The meaning of the Xiushui Creek and Broken Bridge Strategy is actually very simple. It is to ask King Zhu Tian to send troops to set up an ambush on the east side of the only wooden arch bridge on the Xiushui River, and at the same time place mines on the bridge piers. When the promising front team crosses the bridge, blow up the bridge and let the ambush attack.
This is actually a standardized tactic of the Jinyi pro-army - due to the emergence of a series of weapons using sweet gunpowder as combat charges, many previous tactics have been eliminated. Zhu Heji, who knew some of the war patterns of later generations, worked with people from the Military Advisor's Office, the Youth Hall Chief, and the Youth Artillery Leader to develop several new tactics using grenades, hammer-throwing cannons, and sugar bombs to attack ambushes. Among them were Broken bridge plan.
King Zhu Tian should know about this bridge-breaking tactic, because the Military Advisor Office sent him a document specifically introducing several new tactics including the bridge-breaking tactic.
But Tianwang Zhu seems to have forgotten...maybe he didn't watch it at all!
Su Yong, the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei North Town and a scholar, also received the same document, but he read it carefully word by word. When he encountered a word he didn't understand, he asked his son Su Zhanshan and nephew Su Zhanhai for advice.
But at this moment, Su Yong didn't say anything to teach Tian Wang Zhu - he felt that he should save some face for Tian Wang Zhu. King Ding of the prison country is also a former Confucian scholar. How can he act like a fool and know nothing?
Besides, he was not very close to Heavenly King Zhu, and he went up the mountain with Daboling. If Da Bo Ling hadn't insisted on staying on Danan Mountain to be Cannon Zhu's female teacher, he would have gone down the mountain long ago.
Now that he has become the head of the Su clan with the support of Zhu Heji and Da Boling, he has been labeled as the Taisun sect, so he cannot be too active in front of the third prince Zhu.
Zhao Zhongyi also knew how to use the bridge-breaking tactic. He was the admiral of the fourth sect and was in charge of the six "sect armies", so of course he had to master the latest tactics. However, he did not tell King Zhu Tian. He planned to secretly tell King Zhu Tian after the meeting was over that this was what his confidant did.
Of course Zhuge Zhengyang, the son of Zhuge Sanhe, also knew how to use the Broken Bridge Strategy, but he didn't tell him... He was a "child" and the adults didn't tell him, so how could he tell it? How could little Zhuge be so ignorant?
So there was silence in the lobby!
This is a bit embarrassing!
The Third Prince Zhu had a brilliant idea but didn't know how to use it.
As a supervisor, he was not very particular about his work. He didn't know how to hold a small meeting behind closed doors to study. Instead, he wanted to ask the four visiting guests for advice. Oh, these four are not guests, they are all former Confucian scholars! In the future, we will all discuss together how to revitalize China and spread Confucianism. There is nothing wrong with discussing tips and tricks now.
So the Third Prince Zhu smiled and asked: "Commander Chen, Monk Jin Zhong, Bada Shanren, Mr. Shunshui, you are knowledgeable, you must know what the Zhuge family's ancestral bridge-breaking strategy is about, right?"
These four bachelors are of course knowledgeable, and they are also willing to make suggestions for the cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty.
The first person who came up with the idea was the old man Zhu Zhiyu. He was a great Confucian who spread Confucian truth in Japan. However, the Japanese samurai in the Edo period liked military talks related to Chinese history, that is, stories about Chinese history and military affairs. Among them, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Of course it will always be number one on the "best-seller list". Mr. Zhu was not only telling the students about the principles of Confucianism, but also about the Three Kingdoms... So when he heard the "Broken Bridge Strategy", he remembered the allusion of "Zhang Fei drank and broke the Dangyang Bridge".
So he said to the third prince Zhu: "Your Highness Prince Ding, could Zhuge's strategy of breaking the bridge be based on Zhang Fei's story of breaking the Dangyang Bridge with his drink?"
"Mr. Shun Shui is right. Zhuge's military advisor's clever plan must be related to those events in the Three Kingdoms." This kind of monk Qu Dajun also nodded and agreed, "The most famous allusion of the broken bridge in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" seems to be Zhang Fei is dead."
Bada Shanren also twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Pindao also heard about Zhuge's military advisor in Jiangxi... It is said that a general under the Tatar Emperor even picked up an unexploded weapon on the battlefield. The magic weapon chamber pot was brought to Beijing to offer treasures. The young Tatar emperor also specially issued an edict to invite Longhushan Zhang Tianshi to go to Beijing to study the chamber pot. This matter was spread throughout Jiangxi Taoism! His Royal Highness, King Ding, was assisted by this Zhuge military advisor , it seems that our Ming Dynasty is likely to be revived!"
"There is also this matter..." The third prince Zhu touched the five locks of his long beard, thoughtfully, and then he muttered, "Zhang Fei drank up the Dangyang Bridge? But in today's Jieyang City , who can drink down the Xiushui Bridge?"
"Of course it's you, His Highness Prince Ding!" Chen Yonghua said with a smile, "You have the loudest voice in Jieyang City, and you also have a mighty appearance. You hold a Guandao and stand on the bridge. Thousands of horses and troops are just waiting for you!"
"Is this a bluff?"
The Third Prince Zhu was educated, so he had also read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Of course he remembered this paragraph, so he asked several of his subordinates: "Yong Meng Su, Zhongyi Zhao, and Xiao Zhuge, do you think the Gu family can frighten Shang by taking action in person?" A delightful army?”
He is really brave and really plans to go into battle. He is worthy of being the "savage version of the third prince" who has been a bandit for many years.
But Yongmeng Su, Zhongyi Zhao, and Xiao Zhuge were all stunned, and said to themselves: "Sure enough, like son, like father!"
"able!"
"must be able to!"
"Must be able!"
These three are also full of confidence! Don't look at Shang Kexi's 50,000-strong army, but they only have 600 standing troops on hand. But they still have the confidence to win!
"Your Majesty," Little Zhuge said as he took off the grenade hanging from his belt, "We have this... we are bound to win! Although we can't defeat Shang Ke's main force, we can seriously injure them. There is no problem with the vanguard. As long as their vanguard can be severely damaged, Shang Kexi, the old turtle, will definitely advance steadily and slowly. Once he slows down, the trend will be on our side. As long as the prince takes Macau, we will definitely win. !”
"What? Attack Macau?" Chen Yonghua was startled after hearing what little Zhuge said and jumped up from his chair, "When did it happen? Why didn't you discuss it with us?"
Seeing Chen Yonghua's reaction, Zhu Tianwang, Yongmeng Su, and Zhongyi Zhao were also quite surprised. Little Zhuge simply didn't dare to speak.
King Zhu Tian said with a smile: "It has been a while since we sent out troops... I guess there will be good news in the next few days."
"Good news? How is this possible?" Chen Yonghua shook his head repeatedly, "How many people do you have? How can you possibly defeat Macau? Moreover, the fort in Macau is stuck in the Haojiang waterway, and your ships cannot enter the port."
"The bad boy borrowed three thousand troops from his father-in-law, and also hijacked the British East India Company's Great Eastern, intending to sneak into Macau Port and start..."
"What? You actually..." When Chen Yonghua said this, his expression suddenly changed, and he muttered in a low voice, "Big Brother Hui..."
It turns out that the boss Hui concealed Zhu Heji's borrowing of troops and the hijacking of the Great Eastern from the Yanping Palace.
This is no small problem!
This is a matter of taking sides!
Da Laohui probably wants to defect to the Jieyang court from the Yanping Palace... If the Jieyang court really conquers Macau, Da Laohui will not think about it, but will definitely join the Jieyang court.
After all, his relationship with the third prince Zhu was already good. His daughter was married to the third grandson Zhu, and his son and the third grandson Zhu had also been good brothers for many years. These are all "three good things superimposed". If Jieyang is more powerful, why should Qiu Hui still hang out with the Yanping Palace with no future?
Thinking of this, Chen Yonghua had put away his surprised expression, restored his calm smile, and then said to King Zhu Tian: "Your Highness King Ding, now Shang Kexi suddenly marched in with his entire army. It is very likely that he learned that the prince succeeded in Macau. news. So if you want to send troops, you'd better hurry up, lest Shang Kexi's soldiers occupy Xiushui Bridge first.
In addition, I have heard for a long time that the Jinyi soldiers are good at fighting, so I also want to see them use grenade hammers to defeat the Shang family soldiers. "
King Zhu Meng slapped his thigh and laughed and said: "Okay! Military Master Chen, let's send troops together!" Then he said to Su Yong, Zhao Zhongyi and Xiao Zhuge, "Yong Meng Su, Zhongyi Zhao and Xiao Zhuge, you three Come up with a complete strategy quickly!"
