Chapter 269: Resolution north

The actions of the Qing army quickly spread to Nanjing.

Nowadays, Nanjing has a lot of spies in the north, and the Qing army can't hide it from them.

Not to mention this kind of preparation for a decisive battle involving hundreds of thousands of troops, every kind of material demand is massive, and it is impossible to hide the inquiries of interested people.

The Qing army wanted to make a big move, and Wu Changqing also convened a high-level meeting to discuss the countermeasures, or the future military plan.

"What do they want to do, do they want to go south, but how should they cross the river?"

Tao Dongcheng asked his doubts, the current navy of the Qing army is not strong, and there is no absolute advantage over the navy of Wu Jun.

Under such circumstances, crossing the river is an extremely dangerous thing. Taking such a risk is just a chance for a decisive battle, and it is not worth it.

However, if you don't cross the river, it doesn't make any sense to build up your troops. It can only waste food and grass, because the North is still in the hands of the Qing army.

Wu Jun didn't assemble his troops to go northward. Whom did they gather their troops to deal with first?

"I'm afraid I want to find a chance to cross the river from a place where our defenses are weak, and then fight to the death with us."

An Fugui guessed.

"This is a bit difficult. With our current intelligence capabilities, we are all clear about their movements. It is impossible to cross the river secretly."

Dai Zhijun said.

"Anyway, this is a good thing for us. As long as we block them across the Yangtze River, it will cost them all."

Several staff members agreed that the Qing army's southward move was a bit reckless, which was very beneficial to them. Just sticking to the Yangtze River is enough to make the Qing army a headache and retreat without a fight.

"No, we have to take the initiative to cross the river and fight them decisively in Jiangbei."

Wu Changqing suddenly spoke.

His words made everyone confused. After all, Jiang Ershou's advantage was so great that there was no need to go to the past and fight the Qing army.

However, after hearing Wu Changqing's decision, some people vaguely guessed a bit in their hearts, but they were not sure.

Old foxes like Hong Chengchou, Ruan Dacheng, and Qian Qianyi are more Ming and Qing in their hearts.

Wu Changqing didn't care whether they understood it or not. In short, he set the tone. Next, there was no need to discuss the benefits of relying on Jiang and Shou. All they had to do was to study where to set the battlefield in the north.

The military has no objections to Wu Changqing's decision, nor dare to have any objections.

In their view, going to the north for a decisive battle is also good, that is, there are many northern plains, and there can be many places suitable for a decisive battle.

And in the decisive battle on the plains, they hadn't been afraid of any army yet.

It is also good to be able to eliminate the enemy in a decisive battle once and for all. According to Jiang Ershou, although he took advantage, he lacked initiative and was time-consuming.

At that time, it will not be easy for the Qing army to cross the river to the south, and it will not be easy for them to cross the river to the north.

"The battlefield can be preset to Yangzhou or Huai'an, which is mainly determined based on the Qing army's speed of action and our army's speed of action. Relatively speaking, Huai'an is better..."

Tao Dongcheng explained to the map that they are going to expedition to the north, and they must go north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Only by water transportation can logistical transportation be guaranteed.

If they were transported by land, they would have to starve to death before they arrived in Beijing, and the amount of food lost on the road would be an astronomical figure.

For transportation on land, a soldier can only be supplied by at least two civilians' non-stop work.

In the same way, the Qing army must go south through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. As long as you wait at an important place on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, you can definitely wait for the arrival of the Qing army.

"Everyone, this is a battle for the national fortunes. The winner will win Kyushu, and the loser will be completely destroyed or safe. I shouldn't need to say more about its importance. Next, let's put aside other tasks and concentrate on Prepare for the war and prepare before the war..."

For the Qing army, this battle may be a battle of national fortune, but for Wu Jun, even if it is defeated, he can actually rely on the Yangtze River's natural insurance to defend and recuperate.

With Nanjing's current wealth, it is not difficult to re-form a new army to rise again.

However, even if there is a way out, Wu Changqing does not want this war to fail. He doesn't like this kind of twists and turns, he likes to win smoothly.

This meeting only set the general direction, and there are many things to be prepared next.

At the end of the meeting, Hong Chengchou, Ruan Dacheng, Li Shaobin, Liu Hansan and other seven or eight core members were left behind, and they wanted to have a deeper meeting.

It is strange that Gu Yanwu was excluded.

This has puzzled many people, but Wu Changqing has never been able to figure out what Wu Changqing does. Therefore, there are not many people who care about this strange appearance.

As for Gu Yanwu, he guessed something vaguely in his heart, he just sighed in his heart, and then went back to do his own job.

His energy now is focused on improving the quality of life of the people, and he is lazy to take care of other things, and he can't take care of it.

Governor's Mansion.

Wu Changqing first arranged for the next person to deliver meals, and then had a meal with a few core ministers. During the meal, he did not talk about official business, but instead chatted a lot of gossip.

At the dinner table, there was a burst of laughter from time to time.

However, everyone's mind was not on these gossips, they just waited for the confidential meeting to be held.

After eating, Wu Changqing retired, and suddenly asked: "This world war is chaotic, and I don't know when it will end."

He said this, Liu Hansan and other soldiers were a little confused, and did not understand why Wu Changqing suddenly lamented this.

But Ruan Dacheng had already understood and said: "Every time the world is in chaos throughout the ages, there must be a hero to stand up to quell the war and save the world. The old dynasty is destroyed, the new dynasty rises, and it is another prosperous reincarnation."

What this means is that now the world is counting on a hero to stand up and save, and everyone does not need to say who this hero is.

Those in the Zhu family are not qualified at all. The change of dynasty is also a historical trend.

What he said is actually saying again, boss, hurry up to rebel and enthrone, everyone is waiting for you to save the world. Rebellion is a historical trend, not a rebellious thing.

When Wu Changqing decided to take the initiative to go north, Ruan Dacheng and Hong Chengchou and others guessed Wu Changqing's mind.

That is to create the illusion of Nanjing's emptiness, to lure Zhu Yihai into action, thereby obtaining a reason for rebellion.

In terms of military affairs, Wu Jun has no big problems to solve Zhu Yihai, Zhu Yujian and others.

However, they still lack a reason for rebelling.

The reason is that this thing is important. Sometimes it is useless and cannot increase the actual combat power. But most of the time, there must be.

Without a proper reason for rebellion, even if he wins the throne, his position is not righteous, and the people of the world cannot be convinced.

In this case, on the one hand, the reputation is not good, and on the other hand, it will also make some careerists feel tempted and have an excuse to do things.

In short, a reason for rebellion is very important. Wu Jun must find a reason for rebellion. If he can't find it, he has to create one artificially.
