"Lord Jiang, Lord Wang, let's talk about Li Zicheng first. General Zhou Yuji is really amazing, with the strength of one person with six or seven thousand soldiers, he killed Li Zicheng 70,000 horses in six days, what do you think Li Zicheng will feel? ”

"I must be scared!"

"Not bad! General Zhou Yuji killed so many of his people with only a few thousand soldiers and horses, and there were more than 100,000 border troops in the imperial court in the north? Does this Li Zicheng still want to find trouble? I don't dare to kill him, I guess the current Li Zicheng is probably discussing with his subordinates how to prevent the imperial court army from attacking them, so although Li Zicheng has an army of nearly one million, he doesn't dare to stab us, a hornet's nest where there are few hornets, he is afraid of being stung! ”

Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan laughed when they heard it, the governor's description is too vivid, isn't the current imperial court a hornet's nest without a few hornets? On the surface, it still looks like a behemoth, but in fact, a gust of wind can blow it down.

"To the east, Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui's men and horses will continue to be transferred into the pass, and I will not hide it from the two adults, and I will also discuss it with the emperor. Wu Sangui's tens of thousands of people could only guard the city of Ningyuan, and the surrounding area could not be controlled at all, so there was no point in it. Why did Wu Sangui enter the customs? It was the imperial court that transferred them to King Qin, and Jianyu knew it clearly. Let's put it this way, according to my speculation, there are more than one or two groups of Jiankou spies in the capital, and I am afraid that many officials have become their friends, and we can't hide anything from them. Of course, I don't mean that some officials have defected, but that many officials are not vigilant and regard the spies of Jianyu as good people. ”

Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan both nodded, isn't that so? As soon as the army of the imperial court went to fight Li Zicheng, it was about to destroy Li Zicheng, and the prisoners were blocked, and you had to go back to defense, the result was that Li Zicheng had resurged.

"If Wu Sangui retreats to Shanhaiguan, what will happen to Ning Yuan? Jianyu must be occupied quickly, Li Zicheng did not call, if the imperial court ordered Wu Sangui to recover Ningyuan, what would Jianyu do? ”

Wang Jiayan was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I will definitely think of holding Ningyuan, and maybe I will also want to use the opportunity to destroy the army of our dynasty." ”

Zhang Ping nodded, "Lord Wang really has military literacy, so we will take advantage of Jianyu's heart, and ask Wu Sangui to straighten out the soldiers and horses, hoard grain and grass, and tie Jianyu to Ningyuan, as long as they don't enter the blockade, we will buy time." ”

Jiang Dejing finally understood, "The strategy of the governor and the emperor is really high. ”

Wang Jiayan glanced at Jiang Dejing with a smile, I said Jiang Dejing Master Jiang, does the emperor have this strategy? You are also an old minister, you don't know what the emperor is like? This is all thought up by the Governor, okay?

"To the south, Lord Shi Kefa Shi has come to the capital with his troops, General Huang Degong is a fierce general like General Zhou Yuji, and he went to find Lord Shi after receiving the order of King Qin, and now the two of them are in a joint position and are hurrying over. Although General Ma Dai has little qualifications, he is also a fierce general, and transferring General Ma Dai to clear the Cao Yun is also a move to discuss with the emperor, and General Ma Dai and Lord Shi will hand over the emperor's secret decree to Lord Shi after they meet. The arrangement is like this, General Huang Degong divided his troops to sweep away the Liukou in the southeast of Lu and western Henan, marched westward, and forced the Liukou to compress and retreat westward, while General Zhou Yuji led the troops to attack Li Zicheng's troops in the south, and after the Baoding Houjun commanded Liu Zhongsi to take over Ma Dai's Baoding army, he would make an attack posture at Bauhinia Pass and Reverse Ma Pass, and the imperial court ordered Zuo Liangyu to divide his troops to press Henan, no matter how big Zuo Liangyu's actions were, is it true? Or deal with it, the imperial court will form a multi-faceted oppression of Li Zicheng's troops, so that Li Zicheng can not but shrink the defense line to seek self-protection. Didn't the emperor order Lord Jiang to go to the south to collect sweet potatoes and potato seedlings? At this time, it is time for Lord Jiang to play a big role and promote planting in the recovered disaster areas, and in a few months the people will have something to eat, and the Liukou will probably have no market in the central and eastern parts of Henan, Shandong, and Anhui, so that the situation will be initially stabilized. ”

Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan immediately gave a thumbs up when they heard this, I'll wipe it! The Governor is strategizing! Are we still worried about the hurry? Alas! The two of us have lived for more than 30 years, so why don't we have this pattern?

"The emperor's secret decree to Lord Shi ordered Lord Shi to lead troops to arrest Liu Qingze, the general of Shandong, and then bring Shandong's soldiers and horses to the capital and incorporate them into the Beijing camp, so that the capital will not be empty."

When Wang Jiayan heard this, he felt that in this way, the overall situation suddenly came to life, "Dudu, you are really clever!" Zhuge Liang is no more than Erer alive. ”

"Where! This is all the emperor's strategy. ”

The two of them laughed when they heard what Zhang Ping said, the emperor? If the emperor has such a strategy, can he be mixed like this?

"Next, it's time to talk about the next way to break the game, two adults, should we have a bowl?"

Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan immediately picked up their wine when they heard this, "Drink!" Done! ”

Grandma! Today is the heart is never brighter, drunk to drink.

"Qinglian, let's take another sip?"

Liu Qinglian's face flushed, Xianggong, you drink with the two adults, leave me alone, why do you keep drinking with me? You're not afraid that two adults will laugh at you? "Xianggong, the slave family doesn't drink anymore."

Dou Meiyi saw that Zhang Ping was going to drink with Liu Qinglian again, and her heart was sour, master, what is so good about Liu Qinglian? Why are you so nice to her? Liu Qinglian, this slut, don't be ignorant, the father-in-law drinks with you, why are you still holding it up, and you are still a lady like this? Something that can't be on the countertop.

Wang Jiayan picked up the wine, "Mrs. Dudu, come, the lower officials also respect you, let's finish drinking it quickly, and we have to listen to the Dudu." ”

Jiang Dejing laughed, Wang Jiayan is really impatient, since Wang Jiayan has brought the wine, I will also serve it, don't let people laugh at me for relying on the old and selling the old and not knowing the etiquette.

Liu Qinglian had no choice but to finish drinking.

"Well, I'll go on, what do we do next? I also discussed with the emperor about this, first do Jianyu, eliminate some of his men, they are a small nation, there are not many people, and they can gather 100,000 soldiers and horses when they are full, and we will find a way to kill him 30,000 or 40,000, do you think he still dares to enter the fortress? ”

"However, we can't help but admit that the gap between our army and the army of Jianju is too big, everyone is cavalry, what we lack is cavalry, how can the infantry fight with the cavalry? If you want to hit someone, they can run faster than you, you can't hit someone, and if someone wants to beat you, they can trample you to death with a horse team, so we have to find a way, we have to use tactics and asymmetrical strikes to defeat Jianyu. ”

Wang Jiayan and Jiang Dejing were both stunned, and Wang Jiayan asked: "Governor, what is an asymmetric strike?" ”

This is the tactic of later generations, Zhang Ping looked at Wang Jiayan with a smile, "For example, if people are lined up, you are also lined up, and the two sides charge and fight, this is called symmetrical combat." Isn't the Jianyu cavalry powerful? If we don't meet him face to face, we bombard him with artillery when we are far away, and when we are close to each other, our soldiers hit him with flintlock pistols and tell him to be in a hurry, and they don't have what we have, then this is called an asymmetrical strike, and in a nutshell, it means using our superior methods to destroy the enemy. ”

Wang Jiayan suddenly realized, "The lower officials understand, no wonder the governor wants to send someone to find Bi Maokang?" ”

"By the way, the reason why the governor of Bendu was able to defeat Li Zicheng in Shanxi and save Zhou Yuji was that the governor of Bendu had a super artillery in his hand, and he directly bombed Li Zicheng's people and had to run, do you think, if our soldiers have a gun in their hands, and they will directly kill Jianyu far away, can Jianyu still be arrogant?"

Wang Jiayan was happy, and picked up the wine, everyone, I don't respect you first, I want to drink a bowl by myself.

"In addition, I also have a secret weapon called a grenade, which is also used by individual soldiers, and in two days, my brothers who stayed in Shanxi will come, and I have taught them, and they are already familiar with it, and after they arrived, artillery and grenades began to be manufactured in large quantities."

"What is a grenade? It sounds like a soldier's belongings. Jiang Dejing asked.

Zhang Ping replied: "The hand willow bullet is a bomb that is lit and thrown at the enemy, the biggest feature is that it can explode, it can be exploded into dozens of small shrapnel and fly to all sides, especially suitable for close combat, if dozens of people throw grenades at the same time, I estimate that the Jianyu will regret entering the plug, artillery, flintlock pistol and grenades, is it still difficult to kill 350,000 people?" ”

Wang Jiayan and Jiang Dejing were immediately stunned by what Zhang Ping said, my mother! How did the Governor come up with this?

Zhang Ping smiled, "These are all small styles, not worth mentioning, I have discussed with the emperor, our strategy and tactics are to stabilize Li Zicheng in the south first, use the time difference to eliminate a part of Jianyu first, let them be honest for two or three years, use this time to destroy Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, appease the victims, let the people settle down, and then wave the army to Liaodong, not only to get back the land we lost, but also to completely eliminate the nobles and troops of Jianyu, and then garrison troops in that place and set up an official palace, Where are our missionaries sent to promote our faith, culture, writing, and living habits, so that Jianyu can no longer have such an ugly head shape, and through one generation, the descendants of Jianyu will forget their own language and writing, and they will all speak Chinese and write Chinese characters. ”

Dig the groove! This idea is far beyond the cognition of Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan, can things still be done like this? If the two of them think about it carefully, they can really do this, if this is really the case, they will eliminate the root cause of the war in Liaodong from the root, they are all the same people, what kind of war are they fighting?

If you don't accept it, you can't do it! Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan stood up directly and bowed, "Governor, in the future, the two of us will only look forward to you." ”

Zhang Ping waved his hand, "Wrong, wrong, we all look forward to the emperor's horse." ”

"That's right! Right! Right! We all follow the emperor closely to do great things. ”

"Pour the wine, and we'll have another bowl."

By this time, the wine will taste good.

Wipe! What you want to do, I insist that the emperor said it, and the credit is still credited to the emperor's head, and the courtiers must have this awareness, put down the bowl, Zhang Ping said: "What about below? I began to convey the emperor's will and arrange for the two adults to live. ”

"Please!" , Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan all stood up.

Zhang Ping pressed down with both hands and made a gesture, "Sit!" Sit! Sit! I said to the two of you that in order to realize this plan, the first condition is that we must build a large number of advanced weapons, and we must be fast! It is necessary to rush ahead of Jianyu's desire to enter the fortress, so the emperor is ready to set up an industrial manufacturing bureau, and the emperor has already told Lord Jiang last night. ”

"But how can you rely on just one Master Jiang? Therefore, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry must go all out to cooperate with Lord Jiang, oh! By the way, the emperor has decided to establish the Daming Academy of Sciences, and Lord Jiang is already the president of the Daming Academy of Sciences, and the level is the same as that of the first assistant of the cabinet. ”

"Lord Wang, what do you have the most in the military department? There are the most people, so a major task at present is to follow the arrangement of Lord Jiang and send people to summon all the skilled craftsmen who are good at manufacturing in the vicinity and even further away to the capital. ”

Wang Jiayan stood up, "Please rest assured!" Please rest assured! ”

Zhang Ping smiled, "I'll wipe it!" Lord Wang, you can't talk like this in the future, please rest assured that it's true, you know? I tell you, if the people in Dongchang hear it, it will be a problem. ”

Wang Jiayan was taken aback when he heard this, "Governor, you don't have anyone from Dongchang here, right?" ”

Zhang Ping smiled, "Don't be afraid, Lord Wang, the people in Dongchang have asked Wang Chengen to arrange to do other things, there are no people from Dongchang here, Wang Chengen dares to arrange eyeliner here with me, tomorrow I will ask him to report to the vegetable market, don't look at him who has served the emperor for more than 20 years!" Hey! Don't hide it from the two of you, when my 600 brothers arrived, I will take over Dongchang and set up an intelligence bureau to specifically target Jianyu and Li Zicheng, and what does it mean to supervise my own people? My real position now is the Governor of the Intelligence Bureau, and this Governor of the Left Capital of the Chinese Army is a gift, not a real errand, and you don't have to worry about being watched and listened to in the future. I also told you, this intelligence bureau is a secret unit, and it is about to launch an operation against Jianyu and Liukou, you two are not outsiders, so I dare to say to you, don't say it outside, if Jianyu and Li Zicheng knew that there was such a unit in the imperial court, the errands of my brothers would not be easy to do, and the chance of losing their heads would be multiplied. ”
