"No one can accurately predict the outcome of a battle, no matter how great his advantage is or how good his plan is."
Wang Yi looked at the sand table and recalled what Wang Juan had said and what Zhang Xiaobao had added. "Yes, because we can never calculate everything. Some things are due to environmental factors, while others are due to human factors.
Therefore, what we need to do is to think hard and persevere. Even if it's just one soldier, he has the chance to change the fate of the entire battlefield. Therefore, when you're on the battlefield, never give up, even if you're fighting alone. "
"Yes, I can. I'm not fighting alone. I have brothers. Call the team leader of the first team here." Wang Yi waved his fist and ordered the messenger.
Soon, thirteen people entered the room. They represented the thirteen team leaders of the sniper battalion. None of them had died, but their organization was not full. Some soldiers had died.
"Come here. Just now, we killed a few enemies. A few. I think they're the mobile radio team responsible for the transmission of information. Why are they here?"
Wang Yi pointed at the sand table and asked the thirteen people. Only two of the thirteen people had the surname Zhang and Wang. Like Wang Yi, they belonged to the inner courtyard of the Zhang and Wang families. They were all quite young.
They looked to be in their early twenties. There was a number "4" on the chest area of their clothes, which meant that they were students of the fourth batch of the family military school. Wang Yi's number was "2".
"I think that they're here, which is the place where the fire didn't burn, because their vanguard divided into two groups. One group went to Wukang, and the other group went to Fuyang. They needed to communicate with each other in between. At the same time, they were also responsible for the transmission of information to the troops that came from Hangzhou."
A young man with a baby face was the first to speak.
Wang Yi nodded approvingly and asked the young man, "Xiao Dong, how do you think the vanguard will divide into two groups? Where will the main force go? Where will the feint attack and control troops go? Why? "
The young man who was called Xiao Dong had a serious expression on his face. He furrowed his brows and put his hands together, circling his thumbs around each other.
After a long while, he replied, "Logically speaking, the main force should have taken the Fuyang route. Although there are hills in Fuyang and the road is not easy to walk on, it is much easier than the Wukang route. If they took the Wukang route, they would have passed through the Tianmu Mountain. If they continued to head west, besides Mount Huangshan, there was also Mount Jiuhua.
The main force will have more supplies and cannons, so it won't be suitable for them to travel too many mountain paths. However, the enemy's vanguard is Zhang Shougui, and his style is to take the enemy by surprise and scheme for his own success. Thus, I believe that the enemy's main force must be on the northern front, while the detour to the south is their main force. "
"Is there anyone who disagrees?" Wang Yi asked the other twelve people.
The twelve of them shook their heads in unison, and one of them stood out. "Even if we guessed wrong, we still have to guess according to this. We don't have much time to hesitate. General Wang, please make a decision. If you want to stand, then stand. If you don't, then be crippled."
Wang Yi nodded and said, "Okay, according to the judgment of the referee group, there are still 541 people in my camp. Each of you will lead 30 people and leave this place. Each of you will fight for yourself. I want you to try your best to find the enemy's radio team and destroy them."
None of the thirteen people said anything, agreeing with this idea. As for the remaining 151 people, they would naturally be led by Wang Yi.
"Since there are no objections, when we depart later, you can discuss among yourselves who will follow behind the enemy's main force, who will follow another route, or move in another direction. I want to lead people straight into Hangzhou Harbor.
I want you to stay calm no matter what difficulties you encounter. You can't rush into the enemy's gun muzzle when you find yourself surrounded. If there is a way out, take your people and run. Try your best to stay alive. "
Wang Yi lectured. Because he was a second-year student in the family, his status was higher than the others. The thirteen people listened carefully.
Xiao Dong stood out again. "General Wang, I understand. We are the elites of the family. We will never do anything stupid. We have already completed the mission of delaying the enemy, and we have also forced the enemy to divide their forces.
We must think that if we kill one, we will break even. If we kill two, we will make a profit. They are not elites. We have the ability to fight independently. Cuckoo and Xiao Bao are in the same camp. They have arranged 14 inner courtyard commanders, including you. They definitely don't want us to die so easily.
What we need to do is to fight a classic battle and let everyone know that the inner courtyard of the Sanshui Zhang Family and Wang Family has their own abilities to be proud. "
"Okay, dismissed. Fight for the dignity and glory of the main family." Wang Yi saluted.
"Fight for the dignity and glory of the main family." The thirteen people returned the salute in unison.
"Fight for the main family." A messenger also shouted.
"You are …?" Wang Yi turned his head and asked.
The messenger lifted his outer clothes, revealing the pattern on the chest of his inner clothes. It was a small rice seedling with two circles around it.
"I am from the outer courtyard, second class. I will soon become first class. I believe that I will definitely be able to enter the inner courtyard, although I know it will be difficult."
The messenger raised his head and puffed out his chest, speaking with a firm tone.
"I believe you can. Let's work hard together. Fight!" Wang Yi encouraged.
The thirteen of them dispersed. Immediately, another messenger from this room came to the center of the sand table and reported to the referee group that one of the messengers was actually with them. He even repeated the words of Wang Yi and the others without missing a single detail.
Li Longji hadn't had a good rest in the past few days. His work and rest schedule were irregular. When he heard the messenger report, he waved his hand and said, "I know. You did well."
"Your Majesty, do you want to change people?" Empress Wang asked after the messenger ran back.
"What people? Many of the messengers are from Xiao Bao's family. For example, the messengers in Xiao Bao and Cuckoo's room can't be found from other rooms.
Otherwise, if I go over, I will be really worried about whether or not someone wants to harm me. But did you see which messenger gave the two of them additional information? They still care about their reputation. What if they are caught cheating?
Those outstanding commanders are loyal to the main family. That's good. How can people who don't love their families be patriotic? If it weren't for the fact that I'm afraid of the generals objecting, I would have reformulated the rules so that the commanders of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family can also use guns and radios when they get their hands on them. After all, they know how to use them, and they are very proficient in them. "
Li Longji expressed his thoughts, which meant that he didn't care at all. He showed absolute trust and generosity.
Wu Huifei, who was beside him, opened her mouth but didn't say a word.
Empress Wang saw her action and asked, "Sister, what do you want to say?"
"I … I'm afraid that if my words are heard by others, they will misunderstand that I want to frame Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. It's better not to say it," Wu Huifei said very softly.
"It's okay. Sister, just say it. Xiao Bao and Cuckoo are no longer afraid of being framed." Empress Wang insisted.
Li Longji was also very curious and looked at Wu Huifei.
Seeing this, Wu Huifei could only nod. "Then I will say it. I remember that Lord Zhang said that because there were no soldiers in the capital, he used a method of recruiting soldiers. Then, he used the weak to fight against the strong. That was when Xiao Bao and Cuckoo were partly in favor of it, but there were also some who strongly opposed the recruitment of soldiers.
Now it seems that it was right. The soldiers will listen to whoever takes out the money to raise the soldiers. Therefore, the Tang Empire now has a compulsory military system. When the soldiers are given benefits, it is not because of their 'labor', but because of the extra rewards given to the soldiers.
In this case, the generals can't directly take out money to give the soldiers and let the soldiers know that they are only fighting for the Tang Empire, right? "
Hearing Wu Huifei's words, Li Longji understood. What Wu Huifei meant was that since Xiao Bao and Cuckoo knew about this, why didn't they mention the guards raised by the noble families?
Should they follow this idea and make the guards of the noble families in the Tang Empire the compulsory military system?
Empress Wang was relatively stupid, but she understood after thinking for a while. She said, "That won't do. Sister Huifei, you should know the power of the noble families in the Tang Empire. If His Majesty really wants to do something to them, he may force them to fight a civil war. Will your family support him?"
Empress Wang's last sentence was to ask Wu Huifei if her family could guarantee that they would support His Majesty when he took action. If Wu Huifei said yes, she would start with her family. If she said no, what was her intention?
Wu Huifei wasn't afraid. She continued, "My family probably can't support it. What I want to say is that many families don't have the same number of guards as the soldiers on their books. They should be investigated thoroughly. Start with my family. If there are any extra guards, they should be fired."
I'm not afraid that the noble families and noble families in the Tang Empire have private soldiers. No matter how powerful they are, can they beat Xiao Bao's protection team? Now that it is so convenient to send messages, they can't rebel even if they want to.
Unless it was Xiao Bao and Juan Juan who rebelled, no matter where it was, as soon as there was a sign, it would be extinguished by the two of them. I believe that it would be easy for them to take care of a family.
But as we all know, if they had this idea, they would have succeeded long ago. Therefore, what I want to say is that if there are more guards, there will be fewer farmers and workers. It's not good for the development of the Tang Empire. "
This time, Li Longji and Empress Wang nodded together.
Li Longji said, "It's true. Even if the guards are paid and can go out to buy things, when they do nothing at home, it's a waste. It's a waste that belongs to their family. If they go out to do something, it will be helpful to the investment and output of the Tang Empire."
Empress Wang said, "Yes, in the past, when the noble families raised soldiers, they would send them to fight when there was a war. But now, the Tang Empire doesn't need to do that. Their guards have no other purpose except to serve as ceremonial guards.
It's not like Xiao Bao and Cuckoo's guards. The people who want them dead are the rulers of the countries around the Tang Empire. Many people know that as long as the two of them die, the Tang Empire will be in chaos.
Because the Tang Empire is developing too fast, so fast that the officials in the court can't understand it, let alone control it. Only Xiao Bao can handle it with ease. Everything is under the control of him and Cuckoo. "
"In that case, I'll go and ask them." Li Longji felt that the problem was not easy to solve. He got up and walked to Wang Juan's room, followed by a group of people.
In Wang Juan's command center, Zhang Xiaobao was busy arranging the expansion of the family's business according to the sand table and map. Wang Juan curled up and slept on the bed. She was sleepy.
When Li Longji and the others came in, Zhang Xiaobao was still talking to himself, "My family should give up the farming industry in the various regions and give the locals a chance. The logistics of water transportation can't take up too much of a proportion. The best combination is the industry that provides technical guidance and consumes the local resources.
In the case of precision processing, we don't need to use the Chang Ping Position. The price of our precision processing industry fluctuates to achieve the goal of suppressing prices and balancing the profits of the people who provide the raw materials.
Then, the problem comes. Should I reduce the trade links and reduce the cost, or should I allow the trade industry to flourish, thus increasing the cost and giving some of the trade groups more profits?
If I were to reduce costs and reduce the number of links, would there be a situation where the traders would lose their jobs? If I allowed them to exist, would they continue to raise the price with the resource consumers after they gained control of the resources in the resource lands? Would they continue to exploit the local resource producers? Thus, obtaining more profits in the middle?
This matter is troublesome. I can't relax it, nor can I tighten it. Do I have to use the country's protection mechanism? Can't economic matters be economic matters? The hearts of the people in the world. "
When Li Longji and the others came in, they happened to hear Zhang Xiaobao's words.
Li Longji was immediately touched. Xiao Bao was such a good person. Look at Xiao Bao. Look at how difficult it was for him to develop his family's business. Not only did he have to consider how much money he could earn, but he also had to consider how much space he could leave for others to earn money. He even had to consider who was being squeezed when others were earning money.
Zu Zan was also moved, because he felt that Zhang Xiaobao didn't kill them all back then. He always left a chance for them to live. Otherwise, who knew what kind of impact Tufan would face.
Princess Jincheng whispered, "Just as the Yi hexagram shows, even if you seal the seven gates, only one gate will survive. Unless you don't know how to retreat and walk into a dead end, the heavens will be clear, and killing will not be satisfying."
When Zhang Xiaobao heard Princess Jincheng's movements, he turned his head and looked back. He smiled and said, "Do you all have nothing to do?"
"If there's nothing, I'll look for you. Unless I'm hungry and want you to make something to eat, I'll ask you a question, and you answer it properly." When Li Longji came, he was afraid that he would disturb the two of them arranging the battle. However, one of them was sleeping, and the other was thinking about his family's business. It wasn't that they had nothing to do, so he was relieved.
Zhang Xiaobao was very dissatisfied and said, "Be quiet, Cuckoo is asleep. If you have something to say, say it in the corner. Someone, arrange a place for us."
Everyone's footsteps woke Wang Juan up. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Foster Mother is here. Have you eaten dinner? Oh, His Majesty and Concubine Hui are here too. Princess, you all are here too. "
Empress Wang loved Wang Juan the most. She quickly walked over and covered her with a quilt. "Cuckoo, go to sleep. It's long past dinner time. It's already four o 'clock in the evening. You haven't eaten, right? What do you want to eat? Mother will get someone to make it for you. "
"It's ten o 'clock? I'm not sleeping. Xiao Bao, you're not sleeping yet? Did something happen at home again? Let's put it aside first. We'll talk about it after we win this battle. There's no hurry. Foster Mother, don't worry about me. I'm going to sleep. I'll just get up and arrange the defense of Mount Huangshan. I'll take a bath and eat something later. "
Wang Juan turned over and sat up. It was obvious that she was not in the right state. She greeted everyone and went out to take a bath.
Zhang Xiaobao also went out. They could take a bath together.
Li Longji was very depressed. He muttered, "What am I doing here? Waking them up to take a bath? It seems that I'm really idle. I'm meddling in more and more things. "
After a while, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came back. Zhang Xiaobao was holding dry tofu rolls with spring onions and bean rolls with chili sauce. He was eating happily. Wang Juan was holding a big jiamo with minced meat in one hand and a bowl of clear soup in the other.
Empress Wang pulled Wang Juan to sit beside her. She watched her adopted daughter eat little by little. She felt more comfortable than eating herself, even though she had her own son and daughter.
Li Longji was not so polite. He watched Zhang Xiaobao eat the last bit of bean rolls and asked, "Is it delicious?"
"It's okay. It's not delicious, but it's not bad either. It has its own flavor after being cooked and fried. It doesn't lose its original color even if it's coarse. When you're hungry, you can eat chaff. When you're full, you can eat honey but it's not sweet. I used to be afraid of starvation.
It has nothing to do with money, "Zhang Xiaobao took another sip of tea and said.
"I don't understand. I have money. I ordered a table of dishes. I spent money. I'm willing to throw them away. Why do you care?" Li Longji was very energetic.
Zhang Xiaobao put down the teacup. "I don't care. You can throw them away if you want, but don't talk business with me. Otherwise, I'll be very willing to refuse and attack your business.
You're wasting survival resources. If you buy 100 crystal cups and throw them on the ground, few people will say anything about it. If you order a table of dishes and you know you can't finish them, you'd rather throw them away. Naturally, there will be hungry people who will rebel. Do you expect people who don't have food to reason with you?
There are different kinds of wastage. The people who really waste food are poor, at least in terms of cultivation realm. The really rich people demand quality of food, not quantity. If you order a table of shark's fins, all kinds of shark's fins, and release them to attract flies, that's because you have the ability. If you order 20,000 pounds of steamed buns and throw them to the ground, the people who rebel because of hunger will want to kill you first.
Your Majesty, you came here to talk to me about the problem of food? Then I'll have to tell you why I'm eating dried tofu. It's because this thing has a lot of protein in it. After I eat it … "
"Xiao Bao, I know. What you said is very reasonable. I will never buy 20,000 pounds of steamed buns and throw them to the ground. What I want to ask you is how to get the guards of the various families and rich people to form a labor force in production."
Li Longji was really afraid that Xiao Bao would talk to him about food. He knew that the food of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family was indeed good, but most of it was eaten. They didn't take out millions of strings of cash to buy food and throw it to the ground.
Money wasn't used that way. In Xiao Bao's words, it was a lack of responsibility to society and wasting food. It was an inferiority complex that poor people showed when they were moving towards the stage of becoming rich.
Xiao Bao said that if you have money, you can buy jade and throw it for fun. Like his sister, you can throw big pearls on the marble floor. They look good when they bounce, and roast duck with agarwood.
Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't want to talk about food anymore? My family just sent a few abalones. Cuckoo and I bought them when we were young. They've been there for many years. After they're done, they're worth nine taels a head. They'll definitely weigh more than one pound. "
Li Longji swallowed a few times and glared fiercely at Zhang Xiaobao. "Xiao ~ Bao! What I'm asking is how to solve the problem of the wasted labor force. "
"Oh, I see. Okay, Your Majesty. To be honest, labor force isn't wasted, and social resources aren't wasted. This is a process of increasing resources and subsidies. You want to suppress this process and then generate more social taxes, right? That's easy. "
Zhang Xiaobao had already understood what was going on. Li Longji's question was so classic that even Wang Juan, who was eating a jiamo, had several ideas to deal with it.
