Chapter 352: Mr. Wen Yang Became Stupid From Reading Too Much
l Zhu Youjian was not a scholar who looked down on the world, he just ridiculed the Donglin Party for this shady trick.
Mr. Wen Yang had not yet gathered the private soldiers contributed by more than a dozen aristocratic families, but detailed information was already on his dragon case. In addition to not knowing where Mr. Wen Yang, who was in charge of commanding the army, was going to attack, he even knew the slogan Mr. Wen Yang had raised, "Oppose taxation on merchants, clear the court, and punish traitors."
Thinking of Mr. Wen Yang's slogan, he couldn't help but laugh. Has this guy read too much and become stupid? Doesn't he know the truth that everyone knows that he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world?
If he raised a slogan like Li Zicheng, similar to "beat the local tyrants and divide the land", it is estimated that many hungry and cold people would respond to oppose taxation on merchants, which is equivalent to wanting to kill the people. It's good enough that the people don't kill you, so why would they rebel against you?
However, having said that, everyone knows the truth, but it is easy to be neglected, or it is easy to say but too difficult to do.
"Which place will Mr. Wen Yang attack first?" Zhu Youjian looked at Wu Buwei, Song Xiance, and Gu Junming, the three military advisors.
Although he was not worried about what kind of trouble Mr. Wen Yang could cause, he was still causing trouble in his own home, and innocent people were affected. If he could be well prepared to suppress the rebellion, he could minimize the losses.
"General Hong's National Defense Army Independent First Division Barracks."
Wu Buwei, Song Xiance, and Gu Jun exchanged glances, and then Wu Buwei answered.
According to the intelligence sent back by the Jinyiwei secret agent, Mr. Wen Yang's 20,000 troops gathered in Xiaoyang Village, only 20 miles away from the National Defense Army Independent First Division Barracks led by Hong Niangzi. Mr. Wen Yang wanted to make trouble and take over Mi County, and the National Defense Army Independent First Division led by Hong Niangzi was a hurdle he could not avoid.
Furthermore, if the Independent First Division is defeated, Mr. Wen Yang will not only clear the biggest obstacle, but the rebels under his command will also be able to seize a large amount of military supplies such as weapons, equipment and food, which will boost morale and successfully raise the anti-Ming banner, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
Eunuch Rong Mo was ordered to leave the palace again. This time, in addition to escorting a batch of ammunition and sanitary napkins and other daily necessities to Hong Niangzi, he also received a handwritten letter from Zhu Youjian.
Hong Niangzi has long been accustomed to Zhu Youjian's diligence, but when she opened Zhu Youjian's handwritten letter to read, her pretty face was full of surprise.
Someone actually wanted to sneak attack her military camp. Are they really tired of living?
Since she accepted the court's amnesty, her troops have been reorganized in Mi County, replaced with all-fire guns and artillery, and received various new military training.
As the commander of the First Independent Division of the National Defense Army, Hong Niangzi set an example by accepting the training of the instructors with the soldiers of the entire division, working hard and making the soldiers convinced and willing to serve.
With the annihilation of the two most powerful rebel armies of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, although there were still some scattered small rebel armies in various places, they were quickly suppressed by the government troops, and the Ming Dynasty, which had been devastated by the war, was rarely calm.
But even in the capital city where heavy troops were stationed and safer than any other place, the battle-hardened Hong Niangzi did not relax her vigilance. There were no less patrol teams on the open posts and secret sentries. Even without Zhu Youjian's reminder, Mr. Wen Yang wanted to lead the army to sneak attack her military camp, and he would never return.
Looking at the care and worry revealed between the lines of the letter, Hong Niangzi felt warm in her heart for some reason. Although she was a strong woman, she was also a woman and hoped to be cared for and loved.
Although she felt a little sorry for her late husband Li Yan, she was inexplicably happy.
After sending off Rong Mo, Hong Niangzi immediately ordered to stop the training and summoned all the generals to discuss matters.
All the generals of the Independent First Division were Hong Niangzi's subordinates, and they were all veterans who had experienced many battles. Even if they did not use muskets and only swung swords to kill, she did not take Mr. Wen Yang's 20,000 mobs seriously.
However, after seeing the power of firearms and new tactics, Hong Niangzi knew that traditional cold weapons such as swords would be eliminated and withdraw from the stage of history. In future wars, firearms would be king.
All the weapons of the Independent First Division were replaced and equipped with sophisticated volley guns and artillery. Her divisional guard company was equipped with the most advanced DM2 rifles, and more than a dozen sniper groups in the army were also equipped with the most advanced DM2 sniper rifles. However, this was the first battle after the equipment was replaced, and Hong Niangzi did not dare to be careless.
Under the absolute advantage, this encirclement and annihilation battle must be perfect, otherwise it would be a bit sorry for someone's high hopes and trust.
Oh, why does my aunt care so much about that guy's feelings?
Hongniangzi suddenly thought of something and her pretty face turned red.
