301. Rigoletto polemics
All the generals are against the Snow Shame Army's battle, because this is the last time they have won the battle merits, who wants to give it to others! Therefore, everyone hopes that their troops can fight, so that they can save face in the troops. Moreover, if Jingwen, a courtier, is allowed to steal the opportunity to fight, then who knows what the result will be? In their eyes, Jingwen was also a courtier, and it was impossible to win against the Turks. I have to say that the first impression of human beings is very stubborn, since they think that Jingwen is a courtier, then I am afraid that they have really always thought that they are a courtier.
"In that case, please introduce your troops and see what the advantages are." Li Shimin said.
As a result, the generals below began to brag one by one, boasting about the merits of their soldiers. And after everyone listened, they all nodded. However, because in fact, the combat methods that these twelve guards are good at are actually different. Moreover, the arms of the Twelve Guards are not the same, there are six types of troops in total, and this is the separate management in ancient times. Because if you make one branch of the guard too complete, it is easy to cause problems. And Jingwen's Snow Shame Army is an exception, and Emperor Li Shimin also sent a prison army for this purpose, which can be regarded as supervising Jingwen. An army of 40,000 people with all kinds of troops, if this emperor doesn't send someone to supervise it, then the emperor probably won't be able to sleep!
"Jingwen Jiedu envoy, how about you introduce your subordinate soldiers?" Zhang Shigui said in a weird way.
Everyone saw Jingwen again, and they didn't care much about the Snow Shame Army. Because the festival envoy of the Snow Shame Army is Jingwen, and Jingwen is a person from a courtier. I don't believe how capable he is of leading good soldiers. So, now they all look down on Jingwen. But the only one who can make a stern face is only Emperor Li Shimin. There is also Li Jing.
Because Li Shimin has Yan Lide's report, he knows Jingwen's Snow Shame Army, maybe eighty percent may be about the same! Because Jingwen followed the queue training method of later generations, the entire army was basically waving like an arm and finger, looking like an elite. Therefore, Li Shimin also thought that Jingwen's Snow Shame Army should still be okay, so he didn't laugh at it. And Li Jing is out of habit. They all care about the army of the Tang Dynasty, so that they can be accurately used on the battlefield.
"Jingwen, it's time for you to introduce your Snow Shame Army." Li Shimin said.
Jingwen took the initiative to come out. Immediately caused a shake of the head, everyone obviously didn't think that Jingwen, a courtier who had never been in contact with the military, could have much insight. And what kind of urine is Jingwen's guy, can they not know? Jingwen lived in Chang'an during this time, and rarely went to the Xue Shame Army to manage military affairs. So. Everyone thought he wouldn't be proficient in military affairs. So now Jingwen is coming to introduce, isn't this making him look foreign?
"Your Majesty, generals, let me introduce my Snow Shame Army. Because my subordinate Xuesha army was born from the Han people who returned from the Turks, they are very familiar with the Turkic terrain and climate. Moreover, they have lived in the Turks for a long time and are familiar with the Turkic cold. It's completely possible to fight in cold weather. Jingwen said.
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed a little. Because nothing else. Just one can fight in winter, which makes everyone's face change. This Northern Expedition to the Turks was already determined to be fought in winter. Other armies wanted to live in relatively warm places, and rarely went directly to the cold Turks. However, these armies under Jingwen have such an advantage, they are already familiar with the severe cold of the Turks, which has to be said to be a huge point. Although there can be down jackets to keep warm in the future, wearing warm clothes cannot guarantee absolute combat effectiveness. Therefore, everyone knows how much advantage a unit can have for this battle without reducing its combat effectiveness. Obviously, Jingwen grasped his advantage from the beginning, that is, the problem of being able to adapt to the climate, leaving others with nothing to say.
Actually, others don't know, and this is also a coincidence. Jingwen said the down jacket just now, which reminded Jingwen that his subordinate Snow Shame Army can adapt to the cold, which is already a very good bargaining chip. This is a killer feature, and if you can make good use of this killer feature, then this battle will not be a big problem. This operation was a rare winter operation since ancient times, and the first thing to consider was not combat effectiveness, but adaptation to the severe cold. If you can't even get used to the cold, then I'm afraid you don't want to say anything about being able to keep fighting.
"Okay, since Jingwen has said the merits of being able to defeat the Snow Shame Army, then who else wants to oppose the Snow Shame Army?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Shimin has confirmed that this time he must let the Snow Shame Army fight. Other armies could not adapt to the Turkic cold, so I am afraid that they would have to be on the second line. The Turks were farther north than the Han Chinese, so the cold Cheng dรน was even greater. The average Central Plains soldiers couldn't even adapt to the cold of the Central Plains, let alone the Turks further north? Although these Snow Shame soldiers were captured as slaves, they were also fortunate in disguise to adapt to the cold of the north, so that their combat effectiveness would not be reduced too much when it was cold.
And Zhang Shigui's eyes rolled, and his stomach was full of bad water.
"Your Majesty, since the combat effectiveness of the Snow Shame Army is beyond doubt. However, the minister thought that good soldiers still needed good generals to lead. If the generals are incompetent, then I am afraid that it will affect the subordinate army. Therefore, the minister thought that the Snow Shame Army still had to change to another general and let other generals lead it. Jingwen was just an outsider in the Ministry of Rites before, and now he is still attached to the Ministry of Rites. Therefore, the minister thought that Jingwen had never been in contact with the real battlefield and was not suitable to participate in this kind of battle. Of course, the Snow Shame Army can adapt to the severe cold, and it was also built with Jingwen's help. Jingwen's merits are also obvious to all, so let him be a candidate for overhelp and prepare for the new generals. Zhang Shigui said.
There were 10 million grass and mud horses passing by in Jingwen's heart, and Zhang Shigui's meaning was very obvious. Since there is no way to stop the Snow Shame Army from going to war, it is necessary to fight for the replacement of the generals of the Snow Shame Army. Anyway, if you change Jingwen and change it to another general to command, wouldn't you let your own people take the lead? Since they can't stop the soldiers from going into battle, it's better to stop the generals from going into battle. And this Zhang Shigui and Jingwen have a grudge, so he seized on Jingwen's shortcomings that he was not very proficient in combat, and instead attacked him. As for letting Jingwen assist the new general in management, Jingwen had a feeling that he had been sold and helped to count the money. (To be continued......)
