Dahua is flourishing and prosperous, but other places are full of wars.
In Changsha, Tao Dongcheng's army has occupied this area, and has hardly lost any strength.
Because He Tengjiao knew that no matter whether it was a decisive battle on the plains or defending the city, there was no way to counter Dahua's army.
In desperation, He Tengjiao could only abandon the plains and retreat continuously to Huaihua next to Guizhou.
He is ready to use the topography of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to offset the advantage of the Chinese army a little bit.
"Commander, Lu Guangzu from the south has already captured Nanning and is marching towards Baise."
Some subordinates report on the progress of the friendly forces, on the one hand, they understand the friendly forces and then cooperate. On the other hand, Tao Dongcheng also wanted to attack Kunming ahead of Lu Guangzu.
Everyone wants this credit.
However, Tao Dongcheng was facing a relatively unfavorable situation, that is, the enemy they faced was stronger than the enemy Lu Guangzu faced.
Although He Tengjiao suffered heavy losses in Wuhan, his remnants plus the troops from other places add up to tens of thousands.
In order to deal with He Tengjiao, Tao Dongcheng could only lead the army to advance steadily, naturally, the speed was much slower.
The supply of 10,000 people and the supply of 60,000 people are not a concept at all.
"If this continues, Lu Guangzu will definitely arrive at Kunming one step ahead of us. Commander, we can't fight steadily anymore. Anyway, we have the advantage of equipment. We only need to send an elite force to drive straight in. There is no need to put a city in one place like this. It's all occupied."
Li Lianfan said.
He wanted to fight for the vanguard position, and personally led a division to fight to Kunming to capture Zhu Youlang alive.
"Will the risk be too great? How to solve the supply? Don't you think that the soldiers can bring enough food to Kunming at once.
If you don't shoot down along the way, how can you make the logistics troops feel relieved to deliver supplies to you? "
Xiong Rulin asked back.
"There is no need for logistical supplies, just use the method of eating the enemy."
Li Lianfan said.
Everyone understands what he said. One of the things that the previous army liked to do was to eat the enemy, that is, to grab food from the people in the enemy's territory.
This can certainly solve the food problem, but the reputation of the army will be stinking.
Tao Dongcheng and Xiong Rulin disagree with this.
Dahua attaches great importance to the reputation of the military.
If you dare to attack the people, you will be finished if you are reported.
"You can take a flexible approach. We are not going to grab food, but to buy and borrow. Bring the silver taels, and you can buy as much as you can. If you don’t have enough money, you will give the people IOUs, and then the commander will pay you back after you advance to the local area give them."
Of course Li Lianfan would not rob him directly, it was a felony.
Don't grab it directly, but you can borrow it by force.
As long as they are willing to pay back after the event, the people will certainly not have any grievances, but will say good things about Dahua.
After all, there is probably only the Chinese army that can be repaid if borrowed.
This......
Everyone began to think about the feasibility of Li Lianfan's plan.
With a team of elites who drive straight ahead, without waiting for logistical supplies, the speed will definitely be several times faster than they are now.
Moreover, as Li Lianfan said, they have to push all the way to conquer all places and bring them under Dahua's rule anyway.
When the time comes, returning the food owed will not have much impact on the reputation of the UOB Army.
"However, how can Master Li be sure that the local people must have food in their hands. What if there is none?"
Xiong Rulin continued to ask, discussing the feasibility of this plan.
"This kind of possibility is unlikely, at most it may be missing, but it is impossible to have none of them. At that time, let the soldiers overcome a little bit. As long as they conquer the city all the way, they will definitely not starve to death."
Li Lianfan certainly knew that there were risks, but it was impossible not to take any risks without taking any risks.
In his view, this kind of risk is controllable. If it doesn't work, just grab the people, and it won't starve the army to death.
Tao Dongcheng fell into thinking after hearing this.
Don't think that this proposal was made by Li Lianfan, but if something happens, he will not escape the relationship, after all, it is a decision he agreed to.
Of course, once Li Lianfan first invades Kunming, he can also take half of the credit, because this is his decision.
After some thinking, Tao Dongcheng agreed to this suggestion.
Because he believed that Li Lianfan shouldn't starve a teacher to death.
As for whether the lone army will be surrounded and wiped out in depth, he has no worries about this.
With their weapons and equipment, even if it goes deep behind enemy lines, there is no big problem.
Tang Guozhen dared to drive straight into the plains, let alone the mountains in the southwest.
As long as they choose a hill for defensive operations, Da Ming will be helpless like a hedgehog.
A plan was made and they started to act.
The best equipment of the entire army is concentrated in Li Lianfan's 24th Division, and as much food is carried as possible, and the weight of each soldier is twice as much as usual.
Changing to another army, carrying equipment of this weight, even marching is a problem.
However, the UOB Army’s food is good and the soldiers are physically strong, so the problem is not big.
The 24th Division set off first and entered from Changde, taking the route of Zhangjiajie, Zunyi, and Bijie to avoid the army assembled by He Tengjiao in Huaihua.
The Taodong Cost Department will remain in Changsha for the time being, waiting for the next batch of logistics materials to arrive, and then fully advance, while attacking Huaihua, Guilin and other places.
Wherever there is a city, you have to go again to clear out the remaining forces of the Ming Dynasty, or to clear out the local armed forces that do not obey Dahua.
Only by clearing those people out, those places can be completely put under the rule of Dahua.
This process is actually quite difficult, at least much more difficult than the plains.
The traffic on the plains is convenient, and those ground-headed snakes dare not arrogant, because the Dahua army can arrive at any time.
But this mountain area is different. The ground snakes and the power of some ethnic minorities are very stubborn.
They knew that the army of the imperial court could not be permanently stationed in these places, so they often surrendered on the surface, waiting for the Dahua army to leave and start making trouble again.
They can even use their familiarity with the terrain to fight guerrilla warfare.
However, Tao Dongcheng and the others didn't need to do too much, and dealt with those who obviously wanted to fight against Dahua.
As for how to strengthen the management and governance of these places, this is a matter for the civil servants.
Even how to manage these multi-ethnic areas in Southwest China is a big issue in itself.
Whether it should follow the previous reforms or adopt a new policy, this Dahua court has yet to decide.
