When leading an army in a war, especially a commander-in-chief, there are many things to consider. Given Zhang Mingwei's age, can he think carefully about it? If one place is not considered, it may lead to defeat and death!
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Huo Qubing, the most famous hussar general, was about twenty years old and had a record that will go down in history!
However, everyone knows that there is only one Huo Qubing, and there are countless people who were defeated and died. Which one is the National Congress?
Emperor Chongzhen was not sure, and neither were others. However, there were no famous generals or marshals available in the court, and there was no time. Therefore, the only choice was to look at Duke Xingguo!
As public opinion focuses on ZTE, Zhang Mingwei is under pressure, but it is not particularly great. As a keyboard warrior, now is the time for practical operations, so theoretical guidance is always available.
Therefore, after Zhang Mingwei took over the responsibility of commander-in-chief, the first thing he did was to establish a staff department. Of course, in this era, it is to establish a staff team.
Other commanders-in-chief, and even the staff around local chief officials, were generally Shaoxing masters, or scholars. But the staff around Zhang Mingwei are a little different.
He divided the work between Lan Tianbao, Liu Jin, and Zhu Yurao. Among them, Lan Tianbao, the chief officer, collected and analyzed intelligence on enemy generals, while Liu Jin was responsible for controlling the terrain and battlefield conditions, and Zhu Yurao was mainly concerned with The logistics of one's own army, including food, ordnance, and morale.
Of course, none of them do it alone. For example, Zhu Ainao had Mrs. Zhou Liu helping her. Lan Tianbao and Liu Jin also have their subordinates to collect the intelligence they are responsible for. Even for Liu Jin, he may personally take Ye Bushou out to verify it.
Soon, messages were collected on Zhang Mingwei's desk.
"Sir, the main force of Zuo Liangyu's army is more than two hundred miles away from Baoding. The strength is said to be 300,000. In fact, most of them are civilians. The real strength is only 50,000. Among them, 6,000 are cavalry, which belongs to Zuo Liangyu's family. Spears There are more than 30,000 soldiers, 5,000 fire musket soldiers, 3,000 archers, and the others are swords and shields and other types of troops." Liu Jin pointed to a map in front of him while talking about the information he got from the captured Tanma.
"Among these troops, the cavalry are the elite and receive the best treatment among Zuo Liangyu's army. The pikemen are the worst, with only one spear and most of them have no armor. The firegun soldiers all have matchlock guns, tiger squatting cannons and Buddha cannons. Lang machine gun, no heavy artillery"
While Zhang Mingwei was listening to Liu Jinzai's report, he was holding a charcoal pen in his hand and writing something in a big notebook.
After Liu Jin finished speaking, he looked at Lan Tianbao again and heard Lan Tianbao report to him: "Zuo Liangyu was originally the commander of Cheyouying in Liaodong and was dismissed due to a mutiny. Later, he was appreciated by Hou Xun and recommended as deputy general. "
Zhang Mingwei had an impression of Zuo Liangyu. At this time, listening to the information collected by Lan Tianbao, especially the information in the past two years, he was still particularly concerned. While listening, he occasionally wrote down in his notebook.
After listening to Zuo Liangyu’s introduction, I heard Hou Xun’s introduction, as well as the famous generals Ma Jinzhong, Ma Shixiu and others under Zuo Liangyu’s command, as well as Zuo Liangyu’s son Zuo Mengeng and others. The news was more or less All.
After Zhang Mingwei finished listening, he looked at Zhu Yuyao, asking her to report the situation on his side to the imperial officers and soldiers.
Princess Kunxing is young and is the least polluted by society. One is one, two is two, and she can distinguish right from wrong. In addition, Zhang Mingwei is both the supervisor and the commander-in-chief. The officials working under him, as well as the local officials, do not dare to be careless.
After everyone finished speaking, Zhang Mingwei basically had a clear understanding of the situation on both sides. Regardless of whether it was in terms of ordnance logistics or the elite level of the army, the imperial officers and soldiers were the winners. If nothing unexpected happens, defeating Zuo Liangyu's troops will definitely not be a problem.
Zuo Liangyu must have known that Xiao Yuanying was recruited here, and he should also know that their strength could not compare with this one. But why didn't he escape, but there were still signs of getting ready to make a move?
Zhang Mingwei thought this, looked at the information in the big book, took over Zuo Liangyu's side, and began to think about this issue.
Later, Zhang Mingwei inspected the army, personally inspected all his troops, inspected the weapons, and observed morale. He has only one purpose, which is to know how sharp the knives in his hands are.
After all, this is not a game played by later generations. There is no difference between the soldiers and they can just go over with a.
Zhou Yuji and others thought that they would lead their troops south soon, because they knew that the situation in Kaifeng was tense and they urgently needed rescue.
As for Yuan Shizhong, who had just been recruited, he was eager to prove himself by making meritorious deeds.
It turned out that the Duke didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, he just let them train their troops. This made them all wait a little impatiently.
In fact, not only were they anxious, Zuo Liangyu was also anxious!
"What's going on? That young boy has just taken over the military power. Isn't it time to rush to prove him? Why has there been no movement?" Zuo Liangyu waited for a few days but still didn't see any movement from the imperial officers and soldiers, so he just endured it. I couldn't help but ask Hou Xun.
Hou Xun was also a little surprised, thought for a moment and replied: "Is it possible that he is good at ransacking homes, but he has no courage to go into battle to fight?"
"Military advisor, what do you think we should do?" Zuo Liangyu became a little irritable and said to Hou Xun, "If this continues, people will eat what horses chew, and we can't afford it!"
His troops were not supplied with supplies by the imperial court at all. They were all plundered by his own troops, so it was impossible to have much food in reserve.
After hearing this, Hou Xun thought for a while, then frowned and said, "We really can't drag it out any longer. How about we go north to give him a try, and then act according to the situation?"
After hearing this, Zuo Liangyu immediately agreed: "Okay, that's what I mean too!"
As a result, Zuo Liangyu's troops began to move, and countless men and horses began to move north. The momentum was so great that it stretched for dozens of miles.
As soon as he moved, Zhang Mingwei naturally received the news immediately. He immediately held a military meeting and said to many generals under his command: "Don't you want to fight? If I want to defeat Zuo Liangyu's main force, I must use a force Who would want to go to an elite division that is thought to be a surprise force?"
A surprise soldier? Is this an ambush? Zhou Yuji and others were a little curious after hearing this. It was the first time that the Duke led troops to fight, so he had to use a strategy?
With this thought in mind, no matter who it was, they all rushed out of the queue to answer without hesitation, and replied in unison: "The general will go where he wants!"
The morale is very high, Zhang Mingwei commented in his heart. After weighing it, he began to roll out names and deploy them.
