Chapter 390: Great Expectations (6)

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "What I said is very heartfelt. I'm afraid that when you arrive at the place, you want to make a contribution and leave your name in history. If you can stick to that idea, that's great. However, Yu Dayou, the general soldier of Guangdong, is a well-known stubborn person, you work with him, and let him have a few points. Don't learn from Liu Kanzhi's kind of person, which ruins the harmony of civil and military affairs. ”

The Ming Dynasty has always implemented the policy of using civilian forces to control military force, and when fighting against the enemy, a group of military generals are led by civilian officials, and the highest decision-making power is all in the hands of civilian officials.

It's not that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty must not be able to fight, in fact, there are many civil and military ministers in the Ming Dynasty. For example, that Wang Shouren, who was knighted for his military merits, earned a new title for his descendants, and in terms of his ability to command battles, he is indeed better than Wu Jiang.

The generals may not be very good at fighting, and because of their own cultural limitations, their command ability is not high. He can command his own troops, but he is not able to fight a large-scale battle. However, in wartime, wars commanded by civilian officials often have more defeats than victories, and even if they win, they will win very hard. Hearty victories like Wang Yangming's are rare.

The reason for this is that although some military leaders are familiar with military books, they have no actual experience in leading soldiers. It can only be regarded as a piece of paper talk, and the actual command is not rigid, and it is not possible to make a correct response according to the actual situation.

The second is that he is not familiar with the troops under his command, and one-sidedly considers all the troops as the same situation. They do not investigate whether the troops are in arrears, whether the military rations are sufficient, and how big the difference is between the actual number and the number of soldiers. Not to mention the combat style of this unit. How is it related to other troops.

It is important to know that in this era, the mountain thinking within the Ming army has been relatively strict. In another time and space, the battle of Wanli to aid the dynasty. Because of the bounty of three hundred taels of silver, the Zhejiang soldiers had a dispute with Li Rusongsheng, the leader of the northern soldiers. Later, he was booby-trapped and killed by Wang Bao, the chief soldier of the Northern Army, in Jizhen. Countless outstanding soldiers who fought against the elite of the Japanese army on the battlefield did not die in the hands of the Japanese army, but died under the knife of their own people.

And the other team, Ma Dong Yiyuan, because of the mountains under his subordinates, he couldn't even control the troops. The guide zhì was inexplicably defeated in Sacheon, and he was defeated for thousands of miles.

As the supreme commander, many civil servants ignored this basic reality and deployed their troops at will. It even allowed two units that had deep contradictions in history to fight together, and let troops that were good at field warfare go on defense. Let the troops who are good at defense go on the offensive, and it would be strange if there were no problems.

Third, it is the heart of meritorious service. Whenever there is an opportunity to lead troops into battle, civilian officials always like to participate in the praise of military aircraft, and in order to show their own correctness, they must veto everyone's opinions, and only use the strategies proposed by themselves and their own staff. This kind of thing has even risen from a simple question of right and wrong to a matter of decency. So much so that the military generals became more and more afraid to speak in the military discussion, for fear of falling into a crime of colliding with the official.

But the strategies formulated by these ministers are high and low. There are advantages and disadvantages, and they may not be able to adapt measures to local conditions, and forcibly pushing forward is often a good game of chess into a bad game. Yu Dayou has always been a Geng Jie's temper. If Li Yanqing wants to be in the limelight, he must show his talent and take the lead in military discussions. will inevitably clash with Yu Dayou, and this battle will be lost eighty percent without fighting.

But since he said that he does not seek merit, he only seeks no fault. Put yourself in the right position, and only feel at ease to be a logistics and backing professional. The relationship between the two will be easy to get along, and Zhang Juzheng's heart will be more than half.

He also instructed: "If this Buddha comes, most of you will still have to decide the victory in a naval battle." Foyi's ship is good, your ship is more, and when the time comes, it will still be a situation where more ships win fewer ships. However, you have to instruct Hu Jingshui, as well as Yiren Bujialao, the three shifts will not stop working, and you must try to build ships and make more guns. As long as there are enough guns, waiting for work, and not being greedy for military exploits, this battle will definitely be won. ”

"I listened to the orders of Old Taishan. Relying on the blessing of the old man, the son-in-law will definitely win and come back with a big victory. When the time comes, look at the beard, and how should I arrange my official position. ”

"How does he arrange it? When the time comes, the old man will arrange for you to enter the political yamen, and I will see who dares to say a word. Zhang Juzheng is confident: "As long as you have real achievements, no one will want to press your official position." I gave Xiangshan to Bai Siwen this time, just considering that this person has no roots, and he is easier to control, it is most suitable to work with you. Although this man does not speak of loyalty, he knows the times well and will not pull you back. In addition, those women of the Heavenly Maiden Gate can also be used, don't they have a lot of chess pieces in Nanyang, and they all let them move. Don't be afraid of sacrifice, it's not our people who sacrifice, just let them wield. ”

Now that the purple orchid is backing against the water, the fall of the Heavenly Maiden Gate is a matter of time. Those overseas chess pieces are closed to news, and they should not be able to grasp the news of the chaos in Tiannumen for a while. In their cognition, Ziyoulan is still their leader.

The people who can be sent overseas to carry out missions are all people who have been in Ziyou Lanxin, and there is no need to doubt their obedience, and if they are moved, they can help Li Yanqing's intelligence collection work.

Zhang Jingxiu said: "My brother-in-law has just been married for a few days, and he is about to take office, so he will inevitably catch some up, right?" ”

"Who said he should go and take office now? We took this one, but we didn't say we'd leave now. The old man's son-in-law, is he just going to be a soldier with his bare hands? That's too embarrassing, those who should be prepared, how to prepare, how to prepare, should be transferred, let them move first. ”

Li Yanqing said: "With Qi Shuai's two battalions of Zhejiang soldiers entering Guangdong, the son-in-law will have the bottom in his heart." ”

"Two battalions? No, not two battalions. It's three and a half battalions, didn't you say that the East India Company can receive about two battalions of Zhejiang soldiers, I'll send one and a half battalions over first, and set up the shelves first, such a huge team, money and food expenditure is a problem, and you can't let the East India Company come out, and the old man will plan for you. ”

Three and a half battalions of Zhejiang soldiers are more than 10,000 troops, plus two battalions of Min Yong, nearly 20,000 soldiers. Counting the naval division, auxiliary soldiers, and masters, what Li Yanqing has in hand is a huge combat unit with a total of nearly 50,000 people. This was also the first time in his life that he had commanded such a large-scale operation, and it was inevitable that he would not be able to do so.

Zhang Juzheng saw his hidden worries and said with relief: "It's okay. The relationship between Zhejiang soldiers and Fujian soldiers has always been good, Yu Dayou has a bad temper, but his ability is real. With him here, you don't have to worry about war. The only thing to worry about is money, food, and medicine. Although the court is nervous at the moment, the old man can also think of a way for you. Besides, the old man wants to recommend two weapons for you to use to deal with the Francophiles. ”

"I wonder what kind of device you're talking about?"

"Nine-headed bird, thousand thunder cannons." (To be continued!)
