There are clouds in the "Yin Fu Sutra": the blind are good at hearing, the deaf are good at seeing, and there is a source of absolute profit, and the teacher is ten times greater.

It's about dedication.

Zhu firmly believes that the IQ gap between people is extremely small, and the ultimate achievement depends only on two things: the right method and persistent focus.

The working methods used by the top and bottom of the East Palace are now forcibly instilled by Zhu Cihong. Those who think they don't need it, or can't accept this way of working, are quickly eliminated. In transactional work, a disobedient genius is definitely not as good as an obedient idiot.

In Zhu Cihong's previous life, he heard many people question that national education can only teach mediocre talents, and he can only take a hehe for this. These people have no idea that what the country needs is obedient and mediocre people who follow the rules. In earlier times, propaganda was full of metaphors of "screws" and "bricks", which have made it clear that ideology and IQ are not important at all, but what matters is uniform standards and specifications.

After sifting out the "screws" and "bricks" that are suitable, all that is needed is focus.

There are many smart people in the Ming Dynasty, but they fail because they are not focused. After entering the office, I want to be honest and upright, but I can't resist the temptation of sharing profits and filial piety; I want to do something practical, but I am deeply trapped in the network of human feelings; I want to make some achievements, but I am afraid of losing my career.

In this way, in the end, I didn't do my job well. Especially in the era of party strife, everyone runs to quarrel and saliva, and the work is completely thrown away, how can the country still function?

There is a little advantage in the East Palace, communication between departments is encouraged, but it will be beaten hard to point fingers at others beyond their own work. For example, if the armies get the unqualified battalion artillery, they can only refuse to accept it, and they must not instruct the cannon foundry on how to cast the cannons, let alone find out whether there are people in the cannon foundry who cut corners and embezzle public funds—that is the work of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Many former generals and officials have been freed from the complicated and sinister officialdom environment and only focused on their own examination projects. With one mind to complete the task, the efficiency will naturally increase several times.

After receiving information from Song Hongye one after another, Zhu Cihong also knew Dorgon's bottom line. Since he has demarcated the line of heaven and protection, it is only natural to eat the Bahana and Shi Tingzhu who have crossed the line far away. And judging from the current internal strife in Jiannu, this army of 4,000 people will be defeated. It will never attract a large army to the south.

In the immature political environment of the Qing Dynasty, military exploits had the greatest impact on personal prestige, and at the same time, it would also lead to changes in personal strength. Before Emperor Shunzhi arrived in Beijing, the Two Yellow Banners would never accept a Dolgon with a greatly increased strength.

And the two yellow flags would be happy to see Dorgon defeated.

Speaking of which, the current situation is quite similar to the Battle of Jinzhou back then. However, at that time, it was Huang Taiji who insisted on fighting, and Dolgon repeatedly asked for the withdrawal of troops, but he refused to fight, and as a result, he was punished for cowardice.

Bahana and Shi Tingzhu received orders to shrink on the southern front to avoid fighting two days later than Zhu Cihong, and they also received the punishment of dismissal from their posts. They hurriedly sent troops to recover the armor soldiers and coats who went to Texas. According to Cangzhou. Although there was news from Jingshi that the regent was going to transfer them to Shanxi, I don't know why they hadn't received an official military order yet, so they had to wait.

When Zhu Cihong learned of the hole cards, he immediately ordered the third battalion of the guards of Tannin to attack Shunde Mansion and recover Xingtai, and other subordinate counties attached themselves to the situation and played the red flag of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, Min Zhanlian's reserve battalion was mobilized to Texas as a general reserve. Zhou Yuji's cavalry battalion went to Wuyi to maneuver, and Xiao Donglou's second guard battalion went out of Wudi. Pointing directly at Cangzhou, he occupied Wuqiao with Xiao Mo's battalion.

Wuqiao was originally an important town in North China, and there were eighteen tuns outside the county seat, which were the remnants of the military tun and the people's tun in those years. Because Shi Tingzhu and Bahana were ordered to retreat, the people of Wuqiao County were able to return to their hometowns and go to the fields to collect grain.

August of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen. In the large camp of the Chinese army outside Wuqiao County, the commanders of each battalion gathered together for military discussions.

The General Staff Headquarters had previously sent the operational code names and the campaign objectives of each unit to the staff headquarters of each battalion, and conducted two rounds of summary discussions, and finally worked out a complete set of campaign plans.

You Shiwei stood by the sand table in front of him, holding a bamboo whip. Below is a cadre battalion, a general school.

"The campaign is divided into three phases," You Shiwei said, "and the first stage is to close the door and fight the dogs. When Bahana and Shi Tingzhu sent troops to the west, the cavalry battalion would go north from Wuyi, recover Wuqiang County, move along the Hutuo River, and cut off the way for the eastern captives to flee north. ”

After Zhou Yuji came to Shandong, he concentrated on training the cavalry battalion and exploring the cavalry tactics, and finally had a place to use, which was quite gratifying.

"The Second Guards Battalion was inserted into Cangzhou from Wudi County, and handed over to the engineer battalion to build fortifications and deploy defenses." You Shiwei continued: "The 3rd Guards Battalion must conquer Zhending and block the way for the Eastern Prisoners to flee west before the Eastern Captives occupy Jinju. ”

Zhending Mansion is the Shijiazhuang of later generations, guarding the mouth of the well, and it is an important channel for Jin and Hebei to come and go.

According to the military law of the Qing army, failure to respond to support is a felony that can be beheaded, and Ye Chen and Jiang Jiu have already gone south from Datong. Li Zicheng has also collected 200,000 Dashun troops from Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and other places, with Liu Zongmin as the general, and the army is directed at Shanxi. If Shi Tingzhu and Bahana want to enter the Jin Dynasty in time, they can only go through the Jingcheng Stage, otherwise the head of Xiang Shangshang will not be guaranteed.

"The 1st Guards Battalion marched west from Wuqiao to Shulu County to prevent the Eastern Capture Army from moving south." You Shiwei lightly tapped the sand table. A young staff officer stood on the side of the sand table and planted the small flags representing the battalions into their destinations with a long pole, while using curved needles and various colored cotton threads to outline the marching routes that the battalions could take.

These routes were submitted by the staff of the battalions, so the battalion officers remembered them for a long time. However, they only knew their own course of action, and this time they saw the four battalions advancing in unison, and they could feel the power of the slaughter from the sand table.

"After the movement of the battalions is in place, it enters the second phase of the campaign." You Shiwei said: "The first battalion will take the lead in launching a general attack on the Eastern Army, and the second and third battalions will serve as the main force. The cavalry battalion waited for an opportunity to make a surprise attack, striving to annihilate it on the spot. In view of the fact that the enemy has 4,000 soldiers, including more than 10,000 people including Bao Yi and Yu Ding, and that the three battalions of our army participating in the battle have 15,000 men and horses, and that the cavalry battalion has 800 men and horses, and the total strength of both sides exceeds 25,000 men, the General Staff Headquarters suggests that the flat and broad territory should be chosen as the main battlefield so that our troops can encircle and attack together. ”

You Shiwei said the word "suggestion", pursed his lips, and exhaled a breath from his nostrils. He is used to being a coach, only "orders", how can he ever have "suggestions"?

Although there was some discomfort in his heart, You Shiwei still nodded at Gaocheng and Jinzhou with a bamboo whip in his hand: "These two places are convenient places for soldiers to deploy. Among them, Gaocheng was once the ancient battlefield of Chengzu and Wu Jie's department, and it was the most suitable for the army to start a battle. However, Gaocheng is close to the Hutuo River, which is easy for the eastern captives to escape, and if a decisive battle is chosen here, the cavalry battalion must effectively block the escape route from the north. ”

"In the third stage of the campaign," You Shiwei said, "after defeating the Eastern Captives, try to capture the Eastern Captives and their auxiliaries alive." Pursue all battalions and divisions, and the northernmost must not cross Wuji County. After completing the pursuit mission, the 3rd Guards Battalion was stationed in Zhending, the 2nd Battalion was stationed in Cangzhou, and the 1st Battalion was stationed in Shenzhou to protect the administration of the pro-people officials. ”

"From Cangzhou to Zhending, a total of four hundred and fifty miles. Shenzhou is the middle point, and the truth is set at 220 miles. As long as the Eastern Captives army passed through Shenzhou, Tangma contact would be carried out every two hours to avoid being broken by the Eastern Captives. The two battalions that are a hundred miles apart must come to the aid within twelve hours, otherwise they will not be guilty of sitting on the deadline, and there will be no forgiveness! You Shiwei said sharply.

As long as Dongyu passed through the deep state, it was equivalent to getting into a big pocket 200 miles long and 50 miles wide. Although the number of Ming troops in each division was smaller than that of the Eastern Army, the number of soldiers in question was similar. In terms of hand-to-hand combat, I am afraid that it is slightly inferior to the armor soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner, but the Han army of the Zhengbai Banner in the face of Shi Tingzhu has a crushing advantage.

What's more, Xiao Tugeng had already arrived in Texas with a new battalion field gun, and at the same time brought a flintlock pistol bureau with all firearms. If he can catch up with this battle, Zhu Cihong can still have an additional flintlock pistol bureau in his hand as a reserve, although the flintlock pistol bureau of more than 100 people seems to have little impact, but it is the first time that the East Palace has used firearms in an organized manner.

"Your Highness, please give a name to this battle." You Shiwei turned to Zhu Cihong, who was sitting high, and said.

"Naming: Battle of the Harvest." Zhu Cihong got up and said: "Take the order of 'the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered at the end of autumn'." (To be continued......)
