Wan Qian refers to whether Feng can bear the fiftieth section of the investigation

On July 29, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Huang Shi led the fire battalion into Guiyang City, and this ceremony was more grand than the one in Beijing. In addition to drums, the military instruments currently developed by the fire battalion also include flutes and brass trumpets, and now behind Huang Shi, the fire battalion also has a special commander, according to a certain rhythm, waving the honor guard stick in his hand up and down, directing the musicians who follow closely.

When the officers and men of the whole battalion marched into the gate of Guiyang in a majestic manner to the sound of military music, they were flanked by cheering people from the southwest. Now, the news that the Huangshi army had arrived from Fujian in less than three months had spread throughout the city. Historically, the Zhejiang soldiers were transferred from the south to Liaodong, and they walked for more than half a year with the support of the Grand Canal, while the white pole soldiers, a strong soldier in the southwest, walked for almost three years before reaching the north. The march of the fire-fighting battalion this time really gave the officials and the people the feeling that they had come with wings, of course, they didn't know that just the battalion of the fire-fighting battalion had spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on Huangshi.

People of insight know that in the past, military movements at this distance took about a year even for elite troops; And for those small people, thousands of miles away is already another world. Most people in this era couldn't imagine such a journey, so the word of mouth spread the word of mouth, and even spread the word of the Yellowstone troops.

But for people with and without concepts, they are vaguely aware of one thing, that is, the speed of the army's march has a lot to do with the elite of the troops. From ancient times to the present day, it seems that few rabbles have been able to maintain their formation and start a rapid march, and vice versa. The troops who can maintain a high-speed march have never heard of anyone who cannot fight.

Before Huang Shi entered Guiyang, he still remembered the situation he encountered in Beijing last time, when facing the whole team of firefighting camps, the onlookers also seemed very nervous and unaccustomed, at that time, with the Dongjiang Army marching, the people in Beijing gradually lost their hustle and bustle, just quietly looking at the unprecedented subway army in front of them. There are also quite a few people who cautiously distance themselves from them.

So this time, Huang Shi made arrangements for this in advance, and he has been striding at the front of the team. Soon after entering the city gate, Huang Shi slowly raised his right arm parallel to his upper body, then took a deep breath, and while waving his fists, he led the whole army to shout in unison:

"Ask for bandits and peace of mind!"

"Ask for bandits and peace of mind!"

"Ask for bandits and peace of mind!"

The officers and men of the whole battalion kept shouting in official language as they had rehearsed in advance, and when they marched forward in unison......

As early as before walking to the Guiyang government office, the fire battalion and Huangshi were once again surrounded by enthusiastic people. Compared with the last time they were in Beijing, what happened to them was really worse, such as the unlucky Li Gen, who was now the president, and now he was the president, and he was smashed again, and this time he threw over a string of copper coins.

After finally squeezing through the crowd and returning to the barracks, Wang Qinian complained while taking off his armor: "I really can't stand these people, I am sweating profusely, and I have torn off a piece of the tiger skin on my helmet." ”

"This is the righteous people, the righteous people. Zhang Chengye, who was standing next to him, said with a smile: "Don't you always want to do it?"

"Of course it's the righteous people. That's what I've always said. Wang Qinian changed into his uniform as quickly as possible, and several of them agreed to go to the city to drink early in the morning. Before going out, Wang Qinian first slapped the neat military uniform again, then untied the strap of the helmet and tied it again, and tightened it on his chin: "I mean, I have never seen so many righteous people in the first half of my life." ”

Zhang Chengye walked out side by side with Wang Qinian, and at the same time sighed with emotion: "In fact, we are full of righteous people in Daming. It's just that they don't often encounter our fire camp. ”

When the officers and soldiers of the fire battalion went to Guiyang City to eat and drink, Huang Shi was walking into the Guiyang Government Office with two internal guards. Now Hong Antong can no longer be by his side at all times, because now Hong Antong's work has become very heavy, especially at this critical time, in order to maintain military discipline, the internal guards have all been dispersed to the city, and the general head of the gendarmerie naturally has to go to his own business.

Huang Shi is accustomed to today's situation, and he has seen many such fanatical scenes in his previous life—who said that our nation is numb? They just haven't met enough true feelings to move people.

In the official office, Zhang Heming and Wu Mu were waiting for Huangshi.

Huang Shi first greeted Mr. Zhang Heming, and Zhang Heming also returned the salute and greeted. Huang Shi then greeted Wu Mu, who had not seen him for a few months: "Father-in-law Wu." All the way to Guiyang. It's been a lot of work. ”

Wu Mu stroked his chest and smiled: "Huang Shuai said that he laughed, where is our family hard? Huang Shuai is really hard. ”

After Huang Shi sat down, Zhang Heming coughed, and went straight to the topic: "Everything is foreseen, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted, before Huang Shuai arrived in Guiyang, the old man and Wu Gonggong had already discussed the issue of pacifying the rebellion in the southwest." The old man is the southwest governor appointed by the saint, and he does not dare not worry about the country, so the 200,000 officers and soldiers will be uniformly dispatched by the old man; Gonggong Wu was the ambassador of the army sent by the imperial court, so the grain and grass of these four provinces were allocated and distributed by Gonggong Wu. ”

Zhang Heming looked over to Wu Mu as he spoke, Wu Mu had naturally discussed it with Zhang Heming, and he immediately smiled and nodded: "Okay, our family will do our best to never let the front-line soldiers suffer from hunger and cold." ”

After Zhang Heming and Wu Mu divided the two rights of strategic decision-making and logistics supply, they then looked at Huang Shi again: "Huang Shuai is in charge of the military affairs of the four provinces, and it all depends on Huang Shuai's tiger power to defeat the enemy and quell the rebellion and calm the people." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Heming also bowed to Huang Shi, and Huang Shi hurriedly avoided the table and stood up and thanked him: "Don't dare, Lord Zhang is serious, this is all the duty of the last general." ”

Huang Shi had long known that Zhang Heming and Wu Mu would discuss such a command system. Since the closure of the Metropolitan Governor's Palace, the military command of the Ming Dynasty has basically been within this framework. The civilian officer of the overseer army is responsible for the overall strategy of the land, the deployment of troops, and the when, where, and what enemy to fight. It was also decided by Wenchen; The eunuchs of the supervising army are responsible for the supply of grain and grass for the whole army, the distribution of military salaries, and the transportation and distribution of various baggage and weapons; The specific work of siege, defense, arranging troops, and defeating the enemy in the field are all the work of military attachés.

Huangshi has always thought that this system came up with civil officials has always been very wonderful, if they can win the war, the first merit is naturally to be responsible for the strategic civil ministers, China has highly emphasized the decisive role of strategy since ancient times, especially the civilian officials; People are iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, and the credit of the eunuchs in the prison army after the victory is naturally indispensable; And the merit of the generals is only calculated according to the head.

And if defeated. At this time, Wenchen did not recognize the great guiding significance of the strategy, and the blame for the defeat must be borne by Wu Cheng. Because the military generals specifically commanded the battle process, it must have been these Qiu Ba who messed up their good plan; If the generals died in battle, the civil officials could generally put the blame on the eunuchs who supervised the army, and it must have been these eunuchs who embezzled armor and military salaries, or they did not give enough food and grass to the army out of instinctive harmful habits, which led to the defeat.

However, what made Huang Shi happy was that it was Wu Mu who was in charge of logistics and supplies. In this way, the supply of the Funing Army will inevitably be fully guaranteed. It is impossible for Wu Mu not to be corrupt at all, because this is completely inconsistent with the unspoken rules of the Ming Dynasty, not only the eunuch system wants, but also the civil official system is waiting for Wu Mu to distribute. But as long as Wu Mu sits in this position, then Huang Shi doesn't need to worry that he will lack his own supplies, Wu Mu is corrupt and will only be greedy for other generals.

Although Wu Mu's work burden is not as heavy as Huangshi's, in fact, his work is not easy, with a large amount of grain, grass, salaries, and materials for 200,000 Ming troops in the four provinces. I don't know how many people are waiting to share this cake. Wu Mu, who was in charge of distributing the cakes, not only had to ensure that most of the civil officials and generals were satisfied, but also had to control not to let them eat too much, so that the army was completely overwhelmed.

Of course, the easiest job is Zhang Heming, and the war is naturally Huangshi's desperate efforts, and Wu Mu will definitely not dare to miss Zhang Heming's big cake when he is corrupt. Zhang Heming's only job was to sit safely in Guiyang City, looking at the map...... Or design a variety of strategic plans without looking at the map. Then leave it to Yellowstone to execute.

Now Zhang Heming, Wu Mu and Huangshi are in accordance with the tradition of the Ming army to form a new troika to quell the rebellion of luxury. Well, a more apt metaphor might not be a troika, but a horse, a coachman, and a guide. Even if the guide refers to the cliff, the first to fall is the horse, and both have a chance to jump.

After the guide Zhang Heming assigned the work, he began to ask Ma Pidi's opinion: "Huang Shuai, in your opinion, how should this rebellion of luxury be pacified?"

It's a matter of life and death for the horses themselves. Yellowstone, of course, was in good spirits. The thoughts that have been repeatedly thought about along the way are revealed: "Mr. Zhang, the end will be thought." In the past, when the official army attacked the Yongning thief, An Bangyan either did his best to go out to the west to help, or after harassing the officials and soldiers; If the official army besieged the Shuixi thieves, then Yu Chongming would definitely attack from all sides, trying to contain the Wang Shi for the Shuixi thieves and transport grain to the Shuixi, so although the Wang Shi lived here for several years, it was in vain. ”

Huang Shi paused, looking at Zhang Heming's face, only to see that Boss Zhang immediately fell into deep thought, probably recalling the past war. For a long time, Zhang Heming looked at him, and said with his jaw: "Huang Shuai remembers well, and he secretly agrees with the old man's opinion." ”

Reaching a strategic consensus with Zhang Heming is the first step in discussing strategic issues, seeing that the first level has passed, Huang Shi took a breath and began the second round of activities: "Boss Zhang praised it falsely, the last general was dull, and he was a little cranky, and he dared to ask Boss Zhang for advice." ”

Zhang Heming twisted his beard and smiled, as if he was quite satisfied with Huang Shi's performance: "Today is an open and honest discussion of military affairs, but Huang Shuai is okay to talk about it." ”

"Master Zhang Mingjian, as long as the officials and soldiers can cut off one of the two thieves in Shuixi and Yongning first, then the remaining other road will not have to worry, this is a divide-and-rule strategy. Because the last general thinks that my Ming Wang Shi can take Banzhou (Zunyi), and then forcibly cross Chishui, recover Chishuiwei, and isolate the north and south, and then if Mr. Zhang wants to fight Shuixi first, he will hit Shuixi, and if he wants to destroy Yongning first, he will destroy Yongning. I don't know what Boss Zhang thinks?"

Zhang Heming glared, turned around and shouted, "Get the map." ”

After the retinue sends the map up. Huang Shi carefully explained his views to Zhang Heming and Wu Mu: "The use of troops in the southwest depends on the grain and grass, if the grain road is not smooth, even if there are millions of soldiers, there is nothing to do." Therefore, the general intended to use Banzhou as a large camp for grain storage, and our army here could rely on the Xiangjiang River to transport grain and soldiers, which was very convenient. ”

From Zunyi to the west, along the Chishui can go straight to Chishuiwei by land and water. Located on the north bank of the Chishui River, this place is like a natural moat. Shaped like a sharp knife inserted into the joint of the rebels, it happened to split the Shuixi and Yongning regions in two.

"Mr. Zhang, Gonggong Wu, I am Ming to the two thieves of Shuixi and Yongning, which is the momentum of the king's master, if the thief does not move, he will be attacked on all sides; And the two thieves are inside, no matter how many ways the king attacks them. They can delay time by virtue of their geographical advantages, and first gather troops to counterattack all the way, so that the single-way king division is outnumbered......"

What Huang Shi said is actually the respective advantages of strategic encirclement and internal operations. Much like the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin, the alliance of Yu Chongming and An Bangyan also took advantage of their combat effectiveness to carry out continuous internal operations, and resolved the strangulation of the Ming Dynasty on all sides again and again. In this era, because of the means of communication, strategic encirclement network coordination has always been very problematic. If the combat effectiveness is inferior, it is easy to be constantly beaten by the enemy on the inside line.

"If my Ming King can possess Chishuiwei, then my Daming, the two thieves of Xuan Chongming and An Bangyan will be outside, no matter how they move, they will be seen clearly by Chishuiwei. Boss Zhang can also choose one and destroy it first. The rest of the thieves were left alone. ”

After Huang Shi finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Heming with hope, waiting for his final decision.

From the military attaché's point of view, Huangshi will inevitably give up the best plan in his mind, because it is a matter of life and death for him. But Zhang Heming has more choices, and the view of civil officials accepting military generals is called following advice, which is naturally measured by him, and victory is naturally the first achievement; But even if you don't accept it, it is a far-sighted and wise discovery of the recklessness in the general's plan.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Heming finally shook his head: "Huang Shuai's words are a bit harsh and reckless. This Chishuiwei goes deep into the hinterland of Yongning and Shuixi, close to the thief and far away from me. If the army is raised in advance, it will go straight to Banshu. The two thieves will be able to strike first, once the rebels fortify Chishui. It was just a futile effort to raise troops and plant the state; If we send a group of elite troops straight to Chishui, even if we succeed for a while, we will be attacked by the two thieves from the north and south, and by the time our army arrives in Banzhou, I am afraid that the vanguard will be more than lucky!"

Huang Shi had already thought about the draft, so before Zhang Heming's words fell, he added: "Master Zhang, the last general has three battalions of elite soldiers, all of which are heroes, and the last general thinks that he can send a battalion to Chishui, and then hoard grain and grass for them through the Chishui River, and they will be able to resist the thief army until the main force of the Wang Division arrives." ”

After listening to Huangshi's words, Zhang Heming thought for a long time, and shook his head again: "The art of war has clouds, first for the invincible in me, and then for the invincible in the enemy, now I am the four provinces of the Ming Dynasty with cooperation, and 200,000 Wang Shi besieged the two thieves of Shuixi and Yongning. ”

"Mr. Zhang, the two thieves of Extravagant Chongming and An Bangyan are both local officials, and they have a lot of in-laws with the Tusi of the four provinces, and the traitors who sold them grain and straw privately do not know how many. Huang Shi said it nicely, but in fact he felt that this encirclement network was simply leaking from all sides, and such a large area of rebel activities could not be taken care of by the 200,000 Ming troops at all, not to mention that many of these Ming troops had suspicious positions.

As for Zhang Heming's invincibility in me and victory in the enemy, Huangshi disagreed even more, and the front line of the 200,000 Ming army was unfolded, and this circular encirclement network was full of flaws. The situation here and Houjin is the same, luxury Chongming and An Bangyan have no time to develop in either direction because they are surrounded by enemies on all sides, but the two armies continue to face each other for a long time, and there is a possibility that the enemy will come out and plunder at any time.

The most fundamental thing is that Zhang Heming's overall strategy is to do nothing and wait for the other party to make a fatal mistake. In Huang Shi's view, this is simply a wait-and-see to raise the enemy, not to mention whether you can withstand it when the other party recuperates and kills out, just say that sitting in Guiyang City so loosely, and not maintaining any military pressure, how can the opponent have flaws?

At this time, Zhang Heming was still looking down at the map, and everyone was about to lie on the table. Wu Mu had the heart to help Huang Shi say two words. Just muttered on the side: "I don't know what the water volume of the Xiangjiang River is, and I don't know what the water volume of the Chishui River is, how many soldiers and horses can be supported in battle?"

Huang Shi glanced at Wu Mu gratefully, and said to Zhang Heming, who was still observing the map: "I want to teach Gonggong Wu to know that the volume of water in this Xiangjiang River is very large, enough to hoard tens of thousands of troops in a month, and the amount of water in the Chishui River is not small. It can support at least 3,000 people in battle. ”

Wu Mu said loudly: "In this way, our family can rest assured." ”

Zhang Heming was still frowning at this time, staring at the Chishui Wei on the map, and his snow-white long beard was also dragged to the table. After a long, long time, Zhang Heming raised his head and said, "It's a risk, it's not appropriate, it's not appropriate." ”

Seeing that Huang Shi was about to argue again, Zhang Heming waved his hand and said: "The old man knows Huang Shuai's heart to serve the country very well, but in the old man's opinion, if he is determined to attack Chishuiwei." It is better to gather a large army in Banzhou first, mobilize good grain and grass, and then overcome it in one fell swoop. ”

"Mr. Zhang, the accumulation of the official army of the four provinces in Banzhou is bound to be protracted, how can it take more than three months, and Yongning and Shuixi are only a few days away from Chishuiwei, and after the official army gathers in Banzhou, the defense of the Chishui rebels has been solidified, and it may not be easy to capture Chishui. ”

"Then it depends on Huang Shuai's martial arts. If Huang Shuai can't capture Chishuiwei, then I'm afraid there will be no one in the world who can capture it. ”

"Mr. Zhang, the art of war has a saying of avoiding the real and attacking the false, now my Ming officers and troops are gathered in Guiyang, Weiqing and other places, and the main forces of An Bangyan are attracted here, and the extravagant Chongming is also contained in the northwest by the Sichuan army and the Yunnan army. The last general thinks that it is better to go straight to the red water with a surprise army now, and he will succeed. The thieves were shocked to find out how it would take more than ten days to rush back to Chishui. At this time, our army's city has been consolidated, the grain is sufficient, and there is a period of victory. ”

"Where in the world is there a saying that you will win, Huang Shuai said. ”

"What Boss Zhang blamed was that the last general was arrogant, but nine out of ten wins. ”

"It's not a perfect solution!" Zhang Heming slowly sat back on his chair and shook his head: "Because I can't win it, I can't win it, and when I can win it, I'll be right." ”

"Mr. Zhang......"

"Alright. Zhang Heming interrupted Huang Shi's urgent defense without hurry, and taught earnestly: "Huang Shuai. It's not that the soldiers rely on the old and sell the old. It's really Huang Shuai, you are still too young, young people are just a little frivolous. Alas. Huang Shuai, you just resent the old man, this soldier is fierce and dangerous, and he really can't do it. ”

Huang Shi puffed out his mouth, and finally bowed to the ground: "Thank you Boss Zhang for your guidance, so that the last general will be opened." ”

......

In July of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, an imperial historian of the Ming court impeached Yuan Chonghuan for "not saving North Korea in the front and Jinzhou in the future, and the army did not fight, and it was difficult to drum up in the twilight", and the cabinet also believed that Yuan Chonghuan "did not save Jinzhou for twilight", so Yuan Chonghuan resigned from the post of governor of Liaodong. Tianqi ordered to stop continuing to investigate Yuan Chonghuan's responsibility for the land, and rewarded Yuan Chonghuan with his retirement allowance as a squire of the military department according to the old man's return to his hometown, and the aftermath of the Battle of Ningjin subsided unnoticedly.

Later, Yan Mingtai, the secretary of the Ming Army, began to personally inquire about Liao affairs, and Yan Mingtai immediately sent envoys to pacify the Mongolian tribes and assure them that the Ming would never negotiate peace with the Later Jin.

After receiving repeated assurances from the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian ministries finally chose to believe in the consistent national policy of the Ming Dynasty, and the Karaqin Mongols had openly allied themselves with the Later Jin and exchanged affidavit. However, after receiving Yan Mingtai's assurance, he sent an envoy to Huang Taiji to declare the alliance null and void, and immediately sent troops together with Bayan Mongols to attack Liaobei and Horqin Mongols.

......

On 5 August, both the Panshi Battalion and the Xuanfeng Battalion arrived in Guiyang, and at the same time, the Yangtze River Shipping also transported some of the ordnance produced by Funing Town more than a month ago.

Huang Shi picked up a metal cylinder from the box, brushed the floor to stretch it, then closed one eye, put the metal cylinder in front of the other eye, and held it with both hands to gently adjust the length of the metal cylinder, while slowly turning his body to take in all the surrounding scenery in his eyes.

"Good. Huang Shi took the metal cylinder from his eyes and handed it to He Dingyuan on the side, and at the same time asked Jia Minghe and the others to also pick one up from the box: "This thing is called a telescope." ”

Huang Shi taught them how to use the telescope one by one, and asked his subordinates to try to use it to see the surrounding scene: "If you can't see clearly, gently stretch or shorten it until you see what you want to see clearly." ”

He Dingyuan opened his mouth slightly. Close your left eye tightly and look at the telescope without saying a word. After looking at it for a while, He Dingyuan suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed it in the air in front of him...... There is no doubt that He Dingyuan has caught a blank shot. After He Dingyuan put down the telescope with his other hand, he looked down at the hand he had grasped empty, which was still clenched into a fist and hung in the air at this time: "It's really like it's in front of you, the mountains, the trees and the birds." It seems to be within reach. ”

Several other people also lowered their binoculars one after another, and their faces were full of surprise. Pu Guanshui, the battalion deputy of the Xuanfeng Battalion, was the first to speak: "Marshal." This thing is really a militaristic weapon, enough to reach hundreds of horses!"

"That is, the last general sees it that way. Jia Minghe raised the binoculars and looked at it again, and praised as he looked: "In the past, if it was such a long distance, there was no one in the woods and grass who could not see it at all, and when the horse approached, the thieves might shrink into the grass again." If you're not careful, you won't be able to find it, but now that you have it, the enemy soldiers have nothing to hide. ”

"Well, unless they've been hiding in the grass, but then they won't see anything. He Dingyuan also raised the telescope again when he heard Jia Minghe say this, he looked at the woods and turned to look at his military flag: "Marshal, with this telescope, our army's flag can be several miles away." It's a good thing. ”

"Alright, put the binoculars back in the box first. As soon as Huang Shi gave the order, his subordinates put back all the equipment in their hands. This time, Funing Town brought a total of ten telescopes to Huangshi, and Huangshi hadn't figured out how to distribute these precious materials for a while, but there was no doubt about the use of one of them.

In addition to the telescopes sent to the rear this time, Huangshi also received other batches of boxes. But now he was in a hurry to get to work, so he had to wait until he came back to open it.

After the arrival of the Xuanfeng battalion the day before yesterday, Zhang Heming held another troika meeting, but he still wanted to concentrate the three battalions in Huangshi in Guiyang in order to make sure that everything was perfect. According to Zhang Heming, with the arrival of Huangshi, the rebels in front of Weiqing have increased again, so the pressure on Guiyang has increased again, and a fierce general like Huangshi naturally has to stay in Guiyang to prepare for enemy attacks.

But in Huang Shi's view, this is simply the opponent's stress behavior because of the arrival of his army and being stimulated. So he once again offered to surprise the Chishuiwei, taking advantage of the fact that the rebels' attention was drawn to the north and south flanks.

At the last meeting, due to the repeated requests of Huangshidi. Zhang Heming also seemed to be a little moved. It was suggested that the main generals of the Ming army be summoned to discuss this, but Huangshi was adamantly opposed to the idea. There were too many Tusi generals in the Ming army gathered in the southwest. Huang Shi has always been skeptical of their loyalty, and in the past battles, there have been many cases of Tusi troops defecting, and Huang Shi believes that there are not a few people who secretly reported to An Bangyan.

After Huang Shi finished his official business, he came to visit Zhang Heming Shangshu, and he also carried a telescope of the best quality. This gift looks very good, Zhang Heming also can't put down the telescope, standing in the courtyard and looking at it with great interest, and hanging Huangshi aside for a long time.

After Zhang Heming put down the binoculars, he let out a sincere sigh: "Hongyi still has a lot of good things, which are worth learning from our Ming Dynasty." ”

Then Old Man Zhang lowered his head and fiddled with the telescope in his hand, and suddenly raised his head and asked eagerly: "Is this Huang Shuai bought from Hongyi, or is it our own origin?"

"Back to Mr. Zhang, it's the last general......" Huang Shi briefly introduced Desmond and told Zhang Heming, a Dutchman, had joined the Ming Army, and he was also a technical director in Funing Town, and the telescope was made by craftsmen in Funing Town from the lens to the shell.

"Very good, such a militaristic weapon cannot be controlled by Hongyi after all. In the old man's opinion, this telescope should be promoted in various military towns in the Ming Dynasty, and after the Ministry of Industry and the various military towns in Beijing can manufacture it, this telescope will really be our Ming Dynasty's weapon. ”

Zhang Heming pondered for a moment, and then added: "Huang Shuai, the old man has seen the Hongyi cannon, and that thing is also amazingly powerful. As a Min Shuai, you usually have to send more people to spy on Hongyi to see what other good things they have, we either buy or learn, in short, we have to become my Daming. ”

"Back to Mr. Zhang's words, the last general's military town has already recruited several Taixi, except for this telescope. There is also a cannon casting master, the skills of making Hongyi cannons, and Funing Town also knows some ...... "Once the war starts, sooner or later, Zhang Heming will find out, so there is no need for Huangshi to avoid it, so he also told Deng Can and others about the situation."

Zhang Heming twisted his beard and smiled: "Learning from each other's strengths has been the best policy since ancient times." Barbarian in my Huaxia, it also has the effect of attacking jade. Huang Shuai has fought against barbarians all his life, and it is amazing to have such a mind. The old man was deeply grateful. ”

"Mr. Zhang praised it falsely. ”

After Huang Shi was modest, there was a cold scene between the two of them for a while, Zhang Heming looked Huang Shi up and down a few more times, and then walked to the pavilion in the backyard by himself: "Huang Shuai, please come with the old man, the old man has something in his heart and wants to talk to Huang Shuai." ”

After waiting for no one around, Zhang Heming asked lightly: "What does Huang Shuai think of Wang Huazhen?"

Huang Shi was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Master Zhang." The last will be the minister of state, if this question is asked by Mr. Zhang as the secretary of the military department, the last will be outspoken; But if Mr. Zhang asked in private, the last general would have been favored by the prince and would not be willing to say anything wrong. ”

Zhang Heming nodded again and again after hearing this, and only sighed softly after a long time: "That's a good point." Then Zhang Heming suddenly raised his voice again: "What does Huang Shuai think of Sun Chengzong?"

Huang Shi leaned over again and replied in a deep voice: "Back to Master Zhang, Elder Sun Ge is broad-minded. It is a true gentleman, a big husband, and the last general has also been blessed by Sun Ge's old acquaintance, and he dare not forget this matter for a day. ”

Zhang Heming smiled slightly after hearing this, it seemed that Huang Shidi's answer was completely in his expectation, Zhang Heming raised his official uniform and sat on the bench in the pavilion, and stroked his sleeve at the same time: "Huang Shi, you sit." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. ”

"You and I will meet in private in the future. There is no need to mention the word "adult" again. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. ”

After Huang Shi sat down, Zhang Heming said in a flat tone: "Wang Huazhen is a talent, but unfortunately he went astray, alas, it is really sad. Well, it was Xiong Tingbi who harmed him, that Xiong Tingbi is really innocent!"

Zhang Heming was the presiding judge of the Guangning fiasco back then, and when Huang Shi was thinking about how to respond, Zhang Heming was just a meal. Then he said: "Back then, it was the old man who recommended the king of the land to turn into a virgin. Although he has the trust of the country, his heart for the country is indeed a good land. The fact that he promoted you and Mao Shuai is enough to prove this. ”

"That's what Elder Zhang said. Huang Shi lowered his head and whispered in agreement.

"Sun Chengzong was also recommended by the old man, Huangshi-" Zhang Heming shouted in a deep voice, Huangshi also raised his head when he heard the sound, Zhang Heming looked at him seriously: "Huangshi, you are from our Donglin!"

"What Zhang Lao said is that the last general is, of course, a person from Donglin. ”

"The old man has been paying attention to you for a long time, you and Mao Shuai can not forget their roots, and resolutely do not give Wei Gelding an ancestral hall, which is very good, it shows that you are pure by nature, loyal and righteous. Of course, Zhang Heming would never give Wei Zhongxian an ancestral hall, and he also tried his best to prevent the surrounding people from setting up an ancestral hall for Wei Zhongxian. For an old man in his seventies, Wei Zhongxian had no handle in his hands, and he didn't feel the need to fight with an old guy who was half-cut into the ground, so he let him go.

"Nanjing coinage case, eunuch and want to take the opportunity to frame Zhongliang, although the old man swears to fight with them, but there is also a sense of loneliness. At that time, Huangshi you could come forward, which also moved the old man very much. ”

"Mr. Zhang really won the prize. Huang Shi was sweating on his forehead when he heard this. In order not to set up the Wei Zhongxian Ancestral Hall, he praised himself, and he felt that it was quite reliable, and the Nanjing coinage case was not an unjust case from beginning to end. The coins of the Donglin Party have led to a wide range of rejections by the people in the south, which has dealt a serious blow to the country's credit, and those coins have also been seen in Huangshi, and the quality is really bad to the point of being incomparable.

I remember that Liu Qingyang commented on Huangshi at that time: This kind of "real" money is not completely without benefits, if the Donglin Party is allowed to mint it, it will definitely make all the people who make counterfeit money bankrupt, and completely eliminate all the fake money in the Ming Dynasty. And Zhang Heming's so-called "sworn to the death" can not explain anything other than that he is a hard-fought old Donglin party stick.

In fact, Huangshi and Liu Qingyang both did not know, in history, after the Donglin Party returned to power, the coins of the Chongzhen Dynasty were the worst batch in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and the copper coins minted were claimed to be blacker than lead and thinner than paper. After a series of serious refusals, the Donglin Party also used the state violence to force merchants to subscribe to "real" money, so that as soon as they heard that the imperial court had minted money again, the merchants of the two capitals would flee from the city in droves, and would not return to trade until the rumors had passed.

"Huangshi, you are earnest for your meritorious service, the old man understands it very well, but the art of war is cloudy: arrogant soldiers will be defeated. The old man doesn't let you fight, but he also loves you. ”

"That's what Elder Zhang said. ”

"The art of war is cloudy: how do soldiers practice? What kind of temple is more? Huangshi, your military training is very good, but you are too impetuous, so this temple is counted as one layer, and the old man must count it again, three times!"

"Zhang Lao Gao. ”

"There is a cloud in the art of war: those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens, and those who are good at defending are hiding under the nine earths...... Immovable as a mountain, moving as thunder! Therefore, Huangshi, you must calm down and not be reckless. ”

"Mr. Zhang......"

"The Art of War: ......"

"Zhang ......"

After educating Huang Shi, Zhang Heming took a deep breath: "Huang Shi, if you can promise the old man three things, the old man will let you attack." ”

Huang Shi's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly raised his head and said, "Elder Zhang, please speak." ”

Zhang Heming stretched out a finger: "First, after sending out the army, you can't drink alcohol, can you." ”

Huang Shi first lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and laughed: "Don't worry, Elder Zhang, the last general will be able to do it!"

Another finger: "Second, don't be greedy for merit, think twice before doing anything, can you." ”

"The end will be able!" Huang Shi nodded without hesitation.

Zhang Heming also raised the third finger: "You must listen carefully to the old man for the last one." The old man wants you to set up camp in Banzhou first, and you will be deeply rooted, and you will not be able to win for yourself; Then multiple detectives, make sure to make sure that the enemy is unprepared before they can be dispatched, which is called the latter to defeat the enemy, you can do it?"

"Zhang Lao Gao saw that the last general should act like this. Huang Shi solemnly agreed.

Zhang Heming seemed to be a little uneasy for a long time, so he added again: "The art of war, people cannot be resurrected after death, and the country cannot be resurrected. Huangshi, if you listen to the old man's words, you will be foolproof, earnestly. ”

Huang Shi got up and bowed deeply to Zhang Heming, clasped his hands into fists and said loudly: "Zhang Lao's golden and jade good words, the last general must keep it in mind, and when the last general arrives in Banzhou, he must first investigate, and then investigate, and after repeatedly confirming that the enemy army is indeed unprepared, he will send troops to Chishui Wei." ”

"Okay," Zhang Heming shouted, then stroked his beard and smiled, "So you can go...... But if the enemy has no gaps, you must not venture into Yellowstone. ”

"The last will obey. Finally getting out of Zhang Heming's endless rambling, Huang Shi really felt that his breathing was a little easier.

After taking his leave from Zhang Heming, Huang Shi trotted all the way back to his camp, and immediately called his subordinates to convene an emergency military meeting. Zhang Heming would consider the issue of transferring other Ming troops to the territory after receiving further reports from Huangshi. In addition to his own descendants, Zhang Heming took out two battalions from Guiyang City and handed them over to him to command.

"The soldiers are fast, Jia Minghe and the Xuanfeng battalion continue to rest, I will lead the fire battalion, the two battalions of Panshi and the four thousand officers and troops of Guiyang to Banzhou to build the camp tonight, and at the same time ask Gonggong Wu for the allocation of grain and grass. After the first batch of grain and grass arrived, He Dingyuan immediately crossed Chishui with the Panshi battalion and conducted large-scale fire reconnaissance against Chishuiwei. ”
