Authoritarianism means that one person can start a war by sitting in the room and saying a word.
Zhang Ning sat in a wheelchair and said something to Zhu Heng. Liang Yan, Wei Bin and others outside the door listened, so they decided to make a decision to increase troops to Jiujiang Prefecture.
No meeting is needed, and the decision-making power is completely in the hands of one person; there are many times when a staff gathers together to discuss, but it is just brainstorming for the final decision.
Such a dictatorship is working well at the moment.
Xiangwang Group is in a steady rise stage, and its strength is rapidly expanding predictably; usually interest groups are very centripetal during the rise period, and many problems can be digested by the expanded wealth and strength, and members consciously or unconsciously play a positive role in common goals.
Zhang Ning's unique character also embellished the essence of dictatorship.
His usual attitude was humble and gentle, which was quite consistent with the gentleman's tastes of scholars and officials. Zhu Heng and Liang Yan and others have been comforted by Zhang Ning's words and deeds and skills many times. Everyone would like to see a dictator have such a posture; of course, all this is based on a series of comprehensive forces such as prestige, achievement, identity, and strength.
With Zhang Ning's character, he would rather see the people below obey willingly than through threats and intimidation.
Biological instinctively felt awe of powerful things. Although Wei Bin and others outside the door were not in sight, they could be concluded that they were all standing respectfully and would never show disrespect...
Anyone who has achieved success in defeating more than five times the enemy several times in a row, and after the rapid expansion of the territory and rapidly expands its power, it will easily establish authority.
The main force of Yongding Camp dispatched this time is controlled by Zhu Heng, and Zhang Ning will not leave Wuchang City.
He jumped out of the pavilion in the fire and had a fractured right leg. Although it was not too serious, it was impossible to recover after one or two months.
Someone made a wheelchair with wooden wheels, but it could not move by itself like a modern wheelchair. It needed someone to help you implement it...
It's a bit similar to the small car that Zhuge Kongming was riding in.
With such physical condition, Zhang Ning felt that he would become a burden to the army, so he simply handed over the power to Zhu Heng.
The Senate Department has begun to work on many military transfers, sending people to contact the garrison of Jiujiang Prefecture, preparing supplies, food and grass, etc.
It is planned to dispatch the third division of the First Army, Second Army and Third Army of Yongding Camp.
After the reorganization of the Zhuque Army, the battalion was larger than the army, with one battalion building four armies; the first army was divided into three posts (three divisions of the battalion branch management organization), and the following posts were the brigades.
However, after the expansion of the system, the number of soldiers did not have time to replenish the full amount. The number of troops in the Yongding Camp in Jiujiang Prefecture was only more than 7,000, and the additional cavalry regiment was 2,000; the number of soldiers and strong men and horses was recruited and mobilized.
There is nothing to keep in mind about military operations. Emperor Jianwen ordered local officials along the way to prepare food, supplies and strong men, which are well known to passers-by; the soldiers and horses gathered outside Wuchang City, and the noise of the artillery test was as loud as thunder, and soldiers could be seen everywhere on the road.
This time, the large-scale equipment of the Vermilion Bird Army was replaced by a bird gun, equipped with more than 30 heavy long-barrel field cannons. The gun body weighed nearly a thousand kilograms, mainly copper and cast iron, and it fired solid iron balls weighing seven to eight kilograms. The wooden rangefinder and gun gauges have also been slightly modified and improved.
However, the marching route was too long and the troops could not be put on the battlefield in time as expected.At the end of the first lunar month, Yongding Camp was still halfway through, and it was known that Jiujiang City was captured by the government army.
Previously, Nanjing first transferred the navy from Poyang Lake to the Yangtze River, but was defeated by the navy from the imperial government's army from all over the country. The Han King's navy suffered heavy losses and retreated back to the mouth of Poyang Lake in a hurry.
Then the imperial court's Shenji Camp crossed the river in large numbers from a ferry that was almost unprepared, and another small-scale battle occurred on the banks of the river, defeating the Han Wang army that came to block the Jiujiang Prefecture.
A few days later, the three armies of Shenjiying captured Wuchang City.Then a group of troops transferred from Nanzhili crossed the mouth of Poyang Lake and fought against Shenji Camp, but was defeated.
The observer of the Zhuque Army envoy in Jiujiang Prefecture reported a reply, which described the battle situation in Jiujiang Prefecture.
The Han Wangjun was unable to use the firearm formation and was hit in the front by the three-stage attack formation of the Shenji Camp.
The article briefly describes the three-section attack tactics of Shenji Camp, which are very different from the formation of the Suzaku Army.
The firearm array of Shenji Camp is mainly deployed in a linear series. The first row is responsible for volleying fire. After the shooting, the convex gun is handed over to the soldiers in the second row to exchange the loaded firearms; the second row handed over the empty guns to the third row to exchange the loaded firearms; the third row loaded ammunition.
In this cycle, the infantry in the first row are only responsible for firing and not loading, and the death is compensated by the person behind.
The division of labor is clear and the military discipline is purged. They are all military households who have experienced many battles, and the formation and tactics they use are not much different from before.
No wonder the Han Wang Army was not an opponent. Most of the troops fighting in Jiujiang Prefecture were from local military households, and there were few people who had used firearms. From generals to soldiers, they were not familiar with this new tactic, and they were unable to train tactics to adapt to the battlefield.
Most of the Han King's army who came from Nanzhili had to be forced to return to Hukou after the defeat of the front army; the official army was attacked by the Xiang King's army Yongding camp when Ruichang City was west, and was restrained to the western front, so the Han King's reinforcements escaped the catastrophe.
In early February, the main force of Yongding Camp occupied Ruichang City west of Jiujiang City.
Zhu Heng decided to quickly defeat the Shenji Camp in front and recover Jiujiang Prefecture; in the hope of removing the imperial army's stronghold on the south bank before most of the Jing Camp reached the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Zhu Heng sent a secret envoy to Hukou area in advance to contact the main force of the Han King's reinforcements, reach a temporary alliance to jointly deal with the official army of Jiujiang Prefecture.
Then use Ruichang City as the base camp to prepare for battle with the government troops.
The three armies of Shenji Camp have about 30,000 people, and the main force that crossed the Yangtze River is not 30,000 or 20,000.
Zhu Heng did not want to take the initiative to attack the city, as Shenji Camp would have the advantage of the territory when fighting against the city; of course, he was not willing to confront Shenji Camp in Ruichang City, and delaying time was not good, so Zhu Heng intended to find an opportunity to fight in the field.
The strategy he formulated was to advance to the Yangtze River Ferry with the main force and make an attitude of cutting off the connection between Shenji Camp and Jiangbei.
The Shenji Camp is also mainly based on a large number of firearms and equipment, requiring a large amount of gunpowder and weapons. It may not be able to obtain supplies on the spot after occupying Jiujiang Prefecture. Perhaps there is not enough food and grass, so it needs supplies from Jiangbei. If the Suzaku Army attacks the ferry, it is very likely to induce it to fight on the battlefield near the riverside.
Zhu Hengxian wrote a tactical plan to report to Wuchang with Pegasus urgently.
The journey from Jiangxi to Wuchang is about five or six hundred miles away, and you have to cross a river and water network, but the fast horse messenger can barely arrive in a day and a night, so the information exchange is relatively fast.
Zhang Ning's reply was easy to act, which means that Zhu Heng could do whatever he wanted.
This attitude seems to be not very concerned, but it is not the case.
In every key battle, Zhang Ning was under great psychological pressure.
In the intelligence, the Shenji Battalion was also equipped with counterfeit mesh guns and artillery, that is, the gap in firepower equipment has been greatly narrowed, and Zhang Ning is not very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Beijing Battalion at present; there are also a huge gap in the troops...
War is like gambling, and no one knows the final result; but the consequences of the result are quite serious.
If Yongding Camp was eliminated in the Battle of Jiujiang Prefecture, the consequences would be disastrous.
The Vermilion Bird Army has no more troops to fight on the Eastern Front, and the front line will inevitably be torn apart until it gradually collapses; the west side is also facing great pressure.
It is foreseeable to be forced to abandon the Yangtze River line and be driven south of Dongting Lake again; and due to the participation of the three major camps of the capital, Huguang's power balance will be very different from before.
The serious wording of the grandson’s words about the war in the beginning is not exaggeration.
Usually, under such psychological pressure, people are prone to taking action with fear and eagerness, and blind intervention and other measures will have a negative impact on the situation.
This is also the disadvantage of autocracy. A person has too much power, but ordinary people are not machines and it is difficult to be completely rational. They are easily affected by many factors and are prone to mistakes.
Zhang Ning also wanted to give various opinions to Zhu Heng, and was too concerned and instinctively wanted to instruct various matters.
But he finally held back...
There are many factors on the battlefield, and the right time, place, and people all need to respond temporarily; only those who understand the situation on the scene can make relatively correct decisions, and remote control commands that are hundreds of miles away may be counterproductive.
He reflected on the establishment alone: Like the situation of the Battle of Yuanshui, if there was a more powerful decision-maker above, which interfered with and had many constraints, it would be hard to imagine whether the Suzaku Army could be able to defeat tens of thousands of official troops.
He finally wrote a letter in person: If the Yongdingying Ying strategy did not receive a clear reply from Wuchang after it was reported, it would be approved and a temporary decision could be made.Give Zhu Heng and others greater power.
After that, Zhang Ning approved it in every memorial and no longer expressed his opinion on Yongdingying's strategy.
But he asked Xu Wenjun to go to the Senate Department to issue an appointment every day, record all the situations, and always pay attention to the situation in the east.
……
However, the Shenji Camp's reaction seemed a bit slow. Yongding Camp quickly occupied the Yangtze River Ferry: Xinkaikouji, which blocked the ships and supplies on the river could not be reached ashore, but the official troops in Jiujiang City did not move for many days.
Such a situation does not mean that the Shenji Camp was not deceived. It is because the decision-making efficiency of the government army is not as good as that of the Suzaku Army. It is because the command system of the Beijing Camp is rigid and solidified.
The information returned from the secret spies in Jiujiang City was that the power of the Beijing official army included two admirals, eunuchs, military officers, and chief officers. These people were decentralized. No one could make decisions alone and were in a state of mutual restraint. They had to report to the top before they could make active military mobilization.
If there are restrictions, you can only go through the military law system step by step, otherwise it will be difficult to coordinate the army.
The stupid power organization structure of the Shenji Camp made Zhu Heng confused at this time and had to wait for the opportunity.
Zhang Ning sat in a wheelchair and said something to Zhu Heng. Liang Yan, Wei Bin and others outside the door listened, so they decided to make a decision to increase troops to Jiujiang Prefecture.
