Li Chengliang's tactics against the nomadic tribes in the north are generally known as "smashing the nest".

The border in the north of the Ming Dynasty was stuffed with you coming and going, and the Ming army in the border town gradually had a new countermeasure: when the foreign captives broke through the border defense, attacked the interior, and plundered on a large scale, the Ming army not only defended with danger, but also sent its own fast cavalry to smash the empty nest of the invading enemy, which was called "pounding the nest and plowing the hole".

This kind of action caused a great shock to the invading enemy, and many times had to rush back to help, so the "Records of the Divine Sect" said: "The captive chieftain is greedy for things, and the captive woman is extremely afraid of smashing the nest." This can be seen in the shock of this tactic, but this tactic requires strong mobility ability, but also needs courage and strong fighting spirit.

In the early years, Li Chengliang personally led his troops to smash the nest many times, and the soldiers used their lives, and the effect was very good. Later, Li Chengliang gradually grew old, so he could only send his subordinates there, and the Mongols were on guard against this tactic, and the effect of surprise attacks was much worse. Later, his two sons, Li Rusong and Li Rumei, also personally led the troops to carry out the nest smashing, and they also lost their hands, one died and one was injured. Another famous general of the late Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang, also led the army out of the fortress twice when he was the chief military officer of Jizhen, but both times ended in failure.

Generally speaking, mounted archery was not the strength of the Ming army, and the Mongol army was good at cavalry archery, and it was not wise for the Ming army to fight sports warfare with them. Li Chengliang father and son have had a successful attack, which is the result of the combined action of many factors.

But no matter what, when the generals of all roads were afraid of the enemy like tigers and only dared to stay in the city to defend, Li Chengliang dared to fight, and even his son died, this is a fearless spirit!

It is worth a big tree, a typical tree, a heavy reward, and an example for the soldiers!

"Next, I would like to invite General Gan to give a lecture!" Li Guo said.

All the people straightened their waists, and they didn't dare to slack off, after all, this master is a favorite general under the command of the King of the Southeast, and from the point of view of the introduction, his contribution is terrifying, and he is likely to become a big man like Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, in the future, which is not trivial!

Gan Hui nodded with satisfaction when he saw the respectful appearance of the civil and military officials.

He knew so well that in the pre-Ming Dynasty, how civil officials were not military generals! And he is a military general who was born as a pirate, but I am afraid that when they get close to the civilian officials, they will cover their noses!

The right path of civil officials is from the imperial examination, and the right way of military generals is martial arts or Zu Meng to take over, as for the thieves who were recruited, they stand aside, how can it be as beautiful as he is now, and everyone expects it.

He said calmly: "Actually, the foreign captives are not so terrible, and their cavalry does not have many advantages except for good mobility. ”

"If we organize a small group of troops to go to the grassland to work, we will run away if we grab it, and the large troops will be the rear, and see who has a small cost and a big loss? They don't have walls, and we can destroy a tribe in one fell swoop! In the face of mobile strikes, nomads lack effective means of defense more than agrarian peoples. ”

"Why can't we deal with the captives, and what is the root cause?"

"The main reason is that the income is too small and the cost is too great, so if it is a fertile land in the southeast, we will use all our strength to fight down!" Gan Hui said, causing a chuckle from the crowd.

He slammed the table and said: "Now the foreign captives have repeatedly provoked and provoked, which has caused His Royal Highness the King of the Southeast to be very angry, he is busy with liver affairs, and he has no time to run around to suppress the northern captives, thinking of a solution once and for all, that is, immigration!" ”

"Whoever provokes us, we will rob their land, completely destroy them, and give them no chance to do bad things!" Gan Hui picked up a whip, turned to the large map behind him, drew a circle in the north of the Great Wall, and said: "The prince has decided to annex the land of Monan!" ”

Drew another circle: "Wait until the south of the desert is pacified, and annex the north of the desert!" ”

His words caused an uproar in the hearts of everyone, if it was not the master who said this, and if others dared to say it so loudly, everyone would ask him if he had woken up!

If the foreign captives were so well pacified, they would not have built the Great Wall from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming Dynasty!

After hearing his words, everyone became worried.

The king's words are as heavy as Mount Tai, and finally fall on the heads of the officials, everyone is thankful for a good liver, and everyone will be held accountable for a bad liver!

Seeing everyone's bitter faces, Gan Hui smiled slightly and said: "Don't be confused, if today's time, location, people and all three are complete, we will win!" ”

"Today, the court has His Royal Highness the King of the Southeast in charge, he has far-reaching strategies, clear rewards and punishments, and unparalleled benevolence and righteousness! The civil and military officials of our dynasty are harmonious, and they are united in their hearts to form a joint force! The common people were favored by the imperial court...... Our army is strong and strong, the soldiers use their lives, and firearms are popular, the army is strong, and even the common people are generally equipped with muskets...... Well, by the way, we have a lot of money......"

Gan Hui greatly boasted of his own advantages, but the civil officials generally had gloomy faces, they read a lot, and knew that the northern Chinese captives pierced their hands, the wildfires burned inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blew and reborn, for more than 2,000 years, the Han Dynasty and the northern captives killed me, I killed you, and killed for more than 2,000 years endlessly, although the king of the southeast is a generation of heroes, but can he really solve the tasks that Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Taizong and Zhu Laosi have not been able to complete?

A big question mark!

As for the generals, according to the military order, although they do not think too much, but they are not without doubts.

The reaction was not very good, and everyone looked at him gloomily, as if to say with their eyes: "What you said seems to be very reasonable, but what even our ancestors can't do, can we do?" ”

Gan Hui sighed slightly, knowing that there is only one way to reverse people's deep-rooted views on foreign captives: that is, just do not say it, and then say it after doing it!

No matter what they think, once they get involved in this matter, they will die outside the plug!

He said the decision of the king of the southeast: "We must build a strong infantry corps, and we must also have a certain size of cavalry troops, and the militia will be fully firearmed!" ”

"The implementation of the occupation of a grassland, the construction of the city of immigrants, the army stationed here, the development of the people, the cavalry constantly attacked to snatch cattle, sheep and horses, captured the herdsmen, and made every effort to eliminate the nomadic living force, I believe that the grassland should be occupied in a hundred years, and if it is fast, it will be a matter of one generation and two generations."

"The prince is merciful, as long as those tribes surrender and do not kill any of them, they can be naturalized and let them become one of us, but all naturalized people must study and train, and they must submit their names!"

"All the people out of the fortress are trained in the military, all the strong men are issued muskets, the militia is formed, the county has a county brigade, the township has a township squadron, and the village has a village squad!"

"The main thing is to have strict military discipline, be organized, and not mess up!"

"Fight when you meet the enemy! Those who dare to retreat will be killed! Gan Hui said coldly: "The prince has a will, all the soldiers and civilians who escape, in addition to cutting off the heads, the three generations of the direct family are exiled......"

It's over, it's over, everybody's going to be finished!

Can you not be an official?

Seeing everyone's bitter faces, Gan Hui slapped a candy, he arched his hand and said: "The prince has a will, this time to solve the northern border troubles, the merit is in the future, civil officials, officials, and ordinary people can not be 'those who are not military merits shall not be knighted', and the corresponding title will be given according to the size of the merit!" ”

Call!

The civil officials who originally shook their heads turned their heads to look at him in unison, and got his confirmation, it was true!

Because it is the juncture of fighting the world, the king of the southeast implements the politics of the first army, the status of the military is transcendent, and there are even knighthoods and rewards, and no matter how civil officials do, they can't earn a knighthood.

Now that the king of the southeast has lifted this restriction, the civil officials are even more motivated!
