"The student Yin Yinglei has met with the emperor, and the grassroots Yin Yinglei has met with all your lords,"
"Student," I didn't react for a moment.
Yin Yinglei explained calmly: "Your Majesty, the student was a Jinshi in the second year of Jiaxi (1238). He was appointed as the governor of Hezhou in the second year of Baoyou (1254). He currently has no official position, so the common people call themselves students. also,"
Yesterday during the court meeting, I did not look carefully at the appearance of the three candidates. Only then did I take a closer look at this person. For some reason, the name of an ancient person suddenly flashed in my mind, Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan, who was known as Fengchu during the Three Kingdoms period. .
All scholars can call themselves students as long as they have achieved academic status, and there is nothing wrong with Yin Yinglei calling himself a student.
I said calmly: "Yin Yinglei, sit down and let's get started."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Yin Yinglei said after sitting down, "Your Majesty, my lords, Yin is a scholar who has no power to tie a chicken. Therefore, if Yin is allowed to take up the post of institutional envoy of Lin'an War Zone, Yin will be They only use tactics to approach the enemy,"
Judging from Yi Yinglei's appearance, it seems to be more exciting than the previous two, maybe this is due to his character.
"The plan will be settled,"
"Your Majesty, if I go on a northern expedition with the army in three years, where will your Majesty prepare the soldiers in the Lin'an Theater to march from?"
After hearing this, I was very happy. This seal should be thunder. No wonder Song Lizong was not happy. This was an interview. I should be asking him. It was better for him to ask about me instead. It seemed to be quite consistent with the rumors. This person had strange thinking. He was bolder than ordinary people, even more courageous than Lu Xin. I smiled and said, "Yin Yinglei, what's the point of this?"
"Your Majesty, of course there are reasons for choosing the offensive route,"
For the Northern Expedition, my initial plan is to attack on multiple fronts and advance simultaneously. With the assistance of the navy, I am also planning to attack the Beijing-Tianjin area. Of course, these are just vague ideas.
"Since His Majesty did not want to make it clear, the students made their own guesses," Yin Yinglei continued when he saw that I was silent. "The students guessed that Your Majesty wanted the soldiers in the Lin'an War Zone to take the waterway from Jingdong East Road (today's Qingzhou, Shandong) Directly north of somewhere north of,"
I was stunned, stared at Yin Yinglei and said: "Jingdong East Road,"
"Exactly, Your Majesty, our navy has obvious advantages. Going ashore from Jingdong East Road and directly attacking the Mongolian hinterland may have unexpected effects,"
"Yin Yinglei, with just tens of thousands of troops in Lin'an War Zone, aren't you afraid of going deep alone and being annihilated by the Mongols?"
"Your Majesty, please continue to guess," Yin Yinglei said with a smile. "With your Majesty's power, you will not send out only one Lin'an war zone, Sichuan, Xiangfan, and Lianghuai. It is possible that your Majesty will fire four arrows at once. Besides, Of course the soldiers in the Lin'an War Zone led by students will not fight head-on with the Mongolian army,"
I had plans to take the water route, but as to whether I would be dispatched to the Lin'an Theater, I had not considered it at all. Subconsciously, I wanted to create a Marine Corps similar to that of later generations.
"What do you want?"
"Your Majesty, of course the students are afraid, but it is useless to be afraid. If Your Majesty gives the important task to the students, then the students will have no choice but to go. The students have thought about it, don't fight hard, fight if you can win, and fight if you can't. There is still a glimmer of opportunity in the way we go,"
"It sounds like guerrilla warfare," I wondered secretly. Could it be that this Yin Ying Lei had contact with the four major equipment envoys?
"Go wherever you go,"
"Your Majesty, the terrain of Jingdong East Road is flat, which is suitable for the scale of the Mongolian cavalry. Naturally, the students will not stay there. They will go west and then west. In fact, the students have not fully thought about it. They just have an intuition. Going west all the way, thousands of miles away. Move to the Taihang Mountains,"
"Taihang Mountains,"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the terrain of Taihang is abrupt and can obviously contain the strengths of the Mongolian cavalry. Our Lin'an war zone is dominated by infantry. We can rely on the danger of Taihang to dominate the mountains. If the Mongols want to destroy our army, they must Surrounded by several times the number of troops, judging from the current strength of the enemy and ours, they are basically evenly matched. The tens of thousands of soldiers in the Lin'an Theater led by the students can at least hold back the enemy's 100,000 troops, which alleviates the pressure of other Northern Expeditionary armies. Under pressure, students only need to persist until I attack all the armies and defeat the enemy, and then fight out from the mountains, cooperate inside and outside, and eliminate the effective strength of the Mongolian army in one fell swoop. In this way, great things can be accomplished,"
Regardless of whether Yin Yinglei's plan was feasible or not, the boldness of the plan alone was enough to shock everyone present. Even Shi Yanzhi, who had rich military experience, felt that Yin Yinglei was bold and couldn't help but secretly praise him for his courage.
You must know that if an army of 40,000 goes deep behind enemy lines, it is very likely to be wiped out. Yin Yinglei's plan is somewhat similar to Liu and Deng's army leaping thousands of miles into the Dabie Mountains, but once they gain a foothold, it is indeed like inserting a bullet into the enemy's heart. A sharp knife.
Lu Xiufu asked: "Mr. Yin, what if the Mongolian army does not come to surround you?"
"Then we will attack everywhere. If we encounter an unguarded city, we will seize it. If there is a large army, we will avoid it. In short, our Lin'an War Zone will appear in the hinterland of the Mongols in the form of bandits or bandits, like a sharp knife. It will turn everything upside down at any time,"
Lu Xiufu blurted out: "Bandits, bandits, isn't this a massive guerrilla war?"
"Guerrilla warfare," Yi Yinglei also showed a look of surprise, "What is guerrilla warfare?"
I smiled and said: "Yin Yinglei, I'm here to ask you. From the seaside, it's a long way to reach the Taihang Mountains. Not to mention the heavy equipment of the troops, even tens of thousands of troops can't easily fight. What do you think? What are your plans?"
"Your Majesty, due to time constraints, the students do not have a comprehensive and detailed plan. However, if they want to fight thousands of miles away, they can only break it into pieces and try their best to travel through the less populated trails. If they encounter weak ones, they will be destroyed, and if they encounter strong ones, they will be bypassed. , and finally gathered at the foot of Taihang Mountain, and then reunited them."
I continued to ask: "Even if it is possible, how can we supply supplies along the way?"
"Your Majesty, the student just said that after entering the north, our war zone existed in the form of rogue bandits, so every Mongolian government, every wealthy Mongolian family, and the wealthy families of the original Jin Kingdom are our granaries,"
"Robbery,"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the same as the early practice of the Mongolian army, which was to fight to support the army,"
This Yin Ying Lei is really a piece of guerrilla material. We have no food or clothing, so the "enemy" comes forward. There are no guns or cannons, and the "enemy" makes them for us.
Fan Wenhuan exclaimed: "This is no different from the behavior of bandits,"
I nodded and said: "Fan Aiqing, the process is not important, the result is what I need. Whether it is a bandit or a regular army, as long as it can complete the task, it is right. Yin Yinglei, there are two major difficulties in your plan. One is how to reach Taihang, and the other is how to survive in the Taihang Mountains after arriving. Regarding these two points, you can give me a detailed plan, no matter who is finally appointed as the envoy of the Lin'an Theater Command, or whether I will send Lin'an Theater Command via waterway. When we go forward, I will study your plan carefully."
"Yes, Your Majesty,"
"Okay, Yin Yinglei, what else do you have to say?"
"Your Majesty, of course, the students just talked about the future tasks of the war zone. Once the goals and tasks are determined, targeted training must be carried out in advance. Although the students have not officially served in the military, they also know that our North Korean infantry For the Lord, this cannot be changed before the Northern Expedition. Therefore, during the battle, the generals of our dynasty must be clearly aware of the situation, assess the situation, make good use of the environment, exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses, and concentrate superior forces to fight a war of annihilation. In this way, Only then can one trade off and the other grow, slowly changing the number of soldiers on both sides, and ultimately forming a situation of more fighting with fewer. If students serve as commanders in war zones, their main focus will be on training generals rather than training troops. , because military training is not what students are good at,”
Lu Xiufu asked: "Mr. Yin, in your opinion, how can we concentrate superior forces?"
"Master Lu, what Yin said is to concentrate superior forces. This does not only refer to military strength. Once the Lin'an war zone goes deep into the enemy's interior, such opportunities can only be found in mobile warfare to create advantages. The victory will be determined in one battle. After the war is over, Then withdraw,"
I praised: "Evacuate a battlefield and then look for the next fighter opportunity again. This cycle repeats, regardless of one point or one aspect,"
"Your Majesty is wise, this is exactly what the student means,"
Lu Xiufu suddenly said: "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue."
"Well," Yin Yinglei thought for a moment and looked at Lu Xiufu, and then sighed after a while, "Master Lu, you are incisive, incisive, and Yin is not as good as him. In the future, Yin will definitely come to ask for advice. I hope Master Lu will not hesitate to give you advice. "
Lu Xiufu smiled and said nothing.
Seeing that Lu Xiufu didn't answer, Yin Yinglei said anxiously: "Mr. Lu, could it be that he looks down on Yin?"
"No, no,"
"That's why,"
"Mr. Yin, because it was not Lu who said this, if there is an opportunity in the future, Lu will definitely introduce you,"
Yin Yinglei cupped his fists and said, "There is such a master in our dynasty. Mr. Lu has taken the trouble to remember it. Yin is grateful."
I saw something was off topic, so I said, "Yin Yinglei, do you have anything to add?"
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, one more thing is that the student union will train a detailed craftsmanship camp. Although the land in the north is the old land of our dynasty, it has been lost for more than a hundred years. Most of the local people were under the rule of the Jin Kingdom or the Mongolia. It grew up under the background, so the student union sent this detailed work camp to return early to find out the local environment in order to adapt. This is very important, and it also needs help from the detailed work departments of the DPRK and China."
"Well, of course there is no problem with this, Yin Yinglei, if you don't have any more, just quit first,"
"Wait, Your Majesty, there is one last thing,"
"Say it,"
"Your Majesty, in addition to the normal training methods of our dynasty, the students in the war zone will also receive training on outdoor survival skills. Otherwise, after arriving in the Taihang Mountains, if they are not killed by the Mongolian soldiers, they will also be tortured by the harsh environment. die,"
This Yin Yinglei was like squeezing out toothpaste, and a little bit came out after a while. I knew that the preparation time given to them was only last night, and many of Yin Yinglei's ideas may have been improvised during the interview.
"Okay, if you have any other ideas, please put them in the memorial. Yin Yinglei, stand down." I didn't give him a chance and said directly, "The next one is Fan Wenhu."
