please make me king

Chapter 188

Although Zhang Shun lived in the camp of the Rebel Army and had no external threats for the time being, he did not take time off either.

Since he forged the brass cannon, he was very satisfied with its power, so he couldn't help stepping up his search for bronze utensils, trying to make another brass cannon in the same way.It's just that there is a lack of materials, and only about [-] catties were collected, which could not meet the requirements for making another cannon, so Zhang Shun had to give up.

However, this time, because everyone saw the tragic situation in Lu'an Mansion, they got closer to Chen Changbing and Zhang Shenyan, which was a pleasant surprise.

Zhang Shun had nothing to do for the time being, so he pulled out all his men and horses to re-arrange.Each hundred has a waist drum and a gong, which is convenient for small formations to attack, defend and coordinate operations.Then, the team will be pulled to the open space outside the camp to conduct subjects such as changing the combat formation during the march, changing the defensive formation during the march, as well as the transformation of the formation and the rotation of the squad.

There are many kinds, almost similar to the military training of college students in later generations.It's just that the education level of ordinary soldiers in this era is low, and many people even don't distinguish between left and right, so the training is simply messy.Zhang Shun struggled for ten days before he could barely control the formation changes and combat rotation subjects of the nearly two thousand troops under his command.

Zhang Shun felt that his subordinates were a group of mobs, but this method surprised the rest of the rebel army, and even "Zijin Liang" praised it specifically: "'Optimus Prime' is really a god of soldiers. He defeated Song Tongyin and defeated Shanxi. Governor, I still think it is due to luck. Now seeing the formation of his men and horses changing, as if they are at their disposal, it is really an eye-opener."

When Zhang Shun knew it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. This level is not even as good as his future college students' military training. What can we praise?
In fact, it was Zhang Shun who had high standards for the ancient soldiers.Due to the problems of ancient culture, material level and training, only the teams that have been fighting for many years can carry out a certain degree of front change and cooperation.In more cases, when fighting, they swarmed up and rushed forward; when retreating, they scattered and fled for their lives.

Even the "queue to shoot" technique boasted by later generations cannot break away from this level.The reason why everyone does not adopt skirmish tactics is not that skirmish tactics are not good, but that once soldiers are out of the officer's sight, they will either lie in that corner and paddle, or simply flee in all directions.In order to restrain the soldiers under them, the officers had to gather them together and shoot at the opposite fool like a fool.

Therefore, from Zhang Shun's point of view, a team that can turn a third of the wrong way in a different direction is not considered qualified at all. In the eyes of others, it is already considered an elite team.Because no matter how high your personal martial arts are, on the battlefield, if the opponent fights in formation, it will be difficult for you to please him.In particular, the larger the scale of the war, the less valuable individual force is.

Zhang Shun's four new apprentices were all eye-opening after seeing Zhang Shun's methods.They followed Huang Hu and only knew how to rush and kill. Even if they formed an formation, they put on a show, and then ran over. Where have they seen this kind of tactics?
It turned out that Zhang Shun knew very well that he was not proficient in the art of war, since he had recruited a few apprentices, and it was not good, he translated a few articles on the art of war by Sun Tzu, and just fooled around.So, take advantage of this big training opportunity to let them get in touch with practice.

As a result, Zhang Shun felt ashamed and said nothing.The four of them couldn't help being amazed, and murmured to themselves: "Our master doesn't look young, but he is a man of real ability. Two thousand troops look like one person, and the world's famous generals are nothing more than this, right? Looking at his stern face, he must be He is ruthless in military law, and he is really a first-class hero!"

Let's say that Zhang Shun practiced the formation for ten days, and then received a personal visit from "Zijin Liang".After some courtesy, the two sat down one by one.The "Zijinliang" said to Zhang Shun: "Brother 'Optimus Prime', the deadline for Zhang Daojun to promise us Zhao'an is approaching. According to my estimation, the land of Zelu is only more than [-] miles away from the capital. Traveling [-] miles day and night, but back and forth every ten days. It has been more than half a month now, and there should be news back."

"Recently, I feel uneasy. I have many nightmares at night, and I am not reconciled to the failure of this matter. I want to go to Dou Zhuang to ask Zhang Daojun face-to-face. I see that you are a strong soldier and well-trained, brother. Can you go through this with me, just in case something happens? one!"

Although Zhang Shun was unhappy with what "Zijin Liang" did, but now he had to cooperate with him under his roof, so he nodded in agreement.

On the second day, Zhang Shun reorganized the team and set off together with Xing Honglang and "Zijin Liang". In order to prevent his logistics from being seized by others, Zhang Shun took the coppersmith and the luggage with him and headed for Zezhou.

There were not many officers and soldiers in Zelu's two places, and the two troops marched quickly, and soon they crossed the mountains and arrived at Douzhuang, Yangcheng.

Zhang Daojun was already in the city and had been waiting for a long time.Zhang Shun and Xing Honglang followed "Zijin Liang" to clap their horses forward and asked about Zhao'an.

As a result, Zhang Daojun not only refused, but threatened: "Long live has made an order to mobilize the frontier troops from Qindi, Xuanda, and Liaodong to encircle and suppress. If you know the destiny, you will be arrested as soon as possible. If not, I'm afraid you will all die." There is no place to die!"

"Zijin Liang" couldn't help being furious when he heard the words, and a fire of ignorance surged up from his chest. What "Zijinliang" said about Zhao'an and Zhang Daojun's saying that they were captured without a fight seems to be the same thing at first glance, but it is not.

The Zhao'an mentioned by "Zijin Liang" is conditional. After the imperial court rewards the officials, the big guys will work for the imperial court.And what Zhang Daojun said about being caught without a fight means that not only can everyone not resist, but they are also slaughtered.Is it tolerable, which is unbearable?
As the saying goes, "clay figurines still have three points of anger", let alone the big bandit "Zijinliang"?He said angrily: "Zhuzi! How dare you insult me ​​like this? The imperial court is fighting or making peace, but it's just a word, how can we embarrass the grassroots like us?"

"It's unbearable to tease us now three times, five times and three times! You must know that everyone has three feet of anger!"

Zhang Daojun knew he was in the wrong, and was questioned by "Zijin Liang". He felt three points guilty, so he could only explain: "I know Your Excellency's loyalty, but there is nothing I can do for the time being because of the treacherous ministers in the court who deceived His Majesty! If Your Excellency can be lenient." Allow some time, maybe the Sacred Heart has changed, it is unknown!"

"No need!" "Zijin Liang" took a deep breath, and cursed: "If you want to fight, then you want to fight. We are the ones who deserve to die. We are buried in the wilderness, the life of weeds. Now we are waiting to die." And dead ears, I just don't know whether the princes of the court can sleep peacefully in the future!"

After speaking, "Zijin Liang" left in anger.After leaving Douzhuang, he discussed with Zhang Shun and Xing Honglang to attack the nearby city, vowing to make the court look good.

　The entanglement of interests in the late Ming Dynasty has reached this point. Although it looks strong, it is actually terminally ill.When the author checked the historical materials, he was surprised to find that a rogue like Zijinliang had been forced to rebel by the government after several times of begging to surrender but failed.Why?Something is wrong with society.Yang He's appeasement was very successful at the beginning, but the rogues he recruited could not be resettled, and had sharp conflicts with the local gentry, and they rebelled one after another.

　　Because these rogue bandits have used extreme methods that have greatly damaged the interests of the local gentry, and the imperial court has no financial arrangements, so they can't let these recruited peasants kill them at will, right?And these so-called "rogue bandits" fled to Shanxi, and their greatest hope was to be appeased by the court and live a good life.

　　However, the example of Yang He is the first, and most bureaucrats dare not set this precedent.As a result, the "banditry" became more and more serious, and the imperial court had to mobilize frontier troops to exterminate them.However, the military issue could not solve the problem of organizational failure, and more and more bandits were suppressed, and the rebellion came back again.Why?There are more and more people who can't survive
