Chapter 43: The Jade Belt Series

Zhang Xuan has met Ming civil officials.

Yang Sichang was killed by Zhang Xianzhong, although I heard the old man say that Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were driven to the sky by Yang Sichang and had no way to enter the ground. But Zhang Xuan didn't experience it. As for Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, and Zhang Xuan have not been in contact. Yan Riyu, and even some other low-level civil officials, didn't let him feel the pressure at all, but in order to deal with Fu Zonglong, Li Zicheng was deceived and defeated, and Zhang Xuan was used as a bait. Zhang Xuan collided with death several times. The impression can be described as profound, and it is also the same, so I feel that Fu Zonglong is difficult.

"My lord, this man has a manuscript in his arms." One of the guards said.

People who have followed Zhang Xuan for a long time know Zhang Xuan's habits, collecting books, no matter what kind of book it is, Zhang Xuan looks at it with relish, even if it is a private letter. And what is written in the letter is just a short matter of the parents. Zhang Xuan can also see it, for no other reason, it's lonely.

There is no computer, no mobile phone, no TV series, no movies, even contraceptive measures are not complete, guarding a wife, and having to keep an empty bed in the middle of the night, how can Zhang Xuan not find something to pass the time? And the pace of this era is very slow, even if there is a war, a big war from the layout to the start, as little as a month, more than a year, but the real decision of the outcome is only a day or two, or a few hours. There is a lot of empty time in it, which makes Zhang Xuan, an extreme mobile phone controller, feel unbearable.

He was so hungry that he could eat everything.

Zhang Xuan took the manuscript casually, he hadn't read it yet, but after a light weighing, he knew that this was not an ancient book of the Tang and Song dynasties, but a manuscript. Zhang Xuan has read a lot of books, and he is extremely familiar with all kinds of ancient books, and he can distinguish them clearly when he weighs them. However, even if it is an engraved book in the Tang and Song dynasties in these years, it is not worth a pound of rice, which is far less than the worth of millions in later generations, and Zhang Xuan has long been used to it.

"Jade belt weaving." Zhang Xuan read it out and said, "What a strange name." When he opened it, Zhang Xuan was shocked, but after two or three glances, he had a feeling of being opened.

Zhang Xuan has been leading troops for a few months, all with a little knowledge he learned in his previous life, as well as the experience he gained in this era, and he is still a wild man in essence. Although Zhang Xuan had only read a few pages, he could already see from this book that this was exactly what he needed.

If Zhang Xuan hadn't personally trained people and given him this book, he would never have had such an experience, it was precisely because of all kinds of confusion during military training that Zhang Xuan had the feeling of understanding when he read the book.

"Who are you?" Zhang Xuan struggled to pull himself out of the book and took the book into his arms.

"The eldest husband will not change his name, he will not change his surname, I am a personal guard under the command of Inspector Fu, Yang Congyi, today fell into the hands of thieves, I would rather die, just ask me to bury the Inspector, I have found the body of the Inspector, please let me send the Inspector's head to the city, and bury it together, if you want to kill it, you can scrape it, and you can do whatever you want." Yang Congyi said.

Yang Congyi at this moment is very different from Yang Congyi on the battlefield at the beginning, covered in mud and blood, and he can't see his true face at all.

"I'll let you go." Zhang Xuan said: "I have this book from Inspector Fu, and I can be regarded as half a disciple of Inspector Fu, if you want to bury Inspector Fu, I am naturally willing to fulfill it, you can go." ”

As soon as Zhang Xuan signaled, the guards immediately let Yang Congyi go.

Yang Congyi wanted to open his mouth to return to "Jade Belt Edition", but he also knew that it was absolutely impossible, he opened his mouth and said: "Please leave your name and let me know who you are?" Yang Congyi still has a matter in his heart to return to this book, write down his name first, anyway, the future will be long, he will spend the rest of his life on this matter, and he will not hesitate to say it.

"I'm Cao Ying Zhang Xuan." Zhang Xuan said: "You should be able to get my news from the imperial court report soon." ”

Zhang Xuan wants to change history, if he can't even publish the imperial court newspaper, it won't be a success.

After Zhang Xuan let Yang Congyi go, he returned to the camp and immediately read the "Jade Belt Edition", which has a bit of a memoir nature. Fu Zonglong used marching, attacking, defending the city, and so on, first put forward the tactics of war, and then wrote specific examples, all of which Fu Zonglong encountered when he put down the An's rebellion. If you just look at the previous text, there is no difference from ordinary military books, and Sun Tzu's Art of War, Wu Zi's Art of War, put forward only some strategic and tactical principles, and even Fu Zonglong's book, which is no better than Sun Wu's book.

And where is the essence of this is, that is, in the later examples, Fu Zonglong wrote the war of the year in cold words, and the writing was particularly detailed, whether it was marching, fighting, or camping, there were legends, which could almost be actually operated. And this book is actually too close, so close that many weapons in the book can be found in the camp.

Zhang Xuan understands too much about the art of war, but on the tactical details, he is very confused, even if he asks those soldiers who have survived a hundred battles, they can't say clearly, go to ask Luo Rucai, Luo Rucai is also at a loss, he is the kind of general who fights, if Luo Rucai extracts tactical principles from his combat experience, Luo Rucai is not Luo Rucai. At least Qi Jiguang, a famous general like Yu Dayou.

For many people, this "Jade Belt Edition" is just that. They may be interested in the details of the pacification of the An's rebellion, or they may be interested in Fu Zonglong's evaluation of someone in the book, for example, in the Jade Belt Compilation, there are many words that evaluate Yang Sichang, Zhang Xuan read it carefully, and always felt that Fu Zonglong was insinuating, indicating his dissatisfaction with the one in Beijing.

However, for Zhang Xuan, this "Practical Operation Manual of the Ming Army" has solved too much of his confusion. As long as you do what you say above, don't say anything else, attack, march, retreat, camp, defense, flags, and horns can all have rules and regulations to follow, although you can't play any creative talents, but Zhang Xuan is enough to be a mediocre general.

With this book, Zhang Xuan is not interested in other things, he keeps his hands on the book every day, deals with the affairs of the camp every day, and refers to the examples in the book, and has new gains every time.

However, time will not stop because of Zhang Xuan, after the army repaired under Xiangcheng for a few days, in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, September 25, it was the beginning of the siege, Zhang Xuan presided over the trebuchet, the stone rained, Liu Zongmin led the team to ascend first, but one day of effort, it conquered Xiangcheng.

After the army entered Xiangcheng. Zhang Xuan received an unacceptable order.

"Slaughter the city." Zhang Xuan was shocked and said secretly: "Li Zicheng can't win the world, it's not for nothing, but I can't watch this tragedy happen." ”

"Daddy." Zhang Xuan came to Luo Rucai and said, "King Chuang wants to slaughter the city? Is it true or false? ”

Luo Rucai didn't pay much attention to it, and said, "That's what it means." Xiangcheng resisted the army, and he didn't know the color, would every city be defeated like this in the future? ”

No one is a fool.

In the troubled times, Wan Wan is merciful, for example, when the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Qing army fought over, the city often surrendered, and the Ming army fought over, often sticking, why, because the Qing army went down to the city, all the city was slaughtered, but the Ming army did not slaughter the city, if the surrender of the Ming army, the Qing army fought again, the city would be slaughtered. Therefore, the people wanted to resist the Ming army, thinking that they would surrender if they could not fight. On the contrary, they did not dare to resist the Qing army.

Zhang Xuan said: "But Dad, you are interested in the world, if you slaughter the city in every battle, you will have a bad reputation in the future, and no one will come to you?" ”

Zhang Xuan still has a bottom line in his heart.

Luo Rucai said: "My good son-in-law, who do you think there are in the city now? If you don't kill people when you break the city, what will you use to feed the army, our army of more than 100,000 people, drink the northwest wind? ”

"But ---" Zhang Xuan still couldn't bear it in his heart.

Luo Rucai glanced at Zhang Xuan with slanted eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "My son-in-law is good at everything, but he is too kind of a woman." However, such a person can make Luo Rucai trust, and it is precisely because of Zhang Xuan's woman's kindness that Luo Rucai feels that this son-in-law can't do anything ruthless. Luo Rucai also decided to give Zhang Xuan a face, and said: "What you said also has some truth, the world must always be governed by scholars." From now on, I won't participate in the slaughter of the city, just let the generals slaughter the city and share my piece of the pie. ”
