And in the city of Jiangling a few days later,
"Wait, Zhu Lao San sent his old mother, wife and youngest son to Luyang Pass?"
When Zhou Huaian heard this somewhat abrupt answer, it was inevitable that he had mixed feelings. I really don't know if I should admire this man as a resolute and resolute character, or because of the sense of crisis (the desire to survive) that is inevitable to save the gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain.
"Master!"
The chief Ziyi Yang Shigu is righteous
"According to the purchase and transportation trends sent back from the front, I think that Duguidao will use troops in a short period of time!"
"Use soldiers? Who are you going to do against?"
Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but sighed with a stunned stunned voice; the poor soldiers thought that plundering and eating on others were indeed the most convenient choice for most people in this era. In contrast, in the four battles of the Central Plains, it is not so easy to bury your head and gather population and farm.
As the saying goes, "Hu Tian is flying snow in August." It is now at the end of September, and winter has begun in most areas in the north; in this case, if you use troops, you can only choose the nearest target, and you can harvest relatively short, flat and quick.
On the map, there are just so few forces adjacent to Duguidao in the hinterland of Henan. Like him, on the other side of the Yellow River are Heyang Jun Zhuge Shuang’s Heyang two cities and five counties Hehuai and Wei Erzhou, and to the northeast are Yun Cao Puhua four states under the rule of the Tianping Army Cao Xiang; they are all opposed to Hebei’s three towns in the usual sense. Alliance of military threats.
On the west side are Shanzhou and Guozhou where Wang Chongrong of Jiedu in the Hezhong area is located. Then, after the Jiedu of Xuanwu Jiedu on the east side is destroyed, the rebels and tutuos appointed by the new Daqi Dynasty are guarded by the Hao, Song and Ying. The prefectures serve as a buffer zone with the Wuning Army Jiedushi (Xusi Town), one of the three towns in Huaishan;
And to the south, with the same few rebels and local soil groups, Yinzhou and Chenzhou, which are interlaced and separated, are Caizhou, the core site of the Caizhou thief, Qin Zongquan. Finally, it is the Luyang Pass between Fangcheng Mountain and Funiu Mountain in the southwest, which is the basic boundary between the Taiping Army and the capital of Ruzhou.
It can be said that Luo, Ru, Bian, Xu, Zheng, etc. under the control of Laosan Zhu are all four states surrounded by such a multilateral force. As long as there is any institutional disturbance, it will inevitably affect the whole body. the result of.
Therefore, based on his basic position and interests, he would certainly not be convulsed to fight the Heyang Army or the Tianping Army with substantial alliances; and the danger of occupying the mountains and rivers, Hedong Shengxing and Wang Chongrong, who are in the name of the same camp, cannot be short-term. Internally provoked and resolved goals.
What can be left as a target is relatively limited. The Wuning Army, which crossed the buffer zone of nominally friendly forces to fight Xu Si, under the alliance of the three towns of Huaishang in the fight against Hebei, is not a goal that can be solved in the short term by the existing forces in Dugui Dao.
As for crossing the Yellow River from Zhengzhou and pretending to go to Weizhou to attack the Wei Bojun site on the north bank, it would be even more difficult. Even the Taiping Army has just sent my wife, wife and children over here, definitely not for the opportunity to say "get me a piece of the pie" in the future.
So in the end, it can be used as the most suitable target for hands-on, and it will naturally appear on the map and sand table. That was the infamous five-generation ogre king on another historical line, who almost eroded Qin Zongquan, the leader of Caizhou thieves in the Great Central Plains and Huainan area.
Moreover, as a three-surnamed domestic slave force second only to Liu Hanhong in Huaixi, he was actually the most unwelcome existence among the imperial officials, the towns and the rebels. Especially now that the Huaixi Liu Hanhong forces, who are faintly echoing, are suffering from the plague and there is no time for him to take care of him.
Although today's Caizhou Army looks stern and vigorous, it has travelled eastward all the way to Ying, Su, Si, Hai and other states along the Huaihe River, and it is almost unstoppable. But once it is hit, it can be said that it is easy to be isolated and helpless, and even to the three towns of Huai Shang that are known for their hatred.
Immediately Zhou Huaian made a decision:
"Let the fifth group of the staff and the sixth group of the military department, each come up with a corresponding analysis of the current situation of the Duguidao and Caizhou Army intelligence, and the deductions and countermeasures of the surrounding events that may occur... By the way, ask the staff room again. Come up with a follow-up linkage assessment document for adjusting the arms sales quota within the customs and for additional assistance."
"In addition, since everyone has delivered it, there is no reason to refuse to go out. When I look back, I will treat Zhu San’s mother, wife and children well in the name of Zhu (Cun) Zhonglang... I will try my best to meet any requirements in life. That's it."
At this time, another rush of military sentiment came. Zhou Huai'an was slightly surprised after taking a look:
"It turned out that it was Kong Liluo's path, the special teacher who specializes in restraining harassment at the coastal estuary of Huainan Road. He has recently suffered a defeat and has retreated to the north shore of Gaoyou and reorganized..."
Then Zhou Huaian carefully read the following again before continuing:
"But Liu Hanhong's troops in Huaixi and the Caizhou Army in Shanyang City openly merged?"
"If this is the case, wouldn't Taiping Teachers also have more reasons to attack the Qin and Liu families?"
Yang Shigu also reacted and said:
"But isn't this the value of such a handy teacher?"
Zhou Huaian immediately confronted the guard on the side to join the military route:
"According to my order, Li Cuan, the deputy envoy of the Jiangdong Rehabilitation Department, finds a way to raise another 5,000 people's food and equipment, and transfer them north through the Zhou teacher in Caohe... Then send a letter to Kong Liluo, and allow him to expand on the spot. The auxiliary forces of the five battalions, no matter what means they use to attract and contain the enemy in Sanyang, the priority..."
"Then do you want to use the patrol water camp on the east coast of the Yangtze River for support and support?"
Yang Shigu asked again:
"I won't move for the time being, and I still expect them to clean up the remnants of the islands along the coast, and to ensure smooth navigation between the north and the south!"
Zhou Huaian shook his head and said:
"However, with the pacification of the Jiangbei states, the waterways along the Yangtze River can no longer use so many armed patrols. It happened to be from the Fifth Army to transfer two and three water camps to the north and enter the Huaishui River, waiting for opportunities to intercept and sink everything upstream. The boat crossing the water... During this period, I can only hope that he can hold on for a little longer..."
Speaking of the Taiping Army’s vast territory today, in addition to the Huainan Raiders that are helping step by step, there are actually several places that are also continuing to use troops in a piecemeal style, but they can only be considered small compared to the scale of Huainan. It's noisy.
For example, the prefectures of the Qianzhong Road that have been in disguise before, and the brute forces along the way to the ancient tea-horse roads in the southwest, need to be pulled and fought steadily to disintegrate; they are slowly incorporated into the Taiping Army. The local order and economic circulation links dominated.
Then Yuzhou, in the upper reaches of the Xiajiang Road, is also using troops. However, it was not a battle with the Xichuan army in the northwest, but a battle and training with local barbarians in Luzhou and Rongzhou. Therefore, they are usually not under the banner of the Taiping Army, but in the name of a "businessman's righteous follower" hired by one of them, secretly promoting tribal wars against those Chishui, Qushui and Mianshui.
The main purpose is to cooperate with the economic blockade attacks, thereby weakening and splitting those local barbarians and Shanyi tribes that were once inclined to the imperial camp, and even the Taiping Army is facing hostile countries. At least to make sure that when the Taiping Army rejuvenates its troops and marches westward, these locally wounded local Tu people will still not be a hindrance and restraint of harassment.
In addition, after the Jiangdong Third Road was roughly settled, a large number of defeated soldiers and bandits were driven down and flowed into the mountains at the junction of Jiangxi and Fujian, and even the local mountains, Ha, and the barbarians merged together; the same is true. It takes a long period of time to gradually block and crack the water mill to clean up more thoroughly.
Although these places are not worth mentioning frontal battlefields, and are not suitable for large-scale, organized military use, they also require a real time period and patience, and even human and material resources for organizational efficiency and policy implementation determination. The medium and long-term planning that can be effective.
Thinking of this, Zhou Huaian said to another duty officer:
"Send me to the territory of Anzhou (now Anlu City, Anhui Province), and ask Su Wuming where they have gone?"
"promise"
Following the order of the Yuhou, Zhou Huaian glanced at Lu Yan who was in charge of the writing and recording of the book, and suddenly asked:
"Dong Bin, that Gao Bohai, how is it going to be in the Gongde Forest?"
"Going back to the Lord, according to the daily routine report, this Gao Gong looks healthy and good at spirit. In addition to the routine oral notes, he has begun to practice the so-called Taoism again, and he asked whether he could Get some diamond medicine..."
Lu Yan hurriedly stopped writing for a moment and replied:
"It seems that this person is still idle! Then from tomorrow, we will arrange for him to go to various places to tour (be exhibited), and then write a review of his experience every day..."
Zhou Huaian seemed to feel:
This busy schedule is a bit overtime. Even the snacks for supper and snacks are spent in the public affairs hall. And when Zhou Huai'an finally transferred to the back house, it was already shrouded in the night of shimmering lights. But tonight is the day of night talk in bed every ten days. Those in the family are either charming and charming, or gentle and elegant, or cold and pleasant, or elegant and quiet, or pure and sweet. The big and small women have already gathered together. Let's entertain each other.
"What is this?"
However, the small pendant soon discovered an antique scroll brought by Zhou Huaian, and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"This is the "Titan Demon Dance Illustrated Record" presented by a Tantric monk from the Qinglong Temple in Chang'an. It is said to be based on the allusion that the demon kings sent the demon goddess to the evil way and chaos when the Buddha gained the way."
Zhou Huaian's face was not red and heart beats and wrote:
"Then, do you expect people to wear nothing, just bring these bells, armbands, and golden crowns?"
Then the graceful girl looked at the scroll that had been unintentionally torn apart, and her face was faintly dizzy and spit:
"This is actually a high-level practice derived from the essence of ancient Buddhism. It is the famous Buddhist school of Tianzhu Buddhism (Xingli school). It is the right way to communicate with the heavens and the people... Ah"
Zhou Huai'an coveted his face confidently in the expression of "I believe you will have ghosts" and eyes that inevitably contain contempt, helplessness, and dislike: (End of this chapter)
