Chapter 938: The strong wind breaks the giant tree, the grass is soft and strong (4)
The summer rain in Wutu Tzu Grassland comes and goes quickly. The thunder in the distance is set against the yellow-gray sky. The strong wind gradually pushes the dark clouds and the rain columns closer. The gurgling stream rises for a short time in the heavy rain. The torrent of the black cavalry of the Posses army spreads over the grassland with the undulating war horses like black clouds. The silver armor in the military formation shines with white waves. Black flags cover the sun for thousands of colors. The black flag is mixed with the black flag. The black flag is three zhang long and two zhang wide. The word "Possess" is vigorous and powerful. This tall commander's flag is carried by a special six-wheeled box truck. The two wide and half zhang war drums under the commander's flag are hammered in turn by four drummers to adjust the marching speed for the army. A wide and eight-wheeled black box truck on the left side of the Daqi flag is particularly dazzling.
The cavalry outside this box has two thousand strong black armored cavalry guards. Each guard cavalry has a tall figure, dark and bright armor, and the cavalry guard has a black and tall horse under his crotch. The cavalry of the two thousand guards has silver armor and holds a cavalry rifle in his left hand, and lightly pulls the horse in his right hand to look forward to control the horse under his crotch to keep the cavalry intact. As the commander of the slave army, Zhang Ping'an's special command box car is practical and not vain. The command box car requires six strong black horses to drag, and the heavy box car is in the mud.
There were deep ruts left on the muddy grassland. Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Nu Army, who was sitting in the box cart, held a tea bowl in the shaking box cart, and closed his eyes slightly, listening to a thousand general staff officer on the opposite side reading the military newspaper. This young staff officer with a long jaw and whisker was once Zhang Ping'an's favorite child, Chen Moran, the son of Chen Liang, the Prime Minister of the Pou Nu City Civil Affairs Office. When Chen Moran finished reading the military newspaper of the General Secretary Li Keqian used more than 9,000 cavalry scouts to intercept the military newspaper of the Ross van with more than 9,000 cavalry scouts, Zhang Ping'an felt a sigh in his heart.
The battles between the two sides on the battlefield were not only strategies, but more than competitions outside the battlefield. Emperor Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty had made military merits a strategy, which made his Han army flag traitor troops far higher in combat power and fighting spirit than the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Jiannu learned the tactics of the Pou Nu Army in the war, and Zhang Ping'an also learned strategies to improve combat power from the enemy. The reward system for military merits of the Pou Nu Army was also greatly modified in learning the policy of receiving military merits by Huang Taiji. In the past, Zhang Ping'an did not give ownership of the military merit fields to individuals, and the soldiers of the Pou Nu Army and the people of the Pou Nu City lacked a sense of belonging in their hearts because the land did not belong. This caused the soldiers of the Pou Nu Army only feared the strict military laws and had to fight to the death. The more powerful the Pou Nu Army soldiers and the more they had to fight to the death, the spirit of the more they were in the battle, the more they were in power, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were,
It was Zhang Ping'an who discovered this potential problem of the Pou Nu Army and carefully changed his military merit reward system. The Pou Nu Army, who dared to fight to the death on the battlefield, can rely on its military merits to redeem military merit reward fields or slaves after the war. The greater the military merit, the more fertile land or slaves it will be rewarded. However, Zhang Ping'an still kept a hand. The fertile land near Pou Nu City and Ping'an City is not among the rewards, and the Pou Nu Army rewards the land on the Esrege grassland. Pou Nu City and Ping'an City are children of Zhang Ping'an who want to raise Jinlang Camp, and he will not easily hand over the best land of Pou Nu City Xuanwei Clan. Fortunately, nearly half of the soldiers of the Pou Nu Army came from the Golden Wolf Camp, and they understood Zhang Dashui's selfishness very much.
After thinking about it, Zhang Ping'an put the tea bowl in the small groove on the tea table. He smiled and looked at Chen Moran who was reading the official documents and gently waved his hand to signal Chen Moran to pause. Seeing Chen Moran, the grown-up child, Zhang Ping'an couldn't help but sigh again. With him, the black-hearted commander, the group of people under him were all so cunning. Take Chen Moran in front of him for example. Chen Liang tried every means to transfer his son to Zhang Han's hands from the beginning, mainly to keep Chen Moran away from Zhang Ping'an. The main reason was that Zhang Ping'an was unpredictable. Chen Liang was afraid that Chen Moran would not be able to participate in the dangerous family affairs of the General Mansion. Chen Liang was still very visionary. He had long foresighted the dispute over the Chief of the General Mansion. Anyone who participated in the dispute over the Chief of the General Mansion would not have a good ending.
Over the years, Zhang Han grew from a General Staff General Staff to commander General Staff. Zhang Ping'an never promoted Zhang Han to deputy chief of staff. One reason was that Zhang Han, who was in the northern cluster of the Po Nu Army, did not show any achievements. Another reason was that Zhang Han and Deputy General Staff General Chen Zheng were too close to each other and violated the taboo, which indirectly implicated Chen Moran in the position of General Staff General Staff. The Po Nu Army had two major intelligence yamen, and Chen Liang's little thoughts were soon learned by Qu Guozheng. Zhang Ping'an, who knew the inside story, certainly would not miss any opportunity to knock on his subordinates. Since he wanted Chen Moran to stay away from Zhang Ping'an, he transferred Chen Moran to himself and warned Chen Liang not to be scheming in front of him. The young Chen Moran inherited his steady attitude in dealing with people and could understand Zhang Dashen's combat deployment well and gained his trust.
The 300,000 troops of the Po Slave Army in Wutuzhi Grassland were arranged in a complicated manner. Zhang Ping'an wanted to call a staff officer to help him and help no one dared to say anything. He heard Zhang's thoughts and thought about it and said to Chen Moran in a complaining tone: "Uncle Li has been thinking about slave trading recently. How many times have I told him that he has changed this chair to another. I'm the old man. Alas, let's not mention these trivial matters, and ask people to call Zhang Li, Huang Zhi and Huang Wei to me!"
The kung fu was not big. Huang Zhi, Huang Wei and Zhang Li came to Zhang Dashuai's command box truck one after another. Zhang Ping'an never talked nonsense in the battlefield military discussion. He asked Chen Moran to take out the map and said to Zhang Li: "Brother Li, the battlefield situation is extremely beneficial to my slave army. The plan to lure the enemy earlier was a bit inappropriate. You send Huang Feihong's dog-good guy to Jile Mountain as bait. Explain the dog thing clearly. Don't pass the play when you two brothers force the Ross into a trap."
After hearing this, Huang Wei shook his head and felt embarrassed: "Master General, this Ross coalition has 300,000 people. How can we do this less than 40,000 combat soldiers? The young men in the General Staff only know how to make a fool of themselves on the map and make plans with their foreheads!"
"You are a naughty guy. I agree with the combat arrangements made by the General Staff. Can you fight more than me? Gu Xin's deployment for you brothers is a job of blocking the door. Are you not the rest behind you? You are afraid! Look at how steady your brother is. If you get a beautiful woman, you will be inferior to your brother in the war! Okay, okay, talk about serious business! Deputy coach Chen Zheng put in the west to intercept Ross' main force. This battle is very stressful, and maybe five battle barracks will be crippled. So, you two need to fight fast attacks quickly and drive Ross' forward into the swamp as soon as possible. I personally lead the troops to cooperate with your brothers in the war. How about it? I am so good!" Zhang Ping'an was excited when he talked about the war. He cursed people in a mess, and kept marking the offensive line on the map with charcoal pen.
"The general is right. Huang Wei, please protect my wings, and the White Wolf Camp will take the main attack!" Huang Zhi looked at the map. He was not afraid of fighting against nearly ten times the enemy.
"See, Huang Wei! This is the difference between the second-class commander and the third-class commander. Learn more from your brother, don't complain before the battle starts! How can you set an example for your subordinates in this state? Huang Zhi, don't let Huang Wei make things difficult for me. I sent Du Yehe tribe to protect the right wing of the White Wolf Camp Huang Wei on the left. I, the boss, will naturally watch the battle behind you. Are you still worried that you won't win the battle? If you fight with the enemy in three days, you go to the General Staff to receive orders!" Zhang Ping'an's morale was to be effective directly and effective. The promise he made was very effective. Huang Zhi and his brothers all smiled and got out of the box car and went to the General Staff to receive combat orders.
After seeing off the three commanders, Zhang Ping'an asked Chen Moran to continue reading the urgent reports sent from various places. Among these urgent reports, he was most concerned about the intelligence about Jiannu. Among these messages, Zhang Ping'an admired Xu Yi'an's judgment on the invasion of the Ming Dynasty. Xu Yi'an predicted that the Emperor Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty was likely to send a large army to attack the Wanquandusi, and mainly wanted to test the reaction of the defeated slave army. For this reason, Xu Yi'an ordered the Taiwan Camp Association to lead Dong Heliang to lead 12,000 war soldiers to Jeju Island a month ago to assist Zhang Tong, the chief general of the Yixing Camp, and mobilized 300 cargo ships to transport war soldiers and food and military supplies. Similarly, the leader of the Baibone camp Lu Jiansheng (Lu Xiangsheng), who was worried about Jiannu, also drove the main force of the Baibone camp south to Shalanggou, and transferred the Zhu Youqian troops of the Yema camp that guarded the food road back to defend Ping'an City.
After listening to Chen Moran read the arrangements made by various departments to deal with Jiannu, Zhang Ping'an nodded and said, "Tell me about Gu Xin and Guozheng. After Jiannu entered the Ming Dynasty, as long as he approached Wanquandushi Zhang Tong immediately attacked, captured Jinzhou and served as a place to station troops here. After occupying Jinzhou, he waited for an opportunity to attack Fuzhou and Gaizhou. He attracted the main force of Jiannu from the Ming Dynasty to succeed. Don't fight a war of attrition with Jiannu. In my name, he wrote an order to the commander Zhang Tong of the capital in his name, don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, and keep his strength to wait for the future."
After Chen Moran wrote and signed Zhang Ping'an's order, Zhang Dashuai, who liked the most in the Po Nu Army, could finally hear the newspapers of earning gold, silver and money from various places. In these newspapers, Xu Yian's Taiwan Camp contributed the greatest contribution. The net profit of 7 million taels of silver in a year made Zhang Ping'an happy. In addition, the crystal mirror produced by Po Nu City, the "Silver Gathering" silver building consumed silver and exchanges in other places. Po Nu City Xuanwei ordered the department to absorb more than 10 million taels of silver from the Ming Dynasty, and the income of these silver money could be equivalent to the taxes of the Ming Dynasty in the third year. So much money could not meet the losses of the Po Nu Army's war, and the tax revenue of Po Nu City still had a gap of nearly 2 million taels of silver. This insufficient money gap could only be compensated by Zhang Ping'an out of his own pocket.
Fortunately, Zhang Ping'an was ready. His eleven private gold mines could produce 80,000 taels of gold every year. Together with the private money saved for many years, Zhang Ping'an still had the confidence to continue the war. Preparing for the future has always been Zhang Ping'an's nature. He asked Chen Moran to write a letter to the civil yamen, asking the civil yamen to issue war bonds of 8 million silver coins of Ponucheng, and use the future captured slaves in Wutuzui Grassland as collateral to continue to raise the silver for war from the people of Ponucheng. After arranging the miscellaneous matters, Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Ponucheng Army, walked out of the box car, and he rode a war horse to inspect the various troops and camps of the marching. Zhang Ping'an wanted to cheer up before the war began, and give the soldiers the courage and confidence to defeat the enemy. (To be continued)
