Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 541

Looking at the crowd, Jiang Min said: "There are about 1 Jin troops on Hedong Road, and they are mainly stationed in Taiyuan Prefecture. When they came, Jie Shuai said, choose a suitable place as a base, and it is best to turn it into a fort. That is to say, Shenshan In the county, all the places where people live are rebuilt into fortresses. If the Jin army comes to attack, they will have no food to grab and no one to use. When they retreat, they will chase them back. It is already early winter. It is very difficult to complete this task this year. But no matter how difficult it is, we must find a way to complete it.”

"In the five forts in the central part, we will build three forts first this year, and concentrate all our efforts to complete them as soon as possible. For the rest of the forts, we must understand the importance of this matter and build them within a month at all costs. As long as the forts are completed, only with the support of the Jin army With 1 horses, it is not easy to attack Shenshan County. We have artillery now, so of course we must find a way to defend the city with artillery. To the west of Chengnanzhai, at the foot of Shengwang Mountain, there is high-quality iron ore. There were iron smelting in the past, but the scale was not large. That's all. We have to find a way to mine iron there and use it to make iron cannons."

Looking at the doubts on the faces of the people below, Jiang Min raised his voice and said: "The artillery in our army is all made of copper. Don't think that the artillery can only be made of copper. Of course, you can also use iron. It's just made of iron. , the gun body is heavier, which is not conducive to field battles. We are defending the city, of course we can use iron cannons, which are much cheaper than copper cannons. Building a fort and placing iron cannons on it should ensure safety."

Speaking of this, Jiang Min took a sip of water, looked at the crowd quietly, and let everyone digest what he just said.

The number of Jurchens is small and the number of troops is insufficient, which is their fatal shortcoming.As long as the army of the Song Dynasty has combat effectiveness, the Jin Dynasty can only have one main direction of attack.If it is divided into two routes, there will be no mobile force, which is very dangerous.Now the Jin Dynasty is mainly attacking Sichuan and Shu, and has fewer troops in Hedong and Jingdong.For example, on Hedong Road, the Jin soldiers only have [-] soldiers and horses with Wanyan silver skills, and they are completely unable to defend.

The Jin army is not good at attacking fortifications, and Shenshan County is completely fortified, and no major mistakes are made. The entire Jin army of 1 people will not be afraid.

After being silent for a while, Jiang Min said: "We want to gain a foothold on Hedong Road. This year is the most difficult year. As long as we can defend this year and let us build a base, the Jin Army will have nothing to do with us. When we get there Time, it’s what we say. These days, I have basically figured out the situation in Shenshan County. Although it is barren here, it is not a problem to cultivate the land by yourself and raise thousands of people. The foundation will be laid this year, and we will wait until next year to start from other places. Recruit troops. My plan is to garrison 2000 troops in Shenshan County. Among them, 3000 will focus on farming and [-] will focus on fighting. Three thousand soldiers who can fight, the south of Hedong Road will be ours! At that time, it will not be so hard. gone."

Most importantly, with [-] soldiers ready to fight, Wang Xiaolie has gained the initiative on Hedong Road.Liang Xing, Li Songchen and others don't have many troops, so Jiang Min will be the main force at that time.Unifying the anti-gold forces on East Road will create greater momentum.

Jiang Min said: "Shenshan County, apart from its small size and small population, is actually pretty good. It is much richer than we originally thought. There are iron mines here, and they are good mines, which are easy to smelt. With the convenient iron , We have weapons, so it is easy to fight. With coal and iron, this place should be a rich place. As long as we work hard, we will be able to stand firm!"

Everyone cheered and said yes, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

When everyone calmed down, Jiang Min said: "A team must have its own rules. I'll tell you a few points, and you'd better remember them. If anyone commits a crime in the future, don't blame me for not teaching them!"

"First of all, everyone must understand that we are fighting in the mountainous area behind the enemy, and cannot be compared with the regular army. Everyone here must be familiar with life in the mountainous area, and must also be familiar with marching in the mountainous area. If there is really a large army of gold to attack, there is really no way. It is necessary to be able to hide in the mountains. Marching in the mountains not only has to go fast, but also ensure that the organization does not disperse. This requires that our teams be tightly organized at the first level and be able to act independently at critical times. When we are dispersed for a while, we can quickly Get organized. After you go back, you need to work hard on this aspect. This army must not only be able to fight with a large army, but more importantly, be familiar with fighting with a small army. Practice well at ordinary times, and don’t be unaware of how to do it when things come to an end.”

"When I was with Jieshuai, Jieshuai often talked about a truth, called limitless. What do you mean? In this world, everywhere is different. There are mountains and plains; there are seas and rivers; there are human beings and there are Livestock; there are animals, plants, and so on. This is the original difference in the world, which we can call degrees. These are different, and humans have given various names to understand and describe this world. Humans have named them , There must be boundaries between different names. These boundaries are drawn by human beings themselves, not in the world. There are these differences in the world, which are called degrees. The boundaries drawn by human beings for their own names , then it is called the boundary. Fundamentally speaking, this world has degrees but no boundaries. Many of us often forget this difference, mix degrees and boundaries together, and finally confuse calculations. So, when doing things We must not only pay attention to the details, but also explore and understand them. It is not enough to be meticulous, and we must often look at it from a distance. Only when we are far and near can we see a thing clearly. Our officers, if we have this ability, we must You must have this awareness. Don’t go into a dead end. If you look left and right, you can’t think clearly about a matter. Because there are degrees and no boundaries, and one thing cannot be from one angle.”

"Compared to localities, things in the army are simpler. If everything in daily life is so carefully considered, it is naturally impossible. There are no officials in the army, and everything is done by officers. Who would do things like this?" Can you bear it? So, for the daily affairs of the army, there are various official documents. The most important thing in these official documents is every form in them. Every item in these forms is added after the verification of practice. I I ask you, as long as the conditions permit, every form must be true and valid. Anyone who dares to fill in randomly must be punished! Don’t say this is not important, that is not important, it’s just a formality. It’s not important for you to fill out !"

"All official documents, all logs, everyone must take it seriously and fill it in carefully! What is this called? Things have passed, this is the archives of what we did, it is history. History cannot be tampered with! Every once in a while, I will send people to For spot checks. The checks are all incomplete official documents, which are really untrue, and whether your records are different from the facts. This is discipline and must be obeyed!"

Having said that, Jiang Min raised his voice.Said: "This is what I learned from Jieshuai. When officials make decisions, they must make the most reasonable choice based on these official documents. If the official documents are not credible, the officials must spend their minds on other things. You must understand The character of this official, the character of that official. Which official documents of this official are credible and which are not. Which official documents of that official are credible and which are not. It is difficult to make correct decisions in this way. Officials don't need to bother."

Speaking of this, Jiang Sensitively said: "When I was with Jieshuai, I always wondered why Jieshuai was so strict with himself. As the chief officer of the first army, Jieshuai didn't need to do this, as long as he ordered it strictly. Now Why is Mingyue the only one who is in charge of the government? If Jie Shuai is not strict with himself, how can others be strict with him? What is the use of strict orders like me who is in charge of the government? If it is not fair and just, this person has committed a crime. Wrong, because I have a good relationship with me, the punishment is lighter, or even not punished. The other person made the same mistake, and because I think he is not pleasing to the eye, the punishment is heavier. If you do this, the people below are not good Learn from the example? So business, business is the best. It is best for the entire army to be like this, everyone is used to it, that is the best!"

"Frankly speaking, although the commander-in-chief is strict, he has a kind heart. Even if it is a punishment, it will not be too strict or embarrassing. My ugly words are up front. With me, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and mistakes must be rewarded." Punishment! Whether you are embarrassing or not has nothing to do with me! Jie Shuai often said a word, as an official, you have to think clearly whether you belong to power or whether power belongs to you. I can clearly tell everyone here that we belong to power and everyone is A part of power. No matter what kind of official you are, no power belongs to you! Power only belongs to the position. You have done this position and exercised this power. If you do not exercise power well, you will be punished!"
