"Zhang, you surprise us every time!" In the Chinese military tent of the Shenji Battalion, Resca looked at the stack of money tickets in front of her, her eyes widened, it was the money tickets of the Yurou family money bank with a total of 10,000 taels, and it was not Yurou who gave me, but Li Dan.

Li Dan left Dengzhou the day after meeting with us, his identity is not suitable for staying in the country for too long, before leaving, Li Dan sent Feng Er to deposit 500,000 taels into Yurou's money village, as the preliminary funds of the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce, and also sent someone to send the 10,000 taels to the Shenji Battalion, saying that it was to sponsor my military training, I don't know if he was expressing his gratitude or really wanting to sponsor, anyway, he was also a charcoal in the snow, and the procurement cost of the horse equipment needed by the cavalry regiment was also considered to be complete.

The cavalry of the Guan Liao Iron Cavalry is also worthy of being the elite of the elite, although it is only half a month, but the cavalry regiment that was still loose and loose is now beginning to look like it, although it is pulled to the battlefield to fight, there is still a bit of a problem with dealing with the Mongols or the Eight Banners Cavalry later, but at least the momentum of the charge is there, and the things after that also need to be done slowly, cultivating an elite cavalry is not a matter of a month or two months, not to mention that it will take a year and a half to produce an effect, not to mention the elite of the elite like the Guan Liao Iron Cavalry, Although this is also a knockoff, who says that a knockoff has to be worse than the original?

So my current thing is not to urge the cavalry to quickly train to make a appearance, but to try my best to prepare the best horses and equipment for this cavalry unit, so now money is also a very important part, and this 10,000 taels also just solves the current problem, after all, now that the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce is about to open, it is inconvenient for me to trouble Yurou anymore.

Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce reservation is opened in May, Yu Rou's idea, is to set up the general association in Dengzhou, other places she sent people to establish branches, Yu Rou did not want to spread the stall too big at first, although she has enough funds, but she still decided to set up a branch in the area of Nanzhili, outside of Nanzhili, that is, Quanzhou, Jingdezhen and Guangzhou, Quanzhou is responsible for the sale of overseas trade goods, Jingdezhen is responsible for the purchase of locally produced porcelain, Guangzhou is responsible for overseas contacts, The other branch locations are being organized in an orderly manner, and before the preparation, all operations are temporarily handled by the local Ling family's money bank.

After talking to Li Dan last time, I realized how famous Yurou is in the business world of Daming, and after Yurou's idea of opening the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce was known by some businessmen in Dengzhou, these businessmen came to visit one after another and wanted to cooperate with Yurou. I accompanied Yurou to visit a few houses, and none of these businessmen were not respectful to Yurou. Because I really don't know anything about business, I then told Yuruo to accompany Yurou and return to the Shenji Camp to deal with things here.

"How's the situation in the Shenji Camp now?" These days, my mind has been on the business of Yu, Rou Yuruo, and the affairs of the Shenji Camp are handled by Reska.

"The situation of the artillery regiment is very good, and the cooperation between the musket regiment and the infantry regiment is still in continuous running-in!" I don't know what's going on, but Reska now uses Chinese as much as possible when talking to me, probably hoping that his Chinese can be better, because he talks to me too much, and Reska basically uses the modern Chinese I taught him.

"Our principle of concentrated use of artillery is right, with the support of artillery firepower, we can try to protect our musketeers to gain an advantage, which has an obvious overwhelming advantage in the last battle against the Japanese on the dark island, but I have to say that this is also taking advantage of the other side, they are not as numerous as us, and there is no systematic operation! In the previous exercises of our cavalry regiment and infantry regiment shock fire-gun regiment, it can be seen that the threat of organized cavalry to us is still very great! ”

Reska's words immediately struck the thread in my heart, a systematically organized cavalry! I smiled bitterly, it reminded me of Nurhachi's Eight Banners Cavalry, which was a powerful cavalry unit on par with Guan Liao's Iron Cavalry! According to Reska, even in the case of equal forces, such cavalry is likely to break through the firepower network of the musketeers and cause extremely serious damage to the musketeers, so if they encounter the Eight Banners cavalry, whose number far exceeds the size of the entire Shenji battalion, the musket troops will only be wiped out.

Reska seemed to see the disappointed expression on my face, and his expression became strange, and he continued: "Zhang, the great general of your country, Sun Wu, once said, 'Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. The strength of the forces in the war is always changing, and the result of the cavalry attacking the infantry by which I speak is in the open field, but if it is in a narrow place where it is not easy to give full play to the superiority of the cavalry, any large-scale cavalry charge is a death charge in front of the tactics of our artillery and musket-gun columns! ”

Reska's words immediately intrigued me, I looked at him and said with a smile, "Have you also read Sun Wu's writings?" ”

Reska nodded, with a look of adoration: "He is the greatest strategist I have ever seen, no strategist in Europe can reach his height, he has developed war into an art, and has very clear speculations about the nature of war, the process of war and the direction of war, I dare not imagine that such a person is actually a person who lived two thousand years ago." He is alive to this day, and he is also the unparalleled commander of this era. Especially when you know more about the battles, the more you think he's an amazing genius! ”

Sun Wu! I immediately laughed, the book "The Art of War" once again proved to us how terrifying the wisdom of the ancient Chinese was, I have to admit that the knowledge of later generations is beyond the reach of the ancients in some aspects, but I also have to admit that some of the ancients are indeed geniuses beyond the times, but more often in the face of these geniuses we lack a humble heart.

Fighting a war still depends on the brain, blindly fighting to the death, and the end is that the juniper in Sarhu, in the face of Nurhachi, buried all the elite of his 60,000 Ming army there, so if you want to win the war, not only rely on new weapons and equipment, but also rely on the command of excellent commanders, not to mention that the current weapons are still mainly cold weapons, although the power of firearms is strong, but it is far from being able to completely suppress it.

It seems that I still have to study and study the art of war! The province really wants me to command the entire Shenji Battalion one day, and I'm still in a hurry.

"Zhang, if we want to be invincible, we must put ourselves in an invincible position in advance! This is also what Sun Wu said! Reska looked at me suddenly, and the expression on her face was very solemn.

"Zhang, I don't know what's going on with you? However, I know that in the back of your heart, there has always been a very powerful enemy! And your goal is to defeat this group of enemies! ”

Reska's eyes were still very sharp, I smiled and shook my head, denying his point of view, I still said the same thing, try not to get involved in that big fight, because it was a war of death. And the life and death of this empire, for me as a modern person, I don't have such a strong feeling, that's why although I hate the Qing Dynasty extremely, but after coming here, I didn't reveal to Yu Rou Yuruo or Li Guangzhong half a word about the upcoming Battle of Sarhu, let alone write to the imperial court to put them on guard or change the commander when conquering Nurhachi, because I know that the fall of the Ming Empire and the rise of the Qing Dynasty are just things that history has long been doomed. Without this Salhu, there may be the next Salhu.

I can't deny history, because to deny history is to deny myself.

"Lake, I'm tired!" I let out a long sigh and smiled at Reska, who looked puzzled.

Reska nodded, this is the second time, looking at my tangled expression, Reska also looked very entangled, he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word, just shook his head slightly, and then turned around and went out the door.

I suddenly remembered the sounds that had been echoing in my ears since I fell into the Wish Hole. History, what does it mean for me to do?
