Yuguan City.
Recently, the offensive of the imperial army has noticeably weakened.
The stalemate at the front has lasted for nearly a month, and the imperial army has launched nearly thirty attacks, each of which has ended in failure and heavy casualties.
Despite the fact that the imperial army mobilized many civilians as cannon fodder, it could not change the outcome of the defeat.
Especially recently, the surrounding people have either fled or run away, and there are almost no more free cannon fodder left.
But things are different in Yuguan City.
After the start of spring, communication between Dongning and Liaodong and Yuguan City became smoother.
The Dongning Manufacturing Bureau produced flintlock muskets, artillery, grenades, and other supplies, which were continuously supplied to Dongning.
With ample logistical supplies, He Chaojun's Shenji Army opened fire even more recklessly.
After a month of continuous bombing, the open fields outside Yuguan City were riddled with craters.
The corpses left here were moldy and smelly, making it look like a living hell!
Fortunately, Yuguan City remains safe and sound!
Li Xin was completely at ease about Yuguan City!
Li Xin was even happier today.
Because of the special forces unit he led, a lot of good news came from them.
"Your Highness, look!"
Holding the document in his hand, Zhao Bingzhang smiled and said, "This Gu Shisan is really flexible and adaptable. He actually organized a militia near Changli County and won over the people. He's quite the talent! With so many people's assistance, no wonder he was able to take Changli County!"
I reckon it won't be long before that kid Gu Shisan has taken over the entire Changli County!
Mr. Zhao,
He Chaojun said, "Look here, the militia is also spreading to the nearby prefectures and counties. This is a good trend!"
"If things go well behind us, the pressure on us here will be greatly reduced!"
"Yes, yes!"
Zhao Bingzhang chuckled and said, "If these militia members continue to grow stronger, we might even be able to swallow up the entire imperial army outside Yuguan City!"
"But that also requires weapons and equipment!"
He Chaojun's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Li Xin, saying, "Your Highness, I think this is a good idea!"
We can continue to select a group of key personnel to go to the vicinity of Changli County, and armed militia members, and strive to form a force in the vicinity of Changli County.
We'll send another batch of weapons and equipment over, and then we'll stab the enemy in the back with a steel knife.
"With them constantly threatening the rear and flanks of the imperial army at Yuguan City, we have a chance to defeat them!"
"Uh-huh!"
Li Xin nodded and said, "That's a really good idea!"
At this moment, Li Xin was still immersed in the news reported by Gu Shisan and the others.
The actions of Gu Shisan and his group in the Changli County area did resemble an expansion of guerrilla warfare.
They took root in the countryside, won over the people, and formed a militia.
Through gradual armed struggle, a powerful army will eventually be built up on the mainland!
It does resemble later generations in some ways!
Moreover, such tactics and strategies can be used flexibly.
It can be used near Changli County.
Then the provinces of Daiyue, Heluo, Zhili, Hedong, and even Jiangnan and Huaibei can naturally also use it!
learn by analogy!
As long as we send a large number of talented people to these places to form militia teams, we can insert steel knives into the heart of the enemy and bleed them dry.
Even a behemoth like the Great Gan Kingdom couldn't withstand such a small amount of bloodshed.
One day, the Great Gan Society will be worn down and killed!
It seems that training militia and special forces personnel is a very good idea!
Li Xin secretly made up his mind that this matter must be continued!
Thinking it over, Li Xin looked at Zhao Bingzhang, He Chaojun and the others in front of him and said, "I think this method is very good."
Now that Gu Shisan and his group have controlled most of the area of Changli County, they can take some time to build a dock on the coast of Changli County.
We transported supplies to them from Yuguan City.
Additionally, they could transport some civilians to Yuguan City to avoid any future worries.
"As for the construction troops,"
Li Xin thought for a while and said, "This can also be done. We can transfer some junior officers from the Divine Martial Army, the Divine Valiant Army and other units to Changli County to build the foundation of the new troops and recruit local people to form a new force."
Once the new unit is formed, it will be able to assist the special forces and also threaten the rear of the imperial army at Yuguan City—a win-win situation, excellent!
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"
Liu Zheng and the others quickly responded.
"This is the power of the people's will!"
Zhao Bingzhang exclaimed, "Your Highness, it seems we must continue to win the hearts of the people and not let them down!"
In my opinion, we should use other people's money to win the hearts and minds of the people!
"oh?"
Li Xin asked, "How exactly do you mean by being generous with other people's money?"
"It's very simple."
Zhao Bingzhang said with a smile, "We haven't entered the inland provinces yet, but we can issue orders!"
For example, in the vicinity of Changli County, we can offer preferential treatment and benefits to those who join the militia.
We will issue an order through the Prince Xin's Mansion, calling on the local people to resist taxes, rents, and levies.
As a result, the imperial court's tax revenue decreased, leaving it with less money and grain to levy taxes on us.
We can also exempt the local area from taxes for five years!
