Seeing Sun Chengzong mention the traitor Sun Degong, Chen Qiyu said: "Back then, Sun Degong's betrayal and betrayal of the country were hated, and the reason why he got what he wanted was mainly because of our problematic ideas. Let the soldiers defend the lonely city and think that they must be able to defend it, this is unwise, and when they can't stand it, they can't let people go to the rescue and can't save people, not to mention that they will compensate themselves, what were you doing earlier? Why do you decide that you can hold it? It is equivalent to the tactics of losing troops and turning them into a complete enemy encirclement and reinforcement, and I really don't know what the chief officer who decided to do at that time was eating. ”

Chen Qiyu felt very quiet after speaking, and when he saw that everyone was not talking, Wang Huazhen, the governor of Jizhou, lowered his head with a flushed face. Chen Qiyu suddenly thought that Wang Huazhen was in charge of Liaodong when Sun Degong rebelled, and he immediately said: "Lord Wang, don't blame, the lower officials just said that they didn't mean anything. ”

Wang Huazhen sighed and said, "It's been so many years, and I've been thinking about whether all this can be avoided in prison, except for hating Sun Degong, a traitor. Later, I thought that I believed in the Mongols too much, but they did not help at the agreed time, and secondly, I did not take into account the difference in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides, thinking that as long as there were more people, they would definitely win. In the future, we must pay attention to these two points when considering problems, one is not only to consider the number of people but also to consider the actual combat effectiveness, and the other is to understand that the Mongols cannot be fully trusted, and the hearts of those who are not of our race will be different! ”

Zhang Xiangan said: "Mr. Wang's words are based on experience, and I also thought about this issue when considering staffing, and I think it should be able to avoid the mistakes of the past, but the specific situation must be tested by reality." At the beginning, when it comes to the cooperation between the various branches of the armed forces, I would like to give us some of my own views on the offensive and defensive aspects of the two military regions. Originally, there were 60,000 people each in Jizhou and Liaoxi, but after Cao Wenzhao took 30,000 to the Northwest Military Region, there were only 90,000 people left on both sides, including 40,000 cavalry, 40,000 infantry, 10,000 vehicles and artillery battalions, plus 7,000 people recruited by Yuan Chonghuan and Yuan, as well as 10,000 each of the Duoyan Department and the Karaqin Department, nearly 120,000 people. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "This is less than 120,000 people to defend Ningyuan Pass, and to defend the Jurchens along the Daling River from coming from the north, and to defend the Mongols from entering the Great Wall from several passes in Jizhou, which is not very enough." Moreover, you still have to find a way to advance northward to occupy Daning, change the passive to the active, and wait for the opportunity to seize Jinzhou, and also take into account the loyalty of the Duoyan and Karaqin people, do you have confidence? It's really not enough to pull out the people in charge of construction and use them, but those people are craftsmen and don't like to fight, so they don't use it lightly. ”

Chen Qiyu said: "There is definitely confidence, but this confidence is based on the close cooperation of each unit. Of course, we also made the worst plan, that is, if we really can't do it, we will pretend to hide in the side wall, and let the Jurchens and Lin Dan Khan's Mongols fight to defeat each other, and then we will not dare to think of the apocalypse when we go out of Daning. ”

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said: "I know that you want your own official to have an attitude, so let's just say it, even if you go to make bold plans, if anyone doesn't listen to the arrangement for me to come forward to solve the problem, besides, you are only a staff officer and military, even if something goes wrong, you will not be held responsible." ”

Zhang Xiangan said: "We think that it is no longer possible for Lin Dan Khan's men to enter the Great Wall in a big way, and he is no longer much of a threat when he is too busy to take care of himself, and our main threat is the Jurchens." In this sense, the posture that Jizhou needs to adopt is defense, and there is no problem if it only needs to defend a few key positions, which is also the reason why all 30,000 people of Cao Wenzhao were evacuated in the first place, because there is no need to garrison so many people there. Our Great Wall is built along the highest part of Yanshan Mountain, and if the enemy wants to attack, no matter where he comes in, he will attack from the back, which determines that the enemy cannot ride a horse uphill, and must accumulate a certain number of men and horses to attack. ”

At this time, someone had already taken a map, Lu Xiangsheng saw that he said that he had a third of an acre of land and looked at it carefully, and after listening to Zhang Xiang'an's words, Lu Xiangsheng said: "It takes a certain amount of time to gather people and horses, which determines that it is impossible for the Jurchens to do a sneak attack, where does Lord Zhang think they will come from if they want to attack?" ”

Zhang Xiangan said: "Outside the Great Wall of Jizhou, there are mountains in the north, northwest, and northeast, which can be said to be surrounded by mountains. The Bashang Plateau in the north and the Dama Mountains in the west are steep and mountainous, which is not conducive to the march of cavalry, and it is better to attack Jizhou from the west than to directly attack Xuanfu and enter the Great Wall. Since this is the case, I think that the number of troops defending at Juyongguan, Gubeikou, Xifengkou and other places should not exceed 5,000, and at most 3,000 is enough. ”

Lu Xiangsheng didn't say anything before Wang Huazhen was in a hurry, he said: "Now 10,000 people is not enough, how can there be only 3,000 people?" I also asked Master Ni for help and asked him to build more new cannons and add them to the fortresses, so that the cannons on the Great Wall are strong enough and do not need to be miniaturized. ”

Zhang Xiang'an said: "Lord Wang is right to add cannons, but it is best to only place them at a few key passes, the real role of the Great Wall is not to bombard the enemy outside on it, its greatest value is to warn." And the front of the cannon is better to be flat than mountainous, the power of the cannon lies in firing into the crowd, so that people are afraid to concentrate their forces to charge, think about it, see if the enemy is really going to attack you from here, what is the role of a few cannons? If you really want to destroy the enemy, after getting the alarm, let the soldiers occupy the favorable terrain and kill the enemy with bows, arrows and spears - you put so many people on the Great Wall, the wind and rain, the soldiers will also have opinions. ”

Wang Huazhen said: "Then you mean that only a small number of soldiers are sent to monitor the Great Wall, and everyone else is stationed under the various passes?" What if the enemy crosses the Wall? ”

Zhang Xiangan said: "It doesn't matter much even if the enemy crosses the Great Wall, because the turned soldiers are not a threat, and they can only have combat effectiveness by seizing the pass and putting in a large number of cavalry, so I think that only a small number of soldiers on the Great Wall can be sent to guard, and others can hold a few main passes, and a few thousand soldiers at a few passes are enough." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said at this time: "If I really want to go back in this way, I can hand over the defense of Jizhou to Lord Wang, but I don't know where Lord Zhang thinks my field troops should be?" How many people do you need to make it up? ”

Zhang Xiangan said: "The so-called field troops are not troops used for defense, but should be cavalry units that come and go like the wind, just like Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, to achieve 'its speed like the wind, invasion and fire', and to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and destroy the enemy in rapid movement." Of course, we are not yet in the conditions to fight head-on with the Jurchens, and we should cooperate with our defensive forces to carry out a double blow to the enemy when the enemy attacks. I think that General Lu should have 20,000 troops, pull out the 10,000 cavalry at Shanhaiguan and select the best, and those who are not enough will be supplemented from other troops, and at the same time select 10,000 people from the Karaqin people to give you command. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded when he heard this and said: "The Karaqin people are settled in Liaoxi, and taking 10,000 strong people from them to Jizhou is considered to separate them, which is both a use and a precaution. Since it is a double blow in cooperation with the defending forces, should Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses be placed in Daning? ”

Zhang Xiangan said: "It is precisely in this way that I want to pull half of Zu Dashou's 30,000 sailors and marines to Daning, 15,000 people will hold on to the city, and the 20,000 cavalry of General Lu's army will cooperate with it to form a double combat effectiveness." After Lord Ni miniaturizes the cannon, it can be placed in Zuo Liangyu's car and artillery battalion, so that a triple combat force will be formed, fixed artillery, fixed city walls, and mobile car battalions form a triple protection when defending, and mobile artillery and assault cavalry form a double blow when attacking, and the Jurchens should not be able to take advantage of it. ”

As soon as Zhang Xiang and An finished speaking, they saw a brocade guard come in and shouted: "The emperor has driven to the apocalypse!" ”

When Sun Chengzong and the others heard this, they hurriedly got up and went out to greet them, only to see the apocalypse walk in with a few guards, Sun Chengzong bowed down and asked, "Why did the emperor come in person?" ”

Apocalypse said, "I heard that you are discussing the deployment of troops, so I will come and listen to it if I have nothing to do, and everyone should sit down and continue." After saying that, he took the lead and walked inside.

After Tianqi and everyone sat down, Sun Chengzong said: "The emperor said that he wanted the Ming army to gain a firm foothold on the grassland, and asked the Military Affairs Institute to come up with a plan. At the beginning, the two of them were talking about their plans, and Lord Xiao Zhang was talking about combining offense and defense, and attacking like the wind and plundering like fire, and we were all listening to what good suggestions he and Chen Qiyu had to offer. ”

Tianqi nodded and said, "Speaking of offense, it's time to talk about defense, where does Lord Zhang think the defense can be as immobile as a mountain?" ”

Zhang Xiangan said: "The Emperor Mingjian, "The Art of War" said that 'its speed is like the wind, its Xu is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, it is not moving like a mountain, it is difficult to know like a yin, and it is like a thunderstorm' and other military strategies, but my Ming soldiers are very weak in combat effectiveness, and they can't command the attack and defense for the time being, so the minister wants to divide the troops and practice their own skills, and the cooperation will be unsatisfactory when the time comes. ”

Tianqi couldn't help but nod his head when he heard it, Sun Chengzong said at this time: "Lord Zhang's words made the minister think of one thing, the emperor felt that things were complicated and wanted to take a break and let King Xin take care of things, but he found that King Xin was young and needed to learn how to govern the country, so he asked someone to find a few masters for King Xin. The emperor's requirements at that time were 'magnanimous, broad-hearted, well-learned, sensible, proficient in punishment and reward, arbitrarily decided, and aware of power changes', and the Ministry of Rites at that time Xue Sansheng said that such a person did not exist in the Ming Dynasty at present, so he later found Wen Zhenmeng, Huang Zunsu, and Qian Qianyi to the king of letters, and now the king of letters can handle state affairs handy, and I believe that the merits of the three masters should be not small. ”

Apocalypse said, "Yes, it is good to have all-knowing and all-powerful people, but it is really impossible to find that they can cooperate with each other. At the beginning, I thought that the main thing in the words of Sun Tzu's Art of War was to obey orders, let the generals command freely, and the troops moved as fast as the wind under his command, and the slow march was as orderly as the woods. However, I think that the current army of the Ming Dynasty has not been able to do the two sentences of 'invasion like fire' and 'immobile like a mountain', and I don't know how Lord Zhang and Lord Chen want to arrange the plan? ”
