Chapter 1594 The wolf soldiers are fierce and the best in the world
“Last time, I asked you what was the first priority in destroying the Japanese, and you said appointing the governor to unify the command was the first priority. At that time, I also said that you were young and dared I thought, but I never imagined that Zi Hou’s words would make me the governor of seven provinces.” Zhang Jing was quite emotional. He said, and then looked at Zhu Ping'an with burning eyes, "Zihou can see the leopard at a glance, know the subtleties, grasp the pulse of current events, and grasp the overall trend. He can be said to predict events like a god."
At this moment, in Zhang In my mind, Zhu Ping'an's weight is no longer comparable to that of others, and few people can compare with him.
Just as Zhu Pingan expected, Zhang Jing was amazed at Zhu Pingan's overall view, and labeled Zhu Pingan as "knowing the subtleties", "minding the overall situation", "strategizing", and "predicting things like a god" " and other tags.
“It’s just a coincidence. Your Excellency, I’m ridiculously complimenting you. Ping An is not worthy of it.”
Zhu Ping'an shook his head modestly and said modestly. As he spoke, he stood up and filled Zhang Jing's wine glass.
“No, one time may be described as a coincidence, but Zihou’s performance of knowing little things is not once or twice. Zihou studied the battle reports from various places and warned that the Japanese pirates from Shangyu would attack Yingtian, which was very typical It's a clear proof. It's a pity that I didn't pay enough attention to it, otherwise the situation would be very different."
Zhang Jing shook his head slightly, admiring Zhu Pingan, and at the same time regretted not paying enough attention to Zhu Pingan's warning. .
"Now that the governor has been appointed, what does Zihou think is the first priority to destroy the Japanese at this time?" Zhang Jing asked at the dinner table.
"My lord, I believe that the first priority now is to dispatch troops and generals." Zhu Pingan replied without hesitation.
Zhang Jing nodded, and his evaluation of Zhu Pingan was a little higher.
Pragmatic!
Actually, the last time he asked Zhu Pingan, what he had in mind was to mobilize troops and generals, and Hu Zongxian's answer was also to mobilize troops and generals. At that time, I felt that Zhu Pingan was not pragmatic enough and took things for granted, so my evaluation of Zhu Pingan was not as high as my evaluation of Hu Zongxian.
It now appears that Zhu Pingan not only has a better overall view than Hu Zongxian, but also has a pragmatic spirit.
"Why does Zihou think that the first priority is to dispatch troops and generals?" Zhang Jing asked further, wanting to hear Zhu Pingan's answer.
"Sir, first of all, there are more and more Japanese pirates gathering now. I have carefully collected the recent situation of Japanese pirates. The largest Japanese pirates have occupied the Zhoushan Islands. The main force has occupied Jintang Island and gathered in Ligang. There are tens of thousands of pirates; except for the Japanese pirates, In addition, several groups of Japanese pirates such as Xu Hai and Chen Dong gathered at In Songjiang, South Zhili, there are more than 30,000 thieves, mainly in Tuolin and Chuanshawa. The existing military strength in Zhejiang and South Zhili is seriously insufficient and it is difficult to shoulder the important task of suppressing the Japanese. Secondly, this time we go to Yuzhi. Japanese pirates spread across thousands of miles in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and southern Zhili. They defeated the officers and soldiers from all over the country. The soldiers in the guard were too cowardly to fight. Many of them collapsed at the first contact. The local soldiers' combat effectiveness was worrying and they were unable to bear the heavy task of suppressing Japanese invaders. Thirdly, various places in Zhejiang experienced Japanese invasion and were attacked by Japanese pirates one after another. Break out the stronghold, suffer repeated defeats, and morale is low. , it is difficult to shoulder the important task of suppressing Japanese pirates. Therefore, it is necessary to recruit officers and soldiers who are still capable of fighting from other places to assist in suppressing Japanese pirates."
Zhu Pingan replied slowly and used a dinner plate on the table. As a prop, the distribution of Japanese pirates is simply laid out.
Zhang Jing nodded while listening. Zhu Pingan's analysis was almost exactly the same as what he had in mind, and he couldn't help but admire it.
"Does Zihou know about the Guangxi wolf soldiers?" Zhang Jing asked casually.
"Xiaoguan has heard a little bit about it." Zhu Ping'an nodded lightly, "Ping'an heard that 'Wolf soldiers are fierce and fierce, and they are the best in the world'. I don't know if it is worthy of the name, but with such a great reputation, I don't think so. Bad.”
In fact, Zhu Ping'an knew the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers too well. Perhaps he was not as good as Zhang Jing, who had been the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, in terms of specific details, but overall he definitely knew more than Zhang Jing.
In history, "Wolf soldiers are fierce and the most powerful in the world" is by no means an unfounded reputation. Guangxi soldiers are famous for their ability to fight and have withstood the test of history.
After Qin Shihuang annexed the six kingdoms, he deployed 300,000 troops in the north to deal with the Xiongnu, but in the south he deployed 500,000 troops to deal with Xiyue, the ancestors of the Zhuang people. 500,000 Qin troops were in They fought against Xiyue for three years without making any progress. It was not until Qin Shihuang poured out all his power to open the Ling Canal that he conquered Xiyue.
In the Ming Dynasty, when fighting against Japanese pirates, Zhang Jing later deployed wolf soldiers to destroy the Japanese. The Japanese trembled when they heard the name of wolf soldiers. Later, although wolf soldiers were not as mythical as their names, they still established a Achieved great military exploits. Later, Yuan Chonghuan led the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers to fight against Nurhachi's 300,000 Eight Banners army in Ningyuan, defeating the Manchu Eight Banners and annihilating more than 17,000 enemies.
During the Qing Dynasty, veteran general Feng Zicai led Guangxi soldiers to defeat the French army at Zhennanguan, causing the French cabinet to step down; the Taiping Rebellion initially relied on Guangxi soldiers to fight all the way to Nanjing; during the Republic of China and the Anti-Japanese War , Guangxi soldiers also gained a great reputation and made great military exploits
Therefore, in general, Zhu Pingan knows much more than Zhang Jing.
“Yes, I knew the Guangxi wolf soldiers very well when I was the military governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. The wolf soldiers were soldiers under the local chieftain’s rule. Their life and death depended on the chieftain. They were all tenacious, brave, and brave. Fearless, I have suffered a lot from them Head. Among the wolf soldiers of Guangxi, the wolf soldiers of Tianzhou, Donglan, Nadi, and Danzhou are the best. They can defeat many with a small number and win nine times out of ten. Among them, the wolf soldiers of Tianzhou Cen are the best. "Deadly but invincible" reputation. Zhang Jing nodded slightly and told Zhu Ping'an.
"My lord, do you want to send wolf soldiers from Guangxi?"
Zhu Ping'an asked knowingly. He had long known that Zhang Jing wanted to send wolf soldiers to suppress the Japanese, and Zhang Jing also did this in history. .
Zhang Jing did not hide it and nodded lightly, "I have this plan. What do you think of Zihou?"
"I naturally support you. The more soldiers you can fight, the better." Zhu Ping'an nodded without hesitation and agreed with Zhang Jing's idea, because the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers are currently one of the most capable troops in the Ming Dynasty.
Currently, Qi Jiguang has not started training his troops, and the famous Qi Jiajun has not yet come out.
"Your Excellency was once the governor of the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi, and knows the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers well. He must know their strengths and weaknesses, and know how to make good use of them."
Zhu Pingan further said, reminding Zhang Jing that the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers Soldiers have advantages and disadvantages. When using Guangxi wolf soldiers, you must maximize your strengths and avoid weaknesses, give full play to the strengths of the wolf soldiers, and avoid the shortcomings of the wolf soldiers.
"Well, that's right. The Guangxi wolf soldiers have their advantages and disadvantages, otherwise they wouldn't be defeated by me. The Guangxi wolf soldiers are brave, but if they are brave, they will easily collapse. If they are brave but have no plan, they will be defeated. Follow the rules and lead the army to control them." Zhang Jing stroked his beard and nodded.
Zhu Ping'an nodded secretly. It seemed that Zhang Jing was not blind to the wolf soldiers and was still very clear-headed, so he felt relieved. (End of this chapter)
