Chapter 31: I am a strategic talent

The central court has mobilized civil and military officials from all over the country, especially in terms of military officers.

At present, most of the military officers of the Beijing Dusi were transferred from other places, and most of them were the "Northern Army" system.

The so-called "Northern Army" does not refer to the establishment of the Northern Army and Southern Army in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but simply refers to the generals and soldiers leading troops in the north for a long time.

The largest and most threatening enemy of the Ming Dynasty was in the north. During Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, he repeatedly started a war with the Northern Yuan Dynasty. He suffered heavy casualties and injuries and repeatedly weakened the Northern Yuan Dynasty. At the same time, many of the Northern Yuan shepherds could not bear it and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. After twenty or thirty years, they finally weakened the Northern Yuan to the greatest extent.

However, the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which was so weak that it was almost on the verge of destruction, was still the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, so so many garrisons were placed in the north and a border wall system was established.

Currently, the Northern Yuan Dynasty has actually been divided into two forces, one is to cultivate and maintain health in the later generations of Ulaanbaatar, and the other is to lie around the west bank of Heilongjiang.

The Northern Yuan forces operating near Heilongjiang had frequent private contacts with Tainingwei and Duoyanwei. Even when the Ming Dynasty hired Tainingwei and Duoyanwei to fight the Northern Yuan team of Ulaanbaatar, the Northern Yuan shepherds who were "mercenaries" in the Ming Dynasty would not show any mercy.

Among Zhu Yuanzhang's many sons, Zhu Di was not the one who could fight the most. For example, the King of Qin Zhu Xi was not less than Zhu Di in terms of military achievements, but Zhu Xi was too capable.

Several princes who could fight died one after another. The living Zhu Di became the one with the highest prestige among the many princes among the "Northern Army" of the Ming Dynasty. With the actions of Jianwen, the effect of Zhu Di's shouting can be imagined.

On the second day of March, Zhang Bing and Xie Gui were captured, and civil and military officials who were loyal to the central court were also killed and captured one after another. Zhu Di's forces easily regained control of Peiping.

Zhu Di himself went to the military camp outside the city to meet with the generals and the army was included in his command without much effort.

"Prince, I am not familiar with military affairs and have excellent rules. I can help the prince to handle logistics." Lu Yang handed Zhang Bing and Xie Gui to Zhu Di and told Zhu Di what he had thought of.

Now, "the composition" means mathematics, not to do things in a well-organized manner. Why is "the chapter" related to "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

Zhu Di said "hmm" and asked, "I have regained the army. Now I am thinking about going south immediately, or maybe cleaning the north and heading south in the map."

Isn’t this an obvious thing? It must first solve the threats from the surrounding areas and then stabilize the rear. Next, look at the actual situation and expand rapidly, or occupy a base area to prepare for a protracted war.

But Lu Yang knew that Zhu Di was taking the exam and replied: "Song Zhong, Xu Kai, and Geng Yan stationed troops in Kaiping, Linqing and Shanhaiguan areas. The prince originally annihilated these three people first. I thought it was feasible now, so I seized Juyong Pass to regain Beiping, and then lured Song Zhong's troops to Huailai. The prince's troops were many horse soldiers, and Huailai was flat, so it was not difficult to annihilate Song Zhong's troops..."

Didn’t there be a lack of entertainment at the beginning? These things were learned by Lu Yang based on the map and the Shanchuan Log. After thinking about it for a long time, he had been thinking about how to prevent the emergencies in a short period of time after taking over Peking.

First, control Juyongguan, then take down Shanhaiguan, and take down Shanhaiguan, you can also take over tens of thousands of troops from the Daning Dusi. At this time, the army of the central court should also go north to quell the rebellion.

Zhu Di's expression was a little confused and said, "I don't know how to say military affairs? What you said is no different from what I think."

Zhu Di repeatedly thought about these things before the uprising. The action plan after the uprising and what he wanted to do after the uprising was not much different from what Lu Yang said.

Lu Yang said: "I may plan strategies, but wartime tactics are really not good."

Strategy and tactics are two different things.

Tactics emphasize flexible dispatch on the battlefield based on actual conditions. It not only requires the wisdom to take charge of the situation, but also the vision to clearly distinguish the development of the situation.

Strategy is to be able to see the overall situation clearly and know where control is beneficial to the future development of the power. It involves more long-term layout. In addition to exercising military capabilities, you must have sufficient civil affairs skills.

To put it bluntly, tactics are responsible for stabbing the knife, while strategy is about making the knife. One is about on-site performance, and the other is more focused on various operations.

Zhu Di was overjoyed and said, "The only one I lack is strategic talents."

It seems to be the same?

Ninety-ninety percent of Zhu Di's subordinates are martial artists, and they have to rely on their eldest son Zhu Gaochi to manage logistics supplies. They lack the ability to maintain stability and build the region. There is no one who can take charge of the overall civil affairs. I originally thought that only one Zhu Gaochi could rely on, but I didn't expect that Lu Yang said that he was very good at that aspect.

What kind of talent is the most important when doing big things?

For a long time, Zhang Liang and Xiao He are indispensable helpers in doing big things. Zhang Liang is a good military strategy for long-term development, while Xiao He is a person who can manage production and manage the military's logistics properly.

Many people wonder why Liu Bang thought that Xiao He was the first hero of success. They probably forgot that the army had no logistics and collapsed on its own in minutes.

Xiao He had never shortened the army's food and fodder, and the remaining supplies could be supported when needed, so that the various Han troops could be conquered. Even if Liu Bang lost repeatedly and lost, he could quickly bring up a team again. Why couldn't Xiao He be the number one hero in the early Han Dynasty?

Zhang Liang, who is very famous and thought it was awesome, is only ranked 62nd among the heroes of the early Han Dynasty. Why is this? Maybe it can be thought of by others as he thinks of, especially without the experience of personally leading the army to fight.

Without actual command of the army, nor any significant performance in logistics, Zhang Liang ranked 62nd, although there is controversy, there is definitely a reason.

Another Han Xin who commanded the army to destroy Xiang Yu was only ranked 21st among the heroes of the early Han Dynasty. He was ranked higher than Zhang Liang, but he was only ranked 21st. The reason was somewhat similar to Zhang Liang's experience. He was either from Pei County or one of the biggest factors affecting the ranking.

Zhu Di immediately made the decision and asked Lu Yang to assist Zhu Gaochi in managing logistics and respond to all matters, and also asked Lu Yang to serve as a role similar to Zhang Liang, that is, to serve as a counselor.

Lu Yang was so happy.

To be honest, Lu Yang felt that he would need to practice for several years before he could go to the battlefield to kill people. It would probably be difficult to command the army at the beginning and it would not be suitable for taking on heavy responsibilities when fighting against the wind.

"Are you familiar with these matters?" Zhu Gaochi was counting the supplies available to the army, and immediately became happy when he heard what Lu Yang came to do.
