"His Royal Highness Min appreciates it, so there is no reason to reject it." Li Dingguo already knew Liu Zhen's decision, so he went along with the flow and comforted him with gentle words, "His Royal Highness Min is pioneering and enterprising, and he is brave and heroic. Following him is indeed a great achievement."
Chosen. My father led the army to wander in the wild wilderness. I am really in a state of old age and am not as brave as I used to be."
Liu Zhen hesitated for a moment and said: "My foster father is worried about the Lord, but he is not depressed. His Highness Min often said: My foster father is an unrivaled hero. Together with Prince Yanping, he is the greatest figure of this era and a national hero of China."
Hundreds of years later, the heroic names of the adoptive father and Prince Yanping will be sung throughout the ages and will be respected by all."
"Your Highness Min really said that." Li Siye stood aside and remained silent, but at this time he couldn't help but speak before Li Dingguo.
Liu Zhen nodded, looked at Li Dingguo and said: "His Royal Highness really praised my adoptive father very much, saying that only the army commanded by my adoptive father could organize large-scale mobile warfare and annihilation wars, and dared to fight to the death with the Eight Banners powerful force. The adoptive father was famous for both.
The king's battle cases were carefully studied and discussed at the military lectures."
Mentioning his most proud achievement and hearing such high praise, Li Dingguo smiled slightly and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, but - "Lectures on martial arts? This was created by His Highness Min again. What is it and where is it?"
Liu Zhen explained truthfully, turned his head and looked out at the sky, and said, "There is a martial arts meeting tonight. Why don't my adopted father and adopted brother go and have a look?"
"His Royal Highness Min is a member of the royal family, a spoiled man who never leaves home, and what he talks about is just what is in the book. It is useless to listen to it." Li Siye shook his head casually, but was immediately scolded by Li Dingguo.
"There are things in the book, how can you speculate on your own." Li Dingguo was gentle with his adopted son Liu Zhen, but he was stern with his biological son, "How can a father achieve anything if he doesn't read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu?"
.You will be evil when you see a book, and it will be difficult for you to become a great person."
Li Siye's face turned red after being scolded, and he lowered his head and said nothing. Liu Zhen wanted to open his mouth to persuade, but was stopped by Li Dingguo's hand.
After pondering for a moment, Li Dingguo seemed to have made a decision. He raised his head and said, "Since His Highness Min has spoken, there is no harm in going and listening to it. God's gift from heaven must have something amazing to say."
Liu Zhen just said it casually, but he didn't expect that Li Dingguo would actually go. He secretly complained in his heart and muttered: "My foster father is of high status and has a far-reaching reputation. The generals will not dare to lose their etiquette. They are worried, fearing that he will die."
Don’t dare to speak freely——”
Li Dingguo looked at Liu Zhen's troubled expression and couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the problem? I'll hide my face in my father's casual clothes. I'll go a little later and just listen quietly in the back without interrupting."
………….
I am not going to talk about battle examples today. The most important thing is to reverse the current combat strategy of the Ming army generals and fundamentally change the tactics. Also, let’s talk about the benefits of conquering Annan. If you explain it more thoroughly, you will be able to implement the policy more effectively.
Be proactive and be more determined.
Zhu Yongxing flipped through the outline he had drawn up to deepen his impression. He waited until Yang Guoxiang informed him that the time was up, then put down the paper and stepped forward.
By the time Li Dingguo, wearing the clothes of an ordinary officer and half covering his face with his sleeves, entered the venue under the cover of Liu Zhen, Zhu Yongxing had already been talking for a while and did not notice the two men hiding quietly behind.
"...Both views are wrong and unrealistic. One is the theory of inevitable destruction, and the other is the theory of quick victory. The former produces a tendency to compromise, while the latter produces a tendency to underestimate the enemy... The lessons of history have told us that internal strife and division are
It is even more foolish to seek self-destruction and turn your attention from the outside to the inside. It is a stupid thing that makes relatives hate and enemies happy. And the sectarian view is the culprit of all this..."
"...To defeat and eliminate the Tartars, the most important condition is unity. Unite all the armed forces that resist the Qing army, are disciplined, and do not harm the people. Regardless of their previous origins, as long as they have the above
We must sincerely accept the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty and treat them equally, so that the forces gathered under the banner of reviving the Ming Dynasty will become stronger and stronger. To fight against the outside world, we must first settle down the inside. That is bullshit, and it is used as a cover in the name of righteousness.
Traitorous behavior. To put it more seriously, if you do something that the Qing court wants to do but cannot do, and help the Qing court, shouldn't it be called a traitor..."
Li Dingguo frowned, and His Highness Min also swore. Also, isn't this sectarian opinion criticizing himself? Well, His Highness Min didn't see him, so he thought it was because of his feelings, rather than specifically targeting him.
"Times have changed, the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the way of fighting this war should also change. Deep ditches and high forts, layer upon layer of fortifications, and positional warfare that relies exclusively on fortifications are essentially a war of attrition against the superior Qing army.
The final result is very likely that our army will become smaller and weaker the more we fight. Of course, nothing is absolute. This does not mean giving up all important military locations. For some locations, as long as it is beneficial, positional warfare should be deployed. But transformation
The overall strategic policy must still be mobile warfare..." Zhu Yongxing's voice echoed in the hall, and the secretary was writing notes. This will be incorporated into the textbook in the future and will be explained again by others.
I'm good at mobile warfare, but I don't know if it's the same as what His Highness Min said. Li Dingguo touched the beard on his chin and heard some interest.
"...Our main force must be accustomed to fighting on the ever-changing front, rapidly advancing and retreating quickly, concentrating quickly and dispersing quickly, disturbing the enemy, luring the enemy, and exhausting the enemy. The purpose is to be able to fight in a relatively
Concentrate forces in a small area to form a local advantage, and then carry out a war of annihilation."
Zhu Yongxing picked up the white ash block, drew a simple map of Yunnan Province on the blackboard, pointed and said: "Yongchang, Dali, Yao'an, Chuxiong, Kunming... Although the Qing army had a large number of troops, except for the defenders distributed in key points in these cities,
In addition, its mobile strength is actually only 40,000 to 50,000. If it were to be dispatched in a large scale, the money, food and auxiliary troops required would be quite large, and it would not be possible to prepare them completely in a short time. In other words, the Qing army occupied
Most of the Yunnan Province has also thinned its troops. There may be more defenders everywhere, but there are definitely not enough offensive troops. This is a favorable condition for our army. If we are fully prepared, move secretly, and attack fiercely and quickly, we can concentrate our efforts to attack one point.
, there is every hope of success.”
This is true, but how can we achieve speed in the face of a fortified city? Li Dingguo shook his head slightly, feeling that Zhu Yongxing was a bit whimsical and just talking on paper.
"I already have a way to capture the fortified city, but it's not the time to attack the city yet, so I'll keep it secret for now." Zhu Yongxing picked up a small bamboo stick and tapped the map on the blackboard with a smile, "When the time comes, we'll do it.
This long snake built by the Qing army must be cut into several sections, so that the fortified city becomes the prison and tomb of the Qing army."
