Wu Yan was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him.
At this time, Zhu Cihong looked at Wu Yan in front of him and said: "Actually, the situation in Sichuan has always been very bad. Before, Qin Liangyu had tens of thousands of elite men, but by the end of the war, Governor Qin was almost losing his army completely.
I let Huang Degong enter Sichuan, just because I don't want Sichuan to fall into the hands of the enemy so soon! If Sichuan falls into the hands of the enemy at an untimely time, we will not have enough power to resist Zhang Xianzhong.
After Zhang Xianzhong occupied the entire Sichuan, the impact on us was huge, and there was still a Zuozhen in Hubei at that time! In that case, Jiangnan would be in danger!
Therefore, in this case, I asked General Huang Degong to enter Shu just to delay Zhang Xianzhong!"
Zhu Cixiang looked calm and looked at Wu Yan in front of him and said.
"So, from the beginning, my purpose of letting General Huang Degong enter Shu was not to let him recover Shu. Therefore, there was no failure at all!"
Hearing Zhu Cihong's words, Wu Yan nodded with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"If I really want General Huang Degong to regain Shu, how can I let him bring only 10,000 troops into Shu?? Do I look down on Zhang Xianzhong so much??"
Zhu Cixiang's eyes were calm and he said to Wu Yan in front of him.
There was a wry smile in Wu Yan's eyes. He looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and pondered for a moment. He looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said, "Your Highness, do you want to regain the land of Shu now?"
"It's not time yet!"
Zhu Cixiang's face was calm. He smiled slightly, looked at Wu Zong in front of him and said: "Right now, our main goal is still to focus on the Manchu Dynasty. Although this group of slaves still has a lot of power at the moment, they still have a lot of power.
To us, there are already cracks within them.
After I was able to eliminate them, the remaining Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng were just scabies! They will be eliminated sooner or later. If we focus on dealing with Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng now.
That just gave Jiannu a chance to breathe! This is not a good thing!"
As he spoke, Zhu Cixiang looked seriously and said to Wu Yi in front of him.
"Yes! Your Highness is right!"
Wu Yan nodded, with a smile in his eyes and said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him: "Your Highness can see clearly, it seems you don't need me to remind you!"
Zhu Cixi nodded.
"Then His Highness just wants General Huang Degong to involve Zhang Xianzhong?"
"right!"
Zhu Cixiang nodded and said to Wu Yan in front of him.
"As long as Huang Degong and Shi Kefa can contain Zhang Xianzhong, that's all!"
"kindness!"
Wu Di nodded.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, and asked Zhu Cixiang in front of him curiously: "By the way, Your Highness, how is the war at Shanhaiguan?"
“Very intense!”
As he spoke, the corners of Zhu Cixiang's mouth raised slightly, and with a smile on his face he said to Wu Hong in front of him: "The two sides engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle on the road from Jinzhou Prefecture to Shanhaiguan, which was much more tragic than the previous battle in Shanhaiguan!
It seems that Hauge may not be able to hold on any longer!"
"Then His Highness is ready to take action??"
Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes as he looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him and asked.
"If we take action next time, it will be difficult for the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to take care of both sides. At that time, we may be able to get a bargain! In the worst case scenario, we can also force the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to withdraw their troops from Shanhaiguan!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Wu Yan's eyes as he looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him.
"Take action!"
Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly, looked at Wu Yan in front of him and said: "There is no good opportunity to take action now, but we can indeed make some preparations!"
"Then when does His Highness think it is a good time to take action??"
Wu Yan frowned slightly, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"Although the war in Shanhaiguan is urgent at the moment, Tashan has not fallen yet, the Qing army has not even touched Jinzhou Prefecture, and neither Hauge nor the Manchu Qing have used all their strength!
The most critical and core problem is that our current flintlock muskets have not yet started manufacturing!"
Zhu Cixi's eyes were calm.
"When we complete the manufacturing of flintlock muskets and the movable cannons begin to be fully deployed in the entire army, then we can carry out some key strikes against the Manchu Qing Dynasty! Although it is not yet time to fully recover the lost territory,
But at least take back Hejian Mansion!"
Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly, looked at Wu Yan in front of him and said.
"Moreover, after fighting this battle, we can start a comprehensive military expansion plan! If we want to regain China, the current army is not enough! But now, if we start to expand the army rashly, our army does not have enough middle- and lower-level officers.
Not very good either!”
"kindness!"
Wu Di nodded.
He also understood very well that in the new army of His Royal Highness, although military officers were very important, the importance of middle and lower-level officers in this system was actually no less important than the highest officer.
These middle- and lower-level officers serve as a link between superiors and subordinates, but it is not just such a relationship.
And they formed small-scale fighting groups one after another.
According to the military manual written by His Royal Highness, the smallest combat group in the army, His Highness the Prince calls it: "Squad!"
There are eight soldiers in a squad, which is the smallest fighting group.
Up is the row.
A platoon consists of three squads.
There are a total of twenty-four soldiers and three squads, forming a small battlefield cluster.
And further up is the team!
There are three platoons in a team!
Seventy-two people in total.
There are three teams in one battalion, a total of 216 people!
And so on!
This is just the basis. It is a little different from the current military system, but the difference is not big. What really makes Wu Zong feel that he has a commanding position.
The way of fighting! It is completely different from the current way of fighting where the whole army forms an array. Everyone feels that the army must form a whole and line up to fight in order to have combat effectiveness.
But His Royal Highness the Prince felt that muskets could change this direction.
Because General Lin Yi fought a very typical battle before, with the high mobility of the newly invented artillery, all the soldiers were hidden in the jungle.
Artillery and gunfire rang out from all directions, defeating enemies several times greater than themselves!
His Royal Highness the Prince said in his writings that the battlefield in the future may be completely different from the current one!
With the emergence of flintlock muskets, and artillery becoming faster firing, better aiming, and more powerful, the battlefield situation will undergo earth-shaking changes!
I have to say that this writing by His Royal Highness the Prince can be said to have opened Wu Di's eyes.
