Chapter 44: Defeat of the Extravagant Army

Qin Yiming had been waiting for this opportunity, and couldn't help but want to support several times, but was stopped by the commander of the cavalry battalion. Now, with a wave of his hand, the cavalry battalion rushed forward like a torrent, and the infantry contracted their formation, giving way for the cavalry to pass, and then continued to charge the whole team and slowly follow forward.

Yu Chongming had no way to control his troops, so he had to flee with him. Soon, all the extravagant soldiers near the north gate joined the ranks of fleeing, Qin Liangyu ordered the white pole soldiers to start advancing and chasing, while Lu Qin led the guards to advance step by step, always maintaining a stable formation.

The White Pole Soldiers are extremely fast, but the troops fighting the Autumn Wind are even faster. When Yu Chongming's army had just begun to collapse, Yang Shucheng, the deputy envoy of Denglai, and Liu Fenqian, the deputy envoy of An Jin, immediately pressed all the soldiers and joined the ranks of the water dogs.

The extravagant soldiers can be said to be even worse, and the troops who usually dare not approach at all now dare to chase after them. But the situation is stronger than people, and the combat effectiveness of the unformed native soldiers who escaped is now equal to zero, if it is not a negative number, any kind of fish belly army can bully them. Therefore, this tailwind battle was fought very easily, and Yang Shucheng and Liu Fenqian both captured a lot.

Qin Yiming stopped after chasing for more than ten miles, and just sent a few scouts to follow the defeated soldiers from a distance, and then the large army began to return. On the way, they met the white pole soldiers who were cutting off their heads, and then slowly returned together.

After converging the guards, everyone came to the north gate together, the city gate was wide open, and Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan, stood outside the city to greet them. Qin Liangyu dismounted and bowed, while Lu Qin stepped forward to salute the governor with a military salute of the guards. Zhu Xieyuan frowned, but did not speak, but the inspector next to him, Xue Puzheng, couldn't hold it back, and said with an unkind face: "Why didn't Deputy General Lu kneel when he saw the governor?" This adverb is particularly important. The implication is that the general soldiers are all kneeling, and you deputy general soldiers dare not kneel.

Lu Qin said expressionlessly: "The emperor said that my guards will not kneel when they see any officials. ”

Xue Puzheng was so angry that he shouted: "Where there are such rules, where are there such rules!" ”

Lu Qin said: "Since the patrol lord wants to talk about the rules, then Lu will come to talk to you about the rules." How many officials is the inspector? ”

Xue Puzheng said proudly: "I am a seven-rank official, and I am a jinshi in the forty-first year of Wanli. ”

Lu Qin smiled and said, "I'm the second grade, you are the seventh grade, why don't you bow down when you see me?" ”

Xue Puzheng's eyes widened, looking at Lu Qin as if he was looking at a fool, and his voice was a little hysterical: "I'm a civil official, a civil official, understand?" ”

"Oh, it turns out that civil officials can not worship military attachés according to rank, but military attachés should not kneel down to civil officials according to their rank?"

Xue Puzheng looked at him without saying a word, do you still need to ask this question? Do you still need to answer such a stupid question?

"I'm really sorry, we don't have these rules in the Guards, the soldiers in our Guards don't kneel when they see the emperor, if you don't accept it, it's better to join me in the last song!" Lu Qin was about to take out Shang Fang's sword, but he was afraid that the governor's face would not look good, so he only said this for a while and ignored him.

Governor Zhu Xieyuan knew that Lu Qin had Shang Fangjian, so of course he wouldn't tell Xue Xun. With a haha, he brought everyone into the city and came directly to the governor's yamen.

After everyone sat down, Zhu Xieyuan began to arrange a follow-up strategy. He demanded that Qin Liangyu, Yang Shucheng, and Liu Fenqian continue to pursue Hao Chongming's army, and strive to annihilate the living forces of Hao Chongming's army in one fell swoop.

At this time, Li Biao, the governor of Guizhou, had sent the general soldiers Zhang Yanfang, Du Si Xu Chengming, Huang Yunqing and others to rescue Sichuan, after they entered Sichuan, they have recovered Zunyi, Suiyang, Meitan and other places, and now they are attacking Tongziyi, and will soon enter Luzhou and approach Yongning. When everyone fights Yongning together, then Yu Chongming will have no choice but to surrender.

Qin Liangyu asked strangely, "Lord Governor, what about the thieves in Chongqing?" The last general has ordered our Shi Yan soldiers to occupy Nanping Pass, cutting off the back road of the Chongqing bandits, and we all go to Yongning, so what should they do if they call the CD? ”

Zhu Xieyuan said with a smile: "It's okay, Du Wenhuan, the deputy chief soldier of Yansui, has been ordered to come to CD, and Benfu will let them go to Chongqing to kill the Chongqing thieves." ”

Qin Liangyu said: "The last general thinks that Chongqing should be recovered first, so that our army can be combined in one place, and then press it with a thunderous momentum, so that it can be leveled in one fell swoop." ”

Xue Puzheng sneered: "General Qin, the governor has no last resort, since the strategy has been decided, there is no need for General Qin to say more." ”

In the army of the Ming Dynasty, it has always been the civilian official who is responsible for telling you where to fight, and the military generals only need to fight, Qin Liangyu's words made Xue Puzheng extremely dissatisfied, when can the military generals also formulate a strategy.

Lu Chin said angrily: "Since you want us to fight, can't we make some suggestions? The emperor in our guards listened to us first and then summed it up, Xue Xun thinks you will be smarter than the emperor? ”

Zhu Xieyuan hurriedly said to the mud: "Don't argue with the two, General Qin thinks that Chongqing should be down first, and this government also thinks that it should be so, but this government feels that with General Du, Chongqing should be able to go down, so I want General Qin to attack Yongning." ”

Zhu Xieyuan himself was not a pedantic Confucian student, and he was one of the few civil officials in the Ming Dynasty who saw the defects of using literature to control martial arts, and he understood that he could not know how to fight a war better than his generals, since Qin Liangyu put forward a different opinion, and it was reasonable, he would certainly accept it.

"Then according to General Qin's words, first come to destroy the thieves in Chongqing, and then gather a large army, strike a thunderous blow at Yongning, and eliminate the troubles in the southwest forever."

It was a little strange for Lu Qin to see that the governor was so easy to speak. In fact, in the original history, Zhu Xieyuan was one of the few civil officials who did not discriminate against military generals, and he did not understand until the third year of the Apocalypse that the division of troops could not eliminate the bandits, so he later changed his style and surrounded with heavy troops, and quickly quelled the rebellion of extravagant Chongming.

At the moment, Zhu Xieyuan ordered Qin Liangyu to lead Lu Qin, Yang Shucheng, and Liu Fenqian, with a total of 12,000 troops, to attack Chongqing, and write a report to the imperial court on the situation in the southwest and the merits of each general. Lu Qin also wrote his own recital and handed it to Yu Kuaima to bring back to Beijing.

In the recital, Lu Qin gave a detailed description of the situation of the Guards in the southwest, believing that the Guards were performing well and their morale was high, and they could return to Beijing after pacifying the extravagant Chongming. In the recital, Lu Qin highly praised Zhu Xieyuan, saying that he was a good official who did not discriminate against military generals and could listen to the opinions of emulation. And praised the combat power of the white pole soldiers.

Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed after receiving the two of them, it is a good thing to drive Yu Chongming away from CD in such a short time, and the most feared thing about rebellion is that it takes a long time, because the consumption is too large, Xu Guangqi complained last time, and the expenditure of money and grain in Liaodong has made the household department breathless.
