, In the Wuying Hall of the Forbidden City of Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen sat on the throne. Standing at the bottom were Zu Dashou and Mao Yuanyi, discussing the affairs of the new army.

I saw Emperor Chongzhen looking at Zu Dashou and said: "One of Qing's official titles is the chief teacher of the Jingshi Senior Lecture Martial Arts Hall, although there is no formal thing to do at the moment." However, the new army is about to be formed, and I am going to set up a junior martial arts hall in the new army first. ”

When Zu Dashou heard this, he finally looked forward to the news, although it is not a high-level martial arts hall, but with a junior level, will the senior level be far away? Thinking so, he was happy in his heart and listened carefully to the emperor's words.

Mao Yuanyi hadn't heard of the martial arts hall before, but he was responsible for teaching the new army, so he was also particularly concerned.

I only heard Emperor Chongzhen continue: "The imaginary enemy of the current new army is the Jianguo of Liaodong. Therefore, I am ready to conduct all the training of the new army for the Liaodong Jianjiao. Zu Qing himself is from Liaodong Jiangmen, and he has fought with Jianyu many times, for the battle of Liaodong Jianyu, tell me about it! ”

The emperor asked for this, and it was naturally impossible for Zu Dashou not to agree. After thinking about it for a while, he took a precautionary shot and said, "Your Majesty has a will, and the end will be played carefully." It's just that time is in a hurry, and I'm afraid there will be omissions. ”

"It's okay, you can say as much as you can, and then go back and supplement it and organize it into a book for the training of the new army!" Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said with relief.

Zu Dashou listened, glanced at Mao Yuanyi, and said slowly: "The most commonly used method of construction and capture is to take turns for the cavalry detachment to attack the military formation of our Ming army. ”

"The details are to build a captivity to break the enemy, first climb high and look into the distance, judge the terrain, check the enemy's situation, and take advantage of the chaos. Therefore, at the beginning of the confrontation, every time the cavalry lightly broke through the enemy's formation, and only moved after a rush, it would drive straight into the army regardless of the number of people. Although our army is numerous, it cannot support it. If it does not move, the front team will cross, and the second team will rush again. If you can't get in again, the back team will be the same. ”

"When it comes to the fight, there are also a variety of tactics." Zu Dashou said, as if he had fallen into a memory, and continued to introduce slowly. "First, when the captives are in battle, it is the time of delay, and it is a plan for the deployment of troops. The soldiers are four, and the last one is treacherous, and the four sides respond to the force, and they collide at the moment. This is the method of encircling on all sides and impacting together! ”

"Second, build a group card with an arm, dismount and shoot. If you take a single step, you will collapse on both sides, and if you rout, you will be chaotic, and you will enter from chaos. If you see it, you will ride on a horse, and then you will stand in a team to meet the enemy. This is to dismount and shoot on foot, and then charge with infantry after our army is in chaos. ”

"Third, if our army is fortified and fails to build a captive force, then it will drive cattle or whip horses, stir up the ground with raw horses, and break through the army formation, then it will win! This is to drive the herd to stir up the formation! ”

Emperor Chongzhen understood that this was a method of breaking through the Ming army's military formation, and there were many tricks.

"Fourth, if our army or the forest halberd is outside the column, and the horse is refused, the prisoner will ride around the sentry and send a shot from time to time, so that our army can work. If they hold each other for a long time, they will go on a hunger strike or lack of pay, and if they cannot be moved, they will march into the army. This is a long-term hold, and we will attack again when our army is tired! ”

"Fifth, to build a prisoner or drive down the prisoners, listen to their defeat, take advantage of the exhaustion of our army, and strike at the elite; Or just exchange blades, feint to the north and go, abandon the baggage, so throw yellow and white, our army or said to be defeated, chasing the north more than once, rushing to its ambush, often all gone. This is to drive the captives to rush into battle, or to feign defeat and lure the enemy, and also to break our army's formation! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was awe-struck by this. On the battlefield, it can really be said that everything is done. As long as they can break through the military formation of the Ming army, the means are eclectic, and any trick can be used, regardless of human nature or not, it is obviously really in line with the essence of war. Such an enemy is indeed not something that the border army can fight against at this time.

He was thinking about it, and Zu Dashou continued to introduce: "Sixth, if our army has moved, the construction will not be attacked, and when I am tired, I will rush in; If there are few soldiers, then they will first sprinkle with soil, and then drag with wood, so that the dust will rush to the sky and the earth, and the suspicious soldiers will meet it, and our army will collapse every time; If it does not collapse, it will rush, and it will break. This is a suspicious military ploy, and a bluff! ”

“……”

"Because of its defeat and clever plan to win, it only cares about the other side, there are those who have not been said by the ancient law. If it wins, the enemy will attack and kill, and there is no room for escape. If it loses, it will be scattered in all directions, and it will not be able to catch up. After Zu Dashou finished summing up, his heart was touched, and he was speechless for a long time.

When the others listened, they didn't speak immediately, and they were all carefully understanding the construction tricks introduced by Zu Dashou. For a moment, Wuyingdian fell silent.

After a long while, Emperor Chongzhen broke the silence and said: "With such a captivity, if I have the existing army of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that there will be no enemy!" ”

Zu Dashou and Mao Yuanyi listened, looked up at him, and neither spoke. The meaning of this is clear, naturally agreeing with the emperor's opinion, but it is not easy to say.

If Jianyu is only a thousand, two thousand, if there is a fierce general like Lu Xiangsheng, or a fierce general like Cao Wenzhao, or he can fight with him. But in reality, the army of Jianyu is more than the army of any town on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, Jianyu fights more and fights less, and it is an elite division, even if Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao and others are estimated to be difficult to win in the regular battle.

Emperor Chongzhen thought that if he didn't appear, according to the development of history, every defeat of the Ming army would be reasonable.

Thinking so, he frowned and asked, "Zuqing, according to your estimates, what if my Ming Guanning Army fights with Jianyu?" ”

Upon hearing this, Zu Dashou was stunned for a moment, and then played with a little hesitation: "Your Majesty, the soldier of Jianyu can be equivalent to the family of our army. For example, under the command of the Jinzhou General Army, there are only 2,000 families. ”

That is to say, when the two armies are fighting, we cannot look at the total number, but actually compare the number of families of the Ming army with the total number of prisoners. In this way, it is obvious that there are more troops in Jianyu!

Mao Yuanyi listened to it on the side, and added in his heart: "The imperial court is in arrears, and each general is eager to support his family, and it will be difficult to replenish once it is lost." Because of this, most generals are reluctant to spend their money. With this factor, you can win! ”

But he didn't dare to say it, at least not in this scene.

Emperor Chongzhen also heard what Zu Dashou meant, and said that if Guan Ning organized a battle, I am afraid that there would be more defeats and fewer victories. Thinking so, he fell silent.

After a long while, Emperor Chongzhen explained to Zu Dashou and said: "Qing and compile the tactics of Jianyu into a book, and it is best to attach specific battle columns. It must be done before the new army is formed. ”

"Yes!" Zu Dashou immediately agreed, for him, this matter is not difficult.

Emperor Chongzhen then turned his head to look at Mao Yuanyi, and also instructed him: "Mao Qing's training plan, I have to change it and add some content. ”
