On July 29, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Huang Shi led the fire-fighting battalion into Guiyang City. This entry ceremony was more grand than the one in Beijing. In addition to drums, the military instruments currently produced by the fire-fighting camp include flutes and brass horns. Right behind Huangshi, the fire-fighting camp also has specialized commanders who wave their ceremonial sticks up and down in a certain rhythm to direct the music that follows. hand. When the entire battalion of officers and soldiers walked into the gate of Guiyang in the sound of military music, they were flanked by cheering people in the southwest. Now the news that Huangshi's army arrived from Fujian in less than three months has spread throughout the city. Historically, the Zhejiang troops transferred from the south to Liaodong took more than half a year with the support of the Grand Canal, while the powerful white-pole troops from the southwest took almost three years to reach the north. The fire-fighting battalion's march gave the officials and the people a real feeling as if they had arrived with wings. Of course, they didn't know that Huangshi had spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on just the fire-fighting battalion. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Military mobilization over such distances in the past, even for the elite troops, took about a year; but to those ordinary people, a few thousand miles away is already another world. Most people in this era could not imagine such a journey, so word of mouth spread the legend that Huangshi's troops were amazing. But whether people with or without concepts are vaguely aware of one thing, the marching speed of the army has a great relationship with the eliteness of the troops. From ancient times to the present, it seems that there are very few ragtag groups that can maintain their organization and start a forced march. On the other hand, it is never said that there are troops that can maintain a high march and cannot fight. Before Huang Shi entered Guiyang, he still remembered the situation he encountered the last time he was in Beijing. When faced with the fire-fighting camp, the people who were watching seemed very nervous and unaccustomed. At that time, as the Dongjiang Army entered Beijing, the people in the city also Gradually the hustle and bustle was lost. He just looked at this unprecedented subway army in front of him quietly. There were also many people who cautiously distanced themselves from them. So this time Huang Shi had made arrangements in advance. He had been striding at the front of the team and entered the city gate. Not long after Huang Shi slowly raised his right arm parallel to his upper body, he took a deep breath and waved his fist. While leading the whole army in shouting in unison: "We must bring peace to the bandits and the people!" "We must bring peace to the bandits and the people!" "We must bring peace to the bandits and the people!" The officers and soldiers of the whole battalion were shouting loudly in Mandarin as they moved forward in unison as they had rehearsed in advance. Chanting As early as I walked to the Fire Fighting Camp and Huangshi in front of the Guiyang official office, I was once again surrounded by enthusiastic people. Their experiences were worse than the last time they were in Beijing. For example, the unlucky Boss Li Gen. Now that he is the Boss, his nose was smashed again. This time, what came over was a bunch of copper coins. . After finally squeezing through the crowd and returning to the military camp, Wang Qinian complained as he took off his armor: "I really can't stand these people. They made me sweat profusely and even tore off a piece of tiger skin from my helmet." "This It's a righteous man. A righteous man." Zhang Chengye, who was standing next to him, said with a smile: "You don't want to do this anymore?" " "Of course they are righteous people. That's what I have always said. "Wang Qinian changed into military uniforms as quickly as possible. They had agreed to go to the city for a drink early in the morning. Before going out, Wang Qinian first patted the neat military uniforms again and then untied and tied the helmet straps again. It tightened on the chin: "I mean I have never seen so many volunteers in my entire life. " Zhang Chengye walked out side by side with Wang Qinian and said with emotion: "In fact, our Ming Dynasty is full of volunteers, but they don't often encounter our fire-fighting camps. " When the officers and soldiers of the fire-fighting battalion went to have a drink in Guiyang city, Huang Shi was walking into the Guiyang government office with two internal guards. Now Hong Antong can no longer guard him all the time because Hong Antong's work has become very heavy now. Especially in At this critical time, in order to maintain military discipline, the chief of the gendarmerie, which had all been dispersed to the city, naturally had to go about his own business. Huang Shi was used to this kind of fanaticism in his previous life. We have seen many scenes before - who said our nation is numb? They just haven't encountered the true feelings that are touching. Zhang Heming and Wu Mu are waiting for Huang Shi in the official office. Huang Shi first greeted Zhang Heming. After returning the gift and greetings, Huang Shi then exchanged greetings with Wu Mu, whom he hadn't seen for several months: "Eunuch Wu came all the way to Guiyang. It was really hard work. Wu Mu stroked his chest and smiled: "Huang Shuai is joking, where is our family's hard work?" Start taking the boat from Nanchang. Huang Shuai is really hardworking. " After Huang Shi sat down, Zhang Heming coughed and went directly to the topic: "Everything is forewarned and unforeseen, it will be ruined. Before Huang Shuai arrived in Guiyang, I and Wu Eunuch had already discussed the issue of pacifying the Southwest Rebellion. I am the Southwest Supervisor appointed by the Holy One. I dare not let these 200,000 officers and soldiers be unified and dispatched by me without worrying about the national division;Eunuch Wu was the ambassador sent by the imperial court to supervise the army, so the food, grass and baggage of these four provinces were allocated and distributed by Eunuch Wu. " Zhang Heming said and looked over to Wu Mu. Naturally, Wu Mu had already discussed it with Zhang Heming. He immediately smiled and nodded and said: "Okay, our family will do our best to prevent the frontline soldiers from suffering from hunger and cold. " Zhang Heming and Wu Mu divided the two rights of strategic decision-making and logistical supplies, and then looked at Huangshi again: "Admiral Huang Shuai supervises the military affairs of the four provinces. To defeat the enemy, suppress the rebellion and calm the people, it all depends on Huang Shuai's power. "After finishing speaking, Zhang Heming also bowed his hand to Huang Shi. Huang Shi quickly avoided the table, stood up and thanked him: "I dare not be too serious, sir. This is all the duty of a general. " Huangshi has long known that Zhang Heming and Wu Muhui negotiated such a command structure. Since the closure of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, the military command of the Ming Dynasty has basically been based on this framework. The civilian supervisor is responsible for the overall strategic deployment of the land, and what else The time, place and enemy to fight are all decided by civil servants; the military eunuchs are responsible for the supply of food and grass for the entire army, the release of military pay, and the transportation and distribution of various baggage and weapons; and the specific siege, defense, and troop formation The work of setting up formations and defeating the enemy in field battles is the work of military attach¨¦s. Huang Shi has always felt that if the war can be won in seconds, the civil servants in charge of strategy will be responsible for this system. Since ancient times, China has highly emphasized the decisive role of strategy, especially civilian officials. What's more, people are like iron, and food is like iron. After a victory, the eunuch's credit will naturally be indispensable; and the military commander's credit will only be calculated based on his head. If he is defeated, then the civil servants will not. Acknowledging the great guiding significance of strategy, the military commander must bear the blame for the defeat, because the military general is the one who specifically directed the battle process. It must be the gang of Qiu Ba who messed up the good plan; if the military general dies in battle, the civilian officials can generally pass the blame. The eunuchs who oversaw the army must have embezzled the armor and military pay, or they did not give the army enough food and grass out of their instinctive habit of harming others, which led to the failure. However, what made Huang Shi very happy was the person in charge of logistics and supplies. It's Wu Mu. In this way, the supply of the Funing Army will be fully guaranteed. It is impossible for Wu Mu to be completely free from corruption, because this is completely inconsistent with the unspoken rules of the Ming Dynasty. Not only the eunuch system, but also the civil service system is waiting for Wu Mu to distribute. But as long as Wu Mu sits in this position, Huang Shi doesn't need to worry that he will be short of his own supplies. Even if Wu Mu is corrupt, he will only embezzle other generals. Although Wu Mu's work burden is not as heavy as Huang Shi's, in fact, his job is not as heavy as Huang Shi's. Life is not easy either. There are many people waiting to share the large amount of food, wages, and supplies for the 200,000 Ming troops in the four provinces. Wu Mu, who is responsible for distributing the cake, not only has to ensure that most civil servants and generals. The easiest job is to eat satisfactorily and not let them eat too much to completely overwhelm the army. Of course, Huang Shi would not dare to do anything less when fighting Wu Mu for corruption. Zhang Heming's big piece of cake. Zhang Heming's only job is to sit safely in Guiyang City and look at the map or to design various strategic plans without looking at the map and then hand them over to Huang Shi for execution. The three men formed the new troika to quell the She'an Rebellion according to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty. Well, a more appropriate metaphor might not be a troika but a horse, a coachman and a guide. It means that the first one to fall off the cliff is the horse, and both of them still have the chance to jump off the car. After the guide Zhang Heming assigned the work, he started to ask the horse's opinion: "Shuai Huang, in your opinion, this chaos in luxury should be done." How to pacify it? " It was a matter of life and death for the horse himself. Of course, Huang Shi cheered up. He told all the thoughts that he had thought about repeatedly along the way: "Mr. Zhang will never think so. The two thieves She Chongming and An Bangyan were at odds with each other. In the past, when the army attacked the Yongning thieves, An Bangyan would either send all his troops out to Shuixi to help or harass the army. If the army besieged the Shuixi thieves, She Chongming would definitely attack from all sides in an effort to save Shui. The bandits from the west restrained Wang Shi and transported grain to the west of the river. Therefore, although Wang Shi stayed here for several years, his efforts were in vain. " Huang Shi paused and looked at Zhang Heming's face. He saw Mr. Zhang immediately fell into deep thought, probably recalling the past war. After a long time, Zhang Heming opened his eyes and said, "Huang Shuai remembers it well, which coincides with my opinion. " Achieving a strategic consensus with Zhang Heming is the first step in discussing strategic issues. Seeing that the first level was passed, Huangshi took a breath and started the second round of clearance activities: "Mr. Zhang, I praised you. I will be stupid and have some random thoughts. I dare to ask Zhang. The boss gave advice. " Zhang Heming twirled his beard and smiled, seeming to be quite satisfied with Huang Shi's performance: "Today, Japan is discussing military affairs openly and honestly, Huang Shuai, but there is no harm in talking. " "Mr. Zhang Mingjian, as long as the army can first cut off one of the Shuixi and Yongning thieves, the other group will not have to worry about it. This is the strategy of divide and conquer. Because the general will think that I am the Ming Dynasty Master.?Take the route to Bozhou (Zunyi), then forcibly cross Chishui, regain Chishuiwei, isolate the north and the south, and then if Mr. Zhang wants to attack Shuixi first, he will attack Shuixi. If he wants to destroy Yongning first, he will destroy Yongning. I wonder what Mr. Zhang thinks? " Zhang Heming stared and turned around and shouted: "Get the map. After the entourage handed over the map, Huang Shi explained his views to Zhang Heming and Wu Mu in detail: "The use of troops in the southwest depends entirely on food and grass. If the food roads are not smooth, even if there are millions of powerful soldiers, they can't do anything." Therefore, the general intends to use Bozhou as a major grain storage camp. Here, our army can rely on the Xiangjiang River to transport grain and soldiers, which is very convenient. ¡± From Zunyi to the west. Along the Chishui River, you can go straight to Chishuiwei. This place is located on the north bank of the Chishui River, like a natural moat. The shape is like a sharp knife inserted into the junction of the rebels, which just separates the Shuixi area and the Yongning area. "Mr. Zhang, Eunuch Wu and I are surrounded by Shuixi and Yongning thieves from all sides. This is Wang Shi's majesty. If the thieves don't move, they will be surrounded from all sides; and the two thieves are inside regardless." Wang Shi attacked from several directions. They can all rely on the geographical advantage to delay the time and then gather their troops to counterattack all the way, leaving the king's division alone outnumbered" What Huangshi is actually talking about is the respective advantages of strategic encirclement and internal operations. It is very similar to the Ming Dynasty's war against Hou Jin Dynasty. The Chongming and Anbangyan alliance also took advantage of their combat power to carry out continuous internal operations to resolve the strangulation on all sides of the Ming Dynasty. In this era, due to the communication methods, coordination on the strategic encirclement network has always been a problem. If the combat power is inferior, it is easy. They were constantly beaten by the enemies on the inside and were defeated one by one. "If my Ming Dynasty King's Division can occupy the Chishui Guards, then my Ming Dynasty will be included. On the other hand, the two thieves She Chongming and An Bangyan were clearly visible to Chishui Guards no matter how they moved outside. Mr. Zhang can choose one first and eliminate the remaining thief, and the remaining thief will be left alone. "After Huang Shi finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Heming with hope and waited for his final decision. From the perspective of a military attache, Huang Shi would definitely dedicate his best plan. Because it was a matter of life and death for him. But Zhang Heming's There are more choices. If the civil servant accepts the military commander's opinion, it is said that he is obedient to the advice. Naturally, he has the courage to win. But even if he does not accept it, he is far-sighted and wise. After a long period of time, Zhang Heming discovered the recklessness of the military commander's plan. After thinking about it, he finally shook his head: "Huang Shuai's words are a bit reckless. The Chishui Guards went deep into the hinterland of Yongning and Shuixi, close to the thieves and close to our border. If we had raised a large army in advance, we would go straight to Bozhou. The two thieves will surely arrive first and once the rebels fortify Hao Shui. Raising troops to Bozhou is just a waste of effort for our division; if we send a group of elite troops straight towards Chishui, even if we succeed temporarily, they will be attacked by two thieves from the north and south. By the time my army reaches Bozhou, the vanguard will be in trouble! "Huang Shi had already thought about the manuscript, so before Zhang Heming finished speaking, he added: "General Zhang has three battalions of elite soldiers, all of them are heroes. General Zhang thought that he could send a battalion straight to Chishui and then pass the Chishui River to help them. By hoarding food and grass, they will be able to resist the large band of thieves until the main force of the King's division arrives. "After listening to Huang Shi's words, Zhang Heming thought for a long time and shook his head again: "The art of war has it that the first is invincible, and the second is victorious. The enemy is now victorious. Now we, the four provinces of the Ming Dynasty, have joined forces with 200,000 kings to attack Shuixi and Yongning. The thieves are so tightly besieged that the situation is so called invincible. Now, all we have to do is wait patiently for the two thieves to reveal their flaws and the enemy will be invincible. " "Mr. Zhang, She Chongming and An Bangyan are both local officials and are related by marriage to the chieftains from the four provinces. I don't know how many rebels will be able to survive this protracted siege." "Huang Shi sounds nice. In fact, he feels that this encirclement network is simply leaking from all sides. Such a large rebel activity area cannot be taken care of by 200,000 Ming troops, not to mention that many of these Ming troops have very suspicious positions. As for Zhang Heming's invincibility, the victory lies with the enemy. Even more so, the 200,000 Ming army deployed on this circular encirclement network is full of flaws. The situation here is the same as that faced by Hou Jin. An Bangyan was surrounded by enemies on all sides, so he had no time to develop in any direction. However, if the two armies faced off for a long time, there was a possibility that the enemy would come out and plunder him at any time. The most fundamental thing was that Zhang Heming's overall strategy was to do nothing and wait for the other party to commit a crime. Fatal mistake. From Huang Shi's point of view, this is simply a matter of waiting and watching to nurture the enemy, not to mention whether you can withstand it when the opponent recharges his energy and charges out. He just sits there so relaxedly in Guiyang City and doesn't maintain any military pressure. So what happens to the opponent? Is there a possible flaw? At this time, Zhang Heming was still looking down at the map and almost fell on the table. Wu Mu wanted to help Huang Shi and muttered: "I don't know the water volume of the Xiangjiang River or the water of the Chishui River. How many soldiers and horses can the force support in combat? Huang Shi glanced at Wu Mu gratefully and said to Zhang Heming who was still observing the map: "I would like to teach Eunuch Wu to know that the water volume of the Xiang River is large enough to accumulate tens of thousands of troops within a month." And ChishuiThe amount of water in the river is not small either. It can support at least three thousand people in combat. "Wu Mu said loudly: "This will put our family at ease. " At this time, Zhang Heming was still frowning and staring at the Chishui Guard on the map. His long snow-white beard was also dragged on the table. After a long, long time, Zhang Heming raised his head and said seriously: "After all, it is not appropriate to take risks. " Seeing that Huang Shi wanted to argue again, Zhang Heming waved his hand and said: "I understand Huang Shuai's desire to serve the country very well, but in my opinion, if he decides to attack Chishui Guards. It would be best to gather the army in Bozhou to gather supplies and then defeat it in one fell swoop. " " Mr. Zhang's gathering of officers and soldiers from four provinces in Bozhou will definitely take a long time, even more than three months. Yongning and Shuixi are only a few days away from the Chishui Guards. After the officers and soldiers gathered in Bozhou, the defense of the Chishui rebels has been consolidated. It may not be easy to capture Chishui. " "Then it depends on Huang Shuai's bravery. If Huang Shuai can't attack Chishui Guards, then I'm afraid no one in the world can do it. " "Mr. Zhang's art of war has a saying of avoiding the real and attacking the weak. Now our Ming army has gathered in Guiyang, Weiqing and other places. Anbangyan's main force is attracted here, and She Chongming is also restrained in the northwest by the Sichuan army and the army. The general believes that it is better to attack Chishui now with surprise troops, and he will definitely succeed. The rebel soldiers were shocked to realize that it would take more than ten days to rush back to Chishui. At this time, our army's city had already consolidated enough food and supplies, and we were sure to win. " "There is no guarantee of victory in the world. Huang Shuai made a big statement. " Mr. Zhang blames the general for being arrogant, but nine out of ten will win." " "It's not a perfect solution! Zhang Heming slowly sat back on his chair and shook his head: "The only way to be invincible is to wait for the enemy to be victorious." " "Mr. Zhang" "Okay. Zhang Heming calmly interrupted Huang Shi's urgent defense and taught him sincerely: "Huang Shuai is not a soldier who relies on his elders." It's really Huang Shuai, you're too young. Young people are a little frivolous. well. Huang Shuai, you just hate me, but the soldiers are so fierce and the battle is so dangerous that we really can¡¯t control it. " Huang Shi puffed up his mouth and finally bowed to the ground: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your guidance. " In July of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, a censor of the Ming court impeached Yuan Chonghuan for "not saving Korea before, and not saving Jinzhou later. He stopped fighting without fighting, and it was difficult to get angry." The cabinet also believed that Yuan Chonghuan "not saving Jinzhou was an evil spirit." Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan resigned from Liaodong. Tianqi ordered to stop pursuing Yuan Chonghuan's responsibilities during his tenure and rewarded Yuan Chonghuan as the Minister of War. The aftermath of the Ningjin Battle subsided unobtrusively. Yan Mingtai, who began to personally intervene in Liao affairs, immediately sent envoys to reassure the Mongolian ministries and assured them that the Ming Dynasty would never negotiate peace with Hou Jin. After receiving repeated assurances from the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian ministries finally chose to believe that the Karaqin Mongolia, the consistent national policy of the Ming Dynasty, had openly formed an alliance with Hou Jin. And exchanged oaths. However, after receiving Yan Mingtai's guarantee, he sent an envoy to Huang Taiji to announce that the alliance was invalid, and then sent troops with Bayan Mongolia to attack Northern Liaoning and Horqin Mongolia. After only six months, the Jin Dynasty's northern front finally started fighting again. On August 5th, both the Panshi Battalion and the Selective Front Battalion arrived in Guiyang. At the same time, Yangtze River Shipping also transported some weapons produced by Funing Town more than a month ago. Huang Shi picked up a metal cylinder from the box and brushed it against the floor. It stretched and then closed one eye and placed the metal tube in front of the other. It held it with both hands and gently adjusted the length of the metal tube while slowly turning its body to take in all the surrounding scenery. "Very good." Huang Shi took the metal tube out of his eyes and handed it to He Dingyuan who was aside. At the same time, he asked Jia Minghe and others to pick one up from the box: "This thing is called a telescope." Huang Shi taught them how to use the telescope one by one and let his subordinates try to use it to see the surrounding scenery: "If you feel that you can't see clearly, gently stretch it or shorten it until you can see what you want to see clearly." He Dingyuan opened his mouth slightly, closed his left eye tightly and looked into the telescope without saying a word. After watching for a while, He Dingyuan suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed a handful in the air in front of him There is no doubt that He Dingyuan missed everything. After He Dingyuan put down the telescope with his other hand, he lowered his head and looked at his empty hand. The hand was still clenched into a fist and hanging in the air: "It's really like it's right in front of you. Those mountains, The trees and birds seemed to be within reach." Several other people also put down their binoculars one after another, and their faces were full of surprise. Pu Guanshui, the battalion deputy of the Selected Front Battalion, was the first to speak: "Commander, this thing is really a weapon for the military and the country. It can be worth hundreds of exploring horses!" "Even the last general sees it this way." Jia Minghe said and raised the telescope again. While looking at it, he praised: "In the past, if there was anyone in the woods and grass so far away, I couldn't see it. If the detective horse approached, the thieves would probably shrink back into the grass."?It can't be discovered by accident. Now with this thing, the enemy soldiers have nowhere to hide. " "Well unless they have been hiding in the grass, but then they can't see anything. "He Dingyuan raised the telescope again after hearing what Jia Minghe said. He looked at the woods and then turned around to look at his own military flag: "Commander, after you have this telescope. Our military's flags can also be heard several miles away, which is indeed a good thing. " "Okay, put all the telescopes back into the box first. "Huang Shi ordered his subordinates to put back all the equipment in their hands. This time, Funing Town shipped a total of ten telescopes to Huang Shi. Huang Shi had not yet figured out how to distribute these precious materials, but there was one There is no doubt about the purpose. In addition to the telescopes sent from the rear, Huangshi also received a batch of other boxes. But now he is in a hurry to do something, so he can only open it after he comes back. Zhang Heming held another meeting after the Tianxuan camp arrived. Troika meeting, but he still wanted to concentrate Huangshi's three battalions in Guiyang to take measures. According to Zhang Heming, with the arrival of Huangshi, the number of rebels in front of Weiqing increased, so the pressure on Guiyang increased again. Naturally, the fierce generals still wanted to stay in Guiyang to prepare for the enemy's attack. But in Huang Shi's view, this was simply a reactionary behavior by his opponent due to the stimulation of his own army, so he once again proposed a surprise attack on Chishui Guards to take advantage of the rebels' attention. When they were attracted to the north and south wings, they were cut in one fell swoop. At the last meeting, Zhang Heming seemed to be slightly moved due to Huang Shidi's repeated requests, so he suggested convening the main Ming army generals to discuss this, but Huang Shi gathered in the southwest and firmly opposed this idea. There are too many chieftain generals in the Ming army. Huang Shi has always been skeptical of their loyalty. In the past, there have been many cases of chieftain troops defecting on the battlefield. I believe there are many people who secretly informed An Bangyan. Huang Shi was busy with his official duties. Later, he came to visit Zhang Heming. The minister also carried a best-quality telescope in his hand. This gift looked very good. Zhang Heming couldn't put it down and stood in the yard looking at the telescope with great interest. He left the yellow stone aside to dry for a long time. Zhang Heming put down the telescope and sighed sincerely: "Hongyi still has a lot of good things that our Ming Dynasty can learn from. " Then Old Man Zhang lowered his head and fiddled with the telescope in his hand. Suddenly he raised his head and asked eagerly: "Is this what Huang Shuai bought from Hongyi or is it produced by us? " "Reply to Mr. Zhang, he is the last general" Huang Shi briefly introduced Desmond and told Zhang Heming that this Dutchman had joined the Ming Dynasty's military and that he was a technical guide in Funing Town. This telescope is from the lens to the casing. They are all made by craftsmen in Funing Town. ¡°It¡¯s good that such military weapons cannot be controlled by Hong Yi after all. In my opinion, this telescope should be promoted in various military towns of the Ming Dynasty. Only after the Ministry of Industry in the two capitals and various military towns can manufacture it can this telescope truly become a weapon of our Ming Dynasty. " Zhang Heming pondered for a moment and then added: "Old Man Huang Shuai has seen the Hongyi Cannon, which is also amazingly powerful. As the commander of Fujian, you should usually send more people to spy on Hongyi to see if they have any other good things. We can either buy or learn them, and in short, we must become my Ming Dynasty. " "Back to Mr. Zhang, the general's military town has recruited several Taixi people. In addition to the telescope and the cannon maker's skills in making Hongyi cannons, Funing Town also knows some" Once the war starts, sooner or later it will be overthrown. Zhang Heming felt that there was no need for Huang Shi to avoid taboos, so he also talked about the situation of Duncan and others. Zhang Heming twisted his beard and smiled: "Learning from each other's strengths has been the best strategy since ancient times. Barbarians are in our country. It also has the effect of attacking jade. I am deeply gratified that Huang Shuai has such a broad mind in fighting barbarians all his life. " " Mr. Zhang is ridiculously complimentary. " After Huang Shi was humble, there was a moment of silence between the two. Zhang Heming looked Huang Shi up and down again and then walked to the pavilion in the backyard: "Huang Shuai, please come with me. I have something on my mind that I want to talk to Huang Shuai. " When no one was around, Zhang Heming asked calmly: "What does Huang Shuai think of Wang Huazhen? " Huang Shi was stunned and then leaned down and said: "Mr. Zhang. I am a minister of the state. If Mr. Zhang inquires about this issue as Minister of War, I will speak out. But if Mr. Zhang asks in private, I will have been favored by the prince and do not want to speak out. " After hearing this, Zhang Heming nodded repeatedly for a long time before sighing softly: "That's good. Then Zhang Heming suddenly raised his voice again: "What does Huang Shuai think of Sun Chengzong?" "Huang Shi leaned over again, cupped his hands and replied in a deep voice: "Return to Mr. Zhang. Mr. Sun Ge has a broad mind and is a true gentleman. He is also a real man and has received the kindness of Mr. Sun Ge from his acquaintance. I dare not forget this for a day. " Zhang Heming smiled slightly after hearing this. It seemed that Huang Shidi's answer was exactly what he expected. Zhang Heming lifted up his official uniform and sat on the balcony.On the bench on the ground, they both touched their sleeves and said, "Sit down, Huang Shi." "Thank you, Mr. Zhang." "In the future, you and I won't need to mention the word "sir" when we meet in private." "Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Wait for Huang Shi to sit down. After getting off, Zhang Heming said in a calm tone: "Wang Huazhen was originally a talented person but he went astray. Oh, it's really sad. Well, it was Xiong Tingbi who killed him. Xiong Tingbi really deserves to die!" Zhang Heming was the presiding judge in the Guangning fiasco that year. Huang Shi was thinking about what to do. When Zhang Heming responded, he just paused and said again: "I recommended Wang Huazhen back then. Although he failed the country, he had a good heart for the country. The fact that he promoted you and Marshal Mao is enough to prove it. That's right." "That's what Mr. Zhang said," Huang Shi lowered his head and agreed softly. "Sun Chengzong is also Huangshi recommended by me -" Zhang Heming called out in a deep voice. Huang Shi also raised his head when he heard the sound. Zhang Heming looked over seriously: "Huang Shi, you are from our Donglin!" "Mr. Zhang is talking about the final general. Of course you are from Donglin. " "I have been paying attention to you for a long time. You and Mao Shuai are both true to their roots and are determined not to build a shrine for Wei Zhongxian. This is a good indication that you are pure and loyal by nature." Zhang Heming will definitely not build a shrine for Wei Zhongxian. He also tried his best to prevent the people around him from setting up a shrine for Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian, an old man in his seventies, had no control over him and felt no need to fight with a half-buried old man, so he left it alone. "The Nanjing Mint was unjustly accused and wanted to take the opportunity to frame Zhongliang. Although I vowed to fight with them to the death, I also felt that I was alone and alone. I was very moved by the fact that Huang Shi came forward at that time." "Mr. Zhang is really commendable." Huang Shi felt sweat breaking out on his forehead. He thought it was fair to praise himself for not building a shrine to Wei Zhongxian, but the Nanjing Mint Case was not an unjust case from beginning to end. The Donglin Party's coins were widely rejected by southern people, severely damaging the country's credit. Huangshi had also seen that the quality of those coins was extremely poor. I remember that Liu Qingyang commented to Huang Shi at that time: This kind of "real" money is not completely without benefits. If the Donglin Party is allowed to mint it, it will definitely bankrupt all those who make counterfeit money and completely eliminate all counterfeit money in the Ming Dynasty. And Zhang Heming's so-called "fighting to the death" cannot explain anything else except that he is a die-hard and veteran Donglin Party stick. In fact, both Huang Shi and Liu Qingyang did not know that in history, after the Donglin Party returned to power, the coins of the Chongzhen Dynasty were the worst batch of copper coins minted in the history of the Ming Dynasty. They were said to be blacker than lead and thinner than paper. After a series of serious rejections, the Donglin Party also used state violence to force merchants to subscribe for "real" money. As soon as they heard that the imperial court minted more money, merchants in Beijing would flee the city in droves until the news passed. Come back and do business. "Huangshi, I understand your eagerness to perform meritorious service, but there is a saying in the art of war: arrogant soldiers will be defeated. I don't let you go to war because I care about you." "That's what Mr. Zhang said." "There is a saying in the art of war: who is the soldier? Training? Which one counts more? I know the outcome from this. Huangshi¡¯s soldiers are very good, but they are too impatient, so I must count them again and again.¡± "There is a saying in the art of war: Those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens, and those who are good at defending are hidden under the nine earths They are as immobile as mountains and move like thunder! So Huangshi, you must be calm and don't act recklessly." "Old Zhang" "The art of war." Youyun:" "Zhang" After educating Huang Shi, Zhang Heming took a deep breath: "Huang Shi, if you can promise me three things, I will let you attack." Huang Shi regained his energy and quickly raised his head and said: "Mr. Zhang, please speak." Zhang Heming stretched out a finger: "You can't drink alcohol after the first troops are sent out." Huang Shi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and laughed: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I will be able to do it!" Another finger: "Secondly, don't be greedy for success. Think twice before doing anything." "You will be able to do it!" Huang Shi nodded without hesitation. Zhang Heming also raised his third finger: "You must listen carefully to the last point. I want you to go to Bozhou to set up camp and establish deep roots to strengthen your base. First, you must be invincible; then, multiple detectives must confirm that the enemy is not prepared. Can you do this to defeat the enemy later?" "Zhang Laogao will definitely do this when he sees the end," Huang Shi agreed solemnly. Zhang Heming twisted his beard for a long time and seemed a little uneasy, so he added again: "The Art of War says that people cannot be resurrected after death, and a country cannot survive after death. Huang Shi, if you listen to my words, you will be safe and secure." Huang Shi stood up and gave Zhang Heming a deep sigh. bow handsHolding his fists, he said loudly: "General Zhang's good advice will be kept in mind. When the general arrives in Bozhou, he must first conduct reconnaissance and reconfirm that the enemy is indeed unprepared before sending troops to defend Chishui." "Okay" Zhang Heming shouted and followed. Xu smiled and said: "You can go then But if the enemy has no chance to take advantage of Huangshi, you must not advance rashly." "I will obey the order." Finally getting out of Zhang Heming's endless verbosity, Huangshi felt that he could breathe a little easier. . After bidding farewell to Zhang Heming, Huang Shi trotted back to his camp and immediately summoned his subordinates for an emergency military meeting. Zhang Heming will consider dispatching other Ming troops after receiving further reports from Huangshi. In addition to his direct lineage, Huang Shi could now command two battalions from Guiyang City and gave them to him to command. "Soldier Jia Minghe and the Selected Front Battalion continue to rest. I will lead the Fire Battalion, Panshi Battalion and Guiyang's 4,000 officers and soldiers tonight to the Bozhou Construction Camp and request Eunuch Wu to allocate grain and grass. He Dingyuan will wait for the first batch of grain and grass to arrive. Immediately command Panshi Battalion to cross Chishui to conduct large-scale fire reconnaissance towards Chishui Guards.¡±
