Chapter 58: Time and Space

After Tan Feng waited until the cattle and sheep were distributed, Wang Jingwen also came over to report: "Commander, we have distributed most of our cattle and sheep to the Mongolian herdsmen, and they have also shared their favors. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Very well, according to the plan, we have already retreated! Order all the troops to prepare for a strategic transfer, and we will temporarily avoid the edge of this group of Qing troops, and retreat quickly. The Qing army has just attacked now, and the strength is still very concentrated, if we rush to fight hard, we will lose a lot! Tan Feng said.

Tan Feng ordered the troops and began to pack up their things and prepare to retreat. Tan Feng was already planning a temporary strategic shift and abandoning these Mongol tribes. Anyway, these Mongols are not Han Chinese, so it doesn't hurt to give up for the time being, but it will be of great benefit. Let the troops pack up their things and start heading west, in short, to avoid the Manchu Eight Banners troops coming from the east.

"Jingwen, this time we retreated, not to escape, but to transfer strategy. This time, most of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will become scattered one by one as our biography shifts. With this dispersion, we are more able to concentrate our superior forces and then annihilate them. This will help us a lot to avoid losses, and I'll tell you a square ratio, a very important square ratio, which will be of great help for the next battle. Tan Feng said.

Tan Feng then told Wang Jingwen about the blue chester square rate of the First World War, and Wang Jingwen quickly understood.

"Isn't this telling us that we must have a military superiority? Isn't this what we have had since ancient times, and we want to strive to mobilize more troops to form a local superiority in forces and use it to defeat the enemy? Even including the commander of your new cavalry, is it in a relatively small place to form a force advantage to defeat the traditional cavalry? With this level, it will be much easier for us in the future. Wang Jingwen said.

Tan Feng nodded and replied: "In fact, in the past, many of our generals also used this method, that is, they adopted the principle of this flat method, in the case of relatively insufficient troops, they can mobilize troops as much as possible to form a force advantage in the local area, so as to eat the enemy who is inferior in the local area, and finally eat the enemy piece by piece like a piecemeal kraft candy." This is a tried and tested method that we have been playing since ancient times, but many people don't know why, and this equation is the reason for this process. ”

"This, that is, the benefits of civilization. A nation that is not civilized enough may have one or two geniuses. But a nation with enough civilization can guarantee that everyone is a genius. Why did Genghis Khan of the Mongols decline greatly after the death of Temujin and his sons? That's because they weren't civilized enough, and they might have been Temujin's geniuses, but this kind of genius survived entirely by feeling, by personal experience and personal feelings, and could not effectively pass on the feelings of experience to others. ”

"We are different, we have excellent writing, we have excellent various disciplines. I can tell you this method of concentrating superior forces and then conducting a decisive battle to calculate combat effectiveness, and I can also tell more people. Once all our generals understand this principle, won't it be a major improvement in the command ability of our generals? This is also civilization, and the advantage of civilization is the greatest advantage of our Han people. ”

The advantage of civilization does not necessarily lie in the number of geniuses in this nation, but in the fact that this genius can pass on his experience, achievements, and various things to future generations. He is even able to pass on the results of his experience and teach his compatriots, so that people all over the world can enjoy his results in a timely manner, and are even more likely to stand on his shoulders and see the world. But those barbarians do not have these advantages, they may be able to produce one or two geniuses for a while, but that genius will not be able to pass on his own experience and ability, and once he dies, he will completely collapse.

The Mongols were like this, one of the greatest manifestations of this, when the first leaders died, they collapsed in an instant. On the contrary, the Han people can have generations of knowledge to pass on and improve from generation to generation, so that they have defeated the nomads again and again. The essence of destroying nomads is not firearms, but civilization. This is true in both the East and the West, and it is not the firearms that defeat the nomads, but the civilization behind them.

"Jingwen, this time our strategy has shifted, although we are retreating, but for us, the forces have been concentrated. The idea is that the Manchu Qing Dynasty's forces will be expanded with space, and then dispersed step by step. As a result, we have formed a great military superiority in the local area, and those Manchus are just the opposite, they want to help those Mongol Guiguzi to restore their rule, so they must have to disperse their forces, help to suppress those Mongol herdsmen, and finally disperse their forces. ”

"The Mongolian steppe is so big that even if there are tens of thousands of them, it is still very rare. We can dilute their forces with huge land. But we will go to concentrate relatively on the other, and then, when necessary, we can eat the scattered Manchu troops piece by piece like kraft candy. ”

"This is to exchange space for time, and many military strategies are inseparable from space and time. Why do some battles drag out time, while others need to be resolved quickly? It is nothing more than the two elements of war that are at work, space and time. Give up some territory, dilute the enemy's forces, and then take this opportunity to mobilize our own combat power, which is to exchange space for time. On the contrary, some strategic points must be defended, creating opportunities for other allies to conquer the city, this is to exchange time for space! ”

"Between the two, you have to go through careful and precise calculations to know whether it is worth it or not. It varies depending on the situation, so you can keep it in mind! ”

Wang Jingwen took out the pen and ink and hurriedly wrote down Tan Feng's words, so that as the most important experience and knowledge can be handed down. This is also the benefit of civilization, with civilization can easily pass on their own experience and knowledge, can be easily passed on to their compatriots and future generations, but in the future, compatriots and future generations will still easily stand on your shoulders to develop the country and the nation, so that the country and the nation can move forward step by step. As for those barbarians, without this condition, they may be temporarily strong again and again, but the collapse is also very sudden, and the most important embodiment is that the Mongolian Temujin in those years prospered suddenly, but the collapse was also very fast.
