Chapter 142: The Great Army Sets Off
Pro~ The domain name of this site: the abbreviation homonym of "166", which is very easy to remember! Good looking highly recommended: this day.
King Qin of the Ming Dynasty officially set up camp and went to Baoding.
Liu Yuliang also gave a lesson to Chongzhen again, vowing not to return to the dynasty if he did not repel Jiannu.
Emperor Chongzhen was quite moved, and took out 20,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury to reward the whole army to boost morale.
Lu Xiangsheng was also very moved when he heard about it, and said that His Majesty really supported the imperial army in a decisive battle with Jiannu, rather than really blindly making peace, so he strengthened his determination to fight to the death with Jiannu.
But.
Liu Yuliang handed over all the 20,000 taels of silver to Lu Yuan's mighty army for safekeeping.
Obviously, Liu Yuliang wants to control part of the military salary by himself.
After all, controlling military salaries is sometimes the same as controlling the military.
And Liu Yuliang now only has Lu Yuan's army to trust, so he naturally handed over 20,000 taels of silver to Lu Yuan's mighty army.
Of course.
This batch of military salaries was in Lu Yuan's hands, and Lu Yuan naturally did not plan to escort Liu Yuliang for free.
Lu Yuanxian asked Liu Yuliang to agree to spend more than 5,000 taels to the mighty officers and soldiers on the grounds that the imperial court had owed the Weiwu army salaries for more than a year.
Then.
Lu Yuan also asked Liu Yuliang to reward Liu Yuliang with 3,000 taels of silver on the grounds that the mighty army was the most effective in resisting Jiannu, and there were many wounded, and that in order to ensure combat effectiveness, a large amount of medicine needed to be purchased.
These.
Liu Yuliang took them all one by one.
After all, now Liu Yuliang needs the support of Lu Yuan's officers and soldiers.
Even, Liu Yuliang directly wanted to personally reward the mighty soldiers with a sum of silver.
But Lu Yuan refused.
The reason is very simple, Lu Yuan will never allow anyone else to give favors to his army except himself.
Neither can the imperial court.
Lu Yuan has always used an internal reward system, and downplayed the gifts of the imperial court.
Even though the imperial court has crowned Uncle Fei and Shen Guangzu as the president of Qian.
But Lu Yuan did not celebrate this within the mighty army.
Uncle Fei and Shen Guangzu were not very happy about this, because they both understood that they were nothing without the mighty army, and the benefits given by the mighty army were still greater than the documents given by the imperial court without actual rewards.
Of course.
In this era, military attaches mostly supported their families as private soldiers, and the imperial court also turned a blind eye to this, so no one said anything about Lu Yuan's this.
Because most of the Jiannu had already entered the Zhending Mansion in the south, the Ming army did not encounter any Jiannu along the way at this time, and soon recovered the Baoding Mansion.
But when Liu Yuliang received the news that Lu Xiangsheng had recovered Baoding Mansion, he still reported to the court as a token of merit.
At that time.
Lu Xiangsheng was promoted to a pioneer and was stationed in Baoding Province.
Lu Yuan, Liu Yuliang and some officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp camped in Ansu.
Gao Qiqian and Guan Ningbing were still stranded in Dingxing.
After knowing that Lu Xiangsheng had recovered Baoding, Lu Yuan said that he moved Liu Yuliang to continue to set off for Baoding, and urged Gao Qiqian to rush to Qingyuan near Baoding Mansion as soon as possible to avoid Lu Xiangsheng's troops running out of food.
After all, this decisive battle with the main force of Jiannu mainly relied on Lu Xiangsheng's Xuan soldiers.
And Gao Qiqian asked Emperor Chongzhen for an errand to escort grain and grass, so that although Guan Ningbing could avoid a decisive battle with Jiannu, it also caused the logistics supply of Lu Xiangsheng's department to be pinched in Gao Qiqian's hands.
As for Lu Yuan's mighty army logistics, he naturally doesn't have to worry about being pinched by Gao Qiqian.
The liaison station of the mighty army in the capital has already replenished the mighty army with food, grass, medicine, clothing, gunpowder, etc.
Moreover, Lu Yuan also purchased a batch of silver through the reward he received for killing Jiannu, and even asked the baggage team to hire a group of refugees as people to escort these baggage.
Besides.
Although the liaison stations along the route from Baoding to Jingshi had to be evacuated due to the plundering of Jiannu in the south, secret supply points were still set up in various places.
The Great Army can be found directly in the cellars of some towns through locations provided by internal intelligence.
On the 4th of November.
The Lu Yuan Department of the Chinese Army officially arrived in Baoding Fucheng.
At this time, the city of Baoding was in ruins.
The walls of the city have long been ruined.
The moat and nearby ravines were littered with corpses buried in the snow.
It seems that all the corpses are covered with "white clothes", and it seems that the whole city is going on funerals, like a ghost town.
As a result, the sun was already shining, and the "white clothes" on many of the corpses had melted away, revealing only the thin torsos.
The scarce Jiannu not only looted money and people, but also stripped the clothes of the people they killed.
And at this time.
Lu Xiangsheng's Xuan soldiers had already begun to bury the people.
Lu Yuan only sighed when he saw this: "Sure enough, it is a troubled time, and I don't know if the still prosperous Linqing City will be the same in the future." β
"This is only Baoding Mansion City, and next, if we can't recreate slaves, Linqing City will naturally not be like this."
Lu Xiangsheng came over at this time and said.
"I've seen the Governor!"
Lu Yuan hurriedly bowed.
"Jingfang doesn't have to be polite."
Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile, and then said: "At present, the war is rampant and the lives of the people are ruined, it is the time when you and I are loyal to the country and cleanse the world of evil. β
"The last general will remember the precepts of the governor."
Lu Yuan said.
"You don't have to be called the last general, call yourself Jingfang in private in the future, although you are a military attachΓ©, I have chosen a word for you, which means that you are my student, unless you don't want to recognize this official as a teacher in your eyes."
Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile.
"The last general, Jing Fang didn't dare, but he didn't dare to think that he would be lucky enough to recognize the governor as a teacher."
Lu Yuan said.
Lu Xiangsheng smiled, and only said: "Now that the decisive battle with Jiannu is imminent, you can tell me how you captured Chang Adai in Wuqing, if you can, this official also wants to see your army again, so that five thousand Jiannu iron cavalry can lose hundreds of iron cavalry under the Jingshi City, it should not just learn Qi Shaobao's training method." β
Lu Xiangsheng smiled at Lu Yuan as he spoke.
"Since the governor said so, how dare Jing Fang hide his secrets, if the governor wants to inspect the Jing Fang family, he will directly order it, but should the governor discuss it with the governor before reviewing it together?"
Lu Yuan actually didn't know why Lu Xiangsheng was so close to him, which made him very annoyed, after all, he was in the same camp as Liu Yuliang now.
And Lu Xiangsheng is a lonely minister without a party, if he is close to Lu Xiangsheng, it will naturally affect Liu Yuliang's opinion of himself.
Lu Xiangsheng also laughed: "This is natural." β
At this time.
Liu Wu rushed over, first saluted Lu Xiangsheng, and then said to Lu Yuan: "Lu Dusi, my lord invites you over." β
Lu Yuan had no choice but to say goodbye to Lu Xiangsheng and rush to Liu Yuliang's guard of honor.
Liu Yuliang didn't have anything to do with Lu Yuan, but asked Lu Yuan again if there were any Jiannu scouts nearby.
As a civilian official who led troops to the expedition for the first time, Liu Yuliang was instinctively scared after seeing the tragedy of the military disaster full of ruins and mountains of corpses.
Lu Yuan had to reply again that Liu Yuliang was completely relieved after saying that there was no Jiannu in the Baoding Mansion, and promised to review Lu Yuan's mighty army with Lu Xiangsheng in Baoding Mansion.
Meantime.
Lu Xiangsheng also asked the military attaches under his command to follow him to learn about the mighty army. 166 Reading Network
