Ming politicians

"Dazhi, take my token and go to the backyard to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He said that General Qin, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, has come to visit, and invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come out to meet him."

Hearing what Su Tiancheng said, Qin Liangyu quickly stood up.

"My lord, the last general doesn't dare to disturb His Royal Highness's thoughts, the last general can't afford it."

"General Qin is worrying too much. His Royal Highness, the Prime Minister, is concerned about the extermination of bandits. Such a big matter, how could it be possible without the support and assistance of General Qin. His Royal Highness must come out to see the general."

When Zhu Cixuan came out, Qin Liangyu quickly knelt down on one knee. [

She doesn't need to kneel down to Su Tiancheng, but in front of the crown prince, etiquette must be in place, besides, not everyone in Sichuan's civil and military officials can see His Highness the crown prince.

"The last general Zhendong, Qin Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, pays his respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"General Qin, get up quickly. I already know your reputation. My father once wrote a poem for you and taught me to remember General Qin's bravery."

"The final general swears allegiance to the death and devotes himself to everything."

Su Tiancheng looked at the young and mature Zhu Cifeng, and squinted his eyes slightly. Zhu Cifeng's words were so good that Qin Liangyu became more loyal without expressing anything.It can be seen that Zhu Cifeng has learned the so-called emperor's mind.

"His Royal Highness, I want to discuss with General Qin about the extermination of bandits. I don't know His Royal Highness..."

"Lord Su, I'll listen to it too. I'm not familiar with warfare, so just listen to it. It's considered learning."

Before Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Zhu Cifeng spoke.This time, Su Tiancheng couldn't say anything more.

He was planning to discuss the plan with Qin Liangyu in detail.When we arrived in Sichuan, we were about to fight. There was nothing to hesitate about, but a comprehensive battle plan had to be worked out. This battle plan was especially crucial, if it was in the process of being formulated.If you are not familiar with the terrain of Sichuan and plan your time completely according to your previous experience, you may make major mistakes.

The less people know about the overall battle plan, the better. If it is accidentally leaked out, the consequences will be disastrous.

There were quite a few people in the room, when Zhu Cifeng came over.Many people followed, some of whom were dedicated to serving the prince in daily life.

"That's fine, His Royal Highness, I see, all important personnel should withdraw. His Royal Highness needs to discuss military affairs."

"Okay, everything will follow Master Su's arrangement."

Soon, only Zhu Cixuan, Su Tiancheng, Hong Chengchou, Qin Sande, Sun Chuanting, Qu Qingze, Xiong Zijian, Liu Tiehan, Qin Liangyu and others were left in the room.

After exchanging opinions with Zhu Cifu in a low voice, Su Tiancheng spoke seriously.

"General Qin, I am the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces. The main task is to wipe out the bandits, so I won't say much. Now that I have come to Sichuan, I have to start action. General Qin has been in Sichuan for a long time and is familiar with the terrain here. The white pole army and the bandits I have fought many times, and I know the situation of the rogues, so I would like to ask General Qin to introduce the situation in detail, the so-called knowing yourself and knowing the enemy is invincible, I consider it, the Jiangning Battalion entered Sichuan to wipe out the rogues, and I still need the general's strong support."

"At the end of the day."

Qin Liangyu was not polite. On the contrary, she felt that Su Tiancheng had a straightforward personality and did not have so many etiquettes. Such a personality was very beneficial for commanding a large army to fight. On the contrary, the former governor Lu Shanji had more A lot of rules.

Qin Liangyu began to introduce the basic terrain of Kuizhou Mansion, Baoning Mansion, Longan Mansion, Tongchuan Prefecture and Chongqing Mansion. During this process, Liu Tiehan began to draw pictures and mark out the place names of key places according to the situation Qin Liangyu told. Of course, In these places, the scouts still have to investigate, and finally draw an accurate map and make a sand table. [

Qin Liangyu talked for an entire hour.

Su Tiancheng's expression became more and more serious, even Zhu Cifeng did not say a word, listening to Qin Liangyu's introduction.

The complexity of Sichuan's terrain has exceeded Su Tiancheng's expectations. It can be said that this is the most difficult terrain that Jiangning Camp has encountered. Not only are there large mountains and few people, but the roads are rugged. In some places, only relying on plank roads to pass through. As long as you send people to guard the entrance of the plank road, no matter how many troops you have, it will be difficult to pass through.

Moreover, there are many rivers in Sichuan, and the tree coverage rate is very high. Many places are basically virgin forests, and there is no way for an army to pass through without a guide familiar with the terrain.

Combat in such a place mainly depends on the bravery of the soldiers, and many tactics are difficult to exert a great effect in such terrain.

"General Qin, I heard the introduction, is the terrain of Sichuan really so complicated?"

"His Royal Highness, what the last general said is the actual situation. However, it is impossible for large armies to fight in these places. It's just that such terrain makes it easier for the rogues to escape, and it is much more difficult to pursue."

Zhu Ci looked at Su Tiancheng who had a serious expression, and stopped talking.

"General Qin, can you tell us about the confrontation between the white pole army and the bandits?"

A pained look appeared on Qin Liangyu's face.

"The white pole army fought three times with the rogue bandits, among which there were two large-scale fights, and a total of more than 8000 people were lost."

Su Tiancheng took a deep breath. He never imagined that the Baigan army suffered such heavy losses. Could it be said that the fighting power of the rogues is so crazy? The Baigan army is good at fighting in the mountains. It is not so easy for the pole army.

"General Qin, how could the losses of the Baigan army be so heavy, can you tell me the details."

"His Royal Highness, my lord, the White Pole Army was not defeated by the bandits, but by their schemes. After the bandits entered Sichuan, the last general thought that they could be wiped out as soon as possible. Stayed in Sichuan for a long time, the first fight, the last general had the upper hand, beheaded many rogues before, after that, the rogues retreated to the area around Kuizhou Prefecture, relying on the terrain, they were unwilling to fight the last general, and it was also the last time Negligence, not pursuing and beating hard."

"Two months later, in the second confrontation, the situation was different. The rogues seemed to know all the deployment of the general, and targeted the general's food transportation route, causing the general to withdraw food and grass. This time, we lost a lot of food and grass, but fortunately, the soldiers suffered little casualties."

"Last August, the final preparations were complete and the third attack was launched against the bandits. This time, not only the white soldiers participated in the attack, but also the sergeants of the Kuizhou Guard and Baoning Guard. This is the attack , the last general suffered a disastrous defeat, he was ambushed by the bandits, and the white soldiers lost more than [-] men, and the last general was almost lost."

"The fighting power of the bandits is so strong, the general can't believe it. Could it be that they have some special way? After returning, the general will start to interrogate to see what the reason is. Only then will the general know that the Kuizhou guard and the Baoning guard Some of the sergeants mutinied, they said that the army's combat deployment was disclosed, and the general didn't know about it, so he acted according to the original plan, and he was almost beaten everywhere."

"After this battle, the rogue's sphere of influence began to stabilize. Afterwards, Master Lu led his army to attack, but he failed to win."

"In Kuizhou Mansion and Baoning Mansion, except for Yixingchi, which is still in the hands of the government, the rest of the places are almost the sphere of influence of the rogues. The last general has also inquired. The rogues have strict discipline, do not harm the people, and have won the support of the people Support, even some people in the place where the last general was stationed, because of the famine, they all went to the bandits."

. . .

Everyone's expressions changed. From Qin Liangyu's narration, everyone became clear about three facts.

The first is that the rogues have a strong base and have won the support of some common people. This is similar to the situation in Shaanxi, that is, they have a mass base. It seems that they fought several times with the Jiangning Battalion, and after suffering a disastrous defeat, they paid more attention to intelligence work than ever before. The third is the Sichuan Guard Army, which has a big problem. Under the current situation, it is very rare for the Guard Army to mutiny. After all, it is not the situation of previous years. Why did the guard army mutiny? Where is the problem? Is it the local government or the officers of the guard. [

Under such circumstances, the possibility of exterminating the bandits in a short time is obviously not great.

"General Qin, the transformation of the rogues is still normal. If there is no change, they will not be able to gain a foothold. I have a question. I hope General Qin can answer it truthfully. Don't have any scruples. Why did the troops of the Sichuan Guards mutiny appear? Condition."

"The last general is the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, and he has an inescapable responsibility. Please His Royal Highness and Your Excellency punish him."

"Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. This officer wants to know why this happened."

Qin Liangyu's face slowly turned red, and the circles around her eyes were also a little red.

"The sergeants of the Sichuan Guards Army are treated so badly that they cannot feed their families. Coupled with the poor harvest of food, they are almost starving to death. The last general tried every means to save them, but it is not enough to solve the problem. It is acceptable for the sergeant to talk about natural disasters, but it is unbearable to discriminate against the sergeants of the Sichuan Guard."

"Why did General Qin say such words, who discriminated against the sergeants of the Sichuan Guard."

"His Royal Highness, my lord, not only the sergeants of the Sichuan guards, but also the white pole army, have also been discriminated against. Yes, Sichuan is a place where foreigners live, and there are many ethnic minorities. Although the last general is the chief officer, he is also a chieftain. From the background, the Baigan Army was originally the chieftain army, which cannot be compared with the imperial court's army. Every time when the rogues were wiped out, the Sichuan Weisuo army, including the Baigan Army, always rushed to the forefront. If the battle was unfavorable, no matter how big it was All losses will be reprimanded, and even officers will be punished by marching. The last general once saw a guard commander with his own eyes, who was beheaded because he failed to stop the bandits from retreating. This commander only had 500 yuan in his hand. People, but they want to intercept more than 1 rogues, and the general will argue hard, but it is useless. Such actions will deal a great blow to the general, and a greater blow to the officers of the guard." (To be continued.
