According to the discussions at the military conference, the conference decided to kill the fragmented Jiangnan Kingdom regime in three directions.
Su Yonglin himself is on the same side. He will lead the First Division of the Huben Imperial Guard and the former Yanyun Corps and the current First Division of the Fourth Corps to fight south.
The original Henan Corps and the current First Corps are all the same.
There is also the former Jiangxi Corps, now the Seventh Corps, which is the last road.
Currently, the headquarters of the First Corps is located in Jianglingfu, and Zhang Yuejing is stationed in the Jianglingfu area. He was previously responsible for carrying out some small-scale military security operations to restore local stability, and assisting the Renaissance organization in combating powerful landlords and mountain bandits.
In the eight years since Hongwu, Zhang Yuejing's mission has been basically completed, it has entered a period of comprehensive reorganization, and it can enter a state of war at any time.
The headquarters of the Seventh Corps is Nanchang Prefecture. Zhao Yucheng is stationed in the Nanchang Prefecture area. He leads the Seventh Corps to do the same thing. He crosses the mountains and ridges to eliminate bandits and bandits, eliminates the landlords and powerful landlords, and helps the farmers live and work in peace and contentment, etc.
Hongwu has almost completed its local security tasks in the past eight years. It has recently entered a period of comprehensive rectification and can enter a state of war at any time.
Therefore, based on the garrison situation in various aspects, the staff headquarters formulated a detailed combat plan.
The First Corps under the command of Zhang Yuejing should use no less than two armies to launch an attack on the southern part of Jinghu South Road and the entire Guangnan West Road. The goal is to completely occupy this area and complete the official and local separatist armed forces of the Southern Song Dynasty in this area. a comprehensive attack.
The Seventh Corps under the command of Zhao Yucheng has two tasks. One is to detach an army to attack eastward and coordinate with Su Yonglin's attack to attack the Song Army in the east of the Yangtze River from both sides. The other is to use the remaining troops to attack southward and comprehensively conquer Guangnan. East Road.
The rest is Su Yonglin's business.
He will lead the 10,000 cavalry of the 1st Division of the Huben Guards, 30,000 infantry of the 10th Army of the 4th Corps, and the 5,000 men of the 2nd Battalion of Shenji, which has just been expeditedly formed, for a total of 45,000 troops. Head south to the south of the Yangtze River, where they will join the 30,000 men of the 21st Army of the Seventh Corps, for a total of 75,000 troops.
These 75,000 men have the heaviest task, because they need to complete the capture of Jiangnan East Road, Liangzhe West Road, Liangzhe East Road, and Fujian Road. The entire core area of the Southern Song Dynasty is Su Yonglin's strategy. The task, it can be said that the task is quite "arduous".
Of course, without Zhang Shi, the world's number one Infernal Affairs, this would indeed be a difficult task.
But when Zhang Shi joined the operation, the task suddenly became "difficult".
According to the information currently available from the Skynet Army, Zhang Shi is gaining the trust of Shen Gai and some bureaucrats through a series of actions.
Based on the 20,000 troops he originally controlled, Shen Gai was prepared to entrust him with the military power in Hangzhou and let him guard Hangzhou to buy time for those who wanted to escape.
His original 20,000 people, plus the 10,000 people under Shen Gai's command, equaled 30,000 people.
In other words, there are currently only 20,000 people under Zhou Linzhi's control who are not under Zhang Shi's influence. If the problem of these 20,000 people can be solved, Su Yonglin will face an army that does not have an organized regular army to conduct defensive operations. Enemy.
In other words, his army of 75,000 became an army of 100,000 in minutes.
And Zhang Shi's plan goes beyond that.
He also seems to plan to control the city of Hangzhou through the army he controls. Once he finds out that the bureaucrats of the Hangzhou court are trying to enrich themselves, he will launch a mutiny to control Hangzhou, control all the bureaucrats of the Hangzhou court, and wait for the Ming army to go south to receive this group of scraps.
In this way, Su Yonglin felt that he was not going south to fight, but instead going south to receive goods.
This group of scraps itself is only worth killing and fertilizing, but they have plundered countless people's wealth and money during their years as officials, which is an astronomical amount of wealth. Zhang Shi's goal is to prevent them from taking away even a penny of the money they have plundered.
All of them must accept the public trial of the Ming Dynasty. No one shall be spared the execution, the exile, or the labor reform.
Zhang Shi is indeed a good comrade!
Su Yonglin praised secretly.
If this is really possible, Zhang Shi can at least get the top three credits in the battle to destroy the Song Dynasty, and then it will not be a problem to arrange a real power official position for him in the Ming court.
But then again, even if the Hangzhou court could perfectly control the 50,000-strong army that "loved the Song Dynasty", could it really block Su Yonglin's military front?
The answer is of course no.
The combat effectiveness of the Ming Army and that of the Song Army are no longer on the same level. The Ming Army's biggest enemy is no longer the Song Army, but nature.
Therefore, this war is not only to destroy the remaining military power of the Hangzhou court, but also to destroy the deep-rooted landlords, gentry and their relationship networks in the Jiangnan land on a large scale and systematically, destroy everything, and launch a simple and thorough revolution and liquidation.
Therefore, what Zhang Shi did was really important. If we really let those scraps go abroad, they might come back and cause harm to the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Su Yonglin also approved Zhang Shi's plan to request the Ming Dynasty Navy to assist, and ordered the Donghai Navy stationed in Quanzhou to fully cooperate with Zhang Shi, block the coastal routes, and strive to remove the bureaucrats, their families, and the people who were trying to escape. Take them all.
The Ming Dynasty's dragnet has almost been woven, but under such a terrifying deterrent, the Hangzhou court was content in the information cocoon that Zhang Shi had woven for them.
After Zhang Shi became famous, he won the support and admiration of many people, and his power increased greatly.
In order to delay the departure of these guys and buy time for himself to make many arrangements, Zhang Shi asked Su Changsheng to fully mobilize the intelligence network he had been running for many years and weave an information cocoon for the Hangzhou court.
To put it in more common terms, they blinded Shen Gai, Zhou Linzhi and others, and then concealed the project from others, making the Hangzhou court think that the Ming Dynasty's project was successful, but it was not completely successful.
Because news of the success of the project had reached Hangzhou, it caused great panic among Hangzhou bureaucrats, and quite a few people had already accelerated their escape plans.
Zhang Shi hopes that Su Changsheng can help him spread some news, explaining that the country's project seems to be successful, but it is not completely successful. There are still many problems that need to be dealt with. It is far from possible that the southward movement will be that fast. There is currently no sign of the Ming army moving southward. .
What can delay it is some time. Zhang Shi needs enough time to coordinate the thoughtful army and his own army.
More importantly, he wanted to make sure that he could obtain the military power of Hangzhou City.
