"Even if the strategy of luring the enemy into the depths is adopted, where to hold on and where to abandon it, there is a lot to do in the middle. After the enemy occupied the Ferris Ridge, he condescendingly saw the reality of our army clearly, and ridiculed our army for not knowing the art of war. Such a tactic can only be called a stupid pig tactic! Talk about what lures the enemy deeper! ”

Everyone saw Zheng Yun's fire, and their hearts were uneasy. The Song army has always been good at defending the city, but since the southern invasion of Tuolei Nashaoding, many people have been frightened by the Mongols, and when they encounter the Tatar cavalry, the first thing they think about is to protect their own back road. Zheng Yunming was just saying that they didn't understand the art of war, and he didn't point out the things behind it, where was the problem of not understanding the art of war. Where the sky is dangerous, you can be a husband and a man, but it is also very difficult to retreat smoothly, and if you don't do it well, the whole army will be annihilated. Where can it compare to the valley flatland, it is easy to run away when you see the opportunity, and you can flee in a battle, you can also loot the people, a windfall, and then sit and wait for the court to recruit peace. Since Wu Xi's rebellion, everyone believes in the saying that a hundred battles are better than a rout, and they fight with their lives, but the result is not as good as the money from the rout, so the soldiers habitually see the enemy and collapse, and the rout becomes a chaotic bandit, robbing with red, white and yellow scarves, which is called the White Turban Rebellion.

Giving grace to everyone first, and then standing up is Zheng Yunming's plan, only by grasping everyone's attitude in advance, Zheng Yunming can truly announce his strategy.

"There are three things to do in Sichuan at the moment, and listen to one of them according to the priority of the process."

"The most urgent work in Sichuan at present is nothing more than saving time, when to save? The first is the people, the second is the officials, and the third is the land. Chongqing has nearly two million refugees and is in urgent need of resettlement. You may look down on these refugees, but Chengdu City has been washed and slaughtered by the Mongols, and a little seed of the essence of Shu is left behind in these refugees, and for the sake of the country and the future of Tianfu, they have to be carefully resettled. Recently, the imperial court issued an official document to resettle some of these refugees in Chongqing, some to Kuizhou, Guizhou, Fangzhou, and Xiazhou, and some to live in Jinghu. The principle of relocation is to talk to the elders of their own tribe separately, and those who are willing to move will be given travel expenses according to the distance of the journey, and after arriving at the relocation site, they will be given grain seeds and cattle and farm tools, and the government will be exempted from labor for three years. ”

For the resettlement of refugees, the Song Dynasty already had experience and precedents, and there was no need for Zheng Yunming to pay attention to instructions, not to mention that at this time in Hubei and Hunan, in fact, there were still a large amount of uncultivated land, and these lands should be reclaimed as much as possible, so that the lake could be fully ripe and the world could be fully satisfied, so as to ensure the food supply for the war against Mongolia.

Zheng Yunming said: "Since the Great War, seven or eight out of ten officials at the state and county level have fled, and now there are those in the county who cannot find the county order, those who cannot find the county officer, those who cannot find the main book, those who cannot find the general judgment, those who cannot find the transfer envoy, and even those who cannot find the general jurisdiction. How can things be handled without local officials? There is no way to do anything, so the imperial court will urgently appoint a group of officials to support, in addition, these bureaucrats who have fallen from the sky alone can not handle local affairs, I have discussed with Li Zhizhi, recruited local capable people, and selected a group of capable officials, you have seen this Jixian Hall next door to the government office, since the opening of the door every day, but to select a group of people with real talent and learning to fill the vacancy. One competent official is more beneficial to the country than a hundred useless officials. ”

"In Chongqing, Kuizhou and Jinghu, there is a lot of wasteland, so there is no need to worry about the livelihood of displaced people, but before the wasteland is reclaimed to mature land, these farmers need help from the government, but fortunately, Jinghu has gradually promoted the intercropping of bean crops and crops, and the use of green manure to supplement the fertility of the soil, I believe that within five years, the reclaimed barren land will become fertile fields again."

None of the generals under him understood what he said, and Zheng Yunming was only talking about them in generalities. It is the local civil officials who need to care about this, and as for these martial artists, they are concerned about the things that will be talked about below.

When Zheng Yunming continued, his voice also raised slightly: "Anmin is the first important thing, and the second most important thing is to organize the army. Now that the Shukou army has been completely annihilated, there are few troops left in the Chengdu Prefecture Command Division, and the rest of the army is either remnants or too few troops, which is simply not enough to resist the Mongols moving south again. Therefore, the imperial court sent me to reinforce me, but with my more than 10,000 people, how to compete with the 100,000 people in Kuduan, so to increase the military strength, the first is to reorganize the existing Sichuan army, and the second is to start recruiting and training new troops. ”

When these martial artists heard Zheng Yunming's words, they came to the spirit, and they all stared at this young commander with blazing eyes, the reorganization of the army and the recruitment of new troops are good opportunities to change the strength and status of the army, who can expand the formation, who will have a pivotal position in the future War of Resistance, don't look at these big old people who can't recognize all the big words, in fact, they are very thoughtful. With the strength of the Jin country, and the Great Song Dynasty entangled for a hundred years, although the Mongols are strong and strong, but they can't cross the Yangtze River on horseback, and they can't step into the lofty mountains of Bashan, the war is bound to be prolonged, and according to the recent dynasties, the consequences of the prolonged war will inevitably cause the feudal town to sit big, not to mention being a hero, maybe there is a chance to make an emperor dangdang, naturally, the Great Song Dynasty's control of the army is far from being comparable to the Tang Dynasty, but the war is urgent, and the court has a request for people. How can such a good thing not make everyone eager to try?

Zheng Yunming saw the active feelings of the generals, and sighed secretly in his heart, since ancient times, the military generals have been keen on fame and fame, and they have never diminished, even when it comes to the difficulty of the overthrow of the family and the country, many people are still busy making careful calculations for their own selfish interests, the more this is the case, the more they can appreciate the greatness of generals like Yue Pengju and Qi Nantang who put the safety of the country above their personal interests.

"The principle of reorganizing the army is to be close to the nearest and not far away, and not small but not large, and the retreating army on Shukou, if there is no special need, will be merged under the command of Heyanweidu. Originally, the soldiers and horses belonging to Chengdu Road were all under the control of Wang Kui, and the envoy had agreed to give Wang Tong the name of the deputy capital of Kuizhou, and all the remnants of the capital. ”

Wang Kui's eyes lit up, although this Zheng Dutong has an amazing reputation and extremely strict discipline, he is really good to himself, the battle has not yet started, he was promoted to an official first, not to mention that Chengdu Mansion is not actually the whole army is wiped out, the troops are scattered, and it is not a problem for him to seriously collect and expand 10,000 people, although Zheng Dutong's discipline is uncomfortable, but people and food are the first.

He only concentrates on looting money and deducting food and salary on weekdays, and never asks about outside things, how can he understand the history of Zheng Yunming's start in Jinghu? If he had paid a little attention to the rumors in Jinghu, he should have understood that Zheng Yunming's handling of the existing army had never been the focus, and the focus had fallen on the latter one.

"On the question of recruiting new troops." Zheng Yunming glanced at the generals under the seat, everyone's interest diminished a lot, the recruits can't make accounts, at most they can only charge a ration money, but the Mongols have to return soon, when their lives are at stake, they can't just think about how to collect military salaries, or have some brothers who can fight in their hands to save their lives, this truth is understood by all the generals in Sichuan, so they are willing to expand their military membership and get food and salary, as for training a new army from scratch, no one has the energy and time.

"You don't have to worry about it, you can make up for the vacancies caused by war damage and flight under your own establishment, and I will take care of the recruitment of the new army. The imperial court has given the Sichuan Xuanfu envoy a list of flags and a letter of appointment, and set the scope of the establishment of a new army, and I discussed with Li Xuanfu's envoy and decided to use the old establishment of Taizong, a total of 40 battalions of the horse infantry army, each battalion has 500 people, and each battalion has a commander who is ready to lead the above officers, which is still called the battalion commander. Every three battalions are under the leadership of one general for a total of thirteen people, and the remaining battalion is a back battalion, which is under my direct control. In addition, the six battalions of the Navy were selected and used as a round-trip connection in the river. ”

The total number of troops in the two armies of the 6th Water is more than 20,000 people, which is not a remarkable number in the eyes of the Sichuan generals. Like Jinghu, Xishu had a tradition of using a large number of irregular troops to fight, which was called Zhongyi in the imperial court, but the difference was that the Zhongyi people in Jinghu and Lianghuai were all red jacket thieves and Jin army troops who fled from the north, while the Zhongyi people in Sichuan were mostly composed of local residents. In terms of numbers, Sichuan's loyal and righteous troops are absolutely not small, and more than 100,000 loyal and righteous people often participate in an ordinary attack or defense in Shukou, and naturally these loyal and righteous people often have no weapons or only very rudimentary weapons, and they need to seize the enemy's weapons and even pick up the weapons of their own dead officers and soldiers, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

How much stronger can these so-called new armies convened by Zheng Yunming be than those of the loyal and righteous? The generals of Kawanaka all had a skeptical attitude, but they did not dare to say it openly.

Zheng Yunming continued: "The following will be the most critical issue, that is, the problem of Sichuan's future strategy of war and defense, you are all generals in Sichuan, Zheng is just a newcomer, but Zheng is brave today, and set a foundation for Sichuan's future strategy to resist the Hu people, that is, to abandon the plain land in western Sichuan, stick to the mountains and rivers in eastern Sichuan, first seek to hold on, and then advance steadily." ”

As soon as he said this, there was an uproar in the hall. Zheng Yunming's new arrival in Sichuan, a Huguang guest general, actually dared to propose to give up the most essential part of Xishu to the enemy, this is not only unacceptable to the army and the people, in the eyes of the state, Zheng Yunming can be punished almost immediately.
