The Jingwu Heroes Association is not just a place to compete in martial arts. Since it is Xiao Letian's force, there will naturally be no shortage of intelligence work. This is the largest intelligence station of the Weihua clan in Tianjin.
The Manchus also knew it in their hearts, but the fact is that if you are stronger than people, if you cannot match the power of the Chinese, then you can only admit it by holding your nose.
Jingwu Heroes will have a brand new telegram sending and receiving system. The newly pulled telegraph lines can communicate with the outside world in a timely manner. As long as the information is not particularly top-secret, it can be shared with the same authority.
Hunchun's Guanwai Army came to Tangshan. This was an open matter and not a secret, so Deng Shichang and others asked, and Xiang Lang would not hide anything.
With this beginning, the two sides tentatively began to talk about the civil war in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Chinese military officers and officials studying in the Qing Dynasty each had their own analysis of the current situation.
Speaking of highlights, Xiang Lang even held out a map sheet and set up a table for everyone to deduce!
The men in the arena were filled with excitement as they listened to the exchange of words. Only then did they realize that it was the leaders who led the troops in the war that were the most exciting.
Heroes from all walks of life are fighting and killing, and the fighting of dozens of people is over, but in the eyes of these people, hundreds of thousands of troops fighting and arranging troops are the big scene.
At the beginning, it was just an introduction to the situation and military situation, but after a long chat, Jiang Lie, Pang Chaoyun and others and Deng Shichang became two parties in the war game.
They started a war of words on the map. Deng Shichang and others naturally represented the imperial court. Jiang Lie and the others simply chose the Japanese Liuyang. Based on the intelligence they currently had, both sides began to make bold ideas.
"The imperial court's response strategy is not serious. The strategy of exchanging time for space is not wrong. By holding the Yongding River defense line and dragging the war into a war of attrition, our advantage has been highlighted. Although the rebel army is large in size But there are not many regular troops, and the homeless grass bandits cannot last long..."
"Really? I have a different opinion. If the imperial court really has such a big advantage, why did the Battle of Zhuozhou end in a disastrous defeat?"
"That was the work of the spy network that Guiziliu had worked so hard to run. How could the court lose if there weren't traitors?" Deng Shichang immediately retorted.
"Yes! This is the crux of the matter. Have you ever thought about the asymmetry in war? Will Guizi Six really fight according to your arrangements? Have you considered things that jump out of the battlefield?"
"No, no, no, war is a precise science, not a metaphysics! We must rely on the information we have for analysis, rather than relying on fantasy. If all the changes in fantasy are taken into account, then this variable cannot be calculated. !”
"Oh, God! Did the British teach you this? Don't you calculate variables? Don't your navy predict the variables in the direction of typhoons, ocean currents, etc. when fighting?"
"From ancient times to the present, excellent military strategists have to deduce, analyze and guess. If they all rely on intelligence to fight, wouldn't it all be based on paper talks?"
Yan Fu and others stopped drinking. They pointed at the map and retorted, "There can be speculation about war, but it cannot be unlimited speculation! Of course we know that the head of state has fought for so many years and created many miracles. He seems to be under the influence of the devil." It’s like being able to predict the future…”
"But do others have this ability? Is this ability successful every time and lasting? You can't guarantee this!"
"The Germans have established a general staff system, but in the final analysis it is used to calculate variables in this kind of war. The most important job of these staff groups in peacetime is to guess many imaginary enemies or many special situations... and based on In this case, we will conduct a filing and deduction!”
"But everything must have a degree, and you cannot speculate without limit! The human brain has its limits, and even if there is a staff group, there is a limit to the number of people!"
"Haha... The more you calculate, the less likely you will win. How can the enemy follow the script if he is not a fool? Jaap Six is insidious and scheming. He relied on variables outside the battlefield to win the Zhuozhou battle. Don't you count it now?"
"Then you come to deduce, you are Guiziliu, what are you going to do?" Deng Shichang asked, pointing in the direction of Yongding River.
Pang Chaoyun rolled up his sleeves, "There are so many variables. Juyongguan, Gubeikou, Miyun Changping directly lead to Mongolia... Who of you can guarantee that there is no rebellion among the Eight Banners of Mongolia?"
"How is that possible!" Yan Fu blocked the wine glass directly on the map northwest of the capital. "It is well known in the court that since the death of the late emperor, the Queen Mother of the East has been responsible for the comfort of the Mongolian palace. The Queen Mother of the West has also intervened in the appointment and dismissal of officials from various Mongolian tribes. Don’t go in!”
"When the two palaces broke up, even if Xiao Letian's reinforcements did not enter the capital, the cavalry from various Mongolian tribes would arrive in the capital in a few days to protect the Eastern Queen Mother!"
"The imperial court knows that the alliance between Manchuria and Mongolia is fundamental, and the Empress Dowager Dong will fight to the death to give up this right! After His Majesty took office, the Mongolian tribes also frequently came to Beijing to meet with His Majesty!"
"Now you question the loyalty of the Mongolian tribes? Impossible, absolutely impossible... Don't forget that tens of thousands of General Hunchun's cavalry are coming towards the capital outside Gubeikou. Can't the Mongolian tribes see the cavalry outside the pass?"
Jiang Lie frowned and looked at the map, "Hunchun's cavalry can block Gubeikou, who can resist outside Juyong Pass? Is there a secret connection between the Zhangjiakou garrison in Xuanhua Prefecture and Guiziliu? What guarantee can you give?"
"Oh! I can tell you something about this..." While everyone was playing war games, Gordon suddenly spoke.
"As far as I know, there is an important military force in the north of the capital that can defend the capital. Everyone seems to have missed him!"
"Have you forgotten, Prime Minister Fu Qing? According to my British intelligence report, no one in Chengde Mansion can speak at this moment. Only Mr. Fu Qing's words are most effective!"
"Haha... The post office has already formed an army. It was sealed by Lord Long Live himself, but is this army really just being established now?"
Hiss... the people present looked at Gordon as if they were seeing a ghost. How could this foreign big nose dig so deep?
No one dared to answer this question. People like Deng Shichang didn't know that the imperial court was in deep trouble, so how could they dare to speak nonsense? And it is impossible for Jiang Lie and others to make irresponsible remarks against the uncle of the head of state! The debate stops here.
They paused. Dong Haichuan, Guo Yunshen, Huo Endi and other heroes were dumbfounded. Every word they heard today was at a level they had never dared to expect. It was as high as the sky.
The intertwined and complex forces of the imperial court are like things in the clouds to the common people, and no one can see them through the clouds and mist!
It was already terrifying in their imaginations, but when they spied a little bit of secrets today, they were even more frightened. The great martial arts master who was not afraid of anything, not even ghosts or gods, had sweat all over his hands at this moment.
Plan A can no longer be deduced, because no one wants to talk about Master Fuqing in depth. After all, it also involves the royal love scandal, let alone talk about it.
In this case, Plan B began to be deduced. Jiang Lie boldly imagined that the Six Japanese rebels would pass through the canal water system and quickly attack Tongzhou by boat!
