Yang Xuan answered one by one, looking at Qian Bangqi's appearance, Yang Xuan suddenly smiled and said: "Qian Yushi, Qian Jianjun, you are a well-educated person and have read a lot of books. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Think about it, from ancient times to the present, there are a lot of prison soldiers, but there are not many prison soldiers who really leave their names in history, do you know what the reason is? ”

Qian Bangqi's face immediately fell, and he said with a suffocated mouth: "This, this, the lower officials are only shallow in their studies, and this time they are also under the order of the Governor of the Four Provinces, King Xiong, to your loyal and righteous army as a supervisor. ”

Seeing the other party's appearance, Yang Xuan smiled and asked, "My lord, since ancient times, the imperial court has sometimes set up a prison army, and sometimes it has not set up a prison army, I really don't understand the mystery of the prison army, so the prison army is stigmatized.

Just like in this dynasty, since the Yongle period, most of the superintendents in the army are eunuchs, except for asking for bribes and interfering with the main general, it is really useless. ”

Qian Bangqi laughed, pointed to himself and said: "General, I, Qian Bangqi, am from the imperial history, an upright scholar, you, you use eunuchs as an analogy, it seems that as a prison army under your account, I am really angry." ”

Yang Xuan smiled, shook his head and said, "Qian Yushi, I don't mean to insult adults at all, I just want to say that they don't understand the meaning of supervising the army?"

Any family is composed of men and women, but in the army, it is basically a man's paradise, and the general is generally too irritable and too impatient to do things, which requires the mediation of the supervising army.

In addition, many generals may fight in a set, but the main focus is on fighting the war, and they do not pay attention to the changes in the morale of the soldiers, nor do they have time to encourage the morale of the soldiers, let alone manage the military supplies, manage the treatment of wounded soldiers, and help the soldiers transcribe letters to their families and report safety.

…….

Mr. Qian, these things need to be done, but because of such and such problems, the main general has not done it at all, and this is what the prison army should do. ”

Qian Bangqi laughed when he heard it: "The old man originally thought that you, Yang Zixiu, were rejecting the prison army, but it turned out to be such a set.

I want to be a man, let the prison army be a woman, the general is outside, and the army is inside.

Tell me, is that what you mean? ”

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Generally speaking, this is the meaning, eating, drinking, sleeping, everything needs to be managed, but it is impossible for the master to be responsible for everything."

Since the establishment of the Loyal and Righteous Army, the brigade has set up a secretary and a battalion (division) has set up an assistant, although these are not explicitly stated, but in fact they are the supervising army in the army, but they assist the chief general in managing only one brigade and one battalion.

In the past, I have always told those secretaries and assistants that eating, drinking, and blowing in the army, educating the army, keeping accounts in the army, mobilizing in the army, and saving the dead and protecting the wounded are all their affairs, and they are mainly auxiliary to the commander-in-chief.

With the assistance of the chief secretary and assistant military supervisors, the commander-in-chief can concentrate his main energy on the training and drills of the troops and on directing operations, fighting battles and marching troops, instead of worrying about everything and making everything chaotic.

If there is such a thing as corruption and empty salaries in the army, I will not blame the commander-in-chief, but only the secretary general and the assistant who supervise the army.

If the general is promoted, if the secretary general and the assistant are in agreement with the chief general, they will be directly promoted. If the opinion is to the left, the Shangguan will mediate and deal with it. ”

As Yang Xuan said, many of the prison soldiers in the Ming Dynasty were eunuchs, and the prison army had a very bad reputation in the army, for fear that Yang Xuan would not accept the position of the prison army.

Now listening to his introduction, the power of this superintendent is too great, and he is almost the undisputed second-in-command in the army.

Yang Xuan now wants to set up an officer training battalion, let him do this, as long as he can ensure that the loyal and righteous army can support all departments of the Ming army, as long as he can ensure that this army is absolutely loyal to the imperial court.

On the night of 29 April, Chen Huaixi led his naval army down the Jialing River and suddenly launched an offensive against the ancient city of Diaoyu at midnight.

Previously, when attacking Guang'an Prefecture, the Loyal and Righteous Army made a plan, that is, to attack the Diaoyu Ancient City and attack Hezhou to force Zhang Guangcai to withdraw his troops, so the Loyal and Righteous Army had an understanding of the deployment of troops in the Diaoyu Ancient City and Hechuan City.

Diaoyu ancient city is the confluence of Jialing River and Qujiang River, if the Diaoyu ancient city is captured, the counties of Guang'an Prefecture can be the same as the river of Shunqing Prefecture, fast cargo transportation.

Compared with land transportation, shipping can reach more than 200 miles in a day and a night downstream, and more than 100 miles in countercurrent. More importantly, the number of goods carried, a cargo ship can easily transport more than 40 loads of cargo.

And land transportation is different, according to the quite fast wheelbarrow, at most two loads of goods are transported, and at most more than 40 miles a day, in the steep slope section is required one person to pull in front, another person to push in the back, quite troublesome.

Due to the important strategic location of Diaoyu City (which is a strategic point for Sichuan), and the fact that the Loyal and Righteous Army has now captured the county seat of Wusheng, in order to prevent the Loyal and Righteous Army from going down the Jialing River, Zhang Wenxiu left his deputy general Wang Mazi to lead more than 500 people to defend here.

The scout reported that in order to defend the Diaoyu City, Zhang Wenxiu can be said to have spared no expense, and there were 5 Franc cannons and more than 20 large and small ships on the Diaoyu City alone.

That night, He Dou, the captain of the naval army, led five sampan boats and two small boats filled with sulfur down the river and lit the sulfur about 200 meters away from the water village.

The water village is full of collected warships, most of these boats are rebuilt from fishing boats, and they are suddenly attacked, and the water village is in chaos, and He Dou and others sail close to the water village, and use tiger squat cannons to bombard the boats inside the water village from a distance.

In order to avoid the attack on the camp by the loyal army, the Furang machine gun in the ancient city was pulled over, and the sampan boat on the river was bombarded from afar.

And the boats in the water village swarmed out, ready to besiege the sampan boats.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, He Dou led the sampan boat to fight and walk, so that he walked for more than ten miles.

Wang Mazi saw that although the opponent's ship was not big, it was quite fast, and he was afraid of being ambushed, and was about to turn around and retreat to the ancient city of Diaoyu.

Suddenly, more than 30 ships sailed out from the downstream and opened fire on the small boats of the Great Western Army.

However, the ships of the Loyal and Righteous Army did not give a chance to fight at all, and bombarded the ships of the Onishi Army from a distance, and when they got closer, they released birds and threw thunderbolts.

The Great Western Army was not accustomed to this strange tactic at all, and fought until dawn, except for six ships that escaped back, more than ten other ships were bombed and sunk on the Jialing River.

After thwarting the naval forces of the Great Western Army, after a short rest, Chen Huaixi led the naval army to avoid the Furlong machine guns on the Diaoyu Ancient City, drove straight in, and resisted the upper reaches of Hezhou on the morning of May 3, and then used the Furlong machine guns and tiger squat guns on the Flying Tiger warship and the tiger squat guns on the sampan ships to bombard the Hezhou Water Village in the distance.

Yin Sansheng, the general of the Hechuan garrison of the Great Western Army, led the Hezhou Naval Army to fight, but most of the naval troops were rebuilt from civilian ships, and they were mainly based on connecting operations, and their firepower, speed, and defense were far inferior to those of the Loyal and Righteous Army.

As soon as the battle was fought, the Loyal and Righteous Army and the Navy, and the Onishi Army did not recognize this tactic, everyone went against the current to pursue all the way, although the pursuit of the Loyal and Righteous Army Naval Division was more than ten miles, but more than ten ships were injured and sunk.

Yin Sansheng saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly led the army to retreat, seeing that the other party wanted to retreat, Chen Huaixi led the navy down the river, and there were as many as five or six captured warships alone.

In the face of the fighting style of the loyal and righteous army, Yin Sansheng had no choice but to send a messenger to Zhang Wenxiu's big tent for help.

At this time, Zhang Wenxiu was defeated by the Ming general Zeng Ying, and his troops were retreating to Hezhou.

It turned out that Zhang Wenxiu left 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Hezhou to protect the safety of the back road, and personally led the army to attack Chongqing.

In order to defeat the invading enemy, Zeng Ying ordered the generals Li Zhanchun, ******, Zhang Tianxiang and others to lead a large army to garrison Chongqing City, and personally led more than 1,000 personal soldiers to suddenly detour to the rear of the Great Western Army, taking advantage of their unpreparedness to defeat the heavy troops of the Great Western Army, everyone changed their clothes and mixed into the camp of the Great Western Army.

The next day, Li Zhanchun, ******, Zhang Tianxiang and others led the main force to fight, as soon as the two sides fought, Zeng Ying led the army to make a rebellion, the Great Western Army was defeated, and Zhang Wenxiu was killed and retreated for more than 30 miles before closing the formation.

Now hearing that the loyal army from the upper reaches of the Jialing River to kill, Zhang Wenxiu was shocked, although the number of the loyal army is very small, but this year down the sudden rise of the army, its troops not only defeated the local tyrants in northern Sichuan many times, but also defeated the Great Western Army two months ago, beheaded the left governor **** Li, captured Shunqing Mansion.

In addition, Hezhou is the confluence of the Jialing River and the Fujiang River, and if the Fujiang River is lost, it will not only cut off the grain and grass transportation of the Great Western Army by water, but also the return route of the Great Western Army at this stage.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Wenxiu had to draw more than 2,000 men and horses from the precious siege soldiers and horses, led by Wang Fuchen, the left governor of the naval army, to protect the safety of the back road.

After seeing the main force of the Great Western Army's naval army coming back to help, Chen Huaixi led the army to retreat ten miles north, established a water village at the upstream Yunmen Wharf, formed a corner with the infantry army, and sent the naval army and cavalry across the river from time to time to harass the various units of the Great Western Army and threaten the safety of its rear.

Zeng Ying became famous for defeating Zhang Wenxiu's department in Chongqing, and Zeng Ying even thought that he had the qualifications of a famous general and did not take other generals seriously.
