I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Everyone finally determined the plan of the storm, and the staff could only make suggestions for this plan.

"After we captured Jiujiang, we divided our troops into two routes. One route went south from the west of Poyang Lake to Ji'an and Fuzhou in Nanchang. The other route went south from the east of Poyang Lake and seized Jingdezhen, Shangrao and other places. This treasure land must be mastered. in our hands."

After talking about attacking Jiujiang, Liu Hansan made suggestions on the follow-up plan.

Jiangxi has a very weak sense of existence in later generations. Many people in economically developed places may be confused when they talk about Jiangxi. But that was the result of the rapid development of coastal cities due to the rise of overseas trade.

In fact, from the beginning of the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the early Republic of China, this place in Jiangxi has always been a treasure land. Not only has a large amount of arable land, but also relatively developed water transportation, various rich resources, and profound cultural heritage.

Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu, Yan Shu, Wen Tianxiang, Yan Song......

These celebrities are all from Jiangxi, and the others are not famous in later generations, but there are even more officials holding power at present.

In the Ming Dynasty alone, Jiangxi had two cabinet chiefs.

Jiangxi Academy is the best in the world. Compared with the number of academies alone, Jiangxi can beat any other province.

Wu Changqing was eager to occupy the northern part of Jiangxi, not only because this place was under the control of the Qing court, but more importantly because this place was economically developed and densely populated.

Occupying this place, Wu Changqing's strength can be fully doubled.

"Wouldn't it be too risky to divide the troops into two groups? Although we have a lot of troops, it is not enough to spread them in such a large area. Moreover, we have to leave heavy troops stationed in Jiujiang to prevent the Qing army from counterattacking. "

Dai Zhijun reminded that he was worried that the expansion would be too fast and the army would be understrength.

"Can you ask the general to let us do it cheaply and recruit some auxiliary troops by ourselves."

Dong Tianbao suggested.

According to the rules of Wu Junli, his generals are not allowed to recruit soldiers without permission.

There were battle losses in various ministries, and the soldiers were replenished by the logistics department.

The soldiers who are recruited also need to enter the logistics department first, and the logistics department will dispatch them.

Supplementing soldiers needs to be like this, let alone recruiting new soldiers to expand the army. A division has as many people as there are, and its division commander dares to recruit soldiers privately, not to mention that the problem of military pay cannot be solved.

Once the generals under him have the right to expand their army privately, their strength will become larger and larger, and in the end, it is easy to have a situation where the tail cannot be lost.

Although sometimes it is more convenient for generals to have the power to expand the army, but Wu Changqing would rather be troublesome than give his subordinates this power.

This is the fundamental secret of Wu Changqing's control of the army, and there is no room for negotiation.

"Shut up, don't mention this."

Li Shaobin snorted coldly, and Dong Tianbao suddenly regretted and wanted to slap himself.

His thoughts are still stuck in the past, and he wants to increase his strength by expanding the army.

With the wealth of Jiangxi, as long as you scrape a little money, you can easily double your army. Change to the former general, 100% will do this.

But now, Li Shaobin didn't think about it at all.

He knew that the general's private expansion of the army was Wu Changqing's inverse scale. If he dared to do so, he would be imprisoned in minutes, or he might lose his head.

Li Shaobin thought that he did not have the same talent and prestige as Wu Changqing, and never thought of becoming a king by himself. Now following Wu Changqing, he is very satisfied to be able to command tens of thousands of troops.

"Let's just wait for the general's reinforcements. There are steamboats to transport them, and it won't take much time. Moreover, the newly recruited soldiers are also incompetent. Those who have been trained are more reliable."

Wang Dayong said.

Everyone has not yet won Jiujiang, but they have already begun to plan for the follow-up actions to win Jiujiang. In their eyes, winning Jiujiang is not a problem at all.

When it comes to siege, they have never lost.

In Jiujiang City, many Qing army generals with ugly faces gathered together.

The navy army was defeated, and the Wu army successfully landed, and the army was about to approach the city.

The plans they made in the early stage have all failed, and then they can only rely on their strength to fight head-to-head defense. But the problem is, their strength is far inferior to Wu Jun.

This kind of head-to-head confrontation is obviously in the middle of Wu Jun's arms.

"Let's talk about it, what to do next, can this Jiujiang still be defended, and how?"

Lucked was the first to speak, but after he spoke, there was silence and no one responded.

It's not that they want to be cold, it's that they really can't think of any way to deal with Wu Jun.

"Now that the thief army is huge, it is no longer what we can resist. It is better to withdraw to Wuhan and wait for the army of the imperial court to move south, and then counterattack in one fell swoop."

It was Azali who spoke. When the Wu army came to attack, he was a staunch main fighting faction.

However, after fighting with Wu Jun several times, he was afraid and wanted to avoid fighting with Wu Jun.

"Retreat, it's not easy for us to retreat now. Is it possible to walk back to Wuhan on our legs?"

Gong Adai mocked Azali, the navy in charge of Azali was defeated and almost all the ships were lost.

They don't have enough ships to go back to Wuhan now, so they can only travel by land.

However, there is no big road from Jiujiang to Wuhan. If you insist on going, you can only go to Ruichang, and then climb the mountains to Xianning.

This sheep intestine trail, don't

It was said that they should always worry about Wu Jun chasing them from behind. Even if Wu Jun did not chase them, they might not be able to reach them smoothly.

In some places on those mountain roads, even horses can't pass, let alone those thousands of kilograms of cannons.

Even if they threw away the baggage, they would have to spend a lot of food on this journey. How could they get so much food in the mountains.

In short, they have no way to withdraw now, and they can only withdraw to Nanchang.

However, withdrawing to Nanchang is equivalent to a unique way to survive. Nanchang is either the territory of Emperor Longwu, or the territory of King Lu, and now Wu Changqing is added.

When they entered Nanchang, they were like sheep entering the tiger's mouth, with nowhere to escape.

The direct cause of their situation was the defeat of the navy commanded by Azali.

"It is not feasible to retreat, but we still find a way to stick to Jiujiang and wait for the ships from Wuhan to come and respond."

Luck Dehun said he had sent messengers upriver to tighten the boats. Whether he can hold it or not, he needs the boat to leave a way out.

"We also have to send the general soldier to station in Lianhua Town, guard the throats of Jiujiang and Nanchang, and protect our logistics."

There are ministers who are familiar with the surrounding terrain, and Lotus Town is very important to them.

"We can also recall the soldiers from Nanchang and other places to Jiujiang to increase the strength of our troops."

"No, no, Longwu's troops are already marching towards Fuzhou, and there must be some troops stationed there. If Nanchang is lost, we will be an isolated city here."

......

After discussing for a long time, they didn't discuss any good plan, and in the end they could only defend the city honestly.

This made Luck Dehun feel a little regretful. If he had known that he would just give up Jiangxi and keep his troops in Wuhan, at least he didn't have to be in a dilemma as he is now.
