After sending away the prince, all the worries that belonged to the old Chongzhen were gone! Now Chongzhen belongs completely to Wang Siming.
The soul-traveling thing is quite amazing. Almost at the moment of time-travel, Wang Siming's soul inherited all the memories that originally belonged to Chongzhen like a movie. He inherited the memories, but he did not inherit the feelings. The feelings belonged to the previous person.
He took away all the soul. It was like the body and hard drive of an old computer, and then replaced it with a new hard drive with a system, overwriting the previous system, and the original system disk became
Becomes a storage device.
Since he is now a brand-new Chongzhen, of course he will only be busy with his own affairs. The school hall is the top priority to save his life and must not be delayed. On the afternoon of the prince's departure, Chongzhen rushed to the temporary straw shed in Meishan without stopping.
The auditorium holds classes for students.
Written on the blackboard: No fighting, no fighting if you have enough to eat, no fighting if you can't run away, no fighting if you can't join forces with your allies!
"You must be curious as to why I wrote three no-fights on the blackboard! Isn't it true that large armies march forward without hesitation? How can there be no wars? Indeed, as a sergeant, you must move forward in war and strictly implement the general's orders.
. But as a general, you have to consider whether to fight or not. If you don’t have enough to eat, it will be difficult for your sergeants to keep their fighting spirit. Such battles will be defeated nine times out of ten, unless a miracle happens, but you must not take chances when marching.
Wait for a miracle to happen. What do you mean by not having enough to eat?"
What the Holy Master asked was such an idiot! What does not have enough food mean? Isn’t it just that there is no food to eat and you are hungry? The students below answered this question very easily, and some of them even chuckled.
"You are wrong. When I talk about not having enough food, I do not mean what ordinary people mean by not having enough food. I want you to know when leading the army under what circumstances the soldiers under your command will not have enough food.
I will set a rule for you today. With troops of 2,000 men or less, you must ensure that your sergeants have seven days of food before they can go into battle. If the situation is extremely critical, you must also ensure that your sergeants have three days of food before they can fight.
.If you have less than three days of food storage, you must not start a war. This is your guideline for leading troops. When you go out to lead troops in the future, I will randomly check the implementation at any time."
Logistics management must be quantified. If the food reserve is less than seven days, the morale of the soldiers will be unstable. If the food reserve is less than the red line of three days, problems will definitely occur!
"If you lead an army of 3,000 to 8,000, you must carefully consider the army's food reserves for the next month. When the war situation is tense, it cannot be lower than the red line of fifteen days. If the place where you are stationed cannot satisfy the army's food supply for one month,
It is not a suitable place to be stationed. If you want to find a way to see whether the nearest grain transportation area of the imperial court can reliably deliver grain within half a month, and whether the grain road can be stable, these must be considered carefully. Do you understand?
"
"I understand!"
The students below loudly responded to the emperor’s questions! The assistant teachers invited from the Beijing camp who were listening also shouted out. At first, they didn’t take it seriously, thinking that the emperor didn’t understand warfare at all and was talking nonsense about the art of war.
, but when I heard the requirements mentioned later, I was stunned. His Majesty really knows the military. These requirements for the army's food storage are very reasonable, and some of them are even unexpected by them.
Just kidding, I don’t understand the military, but I do understand management and logistics. I know the concept of safety red lines in logistics.
"How many days of food supply do you think should be considered when bringing more than 8,000 troops?"
"Chief Shan, the student thought we should consider it for two months!"
"Wrong, if you have more than 10,000 troops, you must consider the supply of military rations for at least half a year. You must carefully consider the situation of food production in the garrison and the situation of supplying military rations. A month's supply of food for a real battle is enough!
"
After the students digested it, Chongzhen continued to speak: "What we will talk about below is not to fight if you can't run, and if you can't run, don't fight. This means that you can't lead troops into a dead end when fighting. You have to think about victory as well as defeat, and you have to consider offense or defense.
After encountering a setback, how to preserve your strength and how to get yourself and your soldiers out of trouble safely. Leading troops in battle, how to defeat the enemy, and how to defend the city are the qualities you must possess. But if you are unable to do so, how to retreat in an orderly manner and how not to
It is also a requirement for a qualified general to turn a retreat into a rout and a mad escape. Our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can attack in an orderly manner, but every retreat will turn into a rout. The general can run faster than his soldiers.
The soldiers under his command were in a mess, without any combat power, and suffered heavy casualties when being pursued! All the wars were caused by disorderly retreat, which made the situation uncontrollable! This is the biggest problem for the Ming army at the moment, and it must be solved from you.
Change. From now on, I will not blame you if you cannot win a battle when you lead troops on expeditions, but I will not forgive you if you abandon your troops and run away in confusion. Look at how the soldiers of Hou Jin fought. They have never been defeated?
Weren’t they defeated after entering the pass several times? If they could hold these places in the pass, how could they retreat? But every time they retreated, they did it in an orderly and strategic manner, and they could also fight back from time to time. It was precisely because of them
Only when you can win can you retreat, and you will be in an invincible position!"
After finishing this long speech, the entire hayloft was silent! Zhu Youjian could even hear the heartbeats of the teaching assistants sitting next to him.
The emperor was able to tell the biggest problem in the battle between the Ming army and the Hou Jin army at once. Our Majesty really knows military skills! Even those of them who have been on the battlefield have only just understood the Ming army and the Hou Jin army.
Where exactly is the gap? After so many years of fighting between the two sides, how could Houjin never be defeated? But they have indeed never been defeated. Every time the war encounters a setback, they will retreat to the rear in an orderly manner, so whether they win or lose,
They will not suffer any big losses, but will become stronger and stronger.
The Ming army was different. Every defeat was inevitable, without exception, so it suffered heavy losses and the decline of national power was obvious. Of course, the frontline generals were not entirely to blame for this. The emperor and the court could not accept defeat and could not stop the losses in time.
It is also the main reason, such as the defeat of Songshan that ended this year. It was obvious that Hong Chengchou had been defeated a few months ago, but he was not ordered to quickly retreat from Xingshan Fort to the Ningyuan Shanhaiguan line with his remaining main force.
He died there!
Is there any chance for Hong Chengchou to withdraw? There is definitely a chance. Hong Chengchou is not an ordinary person, and when the war just broke out, the Qing army did not complete the encirclement. There is still correspondence between Xingshan Fort and the imperial court! Facing the Ming army who really wanted to fight to the death
, the Qing army did not have the ability to stay as long as it wanted. The Ming army was not beaten to the point of being unable to fight back. If this were the case, it would not have been able to maintain the Guan-Ningjin line of defense.
How did Zhu Youjian know that the Ming army had this problem? He had guessed! In later generations, he read a description of China's frontal battlefield troops during the War of Resistance, saying that they could charge and fight bravely in their offensive style, and they could also defend their positions.
Under the supervision of the commander, he defended, but when it came time to retreat, it would immediately turn into a rout and become the target of the Japanese army's pursuit and massacre. Drawing inferences from one example, Zhu Youjian could imagine that the Ming army at this time was absolutely peaceful
The defeated army in later generations had exactly the same problem!
