Wu Zheng temporarily recruited thousands of young and strong men in Zhenjiang City.

The swords and swords were divided, and the three hundred followers were appointed as backbone members.

This has an army of nearly 10,000 people.

In some ways, fighting is actually very simple.

As long as there is someone.

If there is a weapon, it is a force that cannot be underestimated.

If there is another commander who can convince the public, it will have the basis for winning the battle.

In fact, Wu Zheng is not like Chen Zhiyuan, and his understanding of military strategy is completely different.

Chen Zhiyuan was familiar with military strategy and believed that the essence of military strategy lies in "plan", the so-called "military means the way."

When talking with Wu Zheng, Chen Zhiyuan's understanding of this sentence was that the way to use military forces lies in strategy. As long as the strategy is used well, it is not a problem to win with less.

But Wu Zheng did not understand it so. He had also read the military books and the Thirteenth chapters of Sun Tzu's Art of War. Although it was not as meticulous as Chen Zhiyuan and memorized it like a stream, Wu Zheng believed that he understood Sun Tzu's Art of War, and the essence of what he said was the word "momentum".

By connecting "Soldiers are the devilish way" with "momentum", Wu Zheng's understanding is that the way to use troops is to judge the situation and make people unpredictable. In this way, it can echo the sentence "Soldiers have no constant momentum, water has no constant shape".

The understanding of "心" in "The First 心" in Sun Tzu's Art of War is that the word "心" does not mean strategy, but calculation and coordination. Simply put, it is to calculate money, food, weapons and comprehensive strength.

This corresponds to the saying "Weapon is a major event of the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival and death," which must be observed.

At the same time, the second chapter of "The Art of War" in "The Art of War" was originally listed as a calculation account book. Sun Wu said: "Any way of using troops is to use a thousand horses, chariots, chariots, 100,000 armors, and 100,000 miles of food, the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the materials of rubber paint, and the delivery of chariots and armors will cost a thousand gold a day, and then a hundred thousand troops will be promoted."

This is the calculation. Wars are expensive and expensive. You have to calculate the accounts repeatedly, otherwise it is easy to fail. You need to be pragmatic. Whether a battle is cost-effective or not, you must first list it clearly. If you win, you will kill 100,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself. It is not cost-effective. Or if you use 100,000 troops and horses, you will have no food and grass in half.

This is the same reason why Wu Zheng has been accumulating strength and did not immediately expedition the Northern Expedition.

If you fight a prepared battle, you will either win without fighting.

For example, Zhuge Liang often had no food in the Northern Expedition and had no choice but to withdraw his troops, which was extremely unprofitable.

It’s not that Zhuge Liang can’t settle accounts, but Zhuge Liang is naturally very good at calculating. But he not only calculates military accounts, but also a political account. Zhuge Liang needs to fight the Northern Expedition, and he wants to transform internal conflicts into external conflicts. Even if he loses some money and food, the purpose is achieved, and the battle is worth fighting.

Therefore, Wu Zheng admires the words of later generations, "In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are just a piece of shit."

This is also consistent with what Sun Wu said in the art of war, "Therefore, those who are good at fighting have no wisdom and reputation, no courage and achievements."

It means that people who are truly good at fighting do not need wisdom or courage. Before the war begins, they can settle the accounts clearly and then crush them directly.

This was well verified by Zeng Guofan in later generations. Zeng Guofan was a "stupid man". Although his diligence made up for his shortcomings, everyone in the world knew that Zeng Guofan had no talent since he was a child, whether it was military or regular governance.

Zeng Guofan once said, "Build a tough village and fight a stupid war", which means that I don't need conspiracy, just calculate, coordinate, and understand the situation, and then fight with you slowly.

This is actually the essence of the great man's "on the protracted war". He does not seek a decisive battle, but only seeks a steady battle. If he cannot defeat you, he will drag you to death.

At this time, Wu Zheng had some weapons, great power, official positions, command capabilities and sufficient grassroots officers.

So, such a "miscellaneous army" composed of surrenders, government soldiers, capital soldiers, and the people, blatantly advanced towards Gaozi Town.

Gaozi Town is only a few dozen miles away from Longtan, and there is twice as much enemy as Wu Zheng.

But Wu Zheng calculated that the time, place and people are all in me, and with the great victory of Jiangbei, this battle will definitely win!

....

June 11th, noon.

In the direction of Zhongshan, 20,000 Beijing troops launched a general attack towards Longtan.

On the river north of Longtan, five thousand navy soldiers began to climb 6 under the cover of naval guns.

The "miscellaneous army" from Gaozi Town assaulted towards the flank of Longtan.

As a result, the funeral prelude of the 20,000 Qing troops in Longtan was played.

There is no suspense. This Qing army crossed the river from Yizhen.

Being stubbornly blocked by the King of Xingguo, the king of Xingguo has become an exhausted army.

In the Zhongshan area, he was blocked by the Beijing army and fought fiercely for several days. He was already exhausted and his morale dropped.

Later, the river was blocked by the dynasty's navy, and the food and supplies were exhausted.

Now that we have encountered a three-faced attack, how can we still have the morale of fighting?

After an afternoon of fierce fighting, by the evening, the surviving Qing army was compressed into an area less than five miles and could not move.

Three armies of the Ming army met successfully.

Wu Zheng transferred the commander to the commander of the Beijing Army, and ordered him to enter the capital after the aftermath.

....

The governor Zhu Ma, led the cabinet and hundreds of court officials, and countless people who were looking forward to the arrival of Kuaiji County Prince to repay their debts for the court, all went out to Taiping Gate to greet him.

Although the motivation is not pure, if you have such a strong momentum, I am afraid that the entire Yixing Dynasty will never find a second one.

....

Go to Fengtian Palace.

Looking at the empty steps on the dragon throne.

Wu Zheng was in a trance. He had once pulled Zhu Yihai off from this dragon throne. Later, with his support, Zhu Cilang sat up to the public.

However, in just two years, Zhu Cilang had to "go in seclusion" and reflect on himself.

What does this mean? In addition to the fact that Zhu Cilang is indeed at fault, it also means that this position is really difficult to sit in.

People's hearts are too complicated and there are too many stakeholders. The former supporters may become opponents overnight.

When Wu Zheng was feeling everything, the supervisor Zhu Ma took her seat, and her seat was on the lower left side of the dragon chaise.

After the ministers saluted the governor.

Zhu Mai Wave waved his hand, and Zheng San read out the edict of the state supervision, which ordered the prince of Kuaiji and general Wu to temporarily lead the military and political affairs of the capital, lead the army to fight against the enemy, purify the court, and appease the hearts of the people.

This is not an appointment, it is just a temporary errand, but the power is so great that it is endless.

From war to food, drink, defecation, and as long as you want to control it, there is nothing you can't control.

Wu Zheng immediately advised and posthumously named King Zhiren of Xingguo as "King of Jiangdu". The Ministry of Rites selected the posthumous title, and at the same time, Wang Yilin, the deputy commander of the former naval commander, was appointed as "Yi Zhenbo".

Zhu Mai agreed one by one.

After resigning from the court, Wu Zheng asked Xia Wanchun, Liao Zhongping, Wang Yilin and other generals to wait outside the palace and entered the palace to meet the "settled" and self-reflective emperor of Yixingchao.

It’s not that Wu Zheng had to go in and see Zhu Cilang at this time, but Wu Zheng wanted to see Zhu Cilang.

Yes, just take a look.

This is not to meet a loser in the manner of a winner.

But Wu Zheng had doubts in his heart and needed to ask Zhu Cilang what he had had during this farce.

For Wu Zheng, the incest Zhu Cilang was so easy and voluntarily "retreat" to Wu Zheng.
