Chapter 2087 Gui Zi Scroll: Turn waste into treasure, fight poison with poison

 Feng You, who had been sitting aside without saying a word, listened to the conversation between the three brothers Feng Ziying and Wang Chengwu.

On the one hand, he felt that Brother Keng was becoming more sophisticated in his conversation and behavior. On the other hand, Feng You was also carefully evaluating the content of the conversation between the two and his judgment of Wang Chengwu.

After the three Wang Chengwu brothers withdrew, Feng Ziying asked Feng You what he thought, and Feng You frankly expressed the feasibility of some of the suggestions Wang Chengwu had just put forward.

"The west gate wall is indeed worthy of attention. Wang Chengwu proposed that setting up an ambush is not a problem, but Ziying, you may have to consider whether our army can annihilate the enemy once they attack. If the time is prolonged, the opponent may take advantage of it..."

"The usefulness of people like Li Guibao, Liu Dingfeng and others. Wang Chengwu's suggestion is very insightful. Three or five people form an assault team. This can be practiced in advance to cooperate, strive for tacit understanding, and invest at the critical moment. It can indeed play a good role in using steel on the blade."

, defeat the enemy in one fell swoop,..."

"The construction of a city defense system is comprehensive and cannot rely on any one item. The city walls of Wubao City are indeed low, but they are far superior to those used in field operations. Various facilities and weapons are deployed on the city walls, and their lethality cannot be compared to those in field operations.

Yes, being condescending will have a greater impact on the psychological momentum of these insurgents who have not fought many battles. Similarly, having a city wall to rely on will also give the defenders a greater sense of security..."

"As for the other trump card mentioned by Wang Chengwu, it can be discussed. If used properly, it is indeed extremely lethal. However, I have only heard that such things are abundant here, but I have never seen them...

…”

Feng You's words are the words of an old man who upholds the country. Feng Ziying quite agrees with it, but he also supports some of Wang Chengwu's opinions.

For example, Wang Chengwu proposed that his brother Wang Chengbiao lead 300 elites to hide outside the city and choose the opportunity to make a surprise attack. This was obviously a somewhat risky move.

How effective can three hundred people be against the tens of thousands of rebels? But Wang Chengwu said that the rebels fought back and attacked. Although the people in Boyan Village and Baitang Village are now separated from other rebels, they will be attacked once they unite.

It may be difficult to distinguish the city so clearly. If one part can be selected as a breakthrough to attack, once successful, it can cause huge chaos and gain time and opportunities for the defenders.

Wang Chengbiao also generously expressed his willingness to lead troops and wait outside the city, and Feng Ziying finally agreed to the other party's request to fight.

However, he also told the other party that they should choose a good time. If the time is not ripe, they would rather wait than act rashly.

After a series of orders were issued, the entire Wubao County finally began to run nervously like a wound machine.

If the previous siege of the rebel army brought more chaos to Wubao County, then now that Feng Ziying and his party have arrived, they have quickly stabilized the situation, giving Xia Zhiling, the people in the county government, a backbone and a backbone.

Reliance, everything is carried out according to Feng Ziying's instructions, and there is no more confusion and confusion.

All required weapons and supplies, as long as they are available in the county, must be provided by the merchants and gentry unconditionally. Of course, the government will also register them and wait for the unified settlement after the war.

However, the merchants are very enthusiastic about this. They know very well that now that we have reached this point, once the rebel army breaks through the city, they are afraid that nothing can be saved. If they continue to be stingy with this little thing now, they will not only be penalized by the government.

, and in the end neither side will be happy.

Minzhuang and his family soldiers were mainly responsible for guarding the east gate, while Wang Chengwu's troops took over the west gate.

Li Guibao, Liu Dingfeng and others formed seven mobile assault teams of three to five people, responsible for responding at several key points on the city wall.

Feng You incorporated all the soldiers he led into Wang Chengwu's army. The training together in the past few days also greatly enhanced their familiarity with Wang Chengwu's soldiers. At least they can have a general understanding and know their names.

Come, this is very important for fighting together once the war breaks out.

On June 9th, news was received from the frontline scouts that the vanguard of the rebel army had reached a place less than five miles away from Wubao County.

It has to be said that a rebel army is a rebel army. It can be seen from the organization of Wang Chengwu's Ministry. Before accepting the reorganization, there were not even special scouts. They only sent out some temporary sentries to inquire about the situation before the war. They had no professional quality or ability.

They have not received special training, and their ability to obtain and feedback intelligence is very poor.

After Feng You led a group of people to help take over Wang Chengwu's army for training, he began to consciously help Wang Chengwu form a formal scout team.

This is why Feng You is not optimistic about these rebel armies. This cannot be built overnight. It will not take a year and a half to form a decent institutional system.

Fortunately, there were many refugees from Wubao, Suide, Qingjian, Mizhi, and Jiazhou areas in Wang Chengwu's team. After some screening, it was easy to select a group of people who had certain characteristics and were very familiar with the situation in this area.

The manpower comes, and after a brief training, he can "depart the army" with the man who is a scout in Feng You's personal army.

A batch of firecrackers and ammunition transported from Qikou Ferry were also delivered, but the number was not large, only three hundred. Moreover, the key was that there was no time. Almost no one in the rebel army knew how to operate the firecrackers, and it was necessary to achieve smooth operation.

The three-stage shooting process is simply not possible now.

"The situation is like this now. The rebels are only five miles away from us. It is expected that they will arrive at the city early tomorrow morning." Feng Ziying walked around the flower hall and looked at Zheng Chongjian, Sun Chuanting and Chen Qiyu with a smile, and beside him there were

Xia Zhiling and Wang Wenyan, "Don't blame me for dragging you into a pit of fire. I have asked for your opinions before. You are willing to come to Shaanxi. I just sent a letter to the imperial court. Who would have thought that the imperial court's order would come?"

So soon, I asked you to travel all night to come to my place to report."

"Okay, Ziying, don't make sarcastic remarks there. We've all been here, and now we're still in this city with you. You're not afraid, so what are we afraid of?" Zheng Chongjian waved his hand, "It's up to you to treat this

A large number of rebel troops have been directly converted into guards. Do the Ministry of War and the imperial court agree? This is against the imperial court's rules."

"Everything is in such chaos, but the frontier army is stretched thin. I'm afraid you don't know the situation of Shaanxi Dusi. The establishment of the guard army is in name only. Qichengdu is just a list on paper. I am still thinking about Yichuan, Luochuan and Xiao in the south.

What should we do in the prefecture? Even the prefectures and counties north of Yan'an Prefecture basically have no guards, and they all count on the Yulin frontier army to come to the rescue. But now the Yulin army is facing pressure from the Tumutes and Fengzhou Bailian, and the Ministry of War has instructed not to act lightly.

, If I don’t find a solution myself, why should I just sit back and wait for death?”

Feng Ziying's words left Zheng Chongjian speechless. As the governor of Shaanxi, he was surrounded in the small county town of Wubao and faced the threat of rebels at any time. What kind of nonsense rules did he have to take into account at this time? So Feng Ziying, the governor of Shaanxi, really

It's best to stop doing it.

"Dazhang, I think Ziying's point of view is correct. The guard system has been inherited since the Ming Dynasty. The settlement system itself has many disadvantages. Now it has become a waste of money for the local guards. Shaanxi is a border town.

More prominently, it stands to reason that these guard troops were originally the source of reserve soldiers for the three sides and four towns, but now the court does not pay much attention to the three sides and four towns. The Northwest Army has transferred the elites of the four towns to the Central Plains. The next three

The four border towns definitely need to be replenished, and the Dusi-Wei Suo has no response in this regard. I think Ziying can kill two birds with one stone by doing this. He can first recruit and reorganize the guards into quelling the rebellion, and select the best ones to join the border army in the future.

." Sun Chuanting also agreed with Feng Ziying's approach.

"Yuxuan, what do you think?" Feng Ziying asked Chen Qiyu.

Chen Qiyu thought for a while and said: "Ziying is now the right minister of the Ministry of War and the imperial envoy to patrol Shaanxi. He should be responsible for making decisions when the opportunity arises. If these rebels do not surrender by recruiting means, what will be done? They can be placed anywhere.

Instability is a problem. It is better to reorganize them, fight fire with fire, let them be responsible for conquering the rebel army, and select those with outstanding performance and outstanding records to be included in the border army. Since they have conquered and wiped out the rebel army, there is naturally no way back.

He also proved his combat effectiveness in the war, so it is only natural that he be included in the border army."

Seeing that his two classmates agreed with this approach, Zheng Chongjian just reminded Feng Ziying not to get carried away. His father was a military general. If he interfered too much in military affairs, it would inevitably make the princes in the DPRK think differently, especially in the northwest.

These areas, which are already heavily influenced by the Feng family, should avoid attracting gossip.

But the current situation does not allow for rigidity. This kind of recruitment and then reorganization into the main force of the Qing Dynasty and suppression of rebellion is also a last resort choice. It can even be dealt with in this way. Otherwise, how to deal with the Shaanxi rebellion army that is blooming everywhere?

"Now that everyone has reached a consensus on this policy, we will follow this approach in the future. To be honest, the health offices in various states and counties in Shaanxi exist in name only. I have not seen the bottom line on the Dusi side, but based on the situation here in Yan'an Prefecture

It seems that the number of soldiers including the guard station will not exceed 3,000. The reason is probably that the Yulin Army is on the side. The situation may be slightly better in Qingyang Prefecture and Hepingliang Prefecture. Most of them have become farmers. If they really want to recruit,

They may not be worthy of these rebel soldiers, but at least the rebel soldiers in Boyan Village and Baitang Village have some combat effectiveness..."

Feng Ziying glanced at Zheng Chongjian and the others, "So this battle in Wubao will only be our beginning. After this battle, as long as we defend Wubao City, defeat the rebels, and then take the opportunity to recruit the surrendered soldiers, then I will

It’s up to Da Zhang, Boya and Yuxuan to take charge. Of course, I will give you enough officers and soldiers to assist you in reorganizing. Our tasks in the future are still very heavy. I am even a little worried about what I can do in Shaanxi.

Stable, but will Shanxi and Henan be in chaos instead?"
