The Shunqing Mansion and the Duwei Mansion near the river were requisitioned by Liao Daheng and Zhu Pingjian, the sons of Shu, respectively. Zhu Pingjin requisitioned the tall five-story restaurant of Duwei Tower, instead of temples such as the Chenghuang Temple, which had more comfortable living conditions and better defense conditions, Mingli's reason was that he did not want to disturb the gods, and the secret reason was that he liked to stand on the top of the building and look out over the river, which could arouse his feelings about the previous family, so he did not hesitate to occupy the highest floor.

Leaning on the railing, a slender brass shell monocular, which Luo Jingyun aimed at his right eye, dangled back and forth on both sides of the river.

In winter, the grass is yellow, and the riverbank is depressed. The river is dry, and there are only a few boats.

"Brother-in-law, this thing is so useful! As long as you have a wide field of vision, you can see it clearly no matter how far you go! It's just that I've been dizzy and swollen for a long time! In front of his brother-in-law, Luo Jingyun recovered from a member of the party to a childlike teenager.

He rubbed his eyes, covered it with his palms, first gave Chen Youfu who was standing straight in the middle of the hall a look, and then showed a hippie smile to Zhu Pingjian: "Brother-in-law, send it to us!" Battlefield command is useful! ”

The brother-in-law's ghost is clever and can't hide it from Zhu Pingjin. He smiled: "Things always have to be used, and they will be rationed to you sooner or later!" ”

But his words immediately turned: "It's just not right now!" In the future, it will be disassembled and measured, and large-scale imitation will be carried out. You see, the value of a merchant is not only the exchange of goods, but also the exchange of advanced technology and culture! Look at what you have in your hands, Taixi has done a good job over there, but Yang Yang China wants to imitate it. What does this mean? It shows that Daming has fallen behind in many areas. It's not okay to rest on your laurels, and it's even more important to be arrogant. If you fall behind, you will be beaten, this is an eternal truth! In addition to the competition for the hearts and minds of the people, in addition to food supplies, in addition to army training and morale, there was also a contest of equipment and technology. We need to let the local tyrants understand what backwardness will bring! ”

From a telescope to the value of a merchant, to the good things of Tessie, and finally back to the purge of the tyrants. Luo Jingyun felt that his usually useful head could not keep up with the rapid jump of his brother-in-law's thinking. He was silent for a moment, and decided to write a letter back to ask his sister which merchant was of such value, and what was the best place for Tessie. Seeing his brother-in-law beckoning to talk about business, he reluctantly put the telescope back into the brocade box and withdrew the smile on his face.

……

Zhu Pingjin crouched on the desk, his eyes looking at a new line-drawn map tiled on the desk. He beckoned, beckoned the two of them to the front, and called Cheng Xiangfeng, who was making a record on the side, over. Now Zheng Anmin is sitting in the palace of the king of Shu, Hong Qihui is in Furong, He Youyi is in Luzhou, Song Zhenzong led the troops to Hezhou, and Song Zhensi stayed in Chengdu. The scattered county village guards gathered in Jintang County, and Shu Guoping and Sun Hong were gathering and marshalling, and they would arrive in Shunqing two days late. So the strategists and generals around Zhu Pingjin were the only ones left with him, Cheng Xiangfeng, the big secret.

Zhu Pingjin asked Chen Youfu and Luo Jingyun: "What do you mean, is it the first to recover Qu County?" This is also the meaning of He Qiukou? ”

"Yes! The three of us think the same thing! Chen Youfu's answer was crisp and neat.

He bent down, found the circle representing Qu County on the map, dotted on the circle, and told Zhu Pingjin that their general idea was to restore the defense line from Pengzhou Shishan to Qu County.

In this way, it can not only prevent the local rioters in Bashan from continuing to come out and harm people, but also prevent the local rioters in Pengzhou, Guang'an, and Hezhou from escaping back to Bashan. When the reinforcements came up, they first regained Quxian and Sanhui Town to the north with the troops of the 1st and 4th Regiments, cut off the main passage for the Tu Riots to enter and exit Bashan along both sides of the Qujiang River and the Huaying Mountains, and then coordinated with the Song Zhenzong Division of the 3rd Regiment in the south and the Yin Jialin Division of the 10th Battalion in the west to form a three-sided encirclement of the Tu Tyrants in the triangle area of Qujiang, Huaying Mountain and Jialing River. After that, the 1st and 4th regiments went side by side to the south to clear and suppress, and Song Zhenzong and Yin Jialin responded from the south and from the west, and finally drove the local rioters to the narrow area near Hezhou to be completely annihilated.

This strategy seems to be a copy of the Battle of Pengshan Jiangkou, and it is an idea of fighting a war of annihilation.

According to Liu Mingsheng's latest information, there are five major groups of local rioters who have entered and exited Pengzhou, Guang'an, and Hezhou, namely: Yuan Tao, the king of the heavens, Liu Weiming, the king of rebellion, Wang Gao, Wang Guangxing, and perhaps Chen Lin, Yao Yuchuan, and Yang Bingyin. If a joint encirclement can be formed, then there will be at least 50,000 people in this encirclement. After eliminating this group of local tyrants, half of the local tyrants who have been ravaging Sichuan for many years have been eliminated. It must be said that this idea is very attractive to Zhu Pingjin, who is eager to eliminate the local rioters and then concentrate all his efforts on dealing with Zhang Xianzhong.

"You have a bold idea!" Zhu Pingjian's slap slapped hard on the map, praising his brother-in-law and Chen Youfu, "In this way, at least tens of thousands of people will go down to the river to feed Wang Ba!" ”

"Brother-in-law, are you approved?" A smile suddenly bloomed on Luo Jingyun's face.

"Don't rejoice too soon!" Zhu Pingjin shook his head at Luo Jingyun, "How can a large-scale campaign decision be so hasty? The commanders of the three departments, including the staff, the superintendent, and the rear, did not arrive, and the commanders of the various troops, such as He Zengshan, Song Zhenzong, and Yin Jialin, did not know what they thought, so how could they make a decision at this time? Liao Fu and Ma Bingbei are commanding the three-way official army to attack Bazhou, how is it going? It is not known whether the eastward transfer of Mo Chongwen's troops agreed to return to defense, the position and next move of Zhao Ronggui's troops and Ding Xianjue's troops in Chongqing, and whether Santan and Zeng Ying in Wanxian, Fuzhou, and Zhongzhou took action. This is self-ignorance! Knowing oneself also knows the other. Enemy situations, such as...... And the weather, hydrology, logistics and supply ......"

Luo Jingyun was sadly reprimanded by his brother-in-law for a while. According to his rebellious character, if it was his sister, he would have unceremoniously pushed back. But his brother-in-law reprimanded him, and he couldn't refute it, because what his brother-in-law said was correct.

This battle involved the four prefectures of Baoning, Shunqing, Chongqing, and Kuizhou, with tens of thousands of troops, including the official army, the two teams of Shangzhuang, the Tusi soldiers, and the township warriors organized by the people. Once the decision-making is wrong, it will cost the teacher and the land, and the country and the people will be ruined at the worst, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Chen Youfu bravely stood up to block the bullet for his partner: "Report to the prince, this is the last general's mistake of being anxious to fight and thoughtful!" ”

"This son doesn't blame you!" Zhu Pingjin was very satisfied with Chen Youfu's performance, "In the past, there was only one battalion of soldiers in the northern Sichuan Palace. Standing in one city and one place, the field of vision is inevitably narrow. However, now that the battlefield is vast, and military struggles must be combined with political and economic struggles, the shortcomings of your lack of knowledge are revealed. In the future, when I am free, this son will give you a special class to teach decision-making! ”

"Yes!" The two stood upright and spoke in unison.

Decision-making, is it the secret science of the Shu Palace?

Chen Youfu had to rush back to Yingshan County overnight and command Lin Yan's third battalion to carry out a tentative attack to the east and south, so as to cooperate with Liu Mingsheng's intelligence bureau to grasp more valuable information such as the combat effectiveness, numbers, equipment, tactics, and subordinates of the local tyrants.

Luo Jingyun went downstairs to rest. Tomorrow, he will accompany Zhu Pingjin and Liao Daheng to the south of the Yangtze River to inspect Yin Jialin and Zhu Pingqi's troops of the 10th Battalion, which occupy Dingyuan County. In addition to the 800 people in the 10th Battalion, there were about 100 people in the first company of the first battalion of Gao Zhicong's cavalry, about 200 people in the second company of Gao Rongxuan's Tianquan Tusi cavalry, 250 people in He Chengjun's small artillery battalion, and about 300 people in the two companies of the independent baggage battalion, with a total strength of more than 1,600 people. If you add the two hundred guard cavalry led by Zhu Pingjin and Liao Daheng and the more than three hundred Dong Bu cavalry, it is enough to launch a small-scale attack.

Cheng Xiangfeng saw that Luo Jingyun and the others had already gone downstairs, and asked when he saw the stitches.

"Shizi, will it be rotten?"

Rotten Ke is another name for Go. The allusion comes from a mythological story, which is that the woodcutter went up the mountain to chop wood, and when he saw the boy playing chess and singing, he couldn't help but forget to return. When the boy reminded him to go home, the axe and the wooden handle (Ke) were rusty and rotten, and the allusion that "one day in the mountains, a thousand years in the world" came from here.

Could it be that Cheng Xiangfeng has nothing to do and wants to play a game with Zhu Pingjin for fun? Zhu Pingjin is an authentic stinky chess basket, the masters of the special car class of the S Committee can let him have three sons, and the security guard at the gate can let him have two horses and a cannon, so he shook his head and didn't want to humiliate himself.

"If the prince is proficient in rotten ke, he knows that in the game, the most important thing is the 'golden horn and silver edge grass belly'!"

Cheng Xiangfeng is a native of Yazhou, and like Liu Daozhen, he has been a teacher of state studies, and Hong Qihui and others have been taught by teachers and students. According to Chinese tradition, Zhu Pingjin gave Cheng Xiangfeng a very high treatment. In this way, Cheng Xiangfeng has become a benchmark, the cadres who came out of Yazhou are satisfied, and Liu Daozhen, who has not been promoted for the time being, is also at ease.

In Zhu Pingjin's governance system, the Shizi General Office led by Cheng Xiangfeng is referred to as the "Shizi Office", which does not belong to any military and political system, but is parallel to the Government Department and the three general departments, and directly serves Zhu Pingjin and Luo Yuhong. Zhu Pingjian's lump is called "Zhu Ban"; My wife's lump is called "Luo Ban". Therefore, "Shiziban" is also known as "Zhuluo".

There are literati in this, such as Tan Fang; There are also part-time eunuchs selected from the Chengfeng Division: Cao Sanbao, Li Sixian, Qin Yi, and Zhang Wei, a newly selected attendant eunuch from Zhu Pingjin. As the secretary team of Zhu Pingjin and his wife, they first undertook secretarial and confidential work, secondly supervised the army and guarded the troops, and thirdly, they undertook other temporary assignments. Shu Guoming's Political Research Office has become independent from the Shizi Office, but it is still under the leadership of Cheng Xiangfeng.

Because of the recent restructuring of the organization and the expansion of cadres, Zhu Pingjin delegated the power of selecting the battalion-level commanders of the military and political departments to the military department and the secretary of administrative affairs, but the appointment and dismissal of cadres at the regimental level was still in his hands. Zhu Pingjin temporarily handed over the specific cadre inspection work to Cheng Xiangfeng. In addition, the hook-up between Zhu Pingjin and Sichuan Governor Liao Daheng is also the responsibility of the Shizi Office. Cheng Xiangfeng's burden is heavy, and he has fewer suggestions on military and political affairs. Today, perhaps seeing that the other strategists were not there, Zhu Pingjin recruited him by name, and he had the intention to play the role of a strategist.

"Golden horn and silver edge grass belly', this son has heard of it." Zhu Pingjin said tentatively, "Mr. seems to have something to say." Could it be that this golden horn refers to Hezhou; This silver edge is not the two big rivers of Jialing and Qujiang? ”

"The son of the world is really smart! The ancestors of the ancestors have to cultivate virtue, and they have to meet the master! Cheng Xiangfeng served Zhu Pingjin a bowl of chicken soup in time, and sprinkled some green onions, "It's just that the minister thinks that this silver edge will also add Peng, Ying, and the canal line and the Huaying Mountains!" ”

"Sir, you might as well elaborate on this son!"

Zhu Pingjin became interested.
