When Jay Chou learned the information about Hou Jin, he was a little bit murmuring about it.
Why did Hou Jin spread his forces and conduct military operations against Ming and Goryeo at the same time?
This is very unreasonable.
Because with the current military strength of the Later Jin Dynasty, they have no way to launch a two-front battle at the same time. Even if Goryeo's combat effectiveness is scum, the military leaders of the Later Jin Dynasty are not so stupid.
If this approach is followed, the military forces of Hou Jin should be concentrated together to deal with Ming Dynasty.
Furthermore, the Later Jin Kingdom not only marched on the capitals of Goryeo and Ming Dynasty, but also on Dengzhou of Ming Dynasty.
Is it possible that Hou Jin already had such strong confidence in his own military power?
?Obviously this is unlikely.
So, there is a problem here.
Jay Chou felt a little confused about what was shown in this information.
But he hadn¡¯t figured out what the problem was for a while.
However, now his staff officer also said the same thing, which made Jay Chou curious.
"Oh, tell me what you think."
"Yes, General!", the staff officer straightened his body, responded, and then told Jay Chou some of their staff's inferences about the information shown in this intelligence.
"General, we judge that the military actions of the Later Jin Kingdom are likely to intimidate and suppress the Ming troops in Goryeo and Dengzhou, so that Goryeo cannot harass them, and Dengzhou cannot rescue the capital and send troops to Liaodong. "
Jay Chou's brows slowly relaxed, and he finally understood what he was confused about.
right!
That's it!
In the future, with the military strength of the Jin Kingdom, it will be impossible for them to carry out such a large-scale military operation at the same time.
Unless their leader is an idiot or mentally retarded.
But obviously the leader of the post-Jin Kingdom. It can't be such a person.
Therefore, it is impossible for the army of the Later Jin Dynasty to make such a mistake and carry out two-front or even three-line operations.
You must know that intelligence shows that Liaodong has not yet been occupied by Hou Jin. Although the elite of the Liaodong Army has been lost, there are still a large number of suppressing troops in Liaodong.
If these generals of the army unite, it is not impossible to cut off the retreat of the Hou Jin army approaching the capital of Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Houjin had to be more thoughtful about such things.
at the same time. Goryeo, which is affiliated to the Ming vassal, is also likely to obey the Ming Dynasty's instructions and send troops from Goryeo to suppress and harass Houjin.
After all, in the decades after the rise of the Jin Kingdom, the Koryo Kingdom caused them a lot of trouble.
"If the Hou Jin Kingdom hadn't used troops against Mongolia now, they wouldn't have taken care of the scum of Goryeo, whose combat effectiveness was only 5. Goryeo was about to suffer the iron fist of the Jurchens.
However, in normal history, before Hou Jin entered the Central Plains, he did solve the problem of Goryeo, which relieved Hou Jin from worries, and then he wholeheartedly faced off against the Ming Dynasty.
But now, Hou Jin has not yet conquered Mongolia. So I haven't experienced dealing with the Koreans yet.
Although I don¡¯t have the energy to deal with the Koreans now, I can still scare them.
Houjin didn¡¯t want the Koreans to jump out and cause trouble for him at this time.
In these decades, although the Koreans obeyed the Ming Dynasty's arrangements, they sent troops several times to deal with Hou Jin.
But due to their poor combat effectiveness, every time the Koreans sent out troops, they would basically be beaten up by the Manchus of Houjin, and they would retreat with heavy losses.
Therefore, the Korean people were extremely afraid of Hou Jin.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Huang Taiji formulated this plan. An army composed of old and weak troops was sent to the vicinity of Baiyu City on the border of Koryo to scare the Koryo people.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out to make them think that it was a large-scale invasion by Hou Jin, so that they could not worry about too many things.
The same principle applies to the invasion of Dengzhou.
have to say. Huang Taiji's wishful thinking was really effective.
The staff officers under Jay Chou also came to such an inference after some discussions.
When the staff officer told Jay Chou their conclusions, Jay Chou suddenly understood.
No wonder I felt something was wrong.
It turns out something is wrong.The place is here.
hey-hey!
The Jin Kingdom¡¯s wishful thinking was very good.
Of course, they also formulated such a plan because they knew the character of the Korean people and the thoughts of the high-ranking civil and military officers of the Ming Dynasty.
It can be seen that the people on Hou Jin¡¯s side have a really good grasp of people¡¯s hearts.
It¡¯s just a pity that the people of the Later Jin Dynasty had countless calculations, but they didn¡¯t realize that history had been changed. And at this time, some people appeared who should not have appeared.
"Your judgment should be accurate, so I want to know what we should do next? Although I already have an idea in my mind, I still want to hear what your staff officers think."
The role of the army staff of the Song Empire is basically the same as that of the staff in the modern army.
So even if Jay Chou has some ideas of his own, he still has to listen to what his advisers say in the end.
¡°Besides, Jay Chou also understands the principle of one person calculating shortcomings and two people calculating strengths.
"General, what we mean is to land directly from Dengzhou and organize the army to go from Dengzhou to the capital. Intelligence shows that the Manchu army of the Later Jin Dynasty is outside the capital, with only 50,000 or 60,000. But our army has 20,000 Five thousand soldiers, as well as advanced artillery and muskets, so the gap is not very big."
"So, we believe that as long as the army arrives in the capital, there is more than 90% chance of solving this crisis. So we suggest that the general should adopt this method."
Jay Chou nodded. In fact, the consultant's suggestion was the same as what he thought.
"How can we solve the problem with the Ming officials in Dengzhou?"
Jay Chou thought of a headache.
"Those civil and military officers in Dengzhou must be frightened by the appearance of Hou Jin's army, and they must be hiding in the city behind closed doors. So we don't need to worry about them, as long as the army starts to quickly move toward the capital after landing. Just push forward.¡±
The staff officer gave an easy solution to this problem.
After hearing this, Jay Chou thought about it and felt that the advisor's suggestion was really good.
"Okay. If that's the case, I'll order the fleet to quickly sail to the coastline, and we'll land in Dengzhou!"
"As you command, General!"
The staff officer stood at attention and saluted, then turned and left.
in this era. Hou Jin's cavalry is synonymous with invincibility.
Mongolia, Ming Dynasty, and Korea are all very afraid of it.
"But I'm not afraid. This time I'm going to test your quality to see if you are really that powerful."
I don¡¯t believe it anymore. We have sophisticated artillery and muskets, but we still can¡¯t deal with the Houjin Manchus who are armed with cold weapons?
The Chinese chauvinism in Jay Chou's heart has become rampant again.
?As a Chinese chauvinist. Not only Jay Chou, basically the Chinese people in the Song Empire had some hatred for several races in their hearts.
One of them is the Manchu people of Houjin who claim to be descendants of Jurchens.
Because it was they who brought the regression of civilization and technology to the East, caused great gaps in the originally splendid culture of the East, and even brought ignorance and darkness.
and then. As a result, the East was oppressed by Europe and the people's thoughts were imprisoned. Even in modern times, they have not fully recovered.
Now that he has such an opportunity, how could Jay Chou not feel extremely excited?
As time passed, Jay Chou's orders were conveyed to other battleships.
Immediately, the fleet began to sail towards the Dengzhou coast at full speed.
When all the personnel of the fleet learned that they were about to head to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. And when it is very likely that they will fight the Manchu army, the soldiers' reaction is not fear and panic, but excitement and excitement.
This reaction is completely different from the soldiers of Goryeo and Ming Dynasty.
"General! The fighting spirit of our soldiers is very high now. When everyone heard that we were going to fight the Manchus of Houjin this time, everyone had a high desire to fight."
With the fleet sailing at full speed, it didn't take long for Jay Chou to see the coastline not far away.
At this time, his adjutant came up behind him and reported to him the current status of the soldiers.
Jay Chou nodded: "Okay! Okay! Okay!" He said three good words in a row. "We are so motivated to fight. It is also a good thing for us."¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
"Sir, outside the cityAn army with very strange attire appeared! "
Dengzhou City Headquarters, a garrisoned soldier shouted loudly when he discovered Jay Chou and his army. His expression was very nervous and frightened.
After all, it was the barbaric Manchu army of the Later Jin Kingdom. It is an indisputable fact that it has appeared near Dengzhou.
When he thought of those brutal and terrifying Hou Jin troops, it was normal for the Dengzhou defender to react with some nervousness and fear.
"What! Where is it!"
After hearing the soldier¡¯s loud shouting, the Ming soldiers on the top of the city panicked.
A military attache wearing armor walked over quickly, escorted and surrounded by a group of soldiers.
¡°My lord, it¡¯s right over there!¡±
The soldier raised his finger and pointed forward.
Looking in the direction of the soldier's finger, everyone saw rows of soldiers wearing strange costumes and carrying muskets appearing in their sights.
At the same time, at the rear of an army, there is also a type of artillery that can be pulled by mules and horses.
Gosh!
??Can artillery actually move like this?
And, where did these people come from?
Is it possible that they are the elite of Houjin?
"Sir, what should we do now?" the confidant beside the military general asked with a trembling voice. After all, the army that appeared not far outside the city looked Junrong Shengsheng, well-equipped, and its momentum was very unusual.
"Close the city gate tightly! Tell the prefect and garrison general immediately and ask them to send reinforcements to the east gate!"
Jay Chou¡¯s army shocked the defenders of Dengzhou Prefecture.
However, the defenders of Dengzhou Prefecture could not have imagined that the army that appeared did not launch an attack on Dengzhou City at all, but quickly passed under Dengzhou City and then left
