Why can only go north? Although Zhou Xiuying is a female general of the army of Qianjun Piyi, she still doesn't understand why Liu Chang can only go north to develop this path? Isn't it possible to go south or west?

Lu Ziyun obviously saw her question and spoke up for her.

First of all, with the terrain of Wenzhou, facing the sea to the east, it can only take a bath in the sea to develop east, while Wenzhou develops southward, is no better than swimming in the sea. This is the northernmost mountainous area of ​​Fujian and the poorest Fuding in the entire Fujian region. The Ningde mountainous area has extremely inconvenient transportation. The military soldiers from Fujian who come to Fuzhou are a tough and hard bone. Pulling the large army into such a mountainous area without oil and water is a completely inferior strategy.

There are only two roads left, westward and northward. To the westward means developing towards Chuzhou. Until today, Chuzhou (Lishui) is still the poorest area in the entire Zhejiang. Pulling the troops out of Wenzhou's fish and rice town and investing in such mountainous areas is also a difficult solution.

Of course, the attack on Chuzhou can also be regarded as a springboard to enter Jinhua Prefecture, but even if it occupied Jinhua Prefecture, it is still far away from Haikou. In this era, only by occupying Haikou can it be invincible to obtain a steady supply of arms.

There is only one road to Taizhou Prefecture to the north. Strictly speaking, this is just a springboard for the development of Ningbo. Taizhou has many poor mountains and bad waters, and its people are tough, which is not a good choice. However, the intersection of hilly plains is not only a benefit of fishing and salt, but also produces grains and fruits along the coastal plains and river valley basins. Even the hills in the mountains can produce miscellaneous grains, which is enough to support tens of thousands of troops.

More importantly, we can use Taizhou as a springboard to march into Ningbo. Ningbo Prefecture is not only located in the Ningshao Plain, but also a real hometown of fish and rice. It can be said to be the essence of the entire Zhejiang, and it is also one of the five trading ports of this era. Controlling Ningbo is equivalent to controlling the foreign trade of the entire Zhejiang, and even supporting an army of 100,000.

And for these old subordinates of the Xiaodao Society, Ningbo has a more special significance: "The Ning Mansion is a good place!"

"Yes! Let's go to Ningbo, we'll be considered a glorious one!"

These people came from Shanghai, and modern Shanghai and Ningbo had a particularly close relationship. Most Shanghai people actually immigrated from Zhejiang, and even modern Shanghai dialect evolved from Ningbo dialect.

The remaining troops of this group of Xiaodao Club are from Fujian and Guangdong, but at most they are from Ningbo. They are particularly enthusiastic when they hear that they want to fight back to their hometown: "If you fight north, you should fight north!"

Zhou Xiuying asked a question: "In addition to fighting north, can we develop locally in Wenzhou?"

This question was asked well, but Liu Chang quickly told her: "Wenzhou Prefecture is not a place to guard, and its land is not enough to be divided. If you want to achieve a career, you must first seek to support the Cang!"

In history, there were only the Zhu brothers of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and later Ding Zhang and Zhang Hui, who later became the ruler of Wenzhou for more than 20 years, and there was no example of Wenzhou separating one place.

What's more, although Panshi Village is now in the center of the Red Turban Army base, it also means there is no room for development. If you want to expand, you have to fight against the Red Turban Army, and then you will fight against the Qing army and the Red Turban Army at the same time. No matter how strong the Panshi Village is in combat, it will eventually be impossible to escape the failure.

In fact, when Liu Chang joined the Red Turban Army, Jin Peiquan's established plan was to fully advance north to take Taizhou, but at that time the Red Turban Army could only control half of Jiangbei. In this case, the northward strategy was the worst.

Now the Red Turban Army has taken all Jiangbei, and there is no worries about advancing north. Liu Chang's capital is too small and he dares to make every effort to fight, but he has made up his mind to advance north.

Lu Ziyun also agreed with this: "If we want to take all Zhejiang, going north is indeed the best strategy. Everyone has enough wine and meals. Thank you for the inspection site to welcome us. But can we borrow the inspection site for another quarter of an hour?"

For just fifteen minutes, Liu Chang was of course free: "No problem! I don't know what Brother Lu has to do!"

Lu Ziyun stood up: "I have no other idea, just check to see my ability to fight in front of the formation, and whether I can borrow a few smoothbore guns from the police."

Liu Chang also became interested: "Okay! From the rifle sent by Demons today, I came with ten flintlocks, which also opened my eyes!"

It only took a quarter of an hour for Lu Ziyun. When the rifle actually arrived at the wall, more than five minutes had passed. However, Lu Ziyun said calmly: "Check it out, if you guard this wall, how should you guard it?"

Liu Chang laughed: "Last month, a large number of soldiers came to Wenzhou City to besiege Panshi Village. Our army defended like a rock and defeated the Qing army!"

He briefly mentioned the specific deployment at that time, but Lu Ziyun had a different view: "Check, your method was to defend the city wall with all your might, but the defense line was too thin. Brothers, let Check see our skills!"

While speaking, Xiaodaohui and his old subordinates had found their own hiding place and set up all the borrowed flintlock rifles. Liu Chang took a look at their deployment. It was considered a wild way, but it was also very concise.

Lu Ziyun pointed to a building behind him and said, "Check, I will open the brick wall here to hide a cannon. If there are grape bullets, it's best!"

Liu Chang didn't care at first, but after a closer look at the village wall, he found that the cannon was facing the direction of the Qing army's attack at that time. The Qing army would climb the city wall here, and then Lu Ziyun's cannon used grape bullets to sweep the vanguard of the Qing army's climbing the wall.

Then Lu Ziyun continued, "The number of Qing Demons coming up will not be many. After the sound of gunfire is released, it is time for Miss Xiu to lead the team to fight back. Even if a section of the city wall is thrown away, it will be fine!"

Next, he talked about how to organize the firepower, how to dig anti-aircraft fortifications, how to lay caltrops under the city walls, how to dig traps, how to implement a backlash, and how to organize counterattacks, and how to organize counterattacks, and said in a lingering manner: "In the Battle of the North Gate, this is how we fight back the French soldiers."

Liu Chang was just listening casually at first, but the more he listened, the more excited he became, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, very good!"

Although it is a wild path that has been fought in actual combat and there are many mistakes, it is the essence of Xiaodao's experience that will stick to Shanghai City for 17 months, especially the combat organization in street fighting, which is even more eye-catching.

As for the more than 20 old subordinates of Xiaodaohui, they are indeed different from ordinary civilian armed forces. These flintlock guns are used very skillfully, and the offense and defense rhythm changes very quickly. Although they directly gave up on the city wall, even if twice the Qing army came to launch an attack, they still suffered a great loss in their hands.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, but Liu Chang was watching the exercises with a look of spring breeze. Especially the fortifications built by Xiaodaohui's old subordinates in a hurry, as well as shooting training using fortifications, and the coordination between the insurgents and cannons, it is definitely the best in China in this time and space.

The next exercise still made him shine. Zhou Xiuying demonstrated the action of leading the team out of the city to counterattack. Although it was a wild way of not undergoing professional training, it was still remarkable. Duncan next to him also spoke in a professional tone: "Although his tactical level is not as good as the US-Mexico War I participated in, this is the best Chinese army I have ever seen!"

The final live-fire shooting results were also very good. Xiaodaohui's old subordinate was indeed a unit that had been in the rest of his life. Liu Chang felt like he was a tiger with wings: "Okay! I'll give you a 30-row flintlock rifle, and I'll send the additional troops here later. You'll be a whistle!"

With so many veterans with rich practical experience and familiarity with Western firearms, they can form a whistle with strong combat effectiveness with just a little training.

Zhou Xiuying immediately gave Liu Chang a big gift: "I hope to die if I serve the test!"

The veteran of Xiaodaohui below also said enthusiastically: "Check it out, we are all willing to follow you to create a country!"

Liu Chang's idea of ​​fighting back to Ningbo was very consistent with their willingness to return home in glory. Liu Chang shouted loudly: "Okay! Then from today on, we will be our own family!"

Lu Ziyun next to Zhou Xiuying whispered: "Please check and give him a name!"

Zhou Xiuying reacted, knelt on the ground with her knees and slashed the saber flat on the ground: "Please check and give her a name!"

Liu Changxin felt something: "Niu Dao Whistle is called Niu Dao Whistle!"

The meaning of this name is of course "Why use a bullock knife to kill a chicken?" As for those enemies who were hit by a bullock whistle, they are the bullock chickens killed by a bullock knife.

Zhou Xiuying and others were old subordinates of the Xiaodao Society. When they heard the word "小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小无小�

However, this magnificent whistle, which was established in advance, has become the biggest regret of the Jinshuowei adapted from the reserve team.
