Chapter 131: Not pleasing inside and out
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, this sentence has been regarded as a classic by countless people, and human beings are both united and excluded.
More than 100,000 Ming troops gathered outside Beijing, but there was such a group of people who did not fit in. They are dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, and the guys in their hands are also varied. There are hoes, there are sickles, if they are placed elsewhere, there will be no one who does not believe that they are not peasants, this is the army brought by Lu Xiangsheng and Zhu Tinghuan.
After receiving the edict issued by Zhu Youxiao to enter the capital to rescue the king, Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly rushed to the capital with his subordinates. The capital is coming, but the death is still to come.
The army of King Qinqin in Beijing was complex, including the Liaodong Border Army, the Xuanda Border Army, and the troops transferred from other places. Although it is a bit complicated, all these horses are approved by the imperial court, and they are all regular troops with salaries. Although Lu Xiangsheng is also an official of the Ming Dynasty, the people he recruited are, to put it bluntly, just a civilian self-defense organization.
In particular, although there are more than 10,000 people, they are all ordinary people who have just put down their hoes. If you let these people go to the battlefield immediately, I don't know whether to help Houjin fight Houjin or help Houjin fight himself.
The ancient armies fought wars not as shown on TV, slashing and slashing one by one. What class is in front? What kind of army is used in the back? These are things that take a long time to run-in. Even now, it's about combat units. If you let a group of untrained ordinary people go to the battlefield, not only will it not help, but it will also easily disrupt your formation and cause flaws.
How to arrange these 10,000 horses naturally fell on Sun Chengzong and Guo Yunhou, and it was definitely not possible to go to the battlefield to fight. But if you want them to disband and go home on the spot, it will not work, after all, people rush to the capital to enter the king of Jingqin, you have no reason, just let the family dissolve on the spot, it is easy to hurt people's hearts.
Dele can only do this, and Sun Chengzong can only arrange it directly in the rear army in the end. Although the combat effectiveness is not good, at least it seems that there are a large number of people, and it can also coax the opposite Houjin. Although Lu Xiangsheng wanted to say something, he also knew that the people he brought might not even be as good as the landlord's nursing home.
As the so-called special case, Sun Chengzong went to the Ministry of War again and counted the people brought by Lu Xiangsheng to the Ministry of War. After all, it was the king of Qin who entered Beijing, and the grain ring must be sent.
It doesn't matter if the country is rich, and there is no big loss in raising 10,000 idlers, but now in the Ming Dynasty, it is a deficit every year, and even the grain can't be taken out.
Although the men and horses led by Lu Xiangsheng were treated the worst in the entire army, there were still some generals in the army who thought that they had 10,000 waste, and it was better to take out those grains and distribute them to other team headquarters. Regarding this matter, Sun Chengzong also put his heart into these generals many times, and as everyone no longer mentioned this matter on the surface. But secretly, he kept hinting at his subordinates and went to Lu Xiangsheng's military camp to provoke.
Lu Xiangsheng, who had been promoted to the chief soldier of the Daimyo Mansion, sat next to the bookcase and quietly looked at a military book, which was not passed down by his predecessors, but Sun Chengzong's experience in leading soldiers over the years. As for why Sun Chengzong was so frightened and determined, he actually passed on his experience of leading troops to Lu Xiangsheng over the years, it was also with a trace of caution.
Originally, according to Cui Chengxiu's meaning, Lu Xiangsheng himself was the county commander of the Daimyo's Mansion and was a civil official, so it was better to seal a small garrison post first, and then order the troops to be disbanded on the spot after the siege of the capital was lifted, and then return to the Daming Mansion as his own county commander.
However, when Sun Chengzong saw that Lu Xiangsheng was powerful, a trace of cultivation also rose in his heart.
Although there are indeed a lot of generals in the Ming Dynasty, and there are many who can fight and fight, since the battle of Salhu, the generals of the Ming Dynasty have a trace of fear in their hearts to fight in the field with Houjin. Sun Chengzong also wanted to use the idea that the born calf was not afraid of tigers this time, and wanted to train Lu Xiangsheng into a general who dared to fight with Houjin Ye.
"My lord, Lord Sun has already transported the grain, grass and military salaries, do you want to read the bill first."
Zhu Tinghuan held a thick account book in his arms and saluted. As Lu Xiangsheng's deputy, he naturally rose and was divided into deputy commanders.
"Okay, Brother Bai, I'm still relieved that you can do things, and the account book will be put here first."
Lu Xiangsheng put down the military book in his hand, and seemed to be a little unfinished.
"By the way, didn't Lord Sun say that he would send some officers to us to help us train our soldiers? Are they coming". Dancing Chinese
Until Lu Xiangsheng's subordinates, all of them were ordinary people, and Sun Chengzong specially dispatched hundreds of sergeants from the battle-hardened Liaodong Army led by him to help train.
Hearing Lu Xiangsheng's inquiry, Zhu Tinghuan's face was suddenly a little dissatisfied, of course, he was not dissatisfied with Lu Xiangsheng, and said with a temper.
"It's coming, it's coming, but 40 people came in three days."
Zhu Tinghuan is also a businessman's family, and his family also has a slight asset, and he is also well-known in the Daimyo's Mansion. Since he came to the capital, even ordinary soldiers dared to mock themselves. Where can Zhu Tinghuan stand it, after all, people will be dissatisfied.
Lu Xiangsheng sighed softly, the experience of these days is naturally in his eyes and in his heart. It's just that I can't blame others for this matter, who makes the people he brings are indeed inferior to those soldiers who are used to eating military salaries. can only open his mouth to persuade the Tao, and at the same time, he is also persuading himself.
"Brother Bai, those who achieve great things are not informal. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty who created the Great Han River and Mountain for more than 400 years, was just a small pavilion chief before he fell down, and even worked as a bandit and thief for a few days.
"Brother Jiandou, I understand what you said, and I have read the sage book for a few days, but I really can't swallow this bad breath."
Zhu Tinghuan swung his fist fiercely and slapped the air in front of him, as if there were those who were mocking him standing in front of him.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but be a little puzzled, stood up and walked towards the outside of the account, Zhu Tinghuan saw that this was also followed closely.
Just a few steps away, a man dressed in ordinary people's clothes hurriedly ran in front of Lu Xiangsheng.
"The prefectural commander is not good, our people are fighting with those fallen soldiers."
Since these ordinary people were all recruited from the Daimyo Mansion, it was natural that they habitually called Lu Xiang's previous official position.
He was also very pleased with Lu Xiangsheng, and he didn't feel that the official position of the chief soldier was much greater than that of the county commander.
"Tell me what caused the fight."
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the dense crowd outside his line of sight, and seemed to be able to hear some shouts from it.
"Originally, we stood outside according to their requirements, saying that we were practicing discipline, shouting, calling what order and what to do, we were also listening to their arrangement, but who expected them to sit on the side and chat loudly and scold us for being waste, and some brothers were angry but quarreled with them, and when it was over, they started fighting."
The man touched his head and didn't seem to understand what the group of soldiers were doing, so he naturally stammered a little. At the same time, he also showed an unhappy expression, as if it wasn't for the fact that he was going to report the news, he would definitely have to go up and hit twice.
Isn't it just war according to his idea? It should be the same as when he fought with others before, except that he didn't dare to hurt his life in the previous war, and how he hurt his life this time.
Lu Xiangsheng and Zhu Tinghuan glanced at each other, secretly saying that the big thing was not good. Running quickly into the crowd, a dozen or so people standing on the sidelines shouting loudly.
Ask for support, ask for collections, ask for recommendations.
