Chapter 160 Answers
After Yang Zhen had said this, he already understood it very well, and he was just about to tell Yuan Jin's true identity before recruiting him to his face.
After Yang Zhen finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Jin.
At this moment, the room was extremely quiet. Yang Zhen didn't speak, and neither did anyone else.
Everyone knows that if Yuan Jin does not agree and does not participate in this attack, then the decision made by Yang Zhen before will not be implemented at all.
Therefore, at this time, whether they were in favor of Yang Zhen's decision to send people deep behind enemy lines to fight guerrillas, or those who were opposed to Yang Zhen's decision, they all calmly looked at Yuan Jin, waiting for Yuan Jin's decision.
Of course Yuan Jin also heard what Yang Zhen meant at the end, and he also knew the importance of his fleet to the guerrilla tactics proposed by Yang Zhen.
At this time, he lowered his eyes, played with the wine bowl in his hand, pondered, and struggled in his heart.
After a while, Yuan Jin suddenly raised his head, looked directly into Yang Zhen's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Since ancient times, wealth has been sought in danger! I know very well how Yuan Jin, a general, came to be! I - I'll do it with you.
Got it!"
After Yuan Jin said these words, without waiting for Yang Zhen to say anything, he picked up the wine bowl in his hand, poured the remaining wine into his mouth, and drank it all.
Yuan Jin once engaged in the pirate business, and he was very familiar with the routine of "going deep behind enemy lines" and then launching a surprise attack where the "enemy" was weakest and most unprepared, and then killing people and stealing goods.
Therefore, after some calculation, he knew that Yang Zhen's guerrilla tactics had a high probability of success.
At least the first time you implement it, you have the best chance of success.
Because except for Marshal Mao Wenlong Mao of Dongjiang Town who did this to the Tatars, no other Ming army had ever done this.
Moreover, after Mao Wenlong's death, even the generals of Dongjiang Town, who were located in the rear of the Donglu, no longer dared to do this.
Nowadays, even Dongjiang Town has disappeared for many years. The island bases occupied by Dongjiang Town in the past have also been captured, uprooted and destroyed by the Tatars.
It can be said that Mao Wenlong's fighting style has not appeared for many years, and the Donglu Tatars have almost forgotten it.
At this time, if Yang Zhen picks up such a tactic again, it will definitely exceed Dong Lu's expectations.
At the very least, the first cross-sea attack organized by Yang Zhen will definitely exceed Donglu's expectations, and the chance of success is definitely greater than the chance of failure.
Moreover, Yang Zhen also said that if it failed, everyone would treat it as if it had never happened, and the imperial court far away in the capital would not care about it anyway.
"Hahahaha - OK! With Brother Yuan's great help, this time we cross the sea and attack the Tatar rear, we will be even more powerful, and we will be able to succeed immediately!"
When Yang Zhen saw that Yuan Jin had figured out the joints, he laughed loudly and stood up. He held the wine bowl, touched it with the other generals one by one, raised his neck and drank it in one gulp.
Jin Shijun and Ma Keqing, the two people waiting on the bureau, were ups and downs with Yang Zhen. Seeing that Yang Zhen was happy, he also smiled and quickly filled up the wine for Yang Zhen and others, then stepped back and stood to wait.
At this time, someone suddenly asked: "Sir, Commander-in-Chief! Do you mean to say that we will soon cross the sea to attack the Tatar rear?!
"But I wonder if the Commander-in-Chief has any final decision now? I dare to ask, who will your Excellency send, how many people will go, who will lead the army, and where will they go?"
Yang Zhen drank two bowls of wine in a row and was already a little drunk. When he heard the voice and looked over, it was Xia Chengde who was asking him a question.
Xia Chengde raised many objections in the previous military discussions, but in the end, he still implemented Yang Zhen's decision.
These days, Xia Chengde was observing Yang Zhen, and Yang Zhen was also observing Xia Chengde.
Yang Zhen didn't have much time or patience. He had to practice Tai Chi with such a veteran in the army to wear down his temper. He had already made up his mind -
If Xia Chengde is willing to be used by himself, then continue to keep him and eventually bring him to his side.
If this Xia Chengde always disobeys himself and is unwilling to be used by himself, then there is no need to keep him anymore. He can be killed at any opportunity and then be included in his team.
Everything depends on whether Xia Chengde himself is open-minded and aware of current affairs.
Including treating Lu Pinqi, Yang Zhen also had the same attitude. If you are willing to cooperate, I will keep you and use you. If you are not willing to cooperate, I will pull you down. I will kill you before the war comes to avoid ruining the big thing.
Therefore, these days, Yang Zhen did not meet with Xia Chengde alone, nor did he meet with Lu Pinqi alone. He just wanted to see if there was any need to keep these two people.
However, the results of the observation made Yang Zhen somewhat relieved.
Xia Chengde, who had always disagreed with Yang Zhen at that military meeting, did not refuse Yang Zhen's decision-making after the military meeting, but basically implemented Yang Zhen's decision-making intentions.
Xia Chengde referred to Yang Zhen's approach in the advance camp and organized his subordinates into four teams. He first selected the best from the best, carefully selected 300 cavalrymen, and arranged his son Xia Shu and a group of close servants to join them.
An elite Chinese cavalry team emerged.
He also concentrated almost all the best resources in his own hands, such as armor, swords, guns, crossbows, and three-eyed firearms, and prioritized equipping this elite cavalry team.
Then, he selected 400 relatively strong young soldiers from those who were not selected for the cavalry team, and created two infantry teams - a 200-man spearman team, and a 200-man team of spearmen.
A hundred-man Swordsman and Shieldbearer team.
Finally, all the remaining old and weak people, about 400 people, were selected and organized into the transport team, allowing these people to prepare troops on the one hand and do chores on the other.
Over the past few days, Xia Chengde's heavy duty soldiers have begun to be sent in batches to the city wall outside the west gate, taking turns to engage in land reclamation work.
Xia Chengde's subordinates selected the remaining old and weak men in the camp who were dedicated to doing miscellaneous work and farming. Every day they left the city in the morning, worked at sunrise, entered the city in the evening, and returned to the camp to rest. Everything was still in line with the military law, and it was in an orderly manner.
Judging from Xia Chengde's actions, this person is not blindly confused.
On the contrary, he is still a shrewd person at heart, and he knows that Yang Zhen's method of classifying and arranging soldiers is actually beneficial to him.
At the same time, another team in Songshan City under the control and command of Yang Zhen, the general training officer of the Songshan Regiment, namely the troops of General Lu Pinqi, copied Yang Zhen's formation method in the advance battalion.
In addition to the grenadiers, there were many horse teams, musketeers, and artillery teams, including the old, weak, and disabled who were selected from the group, and they were also organized into a transport team.
Who is the fighting soldier, who is preparing the troops, who is responsible for offense and defense during war, and who is responsible for the transportation and miscellaneous chores, all are clearly assigned.
After the Songshan Guard Battle, Lu Pinqi's command, which originally had only more than 800 people left, quickly ended the chaos after this reorganization.
All these situations of Xia Chengde and Lu Pinqi's subordinates were reported to Yang Zhen through Jin Shijun, the liaison officer.
It was precisely because of this that Yang Zhen felt that these two people could still be used, so after welcoming Yuan Jin into the city, he sent people to also invite Xia Chengde and Lu Pinqi.
Upon hearing Xia Chengde's question, Yang Zhen first looked at him, and after looking at him for a while, he said to him: "That's right! It's just the past few days!
"As for who to send, how many people to go, who will lead the army, where to go, and how many days will pass, you will naturally understand! Of course, if Brother Xia wants to join, Yang will be very happy to welcome him!"
This meaning is also very clear, that is, those who should know will naturally know, and those who should not know should not inquire blindly.
At the same time, Yang Zhen also expressed his intention to welcome Xia Chengde to join him. As long as he joins his team to attack behind enemy lines, all questions will naturally be answered.
"Don't get me wrong, Commander-in-Chief! Although I have never done this before by crossing the sea and taking a detour to make a sneak attack behind the enemy's rear, I think that with the help of General Yuan Shen's navy, even if I can't accomplish anything by doing this, I will definitely be able to escape unscathed! Therefore, now, I will
Not against it!
