Chapter 660 The Blessing of the Governor, the Blessing of the Master Wang?
The words of Hong Chengchou, governor of Jiliao, focused the eyes of everyone in the hall on Zhang Cheng.

The tradition of the Ming Dynasty at this time has always been that civil servants are responsible for planning strategies, and military generals have become reckless men who only know how to lead troops to charge and kill.

But at this moment, faced with the questioning of Zhang Ruoqi, the governor, Hong Chengchou neither asked the minister Qiu Minyang, nor Zhang Dou, the inspector Yao Gong, Wang Zhizhen, the supervisor, nor all the colleagues present.

But they chose to ask Zhang Cheng, the deputy commander, how could they understand this!

Even if Hong Duchen asked the generals of the general army because of military affairs, there are also General Zhenshuo, General Yang Guozhu of Xuanzhen, Chen Jiugao, the former commander of the Shenji Battalion, and Zu Dale, a veteran of Liaodong. There is Wu Sangui, the general of Liao Town.

In their opinion, no matter what, they should not ask the young Zhang Cheng. Not only is he the youngest, but he also has the lowest qualifications. When he first arrived in Liao Town, he still didn't know anything about the situation here.

As far as he is concerned, can he come up with any useful strategies for fighting and defending, or strategies for using troops?
However, they can just wait and see the jokes. The commanders-in-chief present here are all good at fighting on the battlefield, and at most they can command a battle of the scale of a battle.

They have never been good at planning at the strategic level, and this is not their fault. Since the Civil War, the Ming Dynasty's elite martial arts talents have been lost. Since then, the strategy level has been dominated by civil servants.

Military generals are reduced to decorations, or ordinary generals who are called around by civil officials. Since then, their vision has been limited to their own one-acre three-point land, and it can no longer be broadened.

Especially when it evolved to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the generals mostly obeyed the command in every battle, and even if they had some small thoughts, they were all used to bribe the superiors and how to protect themselves. How much can they do, and what strategic level of planning can they have?

Amidst the astonishment of everyone in the lobby, Zhang Cheng also fell into deep thought.

He guessed that according to the current situation, his arrival did not have a big impact on the battle situation in Liaodong, perhaps because his strength is not enough, he can only be regarded as a budding figure, and it is far from enough to cause the big bosses of this era to go too far. Energy of focus.

Perhaps, after this battle, you will no longer ignore me!
After Zhang Cheng secretly set a new goal for himself in his heart, his thoughts gradually became clear. Even if there is an increase in the number of slaves in the Songjin direction, it will never exceed [-].

On the other hand, more than 16 elites of the Ming Dynasty have gathered on my side. If I can take advantage of Jiannu not paying too much attention to it, and make proper arrangements, I may be able to enter the city of Jinzhou in one go. In this way, the siege of Jinzhou will be solved immediately.

At that time, Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and Shanhaiguan were connected to each other, and both land and sea lines could transport grain and grass to ensure the needs of the army.

In the original history, it was the Ming army's Hong Chengchou who was in a hurry to attack. Zu Dashou in Jinzhou city also responded from inside and outside, and broke out from the city, even breaking the two defense lines of Jiannu. Unfortunately, the reinforcements were weak and retreated. Zu Dashou could only Returning to the city again, it fell short.

If this is the case, Jiannu suffered heavy injuries and was shocked. Dorgon almost led the army back to Yizhou. He and Hauge were scolded by Huang Taiji, the slave chief, and fined.

In the end, Huang Taiji vomited blood and rushed for more than [-] miles to the front line of Songjin, and recruited the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Han Army to fight. In the end, Hong Chengchou was defeated, captured and thrown into slavery, and his reputation was damaged.

He only heard him say: "Hong Duchen, Zhang Jianjun, my lords, in Zhang Cheng's view, the Dongludun soldiers between Song and Jin did not happen in recent months.

According to the previous military report, there are no more than [-] to [-] slaves in the Songjinjian. They have not recruited all the people from the whole country to come, so it can be seen that they have no plan to fight me in the Songjinjian.

The slaves occupy Yizhou, even if they farm nearby, the harvest cannot support an army of 10,000+. All the additional troops will be no more than [-] at most. No matter how many slaves there are, they will not be able to support them for a long time.

The thieves' strategy is obvious, and they intend to force the Zu Dashuai in Jinzhou City to commit crimes, so the strategy of siege was carried out, and they did not attack by force.

Although it is very urgent to persecute the Song and Xing fortresses today, the intention is still to test our division's reality, or force our division to enter the rescue, so that our division can be rushed, and the intention is to set up an ambush for help. "

Zhang Cheng paused for a moment, and then said: "There is a saying in the art of war that 'immovable like a mountain', Zhang Cheng thinks that we should send more sentry cavalry at present, so as to understand the distribution of slaves' troops and know where they are.

Our master should act like a rabbit, taking advantage of the fact that the slaves are unprepared, and even more while the army of slaves and thieves has not yet assembled, force the master to press on, and go straight to the city of Jinzhou in one go. "

He went on to say: "Otherwise, once the slave chieftain Huang Taiji knows that I have made the best of the whole country, he will definitely fight against the whole country, then it will be even more difficult to deal with.

As long as my master investigates carefully and knows the true and false status of the slave thieves, he will fight as hard as he can, and hit the slave formation directly with lightning speed.

Although the slaves are fierce and good at fighting, they must be invincible. As long as our master is united, the battle of Songjin must be done! "

Chen Jiugao, the former commander of the Shenji Battalion, was the first to applaud. As Zhang Cheng's brother-in-law, no matter what Zhang Cheng said was right or wrong, he must be praised in this scene.

What's more, according to Zhang Cheng's words, his own artillery battalion will be on standby at the back of the formation, and there is no need to kiss Mao Shishi, so how could he not support it!

Chen Jiugao was the first to stand up and support, followed by Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu and Zhang Cheng, who declared that they were all in one. Moreover, they also thought that Zhang Cheng's words were correct, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen also nodded in agreement, and then, Liu Zhaoji, Li Fuming, Zuo Guangxian and other veterans who had been with Hong Chengchou for a long time also nodded, thinking that it was feasible.

Hong Chengchou also saw that even Wu Sangui, the commander of Ningyuan, was secretly nodding to him. In fact, Wu Sangui was still thinking about Zhang Cheng's hint at the banquet last night, so how could he object in such a large crowd?

Although there is no specific strategy in Zhang Cheng's words, and there is no best-of-both-worlds strategy, but when the two sides are in dispute, it can also ease the atmosphere of the discussion and give the two sides a step up.

Zhang Ruoqi first laughed, and said: "That's right, Zongbing Zhang's words fit my heart very well, the generals of my division must not fear the enemy and advance timidly, but also must not rush forward.

It is necessary for the military to plan before moving, but it is also not allowed to wait for a long time and procrastinate with excuses.My job is to supervise the army. I should be loyal to the king's affairs and share my worries for the sage. Although it is not yet possible to march immediately, I must make a plan quickly and march into Songjin as soon as possible. "

He turned around and saluted Hong Chengchou again: "I am worried about the king's affairs in my job, so I was a little anxious just now, but I also have a public heart for the country, I hope Governor Hong will not mind."

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard with one hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Master Zhang came to the army to praise the painting strategy. It is indeed the blessing of the governor, and also the blessing of the master of the king. How can the governor care about it?
Mr. Zhang, please take your seat. "
