Chapter Eighty-Three: The Northeast Expulsion War (1)

Xiong Tingbi'an first appeased He Shixian, You Shigong two veterans, and then began to arrange the other four generals, you must know that the army's instability is the biggest taboo, but moderate competition is necessary, the veterans must be appeased, the new generation of young people must also continue to exercise, only the two effective combination, the army can gradually become stronger.

"General Sun Chuanting, you led the 50,000 soldiers and horses under your command, and immediately took action after returning, starting from the northeast of Horqin, divided into three divisions and swept eastward along the border, with the purpose of expelling all the Jurchen tribes from the south bank of the Heilongjiang River, driving them to the areas in contact with North Korea, and those who do not want to go will be killed, and the Nuer Gandu Division will push the battle line to the front line of the Mudanjiang River, the time is until the end of September, there are not many battles there, mainly to run away and expel them, because the area is extremely wide, and you must act quickly. If the scheduled time is exceeded, immediately organize a defense on the spot, why? I'm afraid that they will jump over the wall and fight back, which will cause unnecessary losses to you.

"General Man Gui, you don't have to act too quickly, you can only act after you have contact with Sun Chuanting's battle line, and carry out a ferocious blow to the Jurchen tribes you are in contact with, so as to expel them from the current area, and also drive them to the front line of the Yalu River, the same time.

"General Zhao Shujiao, you command the men and horses, start the operation from Tieling, until the north of Shanhaiguan, you are in charge, expelling all the Jurchens in the area, there are more Jurchens in this area, you can increase the deterrence, let the Jurchens think that we are going to kill them all, speed up their escape and let them concentrate on the front line of the Yalu River in the shortest possible time.

"General Mao Wenlong, your task is to separate the troops to be responsible for the reconnaissance of the other three generals, and if necessary, to raid Nurhachi's lair, hehe, you have also done this, but you must pay attention to the safety of your subordinates, and do not attack easily, so as not to cause unnecessary losses."

After arranging the overall situation, some details were discussed, and then Xiong Tingbi stepped up to replenish Sun Chuanting's ammunition, because his task was heavier, and he allocated 5,000 light cavalry from his command to Sun Chuanting, led by Cao Wenzhao, the chief soldier who was born in the army, so as not to have enough troops. Sun Chuanting was not polite, he knew that his 50,000 troops wanted to sweep the entire south bank of the Heilongjiang River to the Mudanjiang River, but he had to think about it to complete it when the task was issued.

After this mission was issued, the most excited was Mao Wenlong, this guy seemed to have taken a stimulant, and quickly rushed back to Tieling without stopping. Since accepting Zhu Youxiao's training thoughts, he hated to toss the rabbit cubs under his command, like all kinds of modern training equipment, weapons, tactics, etc., all of which are extremely skillful, and these soldiers are also practicing vigorously under the accumulation of sufficient logistics, because the last sentence in the emperor's training manual is "sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime", in order to save his life, he would rather suffer all the hardships during training.

Mao Wenlong is also very careful to find talents when training soldiers, he is the chief military officer, according to Zhu Youxiao's training method, the first thing to choose is to choose officers, the choice of officers is quite in line with his appetite, that is, to look for in training, for example, the first training, that is, long-distance running, and there is no need for a big playground, that is, to run around the barracks, he himself takes the lead, and he can be promoted if he can keep up with himself in the end. The second is to train the soldiers' fighting ability, 3,000 people are divided into thirty squads, and the leader of each squad is the strongest fighter. Then the first 100 people were selected from the long-distance running and fighting training to conduct intellectual competitions, and after half a month of tossing, a lot of talents were really selected, forming three brigades, each team of 1,000 people, nine squadrons, each squadron of 100 people, and then divided into each team of 30 people, and the remaining 100 people of each team as a substitute to supplement the official team members.

In the training, Mao Wenlong found his three right-hand men in the later generations: Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde, and Shang Kexi, these three are all opposite-sex vassal kings in the early Qing Dynasty in later generations, and they are also Mao Wenlong's three major thugs, and their abilities are absolutely resounding. Brave, aggressive, killing, delicious, and fun. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not hesitate to issue them a letter of appointment as a brigade commander, that is, a guerrilla general in another army, who changed his name here by Mao Wenlong, and Zhu Youxiao asked them to change their original combat methods, so naturally they should also adjust their establishment and let them give full play to the power of special operations.

Now Mao Wenlong called the three of them and the nine squadron leaders to the front and said: "Monkey cubs, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the emperor has been feeding us for so long, now it's time for us to move our muscles, how about it?" Little cubs? ”

"Kill, kill, kill." That's the answer the bunnies gave him.

"Now, I order: Kong Youde, Geng Jingzhong, and Shang Kexi, each of you will lead two squadrons forward to reconnoitre, and if you encounter the Jurchens, do not move, and rely on your wisdom as much as possible to reconnoiter their tribal premises and strength. The direction of the first brigade is southeast, cooperating with General Zhao Shujiao, the direction of the second brigade is due east to north, cooperating with General Man Gui, and the third brigade is due north and east, cooperating with General Sun Chuanting. The remaining three squadrons, except for the guards who stayed behind, followed the general. ”

After Mao Wenlong finished assigning the task in three sentences and two sentences, he sent away the three generals under his command, and then led the team to set off, no one knew where he was going.

Besides, Sun Chuanting, after returning to the prairie, immediately gathered his men and horses, invited Oba and Zaisang Buhe, told Xiong Tingbi about the task assigned by Xiong Tingbi, and explained to them the purpose and significance of this dispatch, which can be regarded as a trust in them.

Oba first said: "It is a great event for the general to go out on an expedition to make contributions to the country, but after the general goes on the expedition, what if Lin Dan Khan's men and horses from the north come over? ”

Sun Chuanting replied: "Supervisor Xiong has his own arrangements for this matter, and the imperial court still has General Yuan Chonghuan's soldiers and horses not far from the south, and I will report to Inspector Xiong before I go on the expedition, and ask the supervisor to send another man." Secondly, adults should also pay attention to the news of Lin Dan Khan in the north, and organize the existing men and horses of various tribes, just in case. However, according to the news, Lin Dan Khan has been frightened by General Yuan Chonghuan's subordinates, and he does not dare to return to this prairie at all. ”
