And after Zhang Yuzhao was shocked, he couldn't help but be angry and funny.

Su Yu actually compared with him strategically and strategically? The battle of Jiujiang will be won nine times out of ten, and you Su Yu actually said that he would be defeated?

How dim-witted?!

He Zhang Yuzhao was Zeng Guofan's confidant, and part of the layout of the Battle of Jiujiang was his handiwork.

Who knows better than him?

Who could be more confident than him?

And what is Su Yu by Zeng Guofan's side? The chicken dog ascended to heaven, the object of everyone's contempt, and he Zhang Yuzhao is completely different from him in terms of Wen Taowu strategy.

In addition to participating in the township examination and the meeting examination, Zhang Yuzhao's more important task in coming to the capital this time was to make a name for himself in the Battle of Jiujiang.

Sushun's side, Zaiyuan's side, and even the emperor have heard it many times.

He is also full of absolute confidence in the battle of Jiujiang, and even grasps it.

The battle of Jiujiang will be won, which is already the consensus of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Zhang Yuzhao has repeated the relevant argument I don't know how many times, but he doesn't mind repeating it again.

"Your Excellency Su Yu, I have a few questions for you."

Su Yu said: "Please! ”

"First question, how does Jiujiang City compare to Wuchang City?"

Su Yu said: "Wuchang City is ten times more important than Jiujiang City, several times larger, the city wall is several times taller and stronger, and it is several times easier to defend and several times difficult to attack. ”

Zhang Yuzhao said: "Wuchang City is bigger, stronger, and more difficult to fight. But it was beaten down by us, Jiujiang City is smaller and weaker, why can't it be defeated. ”

Everyone nodded their heads, and it was almost unanimous.

"This is the first win I said!"

Zhang Yuzhao continued to ask: "Next, let me ask Your Excellency Su Yu the second question, you personally participated in the battle of Tianjiazhen, how many sailors are there in this battle?" How many sailors do I have in the Qing Army? What is the comparison between the total strength of the rebel army and the total strength of our Qing army? ”

Su Yu said: "In the first battle of Tianjiazhen, the Taiping army was about four times that of the Hunan army, and the Taiping army's naval division was ten times more than the Hunan army. At that time, our army had only ten gunboats and some speedboats, while the Taiping army had four hundred warships. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was secretly shocked, all of them did not expect that in the battle of Tianjiazhen, the strength of the two sides was so disparity, in this case, Zeng Guofan actually won, winning more with less, how powerful.

The battle of Tianjiazhen was forced by the emperor to fight, Zeng Guofan really didn't want to fight at that time, and he was completely bottomless in his heart, because the strength of the Taiping army was too strong at that time.

The result was a big victory, and the world was shocked!

Zhang Yuzhao said: "Then what is the result of the battle of Tianjiazhen?" ”

Su Yu said: "The Hunan army has won a complete victory. ”

"It's me who won the Qing Dynasty!" Zhang Yuzhao said: "Then this time in the battle of Jiujiang, our army has 35,000 people, do you know how many people rebelled?" ”

Su Yu said: "About fifteen thousand to seventeen thousand." ”

Zhang Yuzhao said: "Yes, our army is twice as rebellious. Then do you know how many times our army's sailors are rebellious? ”

Su Yu said: "In the battle of Tianjiazhen, the Hunan army captured the main force of the Taiping Army's naval division, and now the main force of the Hunan Army's naval division has nearly 200 long dragons, fast crabs, and light boats, and the Taiping army has lost the main force of the naval army, less than one-third of you. ”

Su Yu kept talking about the Xiangjun, which was a shoddy discordant plan in Zhang Yuzhao's eyes, but he didn't bother to correct it.

His eyes swept over the audience, and finally stared at Su Yu, Zhang Yuzhao sneered: "In the battle of Tianjiazhen, our army only had a quarter of the rebellion, and the navy division was only one-tenth of the opponent, but it won a complete victory. Now that our army is twice as rebel and our sailors are four times as rebellious, do you think you can't win? ”

Everyone present nodded, feeling that this battle would be won, and completely agreed with Zhang Yuzhao's judgment, and Prince Hui and Chongen were no exception.

Even at this time, Emperor Xianfeng felt that the Hunan army would win this battle.

Zhang Yuzhao continued: "This is the second victory I am talking about, and then I will ask the third question. Who was the Wuchang guard that day and what was his official position? And who is the defender who rebelled in Jiujiang today? And what kind of official position? ”

Su Yu said: "Wuchang Shou General Shi Fengkui is the elder brother of the Wing King Shi Dakai, who was named the national emperor by Hong Xiuquan the year before last, and then took charge of the puppet Heavenly Governor's Office. Jiujiang guard Lin Qirong is the right twelve checkpoints of the puppet Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. ”

Zhang Yuzhao said: "Then who has the highest status between Lin Qirong and Shi Fengkui?" Who's famous? ”

Su Yu said: "Naturally, Shi Fengkui is far greater than Lin Qirong. ”

Zhang Yuzhao said: "In this case, we won the Wuchang City that attacked Shi Fengkui that day, and you actually thought that the Jiujiang City guarded by Lin Qirong could not be taken?" That's what I'm talking about as a third win. ”

"From the geographical advantage, to the army, to the sailors, to the generals, all of them are our army's advantage. I won a big victory when I was at a huge disadvantage before, but now I can't win? ”

Then, Zhang Yuzhao took out a map and unfolded it: "Ladies and gentlemen, please see, Tianjia Town is the last barrier of Jiujiang. And Jiujiang City is the largest barrier in the west of the city. ”

He pointed to the Yangzhou area and said, "This is the Jiangbei camp of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Then, he pointed to the east of Nanjing City and said: "This is the Jiangnan camp of the Qing Dynasty. ”

"The north and south of the rebel puppet capital Tianjing have been surrounded, once we take Jiujiang, we can go all the way east along the Yangtze River, first attack Anqing, and then seize the rebel capital Tianjing, and completely exterminate the rebellion."

"Therefore, the battle of Jiujiang is extremely important, and it is related to the fortune of my Qing Dynasty, but the battle of Jiujiang will be won!"

"This is not only my will, but also the will of tens of thousands of soldiers on the front line, but also the will of all the adults in the Manchu Dynasty, and the supreme will of His Majesty the Emperor." Zhang Yuzhao said coldly: "I don't know, Su Yu said that he actually went against the general trend, saying that the battle of Jiujiang would be lost, I don't know what kind of psychology he was for?" Or is it just sensationalism? ”

These words are heart-wrenching, and they want to punish Su to death.

Everyone present also reprimanded, and Prince Hui even wanted to directly order Su Yu to be expelled, so as not to embarrass him again.

Su Yu said: "Zhang Yuzhao, are you finished?" ”

Zhang Yuzhao said: "It's over." ”

Su Yu said: "Then can I say it?" ”

"Please!"

Su Yu said: "First of all, after the victory in the battle of Tianjiazhen, the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan was extremely arrogant and empty-eyed. After a big war, it was supposed to recuperate and replenish the army. After the army is strong, besiege Jiujiang City to encircle and send reinforcements. And you transferred all the troops to attack Jiujiang, and Wuchang City, which was ten times more important, was only defended by 2,000 people, which was the first big mistake. ”

"That's right, Shi Fengkui's status and fame are greater than Lin Qirong. But that was only because he was Shi Dakai's brother, and although Lin Qirong had a lower status, he and Zeng Tianyang had experienced a hundred battles, and they won eight or nine times out of ten. Your pride and complacency have made you lose the correct estimation of the enemy, which is the second great mistake. ”

"Not long ago, there should have been a battle report, the so-called Hukou victory, right?" Su Yu said.

Zhang Yuzhao said: "Your Excellency Su Yu is very well-informed, that's right, not long ago, Zeng Gong led the sailors to win the Hukou victory. Shi Dakai, the rebel puppet king, led a large army to support Jiujiang City, but his sailors were unbearable to fight, and had lost the mouth of the lake, and was leading the remnants to flee to Poyang Lake, and our department had sent General Xiao Jieshan to lead more than 100 warships to rush into Poyang Lake and chase and kill the remnants of Shi Dakai. ”

"Stupid, stupid!!" Su Yu shouted: "This is obviously Shi Dakai's strategy to feint defeat and lure the enemy deeper. Zeng Guofan was dizzy and fooled again. How many times have the Taiping army used the same strategy, and how many times have you been fooled? ”

"The main force of your sailors is indeed strong, with the most advanced Western artillery. You have 200 ships, of which dozens of the main ones are Changlong and Fast Crab warships, these are large warships, and because they have advanced artillery, they are suitable for long-range shelling. In addition, there are more than 100 sampan speedboats, which are good at close combat, and are responsible for escorting the main ships. ”

"Now Shi Dakai has feinted, and at the mouth of Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River, the ship is sunk and blocked, and the earth is filled to block it, so that the big ship can't pass. You were carried away by the so-called victory, and you despised the Rebel Division, leaving large main artillery warships such as Changlong and Kuaicrab in the Yangtze River, and letting more than a hundred sampan speedboats rush into Poyang Lake to chase and kill Shi Dakai. ”

"Shi Dakai not only wants to lure the enemy deeper, but also to disassemble the main force of your sailors, and the only next result is that more than 100 sampan speedboats led by Xiao Jieshan will be wiped out, and then Shi Dakai will lead the sailors to kill from Poyang Lake."

"Because of the huge hull of the main gunboat of your Hunan army, it is inconvenient to move around, and it is impossible to fight in close combat. And after all the more than 100 speedboat sampans led by Xiao Jieshan are annihilated, those large warships in the Yangtze River will lose their protection and will all be wiped out by Shi Dakai's ships, and your sailors will suffer an unprecedented defeat, and you will lose control of the entire Yangtze River. ”

"Then, tens of thousands of people led by Shi Dakai will fiercely enter Hubei, and then the entire Hubei will be exposed to Shi Dakai's troops, and Wuxue, Wuchang, and Hankou will all fall."

"And when the time comes, the main force of the Qing army that surrounds Jiujiang will also become a lone army, and it will also suffer a crushing defeat."

"When Shi Dakai feinted to defeat Hukou, if Zeng Guofan was still sanity, he should not pursue into Poyang Lake, and still sit on the Yangtze River, from the moment he ordered Xiao Jieshan to enter Poyang Lake, the result of defeat was already doomed."

"In this battle, you are making mistakes from beginning to end."

"It's the first mistake to look down on the enemy and look down on everything."

"Eagerly besieging Jiujiang and ignoring the more important defense of Wuchang City is the second biggest mistake."

"Zhongshi Da's plan to lure the enemy deep and let the speedboat sampan troops enter Poyang Lake is the third mistake."

"If you make one of these three mistakes, you will not be defeated. But all three of you have made mistakes, and you will not be defeated. ”

"So this is my judgment, the battle of Jiujiang will be lost, the main force of the Hunan army and the naval division will be destroyed, all the important towns such as Wuchang, Guangji, and Hankou will be lost, and half of Hubei will fall. Everything you got from the previous few victories had to be spit back. ”

Su Yu not only judged that the Hunan army would be defeated, but also clearly explained every detail, every step and reason for the defeat.
