Chapter 147 Is this the will of God?
"Hahaha... OK! Lord Su will become a great man in the future!" Shi Lang laughed out loud when he heard this.
After laughing, I said to Su Sheng: "Mr. Su, you are really talking. I have always blamed you for being too greedy. I have always asked you to bite a piece of fat meat. Hahaha, but after hearing what you said, I am in a good mood. You can forget everything, including the Qing soldiers' escape route, Liu Qingtai's psychological activities, and even the governor has been plotted by you. Let you bite a piece of meat, it's not a loss! Hahaha..."
Shi Lang directly admitted that he had blamed Su Sheng for being open and honest.
He understood that all the people here today are smart people and the emperor's confidants. He was not afraid of anything else, but was afraid that the emperor would keep a small account for him. Today's affairs would definitely be passed into the emperor's ears without word of mouth, and it would be like to hide it from his stomach. It would be better to admit it openly.
When the emperor knew about it, he could only laugh it off.
Shi Lang is also a helpless move.
Because Su Sheng said so well.
The first is to bring out the emperor, a great god who no one dares to offend, and it also moves openly and clearly. Whether it is strategy, general, or military use, it is all the credit of the emperor. What can you do if Shi Lang? Don’t accept it? Do you dare?
Second, it seems that he is praised by Shi Lang, but in fact, he is praised by the emperor. Even if it is spread, it will not leave people with the impression that "Su Sheng is holding Shi Lang's stinky feet";
Third, I can say that I am not that bad. The soldiers I train are also elite soldiers. Strong soldiers are still methods learned from the emperor. In other words, if you can eat a piece of meat, you have the ability to eat it in your mouth, and this ability is also derived from the emperor's true teachings.
Therefore, Chen Bowen said that he "caught chickens and stopped calling - he was successful."
So, Shi Lang pinched his nose and accepted it.
Seeing that Zhang Keda was silent, Chen Bowen and Su Sheng sat there drinking tea and watched coldly, knowing that he must have something else to do, so they stood up and said goodbye after a few words.
After the two left, Shi Lang asked Chen Zhongwu and his two compatriots to wait for a while and invited Zhang Keda into the study.
"Mr. Zhang, does the emperor still have a secret order?"
There were only two people in the study room, Shi Lang asked.
"Yes, there is an oral order from the emperor." Zhang Keda replied, stood up and stood facing south.
"I respectfully ask the saint for peace." Shi Lang hurriedly knelt down.
"Sage Gong'an." Zhang Keda answered, and then said, "Zunhou, I ask you, do you mean to blame Su Sheng?"
When Shi Lang heard this, he suddenly felt a sudden heart: "Master, why do you know everything? I didn't say anyone."
"When you go back to your Majesty, I can't hide my thoughts from the emperor. I really blame Su Sheng for robbing merits." Shi Lang replied honestly.
"Zunhou, it's not that I said you, you're too petty, right? You are my loyal minister. If you have a broad mind, how can you only see the things in front of your eyelashes? Su Sheng was originally the commander of the imperial guards of the Shaowu Dynasty, and he was the young master. How could he have the talent to lead the army? Now after more than a year of transformation, he can already stand alone. It's not the merits of the court or the blessing of the court?"
"When you go back to Your Majesty, I know that I am wrong. I thought that Su Sheng had no ability and was trying to win the credit by leveraging his power. But today's Su Sheng's words really make me ashamed. Su Sheng relies on His Majesty's cultivation, is good at making decisions, is bold and meticulous, and has the talent of a general. I have already let go and feel ashamed of his narrow-mindedness at the time."
"I ordered Zhang Keda to personally pass on oral orders, and there is another very secret matter. After your troops advanced north, Jierhalang ordered Oboi as the vanguard and advanced southward. Now the troops have surrounded Ji'an. My intention is to lure the enemy deeper, and then gather and annihilate it. In order to prevent the Qing soldiers from discovering my strategic intentions, they will retract back to Nanzhili. Therefore, you should not advance north in Luoyuan for the time being, and rest on the spot, so that the Qing soldiers cannot understand your intentions. In addition, take this opportunity to take the opportunity to secretly arrange the attack on Nanzhili. How to arrange is your business, I only have one result: that is, once I order you to attack Nanzhili, you must take Nanzhili in the shortest time!"
"I obey the order! I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's high expectations. Please rest assured!"
...
The navy was wiped out, Funing and Xiapu were lost again, and the news reached Jiujiang, Jiergalang and Hong Chengchou were all stupid!
Is the Ming army's combat effectiveness too strong, or is the Beiyang navy too poor? Or is it both?
When it comes to the combat effectiveness of the navy, both Jirgalang and Hong Chengchou are very clear that they are definitely not opponents of the Ming army.
The gap lies there. First, the Ming army has many naval divisions and excellent ships, and the troops are also less than 20,000; second, the weapons and equipment are some of the Qing soldiers, some of the Ming soldiers, some of the Ming soldiers, but not the Qing soldiers. Not only does it have it, but it is also very powerful.
However, the gap is not that big. Although grenades are powerful, they must be thrown out by the strength of their arms, and the range is its biggest shortcoming.
In order to win, he chose to attack when the north wind was in full swing in winter, and he also used Qian Qianyi's influence in the Ming Dynasty to successfully transfer Shi Lang, who was unwilling to take risks.
With so many favorable conditions, the Ming army was wiped out in one day and one night!
Such a one-sided massacre is definitely not because of the small force and poor weapons and equipment. A big mistake should have been made in tactical command.
This big mistake is to underestimate the enemy.
Liu Qingtai was dead, Zheng Zhibao was dead, and even Altai was dead. No major general rushed out alive. It is unknown how they fought such a material battle, but from the escaped soldiers, Jiergalang and Hong Chengchou generally understood their deployment.
Liu Qingtai was not at all wary of the Ming army's move to divide the troops and circumvent him.
Why not be careful? The root cause is careless.
They certainly believe that Shi Lang has been delaying the war and will not fight so early.
"Oh!" Jirhalang sighed heavily and said, "A general is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops. Liu Qingtai and Zheng Zhibao are all old corpses. How could they be so careless? Eight hundred ships and more than 80,000 people were completely gone overnight. From then on, the word "Qingshu Shi" has become a thing of the past, and it really hurts!"
After saying that, he didn't hear Hong Chengchou's answer, and he didn't feel a little strange.
When he looked up, he saw Hong Chengchou's mouth was slightly opened, his face was stunned.
"Heng Jiu, what are you thinking? Didn't you hear me talking?"
"Uh..., Prince, I'm thinking, now it seems that the strategy we have formulated to directly attack Guangzhou and capture Zhu Youlang alive is correct." Hong Chengchou came back to his senses and answered Jiergalang's question.
Chapter completed!
