(Third update, here comes the awesome one, brothers, please vote red)
Lin Fu, Cao Zi'ang, Ning Zechen, Sun Shangwang and others climbed up the seawall, looked at the busy construction site at the mouth of the Wushui River, pointed to the left and right and said: "While Li Zhuo is effectively reorganizing the Yanbei defense line, we must beware of the Donglu Association.
After the autumn comes, we will invade the border again..."
"Yes, the border is as broken as tofu. If it were me, I would come here to cause trouble once a year..." Ning Zechen said with emotion. If it weren't for the Jinzhong Army, Shao Wujun and others who fought several hard battles with the Donglu, the Donglu would have been destroyed.
The prisoners who invaded this time may not even lose a few hairs. Now the Jinzhong Army has been crippled, Shaowu Army has been crippled, and although Jiangdong Zuoying is more prosperous, it is still very weak.
"Next time, maybe it won't be King Qin's turn to go north to Zuoying from Jiangdong." Cao Zi'ang sighed slightly.
Lin Fu took a deep breath. He was able to stay in Jinhai for the time being because the imperial court needed him to stay in Jinhai Association to organize sea canals and transport grain to Jinhai warehouse. When the grain shortage crisis in the capital was eased, Jiangdong Zuoying would need
He returned to Jiangdong to garrison. He didn’t know if he would get the chance to go to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit. Lin Fu didn’t have any expectations for this, but Lin Mengde and others were looking forward to it. With Jiangdong Zuoying’s four battles won,
As well as his contribution to co-organizing the Hai Cao Campaign, it seems that he is a deserved honor to go to Beijing with a special purpose. Next time the Donglu invade the border again, whether he can go north to King Qin depends on Yue Lengqiu's face. Of course, the Ministry of War directly
It is also possible to transfer Jiangdong Zuoying to King Qin in Beijing, but this possibility is very small.
What Lin Fu was worried about was whether Jinhai could establish a complete defense system before the Donglu invaded the border next time.
"Hejian Prefecture, Jinhai County, the Water Transport Department, and the Salt and Iron Department will all gather here. When the food shortage crisis in the capital is relieved, a new city will be built here," Lin Fu said to Sun Shangwang,
"The functions of the temporary Wukou Inspection Department will be the same as those of Jinhai County and will be abolished. If you want to serve locally, I can recommend you..."
"If you don't think Shang Wang is stupid, I would like to keep accounts and copy them for you..." Sun Shangwang didn't really want to hold a local official position. He wanted to integrate into the Jiangdong Zuoying group instead of staying in the local area and scheming. He never had the chance.
Speaking of which, when Sun Shangwang saw Lin Fu talking about it today, he made a request directly.
"Well, accounting and copying have compromised your talents," Lin Fu pondered for a moment and said, "Then I will serve you as a member of the Xie Cao Corps and be regarded as a subordinate of Jiangdong Zuoying, but I still hope that you can stay.
In Jinhai, after all, you are familiar with the situation here..."
"Since I am a member of the Jiangdong Left Camp, I am naturally at your mercy when I go or stay," Sun Shangwang said.
"What's the difference?" Ning Zechen asked with a smile.
Lin Fu stopped them from discussing too sensitive topics with his eyes, and said to Sun Shangwang: "I will not stay in Jinhai Xiecao for a long time, and I will be transferred back to Jiangdong. However, the Xiecao issue cannot be abandoned. Contact the merchants.
, the various measures taken by the shipowner cannot be discarded. After we leave, things here will be dominated by you... Jinwei Island is no different from a private island. I want you to build it into a strong fortress at all costs. I will leave a sentry.
Soldier, a thousand-stone warship is placed on the island. You don't need to take care of the daily training. If there is an urgent need, I will listen to you. In addition, Jinwei Island reserves food and water, which is limited to enough for ten thousand people for a month.
After the invaders invaded, the Jinwei Navy and civilians were preparing to evacuate to Jinwei Island. I pointed out the key point with Lin Xuwen and asked him to concentrate the elites from Jinzhong and stay in Jinhai New City. During the war, Jinwei Island wanted Zhoujiazhai, and Jinhai New City was the horn of each other.
…”
"Your Excellency, you don't have any confidence in Li Zhuoping's plan?" Sun Shangwang asked doubtfully.
Lin Fu could see the copy of Pinglu's policy, and naturally Cao Zi'ang, Ning Zechen, Sun Shangwang and others could also see it, but it was limited to these people.
Lin Fu turned around and looked at the blue sea, sighed softly, and said: "Li Zhuo has a plan to use troops. The plan to pacify the prisoners must be said to be the best one, but it is not easy to implement..."
"What should I say? Please enlighten me, sir." Sun Shangwang asked.
"Before the fiasco of Chentangyi, the DPRK and China deployed an external defense strategy against the Donglu. Relying on the Yanshan defense line, they built layers of forts and fortresses on the periphery to compress the strategic space of the Donglu," Lin Fu said, "Chentang
As soon as Yi was defeated, the frontier troops retreated to the Yanshan defense line before gaining a foothold. In order to regain the strategic disadvantage, the Ministry of War's defense strategy against the Donglu was still focused on external defense, and they always wanted to continue building forts and fortresses outside the Yanshan defense line.
Deepen the depth of the Yanshan defense line. Before the fiasco at Chentangyi, the frontier troops still dared to fight with the prisoners in the field. The outer fortresses built with the idea of exterior defense can serve as horns for each other. But after the fiasco at Chentangyi, the idea of external defense was somewhat different.
If it fails, all the defenders will huddle in the fortress and dare not move out. They will lose the role of mutual horns and unite, and they will not be able to smoothly promote the military fortress and farmland, making it extremely expensive to build external defenses and difficult to achieve.
Great results…”
"...The strategic thinking of Li Zhuo's strategy for pacifying the enemy is contrary to the external defense, which is to shrink the internal defense. The first step is to firmly hold the Yanshan defense line, give up the effort to build fortifications on the external line to increase the depth of defense, and on the basis of retreating and consolidating, mobilize
The elite gathered in Linyu (Shanhaiguan) or Jizhou, Jinhai, and Dengzhou to form a deep defense on the inside - this is the Pinglu Ce we see, but in this Pinglu Ce
, Li Zhuo only wrote the first stage of his overall idea. Look at the opposite side..." Lin Fu pointed to the northeast. Behind the sea level is the Liaodong Peninsula. "On the opposite side is Liaodong, which is behind the enemy lines of Donglu. If Zhao Pinglu
The strategic layout formed a three-way layout of Linyu or Jizhou, Jinhai, and Dengzhou where heavy troops were assembled. In fact, it was a three-way attack on the Donglu. After preparations were completed, the heavy troops assembled in Linyu or Jizhen moved along the western Liaoning area.
The northward advance formed a frontal battlefield against the Donglu and contained the main force of the Donglu. However, the two armies were diverted from Jinhai and Dengzhou used the boat division to carry troops directly to Liaodong behind the enemy. The attack was sure to save the enemy. Even if the enemy could not be defeated in one fell swoop, it could still form an initiative on the outside.
The offensive situation. Even if it turns into an external defense strategy at this time, it will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort..."
"According to what Ping Lu Ce said, it may be possible. Even if it fails once, as long as the Yanshan defense line is stable, we can carry out a second and third three-pronged attack on Dong Lu." Ning Zechen asked, "Why are you not optimistic at all?"
the opinion of?"
"If the current sage really has a clear vision of great talent and great strategy, and can stick to Li Zhuo unswervingly, we may be able to pacify the captives in five years," Lin Fu said in front of Cao Zi'ang, Ning Zechen, and Sun Shangwang without hesitation, "With Li Zhuo
The first step is to give up the opponent's strategy and completely abandon the external defense strategy, so that the limited power can be concentrated on the inside to rectify and accumulate. Abandoning the opponent is necessary to accumulate strength, just like when we boxing, five-finger fisting is necessary.
Only when they are taken back can they be fought out more effectively. Even if the rebel soldiers break through the border again and invade, Li Zhuo will have a well-established and mutually trusting strong force on the inside to actively fight with the captive soldiers, and the Jinzhong Army will not be annihilated again.
, the pattern of Jibei Army watching on the sidelines can even form a pattern of internal battles that is beneficial to me - so Li Zhuoping's strategy at first glance is a strategic idea of deep defense on the inside..."
Lin Fu continued: "...There are several problems here that are difficult to solve. First, Li Zhuo's strategic thinking is very different from the strategic thinking of the Ministry of War and Hao Zongcheng and others. It can even be said to be completely opposite. How to convince the Ministry of War and others?
Will the various parties implement his strategic ideas to the letter? In addition, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have been clamoring all day long to regain the ancestral homeland and advance to the outside. Can they withstand Li Zhuo's first step of "abandoning his son to be the first"?
Layout? The third is that Li Zhuo will concentrate his limited military power on the inner line for reorganization and accumulation. It will take a long time to reorganize the Jibei Army to achieve results. The best way is to push the Jibei Army to the Yanshan defense line and push the Jibei Army to the Yanshan defense line.
The elite Chen Zhihu Department that Li Zhuo created in East Fujian was transferred to the inside line for reinforcement, but will the imperial court feel confident that Chen Zhihu Department will be transferred to the inside line for Li Zhuo to use?"
"Oh, I also find it strange. Why did Li Zhuo deliberately avoid Chen Zhihu's troops in Pinglu Ce and actively asked to lead the Jibei Army? It turns out that it was to prevent unnecessary suspicion!" Ning Zechen suddenly realized.
Cao Zi'ang laughed and said nothing. If Li Zhuo had mentioned using Chen Zhihu when he was pacifying Lu Ce, it would have been impossible for Ping Lu Ce to surface.
"Fourth, even if the central government agrees with Li Zhuo's inner-line defense-in-depth idea of abandoning his sons and rushing to the front, he will still have to endure at least one time when the captive troops break into the border. After all, after abandoning his sons and rushing to the front, and abandoning the outer line, the Yanshan defense line is too weak, and the captive troops must be released
Go to the inner line to conduct defensive operations. The size of the losses will completely determine the progress of the Jibei Army's consolidation when the border invaders invaded." Lin Fu pointed to the Jibei Army camp in the north and asked Ning Zechen and others, "Just such an army
If you were to reorganize the army, how long would it take to reorganize it into an elite force capable of fighting in the field, so that the soldiers would not easily break through the border and join the invaders? How long would it take to form a three-pronged counterattack from Linyu, Jinhai, and Dengzhou at the same time?
situation?"
"Two years..." Ning Zechen said uncertainly, "Li Zhuo is famous all over the world for his military management. Maybe it won't take that much time."
"Even if it takes two years," Lin Fu said, "but if Li Zhuo's first counterattack fails after two years, even though the five-year agreement has not expired, do you think the imperial court will organize a second three-pronged attack for him?
Any chance?"
Cao Zi'ang sighed slightly: "With the magnanimity of the person sitting on the dragon's throne now, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it even if he invades the border for the second time. Li Zhuo was smart enough not to mention this in the plan, for fear of
I'm afraid that he will be misled by his cleverness..."
"No," Lin Fu shook his head, "Li Zhuo should have thought of this. He stood up resolutely to gain time for 'abandoning the son to be the first', reorganizing the inner line and arranging a three-way layout, which was mentioned during the Ping Lu Ce
To use barbarians to control barbarians is just to buy more time. Maybe the second attempt to invade the border with troops is unavoidable, and he will be accused and dismissed from office. But as long as his successors can inherit his strategic thinking, there is still a chance of success! At least he can win against the barbarians.
Donglu's strategy has regained some passivity."
Sun Shangwang, Ning Zechen sighed slightly, and Cao Ziang also sighed slightly. He had to admit that Li Zhuo was more broad-minded than the Marquis, but it was too difficult to implement his strategic ideas.
(Note: Having written this chapter, the debate about "Li Zhuo alluding to Yuan" in the book review area should be settled. It is normal for the characters in the novel to be based on historical figures. One or two of them are plausible, but there is no need to force the whole
