Lu Gongzhu was really good. Knowing the strategic goal this time, he immediately blocked the borders between Guangnan, Annan and Dali as soon as he arrived in Guangnan.
Taking this step into consideration made Zhao Xi more confident in this war.
The members of the Gongfang City Yamen finally came out after many rounds of games.
Su Ziyuan really became an official of the Gongfang City Yamen, although it was just a recommendation... This position was purely a sinecure in Gongfang City, and at least he entered the Gongfang City system.
Zhao Xi saw Shen Kuo's name here for the first time.
Shen Kuo was a Jinshi a few years ago, and his position at this time was either the censor's desk or the general's supervisor. Generally, Jinshi who were not in the top three had been trained in these departments in the previous few years.
At this time, it is time for him to change his position, usually to serve as a deputy in Xiazhou, or as a county official.
Unexpectedly, the imperial court would place him in Gongfang City.
"This Shen Kuo..."
"After returning to the official family, Shen Cunzhong recommended himself to serve in Gongfang City. He was supposed to be appointed as the second official of Xiazhou or the chief official of Shangxian County this autumn."
"Self-recommendation to Gongfang City was approved by the imperial court. He was originally in the Censorship Station. After taking office in Gongfang City, he continued to assume the responsibility of the Censor."
An official from the 6th or 7th grade really can't catch the eyes of the princes, at least he is not qualified now.
"Send Shen Kuo to work under Su Zizheng."
The other Zhao Xi did not move, and all of them were corrected.
After all, Shen Kuo was a famous scientist in later generations and was assigned to Su Song, so he should be able to help Su Song.
As for the rest, let it be like that. With Han Zhen in charge and Su Song, Xue Xiang, Li Jie and others cooperating, Gongfang City cannot be in chaos. Those who work in Gongfang City will only be affected by Gongfang City.
This time, the officials in Qiandi had a great harvest.
The imperial court also acquiesced in this. The Southern Expedition coach was selected openly, and Gongfang City was considered the first time the imperial court set foot in it, and it also required the efforts of former officials.
For the court, this is also an improvement. The importance of Gongfang City to the country has become more and more important in recent years. It is already a great progress for the court to enter Gongfang City. No one wants to completely change the official position. The industrial system was stripped out.
To put it this way, if we want to completely separate ourselves from the official family, it means that most of the court officials must also give up this part of their interests.
No one spoke up about such an outrageous suggestion.
According to Lu Gong, in other words, the Southern Expeditionary Army did not disappoint the imperial court.
According to the march time, it should have been not long after the Southern Expeditionary Army arrived in Guangnan... It was only part of it.
The other part is on standby in Chengdu, waiting for any news from Guangnan.
That is to say, these 30,000 new troops quickly entered the Annan territory from Temo Road... As Zhao Xi expected, Annan indeed deployed heavy troops in the Gaobang area.
Unfortunately, it was almost a repeat of more than ten years ago. Annan's team could not withstand the bombardment of gunpowder bombs, let alone this time it was equipped with chariots and wheeled cannons.
There was no decent resistance at all, so they were defeated by the country's southern expeditionary army and advanced all the way east.
At the same time, the Guangnan New Army and the Forbidden Army gathered in the north of Taipingzhai began to charge in the direction of Langson.
In less than a month, they captured Gaobang and Langsong in Annan.
The reason why he was able to achieve such an overwhelming victory was not because of Lu Gongzhu's great military talent.
He knew his abilities very well. For many years, he had spent time with officials in the guard camp, communicated with Di Qing, and discussed with the guard camp captain. He knew that he was still an amateur when it came to leading troops in combat.
To be able to get the position of head coach of Nanzheng, to put it bluntly, he took advantage of opportunities, or plagiarism.
He completely considered what the officials would do if they led the troops, and tried to do things according to the officials' ideas. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.
Lu Gongzhu also knew that he did not have the strategic and tactical omnipotence of an official, but one thing he learned was the approach of the combat headquarters, or the staff department.
Like the officials, he gathered all the generals above the commander level, whether they were the New Army, the Western Army, or the Forbidden Army, and let them all come together to advise on how to fight.
After brainstorming, he deeply realized the benefits of this approach.
"On the Staff during the War"... Lu Gongzhu was not a self-respecting person. As soon as he beat Annan down, he summarized the gains and losses of this victory and carefully submitted the report to the court. , focused and detailed introduction to the pros and cons of staff operations.
From the early southern expedition following the official family, to the last western expedition against Xixia, and then to this southern expedition, the role of the pre-war staff is objectively and fairly explained.
"One person is short-term, and everyone is wise. Uncle Ji's words provide a reference for the country's war. However, is it really appropriate to let many generals control the war arrangements?"
Lu Gongzhu was not a particularly flexible person, and the reason why he presented the memorial to the court was not to flatter the officials.
It can also be seen from the memorial that Mr. Lu really summed it up carefully.
Wen Yanbo has been a head coach, and Han Qi has also been a head coach. Both of them have the kind of decision-making approach.
Not to mention how the generals fought together, basically in front of them, the generals had no chance to say anything.
But after seeing this excerpt written by Lu Gong, I had to treat it with caution.
"That's not necessarily the case. Clear goals and prioritize. For the imperial court, the commander directs the battle, and the victory or defeat is the responsibility of the commander. The general's contribution is basically to destroy the enemy..."
Fu Bi once communicated with officials because of the differences between civil and military affairs. He still remembered what the officials said at that time:
Civil and military positions are just differences in job titles. To a certain extent, there should be no specific distinction between civil and military positions.
Civil servants won't be able to charge into battle, and similarly, military generals won't be able to do it when they reach a certain level.
There are civil servants who understand strategy and tactics, and there are also generals who are familiar with a subset of classics. The reason why the civil and military affairs of a country and a dynasty are so distinct is not that there is a difference between civil and military affairs, but that the selection method or training system of the civil and military forces of a country and dynasty is wrong.
To separate the civil and military training, or to abandon the pure growth of either side, is to be crippled and unable to be stable.
At that time, they were just talking about it in general terms and just as casual chat. At that time, Fu Bi didn't really take it seriously.
This time, Dang Lu Gongzhu stood out in the confrontation and showed strong military talent.
Thinking again about Lu Gong's resume over the years, Fu Bi couldn't help but think of those casual remarks made by officials again.
The reason why Lu Gongzhu is today is because he has been in the guard camp for so many years, which is purely a military camp. It was also there that Lu Gongzhu received too many military experiences and perspectives.
Similarly, the environment in the guard camp also made the so-called soldiers no longer just reckless men.
It is said that any soldier in the guard camp is capable of giving a pre-war speech.
Using the soldiers of the guard camp to train the new army will not only improve the combat capabilities of the new army, but also change the spirit and spirit. Compared with the original Forbidden Army, the new army has more faith and temperament.
These are definitely not something that a soldier can do.
