Chapter 421: Bureau Eye

Lin Chunhong lies in Wuchang, and every day he either summons his subordinates, or travels around Wuchang, Hanyang and Hankou, understanding the customs and customs. In addition, with Zhou Feng accompanying him, life is quite comfortable and there is no trace of tension.

Compared to Lin Chunhong, Tian Chuyun's life was not so leisurely. After the military exercise outside Jixian Pass, the soldiers of the three armies were full of expectations, thinking that after Lin Chunhong arrived, they would fight and make achievements. Unexpectedly, the surrounding areas of Anqing were extremely peaceful, and in addition to boring training, they were also training every day.

These generals finally couldn't stand it anymore and ran to Tian Chuyun to ask for a fight. In addition to arranging training plans every day, Tian Chuyun even comforted the emotions of these generals, and was not very annoyed. In the end, he couldn't stand such days, so he ran to Wuchang to see Lin Chunhong.

If you want to say, Tian Chuyun felt very emotional when Lin Chunhong let Tian Xuan go. He knew that for Lin Chunhong, killing Tian Xuan was like killing an ant. It would be better for people like Tian Xuan who hated Lin Chunhong to the core to let him disappear forever. Lin Chunhong did not hesitate at all, and naturally let Tian Xuan go decisively for his sake.

"A gentleman dies for his confidant!" This is a sentence that Tian Chuyun often says recently.

After hearing Tian Chuyun's purpose, Lin Chunhong couldn't help laughing: "I said to Marshal Tian, ​​don't put this shit on my head, right? As long as you Marshal Tian gave the order, the generals would be silent and obey the orders. How could they be so troublesome? Marshal Tian made a special trip to find out the overall plan?"

Tian Chuyun laughed a few times and admitted: "I knew I could not hide it from the governor, so I asked directly, which left the impression of being cunning on the governor."

Lin Chunhong said: "Since ancient times, there are no famous generals who are not cunning? Di Wei and you, you look loyal and honest, and your belly is full of curves."

When Tian Chuyun heard the word "famous general", he felt secretly happy, but his face seemed to be unhooked, and said modestly: "How can I afford the praise of the governor?"

Lin Chunhong said: "You can afford it, you can afford it! Just look for the overall plan at you. Since ancient times, famous generals have grasped the general trend. Now Yang Sichang is waving his big sword everywhere, and the situation seems chaotic. In fact, as long as you grasp the four points, everything will be clear. These four points are Zhang Xianzhong, Anqing, Shuangyu and the Dutch."

Tian Chuyun was obviously startled by the three words "Dutch" and blurted out: "What's the matter with the Dutch?"

"The Dutch is the key. If you want to say, Yang Sichang is really a strategic expert. Although he does not intend to get involved with the Dutch, this does not prevent him from using the Dutch's power..."

Speaking of this, Lin Chunhong couldn't help but sigh and thought to himself: In the original history, Yang Sichang was in charge of the imperial court, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai surrendered, Li Zicheng was beaten to only eighteen cavalry, and the thieves and chaos in the Ming Dynasty were almost wiped out. It was only the blame that the lower-level soldiers and officials of the Ming Dynasty were too bastard, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai rebelled again, Yang Sichang felt deeply ashamed of Jun En, and had to jump on the front and directly command the soldiers to fight, giving up his advantage in grasping the overall situation, which led to the final failure. Although Yang Sichang finally failed, this could not cover up Yang Sichang's overall coordination ability.

Looking at Lin Chunhong sighing, Tian Chuyun thought Lin Chunhong had a headache for Yang Sichang, and couldn't help but persuade: "Yang Sichang will play tricks again, but he can't resist Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch will not follow his mercy."

Lin Chunhong said: "This is the reason. Thanks to the recent years of opening the sea, Yang Sichang has a good understanding of overseas Chinese, and he is well aware of Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch colluded with the Dutch. Yang Sichang was not prepared to fight with us in Henan and Anqing at the beginning. His goal was to indulge Zheng Zhilong. The Dutch cut off our right-hand man at sea and seek an advantageous position in negotiations! The so-called Henan and Anqing are nothing more than a move he has to restrain our strength."

"In Henan, we are not as good as he wants. We use our own way to treat others and use Zhang Xianzhong as a bargaining chip. We have these internal ingredients, so I won't say much. I guess General Yang will arrive in Wuchang in the next few days, which is a clear result."

"As for Shuangyu, Yang Sichang promised that Zheng's ships would be traded at ports along the Yangtze River, which forced us to meet Zheng Zhilong in a war. We simply fulfilled his wish and sank a merchant ship Zheng Zhilong. I guess Yang Sichang would not know how happy he would be when he learned this news."

"Zheng Zhilong is indeed a hero, and he should have seen through this bureau. According to the information from the Military Information Department, Zheng Zhilong is indeed colluding with the Dutch and wants to take advantage of the opportunity of Anqing and Zhang Xianzhong taking our energy to jointly attack our fleet. Zheng Zhilong changed his past tolerance and gathered hundreds of warships to run to Shuangyu. I guess he wanted to force us to mobilize the fleet north to create opportunities for the Dutch to operate in the South China Sea. However, now Zheng Zhilong has the advantage in military strength, but he is still in a hurry. He should not want to be used as a gun envoy by the court and the Dutch, and he is willing to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. Hehe, with only dozens of warships in the Eastern Fleet, Zheng Zhilong's unstable factor is fixed on Shuangyu. This deal is cost-effective! Zheng Zhilong is helping us and insists on making a misjudgment from the Dutch."

Tian Chuyun said: "Zheng Zhilong has no credibility. For his own selfishness, he probably can even sell his parents' country. It is natural to sell the Dutch this time."

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "Zheng Zhilong is now in conflict. He wants to weaken our maritime power, but is afraid of offending us completely. It is indeed not surprising that he will cause troubles between the two ends of the rat."

"In the early stage, the Dutch sold cannons to Shi Kefa, and the price was almost one-third more expensive. It seems that the Dutch are extremely alert to us and never forget to make trouble. We gathered 30,000 to 40,000 people in Anqing, and fired guns and played tricks, creating a huge battle. Later, we blocked the estuary of the Yangtze River and mobilized the Oriental Fleet to confront Zheng Zhilong on Shuangyu. As long as the Dutch are not too stupid, we will definitely realize the key role of the Yangtze River to us."

"The more violent we are in Anqing and Shuangyu, the more the Dutch thinks we will maintain the safety of the Yangtze River at all costs. With our three-deck warships transferred north, the Dutch will most likely be unable to withstand loneliness and are ready to move!"

"Our eight main warships have indeed headed north and are still swaying by the city of Relanzha. However, after passing through the Taiwan Strait, they circled again and returned from the east of Taiwan...haha..."

Lin Chunhong talked freely, making Tian Chuyun feel sad. Some time ago, he advanced again, and was the one who was practicing again, and Tian Xuan had a problem. He thought Anqing was extremely important and he played a key role in Jingzhou's overall strategy. Unexpectedly, he tried his best to make such a lively mess, just to make the Dutch mistakenly believe that all the energy in Jingzhou was involved in the Yangtze River.

Tian Chuyun asked with a bitter face: "The Dutch, the Red Barbarians, the governor wants to go to war with them, and directly order the fleet to attack. Why bother to make such a lot of effort?"

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "Don't forget, the big head is still with Yang Sichang! Fighting the Dutch is only a means, not an end. The more we beat the Dutch, the more deeply we will beat the Dutch, the emperor and Yang Sichang will remember it deeply. When the court mobilized all its forces, we still have the strength to attack. This is the best warning, let Yang Sichang sit down and talk to us obediently, set a few rules and red lines, so as not to be so upset with the present."

Tian Chuyun suddenly realized and bowed: "I am so dull and didn't think of this."

Lin Chunhong said: "Last time I was trying to seize Wuchang, I think you have used the linkage between water and land in a very exquisite way. Now the only thing you lack is your understanding of naval warfare. The reason why you mobilized the Dutch fleet was nothing more than just wanting to catch the Dutch off guard."

"The most difficult part in the naval battle is to attack. If it weren't for Diwei landing in the Battle of Manila, how could the Manila's turret be so easy to capture? I guess in the end, our warships would have to return to the base in shame."

"The Dutch have been operating in Batavia for nearly twenty years. Even if our warships can destroy the Dutch fleet, it will probably be extremely difficult to occupy Batavia. What's more, the Dutch are bound to hide under the fort when they see it is defeated. Where can we have a chance at that time?"

"Although the Netherlands is small, its warships have thousands. Once its reinforcement fleet arrives in Batavia, it will not be a question of whether it can capture Batavia, but whether our fleet can resist the Dutch fleet!"

Speaking of this, Lin Chunhong pointed to Batavia on the map and said, "This time I am going to use the same trick again and send the Marine Corps to land. If the Dutch fleet stays in Batavia, where can we find a chance to land? It just happened to take this opportunity to mobilize the Dutch fleet to leave Batavia, and then we take advantage of the opportunity to land and give full play to our advantage of the superiority of land forces!"

Tian Chuyun felt sour and said jealously: "This time the Dragon and Tiger Legion is going to make achievements again. However, the Southeast Camp was very lively, but there was only thunder and rain."

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "Don't envy Di Wei. In the future, Di Wei is jealous of you too late. The three armies of the Southeast Camp have made great contributions and there are no major tasks in the near future. I plan to upgrade all the three armies to legions and form a Southeast War Zone, with you as the commander."

Tian Chuyun could hardly believe his ears and blurted out: "More than 60,000 people? This...this..."

Lin Chunhong nodded, pointed to the territory of Liaodong, and said, "Yes, it's yes, there are more than 60,000 people. But don't be too happy too early. There is no major problem in the Southeast War Zone. In the future, all the soldiers in the War Zone will cross the sea to fight here."

After saying that, Lin Chunhong sighed and said with concern: "I'm afraid the Jurchens will soon be unable to help but take action..."
