Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 72 Planning
Emilian is certainly not a fool as a commanding general. He did not deal with the opponent lightly, because he knew that since the opponent dared to say such a thing without the support of military power, he definitely had something to rely on. Sure enough, when appeasing the gentry of several major ethnic groups in the area, Emilian noticed the abnormality of the situation. Almost all the gentry expressed respect for the so-called city guard and asked him to stay in office. As for whether the entire northwest Luzon should be under the jurisdiction of the Tanghe Empire or the Grand Duchy of Luzon, they were not good and had no right to comment.
This kind of remarks was actually supported by most of the Andean upper-class gentry, which made Emilian truly feel the isolation of his own side here. I feel, and it's only been a year since I left here, so it can be seen how clever this guy Li Wufeng is in buying people's hearts.
But Emilian was not idle either. While strengthening the defense of Shuangdui City and surrounding security, he also ordered a team of 10,000 people stationed in Mingzhu Town to allocate half of it to strengthen the defense of Shuangdui City. At the same time, he also took a series of measures to strengthen his rule over Shuangdui City. He first worked on the Andeans of the same ethnic group to win over and divide them. On the other hand, he threatened several other ethnic groups with tough measures, requiring them to obey the management of the local garrison and make a guarantee to support the work of the garrison authorities. At the same time, they also took measures to hunt down the radicals who opposed Lu Song's takeover of Shuangdui, and tried to return to the state before Li Wufeng's control as soon as possible. Emilien also promptly reported the situation to Frederick who was sitting far away on the Salween River defense line, hoping to get instructions as soon as possible.
The travel-stained Ling Tian stepped into Lulong City with his front foot, and Wu Feng recruited him into his study with his back foot, which shows the urgency in Wu Feng's heart.
"Tian Fang, you understand the situation. Although there are a lot of Taiping troops in the east, I'm not too worried, but there is no news about the Kamans who sneaked out of Jiayuguan. I conclude that they must have After entering the Terok territory, once the Kamans cross the defense line to the west of the Terok, the threat to Lulong City will be too great. If the Taiping Army comes to join in the fun again at this time, I am afraid that we will really be overwhelmed. Let's go." Wufeng didn't hide his inner anxiety at all, and directly posed the problem.
Ling Tianfang described it as cold and serious, while reading the information, he carefully checked the map. He was dragged here by Wufeng before he had time to catch his breath, but he didn't complain. He knew that the coach was not very urgent, so he definitely wouldn't behave like this.
While analyzing the battle situation in front of him, and listening to Wufeng's opinion, Ling Tianfang also noticed the subtlety of the situation in front of him. Although the more than 100,000 Taiping troops in the east have completed their assembly, they have not made any major moves. In the north, the Kaman army coming south from Jiayuguan obviously joined the Terok battle. It stands to reason that there should have been a major military operation long ago, but so far there have been no major changes. This really made him feel a little strange.
"My lord, do you think the Kamanians and the Taiping Army are waiting for an opportunity, or do they both want the other party to come head-to-head with us first?" Thinkingly asked such a sentence.
It was difficult for Wufeng to determine for a while, whether the two sides have not coordinated yet, or is it just that one side is too worried? However, he still feels that there must be some kind of tacit understanding between the two parties, and it will not be a single action. Maybe both parties are making promises to each other, but at the same time they are holding their own ideas. Take advantage of the subtleties of this situation.
"Tian Fang, do you think that although the two parties have the same idea, they are unwilling to confront us first, and they both hope that the other party will come to fight us first, so that they can reap the benefits of others?" Wufeng touched his chin carefully, and asked slowly, but the tone was very sure.
Ling Tianfang also nodded slowly and said, "I'm also a little skeptical. The Taiping Army has been severely damaged by our army. Although there are still superior forces, firstly, Lulong has relatively strong fortifications, and secondly, the Taiping Army's combat effectiveness is also low. It is indeed inferior and lacks combat experience. If they attack a fortified city again, the losses will definitely be even greater. Their commander will not fail to see this, so the subordinates think that the Taiping Army will not do such an unwise move. The Kamans have already It has been in a stalemate with the Teroks and the Imperial coalition forces for quite a long time, and the coalition forces have also built some fixed fortifications there. Once the battle is unfavorable, they will definitely rely on the fortifications to hold on. Even if the Kamans have new forces joining, if they want to easily win , and there is still a certain degree of difficulty, and I am afraid that I will be quite exhausted if I go south to attack the city and pull out the stronghold."
Paused, "The Kamans definitely hope that the Taiping Army can attack us first by taking advantage of their superiority in strength. Even if they can't annihilate us, it's best to besiege us in Lulong City, and wait for them to resolve the situation of Jieluk. Only then did we come down south to launch the final offensive, and finish us off in one fell swoop." Ling Tianfang looked deeply and carefully analyzed the intricate situation he was facing.
"Well, it makes sense." Wufeng also nodded. Although it was such an important matter, since Ling Tianfang came, he has relaxed a lot. Since there are capable people to handle it, he doesn't have to worry about it Work **** yourself, let them handle what should be handled by them, and it is enough to be a decision maker yourself.
"Since the Kamanian army has gained an absolute advantage, why hasn't it launched an offensive yet?" Wufeng stretched his waist and asked again.
"The subordinate speculates that the Kamanians are also unwilling to give the Taiping Army an excuse on the surface. After all, the two sides are still allies. Although they have not announced it to the public, their high-level officials must have a tacit understanding. If they win now If the war situation in the west of Terok is over, the Taiping Army will definitely ask the Kaman army to enter Lulong immediately and attack us together. This is not in line with the Kaman people's ideas, so will they want to delay it and force the Taiping Army to launch an attack alone? ?” Ling Tianfang considered it carefully, and took a small sip of the black tea from the Central Mainland that Wufeng specially asked his servants to brew. He is a native of Central China, he likes black tea with a strong taste rather than the light green tea that Tanghe people are known for, and Wu Feng also knows this hobby very well.
"Well, my God, I see any difficult situation in front of you, you can say one, two, three, let's relax in the future, you go to open a shop that specializes in solving doubts, choose a lively It is a golden port that specializes in analyzing the situation and offering ideas to solve problems, I think it will definitely make a lot of money." Wufeng said with a smile.
"My lord!" There was a bit of irony, at this moment, the coach was still thinking about making such jokes, Ling Tianfang really admired Wufeng's calmness.
"Haha, just kidding, relax and relax." The conversation changed, Wufeng immediately said again: "The situation is clear, it seems that there will be no major situation for the time being, now that you are here again, then I will You can relax now, and the future work will mainly be undertaken by you. So what are your plans now?"
"No, my lord, we haven't figured out the real situation of the Kamans yet. What I said just now is just our wishful thinking. What is the reason why the Kamans didn't launch an attack immediately? It's useless to make an assertion now. It's too early. I think we need to strengthen reconnaissance and intelligence gathering on the one hand, and on the other hand, we should make some preparations." Wufeng's optimistic attitude towards the battle situation made Ling Tianfang frowned, and his tone became serious.
Wufeng still had a casual look, "Well, I know this, but I believe that your arrival will definitely change the situation in front of me, I believe in you."
Ling Tianfang was very uncomfortable with the manager's smiling face. He had repeatedly asked Wufeng to pay attention to his special image, but the other party always turned a deaf ear to him and went his own way, making them, the subordinates, helpless Fortunately, Wufeng hadn't gone too far in public, which made these subordinates feel a little bit at ease.
The helpless Ling Tianfang could only shake his head, pondered for a while before saying: "The subordinates are thinking, since the Kaman people in Jiayuguan have dispatched a team to advance eastward, I wonder if our troops in Taixuan can do the same. Make some adjustments accordingly. Judging from the current situation, the subordinates believe that the Kamans are unlikely to attack the Taixuan Mansion in the short term, and the defense capabilities of the Taixuan Mansion have been greatly improved after this period of reinforcement~IndoMTL .com~Both in terms of city defense and army training, they have been greatly strengthened. The subordinates are thinking, whether it is possible to transfer some troops to move eastward, one can reinforce Lulong at any time, and two can wait for an opportunity to threaten the card in Terok Mann people, let them feel at ease. In addition, from the perspective of my subordinates, Fielding is now fully qualified for his current position, and he is even capable of taking on more important responsibilities."
After negotiating with the Kamanians to redeem tens of thousands of captives and reaching a deadlock, Fielding also suggested to Ling Tianfang to strengthen the training of the reservists (especially those who had been organized by him in advance to be established as the Fourth Security Division Reservists of the Regiment) to prepare for the formation of the Second Taixuan Security Division (the former Second Security Division has been renamed the Taixuan Security Division) in the next step. This suggestion was supported by Ling Tianfang. Facing the threat of the Kamans' possible invasion at any time, the Taixuan Mansion's reserve training was very impressive, and Ling Tianfang was surprised by the enthusiasm of the reserve personnel for the training. All government personnel felt great pressure, and the enthusiasm that erupted was even greater.
This also gave Ling Tianfang great confidence, so he was able to rush to Lulong with confidence and boldness.
"Well, I'll think about it. With me, as long as I have the ability, I believe he won't be buried." When Wufeng said this, he still had that lazy look, but the confidence in his tone There is no doubt about it.
"By the way, you also know the situation in Northern Luzon. It seems that we have quite a few enemies, and they all choose to attack us at this crucial point. Renqi, I never thought that I, Li Wufeng, would end up in such an embarrassing state." He laughed, but he couldn't hear any anxiety in the speaker's tone, making it difficult for others to see through his true thoughts.
