Authoritarianism means sitting alone in the room, saying a word, and starting a war. Zhang Ning sat in a "wheelchair" and said something to Zhu Heng, Liang Yan, Wei Bin and others outside the door.
Listening, he decided to make a decision to increase troops to Jiujiang Prefecture. No meeting is needed, and the decision-making power is completely in the hands of one person. Usually, there are many times when a staff gathers together to discuss, but it is just to brainstorm for the final decision.
Such dictatorship | politics is currently working well. Xiangwang Group is in a steady rise stage, and its strength is rapidly expanding predictably; usually interest groups are very centripetal during the rise period, and many problems can be expanded by wealth and strength.
Digestion, members consciously or unconsciously play a positive role in common goals.
Zhang Ning's unique character also embellished the essence of dictatorship. His usual attitude was humble and gentle, which was quite consistent with the gentleman tastes of scholars and officials. Zhu Heng and Liang Yan and others have been comforted by Zhang Ning's words and deeds many times, and everyone is willing to watch it.
To a dictator, you have such a posture; of course, all this is based on a series of comprehensive forces such as prestige, achievement, identity, and strength.
With Zhang Ning's character, he would rather see the people below obey willingly, rather than threatening and intimidating. The creatures instinctively feel awe of powerful things. Although Wei Bin and others outside the door were not in sight,
But it can be concluded that they all stand respectfully and will never show disrespect... After achieving the success of defeating more than five times the enemy several times, and the territory expands rapidly, it will be easy to establish authority after it expands rapidly, and then expands rapidly.
.
The main force of Yongding Camp dispatched this time is controlled by Zhu Heng, and Zhang Ning will not leave Wuchang City.
He jumped out of the pavilion in a fire and had his right leg broken. Although it was not too serious, it would not be possible to recover after one or two months. Someone made a "wheelchair" for him, but he could not be like a modern wheelchair.
If you can move by yourself, you need someone to help you promote it... it is a bit similar to the small car that Zhuge Kongming was riding on.
With such physical condition, Zhang Ning felt that he would become a burden to the army, so he simply handed over the power to Zhu Heng.
The Senate Department has begun to work on many military transfers, sending people to contact the garrison of Jiujiang Prefecture, preparing supplies, food and grass, etc. It is planned to dispatch the first army, the second army, and the third army of Yongding Camp. After the reorganization of the Zhuque Army, the battalion will be compared.
Large, one battalion established four armies; one army was divided into three posts (three divisions of the battalion branch management organization), and the following posts were brigades. However, after the expansion of the system, the number of soldiers did not have time to replenish the full amount, and the three armies of Yongdingying Camp in Jiujiang Prefecture were added.
The number of horses was only more than 7,000, and the additional cavalry regiment was 2,000; the number of civilians and men was mobilized was entrusted with tens of thousands of powerful men and horses.
There is no secret to military operations. Emperor Jianwen’s “edict” that local officials along the way prepared food, supplies and men, which were well known to passers-by; the soldiers and horses gathered outside Wuchang City, and the noise of the artillery test was as loud as thunder. There were soldiers and soldiers everywhere on the road.
.This time, the large-scale equipment of the Suzaku Army was replaced by a bird gun, equipped with more than 30 heavy long-barrel field guns, the gun body weighed nearly a thousand kilograms, and the materials were mainly copper and cast iron, and solid iron balls weighing seven to eight kilograms and wood
The rangefinder and gun gutter have also been slightly modified and improved.
However, the marching route was too long, and the troops could not be put on the battlefield in time as expected. At the end of the first month, Yongding Camp was still halfway through, and it was known that Jiujiang City was captured by the government army.
Previously, Nanjing first transferred the navy from Poyang Lake to the Yangtze River, but was defeated by the navy from the imperial government's army from all over the country. The navy of the Han King retreated to the mouth of the lake in Poyang Lake in a hurry. Then the imperial court Shenji camp Youye,
The left and right whistles crossed the river in large numbers from a ferry that was almost unprepared, and another small-scale battle occurred on the banks of the river, defeating the Han Wang army that came to block the Jiujiang Prefecture.
A few days later, the three armies of Shenjiying captured Wuchang City. Then the Han King transferred a group of troops from Nanzhili to cross the mouth of Poyang Lake, fought with Shenjiying, and was defeated.
The observer of the Zhuque Army envoy in Jiujiang Prefecture reported a reply, which described the combat situation in Jiujiang Prefecture. The Han Wang Army was unable to use the firearm formation and was hit in the front by the three-stage strike formation of Shenji Camp.
The article briefly describes the three-stage attack tactics of the Shenji Camp, which is very different from the formation of the Suzaku Army. The Shenji Camp's firearm array is mainly deployed in a linear sequence, and the first row is responsible for firing and firing. After the shooting, the convex gun is used.
Hand over to the soldiers in the second row and exchange the loaded firearms; the second row hand over the empty guns to the third row and exchange the loaded firearms; the third row loads ammunition. In this way, the infantry in the first row will only be
Responsible for firing, not loading, and death will be made up by the people behind. The division of labor is clear, military discipline is purged, and they are all military households who have experienced many battles. The formation and tactics used are not much different from before.
No wonder the Han Wang Army is not an opponent. Most of the troops fighting in Jiujiang Prefecture are from local military households, and there are few people who have used firearms. From generals to soldiers, they are not familiar with this new tactic and have not been able to train to adapt to the battlefield.
Tactics.
Most of the Han King's army who came from Nanzhili had to be forced back to Hukou after the defeat of the front army; the official army was attacked by the Xiang King's army Yongding camp in the west and was restrained to the western front.
The reinforcements escaped the catastrophe.
In early February, the main force of Yongding Camp occupied Ruichang City west of Jiujiang City. Zhu Heng decided to quickly defeat Shenji Camp and recover Jiujiang Prefecture; in the hope of removing the imperial army's stronghold on the south bank before most of the Jing Camp reached the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Zhu Heng sent a secret envoy to Hukou area in advance to contact the main force of the Han King reinforcements, reached a temporary alliance to jointly deal with the official army of Jiujiang Prefecture. Then, using Ruichang City as the base camp, preparing to fight with the official army.
The three armies of Shenji Camp have about 30,000 people, and the main force that crossed the Yangtze River is not 30,000 or 20,000. Zhu Heng did not want to take the initiative to attack the city. Shenji Camp will have a advantage in the battle against the city; of course he is not willing to be in Rui.
Changcheng and Shenji Camp confront each other, and delaying time is not beneficial, so Zhu Heng intends to find an opportunity to fight in the field.
The strategy he formulated was to advance to the Yangtze River Ferry with the main force and make a gesture of cutting off the connection between Shenji Camp and Jiangbei. Shenji Camp also mainly uses a large amount of firearms and equipment, requiring a large amount of gunpowder and weapons. It may not be able to go to the spot after occupying Jiujiang Prefecture.
To obtain supplies, perhaps there is not enough food and grass, and it needs supplies from Jiangbei. If the Suzaku Army attacks the ferry, it is very likely to induce them to fight on the battlefield near the riverside.
Zhu Hengxian wrote a tactical plan to report to Wuchang with Pegasus. The journey from Jiangxi to Wuchang is about five or six hundred miles away, and he also has to cross a river and water network, but the fast horse messenger can barely arrive in a day and a night.
Communication is relatively fast.
Zhang Ning's reply was "easy to do things", which means that Zhu Heng could do it.
This attitude seems to be not very concerned, but it is not the case. Zhang Ning is under great psychological pressure in every key battle. In the intelligence, the Divine Machinery Battalion is also equipped with imitation of the mesh guns and artillery, which means that the firepower equipment gap has been
It was greatly reduced, and Zhang Ning was not very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp at present; there were also a gap between the troops... War was like gambling, and no one knew the final result; but the consequences of the result were quite serious.
If Yongding Camp was eliminated in the Battle of Jiujiang Prefecture, the consequences would be disastrous. The Suzaku Army would no longer have any troops to fight on the eastern front, and the front line would inevitably be torn apart until it gradually collapsed; the west side also faces great pressure.
.It is foreseeable to be forced to abandon the Yangtze River line and be driven south of Dongting Lake again; and because of the participation of the three major camps of the capital, the power balance of Huguang will be very different from before. Sun Tzu said at the beginning of the article "Soldiers".
, the serious wording of "the way to survive and die" is not alarmist.
Usually, under such psychological pressure, people are worried and anxious and anxious, and measures such as blind intervention will have negative effects on the situation. This is also the disadvantage of autocracy. A person has too much power, but ordinary people are not machines.
It is difficult to be completely rational, easily affected by many factors, and is prone to mistakes.
Zhang Ning also wanted to put forward various opinions on Zhu Heng, and was too concerned and instinctively wanted to instruct various matters. But he finally held back... There were many factors on the battlefield, the right time, place and people,
The commander needs to respond temporarily; only those who understand the situation on the scene can make relatively correct decisions, and remote control commands that are hundreds of miles away may be counterproductive.
He reflected on the establishment alone: Like the situation of the Battle of Yuanshui, if there was a more powerful decision-maker above, interfering with and many constraints from it, it would be hard to imagine whether the Suzaku Army could be able to let go and defeat tens of thousands of official troops.
.
He finally wrote a letter in person: If the Yongdingying Ying strategy was reported without receiving a clear reply from Wuchang, he would default to obtain permission and make temporary decisions, giving Zhu Heng and others greater power.
After that, Zhang Ning approved "I know" in every memorial and no longer expressed his opinion on Yongdingying's strategy. But he asked Xu Wenjun to go to the Senate Department to issue an appointment every day, record all the situations, and always pay attention to the situation in the east.
.
...However, the reaction of Shenji Camp seemed a bit slow. Yongding Camp quickly occupied the Yangtze River Ferry: Xinkaikouji, which prevented the ships and supplies on the river from reaching ashore, but the official troops in Jiujiang City did not move for many days.
Such a situation does not mean that the Shenji Camp was not "scamd". It is because the decision-making efficiency of the official army is completely inferior to that of the Suzaku Army. They are all because of the rigid and solidified command system of the Beijing Camp. The intelligence returned from the secret spies in Jiujiang City.
The officials in the Beijing camp are in power, including the admiral, eunuch, military officer, and chief officer. These people have decentralized power. No one can make decisions alone and are in a state of mutual restraint. They must report to the top of the peak.
To make an active military mobilization, if there is a constraint, you can only go through the military law system step by step, otherwise it will be difficult to coordinate the army.
The stupid power organization structure of the Shenji Camp made Zhu Heng confused at this time and had to wait for the opportunity.
