Chapter 62 Summary
On the one hand, even praise Diao Zheng for doing a beautiful job this time, on the other hand, he also sighed at the incompetence of Gao Qiqian, this is really a soldier, a nest of bears, the same are the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, when the soldiers and generals of Xuanda and Shanxi followed Lu Xiangsheng, they dared to confront the Tartars head-on, but those Guanning troops, who were known as the first strongest soldiers, became a group of rats after they arrived under the eunuch Gao Qiqian, and they obviously held the absolute advantage and initiative on the battlefield. And these officers and soldiers were stunned by Diao Zheng and were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, which shows how serious the consequences of following the wrong person are, Chongzhen favors Gao Qiqian such a fool, if he can sit firmly in the world, it will really be a hell.
Xiao Tianjian was a person who was good at summing up experience, and immediately ordered Li Xin to record the situation of this battle in detail, and make a detailed analysis, to review the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides in the formation and tactics used in this battle, and then compiled it into a book, compiled it into a classic model of combat examples of the Xingtian Army, and distributed it to the officers above the rank of general for them to circulate and study, and also to the various lecture halls for the trainees to study.
And Li Xin admires Xiao Tianjian's style very much, as the commander of an interest group, it is extremely rare for Xiao Tianjian to do this, because their group is getting bigger and bigger, and it is impossible for everyone to have the opportunity to participate in every large-scale war. Then these examples of the war were issued to the generals at all levels for reference, so that not to look at some major battles, many generals could not participate, but they could understand the details of these battles in detail, and draw considerable experience from them, which is also the key to the generals of the Xingtian Army to be good at using troops in battles, and in a short period of time, they can quickly grow up and become a qualified commander.
You must know that Xiao Tianjian did this, but it is very different from the current generals of the Ming Dynasty, most of the generals of the Ming Dynasty are hereditary military positions, and they each have a set of experience handed down from their ancestors for the control, use and training of soldiers, and these experiences are the capital for these generals to rely on to eat, and they regard it as something that is absolutely secret, except for the heirs, it will never be easily passed on to their subordinates, so now because of the war in the Ming Dynasty for many years, the court has to rely on these generals. The generals began to gradually form a warlord group, and each began to faintly form a situation where the army was self-respecting, so that the imperial court also began to cast a rat trap on these warlord groups, and easily did not dare to move them, even if they often lost one battle after another, they would not easily dismiss them and cut off their heads at every turn like Zhu Youzhen did with civilian officials, and the generals saw this, and they knew the importance of soldiers and horses to them, and they easily did not dare to fight to the death on the battlefield, and fought their old books. As long as the soldiers and horses are still there, the court will have no good way to deal with them, and they will just be reprimanded if it's a big deal, which is also the reason why the Ming Dynasty has been fighting more and more against the Tartars and the mutant army over the years.
However, Xiao Tianjian did not hesitate to pass on these experiences to officers at all levels, and to a certain extent, he also avoided the situation that senior officers would not lose their tails to Xiao Tianjian because of their merits and their experience, anyway, the qualified generals of the Xingtian Army grew up very fast, and they didn't care about one or two disobedient people who wanted to support the army and respect themselves, as long as you were disobedient, there would be generals who wanted to go up and wait in the back, and taking you away would not affect the combat effectiveness of the army at all, so that the senior officers would have a kind of pressure, It's like sailing against the current, if they don't advance or retreat, they can't help but not fight the battlefield, otherwise this position is not stable for them, and the slightest slack will be replaced by others.
In addition to Diao Zheng's battle, Xiao Tianjian led the troops to the north this time, and the army also brought a considerable number of clerks, the main job of these people is not to fight, but to record all kinds of things encountered in the northern expedition with their pens, from the summary of the war to some trivial matters of the needle and thread, all of which were required by Xiao Tianjian to be recorded in detail, and then summarized and sorted out, and counted out the problems they encountered in the north this time. Although Li Xin often leads troops to fight with him at the moment, he is still subordinate to the clerical system for the time being, so he is responsible for some work in this regard.
After listening to these Diao Zheng's horsemen who had narrated the battle situation, Xiao Tianjian waved them down to rest and stay in the army for the time being, but another young chief finally said to Xiao Tianjian: "Qi Yu Dashuai, the small danger is some to forget one thing, this time Diao Deputy Du sent me to report the news, specifically to the humble position, he said that the reason why we were able to defeat Gao Qiqian in this battle has a great relationship with which Mr. Lu in the army, Mr. Lu for Diao Deputy Du to unify this battle, put forward some useful suggestions, Told Deputy Diao that the key to this battle was to fight the Chinese army at all costs, so Deputy Diao adopted Mr. Lu's opinion, and after the start of the battle, he led his troops to attack the Chinese army with high dives, and fled in fear of the battle, resulting in a rout of the entire official army! Therefore, Mr. Lu also made great contributions in this battle, and Deputy Dutong Diao specially ordered his humble position to be clear to the marshal! ”
The vast majority of people didn't know who this Mr. Lu was, and even Xiao Tianjian was a little confused after hearing it, where did a Mr. Lu appear?
In fact, it's no wonder that Xiao Tianjian and they are a little confused, Lu Xiangsheng was still in a coma when he was arranged by Xiao Tianjian to return to Luoyang with Diao Zhengnan to recuperate, and Xiao Tianjian asked Li Qi to accompany him, and he didn't specifically tell Diao Zheng what kind of fake name Lu Xiangsheng had, and this Mr. Lu was Lu Xiangsheng's surname changed after he woke up, so Xiao Tianjian didn't understand the situation and was a little confused.
When he saw Xiao Tianjian asking which Mr. Lu with a puzzled face, the commander of the cavalry was also a little confused, so he said to Xiao Tianjian: "Isn't it the Mr. Lu who specially explained to the deputy commander of Diao and wanted to take good care of him on the road?" ”
After saying this, Xiao Tianjian realized that the Mr. Lu that Diao Zheng was talking about was actually Lu Xiangsheng, and after hearing this, he laughed out loud, waved his hand and smiled: "It turned out to be him!" Ha ha! Good! Good! Looks like he figured it out! Not bad! That's even better news! Then give him a credit too! No wonder Diao Zheng fought so hard and accurately, it turned out that someone from behind his back gave him a point or two! Ha ha! Good! ”
Everyone didn't know why Xiao Tianjian was so happy, and they didn't know who this Mr. Lu was, so they also smirked, secretly speculating about the identity of this Mr. Lu, only the iron head was expressionless, but his eyes flickered a few times, and a slight smile was revealed.
