess. Only when the east and west are linked can there be more opportunities.

Moreover, it is said that Yang Zhen's journey is real, and that of Liaodong Bay is virtual, but virtual reality can be transformed.

"If there is an opportunity, you can make the lie come true and take advantage of it. You can go by sea and have no worries. Then you can look for opportunities along the coast to attack Xiongyue City and Gaizhou City. If the time is right, go ashore and attack Haizhou City.

What’s wrong with the state city?”

"I understand the humble position!"

"Just understand! Mr. Xu!"

"The humble position is here!"

"The Jinhai Middle Road Naval Battalion will also gather at Changxing Island before the end of March and obey the command of General Yuan of the Jinhai West Road."

"I understand the humble position!"

"Except for the naval battalion, each of your other battalions in the middle route will select 3,000 elite troops, including the Wutun Battalion, which will be led by you personally. Together with General Yuan, you will follow the ship to look for opportunities to fight, from Gaizhou Bay to the mouth of the Liaohe River.

The momentum for a war is building."

"I humbly obey my orders!"

"General Lu!"

"The humble duty is here."

"As soon as Commander-in-Chief Yuan arrives at Hu Changhai, the naval camp on Jinhai North Road, on Changxing Island, he will be under command."

"I humbly obey my orders!"

"At that time, you will command the other battalions on the North Road and go north to test the attack. You can try attacking Xu Guanbao first. In short, there must be some big movement and a posture of heading north to attack."

The idea that Lu Pinqi put forward before cannot be said to be wrong. After all, going all the way north and taking every castle by force, I really don't know how long or how long the battle will last.

"If Xiongyue City clears out the rebels and goes south, you can first set up defenses at Fudu River for a confrontation. If Dorgon continues to increase his troops and go south, you can retreat to Yongning Fort, then lure the enemy deep and find a way to set up an ambush. How to do it is up to you to decide on the fly.

.But we must keep open contact with General Yuan, General Xu, and Queen Anqing of Xiuyan City."

"I understand the humble position."

"Lao Yuan, General Xu, and General Lu, together in the battle, you are the main force on our western front in Jinhai Town in this battle. In the overall situation of this battle to regain Liaoshen, you are the western front among our eastern fronts.

It is the Small Western Front, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in western Liaoning are the Great Western Front."

Yang Zhen quickly laid out the offensive strategy for the western front of the Liaodong Peninsula, and also clarified the strategic position of the troops led by them in the entire war.

"But everyone, please don't underestimate yourselves. Once the commander-in-chief leads his army to achieve great victories in Jiulian City, Kuandian Five Forts, and Phoenix City behind the Qing Dynasty, you will actually have the best chance to enter Liaoyang City first. I am here

I make a promise to all of you. If any of you leads the army into Liaoyang City first, I, the Governor, will definitely invite him to be granted the title of World Lord!"

"ah?"

"this--"

"call--"



As soon as Yang Zhen said his last words, the expressions of all the general soldiers present changed.

Some were shocked, some were full of surprise, some were doubtful, and some had their hearts beating faster and took deep breaths quickly.

In the Ming Dynasty, the knights awarded to military generals almost always started from count.
