Chapter 474 Sincere Cooperation

Chapter 474: Sincere Cooperation

Yang Longshan kept talking, with only one theme, which was to look for opportunities head-on and defeat the main force of the Junggar people.

This is also in line with Ning Huanxiang's view, so during Yang Longshan's narration, Ning Huanxiang affirmed a few words and added some opinions.

Zhu Jinghong naturally agrees with their ideas, because it is true that the Junggar people are the source of the problem.

The two of them reached an agreement, and Wang Ziteng knew that his idea was impossible, but he himself was not much disappointed, because Yang Longshan's view did make sense.

As generals, they have only one purpose, which is to win the battle for the emperor. As long as they can win, they will get support.

After confirming his idea, Ning Huanxiang asked the foreign generals to leave, leaving only the guards, Jingying, Dusi and Xingdusi.

These talents are truly our own people. Next, we have to discuss specific combat plans, and only these people can participate in it.

Of course, this is just participation. Generally speaking, generals at the Wei level are not qualified to speak at this time.

"The Junggar people are cunning and insist on entangled and confrontation with us, but they are always unwilling to fight a decisive battle with our army. Their intention is to bring us down"

"They can afford it, we But that’s not necessarily the case, so we have to take the initiative to attack."

Seeing everyone listening attentively, Ning Huanxiang continued, "What I mean is that all cavalry units should gather together and divide into two units to advance forward in turn. , take care of each other before and after and support each other in the event of an attack."

His meaning is very clear, that is, take the initiative to advance forward and compress the strategic space of the Junggar people, so that they can force the opponent to fight decisively.

The plan sounds good, but it also faces various problems, and these are the areas that need to be improved.

For example, the biggest problem is how to ensure the logistics when the army goes deep

It is meaningless to go too close, and it will lengthen the supply line if it goes too far. How to ensure the safety of the food and grass line becomes important content for discussion.

The final result of the discussion was that the Beijing Infantry and Gansu Dusi, plus the guards and pro-army, were responsible for logistics, and the rest of the cavalry were sent to the front line.

Of course, this is a relatively general arrangement, and the specific operation needs to be broken down, but that is the next thing.

However, after hearing this discussion, the two commanders of the Beijing Infantry Army and several people guarding the pro-army were very dissatisfied.

Especially Jiang Qingsheng and others, they were sent to the northwest in order to test the new army's tactics, but now they are assigned to the logistics department to test nothing.

Don't stay on the second line. It is impossible to obtain the so-called military merits. You can only pick up the leftovers from behind.

"Governor, your Excellency, I have come here under the orders of the Emperor to quell the rebellion, and secondly to test the new army's tactics. Now Your Excellency, you are placing us in the rear. I am afraid that this will not be in line with His Majesty's wishes." Jiang Qingsheng stood up and said .

Jiang Qingsheng also came from a noble family, but now he has been reduced to the first level.He is a man, but as the commander of the guards and troops, he still speaks with confidence.

Of course, the biggest confidence he dared to question Ning Huanxiang directly came from Zhu Jinghong.

As the leader of the training of the Northern Fourth Guards, Zhu Jinghong had too much expectations for this new army. In order to witness the Northern Fourth Guards killing all directions with his own eyes, he even jumped into the lake to show his ambition.

Under such strong feelings, Jiang Qingsheng and others can be sure that Zhu Jinghong will never sit back and watch the Northern Four Guards being treated coldly.

"Commander Jiang is also acting according to orders, and everything is focused on the overall situation of suppressing the rebellion."

Ning Huanxiang looked grim. He knew that Jiang Qingsheng and others relied on him. As the coach, He will never be intimidated by this.

In order to maintain his dignity, Ning Huanxiang spoke in an extremely harsh tone.

When commanding a battle, it is most taboo to send orders to many places, so Ning Huanxiang must strictly prevent this.

So even if Zhu Jinghong speaks in person, he will not worry too much. He clearly distinguishes between public and private matters.

As the main force of the Beijing camp, Ning Huanxiang arranged to protect the logistics. The two commanders of the Beijing camp were also very aggrieved.

But now that Jiang Qingsheng has been criticized, they can only hold back their words.

"Uh-huh"

The sound coming from the scene made Ning Huanxiang immediately nervous. What he was most worried about happened.

"Thirteenth Master, do you have any advice?" Ning Huanxiang asked with a smile on his face.

Seeing Zhu Jinghong want to speak, Jiang Qingsheng and others felt relieved, feeling that they had forgotten to get rid of the logistics post.

"Governor Ning, I think your view is right. The Junggar people are indeed a serious danger and they should be defeated first. In this way, the situation in the northwest will naturally be controllable."

Zhu Jinghong said as soon as he opened his mouth Agreed, whoever made Ning Huanxiang feel at ease a lot, he was afraid that this man would dismantle him in public, in which case his majesty as the governor would be ruined.

However, Zhu Jinghong changed the topic and said, "I just have a little opinion, and I hope Governor Ning will consider it."

Realizing that Zhu Jinghong might have different views, Ning Huanxiang suddenly became alert and only Seeing him smiling, he said, "The Thirteenth Master has an opinion, and I should listen attentively. If it is helpful, I should adopt it."

This in turn means that if it is useless, it is nonsense, and is it useful? It’s up to him, Ning Huanxiang, to decide.

"The Dzungars are dominated by cavalry, but I don't think our army has to use cavalry to resist them."

If cavalry is not used to fight cavalry, it is difficult to use infantry to fight it, and it is not whether it can be defeated. If you win, you can't even outrun others

Thinking of this, Ning Huanxiang has decided in his heart that Zhu Jinghong's opinion is worthless, and he only needs to refute it.

"Thirteenth Master, our army now has a large number of cavalry. If we don't use them to resist, we can't use infantry."

"Isn't this just sacrificing strength and using weakness, which is a waste of martial arts?" ”

Although there is only one cavalry guard in the Beijing camp, most of the troops from the chieftains of various tribes and alliances plus the Xingdusi are cavalry, and the strength of the cavalry isThey are no weaker than the Dzungars.

So using cavalry against cavalry is indeed an upright way of fighting. Even Jiang Qingsheng and others cannot directly refute it, and can only use the so-called holy will to suppress Ning Huanxiang.

"Governor Ning, please listen to me first," Zhu Jinghong replied calmly.

He did not follow the rules of procedure at all. Normally, he should answer Ning Huanxiang's question before he could continue.

Although Ning Huanxiang was dissatisfied with this, he had no choice but to say, "Thirteenth Master, please speak."

"I want to fight. Although the enemy has high barriers and deep ditches, he has no choice but to fight with me." I'm afraid you all know better than me the truth of this saying: "A warrior must attack what he's fighting to save." Zhu Jinghong said calmly and calmly.

Not to mention, this sentence is quoted very appropriately. It was Sun Tzu who proposed this theory. It was originally based on the strategy used by the two sides to find a breakthrough when the war between the two sides was at a stalemate.

"Governor Ning knows where the enemy must be rescued."

"Please give me some advice from the Thirteenth Master." Ning Huanxiang was humble on the surface, but in fact he didn't take it seriously.

"We are worried about the transshipment of grain and grass, and so are the Junggar people. We rely on Yumen Pass, but they rely on Hami City."

"They dare not attack Yumen Pass, but we can Direct attack on Hami City"

As an important eastern town of Junggar, Hami City is indeed high-walled and deep. It stores a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance, and uses this as the core to supply all Junggar armies.

So Hami City is indeed a place that Junggar must save.

"The Thirteenth Master knows that Hami City is nearly a thousand miles away from Yumen Pass." Ning Huanxiang already wanted to laugh at this moment.

Running thousands of miles away to attack a strong city like Hami, Ning Huanxiang admired Zhu Jinghong's imagination. Normal people would not have such outrageous ideas.

"Although it is a thousand miles away, if we march on foot, even if we travel forty miles a day, one month is always enough." With enough food and grass for two months, and with cavalry cruising around, we can rush to Hami safely."

Zhu Jinghong's opinion was completely contrary to Ning Huanxiang's.

The former uses cavalry to assist infantry, while the latter uses infantry to assist cavalry.

Objectively speaking, Zhu Jinghong's idea of ​​traveling thousands of miles to attack the city seemed too outrageous, so Ning Huanxiang had no intention of asking any more questions.

"Thirteenth Master, war is not about riding horses and going out to attack a city thousands of miles away. Not to mention the long expedition of our army, the enemy's soldiers are well-fed and ready to work. How can our army defeat the enemy quickly?"

p>

"Traveling thousands of miles away, it will be difficult to supply food and grass. Once the army cannot attack for a long time, the morale of the army will be chaotic, and destruction will not be far away."

At this point, Ning Huanxiang stood up and saluted and said, "Please also invite Thirteen Please remember the teachings of the Holy Spirit and do not act willfully."

In order to prevent Zhu Jinghong from intervening, Ning Huanxiang could only use his trump card.

"I just suggested that Governor Ning don't need to think too much," Zhu Jinghong added, and then he didn't say more.

Zhu Jinghong was so understanding that Ning Huanxiang felt at ease again, so he continued to explain his views.

It can be heard that Ning Huanxiang is well prepared. The so-called use of cavalry for the main attack also includes various considerations, which sounds very feasible.

After some narration, Ning Huanxiang glanced at Bei Siwei and others, and said solemnly, "As long as you participate in this battle, you will all contribute to the Ming Dynasty. When the day comes, you will report victory and triumph." , I will repay everyone's merits."

"But if anyone has second thoughts, executes military orders and shirks, I will punish him severely."

"You all understand. "

These last few sentences are a warning to everyone. Ning Huanxiang is ready to kill to establish his authority.

"I will obey your orders," everyone replied.

Next, there is a more specific combat deployment, who will be mobilized to that position, and who will undertake what tasks.

Everyone issued military orders, but Zhu Jinghong remained silent from beginning to end.

In a meeting like this, Ning Huanxiang wanted to demonstrate his authority. There was really no need for him to confront him head-on. He could just come down and continue to explain and persuade.

About half an hour later, all combat arrangements have been agreed upon, and this discussion has come to an end.

Everyone stood up and left. Zhu Jinghong was about to leave, but he was stopped by Ning Huanxiang.

"You go first, I have something to say with the Thirteenth Master," Ning Huanxiang said to everyone.

So everyone left, leaving only Zhu Jinghong and Ning Huanxiang.

"Thirteenth Master, those members of the Northern Four Guards may be unwilling to accept it, and I am afraid that something will happen."

All other generals, even those from the Beijing Camp, Ning Huan Xiangdu was confident that he could keep it under control. After all, he had also served as the chief military officer of the Beijing camp.

But he was the only one who lacked the experience of being a bodyguard and a member of the army. He, Ning Huanxiang, was powerless against these close ministers of the emperor.

They are indeed fighting under orders, but now they are placed on the second line. Even if this lawsuit goes to the imperial court, the four northern guards will still have something to say.

If he wanted to make these people obedient, Ning Huanxiang thought of Zhu Jinghong. He knew that this man could control that group of people.

"The military order has been issued, why should they be unwilling to let the governor worry too much?" Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.

If the generals can be obeyed by military orders alone, then it will not be difficult to lead the troops to fight.

"Thirteenth Master, if they are unwilling, it will not be helpful to the war situation. I cannot ignore this matter."

"If they miss the battle because of this, they will betray the trust of the Holy One." , I will die to atone for my sins."

Stopping and looking at Ning Huanxiang beside him, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but said, "Okay, okay, just say it straight away, why bother talking about it? Go away."

Ning Huanxiang squeezed out a smile, and then said, "You have a lot of dealings with them, if you can give words of advice, I think you can persuade them."

Turn away , Zhu Jinghong said slowly, "That's not necessarily the case."

NingHuanxiang boasted, "With the reputation of the Thirteenth Master, how dare they make mistakes?"

"Then let me try." Zhu Jinghong gradually changed his tone.

"Thank you Thirteenth Master"

Even if this matter was discussed, Zhu Jinghong gained a little gratitude, although it was basically useless.

After parting ways with Ning Huanxiang, Zhu Jinghong returned to the camp and saw the pro-army and Beijing camp generals there, apparently waiting for Zhu Jinghong to return.

When I thought of telling him, Zhu Jinghong was very happy, which offset some of the unhappiness he felt during the discussion.

"Meet the Thirteenth Master" Everyone came to Zhu Jinghong and saluted.

After signaling everyone to get up, Zhu Jinghong asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Thirteenth Master, I have something to say."

" Go into the tent and talk."

Although it is July, it is already freezing outside, so naturally it is much warmer inside the tent.

After entering the tent, Zhu Jinghong motioned for everyone to sit down, and then asked people to make tea for them.

"Thirteenth Master, what you just said about running for a thousand miles is really feasible"

Zhu Jinghong replied, "running for a thousand miles is said to be an attack, but in fact it can also be said to be a strategy to lure the enemy"

p>

"Think about it, if they attack with a partial force, it will be difficult to achieve success, but if their main force attacks, we can fight a decisive battle in advance."

"You think what I said makes sense."

At least it was not entirely unreasonable, so everyone nodded one after another, waiting for Zhu Jinghong to continue.

Zhu Jinghong went on to say, "If we use cavalry to transport food and grass, it will not be difficult to transport enough supplies for two months. So the next key question is, can we defeat Hami City in the remaining month?" Shoot them down."

"You four guards plus two guards from the Beijing camp have at least 500 artillery pieces. It is enough to plow the city of Hami with 20,000 to 30,000 rounds of artillery shells."

Tens of thousands of artillery shells were all smashed into Hami City. This dismissal shocked everyone, and in the end they just lamented that their own situation was too small.

How did they know that this tactic would have a well-known name in later generations, which is called "If you reach it, I will blow it up."

"Even if 20,000 to 30,000 are not enough, then bring more. The Ministry of Industry and the War Bureau are working hard to build it, and we are not short of such labor."

Of course there is no shortage of things like cannonballs, but the key is that these things cost money, and Emperor Zhu Xianming preferred to save money.

After what he said, the attack on Hami became even more exciting, which made everyone even more itchy.

If you can make a contribution yourself, and make such a great contribution, who would be willing to do it for others.

While everyone was thinking, Zhu Jinghong changed the topic and said, "Well, these are all my wishful thinking. It is not easy to implement things according to this. Just listen to it."

"We are all serving the imperial court and the Holy One. No one should be close to each other, let alone internal or external." resentfulIn the last sentence, Zhu Jinghong was extremely serious and his attitude of admonishment was sufficient.

But he knew that these dissatisfactions stemmed from their own interests. As long as they If they can't make achievements, then this kind of mentality will be difficult to disappear.

What Zhu Jinghong wants is not for them to be good children, but to arouse their emotions when necessary and achieve what they are "forced" to command. Purpose.

So next, he only needs to wait for the opportunity.

Once the battle progresses slowly, it will be time for him to perform. >And Zhu Jinghong is confident that that day will definitely come.

Even if he doesn't come, he must come if he creates the opportunity, otherwise he will just come to see the fun.

It's up to him. As everyone expressed their opinions one by one, Zhu Jinghong finally felt at ease, and then he asked everyone to leave. These people have to go back to the headquarters to lead the troops. Please remember to collect it. The latest and fastest free anti-theft book can be added to the qq group 952868558
