The thirty-sixth scholar sits and talks about Anbian affairs (3)
Bai Yijie said: "In view of this, I discussed with the governor that a unit can be set up specifically for using firearms to defend the city and to suppress the formation. Although the organization of the firearms team was convenient and flexible in the past, there were too few firearms and limited deterrence. Now, at least 300 or 500 people were formed, and the name was the "Shenji Camp". It is dedicated to manipulating muskets and cannons. When it comes out, it suppresses the formation. When it comes in, it defends the city and the base."
The name of the Divine Machine Camp comes entirely from Zheng Yunming's own idea. The Shenji Camp in another time and space actually comes from the divine machine guns and cannons widely used by the Central Plains army. Some people also record that this type of divine machine gun was introduced from Annan to the Central Plains. I won't verify the truth or falsehood of this statement. But Zheng Yunming really needs an unpredictable weapon to help him fight against the unrivaled Iron Cavalry Group in the world.
Only then did Zheng Yunming realize that Wang Deng, the Zhenwu Army who was always fond of military affairs, had never said a word when he was always interested in military affairs.
"Why did you stop talking when you really want to talk?" Zheng Yunming said loudly: "Jing Song, tell me your opinions!"
Wang Deng closed his eyes and said nothing, but in fact he heard everyone's comments without missing a word. At this time, he heard the call of the general, and then slowly sat up, walked forward a few steps, and sat in front of Zheng Yunming.
"Although the firearms are sharp, they cannot be used to face the enemy alone." He quickly arranged more than 20 earth puppets in front of him into three neat rows, showing them to Zheng Yunming: "In Wang Deng's opinion, the most powerful tactic of firearms at present is to combine the firearms with strong bows and crossbows, and under the protection of the spear and halberd, fire the enemy in turn."
"I discussed with my subordinates and created a new formation, with archers and crossbowmen in the first row, musketmen and general bamboo in the second row, musketmen and archers in the second row, muskets and archers mixed in the third row. Whenever we are against the enemy, the crossbows will shoot first to dampen the enemy's spirit. If the enemy does not retreat, the front team will retreat to the back row, and the second row of guns and cannons will be fired together to deter the enemy. If the enemy does not retreat, the second row will retreat and the third row will continue to shoot. This cycle will be repeated until the enemy collapses."
"Triple-split formation?" Zheng Yunming blurted out: "Zhenwu Army...Zhenwu Triple-split formation?"
"That's right." Wang Deng continued excitedly: "This method is to imitate the Triassic Formation of the Xin'an County Prince (Wu Lin) in the past. However, the King of Wu created the Triassic Formation to stop the Jin cavalry from rushing. My Triassic Formation was to maximize the shooting advantages of bows, crossbows and muskets. Although the formations are similar, their uses are different."
"But the new formation always requires long-term practice and can only be used on the battlefield after being proficient."
Zheng Yunming waved his hand: "Let go and do it. Now there are still a few months left before autumn prevention. Seize this opportunity to practice the Triassic Formation, which will definitely play a huge role when autumn comes."
Wang Dengyingnuo immediately asked, "The governor must have thought of many ideas to promote the power of firearms these days. Why not take this opportunity to tell the generals?"
After he said this, everyone focused their eyes on Zheng Yunming again.
Zheng Yunming smiled and shook his head: "I really didn't think about it this time. Let me think about it for a while. When the time is right, I will naturally tell my tactics."
Ge Huai shouted loudly: "There is not much time to waste before the Tartars come next time! If you have any tricks, you might as well tell me earlier. Everyone can practice well and go and entertain the Hu people."
"Don't force the governor too tightly." Bai Yijie slowly shook the feather fan: "Everyone knows that the governor always has magical ideas. After he thinks it well, he will naturally come up with results that will amaze everyone, just like the past year."
Zheng Yunming put on a serious face, "I want to explain this point. The country cannot rely solely on one person. Even if this person is the supreme emperor and has the kindness of Yao and Shun, Jinghu cannot rely solely on one person. Even if this person has many wonderful ideas, it can bring you more new technologies and ideas. It is very dangerous to tie the future of thousands of people to one person. I am also a mortal. I will make mistakes and make unclear judgments. I may also have times when I cannot control the situation. At that time, I need the strength of everyone here. Zheng Yunming, who is alone, has no mysterious tactics and techniques. Only when everyone combines wisdom in one place can he be the strongest Jing-E army in Jinghu."
Before everyone could meet the promise, a strange voice in the next first voice said loudly: "What the governor said is very much! What is needed to guard Jinghu Lake is the concerted effort of 200,000 people. Even a ten thousand enemy like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei cannot defeat the million-strong Hu alone!"
Zheng Yunming was slightly stunned. He saw that the young man with thin eyebrows and eyes sitting in the lower head was not his general, nor had he ever met him. How did he get involved among the generals of Jinge?
Bai Yijie leaned closer to Zheng Yunming and whispered: "This is a small school sent by Hu Xian and Hu in the morning. He is a person with a different background. This time I summoned me to let him follow everyone to listen to the views of the governor, so that he can see the demeanor of my Jing-E army."
Zheng Yunming explained his doubts and told everyone to tell me what they saw and heard. The generals then talked about some interesting things in their work. Wang Deng found that the captured Mongolian war horses used by the cavalry of the main unit had been castrated and had their noses, which were much more meek and tame than those used by the Selected Feng and the Tabai Army, which purchased from Qinlong without castration. Xiang Anguo talked about the customs of Jinghu North Road. The family usually had two men and one woman. If they gave birth to an extra girl, they would be put into cold water and drowned. Deng Fangze said that he recently met a descendant of an old general of the Yue Family Army, and told him how the Yue Family Army used his mazakui to bravely defeat the Tiefutu of the Jin army. He was going to select a group of strong warriors and re-adopted this ancient method.
Everyone had a great time talking to each other, and they did not disperse until the sun sets westward.
Zheng Yunming found that the young officer sent by Hu Xian had been waiting aside and did not leave with the generals. He nodded and ordered someone to take him into the side hall to wait.
After a while, Zheng Yunming brought Bai Yijie and Yang Shu to push the door in. Zheng Xian lit the candle, and everyone sat down around a round table.
Yang Xuan said: "Does the president know who this brother is from?"
Zheng Yunming looked up and down at the young man sitting opposite him and said, "If I guess correctly, this guy should be a close confidant under Chen Zhongshun, Qizhou."
The young general stood up and bowed and said, "The governor has good eyesight. He is the subordinate of Leader Chen. Now he has served in the official army with the leader. The surname is Chen Jiao. Now the subordinate of the commander Hu is the chief minister.
After hearing these words, Zheng Yunming roughly understood the origin of the matter: Earlier, Hu Xian wrote a letter to recruit Chen Zhongshun, a bandit in Qizhou. Chen Zhongshun saw that most of the big and small bandits in Jinghu had been wiped out by the official army, so he naturally understood that surrendering to the court was his only way out.
But when the Lulin grassland was recruited, neither the imperial court nor the Lulin people would relax their vigilance. In Chen Zhongshun, in addition to asking him to lead a battalion alone, not to disperse his subordinates, and to provide money and grain on time, he also asked not to transfer himself to Xiangyang, Huangzhou and other places to station. Obviously, he was worried that once the war broke out again, the imperial court would send them to the Mongols to eliminate them.
In addition to strictly limiting Chen Zhongshun's troops, the court also asked Chen Zhongshun to send one of his sons and nephews to Xiangyang as hostages.
Chen Zhongshun had only one daughter who died early, and his closest confidant was his nephew Chen Jiao. These were things that Hu Xian had known for a long time. He couldn't hide them even if he wanted to hide them, so he had to send Chen Jiao to Hu Xian's subordinates, named as Service, which was actually a pledge by Chen Zhongshun to the court.
Zheng Yunming asked: "Brother Chen's words seemed to be a little bit different during the meal today. There are no one else here now. You can tell your thoughts in detail."
"What I want to say is." Chen Jiao emphasized: "No one of the tactics mentioned by everyone during the meal talked about the key points!"
"It's not only everyone here, but also the country's tactics against the Mongols over the past few years have been all wrong!"
Zheng Yunming's face showed a smile. After three hundred years of raising scholars in the Song Dynasty, he developed a very bad atmosphere. Everyone advocated empty talk and no one paid attention to real achievements. Even officials such as the Ministry of Works, the Minister of the Secretariat, who were not in conflict with the military, could report to the emperor, talk about how the generals in the border areas did not know how to use troops, and put forward all kinds of unrealistic strategies. There are all kinds of statements in the world, some claim that the five tigers broke the enemy formation, and some claim that they could invite divine soldiers and generals, in a nutshell, they were simply dancing with demons.
It is probably not three days since the young man entered the official army, and he probably has brought out some magic weapons and secret techniques from the people to show them to him.
Chen Jiao said: "Since ancient times, famous generals have both offensive and defense, both right and strange. I see that the imperial court uses troops and just defends and dare not take a slight attack. We must know the way of attack and defense. Attack is better than defense. There are troops everywhere in the border of thousands of miles. The enemy can calmly choose the location and opportunity for attack. If this continues, it can be defended for one year but not for ten years, ten years but not for twenty years, and thirty years, and always shrinks and be beaten. What is the use of building a city wall like a golden pool iron barrel?"
Zheng Yunming smiled and said, "How about the bento according to your opinion?"
"Have the governor ever learned the art of white striking?" The art of white striking in Chen Jiao's mouth is the boxing routine without equipment in martial arts. When Zheng Yunming was at home, his father asked him to practice martial arts and exercise his body, but he felt tired and could not hide. It was not until after Jinghu commanded the army that as the commander of the entire army, he had to practice martial arts diligently and set an example for the entire army, and under the supervision of Lai Ruyue and Qin Wu, he began to learn boxing seriously.
He narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "I still understand a little."
