Qi Jiguang's new book on the history of the army and the military training record both guide how to fight, and this kind of detailed combat rules are obviously more practical to the general than Sun Tzu's art of war in the strategy theory.

The book of war, which was published in the Song Dynasty, collected 100 real combat examples for analysis, and it was more theoretical than the new book on military training and the new book on military performance, which was more tactical, and was between the strategic Art of War and the tactical new book on military performance, which was more suitable for senior generals to study.

Zhao Kang also felt that he didn't need to read Ji Xiao's new book, and where it was written that training soldiers and fighting was similar to what they did, but he couldn't read the famous Sun Tzu's Art of War, which made him a little regretful.

"Whoever fighteth with chariots and chariots shall fight according to hills, and by obstacles, and by woods, and shall prevail...... All cavalry and infantry fighters, if they encounter mountains and forests, dangerous obstacles, and plain lands, and rush away, they will be defeated, and they will not have to fight. ”

After Zhao Kang read the chapter on infantry and cavalry warfare, he asked puzzledly: "If the cavalry and the cavalry are opposed, or the infantry and the infantry are opposed, how should they fight?" ”

Li Yuanyin shook his head: "The book doesn't say it." ”

"My lord, the Nanjing Secret Order!"

While the two were discussing, the guards came in to report.

After reading the superstition sent by the messenger, Zhao Kang turned it on to Li Yuanyin, and he himself remembered it, thinking about opening the military book.

"Where an enemy has a plan, I will attack him, and he will be weakened and brought to his knees. Fa said: Go to the army. ”

This is a strategy chapter, but after reading it, I don't know how to use it.

At this time, the Qing army and the Ming army, separated by a kind of dog-tooth staggered situation in the canal new city, Linqing was in the hands of Zhao Kang, but Dezhou was still in the hands of the Qing army, Zhao Kang sent troops to Beizhili from time to time to infiltrate activities, and the Qing army would often harass it.

Although there was no major battle between the two sides, small groups of troops came into contact almost every day.

In this case, it was not Zhao Kang who took the initiative to make trouble at the beginning, and the other party did not provoke, the fuse was the coats who fled from Beizhili to Shandong from time to time, and these coatings sometimes had one or two. conAd1(); Sometimes three or five.

At first, Zhao Kang didn't know the situation, and almost intercepted and killed these people, but they saw the Ming army kneeling, and then Zhao Kang knew. These people are miserable, some of them used to be tenants, and some were still landlords, but now the land is occupied by the Tartars, and they are encircled by the Tartars as slaves. If you don't become a slave, you won't have anything to eat, but if you become a slave, you have to work to the death, and if you don't do it well, you will be beaten hard, and if you can't stand it, you will run away.

The situation of Baoyi escaping is too common, in Liaodong, Baoyi under the Eight Banners often fled, some ran to North Korea, some ran to Mongolia, and even ran to the deep mountains and old forests, if it wasn't really unbearable. These honest Han people will never run, but the Manchus can't let Baoyi escape, who will farm for them, and besides, these people are all caught by them, so the loss is too great.

So the Manchu Qing Dynasty introduced a cruel law to capture and flee people, after entering the customs is even more harsh, Chongzhen fifteen or sixteen years, the Qing army plundered Shandong in the west, robbed more than 300,000 people, after entering the customs. Some of the people were also brought to Beijing, and when they were close at hand, they fled to Shandong in large numbers, and at this time the Qing army was captured. Those who can work for them, they are reluctant to kill, but they suffer those who take in the relatives and friends of the past. Or the uninformed people.

So for a period of time, no one dared to stay overnight when anyone fled to Shandong.

Now it's different, after the Yang army recovered Shandong, but the Qing army began to occupy the entire Beizhili, causing a hundred times more fugitive slaves than in the past, as a result, a small group of people crossed the blockade line every day, and the Qing army was in hot pursuit, and then the Yang army attacked to intercept the Qing army, so this small scale would break out every day.

Although there are casualties every day, they are not big, but they have trained the cavalry's tactical ability to deal with various sudden abilities and small infiltrations, so Zhao Kang is also willing to let his subordinates do this kind of infiltration, protect the people fleeing one by one, and at the same time keep fighting and exercising with the small units of the Qing army.

But this time it wasn't a small fight, and now Yang Chao suddenly made him make a big splash and make a fuss.

How can he make a fuss, but he won't, and like last time, he will raid Tianjin once and scare the Tartars?

But Zhao Kang felt that it was not easy to use, he had already used it once last time, and the space left by the Qing army in the retreat last time was too big, and now the Qing army was in full position, and all strongholds were guarded, and it was not so easy to assault the past. conAd2();

"I'm afraid I'll have to let Mr. Wang and Mr. Li cooperate."

Li Yuanyin thought.

"How to cooperate?"

Zhao Kang asked.

Li Yuanyin said: "Our army set up the banner of the Northern Expedition in Linqing, and then let General Wang and General Li send troops to Linqing, so that the Tartars must think that we are going to the Northern Expedition." ”

Zhao Kang said: "What if the Tartars don't find out? ”

Li Yuanyin smiled: "How could you not find out." With so many people escaping, it is difficult to ensure that there are no Tartar spies among them. And the Tartars have been in Shandong for so long, how can they not leave a dark pile. Besides, the Metropolitan Governor must still have a backhand, so we just need to make trouble, it's a big deal to really send 10,000 troops to cross the river. ”

Li Yuanyin is the best at bluffing, and when he was a peasant army, he often played this kind of trick.

Zhao Kang felt that it made sense, especially if it didn't work, he would use 10,000 people to attack once, and he would always be able to destroy a few Zhuangzi Tartars, and he would not return empty-handed.

Beijing!

"Have you heard, then Yang Manzi is going to the Northern Expedition again!"

"I heard about it, and said that Hong Chengchou had defected."

"That old dog should have died a long time ago, and I treated him with great kindness, but he did this kind of thing."

"I heard that the old dog sold Jiangxi to Yang Manzi, so Yang Manzi came to fight Beijing."

In Beijing, the two Eight Banners disciples met together and questioned each other. conAd3();

This kind of thing is happening in almost every corner, and an undercurrent is flowing in Beijing.

Even the court was in a state of panic.

"Then why did Hong Chengchou give up Jiangxi?"

"Why did Hong Chengchou gather his troops in Jiujiang?"

"Why didn't Yang Manzi fight Hong Chengchou?"

"Why didn't Hong Chengchou fight Yang Manzi?"

One by one, the inquiries were placed on Dolgon's desk, and some of the magnates of the Eight Banners questioned Hong Chengchou, and some of them directly said that Hong Chengchou had rebelled and asked Dolgon to send troops to capture him back and kill him.

Dolgon also had a headache, he didn't expect that this Yang Chao had just returned from Shandong, and he would make trouble again, and he wouldn't give him any time.

Dolgon had already requisitioned 100,000 Han people from Liaodong, carried them into the Han banner, and under the leadership of various Manchu Eight Banner officers, he suppressed the resistance of large landlords in Shanxi and trained at the same time, waiting for 100,000 people to form a fighting force. It will take a while, but Yang Chao called again.

"Let Prince Zheng have to defend to the death!"

"Tell Hong Chengchou that he is right to hold Jiujiang steadily, but let him find some way to drag Yang Chao in Jiangnan!"

On the one hand, Dolgon could only rely on Prince Zheng Zierharang to block the Shandong Ming army south of the canal. On the one hand, although it is a relief, it is actually a strict order to Hong Chengchou that he must find a way to share the pressure on Beijing, otherwise he should be clear about the consequences.

Dolgon couldn't figure it out, how to see Yang Chao's territory surrounded by Qing troops. But why does he always feel so passive?

Nanking.

"Haha, the Qing court is really suspicious, Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou, let you be scheming, but you are a Han after all, you are just a foreign race in the eyes of the Manchus, and you are a minion, no one trusts you!"

"In the future, if you Hong Pifu make trouble in the south, I will go to Beijing to make trouble and see how long you can last!"

Yang Chao is discovering more and more. Relying on the obvious advantages of internal line operations, on the surface, it seems that he is surrounded by the Qing army, the north is the Eight Banners, Jiangxi is the Han army, and Fujian is the green battalion, but his own territory is closely connected, and there are canals in the middle, but it is more flexible than the Qing army that surrounds him.

The so-called encirclement and counter-encirclement are both relative, and military issues must be viewed dialectically. The key depends on who takes the initiative, and in the same situation, one side can be said to be attacking from both sides, and the other side can be said to be dividing the enemy army. Now the Qing army is under-armed. Instead, he forcibly surrounded Yang Chao, so he showed passivity everywhere.

But this encirclement still has to be broken, after all, multi-faceted warfare is always unfavorable, the historical Frederick the Great relied on the Prussian inner line to fight, actively mobilized troops, and successively defeated Austria, France and Tsarist Russia. It is a miracle in military history, but in fact, it is just a last resort.

So if there is, Yang Chao still wants to break the flood Chengchou, but it is too big to be cost-effective.

"It's just that if you let Xie Fei and Lu Mo deal with Hong Chengchou, an old fox, I'm afraid you'll suffer."

Yang Chao was a little worried about his subordinates, speaking of which, these people are also considered to have rich combat experience, but they are only combat experience, and their tactical literacy is enough, but as commanders at the general army level, it is not enough, their overall command ability is not even up to the campaign level, and Hong Chengchou is obviously a strategic-level opponent.

This is also a disadvantage of Yang Chao, after all, it is too late to start the army, including himself, he has no experience in leading troops for more than ten years, but he has to command tens of thousands of troops one by one, and it is indeed to catch ducks on the shelves.

On the other hand, in the Qing army, old guys who have fought for ten or even twenty years abound, and there are also Hong Chengchou, who not only has rich experience in battle formations, but is also familiar with military books, and knows the war experience in history.

"So Hong Chengchou's opponent can only be me."

Yang Chao couldn't help but sigh, these subordinates are used to fighting under Yang Chao, and the time to lead the troops alone is too far, and Yang Chao used to lead the whole army, and the accumulated experience is still not as good as Hong Chengchou, not to mention these subordinates.

"After this war, the military structure must be reorganized, but there are a few suitable candidates."

Yang Chao secretly said in his heart that he planned to use the wisdom of the organization to make up for the lack of personal experience.

In the next month, although the Qing court in Beijing was very loud, Hong Chengchou just stayed in Jiujiang and did not move.

Yang Chao's bluff strategy seems to have failed.

"Then it's a real fight! Ordered Zhao Kang and other troops to send 50,000 troops to attack Beizhili (Hebei), destroy the manors of the Eight Banners nobles along the way, and release the clothed serfs! I want to see if Hong Chengchou can sit still after moving the property of these banner people! ”

Yang Chao saw that Hong Chengchou was not mobilized, and immediately issued a new order.

"Let Wang Pu send 100,000 Beijing fugitive slaves back, these people are good soldiers!" (To be continued.) )
