CHAPTER XXXIV
Chapter 34 Xu Da's deduction of future wars
It's not good to turn these things out, does Xu Da want to tell his son, you and I, secretly buried people in the palace, and even arranged people outside the city gate, once there is a change, Jin can lead the army into the city, kill the guy, retreat can sail to the sea, and escape overseas?
Isn't that okay?
Anyway, Xu Dawei is embarrassed. No father wants to admit in front of his son that he is a hypocrite.
What's more, Xu Huizu is a good boy, a good boy in every sense. Xu Da couldn't say anything.
As for the third child, Xu Zengshou.
Xu Da has even more headaches, Xu Huizu is a good boy, then Xu Zengshou is a bad boy. Xu Da had a headache, it seemed that God had passed on his humble and gentlemanly temperament to the boss, and passed on to Xu Zengshou the selfish methods that he had never revealed in front of others.
Although Xu Zengshou has never been shown on the bright side, who is Xu Da? The old fox among the old foxes of the Ming Dynasty, sometimes, Xu Da couldn't help but beat Xu Zengshou, the third child, showing his feet, I want to pretend not to know, and I can't do it.
But so what?
When the children grow up, they all have their own ideas. The boss is dedicated to being a loyal minister and filial son and serving the emperor, even if he re-educates, it is useless, maybe, he will still be a son. to advise him, the old father.
That's it.
With the door of the Duke of Wei, there are no bad intentions, even if there are setbacks in the future, the new emperor, no matter which new emperor is, will not be a big deal if he looks at his Xu Da's face.
And the third child, no matter how he teaches him, is that he only promises on the surface, sincerely changes, and never changes in private. However, if you don't change it, you won't change it, all kinds of selfish means, can you be smarter, you belong to the kind of people who do bad things and can't understand them.
This made Xu Da very helpless, the obedient son had no ability, and the son who had a little ability was disobedient one by one.
So Xu Da didn't bother to see them.
I didn't see it, I didn't listen to it, I didn't change it, and if I changed it, I pretended to deal with him, an old man. And it makes sense. Anyway, the Wei Mansion is not an ordinary family, and they don't need their sons to serve them closely, and their three sons are clumsy and have no ability to serve people.
It's just that this time Xu Da can't see his three sons.
Without him, Xu Da smelled the changes, and it was possible to subvert the changes in his life's work.
Xu Da said, "Boss, go to the bookshelf and get the map of Yu County."
"Yes." Xu Huizu said. He immediately went to the bookshelf next to him, and there were labels on this shelf, such as, Hebei, Monan, Japan, Annam, Luchuan, Nanyang, and so on. Xu Huizu quickly found the map of Yu County from the bookshelf in Shandong and opened it immediately.
This is a map that meets Ho Xi's criteria.
Rivers, hills, contour lines, roads, cities, villages, all should be complete, this is the time of Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, Jinyiwei and Qingzhang personnel completed the map together, it stands to reason that this map is numerous.
One set of the governor's office of the five armies, one set of household departments, and one set of Ouchi, in addition, the political envoys of various places, prefectures, counties, and prefectures, only have their own and their subordinate maps. And I don't know when, Xu Da copied a copy at home.
Xu Da nodded to Xu Huizu. Xu Huizu immediately lifted the white cloth on the table, it was a sand table, a large sand table.
No need for Xu Da to speak.
Xu Huizu led his two younger brothers to make the sand table of Yu County.
With this hand alone, the three sons of the Xu family can be regarded as high-end talents in Daming. Without him, these map sand tables, and even the concept of wargame deduction, He Xi told Zhu Yuanzhang. But there are not many people in the army who can do it, not more than a hundred.
After all, many veterans are old and despise the new. I think these talents are better than drawing, how can they fight?
Xu Da said, "The battle of Yuxian is already known, right? Let's recap."
Xu Huizu agreed, took out red and black chess pieces from the side, and compared them with the imperial court newspaper, the front-line military newspaper, Tang Shengzong's private letter, and of course, Tang Shengzong's subordinates will write to Wei in the future
Letters from the National Government.
That's right, Xu Da is the biggest mountain in the army, as long as he wants to, there is nothing in the army that Xu Da can't figure out.
So, Xu Huizu explained Tang Shengzong's contact with He Xi, started a war, advanced and retreated, and finally defeated, and explained it clearly.
I don't know if Xu Da is in good spirits, or if Xu Huizu is too boring, he is a little drowsy.
After Xu Huizu finished speaking, Xu Da said, "Tell me, why did He Xi win? Why did Tang Shengzong fail?"
Xu Huizu said: "I think that the main reason why the old marquis was defeated was to underestimate the enemy, who was he even going to deal with? I don't know. Ye Shen is a person who is very talented in using soldiers, but he has never been sensitive to the major affairs of the court, if he is not here, even if he does not fall to the ground, he cannot have the status he has now. He Xi was loyal to him, and He Xi also trusted him very much, and the army they brought was the Beijing Jingying, where the northern guards were selected. And the old marquis went to his post in a hurry, and he didn't even recognize all the generals under his command. How can you be undefeated?"
Xu Da said, "Come, look at this letter." Xu Da took out a letter from the letter, and after Xu Huizu read it, he immediately frowned.
Xu Da said, "See? When Old Tang entered the ambush field, he was aware. He just put his generals in the front, otherwise, with the character of Old Tang, how could he be in the back?"
It's not that generals who can fight like to take the lead. But many generals who can win battles like this. It's not that you don't care about your own safety, but you need to get first-hand information so that you can make arrangements as soon as possible.
Otherwise, wait for the front to report to the rear army, and then give the order to adjust, which will take time. Is the time difference between the two likely to determine the outcome of a big battle?
Therefore, when fighting, taking the lead is not necessarily reckless, perhaps the commander is in the front.
As long as you don't really rush to the front line to open the film with people, the danger is actually not too great.
Xu Huizu said, "Then why is this happening?"
Xu Da said: "Because they didn't expect that a thousand households, the most elite cavalry. In a few snaps of a finger, all of them were killed. You pay attention to the time, from the beginning of the war to the time when all the pioneers of Tang Shengzong were killed, how long did it take. Don't look at one person's words, look at everyone's words."
Xu Huizu immediately went to open the letter.
Xu Da said, "Second brother, tell me, why is this happening?"
Xu Yingxu hesitated for a while and said, "I don't know."
Xu Da sighed and said, "Third child, you come here?"
Xu Zengshou said, "It's the firearms in the north that are powerful."
Xu Da said, "Yes, firearms are powerful. You go and get all the firearms you used in the battle."
"Yes." Xu Zengshou agreed and found one from a pile of letters. Inside, there is a detailed configuration of firearms in the Xi army.
I'm sorry, He Xi's command is also the Ming army, how many years Xu Da has been in Beiping, how many people in these places are Xu Da's old department, and besides, He Xi made firearms and let the soldiers practice firearms, which can't be hidden. After all, if you don't have training, you can't fight such a battle.
With so many people in the army, maybe He Xi ordered secrecy and could block the news, but that was also for people. For Xu Da, it is very likely that this letter was written by the person who carried out He Xi's secret military order.
Soon, Xu Zengshou brought all kinds of firearms, mines, grenades, flintlock pistols, and all kinds of supporting things, bayonets, bullet belts, lead blocks used to make bullets, gunpowder bags, etc., which were placed on the table on the side.
Xu Da didn't look at it, and said, "You are all familiar with these things."
The three sons all nodded silently.
The signboard of the Wei Mansion is still very hard, as long as He Xi does not emphasize secrecy, whoever leaks out of the project will die, as long as there is something new, naturally someone will send samples to the Wei Mansion and ask the Wei Mansion to taste, not alone.
The Chinese should not understand this thing too well.
In the Wei Mansion, what others can't think of and can't see, in their opinion, is just something that can be obtained, and at most they send people to pass on the words.
Xu Da said, "Boss, what do you think Ye Shen did when he arranged his troops in the ambush battle?"
