In order to ensure the landing of Tianjin Wei, the Ming Dynasty will dispatch eleven large warships from the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet this time. Except for the South China Sea Fleet, the three second-level battleships remain unmoved for the time being, all the other second-level and third-level battleships will be dispatched.

In addition to these eleven large warships, there are also transport ships, that is, nine new naval transport ships transformed from treasure ships. These huge transport ships will be responsible for carrying the transportation tasks of the Guoyi regiment and the Zhaowu regiment, and the infantry of nearly a thousand people.

In addition, there are more than 60 other small and medium-sized warships. The total number is as high as more than 80, although this number does not seem to be too large, you should know that the current Ming Navy ships are different from before, and are only several times more powerful than before.

This huge fleet will carry out the first modern landing operation in Chinese history and will also completely change the future state of war.

When Zhang Zhao received this order, his blood was boiling, and his mood was difficult to suppress himself for a while.

Although he had guessed that the real target of the Ming army would not be North Korea, he never expected that the Ming Dynasty would attack in this way. As a soldier, he was also an officer of the new army. Zhang Zhao had good military qualities and had a certain military vision. Once Tianjin Wei was taken down by the Ming army, what this would mean, Zhang Zhao naturally knew very well.

"Zhang Zhao got the order!" Zhang Zhao raised his chest and replied loudly, his eyes full of brilliance.

"Haha, I'll just say that this kid must be very happy when he heard this news." Dong Dashan pointed at Zhang Zhao with a smile.

"Nonsense, if it weren't for you, you would have laughed so hard that your mouth was crooked? What a pity, it's a pity that your current official is too big. When you asked you to change it with me, you just didn't listen to my advice. Look, I regret it now, right?" Lin Jianzhang joked, Wang Dong and Zhuang Yan next to him laughed at the same time.

As the main force of the new army landing in Tianjin Wei, Lin Jianzhang is now extremely proud. What does this battle mean? What does it mean? How can a soldier not be clear about how to command such an army to carry out such a battle, which is not only a glory, but also a strong mark in history. Lin Jianzhang has been withstanding for so many days and finally waited for this opportunity. How can he not be excited?

Not to mention Lin Jianzhang, Dong Dashan's heart is the same. Once the Tianjin defense tactics are successful, then the Ming Dynasty will be able to go straight to the Qing court's nest. If Beijing can be captured, the world will be completely changed. It can be said that a battle will determine the world, which is not a false statement.

"Okay, you guys go back and prepare well, don't lose my face!" After making a few jokes with Dong Dashan, Lin Jianzhang became serious and ordered Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao respectfully saluted everyone, and then left with big stances.

After Zhang Zhao left, the four of them sat down separately and began to discuss the upcoming war. In order to ensure smooth command, especially the landing war, Zhu Yicheng specially ordered the frontier command to be directly set up on Chongming Island, and the four of them formed a joint command center, among which Lin Jianzhang was responsible for the army, Wang Dong was responsible for the navy, Zhuang Yan was responsible for the planning and coordination of the counselor, and Dong Dashan was in the center as the commander-in-chief.

When the landing war began, Wang Dong first was responsible for using naval guns to open up the landing road for the army. Then, the army vanguard, that is, the two regiments and some infantry troops led by Zhang Zhao, captured Dagukou at the fastest speed. After taking Dagukou, the landing troops needed to advance quickly and occupy Tianjin Guards in the shortest time.

As long as Tianjin guards, the vanguard troops will be stationed on the spot, and the command will be divided into two from Chongming, half will be moved to Tianjin guards, and the other half will continue to be responsible for the subsequent troops' transportation and supplies in Chongming.

Simply put, this is the general plan of military use in the early stage, and now it is not a matter of subsequent consideration. The most important thing is to land in and seize power in Tianjin Wei. As long as the Tianjin Wei is captured, the initial goal of the Ming army can be achieved, and then the subsequent tactics can be carried out.

In order to ensure that the landing war is foolproof, the Ming Dynasty has been preparing for several months. Now even Zhu Yicheng has sent all technical officials such as the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor, the Wushi Lingtailang, and the Wushi Baozhangzheng to Zhuang Yan to help the General Staff observe astronomical phenomena and calculate tides.

According to the forecast of officials of the Imperial Heaven Supervision Bureau, the weather from the East China Sea to Tianjin Wei in seven days is most suitable for navigation, and this good weather will last for more than half a month, which is the best time to carry out the landing war. This is also the main reason why Zhu Yicheng decided to set this time seven days later. With the determination of time, the Ming Dynasty war machine began to start, and at this moment, the Qing court in the north still knew nothing about it.

Tianjin Wei, this place was built in the second year of Yongle. Chengzu named this place Tianjin, which means the ferry crossing that the emperor passed by. After the city was first established, a guard was set up, so it was called Tianjin Wei.

Afterwards, Tianjin Left Guard and Tianjin Right Guard were gradually added, which echoed the earliest Tianjin Wei left and right to form a Pin structure. Later, Tianjin Wei gradually expanded, and the city walls were initially changed to brick. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the three guards in Tianjin had basically been connected. After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the three guards in Tianjin were officially merged, and they were only called Tianjin Wei until today.

Although Tianjin Wei is still called Wei, it has actually become a city, not a military institution like the ones it was established. The Qing court has already dispatched local officials to carry out daily management, and the initial military towns have been gradually reduced. Although Tianjin Wei is called Tianjin Town to the outside world, it is actually only half a town of people and its troops are not strong. In addition to the special situation of Tianjin Wei, Tianjin Town is not stationed in Tianjin Wei. In addition to the General Office and Tianjin Guard Camp, Tianjin Town has a battalion in Dagukou and Hejian. In addition, there are also four Dangkou, Zhengjiakou, Jingzhou and other ten places. Judging from the arrangement of its troops, the troops are scattered and are mainly used to prevent local areas.

These are all information sent by the Jinyiwei. In the command center located on Chongming Island, the Tianjinwei's large sand table also marked the location and military strength of these battalions. It can be seen that the details of Tianjinwei have no secrets in Daming's eyes, and everything is clear and clear.

"The Jinyiwei did a good job this time, I really don't know how these things were made." Zhuang Yan inserted the last small flag representing the Qing army onto the designated target. After looking at the already arranged sand table, he couldn't help but praise him.

"Don't underestimate Zhang Ran, this guy. If you don't have any skills, the emperor wouldn't be so valuable. No wonder the emperor was so confident at the time. It turned out that the Jinyiwei had already figured out the situation. With these things in it, you'd be more confident in fighting the Tianjinwei!"

Dong Dashan smiled and Wang Dong nodded with satisfaction. In addition to the troops arrangement in Tianjin Town, there is also the situation in the surrounding waters of Tianjin Guard on this sand table, including where there are reefs and where there are trends. Even the arrangement of the fortresses and cannons at Dagukou is clear. The Jinyiwei has really put in the effort this time.

After setting up the sand table, everyone began to deduce, Dong Dashan served as the guard, Wang Dong and Lin Jianzhang served as the attacking party, and Zhuang Yan presided over and judged the results. For the deduction, everyone used all their skills. In order to be authentic and reliable, they should know that this is the most important part of ensuring the landing operation plan. Only in this way can various problems be avoided and corresponding preparations and adjustments are made.

Time flies quickly, and six days have passed in a blink of an eye. Tomorrow is the day to officially go on the expedition. Although Zhang Zhao and other middle- and senior officers already know the goal, the news about the troops below are still blocked, which is still an arrangement to ensure that the landing war does not leak secrets.

But no matter where the target is, the new army, or the unit awarded the title of Guards' Protector, is highly morale, especially the two units of the Guoyi regiment and the Zhaowu regiment. When they learned that they were vanguards, the soldiers of the two regiments cheered and even wished they could grow wings to fly over the sea and throw themselves into the battlefield.

That night, the entire barracks rested early, because tomorrow was the day of boarding, and the army canceled half a day of daily training for the first time to let the soldiers be fully energetic.

But at this time, Zhang Zhao was still not asleep. He was patrolling the military camp as usual. Whether it was a post, a horse or other, he strictly inspected according to the regulations. This was a habit he had developed long ago and it still had not changed the night before the expedition.

"Old Zhang!" After a while, Zhang Zhao was about to walk back when he met Jia Cheng, the leader of the Zhaowu Group who was also inspecting him. The two regiments were basically connected in a large area. In the past, they often encountered both sides during inspections, but most of them just nodded slightly after meeting, but this time Jia Cheng took the initiative to walk towards Zhang Zhao.

"I haven't fallen asleep yet?" Zhang Zhao and Jia Cheng saluted each other and asked.

"You are not the same either." Jia Cheng smiled and continued, "I'm going to set off tomorrow. I can't feel relieved if I don't take a look."

Nodded, Zhang Zhao patted his shoulder: "In this battle, you and my brothers are united in unity and will definitely achieve great achievements. By the way, everything is fine for your brothers below."

"Don't worry about this, but Lao Zhang, there is a saying that I can say in front of you. When the fight comes, don't throw me behind you. You are the deputy commander now. Don't forget to leave a bite of soup for your brother after eating meat, otherwise I won't accept it!"

"Bah! With your virtue, you will be unlucky if I dare to do that? Don't worry, they are all your brothers, and you will be rewarded!"

Hearing Zhang Zhao's promise, Jia Cheng immediately grinned. The two of them didn't talk much, and they separated after a few simple words.
Chapter completed!
