Chapter 459： Northern Expedition Plan

The birth of the eldest son of the emperor is not a matter of Wu Changqing alone, but a matter of the entire Dahua.

With the eldest son of the emperor, even if Wu Changqing suddenly burped now, the remaining people were effectively loyal to the target.

This is vital to the stability of a power.

Without the eldest son of the emperor, Wu Changqing would belch, and Dahua would definitely split. How could Liu Hansan let Li Shaobin be the emperor, and they would not agree with each other.

But with this emperor's eldest son, Wu Changqing belching, they can only be ministers at best, and they will choose to compromise with each other.

If they want to stand on their own feet, their prestige and ability are not enough.

Just like the Qing Dynasty before, if there is no such contradiction as Fulin to ease the point, Dorgon and Haug will definitely fight to death and life, and no one can make concessions to each other.

But because of the forint, they can reach a compromise by making concessions to the forint and avoid internal fighting.

No matter how strong Dahua was before, everyone was still a little worried.

I am worried that this force created by Wu Changqing's personal abilities and personal charm will instantly collapse because of Wu Changqing's disappearance.

The birth of the prince’s eldest son allowed Dahua officials to do things with greater peace of mind.

For the people, it is also a good thing for the emperor to have a queen, because under normal circumstances, the emperor’s eldest son will amnesty the world and reduce taxes. This is a real benefit.

The next day, Wu Changqing announced the good news to the world, and at the same time gave officials from non-important departments three days off, and officials from important departments took three days of rest in turn.

As for the common people, the land tax for half a year is exempted.

As for the merchants, the emperor had such a happy event, shouldn't the merchants send some generous gifts to express their inner ‘excitement’?

Wu Changqing's attitude towards merchants is the same as that of leeks.

Because relying on them to develop the economy, he will find ways to fertilize these leeks (provide technology and create a good business environment), and then wait for them to grow up.

When there is a need, a wave of harvesting will be carried out and the wealth will be received and redistributed.

Of course, this is his plan, and it is not clear to him whether it can be implemented smoothly.

Although the merchants do not have much force in their hands, their power cannot be underestimated.

It really pushes them, and the whole society will cause turmoil.

Amnesty the world.

Some criminals who committed petty thefts and committed minor crimes were commended and released.

Whether it is tax cuts or amnesty to the world, they are actually increasing the popularity of the prince’s eldest son.

Those criminals who have been amnested will probably remember for the rest of their lives that they were released from prison early for some reason.

Those people who have been exempted from taxation will also remember that this is because the eldest son of the emperor was born.

Invisible, they will remember who the eldest son of the emperor is.

This kind of popularity or prestige is more or less useful.

For example, Wu Changqing suddenly belched, and several princes screamed, and those people would definitely support the one they were most familiar with.

The birth of the prince’s eldest son, the whole country celebrates the whole country, and many industries have holidays and rest to celebrate.

And this does not include the army.

Suqian, Liu Hansan is already preparing to officially launch an offensive.

They have recharged for several months, and have prepared enough troops and supplies.

Fighting in the northern battlefield is not as small as in the south. The biggest battle was more than 60,000 people.

The northern terrain is too suitable for large-scale decisive battles.

Liu Hansan's summer offensive mobilized a full 150,000 troops.

The 150,000 army attacked in two directions, with a total of 40,000 troops on the left, led by Dong Tianbao, marching north from Huainan, with the goal of capturing most of Henan.

The army on the right is led by Liu Hansan himself, with a total of 110,000 people. Starting from Suqian, it will fight north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, with the goal of occupying important cities along and around the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

Such as Xuzhou, Zaozhuang, Jining, Liaocheng and other places.

As long as these places are occupied, their supplies can be transported continuously from the rear, and then use the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal as a fulcrum to carry out clearance and suppression to the surrounding areas.

It can be said that as long as the important cities along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal are occupied, the surrounding areas will basically be destroyed.

The Qing army could not be so stupid that after losing the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, it continued to place troops around it. That would be a free gift to the Chinese army.

This battle can actually be classified as a fight for the canal.

By opening the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, their forces can be directly invested in Beijing. By that time, Beijing will be at your fingertips.

Before the war, the staff and the high-ranking officers got together to study how to fight.

"We can siege Xuzhou, induce the enemy to come to rescue, and then encircle the spot to fight for aid. Although the defensive role of the city is getting lower and lower now, it is possible to fight in the field, and it is best to fight in the field."

Chief of Staff An Fugui suggested.

"Poor, tactics are interspersed, rich, firepower bombing, wherever so many tactics are needed, just push it all the way."

Ning Xiang, head of the air force regiment said.

After several months of improvement and manufacturing, the size of the Air Force has now been expanded several times, from a battalion to a regiment.

The total force is more than 2,600 people, of which more than 600 soldiers know how to control hydrogen balloons and hot air balloons.

There are more than 1,200 people responsible for the delivery of ammunition, and more than 800 ground support troops.

There are a total of 500 flight equipment and 10,000 aerial bombs.

This kind of firepower is quite terrifying, if it is thrown over the enemy's head at one time, there will be no residue left to blow the enemy.

It is precisely because of such a powerful firepower that Ning Xiang feels that there is no need to engage in those complicated tactics, just attack directly.

It’s a good idea to fight for aid. The point is, do the Qing army still have the courage to come out to support it?

I am afraid that after hearing their call for help, they will only close the city gate to protect themselves.

"You're not in charge. You don't know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive. If you don't have ammunition, you just call for ammunition. Do you know how hard it is for me to go to Nanjing to get a batch of ammunition?

Use more tactics and save some materials and ammunition. As long as we save a little bit, we might still have ammunition when we hit Beijing. Wouldn't it be better to take Beijing in one go? "

Xu Yuxian retorted.

The last time he went to Nanjing to get supplies, he almost didn't fight with members of the Southern Army Corps.

But these **** generals in front, who didn't know how to save, would only rely on firepower to bully the enemy.

Xu Yuxian disagrees with this situation.

"It is not easy for your Majesty to govern the country. Let's save some flowers. Staff An, you continue to elaborate on how to play this tactic and how much advantage can it take?"

Liu Hansan spoke.

He was tempted to hear Xu Yuxian's words, "You can hit Beijing with little savings,". If he could take all the north back and take Beijing in one go, this credit might make him rise to the next level.
