"This Zhou Zhenwen is so brave!"
Empress Liang Zhao looked at this scene in the picture and was a little stunned. This Zhou Zhenwen was really lawless!
How dare even the feudal lord dare to discuss it casually?
These are all her uncles!
It’s the serious Prince Dahuang!
There are those who have officially sealed the country and have the title of vassal king!
He is not even the slightest bit better than those princes with empty reputations in the capital.
The eight princes are all powerful beings, and even the empress Liang Zhao does not dare to have any ideas against them at this moment.
[You are also quite shocked, sighing in your heart at Zhou Zhenwen's boldness: Bachelor Zhou, what do you mean by this? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Your Majesty, the rebellion in Qingzhou is nothing more than rebellious officials and traitors jumping over the wall and raising troops to rebel. Although it has the support of various counties and counties, it is only the land of one state. There are thirteen states in the world, and the land of only one state, no matter how chaotic it is, , at most one year, it will be settled and there will be no trouble. 】
[However, if Yanzhou and Xuzhou are allowed to mobilize a large number of soldiers and horses to quell the chaos in Qingzhou, the result will inevitably be to drag Yanzhou and Xuzhou into a place of no return! 】
[Yanzhou and Xuzhou are important border areas, and they are also the places where the two princes established vassal states. Once there is a disturbance, whether it is an invasion by foreign tribes or rebellion by traitors, the consequences will be far greater than the chaos in Qingzhou. Your Majesty, please think twice. 】
[Although Zhou Zhenwen was talking about the rebellion of traitors and ministers, how could the people present not understand the meaning of his words, even if they were not human beings? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen’s meaning is simply that the rebellion in Qingzhou is just a desperate act by Zhang Qi, the prefect of Qingzhou, and if chaos occurs in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, it may shake the foundation of the country. The two princes are uncles of the emperor. If they rebel If they have different intentions and raise troops to rebel, I am afraid that there will be a chain reaction, causing the other six vassal kings to rebel together, and they may even raise troops in Jingzhou in the name of Qingjun. By then, the situation will really be out of control. 】
"This Zhou Zhenwen is indeed very scheming. Although the possibility of rebellion by the vassal king is unlikely, it is not impossible. Once the vassal king rebels, it will be the end!"
After empress Liang Zhao thought deeply for a moment, she became more frightened and frightened the more she thought about it, and a chill spread all over her body.
Whether it is an invasion by foreign tribes or rebellion by a vassal king, this is a matter that will lead to the destruction of the country.
Compared to the other two, the Qingzhou Rebellion is nothing to quell.
But if Yanzhou and Xuzhou are involved, I am afraid it will continue to expand until it is difficult to control.
"Huh? Wait..."
"The feudal king rebelled?"
"Barbarian invasion?"
Empress Liang Zhao suddenly remembered the two future events in the simulated event, and her face changed slightly: "Did all of this start with the Qingzhou incident?"
"Because of the famine in Qingzhou, barbarian invasions and vassal rebellions did not take place..."
"But due to my intervention, there was a famine in Qingzhou, which turned into the Qingzhou Incident. Once it is not handled well, it may directly lead to barbarian invasion? Or the vassal king rebels?"
For a moment, Empress Liang Zhao broke into cold sweat, her face was as gloomy as water, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.
An idea welled up in her mind...Did I do something wrong?
[Yan Zuo, the left minister of the Ministry of War: Your Majesty...]
[You: Okay, you don’t need to say any more. What Master Zhou said is right. The soldiers in Yanzhou and Xuzhou are of great importance and should not be touched lightly. 】
[Master Zhou, how do you think the rebellion in Qingzhou should be quelled? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Your Majesty, please hand over 30,000 troops to my command. I am willing to issue a military order to quell the rebellion in Qingzhou within one month. 】
[For a moment, all the officials in the court were in an uproar, and the whispers continued. 】
[You hesitated again and again, but finally agreed: Okay, if you can't put down the rebellion in Qingzhou within a month, you won't be able to take the position of cabinet scholar. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Your Majesty, please rest assured. 】
"The chief minister of the cabinet is the honorific title of the first among the cabinet bachelors. If he loses the title of cabinet bachelor and is transferred out of the cabinet, he will be completely useless!"
"Although he is highly skilled in martial arts, facing thousands of troops, his manpower will eventually be exhausted. Moreover, the standing armies of various states and counties are equipped with powerful crossbows and armor-piercing crossbow beds. If you want to attack among thousands of troops, Killing the commander in chief is not that easy!”
"How does he want to pacify the situation when the entire Qingzhou is rebelling?"
Empress Liang Zhao looked at Zhou Zhenwen who was so confident in the picture, and she was also puzzled.
Even though he is a second-grade grandmaster and has the ability to move freely among thousands of troops, it is not so easy to take the enemy commander's head lightly. Besides, Qingzhou may not have a grandmaster.
If Zhang Qi, the prefect of Qingzhou, was protected by a master, Zhou Zhenwen would probably be dragged to death if he went deep into the enemy's army alone and was surrounded by the enemy.
[Time passes day by day, and you know Zhou Zhenwen’s movements every day through the Dragon Guard’s spies. 】
[The first thing Zhou Zhenwen did when he arrived at the military camp was to obtain military power from Wu Shangyong, Minister of the Ministry of War. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen, who held military power, did not rush to Qingzhou. Instead, he rested on the spot, adjusted his troops and horses, integrated the troops and horses mobilized from various places, disrupted the original organization, and established a team of 11 people. Squad leader, merge 10 squadrons into a squadron, 10 squadrons into a squadron, and so on...]
[Squad members only need to obey the orders of the captain, the captain obeys the squadron leader, the squadron leader obeys the group captain, and so on, the levels are clearly defined. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen held the command flag and gave an order. The generals in charge of each team waved the command flag together and immediately spread his order to the 30,000-strong army. For a time, the soldiers and horses surged, changing formations back and forth, like arms. refer to. 】
[For a time, it was vast and dusty. Blocks composed of soldiers were changing back and forth in an orderly manner, as if they were refined soldiers. 】
[Wu Shangyong, Minister of the Ministry of War, looked at this scene with a look of disbelief on his face and sighed: Zhou Shoufu, your method of training soldiers is really an eye-opener for me! In just ten days, soldiers transferred from various places could be trained to look like this? How incredible! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen stood on the high platform with a calm expression: the time was too short, the training was just to integrate the troops. These soldiers were mobilized from all over the world, from all over the world, including Jingzhou soldiers, Youzhou soldiers, Yangzhou soldiers, Liangzhou soldiers... …These people all have their own small groups, and they are mutually exclusive. If the system is not disrupted and re-integrated, they will simply be a mess and it will be impossible to achieve anything! 】
[How can we deal with Qingzhou’s 10,000 elite soldiers? 】
[More soldiers and horses are not always better. Untrained soldiers, no matter how many there are, are just a mob! 】
[As long as there is a slight decline, various situations such as desertion, mutual killing, surrender, etc. may occur, leading to a mutiny and rout of the army. 】
[How could Wu Shangyong, Minister of the Ministry of War, not know this? 】
[He didn't say it at first because he didn't expect Qingzhou Governor Zhang Qi to really dare to rebel? 】
[Originally there were 30,000 troops, but they were used to intimidate, not really to use troops, so just pretending was enough. 】
[But now we are really going to fight, and we are going to fight with real swords and guns against the 10,000 elite soldiers who have been practicing for many years in Qingzhou Prefecture! 】
[To be honest, Wu Shangyong, Minister of the Ministry of War, had no idea at all. 】
[Qingzhou soldiers and horses are familiar with the terrain, and the city is strong. The terrain is advantageous. The soldiers have been practicing for many years and have sufficient food. It can be said that the army is well-fed. 】
[On our side, food has to be transported from various places, and the soldiers and horses are a ragtag group that has just been integrated. In addition, they are the siege party and the opponent is the defender. It can be said that they are at a disadvantage everywhere. It is really difficult to capture the city. There is no hope at all! 】
[A siege battle is different from a frontal battle. It often requires ten times the number of troops before you can say that you can win surely. 】
[Wu Shangyong, Minister of the Ministry of War: Zhou Shoufu, you issued a military order to put down the rebellion in Qingzhou within a month. It has been more than ten days now, and it still takes a few days to travel from here to Qingzhou. In other words, you only have ten days left. 】
[Break Qingzhou City and put down the rebellion in Qingzhou within ten days. I’m afraid it would be difficult for Emperor Taizu Wu to do it even if he were still alive! 】
[How about I write a memorial and send it back to the capital to plead with His Majesty for another month or two? 】
