Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

"If the reinforcements don't support Datong for the time being, then Datong needs to be held for at least 20 days."

In the tent of the emperor, after listening to the report of the military aircraft staff of the General Staff, Li Xiu looked around on the sand table, and then asked, "Can Datong hold up?"

"In Datong City, there are Datong avant-garde, Datong left guard, Datong right guard, and an artillery battalion directly under the Datong General Military Mansion. The recorded strength is 9,856 people. It shows that there is no discrepancy between the actual military strength of Datong and the records in the Yellow Book of Military Registration."

"The rating of the actual combat exercise has also reached the second-class level. In the case of sufficient food, grass and ordnance, as long as the main general does not make strategic mistakes and supports it for a month, the problem may be less than eleven!"

After listening to the report of the military aircraft staff officer, Li Xiu immediately took over the inspection and rating results of Datong from the military aircraft staff officer. , there is still a set of leading troops to fight, and there is little possibility of problems, this order is decided as such."

"According to the order!"

The military aircraft staff immediately led the way.

As for Li Xiu, his eyes were still focused on the sand table of the military terrain here.

"How many troops can be mobilized on the three sides of Shaanxi?"

In the end, Li Xiu turned his eyes, fixed on the three sides of Shaanxi, and asked again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the total number of soldiers recorded in the Yellow Book of the Shaanxi Trilateral Military Register is 145,869. Excluding the soldiers who guarded the important places according to the predetermined plan, a maximum of 50,000 soldiers can be dispatched. If there are more, It will destroy the stability of Shaanxi and cause the emptiness of defense."

"According to the No. 5 forecast, if the enemy attacks Datong, after your Majesty leads the main force to take the town, the three sides of Shaanxi will send iron cavalry north into the grasslands, plough the courtyard to sweep the caves, threaten the enemy's rear, and destroy Lin Danhan and Daishan's army in Monan Mongolia. The foundation of domination."

"In this way, we can continue to maintain the stability of the military camps of the Shaanxi Guards, and the elite iron cavalry will enter the grasslands to attack the enemy's rear, and there will be no need for too much food supply, which is taken from the enemy and used by the enemy."

"When necessary, you can also go around and cooperate with the main force to fight the enemy,"

"The day I sent the order to the three sides of Shaanxi, and the day I led the main force to Datong, was the time when the three sides of Shaanxi were stepping on the grassland in the north to plow the courtyard and sweeping the caves. I told Zhou Yuji that when I left the grassland in the north, wherever the soldiers reached, they were all enemies and bandits!"

"According to the order!"

Another military staff officer led the way.

Li Xiu was still standing in front of the sand table. While listening to the report of the military aircraft staff, he also issued a series of military orders, mobilizing the military forces of the entire northern Xinjiang to move for this battle.

Until everything was deployed, Li Xiuzhi's eyes were still fixed on this military sand table that included the frontier.

In fact, as far as the military strength of the eight border towns other than Shanhai Denglai is concerned, it is undoubtedly far superior to the Mongolian Houjin Allied Forces. If the eight border towns, plus the Beijing army banned army, are fully mobilized, an army of 600,000 to 700,000 troops is also available. is a breeze.

But obviously, it is impossible to concentrate all the forces.

Every important place needs to be guarded by troops, and the internal situation also needs to be stabilized by garrisoned troops.

Moreover, war is fought with financial resources!

Today's Daheng does not have enough financial resources to support the mobilization of such a large-scale military force, and even, as far as Daheng's treasury is concerned, it has no ability to start this war at all.

The food, salaries and materials for this war were all taken by Li Xiu from the Qianzhuang merchant group early under his precaution.

Today, the bank business group is undoubtedly in an extremely critical period.

Today’s civil strife is obviously not military and political, but the economy and people’s livelihood are naturally greatly affected, especially the economy and people’s livelihood. When the court is short of money, it is impossible to intervene. The group maintains the stability of the economy and people's livelihood in the market and avoids further expansion of erosion.

Under such circumstances, although the Qianzhuang business group has become a giant, in fact, there is no spare capacity to support this war.

The 300,000-strong army, the food and supplies for three months of fighting, is already the limit that can be drawn.

But it is obviously a difficult thing to control this battle to end within three months.

It is precisely because of this that after he ascended the throne, he started to attack the former Ming clan to plunder the wealth of the former Ming clan to make up for the financial embarrassment that Daheng is now unable to uncover.

But even so, in this battle, most of the troops in the important frontier towns cannot be moved without authorization. Not long after the preliminary completion of the military reform, they are still in a state of ruin, just like the once abandoned and rotten garrison. , After the military reform, the military colony of the Weisuo was also reshaped.

Li Xiu also placed great hope on this. After all, no matter how the military colony system of the guards will evolve in the future, at least for now, under the extremely embarrassing financial pressure, the formed guardhouse can guarantee the Northeast. There are more than 200 guards in Xinjiang, which do not need the support of the imperial court. While stabilizing the place, there is even more power to feed the imperial court.

Just like the military camps of the Shaanxi Guards, this autumn harvest, on the premise of supporting the Shaanxi Guards, even saved an extremely considerable amount of food and grass.

Today, natural disasters continue to occur in Shaanxi, but there has not been much civil unrest. This surplus of food and forage has undoubtedly played a great role.

The northern provinces basically follow the model of Shaanxi. With the particularity of military colonies, their ability to withstand natural disasters is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people.

Even if there is a natural disaster, under the maintenance of discipline, the harvest of the military can still be guaranteed. The only difference~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is the amount of harvest.

In addition, the surplus military food is used to feed the people's livelihood under the natural disaster, coupled with the suppression of food prices in the market by the Qianzhuang business group under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the ruling class that is gradually moving towards an efficient operation under the conditions of waste and waiting in various places. Under the great chaos of China, the shattered local interest strata, with such a multi-pronged approach, barely suppressed the endless civil turmoil in the north under the endless natural disasters.

Under such a heavy responsibility, the various guards in the northern border are naturally not a last resort. If they can move, try to move as far as possible.

In this way, the troops that can be used in this battle are obviously far less than the Lin Danhan and Houjin coalition forces who kowtowed this time.

Obviously, as always, this is another war at a disadvantage.

The size of the army, the stability of the rear, the supply of food and grass...

Everything is at a disadvantage.

"call…"

As his thoughts flowed, Li Xiu also let out a long sigh.

This... should be the last time.

After this battle is over, this battle is won, and in the future, this will not be the case.

This hellish endless vicious circle should end here. He, Li Xiu, his Daheng, should also fight the battle of prosperity in the future!
