Chapter 676: A New Staff Officer

（0676）

After Brother Wei went out,.

Launching an offensive along the Grand Canal requires a series of cooperation from all branches of the Tiger Army, as well as a unified understanding of the Tiger Army, and spontaneously allocating resources for the Grand Canal. Pull the whole body, and all aspects must be carefully measured. This is not a short-term act, it is a long-term strategy, and there are many aspects involved.

It's a pity that due to his background, there are really few people with strategic vision around Zhang Zhun. It seems that Yang Zhiyuan, Hao Linyong, Yang Zixuan and others can have a certain tactical vision, which is already very good. Strategic vision, which is basically equal to zero. It's difficult, in these years, there are not many scholars, military schools or something, there are no at all. Ordinary people don't even know the country's topography, mountains, rivers, roads and bridges, what kind of strategic vision do they talk about?

Why were the top echelons of the Ming Dynasty basically civilian? In addition to the strategy of using literature to control the military, many generals do not have a strategic vision, which is also an important reason. People like Qi Jiguang are very few after all. Most of the officers of the Ming Dynasty only knew their own one-third of an acre of land, and they knew very little about the general trend of the world and the overall military affairs of the country.

Culture alone is a huge obstacle. At present, there are more than 100 general military officers in the Ming Dynasty, and I am afraid that less than 30% of them are literate. It seems that Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, He Renlong and the like, simply don't recognize a basket of big characters. With such a level of education, it is indeed impossible to coordinate all affairs.

If you want to improve the culture of the army, it will not happen overnight. The cultural people of the Ming Dynasty can basically have a better way to live, and they don't need to be Qiu Ba at all. The so-called good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail. It is simply impossible to find cultural people among the middle and lower ranks of the Ming army. And the Ming army also did not impose cultural cultivation measures.

At that time, Qi Jiguang, in order to let the soldiers at the grassroots level also know some commonly used words, which was more conducive to memorizing strict military law, but he racked his brains. The rule of knowing one word a day was created by Qi Jiguang. Under Qi Jiguang's vigorous advocacy, the cultural level of Qi's army is indeed higher than that of any other Ming army. It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the Qi family army is also closely related to culture and education. It's a pity that after Qi Jiguang, no one has implemented such a regulation.

Since its establishment, the Tiger Ben Army has actively implemented the rule of knowing one word a day, and now, more than a year has passed, and the effect can only be said to be average. Under the strong constraints of military law, each soldier can basically barely complete the task. However, there are not many excellent talents. For the study of cultural courses, military households have congenital deficiencies, which is definitely not something that Zhang Zhun can easily change.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhun felt that someone was approaching him, and when he looked back, he saw a familiar figure, which was the red lady. The guard at the door should have known the relationship between the Red Lady and Zhang Zhun, so he didn't need to report it, so he let the Red Lady in. The red lady was worried that it would affect Zhang Zhun, so she crept in, and in the eyes of others, it was a bit mysterious and unsightly.

Zhang Zhun was thinking about the strategy of the Grand Canal, but he didn't have any thoughts about the Red Lady, although the Red Lady's face was flushed, her breasts were high, and her buttocks were high, which was indeed very attractive. He said a little strangely, "You...... What to do? ”

The red lady's face was flushed, so delicate that it seemed to be a spring flower that was about to bloom, shy and shy, but charming and infinite. The relationship between her and Zhang Zhun is very awkward, and every time they meet, they have to be a little restrained and uneasy. She was even a little scared to see Zhang Zhun. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "I...... The master called me. ”

Zhang Zhun looked at her suspiciously, and his thoughts began to fly.

What did the Iron Harrier call her for? Is it to be entrusted for life? That's not right! The red lady not only has a master, but also a father, even if it is entrusted for life, it should be the father! How could it be the master's turn to come forward?

…… Khan, I want to be crooked again.

The red lady said hesitantly: "The master said...... Say ......"

Zhang Zhun was a little suspicious again.

Looking at her spitting and spitting, is it really to be entrusted for life? Could it be that the red lady was shy and didn't dare to ask her father to come forward, so she let her master come forward? There's something weird about that.

Fortunately, before Zhang Zhun wanted to be crooked completely, the red lady finally said: "...... Some of his other disciples, who are my senior brothers, want to ...... Sign up for the military. ”

Zhang Zhun breathed a sigh of relief.

Sign up to join the army, how do you make it look like a god? I thought you were going to confess, but it turned out that it wasn't like that at all. However, it's okay to think crookedly. At this time, it is not a good time to talk about the private relationship between men and women, so let's wait until Huang Taiji is defeated.

The Red Lady further explained that the Iron Harrier had more than a dozen apprentices, and after seeing the might of the Tiger Army, he moved the idea of joining the army. In fact, in these years, there is a shortage of soldiers, and acrobatics can't make a lot of money, and even their lives will be in danger at any time. In troubled times, human life is really like a mustard. If you don't have a little strength to protect yourself, no one can guarantee whether you can see the sun tomorrow.

For these brothers and sisters of the Red Lady, the Tiger Ben Army is obviously a huge talisman. As long as you rely on the Tiger Ben Army, even if the Tartars kill it, you don't have to worry. It's just that they don't know if the Tiger Ben Army will take them in. After all, they had missed their best chance to join the Tiger Army. At the beginning, when the Tiger Ben Army was mobilized in Beizhili, they did not believe the propaganda of the Tiger Ben Army.

Zhang Zhun nodded, and said quietly: "You bring them!" I'll see. ”

The red lady hurriedly turned around and went.

Soon, she came with a dozen boys.

There are really a lot of apprentices of the Iron Harrier, and there may be dozens of them in total. Those who are willing to join the army are the dozen or so in front of them. They are all young boys who practice juggling, and their physical quality is obviously good, and their basic skills are solid. In fact, juggling is the same as martial arts, both of which must be trained from an early age. If you are over the age of 10 and your bones are basically set, it will be difficult to train.

Zhang Zhun tested a few simple actions and found that their innate conditions were indeed good. If you train strictly, you can become a sniper in the future. People who have a foundation in martial arts training have excellent performance in terms of willpower and endurance. This is the basis for being a good sniper. On the contrary, talent and the like are not very important.

The Tiger Ben Army now does not lack ordinary soldiers, but lacks some relatively high-end soldiers. To be precise, there is a lack of some promising soldiers. If they join, it can indeed strengthen the strength of the Tiger Army in some aspects. With the continuous expansion of the Tiger Army, each unit has to form its own elite special detachment to perform special tasks, which requires many soldiers with special talents.

However, just like the Cangzhou Volunteers, Zhang Zhun was still a little worried about their discipline. Anyone who joins the Tiger Army must strictly abide by the discipline of the Tiger Army, which cannot be changed. Even if it is a special position like Mo Yu, he doesn't dare to mess around, let alone others.

Zhang Zhun said sternly: "You want to join the Tiger Ben Army, there is no problem, I will accept it!" However, the discipline of our Tiger Army is very strict, and if you can't accept it, I will ask you to leave! This is the army, not a gang organization, nor a sect, only qualified and unqualified, I hope you understand! ”

The dozen or so boys all said that they would definitely do their best to adapt to the requirements of the Tiger Army. Actually, it is not very difficult for them to accept this. Their original training was actually very hard, and there were strict ancestral family rules. The discipline of the Tiger Ben Army is just a variant of the ancestral family rules.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said to Lu Yidian: "Take them down and explain to them the treatment and discipline requirements of the Tiger Army." If they can accept it, they will be sent to Zhang Youcai's Shunzi camp to receive basic training. If they can't accept it, let them go back and forth from wherever they want. ”

Lu Yidian agreed.

The red lady solved a major event, a big stone in her heart fell to the ground, and she couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief, and said gratefully: "Thank you!" ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "You introduced me to manpower, it should be me thank you!" ”

The red lady said sincerely: "You have saved so many people, we are all grateful to you!" ”

Zhang Zhun said curiously: "Oh? How so? ”

The red lady said gently: "I just walked around the city, and many people talked about you. They all said that if it weren't for you, they would have all been killed by the Tartars, or taken away by the Tartars. If you want to say who has the power to drive the Tartars away, only you. ”

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly and said casually: "I see, thank you for the compliment." ”

The red lady said goodbye and left.

Brigadier Zhang sent her to the door, and then turned back to continue pondering the map on the wall.

He estimated that Huang Taiji would definitely lead the forward battalion to pounce when he learned that he was in Texas. Huang Taiji's resentment towards himself is absolutely undoubted. After the battle in Dongjiabao, the two of them will continue to compete near Texas.

Soon after, someone came to ask for a meeting, but the name of the report was unfamiliar. However, the person who introduced him to his arrival has a very good background. This person is Yang Zhiyuan. It is really a bit strange for Yang Zhiyuan to introduce a person to come. Zhang Zhun said casually: "Please let him in." ”

A moment later, a young scholar-like figure appeared in front of Zhang Zhun. He is probably in his twenties, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, his appearance is not bad, and there is a shrewdness in his eyes. No matter how Zhang Zhun looked, he didn't see any connection between him and Yang Zhiyuan.

Zhang Zhun asked coldly, "Who are you?" ”

The person who came hurriedly said: "Xiaosheng Wang Shide is Cao Siming's nephew. ”

Zhang Zhun said bluntly: "I don't know you. ”

Wang Shide said euphemistically: "Cao Siming is Xiaosheng's uncle. Xiaosheng's original surname was Cao, and he later passed on to the Wang family and changed his surname to Wang. In fact, since Jiangnan came back, Xiaosheng has been living in Caojiabao. ”

Zhang Zhun said casually: "You came to me, is there anything wrong?" ”

Wang Shide said respectfully: "Xiaosheng heard from my uncle that adults lack some staff officers. Xiaosheng happened to have some culture and wanted to serve the Governor, so he took the initiative to meet Yang Zhiyuan, the commander of the Biaozi Battalion. After talking to Xiao Sheng, he suggested that Xiao Sheng come directly to Lord Dudu. Therefore, Xiaosheng dared to come. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully, looked at this Wang Shide for a moment, and said slowly: "Yang Zhiyuan introduced you to me as a staff officer, didn't you?" ”

Wang Shide said respectfully: "Xiaosheng was originally under the disciple of Teacher Huguang, and he also learned some basic knowledge of marching and fighting, and Commander Yang did have such a suggestion. ”

Zhang Zhun looked him up and down again, then looked at the map on the wall, and said in a deep voice: "You look at the map on the wall first, what do you think?" ”

Wang Shide raised his head and stared at the map for a moment, and said cautiously: "Your Excellency should let a fleet of ships enter the canal immediately and control the line from Dezhou to Weishan Lake." If possible, the adult fleet can be stationed at Weishan Lake. ”

Zhang Zhun asked quietly, "Why?" ”

Wang Shide said: "Weishan Lake is located at the junction of Henan, Nanzhili and Shandong, which can be attacked and defended, as long as there is enough infantry to assist, you can monitor the land of the three provinces. As long as the adults station gunboats in Weishan Lake, Yanzhou Mansion will be cut off from the outside world. When adults want to recover Yanzhou Mansion, they can recover Yanzhou Mansion whenever they want. ”

After a slight pause, Wang Shide continued: "In ancient China, there were divisions between Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake. The war between Emperor Taizu and Chen Youliang was fought in Poyang Lake. It can be seen that in inland rivers, the status of gunboats is still very important. The adult's army has a large number of gunboats, and Xiaosheng thinks that the governor might as well use the canal, the Yangtze River, and the Yellow River as the backbone and gradually unfold. ”

"The Governor's warship does not have to fight, and it is also very important to be responsible for logistics and supply. Transportation by land, high cost, slow speed, vulnerable to enemy interception. Comparatively speaking, water transportation is low-cost, fast, and relatively safe. As long as the adults control the rivers and rivers and can transport troops and materials in large quantities, the enemy is not the opponent of the adults. ”

"In fact, as long as the southeast half of the wall is occupied, the world will basically be decided. Shaanxi's rogues can't make a big deal. At that time, adults can go out of Shanxi from Beizhili, follow the route of Li Tang in the past, and pacify Shaanxi. Shaanxi is established, then the army can enter Sichuan. After the army enters Sichuan, it can go down the river and attack Huguang. At this point, the world is completely settled. ”

Zhang Zhun asked with some curiosity, "Where did you study?" ”

Wang Shide said respectfully: "He Fengsheng." ”

Zhang Zhun was obviously very unfamiliar with this name, and after thinking about it for a while, he didn't have any impression at all. In fact, this He Fengsheng is not a simple character, he once served as the first assistant of the imperial court. What's even more rare is that this person is actually deaf and mute. A deaf and mute person serving as the first assistant of the Ming Empire looks simply incredible. But he did.

Of course, that's history that hasn't been changed. After the trajectory of history is changed, what will happen to He Fengsheng's fate is still unknown for the time being. Judging from Wang Shide's response, this He Fengsheng still has some ability. After all, a scholar is a scholar, and in terms of vision and strategy, he is indeed better than a person from a military household.

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and said affirmatively: "Wang Shide, since you are Cao Siming's nephew and Yang Zhiyuan***, you also have some insight into the canal. You can be by my side for the time being. If you have other ideas, you can let me know. ”

Wang Shide hurriedly said: "It is great to be able to serve adults." It is already an honor for Xiaosheng to be able to serve as a staff officer by the side of adults. ”

Zhang Zhun said disapprerovingly: "I am a rebel. If you fail, everyone, including you, will lose their heads. ”

Wang Shide said bluntly: "Instead of the great rivers and mountains and fall into the hands of the Tartars, it is better for adults to replace them." Xiaosheng is willing to do his best to pacify the world. ”

Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "Wang Shide, if you only know how to pat on the back, the Tiger Army is not suitable for you." ”

Wang Shide's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said humbly: "What the adults are criticizing is! ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, and said casually: "It's better to be in time than to be in time, since you are here, go with me to the city defense army." ”

Wang Shide hurriedly said: "Okay! ”

The two immediately set off and went to the military camp in the northeast to inspect the city defense barracks.

The city defense army organized by the Tiger Ben Army actually eliminated all the original guards and military households, and then re-recruited them. Only those who meet the requirements are eligible to enroll. If they do not meet the requirements, each person will be given five acres of land and obediently cultivate. At this time, those who have the courage to sign up for the city defense army, not to mention anything else, the courage is definitely there.

Originally, there were a total of 5,000 households in Texas, and there were almost 10,000 people in Caoyun. After the arrival of the Tiger Army, all the soldiers of Caoyun retreated to Linqing. Therefore, most of the soldiers of the city defense army are from various thousand households. In addition, refugees from all over the country are also one of the main sources of the city defense army.

Whether it is the city defense army in Jinan or Dezhou, the treatment is the same as that of the Tiger Ben army. Their organization, establishment, training, command, work and rest, discipline, and barracks are the same as those of the Tiger Army. The only difference is that military uniforms and tiger guns have not yet been issued. At present, the logistics department of the Tiger Ben Army is working overtime to manufacture military uniforms and weapons, and I believe that it will not be long before they are no different from the Tiger Ben Army.

The commander of the Dezhou City Defense Army, called Zhou Jieming, is also a veteran who has fought in Liaodong. He turned out to be a veteran of the Thousand Households, and he was quite popular. The other officers of the city defense army also had experience in fighting with the Tartars. The so-called things gather by like, people by groups, the tiger army is the opponent of the Tartars, and the selected officers are naturally also the opponents of the Tartars.
