8days ago Historical fiction 7
Chenzhou, rain, heavy rain poured.There were a vast array of soldiers standing on the school ground outside the city.Zhang Ning on the city wall was also soaked all over, and the rain on his face kept flowing like a shower.

He picked up a bowl of wine, which was mostly filled with rain from the sky, and shouted: Sacrifice to the brothers who died in Changde!

The troops stood solemnly and looked towards the city.

Zhang Ning drank half a bowl under the eyes of the crowd, then poured the remaining half to the ground under the city, and said with a sob: Xu Guang, the deputy commander of the Senate, all the soldiers of the standing army were killed in battle.I saw it with my own eyes that after the official army killed people, they were indignant and ordered to ride horses to trample on the corpse. The heroes' internal organs and brains were covered with blood and flesh. After surrender, officials were forced to kneel down and humiliated and called me. If they didn't call me, they would be slaughtered in public. Is this still something that the Han people can do?After they captured the city, they raped and plundered the barbarians, which was evident in the tyranny of the puppet dynasty; they also threw the military flags we respected on the ground to insult and enjoyed their pleasure.A great shame and humiliation!

After saying that, he threw the bowl on the wall brick, pulled out his sword and pointed it at the sky under the rain, shouting: Fight to the death, annihilate the bandits, take back Changde, collect the corpses for the brothers who died in battle...!..

Regain Changde, regain Changde, Changde, Chang... The army was excited and shouted loudly, and the angry roars echoed among the mountains outside the city.

……

The Northern Army camp has not yet arrived in Changde after the cavalry army, and at this time the group of people at the decision-making level have repeatedly discussed the new strategy for many days.

Yu Qian sat on the chair in the middle of the Changde Senate Office, the chair that Zhang Ning had once sat on. The generals present said: The best time to fight the rebels is to withdraw from Xiangshui to Chenzhou, but unfortunately the fighter plane has passed.At that time, the rebels were not prepared to fight for a long time outside Changde. The food and supplies were exhausted, the weapons were disrepaired, the ammunition was insufficient, and the people were scarce. If they could intercept the decisive battle, they could win.But at the moment, I disagree with the Northern Route Army heading straight for Chenzhou Prefecture City to fight to the decisive battle.

Xue Lu, who was sitting aside, said: I’m sorry, Futai.I think the main rebels' main force on the South Road was not too small, and they were still exhausted after walking so many roads. We took the old nest in Changde again, and many people died, but they lost all the things they made of firearms.We immediately approach Chenzhou. Isn’t this a fighter?It turns out that my army of 50,000, with Changde's great victory, can I still be defeated if I beat him 10,000?

Yu Qian said in a tough tone: How long will it take to approach Chenzhou immediately... At this moment, the rebels are naturally weak. I cannot say that I will not win, but I may not win. As far as I see, there are risks here.This war is related to the rise and fall of the world. It must be foolproof and must not be impatient and ruin major events!

The rebels are in a bad situation at the moment, but there are times when they are even worse. The more time goes on and on.Chenzhou has failed to get a harvest. How did they support more than 10,000 people and more than 2,000 horses robbed from everywhere under the threat of our army?Of course, if we stayed hundreds of miles away, beware of their troops robbing other places, so we had to have a plan.

At this time, someone said: If the rebels simply gave up Changde, then gave up Chenzhou and captured another place again, like the nearby Baoqing Prefecture, would we be following behind?

Yu Qian said coldly: If Zhang Ning really did this, it would be easier to deal with it. What is the difference between him and the bandits?He has no place to operate for a long time, and with the current situation in the world, nothing has happened.Attack Baoqing Prefecture to the south?Then it will be further away from threatening Wuchang... This is OK. We will leave a little more disease in Huguang for a few days. When our main force in Beijing conquers Nanjing to pacify the southeast, the general trend will stabilize. Is the world's greatest land the king's land? Where can a group of bandits go?

Xue Lu sighed: This thief will die without being stiff, so when will the disaster be left?

Yu Qian said: Don’t be greedy for merit, you have the opportunity to seek medical treatment; if the opportunity is not good, you will prevent it from going deep into the five internal organs and becoming a confidant. We have also fulfilled our responsibilities.

After hearing this, Xue Lu finally made a concession and asked again: How should Futai deploy troops?

Yu Qian said: In other words, there are only four words, "like a light on the back", which makes the rebels like a light on the back.We investigated the battle of Yuelu Mountain in the Southern Route Army. The official army could still persist for many days without heavy artillery, firearms and ammunition, and lack of food and grass. We continued to kill and injure the bandits, waiting for the rebels to retreat on their own, summarizing the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and us. Here we will tell you whether it is reasonable to the generals who came to the battle formation in person.The enemy's strength is not the horse soldiers. As long as the official army uses cavalry properly, its actual combat power is not inferior to that of the rebels' horses. Moreover, our cavalry is far greater than that of them. The enemy's strength is its infantry and artillery firearms.

In the infantry formation against the enemy, the rebels' muskets have a long range and strong armor piercing, and they are even more prestigious. Our infantry will collapse on the front.Moreover, its stair formation can resist the charge of horse soldiers, which seems indestructible.In fact, there are two ways to break the enemy: first, there are better heavy artillery, or more dense general artillery, and the terrain is conducive to bombarding the enemy, and then attacking with cavalry, there is a chance to defeat it.Secondly, it occupies a relatively steep and deep highland, and uses fortifications to use heavy arrows to attack the enemy's muskets, which can also be fought. This is also the reason why the Southern Army could hold on to Yuelu Mountain. If they had sufficient arrows at that time, the battle situation would be better; I was condescending to the height of the heavy arrows, and the range of heavy arrows was far less than that of the enemy's muskets. The lead bullets of muskets were shot flat, which had little impact on the high and low terrain; and the shooting speed of bows and arrows was faster than that of muskets, so it was not a big loss to attack the muskets with heavy arrows at a high level.Don't forget that we have a far greater military advantage than the rebels.

Speaking of using weapons and tactics, the generals not only understood but were very interested. Yu Qian continued: Therefore, I have an idea of ​​deploying troops. The main force of the army is along the Yuan River and approaching Chenzhou, and divided into three battalions on the previously selected terrain. The division of troops is because our troops are much larger than the rebels, and the second is to reduce risks. If one battalion is accidentally defeated, we still have three battalions, so we will not be defeated because of this.

The choice of terrain is particularly important, with several key points: First, high ground; second, the place should have width and depth to prevent the main roads being blocked from being blocked from supplying on the mountain; third, there should be water sources, it is best to be close to the Yuanshui River to facilitate waterways and grain channels; fourth, the three places should not be too far apart, which is convenient for front and back support.

In this way, we will not attack; they will not even think about attacking and defeating us, but they will always be under the threat of our army.

If you have famine and poverty, you will be in a dilemma.

However, our army can take Changde as its foundation and continuously obtain supplies of military equipment from the Yuan River or land, and is fearless; when Changde goes out, it is Dongting Lake, which connects the river, and the combat readiness military supplies in the entire Huguang can be transported and transferred.

Our army's camp can also fight flexibly and rotate in time. Fifty thousand troops will take turns to fight, and the cavalry will be flexibly and maneuver to find their weaknesses to attack.Zhang Ning couldn't even control the local area of ​​Chenzhou. In just a few months, the rebels would undoubtedly die, and there was no chance at all.

After hearing this, a fat man stroking his hands and said: It's really non-toxic, no husband.After a moment, I realized that I had said the wrong thing and the words I used were not very good. I hurriedly patted my mouth with my hand, and said a moment of loss, and for a moment of loss.

Yu Qian looked at him coldly and said: If the general could think of how many people would be displaced in the country's turmoil, how many people would be hungry and killed by the roadside; if the general understood the cruel things that had happened during the separatist melee of the dynasties.Then you will know whether someone is poisonous or not!

The fat general's face was embarrassed, his neck was red, and he lowered his head and said: "Super ashamed, but ashamed ashamed."

Yu Qian had no polite words at all. He stood up and brushed his sleeves away from his seat, saying: If you want to discuss it again, sit for a while, and then leave if you don’t want to.

After saying that, he picked up a file, left the hall, and walked into the dilapidated courtyard inside.

There is a study room on the upper room at the end of the corridor. According to the resigned official, it is the place where Zhang Ning handles official documents every day, and he has to sit there for a long time almost every day.

Yu Qian walked over and couldn't help but push the door and walk into the study.

In fact, he admired Zhang Ning from a certain perspective. Zhang Ning left a deep impression on him when they cooperated to go to Beijing from Nanjing. If Wang Jian’s qualifications were compared with Zhang Ning, Yu Qian could see that one was in the sky and the other was underground.

It’s a pity... If you can be an official in the court, like-minded, and cooperate tacitly in your daily life to do important things, and enjoy the flowers and drink in your spare time, it will be a good story for Shilin.

The small study room is very simple, and it can be seen that Zhang Ning is a vulgar person who is extravagant and extremely desireful. He is quiet to cultivate himself and frugal to cultivate virtue. Yu Qian looked at a piece of words on the wall and read it out.

However, the place was clean and almost spotless. Someone must have cleaned up before the government army broke through the city.

The master here can't survive this year, Yu Qian thought confidently.But why do he really want to know about a dying person?

Yu Qian's hand brushed over the books on the bookshelf and looked at the books Zhang Ning usually liked to read.

There were a few pieces of paper next to the bookshelf. Yu Qian picked it up and saw it was a little surprised. It was actually several drafts of articles written by Zhang Ning.

Discussing the pros and cons of the sea?

The commentary means to submit the emperor, and this article may have been a while.

Yu Qian read it carefully and felt that it was quite visionary.

The wording can not only make the emperor happy, but also has substantial insights.

Read it again, Yu Qian learned from it many of Zhang Ning's ideas at that time.

When he wrote this article, he should still be an official: he entered the official position with his fame and reputation, and he did not repay hope for the most important ministers, and did not want to do anything, so he began to draw a blueprint for his career when he first entered the officialdom; and trying to make achievements in the ocean-to-sea trade is not only a beneficial cause, but also a way to create opportunities for himself to be promoted and reused.

Yu Qian thought to himself: It would be great if Zhang Ning really went on like that. This person rebelled was mostly due to Jianwen’s background...

When he learned about his life experience, was he forced to do more helplessness or was he aroused more ambitions?

Perhaps the one who understands Zhang Ning the most is his opponent and enemy.
