After Li Shuheng looked at the map for a long time, he said: "Is this first theater to deal with Beizhili?"
"Yes." Liu Heng did not deny it and said immediately,
"Once the tiger-shaped flag is ready to attack the capital, the first military area must be deployed quickly. Their task is not to capture the capital, but to blockade the border forts along the way, especially important places like Shanhaiguan, so that slaves and thieves cannot pick them up. Get a cheap opportunity." After hearing this explanation, Li Shuheng understood that the pressure on this first theater was probably not light. Once the Tiger Character Banner wanted to attack Beizhili, the first theater would definitely be the one that would bear the greatest pressure.
"The second battle zone is Chen Xunping's first battle division!" Li Shuheng glanced at the location of Shandong.
Liu Heng nodded and said: "Yes, the second war zone will be expanded on the basis of the first war division. However, I plan to include the Tiger Banner's navy in Liaodong into the second war zone. In this way, the second war zone will be expanded." We need to hold back the slave thieves in Liaodong from Lushun and other coastal areas in future wars, so that the slave thieves will not be able to use all their strength to participate in our war with the Ming Dynasty."
"Will Henan also be included in the first theater of war?" Li Shuheng asked. Liu Heng did not answer directly, but said: "The Second Theater is under great pressure. It not only has to face things in Liaodong, but also Nanjing and Huguang. In the future, the use of troops by Beizhili will also require the Second Theater to go north. Therefore, the main target of this military expansion is the second theater."
"How many combat divisions will be expanded in the second theater? How can the combat effectiveness be guaranteed if the troops are expanded on a large scale?" Li Shuheng said worriedly.
Although the First War Zone and the Third War Zone have been combined into one war zone, the main strength is still the former combat division. There is not much loss in combat effectiveness. It only needs to run in each department. When it is the turn of the second combat division, there are not many spare teams. Can fill in new recruits to expand the number of troops.
Liu Heng said: "My idea is to temporarily form two combat divisions. This can not only ensure the stability of Henan and Shandong, but also be able to send a troop of soldiers and horses to Lushun at any time through boarding."
"The backbone of the newly formed combat division can be transferred from the other two theaters. In this case, it can be ensured that the combat effectiveness of the newly formed combat division will not drop significantly." Li Shuheng suggested.
Liu Heng said with a smile: "I think so too, but we still need to study the specific matters."
"By the way, who are you going to hand over the dragoon division to?" Li Shuheng thought that there was another dragoon division in Tiger Character Banner, but the target did not mention which theater it would be placed in.
Liu Hengdao: "The Dragoon Division will not join several combat zones for the time being. After several combat zones are qualified, we will consider which combat zone the Dragoon Division will be placed in."
"It seems that this time I come back, I will be busy again." Li Shuheng rubbed his face with his hands. I thought it would be easier to come to Datong, but with such a big movement in the military department, as the deputy director of the military department, he had no chance to be lazy even if he wanted to.
Hearing this, Liu Heng said with a smile: "Let's work together. Later I will transfer Zhao Yutu back from the grassland. He has been practicing on the grassland for so long, and he comes back just in time to do some logistics work."
"I haven't seen him for a long time since we were separated from the grassland last time. I don't know if he still has the bad habit of being a scholar. I don't know what he thought at the beginning about a scholar who is not even a child. "Li Shuheng joked.
The reason why Zhao Yutu was sent to the grassland back then was because he had always regarded himself as a scholar and valued scholars more, which led to something happening.
The grassland that was said to be punished was actually a kind of protection. Otherwise, if he continued to stay in Shanxi and continued to sit down as chief envoy, Liu Heng might really have Ma Su killed in tears.
Liu Heng said with a smile: "Logistics is his specialty, nothing else. I think there won't be much problem with logistics."
"It's good. It saves trouble to take care of the logistics, so that others won't be fooled by the flattery." Li Shuheng felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhao Yutu taking care of the logistics.
If we really want him to take charge of the official title, I'm afraid the Tiger Character Flag will be occupied by those scholars with little practical knowledge.
"Drink tea. It will cool down soon." Liu Heng reached out and picked up the tea cup in front of him. He was unwilling to say anything more about Zhao Yutu. After all, he was an old man from the Tiger Flag and had not committed any unforgivable crimes. If he really wanted to be cruel to him, it would inevitably make other people uneasy.
The establishment of a theater requires detailed research and arrangements, and joint training is required for formation and theater formation, which takes time.
Therefore, the Tiger Character Flag did not move much. Even if it was water transport, the Tiger Character Flag did not block it, but kept it open to prevent it from irritating the Ming Dynasty too much.
Of course, another reason is that Huang Taiji came to attack Ningjin with his army again, and Tiger Character Banner did not want Huang Taiji to take advantage.
The Ming army in Liaodong also moved with Huang Taiji's personal expedition again. It was obvious that Huang Taiji came to take advantage of the situation this time. Who made Ming Dynasty lose it? The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was almost surrounded by the Tiger Flag.
"It's just bickering and bickering. Nothing has come of it after arguing for so long. Now the slave chief is here, but as for you, there is still nothing." Emperor Chongzhen pulled all the piles of memorials on the table to the ground.
Ever since Dengdeng was captured by the Tiger Flag, the DPRK and the Central Government had been debating whether to abandon Ningyuan. Until Huang Taiji led his army to invade, the DPRK and the Central Government had no outcome to the debate.
Today, in the Ming Dynasty, there is no distinction between right and wrong, only the enemy and the friend. We will support any suggestions made by our own people, even if they are wrong, and we will oppose any suggestions made by our opponents, even if they are right.
It's too easy to make excuses for something. Just open your mouth and say a few words. It's a waste of money.
"Chief Assistant, do you think Ning Jin's troops should be withdrawn?" Chongzhen looked at Chief Assistant Li Biao, who had recently replaced Han Xu.
Li Biao took a step forward and said: "I believe that the top priority right now is to repel the invasion of the slave chiefs. As for whether to give up Ning Jin, we can wait until the army of slave thieves is defeated." Ning Jin consumed a lot of money and food from the Ming Dynasty. If he gave up, , is equivalent to giving up so many years of persistence. Once the consequences are calculated in the future, few people can bear it.
Most of the officials who remain in the court are bureaucrats who do not seek merit but only seek no fault.
"Gao Di asked for money and food again. How to solve the problem of money and food?" Chongzhen picked up a memorial on the table and asked everyone in front of him.
Not long after Sun Chengzong led his troops to drive away the slave thieves, he submitted his resignation again under the impeachment of a large number of officials in the court. His replacement was Gao Di, the governor of Jiliao.
The Minister of Hubu had to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, the Hubu people have no money and food for a long time. If your Majesty wants to solve the problem of money and food in Liaodong, you can only find a way from your Majesty's internal funds."
