The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

"Brother knows."

Speaking of this question, Zhang Yun seemed very cautious, glanced left and right, and replied in a deep voice.

"The cavalry team is ready to recruit 30,000 people, and it is called the Broken Army, which is mainly used to deal with Jiannu. The places in Nanyang are all waterways and mountains, which are somewhat inappropriate.

By the way, I will tell you about the general trend of the world later, and you must understand more about it in the future, so that you can have a big picture. ”

After saying this, Qin Haoming asked Zhang Yun to move the military uniforms of the soldiers to the warehouse for the task he came over this time, and prepare to distribute them tomorrow.

Among these 8,000 people, 6,000 Zhejiang soldiers were dressed like Huazi, with bare sheepskin jackets and torn cotton jackets with exposed cotton wool.

What's more, in the winter when the snow is about to fall, shivering and wearing a straight shirt and bare feet, which makes people feel desolate.

Even the two thousand Fujian guards who were selected out, most of them only had a white-washed mandarin duck battle jacket.

The situation has reached the present, and the military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty have been issued once a year or once every three years according to the financial situation of the provinces. It doesn't matter if the officers and generals are, they can be customized at the garment shop.

It's these guards who are suffering, and no one pays attention to them at all. Besides, if you have a little spare money to make clothes, no one will make them into military uniforms, and officers are needed by officialdom, which is naturally different.

If an army wants to become an army and become a strong army, one of the keys is to achieve uniform clothing. The costumes are unified, and no matter how bad the team is, there will be some momentum.

This is actually a matter of mental outlook, and uniform clothing will increase the sense of belonging and honor of the soldiers.

A set of summer clothes was issued when they first arrived, all with a placket and long-waisted military boots.

Now that the weather is getting colder, a red mandarin duck jacket was customized for each of them, knee-length, narrow sleeves, and filled with cotton, which has both defensive and warm functions.

There was no shortage of materials, and the materials seized from the pirates this time were the most cotton, linen, silk, raw silk, etc., as many as five sea ships.

However, Qin Haoming specially asked the quilt factory to customize two colors, one cyan and one red.

Soldiers with excellent performance and hard training wear red mandarin duck battle jackets, and those who perform poorly wear cyan for differential treatment.

The army is a place that needs a clear hierarchy, and soldiers do not have the personality to chase after me, or a sense of honor, which is unqualified wastewood.

After the barracks and generals hurriedly finished dinner, Dong Changqing brought the situation of the rebels in the northwest, and everyone moved to the command room of the Gushan camp.

With Qin Haoming's efforts, the sand table has now gradually become popular in the army.

Dong Changqing walked to the sand table in the middle of the big account, first reported to everyone that he had obtained information, and then made sand table deductions based on the information, and said his analysis and judgment.

"Colleagues, now that the entire Huguang military equipment is extremely empty, if Zhang Xianzhong really goes south to Huguang, I am afraid that he will soon be able to hit Jiangxi.

According to personal analysis, south of the Yangtze River, Jiangxi is undoubtedly the most suitable place to be the foundation.

When Zhang Xianzhong went south, would he plan to swallow the entire Huguang and Jiangxi, using this as a base to plot half of the country? Learn from Emperor Taizu's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and then plot the whole world. ”

Everyone originally paid less attention to the situation in the northwest, but at this moment, when they heard Dong Changqing say this, they all looked at Qin Haoming.

Taking over the whip in Dong Changqing's hand, Qin Haoming sighed in his heart, some things can't be avoided after all, what should come will always come, rather than being caught off guard by then, it's better to plan early.

"If it was Zhang Xianzhong in the past, let alone not having such a strategic vision, even if he had, he would not be able to implement it.

But at this time, at that time, the previous imperial court was still in the stage of strategic offensive, forcing Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and others to wander around.

Moreover, at the beginning of the rebellion, these people were blind, and they could only destroy and not build, just like a swarm of locusts, leaving no grass in the place they passed, which was also doomed to them to be unable to stop.

Because the place is so completely destroyed, it is impossible to survive if it is stopped.

However, the court became weaker and weaker, and its military and financial resources were exhausted. On the other hand, Zhang Xianzhong and them, the more they fight, the more experienced they become, especially the collection of three salaries, which gives them opportunities.

Therefore, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong occupied land one after another, set up officials and offices, and some talents began to defect to Zhang and Li.

Don't underestimate them, after years of fighting, these anti-thieves have no different vision!

Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that they really have the idea of occupying Huguang and Jiangxi and then encompassing the entire south of the river.

But no matter what, as long as we are prepared to protect the southern Gan region from its poisoning. Strategically speaking, only by keeping southern Jiangxi can we keep Jiangxi, and only by keeping Jiangxi can we keep Fujian and Guangdong from being poisoned. ”

Zhao Dayou, who had followed Lu Xiangsheng to fight the traitor, looked at the sand table and said:

"If the troops come from the couch to the east, there are two routes that are most likely to be taken, one is to go to Pingxiang, through Xinyu, and attack Ji'an Mansion.

The other was much farther away, going through Hengyang, passing through Chenzhou, Rucheng, and Chongyi, and attacking Ganzhou. Qin Du thought that Zhang Xianzhong's troops were more likely to choose which route as the main march route? ”

"Zhang Xianzhong's rebels have not yet departed from the essence of the rogue, and they can't be treated with common sense!

Where they want to go and which route they want to take, they may be blind to themselves.

The more carefully you plan to deal with such an army of rogues, the more you can be killed by his indiscriminate punches. Yang Sichang's strategy of encirclement and suppression on all sides can be said to be imstrict, what is the result? ”

"What would you do if it was encircled and suppressed by Governor Qin?" Li Xiang stepped forward and couldn't help but ask a hypothesis.

"No matter how elaborate the containment is, there will be loopholes, and in the Governor's opinion, the only feasible way is to send an elite army to chase and fight him.

Whether it is heaven or earth, he has to chase him so that he doesn't even have time to breathe. Then send the court's talented people who are good at civil governance to follow behind to appease and properly settle the refugees, which is better than any ambush on all sides. ”

Qin Haoming sighed and couldn't help but shake his head.

In fact, it is not difficult to solve the problem of the rebellion in the northwest, but it is not so easy to completely eradicate the rebellion.

The key is to have two hands, one pair of traitors and the other pair of people, this is not an overnight achievement.

Dong Changqing frowned, nodded and thought for a moment before returning to the point: "According to what Governor Qin said, both routes may become the main attack routes of Zhang Xianzhong's rebels. ”

"No, not two!

Once two routes are set, you still look at this tributary with common sense, what Ben Du means is that every place may become the route of Zhang Xianzhong's army;

No matter how many ways he comes, as long as he catches a little, the thief will capture the king first!

If we make a move, the first battle will be like a storm sweeping away the leaves, beating the famous and famous, beating him to the wind, beating him to the ground, beating him to the bottom of the ball.

Of course, after all, they are all comrades, and they must hold the idea of only punishing the evil, as for the other displaced people, most of them are coerced, and they are the people of the Ming Dynasty, so they still have to be treated differently. ”
