Prince Qin's Mansion, inside Lingyun Hall.

Su He is listening to the report from Yang Qianhe, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

"Your Highness King Qin, Ming Dynasty has withdrawn its troops, and we have occupied the three provinces of Shaanxi and Yunnan-Guizhou.

In response to the Ming army's encirclement and suppression war.

The informants developed by our Military Intelligence Agency lost 268 people.

Their sacrifices were extremely valuable and brought us a large amount of intelligence.

They are one of the cornerstones of our victory in this war.

The intelligence they provided helped the frontline generals to attack the Ming army in a targeted manner.

Among them, Lu Kaifang, a personal soldier under Chen Hongfan, the commander-in-chief of Henan Province.

He made the greatest contribution, single-handedly causing Chen Hongfan and the Baigan soldiers to turn against each other in advance.

It will directly cause the Ming army in Sichuan to collapse."

Su Hu listened to Yang Qianhe's report. He had just finished listening to Su Changsheng's report.

This was an encirclement and suppression campaign by the Ming army. The secret guards and the Military Intelligence Bureau all played a big role on the covert front.

The counterinsurgency work of the Ming army was almost zero.

A large number of intelligence personnel from the Qin Palace were active with the Ming army, making the battlefield one-way transparent to them.

Frontline commanders can adjust their combat plans in a timely manner based on the actual situation.

"These are all meritorious personnel and sacrificed personnel. If it does not affect the existing plans, their identities can be disclosed.

Let their families know that these people are martyrs.

Even if it is not convenient to disclose his identity, his family members will be treated the same as the family members of martyrs and their families will be taken care of."

Yang Qianhe continued to report: "Your Highness King Qin, the intelligence personnel we sent are mainly from the Ming Dynasty, but they also infiltrated from other places.

Most of them are at the grassroots level, and the information they obtain is basically public information.

The Ming Dynasty encircled and suppressed us, and some things happened during and after the war.

I selected some important things and reported them to His Highness King Qin.

Xu Guangqi, the assistant minister of the Ming Dynasty, recommended some people before his death.

One of the officials, Sun Chuanting, was immediately reused by Emperor Chongzhen.

Huang Taiji led his army to attack Daling River City, and the Ming Dynasty sent Sun Chuanting to lead troops to support him.

The rebel army Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other troops invaded Henan.

They coerced the people and attacked Luoyang and Nanyang respectively.

The Ming court sent Lu Xiangsheng to destroy Gao Yingxiang and capture Gao Yingxiang.

Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were afraid of Lu Xiangsheng, so they fled to Xiangyang, Huguang.

These two men were defeated by Zuo Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of Huguang.

They were recruited and surrendered by Fang Kongzhen, the new governor of Huguang.

Before Huang Taiji attacked Dalinghe City, when the Ming Dynasty encircled and suppressed us.

He gathered the main troops and horses, united the Eight Mongolian Banners who had surrendered to them, and attacked the Chahar tribe where the Mongolian Khan Lindan Batur was located.

The Chahar tribe could not resist. They had already fled towards the Hetao, and the Eight Banners soldiers and the Mongolian Eight Banners were pursuing them from behind.

It is expected that the Chahar tribe will come to the Hetao area next year, please prepare in advance for His Highness the King of Qin."

Su He listened to Yang Qianhe's report, and the most touching incident was Huang Taiji's attack on Dalinghe.

In the original history, this war was the turning point between the establishment of slaves and the Ming Dynasty.

Through this war, Huang Taiji washed away the shame of Ningyuan, the Eight Banners, and established the confidence of the Eight Banners soldiers.

In particular, the elite Guan Ning Army of the Ming Dynasty, which numbered 5,000 to 6,000 men, was defeated by Huang Taiji's 200 soldiers.

This kind of achievement will make anyone's jaw drop when they hear it.

Let everyone at the Eight Banners realize that the Ming army is vulnerable.

The Battle of Daling River also indirectly led to Kong Youde's rebellion.

Kong Youde brought artillery talents and artillery casting skills to Jiannu.

Let Jiannu completely make up for the shortcomings of firearms, and they used Hongyi cannon to take down the Ming Ningjin defense line.

There is no technological generation difference between the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu.

The Ming Dynasty was so rotten that it lost the ability to centralize power.

They were defeated by the establishment slaves who had upgraded from a fishing and hunting power structure to a centralized one.

Su He hoped that Sun Chuanting, one of the most capable people in the late Ming Dynasty, would come to him.

If we can protect the Daling River, we must also protect the Ningjin Defense Line.

Kong Youde was caught by Su Hu, and he no longer had the ability to send firearms to Jiannu.

Without the assistance of Hongyi artillery, it would be difficult for Jiannu to break through the Ningjin defense line.

Su He didn't want Jiannu to attack the Ming Dynasty before he was ready. He would be too passive in that case.

Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng both began to rise. With these two people as watchmen, the Ming Dynasty could continue to live for a long time.

Su He asked Yang Qianhe to focus on the news about Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and Li Zicheng.

He did not believe that Li Zicheng would die in the rebellion.

Li Zicheng's vitality was too tenacious and he was extremely sensitive to dangers on the battlefield. He would run away when something went wrong.

He was beaten by the Ming Dynasty until there were only a dozen people left, and he was able to rise again.

After Yang Qianhe retreated, Su He met Wang Shiyuan again in Lingyun Hall.

Su He transferred Wang Shiyuan from the First Army to the Third Army.

Mainly to cooperate with the plan of his brother Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong only believed in Wang Shiyuan and had no cooperation from Wang Shiyuan.

Then it would be impossible to ambush Guan Ning's army and establish victory on the northern front in one fell swoop.

Su He mobilized Wang Shiyuan and followed him, as well as some grassroots officers of the First Army.

Each arm of the Qin Army was built up bit by bit by senior generals.

Every army is more or less stamped with the personal imprint of its senior generals.

Sudden replacement of senior generals will lead to a decrease in the combat effectiveness of the army.

Unless something particularly bad happened, Su He was not prepared to do this.

The method he adopted was to mobilize middle- and low-level officers.

If a high-ranking general wants to cultivate his inner circle, he must have a large number of middle- and low-level officers.

The transfer of middle- and low-level officers is relatively frequent and will not affect the combat effectiveness of the army.

Middle and low-level officers do not need to have their own ideas.

As long as you can complete the above plan, you are a qualified officer.

Without the support of middle and lower-level officers, senior generals will be unable to achieve what they want to achieve.

Su He knew that people's hearts could not stand the test, so the best way was not to even give them a chance.

This method is just Su He's idea.

He took the opportunity to verify this method by mobilizing Wang Shiyuan, and has verified the feasibility of this method.

Mobilizing middle- and low-level officers will not affect the combat effectiveness of the army.

Wang Shiyuan has made great achievements and is no longer the Chief of Staff of the Third Army.

Su He promoted him to deputy chief of staff of the Dudu Mansion, a first-grade officer.

Specially responsible for the transfer of middle and low-level military officers.

Every two or three years or every time they are promoted based on merit, mid- and low-level officers are transferred from one army to another.

Wang Shiyuan walked in with a pile of information.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the candidate for officer promotion approved by the Ministry of Military Affairs.

I have helped them select the troops to be mobilized, please approve them."

Su He looked through the officer transfer arrangements arranged by Wang Shiyuan.

He watched carefully and found that Wang Shiyuan's arrangements were very good.

The new army arranged can basically take advantage of the strengths of these officers.
