1911: The Evolution of Fan Chang
Fan Chang lay in a small tent, holding the back of his head with his hands, and slept very sweetly. Since he went to the mountains to wipe out these bandits under the orders of His Highness, he has been worried about these guys like a dad. Fortunately, efforts will always pay off. These guys have grown up amazingly, and what they have learned and practiced in their daily lives and death, and finally put what they have learned into practice. Even the lazy guys have to study and grow hard when facing life and death. There is nothing that can temper people more than war.
I have to say that this group of people is indeed much smarter than the guys from the Second Qualifier. After all, they are all guys with backgrounds, and the education they received since childhood is not comparable to those from ordinary family backgrounds of the Second Qualifier.
A group of people who are already very smart, once they work hard, their growth and progress are really surprising. Fan Chang suddenly missed the brothers of the Second Corps. Now I am afraid that a small-scale contact battle has begun between Ming Qi. Fuyuan Camp is on the front line and must have started working with Qi people. I hope that Zhao Er can take them well and let the vast majority of people survive after the war. It is unrealistic to want everyone to survive. War and life are the most valuable.
After leaving the Second Captain, Fan Chang was very reluctant at first, but after staying for a while, he suddenly discovered that there was another scenery here. Because he was the commander of His Highness's personal guard, he almost followed His Highness to attend all important meetings in Pattaya, which opened his horizons.
War can be like this. When big figures like Ning Zeyuan and Lei Wei talk about war, they are completely different when talking about war with Fan Chang, Qin Yezhu, He Laoyao, and Zhang Huanghuang.
Fan Chang and the others are passionate, passionate, and generous, but Ning Zeyuan Lei Wei and others talk about war. Their calm expressions and indifferent narratives are outrageous. It seems that they are not talking about the life and death of countless people, but are playing a game.
Those macro-strategic planning and the ultimate goal that war needs to be achieved all made Fan Chang receive a huge baptism. He suddenly understood the meaning of a sentence he knew before that a scholar he had told him: there is no hero in civil war, and no justice in national war.
This seems to be true.
Just like the battle he is currently in progress, compared with the Pattaya people, the Ming army was the invaders and the massacres. It was natural that they destroyed their homes and massacres, sell and resist their people wantonly. But for the Ming Dynasty, for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty and to ensure that the Ming Dynasty could defeat the enemy in the subsequent battle, Pattaya must be in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
This is only about interests, not about justice.
At the beginning of thinking about this, Fan Chang was still a little uncomfortable at the beginning. He always thought that his incarnation of justice suddenly had a new position on himself, which made him very frightened for a while, but slowly, he began to adapt. For the Ming people, the interests of the Ming Dynasty were naturally supreme.
If one day those Pattaya people who were plundered to the Ming Dynasty accepted the culture of the Ming Dynasty, assimilated into the Ming people, and became a minority of the Ming Dynasty, then they would naturally enjoy the glory of the Ming Dynasty. Just like the barbarians today, they were also conquered by the Ming Dynasty, but now, they enjoy the same treatment as all other Ming people. Murong Fu thought he was a Ming Dynasty person who was just a fake.
Conquer first, then appease, and then educate. This is the national policy of the Ming Dynasty.
Fan Chang felt that he was a different person now. Although he did not say a word at those military or political meetings, he tried hard to absorb knowledge that was both strange and profound to him. Not everyone had the opportunity to listen to the discussions and plans of future wars and future national policies among these big names.
Ning Zeyuan, Lei Wei and others are not considered the first-class politicians in the Ming Dynasty. Thinking that His Majesty the Emperor would soon arrive in Manila, Fan Chang wished he could see this legend immediately. I think His Majesty’s view is to be further advanced than Ning Zeyuan Lei Wei and others.
He hopes that he can hear His Majesty the Emperor's voice as soon as possible.
A sudden explosion sounded outside, and the entire camp was awakened suddenly. The explosion sounded continuously. The landmines buried outside the camp were trampled on by the unlucky Pattaya people who wanted to sneak attack the camp.
After the explosion, screams mixed with shouts became lively, and gunshots like beans kept ringing. Fan Chang turned over and lay down comfortably. The quiet night would make it difficult for him to fall asleep. Such a lively scene was the best sleeping agent for him. He didn't think his subordinates could not handle such a small scene.
The enemy must struggle hard. They have nowhere to go, but they are unwilling to be beaten to their nests by the Ming people. Then sneak attacks are inevitable. Being able to drive the Ming people out of this jungle has become their greatest luxury. But these people didn't think about it. When the Ming army approached step by step with casualties, they should understand the determination of the Ming people. From that time on, they should start leaving this place immediately. Now, it's too late.
In the initial stage of the outbreak of the war, we must predict the other party's purpose as accurately as possible and judge the extent to which the war will be fought. This is what Fan Chang learned from Ning Zeyuan and others. There is politics first, then there is military. Military is just a continuation of political means. Launching a war without profit is something that only fools will do. Don't believe in anything that sings for street storytellers like Hongyan in anger, it is just something that is interpreted to beautify or ugliness a specific person.
After hearing such things for a lot, Fan Chang felt that he was really a fool in the past. Now, when he thinks about problems and looks at them, he has become distracted by the ideas of those people. Whenever he does something, he will inevitably think about what he will get and what he will lose. What is the ratio between gain and loss, and in the end, the benefit is greater than the loss or the loss is greater than the benefit.
Sometimes Fan Chang is also very conflicted and feels that he is becoming another person.
People like Jianghuai naturally would not have the troubles of Fan Chang, or they have heard of these things since childhood. People who have experienced this need to have a psychological transformation process, but for them, it is as normal as eating and drinking water.
Of course, everything is driven by interests. Otherwise, if you eat enough, you will be beaten to death. Just like now, they are driven by His Highness King Qi to wipe out these bandits. The deeper reason is of course because His Highness needs a group of people who have truly experienced war, bloodshed, and death threats to become his iron-blooded team.
Those generals who are in the limelight are deeply trusted when they are the current Majesty, but in the next generation, can they still call the wind and rain? It is not necessarily true that one emperor and one minister are the eternal truth.
At this moment, Jiang Wei hid himself on a big tree, holding his Ming style 1 in his hand, aiming, shooting, and bombing in an orderly manner. In fact, this camp is now a big trap. When camping, he had already predicted that the Pattaya people would definitely come to attack. Jiang Wei likes this kind of fighting method, set a trap and let the enemy get in. It is easier and more refreshing to fight. It is not like the days ago, when you are trembling as if walking on thin ice. You don’t know when you will fly out of the forest next to you, a javelin, a poisonous arrow, or a guy who has drawn his face strangely, rushing towards you.
If Fan Chang knew about his idea, he would definitely laugh at him. The enemy was not stupid. If it weren't for the desperate situation, how could they do such stupid things? Sneak attacks are basically tricks that the weak play. The strong like the most is to pass by with dignity.
Just like in the Ming Dynasty today, I never used a surprise weapon to highlight this move, but made an open and upright layout. You know what I want to do, but you have to follow my steps. This is the strong man.
For example, Qi State has been here or here in the past few years, but the final result was that it was defeated one by one by the Ming Dynasty, with heavy losses and limited gains. This is a completely unprofitable deal, and it fully demonstrates the strength of the two countries before.
The enemy who was attacking began to retreat. Jiang Wei slipped down from the tree and chased steadily with his comrades behind. The gunshots kept ringing, and the enemy was falling down. Until the sound of the military horn to withdraw the troops rang, they turned around and retreated to the camp.
In the next time, you can probably have a good sleep. Jiang Wei thought easily that he would attack the enemy's nest tomorrow. Under the sharp weapons of the Ming Dynasty, the destruction of the enemy can be counted down.
At dawn, Fan Chang, who had a good sleep, appeared in front of his soldiers in a refreshing spirit. He said nothing, but simply waved his hand and said, "Go away."
The hawks in the army were at the forefront, guarding against possible traps. These people were experts in this field. Although they only slept for a while at dawn last night, Jiang Wei was still very excited because this was the last battle. He seemed to be eager to go back early and take a good bath and change into a refreshing dress to relax himself.
The enemy's nest was on a mountain hidden in the valley, with cliffs on three sides, with only one single road up the mountain. On this only road, they built some village walls to defend.
