Chapter 587: Upheaval in the Northwest (2)
Once the camp is established, the military office, logistics office, military and political office and other institutions will inevitably be set up. Lin Chunyi's appeasement camp is naturally no exception.
Under the leadership of the General Manager of the Army, the Military Office is responsible for formulating combat plans, collecting battlefield intelligence, issuing combat instructions, etc. The Military and Political Department is responsible for maintaining military discipline, promoting and agitation, nullifying military merits, and organizing temporary battlefield courts. As for the Logistics Department, it is mainly responsible for the transportation, distribution of food, grass, military and supplies.
The general manager of the military, Chang Shudan, and the general manager of the military and political affairs, He Qingming, are all old people who have followed Lin Chunhong for more than five years. It is not surprising that they are attracted by the Governor's Office. Only the appointment of the general manager of the logistics company, Ma Shouying, was shocked.
There are many rumors that Lin Chunyi met Ma Shouying by chance in the Xuanwu Legion. He saw that Ma Shouying was deeply supported by the soldiers in the battalion under his command and handled all kinds of trivial matters in an orderly manner. Fang Jian poached Ma Shouying from the Xuanwu Legion and served as the deputy commander of the army in the Tiger Roar Legion.
Everyone did not believe such rumors and asked Lin Chunyi and Ma Shouying. Lin Chunyi and Ma Shouying were silent and refused to reveal any of them. Therefore, outsiders did not know the details.
Later, Ma Shouying was promoted to the position of the Chief of the Logistics Department of the Camp of Zhiguo because of his military achievements in Shandong. After more than half a year, Lin Chunyi strongly suggested that the Chief of the Governor's Office appoint Ma Shouying as the head of the logistics department of the camp. The Chief of the Governor's Office was asked and ordered Ma Shouying to temporarily take over the position of Chief of the Logistics Department of the Chief of the Governor's Office.
Whether it is the speed of promotion or the position of logistics chief executive who can take office as a temporary replacement by General Xuanwu, Ma Shouying has created the history of the Jingzhou Army.
Ma Shouying knew in his heart that he could be promoted so quickly was mainly due to Lin Chunhong's notes to him: be cautious and take the overall situation into consideration, and is deeply supported by the soldiers. Although he knew that from Lin Chunhong, Zhou Wang and Lin Chunyi all admired him very much, with his cautious personality, he was not at all complacent or satisfied.
He always warned himself with the dissatisfaction of senior generals in the army, for fear of making any mistakes and letting down a bright future. Therefore, during the two years of the Jingzhou army, he
Living is very tiring, and it can be described as being trembling as walking on thin ice.
When he served as the head of the camp's logistics manager for the first time, Ma Shouying encountered the logistics reform of the Jingzhou Army. The reserve team no longer organized civilians to transport supplies, but ordered merchants to transport food, grass, military supplies from the rear to Tongguan, and then the logistics department organized personnel to transport them to the front line. Ma Shouying was afraid that the merchants would be treacherous and missed the major issues, so he made suggestions to the Governor's Office and sent military representatives to the entire process to supervise and supervise that the military supplies were transported by the reserve team themselves.
Lin Chunhong and Zhou Wang praised the proposal and agreed to Ma Shouying's request.
At the same time, when Ma Shouying accepted the military bag, it almost reached a harsh level, which made some businesses extremely dissatisfied and even attacked the lawsuit to the Governor's Office, claiming that Ma Shouying deliberately made things difficult for him.
The Governor's Office naturally tended toward Ma Shouying and rejected the merchant's appeal.
The perfect supervision system, meticulous work and strict management regulations have made the appeasement camp worry-free. Ma Shou used his hard work to win the respect of most soldiers.
Chang Shudan, the head of the Military Office, started out as a logistics company and had a lot of experience in organizing logistics. Ma Shouying once commanded more than 100,000 troops to fight the court with a rich practical experience. The two often sat down to fight and benefited a lot from each other. As a result, the relationship between the two quickly heated up and became close friends. On this day, Chang Shudan suddenly received information from the Military Information Department, saying that in recent days, there were many grains and grasses moving north, and most of the grains and grasses were beans and grasses. He suspected that there were large cavalry activities in the north of Fengxiang.
Li Zicheng had only been in the Qinling Mountains for a few months, so where would there be a large cavalry? Chang Shudan was suspicious and asked someone to call Ma Shou to discuss.
After hearing this, Ma Shouying was confused and suggested that Chang Shudan strengthen battlefield reconnaissance and ordered the Longwu Army to send a small group of cavalry to go deep into the northwest of Jingyang to find out.
Chang Shudan thought about it and had no other good idea, so he had to report to Lin Chunyi immediately and ask Lin Chunyi to decide.
Lin Chunyi was shocked after receiving the report.
Compared with Chang Shudan and Ma Shouying, Lin Chunyi, as a core member of the Jingzhou Group, knows much more than the two. He knew that Li Zicheng and the Tartars had been fighting fiercely recently. The Tartars not only provided a large number of weapons and weapons with Li Zicheng through the Guanlong front line, but even sent a batch of war horses. According to the closeness between the two sides, it was not impossible for the Tartars to personally send cavalry to the northwest to assist in the war!
Could this group of cavalry be the cavalry of the Tartars?
Lin Chunyi immediately ordered the Tiger Roar Legion to speed up the marching speed and approach Jingyang quickly. In addition, he ordered the Longwu Army's reconnaissance cavalry to expand the reconnaissance range and shrink the main range of activities, and then coordinated to advance after the Tiger Roar Legion arrived in Jingyang.
At the same time, Lin Chunyi also sent a letter to Shuozhou, asking Shengkunshan to closely monitor the grassland dynamics to see if there were any large cavalry passing through the border.
As soon as Lin Chunyi's military order was sent everywhere through the Military Office, he received an urgent report from Wu Tianzhu, the Longwu Army, saying that Liu Zongmin suddenly strengthened his offensive in front of him. No matter how much the loss was, he was always like a slut and stubborn.
Wu Tianzhu also reported that in Xingping County, southwest, a bandit was found, with well-equipped, mostly armed, and advancing towards Jingyang!
Intuition tells Lin Chunyi that the war is coming soon!
It seems that Li Zicheng has a very sensitive sense of smell and tries to severely damage the Dragon Martial Army before the Tiger Roar Legion arrives in Jingyang!
Just looking at the mobs under Li Zicheng's command, Li Zicheng obviously has no strength to cause any harm to the Longwu Army. Li Zicheng's actions can only prove one thing: he has strong aids that the Jingzhou Army does not know!
"The Grand Marshal, the Tatar cavalry's going south is a foregone conclusion!"
Chang Shudan said in a very affirmative tone.
Lin Chunyi nodded and frowned: "The number of cavalry is unknown, and it is difficult to estimate the changes in the battlefield situation!"
After Lin Chunyi finished speaking, no one spoke again, and the atmosphere became a little dull. All the senior officers stared at the hills north of Jingyang and thought.
After a while, Ma Shouying suddenly cleared his throat, as if he had something to say.
Ma Shouying is cautious and taciturn, either not speaking. Once he speaks, there will be something to say. Lin Chunyi knows this deeply and asks happily: "What advice does General Manager Ma have?"
Ma Shouying saluted and said, "The art of war is that those who are good at fighting will lead people to others but not to others. The last general thinks that we don't have to pay attention to this cavalry at all!"
"Oh?" All the senior officers, including Lin Chunyi, were shocked and stared at Ma Shouying with confusion.
Ma Shouying was quite embarrassed and mustered up the courage to say: "The Longwu Army and the Tiger Roar Legion have a total of more than 30,000 troops. Although Li Zicheng has more than 50,000 people, most of them are mobs, so it is not to be afraid. Even if there are more than 20,000 cavalry in the north, as long as we deal with it carefully, we will not fall into a passive state..."
Ma Shouying said more than 20,000 cavalry, and all the generals laughed and said, "How could it be more than 20,000? Even if you die, you will not exceed 10,000. Neither the Tartars nor Li Zicheng were able to support more than 10,000 cavalry in Shaanxi."
Ma Shouying also smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Ma Shouying continued: "No matter how many cavalry there are in the north, in order to avoid possible risks, we can let the Longwu Army face the southwest to fight the Bianmin Army in the Xingping direction! As long as we wait for three days, the Tiger Roar Legion arrives in Jingyang, Li Zicheng has great skills and will be defeated quickly!"
As soon as Ma Shouying finished speaking, Chang Shudan shouted: "Wonderful! It's really wonderful! At the beginning, when General Tian was in Dabie Mountain, you hit you, I hit me, and ran away with the other person's nose!"
Chang Shudan often deduces the battle of the Dabie Mountains with Ma Shouying. He is extremely familiar with it. Now he is excited for a moment and even speaks it without any hesitation.
After saying that, Chang Shudan regretted it, his face turned red and he looked at Ma Shouying embarrassedly. The other generals were also surprised and their eyes turned to Ma Shouying.
Unexpectedly, Ma Shouying smiled faintly and said, "General Chang is right. The last general was inspired by General Tian's military use. As the saying goes, the previous chariot is overthrowing the next chariot."
Lin Chunyi was very satisfied with Ma Shouying's reaction and nodded, "This tactic is inconsistent with the strategy formulated by the governor. The governor once said that the most fundamental problem in Shaanxi and Henan is not military, but famine. It is not difficult to overcome Li Zicheng in military terms, but to comfort the people and restore the tranquility of Shaanxi. If the people cannot have a bowl of rice, even if Li Zicheng is wiped out, there will still be Wang Zicheng and Zhang Zicheng. Therefore, the strategic goal of the appeasement camp is to restore local order and fight against Li Zicheng with military force. In Jingzhou, there are still some financial problems. Once there is money and food, and there is a breakthrough in transportation, Shaanxi will become the stable rear of Jingzhou!"
"So, in Shaanxi, we are safe. As long as we are firmly nailed to Xi'an, if Li Zicheng attracts 100,000 Tatar cavalry, what kind of storms can he bring?"
Lin Chunyi's words were heard by the generals such as Chang Shudan, but he didn't feel anything. But when he heard by Ma Shouying, he felt a sense of enlightenment.
Ma Shouying had led more than 100,000 troops to fight against officers and soldiers for many years, and had rich tactical experience. Lin Chunyi's words were like breaking the paper and bringing him to a new world. When he was commanding more than 100,000 troops, if he always thought about the problem from a strategic level, why would he be defeated so miserably?
Ma Shouying smiled in his heart, drove away this ridiculous idea from his heart, and listened carefully to Lin Chunyi's orders.
"The command of the Longwu Army to immediately get rid of Liu Zongmin in front of him, and quickly go south to face the enemy in Xingping!"
"The first army of Tiger Roars rushed to Zhongzhang, Jingyang within three days and set up camp; the second army went to Yunyang, and the third army went to Xinzhuang!"
Ma Shouying looked at the sand table and found that the three places were supporting each other, and they could attack and retreat. Even if more than 10,000 cavalry of the Tartars suddenly attacked, it was enough to deal with it.
