When Jiang Quanyi heard Wu Zheng's words, he was shocked and asked anxiously: "Dare you ask the prince... who is the head coach in the city?"

"Zhu Dabi."

Jiang Quanyi was shocked and shook his head and said, "No... I sent someone to reconnaissance in advance. There was no chief general in Huai'an Prefecture. It was always Huai'an. The commanders of the Dahe guards were in charge of the affairs and did not belong to each other..."

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "If it is really as you said, why should I come here in person?"

Only then did Jiang Quanyi realize that he might have been fooled.

But when he thought of this, Jiang Quanyi became even more anxious, "If the enemy deliberately showed the enemy as weak, then Huai'an Mansion must be a trap... The prince should leave quickly and return to Taizhou!"

Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Quanyi squintly and said, "What about you and Taizhou Wei?"

Jiang Quanyi was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said firmly: "Prince forgives his crime, I am humble... I still want to fight! If I retire like this, I am humble and have no face to face the casualties, and I will continue to command the Taizhou Guards."

Wu Zheng sneered and said, "So, I personally arrived and told you to retreat, and you will disobey your life?"

Jiang Quanyi was stunned for a moment, but said stubbornly: "I have reported to the prince before. If I lose this battle, I will die in front of Huai'an City... I hope the prince will fulfill his wish!"

Wu Zheng's face looked like ice and glanced at the generals present, "You are the same as him... want to resist the order?"

The generals then knelt down one after another and said in unison: "I hope the general will fulfill his promise!"

Wu Zheng suddenly laughed, "Since everyone wants to fight... then fight. That's right, if the Northern Expedition Army retreats in a disaster, it's better to leave and go home and farm and go to the kids!"

Jiang Quanyi and the generals looked at each other.

Wu Zheng smiled and said in a deep voice: "But since I have arrived, the command power will be taken back... Jiang Quanyi."

"I am in a humble position."

"Go to the First Battalion and be a commander."

"Yes, obey the order!" Jiang Quanyi responded subconsciously, but then became anxious, "Since the prince knows that Huaian Prefecture is a trap, why do you still take this risk? If the prince is in Taizhou, no, even if he is in Xinghua, he can command or retreat in danger..."

Wu Zheng said seriously: "Dorgon spent his time and set up the game. If it were a few years ago, I would be a little scared of him. But at present, no matter what the game is, as long as we are not in trouble, Dorgon wants to take advantage of it, he has to rely on his ability. The soldiers come to prevent the generals and the water comes to cover the earth. This time, we will fight to the right match, so that Dorgon understands that things that cannot be obtained by conspiracy and intrigue cannot be obtained even if they are not obtained by head-on!"

Jiang Quanyi and the generals responded in unison: "We are willing to follow the general to the death!"

....

The battle was not about Wu Zheng being reckless or acting voluntarily.

If you were so impulsive when you were just bombarded in the military workshop, then even if you were impulsive in the past ten days, you should calm down at this time.

Wu Zheng gradually felt Dorgon's impatience, yes, it was impatience.

It is not that Dorgon's methods are clumsy, but on the contrary, his methods are appropriate, especially in his understanding of human nature, but they are too impatient.

If you have been planning for two or three years, and choose a more suitable time to start, the effect will be very good.

In fact, every subdivision strategy he made is a good move after working hard, but it is often due to impatience and ultimately failed.

Wu Zheng was almost certain of this. Combined with the information in the north, Dorgon thought that there was no more time left.

Although I don’t know what kind of net Dorgon was woven for himself at this time, Wu Zheng had no intention of retreating again this time.

You are a commander. When you are the commander, you can retreat because you are ordered to retreat.

But when you are the King of Wu, you should not retreat again, because that is a passive and lazy battle!

This is about reputation and the hearts of the people.

Wu Zheng was confident that with the strength of the Northern Expedition Army, he would not suffer any loss on any battlefield.

Since Dorgon was anxious to have a decisive battle, why didn’t he accompany him?

This is a contest of momentum. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world.

Never won the world by escaping.

I wanted to get the advantage of the enemy's dispatch of troops from the north thousands of miles away. The Northern Expedition Army still took advantage of it. The farthest mansion of its own is only a thousand miles to the battlefield. What's more, the navy controls the Yangtze River to ensure the smooth flow of supplies, weapons, and soldiers. Why not be afraid of it?

If the enemy wants to fight, then fight!

However, Wu Zheng still felt a little regretful. Once this war begins, the current situation often evolves, and it is often not controlled by manpower, and he will not fulfill his intention to take the initiative to fight the Northern Expedition after everything is ready.

After this big battle, the Northern Expedition Army must have suffered a lot of casualties. Once the strength is too much, I am afraid that it will really be a wedding dress for others and let people take the opportunity to pick peaches.

But Wu Zheng also has no regrets. Since God is destined to do so, it should be regarded as a contribution.

....

Guangxin Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Shangrao City.

Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Liu Tiren and his generals are holding a meeting to discuss.

Although the situation was urgent, everyone's faces were filled with excitement and joy.

The General's Mansion came from an urgent order to form the Third Army of the Northern Expedition and form the Raozhou Guard, with Guangxin, Chuzhou and Raozhou Guards as the team, with a total number of 100,000, including 40,000 Guangxin Guards, and 30,000 Chuzhou and Raozhou Guards.

The commander of the Third Army was Li Guo, Sun Jiaji, Chi Erhan, Gao Yigong, and Liu Tiren was the deputy commander of the commander of each security guard and the following positions remained unchanged. At the same time, Chi Erhan, the former deputy commander of the Duzhou Guard, was transferred to the new Raozhou Guard commander, and Liu Tiren was the deputy commander of the newly-organized Raozhou Guard.

In other words, Guangxinwei can expand from 30,000 to 40,000.

At the same time, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others can also get a share of the newly appointed Raozhou Guard posts. Together, there will be at least 20,000 new posts.

Expansion, from ancient times to the present, has been a good thing for soldiers. This means that the pie has become bigger, the natural interests have also been higher, the official positions have increased, and the number of subordinates has more people, and almost everyone has the opportunity to be promoted. In normal times, if you advance to the first level, you have to fight hard on the battlefield.

But Guangxinwei is not happy because of this.

Does Guangxinwei need to recruit soldiers?

No need at all!

Wu Zheng recruited Zhongzhen Camp. At that time, the total number of soldiers in Zhongzhen Camp reached more than 80,000.

At the beginning, Wu Zheng and Mrs. Gao, Li Guo and others agreed to reorganize 20,000 Guangxinwei, but there were too many people who needed to be eliminated, for fear of causing riots. In the end, in order to appease the Zhongzhen Camp, Guangxinwei was expanded to 30,000 people.

But even so, it almost means one out of three, and most of the former veterans of Zhongzhen Camp were forced to be demobilized and became ordinary people.

Although the demobilized soldiers came to the coastal prefectures, the General's mansion was basically properly placed.
