Lu Ming

Chapter 670 Sharing the great cause (seven)

A scroll-like long-axis map of mountains and rivers was laid flat on the elm altar table in the Bodhisattva Hall.

From left to right, from the Western Regions to the East China Sea, the long-axis pattern of the fairy wind bone shows the topography and landforms of the traditional Chinese Kyushu in detail.

Although the ink style used by the ancients is still used, the most critical accuracy of the map, and even the location ratio of rivers, roads and cities, are all copied from Google.

In the seventeenth century, this was unmistakably Zentraedi technology.

Finally, when the scroll slowly unfolded to the end, the five vertical ancient seal characters of "Jiangshan Sheji Tu" were revealed.

The whole picture scroll has a lofty conception, an antique flavor, and a flowing air, which has a sense of evil charm of Xiao Heyue getting off his bicycle.

Of course, in front of such an astonishing "ancient map", the inconspicuous "QZJS16330302W" printed code in the corner of the back of the scroll must have been made by the Technical Section of the General Intelligence Bureau on March 1633, 3, allowing external use.

The circle of people around the long table is naturally the rebel faction headed by Li Zicheng.While sighing, they stretched out their calloused hands and gestured on the map, looking for the city they were familiar with.

"This picture is an important treasure of my teacher's school. It was made by the disciples of the school who collected gas from Kyushu for thousands of years. It is dedicated to the Lord today."

Daoist Zhou, who had a well-thought-out plan, presented the map at the same time, he also took out the "Measurement Ruler" which uses the traditional measurement unit, and then taught his generation how to use it.

"It's really precise, exactly!"

Before he could, Tian Jianxiu, who had just learned how to use the scale, found Shaanxi, which he was most familiar with, on the map, and then measured the road from Mizhi to Yulin.In the end, he excitedly stated to everyone present: "With this picture, you can go anywhere in the world!"

No one doubts this statement.

Things like maps have been strategic materials controlled by the government since ancient times, and ordinary people have no access to this level of information.But for Li Zicheng, who is ambitious in the world, there is no more precious gift than this.

"I really got a lot of help from the Iron Umbrella Immortal Sect this time."

When Li Zicheng saw this situation, when his heart was swaying, he stroked the map with one hand, and made a heavy promise in his mouth: "If the real person in charge of teaching has the same eyesight, we will really be able to take the day when the Zhu family's foundation is enthroned, and we will make our own decision." I want to pay homage to the real person in charge of the teaching as the national teacher, and Mr. Feng Zhou will lead the sects of the world!"

"Hahaha, since that's the case, my lord is more than willing to offer advice."

At this moment, Daoist Zhou, who seemed satisfied, finally began to preach the prepared strategic plan.

-----------------

Regarding the future strategy of Li Zicheng's Ministry, there is no doubt that it must be implemented in "coordination" with the General Intelligence Bureau's overall strategy for the Ming Dynasty.

The so-called overall strategy against the Ming Dynasty now needs to be implemented in the content of Li Zicheng's department. In fact, it can be clearly stated in one sentence: accumulate strength as soon as possible, and strive to eliminate the main field forces of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains as soon as possible.

In real history, Li Zicheng started the "Southern Expedition and Northern War" this year, and inherited the title of "Chuangwang" next year until the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

During this period, Li Zicheng's troops had been fleeing and fighting in various places, and were beaten and scattered by officers and soldiers many times. However, relying on the endless refugees in the late Ming Dynasty, Li Xiaoqiang was able to make a quick comeback every time, full of blood.

This situation continued until the 14th year of Chongzhen six years later.

At that time, the fighting power between the Ming army and Li Zicheng's troops finally underwent a fundamental change—the quality of the Ming army dropped to a critical point due to the repeated entry of the Qing Dynasty and the financial collapse caused by natural disasters.After years of survival of the fittest, the peasant army has accumulated enough combat experience and supplies.

Quantitative change produces qualitative change.

In the end, six years later, Li Zicheng successively wiped out the field corps within the Ming Dynasty through five Central Plains wars in the Henan area, thus gaining the opportunity to go north to Beijing to win the throne.

In two years, the Ming Dynasty perished.

The purpose of the General Intelligence Bureau sending Zhou Yi into the camp this time is precisely to save Li Zicheng time: at least to save most of Li Zicheng's six years of wandering in the future.

The reason for fleeing is because of insufficient strength.Although the main force of the Ming army is slowly reducing its quality, it is still not something that the rogues can defeat head-on.

Therefore, Zhou Yi's first and most important strategy is to improve his strength: Tibetan soldiers.

The so-called "Tibetan soldiers" are actually a combination of a series of military and political projects.In the language of later generations, it is base + training + accumulation of military supplies.

In this strategy, Li Zicheng's department will establish a base from now on, secretly train and hoard a heavy cavalry regiment of no less than 3000 people.

Strength is everything.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng's troops, who had [-] elite heavy cavalry, were completely reborn. In future decisive battles, they could accomplish their feats in one battle, directly destroy the main force of the Ming army, and shock the world.

Zhou Yi's strategy of hiding soldiers, to be honest, really went beyond the habitual thinking of Li Zicheng and others. Everyone is a rogue with full proficiency. No one has imagined the situation that Zhou Yi said.

One mouthful is three thousand heavy cavalry. If you think about it, you will know that you need a lot of resources to support it.The rogues never had enough to eat, so they never had that thought.

In addition, the so-called Tibetan soldiers actually included an important strategic change: Li Zicheng's troops would change from rogue bandits to de facto sitting bandits.

This point, everyone in the sitting heard it, and they were all confused: how can it be so easy to be a bandit.Hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers are now besieging the peasant army. Who would dare to sit in an isolated city and wait for death?

So shortly after Zhou Yi's voice fell, someone immediately raised a question: "I don't know where the soldier is going to hide, sir?"

"Hehe, good question!"

Zhou Yi, who had already deduced today's scene, knew that this question reached a key point: where is the base area established.

The next moment, Zhou Yi punched heavily on the map where they are now camping: the Funiu Mountains.

"Just like this Funiu Mountain, there are three thousand elite soldiers hidden. Once it is completed, the Lord will be invincible once he comes out of the mountain, and he will sweep the world in an instant."

"Funiu Mountain stretches for eight hundred miles, and there are many places where it is easy to defend Tibetan soldiers."

Zhou Yi knew that the key to this strategy was the logistical issue: "My lord knows that the Iron Umbrella Sect has been accumulated in Jingxiang for many years, and we have prepared a lot. Now we only need to open up the grain road from Wuchang to Nanyang, which is needed for military training. Three thousand collar armor, with 30 catties of military rations, can be transported here within half a year."

Hearing Zhou Yi boast so much, Li Zicheng was already mentally prepared, but he was still moved: "Sir, are you serious?"

"There is absolutely no lie. It is the iron armor hidden in the grain bag. Three thousand collars are not much more."

The "iron armor" mentioned by Zhou Yi was the second type of armor transported in grain trucks at that time.This kind of armor is simple in style, and it is an imitation armor ordered in batches by the General Intelligence Bureau in the factory. Its internal quality is high, and its appearance is the same as the standard armor equipped by the cavalry of the Ming Army.

As for the mountain pattern armor before, it was used for a few high-ranking generals, and it was impossible to equip it in large quantities.

That's what everyone said, if Li Zicheng and his group were to look forward and backward again, they would no longer be revolutionaries with their heads pinned to their trouser waists.

What's more, for a group of rogues, it is naturally a good thing to have a lair where they can attack, retreat and defend.Before, it was just that happiness came too suddenly, and I didn't react for a while.

So Mr. Zhou's strategy of hiding troops was initially approved.

Seeing the complex expressions of distrust mixed with anxiety among the people present, Zhou Yi understood.He knows the thoughts of these rogues. It's nothing more than taking advantage of the advantages first, and taking every step counts.Let's talk about it one day when your bragging cowhide is broken and the food, fodder and armor are no longer available.

If it was replaced by Zhou Yi who went out to flee famine a few years ago, he probably had the same idea.

However, Zhou Yi is now an imperial elite who has visited the Panyu Non-standard Parts Factory. The incomparably powerful gas press, like rice flour, can easily press pieces of fine iron plates into smooth and sturdy helmets, arm armor, Leg armor, breastplate.
In the end, these parts were thrown aside by the workers in the pile of finished products piled up like a hill. The whole process did not take more than 1 minute
With a high-end and superior mood of "that's what the local turtle has seen", Daoist Zhou slowly said the next plan with a sincere smile in his eyes.

Compared with the most critical Tibetan military strategy, the second strategy, which Zhou Yi called "fighting for fame", was actually born to cooperate with the first strategy.

If you want to raise elite soldiers, you need food, grass and armor, the most important thing is people.

The people mentioned here cannot be refugees, preferably those with cavalry experience.

Li Zicheng has an inherent advantage in this regard.Most of the hundreds of core members of his family are Shaanxi post soldiers and deserters from the frontier army.

Historically, when Li Zicheng and the Ming army launched a large corps battle in the Central Plains, most of the core "old battalion" soldiers under him were Gan-Shan frontier soldiers.

So Zhou Yi's opinion is very simple: for the construction of the base area, it is enough to leave a mature and prudent person like Tian Jianxiu to preside over it.As for Comrade Chuang Wang, it is still necessary to lead the team out when appropriate, and follow Gao Yingxiang to play a dozen support in the early stage. The most important thing is to participate in the precise retreat without going out of Henan. The main thing is to gain reputation.

In this way, after Gao Yingxiang is killed in Ziwu Valley next year, Brother Zicheng can take over the 2.0 version of the title of Chuangwang, recruit troops and buy horses, and take shape overnight.

Here, Zhou Yi asked Li Zicheng to strive for fame among the world as much as possible, but he did not reveal the most secret he had: the time of Gao Yingxiang's death.

Zhou Yi firmly believed in the time of Gao Yingxiang's death told him by the General Administration.

He himself was a sniper.He knew very well that under the current war mode, if the General Administration wanted a person to die, that person would definitely go to see Hades at the specified time and place.

Therefore, Gao Yingxiang must die next year to leave room for Li Zicheng to rise to the top. This is Zhou Yi's understanding of the top-secret plan of the General Administration.

Of course, for the instigator of this secret, some people who have historical data on Baidu, Gao Yingxiang will be captured and killed by Sun Chuanting next year.

When Zhou Yi announced the entire strategic plan, Li Zicheng nodded slowly in agreement.So far, the magnificent tide of peasant uprisings in the late Ming Dynasty has flowed into another tributary of time under the stirring of a certain black hand.

And the story of Nan Wang and Zhou Yi has also temporarily come to an end.Next, let us turn our attention to the more distant north and take a look at the stories that happened there.
