Military and political affairs were becoming increasingly heavy and tense, with more than ten orders and various letters sent directly from Lin Fu every day, all of which were the responsibilities of Dianshu.

Gao Zongting was good at strategy, but the daily tedious government affairs were on his head, and the pressure was also great. Therefore, Lin Fu transferred Ye Junan, known as Mr. Siming, who was good at government affairs planning, to his side to share the responsibilities of the book.

It can be regarded as officially including Ye Junan, a representative of local forces in eastern Zhejiang, among the core figures in Huaidong.

Ye Jun'an wrote good articles. Lin Fu read the excerpt he had drafted and said: "The setback at Daoxu Port has taught us profound lessons that need to be summarized within the military department. However, Mao Teng died in the war far away and asked the court for credit. It is not appropriate to leave him out."

...Uncle Fu, what do you think?" Lin Fu handed the fold to Fu Qinghe.

Common sense says, "Soldiers are more valuable than more troops." Lin Fu has always adopted the strategy of elite troops.

However, in addition to the use of elite combat forces to attack key battles, with the expansion of Huaidong's control area, a large number of soldiers and horses are also needed to garrison the area.

Lin Fu set up a separate camp army, mixed with water, infantry and cavalry units for garrison purposes, but the investment in armor, ordnance, horses and other resources were inferior to the elite combat power directly under the military command.

Lin Fu actually positioned the marching army as a secondary force between the elite combat forces directly under the jurisdiction of the military department and the labor camp.

This can also ensure that Huaidong can allocate military resources more rationally.

According to Lin Fu's idea, the main responsibility of the camp army is to garrison the place and cooperate with the elite combat forces directly under the military department in important battles. This time, in order to cooperate with Chen Xiyan in transferring Dong Yuan out of northern Zhejiang, Lin Fu was not fully prepared.

Very suddenly, troops were mobilized to fight on the west bank of the Cao'e River.

Neither the elite Changshan Battalion nor the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion had time to mobilize into the preset, so Lin Fu could only let the East Zhejiang Marching Army be the main force of the attack.

In fact, Lin Fu not only prioritized the supply of armor and ordnance for elite combat forces under the direct control of the military department, but also prioritized the integration of outstanding generals into the direct jurisdiction of the military department. The generals of the camp army were somewhat mixed.

Tang Fuguan grew up from the war in East Fujian and was an outstanding general who had always relied on Yu Wangao. Even many of the generals who defected to Huaidong with him from the remnants of the Jian'an Army also had excellent military qualities. After all, they grew up in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

A general cannot be far behind.

Han Caizhi and Chen Kuili were born in the Linli Township camp, and then fought all over the world with the refugee army, and finally surrendered to Huaidong. In the refugee army, their military quality was actually inferior to that of Zhang Gou and Chen Zi, let alone Sun Zhuang.

Liu Miaozhen compared.

Zuo Guangying was originally a local military attache who caught thieves. He was the weakest among the resistance forces in southern Zhejiang. At that time, Huaidong was not favored by Liu Wenzhong and Ye Su could only try his best to win over Zuo Guangying, and Zuo Guangying was able to

He became an important general of the army marching in eastern Zhejiang. In fact, Zuo Guangying's two generals, Li Baidao and Geng Wenfan, attracted Lin Fu's attention and intended to strengthen their training.

Mao Tengyuan was originally a lieutenant in Mingzhou Prefecture who had defected to the She family. It was precisely because of his surrender that the Huaidong Army was able to take over the city of Mingzhou Prefecture without bloodshed last spring. After the war, the meritorious service was also to win over and win the trust of the place.

, Lin Fu listed Mao Tengyuan as one of the four captains, but did not disband his subordinates, and Mao Tengyuan still led him.

Various factors resulted in the fact that even among the troops marching in eastern Zhejiang, Mao Tengyuan's unit had the weakest combat capability.

On the ever-changing battlefield, after Mao Tengyuan defeated the defenders who initially intercepted him, he saw reinforcements rushing in. His will was not firm enough, he hesitated, and failed to decisively deploy his troops and suffered a disastrous defeat. Thinking about it carefully, it is also true that

Not that surprising.

If the responsibility is to be investigated, Lin Fu cannot escape his responsibility. Lin Fu made deployment adjustments based on the positions of the various ministries at that time, without seriously considering the differences in combat power between the various ministries, which was also a lack of consideration.

Mao Tengyuan refused to say anything about his death, and most of the more than 3,000 soldiers did not engage in the battle, so they drove Cao Ejiang away in chaos.

Fortunately, there were warships covering the flanks and the wooden troop transport ships had not gone far. They participated in the search and rescue in time, and the tragedy of more than 3,000 soldiers drowning in the Cao E River was avoided. But even so, more than 600 soldiers were too late to search and rescue, and drowned.

The soldiers who fled to Daoxu Port also killed more than 200 people in the chaos, and the first brigade of the Zhejiang East Camp was almost crippled, which was a pity.

There were many factors responsible for the setback of Daoxu Port, and Lin Fu would not put all the blame on Mao Tengyuan alone; besides, Mao Tengyuan died in this battle, and there was a rule in the world that "it is great to be buried in the grave".

Fu Qinghe took a brief look at Ye Junan's draft and said, "You can't leave out Captain Mao in the plea, otherwise it will chill people's hearts..."

"I'll add it right away..." Ye Junan said. Because he and Mao Tengyuan came from Mingzhou together, in order to avoid suspicion, he deliberately omitted Mao Tengyuan's name from the list of applicants. After all, the setback of Daoxubu was too great.

It looked a bit uglier, and it was difficult to shirk responsibility for Mao Tengyuan. Lin Fu personally asked to add Mao Tengyuan's name, and Ye Junan naturally complied.

Ye Junan took the book to revise, and Lin Fu picked up the chess pieces again and continued to play chess with Fu Qinghe. He also talked distractedly with Fu Qinghe and Gao Zongting: "We were lucky to win this battle. It seems that we will have to win this battle in the future."

Firm determination to deploy elite combat forces on the frontal battlefield..."

"Indeed, if Han Caizhi's troops were blocked from trying to seize the beach at Hutangtou, their first attempt at crossing the river would most likely be in vain," Gao Zongting said.

Lin Fu said: "I plan to make further adjustments to the marching army in eastern Zhejiang - transfer Tang Fuguan to serve as deputy commander of the Chongcheng infantry camp, transfer Chen Zhi and Zhang Jiheng who have entered Kuaiji to his unified command; promote Feng Yan and Huang Zuyu

He will temporarily act as brigade commander for commanding and joining the army, transfer Chen Baidao, Geng Wenfan and their troops to strengthen the combat strength of Feng Yan and Huang Zuyu, each serving as a battalion general, and expand the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion in Kuaiji to the fourth brigade and twenty

Camp, this way I also have an elite combat force that can be directly called upon in the North Camp..."

"Will you make adjustments before this battle?" Fu Qinghe asked.

"The troops gathered by the two young masters of the She family in Kuaiji are not enough to attack me by force," Lin Fu said with a smile. "The troops I gathered in Kuaiji are not enough to attack them by force. Could it be that they still expect me to pull the troops out at this time?"

Going out to fight with them in the field? In the current situation, it is useless to waste money. Can they consume more energy than me? "

"You should be good when you get a bargain," Gao Zongting said. "North of Jinghu Lake, the terrain of Kuaiji is much heavier than that of Xiaoshan. The defenders have stored up to 100,000 shi of military rations in Kuaiji City. The reserves in Xiaoshan should be far less than this.
