Chapter 076 Beyond Forty-Nine

Ma Gui left, taking with him the remnants of Xin Ai's troops, numbering ten thousand to zero.

Gao Pragmatic has a calm face, neither sad nor happy.

Zhang Bingzhong saw his expressionless face on the side, fearing that he would be dissatisfied with his son Zhang Wanbang's actions just now, so he came closer and said cautiously: "The Ma Association has been on the battlefield for a long time. Since he took the initiative to ask for a fight, everything must be safe...

"

Xie Rong is another name given by the Ming Dynasty to the deputy commander-in-chief. However, it should be noted that Gao Pragmatic calls Ma Gui "Zong Rong", while Zhang Bingzhong calls him "Xie Rong" at this moment. This is related to their identities and who they talk to.

.

As a civil official and a full-power imperial envoy, Gao Pragmatic naturally regarded himself as a superior official, so he called Ma Gui the commander-in-chief, which was a sign of praise.

If Zhang Bingzhong usually met Ma Gui alone, he would definitely call him "Mr. Ma", which was a compliment; but now when he mentioned Ma Gui in front of Gao Pragmatic, he couldn't just give him a "half-level promotion", he could only

To call him Xie Rong honestly is to "discuss the system".

This is like the leader not telling you too many rules, because that makes the leader approachable, but you can't act recklessly in front of the leader, because that's called lack of organizational discipline.

Officialdom has its own set of officialdom, and it has always been like this throughout the ages.

However, Gao Wuzhen doesn't want to talk about this issue now. In his opinion, there shouldn't be much difference between whether Ma Gui goes or not. Especially after meeting with Xin Ai yesterday, he found that Xin Ai's third son, Buri Hatu, is indeed quite interesting.

He is capable, presumably with him by Tumen's side, even Chaterji may not be able to retain this Zasak Tuhan.

If Chataiji cannot keep the Tumen, Ma Gui may not be able to catch up now. At most, he and Chataiji can catch the Tumen's tail.

Of course, it would not be a bad idea to cut off the Tumen's tails. At least in this way, the battle will appear more "real".

As for whether Tumen dares to imitate Xiang Yu and sink the boat, Gao Pragmatic is really not worried at all.

Tumen's previous performance has fully demonstrated his character weaknesses. This guy came to Tumote. Generally speaking, he was fishing in troubled waters. He typically bullied the good and feared the evil, bullied the weak and feared the hard. And the most important thing was that he was too worried about his future.

If there is too much, I don't dare to put all my money into it, for fear that if I lose too much, my position will be jeopardized.

Of course, it is not that Gao Pragmatic cannot understand his mentality. After all, the great Khan of the Chahar tribe is actually a small business now, and his business is in a bleak state, which is not comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty. Even if he loses a little money, he is not afraid of it.

The strength of Chahar's headquarters can only be ranked second in the entire Mongolia. If the losses were greater, who would take him, the Great Khan of Mongolia, seriously? So it was inevitable for Tumen Khan to look forward and backward.

Gao Jingshi said calmly: "Zhang Canrong, I have no doubts about hiring people. Since I let Ma Xiquan go, I won't doubt his ability. To tell you the truth, I have already done all the planning before and after this battle.

But as the saying goes, the great avenue is fifty and the heavenly evolution is forty-nine. Human calculations are inherently exhausted, and the remaining one is nothing more than 'easy'.

‘Easy’ refers to the changes in the number of days. Whether Tumen will be captured with a single move or he will still be able to escape is something that only God can decide, so why should I bother myself?”

The most pragmatic classic is "Yi", which is known all over the world. However, "Yi" has always been a bit mysterious in the eyes of some people. It seems that if you master "Yi", you can cultivate your body and mind, pursue good luck and avoid evil.

Even turning a bad thing into a good one is the most powerful thing.

Who can learn the "Book of Changes"? It's hard to say, but if according to ordinary people's thinking, since the "Book of Changes" is the original book of Gao Pragmatic, the Sixth Number One Scholar, then if he doesn't learn it, I'm afraid no one will

I dare to say that I have learned it well.

So when Gao Pragmatic said this, it was difficult for Zhang Bingzhong to examine this issue from a normal perspective, and his mind basically went to mysticism.

He secretly thought: Yes, Gao Shizhong's original scripture is the "Book of Changes", he can naturally calculate everything accurately, but just like the Bagua array must have a life gate, whether the last glimmer of hope is on Tumen's side is beyond human control.

To decide, it just depends on whether the pictures hit the right spot.

Immediately he said with relief: "The waiter's advice is correct, but I have been worrying too much."

Gao Yongshi was an academic authority in front of him, and there was no need to be humble. He directly accepted this statement and said in turn: "Zhang Canrong, Zhang Shourong, you two, father and son, don't have to think about these things. If you have time, you might as well recall them carefully.

In yesterday's battle, think about the actual combat use of the Wanli Type-1 musket and what other issues need to be paid attention to.

The best thing is to record it in a document and hand it over to the Ministry of War and General Qi. At the same time, if there are any suggestions for improvement, you can also provide them to the Jinghua Gun Factory and let them study and improve them. If this matter is done well, please give your suggestions.

Or the suggestion is practical and feasible, and its contribution is not necessarily as great as taking down the Tumen, do you understand?"

This was the real "tip". Zhang Bingzhong was extremely grateful and nodded in agreement. While Zhang Wanbang was grateful, he also added: "I must recall carefully and think about it carefully in order to live up to the kindness of my servant."

Zhang Wanbang's official position was only to a thousand households, but he was sent to the garrison. He was called "Shou Rong", but he did not reach the level of "general", so he called himself a humble position.

In fact, the size of the garrison positions in the Ming Dynasty varied greatly. For example, the small ones like Zhang Wanbang, who was responsible for the garrison of a certain fort, obviously had a very small jurisdiction, and they only managed one fort; the big ones, like Liu Wei, who was responsible for the garrison in Yidong, Yunnan, had a very large area.

It's so big, it's almost equivalent to half a province.

Therefore, Gao pragmatically calls Zhang Wanbang "Shou Rong" instead of "Qianrong", which is also a polite way of saying something that is flattering. I don't know how far Zhang Wanbang's status lags behind that of Gao Pragmatically, so to be praised by him, of course he has to express his determination.

.

At this time, Han Naji finally took the opportunity and interjected: "Speaking of yesterday's battle, I don't know something, and I would like to ask Zhang Shenrong to give me some advice."

Han Naji's current official position in the Ming Dynasty is that of a commander, and Wu Sanjie is only a third-rank Zhaoyong general, who is only about the same level as Zhang Bingzhong. But obviously Zhang Bingzhong does not dare to really regard Han Naji as his own level - others

He is about to be granted the title of King of Shunyi. How can he compare?

So he quickly said: "Taiji has something to ask about, but please just speak up."

He was an honest man, but very cautious. He knew that Han Naji was a Mongolian after all, so he could not show him that he would "tell everything he knew without leaving anything behind".

But Han Naji didn't seem to think much, and just asked with an incomprehensible look: "Oh, I just can't understand why your hollow square array had to be so thin yesterday, just four rows... Could it be

Couldn't it be thicker? Although we won, if Ma Shenrong (Ma Chengxun) hadn't arrived in time, I saw that this defense line only had four rows of people. If Xin Ai was more courageous, it wouldn't be impossible to break through.

ah!"
