Chapter 108: General Staff

Zhang Xian saw that Shi Liang looked at everyone very envious, and it seemed that he couldn't fully integrate in, so he walked over silently and said to Shi Liang:

"Brother Shi Liangxian, you work hard, as long as you have achievements in the future, my Da Song will form his own powerful sea sailor sooner or later, with your ability, you will definitely have a good future!"

Shi Liang nodded, his heart was warm, to be honest, at the beginning, Shi Liang did have the idea of following Zhang Xian to see it first, but now he has only been following Zhang Xian for a few days, fighting and treating people, Zhang Xian didn't say, the so-called Ming Master, doesn't it mean Zhang Xian like this?

Shi Liang nodded vigorously at Zhang Xian, without saying a word, trust sometimes does not need to be expressed in too many words.

Zhang Xian left Luo for three days and Wang Fu, and then let everyone go home first.

Zhang Xian saw that the people were almost gone, and said to Luo Tiantian:

"How's your training for the hundreds of women in three days? Your MIA team must keep the closest distance from the officer, so that the officer can get the necessary information at any time! ”

Luo Tiantian heard Zhang Xian's question, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and said:

"According to what the adults said before, the subordinates have formed a team of more than 200 military intelligence officers, they are mainly responsible for training military intelligence personnel, liaison, collecting, interpreting the army, and classifying intelligence according to the priority of intelligence, the list of these two hundred people is on this piece of paper, except for subordinates and adults, no one in the world knows who these people are!"

Zhang Xian smiled and said:

"Three days, you can, you have developed two hundred people, and the officer doesn't know yet, there is a bit of potential for military intelligence personnel, not bad!"

When Zhang Xian took Luo Tiantian's list and looked at it, he was immediately dumbfounded, nodded and said:

"It seems that your errand has been done very well, these people can be developed into military intelligence personnel, but it is a bit unexpected by this officer, you have done a good job!"

Hearing Zhang Xianyi's praise, Luo Tiantian was a little embarrassed and said:

Last time, we rescued hundreds of women from the pirate Li Haozi, according to the training method of military intelligence personnel instructed by adults, we divided these women into fireworks girls, maids, and concubines according to their posture, adaptability, and then according to their own wishes, and trained them how to do what they liked, how to gain trust, how to get useful information, and how to pass on information.

In addition, we are also developing military intelligence personnel in the caravans and caravans between the Great Song Dynasty and the Tartars, and even we plan to develop their slaves and slaves as our military intelligence personnel in the Tartars' lairs and important military towns. According to the instructions of the adults, we use a three-level single-line contact system, even if one person is threatened, there are only two people who need to be transferred, and the three-level single-line can convey the military situation to the adults as soon as possible. ”

After listening to Luo's report for three days, Zhang Xian smiled and said:

"Okay, your errand has been carried out very well in three days, continue to work hard, and make arrangements according to your plan, we do military intelligence undercover missions, and there is a basic principle: "Reasonable, unexpected!" "In this way, we can obtain truly valuable military information and go home to rest."

Luo Tiantian smiled, turned around and went out to the door, I don't know what I remembered, and turned his head again and said:

"My lord, my subordinate mother said that Mrs. Nianxin often sends us food and clothing, in fact, with the adult, the silver issued by the adult is enough for my family to have enough food and clothing, and the kindness of the adult, I will never forget it for three days."

After Luo Tiantian finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Xian to answer, turned around and ran away, Zhang Xian had no choice but to smile at Wang Fu and said:

"Three days is a child's habit, but he is very careful in doing things. Oh, by the way, Sect Leader Wang, no, I should also call you the Commander of the King now, with your great exploits of Lord Wang, you must have been the commander when you were very young, right? This position is really wronged by you, but now there is no way, so I have to settle for it. This official now wants to go with you to see our Nether Wolf Rider again, this bloody battle, I don't know what impact it will have on them? What's more, now we are very short of talents, so this official has to let you be a commander with old grievances. ”

Wang Fu stroked the sparse beard on his mouth and said:

"Master Zhang, this kid is a good seedling who knows how to repay his kindness in three days, and over time, he will definitely be a talent. As for the old man's attitude towards the size of the official position, Xia Guan believes that Master Zhang knows better than the old man, how fast is it to be a battalion commander and lead a group of brothers to spill their blood on the battlefield? I am a person who has picked up a life in the narrow sense of Lord Zhang, how can I say anything wronged. The old man had just returned from the Nether Wolf Riding Station, and they had previously "

Wang Fu stood up as he spoke, and continued:

"But ah, Lord Zhang, what you just called is actually inaccurate, you should call the old man the battalion commander, Lord Zhang, you are the commander of the Wurui Army personally appointed by the emperor, although the grade is no longer as high as the military commander of the Great Song Dynasty in the past, but it is given by the emperor, and the general civil and military generals have to give you face!

To get back to the point, as soon as this little talent in your hands is dispersed, Mr. Zhang, you will become a veritable commander of the Light Pole Army, and there is not even a herald and staff around you, in case of emergencies and wars, this is absolutely not good! ”

Zhang Xian listened to Wang Fu's words, and nodded with a smile, it is indeed imperative to form a staff member, but the staff operation method of this era is too rigid, relying on a few smart people to give advice, called a military advisor, the biggest disadvantage of this method is that the decision of the lord is completely based on the ability of talents, such as the most famous Zhuge Liang in history. However, once you meet a military advisor with a mediocre IQ, it can only be a blind cat and a dead mouse, all by luck, if Zhang Xian does not introduce the mature staff system in later generations, then he will be blind to the identity of the traverser, Zhang Xian said to Wang Fu:

"Lord Wang is reasonable, when he is free, this officer also plans to form a staff, but this staff is a little different from the previous staff, we want to establish a staff to take a full military action, let's call it the "General Staff", all the staff officers, they must learn to make maps, learn to deduce the battle according to different situations such as terrain, intelligence, weather, environment, etc., and repeatedly deduce the enemy's possible combat methods and marching routes from the perspective of both the enemy and us. And then formulate our corresponding response strategy in a targeted manner and submit it to the coach for decision-making, what does Lord Wang think? ”

Wang Fu heard Zhang Xian say this, his heart trembled, as an old soldier, some things can be understood at a glance, and as soon as he says it, Wang Fu said in surprise:

"My lord, this method is very good, in the past, there were several military divisions under the command of the old man, they generally relied on quick wit, put forward reference opinions in the battle, for how they analyzed the enemy situation in detail and thoroughly, and there was no requirement for multi-faceted judgment of the military situation, to put it bluntly, as long as the idea was good. My lord, you will divide this kind of staff in detail, and plan the enemy's possible combat methods in various directions, as well as our response methods, through the corresponding changes in intelligence, weather, environment, and other changes in the enemy's situation, which greatly avoids the defects of the personal wisdom of the military adviser and the occasional negligence. However, according to the adults, the number of people in this staff department should be not small! ”

Zhang Xian saw that after Wang Fu heard what he said, he immediately told a little bit of the staff system, and he was indeed impressed in his heart, and said:

"What Lord Wang said is that this staff department must need several times more manpower than the military division, and we rely on the gathering of a large number of intelligent and military staff officers, through careful analysis, reasonable and reasonable calculation of all possible situations, and the commander will make the final decision. This officer has made a simple calculation, and the military headquarters of our Wurui Army also needs at least 30 staff officers, and it is planned to equip the battalion commander level with 10 staff officers. ”

After listening to Zhang Xian, Wang Fu looked at the roof with his eyes, briefly calculated in his heart, and said:

"To analyze the military situation, draw maps, and deduce various combat possibilities between the enemy and us, the number of people the adults said is indeed about the same, and the old man thinks that it can be implemented as soon as possible."

Zhang Xian saw Wang Fu say this, but smiled awkwardly and said:

"Lord Wang, this staff system is good, but we are now in urgent need of a chief of staff, although the post of chief of staff, although it does not require the same intelligence as Zhuge Liang, but also needs to have extremely high wisdom, not only to understand the march and war, but also to understand some astronomy and geography, but also to be able to quickly process intelligence, and accurately predict possible combat operations. Such a talent, for a while, the official can't find it! ”

After listening to what Zhang Xian said, Wang Fu began to walk back and forth in the hall, talking about the chief of staff, military division, chief of staff, military division, astronomy and geography, and after a while, Wang Fu turned around and said to Zhang Xian:

"Master Zhang, the old man has a candidate, but I don't know if the adults dare to use it?"

Zhang Xian smiled and said:

"Is there a more dangerous person in this world than you, Lord Wang Jian? Isn't it true that a court criminal like Lord Wang will also be used by his own officials? Lord Wang, let's take a look, who do you like? ”

Wang Fu smiled and said:

"The old man is talking about Wen Tianxiang, the champion of the palace test that year, this person is a man of martial arts and a full of economy, but he also has unique views on military affairs. In the first year of Kaiqing, he was awarded the appointment of the undertaker and the judge of the Navy of Ningning. At that time, the Tartar soldiers attacked Ezhou, and Jia Rudao bewitched the eunuch Dong Songchen to advocate moving the capital to avoid the army, encouraging the emperor to flee. At that time, Wen Tianxiang had not yet taken office, that is, he wrote to the Song court, and the old man had also seen this letter in the court at that time. and asked to kill Dong Songchen, who shook the hearts of the people, but was not adopted, and has now resigned and returned to his hometown. Speaking of which, this Wen Tianxiang is really a talent, the old man once asked him some military strategies in private, and Wen Tianxiang was able to answer them fluently, it can be seen that Wen Tianxiang is by no means in vain. ”

Zhang Xian was taken aback after listening to what Wang Fu said, he didn't expect Wang Fu to know Wen Tianxiang, indeed, according to the historical trajectory, the current Wen Tianxiang is the most unambitious time in his life, however, people like Wen Tianxiang are too upright, and it is too difficult to bend to himself, saying:

"Huh? Lord Wang, do you know Wen Tianxiang? Wen Tianxiang is a person who has also heard of this person, he is rich in five cars, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, but his personality is too upright, once we want to be free from the military restrictions of the imperial court in the future, Wen Tianxiang is estimated to immediately turn against us, so it is difficult for this official to let such a person dominate our staff. ”

Wang Fu thought for a while and said:

"If adults find it difficult for Wen Tianxiang to work with, then Ma Yan is definitely the best choice!"

Zhang Xian asked suspiciously:

"Lord Wang, who is there to be anything wrong with this horse?"
