Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

Zhang Huangyan smiled wryly,
"How come I don't know Li Heng's words?
If you want to defend the area from Taihu Lake to Songjiang, you must have a strong army that can fight Qinggou in the field.But we don't have such a strong army now. "

Yan Yingyuan showed a determined look on his face.He looked at Zhang Huangyan and said,

"Master Zhang, as long as you give Liu Liangzuo's more than [-] surrendered troops to my command, and then let General Li Laiheng lead the cavalry to stay here, I will be able to guard this land of abundance.

If he can't keep it, Yan is willing to apologize with death. "

Zhang Huangyan pondered for a while before asking, "

If Duoduo leads the Eight Banners soldiers to attack, how are you going to respond? "

Yan Yingyuan said confidently,
"Nowadays the weather is hot, and most of the Eight Banners retreated to Jinling City to escape the summer heat. Most of the people who followed Boluo to sweep Songjiang Mansion were the gang of traitors from the Eight Banners of Han. Their combat effectiveness may not be stronger than that of the Loyalty Camp.

As long as General Li Laiheng gives me three months, I have a way to train Liu Liangzuo's rout soldiers into an army capable of fighting the Eight Banners Army before the cold winter comes. "

"How to train?"

Zhang Huangyan was not persuaded by Yan Yingyuan's rhetoric, so he continued to ask.

"Of course, the "Ji Xiao New Book" left by Qi Shuai Jiguang was used to train these rout soldiers, and the harsh military law of the Seventeenth Prohibition and 54 beheadings was used to serve as low-level officers with [-] simple and courageous Jiangyin civilian troops to completely reform this group of incompetent soldiers. Weakness is just a slick veteran."

Yan Yingyuan then described in detail the specific ideas of Bing Yu's transformation of these veterans.

Chen Mingyu, Feng Houdun, Wang Gonglue also put forward their own ideas.

Before their sudden rise to power, they were all low-level officials, and they were well versed in the psychology of these soldiers.The ideas presented are basically the right medicine.

After they expressed their thoughts, they stared at Zhang Huangyan to see if Zhang Huangyan agreed with this bold strategy.

As Yan Yingyuan said, if they could establish a foundation in Su Changsong's affluent triangle, they would directly threaten the Qing chieftain in Jinling.

The chieftain of the Qing Dynasty no longer dared to let go of his hands and feet, and aggressively attacked the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

Although they are already second-rank senior officials, they haven't been able to adapt to the change of status.

They still put forward their opinions, and then Zhang Huangyan, a senior official of the first rank, made the final decision.

Zhang Huangyan suddenly laughed.

"You guys are indeed bold and ambitious. Since you are planning to build a base under the eyes of the Qing soldiers, how could I refuse you?

Lord Yan, since you already have a plan in mind, you don't need to ask me.The imperial decree has already stated that from now on, you and Chen Feng will be responsible for all conquests in Southern Zhili.

If you have any thoughts or opinions in the future, you can directly write them into a memorial, and the present majesty will personally decide.

Strictly speaking, in this area of ​​Nanzhili, you don't need to listen to me.Instead, I insist on listening to you. "

Yan Yingyuan quickly laughed and said,
"Master Zhang is a star of Wenqu, and the few of us are just lucky people who meet at the right time. No matter when it comes, we will still follow Master Zhang's lead."

In the next few days, Yan Yingyuan completely assumed the role of the commander of the Nanzhili capital.

He began to issue orders to the Ming army and the rebel army everywhere.

Of course, his current identity is not accepted by the Ming army or the rebel army everywhere.After all, many people look down on this high official who has risen suddenly from Dianshi.

Yan Yingyuan also knew it well.

But he was not discouraged. He believed that as long as he trained tens of thousands of elite soldiers, he would be able to recover most of the state capitals in Nanzhili, and make these Ming army generals who were bolder than chickens obey him.

Therefore, Yan Yingyuan devoted most of his energy to training the new army, in addition to using part of his energy to command the Ming army in various places.

He dispersed 5 Jiangyin civilian troops and served as more than [-] defeated officers at all levels, and then trained them in strict accordance with Qi Jiguang's "Ji Xiao Xin Shu".

In the first few days of training, at least a hundred veterans who disobeyed military orders had to be killed every day.

Killed 600 people, and finally killed these veterans, and never dared to be lazy and slippery in training.

It's a pity that before Yan Yingyuan could train these soldiers, Bo Luo brought [-] Han Banners and [-] Mongolian Banners to kill them.

And behind Boluo's army, there is also the artillery unit led by Kong Youde, the respectful king.

At this moment, the Ming army seems to have nearly 7 people, but it is a mob.

Except for Li Laiheng's [-] cavalry, the other Ming troops would definitely be defeated once they fought the Qing army in a field battle.

After all, Liu Liangzuo's army is a veteran of defeat.

Although Jiangyin's civilian army dared to fight, it was not a regular army after all, and could not fight large-scale field battles.

The best way to deal with the enemy is to disperse tens of thousands of troops and stick to several big cities around Taihu Lake, such as Suzhou, Huzhou, Xiuzhou, Changzhou and other state capitals.

As for the people outside the city, they can only ignore it.

Yan Yingyuan didn't want to adopt such a conservative strategy.

At this time Zhang Huangyan had rushed back to Shaoxing.

Yan Yingyuan must decide all the major plans of the war.

Yan Yingyuan was originally a general with both wisdom and courage.

Facing the approaching Boluo army, he decided to use a strange plan to win.

In Jiangyin City, he called the generals to a meeting.

And put forward a strategy to invite the king into the urn at the meeting.

This strategy is not very unusual, but it was formulated by grasping Boluo's arrogance and contempt for the Ming army.

After hearing the details of this strategy, Li Laiheng immediately clapped his hands and laughed loudly,

"Brother Yan, I heard that Boluo has always been arrogant and looks down on the Ming army. I'm sure that guy will fall into the trap."

Li Laiheng is an acquaintance, and Yan Yingyuan and others are brothers.

Yan Yingyuan sneered,

"Bo Luo just swept across the southern Zhejiang region, and it was the time when he was extremely proud. This time, we will find a way to kill him and his army.

As long as Boluo is defeated, Kong Youde will never have the guts to lead his troops here.That way, we'll be free to train new recruits. "

Chen Mingyu said, "The key to this strategy is that the general who lures Boluo into the city must be bold and careful, and even have the courage to fight to the death. Who should be sent?"

Yan Yingyuan smiled and said,
"Let Ji Congxiao be in charge of luring Boluo into the city, and Li Laiheng joins forces with Chen Zilong and Wu Yi, the leader of the white-headed army in Taihu Lake, to attack and kill the Eight Banners Army of Han and Mongolia who are staying outside the city."

Ji Congxiao was the leader of the porters in Jiangyin City. Because of his outstanding performance in the defense of the city, he was appointed by Yan Yingyuan as a thousand households in Changzhou.

From a low-level porter to an official general of Ming Dynasty, Ji Congxiao is extremely grateful to Daming.

The rebel army led by Chen Zilong and Wu Yi was the only rebel army in Southern Zhili that obeyed Yan Yingyuan's restraint.

After receiving Yan Yingyuan's order, the illiterate Ji Congxiao immediately dictated a reply.

"Even if Ji is smashed to pieces, he still has to trap and kill the Boluo thief."
