Chapter 570: Preliminary Planning (2)

In the process of Qin Liangyu's telling, Su Tiancheng's mind came up with the shadow of the supervising army, the supervising army in various places, a huge part of them are eunuchs, these eunuchs, who occupy the trust of the emperor, often control the power of the army, Qin Liangyu's husband died at the hands of the eunuchs, in addition to the supervising army, some generals, I am afraid they also look down on the Tusi army and the minority army, this consciousness is universal, I have to admit it.

When such a situation occurs, it is completely infighting, and as for the sergeant of the guard in Sichuan, why he can't get military salaries, why he can't support his family, all the answers are clear.

This is a typical case of relatives and enemies.

Su Tiancheng was a little speechless, he was also angry when such a problem appeared, but there was no good solution for the time being.

The Ming Dynasty sergeant mutiny, there were a lot, one after another, the root is still on the top, the sergeant wants to live, can't get military salary, can't support his family, in the army, but also suffer from the officer's exploitation, there is really no way, so the mutiny, from the materials of the Ministry of War, there are about two million guards in the country, this is really a great irony.

Once upon a time, the imperial court couldn't even support a few officials, and it was not a fantasy to think about maintaining such a huge army, so the soldiers in various places mutinied, and the imperial court also knew it, so they could only turn a blind eye and not investigate deeply, but the existence of this situation greatly damaged the honor of the army, just like dominoes, one fell, and the rest fell.

There is basically no hope for the combat effectiveness of the army of the guard, in order to be able to survive, they do everything, even if it is about steel knives reaching out to the people, they don't care, such an army. Besides, it is impossible for the imperial court to maintain two million troops, and without so much financial and material support, the policy of military cantonment has come to the brink of collapse. It is simply impossible to sustain itself, and the best way to do this is to completely change the composition of the army, abolish the military household system, and implement the recruitment system in an all-round way.

"General Qin, these things, this official knows all about them, and in the process of fighting against the Liukou, General Qin has suffered a lot. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is clear, and the emperor is even clearer, so far, these grievances are put aside for the time being, or concentrate on thinking about how to deal with the Liukou, this is the map of Kuizhou Mansion, Baoning Mansion, Long'an Mansion and Tongchuan Prefecture and Chongqing Mansion, General Qin helped point it out. The specific places where the rogues are active and what is the distribution of troops. ”

The map spreads. Qin Liangyu walked to the front of the map and began to point out the places in detail, and Su Tiancheng used a brush to make marks in each place.

Qin Liangyu's grasp of the situation is very detailed, and it is more intuitive than the information provided by the dark line. Tell me about the combat effectiveness of the Liukou, as well as the detailed distribution of the Liukou, and of course, how many sergeants there are in each place. Qin Liangyu is not very clear.

Looking at the dense punctuation on the map, Su Tiancheng's face became more and more unsightly.

In the process of exterminating the rogue, the people may be harmed, and the army will attack, and it is impossible to achieve great results, in case this is the case, then it is necessary to take a decapitation action, that is, to smash the rogue lair, capture or kill the main leader of the rogue bandit, so that the rogue can be fundamentally exterminated.

When the situation is not very clear, Su Tiancheng will not express his position casually.

After Qin Liangyu introduced all the situation, she looked at Zhu Cihong and Su Tiancheng, in her heart, of course, she hoped that the army would be able to act, the Jiangning battalion was so brave and good at fighting, as long as it was dispatched, the rogue would definitely be terrified.

"General Qin, Xie Lu Xie You have introduced so much information, the general situation, the official knows the way, what to do specifically, the official still needs to think carefully, General Qin has come from afar, let's rest for the time being."

Qin Liangyu stood up suddenly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, my lord, the last general is not tired, the news that the Jiangning battalion came to Sichuan to exterminate the Liukou has spread, everyone knows the way, and also looks forward to the Jiangning battalion being able to take action as soon as possible, the last general came to visit today, and I also want to implore His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Lord to send troops, the Jiangning battalion has come to Sichuan, the Liukou must be panicked, take this opportunity, and with one blow, we will be able to completely defeat the Liukou."

Su Tiancheng shook his head slightly.

Zhu Cihong spoke.

"I thought what General Qin said was very reasonable, but I don't know what Lord Lu Dao Su thinks."

Su Tiancheng can only smile bitterly, Zhu Cihong is only ten years old, at such an age, it is easy to be fooled, Qin Liangyu's few words, said that Zhu Cihong, but I don't know that fighting is not as simple as it says, Qin Liangyu led the white pole army, combat effectiveness is still good, at least familiar with the terrain of Sichuan, and still defeated by Liukou's men, Jiangning Battalion rashly attacked, the end must be bad, this first battle is very important, must be victorious, so as to be able to boost morale, once again give Liukou a heavy blow, Even to demoralize the rogues.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister needs to explain, the Jiangning battalion has just arrived, and is not familiar with the terrain of Sichuan, although there is a detailed explanation of General Qin, but it still needs to be surveyed on the spot, in addition, where are the Liukou concentrated, what are the troops in each place, these are all to be roughly grasped, if you just arrived in Sichuan, rashly launch an attack, the outcome cannot be good."

After saying these words, Su Tiancheng looked at Qin Liangyu.

"General Qin, defeating the Liukou is divided into two aspects, the first aspect, of course, is to eliminate the vitality of the Liukou, this is needless to explain, the second aspect, is to defeat the Liukou from the spirit, including the morale of the Liukou, the battle must be two-pronged, so as to get unexpected results, and even get a complete victory, the Jiangning battalion came to Sichuan, the first battle is very important, the Liukou has been repeatedly defeated under the command of the Jiangning battalion, and the loss of sergeants has reached hundreds of thousands, General Qin just said, The news of Jiang Ningying's entry into Sichuan is well known, and in such a situation, the Liukou must have been prepared. ”

"Through General Qin's introduction, the official felt that the Liukou had undergone a great change, it can be said that it was a reborn change, when he was in Shaanxi, there were many Liukou leaders, basically they were all working independently, but before coming to Sichuan, they had undergone some changes, the leader of the Liukou Li Zicheng, was supported as the king of Chuang, this person's ability is extraordinary, he is afraid that the Jiangning battalion will launch an attack immediately, so that he can also maximize the morale by defeating the Jiangning battalion."

"After all, the rogues are afraid of the Jiangning camp from the bottom of their hearts."

"The Jiangning battalion must not give the rogues such a chance, they must make a detailed plan, either they will not move, or they must have more than eighty percent certainty to completely defeat the rogues."

Su Tian didn't have to explain these truths, but in order for Zhu Cihong to understand the truth, he still made a detailed explanation.

When Qin Liangyu heard these words, he felt that it was not a good taste.

"According to your intentions, you won't attack for the time being."

"That's the case, first of all, we need to investigate, and after we have a detailed grasp of the situation, the Jiangning battalion will start attacking."

Qin Liangyu's face turned a little red again.

"My lord, the Jiangning battalion is so brave, after coming to Sichuan, the last general and other officers are all overjoyed, looking forward to the Jiangning battalion being able to completely exterminate the rogues and restore peace to Sichuan."

"General Qin, your intentions, this official is clear, but this official has already made a decision, and he will not send troops for the time being."

Qin Liangyu thought about losing her temper, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was here, so she couldn't say anything.

After Qin Liangyu went to rest, Su Tiancheng immediately began to arrange.

"Qu Qingze, you send someone to pay attention to General Qin's every move and report it at any time."

"Liu Tiehan, the scout battalion will start to act immediately, according to the situation that General Qin said, conduct a detailed investigation, give the scout battalion a month, find out all the situation, it must be an accurate situation."

"Commander Hong asked all the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion to be vigilant, always ready, and not slack off in the slightest."

Everyone dispersed, and those who remained in the house were Zhu Cihong and Su Tiancheng.

"Lord Su, I don't understand, doesn't Lord Su trust General Qin?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister trusts General Qin very much, General Qin is a loyal martyr, and has made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty."

"Why don't you send troops to the Jiangning battalion, why do you want to pay attention to General Qin's every move."

Su Tiancheng paused slightly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, General Qin's white pole army, and the Liukou battle, suffered heavy losses, so the heart must be full of resentment, Jiangning Battalion came to Sichuan, exterminate the Liukou, General Qin thinks that the opportunity for revenge has arrived, how can Naichen need to figure out all the circumstances, will not act rashly, in this case, General Qin must be very disappointed, General Qin has repeatedly emphasized that the current opportunity is very good, Liukou must be a soldier, such an opportunity, can not be lost."

"I understand, what Lord Su meant, General Qin may take the opportunity to launch an attack on the Liukou."

"That's right, the minister is very worried, if General Qin launches an attack on the Liukou, maybe he will fall into the trap of the Liukou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just heard it, the Liukou pay attention to the intelligence, they are strictly disciplined, and they have the support of some of the people, so they can grasp the whereabouts of the army, but the minister does not know their specific whereabouts, in this case, they must not act rashly."

"That is to say, the Liukou is ready, and if General Qin launches an attack, there may be even heavier losses."

"The minister predicted that the Liukou would definitely be prepared, the Jiangning battalion came to Sichuan, they had no way out, returned to Shaanxi, there was no way out, they wanted to think of Shanxi, they had to pass through Henan Mansion, they had no advantage, besides, Shaanxi and Henan Fu, the view of the Liukou has changed, the Liukou to these places, there is no foundation, only passive beating, so they will not leave Sichuan for the time being, they will do their best to fight with the army, the minister thinks, it is still necessary to wait until the morale of the Liukou declines, and then launch an attack."
