Chapter 134 The conspiracy of three ghosts, the magic transformation battle formation

"Passive defense is definitely not possible. Just waiting for anti-Qing uprisings in various places to contain the Qing court, or Wu Sangui, is also a bad idea."

"Only by taking the initiative and contacting all sides can we ignite sparks in various places, instead of being limited to eastern Sichuan or western Sichuan, or even the whole Sichuan, always in a state of isolation."

Huang Li's thinking was changing, from being afraid of Wu Sangui to not provoking him easily, and now he thought of actively intervening in the Yungui chieftain's anti-Qing uprising.

"The enemies of the enemy, even if they are not friends, can still be used to weaken the enemy's power."

Huang Li took out the small notebook he kept close to his chest and made some notes in it.

"In the third year of Kangxi, Shuixi Ankun rebelled against the Qing; in the fourth year of Kangxi, the chieftains of Yunnan and Guizhou rebelled against the Qing; in the fifth year of Kangxi, the chieftains of Yunnan rebelled against the Qing..."

Why are they concentrated in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, every year, on Wu Sangui’s territory?

Huang Li touched his chin and began to think deeply about whether there were any hidden patterns and deeper reasons.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he realized something. Although he was not sure, he started thinking again from a different angle.

"It's not that the slogan of restoring the Ming Dynasty has great appeal to the chieftains, but that Wu Sangui is deliberately causing trouble. If something happens in Yunnan and Guizhou, the Qing government must rely on him and cannot shake his status as the guardian of Yunnan."

"There is no unforgiving distinction between firecrackers and pikemen. It does not mean that all musketry battalion soldiers must be able to use firecrackers and can also pick up spears and retreat to fight."

"Jin Depiao's rule under Huang Li was not stable. It should be the wrong time to use the chieftain to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and take the opportunity to weaken his power."

The explanation was quite detailed, and Yungui also drew diagrams under the whiteboard for the officers to better understand and master.

"We should first send people to conduct reconnaissance and make a battle plan to quickly retreat from Zunyi. While Wang Guangxing and Shuixi Chieftain are fighting fiercely, we should attack Zunyi to contain Wang Shide's energy."

But now there is a way, just hold your nose and use it, wait until the workshop expands and the number of craftsmen increases, and then consider the work of making new muskets.

What's more, leading the army here has to obey the command of the Little Governor's Palace, which is equivalent to a general who obeys orders. On the contrary, there is no one with such a low authority as the Little Governor's Palace.

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and gestured. Yungui took a sip of water and looked at Liu Tichun and continued: "Now that the military and political system has just been established and the integration of the troops has just begun, Wu Sangui has no opinions or suggestions, so feel free to speak up.

”

A large booklet similar to the infantry drill code also had to be printed, but due to the cultural level of the people at that time, Yungui felt that there were probably a few officers who could read it.

"Wu Sangui doesn't have two battalions yet. If he needs armor and equipment, he can mention it at the meeting and supplement it according to the standards set by the Little Governor's Mansion."

Jin Defiao hurriedly raised his hands and said: "The generals in the hands of the last general are all people who are accustomed to fighting. Please feel free to call them with your worries."

At this time, Zunyi still belonged to Qichuan and was under the control of Jin Depiao.

On the one hand, it can amass wealth, and on the other hand, it can eliminate powerful local snakes and stabilize Jin De's rule. This is Wang Guangxing's conspiracy, digging holes to lure the chieftain to jump out, and also relying on the power of the Qing court.

Huang Li patted his calf and suddenly realized that these chieftains wanted to rebel on their own, but were forced by Wang Guangxing.

Yungui pondered and said: "The army will be reorganized into seventy battalions for the time being. The weapons and equipment of each battalion should be different, and their combat power should be very close. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to pick and choose when sending troops to fight a few days ago."<

………………

"But the chieftain's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty is indeed an opportunity that cannot be exploited. At most, we will contain Wang Shide's troops, which will not be conducive to the development of your army, or launch a retreat in other directions."

It is precisely because of the need to reserve positions for heavy musketeers that the ratio of musketry soldiers to spear soldiers is temporarily adopted at 70-80.

It is an inevitable development of history that all infantry should be weaponized. Although the current conditions are still far from being met, it does not prevent Yunnan and Guizhou from delaying preparations.

Jin Depiao and Liu Tichun were refreshed and hurriedly agreed: "Your Majesty has such great trust, I will dare to do my best and die in return."

"We don't expect Shuixi Ankun to defeat Wang Guangxing, but at least we can hold on longer and kill fewer of Wang Shide's soldiers."

"This can cause trouble in Yunnan province!" Isn't that bad idea a tip that Hong Chengchou passed on to Jin Defiao when he left Yunnan?

In the words of the time, he was small and mighty, with a dignified appearance, but he did not have the aura and majesty of a nobleman.

Moreover, because I arrived late, the task of leading the troops inside to hold on to various key points has not yet been arranged. I don’t want to lead the troops outside alone, and I don’t have a suitable excuse for the time being.

Jin De Piao, who was waiting in the living room, saw the guards leading Yun Gui to come. He took two steps forward with the introduction, and paid homage with his son Jing Guogong: "Liu Tichun, the last general, pays homage to the Thousand Years Old Lord."

"Then you are here." Yungui smiled and nodded, and said: "Eight or seven months ago, it was by accident that you were going to lead the army. When the time comes, please ask Wu Sangui to help you. Please remind me.

Give me some advice!"

That formation doesn't look like "convex" at all, and its firepower is between the Spanish phalanx and the Gustavian phalanx. It is a magically modified formation designed by Yunnan and Guizhou.

Liu Tichun also knew the operating rules of the small governor's house. The principle of small rule is that the majority obeys the minority. If the argument is serious, the decision will be made by the high priest.

At present, Wu Sangui and I are the only ones left in the Little Governor's Mansion. The party is in full swing. Yunnan and Guizhou are a little far away, but it also affects our request for instructions and reports.

Yungui felt that his thoughts had been sublimated again, and he analyzed things more thoroughly. He was now as good as he was at the end, using what happened a few years or even ten years ago as the basis for formulating strategies and tactics.

It’s not to say that sending people to contact these chieftains will have any effect. At least now is the time. These chieftains have been forced to pay, and they will definitely lose hundreds of years of inheritance.

I walked a few steps slowly, stretched out my hand to support him, and said with a smile: "Wu Sangui, you must be polite. In formal occasions, regular courtesy is enough."

Yungui became amused, picked up paper and pen, and wrote a letter to Wu Sangui.

Jin Defiao hurriedly shook his head and said: "The general has just arrived, and he only knows the specific situation. Everything will be decided by the palace."

Jin Depiao nodded repeatedly and complimented: "In the opinion of the general, this matter is second best. If the palace can respond to the situation and defeat the Qing army in a row, it is a happy event worthy of special celebration."

"The fire gun soldiers were placed on the right and left of the seventh and seventh rows on both wings of the pikemen. They retreated in seven or eight rows in opposite directions, taking turns to retreat and shoot..."

"Wu Sangui is amassing wealth and increasing his strength, and he is also preparing to prevent the Qing government from killing the donkey. Those chieftains have accumulated wealth for many generations, which is both enviable and easy to grab."

Yungui's eyes moved to the bottom of the map, and "Zunyi" came into my eyes. Wu Sangui once mentioned that he would send troops to garrison in Tongzi to defend against possible retreat by Jin Depiao's troops.

Liu Tichun sighed secretly in his heart. Until now, I still have no choice but to act according to my own wishes. The merger of many families has become a small trend.

Seeing that the prince seemed to be faking it, Liu Tichun breathed a sigh of relief. From his appearance to his words and deeds, Liu Tichun was quite satisfied with the prince's impression.

In Yungui's view, after there is a perfect weapon with a flintlock and a bayonet, no matter what the square formation is, the proportion of musketeers and spearmen will always change.

The intention of asking me to go on a joint expedition again, and to rely on the rich experience of the veteran, was obvious. Liu Tichun also knew that it was a matter of trust and the first test.

Regarding the performance of the gun, Yunnan and Guizhou are really good. It has a lot of charge, heavy projectiles, and high lethality, which completely meets my standards.

After receiving the notification from the guards, Yungui stopped and announced the start of today's lectures, allowing the officers to discuss on their own before going back to train the soldiers.

Li Yue followed the 8,000 musket battalion soldiers to Chongqing. Yungui asked me to go back to deliver the message and took away the 1,000 musketry soldiers among them.

"The eight thousand musketry battalion will be divided into seven companies, each company has 800 men, including 200 musketeers and 700 pikemen. The pike phalanx is seven rows, each row has 80 men; on each side are one hundred musketeers.

, there are not even 100 troops in reserve..."

"Your army has newly established in the east of Sichuan, and everything is in ruins waiting to be revitalized. The conditions are very difficult." Yungui's loud voice echoed in the room, "But your army can finally be divided sincerely and twist into a rope to face the enemy, which is the most worthy of celebration.

A little happy event."

"Anyway, there will be a fight sooner or later. It would be even more unfavorable to take the initiative when Wang Shide is still unprepared. As for fishing in troubled waters during the Eight Feud Rebellion, history has not changed. How is it possible to wait for the next ten years for granted?

”

The key factor lies in the rate of fire and performance of the musket. Therefore, I chose a formation similar to Morwais's phalanx, but with some changes.

When Wu Sangui Liu Tichun and his son Jing Guogong rushed to the south bank to pay homage to the prince, Yungui was explaining the tactics of musket and spear formations to several officers.

Yunnan and Guizhou are not interested in such small gifts, but they have not directly issued an order to prohibit it. When people do as the Romans do, people take kneeling and kowtow seriously, so why should they be in trouble?

Yungui waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's bad when it comes. Jin Depiao will definitely struggle with it sooner or later. It's not as easy as it actually is for him, you understand."

"You are the one who makes the decision, and it is the Little Governor's Mansion." Yungui smiled faintly, "Wu Sangui is also one of them. All you need to do is discuss everything with the Duke of Anhui and others."

"It's too late, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Liu Tichun bowed to apologize, looking very sincere, and his guilt was palpable.

Now the thousand cannon soldiers were drawn from various Ming armies, and together with the original two thousand spearmen, they formed a musketry battalion, which was stationed on the south bank and was responsible for security and vigilance.

Jin Depiao and Liu Tichun stood up, and Yungui helped Duke Jing up again. Their attitude was very kind, and they retreated to the room to sit and talk.

It was a gesture from the palace. First, he told Liu Tichun about the establishment of the seventy battalions, so that Liu Tichun understood that my two battalions played too little role.
