Chapter 1376 Selecting the Station
Zhu Pingan accepted almost all the armaments that were eliminated from the Linhuai Marquis camp, and it took twenty carriages to pull them twice.
Payments and funds are already in place, and with this batch of armaments, the material foundation for group training is almost complete.
The demon girl Ruonan received a letter from his father, saying that the recruitment process is going quite smoothly. Two mountain villages have been surrendered. Including themselves, the number of bandits who have accepted the surrender is almost 600.
Zhu Pingan plans to have a thousand people in the group training. With these 600 bandits as the foundation, he can then recruit and select a group of young men.
The material foundation is sufficient, and the people are almost there. You can apply for a campsite by yourself, and team training can begin.
So, after Zhu Ping'an returned to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, he reported the preparations for the group training to Mr. Tai Tai, and then applied for a group training station. Once the station was ready, he sent a message to the demon girl Ruonan's father, Asking him to take the surrendered bandits to the base was the beginning of team training.
"Not bad, Zihou, you prepared very quickly, which exceeded my expectations. Not bad, very good." Mr. Taitai nodded with satisfaction while listening to Zhu Pingan's report. Nodding, after hearing that Zhu Ping'an had surrendered 600 bandits, Mr. Nian Tai said with some worry, "It is said that a country is easy to change but a nature is hard to change. Most of the bandits are desperadoes, and their banditry is hard to change and difficult to manage. Zihou's regiment has only a thousand people, and most of the bandits have surrendered. I'm afraid there are hidden dangers in this way."
"Sir, Mr. Tai, The subordinates will use strict military discipline to restrain these bandits. If they violate it, they will be severely punished!"
Zhu Ping'an replied with a firm face.
This was something in Zhu Pingan's plan. After these bandits were incorporated into the regiment training, the first thing Zhu Pingan did and what he always did was to instill military discipline and obedience into the bones of these bandits.
We must forge a regiment with strict military discipline, no offense, and obedience to orders.
Hearing this, Mr. Tai Tai nodded slightly, "Zihou, feel free to do whatever you want, but don't tolerate it."
"I obey." Zhu Ping'an handed over his hand.
“As for the location of the regiment training, Zihou, what do you think of Jinshan County?” Master Zhitai asked.
Jinshan County? !
Zhu Pingan has been studying the topographic maps of Jiangsu and Zhejiang recently, and Jinshan County is no stranger to it. Jinshan County is located more than 60 miles southwest of Yingtian, not close nor far from Yingtian. It can be regarded as a satellite county of Yingtian.
Jinshan County is surrounded by mountains on the north, east and south in a "spoon" shape. It is named Jinshan County because a gold mine was discovered on a hill in the southeast of its territory. It was named Jinshan because of the gold mine. county. However, the Jinshan Mountain in Jinshan County had already been mined out in the early Ming Dynasty, and now it has become a barren mountain.
In fact, you don’t have to choose a location for group training. Basically, a place with enough area is enough.
There is nothing wrong with Jinshan County being the base for team training.
In addition, when a leader asks you how something is, in fact, the leader has already determined that something in his heart.
So, after Zhu Ping'an asked Mr. Tai, he handed over his hands and said, "Jinshan County is at a moderate distance and is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is very suitable as a team training location."
"Okay, then. Set the base in Jinshan County. Although Jinshan County belongs to Yingtian Prefecture, it is within the sub-inspection road under the jurisdiction of our Criminal Division. It is not necessary to organize military equipment in Jinshan County. No. Moreover, as Zihou said, Jinshan County is at a moderate distance. If there are changes in the regiment training, Yingtian can send troops to help Zihou control the situation. If Yingtian has circumstances, Zihou can also lead the regiment to support Su. Song is not too far away. If Su Song is in a critical situation, Zihou can also lead a team to support him."
Master Zhentai nodded.
"What Mr. Taitai said is absolutely true." Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands and said.
After finalizing Jinshan County as the location for the regiment training, Mr. Nie Tai took down a roll of maps from the museum shelf behind him.
"Zihou, look, this is the map of Jinshan County. The mountains, rivers and terrain are all marked on it. Where does Zihou think it is suitable for the group training station?" Zengtai unfolded the map on the desk and used an inkstone. , Zhenchi pressed the four corners, waved to Zhu Pingan, motioned Zhu Pingan to come closer to watch, and asked softly.
Zhu Ping'an looked closer and saw that the map in Nie Tai's hand was a map of Jinshan County after all. It was much more detailed than the map of Jiangsu and Zhejiang he had seen. Of course, it is incomparable with modern maps. This ancient map is flat and not as complex and three-dimensional as modern maps. It simply marks mountains, rivers, villages and towns.
Of course, no matter how simple it is, maps were classified in ancient times and were difficult for ordinary people to see.
Zhu Ping'an carefully observed the map of Jinshan County, looking for a suitable place for team training.
When Zhu Ping'an was looking at the map, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Lord Nedai had been observing him silently.
Zhu Ping'an realized that when he asked himself in Taiwan where Jinshan County was suitable for group training, it was probably a test to see if he knew soldiers and military strategies.
Choosing a campsite is important! If you choose the wrong camp, you will be in disaster. For example, when Pang De occupied Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms, Pang De chose a low-lying place to camp. As a result, Guan Yu dug up the Han River and flooded seven armies. Pang De's army was wiped out. Famous and prestigious.
As a result, Zhu Pingan became more serious.
Wu Qi once said that there are four major taboos in setting up camp, namely Tianzao, Longtou, Backwater, and Xiangpo.
Tianzao is talking about the mouth of the valley, which is the mouth of the valley. If you set up camp at the mouth of a valley and are not careful, you may easily be driven into the valley by the enemy and be made into dumplings, leaving you with no way to go to heaven or to the earth. For example, Zhuge Liang once set up an ambush in Hulu Valley and used a trick to lure Sima Yi and his army into the valley. He came to attack the dogs behind closed doors and occupied the surrounding high ground, hoping to burn Sima Yi's entire army to death through a fire attack. However, against all odds, it rained heavily and saved Sima Yi's life. If it hadn't rained heavily, Sima Yi's entire army would have been burned to death in the valley. This shows the danger of Tianzao.
Longtou refers to the end of the mountain. The reason why the end of the mountain is not suitable as a military camp is similar to that of Tianzao. If you set up camp at the top of a mountain, if the enemy attacks and the army surrounds the mountain, there will be no escape. For example, in the Battle of Ma Di's Jieting, Ma Di gave up the water source and went up to the mountain to station, but was surrounded by Zhang He on the mountain. He first cut off the water source on the mountain, and then launched a large-scale attack. Ma Di was defeated and the army was routed. As a result, Zhuge Liang lost the great opportunity of the Northern Expedition. , leaving a story in history about beheading Ma Su with tears.
Being on the water means having your back against the river. If your back is against the river, if the enemy attacks, if you cannot resist it, there will be no way out, because your way out will be blocked by the river. Of course, there are also classic battles in history where Han Xin fought his last battle, but the problem is that you are not Han Xin. Han Xin can put himself to death and survive, but most other people can only put themselves to death and die
Facing the slope means facing the hillside. Facing the slope is not suitable for camping. In addition to the enemy attacking and having no way to retreat, there is also the problem that the enemy occupies the high ground on the mountain and attacks from a high position, making it difficult for us to resist.
