Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 445: Ambitious and Greedy for Heaven's Merits

 Faced with the confidence of the generals, each of whom was louder than the last, Feng Ziying was not angry but happy.

This expedition was carried out with an aura of confidence. It was originally a surprise attack, and they were all border troops who were accustomed to fighting. Going south to the south of the Yangtze River, if they were caught off guard, if they couldn't defeat them in one fell swoop, then they would really

It's a bit embarrassing.

The only thing to worry about is the intelligence system and logistical support. However, we have made quite sufficient preparations in the early stage. Whether it is the Ministry of War, the Long Jinwei system, or Feng Ziying's own staff system, they have already made arrangements in advance. It is based on this.

, Feng Ziying only has this confidence.

"Okay, although I don't dare to pat my chest on this, I am very happy to have this confidence. There is an old saying that is good, strategically despise the enemy and tactically respect the enemy. The battle in Jiangnan is about the prestige of the imperial court, and at the same time it must be wiped out.

There were some unnecessary interferences and obstacles before the new emperor ascended the throne, so the court also made up its mind..."

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "For this purpose, the Ministry of Household Affairs has specially allocated two million taels of silver as military pay. Everything that should be paid has been put in place. Please make it clear to your subordinates that the imperial court will not be stingy in winning this battle."

There are all the rewards, wives and children, but military discipline must be enforced, especially for ordinary people, and military discipline must be ensured."

The generals also heard some meaning. Ordinary people cannot be harassed, but...

During the understanding meeting, all the generals smiled brightly, "Don't worry, sir, we understand that this is a battle for the imperial court to establish its prestige, and Jiangnan is also the imperial court's Jiangnan, and the people in Jiangnan are also the imperial court's people. We will never make it difficult for you, sir.

· 

Feng Ziying felt relieved when she saw that everyone understood what she meant.

Both Cao Wenzhao and Mao Wenlong came out of the bloody battle in Liaodong and were border troops. It is impossible to say how good military discipline is.

When we arrived at the flower world of Jiangnan and conquered places like Yangzhou, Jinling, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, how could we just impose bans and not disturb the local area at all?

This was what the court was most worried about at the time. The conquest of Jiangnan turned out to be a mess, and Jiangnan was completely destroyed. So what was the value of Jiangnan like this to the court?

We all know that bandits are like combs and soldiers are like grates. These soldiers are more terrifying than bandits. How can my father's Northwest Army be any better? They are all from the backcountry. Haha, if you have the opportunity to make a fortune, what's the point?

Can't you just make a fuss?

It's not like those of Wang Chengwu's troops who changed defenses and entered the capital. They had to work in the capital city for a long time, and they would naturally be obedient.

This Jiangnan may only come here once in his life, to fight with his head in his arms. As long as it is not too much, can his boss chop off his head?

Soldiers must have this thought, as they are afraid that cities such as Yangzhou, Jinling, Suzhou and Hangzhou will suffer.

Therefore, Feng Ziying had to draw a line for the generals first. It was impossible to completely cut off their thoughts, but they had to listen to the instructions. Feng Ziying also knew that it was impossible to let so many people come to fight without giving any benefits.

Yangzhou and Jinling are sacred places. The streets are filled with wealthy businessmen and noble families, and the gentry and noble families are everywhere. If you don't let them move, then you have to have a place to pour your heart out, right? You have to give people some thoughts, right?

The rewards from the court alone are not enough. They can only send the soldiers below, but what about the generals?

Therefore, before going south, Feng Ziying asked Wang Wenyan to sort out those die-hard loyalists of the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty who were too eager to think about how they would rise from the dragon after Prince Yi Zhong came to power.

Clean it up and clean it up.

There is no other way. This is true for all wars. Civil wars and foreign wars are similar. In other words, if you surrender and admit defeat, fewer people will die. This is the only way.

"As long as you understand, this battle must not only create momentum, but also achieve the purpose of the court. Of course, I am not that pedantic. The soldiers have traveled thousands of miles to fight and walked with their heads high, so naturally they have to

Only when there is a policy of rewards and punishments can the public be convinced." Seeing that everyone understood what she was thinking, Feng Ziying said without hesitation: "I think I still have some credibility. Whatever I promise, I must honor it, but the request I make must also be fulfilled.

Comply, can you all do it?"

Seeing Feng Ziying's solemn words, everyone was shocked and understood that this person was a civil servant.

Later, he also wanted to make progress, and he must have promised to the cabinet. If he really made people angry in Jiangnan, he would definitely not be able to do his job when he returned, and then his group would definitely have a hard time as well.

"Sir, don't worry, we all understand." Cao Wenzhao was the first to express his position. Of course, Shen Yourong and Mao Wenlong also agreed. Only then did Feng Ziying ask about the current situation, and Hou Chengzu, who arrived earlier, also made a report.

Haizhou has been closed down, and of course the reason is very good. A large number of Japanese pirates were found at sea, and they may attack the Haizhou front line. The Denglai navy is now clearing them out, and it will take three to five days to close down the city.

The Japanese pirates have not been to Nanzhili for more than ten years, but the evil deeds of the Japanese pirates who attacked and plundered the coastal area on a large scale decades ago are still deeply remembered in the hearts of older generations, so the Navy closed the country on the grounds of the Japanese pirate attack.

The city also considers the people, so naturally they are supportive.

As a result, the flow of people and materials in this area was temporarily interrupted. Fortunately, it was only for three to five days, so everyone thought it was nothing.

"Currently, there should be no movement on the Yangzhou side. Haizhou is located in a corner of Huai'an Prefecture, across the Yellow River from Huai'an Prefecture, so it is not taken seriously, and the main attention on the Huai'an side is also

When it comes to Suqian and Qingjiangpu, even Pizhou seems a little neglected, and Huai'an is not closely related to Huaiyang Town. Chen Jixian's main thoughts are on Baoying, Gaoyou and Jiangdu. Master Sun's army should have already been

We have to cross Hejian. If we calculate from the time point of view, by the time they arrive in Suqian, we may be able to land in Jiangdu."

Hou Chengzu was so ambitious that he directly chose Jiangdu for the first battle of landing.

Feng Ziying glanced at Shen Yourong and laughed, "Huaiyu, you are trying to take the credit for Denglai Town and the Liaodong Army. Jiangdu has tens of thousands of soldiers. Except for those in Baoying and Gaoyou, Chen Jixian put all his main forces in

You're near Jiangdu, your naval camp only has 6,000 people, which is seven or eight times as many as your enemies. Do you have confidence?"

Hou Chengzu also glanced at Shen Yourong, and said calmly and confidently: "Although Chen Jixian's Huaiyang Town seems to have a lot of soldiers, they are from the Beijing Camp, let alone the Fifth Army Camp, but they have been in Beijing for many years, and they have developed a dandy atmosphere. It's very heavy. To be honest, maybe my foundation was not bad in the past, but after staying in Beijing for a long time, everyone knew that they would be exhausted, so everyone didn't think much of it. Moreover, they spent their idle time in Xuzhou and Yangzhou in the past few years. , basically wiped away their remaining fighting spirit, and the general does not think they still have much fighting spirit,..."

"Perhaps the middle- and upper-class generals may still be a little concerned about their positions and wealth, and are somewhat willing to fight, but what about the ordinary soldiers? They are still somewhat willing to fight for Jiangnan, which has little to do with them. Will the three towns risk their lives to fight this war? The general thought, as long as he gives them a hard blow in the first battle, knocks them unconscious and makes them understand that the war is life and death, they will give up and continue to resist. thought,······"

Hou Chengzu's analysis made Cao Wenzhao and Mao Wenlong look at each other with admiration. Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but praise: "Brother Shihong, Huaiyu is good. It's a pity to be in the naval camp. Why not come to me and be a counselor?" How about being a guerrilla and growing faster?"

Shen Yourong smiled and stroked his beard with contentment: "Okay, Wen Zhao, don't try to take advantage of my people. I trained Huaiyu with great difficulty. Next, the navy battalion will be expanded to the third battalion. Even if he is a guerrilla, he can still lead thousands of people. Isn’t it better than being a general in your place?"

Cao Wenzhao didn't care, he just had a temporary idea, not to mention he also had his own confidants, and his qualifications and abilities were no worse than Hou Chengzu's.

"Huaiyu's ambition is commendable, but after all, Jiangdu still has tens of thousands of troops. As long as a few of them dare to fight, the situation will reach a stalemate. So I agree with Huaiyu's words to completely defeat them with one blow. To make other departments lose their will to fight again, this cannot be done with just a few thousand sailors."

Mao Wenlong interjected, he did not go south with more than 10,000 subordinates to make soy sauce. Without military exploits, how could he go to the Dongjiang Town that was about to be established? How could he fight against the general soldier of Dongjiang Town?

How can there be rewards for so many young men? You, the Denglai navy, have taken all the benefits. It would be better not to come this time.

Hou Chengzu was quite fond of the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong.

He respects it, but disagrees with the other party's belief that it is difficult to defeat him in one blow: "Although Mr. Mao's Jiangdu garrison has thirty or forty thousand people, they are not all gathered in one place. Since we are making a surprise attack, we must be quick, steady, accurate and ruthless, etc." To truly defeat a group and let the defeated troops sweep forward, or in other words, how many people in Huaiyang Town are willing to really fight to the death?"

"Huaiyu, I admit that the few thousand men in the naval camp can defeat an ordinary Huaiyang army of tens of thousands or ten thousand in one blow, but can you deny that Chen Jixian's personal soldiers can do the same? They are all Chen Jixian's private soldiers. Understand that once they are finished, their fate will also be trampled under their feet. In this case, they will be scattered? Impossible."

Mao Wenlong was very calm, "In the final analysis, Chen Jixian's tens of thousands of loyal troops must be completely wiped out before we can say that Yangzhou will be defeated in one battle. Moreover, your Excellency has also said that the imperial court's request cannot harm Yangzhou itself. Once it falls into a stalemate and melee, the rebels will make a fuss.

It may be difficult to control, so your sailors alone are not enough!"

The battle has not yet begun, both sides have begun to compete for the task of vanguard. Hou Chengzu does not even want the Liaodong Army to join, because he wants to take advantage of the sky.
