Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1680
It is a basic military principle that weapons and equipment should be matched with tactical exercises.According to this principle, the assault training of the cavalry of the Ming army after the second half of last year was all carried out according to the premise of half armor.

Therefore, as a last resort, Gao Pragmatism will not allow them to temporarily adjust their equipment, because that means changing the tactical system at the same time, which will very likely cause chaos before the battle, and I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses.

It is more likely to be adjusted now, and it should be said that only the tactics are involved.But the Chahar people seem to have no other thoughts at the moment, they just want to avoid fighting, so if they want to coax them into fighting, it seems that they have to come up with a bait worth their risk.

This bait is not easy to find, because there are not many truly valuable targets on the Mongolian grasslands.Perhaps Guihua City was originally one, but it is a pity that Guihua City is too important to Tumet, and it is difficult for high-level pragmatists to sit back and watch Guihua fall and remain indifferent. Convince Han Naji to calm the anger of the entire Tumed.

Even though Tumed is deeply under the influence of the Ming Dynasty, let alone the influence, even his own territory cannot be used as bait casually. This kind of practice will greatly disappoint the hearts of the people in any dynasty.

Tumed is practicing Buddhism now, and he pays attention to compassion and Dharma, not too forgetful.Even if Gao Yushi is the "Ming King", he can't use anger to deal with the Buddhist people, that thing is used to cast down demons.

Since it was impossible to sell teammates, he could only sacrifice himself and use himself as a bait.I just hope that I have enough face, and the hatred value in Tumen's heart is high enough. When I heard the news that I was alone, Tumen Khan would fight hard regardless of everything.

Is this method feasible?Gao Pragmatically thought about it, and felt that his own value to Chahar at this moment was roughly similar to facing Zhu Qizhen first in the past.

Although Zhu Qizhen is the emperor, he is just a minister of the household department, where the monarch and ministers are divided, and the political influence is not the same.

However, we should not underestimate ourselves. I, Gao, not only have a special political status, but also repeatedly deflated Chahar. He is also the main driving force behind the war. It is only natural that Tumen hate me to the bone.

What's more, I'm still the richest man in Ming Dynasty. If I can be caught, nothing else, the ransom alone may make his 40 people eat and drink well for several years.Such a good thing, don't Tumen not be moved?If I were Tumen, I would be tempted, okay!
Of course, there must be a premise for all of this, that is, Tumen can't think it's a trap, or even just make him feel that it's not safe enough.People suffer a lot, who knows if they will become particularly cautious and sensitive.

Therefore, if this "solitary army goes deep" to be real, there must be no other Ming army within Tumen's "psychological security range". Only in this way can there be a chance to lure the main force of Tumen to fight.

However, if you do it right, you can't really make it a lonely army. In the end, you can only fight with your back.It's just bait, you can't really sell yourself.Therefore, the problem in this is finally fixed on the two points of distance and speed.

There are two aspects to the distance. One is the safe range in Tumen’s mind. With him or the position of the high-practice headquarters as the center, there must be no other Ming troops within a certain radius, so that he may feel that he is sure of winning; The distance for the Ming army to support or even rescue in time, that is, the distance between the Ming army of the surrounding ministries and the surrounding ministries to rush to the battlefield when the high-practice headquarters and Tumen fought but the battle was not over.

If it's too close, most of the Tumen won't take the bait; if it's too far away, the high-practical headquarters may not be able to bear it.

If Gao Wushi was now leading nearly [-] elite infantrymen who had already been refitted with Wanli Type [-] bayonet muskets, then he was confident that he could handle it.It's a pity that the cavalry is an expert in the game and an amateur in actual combat. Moreover, the cavalry is particularly dependent on the ability of front-line generals to make decisions at the moment. He doesn't know what level the guerrillas under his command are in actual combat, so he is not very confident.

For a moment, an idea even popped into his mind: If I take Li Rusong and his Liaodong iron cavalry under my command at this moment, can I just go straight up with a wave of my hand? MD, in the future, we still need to work more on the cavalry, and we can't always be so half-baked.

But it was obviously too late to regret at this time. Gao Wushi ordered people to fetch the scale map drawn by Jinghua, and began to ask the guerrillas about the speed of the cavalry's attack in various situations, while calculating and determining a suitable battlefield position.

After the final decision was made, he immediately ordered the latest military orders to be conveyed to the various ministries that were encircling the naturalization. After finishing all this, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone in the army except the sentry posts and sentry detectives had already gone to bed.

Gao Yushi ordered the meeting to be dismissed, but he did not actually let them go. He brought a large number of guerrilla generals to inspect the camps in person, and inspected all eight guerrilla camps—of course, it is impossible to go through every detail are viewed.

The commanders who do this kind of thing, especially the civil servants, are more out of the consideration of the morale and discipline of the army, and it is by no means to strictly check the military details-that stuff is so pragmatic that these generals don't know as much as these generals, and they can find out What kind of hall?
However, high pragmatism also has good projects, such as checking the sanitary environment.Don't laugh, the sanitation environment is definitely a major issue in the military. If this matter is not done well, an epidemic will break out in the military if you are not careful, and you will either lose the battle or lose without a fight.

Especially the cavalry unit, the sanitation problem is notoriously difficult to deal with.After all, people can be controlled by orders. As long as the punishment measures are in place, at least defecating indiscriminately can be prohibited.However, you can't stop horses from urinating and defecating, so this needs to be artificially regulated, such as temporary stables, stable layout, cleaning, etc., all must be strictly required.

What's more, horse dung is still a treasure. For example, Gao Wushi found that they were using the dried horse dung to make a fire to boil water in the rather expensive camp. It is clean, and it can save a lot of briquettes to carry.

In contrast, some Han generals are not as good as this Mongolian general in this matter. Although everyone has dug and buried horse manure because of high-practical repeated orders, it is not as good as recycling. Well done.Gao Yushi always wonders if the military expenditure has been generous recently, and the military has become a little extravagant.

Therefore, after the inspection was completed, Gao Wushi firstly praised everyone as a whole, thinking that everyone's health and epidemic prevention work is still doing a good job, but he also praised Qugui in particular, and suggested that all guerrillas send special personnel to Qugui's camp Learn about the best disposal of horse manure.

I don't know whether it's Gao Pragmatic's prestige that is really high enough, or everyone thinks that the Mongols really have a few brushes in matters related to horses. Everyone seems to have no resistance to this order, and they all accept it calmly.

At this point, Gao Wushi finally announced the adjournment of the meeting. At the same time, he appointed two generals on duty in the first half of the night and the second half of the night, and passed down the password for tonight: "Chang Geng" in the first half of the night, and "Qi Ming" in the second half of the night.

The night passed without incident.In the early morning of the next day, all the cavalry of the Economic Strategy Headquarters pulled out their camps, and strangely narrowed the range covered by the scouting horses, cutting them in half from two hundred miles to one hundred miles.

At the same time, Gao Wushi thought to himself that after several days, his body began to get used to the high-intensity horseback riding, and the whole army speeded up to a hundred miles a day.Speaking of it, Gao Yushi has always had a certain amount of exercise. Although he may not be able to compare with the generals under his command, at least in terms of physical fitness, he is by no means a "weak scholar".It's true that he hasn't practiced any martial arts, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a good physical foundation.

To the west, which was less than [-] miles away, Brihatu and Buyantaiji had already led troops out at this moment.The strength of the two of them is actually not as large as that of Gao Yushi, only about [-], which is only slightly more than half of Gao Yushi's troops.

However, Buyantaiji was very excited by the news he received yesterday. Early this morning, he successively found the sentry sent out last night to understand the changes in the military situation at night, and then hurriedly found Brihatu to discuss countermeasures.

Buyan Taiji said excitedly: "Gao Rixin narrowed the distance of the horse detection last night. It seems that he is afraid of the result of yesterday's horse detection battle, and he dare not let Ye Bushou suffer more serious losses."

"Is that so?" Brihatu replied vaguely.

"Of course." Bu Yantaiji immediately said: "The Ming army does not accept people at night, which is very small, much less than our Baitao personal guards. If it is like this every time, when he arrives at the city of Guihua, he will How many nights do you have left in your hand?"

Brihatu let out an "oh" and asked, "Is there anything new in today's news?"

"That's not yet—oh, how could it be so fast, we are still nearly two hundred miles away." Buyantaiji waved his hands repeatedly.

Brihatu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Two hundred miles, if the two sides meet each other, we can even meet tonight."

"If you want to say that, that's true. But there is only one latest news: they left the camp quite early today, they finished their breakfast before dawn, and then set off immediately." Buyantaiji said for a while. After a pause, he added: "Well...Tanma judged based on some details, indicating that the army may be a little faster than usual today, and it seems to be in a hurry."

Brihatu thought for a while, and asked, "Huang Taiji, if you were Gao Rixin, what situation is worth your constant speeding up?"

"Ah?" Buyantaiji didn't expect him to ask himself this way, and after thinking about it, he said, "Then there are only two possibilities. One is that the situation in Guihua City has deteriorated sharply. The naturalization is about to be lost; the second is that there is a good opportunity ahead, and I may be able to win a big victory if I rush over there!"

Brihatu was noncommittal, but nodded slightly, and asked again: "What do you think is the most likely situation for Gao Rixin to continue marching at a faster speed today?"

"Well... let me think about it." Buyantaiji thought for a while while riding his horse, and then said: "It's hard to answer the question of being in power. I think there are two possibilities."

"Really, why do you know that?" Brihatu asked back.

Buyantaiji smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? The first possibility has always existed, but Gao Rixin should not be able to get the specific situation of Guihua City now, but the more he can't get the news, usually It is human nature to become more nervous, and Gao Rixin is no exception.

The second possibility is that yesterday's battle must have caused Gao Rixin to have a certain illusion. He may think that the man in front of him is the Great Khan himself, and he must also think that it is impossible for the Great Khan to withdraw his troops from the city of Guihua, so Although the Great Khan came in front of him, he would definitely not bring all his troops with him. "

When he said this, he sighed and shook his head again, as if he wanted to drive away some thoughts, and then continued: "Gao Rixin has never been defeated against Mongolia in the past, and this may have increased his self-esteem.

Perhaps he thought that the strength of his troops was enough to defeat some of the Great Khan's forces face to face, so he boldly advanced forward with confidence, hoping to win this feat and add a new luster to his record of military exploits. "

Brihatu asked, "Then why speed up?"

"I think it's because... he was afraid of 'Khan' avoiding the battle?"

Brihatu didn't answer immediately this time, and he didn't even ask again. Instead, he thought about it carefully and said, "I also think Huang Taiji's speculation is very reasonable."

Buyantaiji was overjoyed and almost laughed out loud.Unexpectedly, Brihatu still had a serious face, and then said, "But I always feel that there are still some inexplicable things in it. I hope Huang Taiji will be on guard."

Buyantaiji's laughter was stuck in his throat and finally turned into a hard dry cough.He thought for a while, then frowned and asked, "What's hard to understand?"

"Gao Rixin must understand the truth that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, and he has always done so in the past." Burihatu also frowned, and said in deliberation: "Besides, based on my research on Gao Rixin From the looks of it, although this man is very successful, it is a great achievement in the big picture, in fact, he has always been very measured in his work, and he doesn't seem to care about specific military achievements—especially Huang Taiji, please pay attention to this point."

"Why are these words so contradictory?" Buyantaiji asked impatiently: "It's a great achievement, and it doesn't care about the specific military achievements. Is this Gao Rixin mentally ill?"

"On the contrary, this is exactly where Gao Rixin is brilliant." Brihatu said solemnly with a straight face, "What a great success means that he always likes to make arrangements, lay out the overall situation, and plan the country's situation.

He doesn't care about specific military achievements because he is a civil servant rather than a general.The victory or defeat of a certain battle is not important to him at all. As long as the final strategy is successfully implemented, then all the military exploits, big and small, must be his share—and it must be the heaviest share. "

"What do you mean by being in power..." Buyantaiji felt that there was something in Buri Hatu's words, but he hadn't learned to trust and rely on Buri Hatu like his father Tumen Khan, so he could only make Buri Hatu like this Hatu took the initiative to explain.

"What I mean is that if Gao Rixin takes any actions different from the previous ones, the starting point must be at the strategic level, not at the specific combat level."

Brihatu narrowed his eyes slightly: "His narrowing the scope of investigation and speeding up his march, although I still can't see what his ultimate intention is, but I can be sure of one thing: his so-called urgency is just his hope. We thought he was in a hurry."
