Chapter 1546 A Game of Chess in the Far East (8) [-]K Holiday Chapter!

The Mori family knew that their strength was puffiness and would break if touched, but the Shimadzu family was definitely not like that. The situation of their family was very different from that of the Mori family.

Gao Wushi smiled at Huang Zhiting and said, "Zhiting, do you know why I chose to use economic penetration to gradually control the Shimadzu family?"

Huang Zhiting frowned and said, "Because his family is particularly short of money?"

"The direct reason is indeed so." Gao Wushi chuckled, turned around with the teacup in his hand, and said, "However, the strength of his family is also inseparable from this point."

Huang Zhiting suddenly had a smile that was not a smile, raised her eyebrows lightly, and said, "Isn't the master alluding to the wolf soldiers of the Cen and Huang families?"

Gao Wushi waved his hand, and said, "Where did you think, I didn't mean that... However, if you insist on comparing this way, the Shimadzu family and the Cen Huang family are actually quite similar, but I said The similarity is mainly not because of lack of money, but because your governance conditions have certain similarities.”

"Oh?" Huang Zhiting's heart skipped a beat, she seemed to have some guesses, but she didn't speak.

Gao Wushi said: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs once reported that before Toyotomi Hideyoshi's conquest of Kyushu, the configuration of the various departments of the Shimadzu family probably looked like this:
From the elders Ijuin Tadato and Kawakami Tadashi who presided over government affairs, Kawayama Yoshihisa who presided over diplomacy, to the Higo general Shimadzu Yoshihiro who presided over all aspects of military affairs, the Higo deputy general Shimadzu Tokihisa, and the Bungo general general Shimadzu Iehisa, Bungo's lieutenant Shimadzu Ikyu, and Naval General Shimadzu Tadacho (Shimadzu Yoshihisa's younger brother, inheriting the Shimadzu branch of the Isaku Shimadzu family), all of these people came from the Shimadzu family. Branches or clans.

These people are all relatives of the Shimadzu family, and in the current Shimadzu family, basically only samurai from relatives can participate in decision-making, which can be called cronyism. "

Huang Zhiting frowned slightly, and said seriously: "I know cronyism is not a good word, but cronyism is actually far more stable than meritocracy at certain times."

"That's right." Gao Wushi nodded, and said, "This is where the strength of the Shimadzu family lies. Since the Kamakura era when the Three Kingdoms of Southern Kyushu, Satsuma, Osumi, and Hyuga were conferred, the Shimadzu family has grown rapidly. Extremely amazing.

When the second generation of Shimadzu Takashi, he separated the Nakanuma, Aso Valley, Yamada, Ijiin, Giri, Machida and other common branches;

When the three generations of Shimadzu have been through for a long time, the Isaku Shimadzu branch was separated;

During the fourth generation of Shimadzu Tadamune, the Sata, Xinna, Huashan, Beixiang, Ishizaka and other branches were separated;

The Shimadzu Sadahisa of the Five Dynasties separated the two branches of Kawakami, Soshu, and Oshu, and then the Shimadzu Oshu family inherited the status of the clan. From then on, the head of the Shimadzu clan was called Mutsu Mori for generations;
The eighth-generation patriarch Shimadzu Jiufeng, and separated into Sazhou and Toyoshu two branches;
Nine generations of Shimadzu Zhongguo separated the common branches such as Gui, Shishui, and Xirui, as well as the Xiangzhou Shimadzu family, and the third son Shimadzu Hisai inherited the extinct Isaku Shimadzu family. This is Shimadzu Takahisa great-grandfather. "

Huang Zhiting pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I'm quite familiar with this situation. Not to mention the Cen's family, but our Huang's family was in southern Guangxi at that time, and the situation was almost similar to this...so more children, more blessings. "

Gao Yushi said with emotion: "But apart from the amazing reproductive ability of the main family of the Shimadzu family, the various branches are not far behind. Especially the Yijiyuan family, when the fourth generation of Yijuin was loyal to the country, they gave birth to 48 children in one go, so The power increased greatly, and a large number of common branches such as Igakura, Hiki, Maishengtian, Daishige, Kurogehara, Dohashi, Feisong, Shibon, Rusa, Nango, Matsushita, and Maruta were separated.

Because he was so prolific, Shimadzu Shijiu, the sixth-generation governor of the Shimadzu family at that time, had to marry his daughter as the main wife in order to win him over, and then married his daughter to his grandson Yijiin Lai. For a long time, and then married several times.

Up to now, although the Ijuin family is the earliest branch of the Shimadzu family, it is more prominent than the nearby branches or even branches. Its patriarch, Ijuin Tadato, is currently serving as the elder of the Shimadzu family. "

Huang Zhiting nodded, apparently she was very familiar with this situation, but at the same time she couldn't help but have doubts, and asked: "But if this is the case, why did the Shimadzu family rule for hundreds of years and only broke out a few years ago?" Once, almost captured the entire Kyushu, and almost no one had a reputation before?"

"Good question. I was quite puzzled about this before, but I found out what happened after I sent someone to investigate." Gao Wushi said: "Actually, it is because the Shimadzu family has too many divisions and relatives are too many. Therefore, the Shimadzu family has been in constant civil strife for many years, fighting for the status of the main family. It was not until Shimadzu Takahisa succeeded to the throne that it was completely sorted out.

It can even be said that the reason why Takahisa Shimadzu was able to rise to the position was thanks to successive opportunities, and it took three consecutive generations of hard work to achieve his wish. "

Perhaps because the situation of Shimadzu's family was similar to that of Huang's chieftain, Huang Zhiting became very interested and quickly asked what was going on.

Gao Wushi was happy to explain her doubts, so he said: "Well, it's like this. The first generation is Shimadzu Takahisa's grandmother Tokiwa Hime. She is a beauty from the Shinna family. Her husband Shimadzu Yoshihisa died young. Afterwards, he took over the position of head of the Isaku Shimadzu family, and soon won the admiration of the Sangshu family Shimadzu Yunhisa. He married her on the condition of ensuring the status of her child Shimadzu Tadayoshi, and she married Shimadzu Yunjiu. After a long time, her child inherited the Yi writer and the Xiangzhou family who were closest to the Zong family at the same time.

The second generation is Takahisa Shimadzu's father Tadayoshi Shimadzu.At that time, the Shimadzu family was very weak, and the status of the family governor, Shimadzu Tadakan, was questionable. He was originally only the third son, and he adopted Yingwa's family early, but because the two brothers who served as the family governor died early, There was no heir left, so relying on the support of Shimadzu Mihisa (father of Shimadzu Yoshitora) of the Sazhou family, he returned to the clan to succeed the family governor, married Mihisa's younger sister, and changed his name to Shimadzu Katsuhisa.

However, within a few years of his succession, Katsuhisa had a conflict with Shijiu, so he had to give up the service position of Satsuma (Note: In Japan at that time, the official position was given by the imperial court, and the service position was given by the shogunate) to After waiting for a long time, he was almost forced to give up the position of family governor.

So Shimadzu Zhongliang took the opportunity to intervene, and gave his son Takahisa Shimadzu to Katsuhisa as his adoptive son and became the heir of the clan. The father of the head), he inherited the Sangshu Shimadzu family and the Isaku Shimadzu family respectively.

To the third generation, that is, Takahisa Shimadzu himself.He exiled Shimadzu Mihisa of Sashu family and Shimadzu Katsuhisa of the main family to Bungo country, and then blocked Shimadzu Mihisa's counterattack, forcing him to surrender to the main family and give up the position of head of the family to his son Yoshitora , Then he chose to go into seclusion, and arranged for Shimadzu Yoshitora to marry his eldest granddaughter Aping (Yoshihisa's eldest daughter) as his wife.

The Toyosu family was expelled from the Hyuga country by the Ito family. They could only go to Satsuma to attach themselves to Takahisa Shimadzu. After winning the Battle of Otogawa, they returned to the Hyuga country and obtained the Miyazaki county from the Shimadzu family. territory. "

"Wait a minute..." Huang Zhiting wondered, "Shimadzu Yoshitora is Shimadzu Takahisa's legitimate son. As a father, Takahisa asked his son to marry his eldest granddaughter? Did he marry his daughter or his niece?"

Gao Wushi shrugged his shoulders and said: "In Japan, it seems that as long as you are not a compatriot, there is no taboo. In fact, the relationship between the Shimadzu family - that is, marriage - is even more common."

Huang Zhiting put her hand on her forehead, speechless.

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "For the Shimadzu family, those relatives need to be recruited, and if you want to promote talents, relatives all over the three countries of Southern Kyushu can actually provide enough choices, even Marriage will basically not go beyond the scope of each branch and branch.

For example, the current head of the family, Shimadzu Yoshihisa, in order to strengthen the bond with Shimadzu Shangjiu, the uncle of Yi writer, he married Mrs. Hua Shun, the same mother and sister of Shangjiu, as the main wife-don’t stare at me, that’s really His own aunt. "

When Gao Wushi said this, it suddenly occurred to him that the combination of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv was nothing.

Although Huang Zhiting reluctantly admitted that different places have different customs, she still couldn't help frowning and said: "But this way of running a family is of course helpful to ensure the cohesion and loyalty of the family, but the ability of relatives is a problem. If you are not human, it is likely that you will succeed more than fail.”

"That's right, that's the truth." Gao Wushi nodded, but then smiled wryly: "However, what is amazing is that most of the relatives currently in charge of affairs in the Shimadzu's family are people with outstanding talents. It can be regarded as a talented person for a while, and these talented people from various branches and clans seem to have all appeared in this period, thus forging the current strength of the Shimadzu family."

Huang Zhiting was speechless for a while, and reluctantly said: "It may also be because of the unification and rise of the Shimadzu Clan that these relatives have a stage to perform, thus surpassing their respective ancestors... Who knows?"

Gao Wushi smiled, nodded and said, "Maybe, but after all, most of the Shimadzu family's current batch of people have good abilities. This is always a fact. I'm not interested in exploring the reasons. I just need to understand this objective reality. "

Huang Zhiting thought for a while and analyzed: "That is to say, it is really not easy to eliminate such a Shimadzu family with relatives everywhere in the territory. It is almost impossible to kill them all. Even if the Shimadzu family is eliminated, almost A family will emerge from the Oita family to inherit, and continue to be enemies in the name of revenge for the former clan.

For example, if you want to cruelly destroy all the major branches, but after that, there are still ten or twenty Shimadzu clans, and then there are also common clans in each branch... After all, according to what the master said, for any Shimadzu clan, The title of the clan means the protection of the three states, the name of the family that has lasted for hundreds of years, and the ability to lead relatives all over the three states. This is absolutely something to strive for, right? "

Gao Wushi nodded and admitted: "That's right, assuming that I want to be their enemy, then unless I maintain strong pressure on Southern Kyushu for decades, or treat a relative like Oda Nobunaga to the Takeda family Only by eradicating all of them, regardless of distance, can this situation be prevented.

However, I cannot guarantee the former situation. After all, it is impossible for me and Jinghua to focus on a mere Southern Kyushu.In the latter case, facing the Shimadzu family, which has many times more relatives than the Takeda family, it is estimated that even the resurrection of Oda Nobunaga may not be able to completely eradicate it.

Because of this, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who inherited his status and career, even though he defeated the Shimadzu family, still appointed Shimadzu Yoshihisa as the guardian of Satsuma, and Yoshihiro as the guardian of Osumi, which can be regarded as barely dividing the power of the Shimadzu family—— The actual effect is still unknown. "

In fact, Gao Pragmatism is not finished yet.During the Battle of Sekigahara, Yoshihiro Shimadzu participated in the Western Army, and after the defeat of the Western Army, in order to kill a bloody path, he directly attacked Ieyasu's main line, and he was only a few dozen steps away from killing him in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu himself. The situation was once very critical.

However, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who unified Japan after the war, still did not touch the Shimadzu family's Satsuma, Osumi, and Hyuga prefectures. Even the Tokugawa shogunate married the Shimadzu family three times and married the Shimadzu family's daughter twice. As the general's main family, the Shimadzu family became the only family among the samurai families that had been out of the Edo Imperial Palace except for the imperial family, the palace family and the Gosho family.

It can be seen from this that although the territory of the Shimadzu family seems small, no one dares to easily set foot in the Satsuma, Osumi, and Hyuga Three Kingdoms that his family occupies.Even the most powerful shogunate in Japanese history, the Tokugawa shogunate, can only maintain the relationship between the two sides by relying on financial suppression and marriage.

But at this moment, Huang Zhiting thought about it: "The clan is powerful, and it is inconvenient for the court to get involved easily. This is the same as when our Cen and Huang families were in western Guangxi and southern Guangxi. However, the clan alone cannot do this. , and there must be enough force to make the imperial court... well, the imperial court also finds it a little tricky."

Gao Wushi smiled and said, "Isn't it already obvious how powerful the Shimadzu family is? Yes, his family's military strength has always been relatively small. When almost conquering the entire Kyushu, his family's military strength was only about [-]. .

Later, in order to deal with Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Kyushu conquest of 30--a so-called 3-strong army, the Shimadzu family tried their best to gather an army of more than 4 people, less than [-] people, which is more powerful than your Cen and Huang families. It's really worse.

However, the soldiers of the Shimadzu family can be regarded as real elite soldiers in Japan, and even the performance of the farmers and soldiers of his family is not weaker than the professional soldiers of the Oda family after the separation of soldiers and farmers. "

"Really? How strong is it?" After all, there was only one afternoon, and Huang Zhiting didn't seem to have a deep understanding of this level, so she couldn't help but question it.

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Gao Wushi said, "How strong... well, let me give you a few examples. Several key battles fought by the Shimadzu family in the past few years, such as the battle of Kizakihara that defeated the Ito family, cost [-] yuan. Against three thousand; defeating Otomo's family in Erchuan Hezhan, it was twenty thousand against thirty-five thousand;

The Battle of Okitagan, which defeated the Ryuzoji family, was eight thousand versus tens of thousands (Note: Regarding the military strength of the Ryuzoji family in this battle, Japanese historians have disputes. It varies from ten thousand to ten thousand. If the average is forced, it will be at least thirty to forty thousand, and the Shimadzu family directly demanded Ryuzoji Takanobu himself in this battle. "Take" is a special Japanese term for fighting , similar to calling Jinjing "Shangluo" etc.);

The Battle of Tojigawa, which defeated the first battle of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations, was also [-] against [-].In all these battles, the Shimadzu family won big victories with inferior forces, and each time they won cleanly and without controversy. "

As soon as these few examples were shown, Huang Zhiting's interest immediately increased, and she even sat up straight, and asked with piercing eyes: "Why is this? It is also like the elite of our Cen Huanglang soldiers, because they grew up in the mountains. , Walking on rugged mountains is like walking on flat ground, many people often fight with wild beasts in the mountains when they are young, and the folk customs have always been fierce, are the natives not afraid of death?"

"Oh, that might be a little different." Gao Wushi thought for a while, and said, "Their family's strength is actually what I mentioned just now...the main reason is that their family is too fertile."

Huang Zhiting asked in surprise: "How is this related to Tai Neng's birth?"

Gao Wushi couldn't help but wryly smiled and said: "Because for hundreds of years, their branches and clans are also particularly able to give birth, and the males of these branches and clans are born as warriors and will not turn into ordinary farmers. As a result, the Shimadzu family has a particularly large number of samurai, far exceeding the proportion of other daimyos in Japan.

You have to know that the so-called samurai in Japan are not inferior to the scholars in Ming Dynasty in their spiritual conceit, but the direction of their conceit and efforts are not the same.Ming scholars aim to study and become officials, while Japanese samurai aim to display martial arts, so these samurai have a strong will to fight, which is far beyond the comparison of ordinary farmers and soldiers.

In this way, which military power—oh, the military power is the army—has a higher proportion of warriors, which basically means that it has stronger combat effectiveness.And the proportion of samurai in the general Japanese daimyo's army is generally around [-]%, which is not bad, but do you know how exaggerated the proportion of samurai is in the Shimadzu family's army? "

Huang Zhiting hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, "... twice as many people?"

"Twice? Ha, you guessed too conservatively. In fact, it is at least three times the number of people. In their family's several wars, the proportion of warriors was all higher than [-]%. Even in rare cases, such as some of the soldiers who defeated the army with elite soldiers During the battle, the highest proportion of warriors even exceeded [-]%!"

Gao Wushi sighed, and said: "It's like you lead 1000 people, including 500 guards and [-] family members; I lead [-] people, including [-] guards and [-] family members.

Then you said that if our command levels are similar, who has the advantage?What's more, the main leading generals of the Shimadzu family are all selected for a while, and the Shimadzu family's "fishing wild ambush" tactic is also unique in Japan. Wouldn't this advantage be even greater? "

Huang Zhiting nodded knowingly, but immediately asked, "What's the matter with 'Diao Ye Fu'?"

"Diaoyefu... In fact, it's not complicated if you put it simply. It's what we usually call a pocket formation." Gao Yushi explained: "It means first luring the enemy into the pocket formation encirclement, and then cooperating with the main force in the rear. , surrounded and annihilated the enemy in one fell swoop."

After hearing this, Huang Zhiting couldn't help curling her lips: "That's it? Aren't these all bad tactics, I thought there was something unique about it."

"That's not true." Gao Wushi saw that Huang Zhiting's words seemed to be exaggerated, and said with a little warning: "This tactic is really not difficult to just talk about it, and it is indeed seen in our Chinese war history, but In fact, it is quite particular and difficult to use this strategy with great proficiency.”

Huang Zhiting smiled and said: "It depends on what kind of soldiers you have. For example, if you ask me to command a thousand soldiers in the guards, then I can't play the tactic of fishing in the wild, and I don't dare to play it. But, If I have a thousand wolf soldiers from my own family, or soldiers like Dingnan Garrison, I can immediately deploy this tactic of fishing in the wild."

After she said this, Gao Wushi was sure that she really understood the key to the tactics of fishing in the wild and ambush.In fact, the most critical part of this tactic lies in the advantage of elite soldiers, especially the word "fishing".

For example, let's say that the Shimadzu family and the Otomo family's Erchuan are fighting together.The situation at that time was that the decoy troops of the Shimadzu family had only 300 people, and about 3000 people were ambushed on both wings, with the general Shimadzu Yoshihiro sitting behind.

At noon the next day, a decoy force of 300 people surprised a large friendly army that was being transferred, and then defeated hundreds of reinforcements.Seeing that the situation was not good, Tian Yuan's relatives from Otomo's family sent general Tianbei Zhenzhou to lead the counterattack. Shimadzu's decoy troops then retreated according to the tactical arrangement. Tianbei Zhenzhou chased and killed Shimadzu Yoshihiro.

Shimadzu Yoshihiro saw that the time was ripe, and immediately ordered some iron cannons (fire guns) of the "Yebu" on the two wings to fire at once, disrupting the formation of the friendly army first, and then the Shimadzu family took advantage of the many samurai, and all the samurai under his command threw their guns and drew their swords. Go up bravely.

Although the Great Friends Army had the upper hand, it was ambushed and couldn't withstand the sudden explosive charge of this elite army. It immediately became a mess, and was soon divided and surrounded and annihilated one by one. Tian Beizhen Zhou himself fought on the spot. die.

At this time, Shimadzu Iehisa and Yamada Yunobu, who were originally defending Takashiro, also broke out at the right time. Under the front and rear pincers, the Oyou Army's main formation collapsed instantly.

Although the Shimadzu family dispatched 2 people in this battle and defeated the Otomo family's 5000 people, it can be regarded as a battle where the difference in the number of their family and the opponent's army is not particularly large.

However, in fact, the most critical part of its operations is only more than 3000 people, that is, the Shimadzu Yoshihiro's department responsible for the implementation of the "Fishing Wild Fushi" tactic. The nature of the attack is more about expanding the results of the battle.

Speaking of it, Yoshihiro Shimadzu seems to have always been good at commanding and using small-scale elite soldiers. Whether he was fighting in Korea or in the Battle of Sekigahara, he actually had only 500 people under his command twice.However, just these two times, his performance was good enough, with 500 or even 5000 players playing an effect that is hard to match.

For example, in North Korea, the Sizhou battle commanded by Shimadzu Yoshihiro was a sudden defeat of the Ming army when the overall situation was clearly superior.As for the battle of Sekigahara, he deliberately attacked Tokugawa Ieyasu's main line in order to escape from the battlefield, and almost killed him in front of Ieyasu, which is enough to show that although the Shimadzu family's troops are small, their combat effectiveness is amazing.

However, when it comes to the Battle of Sizhou, I have to explain that there is a saying about later generations that the Ming army lost more than [-] in the Battle of Sizhou...I really don’t know which genius came up with it.

How many troops did the Ming army have in Japan at that time?Dong Yiyuan's troops, together with the North Korean servants under him at the time, totaled less than 3 people. If he really lost [-] in World War I, how much face would Dong Yiyuan have to keep his head?Not to mention Dong Yiyuan, even if Li Rusong was in office at the time, facing such a big defeat, that head might have to move.

In fact, according to the records of "Shenzong Veritable Records", although Dong Yiyuan suffered a wave of imperial censor impeachment and was dismissed for a period of time, the Ming court "gathered the general soldiers Magui and supervised the northern and southern officers and soldiers to defend the Japanese generals". And "Tong Yiyuan, the former general soldier, and the former official as the governor-general bid as counselor".

It means that Dong Yiyuan still continued to lead the army and command the battle, but he just cut off his official position as a sign of punishment, and he didn't even move his original official position (non-official position).Moreover, the imperial court actually took care of his face and did not let him directly accept the command of the new general Ma Gui, but assigned him to the governor in name—the governor is a civil servant and a great official in the frontier, and there is no shame in fighting under the governor's command. .

According to Daming's habit, this action meant that the court did not consider his failure to be a serious fault in essence, but because he had won first and then lost, and the loss was a bit embarrassing for the court, so he had to be fined. One penalty, but the court did not think that this failure had a serious impact on the entire war situation.

Therefore, although this failure seems a bit embarrassing, the loss of troops must not be many.Moreover, judging from the strength of Shimadzu Yoshihiro's troops at that time, it is unlikely that it would actually cause serious losses to the Ming army.

In fact, after the end of the first Battle of Pyongyang in July 1592, the Japanese soldiers of Konishi Xingchang's Legion complained to the Korean prisoners, saying: "Who can say that the army is weak? They are very capable of fighting! Although they lost today, but It's a matter of fate, and it's really hard for them to resist!" He spoke extremely highly of the defeated first batch of Ming troops who entered the court.

But what happened to the defeat of the first Ming army?It was because Hao Jie, the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, was begged by the North Korean envoy Li Dexin for several days at the door of his house. come.

At that time, Zu Chengxun was facing 18000 people from the First Army of Chief Konishi, and more than [-] people in Pyongyang City in front of him. The reason why he was defeated was because North Korea provided a seriously wrong information-the The intelligence swears that there are only "more than a thousand Japanese troops" in Pyongyang.

As a result, due to the heavy rain during the battle, the firearms of the Ming army were greatly affected, but what was even worse was that the 400 Korean servants collapsed at the first touch, which seriously affected the morale of the Ming army, and the remaining 100 Korean servants were actually friendly with the opposite Japanese army. talk up...

In the evaluation of the Koreans at the time, Konishi's army was considered to be the most capable unit in the Japanese army. However, although Konishi had won the battle on the surface at this time, he had already expressed his shock at the fighting power of the Ming army. .

So one month later, in August, the Japanese military leaders held a meeting in the capital of North Korea to discuss the next strategy. At the meeting, Governor Konishi made it clear that the Ming army was very powerful and could not compete with it.

And all the famous Japanese soldiers who participated in the meeting were also deeply afraid of it. The generals even proposed to run collectively and retreat to Pusanpo, the most coastal area of ​​the Korean peninsula. Wang Jing, the capital of China, went directly to the southernmost coastal border area.

It seems that if the navy is not under their control, they would even wish to withdraw directly to Japan.Of course, the proposal of the generals of the Japanese army was not approved in the end because it directly violated Hideyoshi's wishes.However, Governor Konishi still sent his younger brother back to Japan to report to Toyotomi Hideyoshi in person, telling him directly that it was impossible to succeed in invading the Ming Dynasty.

It was in the environment that the Japanese army was deeply afraid of the Ming army at that time that Yoshihiro Shimadzu's victory was set off extremely dazzlingly, and the names of "Onishi Manko" and "Onishimadzu" resounded so loudly.

At this time, Gao Wushi listened to Huang Zhiting's words, nodded and said: "Yes, it is not an easy task to lure the enemy army to follow the bait obediently into the ambush circle. As a bait soldier, you must be ready to be surrounded by the enemy's heavy troops at any time." As for the preparation for the sacrifice, the two teams of Beixiang Jiusheng and Honda Qinji, who were responsible for the task of baiting the enemy in the Battle of Erchuan, also fought bravely with the determination to die, and finally all died in battle.

On the other hand, as an ambush, it is necessary to accurately grasp the timing of sending troops and coordinate with other ambush troops. The closeness of the four Shimadzu brothers and the unity of the retainers make such coordination relatively easy.

It is precisely because these are quite difficult, so the Shimadzu family's "fishing wild volts" tactics are obviously used one after another. It stands to reason that no matter how stupid the opponent is, they should take precautions, but as their opponents, the other daimyo army However, they will always be defeated by the same tactic.

Therefore, in my opinion, it is not so much that the "Diaoyefu" tactic itself is extremely clever and impossible to defend against, but that the overall strength of the Shimadzu family's army has already clearly surpassed their opponents.

Even if the Shimadzu family didn't use any tactics, they might still be able to use the weak to attack the strong, but after using tactics, they could achieve greater results with fewer casualties. "

Huang Zhiting nodded, and thoughtfully said: "Well... this is a bit like the battle when I defeated the main force of the Burmese army in Mangyingli. Although I thought my command was pretty good at that time, but looking back, even if I At that time, I just put up a majestic formation to face them head-on, and I should have won, but my own losses may be greater."

It was inconvenient for Gao Yushi to follow her words, so he had to say: "Commander Qi has always believed that the combat effectiveness of the army cannot only rely on famous teachers and generals, but the overall combat effectiveness of the army itself must be improved so that no matter who commands the army, it can Guaranteed to be strong enough to fight.

It is precisely because I agree with his point of view that I asked him to help train the first batch of family guards, and then rely on these people as the core backbone to serve as the junior officers of the follow-up garrison in charge of training. The current major garrison forces have been eliminated, and the difference in combat effectiveness between the various garrison armies is not too great. "

As soon as Huang Zhiting heard him mention the garrison, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and said sternly: "When it comes to the garrison, I suddenly remembered an important matter, and I have to report it to the master solemnly."
