Chapter 125: The winner is hard to say. Wang Jiangjing

No matter how you understand Jiajing's words, it is correct, and no matter how you understand them, it is correct.

Zhou Mengchen's most foolproof approach was to do nothing honestly. But Jiajing was still a little unwilling to accept it. In the 29th year of Jiajing, the Tartars soldiers came to the city. It was a shame for Jiajing for the rest of his life. The more noble he was, the more he cared about face. How could the emperor not care?

Jiajing is the best to save face. This is also why Hai Rui scolded Jiajing so much that Jiajing did not kill Hai Rui in the end.

How could Jiajing not be unwilling to be concerned about the things that day? However, as a mature politician, Jiajing knew what he could do and could not do. Now there is something in the south and internal uneasiness. It is not the time to use military force. But if you clearly ordered Zhou Mengchen not to move around, Jiajing couldn't say it. The so-called secret order would be so vague and comprehensive and appropriate.

Zhou Mengchen felt a little happy. If Jiajing said he was dead in one word, he might not be sure that Zhou Mengchen would send out a soldier, and he would have to be faced by Emperor Jiajing. So he could only let Zhou Mengchen understand it. This is actually good... If Jiajing gave Zhou Mengchen a poem, and a cloud in the blue sky and water in the bottle, I wouldn't know what it means.

Jiajing has a criminal record for such a thing.

This is better. These vague words actually gave Zhou Mengchen the space to operate.

Zhou Mengchen hid his little thoughts in his heart and said to Tengxiang: "What happened to Jiangnan?"

Tengxiang said, "It's hard to explain it now. Zhao Wenhua, who came to the Jiangnan Governor, said that Zhang Jing was defeated, and the generals were defeated. He also called the defeat a victory. What kind of victory was the Wangjiangjing victory. In fact, it was a great defeat. Zhang Jing's efforts to Chen Wangjiangjing were a great victory. In short, both sides held a different opinion, which made the court not know what to say."

"However, in my opinion, Zhao Wenhua is still the one who has the upper hand. Behind him is Ge Lao Yan. Behind Zhang Jing, Ge Lao Xu doesn't seem to agree with him."

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen subconsciously turned to Zhang Jing. Although he had never seen Zhang Jing, he had read Zhang Jing's resume. This old minister served as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. He quelled the rebellion in Guangxi and had connections in Guangxi. Otherwise, the Guangxi wolf soldiers could not be transferred here.

Zhou Mengchen would not think that such an old minister really would not fight.

In fact, Zhou Mengchen had fought too many wars, and found that in ancient times, it was complicated and complicated to say that it was not complicated or complicated. Generally speaking, a civil servant only needed to master the logistics to ensure that the logistics supply and materials could be supplied. There were a few generals who could be trusted and able to fight, and then there were no problems with the grand strategy. Generally speaking, he could win the battle.

Of course, this is also the corresponding war of the Ming Dynasty, which is more of a fight against rebellion or a security war. Large-scale strategic decisive battles have long stopped fighting. Because such a war is no one who can accompany the Mongols.

In my case, not making mistakes means victory. Not making random commands is the best command.

Generally, civil officials may not have this understanding, but civil officials who have really fought wars have this understanding to a greater or lesser extent.

Moreover, although Zhou Mengchen was in Datong in recent years, half of his thoughts were devoted to the imperial court. The other thing was devoted to the Japanese turmoil in Jiangnan. He became more and more familiar with the Japanese turmoil, and he became less and less likely to take the so-called Japanese turmoil seriously. Because first, how many Japanese pirates are there?

Zhou Mengchen took out a decouple of all kinds of information and found something that he couldn't believe but had to believe, that was, if the Japanese pirates were too much, there were not 50,000. In fact, some information seemed that the Japanese pirates had only more than 20,000 people in total. Perhaps there were more people on the sea, but those who came ashore were the only ones.

Therefore, the Japanese turmoil was so big that it was never because of how capable the Japanese pirates were, but because the military and administrative system of Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty was almost completely paralyzed. It was because the Ming Dynasty itself was weak, not because the Japanese pirates were strong. It can be seen from one thing.

Qi Jiguang's Mandarin Duck Formation is very famous, but why did Qi Jiguang not emphasize the Mandarin Duck Formation as soon as he arrived in the north? Is it useless to be the Mandarin Duck Formation? No, even some tactical actions of the armed police can see some tactical principles of the Mandarin Duck Formation.

It is because the battlefields in the north and south are completely different.

When facing Japanese pirates, most of them were scattered soldiers against the enemy. The reason for this is that it is because of the Jiangnan water town, it is difficult to arrange troops. Secondly, there are few Japanese pirates. Facing the Ming Dynasty's large groups of people always flee, and it is difficult to ensure formation in pursuit. Therefore, scattered soldiers against the enemy. When fighting with scattered soldiers, the soldiers in Jiangnan are not as good as Japanese pirate warriors, and at this time the Yuanyang Formation is used.

This also shows one thing. That is, there are few Japanese pirates.

The reason is simple. Military operations are a very serious matter. The road traffic capacity and river traffic capacity in the Jiangnan water town are limited. If the Japanese pirates have an army of 100,000, no, a Japanese pirates have an army of 100,000 or 20,000. Just marching in the same direction, or retreating suddenly, or maneuvering at high speed, they can collapse on the spot.

It is unimaginable that tens of thousands of troops gather without strict military discipline. In the case of strict military discipline, it is even more unimaginable that when fighting against the enemy, scattered soldiers will fight against the enemy.

When analyzing the Japanese pirates' war, Zhou Mengchen concluded that it was that the Japanese pirates were few and elite, fighting in the team. The team Zhou Mengchen mentioned was not a team of more than a dozen people, but a small army of hundreds of people. After all, there were thousands of troops and hundreds of troops who were fighting with Zhou Mengchen's subordinates, and hundreds of troops could indeed be called a team.

It is very good at fighting in small teams. Especially in complex terrain, the ability to quickly move and quickly escape is particularly difficult. There are also so-called Japanese samurai fighting very well. As for more, there are no more. This is also the reason why Zhou Mengchen resolutely wanted to fight a reconciliation battle even though he knew the Japanese turmoil in Jiangnan. Because in his opinion, the battle between the two sides was not the same order of magnitude. If it was reconciliation battle, it would be difficult to fight if it didn't fight now. In fact, the most difficult thing to deal with is not the Japanese pirates themselves. Japanese pirates are just robbers, and they are not difficult to deal with without being separated from the nature of robbers.

What is difficult to deal with are the local forces in Jiangnan, all kinds of entangled interests, and the huge chain of interests at sea and on land. Japanese pirates are the second most recent problem.

Zhang Jing took action himself and instead suffered a big defeat, which was a bit incredible.

Zhou Mengchen said: "Is there a copy of the memorial about this matter?"

Tengxiang said, "Of course there are." Tengxiang then handed several memorials to Zhou Mengchen and said, "I knew that the adults would ask, this was specially asked someone to copy from the capital. They were several memorials with the same words."

Zhou Mengchen thanked him and took it to see it. Sure enough, the statements of the several sides were completely different, very different, and completely different.

In his memorial, Zhao Wenhua wrote about his iron-clad appearance for the people. He said that after he arrived in Jiangnan, he saw Japanese pirates appearing. Zhang Jing held his troops and ignored them, watching the people being killed and killed. He really couldn't stand it anymore, so he supervised the battle many times. However, Zhang Jing ignored it. It was not until the Japanese pirates became bigger that they hurriedly responded to the battle and met Wang Jingjiang and the Japanese pirates. They were defeated. In order to cover up the defeat, they killed the people and rewarded the people's heads.

There were also many gentry from Jiangnan crying, saying that Zhang Jing would not save him when he was dead. The Japanese pirates plundered the place and asked him for help, but Zhang Jing never moved.

Zhou Mengchen looked through it one by one, and it was a list of casualties, even casualties, and even casualties. It was all available, and it did not seem to be fake.

Zhou Mengchen read Zhang Jing's memorial and found that Zhang Jing's statement was the same as Zhao Wenhua's statement. Zhang Jing said that he kept holding his troops and was waiting for the opportunity. Because the Japanese pirates plundered the place, like birds and beasts foraging for food, there was no rule.

He tried several ambushings or rescues, but failed. The rescue areas were all the soldiers who had arrived, and the thieves were far away. Zhang Jing had only a few soldiers, and the total number of soldiers was only 10,000 or 20,000 people. If he was chasing like this, he would have become exhausted soldiers before he could fight with the Japanese pirates. He would easily be taken by the enemy.

Then he discovered that the land of Wangjiangjing was where the Japanese pirates were nested. After the victory, the Japanese pirates always gathered here and then took a boat to sea.

So he calculated the time and waited for the Tartars to return with full force. He immediately launched the troops and divided the troops into different directions. Lu Tong, Yu Dayou, Tang Kekuan and Lady Wa led the way together to encircle Wangjiangjing and fight for a battle. He killed all the enemies, beheaded 1,900 levels, burned countless ships, and so on.

After Zhou Mengchen read all the memorials, he had to make a judgment on who was lying.
