Chapter 566: A spark can start a prairie
Wu Sangui comes from Liaodong Town, but Xu Dingguo comes from Ji Town. The two were not subordinate to each other before. However, the orders of the Ministry of War were very clear. Xu Dingguo cooperated with Wu Sangui to fight. Northern Zhili was at the feet of the emperor and under his nose. As long as Wu Sangui filed a complaint, Xu Dingguo would be in trouble. In the eyes of the court, Wu Sangui had more weight than Xu Dingguo.
In addition, Wu Sangui is a cavalry, and Xu Dingguo is an infantryman. How could Xu Dingguo not obey Wu Sangui's command? Unless he is desperate. In places like Northern Zhili, without cavalry cooperation and infantry attacking alone is simply seeking death. No matter how stupid Xu Dingguo is, he should know that the Hu Ben Army has cavalry arrived in Northern Zhili.
Therefore, it can only be said that Wu Sangui wanted Xu Dingguo to die. After all, they went south this time to cause trouble for Zhang Zhun, and wanted to kill Zhang Zhun or expel him from Northern Zhili. If there was no battle at all, they could not explain to the court. Since people were to die, let Xu Dingguo die. Wu Sangui's own cavalry was still relatively precious. He wanted to see the strength of the Hu Ben Army and then take action.
When Xu Dingguo paid a certain price, Wu Sangui's value became even more important. He would estimate the time when the Tartars went south, and then pretend to attack Zhang Zhun. Perhaps when the two armies were in battle, the news of the Tartars going south would be transmitted to the Ministry of War, and then he could quickly march northward, occupy a favorable position of Tianjin Wei, sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and make profits.
I have to admit that it is really a scheming!
Chen Yuanyuan...is it also Wu Sangui's plan?
Zhang Zhun suddenly smiled slightly: "General Wu, do you know a woman named Chen Yuanyuan?"
Wu Sangui shook his head in confusion and said affirmatively: "I don't know you."
Zhang Zhun nodded and said in a mysterious way: "You'd better not know each other."
...
"In the history of ancient wars in my country, whether it was Liu Bang, Liu Xiu, Liu Bei, Li Yuan, Zhu Yuanzhang, these founding politicians attached importance to and devoted themselves to the establishment and construction of bases in the early stages of their business, thus laying the foundation for their career development. One of the important reasons why the peasant uprising troops such as Huang Chao failed was that they had long-term mobile warfare and did not establish a stable base."
Zhang Zhun said slowly.
After Wu Sangui left, Zhang Zhun summoned officers at all levels of the Hu Ben Army in Hejian Prefecture, as well as some backbones from the Winter Sorrow Sect, as well as some young backbones from Dongjiabao, Caojiabao and Liujiabao, and took a two-day course. The content of the course was established around the establishment of a base.
Some secret agreements were reached between Wu Sangui and Zhang Zhun, and both sides gained certain benefits. Wu Sangui had hope of making a fortune, and Zhang Zhun had hope to further expand his influence in Northern Zhili. Now, Zhang Zhun wanted to further expand the influence of the Hu Ben Army.
This lecture was held at the strong request of Dong Daowu.
In the collision between Zhang Zhun and Wu Sangui, Dong Sanhuai, Cao Siming, Liu Zongshao, Liu Zongli and others obviously retreated. They were quite self-aware and understood that the level between them and Zhang Zhun and Wu Sangui was completely different. Therefore, they tactfully withdrew from the fight between the two, so as not to fight the gods and the little ghosts suffered.
However, Dong Daowu, Dong Huaxia and other younger generations of the Dong family, as well as Liu Zongshao, Liu Xunchun, Liu Zongchun, Liu Zongchun, Cao Feihe, and others, had a strong interest in Zhang Zhun. The young people are always more motivated. Since the court has forced them to such a situation, they are certainly unwilling to kill them. They are all willing to follow Zhang Zhun to fight.
There is no doubt about rebellion for them. The key is how to rebel. They are not lacking in enthusiasm, energy, or even people, food, or weapons. The only thing they lack is correct guidance. They are all too young. Too young means lack of experience, means being prone to making mistakes, means being prone to detours, and easily suffering losses. Of course, Zhang Zhun has to work hard to help them.
Zhang Zhun promised Wu Sangui that he would not make too many moves or further stimulate the court. The Hu Ben Army would only move in the triangular area between Dongjiabao, Caojiabao and Liujiabao. However, Dong Daowu, Dong Huaxia, Liu Zongchun and others made appropriate actions, but it had nothing to do with Zhang Zhun. All their actions were "spontaneous" and were spontaneous behaviors within the people of Northern Zhili.
There are so many martial arts practitioners in Hejian Prefecture, and some people are doing small moves below. It was normal for them to do something. At the beginning, the Ma family army bullied the village everywhere. Didn’t the government say that the Ma family army had nothing to do with them? Now, the Ma family army has been defeated and someone has risen up again. It is natural for them to make trouble. You can’t just allow the state officials to set fires and the people to light the lights, right?
There are more than a dozen prefectures, more than one hundred counties, and millions of people in Northern Zhili. When the Hu Ben Army is not dispatched, the influence of the Hu Ben Army is to be extended to the greatest extent, and only these "civil organizations" can be relied on. Well, Zhang Zhun called them civil organizations and firmly denied that they had any connection with the Hu Ben Army - this was spontaneously formed by the civilians in Northern Zhili.
A spark can start a prairie fire. Once the people in Northern Zhili are successfully launched, not only will Dong Shuyan's population migration plan be implemented more smoothly, but it can also effectively surround the capital. What is a people's war? It means that there is infinite and endless manpower. Ten thousand people died in the front and ten thousand people immediately added to the back. This is the people's war. In an era without weapons of great lethality, the human sea tactics are absolutely very scary, especially the organized, disciplined and trained human sea tactics.
Liu Xunchun, Liu Zongchun, Dong Daowu, Dong Huaxia, Cao Feihe and others were Zhang Zhun’s first batch of Mars. They had background, ability, passion, and motivation, and could easily ignite Mars in Hejian Prefecture. What Zhang Zhun had to do was to let them take the right path from the beginning. The most important step to take the right path is to build a base and mobilize all the people in Northern Zhili.
"War is a contest of human and material resources. Human and material resources cannot be separated from the continuous supply of the rear base. Therefore, no matter which dynasty or the era, whether a strong and consolidated strategic base is established is related to whether every political and military group can gain a foothold in the complex political and military struggles, stand invincible under the siege of powerful enemies or heroes, gain survival and development, and ultimately eliminate all opponents and win victory."
"Huang Chao was the leader of the peasant army in the late Tang Dynasty. He adopted the policy of avoiding the real and attacking the virtual. He went out of Shandong twice to launch mobile warfare and fought for a long distance. He also achieved great victory in the early stage and once occupied Chang'an, the capital of Tang. However, due to long-term mobile warfare, there was no stable base. When the Tang army besieged Chang'an, the peasant army had no food and grass, no reinforcements outside, and the rebellion of Zhu Wen, and so on, they finally failed."
"We are now looking at the civilian army in Shaanxi. They also have such problems. They fought from Shaanxi to Shanxi, from Shanxi to Henan, from Henan to Nanzhili, and finally moved to Huguang, Xichuan, and Gansu. They galloped thousands of miles and had many places. However, they could not stabilize. Their wounded were not safe, their food was not guaranteed, they had no stable source of wealth, they were in a long-term hard battle, and the troops had no chance to rest and rectify. If this continued, there would be a big problem."
After being a non-commissioned officer for eight years, what Zhang Zhun is most familiar with is of course Mao Zedong's military thought. He can speak out and does not need to be brains at all. In fact, Zhang Zhun believes that as long as people of this era can integrate Mao Zedong's military thought, rebel, separatist, and occupy land to become king, it is absolutely no problem.
No matter how strong the Tartars are, are there any Americans?
No matter how bad Chang Kaishen is, he is a little better than Chongzhen, right?
"Where should be chosen according to it? You should choose a favorable area, that is, a place where the enemy has weak power, superior terrain and mass base. The successful founders in history rely on the victory of mountains and rivers during their entrepreneurial period to establish a solid base. For example, the Bashu area is dominated by mountains and rivers, and the roads are rugged and difficult to move. The Qin land is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the four blocks are bound to be solid. There is a sudden emergency. A million people can be possessed... The so-called Tianfu is the so-called Tianfu... This is also a stern and silence of the world."
"Liu Bang fought with Xiang Yu to fight for the world, and the Bashu and Guanzhong bases were all areas with dangerous situations, rich manpower and material resources. Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" suggested that Liu Bei have Jingyi to protect his rocks. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Kuang and Wang Feng revolted, gathered in Lulin Mountain. The Songjiang Uprising of the Northern Song Dynasty relied on Liangshan Lake."
"The Southern Song Dynasty Zhong Xiang and Yang Mo's uprising depended on Dongting Lake. These peasant rebels, the so-called mountain kings, gathered in the mountains, forests and rivers far away from the center of feudal rule, relying on the dangerous geographical terrain to resist the suppression of the ruling class and fight against it with storm."
On the afternoon of the first day, Zhang Zhun began to explain more specifically.
"How to establish a base? It's nothing more than three aspects: organization, regime, and armed forces."
"In history, the founders attached great importance to the construction of base areas and military power in the construction of base areas. During the Chu-Han War, Xiao He stayed with Prime Minister to take over Bashu, served the prince in the rear base areas, governed Liyang, established ancestral temples, states, palaces, counties and towns, and strengthened the construction of central government and local governments at all levels. The household registration was transferred to the army. The Han king lost several troops and fled, and He Changxing died in Hanzhong, and he always made up for the gap."
"Xiao He constantly transported troops and rations to the front, proving that while he was restoring and developing agricultural production in the rear, he also focused on recruiting and training troops, manufacturing ordnance, and accumulating strategic materials, providing sufficient quota and rations for the long-term war in the front, and the safety of the supply line was also effectively guaranteed by force."
"Liu Xiu, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty, went to Hebei and visited the counties and counties to investigate the officials, whether they could be promoted or demoted, restored the Han officials, selected talented officials, strengthened the construction of the government, and governed the local government. He asked Kou Xun, who was guarding Henoi, to give him enough military rations, lead the strong soldiers and horses to prevent and contain other troops, and not to cross the north. Kou Xun, following Liu Xiu's instructions, not only stabilized the social order of the rear base and strengthened defense, but also transferred grain from the base area and managed equipment to supply the army. Although the army was on an expedition, it was not short of it."
"Zhuge Liang's countermeasures at the Longzhong period suggested that after Liu Bei's occupation of Jingyi, his first priority was not to attack Cao Cao, but to cooperate with Zhurong in the west, pacify Yiyue in the south, build Sun Quan outside, and revise political principles within. That is, to strengthen the construction of regimes, legal system, and other internal forces, and to establish national and diplomatic relations outside. Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Yingtian, abolished the harsh government of the Yuan Dynasty, hired talented people, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. Wang Xiaobo, Li Shun uprising in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhong Xiang, Yang Mo uprising in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Liu Futong uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, while destroying the local governments of the feudal rulers and capturing corrupt officials, he had established peasant regimes in his base areas."
"Looking at the historical history, these heroes who have reformed the past and made new innovations can strengthen the construction of new regimes in the base area while destroying the old world, strictly enforce laws and regulations, stabilize or establish a new order, appease the people, train the army, strengthen combat readiness, and build a stable strategic rear for the sake of making the cause bigger and stronger."
After a day of teaching, the attendees had some insights. This is certain. Because Zhang Zhun's narration was definitely a unique secret to rebellion. In the social environment at that time, this move was simply invincible. If there were Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong among the people who were listening to the lectures below, they would definitely have a deep feeling.
Starting from the next day, Zhang Zhun's topic became more in-depth.
"What is people's war? The core essence of people's war is to carry out the agrarian revolution in depth, strengthen economic construction, and win the support of the broadest masses of people! In short, it is to win the most people to fight with you! On the battlefield, if you fight ten times, the chances of winning are always relatively high!"
"Liu Bang's prime minister Xiao He stayed in Bashu and Guanzhong base, filled out pacifications and paid tribute, and kept the food route. He could pay attention to strict laws and regulations, stabilize order, appease the people, develop production, and support the front line. Liu Xiu sent prisoners in Hebei Ping, and eliminated Wang Mang's harsh government to resettle refugees who were transferred to eat, and developed production. The officials and the people were happy and fought for cattle and wine to welcome labor."
"In order to change the current situation of food shortage and support the long-term war, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of this dynasty, appointed Kang Maocai as the Dushui Camp field envoy, responsible for the construction of water conservancy in the base area. He formulated a system of farming and fighting (i.e., military farming) and ordered all troops to reclaim wasteland and plant grain at their garrisons, and decided on the rewards and punishments based on the output. Wang Xiaobo of the Northern Song Dynasty proposed the slogan of equalizing the rich and the poor."
"Li Shun ordered the landlords to report all their property and food, except for their living needs, and all the excess was confiscated and distributed to the poor. Zhong Xiang announced that all those who participated in the uprising would be exempted from taxes and labor service and were not bound by the laws of the Southern Song Dynasty. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the peasant army abolished the rent and labor service and opened warehouses to help the poor. The vast majority of poor peasants took back the land from the landlords. A large number of expulsions and craftsmen regained their personal freedom."
"Many people here may not know the importance of mobilizing the masses. However, I must remind everyone that there are many people and great power. No one is omnipotent. Many work needs to be completed by relying on multiple people to work together. You may look at a person who may be inconspicuous, but at critical moments, it may play a huge role."
After the two-day lecture, Zhang Zhun left Dongjiabao.
