Chapter 28 The Fourteenth Tactic

Those who are useful should not be borrowed, and those who cannot be used should be borrowed.Use what you can't use, the bandit begs Tong Meng, and Tong Meng begs me. Those who have achievements are difficult to control and control, and cannot be used. Those who have no actions often have to rely on others to establish themselves. This will come to me for help, use what has no actions and control it along the way. This is not because I am dominated by others , but I dominate others. In history, whenever there was a change of dynasties, it was customary to set up the descendants of the ancestors, leave the orphans as kings, and order the world in the name of orthodoxy. However, the descendants of these ancestors are often weak, and there is no strategy for governing the country, let alone With no experience in governing the country, Zheng Zhuanggong pretended to ask the king to attack the Song Dynasty; Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes;The reason why they are able to achieve their goals in the DMZ is precisely because they have borrowed and controlled some things that have "no action".

The original meaning of resurrecting the dead is to make the dead appear in another form.When used as a strategy, its essence is to use ineffectiveness or inability to make a difference to control it. It is not possible to use tactics for those that are difficult to control. Borrowing a corpse to revive the soul, the object of "borrowing" is uncertain.However, the "false way to attack Guo" is not certain. Many famous politicians and military strategists in history have successfully used the strategy of resurrecting the soul by borrowing corpses, and achieved unexpected results.During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang cleverly used the east wind to defeat Cao's soldiers, and straw boats borrowed arrows to save the predicament, etc., which are still popular today.

Anyone who has read Mao Zedong's poems will remember that heroic and witty line: "Wan Mushuang is red in the sky, and the heavenly soldiers are angry. The fog is full of dragons and winds, and the mountains are dark. They call out in unison, and Zhang Huizan is caught in front." This fraudulent poem describes It is the story of the first anti-encirclement and suppression victory of the 1st Front Army of the Red Army of Chinese Workers and Peasants. According to the policy formulated by Mao Zedong, the 1st Red Army won two victories within 5 days and wiped out 13,000 enemies.Achieved the first anti-encirclement and suppression victory. In this battle, Mao Zedong adopted a series of wonderful tactics, among which, using fog to defeat the enemy is an example.

In November and December, Ji'an, Ningdu, Donggu and other places where the Central Red Army is located are experiencing foggy weather.At the beginning, the 40,000 troops on the 1st side set up an ambush north of Xiaobu in Ningdu County, and failed to lure the 50th division of the enemy Tan Daoyuan into the "pocket". The base area was approaching, so Mao Zedong and Zhu De decided to attack Zhang Huizan.The enemy's 18th Division led by Zhang Huizan had sufficient troops, excellent equipment, and strong combat effectiveness. A beautiful battle, asking for credit and rewards from Chiang Kai-shek, and being promoted to rank. When Zhang Huizhan led his troops to our Donggu base area, due to our army’s voluntary withdrawal, the enemy Bingpan’s division had already arrived early. In the early morning of this day, it was encountering heavy fog. Zhang Huizhan mistakenly believed that Master Gong Bingpan was attacking the Red Army. He thought to himself that it was time to grab the lead, and hurriedly issued an attack order: "Brothers, charge me and take Donggu. The officers are 20 yuan per person, and the soldiers are 10 yuan per person." Dayang." Zhang Huizan ordered that more than 10,000 people with light and heavy weapons opened fire on Gong Bingpan's army at the same time. Gong Bingpan saw that something was wrong, thinking that the Red Army was coming back through the fog, and hurriedly ordered the troops to resist tenaciously.While reporting to Chiang Kai-shek to ask for reinforcements, he ordered the troops to "hold on, hold on to me, and hold on until noon when Commander Zhang (Zhang Huichan)'s reinforcements will arrive." The fierce battle lasted for more than 4 hours, and each had casualties until the fog at noon After they dispersed, the two sides discovered that it was the flood that washed into the Dragon King Temple, and their own family did it.Gong Bingpan was beaten up by his own family, and he was so angry that he scolded Zhang Huizan: "You are crazy for grabbing the head. I occupied Donggu without being shot by the Red Army, but I told you to bite me!" Take a big bite. What the fuck commander, I quit!" In a fit of anger, Gong Bingpan led his troops back to "rest and reorganize", leaving only Zhang Huizan's army to go deep and continue to rush forward in the direction of Longgang. Knowing this situation, Mao Zedong and Zhu De were very happy and decided to use the fog to wipe out Zhang Huizan's troops. At dawn on December 30, the fog was hazy and shrouded the mountains. Covered by the thick fog, an "urn"-shaped ambush circle was formed in Longgang without anyone noticing.Mao Zedong stood in the command post at an altitude of more than 400 meters, overlooking the clouds and mountains. He couldn't help being poetic. He said to Zhu De: "Commander-in-chief, look, God helped me. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang used the east wind to defeat Cao's soldiers. Today, we will Use the morning mist to wipe out the stubborn enemy!" After speaking, both of them let out hearty laughter.As expected, the arrogant Zhang Huizhan did not learn the lesson of his own mistaken attack in the thick fog. He braved the thick fog and led more than 9,000 main forces of his troops to get into the "pocket" of the Red Army. The rate of 9,000 troops was either killed or wounded or captured. None of them slipped through the net. They won the first battle. The Red Army took advantage of the victory to pursue Tan Daoyuan. Lao Wo, when excited, Mao Zedong wrote the poem "Called in unison, Zhang Huizan was caught in front".

During the Second World War, the Dutch people under the rule of fascist Germany were unwilling to endure the oppression of the invaders, and they rose up to resist one after another. In the north of the Netherlands, an influential secret resistance organization appeared, which dealt a great blow to the German army. People only know that The leadership of this organization is led by a British Royal pilot named "Johnny Spitfall", and there is such a leader who was wounded in the battle with the Luftwaffe. This organization is very appealing.His heroic deeds are being sung everywhere, but no one has seen this hero. All his orders and plans were communicated by a pair of siblings named Annie, and no one has seen this hero until after the war. A legendary hero, why is this hero always reluctant to be met?After the war, the Allied forces found out the truth of the matter after repeated investigations.

This is a true resurrection story. Several relatives of Anne's siblings were killed by the German army, and the siblings were determined to avenge them.They asked many times to join the resistance organization at that time, but because they were young, they were not accepted. The siblings were not reconciled and were always looking for some chance of revenge. One night, they were about to go out when suddenly, the younger brother tripped over something After a while, the siblings looked down and saw a pilot in the uniform of the British Royal Air Force lying at the door of the house covered in blood. The siblings hurriedly carried the pilot home, took care of it carefully, and secretly asked a doctor to treat the pilot. The pilot has been in a coma for several days. Due to excessive blood loss, he finally passed away. The siblings were very sad. In order to facilitate the burial, they changed the pilot's uniform and put on a set of local clothes. The younger brother tidied up the pilot He said regretfully: "It would be great if the pilot uncle could be saved, so that he can introduce us to join the resistance organization." After all, my sister is older. When she heard her brother say this, she immediately thought of the pilot. Although he passed away, people have not seen him. Why not use the name of a pilot to form a resistance organization to wipe out the fascists?With a certain idea, they immediately collected the pilot's ID card and belongings, secretly buried the pilot's body, and at the same time contacted the resistance fighters in the name of "Royal Air Force pilot Johnny Spitfire". Seriously injured pilots of the British Royal Air Force joined this organization one after another. For a time, the order of "Johnny" spread throughout the northern Netherlands through the siblings. hit.

The war is coming to an end, and the siblings know that someone will come to look for the "pilot" once they are liberated.In order not to expose their secrets, the siblings claimed that the hero pilot died in an accident.In this way, the legendary hero also disappeared. Sure enough, after the Allies liberated the Netherlands, they began to search for this "hero" immediately. The two brothers and sisters presented the pilot's certificate and related relics, but the autopsy results did not match the time of "death in an accident" said by the brothers and sisters. None of the people had seen the pilot with their own eyes, and they could not provide other supporting materials. The relevant investigators of the Allied Forces felt strange. Underage siblings, for which they were rewarded by the Allies.

The Anne sisters used the name of the dead pilot to organize a resistance organization and encourage people to fight against fascism, which is the successful use of the strategy of resurrecting the dead. Resurrection is also often used in business by thoughtful businessmen.In the 20 years after the Korean War, South Korea's industry developed rapidly, but the shipbuilding industry has always been relatively backward. A rich man named Zheng Zhouyong saw the shipbuilding industry, so he invested a huge amount of money in 1970 to build a shipyard. After making a fortune, his goal is to build a 100-ton large oil tanker.Although he himself knows nothing about shipbuilding, he is full of confidence. At the press conference, he said: "Shipbuilding is the same as building a power plant. You always have to go from being unfamiliar to being familiar with it. There is nothing special about it."

He raised a large sum of money with loans, and just waited for customers to come and order loans.But after waiting for a long time, no foreign businessman came to order a loan. What is the reason?He said to his salesman: "You go to various parts of the world to investigate and find out the reasons for me, and report back in 10 days." After 10 days, most of the people who came back said: "Foreign businessmen don't believe in our shipbuilding capabilities. I have never heard that South Korea can build a million oil tankers." Zheng Zhouyong was anxious when he heard this, what should we do?With such a large loan, if you don't come to order the loan, just waste it like this, don't you want to lose a lot of money!He thought hard, but there was no good way.Zheng Zhouyong has a habit of collecting old banknotes, and often digs out old coins to appreciate.One day, when Quanzheng was looking through a large pile of yellowed old banknotes in every possible way, his eyes suddenly lit up.It turned out that he found an old banknote with a denomination of 500 yuan, which was printed with the turtle ship invented by the Korean national hero Yi Sun-shin in the 15th century. Its shape was very similar to a modern oil tanker. Pointing to this old note, he said to his subordinates: "Foreign businessmen don't believe that we can build big ships. Look, can this turtle ship look like an oil tanker? Our ancestors could build a ship 400 years ago. Why don't you believe that I, Zheng Zhouyong, can build it!" His subordinates said, "It's a turtle ship, just an ancient troop carrier, and it can't be compared with modern large oil tankers." "I don't know this truth yet? It is no longer a god to build a modern large oil tanker. But we have to rely on the blessings of our ancestors to let foreign businessmen know that we can build a large oil tanker today." Before his subordinates understood, he continued to order: "Order it for me immediately. Air ticket, I want to go out and book a loan.” So, Zheng Zhouyong cherished that yellowed old banknote and went to lobby everywhere, claiming that North Korea’s shipbuilding ability is unquestionable, and that it was able to build large ships 400 years ago, and their national heroes still use this kind of The big ship had defeated the Japanese and so on. After his lobbying, the foreign businessmen really believed it. He quickly got two orders for 260,000-ton oil tankers.

As soon as the order was received, he immediately organized his employees to work hard day and night, and the loan was paid on schedule in two years.At the same time his great shipyard was completed. Zheng Zhouyong borrowed an old banknote to sell his shipbuilding business.
