One thousand two hundred seventy-four this battle, to fight
After reading all the relevant information, Xin Qiji expressed his support for Su Yonglin's view.
"From the intelligence point of view, this is indeed the case. The main contribution of the Chengdu court to establish it is to the military forces led by foreign officials led by Ma Yongkang and Wu Lin.
Without the support of these two forces, Zhao Buxi would definitely not be the emperor, and Sichuan and Shu would not be able to form a court on its own. Local officials in Sichuan and Shu would rather protect their own interests than provide a local emperor with resources to fight against the Ming Dynasty and Jiangnan Kingdom.
These two forces were difficult to cooperate from the beginning, and they were disagreeable. The local forces in Sichuan and Shu chose to support the Chengdu court because they were mainly intimidated by Wu Lin's prestige and his military strength, as well as the transfer of political power and status by the Chengdu court.
However, the occurrence of the two events of the Sichuan-Shu peasant uprising and the Jiaozi collapse can be said to have completely destroyed the cooperation foundation between foreigners and locals. In addition, Zhao Buxi’s actions that made me incredible may have completely intensified this contradiction.”
Su Yonglin nodded.
"Comrade You'an is right. I would like to add that the military forces formed by four armies headed by Lu Chao and four others are likely to have shown signs of localization and warlordization.
Although the information is not clear, I think that since Ma Yongkang and Wu Ting decided to launch a mutiny, there are obviously these reasons. To overthrow Zhao Buxi is because they cannot stand Zhao Buxi's madness, and to liquidate the local factions, it is obviously because they cannot withstand this threat.
Zhao Buxi's madness led to Lu Chao and four others deciding to break with the Chengdu court, and they lost the food and salary support of the Chengdu court. If the warlord-like army wants to survive and maintain food and grass, they must choose to localize and cooperate with local forces."
Su Yonglin's views and Xin Qiji's views are summarized together to form a logical and meticulous inference, which is in line with most people's views on this matter, so soon, this late-night meeting that took place in the second half of the night set a tone for this matter.
That is, the forces outside Sichuan and Shu led by Ma Yongkang and Wu Ting really wanted to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and use the powerful army of the Ming Dynasty to survive.
Otherwise, they will definitely die.
So, Su Yonglin came to a conclusion.
Time is endless, this battle will be fought.
"If the local warehousing in Guanzhong is not enough, then transport it from Hedong and Datong provinces. Not to mention the others, Su Haisheng should immediately discuss the surrender with Wu Gong and determine the occupation of all major transportation routes and military fortresses in northern Sichuan as soon as possible. This is the premise of all!"
So the General Staff Headquarters issued an order, and Su Yonglin personally signed and stamped it, conveyed important instructions to Su Haisheng, and gave him the power to arbitrarily on the spot.
How to cooperate with Wu Gong, how to determine Wu Gong's sincerity, etc., all of these must be left to Su Haisheng to judge and deal with.
The Sichuan-Shu Strategy Plan has been deduced on the sand table of the General Staff Headquarters many times, and this time it was unexpected practice.
Accidents always come faster than tomorrow. If the opportunity is right in front of you, you must seize it vigorously!
Just one day after the order was quickly passed, the news from the Sichuan Branch was also sent to Zhongdu. Su Yonglin was quite moved after reading it.
It turned out that through his intelligence analysis, Xu Tong believed that the situation in Sichuan and Sichuan had undergone a major change. If the previous established strategy continues to be implemented, there will be a lot of uncertainty, which Xu Tong is very unsuggested.
Therefore, Xu Tong hopes that Su Yonglin will make the next decision, let the Qilu Corps come to an early stage and act in advance, and make the final decision before Sichuan and Shu enter the Warring States Period.
"Xu Tong is still very clear and strategic. He is right. You'an, I think he can even be pushed out of the front-line army and work in the General Staff Headquarters."
"People with strategic vision should indeed stand at a higher level and do longer."
Xin Qiji, who stood beside Su Yonglin, was very interesting about this and said with a smile: "Such talents are hard to come by, and it is difficult to cultivate them. It is mainly based on innateness. In fact, the more wars are fought, the more I realize that many things really depend on talent."
Su Yonglin sighed.
"Yes, diligence can make up for your shortcomings, but it cannot make up for your talent. Some things really require you to believe in the word "talent". The wonderful use of it lies in one's heart. This sentence basically cuts off the possibility of a person without talent becoming a famous general."
"Talented people are important, but when it comes to the national level, an excellent execution system is the most important place to win. Compared to a single genius, I think there are still hundreds of executors who have received strict education and training who can strictly implement the orders of the court."
Xin Qiji smiled and said, "And this has high requirements for our education. Do I need to invest a lot of money and energy in it? Of course, even geniuses need to receive education, otherwise how can I find out where my genius is?"
"What you said is reasonable."
Su Yonglin smiled: "So, education is really important."
After hearing this, Xin Qiji thought for a while, weighed the pros and cons before speaking slowly.
"Since education is very important, why did I hear you rejected the education popularization plan proposed by the school department? This is a good plan, and it is set up completely according to the method you proposed at the previous meeting as a basis."
Su Yonglin turned his head and looked at Xin Qiji.
"You know, too?"
"It has spread all over the court inside and outside, and many people don't understand your ideas. You have always regarded education as important. No matter how difficult the court is, it still needs to organize literacy classes and make the people able to read, write and read.
But this plan is obviously beneficial to the country and the people, and can cultivate a large number of excellent talents, allowing people to use their intelligence and talents, so that the Ming Dynasty will not lack talents. Why do you want to reject it?"
"Well, I plan to explain it at the next meeting. There are indeed many people who don't understand, but I think I'm right."
Su Yonglin said slowly: "Many people only see the benefits of popularization education, but not the disadvantages. In the long run, popularization of education is inevitable, but the school's plan is to complete popularization within ten years.
It is still the third-level popularization plan I finally set. This action is too radical and I must stop it, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, not only to the country, but also to the children raised."
"This...I don't understand."
Xin Qiji whispered: "What do you think? It is not a bad thing to let young people and school-age children read and practice calligraphy, right? You often say that the foundation of the country of education is not what you hope for?"
"It's not a bad thing in itself, but everything in this world is linked together. Things related to the country are linked together and should be linked together. You'an, I should have told you about the defeat of Zhang Yuan, a senior official of Xixia, and the Song army, Haoshuichuan. Do you still remember it?"
"Remember."
"As a Song native and an imperial examination scholar, why did Zhang Yuan betray Song and turn to Li Yuanhao?"
"Of course, it was because of the frustration of the imperial examination, no way to serve the country, and self-retaining talent, so...so..."
Xin Qiji was stunned. Before he finished speaking, he looked at Su Yonglin in a little astonishment.
After ten years of popularization, education was popularized, Su Yonglin stopped, Zhang Yuan surrendered to the enemy...
Xin Qiji's brain turned rapidly, connecting these things together, and came to a conclusion that surprised him.
Chapter completed!
