"Silence, now the meeting is open!"

More than a dozen people sat in a circle on a small open space in the center of Zhuoyu Village, with no tea or cigarettes. Under the strict vigilance of the militia Tuan Yong, a unique post-war summary meeting began simply.

Attending the meeting were more than 10 backbone members of the militia headed by Xie Yong. They are all outstanding performers in training these days, and they have been promoted by Rui'er to become the small leader of Tuanyong. Zhu Youzhen only got along with them for a day or two, and he couldn't even recognize them at this time.

Of course, the initiator, host and soul of the meeting is Zhu Youzhen, who appeared as the leader of the Jingyang Business Gang. He was the first to speak: "Our militia has won two battles and two victories, annihilating 200 bandits, which is a good start. Now let's talk about it, where did we win these two battles? Everyone has to say, say whatever you think, start with Xie Yong! ”

Xie Yongren is as his name suggests, and he is very brave in battle, but if he wants to conclude his speech, it will really be difficult for him. He held back for a long time before he said, "Where is the victory?" The bandits are stupid! ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and Zhu Youzhen asked, "Where are the bandits?" ”

"This..."Xie Yong stammered, "Their two hits, which is the opponent of our militia, I will cut down several in three moves and two styles!" Isn't that stupid? ”

Zhu Youzhen heard that he didn't speak well, but he didn't say anything to blame, but smiled slightly: "You said this very well." Everyone in our militia is fighting bravely to kill the enemy, especially you backbone elements, who are not weak under your hands. On the battlefield, it is possible to win a battle only if one has the most basic combat qualities. If you can talk on paper, when you encounter an enemy who rushes up with a knife and gun, you are scared to pee your pants, what else is there to fight? ”

Everyone laughed again, and Zhu Youzhen motioned for the next person to continue speaking. The level of these people is also comparable to that of reconciliation and bravery, some say that the bandits are not good at martial arts, and some say that the militia is brave in combat, in short, there is nothing new, and none of them are to the point.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but sigh slightly, secretly thinking that peasants are peasants, although he had just put down his hoe and sickle and picked up a knife and gun, his military literacy could not be improved all at once. Before he crossed over, he was just an ordinary college student, and he didn't know anything about military affairs, but the level of these people in front of him was worse than his own! If this is directly driven to the battlefield and confronted the Mongols or even the Jurchens, it is not the same as driving directly into the meat grinder, and how many are sent.

Seeing that a circle of people was about to finish speaking, Zhu Youzhen's brain was also a little slippery, and he only thought about how to quickly invite Qi Meifeng, or find other people who are good at military affairs, and train these leaders well.

At this time, it was the last person to speak, but it was a half-old child of fifteen or sixteen. His stature is shorter than Zhu Youzhen, he looks very thin, and his face is childish.

Zhu Youzhen was wondering, why did Rui'er look away and choose a child as the leader?

But as soon as this person opened his mouth, Zhu Youzhen was taken aback: "I think we can defeat the bandits for three main reasons!" ”

The rest of the leaders immediately laughed and said, "You stinky boy hasn't grown a full beard, and you're still talking about one, two, three?" ”

Xie Yong even sneered: "Don't talk about the beard, you little guy has fine skin and tender meat, but you look like a big girl!" I think you should not stay in the militia group, it is appropriate to go back to Qinwangzhuang to wash clothes and embroider embroidery! ”

The latter was sneered at by everyone, and his face turned red with shame, and he swallowed back the words that had just come to his mouth.

Zhu Youzhen was in good spirits, and first sternly reprimanded Xie Yong: "We are in a meeting now, and anyone can speak!" Even if you don't talk like you, you dare to be sarcastic? ”

Xie Yong was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue, and quickly lowered his head and said nothing.

Only then did Zhu Youzhen encourage the latter and said: "You can tell me, what are the three points?" ”

Hou Sheng said a little timidly: "First, we have a clear picture of the situation of the bandits, but the bandits don't know about our militia at all. We fought these two battles after careful preparation, but the bandits responded in a hurry, and it is strange that they can win them. ”

"Well said!" Zhu Youzhen praised loudly, "The art of war is cloudy: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Although you are speaking in the vernacular, the truth is the same. And then to the second point! ”

"This second," Zhu Youzhen encouraged, and the later life became bolder, and his tone became more and more coherent, "We have many more people than bandits. In the first battle, there were only more than forty bandits; In the second battle, although they increased to more than 100 people, they were first knocked down by half of the stone wall, and then dozens of people were killed by the rocks, and when they really started, there were only thirty or forty people. And our militia has 400 people, and ten fight one, so it's not simple? ”

Zhu Youzhen listened more and more seriously, and blurted out praise: "You said it very well, this is called 'concentrating superior forces and annihilating the enemy individually'!" What about the third point? ”

"The third point is the most important!" At this time, Hou Sheng had completely ignored the existence of the other leaders, and a pair of big bright eyes radiated a blazing light, and said firmly, "We are not fighting in these two battles, but outwitting!" ”

"Tell me about it!" Zhu Youzhen was like discovering a new continent at this time, staring at this posterity, for fear that he would grow wings and fly away.

Na Housheng smiled slightly: "I have carefully observed, at the end of the second battle, although those bandits were surrounded by us and finally stabbed to death with spears, they still held on for a long time, which shows that they are not weak under their hands!" Brother Xie, Brother Zhang, and Brother Li, you are the most capable of fighting in the militia group, but if you were in the encirclement at that time, would you dare to say that you would have held out longer than those bandits? ”

"What nonsense are you little bunny! How dare you curse your eldest brother, how can I be there? Xie Yonggang scolded, and suddenly saw Zhu Youzhen's murderous cold gaze, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything anymore.

The other two named are Zhang Yunfeng and Li Yongping, both of whom are leaders of the militia with good combat effectiveness. They didn't blame this descendant, but thought about it, scratched their heads embarrassedly and smiled: "Ahhhh If we had changed, we might not have been able to catch up with those bandits! ”

"That's right!" Hou Sheng clapped his hands and smiled, "In other words, if we fight with the bandits knife against gun, and we are fighting in the open, I'm afraid it is not certain who wins and who loses!" Even if we can win, we will definitely have to suffer a lot of casualties. But we didn't even have a single minor injury, the main reason is that we used our brains! In the first battle, the bandits had just come out of the bed, and they were still staring; In the second battle, they didn't even see our figures, and more than half of them died! …”

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he couldn't hold back his excitement anymore, suddenly got up and jumped to the next generation, and said in surprise: "What's your name?" ”

The latter hurriedly saluted respectfully and said, "The villain's name is Li Dingguo." ”

"Li Dingguo?" Zhu Youzhen only felt that the name was a little familiar, and he was busy using his brain, desperately searching for it in his not too rich historical knowledge.

Suddenly, his whole body shook, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Li Dingguo!" Are you the one..."

It turned out that Zhu Youzhen had already thought about it: In the turbulent era of the late Ming Dynasty, although there were many military generals, most of them were vain, and there were very few who could compete with the Houjin Army with real swords and guns.

Like the heroes Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, although they had a good time in the battle with the Ming army, as soon as the Qing army entered the customs, they were all defeated and died in a short time.

And the Guanning Iron Cavalry, known as the most elite in the Ming army, had a lackluster record after Yuan Chonghuan's death. Zu Dashou struggled for several years, and finally ran out of ammunition and surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

As for Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and others, although they led the troops as civilian officials and had a good reputation as a god, they were helpless against the Houjin army, and they died and surrendered.

But there is one person who is much less famous than them, and he has been able to defeat the Qing army repeatedly, and that is Li Dingguo!

In that period of history, Li Dingguo was originally the adopted son of Zhang Xianzhong, the "Eight Kings", and later grew up to be a general of the Great Western Army. can be completely different from Zhang Xianzhong's cruelty and killing, Li Dingguo's army is strict in military discipline and has committed no crimes against the people.

After Zhang Xianzhong's defeat, when the Chinese nation was in danger, Li Dingguo proceeded from the national righteousness, resolutely abandoned his previous suspicions, switched to the Nanming regime, and then began his glorious journey.

He first invaded Guangxi from Hunan, besieged Guilin, defeated the defenders, and forced Kong Youde, the commander of the Qing army and the great traitor King of Dingnan, to commit suicide; Immediately afterwards, he returned to Hunan, fought successively, and took Changsha directly.

The Qing court was shocked when they heard the news, and sent Nurhachi's grandson, the son of the Great Belle Chuying, Prince Jing Jing Nikan, to lead 100,000 elite soldiers of the Eight Banners to aid Changsha, hoping to extinguish Li Dingguo in one fell swoop.

Li Dingguo avoided the enemy's spirit, deliberately abandoned Changsha and retreated southward, luring Nikan to go deep alone. Nikan really hit the plan and was surrounded by Li Dingguo's regiment in Hengzhou. Li Dingguo led the army to attack on all sides, and finally annihilated the Qing army and beheaded Nikan. If you talk about the glory of the results of the war and the high status of the Jurchen generals, throughout the more than 60 years of war between the Ming and Qing dynasties, there is no one who can stand out!

It's a pity that Nanming is really a dou who can't be supported, and there are frequent internal frictions and self-destruction of the Great Wall. In the end, Emperor Yongli was defeated and left Burma and was captured and killed by Wu Sangui. Li Dingguo also died of depression, a generation of generals fell, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty finally completely occupied the great rivers and mountains of China.

At this time, looking at the half-grown child in front of him, Zhu Youzhen secretly thought that he wouldn't just have the same name as a celebrity, right? Besides, Li Dingguo should be Zhang Xianzhong's person, how could he run to his own militia?

But when he thought about it, with the insight of this later life, even if he was not that Li Dingguo, he was definitely a talent that could be created!

And since the time crossing, history has repeatedly deviated from the trajectory it knows well. Who can guarantee that the time-space chaos caused by himself will not let Li Dingguo, a god-given general, fall directly into his account!
