Julian Zhou said to Emperor Chongzhen with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, the Jianlu troops in Changping are equal to ours, while the Jianlu troops in Xuanfu are less than half of ours. Therefore, I think we should be cautious in the battle of Changping!"
At this point, he was afraid that others might misunderstand him, so he quickly added: "As for the Battle of Xuanfu, if Your Majesty had not captured the chieftain alive in a duel, which in turn caused chaos in the Jianlu army, the Jianlu army's deployment of troops and their sophisticated equipment, especially the high proportion of firearms, including the general cannon, the Portuguese sub-cannon, the tiger squat cannon, various bird guns, and the three-eyed gun, etc., would have caused heavy casualties in a head-on battle."
After hearing this, several other generals who were dissatisfied just now stopped talking.
It's not that they can't see it, but they are happy about this rare Victor Wangy. Now that Julian Zhou has made it so clear, if they still refuse to admit it, then they are not worthy of being the commander of a region.
The hall was quiet because of Julian Zhou's cold water, but Julian Zhou himself said: "But our army's ability to surprise the enemy is indeed an advantage. Perhaps we can drive those captives to the Jianlu's firearms camp, which can reduce our casualties and shock the Jianlu, causing chaos in the Jianlu army and increasing our chances of winning!"
