Everyone looked at Sun Chuanting. Although their expressions were different, their meanings were roughly the same. They all admired Sun Chuanting.
After all, in their view, this was largely a suicide mission. But more than that, they were pessimistic about this trip, or even worried.
Yuan Keli looked at Sun Chuanting steadily.
Along the way, Yuan Keli certainly had an understanding of Sun Chuanting's talents, and he did not believe that Sun Chuanting was a foolish person who would go to his death.
Yuan Keli asked, "Are you sure?"
Nodding gently, Sun Chuanting said directly, "The rebels may seem powerful, but in reality they are just a mob. The reason they are able to stir up trouble in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou is simply because there are fewer people here. They rely on their familiarity with the terrain and the cooperation of the locals. It's actually not too difficult to pacify them."
Seeing Sun Chuanting's confident look, Yuan Keli nodded and said, "Let's do it this way."
After saying this, Yuan Keli turned to look at Li Biao and said, "Gather the army and go to Zunyi."
Whether it is to lure An Bangyan or to open up a passage into Sichuan, Zunyi must be taken.
After receiving Yuan Keli's order, Li Biao no longer hesitated.
Although Li Biao still had some ideas and did not quite believe in Sun Chuanting's judgment, orders were orders, and Yuan Keli was the Governor-General of the Southwest, so he had to obey.
The army set out directly.
Sun Chuanting led Qi Yuangong's 5,000 men and lined up alone on one side.
As they walked, Sun Chuanting looked at Qi Yuangong. He was very curious about Qi Jin's son and wanted to talk to him.
It’s just that Qi Yuangong is a taciturn person and didn’t talk much along the way.
After a moment's thought, Sun Chuanting asked for conversation, "General Qi, I heard that the training methods of the Beijing Camp are based on the military tactics of Qi Shaobao back then. Is that true?"
Qi Yuangong glanced at Sun Chuanting. He had a good impression of this Minister Sun.
Few civil servants understood military affairs as well as Sun Shilang, and few could ride and shoot arrows as well as he did. Sun Shilang could even wield a sword, showing a strong character and not fearing death in battle.
However, Qi Yuangong himself was not good at dealing with people, and compared with his brothers, Qi Yuanfu was much worse at speaking. So the last time he had the opportunity to go to His Majesty to serve as the commander of the Qianniu Guard, it was Qi Yuanfu, not him.
If we just talk about the weapons themselves, Qi Yuangong is stronger than Qi Yuanfu.
Hearing Sun Chuanting's question, Qi Yuangong also felt like chatting, so he smiled naively and said, "Not all of them are the same. My father told me that this time the Beijing garrison's training is largely to accommodate the new firearms."
"Are those the ones they are carrying?" Sun Chuanting glanced at the people behind him and asked curiously again.
Qi Yuangong nodded and said with a hint of pride, "These are the latest products developed and produced by the Baigong Academy. The quality is very good and the power is much greater than before, so many tactics need to be changed."
"My father once said, 'There's no constant state of warfare, just as there's no constant shape of water.' On the one hand, this refers to the art of employing troops, and on the other hand, it refers to the art of training them. Fighting in different places, facing different opponents, and depending on one's own strengths, one must modify one's training methods."
"Of course, this is a technique. The essence of military regulations cannot be changed. That is the Tao."
After taking a look at Qi Yuangong, Sun Chuanting nodded in agreement.
He felt that what Qi Jin said made sense, and that he was worthy of being a famous general, who was able to ensure that the Qi family army had successors after Qi Shaobao passed away.
Sun Chuanting and Qi Yuangong chatted casually as they walked.
Although it was just a casual chat, Sun Chuanting was actually trying to understand the army he led. He wanted to use this method to get Qi Yuangong to tell him some things so that he could have a clearer idea of the situation.
Qi Yuangong did not hide anything and told Sun Chuanting everything he knew.
The two of them chatted quite harmoniously for a while.
The more they talked, the more confident Sun Chuanting became about the upcoming surprise attack on Chongqing. He felt that with these five thousand men, they would be invincible once they entered Sichuan. All the talk of She Chongming and rebellion was just a bunch of rubbish.
Sun Chuanting looked at the five thousand men with a burning gaze. These were all treasures! Who knew how many more there were in the capital?
After returning to the capital, can I also get such a team? At least send these people to Liaodong to give it a try!
Sun Chuanting had been brooding over the Battle of Sarhu a few years earlier, waiting for an opportunity to avenge his previous defeat. Even for many Ming Dynasty officials and generals, it was a disgrace.
The group soon arrived at the city of Zunyi.
The army is here to support us.
Sun Chuanting was in the front, and he brought Qi Yuangong to Yuan Keli's side.
Yuan Keli glanced at the Zunyi City in front of him and said in a steady voice, "Are you willing to give it a try?"
Although he said this and it seemed like he was asking for opinions, he actually just wanted Qi Yuangong and the others to give it a try.
This unit belongs to the emperor and was sent by His Majesty himself. Although it is well-equipped and has high-quality personnel, Yuan Keli really does not know its true combat effectiveness.
Under such circumstances, these troops had to be sent out to launch a surprise attack on Chongqing.
Before, both Sun Chuanting and Qi Yuangong looked very confident.
Although Yuan Keli agreed and hoped that they could do a good job, he was still a little hesitant in his heart.
Then let them try to take Zunyi City. If they can take it, that would be the best.
