"One defense and one fight..."Zhou Shuyuan directly said these four words.

And under Wei Zheng's gaze, he opened his mouth to explain in as much detail as possible...

"The tens of thousands of Mongol troops attacking Zuoyun were the army personally commanded by Dolgon the Tartar. But, after all, it was tens of thousands of cavalry. And although our cavalry unit has expanded to 15,000 people, these cavalrymen have just undergone three months of training, and they can't even ride war horses, let alone participate in battles..."

"In this case, even if we want to deal a fatal blow to Dorgon in Zuoyun, we can't help tens of thousands of cavalry."

"So, we can only defend against ... Immediately send reinforcements to assist the Zuoyun garrison to block the attack of the Mongol cavalry....not only that, but it is better to send an artillery unit to let the Mongols hit their heads under Zuoyun City and break their blood. ”

"I'm sure that the current Dolgon must hope that we can send troops to Zuoyun and fight a field battle with the tens of thousands of cavalry under his command in Zuoyun, in order to avenge the 'one-arrow revenge' half a year ago."

Speaking of this, Zhou Shuyuan's words suddenly changed, and he continued: "As for the tens of thousands of traitors in the direction of Baode County, it is much easier to deal with....although they have also formed thousands of cavalry, but those cavalry can only be regarded as infantry on war horses at most....For such a group of cavalry, our musketeers can easily defeat them..."

"Therefore, Xia Guan's idea is that the rebels in the direction of Baode County should be mainly attacked, not only to fight, but also to fight fiercely....It is best to fight through guò and completely annihilate the tens of thousands of rebels who have invaded the territory of Baode County and enter Shaanxi..."

"Your Excellency, you are the Governor of Shanxi. Although the bandits in Shanxi have been eliminated. But. Nuoda's Shanxi is still in the hands of traitors. As the Governor of Shanxi, you have the obligation and the right to recover Shaanxi from the rebels..."

"Although the land in Shaanxi is barren, tens of millions of acres of tuntian land can still be cultivated. Not only that, there are millions of people in Shaanxi. If we can take these people and land for our own use, it can bring us at least tens of millions of taels of silver in taxes every year....so, for us. Shaanxi is still a treasure land..."

"In addition, Xiaguan has another reason why we must do our best to take Shaanxi and eliminate the traitors in Shaanxi..."

"If we defeat the Shaanxi traitors, but we don't destroy them... Unwilling to be defeated, Dolgon will definitely conspire with the Shaanxi traitors again, flank the front and back, and launch an attack on our Shanxi together, wantonly burning, killing and looting in Shanxi, affecting the continuous development and growth of our Tiger and Leopard Army. ”

"Well said...."Hearing this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but be shocked by Zhou Shuyuan's vicious eyes.

After some emotion. Said in a firm tone: "That's it....one prevention and one fight...."

After finishing speaking, Wei Zheng was in his heart. A specific battle plan for sending troops to two places has emerged...

After thinking about it for a while, he ordered in a firm tone: "Strategist, this commander has decided, just do what you say..."

"Dealing with the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in the direction of Zuoyun, we focus on defense....Dealing with the tens of thousands of Shanxi rebels in the direction of Baode County, we focus on fighting. Not only do we want to fight, but we also want to take advantage of this opportunity to cross the Yellow River in one fell swoop, and from the hands of traitors, take back the control of the entire Shaanxi step by step, so that Ben Shuai, the governor of Shanxi, will become worthy of his name..."

"In the direction of Zuoyun, there are walls for defense, as long as there are enough reinforcements of musketeers and artillery, plus plenty of ammunition. Stay for a few months, and there will be absolutely no problems. “

"In the direction of Baode County, because there is to be a field battle, and it is also necessary to cross the Yellow River and send troops to Shaanxi. Therefore, the focus of this battle must be placed in the direction of Baode County. “

"General Ben Marshal ordered: General Wang Fengwang, commander of 5,000 musketeers and 1,000 artillerymen, immediately reinforce Zuo Yun...... Five thousand musketeers, with the help of war horses, quickly reinforced Zuoyun....Previously artillery followed, but it was necessary to send enough musketeers to protect along the way... No one dares to guarantee whether there will be Mongolian cavalry infiltrating our Shanxi and staring at our artillery. “

"The cavalry Zhao Yun's department has 5,000 elite cavalry, the tun army Zhou Yuhong's department has 10,000 elite soldiers, Wang Feng's department has 5,000 musketeers, and all the artillery is under the personal command of the marshal to reinforce the ....... of Baode County."

"This time, I want to let the Shaanxi traitors know that the Haw Par Army is not so easy to bully、、、、"

"Since they dare to come to the tiger's mouth to extract teeth, then we will make them pay the price of blood......"

"Yes, big handsome...", the military advisor Zhou Shuyuan commanded loudly.

Just as Zhou Shuyuan was about to leave, Wei Zheng's words changed, and he suddenly reminded: "Wait a minute....The Shaanxi rebels and the Mongolian cavalry joined forces to attack us, such a big thing, it is impossible to hide it from the imperial court." Since the imperial court will know sooner or later, then we will make good use of this opportunity and reach out to the imperial court again......"

Speaking of this, a smile full of weirdness quickly appeared on Wei Zheng's face.

Under Zhou Shuyuan's expectant gaze, Wei Zheng spoke: "Silver, we are not short of silver; Food, in a few months, we will have too much food to use up... But the only thing we lack is people..."

According to Ben Shuai, although the scale of the equipment department has grown to tens of thousands. However, among these tens of thousands, there are very few real craftsmen..."

"With such a large armament department, what can be done now is to produce muskets, artillery, grenades step by step...... Half a year has passed, and in addition to the mortars requested by Ben Shuai, even the popularization of flowering shells and timing fuses have not yet been completed....To say a word from the heart, Ben Shuai is very disappointed in these craftsmen...."

Zhou Shuyuan hurriedly opened his mouth and persuaded: "Dashuai, it is already very good to be able to build a mortar....you also know that those craftsmen in our equipment department are all those craftsmen in the original military household, and it is very good to have this level...."

"As far as the officials know, the real excellent craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are all in the capital...."

Speaking of this, Zhou Shuyuan suddenly understood something, his eyes lit up, and he said: "I understand, Dashuai, you mean to ask for craftsmen from the imperial court..."

Wei Zheng did not hesitate, and affirmed loudly: "Yes, it is to ask the imperial court for craftsmen..."

"Of course, this craftsman we can't clearly ask....in the face of the front and rear attacks of the Mongol cavalry and the Shaanxi traitors, we can ask the imperial court to replenish us with guns and firearms...."

"However, with the current embarrassing situation of the imperial court not being able to make ends meet, do you have the money to build us firearms and supplement them?"

"The imperial court can't replenish our firearms, and the Mongolian cavalry and Shaanxi traitors have to fight, so in this case, the imperial court can only use craftsmen to replace firearms, let us build our own firearms........."
