Chapter 750 New Territory Strategy Lesson (Two-in-One Chapter)
Not long after Da Shu left, Shu Da and Xue Tu were summoned to the government office. They had both left the Han tribe for a while, so they were very happy to see Luo Chong, but they did not forget the etiquette.
Because they were both military officers for the time being, they also performed the military officer's one-kneel salute, bowing in front of Luo Chong, saying in unison: "Greetings, Chief."
"Get up, do you know why I called you here this time?" Luo Chong waved his hand casually, gave the two of them a fake hand, and then asked directly to the point.
"Well, I heard that the chief has invented something good again. Is he here to change our clothes this time?" Shu Da asked tentatively.
"The leader called me and Commander Shu together. Is he going to attack the Xin tribe?"
Compared to Shu Da, Xue Tu seemed a little excited. In the previous grassland battle, his Tiger Guards didn't get any battles. They fired a few shots at the beginning, and the frontal charge was done by Qianniu Guards. In the later pursuit stage, before he could catch up with the enemy, the front was already crippled by Shu Da's gunboats. He led the Tiger Guards to pick up scraps and collect surrendered soldiers in the back, and he had been holding back a lot of energy in his heart.
After the war, the leader transferred him to Takumi County and gave him 10,000 surrendered soldiers for training. He knew that there would be more battles to fight. In addition, with the arrival of Shu Da's Fubo Fleet, it was self-evident where this expanded new army's target was.
Xue Tu had been working hard to train his troops, hoping to get the leader's order to go to the front line of Zhudao to fight as soon as possible. This time, when he saw Luo Chong calling him and Shu Da together, he immediately felt that there was a chance.
Luo Chong smiled at the two and said, "You two said all of them."
"All of them?!" Shu Da and Xue Tu said in unison.
"That's right." Luo Chong waved his hand and asked the two to sit down around a conference table before continuing.
"This time, one is to change your clothes, and the other is to reorganize the new army and divide your tasks. In addition, three days later, I will hold a military parade in Takuhai County. Many people will be invited to participate. Don't embarrass our Han tribe then."
"Military parade?! Oh, okay, please rest assured, leader." Xue Tu was happy to hear the words "change clothes" and "assign tasks". He didn't expect the leader to suddenly say military parade again. But hey, he is very good at showing force.
"Well, it's good that you have confidence. Come, take a look at this first. The reorganization plan and task division are all on it." Luo Chong said, and then spread a detailed military map on the conference table.
Shu Da and Xue Tu took a look and widened their eyes in shock.
"Is this Zhudao?!" The two said in shock at the same time.
They couldn't help but be shocked, because the things on the map in front of them were indeed something they had never seen before.
The most important thing is that the terrain, river channels, and population distribution on it are basically the same as the Zhudao they know, but there are many differences. For example,
on the administrative division map above, the Zhudao they are familiar with is divided into six regions, or six counties. The word "county" is a unique administrative unit of the Han tribe. Now the leader has taken a map and divided the Zhudao of the Xin tribe into six counties. Its meaning is self-evident.
The territory at the northwest end of Zhudao, which is the current political and cultural center of the Xin tribe, where the Xin leader and the elders gather, was named Jiahai County by Luo Chong. The name comes from the dark bridge connecting the mainland, which means to hold up the sky and bridge the sea. After the Han tribe occupies Zhudao in the future, this cross-sea bridge must be built.
The long strip of coastal area south of Zhudao was named Guanhai County. This place will be the forward base of the Han tribe with an eye on the ocean. In the future, the Han tribe will definitely go further. In addition, it is named because of its pleasant climate.
There is a saying that faces the sea and the flowers bloom in spring. Guanhai County is such a place where it is spring all year round. Moreover, there are few reefs and many beaches along the coast. According to the modern tourism seascape classification, it is no problem to call Guanhai County a first-class beach. There are both golden sand and white sand here. The sand is fine and clean, there are no reefs, and it is not painful. It is definitely a good place for tourism.
The northern coastal area of Zhudao is just the opposite. This is the opposite side of the mainland across the strait. There are many reefs along the coast, and basically no beaches can be seen. The water level along the coast is also very deep, but the reefs here are also extraordinary. There are many naturally formed reef "terraces".
When the tide is high, the seawater will automatically pour into the terraces. When the tide is low, the seawater will gradually evaporate. The evaporated high-salinity seawater in the terraces will gradually descend along the terraces. When they converge at the bottom, they have become saturated brine. Finally, after being exposed to the sun, they become salt for human and animal survival.
This is a very important main production area of sea salt in Zhudao, so it was named Xianfeng County by Luo Chong.
The northeast corner of Zhudao, which is the current location of the mission, includes the indigenous fishing tribes of Zhudao and the Yashan area where the indigenous people who make a living by fishing and hunting live. This area was divided into Yashan County by Luo Chong. The name is named after the famous Yashan in the local area. There is nothing special about it, but a fishing port can be built here in the future to develop Zhudao's marine fisheries.
The southeast corner of Zhudao is also the most prominent part of the entire Zhudao on the east side. It is the first place to greet the sunrise every day, so it was named Chaoyang County by Luo Chong.
Chaoyang County is nothing special. There are few local indigenous people. Even for the Xin tribe, it is a piece of undeveloped wasteland.
You should know that the original population of the Xin tribe was just over 100,000, and they had no ability to develop such a place. There were also many wastelands on Zhudao Island, so Chaoyang County had no special products so far. However, whether there were any or not still needed to be developed by the Han tribe. It was hard to say now, but we would just
make an administrative division first. Finally, there was the central area of Zhudao Island, where the food tribe under the Xin tribe was located. There were mountains, water, plains, and fertile land. It was the main grain production area of Zhudao Island and the place with the largest population distribution on Zhudao Island. It was undoubtedly a county with great strategic value. Therefore
, this place was named Xinhua County by Luo Chong. Xinhua County means the latest territory to be returned to the king. The name Xinhua County was chosen to let the local natives always remember that they were already people of the Han tribe, and the Xin tribe had become a thing of the past.
Luo Chong was brainwashing them with this place name.
This was undoubtedly a new map. Whether it was the mountains, rivers, hydrology, geography, or the distribution of population and other resources, it was more detailed than any Zhudao map that Shu Da and Xue Tu had seen. It was no exaggeration to say that the Xin tribe itself probably did not have such a detailed Zhudao map.
More importantly, this is a piece of territory of the Han tribe, and their leader has regarded this place as the territory of the Han tribe.
Xue Tu's blood boiled. Looking at the map in front of him, he seemed to have seen himself leading the army to expand the territory on Zhudao Island. This was a great achievement.
"Chief, when are we going to start the battle? I will definitely scare them to death with our artillery." Shu Da was more direct. He probably had a great time firing artillery a while ago, and he was itching to do it again after not firing for a few days.
"Don't worry, let's reorganize the new army first. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. With elite soldiers, are you afraid that you can't defeat a mere Xin tribe?"
Luo Chong said with a smile, and then raised his hand and clapped twice. Immediately, a guard in brocade and silver armor came in with a box in both hands.
"Chief." The guard put the box on the table in front of Luo Chong.
"Well, you can leave first."
Luo Chong nodded, and after the guard left, he opened the box. Inside was a pile of silver seals. On the square base were small sculptures of various animals or soldiers. At first glance, it looked like a chess set.
Rat Da and Xue Tu both knew this thing, because they each had one. This was the seal representing the military power of the commander of the guards, but the leader actually took out so many at once! It really surprised them.
Luo Chong took out the seals one by one and placed the corresponding seals on the Zhudao map, while introducing the meaning of the seals to the two.
He first picked up a seal with cavalry and war horses engraved on it. The war horses stood up, neighing with angry eyes, and the knights behind them were wearing heavy armor, with lances shining in their hands. Apart from other things, the casting technology of this seal is unique, and the images of people and war horses are vivid.
Luo Chong placed it directly on the location of Xinhua County on the Zhudao map and said to the two.
"This is the newly formed Xiaoqi Guard, which is mainly composed of lance cavalry and bow cavalry. There are 2,500 people, 5,000 war horses, and one person has two horses. They are stationed in Xinhua County. Among the new troops trained by you, those with excellent riding skills will be reorganized.
Xinhua County has many hills and plains, and the area is vast, but it is flat and suitable for large-scale cavalry maneuvers. If you use infantry guards, this amount of troops will definitely not be able to manage it, so the guards stationed here must not only be able to fight, but also be able to run."
After saying this, Luo Chong picked up another seal with a crossbow-holding armored soldier and placed it on the mountainous position on the north side of Guanhai County, and said to the two again.
"This is the Xiangjian Guard. There are 2,500 soldiers in total, all infantry, of which 1,500 are archers as the main force, 400 spearmen and shieldmen, 100 cavalry scouts, and 100 logistics personnel. They are mainly stationed in Guanhai County. Guanhai County is
backed by mountains and jungles in the north. It is the territory of the hunting tribe under the Xin tribe. The local natives are good at hunting, and the terrain is all mountainous jungles. Large groups of cavalry and infantry cannot be deployed. On the contrary, archers are more advantageous in such terrain. Therefore, Xiangjian Guard is stationed here to prevent local natives from rebellion."
Xue Tu and Shu Da nodded after listening. Combining the local geographical features and the distribution characteristics of population power, the leader did a much better job than them in allocating troops reasonably. Many things that they could not think of were thought of by the leader in advance.
The two soon realized that the leader was not just simply assigning tasks, but also teaching them lessons, personally imparting strategic knowledge of arranging troops and arrays. This is not a class that everyone is qualified to listen to, so the two could not help but pay full attention to the lecture.
Luo Chong picked up another seal with a giant bear, placed it on the territory of Jiahai County, and explained again.
"This is Feixiong Guard, with a total of 3,000 soldiers, mainly spearmen, shieldmen and crossbowmen, all heavy armored infantry, and a small number of cavalry. The personnel are also selected from the new army you have trained, and the elite soldiers are supplemented.
I want Feixiong Guard to be a capable army, because their main attack and garrison direction is the current central area of Xin Tribe, which is also where their commander-in-chief and elders are located. It must be the place where the resistance is most intense, so this unit must be particularly capable of fighting.
I will take care of the weapons and equipment, all of which are the best, but you have to select the people for me, I just want them to be obedient and able to fight, do you understand?"
After Luo Chong finished speaking, he looked at Xue Tu, who was responsible for training the new army, which immediately doubled his pressure and made him sweat on his forehead.
"I understand, but Chief, you have only arranged three places, and you have already allocated 8,000 people. The troops I have are not enough. The gap is huge. Do you think you can add a batch of new soldiers?"
"Don't worry about this. I have other arrangements." Luo Chong said simply. The 10,000 new soldiers in Xue Tu's hands are definitely not enough, but as for the other soldiers, there will naturally be someone to help Luo Chong. Now is not the time, so he won't say anything.
Then, Luo Chong took out a gray wolf seal with its feet on the waves, placed it on the position of Xianfeng County and said.
"This is the Sea Wolf Guard. There are 2,000 of them, mainly heavy armored infantry, half of them are archers, and a quarter are halberd soldiers and sword and shield soldiers. They are mainly stationed in Xianfeng County.
The land here is highly saline and alkaline. Apart from sea salt, the grain production has always been low, and it cannot support so many troops, so there are only 2,000 people. However, the local salt tribe has made a living by drying salt for generations, and the people are tough and not afraid of war.
The pressure on Sea Wolf County will be greater, but it can form a horn with the Cavalry Guard in the neighboring Xinhua County. From this perspective, the two guards have a total of 4,500 people, which is enough to meet the defense needs from a macro perspective."
Xue Tu's eyes suddenly lit up, with an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face, and he asked tentatively.
"So the leader put the most elite cavalry in the central area of Zhudao, which is rich in resources. This is not only to support the cavalry, but also to allow the cavalry to occupy the most advantageous strategic location. With their super mobility, no matter which direction has problems, the Cavalry Guards in the middle can quickly provide support in all directions.
In this way, although there is only one guard stationed in the corners of Zhudao, if the Cavalry Guards' mobile support is added, it means that all corners have two troops stationed at the same time.
Moreover, in the most strategically valuable central area, although there is only one cavalry stationed on the surface, there is actually a circle of heavy armored infantry surrounding it. Even if something happens to Xinhua County in the middle, the guards on all sides can kill Judgment with a thunderbolt.
Is this the leader's layout?"
Hearing Xue Tu's analysis, Luo Chong couldn't help but smile with relief.
"Haha, not bad, I haven't finished the layout yet, and you have already seen my overall strategic layout. Not bad, not bad, you have made progress and can draw inferences from one example."
