Chapter 606: Counterinsurgency Strategy

Ding Shun's last sentence seemed to be torturing Qin Kan's heart.

Qin Kan was the first person in this world to say that Wang Shouren was a saint, and perhaps even Wang Shouren didn't believe that he was a saint.

The literati of this era of the Ming Dynasty are still very cheeky, even if they deserve their name, they always have to be modest, unlike a certain emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the poems made by others add a sentence or change a word, and this poem becomes their own, who dares to crown this poem under their own name, it is a great crime to rob the family and exterminate the clan, so he became the emperor with the highest output of poetry in the world in this ingenious way, of course, the quality of the poems is also the worst, and when you are old, you should always have a face, and people are going to bring the cheeky skin into the coffin, and they call themselves what"Ten perfect old man".

Wang Shouren's title of saint is not a self-styled Taoist name behind closed doors, but the conclusion of countless descendants of Xinxue and descendants over the past hundreds of years.

Sages are not necessarily popular everywhere, Confucius is holy enough, right? When they were alive, they traveled to various vassal states, seeking opportunities to preach and teach, but they were rushed around like stray dogs by the princes.

Wang Shouren is also a saint, but his style as a saint is very unique, he is not merciless when he should kill, and he has no worries when he should make a bad move, thousands of bandits outside Jiujiang City rushed to surrender to him, but he killed the bandit leader with a knife in his hand, which shows that this saint is not necessarily a good person, the saint is the same as the saint, not only punishing the heart, but also killing.

Even people dare to kill, let alone brag.

However, Qin Kan was still surprised by Wang Shouren's actions. It's understandable to brag about the cowhide, but to blow the cowhide so fresh and refined, and seriously out of reality, in addition to the innate courage, you also need a cheeky skin that Devil May Cry is terrifying.

Of course, such a pleasant thing to brag about is by no means the first precedent set by Wang Shouren, as early as the Yongle period, the Yongle Emperor ordered Zhu Neng to be a general and conquer Annam in the south. At that time, the combined armies of both sides were less than 300,000 men. As a result, the Ming army was claimed to be 800,000 to the outside world, and Annan was even more outrageous, claiming to be 7 million, which can be described as the largest war in history. The two sides fought against each other. will be against each other head-on. I don't know if the main generals on both sides blushed, but the historian must have panicked when he put pen to paper.

Not to mention the bragging, what Ding Shun said about Jiujiang Mansion is difficult to hold on to, but it is an urgent matter.

Qin Kan was still soaking in the bathtub. Twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, then got up, dried his body, changed into clean clothes, and went out of the tent to Zhu Houzhao's handsome tent.

Zhu Houzhao was the only one in the tent, and the march for days was obviously not easy for him, a delicate and noble emperor, and he fell asleep after the army set up camp.

After hearing the advice of the guards, Qin Kan patiently waited outside the tent for half an hour, and it was not until night fell that Zhu Houzhao woke up.

The guards invited Qin Kan to enter the account, and Qin Kan went in and found that Zhu Houzhao was eating heavily.

A big bowl of brown rice, plus a bowl of broth with a few traces of oil and minced meat, is all Zhu Houzhao's dinner.

From the day he left Beijing to go on the expedition, Zhu Houzhao's food has always been this standard, he said that he will eat whatever the soldiers eat, as long as he has a small piece of meat in his bowl than ordinary soldiers, the military spirit will be lost.

A commander who has lost the morale of the army and the support of his soldiers will never be able to win a battle.

The emperor has reached such a point, and the generals and nobles below naturally dare not exceed the rules, and honestly follow the brown rice, drinking the so-called broth that is not much stronger than shabu-shabu water, including Qin Kan.

Seeing Qin Kan enter the handsome tent, Zhu Houzhao, who was immersed in digging rice in his mouth, raised his hand at him casually, motioned for him to sit down, and then instructed the guards to also serve Qin Kan a brown rice and broth.

To be honest, all these years of brocade clothes and jade food have messed with Qin Kan's mouth, and it is really difficult to swallow this thing in front of him, but it still has to be done as it should be, Qin Kan sighed with a wry smile, but did not move his chopsticks.

Zhu Houzhao was almost shaved in a bowl of rice, and looked up at him curiously: "Why don't you eat it?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is not hungry, the minister plans to eat with His Majesty later......"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and burped: "Eat with me, but you have to wait until the next meal, don't you see that I have just eaten full?" ”

Qin Kan also smiled: "Your Majesty, you will definitely eat another bowl of ......"

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, the main general and the soldiers share weal and woe, eat and live together, this is a necessary means for the commander of an army to win the hearts of his army, but if you want to win the hearts of the army, some things must be done in the open, such as eating and living together, you must make a big fanfare, do it brightly, it is best to let all the soldiers see what Your Majesty eats, whether it is really no different from them, if so, the soldiers are moved, they will serve His Majesty to death......"

Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment, and said heavily: "What the soldiers eat, I also eat, there is no difference, haven't you seen it these days?" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers have seen it, have the soldiers seen it? You hide in the handsome tent to eat every day, to say a villain's words, who knows if your majesty is eating brown rice or enjoying a luxurious feast in the big tent? ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened, his face was blue and white, his eyes stared at Qin Kan, for a long time, Zhu Houzhao sighed gloomily, and his voice was full of bitterness and grief and indignation.

"Someone,...... Then bring me a bowl of brown rice and broth, and bring it to the tent of the soldiers outside, and I will eat with the soldiers. ”

Stamped his feet hatefully, Zhu Houzhao glared at Qin Kan: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"I think Your Majesty likes the feeling of being full and supporting......"

Zhu Houzhao stared at Qin Kan for a long time, and then sighed suddenly: "Qin Kan, will you die if you do a few things in your life that lack morality?" ”

Qin Kan smiled: "Of course he won't die, but the minister must be unhappy." ”

*****************************************************************

His Majesty the Emperor personally went to the soldiers' tent, holding a big bowl and eating and drinking with the soldiers, a bowl of brown rice was eaten fragrantly, chatting with the soldiers in the camp while eating, the soldiers in the camp were sincerely afraid and grateful, and the honor of being able to eat with the emperor made the soldiers so excited that they had nowhere to put their hands and feet, both restrained and grateful, everyone was uncomfortable with a meal, but they were excited to eat, grateful to Dade.

The purpose of this meal was achieved, so Zhu Houzhao held his round belly, piled up a warm smile, his cheeks kept twitching, and his steps staggered back to the handsome tent slightly.

After entering the handsome tent, Zhu Houzhao fell on the soft couch very unvividly, and sighed heavily: "I only think that today I will eat all the food that I can eat for a lifetime, and the commander of the army is really not good, I admire those famous generals more and more......"

Qin Kan looked at Zhu Houzhao with reverence on his face: "Your Majesty is a real person, the minister never expected that His Majesty would really come to such a point, if the minister is the main general, the minister will only go around with a rice bowl, this camp will chat with the soldiers, pick up two mouthfuls of rice in front of everyone, and then change to another camp tent, continue to pick up two bites, everyone wants to see what the boss eats, in fact, they don't care if the boss will eat it clean......

Zhu Houzhao sat up suddenly, staring at Qin Kan like a fool, and wanted to cry with grief and indignation: "You...... Why didn't you say it earlier! ”

Qin Kan blinked innocently: "The minister still thought just now, thinking that His Majesty likes the feeling of being full of food and support......"

Zhu Houzhao's lips squirmed a few times, Qin Kan estimated that he wanted to scold his mother, but his tutor was too good since he was a child, so he didn't know how to scold.

After a period of silence, Zhu Houzhao let out a long sigh: "Qin Kan, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you just don't say anything, let me die stupidly." Are you okay? I want to calm down......"

"There's something going on."

"Speak quickly, stand down when you're done, and let me calm down."

Qin Kan straightened up and said: "Presumably, His Majesty also got the secret report of Jinyi Wei, Wang Shouren led 10,000 remnants to defend Jiujiang, but after all, he was outnumbered, and the loss ......of Jiujiang was in front of him."

Zhu Houzhao sighed: "I also bear the heart of this matter, no matter what, Wang Shouren only relied on 10,000 remnants to defend Jiujiang City for half a month, and blocked Zhu Chenhao's 100,000 army, even if Jiujiang was lost, Wang Shouren also had no fault, not only did I not blame him, but also rewarded him heavily." ”

Qin Kan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister just wants to advise His Majesty today, Jiujiang City is broken, it is better to make Wang Shouren take the initiative to abandon the city, my court has arrived in Anqing, Anqing is only a few hundred miles away from Jiujiang, the army is coming day and night, Your Majesty is the commander of the army, you should look at the overall situation, you don't have to force a domain, let alone care about the gains and losses of a city and a place......"

Zhu Houzhao's expression was solemn: "What do you mean?" ”

Qin Kan turned around and walked a few steps to a huge marching map in the tent, and drew a large circle back and forth between "Anqing Mansion" and "Nanchang Mansion" on the map.

"Your Majesty, the main battlefield for the annihilation of the rebels is not Jiujiang, but Anqing or Nanchang, these two places are the key battlefields for Wang Shi to suppress the rebellion!"

Zhu Houzhao hesitated for a long time, puzzled: "The main battlefield is Anqing, why is Nanchang also among them?" Nanchang is Zhu Chenhao's old nest, but Zhu Chenhao's rebels have all been drawn to Jiujiang, the so-called bow has not turned back, how can he return to guard Nanchang? ”

Qin Kan said with a smile: "The minister thinks that the battle of Anqing is the first battle between Wang Shi and Zhu Chenhao, but Anqing is located at the junction of Nanzhili and Jiangxi, and there are many mountains, forests and rivers in the geography, which is neither easy to defend nor easy to attack, so it is unlikely that this battle will completely annihilate the rebel army, and the rebel army will return to ......Nanchang after the defeat."

Qin Kan's voice suddenly became very soft: "The anti-army is not guarding Nanchang City, don't forget your majesty, there is a Poyang Lake next to Nanchang, and the naval army under Zhu Chenhao is not weak, the minister can assert that the final battle is not on the ground, but on the water." ”
