Wife's Observation Log

To defeat the rebels, you need to understand a few things first:

[-]. Who is the opponent?

Second, the comparison of combat power.

[-]. Battlefield selection.

Peng Pugui, a native of Meixian County, although intelligence and investigation are not easy, but he can know the beginning and the end just by asking the people, not to mention that according to the interrogation of Yin Liang's captives, he can know that Peng Pugui is Xu Shouhui's former subordinate.

The officers and soldiers of the Red Scarf Army of the Xu Department were basically devout followers of the White Lotus Sect, and the founder of the White Lotus Sect was Mao Ziyuan, a monk in the Southern Song Dynasty.Therefore, Peng Pugui's identity is very obvious, not only the remnant of Bailian, but also not low.Other channels of information also corroborate that he is the current leader of the White Lotus Sect.

Emperor Changning absolutely prohibited the Bailian forces, but the reasons were very different from those of Zhu Yuanzhang.Zhu Yuanzhang's backbone team members Xu Da, Tang He and others are all members of the White Lotus Sect, and they also served under the command of Han Liner, the leader of the White Lotus Sect during the Yuan Dynasty. Only when Han Liner ruled the Zhongyuan and fought against the north, Zhu Yuanzhang could develop insignificantly. face, so naturally it needs to be eradicated.

Emperor Changning was different. He never used the name of the White Lotus Sect, because he was born as a literati. established a firmer position.Although it was not possible to confront Han Liner from the beginning, but he never pretended to be false. Yan Jun clearly hated these demons and heresies, and resolutely cracked down on heresy associations.It is precisely because of this that compared with Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He and Xu Da did not receive more honor and favor under Emperor Changning.

But the enemy will not be just Xu Shouhui's former army, Lan Wei is very clear-headed. Compared with Shanxi, where Yao Chengsi thinks the local forces are complicated, Sichuan is actually only more complicated.It doesn't look like a powerful family, nor is it frequently invaded by neighboring Mongolia, but Yao Chengsi, who has never experienced war, can easily forget the situation before the Great Settlement of the World—how much power of the cloth merchant Xu Shouhui was divided up after his death, his pure old tribe Compared with another force, it should not be dominant. After all, Ming Yuzhen was the "master" of Sichuan back then. The Daxia established by Ming Yuzhen after Xu Shouhui's death has been operating in Sichuan for many years. The residual poison of Daxia Catalyzed by Peng Pugui's White Lotus Sect, will he really be willing to be lonely?

Encouraged by the internal and external situation, the old part of the Daxia regime hidden among the people in Sichuan naturally came to take a share.Now that Peng Pugui is so powerful and holds eight counties in his hands, it is because other forces in Jiading Prefecture and Zhongzhou have responded, not the people and places he actually controls.

The advantage of such a composition of opponents is that they can be divided and disintegrated and wiped out one by one; the disadvantage is that there is fire on all sides, and when the attack cannot be suppressed, it is easy to overturn and be stolen.

The next question is the comparison of combat power. At this time, the population of Sichuan is relatively sparse. As an elite, the Feixiongwei can easily take over other counties as long as they do not encounter the main forces of various forces. If the rebellion cannot be resolved, Lan Wei must obtain the strength of the Sichuan Guards.

Yin Liang's Sichuan Metropolitan Commander has a total of about 3 troops under his command. Lan Wei calculated the distance, except for the [-] people from the five guards in Chengdu that Yin Liang took directly to the front line, she needs at least one guard. Therefore, for Ningchuan, Maozhou, Jianchang, Chongqing, and Xunan, which are easy to mobilize, it is best to draw one-fifth each.Therefore, she wants to design a marching route that can replenish troops in time after each raid to wipe out the rebels and leave the garrison.

This is a non-difficult pursuit problem plus planning and solving. I don’t need to go into details. If I can’t solve it, I can enumerate it like filling in Sudoku and I can make up a better solution. Lan Wei, a liberal arts student, said that even if we Forgetting all the mathematical solutions will not forget the mathematical deception.

Lan Wei came to the front line and easily took down Zhongzhou, but this was not the turning point of the war. According to detailed communication, the main reason for Yin Liang's failure was that the Bailian rebels mainly fought in the gap, they rushed into a city, burned, killed and looted After that, he withdrew and wiped out the defenders in various towns.When the counter-insurgency of the guard came, they had already fled to find the next weak point. If the counter-insurgency army pursued them, they would be harassed by small groups continuously, and finally lost due to fatigue from the raid.

Although this is not a large-scale defeat, except for the original defenders, it will not cause a serious reduction in the number of active forces in Sichuan, but in Lan Wei's view, the accumulation of small things will add up. With the suppression, the situation of the officers and soldiers will only get worse.

Under such a guiding ideology, she did not disrupt the troops of the various guards, because reorganization would take time to adjust. Accordingly, instead, she sent her Feixiong guards to various units for mobile communication.Contacting this point is very important for Lan Wei's plan.

Taking Pingding Jiading Prefecture as an example, after Lan Wei arrived, he used combing tactics during the day to gather troops to search the mountains and villages. In this way, while annihilating small groups of enemy rebels who did not adapt to the current tactics, it increased the confidence and tacit understanding of the entire army.In the early nights, Lan Wei would organize reconnaissance training and signal review. In the later period, when the results of the day's battles gradually diminished, Lan Wei would send teams of hundreds of households to set fires in scattered places and make loud noises.

"Is this a suspicious soldier?" Fei Xiongwei Qianhu asked Lan Wei for advice while presenting the summary of his subordinates' news.

"Not bad, but it's not enough." Lan Wei thought for a while, these methods are currently aimed at creating mental pressure on the enemy, but the term "mental pressure" can't be directly spoken to Qian Hu, so she thought about the wording , Cai said, "They like to harass, we can deal with them in the same way. A team of one hundred households can at least create the momentum of half a team of thousands of households. If they look at the fire from a distance, they may lose the number It is estimated to be more than a thousand people. Compared with this number, they cannot take the risk of being discovered and do nothing. They are afraid, and if they evacuate, they will lose the opportunity to rest at night and the whole team will be more tired; if they want to fight at night, our team will directly launch Gather signals, encircle and suppress them."

What Lan Wei did not go on to say is that there is still room for further upgrading of this set of tactics. She asked everyone to carry out reconnaissance training, and ordered each team to observe the enemy's old camp and search for the enemy's abandoned objects. This can gradually analyze the rebels in the territory All-round portraits such as the quantity and food storage, so as to design "negligence" later.

Lan Wei has already figured out that when the rebels get used to the previous tricks, she will create an illusion for the enemy. When the enemy basically reaches the time to resupply, she will leave space in the area that has been searched two or three times, and then return to the carbine.

However, she hadn't had time to use this trick in Jiading Mansion anyway. If you want to ask why, Lan Wei doesn't think it's because the rebels are too stupid. dishes, what they have in common is that they really have no military vision.If the rebels want to fight this kind of harassment war for a long time, the essence must be closer to guerrilla warfare. Everyone in modern times knows what guerrilla warfare requires. One is the quality of individual soldiers, and the other is the mass base.

You say that the ancients didn't know the policy of guerrilla warfare, right? Peng Pugui himself should know a few words "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it." Otherwise, he must have heard the story of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, the earliest uprising army. The army is not the one who loves the people.As a result, you can see that Peng Pugui started to "take advantage of the gap to create chaos and burnt and loot the city". Except for the fanatic followers of the White Lotus Sect, no one would fear him like a tiger, let alone provide them with food and water.

To be honest, Lan Wei couldn't even understand why Yin Liang couldn't win. If he couldn't, he gathered the people in the village, harvested the rice in advance and cleared the fields.

Before the dust settled and Lan Wei took the captives back to the capital, Yin Liang smiled wryly as she took it for granted: "Lord Lan is the favorite general of the Eastern Palace, with a distinguished family background, a family, two princes and one prince, and the loss of a solid wall and a clear field will naturally be covered by someone. Of course I dare not."

Yao Chengsi lost his mind, or maybe in order to change the topic, he rubbed his chin and smiled: "I forgot to congratulate, your cousin has already been granted the title of Marquis of Yongchang, tsk, in fact, when you go back this time, it is very likely that you will also be sealed. Let me add another merit list to you."

Lan Wei waved her hand, but she really didn't think about it, she thought this battle was very easy.

"You blamed me for underestimating you before. I apologize and I have reflected on it. You can't see yourself clearly now." Yao Chengsi said while waving his hand to dismiss Yin Liang, perhaps because Yin Liang lost this time. Afraid that Jingzhong's fate will require Yao Chengsi's kind words, since the level is not much different, Yin Liang now feels awkward, "Even everyone seems to think that Lan Yu is better at fighting, but your brother's record is not stronger. What do you think?" Think about it, the army he joined after you fought against Fu Youde in the Southwest in Changning four years ago, and he didn't have any great achievements at that time; later he became a vanguard officer and defeated the expansion of Timur's ranger. Didn't you also fight before? This year he and General Zhengxi conquered the rebellion and rebellion in Xifan and won the feudal lord, and you beheaded the leader of the White Lotus Sect this year and put down the rebellion in the whole of Sichuan, isn't it almost the same?"

Lan Wei found that what she said was indeed very reasonable, but Lan Yu was granted the title of Marquis to conquer Beiyuan. If Emperor Changning stopped fighting Beiyuan, he could go back and continue to fight against Yunnan. The first time I encountered a battle in Sichuan, I will definitely continue to work on Tiangongyuan when I go back. It’s better not to be a Marquis—I don’t sell my life outside and don’t have a job for the elderly. If you still want a title, then refer to Deng Zhen’s status. .

You see, without the environment that needs to be protected, without the factors that threaten Xie Zhen's plan, Lan Wei's blood on the battlefield has strangely ceased to desire.

"By the way, you started suppressing the rebellion not long after you came, and now you have to go back as a teacher. Then what His Highness told you to do before you came to Sichuan has a clue so soon?"

Lan Wei glanced at Yao Chengsi, wondering if she was testing herself.

The author has something to say:

Additional historical background:

It is said that the 24 generals in Huaixi are all from the White Lotus sect, but among the 24 people who are more famous, only Xu Da, Tang He, and the two elder brothers of Concubine Guo Ning mentioned earlier.Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong did not belong to this camp.

Jiading Prefecture: Leshan, Sichuan

Zhongzhou: Zhongxian County, Chongqing

Fu Youde: Xu Shouhui’s old department, after entering Sichuan, Ming Yuzhen was not allowed to use it, so he ran to Chen Youliang’s place. Chen Youliang killed Xu Shouhui and broke up with Ming Yuzhen. After a rift with Chen Youliang, he ran away again and fought against his old club, so he is very familiar with the terrain of Sichuan .

General Zhengxi: Muying, in a nutshell, is the king of Yunnan.
