Phi Island.

"Although it is a joint operation of the four towns, the Left Association of the Dongjiang Army is still the main force among them." Mao Wenlong patted the paperwork on the table, and said with a smile: "In the battle of Fort Arthur, Jiannu was defeated and flowned, which is really exciting. ”

Chen Jisheng smiled and said, "Like us, the positional defense has shown its might, and we will be more confident in fighting in the future." ”

Gou Zhenhuai took the paperwork, read it carefully, and said slowly: "Jiannu has suffered a big loss, and there may be changes in the future battle." Our army should also train strictly, and on the basis of the superiority of muskets, it should make up for the shortcomings of close combat, so that it can boldly fight against the hostiles. ”

"In the words of Adjutant General Gou." Mao Wenlong agreed, and said: "If the Left Association is strong in close combat and Jiannu is defeated in Fort Arthur, it will not be as simple as losing thousands of men and horses. ”

After a pause, Mao Wenlong continued: "As for Jiannu changing the way of fighting, according to the opinion of the commander, there is only one way to thicken the armor. The eagle destroys the armor and is so fierce that it can apply to the imperial court for more adjustments. ”

"And Jiannu's shield cart." Mao Wenlong finally added: "Artillery can be destroyed, and it also needs to be manufactured by the imperial court to equip all armies. ”

Chen Jisheng hesitated for a moment and said: "The cost is not small, and it will take time to manufacture, I am afraid it will be difficult to meet the needs of our army in a short period of time." At present, it is still necessary to increase attacks and harassment, and take containing the tired enemy as the main mode of operation. ”

Gou Zhenhuai nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "That's right." In less than a year, there have been obvious changes in the officers and soldiers of the towns, all of which depend on the painstaking efforts of the Holy Lord. We still have to play to our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and share our worries mostly for long live. ”

"Long live the wise." Mao Wenlong arched his hand and said: "Things are like gods, and there are already arrangements." The armament of the eagle guns and artillery is proceeding as planned. ”

Gou Zhenhuai smiled and arched his hand: "Long live the wisdom and wisdom, I can't wait for the dust." ”

Chen Jisheng knew that these two people must have some secrets, and when it came to the emperor, he didn't dare to inquire, and he also gave a few compliments.

Gou Zhenhuai has the right to play secretly, and he also guessed that Mao Wenlong will have it.

Similarly, Mao Wenlong knew that Gou Zhenhuai had the responsibility of supervising the army, and he would definitely have the right to secret. But he also has it, which is also deliberately said to Gou Zhenhuai.

Mao Wenlong believed that after becoming the town commander, there was no violation of law and discipline, and he did his best to lead the army.

This time I revealed it to Gou Zhenhuai, and it was also a reminder to him that he had the right to defend himself in secret. If anything goes wrong, it is better to tell him directly without going through the Holy One.

How could Gou Zhenhuai not understand what Mao Wenlong meant, but he didn't think so.

In his opinion, as long as you are loyal to state affairs and do not deceive the saint, you will not complain to the emperor if you have a small problem. But if you want to deceive the king, even if you bring gold and silver treasures, don't blame a certain person for being polite.

Of course, Gou Zhenhuai admits the responsibility of supervising the army, and the emperor has also personally explained his orders.

As for the official position and name of the supervising army, Zhu Youxiao didn't like it. As part of the reform of the military system, not only Dongjiang Town, but also the whole country is gradually eliminating it.

In reality, however, only the powers and names of the superintendents were changed, and the original superintendents were either reduced in power or replaced by military judges and overseers.

For example, the supervising troops of the various armies in the southwest to quell the rebellion, according to the latest holy decree, are only responsible for the crimes of cutting food and nuclear work, and are not allowed to stop the crime.

In other words, the post of supervising the army has been retained for the time being, but it has been unable to control the military command of the generals, and to a large extent the situation of civil and military discord and containment of advance and retreat has been avoided.

In fact, the vast majority of people are not aware of the emperor's extreme dislike of "using literature to control force", and only think that it is the current act of subordination in the war.

Even Wang Sanshan, who was transferred to Beijing to take charge of Jingcha next year, didn't know that the main reason why the emperor replaced him was precisely that he ordered the superintendent of the army and the Taoist ministers to control the generals.

However, Fu Zonglong did the opposite when he played the right game, and finally made the emperor make up his mind, promoted and listened to his plans, and entrusted him with important tasks.

The sudden launch of the Dongjiang Army, as well as the coordinated actions of various military towns, gave Jiannu a heavy blow that was caught off guard.

The Zhengbai Banner led by the Babeile Emperor Taiji, who moved to Xiuyan, was just about to raise troops after receiving an urgent letter from Erbeile Amin asking for help, and the news that Zhenjiang was besieged by the Ming army came again.

From the distance point of view, it is twice as far as going to Nanguan than to Zhenjiang, which one to rescue first, which makes it difficult for Huang Taiji to make a decision for a while.

From the intelligence analysis, although Amin's blue flag was defeated, there are still a lot of troops, and there should be no problem in holding Nanguan.

The occupation of Zhenjiang means that the Ming army under the banner of Mao Wenlong has gotten rid of Daishan's two banners.

At least, Dai Shan had to lead his army from Manpu and Changcheng to Zhenjiang, which would be a day or two later than he led his troops to rush to help.

After analyzing it in this way, Huang Taiji changed his original decision and sent someone to send a letter to Amin, telling him to hold on to Nanguan and not to attack Fort Arthur again.

After stabilizing this side, Huang Taiji led the white flag to gallop in the starry night and rushed to the east of Zhenjiang.

The result was obvious, Huang Taiji was late, Zhenjiang was breached, and the defenders were annihilated.

The Ming army, on the other hand, had already retreated, leaving him with only an empty city after the war.

The question arises again, should he be stationed in Zhenjiang, or should he go back to reinforce Amin in Nanguan?

As for the division of troops, one to defend the city and one to reinforce, Huang Taiji doesn't have to think about it at all. Wouldn't that kind of arrangement give the Ming army another chance to attack again?

Fortunately, after being stationed in Zhenjiang City for a day, the red flag sent by Daishan arrived under the leadership of Yue Tuo, so that Huang Taiji could withdraw to help.

Yue Tuo's arrival also brought not too good news to Huang Taiji, making him more aware of the current combat situation.

Under the repeated resistance of the Ming army, Daishan's two red flags suffered more than 3,000 casualties. It took two more days to prepare by the Yalu River before crossing the river. There was no expected Ming army to intercept the attack, and Manpu and Changcheng were also empty.

In other words, Dai Shan's people have no achievements, let alone gains. Although compared to Amin's defeat, it is already much stronger.

"This is the Ming army's raiding operation!" On the way to Nanguan, Huang Taiji made a judgment, "Peep into the weakness of my big gold, attack and retreat quickly, and have no intention of fighting head-on." ”

Luo Xiujin thought so deeply and said, "What Lord Belle said is extremely true. It's just that it's really hard to prevent such a peep. According to a certain expectation, this trip to Nanguan is mostly useless. The enemy should have abandoned Fort Arthur and sailed away. ”

Huang Taiji nodded, although he had a judgment, but there was no better way, who let Houjin be so few people and occupy such a big place!

If the troops are stationed everywhere, it is giving the Ming army a chance to attack one by one, and the real way to die.

With a wry smile, Huang Taiji said, "I'm afraid, Big Baylor is also having a headache!" ”

Luo Xiujin knew that Huang Taiji was talking about Manpu and Changcheng, and Da Beile Daishan must be in a dilemma, whether to keep it or abandon it, and it was difficult to choose.

"A small city across the river, don't keep it." Luo Xiujin was also very helpless, shook his head and said: "Dongjiang Mao Wenlong has gradually become a confidant. ”

Huang Taiji looked into the distance, slowly narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Mao Wenlong's trouble, kill your ears as soon as possible!" ”

This is no longer just a matter of harassment, with the presence of the Dongjiang Army, Houjin will not be able to concentrate forces to attack western Liao. This battle seems to be a warning to Houjin.

or shrink in Liaoshen and abandon a large area of occupation, which is similar to waiting for death; or destroy the Dongjiang Army and rest assured that it will advance westward; Or rush to attack and advance into western Liaoning, hoping for a quick victory, so that the Dongjiang army could not react.

These three roads are placed in front of Huang Taiji, although the second one is the best, but how easy is it to destroy the Dongjiang army stationed on the island?

Autumn comes earlier in the north than in the south, and the temperature is neither hot nor cold, but the sun is still warm, which is very pleasant.

The question and chop at the entrance of the vegetable market has just ended, and the discussion after the tea will continue, and the "strange and brave department" of the imperial court is about to start again.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, two martial arts courses were opened, although the first subject was somewhat informal, it was enough to surprise the world.

And this second subject is moved step by step, after passing the county examination and the township examination, the martial arts are selected.

That's right, the people who rushed to the capital to participate in the examination were already from Wuju people. It's just that the saint attaches great importance to martial artists, and adds a level of martial arts, and like Wenju, he increases the palace test and adds a banquet.

Not only did the emperor attach importance to it, but the number of martial artists who participated in the examination also set a historical record.

The reason is very simple, many martial arts students who have been given martial arts backgrounds have also joined the entrance examination, and they want to compete for a martial arts background, or even win a martial arts champion.

Although Zhu Youxiao did not look at the background of the students and officers who had learned martial arts, the concept at that time made him feel honored, and he also felt that he would be looked down upon.

In fact, this is similar to later generations, with a diploma from a prestigious school, proud, proud; If you take another graduate school and have a master's title, you will feel better.

Such a situation was not expected by Zhu Youxiao, but after consideration, he did not stop it. If you are self-motivated, why pour cold water on others?

Of course, there are changes to the exam questions to ensure maximum fairness.

In the restaurant, the trio of cowards gathered together again to participate in the battlefield observation group, and Zhang Zongbao, who had just returned from the Dongjiang Army, picked up the wind and washed the dust.

"The musket is so fierce that the five rows take turns, and there is a feeling of non-stop." Zhang Zongbao drank two glasses of wine, his face was a little red, and he was gesturing with his hands, telling the two brothers about his battlefield encounters.

Zhang Junneng nodded and said: "You can see the clues during training, if you shoot in a row, it is not easy for the infantry to rush to the front. ”

Fat Zhao munched on the beef in his mouth, and asked a little vaguely: "What about Jiannu's double-layer heavy armor, can it resist the musket?" ”

Zhang Zongbao took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Why do you ask this layman's words? Whether it can break the armor or not, it depends on the distance and range. It's far away, and you can't hurt it even if you're shirtless! ”
