After receiving the secret report from Song Hongye and Zuo Shouyi, Zhu Cilang finally realized that the special operations in this era were still too simple.

Unlike later special forces who could accumulate firepower, the current weapon technology determines the limitation that few people are inevitable that the firepower will be weak. Therefore, Zuo Shouyi had been training for such a long time and could only put cold swords in the wild, which is somewhat different from the imagined "surgery is like precise beheading".

However, if we can seize the opportunity, destroy the Qing army's logistics system, and launch a counterattack in a timely manner, we will definitely achieve excellent results.

Zhu Cixuan's reply to Song Hongye was only four words: "Be careful."

The impact of logistics on the front line has a certain delay and lag. For example, according to the Ming army's logistics system, if the rear food route is cut off by someone, the food reserves of the front army will be enough for half a month. As long as the control of the food route can be regained within five days, it will be almost impossible to significantly affect it.

However, the Ming army's logistics system was improved by Zhu Cixuan based on modern logistics theory, and continued to survive at multiple points and transported nearby, replacing the old thinking of garrisoning grain in one place. If Hong Chengchou had not learned the lessons of Songshan's defeat, he would still have stationed the army's grain in one place. The result would not be to mention supporting for half a month, as long as the news was leaked, the morale of the army would be shaken immediately.

Hong Chengchou did not think about the method of scattering grain. The way he learned his lesson was to send more soldiers to protect the grain station. This choice of putting eggs in one basket is, on the one hand, it is difficult to find suitable scattered grain land, and on the other hand, multiple scattered grain land requires more soldiers to protect it. In the eyes of traditional military strategists, it is a stupid act of wasting troops.

If we analyze from the perspective of human resources, after there are too many grain storage sites, the level of the person in charge will decrease. No one can believe that a player can always have the same ability and sense of responsibility as a deputy general.

The regularization of the Eastern Palace eliminated this problem invisible. Whether it is a second lieutenant or a major general, no matter what the difference is in their spontaneous sense of responsibility, they must strictly follow the regulations. In fact, Zhu Cilang only needs people who obey and follow the rules. As for whether they have a high sense of responsibility, this belongs to the icing on the cake.

On July 18, the 18th year of Chongzhen, the Zhending Headquarters held a military discussion. The Fourth Headquarters of the Grand Governor's Office, the First Guard Division, and the Staff of the Second Guard Battalion attended the meeting to discuss, and finally decided to launch a summer offensive in August of the 18th. The strategic goal was to recover Baoding Prefecture and Tianjin Guards and completely crush the Qing army's Tianbao defense line.

The reason why Zhu Cixuan dared to go against the norm and make such a big move at this time is that two points in this war have been leveraged.

First of all, after Kong Youde "surrendered", Wu Sangui had doubts about whether to continue to work hard for the Qing court. Compared with Kong Youde, the criminal of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui was simply a patriotic young man. He simply let the Qing army enter the pass. But at that time, the main enemy was to break through the rebellion, and at most it was a decision-making mistake. Being deceived by the cunning Jiannu, it could not be considered a treason for the country and surrender to the enemy.

After entering the pass, Wu Sangui kept fighting against Chuanggui and refused to confront the officials and soldiers of the court. This is also well-known, so as long as he bribed the remarks, he might not be able to reduce his crime.

Wu Sangui initially thought that the Qing army was strong and sweeping the world was easy. Now it seems that the Qing army is actually not much stronger. Compared with the continuous support provided by the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army was simply rootless wood without source water. According to Wu Sangui, if he could not fight to Jiangnan within three to six months after entering the pass, he should voluntarily withdraw from the pass, rest and plan to come again.

The Qing Dynasty's powerful people were like wolfhounds that had bitten meat and refused to give in. The result was hard to say.

"When I was outside the pass, I heard a story." Wu Sangui sat in the military tent, with more than ten generals and schoolmen under him, all of whom were old men of the Wu family and backbone of the Guangning Army.

"A butcher went home at night. He passed by a forest and felt very tired. He hung the unsold meat on the tree with an iron hook, planning to pick it up early tomorrow morning before going to the city to hawk." Wu Sangui said slowly, "Who knew that he came the next morning and saw where was the meat hanging on the tree? It was clearly a wolf."

"It turned out that the wolf was attracted by the flesh. He jumped up to eat meat, but he didn't want to catch the hook. He didn't eat the meat, but instead gave the butcher a good skin." After Wu Sangui said that, he smiled first.

Seeing the prince laughing, the generals followed him to support him, and his heart was like a mirror. The Ming Dynasty was like the stupid and lazy butcher, easily hanging the national treasure on the tree. The Qing Dynasty was like the greedy wild wolf. The iron hook of the Qing Dynasty was the rich country in the pass.

This story only says that the Qing court should give up the pass, so as not to be too long to be defeated by the front line and insufficient troops. The deep laughter in the end told everyone: I will not serve you anymore.

Of course, Wu Sangui hoped to return to western Liaoning, which was his foundation. Especially if the Qing Dynasty withdrew from the customs of the Qing Dynasty, there would inevitably be internal turmoil. The so-called slaves and weak masters would be weak. As Shunzhi grows day by day, this turmoil will eventually turn into internal strife. This undoubtedly gives Liaoxi generals a chance to revive, and maybe they can fight back to Liaodong.

However, the Ming court probably would not agree, so it is necessary to establish itself in Shaanxi and bring a province of Shaanxi back to the Ming Dynasty. It will not only be a sinner, but also a hero. If it is operated properly, it may also be able to imitate the Mu family of Qianguo, and forever, it will be no worse than being a king.

But it was hard for Wu Sangui to imagine that the Jinyiwei, who once did not go out of Beijing, would now stretch out his tentacles so long. After he entered Qin, he naturally had to recruit locals in Shaanxi as his staff. Most of these people were unsuccessful scholars, and they did not care about loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, Dashun, or the Qing Dynasty. Who would have thought that the Jinyiwei had already collected such a group of scholars, and some were victims who were confronted by the crown prince back then.

Although these scholars were not credited and no one was given to them, the documents in the military and court were copied or even drafted by these people, which was definitely a first-hand news. Many documents were copied two copies, one sent to Beijing and the other sent to the Jinyiwei.

The Jinyiwei, which was so magical in later generations, was the first guard of honor, personal soldiers, and thugs... Later, the power of investigation was added, and they were also ordered to handle cases, deviating with the court's stroke. In the 276th year of the Ming Dynasty, there were only a handful of commanders of the Jinyiwei who could ensure that the Jinyiwei was independent and not instructed by officials in the East Factory.

Zhu Cilang first learned that the real Jinyiwei was so cowardly, and he was really depressed for a long time.

Nowadays, the legendary Jinyiwei, Zhu Cilang, is foresighted and willing to support him. On the other hand, thanks to Xu Dun. This character of being born to lurk in the darkness and spy on the privacy of everyone is not something that normal people have.

It was the hard work of the Jinyiwei Shaanxi Institute that Wu Sangui's ideological trends were quickly delivered to Zhu Cixuan. The Jinyiwei and the General Staff Military Intelligence Department analyzed this information: Wu Sangui had a disobedient heart, but it was not easy to ask him to change his flag and change his flag.

Wu Sangui is a person who never shows a rabbit or a hawk, and he is always cautious and afraid of death. Perhaps because of this talent, he can escape in all wars. Although he killed countless comrades, he was always safe and sound. Thinking about the fact that he led less than 30 cavalrymen to bravely break into the Qing army camp to rescue his father Wu Xiang, who would have thought that there was the same person in front and behind.

If the Qing court drew troops from the western front at this time, it would have stimulated Wu Sangui to change the flag directly. The situation in Shanxi was not clear, and Duoduo was still looking for a way to force the crossing of the Hutuo River. Therefore, Dorgon could not concentrate all his troops to attack the northern front unless he was willing to spit out the flesh from his mouth.

Even if Dorgon really had the determination to cut off his arm, Zhu Cilang had a second insurance policy.

Liaodong.

Chen De's troops have made preparations for crossing the sea. The first batch of 3,000 people will take a boat to cross Pi Island in early August and build a fort. The next day, the second batch of landing troops will board Lu Island under the leadership of Chief of Staff Wei Yun and establish an observation post. Then they will occupy the Liaohai islands from far to near, hoard resources, accept the Liao people, and carry out military intelligence work on Liaodong.

If Dorgon really brought the troops of his entire clan to fight Zhu Cixuan in Beizhi, Chen De would immediately attack Lushun, Kuan Dian, remove the Qing army stationed in North Korea, and then go north and attack Shenyang.

"What if Jiannu didn't even want his old nest? For land in the pass to exchange for remote areas like Liaodong, wouldn't they still make a profit?" someone whispered.
