260 Harassment (Part I)
Everyone saw that Liu Qiao was going to ask for food to make amends, and knew that he was also sincere, and they all looked at Gao Di to see what he said, and when Gao Di wanted to say something, he suddenly saw a group of soldiers riding horses and running down the mountain, and the leading officer dismounted and asked the people who had stayed at the bottom of the mountain earlier, and then hurriedly ran up the hillside, ran to everyone and reported: "Report to your lords, the people who were training at Zhang Jing'an's Zhang General Soldier encountered rebels when they went out for training, and now the battle has ended, and there are casualties on both sides, and the general soldiers from all walks of life ask you to go back to the city to discuss the military situation."
Gao Di and others knew that Liu Qiao and the people from Chishu Company would go to Sichuan together the next day to check, and finally pass through Shaanxi to Henan and then return to Beijing, so they asked Liu Qiao and others to greet the emperor after returning to Beijing, and asked the emperor and the ministers of the court to rest assured that they would follow the instructions to quell the rebellion and rectify the army, and form a Mu out that could be carried out everywhere as soon as possible. For the latest free chapter of this book, please visit β‘ Qiao, Xiao Huang Xiaobai and others also bid farewell to Gao Di, Zhu Xieyuan, Cai Fuyi and others in advance, and wished the Guizhou army a smooth counterinsurgency, and then greeted each other and said goodbye.
When Gao Di and the others returned to the camp, they saw several general soldiers walking around outside the tent, and Gao Di asked everyone to sit down in the tent and talk slowly. After listening to the report of the military intelligence officer for a while, I realized that it was not an ambush, but an encounter β that everyone did not know about each other, and there were 20,000 people assigned to Zhang Jing'an, and the original camp could not live, so some people had to be placed in the previous military camp, which made the training unit divided into several places.
The previous groups have been introduced before, only this front harassment is newly added, which can be regarded as a way to train with battle. The four groups of people are not fixed but come in turns, after half a month of guarding in the city, patrolling outside the city for half a month, and then training in the camp for half a month, followed by a front harassment for half a month, "The three groups have Zhang Jing'an's original people with one-on-one teaching, from standing posture to eyes, from lifting legs to raising guns, they are meticulous and hand-in-hand, so that the people who were still a little unconvinced at the beginning slowly began to admire them, because the people who came in for training themselves slowly felt that they had become stronger after systematic training, and the officers also felt that the soldiers had become obedient to the command.
However, the group of former harassment is different from other groups, this group has no one-on-one area, and all rely on the original experience to do it. Fortunately, the people who came out to harass this group set off on the basis of the various military station forts, and the military station fortresses were built along the river, mainly built in the ferries, passes, forks and other key positions, so that the repair is convenient for holding the key roads, and the second is convenient for free advance and retreat, and the third reason is that in the future, there will be no peace and no war, and these military stations and fortresses can also be transformed into the center of small towns. Forts built on the middle of the hill or even on the top of the hill may be useful in wartime, but in peacetime they become a refuge for lonely ghosts or fox rabbit thieves.
On this morning, 5,000 people divided into 10 teams set out from different places into the mountains, and one of the teams entered a fork in the road and found that the road had not been walked for a long time, and the road had long been obscured by the wild grass and the mud and gravel that had rushed from the rainy days. As soon as I turned a mountain pass, I saw another group of people doing the same thing with a wooden stick in one hand and a knife and gun in the other, and the other party did not expect that the two sides could meet in this situation, and they were stunned for a while, and then suddenly shouted and threw the wooden stick in their hands at each other.
Just like the officers and soldiers are wearing armor, many people on the other side are also wearing leggings and armor, and some are also wrapped in turbans, which look like local Miao or Yi people. Originally, they could have thought that they were ordinary people, but their fierce expressions and sharp blades in their hands all showed that these people were not vegetarians, and the two sides understood in a blink of an eye that today's conflict was irreconcilable and inevitable, and immediately took the lead and threw the useless wooden sticks over, and then picked up useful knives and guns and stood them in front of them while roaring and preparing to slash and kill, just like the behavior of lions, tigers and other wild beasts before eating people.
Fortunately, there is still a difference between people and beasts, after a brief roar in primitive instinct, everyone came back to their senses, and after the other party looked at the form, some people either hid behind the rocks or climbed on the rock wall, and the stones, spears, axes and other things in their hands were smashed towards the Ming army like raindrops. The Ming army was at a disadvantage due to the topography, and there was no enemy who was flexible and there were casualties immediately under the other party's greeting, but fortunately, these people were veterans of a hundred battles and had just been selected, and they had experience and ability, and they also had a sense of honor and pride that had not faded after selection.
After resisting the first wave of attacks, the Ming army did not retreat, the musketeers behind immediately arrived under the cover of the shield hand, and the enemy immediately fell after a row of guns, and the leader of the other side saw that the situation was not good, and took advantage of the Ming army to flee during the gunpowder period, and the Ming army found that the enemy had fled far away after the smoke dissipated. Seeing that the enemy was climbing rocks and climbing trees like walking on the ground, the Ming army also secretly admired that there was no intention of chasing, but fortunately, two wounded rebels were found when cleaning up the dead bodies, everyone was vigilant and returned to the military station under alternate cover, and returned to Guiyang after simply bandaging the wounded.
After listening to the report, Gao Di asked everyone what to do, the tradition of the Ming Dynasty is that fighting a war is the business of military generals, but it is a civilian official's business to make ideas or take ideas, several general soldiers are drinking tea expressionlessly like guests, and even Zhang Jing'an is also very leisurely looking at the patterns on the tea bowl in front of him thoughtfully, which makes people wonder if he has entered a state of Zen enlightenment. Zhu Xieyuan first said: "This is a good thing, it shows that the enemy is still thinking and moving, judging from its combat effectiveness, it is not an ordinary person, it should be the main force of An Bangyan and Hao Chongming, if we don't have muskets, maybe we will suffer a big loss, first interrogate those two prisoners and ask them where they are from what they are going to do." β
Zhang Jing'an said: "One of the two captives was seriously injured and died on the way, and the other was not seriously injured, but he was very tough and did not say a word, and it was not easy to fight to death, so he had to be locked in prison first and wait for the opportunity to be tortured slowly." I heard that Jin Yiwei has a lot of means in this regard, and Lord Liu Qiao and Liu have been the commander in charge of the edict, do you ask him to help interrogate it? β
Cai Fuyi said unhappily: "Lord Liu is going to escort the people of Chishu Company to Sichuan tomorrow, and now he is packing his things and preparing to go on the road, he can't remember well, if we forget something because we are looking for him, it will be bad for us to blame at that time." Besides, if you can't do such a simple thing as a personal trial, you have to invite Jinyiwei to come, and it will make people laugh at us when it comes to Beijing, we have no means, and we can only tell the truth if we beat them hard, as long as we pay attention not to beat them to death, and beat them violently every day, it should be an additional training subject, to see how long he can grit his teeth and last. β
After listening to Cai Fuyi's words, several general soldiers looked at each other, and said in their hearts, this literati launched a ruthless attack to be more ruthless than the martial arts, we will fight a few times at most, and if we can't see it, we will cut it with a knife, he actually wants to beat violently every day, and it will be regarded as an additional training subject, in case this person dies, the soldiers will have to complete the training of this subject, and they will have to continue to catch prisoners to fight every day?
Gao Di coughed lightly at this time and said: "We still have to take virtue and convince people to attack their hearts, why doesn't the imperial court let us kill people on a large scale and slowly press forward step by step?" Isn't it so that our soldiers and the Miao and Yi people who were deceived and deceived by the rebels can suffer fewer casualties? Everyone still has to understand the emperor's will. It is said that Zhuge Liang in order to make the Miao people return to their hearts, and it is said that Zhuge Liang has captured and captured seven verticals to his leader Meng in order to return to the hearts of the Miao people, and many people in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places have worn filial piety for him after his death, which has continued to this day, which shows the effect of convincing people with virtue to attack his heart. β
Everyone thought deeply after listening to Gao Di's words, and even Cai Fuyi nodded lightly in agreement, but Gao Di said: "Of course, when interrogating a prisoner, he should still be beaten, if he is not beaten, he will not be influenced by just entertaining him with big fish and meat, and how the people who should be beaten and then pulled him over to surrender to Cheng live, there is a comparison to feel the gap, and he will know that the court treats the people much better than An Bangyan and Yu Chongming." β
It turns out that the literati have the same things in their bones, but they can talk about violent methods such as beating people in a high-sounding way, and everyone has to say: "My lord is wise." β
Cai Fuyi said at this time: "Actually, you don't need to focus on the captive, what if he lies and deceives us?" You still have to rely on your own analysis to judge. At the beginning, Master Zhu said that the enemy's combat effectiveness is not weak, and it should be the main force of bandits under An Bangyan and Luxury Chongming, I agree with this, the enemy claims to have 100,000 people, and there are hundreds of thousands of Miao and Yi people around who are bewitched by it, if they want to make a desperate bet in a certain place, its destructive power is quite amazing. We should send more such squads to reconnoitre, which is not only a training force for forward harassment but also a timely detection of the enemy's movements. β
Zhu Xieyuan said: "I agree with Lord Cai's words, this time the Ming army encountered the enemy in a hurry, there was no rout, and there was no lone army to pursue deeply, which shows that our soldiers are very mature and can be calm and calm in urgent situations, which is not easy, and Zhang Jing'an and Zhang General Soldiers should be credited." However, the armament of this musket artillery should be paid attention to, this time the road is narrow, the enemy is few, so we can't bargain under our musket array, in case it is in the open ground and there are many enemies, I am afraid that we will have trouble, I suggest that in the future, when patrolling, try to send people to explore the road first, and it is best to occupy the commanding heights first when crossing the dangerous road, and it is best to carry a few tiger squat cannons that are easy to use. β
Zhang Jing'an saw Zhu Xieyuan praising himself, and hurriedly said: "I have only trained them in the camp for half a month, and these abilities to adapt to changes when encountering the enemy are all their previous accumulation, and they should give their former superiors Xu Chengming, Xu Zongbing, and Fu Zonglong, Fu Jianjun, a credit." In the future, when going forward to harass people, we should definitely explore the way before attacking as Lord Zhu said, so as to avoid such an unprepared encounter again, and as for the configuration of muskets and artillery that Lord Zhu said, we will definitely consider it when conditions permit. β
Seeing that Zhang Jing'an was not greedy for merit, Zhu Xieyuan, Cai Fuyi and others all nodded in approval, and Xu Chengming, the general soldier of Guizhou, and Fu Zonglong, the military supervisor, liked it even more, and secretly said in their hearts that this Zhang Jing'an was interesting enough. Gao Di also nodded and said: "General Zhang is not arrogant or impatient, he has the demeanor of a general, what should you do next?"
