Zheng Tie turned his head and said to the guard on the side: "Bring the map here."
The guard took out the map from his satchel and handed it to Zheng Tie with both hands.
Zheng Tie took the map, opened it flat and placed it on the table.
"Come, come and take a look!" Zheng Tie waved to several people at the table to come forward.
The map is a map that includes Pi Island and Dengzhou Prefecture. In addition to these two places, Jinzhou Wei, Fuzhou Wei, and the islands along the coast are all clearly marked on it.
Several people gathered around the map on the table.
Zheng Tie pointed with his hand at the location marked Qingniwa on the map, and said: "Our soldiers landed from this position by ship, passed through Qingniwa as quickly as possible, and captured Muchangyi and Nan The Guam front line cuts off the possibility of the slave army in Jinzhou City marching westward to Lushun."
Following the words, his fingers crossed several locations on the map.
Nan Guan Island faces Jinzhou City directly. Once something happens in Nan Guan Island, it will be difficult to hide it from the generals of the slave and bandit garrison in Jinzhou City.
"Our other fleet bypassed Songshu Island, landed directly at Lushunkou, and captured Jinzhou Zhongzuo Qianhu Station. At the same time, the fleet was on guard around Tieshan Island to guard against the possibility of arriving from Dengzhou. Dengzhou Navy." Zheng Tie's finger finally landed on the location of Tieshan Island.
Tieshan Island is located between Dengzhou and Lushun. As long as a fleet is arranged near Tieshan Island, it is difficult for ships from Dengzhou to bypass Tieshan Island and reach Lushun.
Zhao Wu looked at the map on the table and said, "With this arrangement, at least two fleets are needed."
"That's right, in order to capture Port Arthur this time, two fleets will be used. In addition to Zheng Yingzheng's fleet, the other fleet has already stayed in Jeju Island. In the past month, it will transport soldiers from Jeju Island to Pi. Island." Zheng Tie explained.
Zhao Wu pondered for a long time and then said: "If there are two fleets cooperating, it will not be a big problem to capture Lushun. But in this case, the soldiers and horses stationed in Lushun will have to face the slave soldiers of the Jinzhou Guard and the navy of Dengzhou. The Ming army will be attacked from both sides."
"I understand your thinking." Zheng Tie said, "You think that Lushun is hanging out alone, and taking it down will not be worth the loss for our Tiger Flag."
After hearing this, Zhao Wu nodded slightly and said: "If we want to take action against the slave thieves, we can definitely attack Zhenjiang. There is no need to expend so much effort to attack Lushun."
The soldiers and horses on Pi Island are ashore at Tieshan. You can reach Zhenjiang by land. The sea between Pi Island and Tieshan is not wide. Only a few small boats are needed to transport the soldiers and horses from Pi Island to Tieshan. Mountain.
"Haha, what do you think? I'll tell you that Brother Zhao Wu will take advantage of Zhenjiang." Zheng Tie suddenly laughed and looked at his left hand and became Yan Weixin.
Hearing this, Yan Weixin smiled in agreement and said, "You are indeed right. You win. My jar of wine will be yours later."
"I would be disrespectful to refuse." Zheng Tie laughed proudly.
The conversation between the two of them made Zhao Wu look confused and said in confusion: "What are you talking about? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen to it."
"Commander Yan, can you explain?" Zheng Tie said to Yan Weixin.
Yan Weixin nodded, then looked at Zhao Wu and said, "I won't talk about the bet between Commander Zheng and I here. Let's first talk about why we would rather go to all the trouble to capture Lushun than use troops against Zhenjiang."
"I'm really confused." Zhao Wu said.
Yan Weixin pressed a finger on the location marked Lushun on the map and asked, "Zhao Yingzheng, tell me, where is the closest place to Lushun?"
"Of course they are the Jinzhou Guard and the Fuzhou Guard." Zhao Wu blurted out after looking at the map for a while.
After hearing this, Yan Weixin shook his head slightly and said, "If you only look at it from the sea, where do you think it is closest?"
"Dengzhou, Dengzhou and Lushun are across the sea. The reason why the Ming army has been firmly occupying Lushun is that Dengzhou has given the greatest help." Zhao Wu said.
Yan Weixin said with a smile: "Zhao Yingzheng saw this very clearly. After taking Lushun, as long as a naval camp is built in Lushun, Dengzhou will be within our grasp of the Tiger Flag."
"This is called Xiang Zhuang's sword dance with the intention of Pei Gong." Zheng Tie said with a smile.
Zhao Wu, suddenly enlightened, said: "Lushun is indeed more suitable for building a dock than Pidao. As long as there are enough ships, the Dengzhou Navy will not do anything under our noses."
"It's not just the Dengzhou Navy!" Yan Weixin raised his hand and nodded at Dazhigu, and said, "When Dengzhou is captured in the future, the Ming Dynasty's navy in Dazhigu will be completely useless. If you sail offshore, you can’t go out to the open sea at all, let alone go to the ocean to reap the dividends of maritime trade.”
Because Tianjin Wei is the gateway to the capital, it has long been the private residence of the nobles of the capital. If the nobles in the south make profits from sea trade, the nobles in the north also seek benefits from sea trade with the help of Dazhigu.
The huge profits from maritime trade every year did not enter the national treasury, but instead fell into the hands of nobles and gentry.
Zhao Wu looked back and forth at the two locations marked on the map, Lushun and Dengzhou, and said, "So our target is not slave thieves, but Dengzhou?"
"No, the slave thieves are our target as well." Zheng Tie said, "The slave thieves have suffered losses in Jinzhou and have begun to reach out to the grassland this year, so we have to help Lin Dan Khan in the grassland. Come and besiege Wei and rescue Zhao, so that the slave thieves will not dare to send out an army to deal with the tribes on the grassland."
As in history, Huang Taiji saw that he could not enter the Ming Dynasty through Shanhaiguan, so he set his sights on the grassland and persuaded Horqin and other tribes to take action against Lin Dan Khan's Chahar tribe.
Because the Mongolian right wing was basically included in the territory by the Tiger Flag, Lin Dan Khan gave up the idea of attacking the Mongolian right wing after several trials. Once the slave thieves and the Mongolian army attacked the Chahar tribe, Lin Dan Khan had no choice but to flee to Mobei. Road.
The Tiger Character Banner was temporarily unable to take over the entire grassland, so the Military and Political Department decided not to give Huang Taiji a chance to unify the grassland tribes and insisted on limiting the slave thieves to Liaodong, consuming the national power of the fake gold bit by bit.
Without the support of Shanxi merchants and the inability to snatch resources through plunder, the counterfeit gold trapped in Liaodong will only gradually weaken. If a bandit group cannot grab anything, you can imagine what the end result will be.
Even if Huang Taiji wants to change, other people who have long been accustomed to looting to obtain benefits may not be willing to accept this change.
"We are killing two birds with one stone!" Zhao Wu said with a smile.
The Ming Dynasty is the enemy of the Tiger-Charactered Banner, and the pseudo-gold is also the enemy of the Tiger-Charactered Banner.
Many soldiers and officers in the Tiger Banner Army are from Liaodong. Even the lord and several senior officers of the Tiger Banner are also from Liaodong. This also indicates that there is no possibility of peace between the Tiger Banner and the pseudo-gold.
It is impossible for two forces with the same ambition to conquer the world to coexist peacefully.
