Chapter 220

Liu Bu didn't dare to tell anyone about these words. It was just his own plan. It was the previous song xiance. He just saw Liu Bu's tone and didn't know what he really thought.

Liu Bu didn't dare to tell Liu Yuanqiao and Zheng Zhibao about these ideas, even his closest Zheng zining.

He knew that the current Ming Dynasty was still very strong, even though they now mobilized more than 100000 troops in the southwest to encircle and suppress the chaos of shean; Hundreds of thousands of troops were dispatched in the Central Plains to deal with the roving bandits; It is already so embarrassing to suppress JianNu in Jiubian, but many people believe that the difficulties of the Ming court are only temporary. As long as they survive this level, they will become strong again.

The Ming Dynasty has not had and has not had difficulties for more than 200 years. The change of civil castle in that year is worse than the current situation, but the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty are united and have not passed the difficulties in the end.

Therefore, if anyone dares to rebel now, it is definitely playing lanterns in the toilet -- looking for death.

Even the generals of the nine sides, these warlords and aristocratic families, have no intention of rebellion. Their main idea is to raise bandits with their own army. They hope to get more military pay and food from the imperial court. In short, they are making money.

Moreover, they dare not fight hard, because once they fight hard, it means that the enemy will be eliminated, and the imperial court will not pay attention to you, and will not send a large amount of military pay and money here. Not only will they refuse to send, but also they will deduct.

Today's Daming is the most punctual only when the troops going to war send food.

Now it can be said that Daming has so many generals. Maybe Liu Bu is the only one who wants to rebel and attack Beijing one day.

Of course, Liu Bu still hid these things in his heart. He saw that he led five warships. When he came back, there were more than 100 warships. Although these are small, they have the ability of a joint fleet. He brought this fleet back. If Liu family makes rational use of it, the North of Daming is invincible.

A sentence used in later generations is that he can control the sea power of the north with this fleet.

If he could control the sea power of the north in future generations, he could almost dominate the north. However, the power of the navy is still too weak, and the strike ability is not very far, that is, more than ten kilometers. Therefore, they can only affect the coast and river within ten kilometers at most, and no matter how far away they are, they are not opponents.

Therefore, Liu Bu is also making his next operation and development plan.

His next development plan is mainly discussed with Liu Fuqi, Zheng zining and Zheng Zhibao.

In fact, according to the rules, he and Zheng zining can't meet on the way to greet the wedding, but they can still open a small window across the hatch, and then we can have a meeting and study together.

He wants to live together. After all, this is not the first time, but considering that it is a warship, the place is relatively small, and his father-in-law is nearby, if he openly looks like this, his face is not very good-looking, so he can only endure it for a few days.

For the future development, Liu Buhe put forward his idea, that is, to use their existing fleet to seize the sea power of the whole Denglai area, and then extend northward to control the sea power of the whole Bohai Sea area and even the Yalu estuary area. If there is a chance, they have to go north to teach North Korea a lesson and let him listen.

They also have a large number of merchant ships, which are responsible for transporting materials and food for them.

They should also do a lot of overseas trade, transport their special products out, transport the special products back, and strengthen themselves.

If they want to dominate here, stay here and take root here, they must support such a huge army. To support such an army, they need food and money.

Although being a soldier in this era is to eat food, the Liu family can recruit enough soldiers if they have enough food. If others have so much food, they can recruit more than 100000 and 200000 troops, which is so powerful that even the imperial court has to be afraid.

However, the Liu family adopted the strategy of elite soldiers and the strategy of professional soldiers. They not only had to feed him, but also had to give him money to support his family, so that they could raise elite soldiers.

Originally, according to Liu Bu's plan, he planned to form a car camp and had the ability to fight a battle, but he got so much money from fan yongdou, and he made a lot of money without spending money on his wife, which made his heart fly.

Before they came home, they always took Jiaozhou as their strategic plan. In fact, their 4000 elite plan is enough. However, with his father in charge of Laizhou, his father-in-law became the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou, which means that his power can cover the 24 guard stations of the three camps of the East Third government, which means that they must set up more officers and troops, We must have at least 10000 troops to barely control such a large area.

Under the command of the Dengzhou general army, there are nominally three camps and twenty-four garrisons, but it can be said that the three camps and twenty-four garrisons in history, that is, the so-called Shandong Japanese army, were up to 200000 people at the time of the founding of the country, and they can fight. When these troops were pulled out, they did not have to be afraid to fight against the elite cavalry of upper Mongolia.

But now, there are not even 200000 people in name. They are tens of thousands in name. Moreover, they are mainly old, weak, sick and disabled and eat empty wages. They can't afford a war at all.

In fact, the local guard here is just an empty shelf.

This is Kong Youde. After he found a place in southern Liaoning, he dared to attack Denglai again. That's because he knew that several main forces encircling and suppressing him had retreated. Now the defense in Denglai area is empty, just more than 10000 garbage soldiers. These garbage soldiers have no ability.

So Liu Bu suggested that they recruit another 4000 soldiers on the basis of the 8000 they originally planned to recruit.

In the past, Liu Bu's plan was to have 4000 people before the spring, but with the injection of funds from fan yongdou, he planned to recruit another 4000 people. With 8000 troops, they could have the ability to attack abroad.

This is what Liu buta planned. That is, we must have 8000 troops in our hands. 4000 troops should be pulled out at any time to fight with the wandering bandits and JianNu. 4000 troops should stay in their Denglai area, that is, the old nest, to ensure that their place will not be attacked.

However, after his father-in-law became the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou, their protection area became larger. Therefore, Liu Bu suggested that he recruit directly and recruit 12000 soldiers. The newly recruited 4000 soldiers were recruited for his father-in-law. After all, what his father-in-law lacked was not money but manpower.

Moreover, Zheng Zhibao was still very keen on fame and wealth. He was very happy to be the commander of Dengzhou army. At that time, he even said that it was OK to spend more than 100000 Liang.

When he became the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou, he inevitably faced a problem, that is, he must have soldiers and generals in hand in order to make the local surrender.

Gao ruowang handed over more than 10000 garbage soldiers to him, which is actually a burden, that is, more than 10000 mouths to eat. It's no use fighting. He appreciates the army trained by the Liu family very much and has always hinted that he hopes the Liu family can train such a team for him. Money is easy to say. Now Liu Bu has put it in the light.

As soon as he said this, Zheng Zhibao and Zheng zining immediately agreed. Their navy is strong enough, but they can't find an opponent in the north. However, Zheng Zhibao really doesn't have an army. Last time he came to the post, Liu Bula sent 1000 elite soldiers to fill his Dengzhou camp and let him stand firm.

Since he has a strong navy and a strong army, Zheng Zhibao has enough confidence to speak. He can also say no to the governor loudly. In fact, he is not a person who is willing to yield to others and doesn't want to be angry. With soldiers and generals in his hands, he doesn't need to be angry with the governor, and he doesn't have to look at his face.

Therefore, Liu Bu has been meeting with Zheng zining's father and daughter these days to discuss their development plan for the next year, mainly to make money in business and recruit and train more troops, so as to ensure that they must have 12000 elite soldiers by next summer.

Liu Bu's plan is still very conservative and stable. If others have so much money and food, they can have 100000 troops before next spring, not to mention next summer.

However, Liu bu also has his own idea, that is, the army must have, but it must be a professional and elite soldier loyal to their Liu family and with strong combat ability.

Let's look at the current Daming. On the surface, they have 3 million troops, but they just let the population be only 200000 JianNu. Remember, the population is only 200000, including many old, weak, sick and disabled who can't join the army. Therefore, the eight flag army of JianNu can't exceed 100000, But they have a hundred thousand troops, but they can press the Ming army to fight.

However, today's Daming is far worse than when the country was founded. When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were founded, they could send hundreds of thousands of troops at will.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's attack on Yunnan was an attack by 300000 troops. Every campaign was launched by 100000 troops, and there was no enemy that could not be defeated.

When he came to Chu Di, he also mobilized 300000 troops to fight in Vietnam, which lasted ten years. Moreover, he started his five expeditions in Mobei, up to 500000.

However, in the three major expeditions during the Wanli period, even if the three expeditions were dispatched, the number of troops dispatched each time would not exceed 100000. When the war in the Ming Dynasty exceeded 100000, it was very difficult and could not carry it. It was like the cubs born of weasels. One nest was not as good as another.

Therefore, the number of marching battles is not a problem. The key is that soldiers must be well-equipped and well-trained.
