In the main hall of the palace, Emperor Xuan Si directly made the final decision.
And next, there is a debate!
The reason why Emperor Xuan Si deliberately placed the battle-discussion site in Wuying Hall instead of the Ministry of War was because he also wanted to participate in the whole process.
But this is only at the strategic level. As for the pre-war deployment, Emperor Xuan Si had actually discussed it with Yan Bing and the others last night, and before going to court, he sent someone to inform the commander of the Heijinsi, Zeng Ke, to implement it.
That is, at the hub between Jiayuguan and Ningxia Prefecture, Lanzhou, a temporary workshop was built, and two thousand of the 5,000 craftsmen in the west of the Beijing Workshop were allocated.
In this way, the remaining 3,000 people not only maintained the normal operation of the Beijing West Workshop, but also laid a cornerstone of the industrial line at the front line where they attacked the enemy territory, thus ensuring the ammunition supply and weapon filling efficiency of the front line troops.
As for the granary, after some discussion, the two selected two important border defense cities in Ganzhou and Zhongwei with their backs to the Alxa Desert. They relied on natural barriers to ensure the absolute safety of the flanks of the granary and ensured that the grain supply lines of the two routes of troops would not be too long.
After all, Yan Bing, who started out by "burning granaries", has a deep understanding of the importance of the supply line.
And last night, during the process of Yan Bing and Emperor Xuan Si revealing their family background, the "Lao Yin Bi" Emperor Xuan Si gave Yan Bing a big surprise.
As the absolute main force on the battlefield, Yan Bing's Tongshun Army has all equipped with the modified version of the Chinese Magic of Whitworth rifle.
The first rear-loading rifle on the contemporary history line was also officially named by Yan Bing as the "Warwick" rifle.
As for artillery, the assembly of the Tongshun Army was obviously insufficient.
Thousands of craftsmen from Yingxian Academy worked day and night, and only 31 artillery pieces were completed and delivered to the troops.
The wealthy Emperor Xuan Si not only replaced the entire 70,000 troops with Warwick rifles, but also equipped the troops with 300 new cannons. He even agreed with a proud look on his request to allocate fifty stock cannons to Yan Bing, and expressed his sincere "mercy" and "sarcasm" to her.
"Yes! I can't compare to Your Majesty's wealth and greatness! Then is Your Majesty's main force famous?" Yan Bing looked at Emperor Xuan Si with a wry smile.
"Shenji Camp" Emperor Xuan Si blurted out without thinking.
"…………………!!!?? What's the name!!???? Please say it again!! I didn't hear it clearly!!! Yan Bing's eyes widened, and even raised her fingers and slid her ears, making sure she had heard it right.
Emperor Xuan Si frowned at Yan Bing, who was shocked, and asked in an unhappy tone: "What's wrong with the Shenji Camp? Isn't this name good?? It's taken from the meaning of magical skills, what? Isn't it worthy of the weapon you designed?"
"I deserve it!! I deserve it! Your Majesty is so literary!!!" Yan Bing slanted his eyes, grinned, and raised his thumb and echoed loudly.
What does it mean to be a different path...
I've seen it today!!!
I just don’t know what Zhu Di will feel if he is on the scene...
Emperor Xuan Si looked at Yan Bing with a wry smile and thought he was not satisfied with his military title, so he whispered: "Actually... I have thought about calling Shenhuo Camp... but I have thought about it for a long time..."
"No need! Your Majesty!! It's great to call Shenji Camp!! It's easy to remember it too!!! Yan Bing hurriedly waved his hand while dissuading him.
After revealing each other's family background, Yan Bing has basically been 100% sure about the outcome of the war. After today's court meeting, he discussed the specific strategic deployment with several officials from the Ministry of War.
Time is brought back to Chenshi after retreating...
Imperial Palace
Wuying Palace
"The biggest problem in this attack on Valo is that the initiative to start a war is not in our hands..." He Yougui tapped the border battle map with his finger stick, revealing the biggest difficulty in fighting against nomadic peoples in one sentence.
Yan Bing also has a deep understanding of this.
After all, in her original timeline, because the early Ming Dynasty was too powerful, she directly leveled all the cities that the Yuan Dynasty had built on the grasslands and brought them back to the nomadic era. Therefore, when it was in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, facing the Tatars and Oirats, which were moving around at any time, going abroad to fight was basically a waste of effort.
When you want to find him, he hides from you. When you are tired of finding him, you are tired of being trapped and tired, and when you are about to go back, he jumps out of nowhere, chases you and kicks you hard, and then swallows your entire army.
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 nomadic peoples.
Because I don’t know where to fight... and I don’t know where to fight... The initiative in the war is always in the hands of others.
But the reason why Yan Bing is still confident even though she knows this difficulty is that there is a "talent" she urgently needs in this room.
Yang Hao!!!
To talk about what Yang Hao has done specifically... it will make countless people who are familiar with history laugh and cry.
On the original timeline, in the 47th year of Wanli, there was a famous battle that determined the survival of the Ming Dynasty called the Battle of Sarhu. The commander of the Ming army who was in charge of this battle at that time was the famous "Yang Hao".
And the first thing that Lord Yang Hao did after taking the position of command! It was to write a letter...
The content in the letter roughly includes the number of troops, routes of troops, and time of troops sent by the Ming army in the attack on the Jurchens... and in the second half of the letter, sincerely greeted Nurhaci's ancestors' 18 generations.
Then he arranged people to deliver the letter to Nurhaci before the Ming army went to war...
So, after receiving this letter, Nurhaci adhered to all the knowledge points of the Chinese high-hei learning, and smiled and tore off the second half of the letter, took the first half of the letter, held a pleasant combat meeting, and as per the prompts in the letter, gathered the main force, completed four perfect ambush and interlude, and finally won the war at an extremely low price.
And this Lord Yang Hao is the most important contributor to Nurhaci and has made great contributions!!
Therefore, many history enthusiasts gave this to Lord Yang a kind idiom.
Nothing can do, mocking the number one.
And this Lord Yang Hao also has a brand new identity in this era, that is, the Minister of War, Li Yuanqi!
This is also why Yan Bing has been smiling at him since the debate in Wuying Palace began.
In Sarhu, maybe he is a waste!!
But in this battle with the Kingdom of Valo, this "sarcastic master" is the talent that Yan Bing urgently needs at this moment!
Because of absolute firepower, you are never afraid of ambushing, and even more afraid of interlude! You are only afraid of no target to attack.
Therefore, how to turn Lord Li Yuanqi into treasure will be the key to the entire battle!
"Duke Ding... you always laugh at the officials... What's the reason?" Li Yuanqi couldn't stand Yan Bing's eyes and expressions anymore, so he asked directly.
"Do I have it?" Yan Bing immediately put away the smile on his face when he heard this, but the next second, he couldn't help but burst into a dark smile on his face.
"Mr. Li... Please help your country's Duke write a letter to the Khan of the Varo Kingdom..." After saying that, Yan Bing still had a bad smile on his face.
Li Yuanqi, who was standing by, slowly took two steps back, and his heart kept getting tired...
