Chapter 190: Strategic Decisions

The most interesting example is a strategic choice made by Zhu Yuanzhang back then.

He faced two enemies in the east and west at one time, Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, among which Chen Youliang became a real villain because of his performance in Heaven and Dragon Slayer, of course, what he did was indeed a villain.

In terms of how to choose combat targets, Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates are surprisingly unanimous, Zhang Shicheng is rich and cowardly, weak, Chen Youliang This old boy is despicable, shameless and vicious, not to mention constantly betraying the people who trust him, but also poor and arrogant, who doesn't cry with such a neighbor?

For subordinate courtiers, there are too many benefits to hitting Zhang Shicheng first.

Nanjing itself beats Suzhou, which belongs to the upstream bullying the downstream, plus points.

Compared with Hunan, which is poor and poor, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where the people are simple and rich, are definitely a fertile land with rich money and grain.

Zhang Shicheng, who was born as a smuggler of salt, is far less difficult to deal with than the sinister and despicable Chen Youliang, which is a plus.

For courtiers, the boss is not himself, of course, when choosing to work, the most important thing is to have less money and more female secretaries.

But what turned out afterwards was that hitting Chen Youliang first was the best solution.

This is the decision deviation that will not be escapable for another thousand years, that is, the person making the decision and the stakeholders of the decision are not so harmonious.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as one of the three most righteous people in Chinese history, ascended to the throne as a beggar, although the policy setting after taking the throne was too small, resulting in the Chinese being completely bound to the fate of Lu Quanguo, but it was also his intellectual limitation as a continental nation, which included the great emperors of almost all the great nations in the world.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ruan Fulan still approved the conditions of the Straw Hat trio.

They don't seem to ask for much, a little money, a little women, some wasteland to settle down, and from beginning to end, there is only pay, only after they open the pontoon bridge, and then the soldiers of Nguyen Phuc Lan control the entire pontoon bridge, the army slowly crosses the river, and the straw hat trio provides protection throughout the whole process, and the people in Rong City will definitely not react so quickly.

According to the scout information, the Zheng clan has sent at least more than 5,000 real soldiers, 20,000 of whom were ordinary people a few days ago, and they have not yet changed into military uniforms, they are all gray-headed, almost unarmed, and many of them are still holding their own ridiculous farm tools as standard cannon fodder.

But cannon fodder can also charge frantically under the butcher's knives of officers and overseers, consuming their own not strong troops, and the longer the days drag, the more troops Zheng can send to crush their hopes of crossing the river.

Historically, when the Tang Dynasty still belonged to Chinese territory, Wang Bo, a talented man who wrote the famous article "Autumn Water Grows Together in the Sky, Luoxia and Lonely Birds Fly Together", was hung up when he visited his father, who was a magistrate here.

What does this mean, at least at that time, the traffic of the Lan River was already a very important place in Vietnam, even in later generations, it was also the main channel for the transportation of mahogany furniture into China, and a large number of so-called mahogany furniture was transported to China every year and made into the so-called mahogany furniture, in fact, that thing was like that.

In fact, one of the ways for his father and son to boost morale is to go back to the north and grab money, food and girls.

The Straw Hat trio had great powers, and sure enough, they got countless fishing boats from outside, as well as the timber prepared by Nguyen Phuc Lan, one of the products produced in this part of Vietnam is an untold amount of wood.

Building a pontoon bridge is actually a technical job, and it is not a simple pile of boats and planks, but the Straw Hat trio seems to be very skilled.

The pontoon bridge was built little by little, and although the defenders of Rong City were constantly trying to find ways to stop it, they could not do much because they lacked ships and heavy weapons.

The most dissatisfied and uneasy is Zheng Zhun.

In fact, he didn't have any dissatisfaction, although he was roasted on the fire by people from the imperial capital to rebel, but he did get too much.

When you go in and out of the mountains to shout long live, as if you have confirmed your identity as a master, that fluttering intoxicating feeling will make any serious and motivated young person in the world become no longer cautious, fluttering and unconscious.

At this time, Zheng Zhun relied on the support of his son-in-law from the imperial capital, and already had tens of thousands of troops and took several counties, and as long as he took a piece of land, the local people did not kneel and lick it disrespectfully.

He really enjoyed it, whether it was the sycophants of those speculators, or the power to handle all kinds of affairs on his own territory although it was not big, or even the way those women flattered themselves, it was different.

In the past, Zheng Zhun also played with the maids in his own family, but it was all done under special oppression and coercion, even if some women who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, it was common to flatter and please.

But now it's different, as he becomes more and more stable, at least in the eyes of the masses who don't know the truth, becoming the CEO of Dayue, marrying the black poor beauty, walking on the pinnacle of life, and creating a business for eternity is really the most beautiful thing in the world.

Especially that feeling, in China, if a woman is pregnant with the emperor's woman, it is a major event celebrated by the whole world, the ministers want to congratulate the emperor on having a queen, Sheji has more heirs, there will be no emperor cut off the heirs, internal turmoil The tragic situation, and the magistrates are also very good at being people, this kind of opportunity to quickly go to the cold stove without spending their own money can not be missed.

One of the most ruthless guys in Chinese history was after the death of the Empress Dowager Cixi's father, who had no money and returned to her hometown, and coincidentally, a Qinghe county order gave the wrong gift and gave a gift to Cixi, which naturally attracted thousands of thanks, and afterwards Cixi entered the palace as a concubine and gave birth to a prince, which was for the Queen Mother of the West, and this Qinghe County order only sent three hundred taels of silver, so it was changed to a governor to do it, which is really ......

Be a man with a little vision, not too small, just as most fat girls are potential stocks, encouraging them when they have the least confidence can be obtained......

Ahem, cough, okay, this kind of feeling of being a superior person makes Zheng Zhun very cool, similar to the male animal's snort and show off after the success of the competition for a mate.

But he didn't feel right.

Even if the news of Ruan Fulan's sudden murder of his father in the south came, according to what the dog-headed military advisors around him said, this time, he would be more at ease to seize the foundation of the north, and then deal with the little bastard who killed his father and stood on his own under the pretext of hanging the people.

After a long time, he gradually felt that the most important thing in the war, one is to fight for national strength, the other is to fight for intelligence, both of which are indispensable, so far for this, Zheng Zhun's army has achieved a very significant victory, in addition to the advantage in weapons, the advantage in intelligence is also indispensable, Chu Liuxiang Gongzi, can often get the enemy's action arrangement, before each battle, his Mauser troops can be through the range advantage of the enemy's troops, movements are clear, Thus also ensuring victory on the battlefield.

However, Chu Liuxiang's previous way of collecting intelligence mainly relied on the night reconnaissance of drones, supplemented by a small number of secret agents, but as the battle unfolded, it began to be fragmented, of course, the reason is also very good, the west has strengthened the investigation, and at the same time, after the rainy season begins, the roads are muddy and difficult to walk.

But in the past month, it seems that there have been very few direct encounters with people from Hanoi.

"Where is Gongzi Chu?"

"He said that he was going to various places to investigate the people's situation and reassure the people, so he went out, not knowing when he would come back."

"What about Xiuwen, why didn't you pick it up?"

"Miss was also taken away."

Zheng Zhun was secretly angry, this Chu Liuxiang was really excessive.

Since he has embarked on this road of rebellion, Zheng Zhun naturally plans to go all the way to the dark, but this Chu Liuxiang is mysterious, and he simply doesn't take him seriously, but now at this critical moment, he often does not appear, and even takes his daughter to often travel in the mountains and rivers.

The poor daughter was less than thirteen, and she had already fallen into the hands of this pervert, and the wife went to visit, and came back crying and crying that her daughter was not perfect, and there was more than one woman in the swinger's house, but there were not a few warblers and swallows.

But Zheng Zhun found that not only did he not dare to scold this villain a little at this time, but he had to ask with a smile whether his daughter was comfortable serving Chu Gongzi, and whether he needed to teach her to be obedient.

At the end of the day, it's still passive.

At present, financially, Zheng Zhun is close to bankruptcy, although in the accounts of the elders, the constantly occupied Vietnamese mineral deposits are compiled into the asset table of the China Mining Group, but this is not realizable, the fact is that the increase in the number of Zheng Zhun also means an increase in consumption, and for his supplies have begun to slow down a lot.

It is not so easy to organize the resumption of production, and the land in Vietnam seems to be suitable for growing rice three times a year, but the same problem is also very big, and the investment in the early stage is actually not small.

There was even a time, due to the arrival of a typhoon, Zheng Zhilong's ship arrived three days late, and at that time, Zheng Zhun took stock and almost ran out of pay and food, but fortunately, he had some private hiding, so he passed over.

The battle was still not going well, and although proficiency with the Mauser rifle quickly increased, it came at the cost of a lot of ammunition consumption, which was another investment.

Naturally, he didn't know that under the private ledger of the elders, he already owed a debt that could never be repaid, but fortunately, the elders were reasonable and directly used the land to keep accounts, Vietnam has almost an area of millions of hectares of forests, the best anthracite coal in the world, and the most abundant iron ore and oil in Southeast Asia.

At this time, Zheng Zhun was actually quite strong.

The so-called Mauser battalion under his command has already completed the reorganization and training of six battalions, all of which have fired at least a few dozen rounds of ammunition, and the other auxiliary units are also quite strong and have great confidence that they can retake Hanoi.

However, he still felt that something was missing, at least the gap between him and the people sent by Chu Liuxiang to train was obvious, but the answer he got was that it was good to hone and hone on the battlefield.

yes, it's time to get started.

"The latest news, over there in Hanoi, we have sent people south to block the people of the Ruan family, and we seem to be able to move in."

Hong Kong.

Zheng Zhilong had already left, or rather, he ran away with a ghost in his heart.

Ninja Hui never returned, which made Zheng Zhilong worried, so he returned to Fujian under the pretext of leaving a few of the eighteen Zhilong and began to be busy helping to carry supplies.

The recruits in Hong Kong have already undergone more than 10 days of adaptive training, and although they have mainly learned some basics during this time, they have also learned the know-how of shooting and guerrilla warfare in jungle warfare, but in view of the special situation at present, the political nature of their dispatch is greater than that of military nature, so they still set aside a certain amount of time every day to study cultural classes.

Of course, now the recruits are still using old-fashioned Mausers, in addition to military uniforms, each person is also issued with a raincoat, a military hat, which can provide shade from the sun and rain, and a layer of iron plate inside, which can play some protective capacity.

However, it seemed to these recruits that they were already hungry and thirsty, and after all kinds of agitation, many soldiers were a little eager to try.

As the focus of training, the recruits have to carry out an hour of cultural and political study every night, so that the recruits not only learn to read and write, but also understand many truths that they have never heard before, on the one hand, they know the concept of the country and the nation, understand that they are not fighting for the emperor, and on the other hand, they also know the purpose of their fighting, not for the court, not for the emperor, not for some Confucian masters, but to protect their homeland, protect their relatives and fellow villagers. In particular, almost all of these soldiers have experienced the moment of family destruction and death, so they understand how difficult it is for the elders to bring them a new life after their arrival, and emphasize the importance of recovering the lost land and being worthy of their ancestors.

Of course, in this regard, the elders are absolutely opposed to ultra-nationalism, which is not only a moral issue, but also a practical issue, so for overseas lands, they also pay attention to red lotus, white lotus root, and green lotus leaves.

In fact, the Chinese peasants are not lacking in blood, but the bloodiness is buried too deep in the body and is not easy to be stimulated, and once it is stimulated, it is in no way inferior to other countries, which has been proven countless times in the old time and space, and it is still the same in this time and space.

Therefore, after slowly waiting for the order to line up to board the ship, there was no panic before the approaching battle, as if it was an outing.

Li Xiao watched those large and small ships slowly drive out of the dock and said, "I hope we won't be called Showa villains." ”

Sun Cisco said contemptuously: "Don't mention it, no matter how miserable we are, we can't reach that level, we are going to spread civilization and modernization, and we are the king." ”

Li smiled and said: "I am afraid that there will be an epidemic in the place where I am sent to be warm, so someone has to go to the local area to carry out the disinfection work first." ”

Li Xiao mentioned it all over, and suddenly remembered that once the army left, there was only one elder left in Hong Kong, so the Hui in the room could start......
