Chapter 52 Huizhou Fellows
Historically, Lin Zexu fought against the British, most famously in Humen, and the Opium War began.
In the later period, the official position was the governor of Shaanxi, the governor of Shaanxi, and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, which can be described as a one-person hijacking of the three provinces, in order to maintain the stability of the Yunnan border, plus the prince Taibao, and rewarded the flower feathers, and finally died of illness, leaving behind, "The life and death of the country are profitable, and the inspiration verse is not avoided because of misfortune and fortune", which is a well-deserved hero.
Xiao Jin helped Lin Zexu up. "Mr. is really a talented person, and he will definitely use him again in the future."
remembered that Ji Xiaolan said just now that he was the relative mentioned by Chen Jinnan, so he was curious, "I heard Mr. Ji say that you are a relative of Jinnan?" Dare to ask? ”
Lin Zexu arched his hand and said, "It's not a secret, but Brother Chen and Brother Chen have no kinship. ”
Xiao Jin actually didn't know the relationship between the two of them, he just wanted to hear him say it himself, nodded lightly, and made a deaf look.
"Brother Chen and I know each other in Fujian, we are like-minded, we can chat, we have a deep friendship, some time ago he sent a letter to me, saying that he found a master who can help the great cause, that is, Lord Xiao, I hope I can come to him."
"Stop, I know what the great cause you are talking about, but I told Jinnan about this, and I will mention it again to Mr. today."
Xiao Jin said with an expression, "My official clothes were given by the emperor, at least for now." In the future, I will have to mention this again, there are many people, do you know what I mean? ”
"Humble duty understands."
Xiao Jin nodded with relief, "I know your affairs very well, but by my side, I have to put myself in my shoes." ”
Lin Zexu nodded, signaling that he understood.
Ji Xiaolan, who was on the side, saw the serious atmosphere and interjected, "Now our top priority is to repel Wu Sangui and buy more time and space for adults." ”
Xiao Jin nodded in agreement, he can't wait to hear from everyone who is involved in political strategy and talk about his current strategy.
Xiao Jin asked Xu Yingying to call someone to serve snacks and fragrant tea, and the three of them discussed in the garden, and Xiao Jin also asked people to come with a map.
Repeated yesterday's words and thoughts last night with Lin Zexu, Lin Zexu stopped quietly, Ji Xiaolan took out a brush, and with Xiao Jin's retelling, he helped mark it on the map.
Lin Zexu stood in front of the map and thought for a long time, then said, "Dare to ask your lord, do you know who led Wu Sangui's army this time?" ”
"Where did I know this?"
Lin Zexu nodded after hearing this, "Your Excellency's ambush yesterday can be described as extremely beautiful, but after all, it is a team of 2,000 people, and Wu Sangui's follow-up army has 10,000 people. ”
looked at Xiao Jin and continued, "10,000 people, I'm afraid it's not so easy to ambush, adults may not be good at arranging troops." ”
Xiao Jin heard him say that he was not good at it, Xiao Jin blushed and said secretly, it was good not to directly say that he didn't understand anything. "My lord, I am self-aware, sir, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Lin Zexu arched his hand and continued, "It is impossible for 10,000 soldiers and horses to be ambushed by a small valley, and a large army with a whole formation is divided into, the forward battalion, the middle army, the rear army, the gang battalion, and the baggage battalion. ”
"Where the army passes, as long as the generals are not too mediocre, they will send a large number of scouts to spy on the surrounding environment and the enemy's situation, and it is even more difficult to stage another ambush, and it is difficult to achieve a comprehensive ambush with the current strength of the adults."
Xiao Jin nodded and said, "It's not that I haven't thought of this possibility, but we can't wait for reinforcements from Guiyang, and we can't sit still in Shun'an City." ”
Now that the enemy has not yet arrived in Linxian, we can organize cavalry teams to harass and destroy the logistics of Wu Sangui's army, and ambush them at the right time to slow down their march. If things go well, the time needed by adults will be squeezed out. ”
The advantages of the cavalry team Xiao Jin understands that it is highly mobile, and Lin Zexu's idea is good, but where to get so many cavalry, he currently has Chen Jinnan and Zhu Butcher under his command, and there will be no more than two or three hundred horses and cavalry.
Xiao Jin was puzzled, "Sir's method is good, but my lord, I only have more than 200 cavalry, and I am still newly surrendered, I'm afraid it will be overwhelmed." ”
Lin Zexu frowned and said, "There are a lot of cavalry under the humble subordinates, and the cavalry and the rivers and lakes are good, I am afraid that there are more than 700 people, but they are still in other places." ”
When Xiao Jin heard this, he scolded in his heart, except for Lin Zexu, these seven hundred and fifty soldiers are still in other places, there is a bird for this.
Lin Zexu saw Xiao Jin's speechless expression, and hurriedly said, "This team is actually a caravan, my original livelihood in Fujian was to help people escort materials, and these heroes are all guards." “
"There is a way to humble the horses that adults are worried about, but it depends on whether adults dare to requisition them."
"Oh? Let's hear it first. “
"I have a team that happens to help a member of Huizhou to transport tea to Guiyang and Shun'an to sell, due to the large amount of need for a large number of military horse guards, this foreign officialdom is mixed, in Huizhou actually found someone, gave a lot of silver borrowed more than 200 military horses to transport."
"Now is the time of national crisis, if the lord forcibly requisitions it, then it will be enough to play the court truthfully."
Xiao Jin listened, from Huizhou? This is his fellow countryman.
