"Lord Wang, it is really an honor for the last general to be able to go to Korea with you this time." Dong Yongwen is much more polite now, after all, the strength is there.

Wang Yue laughed and said, "General Dong, we are already friends, why be so polite." ”

Dong Yongwen doesn't have many bad problems, Wang Yue feels that this person can be regarded as the object of fighting.

Dong Yongwen touched his head and said, "Since Lord Wang is my friend, I want to buy something from Lord Wang, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment and asked, "I don't know what General Dong wants to buy?" ”

He said to himself: Do you want to buy a gun?

Dong Yongwen knew that he had misunderstood when he looked at his expression, he didn't dare to think about guns, and he could see from Wang Yue's attitude towards Lu Xiangsheng last time that this was impossible.

"I want to buy five hundred war horses, and last time there were too many people, I was embarrassed to mention it." The source of horses for the Ming army has always been very difficult, Dong Yongwen also made a small fortune last time he followed Wang Yue, so he wanted to buy a batch of horses to enhance his strength, and the combat effectiveness of the ancient cavalry was very considerable.

Wang Yue had captured nearly nine thousand horses last time and equipped six companies of cavalry, which would be used as reconnaissance and pursuit of the enemy. Most of the others were converted into horse-drawn carriages and put into the Shijingshan Industrial Zone, and there are still more than 2,000 horses left.

He said: "Fifty taels and one horses, General Dong can pick them at will." ”

Dong Yongwen said happily: "Thank you, Lord Wang." "The price of real war horses is from eighty to one hundred and twenty taels, and the price of fifty taels is definitely a great deal.

There were many mountainous areas in Korea, and Wang Yue was confident that he would defeat the Qing army, and the task of pursuing the fleeing enemy could be entrusted to the Baoding army.

Thinking of this, Wang Yue said: "I will give General Dong another 100,000 arrows, 2,000 bows, and 100,000 catties of grain." ”

These bows and arrows captured last time are useless to keep, so it is better to give them to him. Wang Yue had already arranged for people to start producing flintlock pistols and steel solid bullet artillery, this flintlock pistol was still the kind with bayonets, and it was definitely the most advanced firearm in this era except for the starting city.

Dong Yongwen was overjoyed, this Nima is worth more than the money he bought a horse, if it is calculated, the five hundred horses are not only equal to nothing, but he also earned. You must know that the production time of a war bow is more than a year, and you can know that the price is expensive, and it is cool to make friends with rich people!

He thanked again and again: "Thank you, thank you, Lord Wang's kindness, Dong Mou understands it." ”

Xie Baoqing came with the slug Park Jinhui again, and Park Jinhui saw Wang Yue looking radiant, where did he look like a sick person?

He looked at Wang Yue with resentment and said, "Lord Wang, when will you send troops, my king wants to pierce it!" ”

Historically, after the siege of Namsan Fortress for 47 days, the Joseon king Yi Liang went out of the city and surrendered, and it was only half a month. Of course, Wang Yue knew, but Park Jinhui didn't know, so it was no wonder that he was in a hurry.

Xie Baoqing also said: "Sihua, Lord Chen and Gonggong Gao asked me to ask you, when will you send troops?" What charters do you have? We will report it to the emperor. ”

Wang Yue handed Xie Baoqing a piece of paper and said, "The specific action plan is on it, and you can set off in three days." ”

The reason why he didn't want to discuss military strategy with Chen Xinjia and others was mainly because he was too lazy to give them illiteracy. These people did not know anything about how modern armies marched and fought, but they were sent by the imperial court to command him, so they were very unhappy. The key is that he doesn't look down on these two people, if Lu Xiangsheng is promoted, or Xie Baoqing is the main coach, he will say something else.

Chen Xinjia and Gao Qiqian looked at Wang Yue's article Chen and glanced at each other, and they both saw dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.

It is said that they are the commander and the supervisor, Wang Yue should listen to the order in front of the account, and they should reprimand Fang Xuan, and order the generals. As a result, Wang Yue relied on this expedition to focus on the Tiance Army, and his own people didn't know about the situation of the Tiance Army and its sailors, and they played this one, did they want to give them an ugly look?

You wait, and I'll pick you up when you get to North Korea.

Chen Xinjia said: "Baoding Chief Soldier Dong listens to the order with a text!" ”

Dong Yongwen arched his hand and said: "The end will be!" ”

Chen Xinjia said: "Three days after your department, the whole team set off from outside the Yongding Gate of the Beijing Division at three o'clock (7:45). "This is the date agreed upon by Wang Yue.

Dong Yongwen said: "Huh! ”

On March 2, 1637, the 24th day of the first month of the tenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

The Tiance Army's expedition sequence is Zhang Jicheng's headquarters of the first regiment (leaving a company and local regimental training to garrison Miyun), the headquarters of Li Zixuan of the third regiment and the Feng Yuanshan headquarters of the fifth regiment, the headquarters of Wang Haokun of the artillery regiment (missing an artillery battalion to stay in the starting point city), Zhang Tiezhu's special operations brigade headquarters, Zhouqiao battalion, military reconnaissance company, medical team, logistics department, etc., a total of more than 5,000 people.

There were 36 armored vehicles of the three regiments, plus more than 60 armored vehicles of other units, one tank of the artillery regiment, and more than 50 tank trucks. These vehicles will be accompanied by more than 30 amphibious assault vehicles of the Navy to cross the sea for battle.

In addition, in order to quickly transport all the officers and men of Tiance to Dagukou, more than 100 48-seater buses and more than 30 box trucks for transporting ammunition were put into the starting point city, and the logistics for entering the DPRK were replenished by the armored vehicles of each regiment between the fleets. The fully mechanized army has too much fuel demand and heavier vehicle maintenance tasks, so it has not been fully equipped.

Because Wang Zhuo insisted on going to Korea, the chief officer who stayed in the starting point city had to be Li Zixiong, with the assistance of Huang Bo, director of the Political Training Office, and Zhang Ying, the captain of the gendarmerie. Now the Political Training Office has been adjusted to the division level, so it has been renamed director, and it is mainly responsible for ideological propaganda work in both the military and civil affairs of the starting city.

In order to show that the imperial court attaches great importance to this expedition, Chongzhen sent Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, to see him off on behalf of the imperial court. This dispatch of troops was promoted by the Korean envoys, Wang Yue agreed, and the ministers of the DPRK and China agreed. Troops, time, and location are advantageous from the current state, seeing that the Qing army is obviously superior, so Chongzhen holds a pessimistic view, then he is even more reluctant to show up, so as not to bear the responsibility for defeat.

Outside the Yongding Gate, nearly 300 vehicles of the Tiance Army plus the phalanxes of various departments occupied much larger land than the Baoding Army. Moreover, the military uniforms worn by the Tiance Army are all camouflage uniforms, which look very different from the perspective of this era. If there were no golden dragon flags of the sun and moon in the military array, I would think that it was not the army of the Ming Dynasty.

The military uniform of the Tiance Army has been reported to the Ministry of War, which was done by Li Jizhen when Yang Sichang was not retained. In addition to the triangular sun and moon golden dragon flags in the Tiance army, each department also has its own four-cornered red flag.

Yang Sichang, Chen Xinjia, Gao Qiqian, Li Jizhen and the officials of the Ministry of War saw such a military formation.

"Xiaguan Wang Yue has seen all the adults!" Wang Yue walked over and said.

Only then did the officials react from their daze.

Yang Sichang, who was wearing a vermilion official uniform, asked in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, are these cars going to accompany the expedition?" ”
