"One defense and one strike..." Zhou Shuyuan said four words directly...us.

And under Wei Zheng's gaze, he explained in detail as much as possible...

"Although the tens of thousands of Mongolian troops attacking Zuoyun was the army commanded by Dorgon, the Tartars. However, it was tens of thousands of cavalry after all. Although our cavalry unit has expanded to 15,000 people, these cavalry have just been trained for three months and even their horses are unstable, let alone participating in the battle..."

"In this case, even if we want to give Dorgon a fatal blow to Zuo Yun, we will not be able to do anything to tens of thousands of cavalry."

"So, we can only defend ourselves in Zuoyun's direction... immediately send reinforcements to assist Zuoyun's garrison to block the attack of the Mongolian cavalry... Not only that, it is best to send an artillery unit to let the Mongols hit the head and burst into blood under Zuoyun City."

"I can be sure that Dorgon now must hope that we can send troops to Zuo Yun and fight a field battle with the tens of thousands of cavalry commanded by him to avenge the 'one arrow' that was half a year ago."

Speaking of this, Zhou Shuyuan's words suddenly changed and continued: "As for the tens of thousands of rebels in Baode County, it is easier to deal with... Although they have also formed thousands of cavalry, those cavalry can only be considered infantry riding on war horses at most... For such a group of cavalry, our musketeers can easily defeat them..."

"So, the idea of ​​the Xiaguan is to fight the rebels in Baode County, not only fight, but also fight hard... It is best to wipe out the tens of thousands of rebels who invaded Baode County through a battle and invade Shaanxi..."

"Sir, you are the Governor of Shanxi. Although the bandits in Shanxi have been eliminated, the huge Shanxi is still in the hands of the rebels. As the Governor of Shanxi, you have the obligation and the right to recover Shaanxi from the rebels..."

"Although the land in Shaanxi is barren, tens of millions of mu of military farming can still be opened. Not only that, there are still millions of people in Shaanxi. If these people and land can be used for our own use, we can bring us at least tens of millions of taels of silver every year... So, for us, Shaanxi is still a treasure land..."

"In addition, there is another reason why we must take down Shaanxi as soon as possible and eliminate Shaanxi traitors..."

"If we defeated the Shaanxi rebels but did not destroy it... Dorgon, who was unwilling to fail, would definitely conspire with the Shaanxi rebels again, attacked Shanxi together, and burned, killed and looted Shanxi, affecting the continuous development and growth of our Tiger and Leopard Army."

"Well said..." Hearing this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but be shocked by Zhou Shuyuan's stingy eyes.

After a little emotion, he said firmly: "Just do it like this... One defense and one strike..."

After saying that, Wei Zheng's mind had already emerged in his mind the specific combat plan for sending troops to the two places...

After thinking for a while, he ordered in a firm tone: "Military advisor, I decided to do what you said..."

"We focus on defense against the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in Zuoyun... We focus on fighting against the tens of thousands of Shanxi rebels in Baode County. Not only do we need to fight, we also need to take advantage of this opportunity to cross the Yellow River in one fell swoop, and take back control of the entire Shaanxi step by step from the traitors, so that our commander, the governor of Shanxi, will become a true name..."

"In the direction of Zuoyun, there are city walls for defense. As long as there are enough musketeers and artillerymen, plus sufficient ammunition, there is absolutely no problem when defending for a few months."

"In the direction of Baode County, we have to carry out field battles, and we have to cross the Yellow River and send troops to Shaanxi. Therefore, we must focus this battle in the direction of Baode County."

"This general order: General Wang Feng, commanding five thousand musketeers and one thousand artillery soldiers, immediately reinforce Zuo Yun... Five thousand musketeers, with the help of war horses, quickly reinforce Zuo Yun.... The artillery followed up before, but it was necessary to send enough musketeers to protect the way... No one could guarantee whether Mongolian cavalry infiltrated our Shanxi and stared at our artillery."

"The cavalry Zhao Yun's troops are in charge of 5,000 elite cavalry, the stationed troops are in charge of 10,000 elite soldiers, Wang Feng's troops are in charge of 5,000 musketeers, and artillery are all commanded by our commander to reinforce Baode County..."

"This time, I want to let the Shaanxi rebels know that the Tiger and Leopard Army is not that easy to bully,,,,,"

"Since they dare to pull their teeth from the tiger's mouth, we will make them pay the price of bleeding..."

"Yes, the Grand Marshal..." Military advisor Zhou Shuyuan said loudly.

Just as Zhou Shuyuan was about to leave, Wei Zheng changed his words and suddenly reminded him: "Wait a minute... The Shaanxi rebels and Mongolian cavalry joined forces to attack us. Such a big thing cannot be hidden from the court. Since the court will know it sooner or later, we should take advantage of this opportunity and extend our hands to the court again..."

Speaking of this, a strange smile quickly appeared on Wei Zheng's face.

Under Zhou Shuyuan's expectant gaze, Wei Zheng said, "We don't need silver; we will have more food in a few months... But the only thing we lack is people..."

"According to my commander, although the scale of the equipment department has grown to tens of thousands of people, there are very few real craftsmen among these tens of thousands of people..."

"A equipment department of this big one can do now is to produce muskets, artillery, grenades step by step... These equipment that has been developed... Half a year has passed, except for the mortars requested by me, even the popularization of flowering bullets and timed fuzes have not been completed... To put it in my heart, me is very disappointed with these craftsmen..."

Zhou Shuyuan quickly advised: "Master, it's already great to be able to build mortars... You also know that the craftsmen in our Equipment Department are all the craftsmen in the military households at that time. It's already very good to be able to achieve this level..."

"As far as the officials knew, the true outstanding craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were all in the capital..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Shuyuan suddenly understood something, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I understand, Dashang, what you mean is to ask the court for craftsmen..."

Wei Zheng did not hesitate and said loudly: "Yes, it's just asking the court for craftsmen..."

"Of course, we cannot openly want this craftsman.... Faced with the front and back attacks of Mongolian cavalry and Shaanxi rebels, we can ask the court to replenish firearms and firearms for us..."

"But, given the embarrassing situation where the court is currently unable to make ends meet, can we have money to build firearms and supplement them?"
