Jiang Wan missed Zhou Jue and the staff room when he was in Yan'an Mansion.
They were a group of scholars recruited locally in Shaanxi. Because of war, famine, and various reasons, they gathered under his command to serve him.
To be honest, there was a group of scholars who helped him, whether it was resettling the refugees, making suggestions, or even writing notices in the military, and recruiting military morale. The power exerted by these scholars was far beyond what a few brave generals could do.
It is a pity that Zhou Jue is now the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, and those scholars who were in the staff room quickly joined the local government after the pacification of Shaanxi. In this matter, he is even quite supportive.
.
These people are scholars, but they have personally experienced wars and famines. When governing the people, they naturally feel the same way. Compared with those scholars who have no experience in the imperial examination, they are much better as local officials.
.
Secondly, although the magistrate Zhou Jue has the largest official position in front of these people, none of them have Jiang Wan's imprint on them. In the officialdom, these people are Jiang Wan's help and help to themselves.
, Jiang Wan will certainly try his best to support him.
Of course, the result of the support was that now that he came to Phi Island, he didn't even have a basic think tank around him. None of his close friends came from a scholar's background. Phi Island has been in civil strife for a year, and the plague has been raging recently.
Even if there were a few military scholars, I'm afraid they would have run away long ago.
This made Jiang Wan a little distressed.
When Jiang Yanran was around, she could still chat with Jiang Yanran for a few words. Although Jiang Yanran was not a scholar, she had a clear vision. After being baptized by the explosion of information, she would always have some opinions that would make Jiang Wan's eyes pop.
Bright.
But now Jiang Yanran has happily left with his group of captives to build her great cause of overlord of the Seven Seas.
All military strategies can now only be pondered by Jiang Wan alone, and he can make decisions by verifying the intelligence from all parties.
At this time, not even the closest guards dared to disturb him.
Li Zicheng was thirty steps away from the Chinese army when he was stopped by Jiang Wan's personal guards. Hearing that Li Zicheng had no urgent military intelligence report, the personal guards decisively asked Li Zicheng to go back.
"The commander-in-chief is planning a military plan. If General Li has nothing to do, please don't disturb the commander-in-chief!"
"Did the commander-in-chief not let anyone disturb you?" Li Zicheng asked with a smile. The guards around Jiang Wan all knew that this was Jiang Wan's favorite general, and their attitude towards him was naturally towards their own people.
manner.
"That's not true!" The guard shook his head.
"Then it's okay. You go and pass the message and tell me that I'm here to challenge you!" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "If the commander blames you, just blame it on me. Just tell me to drink a few more drinks..."
"Let him in!"
Jiang Wan's voice came from the Chinese army's tent: "He's not the first one anyway!"
"What did the commander mean when he said I wasn't the first?" Li Zicheng walked into the tent with a smile and saw Jiang Wan sitting at the table, looking at a map.
He diligently poured a cup of tea from the table and handed it to Jiang Wan: "Commander, drink tea!"
"You are not the first one, but Zhang Zhulin, Tan Chun and others have also been here. I guess you are also here for this matter!" Jiang Wan didn't even raise his head: "There are more than two hundred pairs of armor in total, all of them are rewarded.
I’ll give it to Kong Youde. If the others are for personal use by guerrillas and above, go to Mei Xiaofei’s place to report, and when the next batch of goods comes out, you’ll have your share!”
"Oh, this is such a thing!" Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Since the commander-in-chief said so, I won't mention it anymore. Anyway, if there are good things, the commander-in-chief will always think of me, right?"
"Come to invite a fight?"
Jiang Wan raised his head: "You are not the first to come and challenge me!"
"I just feel that the morale of our army is so high right now. It would be such a waste if we don't take advantage of this opportunity!" Li Zicheng said, "Otherwise, let's capture this ruined military fort tonight. I only need the artillery team to help me in the barracks."
, I will capture this city for the commander-in-chief!"
"The personal barracks are to protect the Chinese army. If you want to seize the city for me, then I have to go into battle myself!" Jiang Wan said angrily: "Stay peacefully, you will fight the battle!"
While the two were talking, someone reported something at the door. Jiang Wan responded, and a guard came in and handed Jiang Wan some papers.
Jiang Wan took the papers, looked at them a few times, then picked up a pen and made a few notes on the map in front of him.
"Commander, what are you looking at?" Li Zicheng leaned forward curiously. This was him. Another general would never dare to do this action so naturally.
"Tatar reinforcements!" Jiang Wan said in a deep voice, pointing to a place on the map: "This is coming a bit fast. They should be at this location yesterday, but now they are less than a hundred miles away from us! They are really all there.
It’s the cavalry, rushing thousands of miles to help!”
"Our hometown is almost gone, so they are naturally panicking!" Li Zicheng chuckled and said, "How about our army march forward again?"
"It's very good here!" Jiang Wan shook his head: "This is the first time that our soldiers and horses from the Ming Dynasty have come to Panjiakou in these years. For me, it is enough. As for what to say about going straight to Huanglong?
The words are just for me to boost morale, how can Sheng Jing be so easy to fight!"
Seeing the inquiring look on Li Zicheng's face, Jiang Wan nodded with his finger on the table: "There are almost more than 8,000 people in the two military forts of Panjiakou and Malanyu. This does not include the number of people from Shengli since our arrival.
The soldiers and horses recruited from Beijing, and Wei Qi explained that in Shengjing, there are at least a dozen Niulu elite soldiers of the Eight Banners stationed in Shengjing. Even if they are five thousand, these people alone are enough to give us a headache!
"
"They're just like us, so what's there to be afraid of?" Li Zicheng said recklessly.
"But none of us can afford it!" Jiang Wan shook his head: "Our food is sent from Pyongyang to Zhenjiang Fort, and then from Zhenjiang Fort to here. This food road is too long, and
, the enemy's reinforcements are already close at hand. Once they arrive, even if they don't attack from the front and back with the enemy troops in front, we won't be able to bear just cutting off our food route!"
He sighed: "The weather is getting colder and colder. It will snow soon. The army is cold and hungry, but it won't last for a few days!"
"How many reinforcements are there?" Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and then asked slowly: "Can you eat them? It's much more cost-effective to eat them than to attack this dilapidated military fortress in front of you!"
Jiang Wan laughed: "Why do you think I am here to besiege instead of attack? If I want to leave, I will naturally have to dig a piece of their flesh before I leave. Could it be that our army is here, waiting for the Tatar army?
