Chapter 51: Interrogation of the Captives
After Tan Feng explained the advantages of the Han people, everyone still seemed to understand something, but Tan Feng didn't need them to understand it thoroughly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć However, Tan Feng still has to carry out various affairs in the future, especially that he will personally interrogate these prisoners. This time, the scouts still captured some enemy scouts, and these enemy scouts were important prisoners and an important source of information.
"Tell me, what are you? Which unit of the imperial court is it? As long as you are honest, I won't kill you, who made you the banner people, but we don't have the bad habit of directly slaughtering prisoners! Tan Feng asked.
The scouts of the Eight Banners looked at these well-trained and disciplined troops, and they didn't know that these people were not horse thieves at all. These "horse thieves" are more like horse thieves than their Eight Banners, but the Eight Banners are more like horse thieves. Although the Eight Banners have begun to decay day by day, at least the corruption of discipline and combat effectiveness does not mean that they are personally fools and cannot see the quality of these troops.
"You're not a horse thief, you're a thief?" Someone suddenly asked.
Tan Feng laughed and said, "Don't you know a word? It's hard to be confused! People who know too much often don't live long! However, I don't plan to hide it for long, and since you have all sent troops to surround us, then we don't need to be polite. ā
Those Eight Banner scouts were also very nervous in their hearts, these Han people were not ordinary horse thieves, they were definitely anti-thieves. If it's just a horse thief, don't be afraid. But if it's a thief with a political purpose, it's terrible. The contradiction between the Han people and the banner people, they are also deeply aware of it, if the Han people rebel, the first to clean up are these flag people.
"Say, don't me off! If I'm honest, I wouldn't kill the captives casually! Tan Feng said.
The servants of the Eight Banners quickly said: "The imperial court has put the Heilongjiang general Fu Erdan in command, and let the three generals send troops to encircle and suppress you, and help the Mongolian nobles recover their fiefs." They asked us to do the forward scouting, as scouts. This time, General Fu Dan directly planned to encircle and suppress you from the division of troops and the division of troops into three routes. ā
Tan Feng asked curiously: "You ordinary soldiers know about this important military battle plan of dividing the soldiers into three routes?" ā
"Yes! The court just thought it was a siege and suppression of horse thieves, and it didn't know that you were ...... It's ......" that Eight Banners scout didn't dare to say the word "anti-thief".
Horse thief and anti-thief, although it is only a word difference, but the internal meaning is very different!
"Very well, put them down and watch them!" Tan Feng said.
After the three Eight Banner scouts were escorted down, Tan Feng began to feel relieved, and said, "This group of Manqin Imperial Court still treats us as horse thieves, so we can also rest assured." Because they are still the eternal horse thieves to measure us, then we can take countermeasures accordingly. Especially since they have already made a plan to divide their troops into three ways, even such an important opportunity has been known to ordinary low-level soldiers, which is enough to prove how arrogant they are. ā
Wang Jingwen also nodded and said: "Yes, these people in the Manchu court are too arrogant, especially this Fu Erdan, who didn't take us seriously at all, and is still a traditional horse thief who treats us as an idea." Even letting these low-level soldiers know about such an important plan to divide the troops into three ways shows that they are already very arrogant, they are completely ignoring us, almost equivalent to telling us the plan. Even this kind of military plan is not kept secret, and this practice is simply overestimating their combat effectiveness and seriously underestimating our combat effectiveness. They thought we were soft persimmons! ā
"Of course, they still think we're soft persimmons. Even if we defeated tens of thousands of Mongol cavalry, they still thought we were soft persimmons, and in their eyes we were just a group of horse thieves who defeated the Mongols by luck, and our real strength would not be very strong. So they will inevitably have such a result, and they will not choose to think that we are also powerful. For thousands of years, the cavalry of our Han people has not been the opponent of these nomads. This is thousands of years of historical experience, and thousands of years of historical experience are certainly rich, but it will also shackle their eyes. Thousands of years of historical experience have given them deep-seated empirical errors, which gives us the most important means to defeat them. Tan Feng said.
Tan Feng quickly interrogated the corresponding information, and he knew that the Eight Banners cavalry involved in the attack had a total of 10,000 nominal cavalry, but they were not absolutely elite cavalry. These cavalrymen are all cavalry of the Eight Banners, and they do not participate in very strict training on weekdays, and their military quality is worrying.
Even these Eight Banner Cavalry are divided into guards, soldiers, horsemen, and horsemen are not necessarily cavalry, but only represent ranks, similar to the division of first-class soldiers, second-class soldiers, and third-class soldiers in later generations.
The real cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty participated in the encirclement and suppression of about 6,000 people this time, and the others were some infantry, including the heavy armored infantry of the Manchu special arms. As for the other types of troops, including some armored men or something, it's just a bunch of nonsense.
"I really obeyed these Manchu generals, such a complex establishment relationship, such a complex class of troops, there is no chaos? They don't even have a staff department, and they dare to command such a complex military system, which really convinces them! With such a complex establishment system, if there is no unified coordination of the General Staff, it is strange that you can command it in a stable manner! Now you haven't started fighting, maybe you haven't shown your problems yet, but once you start fighting, your problems will come to the fore. ā
"However, in this case, we must also learn from the lessons and set up various operational staff officers as soon as possible! Jingwen, we will immediately hold a meeting to establish our operational staff system, select and train a number of qualified operational staff officers as soon as possible, and ensure that our military command has sufficient ability to ensure that we can command operations in the future! Jingwen, go and call the people of your Wang family, this time I will entrust them with a heavy task. ā
"In the past, those times were wronged by them, but now they can really be reused!"
When Wang Jingwen heard this, she also smiled, and felt a lot more relieved, because Tan Feng began to reuse the people of their family, which represented trust and the future development of the Wang family.
