I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Dahua is prosperous and prosperous, and other places are full of wars.

In Changsha, Tao Dongcheng's army has already occupied this place, and they have little energy to waste.

Because He Tengjiao knew that whether it was a decisive battle in the plains or defending the city, there was no way to fight against Dahua's army.

In desperation, He Tengjiao had no choice but to abandon the plains and retreated continuously to Huaihua next to Guizhou.

He was going to take advantage of the terrain of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to offset the advantages of the Chinese army.

"Commander, Lu Guangzu from the south has already conquered Nanning and is marching towards Baise."

Some subordinates report the progress of the friendly army. On the one hand, they understand the friendly army and then cooperate. On the other hand, Tao Dongcheng also wanted to enter Kunming before Lu Guangzu.

Everyone wants this credit.

However, Tao Dongcheng's troops faced a relatively unfavorable situation, that is, the enemy they faced was stronger than the enemy Lu Guangzu faced.

Although He Tengjiao suffered heavy losses in Wuhan, the number of his remnants plus the troops from other places was still in the tens of thousands.

In order to deal with He Tengjiao, Tao Dongcheng could only lead the army to advance steadily, and the speed was naturally much slower.

Supplying supplies for 10,000 people and supplying supplies for 60,000 people are completely different concepts.

"If things go on like this, Lu Guangzu will definitely reach Kunming one step ahead of us. Commander, we can't do this again and again. Anyway, we have the advantage of equipment. We only need to send an elite force to drive straight in. There is no need to control one city and one place like now. occupied."

Li Lianfan said.

He wanted to fight for the position of vanguard, and personally led a division to Kunming to capture Zhu Youlang alive.

"Will this risk be too great? How to solve the supply, don't you think the soldiers can bring enough food to Kunming at one time?

If you don't shoot down along the way, how can you let the logistics troops transport supplies and supplies to you with confidence? "

Xiong Rulin asked back.

"You don't need logistical supplies, you can just eat the enemy."

Li Lianfan said.

Everyone knows what he said. One of the things that the army liked most in the past was to feed the enemy, that is, to rob the people of the enemy's territory for food.

This can certainly solve the food problem, but the reputation of the army will stink.

This, Tao Dongcheng and Xiong Rulin disagree.

Dahua attaches great importance to the reputation of the army.

If you dare to attack the people, you will be finished as soon as you are reported.

"We can take a flexible approach. We are not going to grab food, but to buy and borrow. Bring silver taels, you can buy as much as you can, and if you don't have enough money, you will write an IOU to the people, and then commander, after you advance to the local area, pay it back. give them."

Of course Li Lianfan wouldn't go to grab it directly, that's a serious crime.

You can't grab it directly, but you can borrow it forcibly.

As long as they are willing to pay back after the fact, the people will definitely not have any resentment, but will say good things about Dahua.

After all, the only army that can be repaid is the Hua army.

This......

Everyone began to think about the feasibility of Li Lianfan's plan.

Drive straight in with an elite team, without waiting for logistical supplies, the speed will definitely be several times faster than they are now.

Moreover, as Li Lianfan said, they have to push it all the way anyway, conquer all places and bring them into Dahua's rule.

At that time, paying back the food owed will not have much impact on the reputation of the Dahua army.

"However, how can Master Li be sure that the local people must have food in their hands, and what if they don't have it?"

Xiong Rulin continued to ask, exploring the feasibility of this plan.

"It's not very likely. It may be lacking at most, but it's impossible to have all of it. At that time, let the soldiers overcome it a little bit. As long as they capture the city all the way, they will definitely not starve to death."

Of course Li Lianfan knew that there were risks, but in a war, it was impossible not to take any risks.

In his opinion, this kind of risk is controllable, and if it is not possible to rob the people, it will not starve the army to death.

Tao Dongcheng fell into thinking when he heard the words.

Don't look at this suggestion was proposed by Li Lianfan, but if something goes wrong, he can't escape the involvement, after all, it is a decision he agrees to.

Of course, once Li Lianfan invaded Kunming first, he would also get half of the credit, because it was his decision.

After some thought, Tao Dongcheng agreed to this suggestion.

Because he believed that Li Lianfan should not starve all the people of a division to death.

As for whether the lone army will be surrounded and wiped out, he is not worried about this.

With their weapons and equipment, even going deep behind enemy lines is not a big problem.

Tang Guozhen's tribe dared to drive straight into the plains, let alone the mountainous areas in the southwest.

As long as they choose a mountain for defensive operations, Daming will be helpless like a hedgehog.

A plan was made, and they went into action.

The best equipment of the whole army is concentrated in Li Lianfan's 24th Division, and the food is also brought as much as possible, and the weight of each soldier is twice the usual.

If you change to another army, with equipment of this weight on your back, even marching is a problem.

However, the food of the Dahua army is good, and the soldiers have plenty of physical strength, so it is not a big problem.

24 Division set out first, entered from Changde, went to Zhangjiajie, Zunyi, and finished

Section this route, avoid He Tengjiao's army assembled in Huaihua.

Tao Dong’s cost department, on the other hand, will remain in Changsha for the time being, waiting for the next batch of logistical materials to arrive, and then proceeding in an all-round way, while attacking Huaihua, Guilin and other places.

Wherever there is a city, you have to go through it to clear the residual forces of Daming, or clear the local armed forces that do not obey Dahua.

Only by cleaning up those people can those places be completely under the rule of Dahua.

This process is actually quite difficult, at least much more difficult than in the plains.

The plain area is convenient for transportation, and those local snakes do not dare to be arrogant, because Dahua's army can arrive at any time.

This mountainous area is different. Those local snakes, as well as the power of some ethnic minorities, are very stubborn.

They knew that the army of the imperial court could not be stationed in these places, so they often succumbed on the surface, and started to make trouble when Dahua's army left.

Even, they can use their familiarity with the terrain and Dahua to fight guerrillas.

But Tao Dongcheng and the others don't have to do too much, just deal with those who are obviously going to fight against Dahua.

As for how to strengthen the management and governance of these places, this is a matter for the civil servants.

Even, how to manage these multi-ethnic places in the southwest is itself a big issue.

Whether to continue the previous reform of the land and return to the current state, or to adopt a new policy, there is still no conclusion in the court of this Dahua.

There are too many things to take care of.
