Zhang Ziming didn't know much about this thing. In fact, it was the general war in later generations. The top level of the entire regime issued orders, and then the total war was carried out from the national level. Every point of mobilization was mobilized, and every place that could be destroyed by the enemy was destroyed. This was a life-and-death war. All winners won, and all losers lost. In this era to the 19th century, the war for hundreds of years was more like a war between knights under the guidance of the West. War had a goal, and whether or not the goal would end depending on the situation. Moreover, war was a matter between the army, and the use or destruction of civilian forces was quite limited.

Until World War I, the war rose to the national level, and the economy and normal operation of the entire country gave way to the war. Factory construction mainly produced military supplies, and then civilian supplies. Indiscriminate attacks and bombing not only targeted the army, but also targeted everything in the belligerent countries, attacked the other party's industry and commerce, and made their national economy bankrupt, and even massacre and destruction. The war completely became a monster, and no one could be outside it.

Zhang Han's overall war concept is not much different from the future situation. Once Hutchison's huge potential is used for war, Hutchison's organization and mobilization capabilities are definitely far from that during World War I, but compared to the Ming Dynasty, it is really different from that of heaven and earth, and it may be left behind by hundreds of streets.

The national strength of the Ming Dynasty is definitely not comparable to that of the Hutchison, and the Later Jin Dynasty could not keep up with it. However, this huge giant was not as good as a slave country like the Later Jin Dynasty, which was a military-peasant and peasant-in-law, not to mention that it was compared with the countries in later World War.

Once a full-scale war with the Later Jin Dynasty was launched, Zhang Han would decisively issue a general mobilization order, and before he completely defeated the Later Jin Dynasty, his strongest enemy, everything Hutchison would give way to the war.

Of course, this is also Zhang Han's reaction to regard the Later Jin as the last strong enemy. It is quite normal and does not understand the rest of the military commander very well. However, people also know that the Jurchen soldiers are not comparable to the Mongols, so they should complete Zhang Han's idea of ​​the overall war as much as possible.

"So that's how it is." Zhang Ziming nodded and said, "If you say so, you must prepare to fight the Donglu."

"Yes!" Zhang Yansheng said confidently: "It's only a matter of time before we fight Lin Danhan. Sooner or later, we will face the Donglu."

"If you fight the Donglu, you will be in peace."

"this……"

Zhang Yansheng didn't say anything. His father, like ordinary people, still had a lot of concerns about war.

But in the eyes of the soldiers, the Eastern Barbarians were just a strong target. Before they were dealt with, they had to continue pushing north and take back the old land of Nuer Gandusi.

There is also the former land of Beiting and Anxi during the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, there is also the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone has a very complicated relationship with the Ming Dynasty. As a member of Hutchison, of course I hope Zhang Han can go higher.

But now the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has not lost his morality. Even after Hutchison emerged, he still maintained his mind to integrate Hutchison, and only took some precautions.

Many tough guys think that as long as they have enough power, they will hit it, but for a lot of young officers such as Zhang Yansheng, if they don’t have a reason to do so, they will not be able to overcome this psychological level.

As for what will happen in the future, whether he really has to attack the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Yansheng was not completely sure at this time.

"The convoy and the soldiers headed east."

Outside the restaurant is the official road leading to several important places. Under the north wind, the military flags are flying, and a large number of troops are riding horses. The soldiers without armor and only wearing military jackets have a mighty spirit, which makes all passing people stop and take off their hats to pay tribute to these soldiers.

There were also a large number of convoys of baggage and vehicles that were transporting a large number of military supplies.

The entire official road was filled with army and convoys.

"The car is snatched, the horse is roaring, and the pedestrians are bowed and arrows are all on their waists." Zhang Ziming was a little drunk and shouted loudly when he saw this: "This feeling is really as mentioned in the poem."

Zhang Yansheng felt a little embarrassed. As expected, his father still didn't read much. Du Gongbu's poem talked about the suffering of the people. During the war, the people were displaced and were forced to guard the border with white hair. When he came back, he was no longer with his relatives. Du Fu also wrote many similar poems, including forced recruits from the army and returning from home with white hair when he was young. There were many similar poems, so people with calm personalities like Du Fu, because although the poem does not have the light and fairy spirit of Li Bai's poem, through Du Fu, you can see the suffering of the people when the prosperous Tang Dynasty declined, which is a truly first-hand historical material.

Of course, these words were also learned by Zhang Yansheng in school. The intermediate officer test was not that easy. Although the most important thing is military theory and arithmetic, the foundation of writing and language is also necessary. Officers must not only understand war, but also understand history and literature. This is Zhang Han's requirement for his military officers. Judging from Zhang Yansheng's reaction, the results are quite good.

"Come on, I won't delay your boy from seeing your mother."

The two of you drink while eating. Eating and drinking are the second priority. The main thing is to cherish this rare time of encounter.

After more than an hour of delay, Zhang Ziming calculated that he should be chasing the convoy. When he stood up, his eyes were a little red again.

"I hope Lord Zhang will defeat both the Beilu and Donglu as soon as possible." Zhang Ziming said: "We men can have a meal in peace."

"Even in the future, I will be an officer." Zhang Yansheng quickly stated: "I will not go to the business."

"I know." Zhang Ziming was not angry. He patted his son's shoulder, but found that his son had grown taller than him in the past two years. He was happy and a little disappointed. He said at the moment: "Don't delay you from following Lord Zhang to make achievements. You will have to rest for two years and buy some industries for you to retreat in the future."

Zhang Yansheng agreed, watching Zhang Ziming step onto the horse, both father and son nodded to each other. Only then did Zhang Ziming see the military rank sign on Zhang Yansheng's shoulders, and then he saw that his son was already a company commander.

As a trusted businessman under Hutchison, Zhang Ziming is still very clear about the ranks of the merchant army, and of course he also knows the welfare benefits of officers at all levels.

Zhang Yansheng is at a company level at this age. He may reach the battalion level in more than ten years. By then, he will have at least 3,000 acres of land output every year, or even more.

Wouldn’t my so-called “retreat” be a joke in my son’s mind?

Zhang Ziming felt a sense of pride in his heart. A good boy is doing well, but how can my father lose to you? No matter what, the money earned by businessmen is still incomparable to joining the army. The industry I earn will make you enjoy your life when you lie down and enjoy it. It is best to have more children. In the future, the Zhang family in Banshengcheng will follow the Zhang family in Qingcheng, and will be a prominent family, and will be passed down from generation to generation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ziming immediately laughed, waved to Zhang Yansheng, and then rode away.

Seeing my father like this, Zhang Yansheng smiled. No matter what, his father is now very good. He can hardly remember what he looked like. He was worried that he would not have enough food all day long, and often ashamed that his whole family would stop eating or eat wild vegetables for many days. He could not remember what he was worried about being afraid of being under the Mongol cavalry all day long, for fear that he would anger these northern enemies would be insulted or beaten or even killed because of something.

Gone are the shadows and fearfulness!

...

The war in western Liaoning gradually stabilized, and there were fewer Tangbao messengers who entered Dongbianmen and Chongwenmen every day.

When there were too many Tang newspapers, there were urgent cases from Dongjiang and western Liaoning every day. When people in the capital saw Tang newspapers coming, they were worried, and everyone was worried.

People all understand that there is only one Shanhaiguan between the Ming Dynasty's capital and the Donglu, which is the most reliable. If the gate is broken, the outcome will definitely be bad.

The most optimistic situation is that the capital was besieged again. The last time it was recorded during the Longqing period, which has been more than fifty years since now.

Many people in their sixties still remember the situation at that time. The martial law in the capital was strictly enforced. All the high-ranking officials, nobles and eunuchs took turns to guard the city gates and heads of the capital. The emperor ordered Gaoge Lao and Zhangge General to make an announcement. The Beijing camp was admired by the British Duke. The imperial guards of the three major camps and the four guards were urgently mobilized. More than 100,000 Beijing camps were guarding the various gates of the capital. It was really a panic and all the plants were soldiers.

Later, reinforcements from various towns in Jiubian rushed over one after another, and Altan Khan and his subordinates retreated from all over the border walls one after another. They were besieged by the Mongols twice in a row. The Ming Dynasty was completely disgraced.

It is also because of this that the Ming Dynasty's central center successively transferred famous generals such as Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang to the nine sides, and supported famous generals such as Li Chengliang and Ma Fang. The defense in the north was stabilized in several years, and each general was quite enterprising, especially Ma Fang in Datong and Li Chengliang in Liaodong, who almost had no power to fight back.

More than fifty years have passed, and the famous generals of that year have passed away long ago, and Li Chengliang, who lived the longest for more than ten years, has died. When talking about this, the old men shook their heads. Unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty was about to besiege the capital by the Tartars again.

There are also optimists, who generally believe that the capital city walls are dozens of miles long and wide, with high walls and deep ditches, heavy walls, and more than 100,000 troops guarding the Beijing camp, so there will definitely be no trouble or problems.

However, the real knowledgeable people are worried about the current situation. These people are truly familiar with the inside story and know that once the door is closed and the situation will be a very serious group of people.

Xu Guangqi was one of them. He had already served as the Minister of Rites, which seemed to be only one step away from entering the cabinet. However, Xu Guangqi himself knew that he believed in Catholicism and had a reputation for his religion, and had made his name for himself many times. He was also a standard outlier among relatively open literati and officials like the Ming Dynasty.

Since the news of the defeat in western Liaoning, Xu Guangqi has been very concerned. When Nuerhaci fought under Ningyuan City and the hearts of the people in the city gradually stabilized, Xu Guangqi was still quite worried. Every day, his students came to visit him and talk about the latest news. Everyone communicated with each other and felt that they would be much more at ease.

Everyone's opinions are the same. If Ningyuan is successfully captured, it means that the Eight Banners have the ability to conquer Shanhaiguan. Although Guancheng is more difficult than Ningyuan, the difficulty of defeating Ningyuan is no less than that of Guanguan. If Ningyuan and Juehua are both removed, then Shanhaiguan will be really dangerous.

Once Shanhaiguan is taken down, the troops garrisoned from Yongping to Zunhua and Santun camps will definitely not be able to stop the surging Eight Banners soldiers. It is inevitable that the capital will be surrounded. For many people, the capital will be surrounded by a destination, but Xu Guangqi often worrys that with his status, it is normal to understand some of the inside story. If the capital is really besieged for a day, whether it can be defended is really worrying.
