Beijing, Forbidden City.

Dorgon was in the Qing Dynasty to entertain more than a dozen Mongolian princes who had just arrived in Beijing. This time, Dorgon mobilized the Mongolian cavalry at an unprecedented level. At that time, the total population of various Mongolian departments was about one million, and there were about 300,000 armoured cavalry. Dorgon summoned 180,000 cavalry at one time!

Among them, the Korqin tribe, which had a good relationship with Jiannu, dispatched all 100,000 cavalrymen.

Dorgon knew very well what this battle meant to Jiannu. If this battle was defeated, the Mongolian general would definitely become independent, and even the Korqin tribes would betray Jiannu without hesitation. The loyalty of the Mongolian tribes to Jiannu was based on the strength of the Jiannu Eight Banners. Once the Jiannu Eight Banners are no longer strong, they will definitely not surrender to Jiannu.

So if this battle is defeated, it will be the last time that Jiannu enslaved the Mongols. Of course, he has to use it to death. Winning is a good thing, but he can continue to enslave the Mongols. If he loses, the Mongols will almost be seriously injured. Even if they turn to the Ming Dynasty in the future, they will never pose any threat to Jiannu.

In Jiannu's bones, the Mongols were actually slaves. This is evident in history. When Jiannu just conquered Mongolia, there was a population of nearly two million and nearly four hundred thousand armoured cavalry. However, after Jiannu entered the Central Plains, there were only less than one hundred thousand Mongolian cavalry left.

In addition, Dorgon once again recruited bannermen over 16 years old and under 60 years old, leaving behind to station in Shengjing. The five thousand elite soldiers of Zhengbai Banner who were originally stationed in Shengjing rushed to Beijing overnight, and the total strength of the eight banners of Jiannu was restored to 60,000! In addition, 180,000 Mongolian cavalry, that is the 240,000 cavalry army.

Dorgon raised the wine cup and shouted: "Dear Princes Batulu, this time we have enough food and grass. The food stored in Beijing is enough for more than 200,000 troops to eat for more than a year! Don't worry about the horse's forage. The Central Plains of Guangmao is the most fertile pasture for the Mongolian warriors!"

"The last time in Liaocheng, we sent troops in a hurry. There were Jiang Xiang, Wang Chengyin, Tang Tong and other former Ming surrendered generals in the back, but this time, we have made sufficient preparations this time, and the rear is stable, and there are no Jiang Xiang, Wang Chengyin, Tang Tong and others to drag us back!"

"Everyone, although Wang Pu's Central Army is powerful, it is not without weaknesses! The weakness of the Ming army is that its mobility is too poor, the movement speed of the artillery team is particularly slow, and the musket team and artillery team are very dependent on logistics. Once the ammunition is exhausted, it will become a lamb to be slaughtered and vulnerable!"

"Our army has more than 200,000 cavalry, and its maneuverability is far superior to that of the Ming army. Therefore, the key to this battle is to give full play to the maneuverability of our cavalry, first cut off the Ming army's canal channel, and then surround the Ming army and annihilate it!"

Prince Darhan Batulu Manzhu Xili asked, "Master, the Ming army has a navy, and it is difficult to intercept the canal sailing and the river."

The other Mongolian princes nodded one after another. The scene of the battle at the beginning of the year was still vaguely in front of us. At that time, the canal surface was even frozen. However, not only did Jiannu fail to cut off the channel, he even paid 40,000 yuan for the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of the Korean Army. In addition, there were 5,000 Jiannu archers who also became living targets for the Ming army's musket team!

"Otherwise." Dorgon waved his hand and said loudly, "If Jiang Xiang and the others had dragged their backs last time, the canal channel would have been cut off by us. The Ming army's tricks could only be used once, and it would not be possible to use them again for the second time. In short, I have already had a complete plan. If the Ming army dares to come this time, I will teach them not to go back alive!

"Come on!" Dorgon stood up, raised his wine cup and said loudly, "Everyone, for the upcoming victory, I drank this wine for Longxing of the Qing Dynasty, and drank it!"

"drink!"

"drink!"

"drink!"

More than a dozen Mongolian princes stood up one after another, raised a wine cup to Dorgon, and then drank it all in one go.

Nanjing, the Governor General Headquarters.

Wang Pu has participated in the military parade of the newly compiled CSKA 10th Musket Battalion. The 200 graduates from Nanjing Army Officers University have all been enriched to the 10th Battalion and the 2nd Battalion as intern squadron captains. More than a dozen graduates were forced to stay in the command center by Wang Pu to serve as staff officers. Zheng Chenggong, who was only 20 years old, was also among them.

The CSKA organization has not changed, and the highest system is still the battalion, infantry battalion, cavalry battalion, long spear battalion, and logistics battalion. It has five posts under its jurisdiction, and each post has five brigades under its jurisdiction, and each brigade has five squadrons under its jurisdiction, and each squadron has five squadrons under its jurisdiction, and each squadron has eight people in total.

The organization of the artillery battalion has changed, with the number of people increasing from 500 to 1,000, the red cannon equipped with increased from twenty to fifty, and the rapid-fire Folang machine cannon has also increased from forty to one hundred. In terms of firepower alone, one artillery battalion is stronger than the original two artillery battalions.

At this time, the Central Army had a total of 160,000 troops, of which 30,000 were stationed in Wuchang, 5,000 in Jining, and the remaining 125,000 people, a total of 25 battalions were stationed in Yanziji camp. There were only two musket battalions in the twenty-five battalions, and there were ten baggage battalions and thirteen long spear battalions, plus one artillery battalion.

There are so few musket battalions because the production speed of the arsenal is too slow! If the guns are sufficient, the soldiers of the long gun battalion and the baggage battalion can be replaced into musket battalion at any time. During normal training, the long gun battalion and the baggage battalion are usually trained according to the standards of the musket battalion, and the normal shooting training is all live ammunition.

In the Governor's headquarters, Wang Pu specially set up a house as a war room, and the staff department was next to the war room.

In the huge war room, Wang Pu and Zheng Chenggong and more than a dozen other staff members stood around a long table, with a huge military topographic map spreading on it. This map covers the mountains, rivers and rivers of the five provinces of Beizhi, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and Nanzhi. It can be found on the map as small as the county town.

However, Wang Pu didn't have time to conduct a careful survey of the rivers and mountains of the motherland, so this map could only be a rough outline, with severe distortion of the proportions and the location of the mountains, rivers and rivers were not accurate. If you follow the map carefully, the actual distance and the distance on the map might be hundreds of miles apart!

"Report!"

A graceful figure suddenly appeared outside the combat room, but it was Liu Rushi, who was wearing military uniform and heroic.

"Come in!"

Wang Pu turned around and looked at Liu Rushi and introduced to Zheng Chenggong and more than a dozen staff officers, "This is your chief of staff!"

"Bang!"

Zheng Chenggong and more than a dozen staff members kicked the ground with their right leg at the same time and saluted Liu Rushi.

Liu Rushi also replied with a military salute without any ambiguity. This girl had just been training in the military camp for several months and looked like a regular soldier.

"You're coming just right." Wang Pu smiled at Liu Rushi and said, "Tell me about your combat plan."

Liu Rushi nodded and said, "Before the Zhazhang described the combat plan, Beizhi thought it was necessary to determine Jiannu's intention first."

"Yes." Wang Pu nodded, "Tell me, what do you think Jiannu's intention is?"

Liu Rushi said: "I thought Jiannu's intention was to seek a decisive battle with our Central Army."

Wang Pu asked, "What's the reason?"

Liu Rushi said: "Jiannu believed that he was invincible in the field and was unwilling to attack one city after another unless he had no choice. If he really had such a fighting style, with Jiannu's pitiful military force, he would probably have suffered all casualties within half a year! Therefore, the way Jiannu hoped for the most is undoubtedly a decisive battle with our Central Army. As long as we defeat the Central Army, our Ming general will have no army to compete with it, and the fall of the great mountains will inevitably be inevitable."

Wang Pu nodded gently, Liu Rushi's analysis was reasonable. It is always the best choice to achieve his merits in one battle. This is true for Jiannu and the Ming army!

Liu Rushi continued: "After judging Jiannu's combat intention, it is certain that Jiannu will inevitably attack Jining, adopt the tactic of siege but not fighting to lure our Central Army to north to rescue, and then fight the decisive battle with our Central Army in Jining!"

Wang Pu nodded again, and he also thought that Jiannu would definitely attack Jining, where Scarface was stationed.

Liu Rushi said again: "The combat plan of Beiyi is like this. First, use the main force of the Central Army to attract the main force of Jiannu in Jining to form a confrontation, and then find a way to get rid of Jiannu's war horses and make them lose their motivation. Finally, use the navy to attack Liaodong or Beijing, forcing Jiannu to withdraw his troops. Once Jiannu withdraws his troops, their doomsday will come."

Wang Pu pondered for a moment, turned his eyes to Zheng Chenggong and others who were eager to try, and asked, "Where are you, tell me what you think."

Zheng Chenggong said: "I want to ask you how to get rid of Jiannu's war horses? You must know that they are more than 100,000 war horses, not hundreds!"

Liu Rushi said: "The method is very simple, use horse plague!"

"Horse plague?" Wang Pu frowned and said, "Horse plague is hard to come by. How can it be broken if you want it?"

Liu Rushi smiled and said, "Has the Marquis forgotten Dad Li? Dad Li is a descendant of the famous doctor Li Shizhen. It is just a slaughter for him to create a horse plague."

Zheng Chenggong said: "Even if you can create horse plague, it will only explode on a large scale when summer is hot."

"No, you were wrong." Liu Rushi said calmly, "Dad Li said that horse plague is not easy to erupt in hot summer, but rather, it is most likely to induce horse plague in the spring and autumn seasons every year."

Zheng Chenggong thought about it and said, "If Jiannu lost all his war horses, it would be not difficult to defeat them, but it would be not that easy to wipe out them all, right?"

Liu Rushi looked back at Wang Pu and smiled and said, "Then you are going to ask the marquis."

Zheng Chenggong and more than a dozen other staff officers turned to Wang Pu, and Wang Pu smiled and said nothing. Of course, he knew what Liu Rushi meant. For this battle, Wang Pu gave Hong Niang a total of 40,000 war horses. Although the 40,000 cavalry was not too many, it was enough to make Jiannu doom at a critical moment.

However, Wang Pu really didn't think about using the horse plague to get rid of Jiannu's war horses, and then use Hongniang's 40,000 cavalry to chase and kill Jiannu and the Mongolian Tatars who lost their war horses. Originally, Wang Pu planned to wait until the Jiannu army gathered in Jining to let Hongniang bring 40,000 cavalry to harass Beijing.

After thinking about it, Wang Pu was still a little suspicious and ordered Lu Liu to say: "Liu, go to Yangming University and find Dad Li."

At this time, Mr. Li is not only a professor at Yangming University, but also a dean of the Medical School. He is in charge of more than a dozen professors from the Imperial Hospital and is responsible for teaching medical knowledge to the first two hundred students of the Medical School. If it weren’t for the short admission time, these students would not be useful, and Wang Puzhen wanted to recruit them into the army as military doctors.

Lu Liu took the order and it took about half an hour to take Dad Li back to the Governor's headquarters.

After meeting, Wang Pu asked, "Dad Li, can you really create horse plague?"

Dad Li nodded and said, "The so-called horse plague is actually a typhoid fever disease. In spring and autumn, people are prone to typhoid fever, and animals sometimes suffer from typhoid fever. Relatively speaking, animals are not prone to typhoid fever, but if a horse suffers from typhoid fever, it is amazing. The entire horse will be infected with typhoid fever in a very short period of time."

Wang Pu's heart was thrilled and asked, "Will the horse have typhoid fever?"

"As long as it is not an old horse, the remaining horse will not be." Dad Li said, "This is like a human being. If a strong young man gets typhoid fever, he will survive it even if he has no treatment from a doctor. However, if the weak elderly and children get typhoid fever, if they are not treated in time, they will most likely die."

Wang Pu nodded when he heard this. Typhoid fever was the most terrifying type of human plague in ancient times, and most of the people who died were weak and sickly, or the elderly and children.

Wang Pu asked again: "So what are the symptoms of horses after they get typhoid fever?"

Mr. Li said: "During the illness, the four hooves became weak and overwhelmed. They only liked drinking water but not eating grass."

Enough, enough! The eight words "small" are enough if you have four hooves and are overwhelmed! Wang Pu couldn't help but glance at Liu Rushi, thinking that Liu Rushi has made great progress in the past few months, and the combat plan proposed this time is much more clever than those who have only known "talking about war on paper".

In addition, it is time to send a letter to the Hongmao in Henan!

Henan, Kaifeng City Effect.

A large group of cavalry stood in the vast wilderness.

The autumn wind is strong and the flags are rising. The black cavalry lined up into a rigorous cavalry line, with ten rows in front and back, each row at least four thousand cavalry, ten miles away from the two wings!

On the horse's back, all the cavalry looked into the east sky, and a scorching look appeared in their eyes.

"ha!"

"drive!"

Accompanied by a loud trumpet and a crisp and pleasant female voice, two fast horses rushed from the east like lightning. The fast horse on the left was black all over, and the big man riding a tiger-back and bear-waisted waist on the horse's back. The riding on the right was red. The female knight on the horse's back was also wearing red clothes, and the people and horses were all integrated like a ball of burning flames coming towards the ground.

The burly man on the horse's back and the woman in red tied their bows at the same time, and the blunt arrow wrapped in lime had already aimed at each other.

"Expand..."

"Aoah..."
