After setting the strategy and operational guidelines for the expedition to Annan, everyone also believed that if Wang Xuan followed his lead, there would definitely be no more rebellions in Annan. Either everyone would be dead, or all those who had any rebellious intentions would be dead.
.
Especially since Wang Xuan is now demanding that no one be left alive in the entire Shenglong Mansion, this is equivalent to saying that half of the entire Annan and upper echelons will be killed.
At this time, Nan'an was in the early stage of the "Zheng-Nguyen War". At this time, Emperor Li was just a puppet. The power in the court was completely controlled by Zheng, known as "Lord Zheng". Emperor Li was only responsible for listening to the government and receiving envoys.
.
The place where he ruled was Thang Long Palace, which was later also called Hanoi. At least Wang Xuan didn't like the name Thang Long. Thang Long? Why don't you call Lushan Thang Long Bana!
The southern part of Annam is controlled by the Nguyen family, with the main political center in Hue, and Quang Nam Pass as the dividing line between the two sides.
If Shenglong can be defeated in one fell swoop, then the entire northern Annan will no longer have any form of resistance.
Wang Xuan never understood why the Ming Dynasty did not kill all the upper-level forces in Annan after successfully occupying Annan, but insisted on keeping them. Did it want to learn from the Tang Dynasty and get the grassland men to dance?
What kind of mentality is this? Does a silly old man look good dancing!?
Does the majesty of a great country need to be displayed in this way?
It would be better to kill everyone. It would be better to kill everyone who can read and return directly to the primitive era... and create a fucking rebellion.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang also knew how to stuff strips of cloth into the belly of fish...
The attack on Annan is a general direction, but there are still many details to be solved, such as troop mobilization, food and grass, large ships for transportation, specific combat plans, advance bases, etc. A series of problems are waiting to be solved.
War is never a child's play. Fighting with a slap on the forehead is not allowed.
In terms of military strength, Wang Xuan only had 50,000 men at his disposal. Excluding those stationed at the checkpoints leading to various provinces, each prefecture still had to leave some men behind, and Xiaoliuqiu also needed men. All he could use was 30,000 men.
Fortunately, his thirty thousand is a real number, that is, his real military strength. As for logistics, all is left to the merchants. With large ships for transportation, he is not afraid of the so-called expedition at all.
As for grain and grass, there were about two million acres of land in the first phase of Xiaoliuqiu's wasteland reclamation. Although the yield of the new land was not high, it could not support the large quantity. In addition, the area itself did not consume much, so it was definitely enough to support Wang Xuan's expedition to Annan.
Some of the large transport ships are Wang Xuan's own and the navy's, and some are hired merchant ships. Of course, these things are all being prepared, and the outside world has not received any news.
The army began to gather towards Zhangzhou Prefecture and Zhangpu. On weekdays, Wang Xuan often engaged in activities such as training and emergency marches. This time, no one noticed, and the departure of the two thousand troops from Fuzhou Port was even more silent.
sound.
These two thousand people were led by Yang Xingwei and accompanied by Fan Wencheng.
After arriving in Fujian, this guy's eyes were opened. The huge port, the people coming and going, the elite army, and the wealthy people are much more powerful than the Jurchens. It is a hundred times better to take refuge with such a person than the Jurchens.
ah!
At the very least, the label of a traitor was taken off. He secretly made up his mind that from now on, he would be the Han's absolute loyal minister and the first-class lackey in Wang Xuan's hands, and he would bite whoever he caught!
The credo of life in the future is, 1: Everything Wang Xuan said is right. 2: What to do if Wang Xuan is wrong, please refer to the first article!
Since Wang Xuan said to attack Annan, he will attack Annan. As for whether the Annan people will rebel?
It doesn't exist. He has been with the Jurchens for a year. He has indeed seen too much about this matter. Those Han slaves who were captured all the way, after being sent to various families, as long as they can still survive,
I have never thought of rebelling, and I would be grateful for a little sweetness.
The reason, he concluded, was that he was afraid of being killed!
It is a common characteristic of human beings to be afraid of power but not to be immoral, including those who have read the books of sages and understand things. They all behave in the same way. Look at how many scholars work for the Jurchens under their rule. Otherwise, we really expect those who fight against the big characters.
Don’t you even recognize a bunch of rough guys exercising their power?
For scholars living among the Jurchens, although they are worse than dogs when they meet the Jurchens, they are still domineering and domineering on weekdays, which is no worse than in the Central Plains.
Therefore, he was the most sympathetic to Wang Xuan's words. Go ahead and kill all those who have the guts to be a king and preach benevolence and righteousness. Then there will be nothing more.
This time, Fan Wencheng and Yang Xingwei's destination was 'Gusu County'. This Gusu was not the one outside Suzhou City, but a large island near the sea off Annan.
This is the forward base selected by Wang Xuan. All grain, ammunition, and soldiers will be slowly transported here, and then this place will be used as a bridgehead to attack Thang Long Mansion in one fell swoop.
Accompanying them were not only two thousand soldiers, but also many craftsmen and cargo ships, with the purpose of building the first few bases.
It was not until a month later, after Wang Xuan received the news that the construction of the forward base had been completed, that he convened everyone again for discussion.
Things were much simpler. The army was dispatched. There was no need to hide anything at this time. Moreover, no one would have thought that Wang Xuan was planning to attack Annan. After all, even the entire Ming Dynasty was unable to completely occupy Annan.
Let’s talk about Wang Xuan.
This move immediately attracted the attention of the entire Fujian and even the neighboring province of Guangdong. After all, Zhangzhou and Chaozhou of Guangdong are too close. It would be strange if such a large-scale move did not make people there confused.
Just when the big merchants in Chaozhou were confused, Wang Xuan's fleet disappeared without a trace. No one had seen it for several days, so no one paid attention to it.
In fact, it's not that no one saw it, but that the people who saw it were all recruited by Wang Xuan's order. As for whether the other party is willing to go out with the army and whether there will be losses, Wang Xuan has not considered this, and I believe that he has not.
People dare to mind.
Crossing Guangdong from Fujian, bypassing the Leizhou Strait, and heading straight to Gusu County, even with a relatively advanced ship like Wang Xuan's, it would take twenty days. Of course, for ancient wars, the twenty-day journey
, don’t be too close, there are many marches that take several months, not to mention, taking a boat is actually not tiring.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Twenty days later, the temporary pier in Gusu was still a little crude, but it was enough to berth temporarily. It took a day for the 30,000 troops to land ashore.
Well, there is no need to unload all kinds of baggage, they all have to go with the army.
Here, after three days of repairs, it was time to set off directly. At this moment, Wang Xuan began to issue specific orders.
Shenglong Mansion is located inland, but it can go all the way upstream through the Red River and directly penetrate into Shenglong Mansion. This is also Wang Xuan's confidence in defeating Shenglong Mansion. As long as he is caught by surprise and he is unprepared, with the 30,000 troops in his hand,
Wang Xuan is very confident that he can win it in one fell swoop.
It only takes a day to get from the mouth of the Red River to Thang Long Palace by land and water. The most important thing is how to prevent the enemy from discovering us.
In the camp hall, Wang Xuan stood next to the map on the wall and said in a deep voice: "According to the information received, the entire Annan has a population of 400,000, divided into the north and the south. The population in the north is about 230, and there are a total of 150,000 troops.
Stationed in various places.”
"The main garrison area is Guangnan, which is the front line of the Zheng-Ruan battle. Although there has not yet been a war, there are about 60,000 troops stationed there. In addition, it borders Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty.
, there are more than 30,000 troops stationed there."
"Of the remaining 60,000 people, there are 40,000 in Thang Long Prefecture, about 10,000 troops are stationed in other prefectures, and another 10,000 are stationed here."
Wang Xuan emphatically knocked here and continued: "This is called Nanding, which is the outer gate of Shenglong Mansion. It is only two hundred miles away from Shenglong Mansion. It can be reached by boat in half a day. If you are marching on the road, please tell me quickly.
Four days, if it’s too late, you won’t know!”
Wang Xuan didn't know the specific quality of Annan Bing, but he wasn't too worried anyway.
"Normally speaking, if we want to attack Thang Long Palace, we must capture Nam Dinh City. However, we have to do the opposite, transfer to small and medium-sized boats and go up the river, directly into Thang Long Palace, without giving them any reaction.
Opportunity!"
After Wang Xuan finished explaining his strategy, there was a sudden gasp in the hall. Was it too risky?
Yu Leyou, Qi Xinghui, and Di Haokuo looked at each other. In the end, Di Haokuo was the oldest. He stepped out of the queue and said: "My lord, is this too risky? If we don't capture Nanding City, our rear
The road may be cut off at any time, and if there is any accident, we will be stuck on the Red River. If this happens, the consequences may not be good."
Wang Xuan glanced around the crowd, and seeing that everyone looked a little bad, he knew that everyone thought so, so he snorted and said: "You guys are still blinded by the fixed war situation.
"
Seeing everyone's expressions of confusion, Wang Xuan continued: "Have you ever seen such a large warship before?"
Everyone shook their heads together.
"Just two thousand-ton warships march across the river outside Nanding City. With the crossbows and archers on board, so what if there are 10,000 troops in Nanding City? Can they be attacked?"
How can it be!
Everyone knows this well. With the sophistication of their own equipment, Annan's small boats... can crush them at any move.
"How can they block the Red River if they can't attack it!?"
"As long as the Red River is open, we can fight whenever we want and leave whenever we want. What can the Annan people do to me?"
"Once the gap in war equipment is too big, the initiative of war cannot be controlled by more people. You have to adapt accordingly. As long as we have the best warship in the world in our hands, we can gallop on both sides of the river!"
"Furthermore, Zhu Di can lead his cavalry directly into Nanjing City and dominate the world. How can I, Wang Xuan, be worse than him?"
As soon as the last sentence came out, no one dared to say anything. Even if they were a little worried, they had to suppress it. Otherwise, how could they say that you, Wang Xuan, are not as good as Zhu Di?
Damn it, isn’t it good to be alive?
Once the grand strategy is decided, all that remains is the details.
When an army of 30,000 marches on the river, it is necessary to transfer to medium-sized ships. In addition to the food and baggage, the fleet required is very large. Fortunately, we specially brought flat-bottomed sand boats this time, and it will take another day to sail to Thang Long Province.
time.
This will definitely be discovered by the people in Nanding City. If they report it to Shenglong Mansion quickly, it will take five hours to arrive, and the absolute speed will be faster than Wang Xuan's fleet.
So how to intercept the information and prevent the people in Shenglong Mansion from knowing it is the most important thing for the success of this surprise attack.
Wang Xuan's eyes circled around the crowd, and finally fell on Yu Sheng. The captain of the special operations team immediately stepped out and knelt down on one knee, "I am willing to lead a special operations battalion of two thousand people to intercept Shenglong Mansion."
The passage between it and Nanding City ensures that not a single bird can fly through it."
Since the last time the army was expanded to 50,000, Wang Xuan once again selected a thousand people with the qualifications to practice internal skills to add to the special force. They still practiced the "Blood Burning Kung Fu" he developed. Although the name is low, its effectiveness is
It’s even more of a trap…
Not only will it consume potential, it will also cost ten years of life. This is because Wang Xuan supplies medicinal materials and meat on a large scale. Moreover, he can only cultivate to the top of the third-rate. In total, there is really no promotion value. Only the insane can do it.
Practice.
However, this exercise has a special feature. First, there is no bottleneck and you can smoothly reach the top of the third level. Second, the practice is fast and you can achieve great success within three years. Moreover, this exercise has the effect of body training, although it does not have the golden effect.
It's like a bell-jar iron shirt, with a white mark on it cut by a knife and a white dot on it.
But it was also covered with a layer of cowhide armor, and coupled with the leather armor Wang Xuan gave them, it was not much inferior to ordinary iron armor.
At the very least, bows and arrows used by ordinary soldiers will not be injured as long as the distance is within ten steps. Even if they are injured, most of them are minor injuries.
With this ancient version of a special force, Wang Xuan would be a fool if he didn't use it.
"How come your idea is so beautiful? We need two thousand people, but I still need you!" Wang Xuan glared at Yu Sheng fiercely.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Wang Xuan finished speaking, the other civil and military officials lowered their heads and laughed secretly.
"For a messenger, it's good to have one or two people. I'll give you one hundred and fifty people, in groups of five, on three roads. I'll arrange ten waves of interceptors on each road. Not to mention the messenger, there's no one left alive."
No one is allowed to go there!"
"You make your own arrangements for the candidates. When the army approaches the mouth of the Red River, you will set off in advance to complete the mission. As for you, you have to complete the mission of surprise attack on Shenglong Mansion and open the city gate!"
Yu Sheng's face turned red and he quickly bowed in response.
The army repaired for three days and boarded the ship again to set off. It would take a day and a night to get from Gusu County to the mouth of the Honghe River. Fortunately, Wang Xuan had people collect all the Fujian nautical charts early, so it would not delay the trip.
Before the sun rose on the third day, the fleet arrived outside the mouth of the Red River, where some fishermen from Annan Kingdom could already be seen fishing offshore.
Thinking of the conflict with Annan over the fishing boat issue four hundred years later, Wang Xuan ordered without hesitation that they all be hanged!
At the same time, the first batch of special forces members had already transferred to small boats and headed straight to the mouth of the Red River, but it would still take a long time for the large army to transfer.
Fortunately, the sea is clean and there is no need to worry about leaked information.
After working hard for more than half an hour, the 30,000-strong army was finally transferred to another boat. The fleet set off in a mighty manner at a very fast speed. After all, they were all elite men in the army. They did not feel tired even if they were rowing boats.
An hour later, Nanding City was already in sight. At this time, the soldiers on the city wall of Nanding City could already see the endless fleet of boats on the river. They all stretched out their necks in surprise.
Throughout the 200 years of the Later Li Dynasty, there has never been such a huge fleet. This, this is simply a fantasy, could it be that you are dazzled!?
(I can only update 4,000 words, which is the lowest ever. I can’t stand it anymore!)
(Three days ago, my son had a cold and a fever. The fever reached 40 degrees. My mother and I took care of him for two days. He was fine. Then, my mother fell down with a high fever... I also felt sore all over the next day.
It felt like someone had beaten me with a stick more than a dozen times, and I couldn't lift my arm. In fact, this was my fault. The night before, I thought my body shape must be fine, but I ended up drinking three bottles of beer and a pound of beef in the middle of the night.
As a result, it was over the next day... Today, I, who never had a fever, also had a high fever, 39°, which is really a trap!)
