"Speak clearly." Sun Chengzong was very dissatisfied with people like Zhong Jinwei who couldn't understand what he said.
"It means standing in a military posture. No matter how strong or weak you are, you must go through training. If you train in the army, you must at least have discipline. Let them all stand together in a queue, and eliminate those who cannot stand first. In this way, those who have not been trained,
The civilians brought in temporarily can be eliminated, and those in the army who were not trained before can also be eliminated." Zhong Jinwei said a lot at once.
In fact, when Zhong Jinwei said to stand in a military posture, Sun Chengzong, who was experienced in military affairs, understood what Zhong Jinwei meant.
It’s really because I’m in this mountain and I don’t know where I am in the depths of the clouds.
After Sun Chengzong was reminded by Zhong Jinwei, an effective plan immediately appeared in his mind, and a smile appeared on his face. Then he said to Zhong Jinwei: "It's okay, but just lining up is not enough. You have to do it again."
Just add some ingredients, those generals are all experienced and not easy to deal with."
Zhong Jinwei saw that Sun Chengzong looked confident now, and he felt relieved that he finally had a solution. However, he was also curious about what Sun Chengzong meant by adding more ingredients.
Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng also deeply admired Zhong Jinwei. Zhong Jinwei had never been to the military camp, but he could tell the commonalities between soldiers of both big and small strength. No matter what, this vision and insight were rare.
The last time they saw Zhong Jinwei, he was reckless and kind-hearted. Coupled with what they saw this time, they couldn't help but feel towards Zhong Jinwei that they would not be in trouble if they served him in the future.
Zhong Jinwei didn't know that he had two more fans, and was asking Sun Chengzong: "Master Sun, what do you mean by the material?"
Sun Chengzong laughed a few times, stroked the long beard under his forehead, and then said: "This time I have to beat them to death with a stick, so that they will not have any excuses, otherwise there will be no suitable reason to treat them."
They are here. You are the Supervisor, and you must be present during all discussions, so just watch from the side, and maybe you can cooperate with me."
"Master Sun, you have to explain it to me clearly, otherwise I won't be able to cooperate with you." Zhong Jinwei said helplessly.
"You are the supervisor, and you represent the emperor. You are the white face, and you can scare them as much as you can. I am the red face, and I will coax them when it's time to coax them. The purpose is just one, to make them line up to fight.
"
Zhong Jinwei thought this was no problem, thought about it carefully, and then asked: "If we are standing in a queue, how long is the appropriate time? Half a day, one day?"
Sun Chengzong had already considered it all, so he didn't think twice about Zhong Jinwei's question and said directly: "No. Based on the number of people eliminated, the ratio of those soldiers under these military leaders who can really fight is probably not even one to five."
Yes. I'll give them some face. Don't force them too much. Just reduce the troops at a ratio of one to five of the existing total."
Zhong Jinwei thought to himself: If there are 50,000 people, but only 10,000 can barely fight, is this too ridiculous?
In fact, it is not too ridiculous, only more ridiculous. The only people who could fight in the army in the late Ming Dynasty were the generals' servants. The existence of other military households was to make money for them, so there was no fighting ability at all.
"Master Sun, how many King Qin's troops are there now?"
Sun Chengzong thought about it carefully, and then said: "In the past few days, some Qinwang troops have arrived one after another. There are about more than 400,000 in total. This time we need to squeeze more water. If we leave more than 80,000, it will be almost enough."
Zhong Jinwei also knew what Sun Chengzong said, and the numbers were definitely correct. If so many were successfully eliminated, the emperor would probably smile, and the gray hair of Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Household Affairs, would also be reduced.
Having said this, Sun Chengzong shouted outside the tent: "Here comes someone."
A leader of his soldiers swooped in.
"Go and call Liaodong Commander-in-Chief Zu Dashou to come see me."
The leader of the soldiers said "yes" and then bowed and retreated.
"Just call Zu Dashou here?" Zhong Jinwei was a little puzzled.
"The Guan Ning army that came to the rescue this time are all cavalry, and they are also elites in the Guan Ning army. Now they are all under his control. There is no need to eliminate these cavalry troops." Sun Chengzong explained to Zhong Jinwei in detail this time.
"Well, yes, that's no problem." Zhong Jinwei nodded, and then added: "There should be no need to eliminate all cavalry."
"Exactly, so I don't plan to eliminate the cavalry troops this time." Sun Chengzong also admired Zhong Jinwei's ability to draw inferences from one example.
"Then why did you ask Zu Dashou to come over?" Zhong Jinwei seemed to have a lot of questions, and he kept asking them endlessly. "I need him to suppress other generals, just watch it."
"Okay." Zhong Jinwei probably understood what Sun Chengzong meant.
It didn't take long for Zu Dashou to sign up. His camp was not far from Sun Chengzong's Chinese army tent.
"I've seen my soldiers, I've seen my supervisors." Zu Dashou clasped his fists and saluted.
Sun Chengzong and Yan Yuese said to Zu Dashou: "Fuyu, are you under a lot of pressure recently?"
Zu Dashou was stunned and said, "I'm under a lot of pressure. I wonder if Emperor Chongzhen will settle accounts with me after Qiu. I just didn't dare to say it, so I said: "The general is worried about national affairs and wishes he could repel Jianlu immediately.
It’s a lot of pressure.”
Zhong Jinwei didn't know how to cooperate yet, so he just looked at the two of them and said something to each other.
Sun Chengzong suddenly changed his face at this moment, his face sank, and he said: "I know you very well, you can't even try to deceive me."
Zu Dashou's heart tightened, but he still refused to let go: "The general is really under a lot of pressure. You see, he can't sleep well every day, and his eyes are bloodshot." He relied on Sun Chengzong as an old leader to dare to do this in his own country.
Said in front of the soldiers.
"You are under a lot of pressure, I know that, but this is not the reason why you lied to me, but the reason why you are worried."
Zu Dashou knew that he couldn't hide it from Sun Chengzong, a sophisticated man. He looked at Zhong Jinwei and two people from Dongchang and knew that there must be a reason for Sun Chengzong to mention this matter in front of these three people.
So, he simply admitted frankly: "My soldier, it was you who told me to come back. It's my fault that I made a big mistake in a moment of confusion. After I came back, I haven't been able to sleep well, and I'm afraid of my dreams."
When Sun Chengzong saw that Zu Dashou had told the truth, he suddenly smiled and said: "Fuyu, now there is an opportunity for you to sleep peacefully. This is why I specially called you here. After all, I am the one who brought you back to the capital.
of."
Zu Dashou glanced at the supervisors on the side and thought about it in his mind. Suddenly, regardless of the armor he was still wearing, he knelt down on the ground and said with a mournful face: "My soldiers save me, the supervisors save me."
He knew that Zhong Jinwei must be involved and that Sun Chengzong would mention this matter in front of him, so he asked for help together.
Zhong Jinwei was a little confused when he said this. Wasn't he talking to Old Man Sun? He immediately shouted for help to himself. He didn't say anything and watched the two people continue to perform.
Sun Chengzong laughed "hehe" twice, and then said: "What are you doing? Get up and talk, otherwise I won't talk. It's time to rest. You have tortured my old bones these days."
Zu Dashou looked at him, then at Zhong Jinwei, and found that kneeling seemed to have no effect, so he had to stand up and listen to the old leader's advice.
Seeing that his ancestor was celebrating his birthday, Sun Chengzong said, "Fuyu, you should be aware of the recent situation?"
Although Zu Dashou didn't quite understand what Sun Chengzong was referring to, he couldn't leave the matter of Jianlu and the capital at all, so he nodded.
"Then do you know what is most important right now?"
"Repelled the Jianlu?" Zu Dashou guessed.
"It counts, but what is the first thing to do to repel the Jianlu?" Sun Chengzong seems to have suffered from his previous teaching problems. He likes to lead others in a systematic way. Whether it is against Zhong Jinwei or Zu Dashou, he likes to use this method.
Come and talk.
Zu Dashou thought for a while and replied: "Is this a strategy to eliminate the weak and retain the strong?"
"Exactly!" Sun Chengzong slammed the table and praised.
Zhong Jinwei was watching Zu Dashou answer questions when Sun Chengzong suddenly slapped the table, startling him slightly.
Zhong Jinwei glanced at Sun Chengzong with dissatisfaction, and slandered in his heart: He is so old, but his energy is still so strong. Speak well, as for slamming the table so loudly.
"But it is true that the soldiers led by the last general are all elite soldiers. There is really no way to eliminate the soldiers. You have to make the decision, my soldier. The last general really has no selfish motives." Zu Dashou picked up Chongtian Qu.
"Nonsense, how could I not know that you are leading elites?"
"Then, then..." Zu Dashou didn't know what to say.
"I didn't say that you have to eliminate the soldiers. I said that the reorganization of the army to eliminate the weak and retain the strong is very important. Your Majesty is very concerned about it. The current court is really unable to supply such a large amount of food and grass for the army. As long as you help your Majesty handle this matter
If it is done, it will leave a good impression on His Majesty, an impression of loyalty to the king, which will naturally offset the previous disadvantages."
Zu Dashou blinked, it turned out to be this, but how should I help? Is it so easy to reason with that group of people? My soldier's position is higher than his own, and his prestige is high, so why do I need him? So he asked
He said: "As long as I can serve the emperor, I will not hesitate to die. I just don't know what to do?"
