A simple sedan chair went out of the courtyard gate, through the long alley, carrying Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu who raised eggs, to the carrying hall of Shouwang's Mansion not far away. Liao Daheng and other civil and military ministers rode horses to follow him.

In the rhythmic swaying of the sedan chair, Zhu Pingjin's anxious mood gradually relaxed.

As soon as he thought about the recent battle situation, he immediately discovered a cruel truth: that is, his ability to predict the situation that he was proud of had greatly decreased. He no longer knows what his opponent will do next, or when and with what force. At this time, he was like an ordinary person in the Ming Dynasty, who had lost all his divine power.

"The Butterfly Effect!" Zhu Pingjin smiled bitterly and said in his heart, "This day will come sooner or later." The harder I try to change my fate, the faster and more drastically I will change the course of history, and the sooner and more completely I will lose this ability to be a prophet! It's a mathematical paradox that I simply can't change! ”

"Now, I can only rely on the knowledge and system that I have brought to this era. An efficient military mobilization system, professional military staff officers, the ideological mobilization work of integrating the military and the government, advanced logistical support capabilities, and a tight intelligence and reconnaissance network, and finally the science and technology of the Zenith Star, everything depends on them. Zhu Pingjin thought, "As for the individual's ability, try to reduce it to a reasonable level, so as not to affect the tall and complete image that the contemptible people have easily established!" ”

……

On the platform of the Shouwang Mansion Carrier Palace, Zhu Pingjin met Liu Zhenfan, the deputy general of northern Sichuan, for the first time.

Liu Zhenfan (Note 1) is a Shandong man in his fifties, tall with long arms and a black beard under the chin, and his physical appearance is a standard military general. However, Liu Zhenfan's first impression of Zhu Pingjin was not like an ordinary general. He wore a red official robe with wide robes and large sleeves, a black veil on his head, and a jade belt around his waist. Speak clearly, behave politely, and behave like an old Confucian.

Zhu Pingjin gave Liu Zhenfan a seat and immediately asked: "How much does General Liu's soldiers have?" Where are you now? Is there all the ordnance, armor, food and grass? ”

Liao Daheng is in a hurry, and Zhu Pingjin is also in a hurry. Rescue soldiers is like fighting fire, and victory or defeat on the battlefield is often between a minute or two. Although Liu Zhenfan's troops were fewer, it was always a good thing to arrive on the battlefield early to disperse the enemy's situation.

"Last year, on the order of Liao Fu, the last general moved from Guangyuan to Yuanba to train troops, in order to recover Bazhou and facilitate the planning of various battlefields. After Wang Chaoyang mutinied, the last general immediately transferred troops to Baizhangguan and Zhaohua County to prevent Wang Chaoyang from seizing these two key points. Wang Chaoyang was appeased, and the minister was ordered by Liao Fujun, and the whole army went south to Cangxi and Baoning, and joined the Bazhou battlefield......"

Zhu Pingjin listened patiently to Liu Zhenfan's narration, but on the other hand, he was carefully observing Liu Zhenfan, a general whose name was in conflict with his title. The generals who rushed on the battlefield were either haunted by the wilderness or bumped on horseback, and there were few times when they were neatly dressed. But Liu Zhenfan is different, Wusha is upright, his clothes are clean, and even the black beard on his chin is neatly combed.

This is a general who is methodical and reasonable, Zhu Pingjin guessed in his heart, this person is still very well-behaved.

"The number of soldiers of the last general was originally three thousand, and half of the soldiers and half of the auxiliaries. The last general served in Guizhou for a long time, so most of his subordinate generals were Guizhou and Biyuan. Fu Du took office in Shaanxi, and drew a lot of troops from the last general, and later the battle of Xiangcheng, the whole army was exhausted......" Liu Zhenfan, who spoke unhurriedly, said here, and paused rarely, "The year before last, the thief entered Sichuan, and the last general lost a lot of soldiers and horses. Fortunately, last year, Liao Fu rectified the military affairs in northern Sichuan, allocated silver, and the brigadier general trained 1,000 elite soldiers. The last general had food and salary, and only then did he resume recruiting troops and recruit Qin Diliu ......"

I didn't expect this Liu Zhenfan to be a slow man! The people in the seat are looking back on history, but the people in the seat are concerned about the current war.

Zhu Pingjin was a little impatient, so he interrupted Liu Zhenfan's lengthy statement.

"What are the soldiers that General Liu participated in this battle? Where are the soldiers? ”

Seeing the anxiety of the prince, Liu Zhenfan quickened his speech: "This time, the last general recruited three cavalrymen

Hundred, one thousand and five soldiers, this is the end of the general's family. As for the auxiliaries, there are three thousand, but they ......"

The auxiliaries of the officers and soldiers also carried swords. If the auxiliaries were added, Liu Zhenfan's strength was close to 5,000, more than half the figure reported by Liao Tycoon. Zhu Pingjin further deepened his understanding of the rough command method of the Ming Dynasty officers and troops. However, at the moment, the number of troops is not the point, the focus is on the position. Liu Zhenfan probably wanted to report in more detail, but Zhu Pingjin had to interrupt him again:

"Where are your cavalry? Where are the soldiers? ”

"Last night, the soldiers had arrived at Qianfochang, about eighty or ninety miles away from Yuxichang, about two days' journey; The cavalry had reached the periphery of Sanhechang, about twenty miles from Yuxichang. It's just that I encountered a thug here......"

"What? Your soldiers have arrived at Trois-Rivières? Zhu Pingjin stood up from the throne with a smile, "General Liu, there is no joke in the army. Are you sure? ”

The cavalry was about twenty miles away from Yuxichang, which meant that the local tyrants had to transfer troops to deal with the reinforcements, and it also meant that the pressure on Zhang Zuokai in the encirclement would be suddenly reduced. It's just that Liu Zhenfan's speed of action is so fast, it doesn't seem to match his slow character.

The battlefield is a place of life and death. Zhu Pingjin had to pull down his face and confirm with Liu Zhenfan again.

Zhu Pingjin stood up, and it was impossible for Liao Daheng, Cheng Xiangfeng and others to sit. Seeing such a posture, Liu Zhenfan knew that he would not be able to get out of it if he didn't make it clear today, so he stood and played the whole thing in detail.

……

Liao Daheng and Liu Zhibo used the money copied by Chen Shiqi and Fu Chongqi's families to train troops, and Liu Zhenfan, who was the deputy general of northern Sichuan, was also fortunate to be on the list. He received an extra 30,000 taels of silver, and began to recruit troops.

The year before last, there was a nationwide drought, and Shaanxi was particularly badly affected. Northern Sichuan, especially the main passage from Hanzhong to Sichuan: Chaotianguan, Guangyuan and other places, gathered many refugees who fled from Guanzhong, Longyou and Hanzhong, these refugees had no food and clothing, or endured hunger and continued to go south, to Chengdu and other rich places to seek food; Either join the official army or the local tyrants in northern Sichuan.

The armies of northern Sichuan saw this good opportunity to recruit troops, and immediately recruited about 8,000 Ding Zhuang to enrich the various battalions. Liu Zhenfan has silver in his hand, so he naturally became the biggest beneficiary of the recruitment tide. His army not only recruited all the troops, but also recruited more than 2,000 people.

It turned out that Liu Zhenfan's soldiers came like this!

Zhu Pingjin was very happy, and was about to praise Liao Tycoon for spending the silver in the right place, but he heard Liao Tycoon, who was sitting in the lower left hand, snort and asked in a deep voice: "Vice General Liu, most of the thieves in the world come from Qin." Futai once issued a document strictly prohibiting the recruitment of Qin people as soldiers, especially the villagers who sacrificed their lives. Why do you knowingly do it! If you send spies to infiltrate the official army, make noise and spread messages during the war, or even set fire to food and rob and kill generals, how should you deal with it? ”

The vigorous appearance of the fourth-rank governor made the second-rank deputy general immediately kneel on the ground.

"The last will be convicted! It's just that the adults are in a hurry to train the troops, and the general will be confused for a while......"

"General Liu is loyal and brave, he just ......" Zhu Pingjin tried to play a round for Liu Zhenfan.

"Shizi, you can't be careless!" Liao Daheng's anger did not subside, "The trick of breaking through is to send internal responses." The battle is raging in the front, the rear is shouting and the fire is rising, and the officers and troops are undefeated! Shizi, the minister thinks that since the armies of northern Sichuan have mixed in a large number of Qin people, they can't be unguarded! The minister suggested that all the armies in northern Sichuan should send a prison army to screen the Qin people in the army one by one! ”

This old fox!

Liao Daheng's last sentence made Zhu Pingjin finally understand. He deliberately made a big fuss so that Zhu Pingjin could send a supervising army to the battalions through this name, and through the supervising army, he could firmly control the northern Sichuan army. It's just that Liao Daheng still doesn't quite understand how different Zhu Pingjin's methods of controlling the army are from the one he is familiar with.

"The last general asks the prince and Lord Futai to send a prison army!" Zhu Pingjin was still thinking about it, and Liu Zhenfan, who was observing his words and feelings, had already expressed his attitude.

"The prison army naturally wants to be sent, but not now!" Zhu Pingjin, who came to his senses, said to Liu Zhenfan, "General Liu might as well talk about it first, since General Liu's troops are divided into three places, the march is so fast?" ”

"At the end of the garrison Yuanba, two hundred cavalry were transferred to Zhaohua and Jianmen Pass, one thousand soldiers and auxiliaries went to Baizhang Pass, and the rest were stationed in Yuanba Tunken. At the end, the general will get the order of Lord Futai, and urgently order the soldiers of Yuanba and Zhaohua to rush to Baizhang Pass......"

"From Yuanba to Cangxi, there is an official road that goes straight. General Liu didn't go to the avenue, but took Baizhang Pass, didn't he go to the Gongbei Road? Zhu Pingjin asked.

"Shizi, as the saying goes, sharpen the knife and cut the wood. There is Langshui (East River) outside Baizhang Pass, which can go straight down to Cangxi Dacheng City. From Da Won City to Thousand Buddha Field, it is only fifty-five miles. Boarding the boat at Baizhang Pass and sailing along the water not only saves leg strength, but also allows ordnance, grain, grass and horses to board the boat, which is very convenient......"

The key to marching by water is to be prepared in advance, and the boatmen cannot be waiting at the ferry at all times. Liu Zhenfan's ability to smoothly organize water transportation shows that his ability to organize and coordinate and have a comprehensive understanding of the battle situation is very strong!

Zhu Pingjin couldn't help but praise, "General Liu is really old and old!" I just listened to General Liu, you are reclaimed in Yuanba, I don't know what the situation is? ”

"In the end, I will use the battalion to reclaim the land, and I am helpless."

Liu Zhenfan glanced at Liao Daheng carefully, and saw that he nodded slightly, so he continued.

"How can the salaries paid by the imperial court now be enough for the soldiers to eat? Therefore, the end will recruit displaced people and cultivate them on the ownerless wasteland. Regardless of whether the land is fertile or barren, each person has five to ten acres, and when he has harvested the grain, he will pay fifty percent to the camp. The year before last, the thieves crossed the border, and Yuanba was in ruins. In the end, the battalion soldiers and the people will be reclaimed, and 300 hectares of barren land will be cultivated......"

30,000 taels of silver, plus a few percent of the salary of 3,000 soldiers, could not support 5,000 soldiers. But with the addition of 30,000 stone of grain, it's different. No wonder Zhu Pingjin saw Liu Zhenfan for the first time, and felt that he was a little different.

It turned out that he was the first general of the official army who was not like Hanako!

"This son knows that Guangyuan also has a local tyrant. You are in Yuanba Tunken, are you not afraid that the local thugs will come to harass you? ”

"We are officials and soldiers, and local tyrants are thieves. How can you fear a thief with an official? Liu Zhenfan looked at Zhu Pingjin strangely, not knowing what the prince meant.

"This son once heard his father say that General Liu had served in the army under Zhu Xieyuan and Fu Zonglong, and reclaimed the barbaric land of Guizhou. I don't know if General Liu has a teaching book? ”

Hearing the prince ask about the past, Liu Zhenfan's words increased.

"After quelling the rebellion of Lu'an, Lord Zhu once divided the territory of Shuixi into twelve states and divided the barbarian lands. Two years later, due to Fang Guoan's booby-trap of Fasa (now Dafang County's Lihua) Tumu, Lord Zhu was demoted. The imperial court dismissed the twelve states, and named An Wanquan's grandson as the consolation envoy of Guizhou. The last general once guarded these twelve states with Fang Guoan and Yuan Guifang, when the governor of Guizhou, Wang Sanshan (Note 2), was killed by the thief Chen Qiyu, and Fu Zonglong was the governor of Guizhou. Master Fu once said to me and other generals: Shu should be guarded by Tun, and Guizhou should be guarded. The first troops are based on the river, with the size of the ferry, the size of the military village, the deep ditch and the high base, and the Fengdun fort. so that not a grain of water may enter the water, and that a thief may not come out of the water. When the thief cultivates the river (NOU), I will cross the river to disturb it, so that the thief will not dare to live with the river, and then I can reclaim it. Try it for three years, and the thieves can be destroyed! The last general will carefully follow the teachings of Fu Du, and the results are very great, but it is a pity that the court ......"

Zhu Pingjin slapped his thigh: "Fu Du is really talented!" His body was martyred, and his strategy was used by the son of the world! The thief of Bashan, is it difficult to be barbarian in Guizhou? However, intelligence shows that the top priority is to relieve the siege of the fishing creek. What did General Liu think in his heart? ”

"The enemy of Yuxi, Ding Zhuang is afraid of more than 10,000. At the end of the general, the Yile soldiers slowly advanced, cleaned the surroundings, and waited for the enemy's old division, tired soldiers, and lack of food, and broke them in one fell swoop! ”

Note 1: Liu Zhenfan, the last general of northern Sichuan Town, and the general of the Shu army who coexisted and died with Chengdu. There is much to know about his background, place of origin, and name. In the historical materials of different eras, the records of him are full of errors and omissions. Xiangmu took one of the studies, namely Liu Zhenfan, or Liu Jiayin (Yin), and the two were the same person. The town is the name, and the Jiayin is the word. In the historical materials of the Qing Dynasty, Yin was reprinted, which was to avoid Yongzheng.

Note 2: That's right, it's the Wang Sanshan who got together with Su San in the script.
