In the main hall of the palace, Emperor Xuansi made the final decision.
And what follows is a debate!
The reason why Emperor Xuansi deliberately placed the venue of the debate in the Wuying Hall instead of the Ministry of War was because he wanted to participate in the whole process.
But this was only at the strategic level. As for the pre-war deployment, Emperor Xuan Si had actually discussed it with Yan Bing last night, and before going to court, he sent a notice to Zeng Ke, the commander of the Black Jin Division.
Implementation.
That is, to build a temporary workshop in Lanzhou, the hub between Jiayuguan and Ningxia Fuzheng, and transfer 2,000 of the 5,000 craftsmen from the West Beijing workshop to it.
In this way, the remaining three thousand people not only maintained the normal operation of the Jingxi workshop, but also laid an industrial cornerstone at the front line of the enemy's territory, thereby ensuring the supply of ammunition and weapons for the front line troops.
Filling efficiency.
As for the granary, after some discussion, the two chose Ganzhou and Zhongwei, two important border defense towns backed by the Alxa Desert. They relied on natural barriers to ensure the absolute safety of the flanks of the granary and ensured the food supply for the two troop dispatch routes.
The line will not be too long.
After all, Yan Bing, who started his career by "burning granary", has a deep understanding of the importance of supply lines.
And last night, when Yan Bing and Emperor Xuan Si revealed each other's family background, "Old Yin Bi" Emperor Xuan Si gave Yan Bing another big surprise.
As the absolute main force on the battlefield, Yan Bing's Tongshun Army has all equipped with the Chinese Magic modified version of the Whitworth rifle.
This first breech-loading rifle in contemporary history was officially named the "Warwick" rifle by Yan Bing.
As for artillery, the Tongshun Army's equipment was obviously insufficient.
Thousands of Yingxianyuan craftsmen worked day and night, but only thirty-one artillery pieces were completed and delivered to the troops.
The wealthy Emperor Xuan Si not only equipped a 70,000-strong army with Warwick rifles, but also equipped the army with 300 new artillery pieces, and even agreed to give them to Yan Bing with a proud look on his face.
Requested for the deployment of fifty artillery stocks, and expressed sincere "pity" and "ridicule" to her.
"Yes! I can't compare to your Majesty's wealth and wealth! Then does your Majesty's main force have a reputation?" Yan Bing looked at Emperor Xuan Si with a wry smile.
"Shenji camp" Emperor Xuansi blurted out without even thinking.
"…………!!!??? What!?? What is it called!!??? Please say it again, Your Majesty! I didn’t hear you clearly!!!" Yan Bing’s eyes widened and he even raised his finger.
, he picked his ears to make sure he heard correctly.
Emperor Xuansi looked at the shocked Yan Bing, frowned, and asked in a very unhappy tone: "What's wrong with Shenji Camp? Isn't this a good name for me!? It comes from the meaning of ingenuity of divine skills.
,What? Is it not worthy of the weapon you designed?"
"It's worthy! It's so worthy! Your Majesty is so talented in literature!!!" Yan Bing squinted, grinned, and loudly agreed with his thumb.
What is the special meaning of different paths leading to the same destination...
I finally saw it today!!!
I just don’t know how Zhu Di would feel if he were to be at the scene...
Emperor Xuansi looked at Yan Bing with a wry smile on his face, thinking that he was not satisfied with the name of his army, so he whispered: "Actually... I also thought about calling it Shenhuo Camp... but after thinking about it..."
"That's not necessary!! Your Majesty! Just call it Shenji Camp! It's easy to remember, too!" Yan Bing hurriedly waved his hand to dissuade him.
After revealing each other's family backgrounds, Yan Bing was basically 100% sure of the outcome of this war. After today's court meeting, he discussed specific strategic deployment issues with several officials from the Ministry of War.
Time once again stretched back to Chenshi after retreating from the imperial court...
royal palace
Wuying Palace
"The biggest problem with this attack on Varro Country is that we do not have the initiative to start the war..." He Yougui pointed out the border battle map with a finger stick in his hand, and explained the biggest difficulty in fighting the nomads in one sentence.
Yan Bing also deeply agrees with this point.
After all, in her original timeline, because the Ming Dynasty was too powerful in the early days, it directly flattened all the cities that the Yuan Dynasty had built on the grasslands and pushed them back to the nomadic age. Therefore, by the time of the middle of the Ming Dynasty,
In the later period, facing the Tatars and Oaras whose capitals were moving around at any time, going abroad to fight was basically a waste of effort.
When you want to look for him, he avoids you. When you are tired of looking for him, you are tired of people and horses, and when you are ready to go back, he pops out from nowhere, chases after your butt and kicks you until you are on your back.
, and then swallow your entire army whole.
The famous Tumu Fort Incident is a vivid example.
It was also since then that the Ming Dynasty never organized any large-scale war against the nomads.
Because, I don’t know where to fight at all... I don’t even know where to fight... The initiative in war is always in the hands of others.
But the reason why Yan Bing is still confident despite knowing this difficulty is because there is a "talent" in this room that she urgently needs.
Yang Hao!!!
Specifically speaking, what Yang Hao has done...that would make countless people who are familiar with history dumbfounded.
In the original timeline, in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, there was a famous battle called the Battle of Sarhu that determined the survival of the Ming Dynasty. The commander-in-chief of the Ming army at that time was the famous "Yang Hao"
"grown ups.
And the first big thing this Lord Yang Hao did after taking the position of commander-in-chief was to write a letter...
The content of the letter probably includes the number of all the troops, the routes and the time of the Ming army's attack on the Jurchens... and in the second half of the letter, sincere greetings to the eighteen generations of Nurhaci's ancestors.
Then arrange for someone to deliver this letter to Nurhachi before the Ming army goes out to fight...
So, after receiving the letter, Nurhachi inherited all the knowledge points of Huaxia Houhei, smiled and tore up the second half of the letter, and took the first half of the letter and started a happy battle
Meeting, and following the instructions in the letter, the main force was assembled and completed four perfect ambushes and insertions. In the end, the war was won at a very low cost.
And this Lord Yang Hao can be said to be Nurhaci’s greatest contributor, and he deserves the most credit!!
Therefore, many history lovers gave this Mr. Yang a kind farewell.
Do whatever you can't do, mock the first place.
And this Lord Yang Hao also has a new identity in this era, that is, Li Yuanqi, the Minister of War!
This is why Yan Bing has been looking at him and smiling since the Wuying Palace debate began.
In Salhu, maybe he is a waste!!
But in this battle with Varro Kingdom, this "master of ridicule" is exactly the talent Yan Bing needs urgently at this moment!
Because of the absolute firepower, I am never afraid of ambushes, let alone insertion! I am just afraid that there is no target to attack.
Therefore, how to turn this Lord Li Yuanqi into a treasure will be the key to the entire battle!
"Mr. Dingguo...you keep looking at your subordinates and laughing...? What's the reason?" Li Yuanqi couldn't stand Yan Bing's eyes and expression anymore, so he asked directly.
"Have I?" Upon hearing this, Yan Bing immediately put away the smile on his face, but the next second, he couldn't help but burst into a sinister smile.
"Shilang Li... Can you help my father-in-law write a letter to the Khan of Varo Kingdom...?" After saying that, Yan Bing still had a bad smile on his face.
Li Yuanqi, who was watching from the side, slowly took two steps back, his heart trembling...
